Stellar (type)

SJ: Capitalised word at the start of a sentence.

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stellar type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or [[move]]s bear it naturally, and it is exclusive to {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon. Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it was revealed that the Stellar type and the Terastal phenomenon were created by {{p|Terapagos}}. Pokémon gain the Stellar Tera Type due to the influence of the crystals found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

==Battle properties==
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Stellar
|prop=Off
|se={{Tera}}stallized Pokémon
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail. As such, Stellar-type Pokémon are in practice always weak to Stellar-type moves, in addition to any weaknesses of their original typing.

If a Pokémon is [[Cheating|hacked]] to have the Stellar type without Terastallizing, it is treated as a Poison type defensively.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1827463371383328877</ref>

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Tera}}stallizes into the Stellar type, it gains an attack boost for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for the Pokémon's original types and 1.2× (4915/4096) for every other type, including Stellar. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive this boost from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. In its Stellar Form, {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} gains increased base power at the cost of lowering the user's Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage, and Stellar-type {{m|Tera Starstorm}} changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

A Pokémon that Terastallizes into the Stellar type will be unable to use {{m|Transform}}. {{a|Imposter}} will also fail.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Stellar Type Glimmora.jpg|thumb|250px|A {{Tera}}stallized Stellar-type {{p|Glimmora}} in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]]]]
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type, but all Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} (except {{p|Ogerpon}}) can become Stellar through {{Tera}}stallization, while still being treated as its original type defensively.

===Appearance===
All Terastallized Stellar-type Pokémon (except {{p|Terapagos}}) are crystallized and coated in a rainbow aura. A Tera Jewel forms atop their head, taking the form of a white crown with its base covered in diamonds colored like all of the eighteen types. The crown is orbited by eighteen hexagonal gems each with the icon and color of its respective type. Atop the crown is a gem shaped like the [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Terapagos|Normal Form]] of Terapagos, but with an angry look. Floating above it is the symbol of the [[Terastal phenomenon]], a hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner.

===Unique Terastallized states===
Terapagos cannot have any other Tera Type than Stellar.

==Moves==
No move is naturally Stellar-type, but two moves that are naturally {{t|Normal}} become Stellar and gain additional effects if the user has Terastallized into the Stellar type.

If a move is [[Cheating|hacked]] to have the Stellar type without Terastallizing, it will have no effect and deal 0× damage.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1827259143779999885</ref>

==In the TCG==
[[File:TerapagosexStellarCrown128.jpg|thumb|200px|Stellar Tera Terapagos ex in the TCG]]
First introduced in the {{TCG|Stellar Crown}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Stellar Miracle}} expansion), cards of Terastallized {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} with the Stellar type are known as '''Stellar Tera Pokémon ex'''. Stellar Tera Pokémon ex cards have {{TCG|type}}s that follow the Pokémon's usual non-Terastallized typings, but have special powerful attacks that are named after {{wp|gemstone}}s and require three different types of {{TCG|Energy}} to use, including types that the Pokémon do not originally have in the core series. In addition to the usual Tera Pokémon ex design, Stellar Tera Pokémon ex cards have a white textbox with rainbow borders and multicolored crystal shards around the artwork.

The following is a list of all Stellar Tera Pokémon ex cards.

==Trivia==
*The Stellar type's icon is similar to Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}}'s shell. This is likely due to the shell displaying all of the other types's icons on it, similar to how the Stellar type can be considered a "mix" of all other types.
* The Stellar type is the only type:
**To be exclusive to a [[Terastal phenomenon|transformation mechanic]].
**Without a type-boosting [[held item]], damage-reducing [[Berry]], [[gem]], [[memory]], or [[Plate]].
**To be introduced mid-[[generation]] instead of at the beginning of a generation.
*Written in katakana, '''ステラタイプ''' (''Sutera type'') is an anagram of '''テラスタイプ''' (''Terasu Type''), the Japanese word for Tera Type.
*Stellar-type moves can only be resisted by the {{a|Tera Shell}} and {{a|Wonder Guard}} Abilities, the latter of which is unavailable in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
*Stellar-type moves have some similarity to [[Shadow move]]s.
**They are both exclusive to a single pair of games.
**They are both exclusive to a variation of a Pokémon created for those games (Terastal phenomenon and [[Shadow Pokémon]]).
**They both have special type interactions with that variation.
**Neither has any special interactions with other types.
**Pokémon who can use these moves have the same type interactions as their original forms, except for against the moves themselves.

'''Quaquaval''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウェーニバル''' ''Wanival'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quaxwell}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Quaxly}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Quaquaval tail SV.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Quaquaval's water feathers]]
Quaquaval is a humanoid avian Pokémon resembling a waterfowl. Its plumage is mostly dark blue, except for the light blue on its shoulders and tail, along with the white on its head, neck, chest, and individual tail feathers. Its face has blue eyes and a pointed yellow beak. Atop its head is a large, flowing, slick, dark blue crest, with long light blue and orange-red feathers at the front, separating the crest from the head. Its forearms have three sets of feathers, each tipped with light blue; and it has what resembles hands with three "fingers" each. Additional light blue accents decorate its waist and legs. Its yellow feet have bulbous segments with three toes each; the front-most segments are orange in color. It has a defined rump and an elaborate-looking tail, with a circular base and three teardrop-shaped feathers decorating it at the top, along with two chains consisting of three feathers flanking it on either side.

In battle, Quaquaval is accompanied with a series of teardrop-shaped decorative water feathers, which are ejected from the organs on its tail feathers and fanned out behind its back. When attacking, these water feathers move forward and spin around Quaquaval's body, making a buzzsaw-like arrangement that it uses to slice into its enemies. Quaquaval's legs are well-trained and have incredible strength, being able to launch a truck away with a single kick. It uses its legs to perform dance moves, some of which appear to be based on dances from faraway lands.<ref name=SVsite/> Quaquaval is viewed by {{p|Tsareena}} as its rival. Quaquaval's dances can mesmerize all those who see it. Even while Quaquaval is asleep, it has been seen swaying its whole body at every opportunity. On occasion, a sleeping Quaquaval has been seen striking elegant poses.

Quaquaval has a cheerful and energetic disposition, dancing away no matter what situation it faces. However, it is also stoic and very serious, especially when it comes to consistently polishing its skills. It can become very focused during critical situations.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaquaval/ Quaquaval — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Quaquaval is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aqua Step}}.

===Evolution===
Quaquaval evolves from {{p|Quaxwell}} and is the final form of {{p|Quaxly}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Quaquaval may be primarily based on a {{wp|peacock}}, as its coloration and water feathers around its tail, which are visually and functionally based on the {{wp|covert feather|train}} of said bird, suggest; as well as on the Iberian {{wp|red-knobbed coot}}, with whom it shares the lobed feet and the red head ornamentation. The {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|crested duck}} or {{wp|Roman goose}} could also take part of its inspiration. The association between ducks or geese and peacocks could date to ancient Rome, where both the crested goose and the peacock were sacred animals of the goddess {{wp|Juno (mythology)|Juno}}.

Quaquaval may also take inspiration from carnivalesque performers, such as those from the {{wp|Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife}} in the Canary Islands, which are known for their distance from the Iberian Peninsula despite still being part of Spain; thing referenced in Quaquaval's Pokédex entries with the mentions to far-away lands. Considering its dancelike movements and exuberant plumage, Quaquaval particularly resembles the {{wp|pt:Escola de samba#A corte da bateria|rainha de bateria}} dancer allegory from the {{wp|Rio Carnival}}, in {{wp|Brazil}}. The carnival dance it performs could be inspired by {{wp|Samba (Brazilian dance)|samba}}, an Afro-Brazilian dance often associated with the national identity of Brazil. Its Fighting type and [[signature move]], {{m|Aqua Step}}, may be based on {{wp|capoeira}}, a martial art that combines elements of dance which also originated in Brazil.

Quaquaval could also be inspired by the {{wp|Basque mythology|Basque}} {{wp|Lamia (Basque mythology)|Lamia}}, a duck-footed woman-like cryptid known for living around rivers, where they would often comb their hair.

====Name origin====
Quaquaval may be a combination of ''quá-quá'' (Portuguese onomatopoeia for duck sounds), ''aqua'', and ''carnaval'' (Spanish and Portuguese for carnival). The name also appears to draw from the adjective ''quaquaversal'', referring to a pattern that radiates in all directions from a common center; such is the case for the water feathers that fan out from Quaquaval's tail during battle.

Wanival may be a combination of ''wave'' and ''carnival''.

'''Flamigo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラミンゴ''' ''Karamingo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Flamigo is an avian Pokémon resembling a {{wp|flamingo}}. It is mostly pink, with a rounded body and wings, and a long serpentine neck that's tied into a knot at the base. It is said that Flamigo ties its neck into a knot to keep energy inside its belly from escaping. Flamigo also has long thin white legs with webbed feet, a white face, a curved beak with a black tip, and yellow eyes with black pupils.

Flamigo lives near bodies of water and in wetlands. Flocks of Flamigo are known to attack together in perfect harmony, via a behavior known as "synchronizing". Flamigo is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Costar}} as an [[Ability]].

Titan Pokémon

2022-12-11T12:15:47Z

SJ: /* History */

[[File:Path of Legends artwork.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork of a Titan Pokémon]]
'''Titan Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ヌシポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') are a type of [[variant Pokémon]] encountered in the "Path of Legends" storyline of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They appear much {{pkmn2|giant|larger}} than other Pokémon of their kind, and they guard the [[Herba Mystica]], rare ingredients said to be able to restore health instantly when eaten.<ref name=SVsite>(September 7, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/treasure_hunt/ Your Own Story, Woven Through Your Treasure Hunt]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

==History==
200 years ago, the Area Zero exploration team, led by Heath, discovered the [[Herba Mystica]] hidden deep within [[Area Zero]], in [[The Great Crater of Paldea]], located in the center of the [[region]]. They recorded information on the herbs in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} and gave the Herba Mystica their proper name. They subsequently discovered that the Herba Mystica comes in five different flavor varieties with separate healing effects. Due to this discovery, the team attempted to grow the herbs outside of Area Zero, in different sites around [[Paldea]], but before they were able to harvest them, the herbs were eaten by Pokémon, leading to the first appearances of Titan Pokémon. As a result, the project was abandoned.

At some point, a [[Paradox Pokémon]] called {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} escaped Area Zero and consumed the Herba Mystica in order become the Quaking Earth Titan.

During the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, specifically the '''Path of Legends''', [[Arven]] and the {{player}} would face off against the six respective Titan Pokémon. After defeating each Titan, Arven collects the herbs and makes [[Sandwich]]es in order to heal his wounded partner, {{p|Mabosstiff}}.

==Background==
Titan Pokémon are ordinary Pokémon empowered and grown to gigantic proportions by the [[Herba Mystica]] they eat. There are a total of five Titan Pokémon fights to accomplish. Each Titan Pokémon is fought twice; the first fight is done alone, while the second fight is done together with [[Arven]]. After defeating a Titan Pokémon as part of the story, it can be encountered again in the same area it was fought as a normal-sized Pokémon, where it can be caught. These Pokémon will have the Titan [[Mark]], which allows them to be given the [[title]] "the Former Titan."

==Trivia==
* In all languages of the games except English and Chinese, the same terms are used to refer to both Titan Pokémon and [[Totem Pokémon]].
** The Japanese term for Titan Pokémon (Japanese: '''ヌシポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') is fully written in katakana, distinguishing it from Totem Pokémon (Japanese: '''ぬしポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon''), but the two terms are otherwise identical, being pronounced the same and having the same meaning.
* Every Titan Pokémon is a single-stage Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* The Quaking Earth Titan is the only [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] Titan Pokémon.
** They are also the only Titan Pokémon that are [[Paradox Pokémon]].
** Titan Great Tusk is exclusive to {{g|Scarlet}}, while Titan Iron Treads is exclusive to {{g|Violet}}.
* The False Dragon Titan consists of both {{p|Dondozo}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}}, and their final fight is done in two phases. The player's party will be healed and their [[Tera Orb]] restored in between the two phases.
** This makes the False Dragon Titan the only Titan Pokémon with more than one battle phase.
* The Titan Pokémon, when caught, each have [[individual values]] of 30 in all stats.

