'''Sandflapjack''' (Japanese: '''砂のフラップジャック''' ''Suna no furappujakku'')Is a house leader from joehio. I am a young man who has an interest in Daikaiju.

===About this idiot===
Yes i do go to 4chan. But mostly /tr/. And sometimes /gif/. I do have a youtube page but i rarely make anything cool, though i used to. I'm a very talkative person, so if you want to drop me a line don't hesitate. I am always ready for a nice battle. Don't hesitate to ask about that either.
I use a "special" kind of "humor". Don't get so worked up if i "offend" you. Just chill out.

My favorite shows include Marry Shelly's Frankenhole, Bonus Stage, and comedy central's various roasts.
I HATE SOUTH PARK AND TOSH.0
SHUT UP.

I also likes the womens. DAHAHAHAHAH
Why am i so happy about that...

===What in the what is a house leader?===
Its some pogeyman related thing.
Its basically a gym league exept for minor differences:
*There is ten royal house leaders
*Each house has a theme to it instead of a certain type
*The house leader has 16 pokémon that you have to beat.
*If you beat a house leader then the house leader has to give you a prize.
** The prizes are special pokémon holding an item.
**You also get a spot on the hall of victory.
*If you beat all the house leaders you get to become one.
*There are certain pokémon you cant use
List of banned pokémon:

Talk:Kangaskhan (Pokémon)

2010-08-11T23:41:15Z

Sandflapjack: /* Is it rally just a kangaroo? */

'''Unique moves via 'M'''

some moves can be learned by a Kangaskhan that has evolved from an 'M that it can't normally learn.These Kangaskhans are not glitched and can be kept in later generations. The moves are

Fly, Thunder wave, fissure, water gun, sky attack, bubble beam, teleport, rest.

there may be more, ill add more later. anyways, maybe we could add this into the learn movesets as like a special section {{unsigned|DJLO}}

== Evolved ==

In Red, my Kangaskan evolved a M', I forget but I remember I was in a mountainous region when it happened and there was a cave enterance. That might give you some clues to its levels depending on the leve of the wild pokemon in regions with grass near a cave enterence. If I had to say it was around level 30 or so. At any rate I was shocked, I had a gameshark but it wasn't in at the time and I had done the item duplication trick a few times (I don't think I caught missingno tho). - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Fxblaster}} ([[User talk:Fxblaster|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fxblaster|contribs]]){{ #if: at 02:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC) | at 02:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC) |}}''

That my friend was a glitch.--[[User:Sludge|Sludge]] 18:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== This weird thing ==

I have this holographic card thingie with Kangaskhan on it. I know it's not a TCG because it just has a picture of the pokemon on it, it's holographic like I said. On the back it has a Pokeball and on the bottom says ©1995-1999 Game Freak. What is it? [[User:Ugoz|Ugoz]] 08:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

== Is this new? Worth mentioning? ==
Even if it's never been confirmed or officialized seeing this has been quite an eye-opener for me... Anyone else got shocked?
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/98/1251703778039.jpg {{unsigned|DJLO}}
:What is it that's never been confirmed or officialized?--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 04:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

== Name ==

Kangas Khan may just be based on 'Kangaroo' and 'Khan' (Mongolian for emperor) instead of kangaroo and Ghengis Khan. Just thought I should point this out, as that means there is no gender problems (Gengis being a guy, kangaskhan being female only. [[User:Megadog|Megadog]] 19:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== Is it rally just a kangaroo? ==

