===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
She first appeared in Eterna City just after the trio's [[starters]] evolved. She lent them some help before the Gym challenge. She later appears after {{Special|Platina}}'s Gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]] to help some injured {{p|Psyduck}}.

==Trivia==
*Cynthia, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, is the first [[League Champion]] since {{game|Yellow}}'s {{ga|Blue}} not to use any {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon in battle as Champion.
**However, in {{v2|Platinum}}, a {{p|Togekiss}} is added to her team instead of a {{p|Gastrodon}}.
*Cynthia is the first female NPC champion (player characters {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|May}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} become champion at the end of their journey) and the first NPC champion since {{ga|Blue}} to not have a type theme.
*Cynthia's hairbands resemble Lucario's "Aura Sensors".
*Cynthia is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four not to use any Pokémon released in [[Generation II]].
**However, she has a Togekiss in Platinum, which [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p2|Togetic|a Generation II Pokémon}}.
*As of Platinum, Cynthia owns the only two non-[[Legendary]] Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}.
*In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Lucario is the only Pokémon on Cynthia's team that's male. Strangely enough, this was changed in Platinum.

*In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Lucario is the only Pokémon on Cynthia's team that's male. Strangely enough, this was changed in Platinum.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is a [[Pokémon master]] and [[Pokémon champion|Elite Four Champion]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}. Other than the player using a [[Gender#Trainers|female]] [[Player character|character]], she is the first known female [[Pokémon League]] [[Pokémon Champion|champion]] in the video game series.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Cynthia in the anime]]
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet]]''. She made her first appearance in [[DP040|''Top-Down Training!'']]. Her Japanese voice actress is 櫻井智 ''Tomo Sakurai'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]]. Internationally, she is played by [[Samira Fernandes]] in the Brazilian Portuguese dub.

She was first seen battling against [[Lucian]] with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in [[Amity Square]] where she was studying ancient tablets. [[Paul]] then challenged her to a battle. She defeated four of Paul's Pokémon using only her {{p|Garchomp}}.

She reappeared in [[DP096]] and [[DP097]] where she tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the [[Lustrous Orb]].

==In the games==
[[Image:DP_Shirona.png|thumb|right|Sprite image from D/P]]Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. She is also found on {{rt|214}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the Fen Badge. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210}}. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region.

Later, she reappears as the League Champion.

===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
She first appeared in Eterna City just after the trio's [[starters]] evolved. She lent them some help before the Gym challenge. She later appears after {{Special|Platina}}'s Gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]] to help some injured {{p|Psyduck}}.

==Trivia==
*Cynthia, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, is the first [[League Champion]] since {{game|Yellow}}'s {{ga|Blue}} not to use any {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon in battle as Champion.
**However, in {{v2|Platinum}}, a {{p|Togekiss}} is added to her team.
*Cynthia is the first female NPC champion (player characters {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|May}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} become champion at the end of their journey) and the first NPC champion since {{ga|Blue}} to not have a type theme.
*Cynthia's hairbands resemble Lucario's "Aura Sensors".
*Cynthia is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four not to use any Pokémon released in [[Generation II]].
**However, she has a Togekiss in Platinum, which [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p2|Togetic|a Generation II Pokémon}}.
*As of Platinum, Cynthia owns the only two non-[[Legendary]] Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}.
*In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Lucario is the only Pokémon on Cynthia's team that's male. Strangely enough, this was changed in Platinum.

== Trivia ==

In the trivia it says about Ash never catching a Pokemon when he has 6 in his party and then gives many exceptions, hardly a worthy piece of trivia, I would suggest removing it but I am afraid of back-lash from other users, so can anyone give their consensus. [[User:Sailor Earth|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Sailor Earth| of]][[User talk:Sailor Earth| Earth]] 20:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:Krabby was at the beginning, there are 30 of those Tauros and Beedrill went straight to Casey. I think the fact is worth mentioning but I'm not sure how to reword it. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 23:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
::If thirty Tauros at once counts as many exceptions... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I made a sprite of Ash: [[Image:Ash_Sprite.png]] I used Lucas (since they are very similar) and changed some features. How is it?--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 20:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I say very good!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Kuki, you should talk to my younger brother, [[User:Diamaster|Diamaster]]. Does anyone have anything else for me to make?--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 21:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

How about we go through it together? Oh, how about giving [[Mimey]] a broom in its sprite on [[Delia]]'s page?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

:I'll get to it. Feel free to e-mail me anytime you come with an idea. You are like my manager, or somewhat my boss. This works well.--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 21:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Should we start from the beginning?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I've just finished [[Mimey|Mimey's]] sprite. I'm ready for the list!--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 21:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

: It's good but is there any point of putting that in the Article? --[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 09:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Actually, last time we did this to Tyson's Meowth, the Cat got the Boot (Geddit? Geddit? Oh forget it...) '''[[User:Optimus35|It's the <sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''10:11 6 Jun 2008'''''
:::I have to agree... the sprites are neat (sort of; I've definitely seen better), but they don't really belong in the articles. Just because a Pokémon dresses differently doesn't mean it's not the same Pokémon. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 05:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::::All he was trying to do was give the Pokémon some individuality. I'm not sure I'm for the modified sprites of humans but we should let the Pokémon stay. Especially if they are tweaked just so slightly that it barely makes a difference. Like Ash's Sceptile. You can't say that looked bad. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::I understand that. And I guess the less obtrusive ones are OK (this is all just my opinion, anyway). But don't put "sprite by Taviource" on the pages; that's just advertising, which shouldn't be in the main namespace. It's fine that you put it on the images themselves; that way, people who are interested in the sprites can follow them to you, and people who aren't don't think you're a {{tt|whore|apologies if you find the word offensive}}. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 06:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::I can't say that Sceptile looks bad but I can say that it looks incorrect since it had a different twig to Treecko/Grovyle. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 11:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but i just dont think that traviource's edits ar good enough.I personally think that they should be put back to normal or if it's allowed, http://pokesho.com/icon.html has really nice personalized sprites.I know there's a copyright rule but if you translate the page it says: Pokemon Icon Collection Freedom to use. Anywway, i dont know, but that was my thought.--Riot464

We want them to b somewhat, actuall mostly based off the games.--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 19:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Sweet! Pokemonboy 08:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Sun Stone ==
does anyone know what happened to his sun stone from the bug catching contest? [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 23:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

He used it on a Sunkern in [[EP187]]--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 23:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not much of a waste since Misty missed the [[Oddish (Pokémon)|"Water-type"]] she tried to catch in [[EP010]]. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

== Alternate Sprites ==

Oh, since we're on the subject, let's change the MS sprites too! >.> No, seriously, what difference would it make even if we DID have alternate sprites? The best we could do is {{u|Shiny Noctowl}}, and it's an official sprite. Squirtle appeared mostly without its glasses, thus, GET RID OF THEM. Primape and the belt? Wow! The belt got stuck on him for ten minutes and you already want to put it there??? Seriously, folks, ARE WE USING THE ALTERNATE SPRITES OR WHAT? '''[[User:Optimus35|It's the <sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''07:38 7 Jun 2008'''''

: In my opinion, we shouldn't be using these altered sprites. As Optimus35 pointed out, most of these alterations are things that appeared for a few minutes in a few episodes. More importantly, the Bulbapedia is ''not'' a place for fan art. If the artist is trying to showcase their art, the Bulbapedia is not the way to do it. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 12:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

:: I concur, sort of. Taivource does seem to be on a "Everyone behold my cool sprites." binge. Kenji-girl seems to like the Treecko-line ones, though (and to be fair, they are good). [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 12:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Just because we're an encyclopedia of Pokémon doesn't mean every sprite on every page has to be EXACTLY out of a game, does it? '''[[User:Pachirisulover12|PL]][[User talk:Pachirisulover12|12]]''' 13:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::If it was a commonly re-occurring theme, then an alternate sprite singles it out as unique, which could be gathered from what I know about the Treeko and evolutions. [[User:Gywall|Gywall]] 13:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

WE ARE USING THE ALTERNATE SPRITES, except for the trainer ones, and I actually might've put the yellow stars on Janina's Onix. And, for example Taisei's Piplup wore the tiara all episode--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 13:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

: OH, ARE WE NOW? Thanks for being so open to discussion, Kuki. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 13:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

What's that supposed to mean. And Squirtle's glasses, as leader of the squirtle Squad, he's wearing them all the time probably--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 13:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:''If'' it is a significant part of their character design (eg. Noctowl, Treecko/Grovyle without the flower/Sceptile, maybe Squirtle) it is worth featuring the altered sprites. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 13:30, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Exactly they are not just any ordinary Squirtle, Onix, Piplup, or Dustox, there is a special piece of design that seperates them from the ordinary ones. [[User:Sailor Earth|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Sailor Earth| of]][[User talk:Sailor Earth| Earth]] 17:06, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::Exactly. They each have their own significant and reminds us all about all the good times in the anime.--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 17:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Plus, Dustox, Squirtle, Primeape, and Butterfree belong/ed to main characters. And remember how we did an alternate sprite for {{an|May}}'s Venusaur as a Bulbasaur--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::We did?--[[User:Taviource|Taviource]] 17:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Not we, but Bulbapedia as a community. The link is there, hover over Bulbasaur, and voila! PROOF!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:For the record, I entirely disagree with the Onix sprite. (She tried cheating one time and then had to wash it off.) But this is Ash's talk page so let's stick to those sprites here. The consensus seems to be to keep the alternate sprites and they don't hurt. Are there any valid reasons to not have them? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 17:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::Also, Grovyle needs to lose the flower and Sceptile's twig needs correcting. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 17:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Remember, shortly b4 Grovyle evolved, the flower bloomed? Thus the flower stays!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