Talk:Salandit (Pokémon)

2021-09-28T21:40:59Z

SJ:

==Russian name==
Could someone please add this to the In other languages section?

|ru=Саландит ''Salandit''|rumeaning=Transcription of English name

--[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 11:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

== A bit of trivia to be added... ==

I've read the {{t|Poison}} article, and it lists Salandit as the only primary Poison-type Pokémon that is also a {{t|Fire}}-type. No other Pokémon shares its type combination. [[User:LDEJRuff|LDEJRuff]] ([[User talk:LDEJRuff|talk]]) 15:11, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:We can't be sure that no other Pokémon will share this typing with it, I suppose it is better to wait until types of all Alola Pokémon are known. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 15:22, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

== Something for the name origin section ==

"Salandit" is a combination of "salamander" and "bandit", due to looking as if it's wearing a mask.[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] ([[User talk:Pokencyclopedia|talk]]) 17:26, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:... It's... it's already in the name origin...--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, I must've missed that. ^^'--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] ([[User talk:Pokencyclopedia|talk]]) 21:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

== Mythological Salamander ==

Salamanders in mythology tend to be associated with fire and/or volcanoes. The Talmud says that the salamander is a product of fire. Pliny the Elder of Rome also attributed salamanders with poisonous properties.

As a side note, as a part of my research, I found that Muhammad said that salamanders are "mischief-doers" (direct quote from wikipedia).

I am not going to post all of the information here, but people should look up Salamanders in folklore and legend on Wikipedia. [[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 17:56, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

== The only Pokemon with three 1/4 resistances? ==

Is Salandit the only Pokemon with three 1/4x resistances? Those are to Fairy, Grass, and Bug. [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 19:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:Heatran has two more. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:12, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
::He didn't ask if Salandit has the most 1/4 resistances, only if Salandit is the only Pokémon with three, so Heatran having five has nothing to do with it. However: 1. we don't know Generation VII type chart 2. we don't know if there are other Generation VII Pokémon with three 1/4 resistances 3. even if it turned out to be the only one, I don't think it would be notable.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:42, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:::I really don't think "This Pokemon is the only one with [X] [whatever fraction] resistances/weaknesses" is notable. (That's just really picky; an utterly pointless distinction.) It should only be notable if the Pokemon has the ''most''. Hence, Heatran; Salandit wouldn't be the most, so it shouldn't be notable. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:03, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

== Name origin. ==

Salandit's Japanese name comes from imori([http://www.romajidesu.com/dictionary/meaning-of-imori.html]イモリ), Japanese word for newt, and Japanese fire belly newt[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_fire_belly_newt], which has a similar pattern to Salandit's back on its belly[https://doyouknowjapan.com/image/animal/japanese-fire-belly-newt.jpg]. [[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 14:44, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
:That does seem a better candidate than gecko. Added. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:20, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
::I still think my comment about salamanders in mythology and legend is a good addition. [[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 19:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
:::I missed that somehow before. I added a mention. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:32, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

== French Name Origin ==

could the toxx also come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicofera ? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 15:15, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:Toxicofera gets "tox" from toxic. Plus, salamanders (and newts) are amphibians, not reptiles. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 15:19, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

== design ==

So is it going to be mentioned that its design is similar to cooled lava with fresh lava seeping down?[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 16:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:I think the design is also based off [what I think is] the stereotypical Japanese burglar. I've seen multiple manga/anime have a thief/burglar/what-have-you wearing a black handkerchief on their head, tied in the the back... just like Salandit has a black head and those two little fleshy things on its neck that look like a handkerchief knot. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 19:50, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

== Inspiration: Cleopatra? ==

I know this information is only based on rumor and speculation (specifically the question posed by Chinese Riddler, who's clues are often rather on point), there's a theory that Saladit and it's evolved form (the evolved form confirmed via the recent datamining leak) are based off of Cleopatra. There is good evidence to support this, such as the female's pheromones that manipulate humans and pokémon alike being similar to Cleopatra's seduction of men in legends.

I don't know how we determine what goes into the Origin section, so I figured I'd at least post this here to get the discussion started.
--[[User:Lestroisrois|Lestroisrois]] ([[User talk:Lestroisrois|talk]]) 19:05, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
:Nothing regarding any leaked information will be added to this site (see the site notice), nor should any of it be discussed on talk pages. This is not information we should have at this point, and it is not from any official source. Sorry, but things like this won't be considered as additions until official reveals. If you wish to discuss the data mining or others leaks, please do so only on the forums. Thanks. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 01:55, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

== Real-world inspiration ==

Please change that it is based on a fire belly newt, it is in fact based on a uroplatus phantasticus, a leaf-tailed gecko subspecies native to madagascar. it is the very likeness of salandit and it's evolution. {{unsigned|NinjaBoyLao}}
:Salandit's evolution has not been revealed yet. Though Salandit itself certainly doesn't resemble that particular gecko at all. It's much more similar in both body color and shape to the newt. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 14:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
::I've just seen the Australian Gecko in action (https://imgur.com/gallery/3vwaQlP) and immediately thought of Salandit and Salazzle's tendency to spray poison from their tails, not to mention the pattern the gecko has running down the length of its tail bears close resemblance it must be an inspiration! [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 21:40, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

== Gender ratio ==

The '''Slumbering Weald''' (Japanese: '''まどろみの{{tt|森|もり}}''' ''Slumbering Forest'') is a [[forest]] in southern [[Galar]], located west of [[Postwick]].

==Role==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} and [[Hop]] first visit the Slumbering Weald after they've obtained their [[starter Pokémon]] in order to chase a {{p|Wooloo}} that had forced open the gate leading to the forest. While going through the forest, the player and Hop ran straight into a thick wall of fog, and are suddenly approached by a mysterious Pokémon. None of the player's Pokémon's moves have any effect on it, and they and Hop are soon knocked unconscious as the mysterious Pokémon envelops them in completely opaque fog. The two wake up and are found soon after by [[Leon]], who also managed to find the runaway Wooloo, and leads everyone out of the forest.

After [[Rose]] interrupts the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] by starting the [[Darkest Day]], the player and Hop enter the forest again in order to find the Pokémon they met before, since legend says it once stopped the Darkest Day in the past. The player and Hop eventually find both of the Pokémon described in Galarian legends, and [[Sonia]] explains that they are known as {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, which were born somewhere beyond the Slumbering Weald long, long ago. At an altar at the deepest part of the forest, the player and Hop discover the [[Rusted Sword]] and the [[Rusted Shield]], ancient artifacts that were once used to stop the Darkest Day. Each of them takes one of the relics, before traveling to [[Hammerlocke]] to stop Rose. While the player and Hop confront {{p|Eternatus}}, Zacian and Zamazenta awaken from their long sleep near the altar and rush to join the battle.

During the post-game, the player meets Hop at Slumbering Weald and battles him. After the player has defeated Hop yet again, the two return the relics to the altar, only for [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to show up and snatch them. The player manages to recover one of the items, but the two brothers get away with the other one.

Later, Hop pursues Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} to the Slumbering Weald after the twin brothers had driven it berserk, and manages to calm it down by the time player is done {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and they and Sonia reach the Slumbering Weald. The Legendary Pokémon then willingly lets itself to be caught by Hop, becoming one of his partners. Hop then requests the player battle him for one last time, in the same place where their adventure first began. Once the battle is over, Hop declares that his new dream is to become a [[Pokémon Professor]], and Sonia offers him a place as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]], which he accepts.

===[[Wanderer]]s===
*A {{p|Stunfisk}} hides mostly beneath the soil with only its lips visible, resembling a tiny [[item]] ball. It will emerge from the dirt if stepped on or if the player [[whistle]]s. It is near the deepest part of the forest, just south of the Smoke Ball. It respawns every time when exiting and re-entering the area.

===Special===
On the player's first visit, they are forced to participate in three guaranteed [[random encounter]]s.

This is followed by a special battle with {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}. In this battle, that Pokémon's name and [[level]] are replaced with ??? and the player only has the option to Fight or Run, although they are unable to [[escape|run]]. All of the player's Pokémon's moves have no effect, and the wild Pokémon does not use any moves, instead, it keeps making the fog in the battle thicker and thicker until the player passes out at the end of the third turn.

None of these Pokémon can be caught, as the player has no [[Poké Ball]]s at this stage of the game.

[[File:Slumbering Weald altar anime.png|thumb|250px|The altar in the anime]]
The Slumbering Weald first appeared in ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]''. {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] ended up there after pursuing a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Bunnelby}} that had stolen one of their scones from a train. Goh ended up {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the Bunnelby, but he then became separated from Ash. While there, Ash encountered {{p|Zacian}}, and Goh encountered {{p|Zamazenta}}. They tried battling them, but the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were completely immune to all of the moves used. Ash and Goh were then briefly knocked out by a thickening fog before regaining consciousness and making it out of the forest.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Goh revisited the forest with [[Sonia]] in order to ask for Zacian and Zamazenta's help in stopping the [[Darkest Day]]. Following the illusions of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]], they found an altar at the center of the forest, where Goh found the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Taking them with him, he and Sonia then headed to [[Hammerlocke]].

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash and Goh revisited the forest together to return the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield to the altar. As they did, they expressed their hopes that they would get to meet Zacian and Zamazenta again in the future.

In ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]'', the forest briefly appeared during the ''World of Pokémon'' opening.

====Prior to {{chap|Sword & Shield}}====
The Slumbering Weald appeared in a flashback in [[PASS05]]. One year before the events of the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] and [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]] entered it after seeing a pair of [[Wishing Star]]s falling there. After finding them, Sōdo also wished to see the legendary [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]] at the heart of the forest. Upon finding the artifacts, they were confronted by illusions of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. As all of Shirudomiria's Pokémon's attacks just phased right through them, Sōdo was able to identify them as nothing but harmless illusions and just walked right through them. However, before the two could reach the artifacts, they were blinded and knocked unconscious by a bright burst of light. When they woke up, the artifacts and Shirudomiria's Pokémon were all gone. Sōdo, feeling partially guilty of the event, decided to help Shirudomiria find her missing Pokémon by joining the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with her, hoping to use the attention brought by it to help find Shirudomiria's Pokémon.

Hitmons

2021-08-02T15:28:18Z

SJ:

{{unknown name}}
'''Hitmons''' is a fan term used to refer to the three [[evolution]]s of {{p|Tyrogue}} ({{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}). The name comes from the prefix shared by all three Pokémon, ''hitmon''. The Hitmons all have low HP, high Attack, high Special Defense, average Defense, average Speed, and low Special Attack. All the Hitmons are male and are pure {{t|Fighting}} type. The Japanese equivalent of the ''hitmon'' prefix is the suffix '''ラー''' (''rā''). In the [[Pokémon Stadium 2: Official Nintendo Player's Guide|Nintendo Player's Guide]] for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], they were referred to as the '''Tyrogue squadron'''.<ref>[[Media:Pokémon Stadium 2 - Nintendo Player's Guide p120.jpg|Pokémon Stadium 2 Nintendo's Player Guide]]</ref>

==Tyrogue==
{| style="float:right"
| {{Compare|name=Tyrogue|type=Fighting|ndex=236|ab=Guts|ab2=Steadfast|abd=Vital Spirit|HP=35|Attack=35|Defense=35|SpAtk=35|SpDef=35|Speed=35}}
|}
{{main|Tyrogue (Pokémon)}}

Tyrogue is the first Hitmon and a baby form of the other Hitmons. Like others such as Eevee, it can evolve into a few different Pokémon. Tyrogue was introduced in [[Generation II]], and originally only learned the attack {{m|Tackle}} by [[level|leveling up]] (but was capable of learning moves through TMs) until [[Generation IV]] when it learned {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Fake Out}} as well.