Just because it has Kanga in its name doesn't mean it is automatically a kangaroo. Ive always loved dinosaurs. So when I first saw kangaskhan this first thing that i thought was Maiasaura.
You can see for yourself on the link that follows. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiasaura] --[[User:Sandflapjack|Sandflapjack]] 20:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:There may be a resemblance, however, Kangaskhan keeps its young in a pouch, like other {{wp|marsupial}}s, including kangaroos, whereas the Maiasaura does not. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 20:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Can a pokemon get inspiration from just one source? I think not. --[[User:Sandflapjack|Sandflapjack]] 23:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males, and in {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Sabrina]] herself has a female Mr. Mime as one of her Pokémon. In fact, it is her only female Pokémon until HeartGold and SoulSilver's rematch.
**This is due to the lack of [[gender]]s in the [[Generation I]] games when it was introduced. However, the "Mr." part of its name appears to be just part of its name, rather than a title - (probably due to this not being a part of its Japanese name).
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This is possibly an homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles and Mimien, in those games, respectively.
* There was a guest villain in an episode of {{wp|The Powerpuff Girls}} named "Mr. Mime".
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokemon Emerald and every game since. It should be noted that the anime version of Mr. Mime always had five fingers.
*In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in {{pmin|Israel}}, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".
*Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with [[Generation III]], however. Only in [[Generation IV]] was the second such species introduced: its baby form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}
** Mr. Mime is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
*Mimes do not talk, though Mr. Mime does talk.
===Origin===
It appears that it is based on a combination between a {{wp|clown}} and a mime - together with a popular pantomime, pretending to be trapped in {{wp|invisible box}}es.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime's name simply refers to {{wp|mime}}s. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''barrier'' and ''weird'' - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or ''barrier'' and ''barricade''.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pantimos - From ''{{wp|pantomime}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: M. Mime - Pronounced ''Monsieur Mime''. M. is the official abbreviation of ''Monsieur'' (Mister).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마임맨 ''Maimmaen''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 吸盤魔偶 ''Xī Pán Mó Ǒu'' - "Suction magic figure". 吸盤 (Sucking disc) refers to the ones found in its fingers.

Talk:Kangaskhan (Pokémon)

2010-08-11T20:02:00Z

Sandflapjack: /* Is it rally just a kangaroo? */ new section

'''Unique moves via 'M'''

some moves can be learned by a Kangaskhan that has evolved from an 'M that it can't normally learn.These Kangaskhans are not glitched and can be kept in later generations. The moves are

Fly, Thunder wave, fissure, water gun, sky attack, bubble beam, teleport, rest.

there may be more, ill add more later. anyways, maybe we could add this into the learn movesets as like a special section {{unsigned|DJLO}}

== Evolved ==

In Red, my Kangaskan evolved a M', I forget but I remember I was in a mountainous region when it happened and there was a cave enterance. That might give you some clues to its levels depending on the leve of the wild pokemon in regions with grass near a cave enterence. If I had to say it was around level 30 or so. At any rate I was shocked, I had a gameshark but it wasn't in at the time and I had done the item duplication trick a few times (I don't think I caught missingno tho). - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Fxblaster}} ([[User talk:Fxblaster|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fxblaster|contribs]]){{ #if: at 02:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC) | at 02:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC) |}}''

That my friend was a glitch.--[[User:Sludge|Sludge]] 18:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== This weird thing ==

I have this holographic card thingie with Kangaskhan on it. I know it's not a TCG because it just has a picture of the pokemon on it, it's holographic like I said. On the back it has a Pokeball and on the bottom says ©1995-1999 Game Freak. What is it? [[User:Ugoz|Ugoz]] 08:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

== Is this new? Worth mentioning? ==
Even if it's never been confirmed or officialized seeing this has been quite an eye-opener for me... Anyone else got shocked?

:What is it that's never been confirmed or officialized?--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 04:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

== Name ==

Kangas Khan may just be based on 'Kangaroo' and 'Khan' (Mongolian for emperor) instead of kangaroo and Ghengis Khan. Just thought I should point this out, as that means there is no gender problems (Gengis being a guy, kangaskhan being female only. [[User:Megadog|Megadog]] 19:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== Is it rally just a kangaroo? ==

Just because it has Kanga in its name doesn't mean it is automatically a kangaroo. Ive always loved dinosaurs. So when I first saw kangaskhan this first thing that i thought was Maiasaura
You can see for yourself here. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiasaura] --[[User:Sandflapjack|Sandflapjack]] 20:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

'''Kangaskhan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガルーラ''' ''Garura'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kangaskhan is a kangaroo-like Pokémon with vaguely theropod-like features. Kangaskhan is colored brown with accentuations of cream on its horn-like ears and belly, with black on the helmet-like patch on its head. Kangaskhan have red irises, fangs protruding from its upper jaw, epaulette-like patches on its shoulders, and square patches on its legs. Kangaskhan also has various ridges and patches down its back and two spikes on its tail. Kangaskhan carries around a little purple baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth.
====Gender differences====
Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Kangaskhan can use the move {{m|Outrage}}, which can normally only be learned by {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon. It has a fighting spirit that is nearly indestructible, therefore it will never give up in battle. Kangaskhan are skilled at using {{m|Comet Punch}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}}.