==That last piece of trivia==

For some reason I can't delete that piece of trivia at he bottom of the list and Ireally need to for one simple reason. Its totally wrong. It can't be a trend of Ash catching a flying type, grass, fire and then water because it happens once! Kanto- bug, flying, grass, fire, water. Thats got bug at the start. Johto- bug, grass, fire, water, flying. Noctowl was caught after cyndaquil and he had heracross. Hoenn- flying, grass, water, fire. Water and fire are the wrong way round. Kanto is a main region and so the battle fronteir arc has only the capture of aipom, a normal tyoe. It can't be a trend if it only happens in 1 region! Because I can't delete it for some reason I implore you to get rid of it. A trend has to happen alot more than once. [[User:TheAlmightyChris|TheAlmightyChris]] 21:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Ash dressing up ==

In this article it mentions ash's three times cross dressing and his two time having to dress up as fruit. What it doesn't mention is the number of times he has to dress up as an actual pokemon. I can only remember him being Mr. Mime in 'Mr. Mime Time' and as an Octillery in 'Octillery the Outcast'. Im pretty sure there are a few others, can anyone remember, thnx! I just somehow have feeling there may be a few more beside the one's i have said and the one below {{unsigned|Dragonboy}}

In the article, it says :
"The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were five badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes."
It's wrong : he had 6 badges by EP035, as he won :
Boulder Badge in EP005
Cascade Badge in EP007
Thunder Badge in EP014
Marsh Badge in EP024
Rainbow Badge in EP026
Soul Badge in EP032

== Matnine Overboard ==
Is it notable that Ash was apparently able to recognize what a Mantine is in "Mantine Overboard" depite having never seen one before? The same thing could be said about Regice in the 8th movie but that could be easily explained; If (off-camera)someone explained Registeel, Regirock, and Regice the only one left was Regice (simple process of elimination). But the Mantine one has me confused. I suppose it's possible Ash saw a Mantine in his past before becoming a trainer. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 18:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that always happens in the anime. They know Pokemon theyve never mentioned or seen b4. Like James and Carnivine.

:TV, Books, and Pokémon games exist in the pokemon world aswell. Also it's not big brother, things would occur off camera and, chances are, if he did see a Mantine in person, it was being minded by Prof. Oak or something like that.
::No matter how it might look shows never show everything frame-by-frame, and neither do movies. Chances are that Ash could see a lot of Pokémon off-camera. And about Brock, I'd assume that he studies about Pokémon off-camera. Also I have never seen a real-life dragon, but that won't stop me from recognizing one if I ever get the chance of seeing one.

==I hate to open up an old can of worms, but...==
I'm completely against the alternate Primeape and Butterfree sprites. They had the the belt/scarf for less than a whole episode, the episodes they left nonetheless. I think the others are fine since they were frequent parts of their characters (Treecko line's twig, Squirtle's sunglasses somewhat), but the belt and scarf are ridiculous. I'm not going to remove them myself since it's bound to start an edit war, so I'm asking for opinions first. '''~[[User:RR|R]][[User talk:RR|R]]~''' 04:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:What i think it is is that weve got to have the most upto date images. The last time they were seen. So if they came back and didnt have them then the alternate sprites would have to be removed.

::And for both, it was a signifigant reason that they left, Brock gave the scarf to Butterfree so it could score a mate, thus triggering its departure.

*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.

'''Porygon-Z''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴンZ''' ''PorygonZ'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. It [[evolve]]s from {{p|Porygon2}}. Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via [[trade|trading]] while [[held item|holding an item]]. It is also the only Pokémon who evolves from a Pokémon who already evolved from methods other than [[Level Up|leveling up]]. (not including evolutionary lines where [[baby Pokémon]] is the fist stage.)

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body, much like Porygon's legs, with no visible neck and yellow eyes with a bull's-eye shaped pattern. Its bill is more round, and doesn't curve down as it did in its Porygon2 stage. On its head is a small, horn-like structure, which is the least-rounded appendage on its body. Its legs are now wing-like, and its posture resembles that of a hummingbird. The tail is a little plumper, with the blue pattern on it's chest no longer being isolated and now connecting to its legs/wings.

====Gender differences====
Porygon-Z is genderless.
====Special abilities====
Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolved forms, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{m|Sharpen}}.

===Behavior===
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it exhibits the behavior that was programmed into it as a Porygon. However, it may also display emotions and some erratic behavior that was not a part of its programming. Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.

===Habitat===
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live practically anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
As with {{p|Porygon2}}, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' incident, except possibly as a brief cameo.

Note: Porygon-Z can learn either {{M|Conversion}} or {{M|Conversion 2}}, which can allow Porygon-Z to change its type.

==Trivia==
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Trick Room}} by leveling up so far.
* Porygon-Z shares the highest [[Special Attack]] stat in the game (excluding legendaries) with {{p|Alakazam}}.
** On that note, Porygon-Z has the highest Special Attack stat of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Porygon-Z weighs as much as {{ga|Dawn}}.
* The [[Dubious Disc]]'s name implies that Porygon-Z, unlike its pre-evolution, was not authorized by [[Silph Co.]] Its appearance as a glitched version of Porygon2 also seems to reinforce this. There is a fan theory that speculates that [[Team Rocket]] created {{p|Porygon}} as well as the Dubious Disc.
* Despite Porygon-Z's pre-evolutions both having their signature Conversion moves, no new Conversion move was made for Porygon-Z.
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve at all, just trading with held items, Porygon-Z is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Roserade}} being the other), and the only one that can't skip its fully unevolved form.
===Origin===
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. It is essentially a glitched Porygon2 with some differences.
====Name origin====
Porygon-Z's name is a mix between ''[[wp:polygon|polygon]]'' and ''[[wp:origami|origami]]''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The "Z" could either refer to the {{wp|Z axis}} in [[wp:Three-dimensional space|3D]] coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}). It is also possible that the "Z" was used as a corruption of "2", due to the fact that Porygon-Z is a glitched version of Porygon2.

Burned Tower

'''Brass Tower''' (Japanese: '''かねのとう''' ''Gold Tower''), more often known in modern times as the '''Burned Tower''' (Japanese: '''やけたとう''' ''Burned Tower''), is a location in [[Johto]].

The Brass Tower, with gleaming [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|silver-colored]] panels, was, according to legend, the perch of {{p|Lugia}}. Once as majestic as the [[Tin Tower]], the Brass Tower was burned to the ground by a mysterious fire. This chased the two [[legendary Pokémon]] away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. {{p|Lugia}} left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart. [[Image:BrassTower.png|right|600px|thumb|Brass Tower as seen in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.]]

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and {{v2|Crystal}}, the player encounters {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for the first time in the basement of the Brass Tower, who then [[Roaming Pokémon|flee]]. This is also where {{ga|Silver|the player's rival}} will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] he stole.

==Items==
* [[Burn Heal]] (2) - In a {{m|Rock Smash}}able rock, and hidden for [[Itemfinder]].
* [[HP Up]] - Near the Firebreather.
* [[X Speed]] - In another {{m|Rock Smash}}able rock.
* [[Nugget]] - Where Entei, Raikou, and Suicune were ([[Itemfinder]]).
* {{TM|20|Endure}} - Behind a rock able to be moved with {{m|Strength}}.

==Naming pun==
Similarly to the Tin Tower's, the Brass Tower's Japanese name, かねのとう ''Kane no Tō'', refers to both a metal and a {{wp|kane (musical instrument)|type of bell}}.

==Origin==
A Buddhist temple in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}}, covered in gold leaf, is known as {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}. Like Brass Tower, it was burned down; however, unlike it, it was reconstructed. The likeness of a {{p2|Ho-Oh|phoenix}} rests atop the tower.

'''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'') is the main [[playable character]] in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and is the male choice in [[Pokémon Crystal]]. In Crystal, his female counterpart is [[Kris (game)|Kris]].

He is a caring young boy who lives with his mother in [[New Bark Town]].

==Storyline in the Games==
Gold's journey as a {{g|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because he may encounter dangerous wild [[Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Gold meets another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When he tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Gold's rival, analagous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].

Gold continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Gold's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Gold again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, he learns his name and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Gold to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].