Tyrogue are medium-sized Pokémon that are predominantly purple in color with a brown bottom, and resemble [[human]]s in general shape. Tyrogue have feet which resemble short pants and shoes. There are white lines on its torso which resemble bandages; these bandages also appear on its wrists as well. It has three spikes on top of its head which resembles a crest.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of three different Pokémon starting at [[level]] 20:
* {{p|Hitmonlee}} if its {{stat|Attack}} is higher than its {{stat|Defense}}.
* {{p|Hitmonchan}} if its Defense is higher than its Attack.
* {{p|Hitmontop}} if its Attack and Defense are the same.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as its remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Tyrogue is given away by the {{tc|Black Belt|Karate King}} [[Kiyo]] in [[Mt. Mortar]] after defeating him. In Crystal only, there is also a chance of hatching a Tyrogue that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} from the [[Odd Egg]] given by the [[Day-Care Man]]. In [[Generation III]] games, it can be obtained by breeding the evolved Hitmons from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it can be found with the [[Poké Radar]] on [[Route]]s {{rtn|208|Sinnoh}} and {{rtn|211|Sinnoh}}. In {{game|Black and White|s}} it can be found on [[Unova]]'s [[Unova Route 10|Route 10]] during a swarm. In {{pkmn|Dream World}}, it can be obtained in {{dwa|Rugged Mountain}}. In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, it can be found in the Fighting-type [[Friend Safari]]. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it can be found on {{rt|112|Hoenn}}, [[Jagged Pass]] and [[Fiery Path]] as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} after capturing or defeating {{p|Groudon}}/{{p|Kyogre}}. In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, it can be found on {{rt|3|Galar}}, as well as [[Rolling Fields]], [[Dappled Grove]], [[West Lake Axewell]], [[South Lake Miloch]], [[Giant's Seat]] and [[Stony Wilderness]] in the [[Wild Area]]. In addition it can appear in a [[Max Raid Battle]] in [[Dusty Bowl/Dens|Dusty Bowl]], [[North Lake Miloch/Dens|North Lake Miloch]], [[Rolling Fields/Dens|Rolling Fields]], [[South Lake Miloch/Dens|South Lake Miloch]] and [[Stony Wilderness/Dens|Stony Wilderness]].

{{main|Hitmonlee (Pokémon)}}

Hitmonlee evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is higher than his Defense. Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including its former [[signature move]]s {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, and {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. Its leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. In [[Generation IV]], it had an Ability exclusive to itself: {{a|Reckless}}, which increases the base power of moves that can deal recoil damage.

Hitmonlee is a brown colored, human-shaped Pokémon. It has three-fingered hands and three claw-like toes, and has segmented, cream-colored arms and legs. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them and appears to lack a nose, mouth, and neck. Its English name contains a reference of {{wp|Bruce Lee}}, while its Japanese name is derived from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.

In {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red, Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Hitmonlee can be chosen as one of the prizes for beating the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! only, more Hitmonlee can be found as rare spawns in {{ka|Victory Road}}. In other games, it is obtained by evolving Tyrogue.

{{main|Hitmonchan (Pokémon)}}

Hitmonchan evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is lower than its Defense. Hitmonchan's most notable ability is its wide versatility in boxing--its major attacks are almost all punches, such as {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}} and the {{m|Fire Punch|three}} {{m|ThunderPunch|elemental}} {{m|Ice Punch|punches}}. In [[Generation IV]], it also had an Ability exclusive to itself: {{a|Iron Fist}}, which increases the base power of punching moves.

Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. Its body resembles a light purple tunic and its fists resemble red boxing gloves. Its enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads, while its purple feet give the appearance of a pair of boxer shoes. Unlike its parallel evolution, Hitmonlee, it has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head. Its English name contains a reference of {{wp|Jackie Chan}}, while its Japanese name is derived from Japanese world champion boxer, {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

In {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red, Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Hitmonchan can be chosen as one of the prizes for beating the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]].

{{main|Hitmontop (Pokémon)}}

Hitmontop evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is equal to its Defense. Hitmontop attacks by spinning both its feet and hands at high speeds. As such, its several attacks involving to spinning such as {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Gyro Ball}}, and most notable for its capability of learning the most {{cat|increased priority moves|increased}} [[priority|priority moves]] of any Pokémon, including {{m|Pursuit}}, {{m|Feint}}, {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}}. Until Generation VII, it was the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] that could learn {{m|Triple Kick}}.

Hitmontop's main body has a spherical shape and is mostly blue (except for a brownish triangular patch on his chest), with short white legs and big blue feet similar to {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s (but with a different toe arrangement). It has a skinny brownish tail that ends with a blue sphere with a spike on it. Its head is round and brown with a beady-eyed face and a single spike on top.

Unlike its parallel evolutions, its name is not derived from famous people; its English name is simply combination of the prefix Hitmon and {{wp|top}}, while its Japanese name is the corruption of {{wp|capoeira}}, a Brazilian martial art.

In the main series Pokémon games, it is obtained by evolving Tyrogue. In {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, it can be [[Snagging|snagged]] from {{tc|Cipher Peon}} [[Skrub]].

Tyrogue only learns four moves by level up: {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Fake Out}}, and {{m|Foresight}}IV-VII/{{m|Focus Energy}}Gen VIII. In [[Generation VIII]], these moves are also learned by its evolutions at level 1.

The Hitmons as an evolutionary family (or at least the evolved forms) are frequently seen together when they appear. Their first collective appearance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon!]]'', where both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan (not Hitmontop, however, since this episode aired before its creation) competed in the [[P1 Grand Prix]] Champion, with Hitmonchan under the use of {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}} and Hitmonlee being stolen for use by {{TRT}}.

Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan later appeared in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble!]]'', under the ownership of [[Kiyo]]. He used them help him catch a {{p|Tyrogue}} and add him to his team as well.

Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop appeared in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'' as part of a dojo. Hitmonlee was under the possession of [[Master Hamm]], Hitmonchan under the possession of his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], and Hitmontop under the ownership of one of the students, [[Terri]]. In this episode, there was another fight between the two original Hitmons like many other episodes. However, instead of Master Hamm and Kyle battling each other, Master Hamm had {{Ash}} use his Hitmonlee and Kyle had May utilize his Hitmonchan, with the battle ending in a stalemate after Terri and Hitmontop intervened.

The Hitmons are also the signature Pokémon of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] with each of them having a different one. All three of them first appeared in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', where they were used in a battle against Ash and {{ashfr}}. Kim's Hitmonchan reappeared in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', where it was used in a battle against [[Misty's Staryu]].

[[Goh]] received a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}} after an off-screen battle against the Karate Master in ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]''. [[Bea]] used a Hitmontop in her battle against Ash in ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]''.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kiyo PO.png|thumb|250px|The Hitmons in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan briefly appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', under the ownership of Kiyo. After {{OBP|Red|Origins}} battled and defeated him, Kiyo allowed him to take either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.

Hitmonlee was seen in the same episode with Red, where it battled against [[Giovanni]]'s {{p|Rhyhorn}} and tied.

===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
Tyrogue appeared in ''[[SP12|The Tyrogue's Thoughts]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Monlee}}
Due to the fact that [[Pokémon Adventures]], as a game-based {{pkmn|manga}}, rarely adds in plots and locations that do not appear in the [[core series]] games, the Hitmons are mostly seen under the tuition of Fighting-type specialists such as [[Bruno]], who owns Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Tyrogue; and [[Chuck]], who uses Hitmontop and Hitmonlee.

Aside from these two, {{adv|Crystal}} also has a Hitmonchan named [[Monlee]] who served as a valuable member of both her team and {{adv|Emerald}}'s, but these three are the only notable people of the manga to possess members of this evolution line (though it is worth noting that since Crystal has captured every non-Legendary Pokémon up to Hoenn as of the {{chap|Emerald}}, she has to have the rest of the Hitmons as well).

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB09|Let's Use Fighting Type Pokémon!!]]'', {{GnB|Gold}} borrowed a Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop while he received a Tyrogue in that same chapter.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
[[Shu]] caught a Hitmonlee in ''[[GDZ07|Down with the "Kick Fighter"]]''. A Hitmonchan first appeared in [[GDZ21]]. Shu owned a Tyrogue in [[GDZ51]] which evolved into Hitmontop.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Giovanni's Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan}}
{{main|Red's Tyrogue}}
{{PPM|Giovanni}} owned both a [[Giovanni's Hitmons|Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan]]. {{PPM|Red}} owned a {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are the only Pokémon that were initially unrelated when they were introduced that are now in a common evolution family.
* With three evolutions, Tyrogue has the most evolutionary capabilities of any [[baby Pokémon]].
* Because Tyrogue is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are considered unrelated Pokémon with separate species-specific [[candy]].

== How Sobble's Species Origin Connects with Water? ==

[[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 23:03, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
I am aware that Sobble is based on a chameleon because of its appearance and its ability to change color, but something kind of puzzles me.

The previous Water-type starters are all based on semi-aquatic animals, but I haven't heard of chameleons being aquatic. Are there some species of chameleons that are aquatic (or capable of swimming) or is Sobble also based on other lizards that are aquatic like the basilisk lizard?

1. Maybe Sobble will evolve into pokemon more based on semi-aquatic lizards or anything else associated with water.

2. A lot of the Grass-type and Fire-type starters are based on animals that have no association with plants and fire either.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 14:56, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

I never thought about it. You have a good point. [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 20:37, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Sobble could actually be based on the Crested Newt, a frilled lizard-like amphibian. Or even be a newt/chameleon hybrid.--[[User:QuietBrowser|QuietBrowser]] ([[User talk:QuietBrowser|talk]]) 20:06, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
:This was my initial thought when it was revealed; crested newts are camouflaged in their natural habitat and are native to the UK, Grookey was the outlier there. It has chameleon influence in the curving tail and paws, but the hiding in water is basically the life of the crested newt. This should be reflected it it's origin section somehow, though it would be quite cluttered (and we haven't even started on the non-animal influences). [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 10:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

== Sobble's Connection with Water Solved! ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and I believe I figured out how it connects with water.

It could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.")

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/

Enjoy!--[[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 02:42, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

== Timid ==

== Possible trivia note? ==

I don't know all the protocols, but is it worth mentioning that Sobble would be either our third reptile Water starter (if it's a chameleon; Squirtle and Totodile preceded it), or our second or third amphibian Water starter (Froakie definitely came first, Mudkip could be either an amphibian or a fish) if it turns out to be based on a newt?--[[User:QuietBrowser|QuietBrowser]] ([[User talk:QuietBrowser|talk]]) 20:10, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Since Sobble is known as the Water Lizard Pokémon (and is based on a chameleon, a type of lizard), it would be mentioned that it is our third reptile Water starter since lizards are reptiles.

This could also complete the Lizard Starter trio since Treecko is the Wood Gecko Pokémon (geckos are a type of lizard), Charmander is the Lizard Pokémon and Sobble is the Water Lizard Pokémon.--[[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 02:12, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
:Second, thirds, (onwards) aren't notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

== Why can't I edit this page? ==

I wanted to add the following info to this page:

"Sobble's tears are capable of making others cry. This effect is so strong, it is said that its tears are as potent as 100 onions. If Sobble feels threatened, it will start to bawl and spread its tears around the area, causing everyone around it to start crying uncontrollably. Sobble will then use this distraction as a chance to escape."

Maybe in a trivia section on the page. But I get a message saying I don't have permission to edit this page. Why? [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 00:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:Usually, whenever a new Pokémon is announced, an article is immediately created but locked from users who aren't admins in order to prevent speculation and unconfirmed information from being added into the article. The lock will be lifted once the games are released. If you want the material to be included, I suggest making an edit request on the talk page for Sobble's article. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

== Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water).

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
[[File:Dratini molting.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dratini shedding its skin]]
Dratini is a serpentine Pokémon with a blue body and a white underside. It has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead. Above its round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.

Dratini's life energy is constantly building, so it is always growing and can reach lengths of over six feet. As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly and hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process. Although this Pokémon was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth, a small colony has been found living {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|underwater}}. It stays near the bottom and feeds on food that sinks from the upper levels. In the past, {{m|Outrage}} was its [[signature move]].

===Major appearances===
====[[Clair's Dratini]]====

====Other====
Dratini debuted in the [[banned episode]] [[EP035]], under the protection of the [[Kaiser|warden]] of the {{safari|Kanto}}. By the end of the episode, it turned out that the Dratini the warden met 30 years earlier had evolved into a Dragonair, and was now raising its own child Dratini.

===Minor appearances===
Dratini made its English [[dub]] debut in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' in one of {{TRT}}'s fantasies.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Clair's Dratini}}
{{main|Lance's Dratini}}
Dratini debuted in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' in [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{adv|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{adv|Red}}. It later appeared again in a flashback of Yellow's in ''[[PS083|Bang the Drum, Slowbro]]''.

[[Lance]]'s Dragonite was once a Dratini, as shown in a flashback in ''[[PS090|The Legend]]''. It was also revealed to be a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.

[[Clair]]'s Dragonair was once a Dratini, as shown in a flashback in ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]''.

