==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|250px|thumb|Ann and Liko]]
Ann first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She met [[Liko]] when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the [[Pokédex]] installed on her [[Rotom Phone]], she was given {{p|Oshawott}} to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against [[Liko's Sprigatito]], which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s pendant and asked about it.

After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy.

Ann reappeared in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that [[Dot|Nidothing]] would do in a few hours.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her {{p|Sandshrew}}.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Ann spoke with Liko before class and noted that she had caught a {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}. Ann appeared again when Liko gave her presentation for class.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Ann arrived at [[Naranja Academy]], having enrolled as a temporary student to train for [[Tera Training]]. After reuniting with Liko, she met [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] and had a battle with Liko, using her {{p|Dewott}} to battle against {{p|Floragato}}. After a tough battle, Liko emerged victorious.

During her Tera Training journey, Ann received her challenge, and managed to pass her first exam.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann met up again with Liko and her friends and, after being introduced to {{an|Terapagos}}, she spent the day with them. During the return to Naranja Academy, Ann revealed to Liko her real feelings as a Trainer and together they arrived at [[Mesagoza]]. In the [[HZ055|next episode]], Ann stayed with Liko and her friends while they received information that they would participate in a battle against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]]. During the battles, Ann watched the matches with Liko. In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', she watched her friend and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]] alongside {{an|Nemona}} and Roy.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Ann was seen with the other students during [[Clavell]]'s speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.
[[File:Ann vs Niko HZ066.png|250px|thumb|left|Ann battling Niko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ann participated in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] at the Naranja Academy, where she faced [[Niko]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Ann took care of Terapagos while Liko battled Roy, and during the climax of the battle, Ann joined the others in cheering for her friends. After the conclusion of Tera Training and the tournament, Ann revealed to Liko that she was returning to [[Kanto]] to continue her studies at [[Indigo Academy]] and that she would like to face Liko again when she is stronger.

Ann reappeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]''.

One year later, in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', some time after Liko returned to Indigo Academy, Ann was heard telling her roommate that she was going to be late for class.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Ann was seen with Liko attending a class on {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. After the class, she went with her new and evolved {{p|Samurott}} for the second part of the class, leaving Liko in the classroom. In the past year, Ann has become one of the best students at Indigo Academy, standing out for the Selection Team, which competes for a spot in the [[Pokémon League]]. During a battle against a Trainer and her {{p|Wartortle}}, Liko discovered that Ann had received an offer to join [[Blueberry Academy]] from the institution's [[Cyrano|director]].
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|250px|thumb|Ann vs Roy]]
At night, the two talked about everything Liko had been through in the last few months, which made Liko think about her feelings after the events in [[Laqua]]. The next day, Ann talked to Liko about the offer she received and how the possibility of being in the Pokémon League was getting closer and closer. Some time later, Ann tried to defend the Rising Volt Tacklers from some students, seeing that this subject still made Liko sad.

In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'', Ann met up with Roy again when he went to the Indigo Academy to seek Liko's help. Then in the cafeteria, the three talked about what happened to the Rising Volt Tacklers and all the public manipulation that [[Exceed]] and [[Spinel]] did on top of the events in Laqua. When Liko decided to go after {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, who had disappeared, Ann challenged Roy to a Pokémon battle, where, despite giving her best, Samurott was defeated by Roy's Lucario.

This battle began to draw the attention of some students at Indigo Academy because of Roy's affiliation with the Rising Volt Tacklers. After the battle, it was Liko's turn to battle and Ann served as the referee. Afterwards, Ann was approached by some students due to Roy's presence and Liko intervened and exposed that she herself is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, thus revealing the whole truth to those present. After Liko decided to continue traveling with Roy, Ann and Roy had a conversation about how the last year was for Liko and the three said goodbye at the bus stop. Alongside her Pokémon, Ann once again saw Liko start over, this time trying to expose the whole truth.

Ann was mentioned by Liko in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', where she revealed that Ann accepted [[Cyrano]]'s invitation and became an exchange student at Blueberry Academy.

In ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'', Ann had a [[Double Battle]] with [[Lacey]], but the outcome of the battle was unknown. After reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot, Ann met [[Ult]] for the first time before watching Roy in a Double Battle against Nemona.

In [[HZ127]], Ann decided to help Liko, Roy, Dot, Ult, and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in erasing [[Laquium]] at Laqua for good. Ann then had a battle against Liko, using her Samurott to battle against [[Liko's Armarouge]]. After a tough battle, both Pokémon were defeated, resulting in a double knockout.

In [[HZ131]], Ann traveled to [[Levincia]] accompanied by Nemona and [[Penny]]. She revealed that in recent days she had been training with Nemona for the upcoming battle; later, Ann watched Roy's battle against [[Master Mayonnaise]] along with the others.

In [[HZ133]], Ann went with Liko, [[Captain Pikachu]], and [[Diana]] on the latter's {{p|Arcanine}} to go further in Laqua while Dot, Nemona, and Penny stayed behind to battle the [[Explorers]]. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Ann, Liko, Captain Pikachu, and Diana meet up with [[Amethio]], [[Onia]], and [[Zirc]], as they worked together to help the Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines. After [[Captain Pikachu]] destroyed the machines and Pagogo purified the Laquium from the Pokémon with Zygarde, Onia, and Zirc taking them to safety, Ann, Liko, and Diana meet up with their friends. Ann and the group then encounter [[Spinel]], [[Rubina]], and [[Indi]].

In [[HZ135]], Ann and her friends start erasing the Laquium Core, but the Explorers got in the way, even defeating Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process. However, Ann and the group became surprised when [[Coral]] turned against Spinel and used her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take Sylveon's place. Ann and the group became even more surprised when [[Chalce]] and [[Sidian]] also turned against Spinel as they with Coral decided to team up with the heroes in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken, much to Ann and the group's shock. Ann and the group tried to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core was the weak point that they needed to hit. In the [[HZ136|next episode]], Ann helped the group give Roy and Amethio time for their Mega-Evolved Legendary Pokémon to get charged up so they can destroy the Laquium Core's defenses. Ann then witnesses the Laquium Core being destroyed for good. After the threat with Laquium was over, Ann returned to Indigo Academy.

===Character===
[[File:Ann Nemona Penny.png|250px|thumb|left|Ann with Nemona and Penny]]
Ann is an energetic girl who is very extroverted. She has a habit of being messy, but is shown to be considerate, keeping her mess to herself. She expresses concern and encourages her close friend [[Liko]] to try and understand her partner Pokémon. Over time, Ann grew quite close to {{an|Nemona}} and [[Penny]], with Nemona watching Ann's battles and later being trained by Nemona herself. This was shown again later when the three decided on their own to assist the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Ann revealed that she wants to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that focuses on {{pkmn|battle}}s, while Liko was still figuring out her path at the time. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann revealed that her main goal was the [[Pokémon League]].

A year later, Ann had gained significant reputation and respect within Indigo Academy. This prestige led to her receiving invitations to join other Academies, including an exchange student program in [[Blueberry Academy]] from director [[Cyrano]] himself, which she accepted before ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]''.

In ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness!]]'', she has the staff of the [[Terarium]] create [[Diamond Dust]] so that she could show it to Liko — with the Dust being rainbow coloured. She then tells Liko she loves her more than anyone else does whilst blushing.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ann party.png|250px|thumb|Ann and her Pokémon]]
Ann's Pokémon are very close and friendly to each other. Ann is also very attached to her Pokémon, to the point that she considers them the biggest reason she follows through on her dreams.

Despite being a beginner {{pkmn|Trainer}} like [[Liko]], her Dewott managed to stand its ground despite her Pokémon's weakness against Floragato. Ann is also a versatile Trainer, using specific [[move]]s on her Pokémon to cover their weaknesses, as analyzed by [[Rika]].

It reappeared in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where it was revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Dewott}}. It had a [[rematch]] against Liko's Floragato, but lost.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Dewott was used to face [[Niko]]'s {{p|Roserade}} in [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]].

In [[HZ127]], Samurott battled against [[Liko's Armarouge]], where it Terastallized into a Ground type. After a tough battle, both Pokémon were eventually knocked out, resulting in a draw.

In [[HZ134]], Samurott was sent out to help the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon in purify Laquium for good. In the [[HZ135|next episode]], Samurott and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing [[Penny]]'s {{p|Sylveon}} in the process, until [[Coral]] sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the {{pkmn|category|Intertwining Pokémon}}'s place. However, Samurott and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Samurott subsequently teamed up with its friends to take down the Laquium Core. It then helped its allies to weaken the Laquium Core, before joining its allies to purify the core in the [[HZ136|next episode]].

Samurott's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Razor Shell}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Drill Run}}.}}

Easter egg

2026-06-13T04:14:06Z

Roserade57: /* In animation */

'''Easter eggs''' are hidden parts of a game or software that are usually discovered by more experienced players. There have been a number of Easter eggs throughout the [[Pokémon]] franchise. In the {{pkmn|games}}, there are several items, locations, and events that are considered by some to be Easter eggs.

This page lists notable easter eggs but is not comprehensive and what qualifies may be subjective.

==In the core series games==
===Truck===
[[File:SS Truck.png|thumb|200px|The truck, as it appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In the [[Kanto]]-based games, there is a [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|truck]] which appears in the [[S.S. Anne]]'s port which serves no evident purpose except as scenery. It is not seen in regular gameplay, as it requires the player to use {{m|Surf}} before the player obtains the HM for it and has the Soul Badge to make the field move usable. The map in which the truck is located is only normally accessible before the player can obtain {{m|Surf}} but is no longer accessible after the player receives {{HM|01|Cut}} and the S.S. Anne departs. There are a number of ways around this. One is trading a Pokémon that knows Cut into the game, thus making the initial trip to the S.S. Anne for {{HM|01|Cut}} unnecessary. Another involves getting the HM from the ship's Captain then battling a Trainer and losing. This leads to the player [[Black out|blacking out]] and running to the [[Pokémon Center]] without the ship leaving. Another method is to simply skip the S.S. Anne and Vermilion Gym and return once Surf and the Soul Badge have been obtained. With scenery being very sparse in the [[Generation I]] games, and this being one of the few sprites with no other purpose than to exist in one spot, fans began speculating that another purpose existed for this truck, and that it could perhaps be moved with {{m|Strength}}. Thus, a popular rumor sprang up that a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} could be found underneath, though this was proven false.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the truck is still present. On its pier, if the player walks down a bit, they can find a hidden [[Lava Cookie]], unavailable until later in the game at the [[Sevii Islands]]. However, the method of blacking out and returning was not included, with the ship simply departing upon the player's re-entry if attempted.

In {{LGPE}}, a [[Revive]] that [[Recurring item|respawns daily]] can be found at the same location, though the port is combined into [[Vermilion City]] in these games and therefore can be picked up at any time once their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} has learned [[Secret Technique|Sea Skim]].

=== Celadon Condominiums ===
In {{game|Crystal}} only, at the top of the [[Celadon Condominiums]], there is a wall located just next to the right staircase that the {{player}} can interact with. Doing so yields the following text: "''There's {{wp|graffiti}} on the wall... <Player> added a moustache!''".

===Diamond dust===
{{split|{{redlink|Diamond dust}}}}
[[File:Diamond Dust IV.png|thumb|Diamond dust in Snowpoint]]
[[File:BDSP Diamond Dust.png|thumb|Diamond dust in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
[[File:SV Diamond Dust.png|thumb|Diamond dust in Scarlet and Violet]]
'''{{wp|Diamond dust}}''' (Japanese: '''ダイヤモンドダスト''' ''diamond dust'') is a special variation of {{weather|Hail|snow}} that has appeared in select locations and at select times in [[core series]] games since [[Generation IV]]. Diamond dust has no effect in battle, but since it replaces the usual weather, it allows one to battle without hail in areas where there is usually hail, such as [[Mt. Silver Cave]]'s peak for the battle against Red.

On January 10, 2008, Director [[Junichi Masuda]] [[:n:Masuda: 'Please play Pokémon Diamond/Pearl on Jan. 12'|announced]] on his blog that fans should play {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} on January 12, his birthday, for a surprise. The surprise was discovered to be sparkling diamond dust falling in [[Snowpoint City]] instead of the normal, light snow.

Below are the known dates and locations that diamond dust occurs in the Pokémon games. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] diamond dust can only be randomly encountered at a 1.04% rate every 1-2 minutes in [[Glaseado Mountain]] (and surrounding areas like [[Dalizapa Passage]]) and 2.95% rate every 2-5 minutes in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Polar Biome]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1825318507682160707</ref>

Diamond dust was seen falling in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]] in ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness!]]''. [[Ann]] had asked the staff to recreate it so that [[Liko]] could see it.

===Secret wallpaper===
[[File:Secret wallpaper.png|thumb|Team Galactic Wallpaper]]
In {{game|Emerald}}, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are secret [[wallpaper|wallpapers]] for the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that can only be unlocked via outside resources. A special phrase must be entered in-game to unlock these wallpapers, with the phrase depending on the player's [[Trainer ID number|ID number]]. Online generators at places like [[Filb.de]] can be used to obtain these phrases.

In Pokémon Emerald, the player may speak to the father of a sick girl named [[Walda]] in [[Rustboro City]] to obtain a "Friends" wallpaper by telling him a word that will make Walda laugh. It is possible to unlock a variety of wallpapers, with different combinations of background and patterns and colors, by telling the father different words, but only one Friends wallpaper may be unlocked at a time.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, eight wallpapers can be unlocked. Unlike in Emerald, all eight wallpapers can be unlocked at the same time, each requiring its own unique phrase. These wallpapers differ between the Diamond and Pearl, Platinum, and HeartGold and SoulSilver games. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the player may speak to a TV producer at [[Jubilife TV]] to unlock the wallpapers. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player may speak to [[Primo]] in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]] to unlock them.

==In the side series games ==
In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, when the player uses the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} from a connected game of {{game|Yellow}}, this Pikachu is [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]] and has unique sound effects. Similarly, if a Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} that knows {{m|Surf}} is used, it will have a unique attack animation. This animation also occurs in {{Pokémon XD}} and {{g|Battle Revolution}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros.===
[[File:Pokémon Stadium 2 cat SSBB.png|thumb|250px|The hidden cat]]
An Easter egg can be found in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] while the player is playing in the {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}} stage when the stage is in Ice Mode. If the player angles the camera and looks through the window of the cabin that Snorunt is in, a poster of a pet cat can be seen on the wall. The cat was rumored to belong to the game's director, Masahiro Sakurai, but he later stated that this was false.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/509401397733761025</ref>

===Pokémon Play It!===
In [[Pokémon Play It!]], only two decks are normally available: the {{TCG|Fighting Deck}} and the {{TCG|Water Deck}}. If the player types "FIRE", two additional decks become available as well: the {{TCG|Fire Deck}} and the {{TCG|Xtra Deck}}. The additional decks are simply unlocked with no feedback or confirmation. From this point onward, they appear at the list of available decks whenever the player starts a new game. However, when the player closes the game application or accesses the "Extra" option (which also closes the game application and opens a separate application), the additional decks become unavailable as before. Whenever the player opens the game, they will have to type "FIRE" if they wish to use the additional decks.

Specifically, this shortcut works at any point during the main game, at the main menu or any the "Learn" options; it does not work during the initial cinematics or if the player chooses the "Extra" option (which closes the game as stated above). If the player types "FIRE" when the list of available decks is displayed with only the two initial decks, the code works as usual but the list of decks will not be updated until the player starts a new game (without closing the game application).

==Peripherals ==
Within the coding of the Mobile Trainer cartridge (the main [[Game Pak]] packaged with the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]]) is a reference to an alleged 'game' called "Pokémon Moss" (Japanese: ポケットモンスター苔). The same reading with different kanji (虚仮) can also be interpreted as "Pokémon Fool", hence it is possible this was simply a joke by the developers to trick the fanbase.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170720011714/https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7509.msg200525#msg200525 Háčky (Glitch City Laboratories Forums)]</ref>

==Plot==
[[Liko]] and her Pokémon are having breakfast in the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria|cafeteria]] when [[Ann]] arrives with a suggestion they go look for {{p|Ditto}} Blocks for a [[Blueberry Quest]]. Liko agrees to the idea, wanting to find a training opponent for {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}. However, after seeing {{p|Hattrem}} give up her food to Charcadet and her {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s attention to {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, Ann frowns at the {{pkmn|category|Serene Pokémon}}'s consideration. Later, as Ann explains how hunting for Ditto Blocks work, Liko ends up finding one and Charcadet is fired up to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Meowscarada uses her flower stem to stop the Pokémon from escaping, but Hattrem pleads for the Magician Pokémon to let it go. Afterwards, the group splits up to find more Ditto Blocks around the [[Terarium]], with a {{shiny}} one being found by Meowscarada with Hattrem's help. Ann then proposes her {{p|Samurott}} as an opponent for Charcadet, leading to a battle where Liko thinks about how to help the Fire Child Pokémon improve. After some rounds, Ann asks for a break and Liko decides to ask Hattrem to assist her with making [[sandwich]]es. However, Meowscarada also enlists Hattrem's help in reining in their teammate, who still wants to battle, which the latter is all too happy to do. Before she goes, Liko tells Hattrem to do what makes her happy so that she would stop holding back, but Ann is bothered greatly by Liko's words.
[[File:Liko Charcadet Hatterene Meowscarada.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowscarada and Charcadet admiring Hatterene]]
While the Pokémon battle and the girls make sandwiches, Ann reveals since she is the middle child in her family, people often thought she doesn't get to do what she wants, much like how Liko assumed was the case with Hattrem earlier. She says it is not the case as she would do anything to make her siblings happy because she loves them, making Liko realize she had misunderstood Hattrem. Ann calls over Hattrem for Liko, and the Serene Pokémon helps her to make sandwiches as planned. As they were eating, Liko tells her partner how she feels. Ever since [[HZ021|they met]] when she was a {{p|Hatenna}}, Liko had been worried about her, but the latter had always found a way to make someone happy because she sensed their feelings until now. Liko is apologetic for not realizing it sooner, but expresses her own happiness at having Hattrem with her, causing the Pokémon to shed tears of happiness of her own before sharing a hug with her Trainer. Overwhelmed with happiness, Hattrem unexpectedly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}}.

[[File:Liko and Ann party HZ118.png|250px|thumb|Liko, Ann, and their Pokémon watching the diamond dust]]
Everyone enjoys the sandwiches while the girls talk about Hatterene, with Liko finding out more about her on the [[Pokédex]]. Hatterene returns with three Ditto Blocks hidden under her hair, to Liko's surprise as she didn't notice her leaving. This motivates Ann to try harder in finding Ditto Blocks and she leaves Liko to search for them. Liko tries to rally her Pokémon, but a Ditto that Hatterene caught earlier wanders into a cave, prompting the group to follow it. A cry from inside makes the group rush to Ditto's aid as {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Tynamo}} and {{p|Eelektrik}} close in on the Transform Pokémon. Charcadet steps up to the plate and Liko has it use {{m|Ember}} to negate an attack from an Eelektrik. Meowscarada and Hatterene support their teammate by warning the Fire Child Pokémon when many Tynamo try to sneak an attack from behind. In the process, Liko observes how Charcadet's firing speed has increased, allowing it to use Ember in rapid succession and defeat all the wild Pokémon inside the cave. Meowscarada also manages to rescue Ditto with her flower stem and gives it to Hatterene to comfort it. Before they could escape though, a wild {{p|Eelektross}} shows up and blocks their exit. Liko is worried about getting through, but Hatterene decides to confront the EleFish Pokémon. She intimidates Eelektross with her aura before attacking it with her newly learned {{m|Psycho Cut}} and healing it with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Her repeated actions intimidate Eelektross even more and, out of fear, it allows Liko's group to exit the cave, where Ann is waiting.

Ann notes how possessive Meowscarada and Hatterene are of Liko now and refuses to back down, revealing she has a surprise for her close friend. From above, small specks of light fall, and Ann explains it is called {{wp|diamond dust}} and that she had asked them to recreate it so that Liko could see it. Having seen Liko hide her concerns before, Ann was worried but she feels Liko is fine now that she's surrounded by [[Rising Volt Tacklers|people]] and Pokémon who love her, with Ann saying that she loves Liko more than anyone else does. The next morning, [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] tell Liko about [[Briar]] finally finishing her research on [[Pagogo]], making the group curious as to what she found out.

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed in by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the appliances ordered from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it has not possessed any appliance or is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, it is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}, and learns {{m|Thunder Shock}} if the move it had in its other forms is the only one it knows.
* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In [[Pokémon Pokopia]], a Rotom known as [[DJ Rotom]] possesses a mini {{wp|boombox|stereo system}} and becomes '''Stereo Rotom''', which is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}}.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]], which can also be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals, and [[Drone Rotom]].

==Biology==
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body made of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom's base form is actually inhabiting a light bulb.

Rotom has the ability to enter and control electronic appliances. It typically uses its abilities to cause mischief, often using the household items it possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom]] and [[DJ Rotom|Rotom Stereo]] are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', [[Rotom Pokédex (anime)|Rotom]] was shown possessing a [[Pokémon Center]] building. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom is highly intelligent. It tends to reside in abandoned buildings. It lacks any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref> Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel|send people through time]] by possessing an elevator.

===Forms===
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|200px|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom transforming]]
</div>
Rotom has five alternate forms: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom.

Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor. When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes. In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom existed in [[Hisui]] and was also documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]], apparently as a result to [[Space-time distortion]]s.

====Heat Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Heat Rotom by possessing a convection {{wp|microwave oven}}. Its appendages turn into oven mittens, and its eyes and aura become red. It has an aptitude for manipulating flames, which it uses for mischievous purposes, such as happily scorching the surrounding are or burning people's favorite outfits. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====Wash Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Wash Rotom by inhabiting a {{wp|washing machine}}. Its appendages turn into clothespins, and its eyes and aura become blue. The washing machine model it possess has been discontinued, leading people to sell them at high prices. It enjoys playing water-based pranks, such as spraying cold water everywhere or flooding people's rooms, and blasts enemies with water to intimidate them and incite them to retreat.

====Frost Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Frost Rotom by taking control of a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its appendages are shaped like lightning bolts, and its eyes and aura become purple. It fights by spewing cold air, which it gleefully uses for practical jokes like freezing people's baths or its surroundings. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to Rotom's ability to change forms.

====Fan Rotom====

It can stir up powerful gusts of wind to blow away opponents, which it applies to its love for pranks by blowing away everything around it, such as important documents it finds.

====Mow Rotom====
Rotom turns into Mow Rotom by possessing a {{wp|lawn mower|lawn mower}}. Its appendages turn into a ripped strip, and its eyes and aura become green. focuses its antics on plants. As it mows down grass, it scatters the clippings everywhere and destroys flowers and trees. The lawn mower Mow Rotom possesses led to the development of the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} appears in the bottom screen]]
* These notable Trainers own a Rotom:
** [[Colress]] uses a Wash Rotom in his post-game matches in {{B2W2}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}} uses a Rotom in his post-game rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. This Rotom's form changes based on the [[first partner Pokémon]] chosen by the {{player}}.
** [[Cyrus]] uses a Heat Rotom in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.
* Multiple devices house a Rotom for functionality across multiple games:
** [[Alola]]'s own [[Pokédex]], known as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], contains a Rotom. The Rotom itself, who can speak, is a minor character who often provides information and advice to the player throughout the story of {{game4|7}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Rotom provides additional gameplay elements and buffs through the {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}}.
** The [[Rotom Phone]] appears in the [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]-based games, as well as {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It serves a similar function to Rotom Pokédex, mainly through the Pokédex app, but is less present than its predecessor.
** In addition to the Rotom Phone, Galar also has [[Rotomi]] and [[Rotom Drone]]s as set pieces for the [[PC]] and Gym Stadiums. The Rotom Phone can be attatched to the [[Rotom Bike]] for travel purposes.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Rotom is the leader of the [[Haunted Zone]]. He's in charge of {{DL|Attraction (PokéPark)|Rotom's Spooky Shoot-'em-Up}}.
* [[Pokémon UNITE]]: Rotom appears as a wild Pokémon on [[Remoat Stadium]]. When defeated, it advances towards the opposing team's goal zone.