===Behavior===
Kangaskhan are very nurturing to their young and other Kangaskhan, but if anyone tries to touch or harm their young the parent Kangaskhan will viciously attack the person trying to harm the baby Kangaskhan. When its mother is executing a move or striking a pose, the baby may imitate her actions. To avoid crushing the baby Kangaskhan carries in its pouch, it always sleeps standing up.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Kangaskhan appear mostly in jungle-like areas. They have been imported to [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]] for their [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari]] [[Great Marsh|Zones]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kangaskhan.png|thumb|Kangaskhan in the anime]]

Kangaskhan first appeared in ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]''. A group of these Parent Pokémon were watching over a wild boy named {{Ka|Tommy}}, who in turn was protecting them as well.

A Kangaskhan let her child play with {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. in one of the [[Pikachu's Winter Vacations|''Winter Vacation'' specials]].

Kangaskhan was also used in a Sumo Wrestling Contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]].''

A wild Kangaskhan held on to [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's egg]] after finding it in the forest in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]''.

[[Image:Baby Kangaskhan.JPG|left|thumb|A hurt baby Kangaskhan]]
===Minor Appearances===

A Kangaskhan, known as "Aunty Kangaskhan", owns a warehouse in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. She gave Team Go-Getters Pecha Scarves and {{p|Corsola}} twigs for their mission to save {{p|Pikachu}}.

A Kangaskhan was also seen in a flashback under [[Reggie]]'s care in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

Another Kangaskhan made a brief appearance in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Kangaskhan debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]''. Here, {{adv|Blue}} tries to catch one but is stopped by {{adv|Red}} when he (Red) realizes Kangaskhan is protecting its baby. The baby was poisoned, so Red used an [[Antidote]] to heal it. Kangaskhan is grateful and leaves; Blue watched this in amazement, but was still angry at Red for allowing Kangaskhan to escape, thus starting their [[rival|rivalry]].

In a flashback of [[Agatha]]'s, [[Professor Oak]] is seen with a Kangaskhan on his team from their league battle over two decades ago, and uses it to fight the bitter woman's {{p|Gengar}}, winning the match after hours. He still has it by the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and it is beaten both by the [[Team Rocket]] member [[Orm]] and [[Guile Hideout]] along with most of his other Pokémon, including his newly evolved {{p|Fearow}}. It has not been seen since.

==Trivia==
* It should be noted that the [[Glitch Pokémon]] [['M]] evolves into Kangaskhan. This is due to Kangaskhan's [[List of Pokémon by index number (GB)|position in the game's internal programming]], and is also why 'M (among other Glitch Pokémon) can also evolve into {{p|Rhydon}}.
* Kangaskhan is the last non-legendary Pokémon in the Fiore Browser.
* Kangaskhan is the only Pokémon that isn't a {{type2|Dragon}} that learns {{m|Outrage}} via level-up.
* Interestingly, even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[Baby Pokémon]], the Baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch.
** This is similar to what happens when a {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}} breeds (without holding a [[Luck Incense]]), as the offspring will have an {{pkmn|egg}}, already in its pouch.
===Origin===
Kangaskhan is based on kangaroos as well as Maiasaurs. Kangaroos traditionally hold young in their pouches which is what Kangaskhan does with its young. Kangaskhan Also hold some Maiasaura traits. Both are reptiles that stand on their hind legs and both are know to be extremely protective of their young. Though Kangaskhans do lack a duckbill.
====Name origin====
Kangaskhan's name is a combination of ''{{wp|kangaroo}}'' and ''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}'', founder of the Mongol Empire (possibly how its Pokédex data refers to how violently protective it is of its child). Ironically, Genghis Khan was a male, but Kangaskhan is a female-only species. Its Japanese name is derived from English words "kangaroo" (カンガルー ''kangarū'') and "ruler" (ルーラー ''rūrā'').

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kangama - Combination of ''kangaroo'' and ''Mama''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kangourex - From ''kangourou'' (kangaroo) and ''rex'' (Latin for "king").
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 캥카 ''Kaengka''

'''Rhydon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイドン''' ''Sidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhyhorn}} starting at [[level]] 42, and evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhydon is a large, gray, bipedal Pokémon with amalgam features of dinosaurs and rhinoceroses. Rhydon’s most famous feature is the cream-colored, drill-like horn on its snout, although there are other protrusions on the head as well. These include the front-pointing crest extending from the middle of its head, two triangular, ear-like features to the sides of the crest, a wavy-shaped, also ear-like extension further down its head, and the spiky ridges on the sides of its mouth. It has a long tail with skinny, black stripes. Rhydon has a cream-colored stomach and a ridged back.