A Dratini appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

A Dratini appeared in ''[[PM059|Good-Bye, Pikachu?!]]'', where it took a liking to {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. When {{PPM|Giovanni}} showed up with {{TP|Giovanni|Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan}}, Pikachu decided to protect it. Dratini then evolved into a Dragonair when it noticed that Pikachu got injured by Giovanni's {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. It evolved again into Dragonite when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} pulled its tail.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[PZ06]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} found a Dratini while [[fishing]] in the {{safari|Kanto}}. Soon afterwards, he [[trade]]d it to a {{tc|Fisherman}} in exchange for several {{type|Water}} Pokémon and the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s [[Gold Teeth|missing dentures]].

==Trivia==
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Dratini was referred to as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of ''dragon'' and ''lagoon''.
* Dratini and its evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Horsea}}, its evolved forms, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.

===Origin===
Dratini appears to be based on {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. Its constant growth is also similar to that of {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, a serpent in {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Additionally, its reclusive nature, aquatic habitat, and the fact that, for a long time, it was considered a myth are reminiscent of the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.

====Name origin====
Dratini is a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and a corruption of ''tiny''; ''tini-tiny'' is a phrase to indicate smallness. ''-ini'' is also an Italian suffix, applied to a word to imply endearment or smallness. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being 5'11" (1.8 m) in length. The name therefore may be in comparison to the size of {{p|Dragonair}}, whose length is 13'01" (4.0 m).

Miniryu is a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

Talk:Darmanitan (Pokémon)

2020-10-09T11:45:40Z

SJ:

==Physiology==
Hihidaruma is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. Hihidaruma has long, bushy flame-colored eyebrows, curled at the beginning portions, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan-colored face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal stripe of red, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression, and Hihidaruma’s head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan-colored hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Hihidaruma’s underside sports a patterning of three tan-colored ovals. [[User:Steph|Steph]] 18:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 20:58, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

I think this way would be a more complete origin:
Hihidaruma is a portmanteau of the words 狒狒 ''hihi'', baboon, 火だるま ''hidaruma'', body covered with flames and 達磨 ''daruma'', the Daruma Doll. [[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 06:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be added?:
火 ''hi'' also means fire, refering to its type. --[[User:Pokequaza|Pokequaza]] 06:38, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

==Darumakka==
Pre-evolution almost guaranteed to exist. But I guess we wait until confirmation? --[[User:Element03|Element03]] 04:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

like always... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 04:24, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

== Daruma Sprite ==

Can anyone pute this image into the page. [[File:555Z.png]]

== Daruma Mode and EVs ==

Do we know how the EVs work? It says Attack and Special Attack are swapped but is that really the case? If you EV-trained in Attack and Hihidaruma switches to Daruma mode, do those EVs get transferred to special attack?
In other words, Atk/SpAtk would be 203/30 base in normal mode if Attack is maxed. In Daruma Mode does this go to 30/203, or 93/140?
:The EVs themselves wouldn't transfer, but that's a moot point anyway, since four EVs equals one extra stat point (unless that changed in B/W). Whatever the Attack stat is after the EV training would then become the Special Attack stat in Daruma Mode, and vice versa. [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 13:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
::What about the defense change though? It seems like the actual attack and spatk stats aren't just swapped, only the base stats change. [[User:DisgruntledGoat|DisgruntledGoat]] 18:59, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

== Daruma mode = Dharma mode? ==

The Daruma doll, after all, is based off of {{wp|Bodhidharma}} so maybe the "Daruma mode" of Hihidaruma's found in the desert could be seen as Hihidaruma achieving enlightenment like Bohdidharma and succesive dharmas did? --[[User:Mackinz|Mackinz of SoulSilver]] 18:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

:Fixed your link. And that's actually an interesting observation. Perhaps that should go in its Origin section? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 20:34, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::My link was broken...? Weird. I doubled checked that link. Ah well. Anyway, this observation was made when I was researching Daruma dolls (I'll tell you on dA if you're interested why) and it should definitely go into the "Origin" section because I've been finding a few deeper bases for certain Pokemon. The current "Origin" section does not give enough of a thought to the "Dharma mode" idea. --[[User:Mackinz|Mackinz of SoulSilver]] 01:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

== It may be a bit of a stretch, but possible Daruma Mode origin; ==

This just occurred to me yesterday while I was playing Pac-Man. Perhaps Hihidaruma's Daruma Mode Forme is at least partly based off of a Pac-Man ghost when Pac-Man eats a power pellet. Look at the similarities; First, there's appearances; Daruma Mode Hihidaruma is blue with blank eyes and a closed, zigzaggy mouth. When a ghost in Pac-Man turns edible, it becomes blue, its eyes go blank, and it gains a zigzaggy mouth. Not to mention, when a ghost becomes edible, they become slower. When Hihidaruma enters Daruma Mode, its speed becomes virtually nonexistant. And the ghosts, when they become edible, they stop taking the offensive and become more defensive, as they can no longer harm Pac-Man. Similarly, when Hihidaruma changes form, its Attack plummets and its defenses go way up. Now, at this point, or perhaps even earlier, you may have been wondering, "But if Daruma Mode is based off a Pac-Man ghost, why isn't it a Ghost-type?" I think I have the answer to this as well. Originally, Pac-Man ghosts weren't actually referred to as ghosts, but as monsters. And there's no specific type for monsters. Also, unlike the arguments I've seen for the "like a moth to a flame" stuff for Ulgamoth, Pac-Man is Japanese in origin, so it isn't that {{p|farfetch'd}} for a Pokémon to be based off of some element of the game, am I right?

So what do you guys think? Is this good for the Origin section? Or the Trivia section at least? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 11:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:That makes no sense whatsoever [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 12:22, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
::It makes some sense. Even more considering somebody important in Nintendo's (forgot which) favorite video game character is Pac-Man. It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 12:23, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:::It makes sense, except for one thing. ''Why'' would Hihidaruma be based on a Pac-Man ghost? The appearance is the only thing to draw those similarities. No dex info, etc. backs it up. I don't know, perhaps the appearance is enough to deserve mention, but it seems like a bit of a stretch to me. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 14:18, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
::::I agree that it's a stretch but I do think it's a possibility.. it could explain not the design of either forme but the actual inspiration for the change/transition from one to the other. I mean, Hihidaruma (as Ken would have known it) could have been designed simply as a pure fire-type initially and then later drawn inspiration from Pac-Man for Daruma mode, or even the other way around! Basically, I agree with Missigno. Master in so far as it's a ''possibility'' but there may be no connection. Very good find though, probably worth a Trivia mention! [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 23:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

==Hacking Normal Darmanitan==

Apparently hacking a normal Darmanitan with Zen Mode is strange. After it triggers, the ability changes back to Sheer Force. [[User:Jimmyt26|Jimmyt26]] 22:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

== Flare Blitz ==

Could it be noted that Flare Blitz, when combined with Sheer Force, Sunny Day, an item that raises the attack of fire type moves, the STAB, Using Bulk Up a few times and the fact Darmanitan has the strongest physical attack of all fire types is probably the strongest Flare Blitz that any Pokemon can use? I managed to knock out a Gyarados of the same level just by using it, it makes the move super power full. [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 16:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:No, not really. We list the most possible damage that can be inflicted on Shuckle's page, but that is about it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Switch not working? ==

None of the switches on the page appear to be working. Although this article has not been edited for weeks, the move table does not show Psychic as being a STAB move, Zen Mode Darmanitan does not appear in the evobox, and none of the templates have a Psychic type border.

::Though it does have the advantage of showing Normal mode for a couple of days even if we hit a dry spell :).--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 23:00, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

==Related to the wise==
I don't know if anyone attended, but when Darmanitan becomes Zen mode, it hands hold its head like if it were closing its ears, the mouth becomes closed, and the eyes don't have pupils like if they were closed. My point is... Where have we seen this before?
The three wise monkeys, Panpour, Pansear and Pansage! I don't know if he is related to the trio but I think we should add this on Trivia. [[User:Igor Castro Chucre]]

==Regarding shiny Zen Mode Darmanitan==
If Zen Mode is Darmanitan's Hidden Ability, only obtainable from the [[Pokémon Dream World]] and you cannot get a shiny Pokémon from the Dream World, doesn't that mean that it's technically impossible to get a shiny Zen Mode Darmanitan without hacking? [[User:KyuremsIceBlade|KyuremsIceBlade]] ([[User talk:KyuremsIceBlade|talk]]) 22:36, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Never mind... I just figured out the answer... [[User:KyuremsIceBlade|KyuremsIceBlade]] ([[User talk:KyuremsIceBlade|talk]]) 22:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

== Zen Mode artwork? ==

So is there still no official Sugimori artwork for Darmanitan's Zen Mode? Where exactly is the artwork obtained from, anyway? [[User:DisgruntledGoat|DisgruntledGoat]] ([[User talk:DisgruntledGoat|talk]]) 12:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
:According to our Bulbanews articles, we get artwork from the [http://www.pokemon.jp/ Pokémon Daisuki Club]. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 12:26, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

== Zen Mode at Dream World ==

[[User:Lorenzo The Comic|Lorenzo The Comic]] ([[User talk:Lorenzo The Comic|talk]]) 13:14, 6 December 2012 (UTC) You were right, it seems that Zen Mode Darmanitan has no [[Dream World]] artwork, or even a footprint unlike Pirouette Forme [[Meloetta]] who functions perfectly fine when hacked to be available outside of battle. A few weird things happen with Zen Mode Darmanitan, such as if one were to visit its Dream Home, the visiting Pokémon will be invisible at first, but after it moves from one part of the room back into the lobby it will re-appear. But this time, the visitor Pokémon stays frozen and cannot be clicked on.

== Error in categories ==
Hello, i noticed a small inaccuracy in Darmantian's categories: it is listed as both "part of a 2 stage evolutionary line" and "not part of an evolutionary line", i suspect the second being put back when the B/W games were still being revealed, can someone remove this misleading category now? Thx [[User:Imadmagician|Imadmagician]] ([[User talk:Imadmagician|talk]]) 14:27, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
:It was actually a problem with the template being used to show Darmanitan's forms in the Evolution section, which I had previously added as a compromise to the original format, which only showed Darumaka evolving into Darmanitan, except sometimes it was "Standard Mode" Darmanitan and sometimes it was "Zen Mode" Darmanitan, when the latter is not actually possible (Darmanitan's forms do not persist outside of battle, where evolution occurs). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:17, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

== Font error in Learnset>By TM/HM category ==
I noticed that the move Psychic is in Bold (that means that it gains STAB when used by Darmanitan), which is incorrect, since it only gains STAB during Zen Mode and thus it should be writen in Italics. I tried to fix it myself, yet I was unable to do so. If someone else can please fix this. Thank you. {{unsigned|Fitifititis}}

== I'm very confused. ==

I remember that for the longest time, we only used Dream World artwork for Zenmanitan, and then at some point in recent months, I looked and saw that apparently we've not only had Sugimori art for it, but have been using it for years? And then, just today, I see that the art looks different than I remember it, but there's no previous revisions of the image, like what we see there right now is what we've had all along? I... what's going on with this? Or am I just losing it? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

:Alrighty, this is why it doesn't belong. At best, galarian zen mode darmanitan being a fiery snowmonkey instead of being chill is a trivia point.

Thanks for the clarification, which really should appear sooner. But if not as trivia, could such information appear in the origin section where you can clearly find information about three wise monkeys, which doesn't explain galarian zen mode, that seems to represent opposite - it looks evil-like, puts palms near ears to hear more and has open eyes to see more.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 11:52, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

==Galarian Darmanitan Origin==
The page says it resembles Santa Claus but I believe its head and beard are more Hindu or Sikh-inspired. The protrusion on its head sort of resembles a turban and its beard more closely resembles Eastern styles. I would say it fits better with the original Darmanitan's Buddism influence but would be keen to get another opinion. '''[[user:Emp|Emp]], out''' 22:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

''"Its shut eyes may also represent {{wp|envy}}, one of the {{wp|cardinal sins}}. In part two of {{wp|Dante|Dante's}} ''{{wp|Divine Comedy}}'', ''{{wp|Purgatorio}}'', the punishment for being envious was to have your eyes sewn shut with wire."''

Not only are its eyes are slit and closed it is also coincidentally is based off of the see-no-evil monkey, which is similar to the greed punishment. - [[User:050294|050294]] 05:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
:It's still too far fetched in my opinion. It's most likely a coincidence. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
::As stated on your talk, the monkey motif was actually based on a mix of christian, in the case of the monkeys the cardinals, and shintoism lore. - [[User:050294|050294]] 06:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Looking at more Envy info, doesn't it seem Hiyakkie's dreads are sorta like Envy's hair [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Jacques_Callot%2C_The_Seven_Deadly_Sins_-_Envy.JPG here?] I always thought Hiyakkie's dreads reminded me a bit of snakes.