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the special moves appear through the move reminder following the form change. Heat, Wash, and Frost Rotom can also learn their respective special moves via TM.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

* In Pokémon Platinum and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{kal|Pokémon Research Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it remains in its appliance form.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom's appliance forms are not present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, they are a permanent form difference, with each form being a separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s type in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Rotom uses [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]] as its battle theme, even though Rotom is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type. In ''[[Pokémon Pokopia]]'', Stereo Rotom is Electric/{{type|Normal}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's forms can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon,
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}},
** one of the only Ice-type Pokémon, the others being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Many of its Pokédex entries are reminiscent of {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] specifically calls it a "{{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} powered by electricity"; will-o'-the-wisps are typically ghost-like lights that inhabit marshes. Usually will-o'-the-wisps appear as balls of fire, another form of {{wp|Plasma (physics)|plasma}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}".


Each of Rotom's forms appears as an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular and most common form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, as listed in the [[Rotom Catalog]]. The other forms directly possess a household object:
* Heat Rotom possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, with its arms also resembling the rounded hands of {{wp|oven mitt}}s, cooking wear to take out hot foods from an {{wp|oven}}.
* Wash Rotom possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, with its arms resembling a pair of {{wp|clothespin}}s, a type of peg used to hold up wet clothes to dry.
* Frost Rotom possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its lower drawer resembling a freezer. While its arms resemble that of lightning bolts, they could also be a depiction of fractured ice.
* Fan Rotom possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, particularly a desk or table fan. Its arms resemble a cartoonish depiction on gusts of wind.
* Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}. Its rounded face and wheels makes the species resemble a reel mower with a bag used for storing grass attached to its back. Its teeth and arms become pointed, bringing to mind the {{wp|saw}} or blade of a lawn mower.

Among its other forms, the [[Rotom Bike]] resembles an {{wp|electric bicycle}}, a type of bike that use an electric motor. The Rotom Bike's Water Mode may be based on the concept of a {{wp|Pedalo|paddle boat}}, sometimes called a water bike, that is used to traverse water by pedaling. The [[Rotom Dex]], [[Rotom Phone]] and [[Rotomi]] may be based on {{wp|virtual assistant}}s or forms of {{wp|artificial intelligence}} used to assist the usage of electric devices and software.

====Name origin====
Rotom is derived from ''{{wp|motor}}'' spelled backwards.

In-universe, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] of {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

Roserade57: /* Move page to Battle Zone (Sinnoh) */

==Name==
Does this island have a name? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's the Bird Keeper on {{rt|225}} who refers to it as such-- she couldn't have just meant that little area of the route with three trainers. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I know this is a year later, but the sailor who runs the boat between Snowpoint and the Fight Area refers to it as the Battle Zone too.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 18:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

And a year and a half on another answer comes: a Ranger on route 228 says so too. {{unsigned|Camzoman}}

== Routes colouration ==

I was wondering why every route in the Battle Zone didn't have the route coloured in/highlighted on the map like all other routes did. {{unsigned|Blackjack}}

==Region==
We consider the Battle Zone a subregion of [[Sinnoh]] at the moment. Is there any evidence to support this? In the [[Fight Area]], a Battle Girl says "Your Pokémon are from Sinnoh aren't they? They're not what we're used to seeing around here." implying that it is not part of the Sinnoh region. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:39, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

== Russia ==

Shouldn't the Battle Zone be technically considered the Russia pokemon region because Sakhalin is owned by Russia

== Move page to Battle Zone (Sinnoh) ==

There is an area of Lumiose City called [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|Battle zones]] in Pokemon Legends Z-A, so I think this page should be moved to Battle Zone (Sinnoh). Even if the capitalization is different, the two could still easily be confused, so I think this page should become a disambiguation page for this page and the Battle zone (Lumiose City) page. [[User:Abkwreu|Abkwreu]] ([[User talk:Abkwreu|talk]]) 02:47, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

:'''Support.''' [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
::Actually, want to qualify this. While I agree this page should be moved, I'm not sure if a disambiguation page is ideal. I'd rather "Battle zone" continue to redirect here (as the older, legacy article), with a hatnote leading people to the Z-A battle zones. I could see a case for wanting to change the search to target the newer, more relevant topic though, so I'd be happy to hear what others think. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 14:09, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
:::I believe a disambiguation is the way to go here. For the foreseeable future, the Lumiose article would be the one the majority of people would be looking for, while ten years in the future it might be the other way around again.
:::(Also, I'm wondering: If you believe "Battle Zone" should lead to this article about Sinnoh's Battle Zone anyway, why would you still want to move the article?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:39, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
::::Fair point. I wasn't thinking clearly. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
:'''Oppose.''' Because the Battle Zone being part of Sinnoh is fanwank. That's stated nowhere in the games or official material as far as I know. In fact the NPCs treat it as separate from it, and its real world counterpart is part of Russia, not Hokkaido or even Japan. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 04:00, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
::I'm afraid I have to correct that. It's confirmed to be part of Sinnoh across official media, as supported by the article's references. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:34, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:::But yeah it is a bit inconsistent. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:36, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
{{indent}}To refocus, based on some points made during [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/206616744180056065/1375070974898212904 a discussion in the Discord server], I'm thinking this page should be moved to "Battle Zone (Sinnoh)" and the Lumiose page should be moved to "Battle zone" with a hatnote leading to the Sinnoh page. This puts the focus on the major Z-A mechanic as the primary topic, with this more general article covering various post-game areas still accessible via the link at the top of the page. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 16:50, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
:On the other hand, "Battle Zone" is mentioned by various NPC characters in BDSP, including when you first arrive on the island (and don't really know what it is - remember, you're initially blocked from going anywhere but the [[Fight Area]]<s>, and this is an area that wasn't in the original DP</s>). I imagine a majority of curious BDSP players would search "Battle Zone" here. I doubt it'd be a "visit from elsewhere only" kind of page. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:06, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
::Well, and to your point, an additional consideration is that this is the legacy target for this search. So people used to finding this page when searching "Battle Zone" may be a little surprised to have that search suddenly change to a different topic. External links to this page from other sites would also then lead to a different page. These probably aren't ''major'' factors—the primary topic should still take precedent, but it seems there isn't a consensus here on which topic that would be, so I could understand not wanting to upset the status quo at this time. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 20:47, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Unless I'm mistaken, I believe there ''is'' consensus to move this page either way, and we're just discussing whether [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)]] should be moved to just "Battle zone" (or whether that should be a disambiguation between the two). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:17, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Apologies if I wasn't clear but that is essentially what I was saying, yes. If the Sinnoh page is the primary topic, both pages should stay as-is. If the Lumiose page is the primary topic, then both pages should be moved to reflect that. If both pages are just about equally important, then a disambiguation page, such as we do with [[Poison]], may be necessary. Though I'd still prefer to avoid the final option, if possible, but I understand if it can't be helped. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::Something being a "legacy topic" isn't an argument that holds much water in my opinion. The brand changes and evolves as time goes on, and it's valid to adapt to that. I think if someone who is used to this page being the primary topic suddenly reaches a different topic on this page that includes a hatnote explaining what is going on, any reasonable person would understand and be okay with it. A resonable solution at this time would be to prioritize the recent topic (aka, the one that will have the most relevance with a new game coming out; one that could very well sell more than BDSP), and then re-assess later if that needs to change. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 02:49, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::Right, but I likewise don't feel that relevancy should be much of a factor either. The Lumiose City mechanic would be the primary topic here not because it is recent, relevant, or popular, but because it is a major game mechanic that will be core to a main series title's gameplay, as opposed to the Sinnoh topic, which is a subregion hosting a collection of ''post-game'' areas. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 03:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::::Relevancy is mostly important as a meta reason because we're a website that covers breaking topics, so we need to have breaking information that people want to read readily available. Not that it's an ideal reason, but that convenience trumps out all consideration as a legacy topic, in my opinion. We want our website to be easy to use, after all.
:::::::Another flag in favor of Lumiose City battle zones being the primary topic is that Legends ZA will almost surely sell more copies that BDSP (which only just barely surpassed Legends Arceus), so there will literally be more people in the world encountering the Lumiose City topic than there are people encountering the Sinnoh topic, so we should prioritize that instead. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 03:26, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
{{indent}}Sanity check, but now that the game has been out for a bit, do we still think it's sound to move this page to "Battle Zone (Sinnoh)" and move the ZA topic to "Battle zone"? Seems reasonable to me, fwiw. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:00, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:Personally im not sure that we should be prioritizing any article. I see 2 options:
:* 1: We move this and throw a disambig on "Battle Zone"
:* 2: We move the Lumiose one to "Battle zone" (which would be supported since they have different capitalizations) and have hat notes to either going back and forth. This would remove the need for disambigs.
:Personally i'd rather have 2 but either is a viable option. I think we have to look at this also from the perspective of "in 5 years, when neither Z-A or Sinnoh are the new games on the block which will be the more sought topic" and I'm not sure thats a distinction we can currently assess. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 13:18, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:I'm really not sure that the Z-A feature is definitively the primary topic over the Sinnoh location. I think there's a reasonable argument that the two topics are equally relevant (and so this page should be moved and "Battle Zone" should become disambig), but I really don't see the Z-A feature meriting the primary page title.
:Personally, I strongly dislike having pages that differ only by capitalization, as it makes navigating to them via search unintuitive (in the sense that it's not obvious to readers which page searching "BATTLE ZONE" would lead to, for example). I would rather just use dabtags than rely on capitalization to distinguish page titles. [[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:27, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
::Also, while "battle zone" is the capitalization used in sentences in Z-A, there are several cases where it ends up being presented as "Battle Zone" due to being in a title case context. And the pop-up text that players are most likely to see presents "BATTLE ZONE" in ALLCAPS. So I don't think it's reasonable to expect readers to know the exact capitalization of the term (even other fansites seem to be erroneously capitalizing the Z-A feature as "Battle Zone"). [[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:34, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:::If there's no clear primary topic, then "Battle Zone (Sinnoh)" and "Battle zone (Lumiose City)" works, yeah. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:57, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
::::Though I keep forgetting that would necessitate a disambig page, which I still don't love. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 12:41, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::I don't think there's a need to shy away from disambigs where they make sense. I think if we want to avoid the disambig though, I think we would have to do option 1. (though there are search implications to that which SnorlaxMonster outlined). '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 21:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
:'''Oppose.''' - theyre inconsistent if this is part of sinnoh or not, sometimes it is abd sometimes it isnt.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 18:43, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed in by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the appliances ordered from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it has not possessed any appliance or is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, it is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}, and learns {{m|Thunder Shock}} if the move it had in its other forms is the only one it knows.
* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]], which can also be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals, and [[Drone Rotom]].

==Biology==
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body made of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom's base form is actually inhabiting a light bulb.

Rotom has the ability to enter and control electronic appliances. It typically uses its abilities to cause mischief, often using the household items it possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom]] and [[DJ Rotom|Rotom Stereo]] are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', [[Rotom Pokédex (anime)|Rotom]] was shown possessing a [[Pokémon Center]] building. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom is highly intelligent. It tends to reside in abandoned buildings. It lacks any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref> Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel|send people through time]] by possessing an elevator.

===Forms===
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|200px|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom transforming]]
</div>
Rotom has five alternate forms: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom.

Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor. When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes. In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom existed in [[Hisui]] and was also documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]], apparently as a result to [[Space-time distortion]]s.

====Heat Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Heat Rotom by possessing a convection {{wp|microwave oven}}. Its appendages turn into oven mittens, and its eyes and aura become red. It has an aptitude for manipulating flames, which it uses for mischievous purposes, such as happily scorching the surrounding are or burning people's favorite outfits. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====Wash Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Wash Rotom by inhabiting a {{wp|washing machine}}. Its appendages turn into clothespins, and its eyes and aura become blue. The washing machine model it possess has been discontinued, leading people to sell them at high prices. It enjoys playing water-based pranks, such as spraying cold water everywhere or flooding people's rooms, and blasts enemies with water to intimidate them and incite them to retreat.

====Frost Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Frost Rotom by taking control of a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its appendages are shaped like lightning bolts, and its eyes and aura become purple. It fights by spewing cold air, which it gleefully uses for practical jokes like freezing people's baths or its surroundings. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to Rotom's ability to change forms.

====Fan Rotom====
Rotom turns into Fan Rotom by taking over an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}. Its appendages turn into air curls, and its eyes and aura become yellow. It can stir up powerful gusts of wind to blow away opponents, which it applies to its love for pranks by blowing away everything around it, such as important documents it finds. The electric fan that Fan Rotom inhabits was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it.

====Mow Rotom====
Rotom turns into Mow Rotom by possessing a {{wp|lawn mower|lawn mower}}. Its appendages turn into a ripped strip, and its eyes and aura become green. focuses its antics on plants. As it mows down grass, it scatters the clippings everywhere and destroys flowers and trees. The lawn mower Mow Rotom possesses led to the development of the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} appears in the bottom screen]]
* These notable Trainers own a Rotom:
** [[Colress]] uses a Wash Rotom in his post-game matches in {{B2W2}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}} uses a Rotom in his post-game rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. This Rotom's form changes based on the [[first partner Pokémon]] chosen by the {{player}}.
** [[Cyrus]] uses a Heat Rotom in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.
* Multiple devices house a Rotom for functionality across multiple games:
** [[Alola]]'s own [[Pokédex]], known as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], contains a Rotom. The Rotom itself, who can speak, is a minor character who often provides information and advice to the player throughout the story of {{game4|7}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Rotom provides additional gameplay elements and buffs through the {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}}.
** The [[Rotom Phone]] appears in the [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]-based games, as well as {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It serves a similar function to Rotom Pokédex, mainly through the Pokédex app, but is less present than its predecessor.
** In addition to the Rotom Phone, Galar also has [[Rotomi]] and [[Rotom Drone]]s as set pieces for the [[PC]] and Gym Stadiums. The Rotom Phone can be attatched to the [[Rotom Bike]] for travel purposes.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Rotom is the leader of the [[Haunted Zone]]. He's in charge of {{DL|Attraction (PokéPark)|Rotom's Spooky Shoot-'em-Up}}.
* [[Pokémon UNITE]]: Rotom appears as a wild Pokémon on [[Remoat Stadium]]. When defeated, it advances towards the opposing team's goal zone.

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the special moves appear through the move reminder following the form change. Heat, Wash, and Frost Rotom can also learn their respective special moves via TM.

===Form data===
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|home appliance|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
* When Rotom is not possessing any appliance (prior to Generation VIII) or possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}} (starting in [[Generation VIII]] except in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
* Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
* Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
* Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
* Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
* Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

* In Pokémon Platinum and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{kal|Pokémon Research Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it remains in its appliance form.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom's appliance forms are not present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, they are a permanent form difference, with each form being a separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s type in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Rotom uses [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]] as its battle theme, even though Rotom is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type. In ''[[Pokémon Pokopia]]'', Stereo Rotom is Electric/{{type|Normal}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's forms can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon,
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}},
** one of the only Ice-type Pokémon, the others being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Many of its Pokédex entries are reminiscent of {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] specifically calls it a "{{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} powered by electricity"; will-o'-the-wisps are typically ghost-like lights that inhabit marshes. Usually will-o'-the-wisps appear as balls of fire, another form of {{wp|Plasma (physics)|plasma}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}".


Each of Rotom's forms appears as an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular and most common form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, as listed in the [[Rotom Catalog]]. The other forms directly possess a household object:
* Heat Rotom possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, with its arms also resembling the rounded hands of {{wp|oven mitt}}s, cooking wear to take out hot foods from an {{wp|oven}}.
* Wash Rotom possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, with its arms resembling a pair of {{wp|clothespin}}s, a type of peg used to hold up wet clothes to dry.
* Frost Rotom possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its lower drawer resembling a freezer. While its arms resemble that of lightning bolts, they could also be a depiction of fractured ice.
* Fan Rotom possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, particularly a desk or table fan. Its arms resemble a cartoonish depiction on gusts of wind.
* Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}. Its rounded face and wheels makes the species resemble a reel mower with a bag used for storing grass attached to its back. Its teeth and arms become pointed, bringing to mind the {{wp|saw}} or blade of a lawn mower.

Among its other forms, the [[Rotom Bike]] resembles an {{wp|electric bicycle}}, a type of bike that use an electric motor. The Rotom Bike's Water Mode may be based on the concept of a {{wp|Pedalo|paddle boat}}, sometimes called a water bike, that is used to traverse water by pedaling. The [[Rotom Dex]], [[Rotom Phone]] and [[Rotomi]] may be based on {{wp|virtual assistant}}s or forms of {{wp|artificial intelligence}} used to assist the usage of electric devices and software.

====Name origin====
Rotom is derived from ''{{wp|motor}}'' spelled backwards.

In-universe, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] of {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

Autumn (DP062)

Roserade57: /* Trivia */

[[File:Autumn DP062.png|thumb|250px|Autumn]]

'''Autumn''' (Japanese: '''アキ''' ''Aki'') is one of the [[Café Cabin|Maid Café]] sisters and a [[character of the day]] who appeared in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. She seems to have a crush on {{an|Brock}}. Unfortunately, Brock is more interested in her older sisters, {{OBP|Spring and Summer|DP062}}.

Because of her clumsiness, Autumn initially had trouble developing a [[friendship|bond]] with her {{p|Miltank}} named Ilta. She was convinced that she would never get to know Ilta and wanted to release her. However, Brock convinced Autumn to let him teach her how to grow closer to her Pokémon. A lot of the training didn't work, but when she jumped in the way to protect Ilta from a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}, Ilta realized that Autumn cared for her and began listening to her instructions.

She reappeared in the ending credits montage of ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''.

Ilta's known moves are {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Rollout}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Autumn is one of the few females who have fallen in love with Brock.
* Autumn's Japanese name Aki means ''autumn'' in Japanese.
* Autumn's English voice actress, [[Kether Donohue]], also voices {{wp|Pudding Fong|Kikki Benjamin}} of the anime ''{{wp|Tokyo Mew Mew|Mew Mew Power}}''. Like Autumn, she also works at a café. Additionally, she voiced {{wp|Skuld}} in the anime ''{{wp|Oh My Goddess!}}'', who was also the youngest of three sisters.
* Ilta's English and Japanese names are derived from her species names. M'''ilta'''nk and ミ'''ルタン'''ク.
** In addition, "Ilta" is actually a {{wp|Finnish}} name meaning either evening or night, which could be considered the diurnal equivalent of autumn.

Roserade57: /* kanto */

==Name Origin==
The Pretty Cure franchise also had a protagonist named Riko/Liko 7 years ago, and the wiki fandom page in fandom put this as the origin of the name
"Riko (リコ?) has no meaning in katakana but in kanji, it has two meanings. It can mean 'jasmine child' with the kanji 莉子 or 'truthful child' with 理子. It also resembles 利口な (rikou na), which is Japanese for "smart"", I think in the case of Pokemon Horizon means Jasmine child, because Most of the characters in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, except for the main characters, the japanese name are plant-based names. --[[User:Legarad87|Legarad87]] ([[User talk:Legarad87|talk]]) 22:01, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

[[HZ018]] makes it pretty clear she was born in kanto and moved to paldea at like age 3 or something[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 03:13, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

::You’re making a lot of assumptions. Lucca being from Kanto doesn’t mean Liko was born there. Also, Liko explicitly states she has never been to Kanto in the first episode. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:03, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
:::lucca literally says she only went to paldea after having a kid. is this dub only or something? episode 18 outright says she was born in kanto[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 01:47, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
::::No? I checked both the dub and the original. She specifically states in both versions she moved after marrying. You’re going to need to provide some kind of visual proof (like a screenshot) to back up your argument. I can’t keep going back to check the episode each time. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:23, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
:::::moved after marrying, which is also after she had a kid. so therefore, she was in kanto, had a kid, got married, then moved to paldea. what you said supports my point.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 19:33, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

'''Appletun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タルップル''' ''Tarupple'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Applin}} when exposed to a [[Sweet Apple]]. It is one of Applin's three branched Evolutions, the others being {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Dipplin}} (which evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}}).

Appletun has a [[Gigantamax]] form which is identical in appearance to Gigantamax Flapple. It can Gigantamax into '''Gigantamax Appletun''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
[[File:842Appletun Dream 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Appletun's eyes]]
Appletun is a dragon-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is reminiscent of apple pie. It is mostly green with a yellow underside and lower jaw, and it has an orange spot on its chest that resembles an apple core.<ref>[https://www.models-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonswordshield/model/32675/ Appletun's model], ripped from ''Pokémon Sword and Shield''.</ref> It has a piece of an apple on its head worn as a helmet. Its leaf-like eyestalks usually droop down from under the apple helmet as though they were ears, but may be lifted up to reveal small beady eyes. It has black slits for nostrils on the tip of its muzzle. It has a large hump on its back with several overlapping stripes that resemble an apple pie's crust on top, along with a pair of red and green leaves. It has four short, bulky legs with paws, and a stout tail.

Appletun's body is caked in sweet nectar, whose smell attracts {{type|Bug}} Pokémon which Appletun preys on. However, Appletun's primary diet is sweet apples. In order to ward off other Pokémon such as {{p|Lechonk}} from licking the nectar on its back, Appletun can spew a sticky nectar. The skin on its back is said to be tasty, and children used to eat it as a snack.

Appletun is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Apple Acid}}. Appletun, {{p|Flapple}}, and their pre-Evolution {{p|Applin}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Appletun has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Appletun's body changes, becoming larger and stouter. A giant apple engulfs most of its body, leaving only its head, neck and tail exposed. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has a piece of the apple covering its head, with yellow carvings on it resembling nostrils. Its cheeks are rounded and it hangs its mouth open, letting its red tongue loll out. Its neck becomes taller and stretches upwards, while its tail becomes elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. Three red clouds float around its neck. Gigantamax Appletun and Flapple are physically identical.

The sweet nectar that covers Appletun's body overflows from the top of its apple after Gigantamaxing, and it increases in thickness as well, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal. Gigantamax Appletun can shoot out massive amounts of nectar, enough to drown its opponents.

Gigantamax Appletun is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Sweetness}}.

==Trivia==
* Appletun and {{p|Flapple}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to have physically identical [[Gigantamax]] forms, although they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries, [[G-Max Move]]s, and cries.
** This is also the only instance of two different species of Pokémon that can be physically identical without the use of {{m|Transform}}, {{a|Imposter}}, or {{a|Illusion}}.
* Appletun and its evolutionary line:
** are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Despite requiring the [[Sweet Apple]] to evolve from {{p|Applin}}, Appletun's [[signature move]], {{m|Apple Acid}}, specifies it uses [[Tart Apple|tart apple]]s to attack.