====Gender differences====
The female's drill-horn is smaller than the male's.

===Special abilities===
[[File:EP204.png|thumb|Rhydon surfing]]
Rhydon's drill-horn is capable of crushing uncut diamonds, and it can knock down a building with one strike of its tail. Rhydon's rocky hide is strong enough to withstand direct cannonball fire, and serves as such effective protection that it makes Rhydon capable of living in molten lava. However, its rugged hide also makes it insensitive. Despite its typing, Rhydon are able to be taught Water-type moves such as {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Aqua Tail}}, with some Rhydon capable of {{m|surf}}ing in the water.

===Behavior===
Rhydon is apparently much smarter than its {{p|Rhyhorn|pre-evolution}}, evidenced by its ability to stand on its hind-legs. Despite this, it is still very forgetful.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Rhydon are mainly found in cavernous areas, although its rugged hide also enables it to live in lava. One is likely to encounter a wild one in [[Kanto]] or [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Rhydon anime.png|thumb|right|200px|Rhydon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Rhydon's first major role was in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', being one of [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against {{Ash}} during the first battle for Ash's {{Badge|Volcano}}. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.

''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon]]'' featured a Rhydon that knew {{m|Surf}}.

In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the Head Engineer owned a Rhydon.

===Minor appearances===
A mechanical Rhydon appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' as a part of [[Pokémon Land]].

Rhydon's true debut episode was ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', under the ownership of one of the trainers at [[Kas Gym]].

[[Giovanni]] owns a Rhydon that he loaned to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A trainer named [[Assunta]] used one to battle [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

A Rhydon belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Giant Pokémon|Giant]] Rhydon were seen on [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]''.

Rhydon also made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as one of {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}'s Pokémon.

{{an|Brock}}'s dad, {{ka|Flint}}, has a Rhydon, but was just mentioned. Flint mostly used his Rhydon for helping him decorate the [[Pewter Gym]]'s battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.

[[Nurse Joy]] had a Rhydon to help look for {{p|Kabuto}} fossils.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Ash's Infernape|Paul's Chimchar]] battled against a Rhydon and a {{p|Magmar}} in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|EP058|Rhydon|Ash's Pokédex|Rhydon, the evolved form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}. It is known as the Drill Pokémon. Its large horn gives it formidable attack power.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:VS Rhydon.png|frame|right|Rhydon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Rhydon debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', as [[Koga]]'s Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution shown in the manga due to Red's [[Poli|Poliwhirl]] and [[Blue's Charmeleon]] evolving off-screen at the time.

Rhydon is later seen as one of [[Giovanni]]'s Pokémon, but is not seen battling.

In {{PAV|9}}, {{adv|Blue}} captures a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses it to defeat [[Chuck]] in {{PAV|13}}, as well as [[Orm]] in {{PAV|23}}. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}, an evolution that succeeded in occurring thanks to {{adv|Silver}}'s knowledge of Pokémon trading, resulting in the same Rhydon, as Rhyperior, on hand with him.

Earlier in the same volume, {{adv|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}} hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}, breaking her arm in the process. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon with a strong punch to the gut. The Sudowoodo happily joined his team afterwards.

==Trivia==
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] fought [[Blaine]]'s Rhydon in the anime and defeated it, despite it being a {{type2|Ground}} immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks. Rhydon's horn also serves as a {{a|Lightningrod|lightning rod}} which negates electric attacks as of the rules for the Pokémon effect. Since then, that battle has been brought up frequently in comparisons between the games and anime and has spawned the popular Pokémon Internet meme, "Pikachu! Aim for the horn!"
* Since Rhydon's [[index number]] is 001 in the [[first generation|Generation I]] of Pokémon games, many non-hybrid [[Glitch Pokémon]] will revert back to Rhydon when caught for the first time.
* Rhydon and {{p|Rhyperior}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
* According to interviews with Ken Sugimori, Rhydon holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon ever created. This is further supported as its [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index number]] is 001 in [[Generation I]].
* Rhydon and its evolutionary relatives are the only Rock/Ground Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type instead of their primary.
* Despite multiple Pokédex entries mentioning that Rhydon's tough hide allows it to live in magma, it still takes damage from moves such as {{m|Magma Storm}}, {{m|Lava Plume}}, and {{m|Eruption}}.
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the triceratops. A possible origin may be from a daikaiju know as Baragon.
This is evident in many ways such as the large horn and ears, the ability to dig into the earth and being able to withstand lava as well as tank projectiles.
====Name origin====
Rhydon's name may be a reference to {{wp|rhinoceros}}. The ''don'' may have been intended to mean "lord." However, it is also used as a suffix, meaning "tooth", in various {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be an reference to those prehistoric creatures as well. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and the aforementioned ''don''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rizeros - Corruption of ''Rhinozeros'' (rhinoceros).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinoferos - From ''rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''féroce'' (ferocious).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코뿌리 ''Koppuri'' - Literally ''nose horn''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 鐵甲暴龍 ''Tiě Jiǎ Bào Lóng'' - "Steel-armored T-rex"