From there Gold begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the newly reformed [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the League Champion, Gold then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, he battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders, including two new faces, [[Janine]], who replaced her father [[Koga]] on his promotion to the Elite Four, and {{ga|Blue}}, who was formerly League Champion himself, and replaced [[Giovanni]] after the latter fled. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Gold heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28}}. His journey comes to a close when he faces the legendary trainer {{ga|Red}} deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion [[Generation I|three years prior]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} from the special episode [[The Legend of Thunder]] seems to be based off of Gold in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based off of his counterpart, [[Red (game)|Red]]. However, like Ash and Red aren't interchangeable, neither are Jimmy and Gold, nor {{jo|Marina}} and her game counterpart, [[Kris]].

Another counterparts of Gold include {{Special|Gold}} from [[Pokémon Special]] manga, [[Gold (Golden Boys)|Gold]] from [[Golden Boys]] manga and [[Kinnosuke]] from [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]] manga.

Primal Dialga

2008-10-10T05:57:18Z

RyanCross: +info

[[Image:Primal dialga.PNG|90px|right|thumb|Primal Dialga]]
'''Primal Dialga''' (Japanese: '''やみのディアルガ''' ''Dark Dialga'') is a Pokémon that appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. It is located at the pinnacle of [[Temporal Tower]], and is the final boss of the game's main story line. Primal Dialga is actually a {{p|Dialga}} that lost control over its ability to control time due to the collapse of the Temporal Tower and changed to this form. In this form, it is also incapable of logical reasoning or showing mercy, only seeking self-preservation and preventing time from flowing properly. The player must return the [[Time Gear]]s to the tower to restore the flow of time, calm down Dialga, and prevent the future where darkness rules.

==Physiology==
Primal Dialga has the same body shape of {{p|Dialga}} but the color scheme is different. The blue color in its body is changed to dark navy blue, the streamers are recolored to yellow and the diamond in the chest is altered from blue to a cherry shade red which is a sign of its berserk and savage state. This is caused by a collapsing Temporal Tower, resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "Primal Dialga".

==Background==
The Primal Dialga state was from {{p|Darkrai}}'s doing who stole the Time Gears, consequently outraging Dialga and disrupting the proper flow of time. After the Temperal Tower incident, Dialga returns the player to life as a show of gratitude for repairing the flow of time and the player's sacrifice.

Although Primal Dialga has lost control of its power, it can still warp through time and use its signature move {{m|Roar of Time}}.

Shiny Pokémon

2008-10-10T05:52:22Z

RyanCross: /* Generation II */ copyedit

[[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|thumb|left]][[Image:Shinystar.gif|thumb|left]]
[[Image:Ash's Noctowl.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Noctowl]] soaring.]]
[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]
'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be, provided its data is unaltered. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

===Generations III and IV===
In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the Generation III games and previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a probability of 1 in 8192 (8/65536), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

if E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} there are two trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in double battle mode, the first pair of trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|A regular Kecleon with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its {{a|Color Change}} ability. It says that it was so excited about Orbs that it turned rosy-colored. {{fact}} In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, a shiny {{p|Celebi}} appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a male Pokémon ({{p|Grovyle}}). It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]".
 

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a holofoil effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:DateExpectations.jpg|right|thumb|A shiny {{p|Donphan}} in the anime.]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. Another Pokémon that's attributed as being a shiny is Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} from ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''. Whether it is really a shiny or that's just how Toxicroak are depicted in the anime is being debated.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the main land. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared as well.

Shiny Pokémon

RyanCross: /* Generation II */ copyedit

'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

===Generation II===

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon

2008-10-10T05:34:32Z

RyanCross: wikify

'''Pseudo-legendary''' is a term used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolve|evolution]] line, two [[Elemental types|type]]s, as well as a [[base stats|base stat total]] of 600. Pseudo-legendaries are more powerful than almost every other non-legendary Pokémon, if only for their base stats, and in particular, have an outstanding [[Stat#Attack|Attack stat]]. They also have incredibly diverse movepools and can usually be found only in their first form. Due to this, raising them is difficult since they require a lot of [[experience]] to [[Level Up|level up]].

==List of pseudo-legendaries==
There are five Pokémon considered to be pseudo-legendaries. The following shows the pseudo-legendaries, their types, and the Pokémon they evolve from.

==Trivia==
*In both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]], the evolutionary lines of {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} are located between the [[Legendary trio]] and [[List of tiers#Uber|Ubers]] of their respective generation (they are located next to each other in the Johto Dex). Similarly yet differently, the {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Metagross}} lines are located next to each other right ''before'' the [[Legendary golems]], again both in the National Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]]. In contrast, the {{p|Garchomp}} line is detached from the [[Sinnoh]] legendaries, whether in the National Pokédex or [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]].
*These Pokémon are used in-game almost exclusively by final members of the [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]]s. {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], the final Elite Four member in [[Generation I]] and {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; it is used again by Lance as the Champion in [[Generation II]]. {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in Pokémon Emerald. Lastly, {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]].
**There are two minor exceptions to the above rule: In the post-Elite Four stage of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a male trainer on [[Route 229]] can be found using Salamence, and a female trainer can be found with Metagross on [[Route 224]]. This was done to serve as a cameo appearance of the movie characters [[Butler]] and {{mov|Rebecca}}, who used these pseudo-legendaries in their respective [[Pokémon movie|movies]].
*In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s story mode, [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and [[Champion]], respectively. [[Pokémon XD]] complemented the list of pseudo-legendaries as of [[Generation III]] by featuring Shadow {{p|Salamence}} (used by [[Eldes]]) and Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} (used by [[Miror B.]]). Another thing is that all four pseudo-legendaries have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow Moves.
*While most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form, {{p|Dragonair}} is also obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]] and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]]). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{g|Crystal}}.
*With the exception of {{p|Metagross}}, the pseudo-legendaries have a double weakness to one type: In the case of {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}} the double weakness is to {{type2|Ice}} moves, whereas in {{p|Tyranitar}}'s case, it is to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
*All of the pseudo-legendaries have an immunity to one type, for {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Salamence}} it is {{type2|Ground}}, for {{p|Tyranitar}} it is {{type2|Psychic}}, for {{p|Metagross}} it is {{type2|Poison}}, and for {{p|Garchomp}} it is {{type2|Electric}}.
*Since [[Generation III]], it is incorrect to think of pseudo-legendaries as having the maximum total base stats attainable by non-legendary Pokémon. This is due to the introduction of {{p|Slaking}}, whose total base stats of 670 matches that of the legendary {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Regigigas}}. However, Slaking's {{a|Truant}} ability tones its effectiveness down to the degree of being perceived as ''weaker'' than the pseudo-legendaries (incidentally, this is also true of Regigigas). It is also for this reason that Slaking is used by the [[Gym Leader]] [[Norman]].
*Metagross and Tyranitar are the only pseudo-legendaries that aren't a {{type2|Dragon}}, and Metagross is the only one that isn't {{p2|Tyranitar|dragon-like}}.
*The Generation III pseudo-legendaries are the only ones which are not bipedal.
*All pseudo-legendaries introduced after Generation II have blue as a dominant [[List of Pokémon by color|color]].
*Currently, all of the pseudo-legendaries' highest base stat is the attack stat.

RyanCross: bold

'''Nectar''' is an IQ-raising item in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. It is a supersweet nectar that, when consumed, slightly fills the [[Pokémon]]'s belly. It will also raise the [[IQ]] of a team member.

== Please tell your fellow admins to back off ==

Moldy Orange and TTEchinda are both getting on my nerves and harassing me, not to mention having conversation about me in a disrespectful and unadmin like way. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PAK_Man#You_know Plus this here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:TTEchidna#Moldy.2C_psychic_rider_andTakoto What does my religion or lack of have to do with anything. These editors and admins are being disrespectful, uncivil and not doing their jobs and abusing and intimidating others with their power. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 20:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, wow. Is this whole thing still going on? Listen. Everyone brought up their points politely to you, at first. ''You'' are the one who not only continued each discussion, but accused the other editors of "harassing" you over each point. [[User talk:Yami Takashi#Porygon/2/-Z's Body Types]] is one example. Both Porygon-Z and Moldy Orange stated the facts on the topic; we reference the games themselves for body type information, capitalize Pokémon properly, and so on. Your response was that you "don't care if it's a capital P", and to "stop bothering me". Trying to help out is all fine and dandy, but you've got to know when to listen to other people's opinions (or facts) when they present them.
:If you post anything on a wiki, anyone is allowed to contribute. This includes conversations; if you have to tell people that they "have no place in it", then perhaps you should be holding the conversation in a more... I dunno, private space. E-mail, instant message.
:Look. If you really believe that the users here are ganging up on you, trolling and flaming, then be mature about it. Don't reply to insulting comments, bring it up with another user if you must. If you believe a comment to be insulting, then don't dignify it with a response. Otherwise, when an argument is the end result, it's as much your fault as the other participants.
:Drop the topic(s), stop talking with the people you think are biased against you. A social "time out", so to speak. I'm trying to be a unbiased third-party here, but if you continue these discussions the way you have been, I don't think I can stay unbiased on the subject. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 22:44, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