===Origin===
Appletun, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. Visually, Appletun is similar to reptiles such as {{wp|tortoise}}s, while its back resembles desserts like the {{wp|apple pie}} or the {{wp|apple turnover}}. Appletun may also be based on the tale of {{wp|Bel and the Dragon}}, about a dragon that bursts open after being fed a cake.

Appletun's Gigantamax form appears to be based on a {{wp|caramel apple}}, a {{wp|candy apple}} or a {{wp|baked apple}}. Appletun and Flapple having identical Gigantamax forms may be a reference to {{wp|convergent evolution}}, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing identical characteristics and body plans.

====Name origin====
Appletun may be derived from ''apple'', ''Appleton'' (a {{wp|toponym}} denoting a place where apples grow), ''{{wp|ton}}'' (unit of weight, referencing its bulk), ''{{wp|apple turnover}}'', and ''under''.

Tarupple may be a combination of ''{{wp|tart}}'', 怠い ''tarui'' (sluggish), たっぷり ''tappuri'' (onomatopoetic word for plenty), and ''apple''.

'''Flapple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アップリュー''' ''Appryu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Applin}} when exposed to a [[Tart Apple]]. It is one of Applin's three branched Evolutions, the others being {{p|Appletun}} and {{p|Dipplin}} (which evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}}).

Flapple has a [[Gigantamax]] form that is identical in appearance to Gigantamax Appletun. It can Gigantamax into '''Gigantamax Flapple''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Closed Flapple.png|thumb|left|250px|Flapple closed like an apple]]
Flapple is a green, worm-like dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light green underside and yellow eyes. It uses parts of an apple to form its body. The top part of the apple sits on the top of its head, with a single horn sticking out; the bottom of the apple is attached to its tail; and the sides are attached to its limbs, which have three-fingered hands, allowing them to act as wings.

Flapple's cheeks store acid strong enough to induce chemical burns and corrode metal. It can attack by spitting this acid at its targets. It is also able to disguise itself as an apple by folding its wings. Flapple repairs the apple on its body by using its body fluid. Flapple with clay-colored apples are generally stronger than its peers, and have won many battles.

Flapple is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Grav Apple}}. Flapple, {{p|Appletun}}, and their pre-Evolution {{p|Applin}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Flapple has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Flapple's body changes, becoming larger and stouter. A giant apple engulfs most of its body, leaving only its head, neck and tail exposed. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has a piece of the apple covering its head, with yellow carvings on it resembling nostrils. Its cheeks are rounded and it hangs its mouth open, letting its red tongue loll out. Its neck becomes taller and stretches upwards, while its tail becomes elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. Three red clouds float around its neck. Gigantamax Flapple and Appletun are physically identical.

Gigantamax Flapple produces huge amounts of sweet nectar, which overflows from the top of its apple. The nectar's intense aroma pours out when it stretches its neck, and this aroma is so sweet it can cause other Pokémon to faint.

Gigantamax Flapple is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Tartness}}.

==Trivia==
* Flapple is the lightest {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to learn {{m|Heavy Slam}}.
* Flapple and {{p|Appletun}} are the only Pokémon to have physically identical [[Gigantamax]] forms, although they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries, [[G-Max Move]]s, and cries.
** This is also the only instance of two different species of Pokémon that can be physically identical without the use of {{m|Transform}}, {{a|Imposter}}, or {{a|Illusion}}.
* Flapple and its evolutionary line:
** are the only Pokémon that are in both the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.

===Origin===
Flapple, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. Flapple may also reference winged dragons such as the {{wp|wyvern}}, {{wp|amphiptere}}, or some depictions of the {{wp|Lindworm}}. Appearance wise, Flapple has visual similarities with lizards, such as the {{wp|gecko}}.

Given its flying apple motif and signature move, {{m|Grav Apple}}, Flapple could also be based on the tale of {{wp|Isaac Newton#Apple incident|Newton's apple}}. Popularized by {{wp|Voltaire}}, it claimed the English {{wp|Natural philosophy|natural philosopher}} Sir {{wp|Isaac Newton}} had the first thought of his system of gravity upon seeing an apple falling from a tree. This could also be the reason it learns {{m|Heavy Slam}}.

Flapple's Gigantamax form appears to be based on a {{wp|caramel apple}}, a {{wp|candy apple}} or a {{wp|baked apple}}, and its ability to make Pokémon faint due to its sweetness may be a reference to a {{wp|diabetic coma}}. Flapple and Appletun having identical Gigantamax forms may be a reference to {{wp|convergent evolution}}, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing identical characteristics and body plans.

====Name origin====
Flapple may be a combination of ''flap'' and ''apple''.

Appryu may be a combination of ''apple'' and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

'''Hydrapple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カミツオロチ''' ''Kamitsuorochi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dipplin}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}. It is one of {{p|Applin}}'s final forms, the others being {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}.

==Biology==
[[File:1019 Hydrapple Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Five of Hydrapple's syrpents emerge as heads, while the remaining two as tails]]
Hydrapple is a Pokémon composed of seven symbiotic creatures known as "syrpents" living within an apple-shaped structure completely made of red syrup.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/hydrapple/ Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Hydrapple]</ref> Each syrpent has green, leaf-shaped eyestalks with yellow eyes; a long green body with a pale yellow underbelly; and a tail tipped with leafy green ornaments.

Three of the seven syrpents are always visible outside of the syrup apple: the central syrpent, which is the dominant entity in the system, rises from the center of the apple;<ref name=SVsite/> and two of the syrpents' tails emerge from its rear. The central syrpent has the longest body and is further distinguished by its two horns. The left horn has an apple impaled on it, which appears to be the same apple that the Pokémon inhabited when it was an {{p|Applin}}. The four other syrpents composing Hydrapple are usually hidden within the syrup, with only the tops of their closed eyestalks visible from without. Sometimes, the four hidden syrpents emerge from the syrup so that five of Hydrapple's heads are visible. To move, Hydrapple's two tail syrpents work together to push its entire body across the ground.

The seven syrpents that form Hydrapple have inconstant and fickle temperaments, and rarely work together as a team. On the rare occasion that the syrpents' moods align, Hydrapple unleashes its full power.<ref name=SVsite/>

Hydrapple and its pre-Evolution {{p|Dipplin}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Syrup Bomb}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Supersweet Syrup}} as an [[Ability]]. Hydrapple is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Fickle Beam}}.

===Evolution===
Hydrapple evolves from {{p|Dipplin}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Applin}}.

==Trivia==
* Hydrapple is the only one of {{p|Applin}}'s evolutionary relatives to be a third-stage evolution.
** Hydrapple appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], despite none of its evolutionary relatives appearing in it, which also makes it the only member of Applin's evolutionary relatives with this distinction.
* Dipplin and Hydrapple are the only:
** Evolutionary relatives introduced within a single [[generation]] that are not next to each other in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] order, with Dipplin being number 1011 and Hydrapple being number 1019.
** {{type|Dragon}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
* Hydrapple and its evolutionary line:
** are the only Pokémon that are in both the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Hydrapple's existence was indicated before the release of [[The Indigo Disk]] by the fact that Dipplin could use the [[Eviolite]].
* Hydrapple is the only Pokémon that requires a [[TM]] to obtain, as Dipplin cannot learn {{m|Dragon Cheer}} without it.
* Hydrapple is the only one of Applin’s evolutionary relatives not to evolve with an Apple item.
* As [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] are exclusive to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Hydrapple is the only one of Applin's final forms to not have a Gigantamax form.

===Origin===
Hydrapple seems to be inspired by multiheaded serpent-like monsters from various myths, such as the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}, an eight-headed dragon or serpent from {{wp|Japanese mythology}}; {{wp|Hachirōgata|Hachirō-Tarō}} or {{jwp|八の太郎大蛇伝説|Hachi no Tarō no Daija}} (where ''daija'' is an alternative reading of ''orochi''), a similar creature in the local myths of Northern {{wp|Tōhoku region|Tōhoku}}, which [[Kitakami]] is based on; the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}, a many-headed serpentine monster from {{wp|Greek mythology}}; and {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}}, the multi-headed dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Hesperides|Garden of the Hesperides}}, historically said to be located in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}} or the {{wp|Canary Islands}}. The fact that the syrpents' moods rarely align may be a reference to the golden {{wp|Apple of Discord}}. Like its evolutionary relatives, Hydrapple also appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. It also has visual similarities with {{wp|candy apple}}s and the [[Gigantamax]] forms of {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}, while its {{Shiny}} coloration may be inspired by {{wp|caramel apple}}s or a {{wp|golden apple}}.

The connection between the syrpents and the apple present in Hydrapple's design could draw inspiration from the {{wp|Christian mythology|Christian myth}} of the {{wp|original sin}}, in which a {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|serpent}} tempts Eve into eating the {{wp|forbidden fruit}}, commonly represented as an {{wp|Apple (symbolism)|apple}} in {{wp|Western Christianity}} from a Latin-based pun on ''mālum'' (apple) and ''malum'' (evil). Along these lines, Hydrapple's seven syrpents could reference the number of {{wp|Seven deadly sins|cardinal sins}} or the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|seven-headed beast}} from the {{wp|Book of Revelation}}. Alternatively, these may reference the number of {{wp|Archon (Gnosticism)|archon}}s (including the {{wp|Demiurge|creator god}}) in {{wp|Gnosticism}}, commonly associated with the {{wp|Classical planet|seven luminaries}}, as well as the Gnostic depiction of {{wp|Leviathan}} as the world serpent. The physical world is considered intrinsically flawed and chaotic in Gnosticism. This may explain Hydrapple's signature move {{m|Fickle Beam}}, which is doubled in power when the seven syrpents are aligned at random.

Since Hydrapple was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], it may also be a visual pun on the {{wp|Big Apple}}, a nickname for {{wp|New York City}} (the location [[Unova]], where [[Blueberry Academy]] is located, is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]]).

====Name origin====
Hydrapple may be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|Hydra}}'', ''dragon'', and ''apple''. The term "syrpent" may be a combination of ''syrup'' or ''wyrm'' and ''serpent''.

Kamitsuorochi may be a combination of 果 ''ka'' (fruit), 花蜜 ''kamitsu'' (nectar), and 八岐大蛇 ''{{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}''.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flapple}} when exposed to a [[Tart Apple]], {{p|Appletun}} when exposed to a [[Sweet Apple]], or {{p|Dipplin}} when exposed to a [[Syrupy Apple]]. Dipplin evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}.

==Biology==
Applin is a small, worm-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light green body and a dark green underside. Its head is round with two pink nostrils. Above its head are two large leaf-like eyestalks which house its two small black eyes. These eyestalks give the apple it lives in the appearance of having a stem with leaves. Applin also has two thin hairs on the tip of its tail, as well as two stubby forelimbs which are usually hidden inside its apple.

Applin is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also one of the shortest {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. As soon as it is born, it burrows into an apple that looks like a [[Leppa Berry]], which serves as a home, food source, and protection against preying bird Pokémon. The apple is prevented from rotting thanks to Applin's body fluid, which also strengthens the fruit's rind. If Applin runs out of apples to eat or if it is separated from its apple, its body will lose moisture, and it will become dehydrated and weak.<ref>[https://wpes.pokemon.co.jp/en/ World Pokémon Ecological Society]: "When [Applin] runs [out] of... apple[s], it becomes dehydrated. That makes it weak, doesn't it?" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0jnUPj41oo Video archive])</ref> Since Applin hides inside an apple, it is sometimes mistaken by the frugivorous {{p|Noibat}} for food. In [[Galar]], it is a custom to give an Applin as a romantic gesture. The flavor of the apple Applin lives in determines its [[Evolution]], the apples can be exceptionally [[Tart Apple|tart]], [[Sweet Apple|sweet]], or [[Syrupy Apple|syrupy]].

Applin, {{p|Flapple}}, and {{p|Appletun}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Applin is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] to have a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]].
** Furthermore, Applin is the first Pokémon since {{p|Tyrogue}} in [[Generation II]] to have a branched Evolution path with more than two possible different species it can evolve into.
** Applin's evolutionary line (2 branches of a two-stage evolutionary line and 1 branch of a three-stage evolutionary line) is unique. It and {{p|Mime Jr.}} are the only Pokémon with a different number of Evolution stages in each branch of a branched evolutionary line (regular {{p|Mr. Mime}} does not evolve while {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime does).
* Applin and its evolved forms:
** are the only Pokémon that are in both the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Applin has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IX]], Applin is the only Dragon-type Pokémon to not learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Origin===
Applin appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}; perhaps specifically the {{wp|larva}}e of various moths, such as the {{wp|geometer moth}} larvae (also known as the inchworm) and the {{wp|codling moth}} larvae, who burrow into apples and feed on their cores, inhibiting growth and ripening them earlier. It may also be based on the {{wp|mole lizard}}, which has two forelimbs and closely resembles an earthworm, but is actually a type of reptile related to snakes known as an {{wp|amphisbaenia}}.

Its Dragon typing, combined with its worm-like appearance, may be a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon. It may also reference specific dragons in various mythologies, such as the {{wp|Lindworm}} (a serpentine dragon often depicted with only two forelimbs), {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}} (a dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Garden of the Hesperides}}), or the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|Biblical serpent}} who persuaded Eve to eat the {{wp|forbidden fruit}} of the {{wp|Tree of the knowledge of good and evil|tree of knowledge}}, which is often depicted as an apple.

====Name origin====
Applin may be a combination of ''apple'' and ''in''.

Kajicchu may be a combination of 齧る ''kajiru'' (to gnaw), 果実 ''kajitsu'' (fruit), and 虫 ''chū'' (bug; worm).

'''Dipplin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カミッチュ''' ''Kamicchu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Teal Mask]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Applin}} when exposed to a [[Syrupy Apple]] and evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Dragon Cheer}}. It is one of Applin's three branched Evolutions, the others being {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}}.

==Biology==
[[File:1011 Dipplin Dream 2.png|150px|thumb|left|Dipplin's fore-wyrm head]]
Dipplin is a worm-like Pokémon that lives inside an apple. In contrast to {{p|Applin}}'s other Evolutions, Dipplin bears a strong resemblance to Applin. Unlike Applin, however, Dipplin appears to be composed of a pair of separate creatures known as "wyrms"; the head and tail visible outside of Dipplin's apple appear to belong to two different ones.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dipplin/ Dipplin — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> The head belongs to the "fore-wyrm" while the tail belongs to the "core-wyrm". Both of Dipplin's bodies are light green, with a yellow-green underside. The fore-wyrm's head has two large yellow leaf-like eyestalks with small black pupils, and a tall, thin protrusion similar to a horn or an antenna. The core-wyrm's tail that sticks out from Dipplin's rear has two leaf-like features on it.

Dipplin's Evolution is said to have been triggered by the [[Syrupy Apple]], found exclusively in [[Kitakami]]. The pair that composes Dipplin works together inside their shared apple. They are capable of producing syrup, which they use to coat their apple in layers. This syrup has a fragrant scent that captivates Dipplin's opponents. They can use the syrup to engulf their opponents and hinder them.<ref name=SVsite/>

Dipplin and its evolved form, {{p|Hydrapple}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Syrup Bomb}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Supersweet Syrup}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Dipplin evolves from {{p|Applin}} and evolves into {{p|Hydrapple}}.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dipplin (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Despite its evolved form being unreleased at the time, Dipplin was able to use [[Eviolite]] upon its debut in [[The Teal Mask]].
* Dipplin and {{p|Hydrapple}} are the only:
** Evolutionary relatives introduced within a single [[generation]] that are not next to each other in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] order, with Dipplin being number 1011 and Hydrapple being number 1019.
** {{type|Dragon}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
* Dipplin and its evolutionary line:
** are the only Pokémon that are in both the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Dipplin is the only Pokémon that requires a [[TM]] to evolve, as it cannot learn {{m|Dragon Cheer}} without it.
* Dipplin, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Porygon2}} are the only non-fully [[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an [[Evolution item|item]].

===Origin===
Dipplin, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. Dipplin also appears to be based on a {{wp|candy apple}}, which is made by coating apples with a sugar mixture, and is often served at festivals and holidays. Dipplin's {{Shiny}} coloration may draw inspiration from the similar treat of {{wp|caramel apple}}s, or from {{wp|golden apple}}s.

====Name origin====
Dipplin may be a combination of ''di-'' (prefix meaning double), ''dip'', and ''{{p|Applin}}''.

Kamicchu may be a combination of 果 ''ka'' (fruit), 花蜜 ''kamitsu'' (nectar), 虫 ''chū'' (bug; worm), and カジッチュ ''Kajicchu'' (Applin).

'''Over the Top!''' (Japanese: '''オーバー・ザ・トップ''' ''Over the {{tt|Top|La Primera}}'') is the 79th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,311th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on January 10, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The episode begins by showing [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] fighting against [[Geeta]] in a 3-on-1 {{pkmn|battle}}, with Liko explaining how this came to be.

Upon arriving in [[Paldea]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and [[Friede]] visit the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where they are greeted by [[Rika]] and [[Penny]]. Rika asks for the reason of their visit to which the group tells her their request to see Geeta and obtain permission to enter the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. After a stare-off, Rika admits to messing around and brings them to see Geeta.

Having heard about an {{p|Entei}} sighting in the Great Crater, Liko says they believe it could be one of the [[Six Heroes]] they're looking for. [[Hassel]] asks for more details and they recount their adventure in finding the six Pokémon that once belonged to [[Lucius]] in hopes of finding [[Laqua]], only for [[HZ078|their search for Entei]] to end in failure as it was not the one they're searching for, as well as hearing from [[Briar]] about Entei likely being in [[Area Zero]]. Concluding their explanation, Liko and the others ask for permission to enter the Great Crater. However, only Friede is given permission to enter due to the presence of dangerous Pokémon called [[Paradox Pokémon]]. Despite not having much experience as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Liko and her friends implore Geeta to allow them entry into Area Zero, especially after having promised to bring [[Pagogo]] to Laqua. Seeing their earnest determination, Geeta proposes a battle between them, whereby if the three of them win against her, they would be permitted to enter Area Zero alongside Friede. Despite being nervous, the trio accept the proposal to battle.

On the rooftop of the Pokémon League, Geeta apologizes to the trio, explaining how she does not hold back in battles before sending out her {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, these Pokémon coming from the very place they seek to enter. With the Paldea [[Elite Four]], Penny, Friede, and [[Captain Pikachu]] watching, the battle begins with Roy ordering {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} to use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, only for Geeta to order her two Glimmet to use {{m|Rock Polish}} to increase their {{stat|speed}} and dodge the attack with ease. Since it's difficult to hit either Glimmet, the trio change their target to Glimmora. However, Geeta has Glimmora use {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} to negate their attacks and blind them before having her two Glimmet use {{m|Power Gem}} to attack the trio's Pokémon. When Glimmora blinds them again with Dazzling Gleam, the trio counterattacks, with Roy getting Crocalor to use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to attack both Glimmet since the attack never misses. {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} follows up by attacking Glimmora with {{m|Liquidation}}, but ends up getting hurt by Glimmora using {{m|Spiky Shield}} to protect itself. In spite of this, {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} takes the opportunity to use {{m|Sucker Punch}} to land a hit on Glimmora. While pleased with finally dealing some damage, the trio get taken aback when Glimmora's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Toxic Debris}}, activates as a result of Floragato's attack, causing {{m|Toxic Spikes}} to scatter around the battlefield and {{status|poison}} the [[first partner Pokémon]].

On the sidelines, the Elite Four remark how despite Liko and her friends were handling the battle, everything is going as Geeta planned and that she still has the advantage. While the kids are struggling, Geeta has both Glimmet attack with {{m|Venoshock}}, dealing even more damage since the trio's Pokémon are poisoned. Liko and Dot are shocked by Geeta's battle style, but Roy encourages the group by mentioning they have never given up before despite the challenges they faced. Roy then recalls the strategy used by {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} when they [[HZ073|battled against it]] and tells Liko and Dot they should do the same to counter Glimmora's Dazzling Gleam. Quaxwell uses {{m|Water Gun}} to make Glimmora use Dazzling Gleam, allowing the trio to set their strategy in motion. Hearing the sound of the attacks from the two Glimmet, Liko has Floragato dodge both Power Gem attacks and use her vine to capture both Glimmet, leaving them open to a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] Stomping Tantrum from Crocalor. While complimenting the trio on their adaptability, Geeta tells the group not to relax just yet before having both Glimmet use {{m|Memento}} to harshly lower Crocalor and Quaxwell's attack power before [[fainting]]. While Friede, Roy, and Dot are in awe of Geeta's strategy, Liko notes how Geeta is very adaptable and willing to use whatever strategy to win before deciding to do the same. Liko tells Roy and Dot to unleash a full on assault on Glimmora, which Geeta states she cannot let them rely of brute force. While Crocalor and Quaxwell use their attacks on Glimmora, Liko surprises everyone by having Floragato use Sucker Punch on Crocalor, leaving Quaxwell to get hurt by Glimmora's Spiky Shield. She then asks Roy to order Crocalor to use Stomping Tantrum again, this time dealing plenty of damage despite having his attack stat lowered, with Roy and Dot realizing the true goal behind Floragato attacking Crocalor. As Liko realises she can't pull the same trick again, the Elite Four members are impressed with the trio's skills as trainers and notes how Geeta is about to get serious. Geeta praises Liko, Roy, and Dot's efforts before {{Tera}}stallizing her Glimmora into a pure {{t|Rock}} type, with the trio doing the same with their respective Pokémon. Seeing Floragato struggle to use {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Geeta has Glimmora use {{m|Tera Blast}} on her. Crocalor and Quaxwell attempt to protect Floragato by using {{m|Flamethrower}} and Water Gun to push back the attack, but get knocked out instead. Floragato gets hit by Tera Blast as well but manages to survive, with her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]] activating as a result. With this being their last chance to beat Geeta, Liko has Floragato use a powerful Magical Leaf flurry. Glimmora tries to counter with Tera Blast but is eventually overwhelmed by the boosted attack, causing the {{pkmn|category|Ore Pokémon}} to faint. This results in victory for Liko, Roy, and Dot, much to their shock.

Admitting her defeat, Geeta compliments the trio on their skills and allows them to enter Area Zero, with the Elite Four congratulating them as well. Afterwards, Penny brings Liko's group to the [[Zero Gate]] and gives them access into Area Zero, seeing the group off at the same time.

Meanwhile, in a helicopter, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] are sent by [[Hamber]] to strictly spy on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in Area Zero since the [[Brave Olivine]] was spotted nearby. Coral is frustrated about not being able to fight but Hamber is able to get her to cooperate, complimenting Coral on her aggressiveness (bold power of adaptability in the original) and Sidian on his composed power of judgment, and how their respective strengths together would be vital to the success of their mission. Once above the Great Crater, the two fly down using {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}, beginning their mission.