===Physiology===
Muk basically look very similar to its previous form, {{p|Grimer}}. The main differences are that Muk is larger than Grimer, and has a wider mouth and smaller eyes. It is also usually shown with its left arm being much larger then the right one, along with a strand connecting its upper and lower lip when its mouth is open. The sludge it is made of is apparently less dense than water as it has been shown to float on it in the anime.

===Gender Differences===
None.

====Special abilities====
The toxicity of Muk's form has reached the point where a single drop of it can make an entire lake stagnant and rancid. Its footprints are toxic enough for a person to contract {{wp|influenza}} if they are touched. Their infamous stench increases in the summertime, due to the toxic substances in its body intensifying. Their ability to exist in the environment without it becoming completely hazardous to other lifeforms may be attributed to their ability to actively control their toxins, as they would likely never want to deliberately pollute a river or spread any harmful diseases.

As a fully evolved Pokémon, Muk is capable of using the [[move]]s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Muks usually take charge of their family of Grimers and are very protective.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon likes warm and moist places. Groups of them accumulate in dirty places, such as garbage dumps or sewers. They sometimes also reside in dirty back alleys of towns. Despite their penchant for thriving in dirty, contaminated places, they do seem to have a limit as to how much pollution they can tolerate, as no Muk lived in the [[Lake Lucid]] of fifty years ago until some work was made on purifying it. Wild Muk are normally found only in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Muk will eat anything that is already contaminated.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Muk]]====
{{Ash}} captured a Muk in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. It was transferred to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Oak's Lab|lab]]. Ash's Muk is always trying to smother Prof. Oak. The first time Ash used his Muk in battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', as a trump card against a {{p|Bellsprout}} that had already defeated his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

====Other====
Six Muk appeared in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Muk also appeared under the ownership of [[Attila]] during ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}}, {{Prof|Oak}}, [[Misty]], {{Prof|Birch}}, or {{Tracey}} when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk's English name is tied with {{p|Mew}} for being the shortest out of all Pokémon.
*Muk's height is given as 3'11" but it is seen to have altering heights as it can expand and become taller or spread out and become shorter.
* {{p|Haunter}} and Muk are the only two Pokémon whose weight does not change as a result of evolution.
* Even though Muk's {{game|Red}}, {{game|Blue}}, and {{game|LeafGreen}} Pokédex entries state that its footprints are poisonous, Muk does not have a footprint.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Muk is one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}}, {{p|Krabby}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Its main source of inspiration may be a daikaiju Known as Hedorah. Most notably its Final form. The fact that Hedorah came from and can return to the water further proves this.
====Name origin====
Muk's name seems to be a corruption of ''muck''. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'', sticky.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sleimok - From ''Schleim'' (slime) and ''Mok'' (a modification of the English ''muck'').
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Grotadmorv - From ''gros'' (big or fat) and ''Tadmorv'' (the French name for {{P|Grimer}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 질뻐기 ''Jilppagi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 臭臭泥 ''Chòu Chòu Ní'' - "Very Foul Sludge", Muk's name is a reference to Grimer's Chinese name, 臭泥.

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Grimer is a purple pile of poisonous sludge. It has saucer-like eyes and a gray mouth. Grimer may be distantly related to {{p|Koffing}}, another Pokémon that is associated with pollution.

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

====Special abilities====
Grimer emits a very pungent, noisome odor. Since Grimer's body lacks a solid form, it can slip through the smallest of openings. Grimer's germ-infested entrails cause the ground that it passes over to be unable to bear any plant life.