== Signature related thing ==

I figured out that you are the signature-policy enforcer of Bulbapedia. This means you are one of the best at wiki-coding. I'm happy with my signature, but ''really'' need some help about my userpage. I want the "Things about me" section to have a [[Template:Firecolor|background]]. Also, it would be nice if I could change the background color of the table about my favorite Pokémon. Can it be done? One more thing. How can I change the picture of my shiny unown to shiny unown-c?--'''[[User:Diby|Di]]'''[[User talk:Diby|b]][[Special:Contributions/Diby|y]] 11:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
:Wouldn't say I'm among the best here, but I've got a pretty good handle on coding...
:Alright, the "things about me" section already has a background, actually. However, the "" marks are cutting the coding off so it won't work. I'll fix that myself in a moment.
:The background on your favorite Pokémon should work the same; I'll set it up with a Fire-color background, it should be easy for you to see where to change the color once the coding's in place.
:As for the shiny Unown... I took a look around, and it actually doesn't seem like there ''is'' a sprite for the shiny Unown-C. There's an older sprite, however, but since the filename's different, you'd need to make the userbox from scratch to display it. Not sure if you'd want to do that. If we had a shiny Unown-C sprite uploaded, you would be able to display it simply by using 201C instead of just 201. Maybe TTE knows where we can find those missing sprites (or if they're already up, and hidden somewhere I can't find them). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

== User page ==
Hello. I'm new to this site, and was wondering if I could use your user page design for mine? I admire how it blends in with the whole green theme of the wiki, and wanted to use it also. And yes, I know the policy in which you can only edit in your own userspace only 3 times a day at the max. By the way, since you do are the "head" of the signature policy, is my signature okay? Thanks, – [[User:RyanCross|'''Ryan'''Cross]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|''talk'']]) 03:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

::Hmm, I prefer people copy the coding and modify it to fit their own personal style; keeps my layout a little unique, you see. So if you're going to copy the layout, I'd appreciate it if you added a bit of your own style to it...
::But I'm fine if you want to copy the layout coding, either way. I'm assuming you already know how to just use Show Preview when you're setting up, so you don't need to make as many edits. :D
::I let people "steal" the user talk header, that's not a big deal to me. I'm actually debating making that into a customizable template, so it can be more easily stolen, hehe. So feel free to copy as much of that as you like, as well.
::And yes, the signature's spot-on too. Oh, but the one difference between font and span tags, the font tags actually need to be ''inside'' the brackets if you're coloring a link. I noticed it's setting the color to green, but the signature's the default blue anyway... my signature's a good example of the coding. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s from {{p|Vibrava}} at [[level]] 36.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large, light green, insect-like dragon Pokémon. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three green rhombus shapes at the end. Flygon has a pair of green rhombus-shaped wings, toeless hind legs and three-clawed hands. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{M|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{M|Earthquake}} or {{M|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert, these adaptations have given it the nickname "the elemental spirit of the desert". When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Drew's_Flygon.jpg|thumb|right|[[Drew's Flygon]]]]
Flygon first appears in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

Another Flygon was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It helped save {{an|Jirachi}} from [[Butler]].

[[Drew's Flygon]] made its debut in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=ground
|gen=3
|rubydex=Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a {{M|sandstorm}} while flying.
|sapphiredex=Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a {{M|sandstorm}}, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.
|emeralddex=The flapping of its wings sounds like singing. To prevent detection by enemies, it hides itself by flapping up a cloud of desert sand.
|firereddex=It hides itself by kicking up desert sand with its wings. Red covers shield its eyes from sand.
|leafgreendex=It hides itself by kicking up desert sand with its wings. Red covers shield its eyes from sand.
|diamonddex=It whips up sandstorms with powerful flaps of its wings. It is known as "The Desert Spirit."

{{cleanup}}

'''Invisible {{shiny2}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}''' is a [[glitch]] Pokémon in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].
It is usually found in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Oreburgh Mine]] with the use of an [[Action Replay]]. It can also be encountered in a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] when using a cheat code to walk over water, and it can be found in {{si|Victory Road}} as well.

Invisible shiny Bulbasaur always appears at Lv.0 with 0 Max HP, similarly to [[Ten question marks|??????????]] in [[Generation III]]. It doesn't appear to have any usable attacks – in double battles, the only attack it can use is Struggle. It is apparently invisible, although it may have a sprite resembling [[DPBox]]'s (when it uses Struggle in a double battle, the bottom of a sprite resembling [[DPBox]]'s is visible at the top of the screen); it sparkles like a Shiny Pokémon when it appears; and it's cry is the same as that of a Bulbasaur. If the player attempts to attack it, the game will assume there is no target and end the battle immediately.

By using the [[Cheating|walk through walls]] code to walk over water, the player can trigger a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] with an Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur and a real Pokémon. An Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur's shadow cannot be seen under it. Instead, the shadow is found beside the real Pokémon. The game, thinking that the player is traveling with a partner, will display two of the player's back sprite, one being the player and the "clone" being the nonexistent partner. The partner, whose name is nothing more than a blank space, will send out a DP Box. If the player does not run, then after both real Pokémon have taken their turns, one of the glitches will attack the other with {{m|Struggle}}, causing both to faint (one from damage, the other from recoil).

Interestingly, in a wild double battle, Invisible shiny Bulbasaur copies its partner's Speed stat and replaces all participating Pokémon's cries (including DPBox) with a Bulbasaur's cry. After each attack animation, its HP counter disappears.

Invisible shiny Bulbasaur is essentially a [[wp:Null (computer programming)|null]], which happens when an empty space in the party is called to battle. This would explain why the game says that there is no target because, technically, there is no Pokémon. [[DPbox]] may be Invisible shiny Bulbasaur's back sprite.

[[Image:BerryBasket.jpg|thumb|right|A basket filled with Berries; {{b2|Tamato}}, {{b2|Cheri}}, {{b2|Nanab}}, {{b2|Bluk}}, {{b2|Aspear}}, {{b2|Sitrus}}, and {{b2|Oran}} are seen.]]
'''Berries''' (Japanese: '''きのみ''' ''Berry'') are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. Many different kinds grow in the [[Pokémon world]] – particularly in [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

==History==
Berries were first introduced in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]]. The player could give their [[Pokémon]] [[item]]s to hold that could affect [[Pokémon battle|battles]]. However, Pokémon cannot use [[Potion]]s to restore themselves in battle. The reasoning behind this is that they don't know how to operate human-made things.

Berries, on the other hand, can be used by Pokémon. A Pokémon will automatically use a Berry in battle once its status changes, or its [[Stat#HP|HP]] drops below a certain point - the activation of the Berry varies among them.

===Generation II===
In the Generation II games, Berries were very limited in their availability, as they could be picked from trees only once daily, and a new one would not grow back until midnight of the next day. Their use was not much different, with all ten having in-battle effects.

===Generation III===
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]], a larger number of new Berries were introduced, replacing the Berries of [[Generation II]] in name, but with the first ten of them retaining the same or similar functions. In addition to the battle-use Berries, some of the new ones which were introduced were stat enhancers that functioned similarly to items like [[X Attack]], but most of the Berries introduced had no further use beyond making [[Pokéblock]]s for contests. These Berries also resemble real world fruit, in much the same way many Pokémon resemble real world animals. Also just like Pokémon, the Berries were also given unique attributes that are somewhat similar to their real world counterparts, as noted on their tags.

In addition, harvesting of Berries was also greatly changed in [[Generation III]]. They no longer grew regularly in certain places - rather, picking a set of Berries uprooted the plant. Berries had to be replanted in [[loamy soil]] for them to grow, and only when watered once per stage can they grow the maximum possible number of Berries. Many species of Berry also were given varied growing times, ranging from four hours to four days.

Unlike in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, which are set in [[Hoenn]], Generation III games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] are set in [[Kanto]] for the former two and [[Orre]] for the latter two. Like in [[Generation I]], Kanto has no loamy soil, meaning no Berries can be grown in-game. Just the same, FireRed and LeafGreen lack an in-game clock, which keeps track of planted Berries' growth. Orre lacks these as well, perhaps due to the fact that it would be too difficult to have programmed into the game with everything else. Thus, the only way to get Berries in these games is to find them, steal them from wild and opponents' Pokémon, or transfer them over from a Hoenn-based game held by a Pokémon being traded. The {{a|Pickup}} ability will allow a Pokémon to randomly find Berries, and [[Kin Island]]'s [[Berry Forest]] is one of locations where Berries can be found randomly. In addition, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Berries can be found either via the Itemfinder or by pressing A on tiles where a green zig-zagged "shadow" appears in the grass. Not all of these tiles contain Berries, but many of them hide basic HP- and Status-recovery Berries such as the Oran and Chesto varieties.

====Use out of battle====
Unlike in Generation II, many Generation III Berries were able to be used for things other than being held by a Pokémon for use in a pinch. Specifically, in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, players could [[Berry blender|blend]] their Berries together with NPCs or other players to make [[Pokéblock]]s to increase a Pokémon's [[condition]]. The resulting Pokéblock would depend on the flavors of the Berries that went into the blender.