Roserade57:

== Lao G comparisons also? ==
While the trivia is correctly making similarities to All Might and Master Roshi, could it also be a reference to One Piece's [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Lao_G Lao G]? Who was also an elderly and powerful character who poses and used puns based on the letter G? Or is that too much of a stretch? [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 12:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

== … ==

Got the news that the voice of Lion-O in the original ''Thundercats'' series voices Ludlow. I happen to be friends with him on Facebook. - '''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]''''' 22:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

== Sharpedo's gender ==

[[File:Wy-Yes.png|thumb|250px|Wy-Yes]]
'''Wyatt B Yessler''' (Japanese: '''ソーティム・ダ・ヨティム''' ''Sohtim da Yotim''), known as '''Wy-Yes''' (Japanese: '''ソーダヨ''' ''Sohdayo'') for short, is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]''. He is a journalist who writes for [[Occulture]] and is a former member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].
==Character==
Wy-Yes has a habit of mixing real facts with some "exaggerated" ones, which makes some people doubt the veracity of what he says. For this, he has a catchphrase; "The truth is what we make it". Wy-Yes also has a complicated relationship with [[Mollie]] because of this. He also cuts people off when they're about to ask him a question, wrongly assuming they were going to ask questions about himself to which he'll answer in great detail. His high energy gets mixed reactions, some loving it and some hating it.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally reach the Crystal Pool as they continue their hunt for the Terapagos researcher Ms. Briar. They don’t get to rest for long—a normally peaceful Milotic attacks and Terastallizes! After a tough battle, Friede and Cap return with Ms. Briar. Our heroes soon discover the teacher is a descendent of Heath, the author of the mysterious Scarlet Book that Dot found at Naranja Academy. She recounts Heath’s unpublished tales and shares that her studies on the legends of the Crystal Pool may help in their quest for the Six Heroes. What secrets hide in its clear waters?

==Plot==
Climbing up [[Oni Mountain]], [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Friede]] finally reach the end of the [[Infernal Pass]] and arrive at the [[Crystal Pool]] at the mountain's summit. They spot a [[signpost]], which informs them of a local legend that says that the Crystal Pool can allow one to see those who have died. However, the person they've come to meet, [[Briar]], is nowhere in sight, so Friede sets out to look for her while telling the children to wait. The trio's [[first partner Pokémon]] start playing at the shore of the pond, but their playtime is interrupted when an agitated {{p|Milotic}} suddenly emerges from the water before them and promptly {{Tera}}stallizes into a {{t|Ghost}} type. Left with no other choice, the children start to {{pkmn|battle}} Milotic, but its movements and counterattacks prove too fast for them. Liko tries to use {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s vine to hold it in place, but instead, Milotic ends up pulling Floragato underwater, forcing her to let go. Deciding on using a lure instead, Roy and Dot get an idea from a carnival game that [[HZ069|Dot played]] back during the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]]. Floragato ties her vine around {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, who dances in the shallow water to lure Milotic in, at which point Floragato pulls Quaxwell to safety and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} uses {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Surprisingly, Milotic uses Disarming Voice right back, and soon both it and Crocalor start singing to each other, with Milotic's Terastallized state becoming undone in the process as the two song-loving Pokémon communicate through their singing.

Just as the pacified Milotic dives away, Friede returns with Briar, who explains that Milotic's unprovoked aggression must've been caused by the Crystal Pool's composition. She and the young [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] introduce themselves to each other, with Briar having heard of them from [[Raifort]]. When the subject of their meeting, {{an|Terapagos}}, emerges from Liko's [[Bag|backpack]], Briar goes beside herself with excitement and tries to examine it, only for Terapagos to freak out and run away from her until Floragato manages to calm her down. Briar notes that she has actually seen another awakened {{p|Terapagos}} before, much to Liko's surprise. She also mentions how the crystals in the Crystal Pool resemble those found in [[Paldea]], explaining how [[wild Pokémon]] are able to Terastallize in [[Kitakami]] as well. She explains that she found this out while researching the Terastal phenomenon, which is heavily connected to Terapagos. Both sides of the conversation are eager to learn more from the other, so they head to Briar's tent nearby. While they set up tables and a campfire, Roy asks Briar who her partner Pokémon is, but she admits that her work has been so busy that she hasn't found herself one yet. Dot finds this relatable, also being very into studying Pokémon, although she does have Quaxwell watching after her.

After settling down, Liko tells Briar everything she knows about Terapagos's history, from her receiving it in the form a pendant from [[Diana|her grandmother]] to its connection with [[Lucius]], the [[Six Heroes]], and [[Laqua]]. While Briar cannot tell them anything about Laqua, she does note that Lucius must've met Terapagos somewhere, just like [[Heath]], the scientist who first named Terapagos and her ancestor. Her dream is to prove Heath's discoveries were true, and she pulls out a copy of his [[Scarlet Book]] from her backpack. It is the original tome, where the parts that were made illegible in the printed version are perfectly readable. One part details the expedition that Heath led into [[Area Zero]] down in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. In its depths, he had discovered many shining jewels, a Pokémon that he had named Terapagos, and [[Paradox Pokémon|many other mysterious Pokémon]]. However, Heath's writings about his discoveries were largely discredited, with hardly anyone believing him. That's why Briar is determined to solve the mysteries surrounding Terapagos and prove that her ancestor was correct. Liko finds the idea relatable, as she too had inherited the quest of solving the mysteries surrounding Terapagos and Lucius from her grandmother, making her and Briar kindred spirits.

Liko shows Briar her grandmother's research notes and Lucius's memoirs, the latter which her grandmother had found in her attic. Examining the memoirs, Briar notices a sketch of Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, whose name the group hadn't known of before. Briar notes that for Terapagos to change from Normal Form to Terastal Form requires a special impetus or power of some kind. Roy realizes that one of these {{a|Tera Shift|transformations}} occurred during an [[HZ033|encounter]] with the [[Black Rayquaza]]. While Briar theorizes that Terapagos and the Six Heroes share some kind of unobserved connection, both Liko and Friede recall [[HZ064|another incident]] and ask Briar if she knows anything about the substance called [[Laquium]]. Although she doesn't, the fact that there's so many things she's not heard of before only makes her even more excited to uncover everything about Terapagos. After nightfall, Briar leads them back to the Crystal Pool, hoping that Terapagos's memories of Lucius and the location's rumored special properties could help them find some answers. They stand together in front of the glimmering pool while Terapagos calls out for Lucius, but despite the legend about the Crystal Pool allowing people to meet those who have died, nothing happens all night. The next morning, the Rising Volt Tacklers leave Briar to continue her research and return to the [[Brave Olivine]]. With their leads regarding Terapagos having dried out for now, the team decides to focus on finding the rest of the Six Heroes, although they don't really have any clues regarding their whereabouts either. [[Murdock]] notices that Dot is not with them, and Liko tells him that Dot stayed behind in [[Mossui Town]] to get some footage for her videos.

In Mossui Town, Dot has just finished recording some footage of the local Pokémon when Quaxwell points out an unusual {{p|Growlithe}} to her. Consulting her [[Rotom Phone]], Dot learns that it is a {{rf|Hisuian}} Growlithe. Remembering that {{p|Kleavor}} was also native to [[Hisui]], she quickly follows Growlithe to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Perrin]], who confirms that her Pokémon indeed comes from her homeland of [[Sinnoh]], once known as Hisui. Dot asks her if she knows anything about Kleavor, but she only agrees to tell her under some specific conditions, the first of which is getting to take a [[Photography|photo]] of her. While initially shy about the idea, Dot ultimately agrees. The second condition that Perrin declares is for Dot to show her strength in battle, sending out {{p|Leafeon}} to be her opponent. Although Dot immediately realizes that her Quaxwell is at a type disadvantage, she still resolves to fight. After both sides have dodged some of each other's attacks, Leafeon powers itself up with {{m|Swords Dance}}, followed by {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Quaxwell tries to counter the blows with {{m|Pound}}, but is still struck hard. He still gets back up, though, and after dodging some further Leaf Blades, he uses a new [[move]] that Dot recognizes as {{m|Air Cutter}}. Dot orders another Air Cutter, which powers through Leafeon's {{m|Razor Leaf}}, so Perrin instead calls for a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Quaxwell succeeds in dodging the fast-speed attack and deals the finishing blow with {{m|Low Kick}}, defeating Leafeon. As promised, Perrin shows Dot a photograph she's taken. Shocked by what she sees, Dot takes Perrin with her to the Brave Olivine's conference room, shocking her fellow Rising Volt Tacklers with the knowledge that Perrin has seen Kleavor, with the young photographer happily introducing herself to the bewildered adventurers.

Remembering that {{p|Kleavor}} was also native to [[Hisui]], she quickly follows Growlithe to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Perrin]], who confirms that her Pokémon indeed comes from her homeland of [[Sinnoh]], once known as Hisui. Dot asks her if she knows anything about Kleavor, but she only agrees to tell her under some specific conditions, the first of which is getting to take a [[Photography|photo]] of her. While initially shy about the idea, Dot ultimately agrees. The second condition that Perrin declares is for Dot to show her strength in battle, sending out {{p|Leafeon}} to be her opponent. Although Dot immediately realizes that her Quaxwell is at a type disadvantage, she still resolves to fight. After both sides have dodged some of each other's attacks, Leafeon powers itself up with {{m|Swords Dance}}, followed by {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Quaxwell tries to counter the blows with {{m|Pound}}, but is still struck hard. He still gets back up, though, and after dodging some further Leaf Blades, he uses a new [[move]] that Dot recognizes as {{m|Air Cutter}}. Dot orders another Air Cutter, which powers through Leafeon's {{m|Razor Leaf}}, so Perrin instead calls for a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Quaxwell succeeds in dodging the fast-speed attack and deals the finishing blow with {{m|Low Kick}}, defeating Leafeon. As promised, Perrin shows Dot a photograph she's taken. Shocked by what she sees, Dot takes Perrin with her to the Brave Olivine's conference room, shocking her fellow Rising Volt Tacklers with the knowledge that Perrin has seen Kleavor, with the young photographer happily introducing herself to the bewildered adventurers.

ライム can translate to both lime and ryme, so i dont see why this characetr cant just be said to be named ryme in japanese?[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 04:17, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
:Most human characters in the games are named after random plants in Japanese, so maybe a more apparent reference to the lime takes precedence. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 04:56, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
::I dunno, shes a rapper. id just include the lime part as a happy coincidence. At the least, I think it should be mentioned that ライム can be said as Ryme.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 05:07, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot arrive in Montenevera for Roy’s Tera Training usage test against Gym Leader Ryme. But Ryme’s not at the Gym, and the three Trainers are directed outside to a stage where a concert is happening soon. Eventually, Roy calls out to try to find Ryme, and he gets a response—but it’s from announcer MC Sledge, who wants to battle Roy to get the crowd excited for the main event. After using their song to get in sync, Roy and Fuecoco win. Then, Ryme takes the stage, and she agrees to battle Roy—but only after facing off in a rap battle!

==Plot==
[[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} are in high spirits, singing together as they, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] arrive at the town of [[Montenevera]] for Roy's second [[Tera Training]] battle. The group notes the numerous lit candles around the settlement, which a couple of locals explain to be a part of the town's long-held tradition of honoring the souls of those who have passed on, part of which involves holding festivals and concerts to help them move on, with two concerts due to be held this very day, one during the day and another one at night. The locals help direct Roy and his friends to the [[Montenevera Gym]], but the Gym receptionist informs them that [[Ryme]] isn't present at the moment. The receptionist directs the group to search for her near the plaza stage, but as the group does so, they're suddenly surrounded by a pack of {{p|Greavard}} popping out of the snow. While they at first find them cute, they quickly start feeling lethargic, which Dot's [[Rotom Phone]] reveals to be because of Greavard's natural characteristic of slowly sapping away the life essence of anyone near them. Fortunately, a visit to a restaurant helps everyone recover, but while they eat, a curious {{an|Terapagos}} approaches a pair of {{p|Drifloon}}, who grab it and take it for a ride through the air, much to the group's alarm, so they run after them. A gust of wind causes the Drifloon to lose their grip on Terapagos, but it's saved by [[Nemona]] and {{p|Pawmot}} as they show up, to the group's surprise.

Heading back to the plaza, Nemona learns of Roy's test and corrects his misconception that Ryme would be watching the concert, since she's actually both a [[Gym Leader]] and a rapper who will be performing on-stage. Nemona herself had come to see the concert since it involves an open participation segment, which can involve [[Pokémon battle]]s. At the plaza, the group finds a big crowd surrounding the stage, though Ryme herself is still nowhere to be seen. Roy calls out loudly that he wishes to battle Ryme, but instead of Ryme, his call is answered by a man named [[MC Sledge]], who is the host of today's concert and more than happy to have a battle with Roy as a rehearsal, which Roy is happy to accept, joining MC Sledge on stage. MC Sledge sends out {{p|Sableye}}, while Roy calls forth Fuecoco, as usual. Sableye attacks with {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Power Gem}}, both of which Fuecoco dodges before starting to sing with Roy, firing himself up and defeating Sableye with a single {{m|Flame Charge}}. The crowd cheers for Roy as he leaves the stage. Right then, MC Sledge welcomes the star of the day's concert; Ryme, the MC of RIP. Roy is shocked, having not expected that the woman he met in the woods [[HZ052|a while back]] was actually Ryme, whom Nemona reveals to be a {{type|Ghost}} [[Type expert|specialist]]. Ryme performs a [[Ghost Rhyme|quick song]] for the audience. When she calls out to anyone wanting to join her on stage, Roy eagerly volunteers, wanting to battle her for his Tera Training test.

As Roy returns to the stage, Ryme is surprised to see that he is the Tera Training student she had heard was coming. Roy reveals to her that he ended up [[HZ053|meeting]] the {{p|Annihilape}} she had told him of, which she's happy to hear. However, before their test, she demands that he must beat her in a {{wp|Battle rap|rap battle}} first. Roy responds to the challenge with vigor, countering Ryme's rhymes with his own, which satisfy the Gym Leader more than enough for her to be ready for the test. Before they start, though, she wants to know what {{Tera}}stallizing means to him. Roy responds that to him, it's something he needs to get closer to his dream, the [[Black Rayquaza]]. With her question answered, Ryme chooses {{p|Houndstone}} as the first of her two Pokémon, while Roy chooses to lead with {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}. The {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} attacks with {{m|Spark}}, which grazes Houndstone despite its attempt to dodge, demonstrating Kilowattrel's improved {{stat|speed}} following its [[Evolution]]. More grazing Sparks follow, until Ryme tells Houndstone to use {{m|Phantom Force}}, dodging the next attack and striking Kilowattrel, before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}.

Following Kilowattrel's defeat, Fuecoco steps forward to battle. As usual, Roy and Fuecoco start off by singing their song, during which Houndstone uses {{m|Scary Face}}, following up with Crunch just as Fuecoco charges in with Flame Charge. The attacks repel each other, and while Fuecoco's second Flame Charge misses due to Phantom Force, he is fast enough to turn around just as Houndstone reappears and hit it with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, defeating it. Ryme [[recall]]s Houndstone and notes Roy's confidence following the [[Fainting|knockout]]. As such, she questions what drives Roy and Fuecoco to sing. After a bit of hesitation, Roy answers that it helps them grow stronger and win.

For her second Pokémon, Ryme chooses {{form|Toxtricity|Low Key Form}} {{p|Toxtricity}}, which Liko notes to not match her specialty type. Roy and Fuecoco perform their song once more before attacking with Flamethrower, but Toxtricity uses {{m|Overdrive}} to repel the attack. Roy changes tactics and has Fuecoco use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} instead, but it too is blocked by another Overdrive. Fuecoco's attempt to attack directly with Flame Charge is also foiled, this time by {{m|Boomburst}}, making Roy grow more and more desperate. Ryme reveals that her Toxtricity's [[Ability]] is {{a|Punk Rock}}, which boosts the power of its {{cat|sound-based moves}}. Roy refuses to give up and has Fuecoco sing once more before attacking with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Toxtricity, however, doesn't even flinch from the hit. In the crowd, Nemona reveals to Liko that Punk Rock also has a second effect that decreases the [[damage]] taken from sound-based moves. In addition, Disarming Voice is a {{t|Fairy}} move that doesn't do much against a {{t|Poison}} type like Toxtricity, not helping the matter. Ryme starts her counterattack and orders Toxtricity to use {{m|Hex}}. Fuecoco dodges the attack by jumping into the air, which backfires as he's hit by an unavoidable Overdrive while mid-air. Roy's desperation takes over, and he immediately Terastallizes Fuecoco in a rushed manner that Ryme criticizes him of. Before Fuecoco can do anything, Toxtricity blinds him with {{m|Venoshock}} and finishes him off with an Overdrive, ending the battle without Ryme even having to resort to using Terastallization herself.

Roy is devastated by his loss, and his mood only worsens when Ryme criticizes him for being a bad partner to his Pokémon and declares that he has failed his test. Ryme turns her back on Roy, tells him to return once he's "washed his soul", and walks away to resume her concert, leaving Roy to be with his friends and try to cope with how he has failed to utilize his partner's full potential.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] arrive in [[Montenevera]] and meet [[Nemona]] again.
* Roy meets [[Ryme]] again, while Liko and Dot meet her for the first time.
** In the process, Roy learns that Ryme is the {{gy|Montenevera}} [[Gym Leader]].

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot return to Naranja Academy with Friede, who asks Director Clavell and Chairwoman Geeta what they know about Terapagos. Geeta shares historical sketches of two different forms of the Pokémon, and she explains that another sketch in the Scarlet Book is believed to depict a mysterious third form. On her recommendation, the students then visit history teacher Raifort, who takes them on a thrilling treasure hunt and advises them that the past is key to learning about the future. Liko is excited to discover even more about Terapagos, but first, it’s time for another round of Tera Training tests!

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have gathered to eat at [[Barato's]] to celebrate [[Liko]], [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] passing their first [[Tera Training]] tests while [[Murdock]] cries lots of tears for Dot's performance in particular. Dot tells him to get a grip and that the course isn't even over yet. Liko agrees with Dot saying they can't let up now. [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] tell the kids that they also should slow down and relax to have a good balance in life. Roy calls the waiter to get him another orange juice. Orla notices a smiling Liko, who says that it does her heart good to see everyone together again. Orla tells Liko that by the time they get back, the ship should be airworthy again. [[Friede]] tells the kids that he will head over to the [[Naranja Academy]] once the meal is over. Dot says the implementation tests don't start until tomorrow. Friede then shocks everyone when he reveals that he made an appointment to see [[Geeta]] and [[Clavell]].

Meanwhile, back at the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Ludlow]] finds a [[Gimmighoul Coin]] on the ground and picks it up. He remarks that every being bears a history, so too does every object bearing an imbued emotion. As he looks down however, the coin disappears from his hand.

Friede and the kids meet with Clavell and Geeta, the latter in particular being familiar with his work as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Just as Geeta asks about {{an|Terapagos}}, said Pokémon pokes its head out of Liko's bag, shocking Geeta and Clavell. They ask where Liko found it, and she answers that it was a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]] when it was a pendant. Friede mentions sightings of {{p|Terapagos}} in [[Paldea]] through old records, hoping that Geeta would know something about them. Geeta brings up old sketches of Terapagos's forms on the screen. Liko recognizes the sketch on the right as Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} that it took on [[HZ045|when protecting Liko]] from the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Clavell says that while no details of Terapagos have been recovered, it's said to be a Pokémon with a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. They turn to a photo of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Geeta says that a Pokémon resembling Terapagos was sighted in [[Area Zero]], the deepest point of the crater, which was recorded in the [[Scarlet Book]]. Hearing this, Dot grabs the Scarlet Book from her bag and shows it to Clavell and Geeta. The latter skims through it and finds a sketch of what is thought to be a third form Terapagos can take. Liko tells Geeta that Terapagos wants to go to a place called [[Laqua]]. Roy says that it's a place that the ancient adventurer reached a hundred years ago. From this, Geeta hypothesizes that solving the mysteries of Terapagos will help solve the mysteries of Laqua. Roy suggests going to Area Zero, but Clavell says that entering will be difficult, seeing how there was recently an accident there. Nevertheless, Geeta offers to accompany them one day in doing so. She also points them to someone who may know of things from a hundred years ago.

At the library, Dot puts the Scarlet Book back in its place. Friede remarks how mysteries only lead them into even more mysteries begging to be uncovered. Roy and Dot notice Liko's look of unease, to which she admits that she doesn't really know anything about Terapagos. Roy disagrees, saying that she's learned a lot about its personality. The group is greeted by the Naranja Academy's history teacher, [[Raifort]]. Liko is about to introduce herself to Raifort when she sees another Terapagos by her side. Raifort brushes this off as an "{{a|illusion}}", and sure enough, the Pokémon reveals itself as her {{p|Zoroark}}. Liko scans the {{pkmn|category|Illusion Fox Pokémon}} with her [[Rotom Phone]], and as she lowers it, Zoroark has taken on the appearance of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Raifort knows that the group is following a lead, and as Liko is about to answer, Raifort says that she is heading out to do fieldwork right now and offers to let them join her in finding some ancient treasure.

While walking on the trail, Raifort hears about the legend of the ancient adventurer, his [[Six Heroes]], the paradise they were aiming to reach, and Liko receiving Terapagos in the present day. All this gets her more excited and even more curious. Friede asks about Laqua, and Raifort mentions it recorded in a history book. Zoroark signals Raifort, who tells everyone to lay low for the active treasure nearby. The kids hear the sound of metal, thinking it must be a Pokémon. Roy goes over to the bushes and spots a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, scanning it with his Pokédex. Friede says that its rare for anyone to catch its Roaming Form in Paldea, so Roy declares that he'll be the first. Just as he sends out {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} however, it vanishes and leaves behind a Gimmighoul Coin. Raifort tells Roy that Gimmighoul must have dropped it in a panic, letting him keep it. Roy then spots Gimmighoul on Fuecoco's head. It jumps off Fuecoco to reveal itself as Zoroark again, who hands Raifort another Gimmighoul Coin. The group decides to split up to look for more Gimmighoul Coins. They are then pointed by Terapagos to the ruins of a fort. As the rest of the group, excluding Roy, comes over, Terapagos runs down there first, prompting them to follow.

At the ruins, Terapagos crawls into a hole and greets the {{p|Nacli}} and {{p|Charcadet}} inside. Raifort tells the group that Charcadet has supported knights and nobility since ancient times. Terapagos comes out with Charcadet riding on top, which makes Liko smile. Nacli greets Liko, and Dot wonders why its not afraid of people. Friede says that Nacli has been helping humans for hundreds of years. Raifort shares that these two have lived in Paldea for a long, long time, forming connections with people. Roy comes back with his hat full of Gimmighoul Coins, boasting about how he's a natural-born treasure hunter. Raifort points to their objective, the watchtower. She says that back when the region was divided into multiple countries, the emperor built them to keep watch on the neighboring countries. Seeing the tower, Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and tells it that the tower where they met looked like this one. Raifort remarks that artifacts built by those from days long past now play a part in your own story. She says that history is the past leaving its impact on the present.