As far as Grimer's skills in battle are concerned, Grimer mainly attacks by flinging poisonous {{m|Sludge}} (or mud) at its foes. Grimer can also wield {{t|fire}}, {{t|electric}}ity, and various {{type2|Ghost}} attacks. Grimer is part of one of the four Pokémon evolutionary lines that can use {{m|Gunk Shot}}.

===Behavior===
As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This is said to worsen the stench around it.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Grimer thrive anywhere there is pollution. They are most common in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]], but sightings have been recorded in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Grimer tend to feed on sludge, sewage, and other filthy things.
 
==In the anime==
[[Image:Grimer anime.jpg|thumb|right|210px|A group of Grimer in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}} and co. first encountered Grimer in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. A {{p|Muk}} and a large group of angry Grimer were gumming up the turbines in the power plant in [[Gringey City]] causing a city-wide power loss.

{{an|Dawn}} temporarily trained a Grimer in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', [[Celadon City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]] told a story about when she was a youngster, she got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} chased the Grimer off and saved her.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] wears a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He used it extensively to smother {{adv|Blue}}, preventing him from breathing and restrict his movement so that he would be unable to call on his Pokémon. He again used it in the battle with the evil Elite Four [[Agatha]], to little effect.

His daughter, [[Janine]], is later seen with a Grimer. She uses it against [[Falkner]] during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff, using its {{m|Minimize}} attack to outwit his {{p|Noctowl}}.

==Trivia==
* Grimer and {{p|Gastly}} are the only Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
**Coincidentially, both are {{type2|Poison}}s from [[Generation I]].
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's anime debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer to cover their noses form the smell. However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* In the recent 3-D games, Grimer is black instead of purple.
* Grimer is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Shadow Punch}} through breeding. Coincidentally, Grimer and {{p|Muk}} are the only non-{{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to learn this move.
**It also can learn {{m|Shadow Sneak}} through breeding, but it has no relation to a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon or shadows.
* In all of its Pokédex entries, it says how gross or dirty Grimer is. It shares this quality with {{p|Magikarp}}, whose Pokédex entries all tell how weak it is.
===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge.Its main source of inspiration may be a daikaiju Known as Hedorah, most notably its land form. The fact that Hedorah came from and can return to the water further proves this.
====Name origin====
Grimer's name seems to be a corruption of ''grime'', dirt. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sleima - A tweaking of ''Schleim'' (slime).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tadmorv - From ''tas de morve'' (heap of {{wp|mucus}}).

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Muk basically look very similar to its previous form, {{p|Grimer}}. The main differences are that Muk is larger than Grimer, and has a wider mouth and smaller eyes. It is also usually shown with its left arm being much larger then the right one, along with a strand connecting its upper and lower lip when its mouth is open. The sludge it is made of is apparently less dense than water as it has been shown to float on it in the anime.

===Gender Differences===
None.

====Special abilities====
The toxicity of Muk's form has reached the point where a single drop of it can make an entire lake stagnant and rancid. Its footprints are toxic enough for a person to contract {{wp|influenza}} if they are touched. Their infamous stench increases in the summertime, due to the toxic substances in its body intensifying. Their ability to exist in the environment without it becoming completely hazardous to other lifeforms may be attributed to their ability to actively control their toxins, as they would likely never want to deliberately pollute a river or spread any harmful diseases.

As a fully evolved Pokémon, Muk is capable of using the [[move]]s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Muks usually take charge of their family of Grimers and are very protective.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon likes warm and moist places. Groups of them accumulate in dirty places, such as garbage dumps or sewers. They sometimes also reside in dirty back alleys of towns. Despite their penchant for thriving in dirty, contaminated places, they do seem to have a limit as to how much pollution they can tolerate, as no Muk lived in the [[Lake Lucid]] of fifty years ago until some work was made on purifying it. Wild Muk are normally found only in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Muk will eat anything that is already contaminated.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Muk anime.png|right|thumb|220px|Three Muk in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Muk]]====
{{Ash}} captured a Muk in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. It was transferred to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Oak's Lab|lab]]. Ash's Muk is always trying to smother Prof. Oak. The first time Ash used his Muk in battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', as a trump card against a {{p|Bellsprout}} that had already defeated his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

====Other====
Six Muk appeared in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Muk also appeared under the ownership of [[Attila]] during ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP030|Muk|Ash's Pokédex|Muk, {{P|Grimer}}'s evolved form. Use extreme caution as its slimy form contains poison.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

{{Animedexbody|DP087|Muk|Dawn's Pokédex|Muk, the Sludge Pokémon. A {{m|Sludge|horribly toxic liquid}} seeps out of its body.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
Muk is one of the Pokémon owned by [[Koga]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]], used in his attack on {{p|Articuno}}.