The sin envy is also associated with the {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster associated with water.''"St. Thomas Aquinas described Leviathan as the demon of envy, first in punishing the corresponding sinners"'' - [[User:050294|050294]] 09:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC) - [[User:050294|050294]] 09:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe it is based on the monkey motif and hippies. {{unsigned|Mewtwomaster}}

== Artwork ==

Simipour's artwork has since been corrected. See corrected artwork at the Pokedex here: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/unova. Shouldn't the image be updated with the corrected version?
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] 06:04, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

== Simipour is actually blind/has white pupils ==

So the origin section says that its eyes are closed to represent "see no evil" of the wise monkeys. While the reference is correct, Simipour's eyes aren't actually closed. Instead, Simipour may be blind, or at least has white pupils.

For proof of this, check out this video at around 0:28 and just keep watching. You'll see that Simipour blinks repeatedly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXn3KZPB1vg

I just wanted to bring this up to provide evidence before making the change on the page, or if someone else wants to do it, feel free. {{unsigned|Nol238}}

== Teapot Origin? ==

In all artwork, Simipour has one arm on it's hip, with the other held out the side - as in the nursery rhyme 'I'm a little teapot'; possibly referenced in the 'pour' part of it's name? Given both Simisage & Simisear keep the same pose throughout artwork/sprites/models, is it possible they have some nursery-rhyme connection too?

Although モルモット (Morumotto) is derived from the word "marmot", it does not mean marmot. It means "guinea pig". The word for marmot is マーモット (Maamotto) whereas Morupeko is referring to モルモット, guinea pig. {{unsigned|Hakase}}

'''Skill Link''' (Japanese: '''スキルリンク''' ''Skill Link'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation V]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
Skill Link enables [[Multi-strike move|multi-strike moves]] that hit [[Multi-strike move#2-5 strikes per turn|2-5 times per use]] to always strike five times.

====Generation V onward====
Even if the Ability is lost in the middle of move (such as via {{a|Mummy}}), the user will still hit the maximum number of times on the turn in progress.

Skill Link now affects the moves {{m|Triple Kick}} and {{m|Triple Axel}}, that can hit up to three times. When used by Pokémon with this Ability, there will be one accuracy check for all strikes instead of individual checks for each strike.

====Affected moves====
The table below lists the moves affected by Skill Link, as well as the Pokémon that can have Skill Link and learn those moves.

'''Polteageist''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポットデス''' ''Potdeath'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sinistea}} when exposed to a [[Cracked Pot]] or a [[Chipped Pot]]. The item required depends on its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]].
* The '''Phony Form'''<ref name="guide">[[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Strategy Guide]]</ref> (if it lacks a mark of authenticity) requires a [[Cracked Pot]] to evolve.
* The '''Antique Form'''<ref name="guide" /> (if it has a mark of authenticity) requires a [[Chipped Pot]] to evolve.

==Biology==
Polteageist is a specter Pokémon with a purple body with yellow eyes, mouth, and lower body. It has thin arms and three digit hands, it also has two small legs. It possesses a large, white teapot with cracks and holes on it, exposing parts of Polteageist's body. The teapot has a yellow handle, with the rims of the cover and bottom also being yellow. The top half of the teapot is blue with swirly patterns surrounding the teapot.

It is made of black tea that tastes very good, but can cause indigestion or stomach aches if drunk in excess. Only its trainer is allowed to drink the tea. They live in hotels and restaurants to infect teapots to create more of their own kind.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/polteageist/</ref> As such, Polteageist is a genderless species. Most of the teapots that Polteageist infects are forgeries, but occasionally an authentic one is found (with a mark of authenticity on the bottom). Polteageist attacks by shooting tea at its enemy's mouth, causing them strong chills when swallowed.

Polteageist is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Teatime}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===

Polteageist may be based on a {{wp|poltergeist}}, a mischievous ghost that possesses objects, and a {{wp|teapot}} and {{wp|black tea}}. It may also be inspired by the idea of a {{wp|Jinn|genie}}, which are often depicted as residing in {{wp|oil lamp}}s. Its forms may be based on Teapot forgeries being done in Britain. Polteageist pouring its body into teacups to create {{p|Sinistea}} could be a reference to the act of pouring tea from a teapot into a cup, which is then drunk from. Additionally it may be based on the yokai Morinji-no-okama.

====Name origin====

Polteageist may be a combination of ''poltergeist'' and ''{{wp|tea}}''.

Potdeath may also be a combination of ''pot'' and ''death''. It literally means "''it's a teapot''" (''potto desu'').

== could they have meant over 200 Pokémon '''''EACH''''' ==

that was the impression I got but I want to know if in the Japanese direct they specifically said something along the lines of "over 100 Pokémon each/over 200 Pokémon in total" [[User:Wild Starfish|Wild Starfish]] ([[User talk:Wild Starfish|talk]]) 21:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC) [[User:Wild Starfish|Wild Starfish]] ([[User talk:Wild Starfish|talk]]) 21:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

== Slowking in Isle of Armour ==

Slowking appears on this list; wasn't it confirmed to require an item from Crown Tundra, with Slowbro an item from Isle of Armour to evolve? [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 12:43, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I think it's because you can still Evolve normal Slowpoke with King's rock [[User:TheBestOfAllTime|TheBestOfAllTime]] ([[User talk:TheBestOfAllTime|talk]]) 22:14, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
::That would make sense; although you cannot do that presently because neither Slowbro nor Slowking are coded into the game. With Slowking not appearing until Crown Tundra, there is no guarantee it will be implemented in Isle of Armour. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 12:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

==Failure==
Does anyone know if this move has a percent chance of failure? [[User:Schreiber|Schreiber]] 13:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
:I've seen Teleport fail a few times, but only in Generation I. And Generation I had less-accurate battle mechanics than the later games do.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 13:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I too have seen teleport fail but I don't know the % ^

could someone please get a screenshot or .gif of the the first gen version of this move being used in battle? PLEAAAASE? {{unsigned|Clay1st}}
:There is no percentage of fail, unless the player has a fail moment. You can't use Teleport when in a trainer battle, or when {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Magma Storm}}, {{m|Bind}}, or {{m|Sand Tomb}} was used on your Pokémon. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 15:13, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
==Location==
Is there any definite information on where it can be used? Is it the same as Fly, or are the location requirements different? --[[User:Kerrick|Kerrick]] 18:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
:Teleport can be used in caves, whereas Fly cannot, although I'm not sure if Teleport can be used to escape buildings. [[User:Takoto| - Takoto]] 18:50, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
::I'm not sure what game you're talking about, but in Generations I-III, it ''cannot'' be used in either caves or buildings. I've never personally tried it in IV or V, so I can't be sure about those. --[[User:MrKiwi|MrKiwi]] 18:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

== Field Move ==

At the top of the page, there is a link to "Field move", but while it links to the Ranger field moves, it doesn't say if it is meant to be the Ranger [[field moves]], or the [[Field move (main series)|Main Series field moves]]? Which one should it be? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 04:43, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
:The Ranger one (Specifically, SoA and GS). The main series one is what this page is about anyway. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

== Error ==

I'm pretty sure that when used outside of battle, this definition can't be right. While playing Platinum, I healed at the Hearthome City Pokemon Center, then went to the Hearthome Gym and battled a few trainers. Then I stepped outside the building (so I was outside, right in front of the door) and tried to teleport with my Ralts. However, it said that it couldn't be used there. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 21:19, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
==Acts like Dig in Ranger series==
In PRSoA and PRGS, the Teleport field move functions the same way Dig does in the main series (escape from caves), should this be mentioned somewhere? [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 00:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

==Escaping from Shadow Tag==
For some reason, a Kirlia was able to successfully Teleport away from my Wobbuffet despite its ability being Shadow Tag. I'm not sure if it's because of Trace, or if there is a way to escape despite being trapped. [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] ([[User talk:UxieLover1994|talk]]) 16:43, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
:Late, but it would be due to Trace. Pokémon with Shadow Tag are immune to Shadow Tag from Generation IV onward. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

== Teleport and Roar/Whirlwind Gen II fail chances ==

(Preamble: While I'll also point here when an edit summary can't handle everything, this mainly is for transparency. Only publishing information enables others to use it for themselves, or to potentially challenge it. And hey, this is a wiki, and it's got talk pages.)

As I said [[Talk:Escape#How (not) to flee|here]], I have now revisited [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/f0209d6ed6a0cd0e759dff49bdfe4d8171229c29/battle/effect_commands.asm#L6618 Teleport] and [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/f0209d6ed6a0cd0e759dff49bdfe4d8171229c29/battle/effect_commands.asm#L6720 Roar/Whirlwind] in Gen II. The procedure is very similar to what we already have at Whirlwind/Roar in Generation III. More specifically, it should be as follows (with U=user's level, T=opponent's level; please don't trust all the pokecrystal comments):
:If (U ≥ T) succeed
:Generate a random number R∈[0;U+T] {{tt|*|It's technically generate a random [0;255] number until it's less than U+T+1}}
:If (R ≥ T/4) succeed
::else fail
For Teleport, the last line is buggy for non-player Pokémon: they flee (succeed) either way. Teleport fails in Trainer battles, Whirlwind/Roar just have different effects. Whirlwind/Roar also fail if they're not used last this turn. Neither is affected by binding moves or Smoke Balls. (In addition, Whirlwind/Roar are different in that they can miss/fail due to accuracy/evasion, and they're also not affected by Mean Look or Spider Web).

Please also note that the chance of failure starts at approximately 12.5%, but drops when the user's level is higher. (This also applies to Whirlwind/Roar Gen III, although the additional +1 in the numerator really ruins it for low levels; I think imma just remove that from the Gen III section then, if that's okay with everyone.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:The same also applies in Generation I ([https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/77c3e22a4ecd3dc81918f00c548cef7c634f3419/engine/battle/core.asm#L8030 code]), the difference being that the code isn't buggy (and the comments aren't as bad).

== Tweet confirmation ==

This tweet introduces Zarude, should it be listed as a confirmation source? https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1233041088669274112 [[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 16:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

“The "Za" in its name may also be similar to the "Za" in Zacian and Zamazenta, meaning "the", so that its name means "the rude".” This line sounds very speculative to me. We’ve seen nothing that relates Zarude to Zacian or Zamazenta. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:09, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
:I think so too (I'm not an etymology expert but I remember a character from a different game called "Zamorak", associated with war; of course that could be coincidental but raising it here in case there could be a possible rooting from "war" here). There is also https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89 ; Rudo is of course a name (like Rudo the clown from Wario Land 3), but it's not necessarily inspired by Rudo either. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 20:26, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I doubt it's based on this simply because of how obscure it is, but could it be inspired by the agropelter?

Is it worth noting the 'emo' influence on Drizzile's design? So far the origin sections for the entire line can be summed up as 'veiled chameleon' and little else. Discuss. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 09:50, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
:I agree there are definitely emo vibes, maybe even school shooter vibes (crybaby, edgy depressed, guns), but the word "emo" sounds very unacademic. If you can find a way to describe emo culture from an objective viewpoint, then go ahead. [[Blipbug#Origin|Blipbug]] has a section on being a nerd or "bookworm". [[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 23:29, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
:Yeah... I removed it because noting the whole gun violence thing and connecting it to emo culture might be a tad too insensitive.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:32, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
::Wow, I would never link it to 'gun culture' personally, or even where the connection between guns and 'emo' comes from. Must be a US thing. I just took it as the bullied cry-baby Sobble developing into the smart but outsider Drizzile (uses water balloons, not guns), recruited to intelligence work as Inteleon due to those smarts. Also worth noting that despite the teary theme, Drizzile can't learn Fake Tears! [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 11:14, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

'''Mandibuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バルジーナ''' ''Vulgina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vullaby}} starting at [[level]] 54.

==Biology==
Mandibuzz is a vulture-like Pokémon, particularly resembling a turkey vulture. It has a bare, pink head and neck, along with a notched black beak and red eyes. There are black eyelashes or eyeliner-like markings above its eyes. A long brown tuft with a bone in the middle extends from the back of its head. It has a tan ruff at the base of its neck, and shaggy darker brown wings with gray tips. Mandibuzz also has shaggy brown tail feathers. Its pink feet have black talons. It has decorated itself with bones — a jaw with sharp teeth — to form a skirt. Different types of bones fall in and out of use as if there were fashion trends among Mandibuzz. Mandibuzz lives in nests made from the bones it finds. Weakened prey such as {{p|Cubone}} is dragged back to this nest after Mandibuzz swoops down on it from the sky. Mandibuzz is a female-only species.