Roy flies Kilowattrel to the top of the watchtower. Friede sends out {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and carries Liko and Dot up there too. On the watchtower, the kids overlook the land when Raifort points them to a treasure chest. Friede gets a feeling and Fuecoco opens the chest to reveal Gimmighoul in its chest form. A purple aura surrounds the Coin Hunter Pokémon, prompting Roy to skip over and hand it all the Gimmighoul coins he collected. Liko and Dot wonder what's wrong, and Friede says that Roy has fallen under Gimmighoul's spell; controlling humans to make them collect coins, only to steal every last one. With all of Roy's coins handed over, Gimmighoul jumps off the tower and runs off. Raifort says that by hunting for old coins, they were able to meet modern-day Pokémon. She then shares that the history book regarded Laqua described it as such: "Once upon a time, far beyond Paldea, a hundred days and nights away, there was a Pokémon paradise. The shining pink of Laqua." Hearing this, Friede realizes that Laqua is connected to [[Laquium]]. Raifort shares that people always dismissed the paradise as nothing more than a fairy tale, and that long before the Naranja Academy was even founded, this land was once part of the Paldean Empire; and even before that, another kingdom entirely. Raifort tells Liko to imagine what the Paldea now may have looked like back then, because even though you can't see it for yourself, the more you learn about the past, the more you can imagine it. Seeing Terapagos climb onto the ledge of the tower and cry out, Liko envisions [[Lucius]] and Terapagos on the tower, overlooking the land. Raifort tells everyone that discovering the past is an adventure on its own; if you believe in it, you can find it. Friede thanks Raifort, even though she just wanted to show the children of the future how much fun learning about the past can be.

The next day at the Naranja Academy, Clavell greets all the students, informing them that that those who have passed the basics test will be moving on to the implementation tests. [[Dendra]] assigns the students to a designated [[Gym]] to take on its [[Gym Leader]], which [[Coral]] finds boring for being the exact same thing as the basics test. Dendra informs the students that this time around, they will have to use two Pokémon instead of one. Hearing this, Dot becomes worried about {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}'s sensitive nature. Roy and Dot acknowledge that if they can pass the implementation, they will finally be able to use Terastal phenomenon. Liko looks forward to that since learning more about Terastal phenomenon will help her learn more about Terapagos. Checking their apps, Roy gets [[Ryme]] in [[Montenevera]], while Dot gets [[Larry]] in [[Medali]]. Liko gets [[Glaseado Mountain]], which means she will battle [[Grusha]]. Liko remembers Grusha from when [[HZ056|he approached her after her loss]] to [[Rika]] of the [[Elite Four]], making her a bit nervous. Roy asks which route they should take this time, and Liko says that Medali seems to be the closest this time. Sharing the Rising Volt Tacklers handshake, the group sets out for Medali.

===Errors===
*In the English dub, when Roy is assigned to battle [[Ryme]] — he mentions having met her before. Whilst this is true, she doesn't tell him her name — so he shouldn't know who Ryme is. This is further proven in [[HZ061]], when Roy tries to find Ryme but has no idea who she is and is surprised when she is the woman he met once before. In the original, when he was assigned Ryme, he didn't know who she was.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot return to Naranja Academy with Friede, who asks Director Clavell and Chairwoman Geeta what they know about Terapagos. Geeta shares historical sketches of two different forms of the Pokémon, and she explains that another sketch in the Scarlet Book is believed to depict a mysterious third form. On her recommendation, the students then visit history teacher Raifort, who takes them on a thrilling treasure hunt and advises them that the past is key to learning about the future. Liko is excited to discover even more about Terapagos, but first, it’s time for another round of Tera Training tests!

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have gathered to eat at [[Barato's]] to celebrate [[Liko]], [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] passing their first [[Tera Training]] tests while [[Murdock]] cries lots of tears for Dot's performance in particular. Dot tells him to get a grip and that the course isn't even over yet. Liko agrees with Dot saying they can't let up now. [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] tell the kids that they also should slow down and relax to have a good balance in life. Roy calls the waiter to get him another orange juice. Orla notices a smiling Liko, who says that it does her heart good to see everyone together again. Orla tells Liko that by the time they get back, the ship should be airworthy again. [[Friede]] tells the kids that he will head over to the [[Naranja Academy]] once the meal is over. Dot says the implementation tests don't start until tomorrow. Friede then shocks everyone when he reveals that he made an appointment to see [[Geeta]] and [[Clavell]].

Meanwhile, back at the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Ludlow]] finds a [[Gimmighoul Coin]] on the ground and picks it up. He remarks that every being bears a history, so too does every object bearing an imbued emotion. As he looks down however, the coin disappears from his hand.

Friede and the kids meet with Clavell and Geeta, the latter in particular being familiar with his work as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Just as Geeta asks about {{an|Terapagos}}, said Pokémon pokes its head out of Liko's bag, shocking Geeta and Clavell. They ask where Liko found it, and she answers that it was a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]] when it was a pendant. Friede mentions sightings of {{p|Terapagos}} in [[Paldea]] through old records, hoping that Geeta would know something about them. Geeta brings up old sketches of Terapagos's forms on the screen. Liko recognizes the sketch on the right as Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} that it took on [[HZ045|when protecting Liko]] from the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Clavell says that while no details of Terapagos have been recovered, it's said to be a Pokémon with a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. They turn to a photo of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Geeta says that a Pokémon resembling Terapagos was sighted in [[Area Zero]], the deepest point of the crater, which was recorded in the [[Scarlet Book]]. Hearing this, Dot grabs the Scarlet Book from her bag and shows it to Clavell and Geeta. The latter skims through it and finds a sketch of what is thought to be a third form Terapagos can take. Liko tells Geeta that Terapagos wants to go to a place called [[Laqua]]. Roy says that it's a place that the ancient adventurer reached a hundred years ago. From this, Geeta hypothesizes that solving the mysteries of Terapagos will help solve the mysteries of Laqua. Roy suggests going to Area Zero, but Clavell says that entering will be difficult, seeing how there was recently an accident there. Nevertheless, Geeta offers to accompany them one day in doing so. She also points them to someone who may know of things from a hundred years ago.

At the library, Dot puts the Scarlet Book back in its place. Friede remarks how mysteries only lead them into even more mysteries begging to be uncovered. Roy and Dot notice Liko's look of unease, to which she admits that she doesn't really know anything about Terapagos. Roy disagrees, saying that she's learned a lot about its personality. The group is greeted by the Naranja Academy's history teacher, [[Raifort]]. Liko is about to introduce herself to Raifort when she sees another Terapagos by her side. Raifort brushes this off as an "{{a|illusion}}", and sure enough, the Pokémon reveals itself as her {{p|Zoroark}}. Liko scans the {{pkmn|category|Illusion Fox Pokémon}} with her [[Rotom Phone]], and as she lowers it, Zoroark has taken on the appearance of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Raifort knows that the group is following a lead, and as Liko is about to answer, Raifort says that she is heading out to do fieldwork right now and offers to let them join her in finding some ancient treasure.

While walking on the trail, Raifort hears about the legend of the ancient adventurer, his [[Six Heroes]], the paradise they were aiming to reach, and Liko receiving Terapagos in the present day. All this gets her more excited and even more curious. Friede asks about Laqua, and Raifort mentions it recorded in a history book. Zoroark signals Raifort, who tells everyone to lay low for the active treasure nearby. The kids hear the sound of metal, thinking it must be a Pokémon. Roy goes over to the bushes and spots a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, scanning it with his Pokédex. Friede says that its rare for anyone to catch its Roaming Form in Paldea, so Roy declares that he'll be the first. Just as he sends out {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} however, it vanishes and leaves behind a Gimmighoul Coin. Raifort tells Roy that Gimmighoul must have dropped it in a panic, letting him keep it. Roy then spots Gimmighoul on Fuecoco's head. It jumps off Fuecoco to reveal itself as Zoroark again, who hands Raifort another Gimmighoul Coin. The group decides to split up to look for more Gimmighoul Coins. They are then pointed by Terapagos to the ruins of a fort. As the rest of the group, excluding Roy, comes over, Terapagos runs down there first, prompting them to follow.

At the ruins, Terapagos crawls into a hole and greets the {{p|Nacli}} and {{p|Charcadet}} inside. Raifort tells the group that Charcadet has supported knights and nobility since ancient times. Terapagos comes out with Charcadet riding on top, which makes Liko smile. Nacli greets Liko, and Dot wonders why its not afraid of people. Friede says that Nacli has been helping humans for hundreds of years. Raifort shares that these two have lived in Paldea for a long, long time, forming connections with people. Roy comes back with his hat full of Gimmighoul Coins, boasting about how he's a natural-born treasure hunter. Raifort points to their objective, the watchtower. She says that back when the region was divided into multiple countries, the emperor built them to keep watch on the neighboring countries. Seeing the tower, Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and tells it that the tower where they met looked like this one. Raifort remarks that artifacts built by those from days long past now play a part in your own story. She says that history is the past leaving its impact on the present.

Roy flies Kilowattrel to the top of the watchtower. Friede sends out {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and carries Liko and Dot up there too. On the watchtower, the kids overlook the land when Raifort points them to a treasure chest. Friede gets a feeling and Fuecoco opens the chest to reveal Gimmighoul in its chest form. A purple aura surrounds the Coin Hunter Pokémon, prompting Roy to skip over and hand it all the Gimmighoul coins he collected. Liko and Dot wonder what's wrong, and Friede says that Roy has fallen under Gimmighoul's spell; controlling humans to make them collect coins, only to steal every last one. With all of Roy's coins handed over, Gimmighoul jumps off the tower and runs off. Raifort says that by hunting for old coins, they were able to meet modern-day Pokémon.

Raifort shares that people always dismissed the paradise as nothing more than a fairy tale, and that long before the Naranja Academy was even founded, this land was once part of the Paldean Empire; and even before that, another kingdom entirely. Raifort tells Liko to imagine what the Paldea now may have looked like back then, because even though you can't see it for yourself, the more you learn about the past, the more you can imagine it. Seeing Terapagos climb onto the ledge of the tower and cry out, Liko envisions [[Lucius]] and Terapagos on the tower, overlooking the land. Raifort tells everyone that discovering the past is an adventure on its own; if you believe in it, you can find it.

===Errors===
In the English dub, when Roy is assigned to battle [[Ryme]] — he mentions having met her before. Whilst this is true, she doesn't tell him her name — so he shouldn't know who Ryme is. This is further proven in [[HZ061]], when Roy tries to find Ryme but has no idea who she is and is surprised when she is the woman he met once before. In the original, when he was assigned Ryme, he didn't know who she was.

==Blurb==

Liko, Roy, and Dot return to Naranja Academy with Friede, who asks Director Clavell and Chairwoman Geeta what they know about Terapagos. Geeta shares historical sketches of two different forms of the Pokémon, and she explains that another sketch in the Scarlet Book is believed to depict a mysterious third form. On her recommendation, the students then visit history teacher Raifort, who takes them on a thrilling treasure hunt and advises them that the past is key to learning about the future. Liko is excited to discover even more about Terapagos, but first, it’s time for another round of Tera Training tests!

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have gathered to eat at [[Barato's]] to celebrate [[Liko]], [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] passing their first [[Tera Training]] tests while [[Murdock]] cries lots of tears for Dot's performance in particular. Dot tells him to get a grip and that the course isn't even over yet. Liko agrees with Dot saying they can't let up now. [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] tell the kids that they also should slow down and relax to have a good balance in life. Roy calls the waiter to get him another orange juice. Orla notices a smiling Liko, who says that it does her heart good to see everyone together again. Orla tells Liko that by the time they get back, the ship should be airworthy again. [[Friede]] tells the kids that he will head over to the [[Naranja Academy]] once the meal is over. Dot says the implementation tests don't start until tomorrow. Friede then shocks everyone when he reveals that he made an appointment to see [[Geeta]] and [[Clavell]].

Meanwhile, back at the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Ludlow]] finds a [[Gimmighoul Coin]] on the ground and picks it up. He remarks that every being bears a history, so too does every object bearing an imbued emotion. As he looks down however, the coin disappears from his hand.

Friede and the kids meet with Clavell and Geeta, the latter in particular being familiar with his work as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Just as Geeta asks about {{an|Terapagos}}, said Pokémon pokes its head out of Liko's bag, shocking Geeta and Clavell. They ask where Liko found it, and she answers that it was a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]] when it was a pendant. Friede mentions sightings of {{p|Terapagos}} in [[Paldea]] through old records, hoping that Geeta would know something about them. Geeta brings up old sketches of Terapagos's forms on the screen. Liko recognizes the sketch on the right as Terapagos's {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} that it took on [[HZ045|when protecting Liko]] from the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Clavell says that while no details of Terapagos have been recovered, it's said to be a Pokémon with a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. They turn to a photo of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. Geeta says that a Pokémon resembling Terapagos was sighted in [[Area Zero]], the deepest point of the crater, which was recorded in the [[Scarlet Book]]. Hearing this, Dot grabs the Scarlet Book from her bag and shows it to Clavell and Geeta. The latter skims through it and finds a sketch of what is thought to be a third form Terapagos can take. Liko tells Geeta that Terapagos wants to go to a place called [[Laqua]]. Roy says that it's a place that the ancient adventurer reached a hundred years ago. From this, Geeta hypothesizes that solving the mysteries of Terapagos will help solve the mysteries of Laqua. Roy suggests going to Area Zero, but Clavell says that entering will be difficult, seeing how there was recently an accident there. Nevertheless, Geeta offers to accompany them one day in doing so. She also points them to someone who may know of things from a hundred years ago.

At the library, Dot puts the Scarlet Book back in its place. Friede remarks how mysteries only lead them into even more mysteries begging to be uncovered. Roy and Dot notice Liko's look of unease, to which she admits that she doesn't really know anything about Terapagos. Roy disagrees, saying that she's learned a lot about its personality. The group is greeted by the Naranja Academy's history teacher, [[Raifort]]. Liko is about to introduce herself to Raifort when she sees another Terapagos by her side. Raifort brushes this off as an "{{a|illusion}}", and sure enough, the Pokémon reveals itself as her {{p|Zoroark}}. Liko scans the {{pkmn|category|Illusion Fox Pokémon}} with her [[Rotom Phone]], and as she lowers it, Zoroark has taken on the appearance of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Raifort knows that the group is following a lead, and as Liko is about to answer, Raifort says that she is heading out to do fieldwork right now and offers to let them join her in finding some ancient treasure.

While walking on the trail, Raifort hears about the legend of the ancient adventurer, his [[Six Heroes]], the paradise they were aiming to reach, and Liko receiving Terapagos in the present day. All this gets her more excited and even more curious. Friede asks about Laqua, and Raifort mentions it recorded in a history book. Zoroark signals Raifort, who tells everyone to lay low for the active treasure nearby. The kids hear the sound of metal, thinking it must be a Pokémon. Roy goes over to the bushes and spots a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, scanning it with his Pokédex. Friede says that its rare for anyone to catch its Roaming Form in Paldea, so Roy declares that he'll be the first. Just as he sends out {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} however, it vanishes and leaves behind a Gimmighoul Coin. Raifort tells Roy that Gimmighoul must have dropped it in a panic, letting him keep it. Roy then spots Gimmighoul on Fuecoco's head. It jumps off Fuecoco to reveal itself as Zoroark again, who hands Raifort another Gimmighoul Coin. The group decides to split up to look for more Gimmighoul Coins. They are then pointed by Terapagos to the ruins of a fort. As the rest of the group, excluding Roy, comes over, Terapagos runs down there first, prompting them to follow.

At the ruins, Terapagos crawls into a hole and greets the {{p|Nacli}} and {{p|Charcadet}} inside. Raifort tells the group that Charcadet has supported knights and nobility since ancient times. Terapagos comes out with Charcadet riding on top, which makes Liko smile. Nacli greets Liko, and Dot wonders why its not afraid of people. Friede says that Nacli has been helping humans for hundreds of years. Raifort shares that these two have lived in Paldea for a long, long time, forming connections with people. Roy comes back with his hat full of Gimmighoul Coins, boasting about how he's a natural-born treasure hunter. Raifort points to their objective, the watchtower. She says that back when the region was divided into multiple countries, the emperor built them to keep watch on the neighboring countries. Seeing the tower, Roy sends out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and tells it that the tower where they met looked like this one. Raifort remarks that artifacts built by those from days long past now play a part in your own story. She says that history is the past leaving its impact on the present.

Roy flies Kilowattrel to the top of the watchtower. Friede sends out {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and carries Liko and Dot up there too. On the watchtower, the kids overlook the land when Raifort points them to a treasure chest. Friede gets a feeling and Fuecoco opens the chest to reveal Gimmighoul in its chest form. A purple aura surrounds the Coin Hunter Pokémon, prompting Roy to skip over and hand it all the Gimmighoul coins he collected. Liko and Dot wonder what's wrong, and Friede says that Roy has fallen under Gimmighoul's spell; controlling humans to make them collect coins, only to steal every last one. With all of Roy's coins handed over, Gimmighoul jumps off the tower and runs off. Raifort says that by hunting for old coins, they were able to meet modern-day Pokémon. She then shares that the history book regarded Laqua described it as such: "Once upon a time, far beyond Paldea, a hundred days and nights away, there was a Pokémon paradise. The shining pink of Laqua." Hearing this, Friede realizes that Laqua is connected to [[Laquium]]. Raifort shares that people always dismissed the paradise as nothing more than a fairy tale, and that long before the Naranja Academy was even founded, this land was once part of the Paldean Empire; and even before that, another kingdom entirely. Raifort tells Liko to imagine what the Paldea now may have looked like back then, because even though you can't see it for yourself, the more you learn about the past, the more you can imagine it. Seeing Terapagos climb onto the ledge of the tower and cry out, Liko envisions [[Lucius]] and Terapagos on the tower, overlooking the land. Raifort tells everyone that discovering the past is an adventure on its own; if you believe in it, you can find it. Friede thanks Raifort, even though she just wanted to show the children of the future how much fun learning about the past can be.

The next day at the Naranja Academy, Clavell greets all the students, informing them that that those who have passed the basics test will be moving on to the implementation tests. [[Dendra]] assigns the students to a designated [[Gym]] to take on its [[Gym Leader]], which [[Coral]] finds boring for being the exact same thing as the basics test. Dendra informs the students that this time around, they will have to use two Pokémon instead of one. Hearing this, Dot becomes worried about {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}'s sensitive nature. Roy and Dot acknowledge that if they can pass the implementation, they will finally be able to use Terastal phenomenon. Liko looks forward to that since learning more about Terastal phenomenon will help her learn more about Terapagos. Checking their apps, Roy gets [[Ryme]] in [[Montenevera]], while Dot gets [[Larry]] in [[Medali]]. Liko gets [[Glaseado Mountain]], which means she will battle [[Grusha]]. Liko remembers Grusha from when [[HZ056|he approached her after her loss]] to [[Rika]] of the [[Elite Four]], making her a bit nervous. Roy asks which route they should take this time, and Liko says that Medali seems to be the closest this time. Sharing the Rising Volt Tacklers handshake, the group sets out for Medali.

'''Leon's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''ダンデのリザードン''' ''Dande's Lizardon'') is [[Leon]]'s main partner {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|animation}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

{{p|Charizard}} is [[Leon]]'s main partner Pokémon in the games. It took part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] alongside Leon when he was ten years old, and they claimed victory in the Champion Cup on their first attempt. Since that victory, Leon and Charizard remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches until they were defeated by the {{player}} during the events of {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Charizard can be first seen during the game's introductory cutscene with Leon, having an exhibition match against [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. The player first meets Chairzard in person in [[Wedgehurst]] with his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Throughout the game, Charizard is commonly seen alongside Leon outside of battle. Due to Leon's poor sense of direction, he often gets lost, and having to rely on Charizard to lead him to his destination.

During the battle against {{p|Eternatus}}, Charizard is the final Pokémon Leon uses to wear it down before attempting to capture it. Just before Eternatus breaks out of Leon's {{i|Poké Ball}}, Charizard uses the last of its energy to shield the player and [[Hop]] from the blast.

Leon's signature pose is called the Charizard pose, named after his Charizard.

In battles with or against the player, Leon will [[Gigantamax]] Charizard at the first opportunity. When battling the player in the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, Leon will always use Charizard on his [[Party|team]].

A {{mezastar|Promotional tags|promotional tag}} featuring Charizard was packaged with the Pokémon Dynamax Band, released on February 11, 2021. Charizard later appeared in Pokémon Mezastar as one of Leon's Pokémon. Charizard also appeared as an opponent in an event that recreated the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] that ran from October 27 to November 21, 2022.

====[[Pokémon UNITE]]====
Charizard appears in [[Pokémon UNITE]] alongside Leon as an enemy Trainer to fight during the {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Legacy Trainer Showdown}} event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. The battle took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. His Charizard starts the battle as {{p|Charmander}} and can evolve to {{p|Charmeleon}} and then Charizard during the battle. It has the same [[move]]s and [[Ability]] as other {{UNITE|Charizard}} in the game.

Charizard also appears alongside Leon in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event, also in Theia Sky Ruins. In this event, Charizard never wears [[Holowear]]. Additionally, replacing the display of the Unite License on the pre-battle splash screen, Leon and Charizard use a special Unite Snapshot depicting them with two-dimensional artwork. Notably, the background for that Unite Snapshot can be obtained for use by the player through the event, but Charizard is absent from it.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Charmander during Leon's childhood]]
====Pre-series====
{{an|Leon}} obtained {{p|Charizard}} as a {{p|Charmander}} when he was young, it being his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. It accompanied him and [[Sonia]] on their {{pkmn|journey}} when they became {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In a flashback in ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', it is shown that Charmander was used in Leon's first Pokémon battle against Sonia's {{p|Rookidee}}, where Charmander was defeated.

Sometime after that, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and at some point, it evolved again into a Charizard.

In another flashback shown in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', it was shown that Charizard was with Leon when he became the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Charizard debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where it was used to battle {{an|Lance}} and his [[Lance's Gyarados|Red Gyarados]]. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, Charizard put up an incredible fight, during which both Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ed. In the end, after an intense {{pkmn|battle}}, Charizard defeated Gyarados and emerged victorious, cementing Leon's spot as the Monarch of the [[World Coronation Series]].
[[File:JN012.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and Leon against Lance and Gyarados]]
In [[JN013|the next episode]], Charizard and Leon battled {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} in an unofficial match. After both Pokémon [[Gigantamax]]ed, Charizard won using its {{m|G-Max Wildfire}} after being hit by a super effective {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}} from Pikachu. After the battle, Leon thanked Charizard for the work and told Ash that the next battle they have will be an official one.

In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Charizard went up against [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a close match, with both Pokémon Gigantamaxing, Charizard ultimately won the battle.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield: Slumbering Weald!]]'', Charizard saved Ash and his Pokémon by defeating a {{p|Centiskorch}} that had Gigantamaxed unexpectedly and was rampaging in a small town in [[Galar]]. After Centiskorch was defeated, Charizard carried Leon across the [[region]] to deal with other Pokémon that had unexpectedly Gigantamaxed. The first Pokémon they encountered was a huge {{p|Pangoro}}.