Six of the Berries introduced in Ruby and Sapphire were given different effects in [[Pokémon Emerald Version]]. Instead of being merely a Pokéblock ingredient, in Emerald the {{b2|Pomeg}}, {{b2|Kelpsy}}, {{b2|Qualot}}, {{b2|Hondew}}, {{b2|Grepa}}, and [[Tamato Berry|Tamato Berries]] were able to lower [[effort values]] gained by a Pokémon in HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, respectively, and raise its [[happiness]].

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, the main set of Berries remained the same, however several more were added, this time ones that would act like a reverse [[type-enhancing held item]], powering down an opponent's [[super effective]] move when it hit. Several Berries' growth times also changed, most notably that of the Tamato Berry, which was to make it grow in the same amount of time as the other EV Berries instead of Berries of a similar flavor. Instead of blending Berries now, they could be cooked together to make [[Poffin]]. Many Berries are also able to grow many more fruits than in Generation III, with a maximum of 15 Berries able to be harvested per plant.

In addition, many Berries could be traded for [[Accessories]], making it so that none of them have no use besides Poffin-making.

==Growing Berries==
Berries can be planted in designated soil patches scattered all over Hoenn and Sinnoh. These are the same patches that originally already had berries growing in them. To grow a berry, one would need a berry to grow, a watering pot, and a vacant soil patch. Some mulch will speed up the growing process.

==List of Berries==
===Generation II===
The following is a listing for Berries obtainable in [[Generation II]]. All of them will regenerate on their trees at 12:00 midnight the day after they are picked.

===Generation IV===
Generation IV shared its main Berry set with [[Generation III]], but added a few more not found in [[Hoenn]], which have additional in-battle effects. Additionally, all of the additions [[Pokémon Emerald Version]] made to their functionality were retained. All Berries can be used to make Poffin, however, those that have no other, in-battle, effect are used only for planting, harvesting, and Poffin-making. Some Berries that appeared in Generation III also had their growth times altered slightly.

Steel (type)

2008-10-10T03:00:08Z

RyanCross: /* Trivia */ c-e

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Steel|はがね|Hagane}}
Some notable trainers that specialize in the Steel-type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], previously champion of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]], [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]].

==Statistical averages==
{{BaseStats|
HP=63 |
Attack=85 |
Defense=121 |
SpAtk=66 |
SpDef=72 |
Speed=53 }}

==Battle properties==
Steel-type moves:
* Are super-effective against: {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Water}}
* Have no effect against: None

Steel-type Pokémon:

* Resist: {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}}
* Have immunity to: {{t|Poison}}

==Characteristics==
Defensively, Steel-types are very good. They have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special tank in battle. They are immune to {{type2|Poison}} attacks, meaning they are not affected by {{m|Toxic}}. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their high Defense. Their Special Defense is lower than their physical, but is still reasonably high.

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}. Steel-types have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.

In total, there are 26 Pokémon with the Steel-type.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Kyatapii'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, whom evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Caterpie resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down its body. Its most notable characteristic is the bright orange antennae on its head. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon such as {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Weedle}}, suggesting that their evolutionary lines are closely related.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
The antennae on its head will omit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. It can also {{m2|String Shot|spit a string from its mouth}} in order to entangle foes.

===Behavior===
Caterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. They have various adaptations which permit them to safely devour plant material, including an antennae that releases a horrible smell. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. While some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are disgusted by the idea of {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, they are ideal targets for new Trainers as they are fairly weak in the wild and evolve into their final forms at a low level.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Caterpie can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Caterpie primarily feed on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Special]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Caterpie.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Caterpie in [[Generation I]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Caterpie he caught in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' that evolved into {{p|Metapod}} in the same episode and then {{AP|Butterfree}} [[EP004|the following episode]].

A Caterpie that appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'' belonging to a young trainer named [[Xander]] ate some of [[Dr. Gordon]]'s enhanced Rare Candies and turned [[Giant Pokémon|giant]]. Xander's Caterpie eventually evolved into a {{wp|Mothra|Mothra-sized}} {{p|Butterfree}}.

== In the manga ==
In [[Pokémon Get da ze!]], [[Shuu]] has a Caterpie that he uses in various creative ways, mostly involving strange uses of its {{m|String Shot}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]'', a Caterpie was attacked by an {{p|Ariados}}. [[Ginji]] had to save the Caterpie from harm.

===Pokémon Special===
Caterpie's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. It also makes a cameo in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]''.

{{Special|Yellow}} had a Caterpie named Kitty, which she did not want to [[evolution|evolve]]. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], she did not have her [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Caterpie evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

== In the TCG ==
{{main|Caterpie (TCG)}}

== Game data ==
=== NPC appearances ===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Caterpie is rescued in the first mission of the game. It is too young to be of any help to the rescue team but remains a strong fan throughout the game, even in its darkest hour.

Bell Tower

2008-10-10T02:32:12Z

RyanCross: located in Ecruteak City

{{Infobox location
|image=TinTower.png
|type=road
|location_name=Tin Tower
|location=Northeast [[Ecruteak City]]
|region=Johto
|generation=[[Generation II|II]]
}}

The '''Tin Tower''' (Japanese: '''スズのとう''' ''Tin Tower'') is a location in [[Johto]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the trainer finally comes to the Tin Tower, holding the [[Rainbow Wing]]. At this point, the player will be allowed to ascend the remaining eight levels of the tower, up to the roof, where {{p|Ho-Oh}} itself waits. However, in [[Pokémon Crystal]], players with a [[Clear Bell]] will be able to capture {{p|Suicune}} here, and only after catching each of the [[legendary beasts]], will a trainer be able to ascend the steps above the first floor to get to Ho-Oh.

Anyone who wishes to enter the tower must have either the [[Rainbow Wing]] or [[Clear Bell]], and must show these to the monk to enter.

==History==
Seven hundred years before the games' events, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'.

In the west was [[Brass Tower]], which was said to awaken Pokémon and in the east was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest, a similarity to the [[Hoenn]] region's [[Cave of Origin]] and [[Mt. Pyre]], respectively. At the time, {{p2|Lugia|an immense silver-colored Pokémon}}, was said to make its roost atop the [[Brass Tower]], while its counterpart, the glorious rainbow-colored Ho-Oh was said to rest at Tin Tower.

However, around 150 years before the games, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. Lugia and Ho-Oh escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze.

Brass Tower was also home to the three [[legendary beasts]]: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Raikou}}. When it burned down, the three beasts perished in the flames. However, when the fires were put out, Ho-Oh returned, resurrected the three, and left them to guard the ruins of the newly-Burned Tower.

Burned Tower

{{Infobox location

}}
'''Brass Tower''' (Japanese: '''かねのとう''' ''Gold Tower''), more often known in modern times as the '''Burned Tower''' (Japanese: '''やけたとう''' ''Burned Tower''), is a location in Johto.

The Brass Tower, with gleaming [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|silver-colored]] panels, was, according to legend, the perch of {{p|Lugia}}. Once as majestic as the [[Tin Tower]], the Brass Tower was burned to the ground by a mysterious fire. This chased the two [[legendary Pokémon]] away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. {{p|Lugia}} left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart. [[Image:BrassTower.png|right|600px|thumb|Brass Tower as seen in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.]]

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and {{v2|Crystal}}, the player encounters {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for the first time in the basement of the Brass Tower, who then [[Roaming Pokémon|flee]]. This is also where {{ga|Silver|the player's rival}} will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] he stole.

==Naming pun==

==Origin==
A Buddhist temple in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}}, covered in gold leaf, is known as {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}. Like Brass Tower, it was burned down; however, unlike it, it was reconstructed. The likeness of a {{p2|Ho-Oh|phoenix}} rests atop the tower.

'''Dewgong''' (Japanese: '''ジュゴン''' ''Jugon'') is a [[Pokémon]] that makes its home at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Its English voice actor is [[Michael Haigney]] and its Japanese voice actor is 上田祐司 ''[[Yuji Ueda]]''.

Dewgong first appeared as a {{p|Seel}} in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. It was most likely not used by [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] in {{pkmn|battle}} because they claimed they had no battling Pokémon when {{Ash}} challenged them for a [[badge]]. It held the {{Badge|Cascade}} on its tongue in this episode.

Seel appeared next in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. During a battle with [[Team Rocket]], Seel [[evolve]]d and was able to send them blasting off. Misty's sisters were surprised by Seel's strength in battle, not knowing how powerful it was until that point.

Since then, it has made several cameo appearances in {{g|Chronicles}} episodes that featured [[Misty]].

== Just a question ==

I don't really expect that I'll be chosen to be an admin (I would say it's unlikely since most of hereby admins hate me or have some kind of grudge against me). But I have one question to you. What does homophobe have to do with administratorship on a Pedia? Really, it's one of the most stupid "arguments" I heard in awhile. Not to mention I'm not a "homophobe". I would dispute about whether or not such thing as "homophobe" exists but it's a completely different topic so I'll leave it alone. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:13, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, I knew someone would bring this up. Here's the deal; I believe you're a great user. You've been here a long time and haven't yet ditched us. However, you have a hot temper. Fix that, and you're good to go with more people than you are now. However, I have a problem with the fact that it says on your userpage that you are racist, "an enemy of atheism," and "an enemy of homosexuality." An admin needs to be unbiased and keep a level head, and someone with such radical opinions would have a problem being impartial involving such elements. I think it takes a good deal of maturity to admit that you don't expect administratorship ATM, and that speaks well for you should you be nominated again in the future. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 02:00, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

== Theme decks etc ==

There are a lot of theme decks and deck archetypes without pages. You seemed to be the person who added the most pages and info about them, do you know where I can find information on them? I think that they should have their articles created because there are a lot appearing on the wanted pages, and you were the person who added the most info on them.

