Legendary Pokémon

[[File:2018 Legendary Pokemon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Legendary Pokémon]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are often featured prominently in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are currently {{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Legendary Pokémon}} - 16}} Legendary Pokémon. No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|animation}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

[[Special Pokémon]] are a subcategory of Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

In some uncommon cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" is used to refer to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games, such as in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==Overview==
===In the core series games===
[[File:USUM Ultra Necrozma and Legendary Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|Various Legendary Pokémon battling by [[Kazuma Koda]]]]
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|interactable]] or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

Legendary Pokémon are most commonly [[gender unknown]], although many are not. In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon usually cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, and {{p|Kubfu}} all can. Many Legendary Pokémon can change [[form]]s. Legendary Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo or trio.

Legendary Pokémon typically appear near the end of a [[regional Pokédex]], with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

====Statistical average====
High [[base stats]] are shared by most Legendary Pokémon, and they generally have a base stat total of at least 600. These averages consider alternate [[form]]s as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
{{main|Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
Most Legendary Pokémon can be obtained only once per save file; in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games or [[Event Pokémon|obtain one through an event]]. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is not a Legendary Pokémon, but rather a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In animation===
====''Pokémon the Series''====
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Legendary Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Many are worshiped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]], and by people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Some Legendary Pokémon exhibit stubborn behavior and a rudely distrust of humans, like {{p|Raikou}}.

Trainers owning Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, or even battling with non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in [[Poké Balls]] and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} participated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer entered the same tournament with a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own mission. The ancient adventurer [[Lucius]] used to travel with a [[Black Rayquaza|Shiny Rayquaza]], {{p|Moltres|Galarian Moltres}}, and an {{p|Entei}}.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}} in {{aniseries|GS}}, and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} at the end of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
The legendary birds—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird. Each is also associated with a {{season}} (though none of the three are associated with autumn).

In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, each bird gains a [[Galarian form]].

====Mewtwo====
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region.

Mewtwo is the enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Mewtwo gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]].

In [[Pokken Tournament]], Mewtwo is turned into [[Shadow Mewtwo]] by a Shadow synergy stone, which possessed it. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.

===Generation II===
Five more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Raikou, Entei, and Suicune====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
The legendary beasts—{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. These legendary Pokémon are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities.

According to legend, three Pokémon were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death; the trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. The legendary beasts of the Johto region are not the only individuals of these species, however; for example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary Beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in the game's [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, that were all brought to [[Area Zero]] at some point by [[Professor Sada]] through her [[time machine]].

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
{{main|Tower duo}}
The tower duo—{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They are a pair of birdlike Pokémon based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fenghuang}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

According to legend in the Johto region, they formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers; however, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away. Lugia resolved to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh left to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Lugia is turned into a [[Shadow Lugia]] by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]].

{{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh also featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.

===Generation III===
Eight new Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Five of them also received new forms.

====Regirock, Regice, and Registeel====
{{main|Legendary giants}}
{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} are three legendary giants {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, often require solving puzzles to find them in the games; in the Hoenn games, they can only be encountered after solving [[braille]] puzzles.

The legend of the giants is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created three Pokémon in its image: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay; {{p|Regice}}, from ice; and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}} the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

====Latios and Latias====
{{main|Eon duo}}
The eon duo—{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region.

Only one of the duo is normally available in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of their [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Latiasite]] and [[Latiosite]] respectively.

====Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon}}
The super-ancient Pokémon—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and the {{wp|atmosphere}}.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all three gained new forms. Kyogre and Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon through the use of the [[Blue Orb]] and the [[Red Orb]]. Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] without the need of a [[Mega Stone]]. only need to know the [[move]] {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post–[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].

====Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
The lake guardians—{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They each represent the spirit of consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

====Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina====
{{main|Pokémon of Myth}}
The Pokémon of Myth—{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

{{main|Guardian deities}}
The tapu—{{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Lele}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}}—are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. They serve as the guardian deities of each of Alola's four main islands: Tapu Koko on [[Melemele Island]], Tapu Lele on [[Akala Island]], Tapu Bulu on [[Ula'ula Island]], and Tapu Fini on [[Poni Island]].

Alola's [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. [[Grand trial]]s are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. The Tapu are known to be very kind in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered.

According ''The Light of Alola'', a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved form {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Alola]]. They are the pre-Evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> but more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem can evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

According to [[Malie City#Malie Library|Alolan legend]], Cosmog were given to the [[guardian deities]] by [[Light trio|Solgaleo and Lunala]] as heirs of the region, with the tapu watching over the Cosmog until they could grow up and evolve.

====Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma====
{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Solgaleo and Lunala are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, while Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the mascots of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. They are said to have come from [[Ultra Space]].

Solgaleo and Lunala have {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences#Solgaleo|form like-transformations}} known as Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms (all introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}): Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. It transforms into Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma when it has absorbed Solgaleo or Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can transform into Ultra Necrozma after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

All three have their own unique Z-Crystals: [[Solganium Z]], [[Lunalium Z]] and [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals. [[Z-Power]] comes from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s (and [[Z-Ring]]/[[Z-Power Ring]]s by extension) are pieces of Necrozma that channel Z-Power in order to produce [[Z-Move]]s.

According to ''The Light of Alola'', a book in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], they gave light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The guardian deities battled them and lost, with the duo gifting the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. In legends in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is referred to as "The Blinding One", as it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space, before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds, and even from Solgaleo and Lunala, in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

*In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[forces of nature]], {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
**In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
**Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
*The [[Generation I]] games and their later remakes are the only [[core series]] games where:
**The main plot does not involve any Legendary Pokémon.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the core series games which serve as region debuts did not have any Legendary Pokémon from previous generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
**From [[Generation III]] onwards, all upper versions, sequels, and remakes in the core series have Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
*The legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in twenty core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
*Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
*Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
*So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
**The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
**Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
**Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

'''Gulpin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴクリン''' ''Gokulin'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Swalot}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Gulpin is a round, green, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

===Evolution===
Gulpin evolves into {{p|Swalot}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In the anime==
[[File:Rocket Prize Master Gulpin.png|thumb|right|250px|Gulpin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Multiple Gulpin debuted in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in. Because of this, [[Professor Jacuzzi]] made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up [[Giant Pokémon|enlarging]] one of the Gulpin, as well as [[Ash's Treecko]]. While Treecko was restored to normal size, the Gulpin remained giant even after being [[Caught Pokémon|caught]].

In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', multiple Gulpin were living in the wetlands that [[Ash's Goodra]] was from. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', they watched {{an|Serena}}'s performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', they were seen when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Gulpin was living at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was particularly close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Gulpin came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped [[Clemont]] to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using {{m|Gastro Acid}}.

In ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll…]]'', {{TRT}}'s {{OBP|Pelipper|Team Rocket}} accidentally sent out multiple Gulpin from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. They caused [[Goh]], Ash, and a variety of Pokémon to get stuck together in a large ball, causing trouble across [[Vermilion City]].

===Minor appearances===

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Gulpin.png|220px|thumb|Gulpin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, Gulpin will wait until an opponent passes by, then will use {{m|Swallow}} to trap and constantly damage them. The opponent may also be beat on while in Gulpin's mouth for extra damage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."''

==Trivia==
* Gulpin is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 302.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[mass outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Cipher Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Gulpin's second main stage ([[Blau Salon|stage 419]]) has the highest overall [[Drop (Shuffle)|drop rates]] for [[List of items (Shuffle)#Personalized Skill Booster|personalized Skill Boosters]] among main stages.
** Its drop rates also surpass those of most [[special stage]]s, though it is matched by [[Great Challenge]] stages that cost 2 [[Currency (Shuffle)#Hearts|Hearts]]; and the [[Daily Pokémon]] stages that feature "winking" variants, which occur every 4 weeks. It is surpassed by most [[One Chance a Day]] stages, but only those that guarantee at least one personalized Skill Booster drop.

===Origin===
Gulpin, given its category, may be based on a {{wp|stomach}}, given its round amorphous shape and the digestive gases it produces.

Gulpin may also be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores {{wp|gastric acid}}. It also shares similarities with some {{wp|snake}} species known to swallow their prey whole, though its general shape resembles a {{wp|slug}}, or also a {{wp|sculpin}}, particularly the {{wp|grunt sculpin}}.

====Name origin====
Gulpin may be derived from ''gulping'', ''sculpin'' or ''gulp in''. It may also involve ''toxin''.

Gokulin may be derived from ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (in one gulp). It may also involve ''toxin''.

'''Henry Sword''' (Japanese: '''剣創人''' ''Tsurugi Sōdo'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Character==
Henry is an assistant to [[Professor Magnolia]], helping her research the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. He is often referred to as (Japanese: '''そーちゃん''' ''Sō-chan'') by {{Casey}} and Professor Magnolia.

Henry was born to a family of swordsmiths and was taught how to repair weapons. He used this knowledge to become a (Japanese: '''身具{{tt|職人|マイスター}}''' ''Tool Meister''), where he repairs various objects Pokémon use in {{pkmn|battle}}, such as his {{p|Sirfetch'd|Lancelot}}'s leek lance or his {{p|Thwackey|Twiggy}}'s sticks.

==History==
===Past===
One year prior to the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, Henry and Casey first met at the entrance of the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Despite it being forbidden to enter, they went inside to obtain a [[Wishing Star]] Casey spotted falling into the forest. They found two Wishing Stars, with Casey taking one for herself and giving the other to Henry as thanks for his help. Henry and Casey then found themselves surrounded by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Realizing the two Pokémon were merely illusions, Henry and Casey passed through them, only to be knocked unconscious by a bright flash of light. After coming to, Henry discovered the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] he was looking for had disappeared. Casey was distraught to find that her Pokémon had gone missing. After a failed search attempt, Henry and Casey decided the only way to find Casey's missing team members was to enter the Gym Challenge, hoping to use their fame to spread the word about the missing Pokémon.

Henry debuted in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]''. He was first seen rescuing a young boy named [[Marvin]] from falling off a cliff. Later, Marvin was taken to Henry by Casey in order to properly thank him for saving his life earlier. After a brief introduction, Casey offered to let Marvin participate in a [[Dynamax]] simulation with her and Henry. Together, they fought and defeated a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}} hologram, giving Marvin the confidence to set out on a Pokémon journey. Having received approval from his parents, Marvin joined the others on their quest to study Dynamax. Later, everyone found [[Leon]] on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a large flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. Henry and Casey stepped in to help, driving off an {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing themselves, Leon left to appear on a television program in [[Motostoke]]. To Marvin's surprise, Henry and Casey revealed they helped Leon hoping that their efforts would leave enough of an impression that he'd give them an endorsement for the Gym Challenge.

[[File:Henry Gym Challenge uniform Adventures.png|thumb|left|120px|Henry in his [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] uniform]]
In ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]'', a trio of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Drednaw}} attacked Magnolia's trailer house. In order to battle the Bite Pokémon, Henry and Casey each received a [[Rotom Phone]] with a [[Pokédex]] function installed, officially making them both [[Pokédex holder]]s. With some assistance from [[Sniffler|Sobble]], the Drednaw were defeated. Afterwards, Professor Magnolia suggested Marvin keep Sobble, which he happily accepted.

In ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', Henry and the others arrived in the [[Wild Area]]. While they traveled, Casey was delivered a package that contained Gym Challenge uniforms for her and Henry. When a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s tried to destroy the uniforms, Henry and Casey pushed them into a [[Pokémon Den]], forcing the four to team up in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against the wild {{p|Gurdurr}} that lurked inside. Eventually, the Gurdurr was defeated and caught by Henry, but the Grunts' Pokémon were knocked out during the battle, forcing them to flee.

In ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]'', Henry and Casey registered for the Gym Challenge in Motostoke. The group encountered [[Sonia]], a researcher and Magnolia's granddaughter. When the trailer car broke down, Magnolia asked the others to research the geoglyph in [[Turffield]] in her place. Along the way, on {{rt|3|Galar}}, Henry and the others met [[Hop]], [[Bede]], and [[Marnie]], a trio of Gym Challengers. They were unable to progress due to a large boulder blocking the entrance to [[Galar Mine]]. After Casey and the others moved the boulder and went ahead, Henry stayed behind to talk with Bede. Henry pointed out Bede was trying to protect the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain Wishing Stars that could be found inside the mine. Later, the others gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they watched Henry face [[Milo]] in a Gym battle and won. Once Casey won her match, she, Henry, and Marvin prepared to head off to the next Gym in [[Hulbury]].

In ''[[PASS08|Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex]]'', Henry trained with Marvin in [[Hulbury]] to prepare for his upcoming Gym battle. Though Marvin eventually called the battle off, {{p|Grookey|Twiggy}} gained enough experience to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Thwackey}}. Shortly afterwards, Henry and Marvin encountered [[Rose]], who revealed that Hulbury's Gym Leader [[Nessa]] also worked as a model. Later, everyone went to [[Hulbury Stadium]], where Henry faced Nessa in a Gym battle. Despite the power of Nessa's [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}}, it lost to Twiggy after it Dynamaxed, making Henry the winner. Afterwards, Henry and Sonia had dinner with Rose at the Captain's Table restaurant. Noting Sonia's study of the Dynamax phenomenon, Rose invited her to investigate the vault in [[Hammerlocke]].

In ''[[PASS10|Blazing!! Bede's Feelings]]'', Henry was confronted by Bede, who had been infuriated after learning of Henry's dinner with Rose. Wanting Henry to retire from the Gym Challenge, Bede challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} but lost. Despite this, Bede revealed the reason he was collecting Wishing Stars was to help Rose.

In ''[[PASS12|Thump!! The Gazing Sage]]'', after completing the third Gym, Henry used his newly-obtained [[Rotom Bike]] to head to Hammerlocke. Upon arriving, he was greeted by [[Raihan]], the Hammerlocke Gym Leader, and challenged to a battle that ended in Raihan's victory. They went to the vault, only to find Sonia under attack by a wild {{p|Oranguru}}. Noticing that Oranguru was angered after Sonia accidentally stepped on its fan, Henry had his and Raihan's Pokémon keep Oranguru busy, allowing him to fix the fan. Calmed down, the Sage Pokémon thanked Henry and joined his team, where it was nicknamed Fanguru. Henry and Sonia entered the vault, where they found tapestries depicting two heroes involved in the [[Darkest Day]] instead of the singular hero portrayed on the statue in the Budew Drop Inn.
[[File:Henry battling Opal.png|thumb|200px|Henry battling Opal]]
In ''[[PASS13|Glittering!! The Tapestry in the Vault]]'', after reuniting with the others, Henry traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]], where he fought [[Allister]] in a Gym battle. While he went up against Allister's Gigantamax {{p|Gengar}}, Henry heard the voice of his deceased father and swordsmith master, giving him the determination to win. Later, after arriving in [[Ballonlea]], Henry prepared to face [[Opal]], but wasn't allowed onto the field until he answered one of her quizzes. After giving an answer, Henry was forced to wait for his turn while Hop battled Opal first. In the meantime, Henry trained with Marvin's newly-evolved [[Sniffler]] to devise a strategy against Opal's Gigantamax {{p|Alcremie}}. The training proved successful, allowing Henry to defeat Opal.

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', Casey was defeated by Opal and eliminated from the Gym Challenge. Henry promised to help keep the public informed of Casey's missing team members. They traveled to [[Route 9 Tunnel]], where people had reported seeing Pokémon Dynamaxing despite it not being a Power Spot. They found several Trainers attacking a wild {{p|Dracovish}}, but Marvin saved it by catching Dracovish and escaping with the others. Upon arriving at [[Circhester]], the group encountered the Gym Leader [[Melony]], who requested that Henry repair an ice cane tool belonging to her {{p|Mr. Rime}}.

In ''[[PASS19|Crunch!! Snowy Battle]]'', a group of {{p|Eiscue}} stole the cane and Mr. Rime's Poké Ball. The {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the area were fans of Mr. Rime, who used to put on performances for them. After reuniting with her Eiscue, Peta, Casey kept the other Pokémon at bay while Henry fixed the cane. When Henry later told Melony the repairs weren't fully completed, she allowed him to keep Mr. Rime, who had taken a liking to Henry. Afterward, Sonia took everyone to the Bob's Your Uncle restaurant, where a fifth tapestry was being held. She speculated it was thrown away to keep a piece of Galar's history out of public knowledge. Upon examining the tapestries, Casey regained some memories of the Slumbering Weald incident. She told Henry the culprits who stole her Pokémon and the Rusted Sword and Shield were a couple of celebrities.

In ''[[PASS22|Grrr!! Noble Kidnappers]]'', Sonia told Henry and the others to meet her around [[Spikemuth]] so she could deliver information on the thieves behind the Slumbering Weald incident. While they waited, the trailer car was attacked by a {{p|Golisopod}} and {{p|Bronzong}} belonging to [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], whom Casey recognized as the thieves from a year ago. The brothers agreed to return Mega and Giga if Casey hand over a camera to them, only for [[Piers]] to appear and reveal the camera was in his possession. Piers gave the camera up and convinced the brothers to leave, only to have secretly removed the memory card containing the incriminating data. When the brothers returned for the memory card, Henry and the others uncovered their faces. Sordward and Shielbert attacked Henry and Casey, but were easily defeated by Piers and forced to flee. Casey and the others reunited with Marnie and Hop, the former revealing she and Piers are siblings.

In [[PASS25]], after being informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose, Sordward, and Shielbert were working together, Henry's group and the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. While the Gym Leaders were impeded by [[Oleana]], Henry, Casey, Bede, Hop, and Marnie went to meet with Rose, only to find he was actually in Hammerlocke. On a video screen, Rose appeared and revealed his plan to restart the Darkest Day and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. While heading to Hammerlocke, Henry's group watched a news program where Sordward and Shielbert announced their intention to use the Rusted Sword and Shield to take out {{p|Eternatus}}, the Pokémon causing the Darkest Day. Upon arriving at the [[Energy Plant]], everyone ran into Leon's group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In [[PASS27]], Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent Sordward and Shielbert to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite claiming to be descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, the brothers were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana clarified Rose was working for Galar's benefit and asked everyone help him stop Eternatus. Henry, Casey, and Sonia stayed behind to interrogate Sordward and Shielbert while everyone headed to the summit. Casey was reunited with Giga and Mega, who escaped after Sordward and Shielbert were defeated and retrieved the Rusted Sword and Shield. While Henry tried repairing the rusted items, the others successfully took Eternatus down, only for it to unleash its Eternamax form. Eternatus easily overwhelmed the others, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Zacian and Zamazenta. Believing that the rusted items would return to their original forms if wielded by their proper owners, Casey and Sonia told Henry to give them up. Henry refused, revealing he only took part in the Gym Challenge just to obtain the Rusted Sword and Shield. As Zacian and Zamazenta lifted the rusted items into the air, Henry desperately kept holding onto them, only to be grabbed by Eternatus.

[[File:Casey Henry Dojo Outfits.png|thumb|left|200px|Henry in his Master Dojo uniform]]
In [[PASS30]], Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double {{m|Giga Impact}}, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and Marvin reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something {{m|teleport}}ing Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. They also realized Henry's strange behavior earlier was because he touched some of Eternatus's poison. By tracking samples of the poison and the material of the rusted artifacts, they found matching signals on both the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Casey, Marvin, Bede, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.

In [[PASS31]], [[Klara]] and [[Avery]] found an unconscious and poisoned Henry at the [[Soothing Wetlands]]. They took Henry to the [[Master Dojo]], and with [[Hyde]]'s [[Cram-o-matic]], Klara made medicine that cured Henry but also caused his hair to rapidly grow. Noticing Henry was reluctant to rejoin his friends due to his behavior at the Tower Summit, [[Mustard]] allowed him to stay at the dojo until he was ready to leave. Later, Casey and Marvin arrived at the dojo. After apologizing, Henry joined Casey and Marvin in searching for ingredients capable of curing Eternatus's poison. While they stayed on the island, Henry and Casey received Master Dojo uniforms to wear. Mustard lent Henry his {{p|Kubfu}}, hoping that traveling around would help Kubfu see the world and overcome its shyness.

In [[PASS33]], Klara and Avery led Henry's group to the [[Forest of Focus]]. They successfully collected the necessary tree sap, only to later anger a {{p|Greedent}} and its {{p|Skwovet}} underlings. Sniffler, Twiggy, and [[Bit]] teamed up to fend off the gang, evolving into their final forms in the process. In [[PASS35]], while searching for the rusted items, Henry's group came across the [[Tower of Darkness]]. A {{tc|Master Dojo Student}} barred the group from entering unless Henry used Kubfu to defeat her in a one-on-one battle. Despite their best efforts, Kubfu failed to defeat the student's {{p|Impidimp}}.

In [[PASS36]], after several days of training, Kubfu decided to train at the [[Tower of Waters]]. Henry and Kubfu battled through multiple floors until they reached the top, where Mustard and his {{form|Single Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}} was waiting for them. Though Urshifu was a powerful foe, Kubfu eventually defeated it with a super-effective {{m|Close Combat}}. Mustard allowed Kubfu to examine the [[Scroll of Waters]], causing it to evolve into a {{form|Rapid Strike Style}} Urshifu. With their training complete, Mustard suggested that Henry permanently keep Urshifu on his team, which he accepted. Afterward, Henry joined Casey and Marvin at [[Loop Lagoon]]. They located the Rusted Shield in a nearby tree, only to find it guarded by a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that flew in from the Crown Tundra with Hop in its talons. With Hop's assistance, Moltres was stunned long enough for Henry to take the shield. The Malevolent Pokémon quickly got back up, grabbed Henry, and carried him to a snow-covered field in the Crown Tundra. There, Henry reunited with Bede, who took him to [[Freezington]] to meet [[Peony]]. Noting that Henry's personality reminded him of his younger brother, Rose, Peony immediately took a disliking towards the boy.

In [[PASS38]], [[Peonia]] came to participate in Peony's "adven-tours", much to her father's delight. At Peonia's suggestion, Peony also allowed Henry to join his exploration team. That night, Peonia found her father floating in midair. Bede explained that it was the work of {{p|Calyrex}}, the King of Bountiful Harvests, in order for it to communicate with humans. The three agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in exchange for it locating the Rusted Sword. Henry and the others worked to reunite Calyrex with its former loyal steed, {{p|Spectrier}}. With the [[Black Mane Hair]] collected from Spectrier and the [[Radiant Petal]] Calyrex made, Henry forged the [[Reins of Unity]]. The group lured Spectrier to the [[Crown Shrine]], but they were interrupted by a Gigantamaxed {{p|Corviknight}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. Realizing the Darkest Day had restarted, Henry, Bede, Peony, and Peonia fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into its {{form|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword.

In [[PASS41]], Henry and Bede returned to the Galar mainland, where they reunited with Casey, Hop, and Marvin. They witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their {{form|Zacian and Zamazenta|Crowned Sword and Shield}} forms. They headed to Hammerlocke to face Eternatus once more, but the entrance was blocked by three Gigantamaxed Pokémon. They were used by a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert be released from jail with their status as nobles reinstated. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Henry, Casey, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede determine where Eternatus was hiding itself with his Gigantamax {{p|Hatterene}}. With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength to quickly finish off the {{pkmn|category|Gigantic Pokémon}}, putting an end to the Darkest Day.