In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', Leon initially used Charizard to battle a Gigantamax {{p|Coalossal}} along with Ash's Pokémon while flying over a coal mine. However, Leon decided to switch to {{p|Dragapult}} so he could end the battle before it did any more damage.
[[File:Leon Charizard Cinderace Lucario.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard protecting {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}]]
In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: From Here to Eternatus!]]'', Charizard took on {{p|Eternatus}} during the [[Darkest Day]] crisis. The battle continued in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', where Charizard finally managed to gain the upper hand and weaken Eternatus enough that Leon could throw an [[Ultra Ball]]. However, when Eternatus broke out of the ball, Charizard shielded [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Lucario}} as well as [[Goh's Cinderace]] from the blast, causing it to take serious damage. This forced Leon to recall Charizard to its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon used Charizard to battle [[Flint]] and his {{TP|Flint|Infernape}} in a World Coronation Series match that it won without much difficulty. Later, Leon used Charizard in the first stage of his training with Ash, flying and dodging several trees that they found on the way and then climbing a waterfall. Charizard was seen again when Leon and Ash meet up with [[Sonia]] and [[Goh]].
[[File:Alain Charizard Leon Charizard.png|thumb|250px|Charizard battling Alain's Charizard]]
In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Leon used Charizard as his second Pokémon in his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] battle against [[Alain]]. It was briefly used to battle [[Alain's Charizard]] before battling {{p|Malamar}}, which it defeated. Charizard battled Alain's Charizard once more and, despite Alain [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Charizard, emerged the victor.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Charizard was one of the three Pokémon Leon used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against [[Diantha]]. Charizard battled [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} and despite Gardevoir using its {{m|Psychic}} move to control G-Max Wildfire to its advantage, Charizard was able to win after Leon made Charizard use another G-Max Wildfire to bust through the combination attack and strike Gardevoir. This allowed him to advance to the finals of the tournament.
[[File:JN131.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard against {{AP|Pikachu}} in the finals]]
During preparations for the [[Full Battle]] between Leon and Ash in ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Charizard and [[Hop]] stayed with Leon in the locker room. Leon reminisced about his past as a child and the emotions he felt when battling with {{p|Charmander}}. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Charizard was the sixth Pokémon Leon used in the battle, where it faced Ash's Pikachu. During the battle, Leon immediately Gigantamaxed Charizard, which caused Charizard to start gaining the upper hand in the battle. After Charizard's G-Max Wildfire clashed with Pikachu's {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, cancelling out both moves while Charizard returned to its normal size and form, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} ended up reawakening and appearing at [[Wyndon Stadium]].

In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard was recalled in favor of {{p|Cinderace}}, which Leon Gigantamaxed; however, Charizard returned to the match after Pikachu defeated Cinderace. Initially gaining the upper hand in battle, Charizard and Pikachu found themselves at their limits when Leon commanded Charizard to merge with its moves, thus gaining a power overload. After a violent exchange of blows between Pikachu and Charizard, it seemed that Charizard had finally managed to defeat his opponent. Still, Pikachu woke up with more force, and both Pokémon decided to define the last blow with all or nothing. With both Pokémon at their limit, Charizard was finally defeated after both collided with each other. After the battle, Charizard joined its Trainer in congratulating Ash and Pikachu on their battle and victory in the Masters Eight Tournament.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Leon and Charizard.png|thumb|right|250px|Charizard and Leon preparing to high five]]
As in the games, Charizard is Leon's ace, being used in virtually all of Leon's battles in the current [[World Coronation Series]] season without a single defeat until facing {{Ash}}. Charizard is also a powerful Pokémon, being able to defeat Pokémon belonging to {{pkmn|Champion}}s, such as [[Lance's Gyarados]] and [[Diantha's Gardevoir]]. Charizard is shown using a wide variety of moves, changing up its move set between battles to catch opponents off guard regardless of how much they prepared. After winning a battle, Charizard has a habit of firing a {{m|Flamethrower}} into the sky.

Charizard is very close with Leon, as seen when it gave its {{pkmn|Trainer}} a high five after their victory over Lance. Charizard has been shown to share many of its Trainer's personality traits, as seen in ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', where Charizard was having fun during flight training with Leon and Ash. In addition, Leon has a car modeled after Charizard.

As Leon's first partner Pokémon, Charizard has been with him since the beginning of his {{pkmn|journey}} and was present at different times in his Trainer's life. Leon often uses Charizard as a means of transport to get around between places. According to Leon in ''[[JN127|Just a Scone's Throw From Here!]]'', he relies on Charizard to help him with his his poor sense of direction.

Charizard is also protective of other Pokémon, as seen in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', when it shielded [[Ash's Lucario]] and [[Goh's Cinderace]] from {{p|Eternatus}}, resulting in it taking damage.

This was used in the final clash between Charizard and {{AP|Pikachu}} in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals.

[[File:Leon Gigantamax Charizard Twilight Wings.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard Gigantamaxed in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
Charizard appeared in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where it and [[Leon]] battled [[Bea]] and her {{p|Machamp}} in a televised battle in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. The {{pkmn|Champion}} and his partner eventually emerged victorious. Charizard later appeared with Leon in a brief flashback Chairman [[Rose]] had while meeting {{gal|John}}, a fan of Leon's.

In ''[[TW02|Training]]'', Bea thought she saw Charizard in the [[Wild Area]], only to realize it was actually a {{p|Rhydon}}. In ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', [[Hop]] watched a recording of one of Leon's battles with Charizard.

In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Charizard was Leon's last Pokémon in his battle against [[Raihan]], going up against his [[Gigantamax]]ed {{p|Duraludon}}. Charizard unleashed a {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}; however, Duraludon held back the inferno with {{m|Max Guard}}.

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', Leon used Charizard in a battle against [[Mustard]]'s {{p|Mienshao}}. The battle was well-balanced, and Mustard called it off before either Pokémon could deal much damage.

Before the events of ''[[PE01|The Champion]]'', Leon used Charizard as a last resort to face {{p|Eternatus}}. However, Leon failed to capture the Gigantic Pokémon, and Charizard was taken out of commission protecting {{ga|Victor}} and [[Hop]]. During preparations for the Championship match against Victor, Charizard tried to lift Leon's spirits, as he was still shaken from the previous battle.

====Personality and characteristics====
Similar to its counterpart in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Charizard is protective of others, putting itself at risk to protect [[Hop]] and {{ga|Victor}}. Charizard is also seen to have a strong bond with his Trainer.

Charizard is kept in an [[Ultra Ball]].

=====Pre-series=====
[[PASS24|Prior]] to the events of the {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}, Leon used Charizard in his battle for the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] of [[Galar]]. This battle had such an impact on [[Sonia]] that she decided to pursue a new purpose in her life.

====={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}=====
Charizard first appeared in ''[[PASS02|Crackle!! Practice Battle]]'', where it helped [[Leon]] herd a flock of {{p|Wooloo}}.

In ''[[PASS22|Grrr!! Noble Kidnappers]]'', Charizard was seen with Leon as he carried an unconscious Sonia. Shortly thereafter, [[Raihan]] borrowed Charizard to transport an injured {{tc|Cabbie}} to a hospital in [[Hammerlocke]].

In ''[[PASS26|Cracked!! The Rusted Sword and Shield]]'', Leon used Charizard to battle [[Dynamax]] Pokémon that were rampaging due to the [[Darkest Day]]. When {{p|Eternatus}} finally awakened and went out of control, Charizard teamed up with Pokémon from other [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to fight it, but was easily defeated.

In [[PASS38]], Charizard was seen being used by Leon to fly him and [[Marvin]] across the [[Isle of Armor]].

In [[PASS41]], Charizard battled against Eternatus again, but was easily overwhelmed.

=====Moves used=====
Charizard is implied to know a {{type|Fire}} attack due to the use of {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}.

[[File:Leon Charizard JNM.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys}}]]
====History====
In ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]'', Charizard defeated {{an|Lance}} and his {{TP|Lance|Gyarados}} during the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]].

In ''[[JNM05|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Leon used Charizard in a battle against {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it defeated [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}} in another World Coronation Series match.

In ''[[JNM13|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]'', Leon used Charizard to help Ash solve the Pokémon cases that were out of control in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. Later, Leon and Charizard teamed up with Ash and [[Goh]]'s Pokémon to stop the [[Darkest Day]].

Multi Battle

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Multi Battle.png|thumb|300px|Fighting two {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), usually referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Starting with [[Generation III]], Multi Battles occur when the {{player}} has teamed up with another Trainer. If the player has teamed up with another Trainer as part of the storyline, their Pokémon total as well as that of their opponents may exceed the limit of six Pokémon per team imposed by [[party]] restrictions for other types of [[Pokémon battle]].

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], Multi Battles allow a player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] a Pokémon even if their partner has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VII]], like with Mega Evolution, a player may use a [[Z-Move]] even if their teammate has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VIII]], each team may only [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] once per battle. Each turn, only one specific player from each team is given the opportunity to Dynamax a Pokémon; if a player skips their opportunity to use Dynamax, then their teammate will get the opportunity to on the next turn.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
[[File:Battle Commanders.png|thumb|220px|A Multi Battle in Generation IV]]
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This is the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation V]], Multi Battles can be conducted through the IR section of the [[C-Gear]], and you can select an opponent and pair with somebody through the IR function.

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{incomplete|section|Foes not targeted have a chance of not moving (i.e. "looking around"). How does this mechanic work?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Multi Battles work much differently than they do in other games. The player will always be restricted to using one Pokémon at a time, while facing off against several foes simultaneously. In the wild, this can happen if the player initiates a battle while being targeted by multiple wild Pokémon. In certain Trainer battles, the opponent will send out all of their Pokémon at once.

In addition, there are no moves that can target multiple foes. Unlike in previous games, moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Bulldoze}} can only hit one target per turn.

Since the Version 1.1.0 update, there are several challenges that may involve testing the player's skill in Multi Battles, which are available after completing Request 102: Daybreak.
* In the [[Path of Solitude]], [[Ingo]] will send out three Pokémon if the player uses {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, or {{p|Arceus}}.
* In the [[Path of Tenacity]], a challenge against the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]] involve completing three consecutive Multi Battles.
* In the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the player may face off against two or three foes at once in a Multi Battle.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====[[Original series]]====
{{Ash}} has been involved in many "illegal" Tag Battles conducted by {{TRT}} throughout the [[original series]], long before the concept was introduced to the {{pkmn|games}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Ash has his first official Tag Battle when he teamed up with {{an|May}} to battle against [[Oscar and Andi]]. At first, Ash had gotten into an argument with May but ended up making up with her and becoming in sync with her during battle.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} ready for a Tag Battle]]
In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} had their first Tag Battle together, facing off against [[Ryan and Bryan]]. They initially had trouble working in sync, but after both of them acknowledged their flaws, their teamwork improved and they managed to defeat the twin brothers in a rematch.

From ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Hearthome City]] had its own special tournament known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Tag teams are chosen randomly, with each Trainer receiving a card with a number on it and partnering with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. The tournament was entered by Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who were respectively paired with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]]. Ash and Paul managed to win the tournament despite working very poorly together.

In ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', while visiting [[Emeragrove Town]], Ash and Dawn paired up to battle [[James]] and [[Gardenia]]. Using their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} against [[James's Cacnea]] and Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}}, they won the match.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Ash and {{an|Brock}} went up against the owners of the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash and [[Nanette]] battled against {{an|Iris}} and Cilan, though the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket in their attempt to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Tierno}} partnered up against {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Shauna}}, but the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]], and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Misty}}, while {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Lillie}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Brock}}. However, both of these battles were called off.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} had a Multi Battle against [[Sterling]] and [[Lyla]] at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], competing for the right to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. Goh and Gary's teamwork eventually prevailed, allowing them to challenge the [[legendary giants]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
In this series theyre referred to as Multi Battles rather than Tag Battles of prior series.

[[File:HZ043.png|thumb|250px|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] against [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]]]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', [[Orla]] and [[Murdock]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Rockruff}}, respectively, against [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who used {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Golduck}}. Despite doing their best, they were defeated by their opponents.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, respectively, against [[Kabu]] and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}, who used {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{p|Rolycoly}}, at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. Roy ended up being defeated by Kabu, while Liko forfeited despite doing well, much to everyone's surprise.

In ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Yuno]] and [[Renta]], who used their respective {{p|Oinkologne}}, in [[Pigton Town]], though, the results remain unknown.

From [[HZ055]] to [[HZ056]], [[Naranja Academy]] organized the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], an event where [[Terastal Training]] students joined their assigned [[Gym Leader]]s from the first phase of training to have friendly battles against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]].

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Tag Battles have been featured in a few [[Pokémon movie]]s as well.

In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{Ash}} visited the [[LaRousse City]] [[Battle Tower]] where he battled alongside [[Tory Lund|Tory]] against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]]. Due to Tory's fear of Pokémon and lack of battling experience, he and Ash ended up losing the match.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} defeated [[Kiko]] and [[Kato]] using their {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} against a {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Heracross}}.

[[File:Mars Jupiter Tag Battle Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|[[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] ready for a Multi Battle]]
In ''[[PE05|The Rival]]'', {{ga|Barry}} and {{ga|Lucas}} had a Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] at the [[Spear Pillar]]. Using their {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Infernape}} against [[Mars's Purugly]] and Jupiter's {{p|Skuntank}}, they won the match.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Multi Battle Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The first official Multi Battle was featured in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} took on [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Although they were able to defeat the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, they were unable to retrieve the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from them before they could merge with their holders.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS289|Surprised by Sneasel]]'' and ''[[PS290|A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff]]'', {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} faced [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of [[Team Rocket]] in a Multi Battle in [[Viridian City]]. Orm's {{p|Jumpluff}} surrounded the two [[Pokédex holder]]s with a cloud of spores that could cause any kind of [[status condition]], making it impossible for them to send out a Pokémon without it getting a status condition the instant it came out. Yellow, however, used her ability to control the [[Poké Ball]] at the end of her fishing line to move her {{p|Omastar}}, [[Omny]], outside of the spore cloud and then unleash it to use {{m|Blizzard}}, instantly {{status|freezing}} both Jumpluff and the spores. As the two Team Rocket members then kidnapped Silver and escaped with him, the battle was left unresolved.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} battled and defeated {{tc|Gentleman}} Leonardo and {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} Rebecca at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]].

In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battled two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]]. While Riley and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} were temporarily incapacitated by the Roughnecks blinding them and disabling their [[Aura]] sense with their {{p|Mothim}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, Diamond was able to handle the two opponents by himself and stop Mothim from using Air Slash, allowing Riley to reenter the battle and deal the finishing blow.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} teamed up in a Multi Battle against Archie and Maxie, with all four Trainers utilizing [[Mega Evolution]]. Although Red and Green [[PS608|eventually]] won the battle, Archie and Maxie still succeeded in making {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} undergo [[Primal Reversion]] in the meantime.

In the aforementioned chapter, Ruby and Emerald also briefly engaged [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} in a Multi Battle, but they were soon caught in Blaise's {{p|Slugma}}'s illusions, allowing the villains to slip away.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Ash Goh Tag Battle JNM.png|thumb|300px|A Tag Battle in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] participated in a Tag Battle against [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]] in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]''. The two managed to defeat the villains after their {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Raboot}} evolved into {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, respectively.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside {{Steven}} in {{game|Emerald}}, his Pokémon are shown to gain [[experience]] after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of later [[generation]]s.
** If the player brings a team of three Pokémon that all use {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then all experience will be granted to Steven's Metang. If this is performed on all opposing Pokémon in this battle, then Steven's Metang can earn enough experience to level up once. If a cheating device is used to level up Metang enough so it will evolve after the battle, it will trigger the evolution screen where the player can watch it evolve into a {{p|Metagross}}. Doing so will register Metagross as "caught" by the player if it hasn't been up to this point.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.
** Having the player's party be defeated in the Multi Battle with Steven will cause the player to [[black out|white out]] whenever or not Steven still has Pokémon left. This was also changed in [[Generation IV]], where a white-out will not occur until both the player's and the partner's Pokémon are all knocked out.
** The player and Steven are both limited to three Pokémon each, unlike later generations where the player and all allies can combine their teams to use more than six Pokémon in total. Defeating Steven's Pokémon also rewards experience for the player and they can use items on his Pokémon. This is not possible in later generations.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in all the [[Sinnoh]]-based games and the battle against [[Flint]] and [[Volkner]] in {{game|Platinum}} have the potential to be twelve-on-six fights, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full [[party]].

==Plot==
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are doing some shopping. [[Liko]], [[Orla]], and [[Mollie]] have just finished buying their portion of the shopping list when they find [[Roy]] and [[Friede]] waiting in line for a limited-set {{p|Wiglett}} sweet buns, with only 30 boxes of it being available per day. Mollie says they are free to continue waiting as long as they've completed shopping everything they were supposed to. Awkwardly, Friede and Roy make it clear they haven't done so yet, so they head out to shop, while Mollie asks Liko to make sure that Roy doesn't waste his money. Outside the town, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] have arrived as well, with Coral having promised her fellow admin that there's something very important to be found here. She disguises herself to avoid being recognized as a member of the [[Explorers]] before heading out, leaving her partner awkwardly looking after her.

Just as Liko and Roy complete their shoppings, Liko notices a hunched-over {{OBP|old man|HZ043}}, scowling in a way that intimidates her. Roy, however, realizes that the old man must've thrown his back, so he and Liko help him aboard his cart and take him to his destination while {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} gives him a back massage, making him feel better. A young man approaches them and says that they can now open their shop. As thanks for helping him, the old man gives the children a boxful of the coveted Wiglett sweet buns, as he actually works at the shop that sells them. The buns are made of local sea salt and red bean paste, covered in white chocolate imported all the way from the [[Kalos]] [[region]] to give it the appearance of a Wiglett. Being assured that this box is not one of the 30 boxes to be sold today, Liko and Roy happily accept it as the two men leave. Meanwhile, aboard the [[Brave Olivine]], {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} is demanding {{pkmn|food}} from [[Dot]], but she's busy at the moment. Dejectedly, Tinkatink leaves the room to instead get food from [[Murdock]], who's feeding the other Pokémon on the deck. After getting her food, Tinkatink tries to move elsewhere to eat it, but she trips, spilling her food over the edge of the airship. Tinkatink is on the verge of crying, but {{an|Terapagos}} walks up to her, knowing a place where she can get more food.

Back in town, Coral is waiting in line for the Wiglett sweet buns just as the store opens. Counting herself as the 30th person in the queue, she's sure she'll get a box, but unfortunately for her, the last box instead goes to the {{p|Cutiefly}} in front of her, which had come to pick it up for an errand. Coral is enraged, but despite her protests, she's thrown out of that store as it is closed for the day. Her state of disbelief ends up being short-lived when Liko and Roy walk past with their box of buns, commenting on how they had gotten it without having to wait just by being nice to someone. Outraged by the children having gotten a bun box without having to wait in line while she's been left with nothing, Coral swears to make them pay. Back at that airship, [[Ludlow]]'s {{p|Quagsire}} shares some of its [[Pecha Berry|Pecha Berries]] with Tinkatink, who, in turn, brings them to Dot's room to share with {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}, earning a compliment from Dot.

Liko and Roy head back to the airship, but just before they can reach it, Roy notices that {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} has wandered off. He quickly finds his partner, only to spot a letter attached to Fuecoco's back. Despite the handwriting being hard to read, Roy is able to make out what it says. The letter's sender claims they stole something important and demands to meet them at the nearby "{{p|Snorlax}} Rock". Roy, having heard of old-style challenge letters from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}, figures this must be one, and heads out to the Snorlax Rock, followed by Liko. At the designated spot, Coral is waiting for them and demands they hand over the Wiglett sweet bun box they "stole". While Roy denies them having stolen anything, Liko agrees to share a bun and opens the box. This, however, ends up only making Coral even angrier, because she had wanted the box due to it being a limited item, meaning that opening it has completely ruined its value for her. Enraged, she sends out her {{p|Glalie}} and removes her disguise, allowing Liko and Roy to [[HZ025|recognize]] her as a member of the Explorers. Liko wants to call Friede for help, but Roy feels ready to fight on his own, as his Fuecoco has a [[type]] advantage over Glalie. Before the {{pkmn|battle}} can begin, though, Sidian and his {{p|Garganacl}} enter the scene as well, much to Coral's annoyance. Noticing the children from the Rising Volt Tacklers, he decides to take the chance to deal with them. Coral immediately claims Roy as her opponent, so Sidian settles on challenging Liko, leaving Liko in disbelief of how a box of Wiglett sweet buns could've led them to this situation.

Having no choice but to battle, Liko orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Garganacl does not even flinch from being hit. Fuecoco tries to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Glalie easily dodges and counters with {{m|Blizzard}}, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} Fuecoco solid. Sprigatito, meanwhile, manages to avoid a {{m|Salt Cure}} from Garganacl and hit it with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, though the sturdy {{t|Rock}} type still remains unflinching from the attack and continues attacking with Salt Cure, ultimately cornering Sprigatito between itself and the Snorlax Rock. Coral orders Glalie to use {{m|Crunch}} on the frozen Fuecoco, but Roy's partner manages to thaw himself out before he can be hit, much to Coral's disbelief, though she soon starts laughing when Fuecoco slips on the icy ground left behind by Blizzard. Further Flamethrowers also fail to make contact, after which Glalie attacks Fuecoco with multiple {{m|Ice Spinner}}s, leaving Roy desperate to come up with a counterattack.

Having Sprigatito cornered, Sidian declares that his next attack won't miss and orders another Salt Cure. Liko, though, manages to avoid the attack by having Sprigatito use Quick Attack and dive out of the attack's way by jumping through between Garganacl's legs, before unleashing a Magical Leaf at it from behind. This, though, ends up only providing a smokescreen for Garganacl, allowing it to grab Sprigatito and finally hit her with a close-range Salt Cure, before tossing the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} aside. However, despite being hurt by Salt Cure's salt crystals, Sprigatito still refuses to give up and stands back up. Powered by her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]], Sprigatito is able to counter Garganacl's {{m|Stone Edge}} and actually land a hit on it with Magical Leaf. Roy, meanwhile, notices Fuecoco's frustrated stomps cracking the ice beneath him, so he has him use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. The shattered ice produced by the attack throws the spinning Glalie off-balance and sends it flying at Garganacl, finally dealing a proper hit on it. Sidian is impressed, but then declares that playtime is over, and he and Coral intend to get serious. Before they have a chance to do so, though, Sidian receives an alert and immediately [[recall]]s Garganacl, telling an annoyed Coral that they have more important things to do. Coral protests that she hates it on the island and that they can summon the [[Black Rayquaza]] later. Sidian berates Coral for blurting out their plans to capture Rayquaza in front of the two children and calls out his {{p|Aerodactyl}}, pulling Coral away when she intends to continue the fight, much to her irritation.

Having narrowly survived their encounter with the admins, Liko calls Friede and tells him what they just learned. Friede soon arrives on the scene in-person, asking for further details on where the Explorers headed. Based on their clue about an island and the [[HZ042|earlier photo]] featuring a tower built by some suspicious people, Friede decides to investigate said tower and island, telling Liko and Roy to return to the airship while he does so. With Roy sharing some buns with [[Captain Pikachu]] and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as they head out, Liko can't help but feel an uncomfortable sensation of uneasiness within her chest.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''"What does {{p|Glalie}} protect itself with?"''
** Choices: A sword, a shield, with armor
** Answer: With armor
* For the initial airing of this episode, Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar was replaced by a special trailer announcing the climax of the ''Pocket Monsters: The Sparkling of Terapagos'' chapter and the beginning of the next chapter, ''Pocket Monsters: Terastal Debut''. [https://youtu.be/c2lCtqtQSQU This trailer] was later uploaded to the Japanese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Sidian]] and his {{p|Garganacl}}, and the second features [[Coral]] and her {{p|Glalie}}.
* This episode marks the first time that a [[first partner Pokémon]] owned by a main character has had its [[Ability]] confirmed in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since [[Clemont's Chespin]] was revealed to have {{a|Overgrow}} as its Ability in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', 461 episodes earlier.
* This is the third episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' to have its [[Pokémon in Indonesia|Indonesian]] [[dub]] released before the English dub, being released on August 31, 2024.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TakAdb2UG2M</ref>

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version, the coveted snack is called "Sea Digdaman", a pun on {{p|Wiglett}}'s Japanese name (Umidigda, literally "Sea {{p|Diglett}}") and {{wp|manjū}}. In the dub, they're simply called Wiglett sweet buns.