== Hey ==

I guess congratulations are in order. I have to admit I was surprised (only because you're one of the newer admins), but you earned it. On a different note - I'm glad to see what I said made you restrain your campaign a little. I do agree the nominations have gone out of control and people shouldn't be nominated because they're nice. You'll have to agree that it is one of the requirements, though, right? Many good mainspace contributions is another requirement - but not the only one. The bottom line is, and we both know it (I'll allow myself to say that given how the only reason I didn't get adminship this week is my hiatus), that there are certain qualities needed that aren't measured in numbers. Anyway, congratulations and good luck. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''zz''']] 21:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Leaf''' is the female counterpart to [[Red (game)|Red]] and main [[playable character]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. She lives in [[Pallet Town]], across from her upcoming rival in Pokémon training, [[Blue (game)|Blue]]. Leaf is presumably 11 years old, the same age as her male counterpart, Red. The equivalent character in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga is {{Special|Blue}}, who changes her outfit to match in the FireRed and LeafGreen chapter.

==Story==
Leaf is a curious 11-year-old girl from [[Pallet Town]]. Her adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. [[Blue (game)|Blue]] challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfil their dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] [[Pokémon champion|champion]]. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion herself.

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with [[Team Rocket]] many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try and revive the group.

==Trivia==
*In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Jigglypuff}} can wear Leaf's hat as an alternate costume. This is similar to how {{p|Pikachu}} wears {{ga|Red}}'s hat as an alternate costume.
*Leaf is the only player character who has not had an appearance in the anime, either through a counterpart (as is the case with {{jo|Jimmy}}/{{ga|Gold}} and {{Ash}}/{{ga|Red}} ) or a movie cameo (as has happened to {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|Lucas}}).
**Some speculate that if Leaf or a counterpart to her does appear, she would be one of the two unknown Trainers who started from [[Pallet Town]] on the same day as {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, choosing {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Charmander}}.
*Leaf was supposed to be in the original Red and Green versions, due to the fact that on Nintendo's Official guidebook, it depicted a female trainer with long brown hair, a black dress, white gloves and short black boots, alongside the male protagonist and the rival. It is believed she was supposed to be in the game, but was left out for some reason.
* Leaf's official artwork shows her with brown eyes but her sprite displays her with blue eyes.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''') is the main [[playable character]] in the [[Generation I]] games and is the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes. In Generation III, his female counterpart is [[Leaf (game)|Leaf]].

==Story==
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, [[Blue (game)|Blue]], stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two of them to his lab and gives them each a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Red to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfil his dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], he finds that Blue has beaten him to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] [[Pokémon champion|champion]]. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.
[[Image:Game character red.png|thumb|left|Red from Generation I]]
Red's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Red clashes with [[Team Rocket]] many times in his quest. He defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Red protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After he foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Red encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Red stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Red on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to try and revive the group.

By the [[Generation II]] games, Red is no longer the Champion and [[Lance]] has taken his place. Red's title is simply "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" in this Generation. He trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any {{pkmn|Trainer}}s he may come across. When {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the strongest [[party]] of Pokémon (with static levels) an NPC opponent has ever had in the series.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the last trainer players face in the combined [[Gym Leader Castle]], after the defeat of all of the others.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[Image:Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Red about to switch Pokémon.]]
[[Image:Red Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his [[Pokémon]].]]
Red's hat actually was the first object that made an appearance in the Smash Bros. series, worn as one of the alternate outfits of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Red himself appears in Brawl, in his [[Generation III]] design, here named [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He stands in the background and sends his Pokémon into the fight, which are alternated between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} in that order; each is a member of one of the [[Kanto]] [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] [[evolution]] families. His main stage, as well as {{p|Pikachu}}'s, is [[Pokémon Stadium 2 (stage)|Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Spear Pillar]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Melee Stages: Pokémon Stadium]]. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

Instead of fighting like other characters in the game, Red battles using his [[Party|team]]. Their moves are as follows. Note that all three Pokémon's Final Smashes combine to form [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

In terms of gameplay, Squirtle is very quick and good at rapid-fire close range attacks. Ivysaur is a good all-around fighter with balanced range and abilities but is poor in mid-air maneuvers. Charizard is very powerful and its attacks have lots of knockback, but it is very slow - its flying and gliding abilities make it excellent at returning to the stage, however.
His Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Subspace Emissary====
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by [[wp:Lucas (Mother 3)|Lucas]] in The Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save Ness. On their way to the Ruins, the two are ambushed by {{wp|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in The Ruined Hall, they are attacked by Galleom. Once defeated, it sets off a timer bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wp|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join him, [[wp:Fire Emblem|Marth, and Ike]] on their quest to take down the Subspace Army.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]]:''' ''"[[Pokémon Trainer]]... That's the guy giving [[Move|orders]] behind a Pokémon, right?"''
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell]]:''' ''"Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is [[Captured Pokémon|controlling]] {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
*'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

====Trophy information====
=====Pokémon Trainer=====
A person who [[Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s.
=====Triple Finish=====
The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen, but don't worry about it.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the [[anime]] and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are analogous but not the same and using one's name for the other is always a mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] is Ash. This is also untrue. [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow's]] protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime. In other words, Ash in the anime is based on Red in the game series, but this cannot imply after all that they are the same. Although this idea is of the most debatable topics in Pokémon, thinking about the analogy between the two characters is more convenient than considering them totally similar.

Another anime counterpart could be [[Ritchie]], another character with a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], who some see as a "perfect" manifestation of Ash, and a more closely-designed character to the original Red.

Other counterparts include {{Special|Red}} from Pokémon Special manga, [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]] manga, who also made a cameo appearance in anime, and [[Shuu]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

==Trivia==
*When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. After he is defeated, the screen blacks out and he vanishes, a reference to the fact that as the player, Red would black out and awake in the last-used [[Pokémon Center]] when he ran out of Pokémon.
*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team was at the highest level of any normal Trainer battle in the games (this excludes the Battle Tower and Battle Frontier, along with Stadium games and the like). His {{p|Pikachu}} had been the highest-leveled Pokémon one can face, as well, one level higher than {{p|Arceus}} in the wild. However, with the release of Platinum, the levels of the player's {{ga|Pearl|rival}}'s Pokémon have been boosted. Eventually his [[starter Pokémon]] will be level 85, and he has three other Pokémon that equal or exceed the level of Red's Pikachu.
*In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the first Pokémon character, other than {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
*An unused default name for Red in the [[Generation I]] games was "NINTEN". Conversely, [[Blue (game)|Blue]]'s unused default name is "SONY". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear.[http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=308&o=0&p=20]

RyanCross: Welcome to Bulbapedia!

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Gojiman!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Gojiman/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*All users are allowed to edit the userspace 3 times a day. If you edit more than 3 times, you may be subjected to a warning. If you ignore the warning, you will be given three chances to comply. If you do not comply, your ability to modify the userspace will be revoked for a period of time.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed [[pseudo-legendary]]. It [[evolve]]s from {{p|Gabite}} at [[level]] 48.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
A '''Garchomp''' is a fierce and predatorial dragon, known for its scales that have medicinal properties that can heal most [[Status ailment|illnesses]].

Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its [[Gabite (Pokémon)|previous evolution]]. It's eyes have black {{wp|retina}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}'. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|Garchomp "flying"]]
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
Garchomp has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, which may be a reference to the fictional dragon {{wp|Smaug}}. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.

===Habitat===
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, {{p|Gible}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games and anime, is a Garchomp.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
*Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
*Of the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[Level]] 100, with a maximum of ''only'' 394.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between an {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

==Trivia==
*Despite its name being Ga'''bite''', it cannot learn {{m|Bite}} or {{m|Crunch}}. However, Garchomp (its evolution) ''can'' learn Crunch.
*Gabite's scales have been said to be a cure for [[Status ailment|sickness]] as stated in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 (anime)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 special]].
====Origin====
Appearance-wise, Gabite seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|shark}}, it may be based on a {{wp|Land Shark}}.
=====Name origin=====
Gabite's name is possibly derived from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', which means to gobble or gulp down, and the English word ''bite''. It may also be derived from がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into.

Its German name, Knarksel, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and ''shark''. Its French name, Carmache, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and {{tt|mâcher|to chew}}.

===Trivia===
*Gible and its family may have been based to a degree on the {{wp|Saturday Night Live}} character, the Landshark.
*Gible's family is the only family of {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that retain the same typing throughout their entire evolutionary chain.
====Origin====
Appearance-wise, seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|shark}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Landshark|Land Shark}}.