==In the anime==

===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
Two Mandibuzz made their main series debut in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]''. One of the Mandibuzz had eaten the other's food without her permission, causing her to get kicked out of the nest. As a result, she was forced to take the den belonging to a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Scrafty}}. However, she was later defeated by {{AP|Scraggy}}'s newly learned {{m|High Jump Kick}}, allowing Scrafty to reclaim its den.

A Mandibuzz appeared in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', under the ownership of [[Katharine]]. She was one of the Pokémon Katharine offered to [[trade]] {{Ash}} for his {{AP|Scraggy}}. Mandibuzz was later used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{AP|Tepig}}, which she lost.

====Minor appearances====
Mandibuzz debuted in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. In ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', {{Ash}} spotted a Mandibuzz soaring in the sky while walking on a trail with {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}.

A Mandibuzz appeared in [[PK22]].

A Mandibuzz appeared in ''[[SM127|Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!]]'', where it attacked {{an|Gladion}} and his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}}, but was quickly driven off.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ryoku Mandibuzz Adventures.png|150px|thumb|Mandibuzz in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder manga===
A Mandibuzz appeared in ''[[FAT5|Clash! White Hero vs Black Hero]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS520|Homecoming]]'', one of the [[Seven Sages]] used a Mandibuzz during his {{pkmn|battle}} at the {{un|Pokémon League}}. It went up against the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who were helping {{adv|Black}} rescue the captured [[Gym Leader]]s.

A Mandibuzz used by [[Team Plasma]] appeared in ''[[PS539|Frozen World]]''. She attempted to capture [[Rood]] for [[Colress]], but caught {{adv|Whitley}} instead. In [[PS540|the following round]], several more Mandibuzz were seen under the ownership of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, used in an attempt to fight against {{adv|Blake}}.

A [[Flying Taxi]] Mandibuzz appeared in the  {{chap|Sword & Shield}}.

===In the Pokémon RéBURST manga===
[[Miruto]] has a Mandibuzz that she attempted to use to fly to the top of Mt. Serables. Before she could do so, however, [[Ryouga]] stopped her due to flying on the mountain being dangerous. Another Mandibuzz appears as a [[Burst]] form of [[Lukov]].

==Trivia==
* Despite Special Attack being its lowest stat, Mandibuzz awards Special Attack {{EV}}s when defeated.
* According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of {{2v2|Black|White}}. When Mandibuzz was originally created by [[James Turner]], it was unrelated to {{p|Braviary}}, but it was later decided to use its design as a counterpart to Braviary.
* Mandibuzz and Vullaby can be seen as counterparts to {{p|Braviary}} and {{p|Rufflet}}. Mandibuzz and Braviary share a base stat total of 510, evolve from their pre-evolutions starting at level 54, and are both part {{t|Flying}}. Mandibuzz and Vullaby are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|Black}}, {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2|2}}, {{game3|Sun and Moon|Moon|s}}, {{game3|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon|s}} and {{game|Sword and Shield|s|Shield}}, while Braviary and Rufflet are to White, White 2, Sun, Ultra Sun and Sword. Whereas Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female, Braviary and Rufflet can only be male.

===Origin===
Mandibuzz is based on an {{wp|Old World vulture}}, most closely resembling a {{wp|lappet-faced vulture}} with the prominent ruff of a {{wp|white-rumped vulture}}. Its design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages", {{wp|barbarian}}s, or {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}. The row of teeth around its waist resembles an apron.

====Name origin====
Mandibuzz may be a combination of ''{{wp|mandible}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:mandil|mandil]]'' and ''{{wp|buzzard}}''.

Vulgina may be a combination of ''vulture'' or ''vulgar'' and ''regina'' (Latin and Italian for ''queen'').

== Legendary? ==

I know this has been discussed before but since the main argument for Rotom not being legendary was its stats but now that it can change forms (a trait shared with several legendary Pokémon) that all have better stats ("almost making them analogous to evolutions") should this discussion be reopened.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 01:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:No. Not a legendary.[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]
::Shall we bring this up on the Castform talk page too then? What about Cherrim and Burmy? Rotom isn't legendary, it's just the Gen IV version of Snorlax, Sudowoodo and Kecleon (without the annoying blocking of your path thing). — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::The main argument was the new stats and ''event'' status. At least I new better than to edit the article outright. If nothing else, it is the first ''non''-legendary to have had new forms unlocked through events.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 02:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, technically, the official DP Pokédex released by Nintendo/Gamefreak/TVTokyo stated that Rotom was a Legendary Pokémon, but yeah, it's doubtful that it is one. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 02:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::: Then so is arcanine. Get working on that children[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]
:::::: Actually, I was referring to this (It still labels it as the Plasma pokémon, BTW.)

== "Auto-relearning" ThunderShock (in Platinum) ==

In the trivia section, there is the later part of one that says "If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with ThunderShock." I only own Platinum, and recently captured Rotom. Found the secret room, and transformed it, letting it learn that form's attack (replacing ThunderShock). Changed it to another appliance, then back to default, but found that ThunderShock had been deleted instead. Luckily, had saved just beforehand, so just did a power reset.

I then tested with just one appliance then back to default, and ThunderShock was again deleted instead of coming back and replacing the appliance's attack. So perhaps the replacing only happens in D/P? If someone could confirm and correct it, that'd be cool.

Also found that not allowing Rotom to learn the appliance's attack will also not allow Rotom to take it over. Again, no clue if this is different in D/P (if it is, obviously should be noted by someone that can confirm it).

Until confirmed, I'm removing the part I quoted for now, and someone can just retrive it later or rewrite it as neccessary.--[[User:Mondoblasto|Mondoblasto]] 08:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
:Ah, but that says the ''only'' move. I.e., delete all of Rotom's moves ''but'' the special move, then change it back. I'm fairly certain that's what it means (not that I have Platinum to confirm).

I once added a small note that Rotom may also be a combination of ''rotate'' and possibly ''atom'', which got removed. Sure Charon may have named Rotom, '''but might I add that Rotom existed before Platinum? Charon was probably not even near their heads when they were choosing a name for Rotom at that time.'''

:"As of the official Japanese tournament held in 2008, all Rotom forms have been banned from official tournaments. This is due to the special status of the alternate forms as event-exclusive Pokémon."
But wait a second.. you can get the Rotom formes without any extra events in HGSS (it's in Silph Co., not sure if you need to beat Red or anything), and I assume that the 2010 tourney from what I've heard uses HGSS only.

== Manga pics being added ==

So I'm adding the Pics of Rotom as it appears in the manga (YES I got them from Serebii...but theres a bunch of pics from there...so sue me...)

and I was wondering that when I was done they could add them to the article and make it so that it changes forms along with the game and anime artwork ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC))

Also I am done adding the pics (they are to be replaced with better versions when available)

([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC))

must I always be ignored?... [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:07, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

==Evolution section==
I raised the complaint on another page that Pokémon which change forme rather than evolving ought to have this section renamed. But this one has an added problem: Can Rotom really change directly from, say, Mow Form to Fan Form? I thought it had to exit the device it was already in first, in which case we should use a template more like that of {{p|Eevee}} and its evolutions, with the forms all changing between Normal and the specialized forms. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 16:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
:In Platinum at least it can go straight from one to another without the need to manually revert it to normal first. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:56, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
::Okay. My bad. I thought I had heard otherwise. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 22:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Can we add to the page in the physiology section that Rotom's room in black/white is in the department store? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] 14:57, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
:Done. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 18:50, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== Add To Trivia? ==

Should I add to the trivia that if you spell 'rotom' backwards you get 'motor' or is that in the name origin that I didn't read? [[User:Ethan brendan lucas|Ethan brendan lucas]] 10:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Intro ==

I didn't want to just add this so soon after being unprotected, but I propose a cleanup of the messy intro:

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[form differences#Rotom|change forms]].
*When it does not possess an appliance, it is Normal Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}} it becomes Heat Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}} it becomes Wash Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}} it becomes Frost Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*When it possesses a {{wp|mechanical fan|rotary fan}} it becomes Fan Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}} it becomes Mow Rotom, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In Generation IV, it was {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} regardless of its form.

== Trivia Correction? ==

"While some other Pokémon with alternate forms have different base stat distributions in their other forms, Rotom is the only Pokémon whose alternate forms have a different base stat total than that of the original form."

Doesn't Darmanitan's forms also have different base stat totals? --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 21:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

:Yes, it does. Thanks for pointing that out! :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Wanna chat?]])'' 21:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Fan Rotom ==

If the opponent uses a {{type|Ground}} move against a Fan Rotom holding an [[Air Balloon]] ([[Generation V]] only), provided {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Gravity}}, etc. are not used. what will the message be? Will it say that it did not affect Rotom, Rotom makes Ground moves miss with {{a|Levitate}}, or what? This doesn't really matter, and isn't related to the topic at all, but why doesn't Bulbapedia have an icon next to the site name that appears on the browser (on Mozilla Firefox)? {{unsigned|Enervation}}
:It says "It doesn't affect Rotom...". The loss of favicon (that icon you are referring to) is due to the server restructure, and we are working on fixing it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rotom's sprite in DP ==

I think the cell for Rotom's DP sprite in the sprite table should be given a rowspan of 5 in its coding, to combine it into one long vertical cell alongside the six in Platinum and HGSS. This will make it visually clear there is only one sprite for Rotom in the Generation IV pilot games, rather than pushing it up to the top of each generational row and leaving an empty space below. What do you think? P.S. Taking a look at the HTML for the sprite table doesn't seem to show any way the rowspan of any sprite can be modified, so I'd be curious to know more. [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 09:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

== Why are its Formes treated as Individual Pokemons? ==

According to the trivia placed by editors, they consider each one of Rotom's formes as an individual Pokemon. (eg. Mow Rotom is the only Pokemon to have Grass-Electric type combination?) Discuss. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:58, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
:It isn't. It's just saying that Mow (forme) rotom is the only Grass/Electric type. It's like the {{p|Arceus}} (or {{t|Poison}}; one of them) saying Poison form Arceus is the only poison type legendary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
:: Thanks for responding. I know what you mean but the way its written makes it seem like we're treating the formes like individual Pokemons though(eg.Mow Rotom is the only Grass-type ''Pokémon''?..). That's the impression that I'm getting when I first read it but I do know that its not completely true. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 09:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

== Pokemon Special ==

Should it be noted that Rotom is apparently considered a Legendary in Pokemon Special? I haven't read the Platinum chapter yet, but it shows Rotom in silhouette with the other Sinnoh Legendaries that Charon is after. [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 22:21, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
:Given that it's Charon, it's quite possible he was pursuing Sinnoh legendary Pokémon and Rotom. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:42, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
::I don't see why we should assume that. Charon and the Association President both just say he's searching for the Legendary Pokemon of Sinnoh. Charon never even directly interacts with Rotom in the manga outside of it attacking him at the end to destroy his machine, so it's not like he considers it special. [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 10:18, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Levitate Info ==
At the type effectiveness box of pokemon with the ability Levitate, the following is written:

Notes:
If Gravity is in effect, the Pokémon is given an Iron Ball, the opponent has the Ability Mold Breaker, Turboblaze or Teravolt, or it is affected by Gastro Acid, Skill Swap*, Entrainment*, Worry Seed, Simple Beam or Smack Down, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×.

So, I wondered if someone could edit the part above and make it look like this:

If Gravity is in effect, the Pokémon is given an Iron Ball '''or uses a contact move and hits an opponent with the ability Mummy''', the opponent has the Ability Mold Breaker, Turboblaze or Teravolt, or it is affected by Gastro Acid, Skill Swap*, Entrainment*, Worry Seed, Simple Beam or Smack Down, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×.--[[User:Rabitsd|Rabitsd]] ([[User talk:Rabitsd|talk]]) 12:03, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

== Rotom's Room only appears for the original Old Chateau rotom ==

I traded a Rotom from a friend and bred it to get a Level 1 Rotom, which I tried taking to Silph Co. in HeartGold as the first Pokémon in my party, but the counter lady, elevator guard and Steven were all still there, and I couldn't get into the elevator. Either this is a glitch or Rotom's Room is only accessible to the original Rotom from Old Chateau. [[User:Zywxn|Zywxn]] 12:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

== PWT type-expert. Worth noting in trivia? ==

Just wondering if it was worth noting in the trivia that because of it's form/type changing, Rotom can enter more Type Specialist tournaments at the PWT than any other pokemon, at 7. In fact I think it's the only pokemon that can enter more than 2. [[User:Magentaman|Magentaman]] ([[User talk:Magentaman|talk]]) 18:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

== Gen VI movesets ==

I can't figure out the coding, but the forme specific movesets still say Generation V at the top. Can someone who knows how please change this so they say Generation VI? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

== X/Y location directs to Gen 2 Tuesday listing ==

Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I noticed that the "Tu" link under the X/Y location entry for Rotom links to the Tuesday section of Gen 2 on the "Days of the Week" article. Any ideaos on how to fix that?