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Male Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''; in [[Generation I]], also known as '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'') and debuted in [[Generation I]]; female Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') and debuted in [[Generation II]]. From Generations II to IV, the Trainer classes were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. Swimmers specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. They are usually found in the sea.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were replaced with Swimmer♀. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] they remained Beauties like in Pokémon Yellow, but the Beauties who appear on these routes wear swimsuits.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]] have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis and sometimes carrying beach balls.

===Main series===
In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', multiple female Swimmers were among the audience spectating the [[Friendship Festival]].

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', a male Swimmer was seen on a beach, dedicated to keeping it clean with his partner {{p|Trubbish}}. He followed [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] around the beach for most of the episode, giving them exposition on {{p|Palafin}} and the [[Ludlow|Mighty G]]. He specifically stated his name was actually Swimmer.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Swimmer Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|A Swimmer in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
A Swimmer first appeared in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You’re Snorlax!]]'', participating in the [[Bicycle]] race, during which he was impeded by a [[Snor]]lax sleeping in an inconvenient spot.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
The Swimmer reappeared in ''[[PS060|Breath of the Dragonair Part 1]]'' and ''[[PS061|Breath of the Dragonair Part 2]]'', where he broke his leg before a surfing contest and lent {{adv|Yellow}} his {{p|Slowpoke}}. A Q&A section of the Netkun website once revealed this Swimmer's name as Akinori.

[[File:Swimmer F Adventures.png|thumb|100px|A female Swimmer in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

Swimmer {{adv|Jack}} debuted in this arc, trying to look for a {{p|Feebas}}.

In ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} faced a virtual female Swimmer as his second battle at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
A male Swimmer was seen amongst the Trainers entering {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]''. In the [[PS512|following chapter]], he was shown with a {{p|Seismitoad}}, but was defeated by [[Leo]]'s {{p|Deino}}, eliminating him from the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament.

==Trivia==
* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Black and White|s}}, a female Swimmer claims that the place in her bikini where she stores her Poké Balls is a "woman's secret": 「ビキニのわたしがどこにモンスターボールをしまうのか？フフフ…… {{ruby|女|おんな}}の {{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 However, this was changed in the English version: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''
* In [[Pokémon GO]], "Swimmer" is the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for catching at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* The male and blond female swimmers from Alola were designed by [[TOKIYA]].<ref name=twitter> TOKIYA's deleted tweet [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613214429/https://twitter.com/TOKIYA/status/801625547100958720]</ref>

Roserade57: Undo revision 4109633 by Roserade57 (talk)

== Speech ==
His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3Cs7WyAxE Japanese trailer] has a lot more dialog from him than the English version. One immediately obvious character trait is that he speaks in an ''extremely'' casual style for a man of his age and position. The lone English line of his in the US/UK trailer shows its maintained in the English text. This seems a prominent enough character trait to add to the page. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] ([[User talk:Deuxhero|talk]]) 00:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

== Kukui's Rockruff ==

He was shown to own a Rockruff today in footage from Pokenchi. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 23:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
:It looks like it could very easily have just been a clip from the game's intro. I.e., that'd be like saying Sycamore [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t12aJ2WjVCg&t=45s owns a Gogoat]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::wait... why don't we say Sycamore owns a Gogoat? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 16:14, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::...Why should we? It happens in every game. And is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows any of the professors with the intro Pokemon again? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::Is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows the Old Man from Kanto's Weedle again? Or Calem/Serena's Bunnelby that they catch in the tutorial? But those are listed.
::::Even if we make a unique section for "in opening" like how Calem/Serena have "Caught in tutorial", it should be mentioned somewhere. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::::I'm really not sure about that... Go back and watch Sycamore's intro. Are you gonna tell me that's part of the "real (Pokemon) world"? At the end, you go through a door of light in the middle of the room. It's just an abstract thing. I don't think hardly ''any'' of the intros make strict sense (especially the professors' dialogue) if you try to imagine it as actually happening "for real". Maybe ORAS, but it's still presented in a relatively unique circumstance.
:::::The catching tutorials are not even remotely the same thing. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::::Alright, but why is there something wrong with keeping it in a separate section like "Shown in opening" or something? That makes it clear that it isn't in the rest of the game, and if readers want to believe that those scenes are canon and the professors own that Pokemon, then they can. If they want to believe they don't really own that Pokemon, they can do that too.
::::::It's also worth noting that Juniper's Minccino does appear outside of the opening, but I'm pretty sure she's the only one, so it probably isn't enough to say that every professor is the same. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 03:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Personally, I just don't think anything like that is necessary. (For mostly the reasons I expressed above.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:12, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:He uses the Rockruff in the demo version to show you how to catch pokemon.--[[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] ([[User talk:Lego3400|talk]]) 16:35, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

== Kukui's Demo Version Dialogues ==

So out of boredom, I decided to collect all of Kukui's dialogue in the game before realizing that I don't have the authority to edit this page yet. I gathered them all in the pastebin [http://pastebin.com/MptRMscK here], and coded them already to the usual character dialogue style. I hope anyone finds this useful. --[[User:Aozora210|Aozora210]] ([[User talk:Aozora210|talk]]) 21:12, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
:It's very useful and it has been added to the page. Thank you! --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 21:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name version and starter pokemon ==

Professor Kukui is the first and only professor to not change the name from japanese version to the US version, also he is the first professor to not give the player his/her starter pokémon or having someone related to him(like an assistant) do it.[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 10:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

== Primarina's gender ==
Right now, Kukui's Primarina's gender is shown as male. But I'm defending my title against Kukui right now and his Primarina is female. Is there a possibility, that his Pokémon can be of either gender (retaining their gender on subsequent battles, of course)? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 10:40, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

==Spoilers?==

Is it worth putting a spoiler tag on the story part of the article? Personally I found it more exciting when I didn't know who I was going to face in the final battle. [[User:BobBot321|BobBot321]] ([[User talk:BobBot321|talk]]) 20:39, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Gen 1 Reference ==
Is the fact you have to challenge him as the final boss of the game being very similar to the glitch Oak battle in gen 1 worth trivia? Or since it is only speculation Oak was going to be the final boss (considering his team changed based off of your starter and had levels higher than Blue) make that suspect? [[User:TsukikoKoizumi|TsukikoKoizumi]] ([[User talk:TsukikoKoizumi|talk]]) 09:53, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

==Masked Royal==
Like with Sam, why don't we have a page for the MR? the Sam page exists so there's no "spoilers", even though it tells you they're the same like with Sam. Surely this should be the same for the Masked Royal? (and it technically doesn't even tell you they're the same person) https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Sam [[User:Muur1234|Muur1234]] ([[User talk:Muur1234|talk]]) 01:03, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
:Sam's true identity is a legitimate spoiler because it's only revealed at the end of the movie, and only in the dub since the original version only vaguely teases it. The Masked Royal's identity is never treated as anything more than a joke. One of the first things you can say to the Royal when you meet him is, "Professor?" There's no real point in making a spoiler page if the game itself doesn't treat it like a spoiler. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:30, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

== The claim that he was defeated by Lance ==

Where does this claim come from? I haven't been able to find a line of dialogue in the games that support it. It's only implied he fought Lance after the Kanto gym leaders. [[User:SlothFacts|SlothFacts]] ([[User talk:SlothFacts|talk]]) 02:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

==Fighting him at the Battle Royal==
Is fighting him at the Battle Royal simply an extremely rare occurrence or is it a "random" event that can be triggered by certain criteria, like Faba/Lusamine in the Title Defense? --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] ([[User talk:The Great Butler|talk]]) 20:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

==To link or not to link==

I don't know whether to add a link to the Pokémon World page where it says world in the first section. [[User:PLMMJ|PLMMJ]] ([[User talk:PLMMJ|talk]]) 03:35, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Multi Battle

2024-09-10T22:32:27Z

Roserade57: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Multi Battle.png|thumb|300px|Fighting two {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), usually referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Starting with [[Generation III]], Multi Battles occur when the {{player}} has teamed up with another Trainer. If the player has teamed up with another Trainer as part of the storyline, their Pokémon total as well as that of their opponents may exceed the limit of six Pokémon per team imposed by [[party]] restrictions for other types of [[Pokémon battle]].

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], Multi Battles allow a player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] a Pokémon even if their partner has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VII]], like with Mega Evolution, a player may use a [[Z-Move]] even if their teammate has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VIII]], each team may only [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] once per battle. Each turn, only one specific player from each team is given the opportunity to Dynamax a Pokémon; if a player skips their opportunity to use Dynamax, then their teammate will get the opportunity to on the next turn.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
[[File:Battle Commanders.png|thumb|220px|A Multi Battle in Generation IV]]
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This is the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation V]], Multi Battles can be conducted through the IR section of the [[C-Gear]], and you can select an opponent and pair with somebody through the IR function.

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===Battle facilities===
Since {{game|Emerald}}, Multi Battles have been possible in [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

* In Emerald, in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either an [[Non-player character|NPC]] (including the [[apprentice]]) or a friend via [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]]
* In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, in the {{si|Battle Tower}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with one of the [[stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Marley]], and [[Buck]]). In Sinnoh, these partner Trainers will only appear after the player finishes exploring with them in their areas.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}.
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, in the [[Battle Maison]] during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via 3DS Wireless Communication, an NPC avatar of another player on the player's Friend List, or with [[Tierno]], [[Trevor]], or [[Shauna]].

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{incomplete|section|Foes not targeted have a chance of not moving (i.e. "looking around"). How does this mechanic work?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Multi Battles work much differently than they do in other games. The player will always be restricted to using one Pokémon at a time, while facing off against several foes simultaneously. In the wild, this can happen if the player initiates a battle while being targeted by multiple wild Pokémon. In certain Trainer battles, the opponent will send out all of their Pokémon at once.

In addition, there are no moves that can target multiple foes. Unlike in previous games, moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Bulldoze}} can only hit one target per turn.

Since the Version 1.1.0 update, there are several challenges that may involve testing the player's skill in Multi Battles, which are available after completing Request 102: Daybreak.
* In the [[Path of Solitude]], [[Ingo]] will send out three Pokémon if the player uses {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, or {{p|Arceus}}.
* In the [[Path of Tenacity]], a challenge against the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]] involve completing three consecutive Multi Battles.
* In the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the player may face off against two or three foes at once in a Multi Battle.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====[[Original series]]====
{{Ash}} has been involved in many "illegal" Tag Battles conducted by {{TRT}} throughout the [[original series]], long before the concept was introduced to the {{pkmn|games}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Ash has his first official Tag Battle when he teamed up with {{an|May}} to battle against [[Oscar and Andi]]. At first, Ash had gotten into an argument with May but ended up making up with her and becoming in sync with her during battle.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} ready for a Tag Battle]]
In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} had their first Tag Battle together, facing off against [[Ryan and Bryan]]. They initially had trouble working in sync, but after both of them acknowledged their flaws, their teamwork improved and they managed to defeat the twin brothers in a rematch.

From ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Hearthome City]] had its own special tournament known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Tag teams are chosen randomly, with each Trainer receiving a card with a number on it and partnering with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. The tournament was entered by Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who were respectively paired with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]]. Ash and Paul managed to win the tournament despite working very poorly together.

In ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', while visiting [[Emeragrove Town]], Ash and Dawn paired up to battle [[James]] and [[Gardenia]]. Using their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} against [[James's Cacnea]] and Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}}, they won the match.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Tierno}} partnered up against {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Shauna}}, but the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]], and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Misty}}, while {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Lillie}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Brock}}. However, both of these battles were called off.

Goh and Gary's teamwork eventually prevailed, allowing them to challenge the [[legendary giants]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
In this series theyre referred to as Multi Battles rather than Tag Battles of prior series.

[[File:HZ043.png|thumb|250px|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] against [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]]]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', [[Orla]] and [[Murdock]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Rockruff}}, respectively, against [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who used {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Golduck}}. Despite doing their best, they were defeated by their opponents.

Roy ended up being defeated by Kabu, while Liko forfeited despite doing well, much to everyone's surprise.

In ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Yuno]] and [[Renta]], who used their respective {{p|Oinkologne}}, in [[Pigton Town]], though, the results remain unknown.

In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who used {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Garganacl}}. The battle was interrupted when the two [[Explorers]] admins received a call urging them to go back to fulfilling their top-priority mission.

From [[HZ055]] to [[HZ056]], [[Naranja Academy]] organized the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], an event where [[Terastal Training]] students joined their assigned [[Gym Leader]]s from the first phase of training to have friendly battles against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]].

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Tag Battles have been featured in a few [[Pokémon movie]]s as well.

In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{Ash}} visited the [[LaRousse City]] [[Battle Tower]] where he battled alongside [[Tory Lund|Tory]] against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]]. Due to Tory's fear of Pokémon and lack of battling experience, he and Ash ended up losing the match.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} defeated [[Kiko]] and [[Kato]] using their {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} against a {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Heracross}}.

{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Multi Battle Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The first official Multi Battle was featured in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} took on [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Although they were able to defeat the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, they were unable to retrieve the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from them before they could merge with their holders.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS289|Surprised by Sneasel]]'' and ''[[PS290|A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff]]'', {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} faced [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of [[Team Rocket]] in a Multi Battle in [[Viridian City]]. Orm's {{p|Jumpluff}} surrounded the two [[Pokédex holder]]s with a cloud of spores that could cause any kind of [[status condition]], making it impossible for them to send out a Pokémon without it getting a status condition the instant it came out. Yellow, however, used her ability to control the [[Poké Ball]] at the end of her fishing line to move her {{p|Omastar}}, [[Omny]], outside of the spore cloud and then unleash it to use {{m|Blizzard}}, instantly {{status|freezing}} both Jumpluff and the spores. As the two Team Rocket members then kidnapped Silver and escaped with him, the battle was left unresolved.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} battled and defeated {{tc|Gentleman}} Leonardo and {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} Rebecca at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]].

In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battled two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]]. While Riley and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} were temporarily incapacitated by the Roughnecks blinding them and disabling their [[Aura]] sense with their {{p|Mothim}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, Diamond was able to handle the two opponents by himself and stop Mothim from using Air Slash, allowing Riley to reenter the battle and deal the finishing blow.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} teamed up in a Multi Battle against Archie and Maxie, with all four Trainers utilizing [[Mega Evolution]]. Although Red and Green [[PS608|eventually]] won the battle, Archie and Maxie still succeeded in making {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} undergo [[Primal Reversion]] in the meantime.

In the aforementioned chapter, Ruby and Emerald also briefly engaged [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} in a Multi Battle, but they were soon caught in Blaise's {{p|Slugma}}'s illusions, allowing the villains to slip away.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Ash Goh Tag Battle JNM.png|thumb|300px|A Tag Battle in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] participated in a Tag Battle against [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]] in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]''. The two managed to defeat the villains after their {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Raboot}} evolved into {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, respectively.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside {{Steven}} in {{game|Emerald}}, his Pokémon are shown to gain [[experience]] after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of later [[generation]]s.
** If the player brings a team of three Pokémon that all use {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then all experience will be granted to Steven's Metang. If this is performed on all opposing Pokémon in this battle, then Steven's Metang can earn enough experience to level up once. If a cheating device is used to level up Metang enough so it will evolve after the battle, it will trigger the evolution screen where the player can watch it evolve into a {{p|Metagross}}. Doing so will register Metagross as "caught" by the player if it hasn't been up to this point.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.
** Having the player's party be defeated in the Multi Battle with Steven will cause the player to [[black out|white out]] whenever or not Steven still has Pokémon left. This was also changed in [[Generation IV]], where a white-out will not occur until both the player's and the partner's Pokémon are all knocked out.
** The player and Steven are both limited to three Pokémon each, unlike later generations where the player and all allies can combine their teams to use more than six Pokémon in total. Defeating Steven's Pokémon also rewards experience for the player and they can use items on his Pokémon. This is not possible in later generations.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in all the [[Sinnoh]]-based games and the battle against [[Flint]] and [[Volkner]] in {{game|Platinum}} have the potential to be twelve-on-six fights, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full [[party]].

Multi Battle

2024-09-10T22:31:33Z

Roserade57: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Multi Battle.png|thumb|300px|Fighting two {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), usually referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Starting with [[Generation III]], Multi Battles occur when the {{player}} has teamed up with another Trainer. If the player has teamed up with another Trainer as part of the storyline, their Pokémon total as well as that of their opponents may exceed the limit of six Pokémon per team imposed by [[party]] restrictions for other types of [[Pokémon battle]].

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], Multi Battles allow a player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] a Pokémon even if their partner has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VII]], like with Mega Evolution, a player may use a [[Z-Move]] even if their teammate has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VIII]], each team may only [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] once per battle. Each turn, only one specific player from each team is given the opportunity to Dynamax a Pokémon; if a player skips their opportunity to use Dynamax, then their teammate will get the opportunity to on the next turn.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
[[File:Battle Commanders.png|thumb|220px|A Multi Battle in Generation IV]]
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This is the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation V]], Multi Battles can be conducted through the IR section of the [[C-Gear]], and you can select an opponent and pair with somebody through the IR function.

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===Battle facilities===
Since {{game|Emerald}}, Multi Battles have been possible in [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

* In Emerald, in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either an [[Non-player character|NPC]] (including the [[apprentice]]) or a friend via [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]]
* In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, in the {{si|Battle Tower}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with one of the [[stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Marley]], and [[Buck]]). In Sinnoh, these partner Trainers will only appear after the player finishes exploring with them in their areas.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}.
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, in the [[Battle Maison]] during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via 3DS Wireless Communication, an NPC avatar of another player on the player's Friend List, or with [[Tierno]], [[Trevor]], or [[Shauna]].

Additionally, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, they can also pair with [[Lillie]] after completing [[Episode RR]].

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{incomplete|section|Foes not targeted have a chance of not moving (i.e. "looking around"). How does this mechanic work?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Multi Battles work much differently than they do in other games. The player will always be restricted to using one Pokémon at a time, while facing off against several foes simultaneously. In the wild, this can happen if the player initiates a battle while being targeted by multiple wild Pokémon. In certain Trainer battles, the opponent will send out all of their Pokémon at once.

In addition, there are no moves that can target multiple foes. Unlike in previous games, moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Bulldoze}} can only hit one target per turn.

Since the Version 1.1.0 update, there are several challenges that may involve testing the player's skill in Multi Battles, which are available after completing Request 102: Daybreak.
* In the [[Path of Solitude]], [[Ingo]] will send out three Pokémon if the player uses {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, or {{p|Arceus}}.
* In the [[Path of Tenacity]], a challenge against the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]] involve completing three consecutive Multi Battles.
* In the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the player may face off against two or three foes at once in a Multi Battle.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====[[Original series]]====
{{Ash}} has been involved in many "illegal" Tag Battles conducted by {{TRT}} throughout the [[original series]], long before the concept was introduced to the {{pkmn|games}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Ash has his first official Tag Battle when he teamed up with {{an|May}} to battle against [[Oscar and Andi]]. At first, Ash had gotten into an argument with May but ended up making up with her and becoming in sync with her during battle.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} ready for a Tag Battle]]
In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} had their first Tag Battle together, facing off against [[Ryan and Bryan]]. They initially had trouble working in sync, but after both of them acknowledged their flaws, their teamwork improved and they managed to defeat the twin brothers in a rematch.

From ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Hearthome City]] had its own special tournament known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Tag teams are chosen randomly, with each Trainer receiving a card with a number on it and partnering with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. The tournament was entered by Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who were respectively paired with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]]. Ash and Paul managed to win the tournament despite working very poorly together.

In ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', while visiting [[Emeragrove Town]], Ash and Dawn paired up to battle [[James]] and [[Gardenia]]. Using their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} against [[James's Cacnea]] and Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}}, they won the match.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Ash and {{an|Brock}} went up against the owners of the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Tierno}} partnered up against {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Shauna}}, but the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]], and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Misty}}, while {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Lillie}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Brock}}. However, both of these battles were called off.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} had a Multi Battle against [[Sterling]] and [[Lyla]] at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], competing for the right to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. Goh and Gary's teamwork eventually prevailed, allowing them to challenge the [[legendary giants]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
In this series, the English dub refers to them as Multi Battles rather than Tag Battles of prior series.

[[File:HZ043.png|thumb|250px|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] against [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]]]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', [[Orla]] and [[Murdock]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Rockruff}}, respectively, against [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who used {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Golduck}}. Despite doing their best, they were defeated by their opponents.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, respectively, against [[Kabu]] and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}, who used {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{p|Rolycoly}}, at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. Roy ended up being defeated by Kabu, while Liko forfeited despite doing well, much to everyone's surprise.

In ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Yuno]] and [[Renta]], who used their respective {{p|Oinkologne}}, in [[Pigton Town]], though, the results remain unknown.

In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who used {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Garganacl}}. The battle was interrupted when the two [[Explorers]] admins received a call urging them to go back to fulfilling their top-priority mission.

From [[HZ055]] to [[HZ056]], [[Naranja Academy]] organized the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], an event where [[Terastal Training]] students joined their assigned [[Gym Leader]]s from the first phase of training to have friendly battles against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]].

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Tag Battles have been featured in a few [[Pokémon movie]]s as well.

In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{Ash}} visited the [[LaRousse City]] [[Battle Tower]] where he battled alongside [[Tory Lund|Tory]] against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]]. Due to Tory's fear of Pokémon and lack of battling experience, he and Ash ended up losing the match.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} defeated [[Kiko]] and [[Kato]] using their {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} against a {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Heracross}}.

{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Multi Battle Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The first official Multi Battle was featured in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} took on [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Although they were able to defeat the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, they were unable to retrieve the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from them before they could merge with their holders.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS289|Surprised by Sneasel]]'' and ''[[PS290|A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff]]'', {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} faced [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of [[Team Rocket]] in a Multi Battle in [[Viridian City]]. Orm's {{p|Jumpluff}} surrounded the two [[Pokédex holder]]s with a cloud of spores that could cause any kind of [[status condition]], making it impossible for them to send out a Pokémon without it getting a status condition the instant it came out. Yellow, however, used her ability to control the [[Poké Ball]] at the end of her fishing line to move her {{p|Omastar}}, [[Omny]], outside of the spore cloud and then unleash it to use {{m|Blizzard}}, instantly {{status|freezing}} both Jumpluff and the spores. As the two Team Rocket members then kidnapped Silver and escaped with him, the battle was left unresolved.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} battled and defeated {{tc|Gentleman}} Leonardo and {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} Rebecca at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]].

In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battled two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]]. While Riley and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} were temporarily incapacitated by the Roughnecks blinding them and disabling their [[Aura]] sense with their {{p|Mothim}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, Diamond was able to handle the two opponents by himself and stop Mothim from using Air Slash, allowing Riley to reenter the battle and deal the finishing blow.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} teamed up in a Multi Battle against Archie and Maxie, with all four Trainers utilizing [[Mega Evolution]]. Although Red and Green [[PS608|eventually]] won the battle, Archie and Maxie still succeeded in making {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} undergo [[Primal Reversion]] in the meantime.