=====Name origin=====
Fukamaru may be a combination of 鱶 ''fuka'', shark, and 丸 ''maru'', round. Gible may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''nibble''.
Its German name, Kaumalat, comes from {{tt|kauen|to chew}}. Its French name, Griknot, comes from {{tt|grignoter|to chew}} and {{tt|quenotte|milk tooth}}.

*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.

*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar.

====Origin====
Appearance-wise, Gabite seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|shark}}, it may be based on a {{wp|Land Shark}}.
=====Name origin=====
Gabite's name is possibly derived from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', which means to gobble or gulp down, and the English word ''bite''. It may also be derived from がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into.

Its German name, Knarksel, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and ''shark''. Its French name, Carmache, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and {{tt|mâcher|to chew}}.

Hello. Wouldn't "bot" be a confusing word to have in a username of an account that isn't a Bulbapedia bot account? Normal accounts should not have the word "bot" in their username because it might be confused with bot accounts. That should probably be mentioned in the policy page also. – [[User:RyanCross|'''Ryan'''Cross]] ([[User talk:RyanCross|''talk'']]) 01:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed [[pseudo-legendary]]. It evolves from [[Gabite (Pokémon)|Gabite]] at [[level]] 48.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
A '''Garchomp''' is a fierce and predatorial dragon, known for its scales that have medicinal properties that can heal most [[Status ailment|illnesses]].

Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its [[Gabite (Pokémon)|previous evolution]]. It's eyes have black {{wp|retina}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}'. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|Garchomp "flying"]]
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
Garchomp has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, which may be a reference to the fictional dragon {{wp|Smaug}}. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.

===Habitat===
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, {{p|Gible}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games and anime, is a Garchomp.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Garchomp (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
*Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
*Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
*Of the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[Level]] 100, with a maximum of ''only'' 394.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between an {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis cleanup}}
Our heroes are now walking through a thick forest. They come across a large cave entrance and [[Max]] comments that they have arrived at [[Granite Cave]]. May wonders what they will find in there and [[Brock]] suggests that they go inside and check it out to see if the Elite Trainer ([[Steven Stone]]) is there. Max says that many Pokémon must live in this cave. [[May]] reminds him that in a cave this dark, he shouldn't get his hopes up. [[Ash]] then stops the conversation by telling them all to follow. They then enter the cave.

Inside the cave, [[Team Rocket]] is digging a large hole. [[James]] stops digging to take a break and complains at how hot it is, but [[Jessie]] tells him to keep digging as [[Pikachu]] and the twerps should be here soon. As they bicker, [[Wobbuffet]] pops out. Jessie sighs and continues to dig.

Ash and co continue through the cave calling out to see if anyone is inside. Ash notices a fork in the cave and becomes confused, but Brock notices a red arrow pointing to the left. Ash calls out down the path, and they decide to try what's down there. At the end of the path, a man and his Aron are digging. The man stops to take a break and asks Aron if it found anything yet. Aron shakes its head and the man offers it some [[Pokémon food]]. It happily rushes to eat it.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket sits behind some rocks watching the hole that they dug. Jessie tells the others that the twerps are close, but James disagrees. They suddenly hear Ash call out and they hide. May rushes to the hole seeing the light above. Ash and co follow seconds later and they all tumble down it. Team Rocket rushes out and does a happy dance over their catch. Ash and co look up to see them just as the ground gives way beneath all of them. The man and his Aron hear the commotion as Ash and the others including Jessie, James and Meowth fall down a long set of paths and become separated. Max pops out of some dirt and calls for everyone. Pikachu and Meowth also pop out. Max realizes they have been separated and he tells Pikachu that they have to find the others. Meowth offers to help, but Max doesn't trust him.

But they decide to make a truce. Max and Pikachu begin to walk off, but Meowth refuses to follow Pikachu. Max tells him that they can leave him there. Pikachu and Max then walk away, but Meowth yells for them to return and rushes after them. Meanwhile, May pops out of another patch of dirt and complains on how dirty she is. Suddenly, Jessie falls down on top of her. They begin to argue when Jessie says she is going to try and get out. She stands up and tries to climb back up the hole, but it doesn't look too promising. In another part of the cave, Ash and James argue while standing shoulder high in a pile of dirt. Brock soon interrupts them and says they should try to get out of here and they can fight later. They all begin to wriggle and squirm, but they can't break free. They take a breath then try again, but still no luck.

Max, Pikachu and Meowth all continue on down the trail. Max explains to Meowth how he heard that a strong trainer from Devon Corp supposedly trains here. Pikachu suddenly smells something and Meowth motions that he also smells fresh air and he and Pikachu rush off and Max follows them.

The man and his Aron follow the path hoping to find the source of the crash. Ash, Brock, and James are on a different path. James soon begins to pout, saying it's useless and they'll be stuck here for the rest of their lives. He rushes ahead of them calling for Jessie and Meowth. Suddenly, a small ball falls from the ceiling. It opens up to reveal itself as an Aron. It steps into the light growling and Ash scans it with the Poké Dex. James walks up to it apparently not very impressed. He begins to prod at it with his hand, which only angers it. The Aron calls out causing many Aron to fall from the ceiling. Ash, Brock and James freak out. The Aron lunges and Ash and the others rush off down the path screaming. The man makes it to the hole Team Rocket dug and looks down. He notices the nets Team Rocket had and says to Aron that someone must've fallen down. He tells it that they have to help them and they both leap down.

Ash and co are still running for their lives. James notices two tunnels up ahead with another above them. He rushes towards them and begins to climb in the high one, but Ash and Brock push him down and climb up first. James turns around to see the pursuing Aron and rushes up screaming. The Aron horde continues on down one of the other paths. Max, Pikachu and Meowth make it to a lush waterfall with vines streaming down in the middle of the cave. They ponder at how it could grow here, and decide to climb the vines up.

Meanwhile, Jessie and May are having no luck. Jessie is still trying to squirm up the hole but May just sits there. She tells Jessie to hurry but she begins to scream saying May should help. May gets up telling her all she had to do was ask, and she begins to shove Jessie up the hole. Jessie emerges on another floor of the cave but she becomes stuck in the hole. She screams for May to push harder but it is no use. Suddenly, a Loudred falls from the floor above and dances around Jessie's head. Jessie freaks out and the Pokémon stomps her head and runs off. Jessie collapses and falls back down the hole. May asks what happened when they suddenly hear a voice from above.

The man and his Aron rush on hoping to find them. Meanwhile, Max, Pikachu and Meowth are climbing the vines. Meowth stops to take a break and begins to start a conversation with Max. Max wonders how Meowth can talk. Meowth begins to explain about how he learned to talk but Pikachu and Max ignore it and continue climbing. A pebble hits Meowth and he realizes they are leaving without him. He yells for them to hold on, and climbs as fast as he can.

Ash and co press on when they suddenly come to the same red arrow as before. They all become excited and rush down the path, only to fall into the same hole as before and tumble back down. The man and his Aron come back to the hole and hear them fall. Max continues on when Pikachu smells something again and they head towards it. Jessie and May are now exhausted as they walk down the path. May suddenly notices light at the end of the tunnel and they both run towards it, only to find the light was coming from above the same hole from before. They fall in screaming while Ash, Brock and James are chased by the Aron horde again.

Jessie and May fall down on top of them and they all begin to run from the horde. Max and the Pokémon rushes towards the screaming. They approach a dark part of the tunnel and the man and his Aron emerges. He asks them if they were the ones who fell down the hole. Max says that they were and adds that his other friends did too and Meowth explains that he too has friends missing. The man introduces himself as Steven Stone, son of [[Mr. Stone]]: the president of [[Devon Corporation]] and explains that the wild Aron in this cave are not very friendly, so they should find the others quickly. They rush down the tunnel and come to a hole. Max wonders how they will get across. Steven tells them to listen and they all look down to see Ash and co running below them. Max calls to them and they all look up. Steven tells them to meet him at the waterfall and the group continues to run.

Pikachu, Meowth and Max then grab onto Steven and they leap across the hole. Ash and co make it to the waterfall and turn to see the Aron horde approaching. Steven appears above them and tells them to just stay put. The Aron horde gets very close and they all begin to brace themselves for the worst, but suddenly, the horde is stopped dead in their tracks. Ash and co open their eyes to see them all leaving. Steven jumps down as Ash and co stare confusedly. Team Rocket now takes this chance to steal Pikachu. They say their motto and Ash warns Steven that Team Rocket is no good, and he should watch out. Jessie releases Seviper and James calls out Cacnea, which gives him a nice hug. Steven tells them to stop. He tells them that he can't allow them to steal Pokémon, and releases his Aggron. Ash scans it with the Poké Dex. Aggron uses Hyper Beam and Team Rocket is blasted off sky high. Ash is in awe at the immense power of his Aggron.

Suddenly, Aron motions to Steven that he found something. Steven rushes up to find a fire stone. Ash and co are impressed and Steven explains that he's been digging for days looking for one. Steven agrees to lead them out of the cave. Outside, Steven boards a small boat with Aron and tells Ash and co that he must go. They thank him for his help as he gives Ash some encouraging advice. He then sets off as Ash and co wave goodbye. Now Ash is more determined then ever to train hard so he may one day match up to Steven and Aggron. They watch Steven go as the sun sets over the ocean.