In [[PASS43]], several months later, Henry decided to search for the tool-wielding {{p|Tinkatink}} in another region. He said his goodbyes to Casey, Marvin, and Sonia and went off to the nearest train station.

'''Casey Shield''' (Japanese: '''盾シルドミリア''' ''Tate Shirudomiria'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Character==
Casey is a computer engineer and an assistant to [[Professor Magnolia]], helping her research the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. She is often referred to as (Japanese: '''しーちゃん''' ''Shī-chan'') by {{Henry}}, [[Marvin]], and Professor Magnolia.

Casey is very active and tends to shout all the time, even when the person she's talking to is right next to her.

==History==
===Past===
One year prior to the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, Casey and Henry first met at the entrance of the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Despite it being forbidden to enter, they went inside to obtain a [[Wishing Star]] Casey spotted falling into the forest. They found two Wishing Stars, with Casey taking one for herself and giving the other to Henry as thanks for his help. Casey and Henry then found themselves surrounded by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Realizing the two Pokémon were merely illusions, Casey and Henry passed through them, only to be knocked unconscious by a bright flash of light. After coming to, Casey was distraught to find that her Pokémon had gone missing. After a failed search attempt, Casey and Henry decided the only way to find Casey's missing team members was to enter the Gym Challenge, hoping to use their fame to spread the word about the missing Pokémon.

==={{chap|Sword & Shield}}===
[[File:Casey Gym Challenge uniform Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Casey in her [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] uniform]]
Casey debuted in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]''. She was first seen meeting a young boy named [[Marvin]]. She took the boy to meet Henry, who had saved his life earlier that day. After a brief introduction, Casey offered to let Marvin participate in a [[Dynamax]] simulation with her and Henry. Together, they fought and defeated a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}} hologram, giving Marvin the confidence to set out on a Pokémon journey. Having received approval from his parents, Marvin joined the others on their quest to study Dynamax. Later, everyone found [[Leon]] on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a large flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. Casey and Henry stepped in to help, driving off an {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing themselves, Leon left to appear on a television program in [[Motostoke]]. To Marvin's surprise, Casey and Henry revealed they helped Leon hoping that their efforts would leave enough of an impression that he'd give them an endorsement for the Gym Challenge.

In ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]'', the trailer house was attacked by a trio of wild {{p|Drednaw}}. In order to battle the Bite Pokémon, Casey and Henry each received a [[Rotom Phone]] with a [[Pokédex]] function installed, officially making them both [[Pokédex holder]]s. With some assistance from [[Sniffler|Sobble]], the Drednaw were defeated. Afterward, Professor Magnolia suggested Marvin keep Sobble, which he happily accepted.

In ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', Casey and the others arrived in the [[Wild Area]]. While they traveled, Casey was delivered a package that contained Gym Challenge uniforms for her and Henry. When a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s tried to destroy the uniforms, Casey and Henry pushed them into a [[Pokémon Den]], forcing the four to team up in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against the wild {{p|Gurdurr}} that lurked inside. Eventually, the Gurdurr was defeated and caught by Henry, but the Grunts' Pokémon were knocked out during the battle, forcing them to flee.

In ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]'', Casey and Henry registered for the Gym Challenge in Motostoke. The group encountered [[Sonia]], a researcher and Magnolia's granddaughter. When the trailer car broke down, Magnolia asked the others to research the geoglyph in [[Turffield]] in her place. Along the way, on {{rt|3|Galar}}, Casey and the others met [[Hop]], [[Bede]], and [[Marnie]], a trio of Gym Challengers. They were unable to progress due to a large boulder blocking the entrance to [[Galar Mine]]. By combining their Pokémon's attacks, Casey and the others moved the boulder and went ahead. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they watched Henry face [[Milo]] in a Gym battle and won. Once Casey won her match, she, Henry, and Marvin prepared to head off to the next Gym in [[Hulbury]].

In ''[[PASS09|Splish Splash!! Gigantamax Battle]]'', Casey faced [[Nessa]] in a Gym battle. She won due to [[Bit|Scorbunny]] evolving into {{p|Raboot}} as well as Nessa's Pokémon still being tired from their earlier battle with Henry. Realizing that she won't last much longer in the Gym Challenge with only a single Pokémon, Casey cried out, begging for her missing team members to return.

In ''[[PASS10|Blazing!! Bede's Feelings]]'', Casey used an interview to inform the public about her missing team members. Sometime afterward, she was approached by Hop, who had spotted an {{p|Arrokuda}} in a nearby swamp. Hoping it was Kilo, Casey grabbed Hop and ran off to search for it. At the swamp, they successfully located Kilo, only to find it being eaten by a wild {{p|Cramorant}}. By combining their efforts, Kilo was freed from Cramorant's stomach and rejoined its Trainer. Once they went their separate ways, Casey challenged the Motostoke Gym Leader [[Kabu]] and won.

In ''[[PASS13|Glittering!! The Tapestry in the Vault]]'', she and the others met [[Raihan]], the [[Hammerlocke]] Gym Leader, and [[Opal]], the [[Ballonlea]] Gym Leader. Opal briefly traveled with them to [[Stow-on-Side]] before returning home. Casey then watched Henry's Gym battle with [[Allister]]. After Henry's victory, Casey, Allister, Marvin, and Professor Magnolia went to investigate a loud sound coming from the Stow-on-Side mural. There, they found Bede trying to destroy the mural in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s. Bede ignored Allister's pleas to stop, claiming his actions were a mission from [[Rose]] himself. Before he could continue, Bede was captured by several {{tc|League Staff}} members and approached by Rose, who disqualified him from the Gym Challenge as punishment for damaging a historic landmark.

In ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]'', Casey and the others found Allister stowed away in the trailer house. Upon learning Professor Magnolia found her {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Sinistea and Polteageist|Antique Form}} {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Polteageist}} at [[Glimwood Tangle]], Casey set off for the forest. Allister immediately followed hoping to find some for himself. Upon arriving, she and Allister found an injured {{p|Dreepy}} whose caretaker, {{p|Drakloak}}, was fighting Casey's missing {{p|Toxtricity}}, Tera. With Casey's quick thinking, Tera won the battle, allowing her to retrieve her Pokémon.
[[File:Casey battling Opal.png|thumb|250px|Casey battling Opal]]
In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', Casey faced Opal in a Gym battle. Despite learning that Tera was capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, it was defeated by Opal's Gigantamax {{p|Alcremie}}, eliminating Casey from the Gym Challenge. Henry promised to help keep the public informed of Casey's missing team members. They traveled to [[Route 9 Tunnel]], where people had reported seeing Pokémon Dynamaxing despite it not being a Power Spot. They found several Trainers attacking a wild {{p|Dracovish}}, but Marvin saved it by catching Dracovish and escaping with the others. Upon arriving at [[Circhester]], the group encountered the Gym Leader [[Melony]], who requested that Henry repair an ice cane tool belonging to her {{p|Mr. Rime}}. A group of {{p|Eiscue}} stole the cane and Mr. Rime's Poké Ball. The {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the area were fans of Mr. Rime, who used to put on performances for them. Casey reunited with Peta, who helped keep the other Pokémon at bay while Henry finished the repairs.

Afterward, Sonia took everyone to the Bob's Your Uncle restaurant, where a tapestry originally from the Hammerlocke vault was being held. She speculated it was thrown away to keep a piece of Galar's history out of public knowledge. Upon examining the tapestries, Casey regained some memories of the Slumbering Weald incident. She told Henry the culprits who stole her Pokémon and the Rusted Sword and Shield were a couple of celebrities.
[[File:Casey Shield party.png|thumb|left|250px|Casey and her Pokémon before Bit's evolution]]
In ''[[PASS22|Grrr!! Noble Kidnappers]]'', Sonia told Casey and the others to meet her around [[Spikemuth]] so she could deliver information on the thieves behind the Slumbering Weald incident. While they waited, the trailer car was attacked by a {{p|Golisopod}} and {{p|Bronzong}} belonging to [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], whom Casey recognized as the thieves from a year ago. The brothers agreed to return Mega and Giga if Casey handed over a camera to them, only for [[Piers]] to appear and reveal the camera was in his possession. Piers gave the camera up and convinced the brothers to leave, only to have secretly removed the memory card containing the incriminating data. When the brothers returned for the memory card, Casey and the others uncovered their faces. Sordward and Shielbert attacked Casey and Henry, but were easily defeated by Piers and forced to flee. Casey and the others reunited with Marnie and Hop, the former revealing she and Piers are siblings.

In [[PASS25]], after being informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose, Sordward, and Shielbert were working together, Casey's group and the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. While the Gym Leaders were impeded by [[Oleana]], Casey, Henry, Bede, Hop, and Marnie went to meet with Rose, only to find he was actually in Hammerlocke. On a video screen, Rose appeared and revealed his plan to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start Dynamaxing at random. While heading to Hammerlocke, Casey's group watched a news program where Sordward and Shielbert announced their intention to use the Rusted Sword and Shield to take out {{p|Eternatus}}, the Pokémon causing the Darkest Day. Upon arriving at the [[Energy Plant]], everyone ran into Leon's group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In [[PASS27]], Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent Sordward and Shielbert to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite claiming to be descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, the brothers were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana clarified Rose was working for Galar's benefit and asked everyone help him stop Eternatus. Casey, Henry, and Sonia stayed behind to interrogate Sordward and Shielbert while everyone headed to the summit. Casey was reunited with Giga and Mega, who escaped after Sordward and Shielbert were defeated and retrieved the Rusted Sword and Shield. While Henry tried repairing the rusted items, the others successfully took Eternatus down, only for it to unleash its Eternamax form. Eternatus easily overwhelmed the others, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Zacian and Zamazenta. Believing the rusted items would return to their original forms if wielded by their proper owners, Casey and Sonia told Henry to give them up. Henry refused, revealing he only took part in the Gym Challenge just to obtain the Rusted Sword and Shield. As Zacian and Zamazenta lifted the rusted items into the air, Henry desperately kept holding onto them, only to be grabbed by Eternatus.

In [[PASS30]], Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a double {{m|Giga Impact}}, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and Marvin reviewed footage of the incident and discovered something {{m|teleport}}ing Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. They also realized Henry's strange behavior earlier was because he touched some of Eternatus's poison. By tracking samples of the poison and the material of the rusted artifacts, they found matching signals on both the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Casey, Marvin, Bede, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.

In [[PASS31]], Casey and Marvin arrived at the Isle of Armor, where they met [[Klara]], a student at the [[Master Dojo]]. Mistaking the pair for new students, Klara decided to test Casey's strength in battling, only to be easily defeated. Later, at the dojo, Casey and Marvin reunited with Henry, who apologized for his actions during the battle with Eternatus. The three received instructions from Oleana to gather materials for a medicine that would cure their friends suffering from the effects of Eternatus's poison.

In [[PASS33]], Klara and [[Avery]] led Casey's group to the [[Forest of Focus]]. They successfully collected the necessary tree sap, only to later anger a {{p|Greedent}} and its {{p|Skwovet}} underlings. Bit, [[Twiggy]], and Sniffler teamed up to fend off the gang, evolving into their final forms in the process.

In [[PASS36]], Casey determined the Rusted Shield was located at [[Loop Lagoon]]. They located the Rusted Shield in a nearby tree, but it was guarded by a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that flew in from the Crown Tundra with Hop in its talons. With Hop's assistance, Moltres was stunned long enough for Henry to take the shield. The Malevolent Pokémon quickly got back up, grabbed Henry, and carried him to the Crown Tundra. Later, Casey received a call from Henry informing her that he was safe and had reunited with Bede. While Henry spent time searching for the Rusted Sword on the Crown Tundra, Hop joined Casey as a student in the Master Dojo.