--[[User:Gumbyx84|Gumbyx84]] ([[User talk:Gumbyx84|talk]]) 20:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

== Formes in Generation VI ==

Is the [[Lost Hotel]] the only place to find the alternate forms of Rotom, or is there some Rotom's Room analog in Kalos? I'd really like to get a Frost Rotom, but I don't have the time to search one out in the Lost Hotel.

== Alternate Formes type ==
should rotom's other formes be included in being the lightest of their typings? [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]11:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

== Time Travel ==

Would appear that in the latest amine episode XY80, Rotom Elevator is a thing and has the ability to time travel it's occupants back and forward in time. {{unsigned|SorrowDemonica}}

== Pokédex Rotom ==

In the new trailer they unveiled a Pokédex Rotom, are we leaving this until we know whether it fights in battle?
[[User:Ashitic|Ashitic]] ([[User talk:Ashitic|talk]]) 13:29, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

== Pokédex form image uploaded ==

Since the page is protected, would somebody mind adding [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Rotom-Pok%C3%A9dex.png this image] in the infobox of Rotom's forms. And I know, it might not be an actual Pokémon playable in battle, but the official website states that <code> It's known as the Rotom Pokédex, and it's inhabited by Rotom</code> which means that it really IS a Pokémon, and even if that doesn't work, don't forget that {{p|Pichu}} has the Spiky-Eared form even though it doesn't exist in the games. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 21:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
:Spiky-Eared Pichu did exist in the games, though. Just, not outside of HG/SS. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:25, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

== Rotom Pokédex Biology Question ==

So I was wondering, Should the Rotom Pokédex be also mentioned in the Biology page? As its forms are mentioned on so, why not include that as well? Also Should here be a Trivia on Rotom being the only know Pokemon that can be a Pokédex? Just wanted to ask before making changes.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 03:21, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

== Normal Rotom ==

Where does the name "Normal Rotom" for the base form originate from? As far as I can tell, official material (including pokemon.com's Pokédex, the in-game ORAS Pokédex, and Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex) treats it like Kyurem and Necrozma's base forms where they're just referred to by the Pokémon's name with no additional terminology. --[[User:Mr. Bonding|Mr. Bonding]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bonding|talk]]) 03:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

==Form Change==

I went ahead and updated the text of the 'Form Change' section to reflect the fact that form-specific moves must no longer be learnt to change Rotom's form. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 12:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|change forms]].
*When it does not possess an appliance, it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}-type.
*When it possesses an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}-type.

Additionally, in [[Generation VII]], it has the ability to possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. In [[Generation VIII]], Rotom has the ability to possess a smartphone that doubles up as a Pokédex and becomes the [[Rotom Phone]].

Depending on the game, its form can be changed at will in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Rotom's Room in [[Silph Co.]], the store room in [[Shopping Mall Nine]], on the second floor of [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Lab in [[Lumiose City]], in [[Professor Birch]]'s Lab in [[Littleroot Town]], in the basement of the Pokémon Research Lab on Alola's {{rt|1|Alola}}, or with a [[Rotom Catalog]] in [[Galar]]. 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}}.

In [[Generation IV]], it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type regardless of its form.

==Biology==
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom transforming]]
Rotom has a body of plasma and is shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. [[DP105|As seen in the anime]], Rotom will often pull pranks on unsuspecting people. [[XY081|Also seen in the anime]], Rotom has the ability to [[time travel]].

[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|220px|Rotom and the appliances]]
Rotom has the ability to enter and control appliances. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, it also has five extra forms, each based on a household appliance, which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. The possessed appliances are based on a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} (Fan Rotom), and a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes form, its eyes and electric aura change colors and its aura appendages take on different shapes: red with oven mitts as Heat Rotom, blue with clothespins as Wash Rotom, purple with lightning bolts as Frost Rotom, yellow with air curls as Fan Rotom, and green with a ripped strip as Mow Rotom. According to the Rotom Catalog, Rotom in its base form is actually possessing a light bulb.

While Rotom typically use their abilities to make mischeif, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others, as seen in [[Generation]]s {{gen|VII}} and {{gen|VIII}}. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], found in [[Alola]], and the [[Rotom Phone]]s and [[Rotomi]], found in [[Galar]], are some examples. These particular forms allow Rotom to [[talking Pokémon|speak human languages]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Oak Rotom.png|thumb|250px|Rotom in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Professor Oak's Rotom]]=====
{{an|Professor Oak}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Rotom on [[Torom Island]] in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. Rotom is a prankster, often scaring {{Ash}} by appearing over the video phone whenever he calls Professor Oak. It also appeared in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] in the {{series|XY}}, helping Professor Oak with his explanation, and often laughing at him when he gets hurt.

====={{an|Rotom Pokédex}}=====
A Rotom inhabiting Ash's [[Alola]]n [[Pokédex]] debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. As a Pokédex, Rotom has access to data about many different Pokémon species, but it often hurts itself and others by trying to see a Pokémon do a certain action after reading its information. In [[SM146]], it remained in Alola while Ash returned [[Pallet Town|home]] to work with the [[Aether Foundation]].

=====Other=====
Rotom debuted in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' in all of its different forms, toying around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

Two Rotom appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'' alongside {{OP|Professor Oak|Rotom}}, where they took on all of their different forms.

A Rotom appeared in ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', under the ownership of [[Weston]]. It took the form of Wash, Mow, and Frost Rotom. In the episode, it was able to defeat [[Mantle]] and his {{p|Krookodile}} with the assistance of Ash and {{ashfr}}.

A Rotom appeared in ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', where it took the form of a Wash Rotom. An accident caused by [[Ash's Pikachu]] resulted in Rotom being ejected from the washing machine and getting swapped with Rotom Pokédex. Eventually, the Rotom were swapped back to their original places.

Two Rotom appeared in [[SS003]], where they possessed the smartphones Ash and {{an|Go}} received from [[Professor Sakuragi]], turning each into a Rotom Phone. They have since made further appearances in the [[new series]].

====Minor appearances====
A Rotom appeared as an image in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

{{main|Diamond's Rotom}}
{{main|Rotom Pokédex (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Rotom is a rare and mysterious Pokémon.

Rotom first appeared in ''[[PS345|Robust Rotom]]'' at the [[Old Chateau]] where it caused havoc for {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there. During the subsequent fight against Charon and {{p|Giratina}}, Rotom initially joined the battle transforming into its five forms, then left the fighting to the other legendary Pokémon only to strike at the very last, destroying Charon's device that allowed him to control every Pokémon and thus putting an end to his evil plans. After that, Rotom decided to stay with Diamond.

Another Rotom appears in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]'', with {{adv|Moon}}, accompanying her as she is tasked with delivering it to [[Professor Kukui]]. It later possessed Moon's [[Pokédex]], becoming the {{adv|Rotom Pokédex}}.

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its normal form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its normal form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|Legendary}} encounters, although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-Legendary Pokémon to do this.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternate forms of a Pokémon not featured in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|genderless}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Rotom and each of its forms were designed by different designers:
** Rotom's base form was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].
** Heat Rotom was designed by [[Lee HyunJung]].
** Wash Rotom was designed by [[Hiroki Fuchino]].
** Frost Rotom was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].
** Fan Rotom was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].
** Mow Rotom was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form, Heat Rotom, or Mow Rotom.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the Ability Levitate, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms except Mow Rotom are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms are the lightest Pokémon of their secondary types.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be [[List of references to Pulseman|based on]] {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}". It may also be based on {{wp|electrical energy}}.

====Name origin====
Rotom is ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.

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

==Origin Question==
Given its supposed name origin, gigantamax form, typing and skill in hypnosis and brainwashing, its high intellect, enlarged brain and observant cold nature would seem to suggest 'grey alien' a lot more than 'super villain'. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 14:39, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
:Kind of torn on that one honestly. On the one hand, I understand what you mean but at the same time, I get a feeling this could be referring to supervillians from older movies (thinking mid-80s to early 00s) that want to rule the world via controlling hearts and minds. Its Pokédex entries make me think it could be alien-type supervillian as well. I suppose at best, the wording could be changed up slightly perhaps? ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
::It seems to have a lot for the alien origin (turns into a literal flying saucer), but only the 'mind control thing' going for the super villain angle. Given the mind control ability is common to many psychic types, logically they must all be based on super villains? Am I missing some other info that links it to super villainy? [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 09:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

==A vent about possible inspiration of Orbeetle, please hear me out.==
I don't want to trample on anyone's feet, I just wanted to say a few things that have been clogging my mind for the past month before an edit can be added. I am one of possibly many folks who disagree with the Origin statement "''It may also take inspiration from hypnosis and brainwashing. In addition, its high-level intellect, the enlargement of its brain, and its observant cold nature may be a reference to stereotypical supervillains common in popular culture, whose shared objective is to achieve world domination via mind control.''" One problem with that is the mind control villain archetype is simply too numerous and vague to pinpoint any specific examples that the designer could draw from. But that is not the main point I am trying to share.

I have been constantly finding comments, both online and in real life, claiming to suspect that Orbeetle's main inspiration is that of a late 1970's Japanese science-fiction animated series called "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam]". I know next to nothing about Gundam, and I will assume the average Pokemon player (especially the current Generation Z players) does not know what Gundam is either, but when I was presented with visual and literary proof to support this claim, the evidence, coincidencal or not, seems pretty damn strong. Some people even went so far as to identify different parts of mobile suits (pilotable giant robots) in Orbeetle's design. One person in particular, suggested the head of a "RX-93 Nu Gundam", arms and legs of a "AMX-004 Qubeley", and the radar dome of a "RMS-119 EWAC Zack" to form the general appearance of Orbeetle. The result I've found was very astonishing, quite close to achieving the Pokemon's overall silhouette. Another person went out of his way to suggest the peculiar way the larger pair of antennae are shaped at the ends is supposed to reference the plastic model kits the series is apparently famous for. The identical part of the Gundam kits are typically moulded in that shape instead of sharp points.

The thing that surprised me the most was the apparent reasoning I was given about Orbeetle's Psychic typing. In Gundam, the focal characters are usually psychics used for war called "Newtypes", human beings who have evolved due to prolonged living in the conditions of outer space. The psychic abilites of these Newtypes vary per individual, from psychokinesis, to hallucinations, to subconscious mind control, but almost always have some form of precognition and heightened spacial awareness, which seems to somewhat match the Shield dex entry and hidden ability. The most profound effect of Newtype powers comes from a movie called "Char's Counterattack", in which the climax has the main character inspiring or controlling everyone in the war, friend and foe, to push back an asteroid from impacting Earth. The collective mental consciousness reaches a point where it becomes a physical tangible green energy that successfully pushes the asteroid away (Yeah I don't understand it either, I'm just summarising what I've read and been told). That feat of mass controlling everyone, ally and enemy alike, reminded me a bit of the Gigantimax dex entry. One more thing I was told: the move "G-Max Gravitas" may or may not be inspired after a famous (well, famous to Gundam fans) quote from a main character called Char Aznable that reads "Their souls are weighed down by gravity". Gundam is split into two factions, Earth and Space people, and that is apparently what Space-born people think of Earth-born people.