Hey there, I'm {{user|RyanCross}}, a contributer to [[Bulbapedia]]. I created my account on October 9, 2008. I created my account because I know quite a lot about [[Pokémon]], and I decided I wanted to help share my knowledge of Pokémon with the world. I hope my contributions will help this site improve so that readers of this site can learn more about Pokémon.
----
I first got into Pokémon by watching the [[Generation I]] television shows (I'm sure everyone got into Pokémon this way?). I started to like the show, and started to play the video games. My first Pokémon game I ever played was [[Pokémon FireRed]]. I worked on my [[Pokédex]] for that game for about three years, and I've still got a few more Pokémon to catch. My Pokédex on FireRed has about 300+ captured Pokémon data in it. From here, I played the [[Pokémon Ruby]], [[Pokémon Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald]] versions. I liked Emerald the most though, and played that pretty often. I also liked playing [[Pokémon Crystal]] a lot. Playing the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]] games was pretty fun too. When [[Pokémon Diamond]] came out along with [[Pokémon Pearl]], I ''really'' liked playing Diamond, and continued to play and migrate my Pokémon from FireRed to it. Then I got [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] for [[Wii]] and completed each stadium and their bosses at least once. I'm planning on getting [[Pokémon Platinum]] soon. Diamond is my favorite Pokémon game so far.

Well, if you want to have a Pokémon battle with me, just [[Special:EmailUser/RyanCross|e-mail me]] about it and I'll see if I have time for a battle. I'll probably only battle on Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Battle Revolution for now. Just e-mail me all the information on what kind of battle you want to play in, etc. If I accept the challenge, I'll battle you. We'll see what happens from there. ;-)

I have a lot of Pokémon I have trained. I have numerous strategies I use in Pokémon. Some include: Stall, Burn, Power hitters, protection, and 2-hit KO (one of my favorites). My very first Pokémon was a [[Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]], and I got pretty fond of the [[Dragon-type]] (or somewhat Dragon-type such as [[Charizard (Pokémon)|Charizard]] and [[Gyarados (Pokémon)|Gyarados]]) Pokémon, so I ''usually'' use Dragon-type Pokémon. I sometimes use [[Legendary Pokémon]], sometimes I don't, or sometimes I do a mixture of it. Overall, I train a lot of different Pokémon and come up with different strategies. The following is a (incomplete) list of Pokémon that I commonly use in battle:

Mew glitch

2008-10-09T09:05:01Z

RyanCross: ref after punctuation

{{cleanup}}
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild {{p|Mew}} being found using the Mew glitch]]The '''Mew Glitch''' is a software bug in the [[Generation I]] Game Boy Games, discovered in 2003.<ref>http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mew-glitch</ref> This glitch is famous for allowing players to catch any Pokémon in the game, most notably {{p|Mew}}, without the use of GameShark or other hacking device. Method #3 allows one to catch any Pokémon in the game (even rare and previously unknown [[glitch Pokémon]] such as [[LM4]] and [[X - x]].)

==Methods==

Below are the methods on acquiring Mew in the Generation I Game Boy Games.

===Method #1===

To acquire Mew at the earliest point possible in the game, the player must not have defeated the Youngster with the [[level|Lv.]] 17 {{p|Slowpoke}} on [[Route 25]] (The glitch also works with the Swimmer♂ in Cerulean Gym, meaning two Mew are avaliable) or the Junior Trainer (the one who says "I saw your feat from the grass" when the battle with him begins) on Route 24 in the grass. It is prudent to save before doing this. The player must defeat [[Nugget Bridge]] as usual without engaging a battle with the Junior Trainer.

Before attempting this glitch, it is ideal to have several [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] stocked up.

The player first heals at the [[Cerulean City]] Pokémon Center, so they may {{m|Teleport}} there later.

The trainer returns to Route 24 and catches (or trades over) an {{p|Abra}}, withdraws the Abra if it is in the PC, then returns to Route 24 if not already there. The trainer stands above the Junior Trainer so that he is just offscreen. They then move down until seen, and '''immediately''' press START. The trainer then uses Teleport with Abra. If done correctly, the trainer should get the indicative exclamation mark while the player teleports.

At this point, the Start menu will not work. The player then heads north towards Route 25 to the Youngster and battles him. It is imperative to not battle anything or anyone else or talk to anyone before then, including the Youngster. The trainer '''must''' engage in battle by him seeing them, '''not''' by walking towards him, as walking towards him will cause the game to freeze.

After defeating the Youngster, the player then walks towards Cerulean City. After a small amount of steps, the Start menu appears. Pressing the B button should begin a battle against a Lv. 7 Mew.

If used on other trainers other than the Youngster, it will often be a different Pokémon (depending on the trainer's Pokémon's Special stat); for instance, the Lass below the Youngster will result in a {{p|Lapras}}, which is normally only avaliable at [[Silph Co.]]

===Method #2===
Go to the [[Gambler]] in front of the Underground Tunnel entrance east of [[Saffron City]]. Place self north of him so that he is just off screen. Take one step south closer to him, but make sure that he does not see you then '''immediately''' press START. If the player is spotted, try again so that he doesn't. If it was successful, the menu will appear and the player will be able to {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, or {{m|Teleport}}. Use Fly to reach [[Cerulean City]]. While you are flying, the exclamation point that usually appears above a [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]]'s head when they wish to battle you will appear. Go to [[Route 24]] and defeat the trainer that owns a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Have him walk towards you to battle or the game will freeze. Defeat his Slowpoke, then Fly to [[Lavender Town]] and head west to [[Route 8]]. Mew will then appear.

(Note: You must battle the Slowpoke trainer on Route 24, but you do not have to battle the Gambler in front of the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}}. Any trainer will do. One option is to battle one of the two bikers who are next to each other on [[Route 14]], then battle the Slowpoke trainer, then return to Route 14. Because Route 14 is isolated, players should use [[Repel]] to prevent from running into Pokémon in the grass that would mess up the trick.)

===Method #3===
[[image:LM4found.PNG|frame|right|[[LM4|LM4]] is just one of hundreds of normal and glitch Pokémon that can be found using Method #3]]
''This method is also known as the "extended Mew glitch".''

Go to the [[Gambler]] east of [[Saffron City]] or either the [[Biker]] in western [[Route 14]] or the one just below him (there are two of them together). Have the trainer go off screen then walk up to him and '''immediately''' press START before the trainer spots you. When the menu appears, {{m|Fly}} to [[Fuchsia City]] and go east towards [[Route 15]]. Make sure a Pokémon with a [[Stat|Special Stat]] of 21 is with you. Place that Pokémon first in your party then battle ANY trainer in the game. Make sure the trainer walks up to you, and that you don't approach the trainer directly. Defeat the trainer and then find a wild {{p|Ditto}}. Keep yourself in battle with it long enough so that it uses {{m|Transform}} on your Pokémon with the Special Stat of 21. Then defeat the Ditto. After defeating it, avoid running into any other wild Pokémon and/or battling any other trainers. Go back to the Route where the trainer you first evaded is located (for the Gambler, east of Saffron City, for the Bikers, Route 14). Press the B Button and Mew will appear.

This method can be used to catch any Pokémon in the game, even [[Missingno.#Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow|Missingno. in Yellow Version]]. While a Pokémon with a specal stat of 21 will give one Mew, using a Pokémon with a different special stat will give you a different Pokémon. For example, in the Red/Blue versions, if a Pokémon with a Special stat of 198 is used, a glitch called "[[LM4]]" will appear instead of Mew. (See [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html])

It is important to note that in the Yellow version, wild Ditto ''cannot'' be found at Route 15. Instead, Yellow version players should follow all of the steps above, but instead go to the [[Pokémon Mansion]]'s basement located in [[Cinnabar Island]]. This is because Ditto can be found there in the Yellow version. Also, Yellow version players must bring an Escape Rope, Repel, or a Pokémon with teleport with them to use immediately after defeating a wild Ditto so that the player will not fail the glitch by running into the wrong Pokémon.

==Overview==
The glitch in fact works as follows: Any trainer can be used for the first section (Junior Trainer), as long as the trainer notices you as soon as they enter the game screen, and that you are walking towards them from either the top, left or right (walking from below will not work). Any movement move (Teleport, Dig, Fly) can be used to trigger the glitch, or Escape Rope if in a dungeon. For the Youngster, any Pokémon will do as long as it can be fought without walking up to a trainer. To finish off the glitch, you must return to the route of the trainer you "evaded." The Pokémon that you will find wild is dependent on the Special stat of the Pokémon you last faced (wild or from the trainer), and so using a Pokémon with the Special you need and finding a {{p|Ditto}} that transforms will produce an identical effect. For the record, the required Special stat for Mew is 21 (This is based on [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html hexadecimal numbers], so you can get the appropriate number for a different Pokémon from a hacking device code list, then translate it to decimal).