Muk is seen again during the [[Elite Four]] saga, used by Koga to shield himself from the debris of the collapsing [[Cerise Island]].

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}}, {{Prof|Oak}}, [[Misty]], {{Prof|Birch}}, or {{Tracey}} when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk's English name is tied with {{p|Mew}} for being the shortest out of all Pokémon.
*Muk's height is given as 3'11" but it is seen to have altering heights as it can expand and become taller or spread out and become shorter.
* {{p|Haunter}} and Muk are the only two Pokémon whose weight does not change as a result of evolution.
* Even though Muk's {{game|Red}}, {{game|Blue}}, and {{game|LeafGreen}} Pokédex entries state that its footprints are poisonous, Muk does not have a footprint.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Muk is one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}}, {{p|Krabby}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Its main source of inspiration may be a daikaiju Known as Hedorah.
====Name origin====
Muk's name seems to be a corruption of ''muck''. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'', sticky.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sleimok - From ''Schleim'' (slime) and ''Mok'' (a modification of the English ''muck'').
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Grotadmorv - From ''gros'' (big or fat) and ''Tadmorv'' (the French name for {{P|Grimer}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 질뻐기 ''Jilppagi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 臭臭泥 ''Chòu Chòu Ní'' - "Very Foul Sludge", Muk's name is a reference to Grimer's Chinese name, 臭泥.

'''Gible''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''フカマル''' ''Fukamaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 24, who evolves into {{p|Garchomp}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Gible is a small, pudgy dragon with a big mouth filled with sharp teeth.

It is dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers its abdomen to the bottoms of its jaws. Gible has two horns that resemble {{wp|jet}} or {{wp|plane}} engines, each with a light blue stripe in the middle. It has a single light blue stripe on its backs. The fin on its head is strong enough to carry a person.

Gible is coldblooded.

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

====Special abilities====
Gible appear to be good diggers, making deep holes for homes in caverns. They seem to be playful and enjoy play-fighting with other members of their species. The have tremendously strong jaws that they use to bite enemies. However, when biting, they hurt themselves.

===Behavior===
Gible hide in their holes and wait for prey to pass by. They occasionally hold dare competitions with each other which can put them in danger. When they bite, they hurt themselves out of clumsiness. It has been depicted in the anime that Gible licks people it is fond of, like a dog.

===Habitat===
Gible lives in tunnels it constructs inside warm caves. Some also prefer to live in forests. It prefers heat similar to that of a tropical climate.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
They are most likely carnivores. However, they are sometimes found with the [[Haban Berry]]. A specific {{AP|Gible}} owned by {{Ash}} has been seen eating metal, rocks, and wood, though it's unknown if it's just that specific Gible or a diet for the species as a whole.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gible anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Gible in the anime]]
Gible made a cameo in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' where it was battling a {{p|Bronzor}}, and again as one of the victims to {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Dark Void}}. A balloon shaped like a Gible also appeared in the movie.

Gible made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'', where one was caught by [[Khoury]].

Another {{AP|Gible}} also appeared in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. It tried to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} with the help of {{Ash}} and friends, and kept failing to use it and succeeding only once. It then started to follow them by the end of the episode. It appeared again in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', where Ash captured it.

==Trivia==
*Gible's family is the only family of {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that retain the same typing throughout their entire evolutionary chain.
**Gible is also the only first-stage dual-typed Dragon-type.
*The Gible evolutionary line made its anime debuts in reverse order of evolution, Garchomp appearing first in ''[[DP40|Top-Down Training]]'', Gabite appearing second in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust]]'', and Gible appearing last in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Gible seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|shark}}. Gible and its evolved forms may also be a reference to the book series "Dougal Dixon's After Man". One species mentioned is a type of land shark that lives in desert regions.
====Name origin====
Fukamaru may be a combination of 鱶 ''fuka'', shark, and 丸 ''maru'', round. Gible may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''nibble''.

==In other languages==