In [[PASS40]], Henry revealed that he managed to obtain the Rusted Sword. With assistance from Leon and Raihan, Casey, Hop, Marvin traveled back to the Galar mainland and reunited with Henry and Bede. They witnessed Zacian and Zamazenta use the rusted tools to become their {{form|Zacian and Zamazenta|Crowned Sword and Shield}} forms. They headed to Hammerlocke to face Eternatus once more, but the entrance was blocked by three Gigantamaxed Pokémon. They were used by a trio of nobles demanding that Sordward and Shielbert be released from jail with their status as nobles reinstated. By Gigantamaxing their own Pokémon, Casey, Henry, and Hop defeated the nobles, allowing Bede to determine where Eternatus was hiding itself with his Gigantamax {{p|Hatterene}}. With Eternatus exposed, Zacian and Zamazenta combined their strength to quickly finish off the {{pkmn|category|Gigantic Pokémon}}, putting an end to the Darkest Day.

In [[PASS43]], several months later, Casey and Sonia worked to prevent the energy crisis Rose had predicted would affect Galar in the coming decades. She said farewell to Henry, who left Galar to search for tool-wielding Pokémon in other regions.

'''Poltchageist''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャデス''' ''Chadesu'') is a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]], in [[The Teal Mask]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It shares similarities with {{p|Sinistea}}; however, the two are biologically separate species.

==Biology==
[[File:Poltchageist's swirl mark.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The swirl pattern on Poltchageist's body.]]
Poltchageist is a Pokémon made of {{wp|matcha}} tea powder that inhabits a {{wp|tea caddy}}; specifically a {{wp|chaki}}, a kind used in the traditional {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony}}. The tea caddy is primarily black and white, with a white lid, a sealed crack near the top, and a painted pattern resembling a face. Poltchageist heavily resembles {{p|Sinistea}}, although they are not biologically related. On top of its matcha body, just below its lid, is a swirl pattern similar to the one found on Sinistea. On Sinistea, this swirl pattern serves as its weak spot and will cause it to become dizzy if stirred; however, this is not the case for Poltchageist.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/poltchageist/ Poltchageist | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]</ref>

According to a tale, Poltchageist was born from the regrets of an old tea master, who was so obsessed with perfecting the art of the tea ceremony that he drove away everyone around him.<ref name=YoutubeCha>(August 22, 2023). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMWrwe9fJJk The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> Poltchageist is more active at night than during the day, flying around towns and their outskirts. By day, Poltchageist dwells in cool, dark places — usually in old houses, which is its favorite.<ref name=SVsite/>

Poltchageist tends to scatter its matcha powder on people and food. If someone touches or ingests the powder, they will notice their skin apparently glowing for a brief moment, before they fall unconscious as their life force is sapped away by the powder for Poltchageist to use as energy.<ref name=SVsite/> It is capable of draining energy in this way from many people at once.<ref name=YoutubeCha/> Another behaviour exhibited by Poltchageist is its strong tendency to repair broken objects and seal cracks by filling them in with its matcha powder.<ref name=SVsite/><ref name=YoutubeCha/>

==Trivia==
[[File:The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist Poster.png|250px|thumb|right|The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist Poster]]
* Poltchageist was first teased during the [[2023 World Championships]], where attendees were given a tea ceremony set with the date of the reveal trailer's release included. Additional teasers include the official Pokémon website featuring a background decorated with matcha powder, and a [[Kitakami]] poster advertising the in-universe theatrical performance shown in the trailer.
* Despite being based on {{p|Sinistea}}<ref name=SVsite/>, Poltchageist's name resembles that of Sinistea's evolution, {{p|Polteageist}}.

===Origin===
Poltchageist appears to be based on {{wp|matcha}}, which is green tea that has been specially grown, processed, and finely ground into powder. Its design incorporates various utensils used in a session of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony}}, such as the 茶入 {{wp|chaki#Chaire|''chaire''}} (tea caddy) used to store the tea, and the 茶杓 ''chashaku'' (tea scoop) used to transfer the tea powder into the teacup. It may also be based on a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, being an inanimate household object come to life. The three dots above Poltchageist's left eye resembles the {{wp|List of Japanese map symbols|Japanese map symbol}} for tea plantations.

Poltchageist's overall design resembles {{p|Sinistea}}, having similar eyes and spiral-like markings within its tea.<ref name=SVsite/> This may be a reference to {{wp|convergent evolution}} or {{wp|parallel evolution}}, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

Additionally, due to the way it repairs broken objects, Poltchageist may be based on the process of 金継ぎ ''{{wp|kintsugi}}'', in which cracked and broken pottery is mended using lacquer mixed with a metallic powder, usually gold.

Poltchageist may also be based on the {{wp|Sandman}}, a mythical being which uses sand to make humans fall asleep, although in this case, it uses matcha powder instead.

====Name origin====
Poltchageist may be a combination of ''{{wp|poltergeist}}'' or ''{{p|Polteageist}}'' and 抹茶 ''matcha''.

Chadesu may be a pun on 茶です ''cha desu'' ("It's tea").

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2022-01-24T18:11:01Z

Ryulong: /* Generation VI */

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in the anime, with the male and female respectively]]
Some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran (which are considered distinct species), gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, at the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], including gender differences. In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start.

Later [[generation]]s would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. Two Pokémon, {{p|Meowstic}} and {{p|Indeedee}}, even have different {{Abilities}} and learn different [[move]]s through [[level]]ing, [[TM]]s and [[breeding]] depending on their gender. Male and female Indeedee even have different [[stats]]. However, most Pokémon look identical despite their gender.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based evolution]].
* Conversely, [[Generation VIII]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduce Pokémon with gender differences, with only one.
* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a Pokémon that can only evolve if it is a specific gender (only female {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Salazzle}}) and a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was exclusive to the player's {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, or [[regional form]]s have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having very prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male version.
* Despite not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] will display separate models for male and female {{p|Spinda}}.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences may evolve into Pokémon that don't have gender differences. Examples include {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}.
* The Torchic evolutionary line is the only [[starter Pokémon]] to have all of its members have gender differences.

List of Pokémon with gender differences

Ryulong: /* Generation IV */

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in the anime, with the male and female respectively]]
Some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran (which are considered distinct species), gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, at the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], including gender differences. In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start.

Later [[generation]]s would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. Two Pokémon, {{p|Meowstic}} and {{p|Indeedee}}, even have different {{Abilities}} and learn different [[move]]s through [[level]]ing, [[TM]]s and [[breeding]] depending on their gender. Male and female Indeedee even have different [[stats]]. However, most Pokémon look identical despite their gender.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based evolution]].
* Conversely, [[Generation VIII]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduce Pokémon with gender differences, with only one.
* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a Pokémon that can only evolve if it is a specific gender (only female {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Salazzle}}) and a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was exclusive to the player's {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, or [[regional form]]s have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having very prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male version.
* Despite not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] will display separate models for male and female {{p|Spinda}}.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences may evolve into Pokémon that don't have gender differences. Examples include {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}.
* The Torchic evolutionary line is the only [[starter Pokémon]] to have all of its members have gender differences.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of {{p|Magikarp}} (and {{p|Rotom}} in its Wash form), can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line (which are also immune if they have the ability Volt Absorb), the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 124 Water-type Pokémon or 16.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the most common of the eighteen types.

=== Comments, Ideas, etc. ===

==Trivia==
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type Pokémon of any generation, with 32, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Water-type Pokémon, with eight.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type moves of any generation, with nine, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Water-type moves, with {{m|Water Shuriken|one}}.
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with S.

* Water-type moves are tied with the {{t|Dragon}} type for having the most [[held item]]s that boost their power: {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}}, {{DL|Incense|Wave Incense}}, {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}}, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}}, {{DL|Gem|Water Gem}}, and the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}.
* The Water type has the most [[Gym Leader]]s of its type, with a total of six.
* The Water type is the only main series starter type that does not have a variation of {{m|Double-Edge}}: Fire has {{m|Flare Blitz}}, Grass has {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{t|Electric}} has {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
** Conversely, it is the only one of the four types with a variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} ({{m|Aqua Jet}}).

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of {{p|Magikarp}} (and {{p|Rotom}} in its Wash form), can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line (which are also immune if they have the ability Volt Absorb), the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 124 Water-type Pokémon or 16.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the most common of the eighteen types.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of {{p|Magikarp}} (and {{p|Rotom}} in its Wash form), can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line (which are also immune if they have the ability Volt Absorb), the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 124 Water-type Pokémon or 16.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the most common of the eighteen types.

'''Klara''' (Japanese: '''クララ''' ''Kurara'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}. She is a {{type|Poison}} [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the games==
Klara originally started as an underground pop singer with traits of cuteness and the virulence of poison. Despite her attempts at promoting herself, she only sold about eight copies of her debut album. After that, she decided to try out being a [[Gym Leader]] as her new goal to boost her popularity. At some point, she obtained a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. However, she gave up on that goal after two days of harsh training at the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. She eventually learned about the [[Master Dojo]] thanks to a late-night TV show. After she saw how kind [[Mustard]] looked in the commercial, Klara decided to head to the [[Isle of Armor]] to train, believing she can become stronger without trying too hard. She quickly called the Dojo to apply.

She is first encountered by the player at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before she can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared, blocking the way, requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, she went on the train to the Isle of Armor. She eventually reached her location and became a student at the Master Dojo. However, she focused more on being doted on by others and barely worked on her training. This resulted in Klara becoming lazy due to a lack of a rival and motivation.

The player meets Klara again once they arrive at the Isle of Armor. She challenges the player to a battle off the bat, assuming they are to be the Master Dojo's new student that she has been assigned to escort. After being defeated, she attempts to scare the player away from enrolling in the Dojo, and even lies to {{gal|Honey}} about the student in question not wanting to show up, only for the player to eventually appear at the Dojo, much to Klara's shock. She threatens the player to not tell of what transpired. During Mustard's trials, her Dojo Uniform gets stolen by Mustard's three fast Slowpoke, which the player retrieves in short order. She battles the player over the next two trials, the former over a set of Max Mushrooms she claims discovered first, and the latter as part of a formal challenge. Klara cheats during the third trial by immediately summoning Toxic Spikes on the player's side of the field. She is eventually defeated and feels guilty about playing dirty. Mustard asks Klara to look after the Dojo Pokémon afterwards.

In the post-game, after Mustard has been defeated in a final showdown, Klara can be rematched daily.

In the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], Klara reveals that she has become a minor division Poison Gym Leader. After becoming a Gym Leader, Klara adds a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}} to her team, having it replace her {{p|Drapion}} as the lead of her team.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Klara's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].

;Normal League Card
:"Klara was originally an underground pop singer. She promoted herself as a star that had both cuteness and the virulence of poison. She energetically held live concerts and other events, even selling some Klara-themed collectables that she made herself, but in spite of everything, she only managed to sell eight copies of her debut album "Krazy for Klara." She decided becoming a Gym Leader would help her gain more popularity and has been working towards that goal since. She chose the Poison type because it matched her image and there was less competition."

;Rare League Card
:"The training at the Poison-type Gym was a lot harsher than Klara was ready for, and she gave up after two days. It was during this time she saw an ad for the Master Dojo during a late-night TV show. The master seemed kind, and Klara thought it would help her become strong without having to try too hard, so she immediately called in to apply. Normally, Klara's sole focus is to be doted on by others, so she puts only the bare minimum into her training, but recently a new student at the dojo has caused a change of attitude. She now works secretly with her Slowbro to better herself."