Again, I don't want to breach anyone's prerogatives. This has been stuck in my head for a long while now and I just want to be able to share my thoughts and confirm my suspicions. I've also noticed a note from the edit history: "No copyrighted characters to be used unless it's explicitly confirmed." Now there shouldn't be any real harm in having another fiction's character as basis for a Pokemon; many people believe Bisharp's design is inspired by Kamen Rider and that's fine, whether it may be true or not, the resemblance is there. Originality is a stream long dried up, neither us nor Game Freak really shouldn't bother worrying about if a Pokemon's concept is "100 percent original" or not. --[[User:Treatyofversailles1919|Treatyofversailles1919]] ([[User talk:Treatyofversailles1919|talk]]) 11:02, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:I think you hit the nail on the head with your last statement; many of the designers likely grew up with the Gundam franchise and aspects of their design would then eventually creep in. Anyone claiming 100% originality should not be paid any attention! But anyone that can quote you model numbers from giant fictional space robots is a fan of giant fictional space robots. While there's nothing wrong with fandom (it's why we're all here, right?), they do have the tendency to see their fandom in other things - "such and such A is referencing such and such B" when in actual fact it is doing nothing of the sort (often drawing from the same source as inspiration). There is a TVTropes page for this exact tendency, but I don't have time to hunt it down.

:The legs I will give you look similar, but they are hardly unique (they look more like Necrozma and I don't remember the Gundam bandwagon jumping on that). As for the head - Atlas from MechWarrior says hai. The G-Max move referencing gravity is almost certainly based around the "Orbit" portion of its name, as well as the "lo/moon" portion of its Japanese name (which as a whole could be taken as 'moon-orbit' as its base) and gravity's role in that. My point is the Gundam franchise is huge enough and has been around long enough that a similar argument could be made for many things, but the simple fact remains Game Freak are unlikely to create a character from parts of three others from a current, well-known (especially in their home market) and lucrative (est $26b us) franchise and not expect legal issues. People see what they want to see! [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 11:32, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

{{incomplete|section|Descrbing Copperajah and Gigantamax Copperjah's appearance}}
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
Coopperajah and its pre-evolution {{p|Cufant}} were brought over from another region to work together with humans. Its green skin makes it resist water. Cooperajah live together in herds. Its trunk has an incredible grip capable of crushing giant rocks into powder.

As a result of [[Gigantamax]]ing, Copperajah's trunk becomes packed with power. The trunk can now destroy large structures in one hit, level mountains, and change the landscape.

Gigantamax Copperajah is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Steelsurge}}.

==Trivia==
* Copperajah and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Field}} and {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]]s.

===Origin===
Given Asia's history with Britain and the use of {{wp|captive elephants}} as {{wp|working animal}}s, Copperajah may be based on an {{wp|Asian elephant}} with the digging bucket of a {{wp|backhoe}} for a trunk. It may also be inspired by {{wp|Cultural depictions of elephants|elephant statues}} often made of {{wp|copper}} or {{wp|Bronze sculpture|bronze}}, which are common in {{wp|Indian art}}.

====Name origin====
Copperajah may be a combination of ''copper'' and ''{{wp|Maharaja|Maharajah}}'' (Indian title of ''great king'').

Daiōdō may be a combination of 大王 ''daiō'' (great king), 王道 ''ōdō'' (kingship), and 銅 ''dō'' (copper) or 黄銅 ''ōdō'' (brass).

==Edit Request==
Slopoke G/S anime Pokedex entry its-it is. a small one. please![[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 14:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

==Meme==
I'd say it's worth a mention that slowpoke has become slightly famous on 4cahn's /b/ board as of late? {{unsigned|Titan}}
:Strangely however its not so popular on their {{tt|/vp/|Pokémon}} board =P. [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] 12:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
::And I think memes like that shouldn't be included until they spread outside of 4chan more, like So I herd U liek Mudkips did. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 12:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
:::It kinda has. Like that Slowpoke Michael Jackson thing they did, and on April 1st, 2010 there was Slowpedia. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 12:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

== Sprites (Crystal) ==

(Sorry for my bad English) I believe, you have to center the sprites of Crystal and Gold, because it don't looks beautiful when the sprite of Slowpoke lays so below. For example the Crystal und Gold sprites of shiny Slowpoke are in the center of the picture and in my opinion that is distinctly prettier to watch (uniformity)!--[[User:LaBumm|LaBumm]] 14:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== Slowpoke based on a Giant Otter rather than Leucistic Hippo. ==

Its marine nature, fishing habits and association with {{wp|shellfish}} have me believe that {{wp|Slowpoke}} and its evolutions are based on various species of {{wp|otter}} rather than a {{wp|Hippopotamus}} with {{wp|leucism.}} It specifically resembles a young {{wp|Giant Otter}}.

Thoughts?

[[User:Slowprobro|Slowprobro]] 07:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Just noticed this so I though I would point it out, that Slowpoke is supposed to evolve by having a Shellder clamp its tail, but they are both opposite version-exclusives in FireRed and LeafGreen, with Shellder being exclusive to FireRed and Slowpoke being exclusive to LeafGreen. So ironically, Slowbro and Slowking technically shouldnt be obtainable at all in those games. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Koffing (Pokémon)| ☠]] 16:26, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Slowpoke is based on a hippopotamus, a cartoonish one specifically.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 20:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

== Slowpoke a salmander? ==

It doesn't look anything like a salamander.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 19:48, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:Dang!Are you ever happy ? It was specied hippo in the origin section, but still there is something you don't like at any other origin page.

Salamanders have flatter bodies, flatter heads, and toes.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 22:09, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I personally now believe that the Slowpoke family are a mix between Pygmy Hippos and Giant Otters.

I thought you can't copy images from other sites? [[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 20:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

== Slowpoke and Shellder ==

In the trivia section of Slowpoke's page it is stated that Slowpoke has never been seen using a Shellder to evolve outside of the Anime. This is incorrect, in the River area of the original Pokemon Snap game for Nintendo 64 you could lure a Slowpoke close to the water's edge and watch as it stuck it's tail to do some fishing. A Shellder would latch onto the Slowpoke's tail and cause the Slowpoke to evolve into a Slowbro. --[[User:Raizerninja|Raizerninja]] ([[User talk:Raizerninja|talk]]) 04:46, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

== "Only Pokemon with (type) and (egg group)" trivia ==

I once pointed out that Slowpoke's evolution family were the only psychic Pokemon in the monster egg group. Someone undid my edit, saying this specific kind of trivia is not allowed. Does this really break some rule? If it does, does the trivia in Tyranitar's article need to be deleted as well? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:26, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
:Thanks for pointing out that trivium on Tyranitar. I've removed it as well. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:53, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

== Prorastomus sirenoides ==

May the Slowpoke is based on a Prorastomus sirenoides, an extinct species of primitive sirenian that lived during the Eocene Epoch.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prorastomus] [[User:THSPIKE|THSPIKE]] ([[User talk:THSPIKE|talk]]) 18:23, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

==Cetacean Stranding Origin==
Difficult to justify; slowpoke is not and has nothing in common with whales, nor is it stranded (has never been fully aquatic/can just walk/even caught a train). [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 09:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

'''Sparkling Aria''' (Japanese: '''うたかたのアリア''' ''Bubble Aria'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Primarina}}. It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Oceanic Operetta}} by Primarina holding [[Primarium Z]].

==Effect==
Sparkling Aria inflicts damage to all adjacent Pokémon, including allies. If the target was {{status|burn}}ed, the burn is healed. Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Soundproof}}, {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Storm Drain}}, or {{a|Water Absorb}} are not affected by this move. Burned Pokémon aren't healed of their burns if the move doesn't affect them.

==Description==
{{movedesc|water}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}} {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}|The user bursts into song, emitting many bubbles. Any Pokémon suffering from a burn will be healed by the touch of these bubbles.}}

==Name Origin==
Likely also from the city of Hull (or Kingston upon Hull if you prefer), A large seaport and centre for the fishing industry in North Yorkshire (in roughly the same location as Hulbury in Galar). Supported by the the use of 'ay up' as a greeting by one of the market stall owners - a colloquialism well associated with the region.

Talk:Applin (Pokémon)

SJ: /* Sweet and Tart Apples? */

== Sweet and Tart Apples? ==

This simply needs research and documentation. From my experience:
* Near Hammerlocke's western Pokemon Center is a youth asking for an Applin; at the end of the cutscene he will give you a [[Tart Apple]] (in Pokemon Sword).
** It's possible that in Pokemon Shield, this NPC will give you a [[Sweet Apple]] instead.

I wouldn't consider it unusual if wild Applin can be found carrying either type of Apple, but they are already an uncommon encounter in the wild, so I can't confirm. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 17:45, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes, in Shield you do get a [[Tart Apple]] in the same way. For more, I've found them as random drops (same apple as given in Hammerlocke) under the tree on [[Axew's Eye]] island, along with two cooking apples. It's not there every
day, so drop research needed. [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 10:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

==Origin==
It is obviously based on a {{wp|red fox}}, a species well known in the UK. It also has characteristics of thieves and burglars.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 23:28, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

==Homophones==
Fawkes and Fox are not homophones (words that share a pronunciation but have a different meaning). I agree there may be Guy Fawkes influence in the design, but this is a stretch. The mask would suggest more in common with Zorro (Spanish for "fox"). [[User:SJ|SJ]] ([[User talk:SJ|talk]]) 08:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

SJ:

==Bea and Allister are Version Exclusives!==

Bea is the Fighting Type Gym Leader at the Peak District Gym in Sword, whilst Allister the Ghost Type is for Shield. {{unsigned|Cynthia149}}
:Indeed true, but this is actually the third time there has been a version exclusive gym leader. The first time was Wallace and Juan in RSE, and the second time was Drayden and Iris in Black & White. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 14:58, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

== Wordplay ==

I may have cracked the wordplay for this leader.

Bea: 193 - wannainsu/ri (gibberish), hikomi (appears to be some form of martial arts move)

I attempted Allister's, but I did not get anything that seemed fitting. Two likely candidates for translation however were fukomi and hakomi. {{unsigned|Dreadnautilus}}

SJ: Gastrodon Origin update

==Type==
Uh... I think Gastrodon and Shellos from east sea are pure water, not water ground. Someone should look into this. {{unsigned|Rakuru}}
:Nope. East, west, both Gastrodon are Water/Ground. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 20:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

==Picture?==
The picture for Gastrodon is pretty pathetic atm, can anyone put in a crisp, not blurry version?--[[User:Madheroesfan|Madheroesfan]] 04:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

==East Sea Gastrodon in the anime==
Would it be worth noting that East Sea Gastrodon is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon (with the obviously exception of {{p|Porygon-Z}}) that has yet to make any kind of appearance in the anime (as all the others have appeared in the series and/or movies)? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 15:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

==Name Origin==
How sure are you that the 'don' part of Gastrodon's name comes from the Spanish honorific? I feel like it's more likely that the name comes from Gastrodonta, a genus of land snails. The only reason that might not be the case is that Gastrodonta are land snails while Gastrodon is very obviously a water snail. --[[User:Mamthew42|Mamthew42]] 21:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
==Third Eye?==
How can we be certain that the dark whet circle with a dark border in the middle of its forehead is actually an eye and not just part of its body?[[User:Leaf494|Leaf494]] 18:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, that doesn't look like an eye to me at all. I think I'll remove that bit. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 18:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
::I'd have to agree. I've never seen anyone mention a third eye over the last four years. It looks more like a charm to me. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 23:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

plus it did not go swirly when defeated [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:::I was the one who added in the bit about the third eye. If this is the case, then [[DP186]] needs to be edited. It lists in the errors section that "the third eye" did not go swirly. Based on the fact that it is identical to its other two eyes, I'd be less willing to believe it is a charm.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 23:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
::::Okay, never mind, it has already been deleted.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 23:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:::::That dot looks identical to its other two eyes. Hence the whole thing about it having a third eye. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 00:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, I really think that if it was meant to be a charm or something, they would have made it look different from its two eyes. It's a little bigger, but that's not enough evidence to make be believe it isn't an eye.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 05:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

== Anime Errors ==

Ok, almost everytime a Gastrodon has appeared, the animators have made a mistake with the coloration of its forehead. I was wondering if this was trivia worthy? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 23:17, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

== Type Effectiveness ==

*If this Pokémon has Storm Drain, the effectiveness of Water-type moves is 0×.
Shouldn't this say ''"Starting with Gen V, if this Pokémon has Storm Drain, the effectiveness of Water-type moves is 0×."''? Storm Drain's damage nullifying effect wasn't present in Gen IV. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 03:45, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

== Origin ==

Currently lists a species of sea slug that doesn't really look much like Gastrodon - Nembrotha kubaryana [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d6/9b/6f/d69b6fca50a1618c97426fadefbc4c5d.jpg] would look to be a far better choice for the East Sea (same colour, pattern...). West Sea is harder, but Nembrotha Yonowae [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nembrotha_yonowae#/media/File:Nembrotha_yonowae_(3165770279).jpg] is pink with spots.