In the aforementioned chapter, Ruby and Emerald also briefly engaged [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} in a Multi Battle, but they were soon caught in Blaise's {{p|Slugma}}'s illusions, allowing the villains to slip away.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Ash Goh Tag Battle JNM.png|thumb|300px|A Tag Battle in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] participated in a Tag Battle against [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]] in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]''. The two managed to defeat the villains after their {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Raboot}} evolved into {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, respectively.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside {{Steven}} in {{game|Emerald}}, his Pokémon are shown to gain [[experience]] after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of later [[generation]]s.
** If the player brings a team of three Pokémon that all use {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then all experience will be granted to Steven's Metang. If this is performed on all opposing Pokémon in this battle, then Steven's Metang can earn enough experience to level up once. If a cheating device is used to level up Metang enough so it will evolve after the battle, it will trigger the evolution screen where the player can watch it evolve into a {{p|Metagross}}. Doing so will register Metagross as "caught" by the player if it hasn't been up to this point.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.
** Having the player's party be defeated in the Multi Battle with Steven will cause the player to [[black out|white out]] whenever or not Steven still has Pokémon left. This was also changed in [[Generation IV]], where a white-out will not occur until both the player's and the partner's Pokémon are all knocked out.
** The player and Steven are both limited to three Pokémon each, unlike later generations where the player and all allies can combine their teams to use more than six Pokémon in total. Defeating Steven's Pokémon also rewards experience for the player and they can use items on his Pokémon. This is not possible in later generations.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in all the [[Sinnoh]]-based games and the battle against [[Flint]] and [[Volkner]] in {{game|Platinum}} have the potential to be twelve-on-six fights, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full [[party]].

Multi Battle

2024-09-10T22:30:03Z

Roserade57: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */ interesting how this series dub refers to them exclusively as multi battle it seems

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Multi Battle.png|thumb|300px|Fighting two {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), usually referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Starting with [[Generation III]], Multi Battles occur when the {{player}} has teamed up with another Trainer. If the player has teamed up with another Trainer as part of the storyline, their Pokémon total as well as that of their opponents may exceed the limit of six Pokémon per team imposed by [[party]] restrictions for other types of [[Pokémon battle]].

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], Multi Battles allow a player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] a Pokémon even if their partner has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VII]], like with Mega Evolution, a player may use a [[Z-Move]] even if their teammate has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VIII]], each team may only [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] once per battle. Each turn, only one specific player from each team is given the opportunity to Dynamax a Pokémon; if a player skips their opportunity to use Dynamax, then their teammate will get the opportunity to on the next turn.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
[[File:Battle Commanders.png|thumb|220px|A Multi Battle in Generation IV]]
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This is the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation V]], Multi Battles can be conducted through the IR section of the [[C-Gear]], and you can select an opponent and pair with somebody through the IR function.

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===Battle facilities===
Since {{game|Emerald}}, Multi Battles have been possible in [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

* In Emerald, in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either an [[Non-player character|NPC]] (including the [[apprentice]]) or a friend via [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]]
* In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, in the {{si|Battle Tower}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with one of the [[stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Marley]], and [[Buck]]). In Sinnoh, these partner Trainers will only appear after the player finishes exploring with them in their areas.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}.
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, in the [[Battle Maison]] during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via 3DS Wireless Communication, an NPC avatar of another player on the player's Friend List, or with [[Tierno]], [[Trevor]], or [[Shauna]].

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{incomplete|section|Foes not targeted have a chance of not moving (i.e. "looking around"). How does this mechanic work?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Multi Battles work much differently than they do in other games. The player will always be restricted to using one Pokémon at a time, while facing off against several foes simultaneously. In the wild, this can happen if the player initiates a battle while being targeted by multiple wild Pokémon. In certain Trainer battles, the opponent will send out all of their Pokémon at once.

In addition, there are no moves that can target multiple foes. Unlike in previous games, moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Bulldoze}} can only hit one target per turn.

Since the Version 1.1.0 update, there are several challenges that may involve testing the player's skill in Multi Battles, which are available after completing Request 102: Daybreak.
* In the [[Path of Solitude]], [[Ingo]] will send out three Pokémon if the player uses {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, or {{p|Arceus}}.
* In the [[Path of Tenacity]], a challenge against the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]] involve completing three consecutive Multi Battles.
* In the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the player may face off against two or three foes at once in a Multi Battle.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====[[Original series]]====
{{Ash}} has been involved in many "illegal" Tag Battles conducted by {{TRT}} throughout the [[original series]], long before the concept was introduced to the {{pkmn|games}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Ash has his first official Tag Battle when he teamed up with {{an|May}} to battle against [[Oscar and Andi]]. At first, Ash had gotten into an argument with May but ended up making up with her and becoming in sync with her during battle.

[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} ready for a Tag Battle]]
In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', Ash and {{an|Dawn}} had their first Tag Battle together, facing off against [[Ryan and Bryan]]. They initially had trouble working in sync, but after both of them acknowledged their flaws, their teamwork improved and they managed to defeat the twin brothers in a rematch.

From ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Hearthome City]] had its own special tournament known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Tag teams are chosen randomly, with each Trainer receiving a card with a number on it and partnering with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. The tournament was entered by Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who were respectively paired with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]]. Ash and Paul managed to win the tournament despite working very poorly together.

In ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', while visiting [[Emeragrove Town]], Ash and Dawn paired up to battle [[James]] and [[Gardenia]]. Using their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} against [[James's Cacnea]] and Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}}, they won the match.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Ash and {{an|Brock}} went up against the owners of the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]].

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]], and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Misty}}, while {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Lillie}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Brock}}. However, both of these battles were called off.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:HZ043.png|thumb|250px|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] against [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]]]]

Tag Battles have been featured in a few [[Pokémon movie]]s as well.

In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{Ash}} visited the [[LaRousse City]] [[Battle Tower]] where he battled alongside [[Tory Lund|Tory]] against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]]. Due to Tory's fear of Pokémon and lack of battling experience, he and Ash ended up losing the match.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Multi Battle Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The first official Multi Battle was featured in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} took on [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Although they were able to defeat the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, they were unable to retrieve the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from them before they could merge with their holders.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS289|Surprised by Sneasel]]'' and ''[[PS290|A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff]]'', {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} faced [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of [[Team Rocket]] in a Multi Battle in [[Viridian City]]. Orm's {{p|Jumpluff}} surrounded the two [[Pokédex holder]]s with a cloud of spores that could cause any kind of [[status condition]], making it impossible for them to send out a Pokémon without it getting a status condition the instant it came out. Yellow, however, used her ability to control the [[Poké Ball]] at the end of her fishing line to move her {{p|Omastar}}, [[Omny]], outside of the spore cloud and then unleash it to use {{m|Blizzard}}, instantly {{status|freezing}} both Jumpluff and the spores. As the two Team Rocket members then kidnapped Silver and escaped with him, the battle was left unresolved.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} battled and defeated {{tc|Gentleman}} Leonardo and {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} Rebecca at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]].

In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battled two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]]. While Riley and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} were temporarily incapacitated by the Roughnecks blinding them and disabling their [[Aura]] sense with their {{p|Mothim}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, Diamond was able to handle the two opponents by himself and stop Mothim from using Air Slash, allowing Riley to reenter the battle and deal the finishing blow.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} teamed up in a Multi Battle against Archie and Maxie, with all four Trainers utilizing [[Mega Evolution]]. Although Red and Green [[PS608|eventually]] won the battle, Archie and Maxie still succeeded in making {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} undergo [[Primal Reversion]] in the meantime.

In the aforementioned chapter, Ruby and Emerald also briefly engaged [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} in a Multi Battle, but they were soon caught in Blaise's {{p|Slugma}}'s illusions, allowing the villains to slip away.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Ash Goh Tag Battle JNM.png|thumb|300px|A Tag Battle in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] participated in a Tag Battle against [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]] in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]''. The two managed to defeat the villains after their {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Raboot}} evolved into {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, respectively.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside {{Steven}} in {{game|Emerald}}, his Pokémon are shown to gain [[experience]] after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of later [[generation]]s.
** If the player brings a team of three Pokémon that all use {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then all experience will be granted to Steven's Metang. If this is performed on all opposing Pokémon in this battle, then Steven's Metang can earn enough experience to level up once. If a cheating device is used to level up Metang enough so it will evolve after the battle, it will trigger the evolution screen where the player can watch it evolve into a {{p|Metagross}}. Doing so will register Metagross as "caught" by the player if it hasn't been up to this point.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.
** Having the player's party be defeated in the Multi Battle with Steven will cause the player to [[black out|white out]] whenever or not Steven still has Pokémon left. This was also changed in [[Generation IV]], where a white-out will not occur until both the player's and the partner's Pokémon are all knocked out.
** The player and Steven are both limited to three Pokémon each, unlike later generations where the player and all allies can combine their teams to use more than six Pokémon in total. Defeating Steven's Pokémon also rewards experience for the player and they can use items on his Pokémon. This is not possible in later generations.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in all the [[Sinnoh]]-based games and the battle against [[Flint]] and [[Volkner]] in {{game|Platinum}} have the potential to be twelve-on-six fights, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full [[party]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]
Liko was born in the [[Kanto]] region, and lived there with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]], for a few years. At some point, they moved to the [[Paldea]] region — with Liko then growing up in [[Cabo Poco]]. Liko also grew up with her grandmother, [[Diana]], hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Diana gave Liko a mysterious pendant. After saying this gift will be important to her in the future, Diana told Liko that she should rely on her Pokémon to be able to venture out and face her fears on her {{pkmn|journey}}.
{{left clear}}

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening the pendant's power for the first time]]
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in the [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about it and make it listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the [[Explorers|group]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had the Grass Cat Pokémon unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but it got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture it before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that Murdock and Friede had found [[Onia]]. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for it. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and succesffully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting Lucius's Rayquaza]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visited [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat Fuecoco. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared intrest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.

[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her father]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Nemona]] and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finish treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that she was sent a picture by Dot of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In the [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with [[Iono]] in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Liko and her friends became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the [[HZ017|previous episode]]. After Friede dodged all their questions, Liko and the rest of the crew came together and convinced him to tell the story of his first encounter with Captain Pikachu, which also led to the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. During the story, Liko was surprised to find out that her mother was Friede's teacher.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a Tag Battle against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko Hatenna Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|Liko catching her first Pokémon]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily caught {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Liko was able to meet back up with Roy and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Liko and her friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Liko and Roy were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the Legendary Pokémon once more in order to calm it down. However, after calming Moltres down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{p|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos transform in order to battle the Black Rayquaza, after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', Liko and Roy were asked by Dot to help her with a fan of Nidothing named [[Yuno]] in solving her Pokémon's personality issues. Upon arriving, Liko, Roy, and Dot find out that Yuno is trying to find a partner to team up with her for the [[Pigton Town Multi Battle Tournament]], but her partner Pokémon {{p|Oinkologne}} is in love with another Oinkologne, who is owned by [[Renta]]. Through their teamwork, the three friends were able to help Yuno's Oinkologne win Renta's over and the two Trainer's decided to be partners for the tournament. Liko and Roy also train with Yuno and Renta to help them prepare for the tournament, which paid off as they won the whole thing. Also, Liko and Roy joined Dot when she interviewed Yuno as Nidothing, but it got cut short when she became confused about her feelings for Renta.

In ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]'', Liko took Hatenna to Mollie for a check-up, but the Pokémon took them to what they thought was a {{p|Tandemaus}}. After healing it, the two girls went to look for the other Tandemaus, which Mollie then took care of. When Liko discovered that the Tandemaus was part of a family of four {{p|Maushold}}, Hatenna learned {{m|Heal Pulse}} to heal them.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.
[[File:Liko and Coral rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Liko rivalry against Coral]]
In [[HZ046]], Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Terastal training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a rematch against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In [[HZ047]], Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy’s {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}} used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In [[HZ053]], Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{p|Hattrem}} and defeated the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.

In [[HZ055]], Liko and Ann watched Dot and Roy in Tag Battles alongside the Gym Leaders they battled against in their Terastal tests. After watching her friends, Liko prepared for her battle, as she teamed up with Katy against [[Rika]]. In the [[HZ056|next episode]], Liko and Katy started their battle against Rika. Despite holding her own in the battle and Terastallized Floragato, Liko and Katy lost. After the battle, Liko became emotional, but soon cheered up again.

In [[HZ057]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede met with Clavell and Geeta, hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third Terapagos form. Later, Liko and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some more information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Liko was paired with [[Grusha]] on [[Glaseado Mountain]].

In [[HZ063]], Liko and her friends arrived on Mount Glaseado for his implementation test against Grusha. After meeting him and learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko battled him using her Floragato against his {{p|Cetitan}}. Due to the type disadvantage, Floragato struggled against her opponent, so she was [[Recall|swapped]] with Hattrem who, after dealing some damage, was defeated. Liko brought out Floragato again and put Cetitan in difficulty with Magical Leaf. Grusha then switched it for {{p|Altaria}}, which put the girl's Pokémon in trouble with its aerial attacks. Liko then ordered Floragato to grab onto Altaria's legs with his vine and hit it with {{m|Acrobatics}}, causing him to fall to the ground. Both Trainers then Terastalized their Pokémon, which clashed in one last attack: Floragato was defeated, so Liko lost the match. Grusha, however, told her that she failed the test and said that there would be no rematch, much to Liko and the others' shock, leaving her in despair.

In [[HZ064]], Liko was depressed about her loss and knowing she couldn't Terastalize anymore because she failed her second test. However, she was cheered up by Roy and Dot as the two decided to take her to the peak of Glaseado Mountain. Along the way, Liko was separated from Roy and Dot by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, whose trainer was working with Spinel to spy on them. Liko then encountered Amethio and battled him, where she was able to put up a fight against him, in stark contrast to their previous battle. When Amethio Terastalized his Ceruledge, Liko hesitated because of what happened in her battle against Grusha and was close to losing until Spinel and his Umbreon suddenly interfered. After witnessing Spinel using the Laquium to shockingly empower his Umbreon against Ceruledge to defeat it, Liko was surprised by Terapagos using its Terastal form to destroy the Laquium's effects. Liko then followed Amethio and Ceruledge in chasing down Spinel for answers but was trapped with them in a cave as a result.

===Character===
[[File:Liko Stressful Situation.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko panicking in a stressful situation]]
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning about how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She also has been shown to be cautious of trusting others, as she quickly realized something was up when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without giving her any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and helped her rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her smarts, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she told her the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion. In addition, she appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes on her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan'').

[[File:Roy Liko Dot.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her friends]]
Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other students of [[Indigo Academy]] also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her words. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, being able to quickly befriend [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them, and was also even able to get the extremely reserved Dot to slightly open up as well. Ever since learning that there was another member aboard the Brave Olivine, Liko made attempts to make the mysterious girl open herself up more, which is seen in full display in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she brought Dot her lunch and invited her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. Liko has also shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems. When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, which they enjoyed.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and is shown to prioritize their safety, as shown in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even going to point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save {{an|Terapagos}} from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. Liko often gets happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. In [[HZ055]], Liko was shown to be emotional as she cried for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]].

[[File:Liko confident.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko's confident side]]
Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. Liko also has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her idenity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is.

Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Even since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. In addition to Friede, Liko shares a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as she mostly hangs out with them.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|250px|Liko and her Pokémon prior to [[HZ053]]]]
Liko's team consist of Pokémon who have the ability to understand feelings, help anyone who were overwhelmed by a certain emotion, and strengthen the bond with a Pokémon. Liko's Pokémon also seem to have a tendency to rest in certain areas in order to conserve their energy, such as her {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s sweet scent and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s ability to pick up the emotions of both people and Pokémon.

This listing is of Liko's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}:

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the anime, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
*Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's hairpin resembles the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] and on the shoes that were [[JN147|given to him]] by {{Delia|his mom}}.
*Liko is the first female main character to:
**Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]
Liko was born in the [[Kanto]] region, and lived there with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]], for a few years. At some point, they moved to the [[Paldea]] region — with Liko then growing up in [[Cabo Poco]]. Liko also grew up with her grandmother, [[Diana]], hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Diana gave Liko a mysterious pendant. After saying this gift will be important to her in the future, Diana told Liko that she should rely on her Pokémon to be able to venture out and face her fears on her {{pkmn|journey}}.
{{left clear}}

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening the pendant's power for the first time]]
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in the [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about it and make it listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the [[Explorers|group]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had the Grass Cat Pokémon unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but it got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture it before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that Murdock and Friede had found [[Onia]]. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for it. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and succesffully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting Lucius's Rayquaza]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visited [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat Fuecoco. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared intrest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.

[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her father]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Nemona]] and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finish treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that she was sent a picture by Dot of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In the [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with [[Iono]] in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Liko and her friends became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the [[HZ017|previous episode]]. After Friede dodged all their questions, Liko and the rest of the crew came together and convinced him to tell the story of his first encounter with Captain Pikachu, which also led to the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. During the story, Liko was surprised to find out that her mother was Friede's teacher.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a Tag Battle against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko Hatenna Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|Liko catching her first Pokémon]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily caught {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but got separated from them. However, Liko was able to meet back up with Roy and encounter the Explores again. During the battle, Liko and her friends met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that its one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, Liko and Roy were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in [[Motostoke]] where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the Legendary Pokémon once more in order to calm it down. However, after calming Moltres down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, being able to defeat them. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{p|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a led through a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Through Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos transform in order to battle the Black Rayquaza, after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', Liko and Roy were asked by Dot to help her with a fan of Nidothing named [[Yuno]] in solving her Pokémon's personality issues. Upon arriving, Liko, Roy, and Dot find out that Yuno is trying to find a partner to team up with her for the [[Pigton Town Multi Battle Tournament]], but her partner Pokémon {{p|Oinkologne}} is in love with another Oinkologne, who is owned by [[Renta]]. Through their teamwork, the three friends were able to help Yuno's Oinkologne win Renta's over and the two Trainer's decided to be partners for the tournament. Liko and Roy also train with Yuno and Renta to help them prepare for the tournament, which paid off as they won the whole thing. Also, Liko and Roy joined Dot when she interviewed Yuno as Nidothing, but it got cut short when she became confused about her feelings for Renta.

In ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]'', Liko took Hatenna to Mollie for a check-up, but the Pokémon took them to what they thought was a {{p|Tandemaus}}. After healing it, the two girls went to look for the other Tandemaus, which Mollie then took care of. When Liko discovered that the Tandemaus was part of a family of four {{p|Maushold}}, Hatenna learned {{m|Heal Pulse}} to heal them.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.
[[File:Liko and Coral rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Liko rivalry against Coral]]
In [[HZ046]], Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the Terastal course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Terastal training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a rematch against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In [[HZ047]], Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy’s {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}} used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In [[HZ053]], Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{p|Hattrem}} and defeated the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.

In [[HZ055]], Liko and Ann watched Dot and Roy in Tag Battles alongside the Gym Leaders they battled against in their Terastal tests. After watching her friends, Liko prepared for her battle, as she teamed up with Katy against [[Rika]]. In the [[HZ056|next episode]], Liko and Katy started their battle against Rika. Despite holding her own in the battle and Terastallized Floragato, Liko and Katy lost. After the battle, Liko became emotional, but soon cheered up again.

In [[HZ057]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede met with Clavell and Geeta, hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third Terapagos form. Later, Liko and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some more information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Liko was paired with [[Grusha]] on [[Glaseado Mountain]].

In [[HZ063]], Liko and her friends arrived on Mount Glaseado for his implementation test against Grusha. After meeting him and learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko battled him using her Floragato against his {{p|Cetitan}}. Due to the type disadvantage, Floragato struggled against her opponent, so she was [[Recall|swapped]] with Hattrem who, after dealing some damage, was defeated. Liko brought out Floragato again and put Cetitan in difficulty with Magical Leaf. Grusha then switched it for {{p|Altaria}}, which put the girl's Pokémon in trouble with its aerial attacks. Liko then ordered Floragato to grab onto Altaria's legs with his vine and hit it with {{m|Acrobatics}}, causing him to fall to the ground. Both Trainers then Terastalized their Pokémon, which clashed in one last attack: Floragato was defeated, so Liko lost the match. Grusha, however, told her that she failed the test and said that there would be no rematch, much to Liko and the others' shock, leaving her in despair.

In [[HZ064]], Liko was depressed about her loss and knowing she couldn't Terastalize anymore because she failed her second test. However, she was cheered up by Roy and Dot as the two decided to take her to the peak of Glaseado Mountain. Along the way, Liko was separated from Roy and Dot by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, whose trainer was working with Spinel to spy on them. Liko then encountered Amethio and battled him, where she was able to put up a fight against him, in stark contrast to their previous battle. When Amethio Terastalized his Ceruledge, Liko hesitated because of what happened in her battle against Grusha and was close to losing until Spinel and his Umbreon suddenly interfered. After witnessing Spinel using the Laquium to shockingly empower his Umbreon against Ceruledge to defeat it, Liko was surprised by Terapagos using its Terastal form to destroy the Laquium's effects. Liko then followed Amethio and Ceruledge in chasing down Spinel for answers but was trapped with them in a cave as a result.

===Character===
[[File:Liko Stressful Situation.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko panicking in a stressful situation]]
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning about how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She also has been shown to be cautious of trusting others, as she quickly realized something was up when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without giving her any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and helped her rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her smarts, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she told her the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion. In addition, she appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes on her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan'').

[[File:Roy Liko Dot.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and her friends]]
Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other students of [[Indigo Academy]] also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her words. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, being able to quickly befriend [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them, and was also even able to get the extremely reserved Dot to slightly open up as well. Ever since learning that there was another member aboard the Brave Olivine, Liko made attempts to make the mysterious girl open herself up more, which is seen in full display in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she brought Dot her lunch and invited her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. Liko has also shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems. When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, which they enjoyed.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and is shown to prioritize their safety, as shown in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even going to point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save {{an|Terapagos}} from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. Liko often gets happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. In [[HZ055]], Liko was shown to be emotional as she cried for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]].

[[File:Liko confident.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko's confident side]]
Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. Liko also has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her idenity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is.

Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Even since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. In addition to Friede, Liko shares a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as she mostly hangs out with them.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|250px|Liko and her Pokémon prior to [[HZ053]]]]
Liko's team consist of Pokémon who have the ability to understand feelings, help anyone who were overwhelmed by a certain emotion, and strengthen the bond with a Pokémon. Liko's Pokémon also seem to have a tendency to rest in certain areas in order to conserve their energy, such as her {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s sweet scent and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s ability to pick up the emotions of both people and Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Friede had Captain Pikachu help Liko and Dot battle the [[Black Rayquaza]] while he and [[Roy]] battled it while flying on [[Friede's Charizard|his Charizard]].

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the anime, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
*Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's hairpin resembles the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] and on the shoes that were [[JN147|given to him]] by {{Delia|his mom}}.
*Liko is the first female main character to:
**Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.
** Have obtained her first Pokémon outside her home region.
**Own a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}}, who caught her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 885 episodes earlier.
***She is also the first main character to receive a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as her first Pokémon.
**Have a [[Pokédex]] since {{an|Serena}}, who received her second one in ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', 341 episodes earlier.
**Have obtained a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series and battled a member of the [[Elite Four]] since {{an|Dawn}}.
*Liko's main attire bears a resemblance to {{p|Oshawott}}, with her belt bag resembling Oshawott's [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]].
* Liko's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230414, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ002|(Part Two)]]'', the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.
*When {{Tera}}stallizing her {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, Liko uses the phrase (Japanese: '''満開に輝いて''' ''shine in full bloom'').