'''Klara''' (Japanese: '''クララ''' ''Kurara'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}. She is a {{type|Poison}} [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the games==
Klara originally started as an underground pop singer with traits of cuteness and the virulence of poison. Despite her attempts at promoting herself, she only sold about eight copies of her debut album. After that, she decided to try out being a [[Gym Leader]] as her new goal to boost her popularity. At some point, she obtained a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. However, she gave up on that goal after two days of harsh training at the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. She eventually learned about the [[Master Dojo]] thanks to a late-night TV show. After she saw how kind [[Mustard]] looked in the commercial, Klara decided to head to the [[Isle of Armor]] to train, believing she can become stronger without trying too hard. She quickly called the Dojo to apply.

She is first encountered by the player at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before she can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared, blocking the way, requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, she went on the train to the Isle of Armor. She eventually reached her location and became a student at the Master Dojo. However, she focused more on being doted on by others and barely worked on her training. This resulted in Klara becoming lazy due to a lack of a rival and motivation.

The player meets Klara again once they arrive at the Isle of Armor. She challenges the player to a battle off the bat, assuming they are to be the Master Dojo's new student that she has been assigned to escort. After being defeated, she attempts to scare the player away from enrolling in the Dojo, and even lies to {{gal|Honey}} about the student in question not wanting to show up, only for the player to eventually appear at the Dojo, much to Klara's shock. She threatens the player to not tell of what transpired. During Mustard's trials, her Dojo Uniform gets stolen by Mustard's three fast Slowpoke, which the player retrieves in short order. She battles the player over the next two trials, the former over a set of Max Mushrooms she claims discovered first, and the latter as part of a formal challenge. Klara cheats during the third trial by immediately summoning Toxic Spikes on the player's side of the field. She is eventually defeated and feels guilty about playing dirty. Mustard asks Klara to look after the Dojo Pokémon afterwards.

In the post-game, after Mustard has been defeated in a final showdown, Klara can be rematched daily.

In the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], Klara reveals that she has become a minor division Poison Gym Leader. After becoming a Gym Leader, Klara adds a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowbro}} to her team, having it replace her {{p|Drapion}} as the lead of her team.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Klara's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].

;Normal League Card
:"Klara was originally an underground pop singer. She promoted herself as a star that had both cuteness and the virulence of poison. She energetically held live concerts and other events, even selling some Klara-themed collectables that she made herself, but in spite of everything, she only managed to sell eight copies of her debut album "Krazy for Klara." She decided becoming a Gym Leader would help her gain more popularity and has been working towards that goal since. She chose the Poison type because it matched her image and there was less competition."

;Rare League Card
:"The training at the Poison-type Gym was a lot harsher than Klara was ready for, and she gave up after two days. It was during this time she saw an ad for the Master Dojo during a late-night TV show. The master seemed kind, and Klara thought it would help her become strong without having to try too hard, so she immediately called in to apply. Normally, Klara's sole focus is to be doted on by others, so she puts only the bare minimum into her training, but recently a new student at the dojo has caused a change of attitude. She now works secretly with her Slowbro to better herself."

{{main|Klara (Chilling Reign 145)}}
'''Klara''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Peerless Fighters}} subset before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Chilling Reign}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. It allows the player to put up to two Pokémon or basic Energy cards from the discard pile into their hand or both.

* The back part of Klara's headband is the same shape as the wings of a {{p|Dustox}}.
* Klara's uniform number is "881", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for やばい ''yabai'', meaning "dangerous".
* Klara and [[Avery]] are the only version-exclusive rivals.

A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary relatives usually in the same evolutionary line, as well as usually by {{p|Smeargle}} using {{m|Sketch}}. Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up. Additionally, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

===Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon===
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eleven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with {{p|Riolu}} from Almia and {{p|Raikou}} from an event, in addition to the {{p|Squirtle}} family through breeding. Twelve Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. In Generations V, VI, and VII, Lucario and the Mienshao family are the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere by leveling up.
** Lucario no longer learns Force Palm in Generation VI (although {{p|Riolu}} can still learn it).
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with '''{{m|Solar Beam}}''', '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy states that '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''' is its signature move.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{p|Steelix}} have been commonly seen to be using the move {{m|Iron Tail}}.
* Although several Pokémon have been able to learn {{m|Sing}} since its introduction, the move is heavily associated with {{p|Jigglypuff}} due to the {{an|Jigglypuff}} in the anime.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}''', and prior to [[Generation VII]] were the only Poison-type Pokémon to learn the move by level-up.
* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Binacle}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Corphish}}, {{p|Crawdaunt}}, and {{p|Golisopod}}.
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''.
* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow move]]s only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
* In Generation V, '''{{m|Sacred Sword}}''' was exclusively learned by the [[Swords of Justice]], being a signature move of a Legendary group rather than an evolutionary family.
** Similarly, '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' are exclusively learned by {{p|Reshiram}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}}, respectively. Kyurem's forms are the result of absorbing Reshiram or Zekrom, and thus gain some of their traits and powers.
* No Pokémon can learn '''{{m|V-create}}''' outside of event distributions. {{p|Victini}} was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a {{p|Rayquaza}} with V-create was available as the winner of a [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#15th Anniversary Rayquaza|popularity poll held in Japan in 2011]], making it no longer Victini's signature move.

==In the anime==
[[File:Black Arachnid Meowth Pay Day.png|thumb|200px|Meowth using Pay Day in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is uncommon for specific moves to be explicitly stated to be exclusive to a certain Pokémon species. The concept was mentioned during a quiz challenge in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', in which [[Candice]] stated that {{m|Pay Day}} could only be learned by {{p|Meowth}}.

Island challenge

2017-01-18T08:43:34Z

Ryulong:

[[File:SM Prerelease trial start.png|thumb|Starting [[Lana]]'s trial]]
[[File:Key island challenge amulet Sprite.png|thumb|The island challenge amulet]]
The '''island challenge''' (Japanese: '''島めぐり''' ''island-visiting'') is a rite of passage for burgeoning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Trainers can partake in these rites when they turn 11, which involve traveling through each of the four major islands of Alola and completing various '''Trials''' (Japanese: '''試練''') on each. The goal of those taking the island challenge is to become the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge champion.

Participants in the island challenge are given an island challenge amulet to identify them. The island challenge consists of a number of trials on each of the Alola region's four islands, with each usually headed by a [[Trial Captain]]. Trials are not limited to [[Pokémon battle]]s; they may involve finding designated [[item]]s or a test of knowledge, among other tasks. Trials are all difficult tasks that require Trainers to prove themselves. To complete the trial, the Trainer must defeat a [[Totem Pokémon]] in an [[SOS Battle]].

During a trial, the player cannot flee from battles, and wild Pokémon cannot be caught. If the player leaves the trial site before completing the trial, they have to start the trial again. Upon completing a trial, the player earns a [[Z-Crystal]].

The final trial on each island is called the '''Grand Trial''' (Japanese: '''大試練'''). In the grand trial, the Trainer must battle the [[Island Kahuna]]. If they complete an island's grand trial, they are recognized as having cleared all of that island's trials and can move on to the next island. Similar to [[Badge]]s, completing trials can expand the amount of items purchasable in [[Poké Mart]]s, and completing grand trials will make [[Outsider Pokémon|traded Pokémon]] [[obedience|obey]] the player.

==Trials==
===[[Melemele Island]]===
====Ilima's trial====
In this trial, the player must find and battle two Yungoos{{sup/7|S}}/Alolan {{p|Rattata}}{{sup/7|M}} and a {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/Alolan {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}}. Along the way, the player will face two {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s and battle one of them. Once defeated, the two grunts will help the player finish the trial.
* [[Trial Captain]]: [[Ilima]]

* [[Trial Captain]]: [[Sophocles]]
* Trial site: [[Hokulani Observatory]]
* [[Totem Pokémon]]: {{p|Vikavolt}}
* Reward: {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium Z}}

====Acerola's trial====
In this trial, the player has to take a photo of the Totem Pokémon in the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart. After drawing the attention of the Totem Pokémon by photographing other Ghost-type Pokémon in the area, the player follows the Totem Pokémon to the back room and battles it after taking a photo of it.
* [[Trial Captain]]: [[Acerola]]
* Trial site: [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)]]

* Trial site: [[Malie City]]
* Reward: {{DL|Z-Crystal|Darkinium Z}}, [[Trainer Passport|Ula'ula Trial Completion stamp]]

===[[Poni Island]]===
The player's experience with Poni Island's portion of the island challenge is a bit different than that of the other islands. While Poni Island does have a Trial Captain named [[Mina]], who the player briefly meets, she does not have any trial for the player. Instead, Hapu's grand trial is the player's first challenge on Poni Island. After that, the player is confronted by a natural trial at the Vast Poni Canyon on their way to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}.

====Grand trial====
In this grand trial, the player has to defeat [[Island Kahuna]] [[Hapu]].
* Trial site: [[Vast Poni Canyon]]
* Reward: {{DL|Z-Crystal|Groundium Z}}, [[Trainer Passport|Poni Trial Completion stamp]]

====Vast Poni Canyon trial====
At the end of the Vast Poni Canyon, before the player can reach the Altar of the Sunne/Moone, the player must defeat a Totem Pokémon who guards the entry point. A {{p|Jangmo-o}} and a {{p|Hakamo-o}} will also assail the player before they reach the Totem Pokémon.
* Trial site: [[Vast Poni Canyon]]
* [[Totem Pokémon]]: {{p|Kommo-o}}
* Reward: {{DL|Z-Crystal|Dragonium Z}}

===Final trial===

In the past, after clearing all trials and grand trials, usually challengers would head to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] and have a final trial, where they have to defeat all four kahunas in a row in order to be acknowledged as an island challenge champion. However, this final trial ceremony has now been replaced with the newly founded {{al|Pokémon League}}. Becoming the Champion earns the player the [[Trainer Passport|Island Challenge Completion stamp]], getting all [[outsider Pokémon]] regardless of level to obey the player.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]]===
====Kukui's trial====
In this trial, the player must find and photograph four elusive Pokémon. Upon capturing each Pokémon in a photo, they will attack the player. The first two Pokémon the player can find are {{p|Jangmo-o}}, who are followed by a {{p|Hakamo-o}}, with Totem Hakamo-o being the final subject.
* [[Trial Captain]]: {{prof|Kukui}}
* Trial site: [[Ten Carat Hill]]
* [[Totem Pokémon]]: {{p|Hakamo-o}}
* Reward: [[Z-Ring]] and {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium Z}}

==Trivia==
* According to the chief of the [[Seafolk Village|sea folk]], long ago, [[Exeggutor Island]] used to be a trial site.

'''Toxapex''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドヒドイデ''' ''Dohidoide'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mareanie}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
Toxapex is a primarily blue coloured Pokemon resembling a starfish. Its main body is very small, compared to its tentacles, which are used for its motion,
Toxapex's main body is mostly suspended in mid-air due to the length of its tentacles. The body is primarily purple coloured, and becomes blue where it connects to the tentacles. Toxapex has blue eyes with orange scalers and black iris. It has yellow coloured teeth. It's main body ends mid-air with purple triangular protrusions in all directions.
Toxapex has 12 tentacles as compared to its pre-evolution's 10. These have also grown in size. They are primarily blue, with two large spikes in the middle, an orange spike at the top, and two orange spikes near the endings, each. The inner potion of these tentacles is purple with two pink spikes each. The main body of Toxapex becomes invisible when all these tentackles are closed, more resembling a hemisphere in this state.

==Trivia==
* Toxapex has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Toxapex may be based on a {{wp|crown-of-thorns starfish}}, a carnivorous predator that preys on reef coral polyps (similar to how Toxapex preys on Corsola).

====Name origin====
Toxapex may be a combination of ''toxic'' and ''apex''.

Dohidoiede may be a combination of ど酷い ''dohidoi'' (very cruel) and 海星 ''hitode'' (sea star).

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2015-08-27T03:26:45Z

Ryulong: /* Generation VI Pokémon */ why would a fire pokemon have the kanji for "big"

[[File:Blanche Meowstic.png|thumb|right|230px|Two {{p|Meowstic}} present different appearances depending on their gender, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Some species of Pokémon have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the player's Pokédex to be able to display the images for both genders of a species (as well as other [[form differences]]). In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start.

List of Pokémon with form differences

[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|frame|Cherrim changing between forms in the anime]]
Pokémon with official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals are known as '''alternate forms'''. These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Generations II-IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; i.e., a player who encountered a West Sea Shellos would have its sprite appear in the Pokédex by default, while one who encountered an East Sea Shellos first would have its sprite appear. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic, and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon not only differ in stats, but also type, depending on their form. Among these are several [[legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are usually spelled as '''Formes'''.

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an alternate form of {{p|Pichu}} will appear at [[Ilex Forest]] (but only if the player has a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} in their party). This Pichu has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear, and is known as the Spiky-eared Pichu. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot evolve or be traded and cannot be transferred to the [[Generation V]] games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} was the first known Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From the species' debut in [[Generation II]], each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation point}}.

A special [[Unown Dex]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, was available in [[Generation II]] after the player had caught several Unown. This was superseded in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by the [[Unown Report]], obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

Unown's form is determined in [[Generation III]] based on its [[personality value]]. Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], ! and ? Unown have different [[performance]] stats than their alphabetical brethren.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}}'s first appearance at [[Hoenn]]'s [[Weather Institute]] in [[Generation III]] brought about the concept of interchangeable forms. Unlike other Pokémon, an individual Castform's form is not static, and will change, due to its [[Ability]], with the [[weather]].

Normally, Castform takes on a rather plain appearance, with a gray body. In this form, it is of the {{type|Normal}}; as could be expected, it is in this form that it is at its least effective.

When Castform is exposed to {{weather|sun|bright rays of sunlight}}, it changes its form to a more sunny appearance, and becomes a {{type|Fire}} (Sunny Form). In {{weather|rain}}, Castform becomes more like a raindrop, and becomes a {{type|Water}} (Rainy Form). Finally, in {{weather|hail}}, Castform takes the form of a snowy cloud, and becomes an {{type|Ice}} (Snowy Form).
It will not transform in any other [[weather conditions]].

If Castform has its Ability {{a|Forecast}} negated, it will be locked in its current form and type, rather than reverting to its Normal form.

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}}, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation III]], was the first known Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed, as well as its appearance, depending on its form. First introduced in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Deoxys was revealed to have three alternating forms, while a fourth was added later, with the release of {{game|Emerald}}. Like its base stats, its Pokéathlon performance varies depending on its form.

Deoxys's forms are game-specific in [[Generation III]], but can be changed at will in later generations by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], and {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Unova]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

It is in this form that Deoxys will be found in the wild on [[Birth Island]], though it will transform after it has been captured, depending on its [[Generation III]] game version.

The Attack Forme is the appearance that Deoxys takes on in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, and it learns noticeably more powerful moves while in this form. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats have been maxed out, making it the most powerful of all Pokémon in both aspects, while its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its default form. Its defensive stats, however, take a harsh blow, lowering so much that it is only more powerful in {{stat|Defense}} than seven Pokémon (tied with three others), and is tied for last place in {{stat|Special Defense}} with five others, including {{p|Magikarp}}.

In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, the counterpart version to FireRed, Deoxys takes on a counterpart form to the Attack Forme, the Defense Forme. Whereas the Attack Forme had incredible offensive power (and incredibly weak defensive capabilities), Defense Forme inverts this somewhat, having mediocre offensive power (and a lower Speed stat) and heightened {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This form of Deoxys learns moves more attuned to attrition than to elimination, raising its already high defenses to protect against opponents' moves rather than attack them before they can attack.

By far the quickest of all Pokémon, Deoxys in its Speed Forme learns many moves that can guarantee that it will strike before any other Pokémon can. Though it can still be outsped by a Pokémon with {{a|Speed Boost}}, Speed Forme Deoxys takes the uneven nature of the stats of Deoxys's other forms and balances them out, keeping it from hitting too hard, but at the same time, preventing it from being hit too hard itself.

The {{stat|HP}} stat remains the same with each of the four formes.

===Burmy, Wormadam, and Mothim===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms, being the first Pokémon whose evolution depends on a specific form. Like others, Burmy can change form freely, depending on where it last participated in a battle actively ({{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} maintains a Burmy's form if it does not leave the [[Poké Ball]]); however, Wormadam's form is permanent.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy outside area, hatched from an Egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Plant Cloak, or hatched from an Egg that had {{p|Mothim}} and {{p|Ditto}} as parents, it will be in its basic state, the Plant Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in leaves and twigs. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Plant Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

If a Burmy last battled on a beach or in a cave, or hatched from an Egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Sandy Cloak, it will be in the Sandy Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in sand and rocks. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Sandy Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

If a Burmy last battled inside of a building, or hatched from an Egg whose Wormadam parent was in the Trash Cloak, it will be in the Trash Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}. If a female, it will evolve into Wormadam in its Trash Cloak, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

A Wormadam's stats and move compatibility vary with her form, in addition to type and appearance. The cloak a male Burmy takes on before evolution makes no difference, as it sheds it upon evolution into {{p|Mothim}}.

===Cherrim===
Like Castform, {{p|Cherrim}} changes its appearance depending on the weather, though not with all kinds. It will be in its Sunshine Form in {{weather|intense sunlight}} and its Overcast Form in any other weather. Due to its {{a|Flower Gift|Ability}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form. Unlike Castform, its type does not change.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
Another [[Sinnoh]]-native [[evolution]] family, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} also have a difference, depending on, this time, whether the Pokémon in question was caught east or west of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Like others before, neither form can change to the other, but unlike other multiple-form Pokémon, the appearance of the mother is the determinant to the appearance of the hatched Pokémon.

Both West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon take on a pink appearance, while their East Sea cousins take on a blue hue. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}}, from {{game|Platinum}} onward, has five forms additional to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}; Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}; Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}; Fan Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}; and Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Galactic Eterna Building]] via the use of the {{key|IV|Secret Key}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]] which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]]. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, they can be found in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. Using these locations, Rotom can also change back to normal form.

If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. When Rotom changes between forms, it forgets the move tied to its prior form if it was an appliance form. In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}. If Rotom changes back to its normal form while the only move it knows is the move tied to its appliance form, Rotom learns {{m|ThunderShock}}.

Until [[Generation V]], all forms of Rotom were {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type. All alternate forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom (except normal Rotom has a higher base stat in speed).

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

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}}, much like {{p|Deoxys}} had been earlier, was announced to have an alternate form in the then-upcoming ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' in February, 2008. One of the two forms is the familiar form to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, designated as Altered Forme Giratina, while the other is a more serpentine form that was not previously known, the Origin Forme, which debuted in {{game|Platinum}}, and has been included in every main series game since.

The Origin Forme is known as Giratina's natural form, which it appears in in its home of the [[Reverse World]] (in the anime) and [[Distortion World]] (in the games). If it travels to the [[Pokémon world]], it assumes its Altered Forme. Both Formes appear in {{game|Platinum}}, where Giratina is captured in the Distortion World in its more offense-oriented Origin Forme, and will revert to the defensive Altered Forme outside of this area unless it holds the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

|}

===Shaymin===
As with Giratina, an alternate form of the event Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} was announced to appear in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and is, in fact, the titular sky warrior. This new Sky Forme of Shaymin, with the previously-known form now called the Land Forme, has a completely altered appearance and, rather than being a pure-{{type|Grass}}, is now {{2t|Grass|Flying}}. The Sky Forme made its debut in {{game|Platinum}}, and has been included in every main series game since.

Like Giratina and Deoxys's transformations are activated by an external source, Shaymin's is activated by contact with a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}, whose bouquets look almost like a sleeping Shaymin. Upon changing forms, Shaymin also changes its [[cry]].

A Shaymin in its Sky Forme will revert to its Land Forme if {{status|frozen}} or during {{DL|Time|night}}.

===Basculin===
Similar to {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, {{p|Basculin}} can appear in two different forms—the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red Stripe form sports a red stripe, with wide eyes and spiky fins, while the other has a blue stripe, with squinted eyes and smooth fins. Its color depends on the version it is found in, with the Red-Striped Form appearing in {{game|Black and White|s|Black}} and the Blue-Striped Form appearing in {{game|Black and White|s|White}}. However, rare instances of the other color can be found in the game by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].

Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half. Darmanitan in Zen Mode is blue in color, has Psychic as a secondary type, inverts its Attack and Special Attack from Standard Mode Darmanitan, and has boosted defenses and lowered Speed.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{p|Deerling}} changes its appearance depending on the [[Seasons|season]], each of which lasts a month in real time. During spring, its coat will be pink; during summer, green; during autumn, orange; and during winter, brown.

{{p|Sawsbuck}}, Deerling's evolved form, also differs with the season. It has flowers in its antlers during spring; a full set of leaves in its antlers, a lack of fur at its neck and legs, and the addition of a mane and upright tail during summer; brown and wilting leaves during autumn; and white antlers along with sections of thicker, white fur during winter.

In both instances, the Pokémon will change forms when the season changes (when the players exits a cave or building) while it is in the party.

Deerling and Sawsbuck belonging to NPCs will match the season the NPC is battled in, with the exception of the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], where they are always in Spring Form.

===Kami trio===
The [[kami trio]], {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, have alternate forms known as their Therian Formes, which are obtainable in the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and transferable to {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}. Their original forms are known as their Incarnate Formes. If the Therian Formes are captured through the Pokémon Dream Radar and changed to their Incarnate Formes using the {{key|V|Reveal Glass}}, they will have their Hidden Abilities: {{a|Defiant}} instead of {{a|Prankster}} for Tornadus and Thundurus, and {{a|Sheer Force}} instead of {{a|Sand Force}} for Landorus. In their Therian Formes, they will always have the same Abilities regardless of how they were obtained; Tornadus will have the [[Ability]] {{a|Regenerator}}, Thundurus will have the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}}, and Landorus will have the Ability {{a|Intimidate}}. The kami trio change their [[Cry|cries]] upon changing forms. The Therian Formes of the kami trio are not included in the original {{game|Black and White|s}}. While in their Therian Formes, they cannot be traded.

The kami trio change forms by using the Reveal Glass, which is only obtainable by capturing the Landorus in the Pokémon Dream Radar and taking it to the [[Abundant Shrine]] in {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}.

In the anime, the kami trio's Therian Formes were featured in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''.

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. They are the [[version mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, and are not available in the original {{game|Black and White|s}}.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, which fuses it with {{p|Zekrom}} or {{p|Reshiram}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and held item, but assigns Zekrom's {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{a|Teravolt}} to Black Kyurem, or Reshiram's {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{a|Turboblaze}} to White Kyurem. This fusion is reversible, with Zekrom or Reshiram still having the item they were holding before being fused, if any. Kyurem has a different [[cry]] in each of its forms, with Black Kyurem's cry being an alteration of Zekrom's cry and White Kyurem's cry being an alteration of Reshiram's cry. Both cries have Kyurem's cry in them as well.

In the anime, these forms are featured in the [[M15|fifteenth]] [[Pokémon movie]], in which Kyurem is said to change forms when lent the power of Reshiram or Zekrom.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has a new form in {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, the Resolute Form; its original form is called the Ordinary Form. Keldeo changes forms in an event in the [[Pledge Grove]]. To remain in its Resolute Form, it must have {{m|Secret Sword}} as one of its moves. To revert back to its Ordinary Form, Secret Sword must be forgotten.

This form was revealed in the June 2012 [[CoroCoro]] comics. The Resolute Form of Keldeo is not included in the original {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Meloetta===
If {{p|Meloetta}} uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} (which it can learn from a man in [[Castelia City]]) in battle, it changes between its Aria and Pirouette Formes, changing its typing between {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}. Meloetta reverts to Aria Forme when it is no longer in battle.

==Trivia==
* Deerling's forms are the only ones that differ solely by color. However, they are directly related to Sawsbuck's forms, which differ by shape, too.
* [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is the only alternate form that does not have a unique menu sprite.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

* {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Gastly}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entries mention both Pokémon being able to easily knock out an {{wp|Indian Elephant}}, an [[Animals in the Pokémon world|actual animal]].
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', a painting within the resort created by {{p|Beheeyem}} bears a striking resemblance to ''{{wp|Relativity (M. C. Escher)|Relativity}}'' by {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, {{wp|Hokkaido}}. Part of {{wp|Sakhalin}} (Japanese: 樺太 ''Karafuto'') and {{wp|Kunashir Island}} (Japanese: 国後島 ''Kunashiri Island''), territories which are in dispute between {{wp|Russia}} and Japan, are also included.

==Side regions==
{{incomplete|section}}
The US State of {{wp|Arizona}} has been confirmed as the basis for Orre.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0311/soft/interv01.html</ref>

[[Almia]] appears to be based on the {{wp|Matsumae Peninsula}}, {{wp|Kameda Peninsula}}, and {{wp|Oshima Peninsula}} of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.

* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

===Unova===
Unova has been said to be significantly distant from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Instead of being based on an area of Japan, Unova is based around the {{wp|Manhattan}} area of {{wp|New York City}}.

==Side regions==
{{incomplete|section}}
The US State of {{wp|Arizona}} has been confirmed as the basis for Orre.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0311/soft/interv01.html</ref>

[[Almia]] appears to be based on the {{wp|Matsumae Peninsula}}, {{wp|Kameda Peninsula}}, and {{wp|Oshima Peninsula}} of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

The US State of {{wp|Arizona}} has been confirmed as the basis for Orre.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0311/soft/interv01.html</ref>

[[Almia]] appears to be based on the {{wp|Matsumae Peninsula}}, {{wp|Kameda Peninsula}}, and {{wp|Oshima Peninsula}} of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]

The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

The '''Striaton Gym''' (Japanese: '''サンヨウジム''' ''Sanyou Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Striaton City]]. The [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]], who specialize in {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, respectively. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat them receive the {{badge|Trio}}.

==In the games==

[[File:Sanyou Gym Leaders.png|250px|left|thumb|Cilan, Chili and Cress shown in Striaton Gym]]
When first entering [[Striaton City]], the Gym is blocked off by Cilan. He disappears into the gym once he discovers the player's [[starter Pokémon]] type. Upon entering the gym, the [[Caretaker]] will give the player a [[Fresh Water]].

The Striaton Gym is based on a {{wp|butler cafe}}. Aside from the lobby, it consists of three different rooms that are behind three different curtains. In the first two rooms, two sets of a table and two chairs are set symmetrically to the sides of the gym, with three circular panels situated in the middle. The first is a green panel with a leaf symbol, signifying {{t|Grass}}. The second is a red panel with a flame symbol, signifying {{t|Fire}}. The third is a blue panel with a rain droplet symbol, signifying {{t|Water}}. The player must step on the panel that has the type advantage of the symbol displayed on the curtain. The curtain will open if the right panel is stepped on. The third room however, is a much bigger room, containing two big round tables with four chairs around each at both sides of the Gym. It also contains a small set of stairs leading to a platform where the Gym Leaders stand.

The chosen starter Pokémon determines which Gym Leader is battled. If {{p|Oshawott}} is chosen, Cilan will be battled; if {{p|Tepig}} is chosen, Cress will be battled; if the {{p|Snivy}} is chosen, Chili will be battled. The Gym also has a dual purpose as a restaurant.

==In the anime==
[[File:Striaton Gym Cafe.png|250px|right|thumb|The Butler cafe in the anime]]
The Striaton Gym first appeared in [[BW005]]; it is a very posh building with pillars on the outside and a glass topped roof. Through the front doors is a cafe where [[Chili]], {{an|Cilan}} and [[Cress]] are waiters. The walls of the cafe open up to reveal a passageway to the battleground. The battleground features rocky terrain on the battlefield, as well as an area for spectators to cheer on their friends during battle.

==Trivia==
* While all other Gyms, aside from [[Viridian Gym]] in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, specialize in a specific type, the Striaton Gym is the only one so far that specializes in several types.
* The Striaton Gym is the only gym in the games to have a different Gym Leader depending on the starter the player picked.
* The Striaton Gym is the only Gym where there are no Trainers who use the Gym Leader's specialty type.
* The external design of the Striaton Gym in the anime, like the [[Viridian Gym]], is also inspired by Roman architecture: the columns used are similar to that of the {{wp|Doric order}}.

Ryulong: /* Shooty - Part 2 */

== Shooty ==

Why isn't this character referred to as "Shooty" which is the more accurate representation of the katakana name? If it is because of the single website Shooti.jp, then this page should be renamed because that's some unrelated search engine, and the spelling is not even the same in Katakana. The name was even written wrong on this article. He's "シューティー", not "シューティ".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 08:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. I think it should be moved ASAP. Also, does it really matter what letter does his name start. Really, this is the most annoying kind of trivia ever. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

== Shooty - Part 2 ==

So can I just freakin' move this page finally? I think everyone agrees that Shooty is the correct romanization, not the awkward "Shooti". The only reason why people use "Shooti" is Merrick, as usual. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think Shooty would be a better romanisation. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::I don't think we should move it. Just google '''シューティー''' and the first result will show a link to ''www.shooti.jp''. I don't know whether it's a good proof or not but I just wanted to share it with you people to avoid confusion. The rest is up to you guys. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but look at the title of site - クチコミポータル:SHOOTI(シューティ). It's "シューティ", not "シューティー". If the character's name was "シューティ", that would indeed romanize as "Shooti". But it DOES have that final long mark. It makes a difference. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Even if the character was named シューティ, "Shooty" is the better translation. People should stop blindly following Serebii's translation skills. For the longest time they had [[Meloetta]] named "Melodia".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 20:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::We ''don't'' fall for "good translations" but for Romanizations, there's a world of difference, and, if you want my opinion (even if you don't I'll share it xD) I think Shooti is better and we have ONE proof, do you have ANY of it being Shooty? Show us please. I don't see why Shooti is "awkward", no offence intended. I just think those who want it to be with y want it because it looks a little more English-like, but remember... romanizations don't always end up looking like English! [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 07:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::What proof do you mean? That site isn't any proof, tht site's name is シューティ, not シューティー, so it was a different word. The fact that it turned up in Google search doesn't mean anything. There's no proof for either name. But characters BARELY EVER got official Romaji spellings. So, we have to either guess a romanization or use direct one. The direct one is "Shūtī". And "Shooti" sounds like some dumb compromise between direct romanization and anglicized one. It also ignores the long mark, so it can't be a romanization of シューティー. Also, come on, the name COMES from English. He's named "Shooty" because he shoots photos, for the love of God. And "shooty" is an actual word, "shooti" is not. Common sense says that "Shooty" is better. There are no "proofs" here. The only potential proof that could defend "Shooti" would be that spelling turning up in some actual source (like the anime itself). Otherwise, ANY romanization is an assumption. So, let's just take the best assumption. Also, if I don't get a reply quick enough, I'll just move the page. We've been holding this for too long. This Pedia needs demerricization. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::"Shooty" as a word is barely real. "Shoot" is a real word. "Shooty" is simply 'cute' Basketball and gun slang, and any real definition doesn't relate to cameras (just plants). I don't see why we just don't go with "Shuuti". At least that doesn't look like a joke of a name, even if the real intention ''is'' "Shooty".

:::I'm not talking about Shooty now (I don't want to start a flamewar) but about Bulbapedia in general. I hate this general "those are just Japanese names and we'll have to move them anyway, so who cares?" trend. I think this should never be a reason to lower our standards. This is still six months before the games get released and the fandom takes a good part of the BW information from our Wiki. By using incorrect romanizations, we're simply misleading the fandom. Also, who said that he'll get a different dub name? The dub tends to keep English-sounding names these times, even ridiculous ones like Ship, Marble or Moose. And if his name is kept, it's likely to be "Shooty", as this is probably the most correct romanization of all possible. Temporary or not, all the romanizations on Bulbapedia have to be correct. This recent trend among admins is killing me. Will it be THAT much of a nuissance if we move it? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:16, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:::If you are going to make one part of the name English (using "oo" instead of "uu" or "u"), then at least make the whole name English (don't use "i" and use "y" or "ee" or something).[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 18:11, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I was apparently able to move the page, so I've done so (and [[Template:Shooty's Pokémon]] and [[Shooty's Tsutarja]]). Serebii isn't always right when it comes to romanizing, so let's make this site be for once.[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 01:03, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:Don't just move the page without at least informing one admin, or rather move it, then post saying you moved it. Umeko has said that Shooty isn't any more right than Shooti is. It just so happens that we had the same romanization as Serebii. Before somebody starts flaming me or asking who Umeko is, she is well versed and experienced in Japanese than most of the people here, so I am standing by her opinion. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::Well, "Shooti" is wrong. The only reason it's being used is because Serebii chose that name because they don't think there's the long sound mark in the name. The page should be at another title other than "Shooti".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 01:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
: I'm not sure I care too much but aren't some of you forgetting that its his name? I mean it's not like some brand name product in which we have to use the correct spelling, and who says it isn't Shoot? I mean after all their are people who have names ending in I. And if the correct romanization is something like "Shuuti" or whatever and you want to clean it up and make it Shooti, then why is Shooty more correct? It's his name, it really can be spelled or pronounced in any way as far as I'm concerned since names tend to that.

== Regarding names ==

Where did you get Shooty out of? Even if it is from a reliable source, discuss it with admins first, thanks. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:Where does the name "Shooti" come from? It's a standard anglicization of the Japanese name. Merrick's was wrong, and I've corrected it. Also, as this is a Wiki, you don't need the admin's permission to do anything that helps it. [[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 01:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::Ok, I agree with you in the sense that Shooty and Shooti are both valid in that their names are proper. In other words, both are accurate. And, in regards to Serebii, it's not that issue at all. However! Since both are valid, the titles should be allowed discussion with an admin beforehand. I hope you understand.

Ryulong: /* Shooty - Part 2 */

== Shooty ==

Why isn't this character referred to as "Shooty" which is the more accurate representation of the katakana name? If it is because of the single website Shooti.jp, then this page should be renamed because that's some unrelated search engine, and the spelling is not even the same in Katakana. The name was even written wrong on this article. He's "シューティー", not "シューティ".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 08:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. I think it should be moved ASAP. Also, does it really matter what letter does his name start. Really, this is the most annoying kind of trivia ever. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

== Shooty - Part 2 ==

So can I just freakin' move this page finally? I think everyone agrees that Shooty is the correct romanization, not the awkward "Shooti". The only reason why people use "Shooti" is Merrick, as usual. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think Shooty would be a better romanisation. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::I don't think we should move it. Just google '''シューティー''' and the first result will show a link to ''www.shooti.jp''. I don't know whether it's a good proof or not but I just wanted to share it with you people to avoid confusion. The rest is up to you guys. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but look at the title of site - クチコミポータル:SHOOTI(シューティ). It's "シューティ", not "シューティー". If the character's name was "シューティ", that would indeed romanize as "Shooti". But it DOES have that final long mark. It makes a difference. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Even if the character was named シューティ, "Shooty" is the better translation. People should stop blindly following Serebii's translation skills. For the longest time they had [[Meloetta]] named "Melodia".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 20:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::We ''don't'' fall for "good translations" but for Romanizations, there's a world of difference, and, if you want my opinion (even if you don't I'll share it xD) I think Shooti is better and we have ONE proof, do you have ANY of it being Shooty? Show us please. I don't see why Shooti is "awkward", no offence intended. I just think those who want it to be with y want it because it looks a little more English-like, but remember... romanizations don't always end up looking like English! [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 07:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::What proof do you mean? That site isn't any proof, tht site's name is シューティ, not シューティー, so it was a different word. The fact that it turned up in Google search doesn't mean anything. There's no proof for either name. But characters BARELY EVER got official Romaji spellings. So, we have to either guess a romanization or use direct one. The direct one is "Shūtī". And "Shooti" sounds like some dumb compromise between direct romanization and anglicized one. It also ignores the long mark, so it can't be a romanization of シューティー. Also, come on, the name COMES from English. He's named "Shooty" because he shoots photos, for the love of God. And "shooty" is an actual word, "shooti" is not. Common sense says that "Shooty" is better. There are no "proofs" here. The only potential proof that could defend "Shooti" would be that spelling turning up in some actual source (like the anime itself). Otherwise, ANY romanization is an assumption. So, let's just take the best assumption. Also, if I don't get a reply quick enough, I'll just move the page. We've been holding this for too long. This Pedia needs demerricization. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::"Shooty" as a word is barely real. "Shoot" is a real word. "Shooty" is simply 'cute' Basketball and gun slang, and any real definition doesn't relate to cameras (just plants). I don't see why we just don't go with "Shuuti". At least that doesn't look like a joke of a name, even if the real intention ''is'' "Shooty". [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 14:01, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Because "Shuuti" is just as wrong. The names in Isshu, for the most part, are English or almost English. This character is "Shooty", and certainly not "Shooti".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 23:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::'''ALRIGHT!''' It'll be better if we drop this issue and just wait for his dub name. That's it, otherwise more conflicts will come in front and a flame war will start. '''''THE END'''''. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 06:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::There's still the argument about which Japanese name is correct so the issue is not over. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 14:56, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::There is no argument. It's just シューティー --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::I meant Shooty vs. Shooti. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 15:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

:But the romanization of this name is still wrong because everyone listens to whatever Serebii puts out.[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 19:56, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::...Ok :|.[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 20:07, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I'm not talking about Shooty now (I don't want to start a flamewar) but about Bulbapedia in general. I hate this general "those are just Japanese names and we'll have to move them anyway, so who cares?" trend. I think this should never be a reason to lower our standards. This is still six months before the games get released and the fandom takes a good part of the BW information from our Wiki. By using incorrect romanizations, we're simply misleading the fandom. Also, who said that he'll get a different dub name? The dub tends to keep English-sounding names these times, even ridiculous ones like Ship, Marble or Moose. And if his name is kept, it's likely to be "Shooty", as this is probably the most correct romanization of all possible. Temporary or not, all the romanizations on Bulbapedia have to be correct. This recent trend among admins is killing me. Will it be THAT much of a nuissance if we move it? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:16, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:::If you are going to make one part of the name English (using "oo" instead of "uu" or "u"), then at least make the whole name English (don't use "i" and use "y" or "ee" or something).[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 18:11, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I was apparently able to move the page, so I've done so (and [[Template:Shooty's Pokémon]] and [[Shooty's Tsutarja]]). Serebii isn't always right when it comes to romanizing, so let's make this site be for once.[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 01:03, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:Don't just move the page without at least informing one admin, or rather move it, then post saying you moved it. Umeko has said that Shooty isn't any more right than Shooti is. It just so happens that we had the same romanization as Serebii. Before somebody starts flaming me or asking who Umeko is, she is well versed and experienced in Japanese than most of the people here, so I am standing by her opinion. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::Well, "Shooti" is wrong. The only reason it's being used is because Serebii chose that name because they don't think there's the long sound mark in the name. The page should be at another title other than "Shooti".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 01:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== Shooti's pokemon in BW009 ==
Can someone add Fushide to shooti's team list? Just make it where the page does not exist or something. --[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 05:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
:We don't add new Pokémon to people's parties '''''UNTIL THE EPISODE AIRS'''''. This includes captures, evolutions, etc. Since BW009 is almost a month away from airing, we will abide by the policy of the wiki. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 05:51, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I think we should add him and the other Team Galactic members like Mars, Jupiter and Cyrus. [[User:Impoleon xy]]

== Moved Nando ==

I moved Nando up to rivals. If we're includeing Solidad (Who only appeared during the Kanto grand festival) Nando deserves to be up there.

:Your edit put [[Nando]] out of order compared with the others in that category. You put Nando, who debuted in [[DP004]], after [[Zoey]], who debuted [[DP011|seven episodes later]]. I've went ahead and adjusted it so that Nando comes before Zoey but after [[Paul]], who debuted [[DP002|two episodes earlier]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think a split is required. The table groups everyone into protagonists ([[Ash's friends]]), antagonists (people trying to steal from or kill Ash's friends), rivals (people that Ash and his friends fight on a recurring basis), and everyone else. The antagonists and rivals often have arcs dedicated to them. Now, the reason Oak has appeared in more episodes is because he's been around since the very beginning, like Nurse Joy. She appears quite often (or did when I watched the anime), yet is at the same level as Rhonda because they aren't as important to the plot as a whole (important to small aspects, but not the overarching plot). tl;dr? Oak goes with everyone else because even though he's been around since the beginning, he's really only as important as Rhonda, Scott, and Looker. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

==History==

Tsutarja was Shooty's choice over {{p|Pokabu}} and {{p|Mijumaru}} as his first Pokémon. Shortly after obtaining it, he challenged {{Ash}} to a [[Pokémon battle]] and used Tsutarja against his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Because of Pikachu's inability to use {{t|Electric}} attacks due to an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, Tsutarja was able to defeat him.

Ryulong: /* Shooty - Part 2 */

== Shooty ==

Why isn't this character referred to as "Shooty" which is the more accurate representation of the katakana name? If it is because of the single website Shooti.jp, then this page should be renamed because that's some unrelated search engine, and the spelling is not even the same in Katakana. The name was even written wrong on this article. He's "シューティー", not "シューティ".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 08:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. I think it should be moved ASAP. Also, does it really matter what letter does his name start. Really, this is the most annoying kind of trivia ever. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

So can I just freakin' move this page finally? I think everyone agrees that Shooty is the correct romanization, not the awkward "Shooti". The only reason why people use "Shooti" is Merrick, as usual. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

:::Yeah, but look at the title of site - クチコミポータル:SHOOTI(シューティ). It's "シューティ", not "シューティー". If the character's name was "シューティ", that would indeed romanize as "Shooti". But it DOES have that final long mark. It makes a difference. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

:::::We ''don't'' fall for "good translations" but for Romanizations, there's a world of difference, and, if you want my opinion (even if you don't I'll share it xD) I think Shooti is better and we have ONE proof, do you have ANY of it being Shooty? Show us please. I don't see why Shooti is "awkward", no offence intended. I just think those who want it to be with y want it because it looks a little more English-like, but remember... romanizations don't always end up looking like English!

::::::What proof do you mean? That site isn't any proof, tht site's name is シューティ, not シューティー, so it was a different word. The fact that it turned up in Google search doesn't mean anything. There's no proof for either name. But characters BARELY EVER got official Romaji spellings. So, we have to either guess a romanization or use direct one. The direct one is "Shūtī". And "Shooti" sounds like some dumb compromise between direct romanization and anglicized one. It also ignores the long mark, so it can't be a romanization of シューティー. Also, come on, the name COMES from English. He's named "Shooty" because he shoots photos, for the love of God. And "shooty" is an actual word, "shooti" is not. Common sense says that "Shooty" is better. There are no "proofs" here. The only potential proof that could defend "Shooti" would be that spelling turning up in some actual source (like the anime itself). Otherwise, ANY romanization is an assumption. So, let's just take the best assumption. Also, if I don't get a reply quick enough, I'll just move the page. We've been holding this for too long.

== Shooty ==

Why isn't this character referred to as "Shooty" which is the more accurate representation of the katakana name? If it is because of the single website Shooti.jp, then this page should be renamed because that's some unrelated search engine, and the spelling is not even the same in Katakana. The name was even written wrong on this article. He's "シューティー", not "シューティ".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 08:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. I think it should be moved ASAP. Also, does it really matter what letter does his name start. Really, this is the most annoying kind of trivia ever. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

So can I just freakin' move this page finally? I think everyone agrees that Shooty is the correct romanization, not the awkward "Shooti". The only reason why people use "Shooti" is Merrick, as usual. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

The rest is up to you guys. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but look at the title of site - クチコミポータル:SHOOTI(シューティ). It's "シューティ", not "シューティー". If the character's name was "シューティ", that would indeed romanize as "Shooti". But it DOES have that final long mark. It makes a difference. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Even if the character was named シューティ, "Shooty" is the better translation. People should stop blindly following Serebii's translation skills. For the longest time they had [[Meloetta]] named "Melodia".[[User:Ryulong|Ryulong]] 20:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::We ''don't'' fall for "good translations" but for Romanizations, there's a world of difference, and, if you want my opinion (even if you don't I'll share it xD) I think Shooti is better and we have ONE proof, do you have ANY of it being Shooty? Show us please. I don't see why Shooti is "awkward", no offence intended. I just think those who want it to be with y want it because it looks a little more English-like, but remember... romanizations don't always end up looking like English! [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 07:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::What proof do you mean? That site isn't any proof, tht site's name is シューティ, not シューティー, so it was a different word. The fact that it turned up in Google search doesn't mean anything. There's no proof for either name. But characters BARELY EVER got official Romaji spellings. So, we have to either guess a romanization or use direct one. The direct one is "Shūtī". And "Shooti" sounds like some dumb compromise between direct romanization and anglicized one. It also ignores the long mark, so it can't be a romanization of シューティー. Also, come on, the name COMES from English. He's named "Shooty" because he shoots photos, for the love of God. And "shooty" is an actual word, "shooti" is not. Common sense says that "Shooty" is better. There are no "proofs" here. The only potential proof that could defend "Shooti" would be that spelling turning up in some actual source (like the anime itself). Otherwise, ANY romanization is an assumption. So, let's just take the best assumption. Also, if I don't get a reply quick enough, I'll just move the page. We've been holding this for too long. This Pedia needs demerricization. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::"Shooty" as a word is barely real. "Shoot" is a real word. "Shooty" is simply 'cute' Basketball and gun slang, and any real definition doesn't relate to cameras (just plants). I don't see why we just don't go with "Shuuti". At least that doesn't look like a joke of a name, even if the real intention ''is'' "Shooty".

* Shooti is Ash's third [[rival]] whose Japanese name starts with the kana '''シ''' ''shi'', the other two being "[[Gary Oak|Shigeru]]" and "[[Paul|Shinji]]" respectively. He is the fourth when counting the '''ジ''' in "[[Barry (anime)|Jun]]".
** Notably "Shū", the Japanese name of May's rival [[Drew]], also starts with this same letter. This makes Shooti the fifth major rival in the anime who's name starts with a '''シ''' or a variation of it.
