Sasshen: /* Feebas Appereance Rate */

== Feebas Levels ==
I'm sure whoever did this had some sort of official source, but I was just wondering about the accuracy of the level range given for Feebas. After trying over 15 times to get a lower-leveled one on my Sapphire game, the only levels I saw were between 21 and 25 inclusive, not 5 and 35 inclusive.
[[User:Amimizunofan22|Amimizunofan22]] 17:51, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
::Someone really need to check the levels. i am sure different rods gives different levels, instead of all 3 rods giving the same level. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 13:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
::Strangely I've only been ever able to catch Feebas in those games with an Super Rod or Old Rod, been awhile but I remember only one of them would let me get Feebas. That and it was in the level range of 21-35. I'll make sure to check later today to see which rods work and what the level range is so that part can be updated. I really doubt an Old Rod would even be able to get something up to level 35... seeing as any time I used it the highest level Pokemon caught for me was around level 10. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 16:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
::On my experience (detailed below), I got average level from 20 to 25, using super rod on Emerald. [[User:DarkCoiote|DarkCoiote]] 02:45, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

== Feebas Random Squares ==
How are the random 6 squares decided? Do they change, and if so, how? Is there a way to determine which squares contain any Feebas '''without''' having to fish for three weeks? If anyone knows the answers to any of these questions, I'll put them on the article and the Feebas article if it would help. [[User:FrozenStrategy|FrozenStrategy]] 14:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

:It's well known that the {{OBP|Trendy Phrase|Dewford}} is the trigger that determines how the tiles are chosen. As far as I'm concerned, the water tiles are selected randomly each time they shuffle. There's no real easy way to go around combing the tiles for Feebas, although I highly doubt it would take someone who knows what they're doing three weeks to find Feebas--in fact, the Trendy Phrase might change itself during that timeframe and throw off someone's progress! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:57, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

::Okay, maybe 3 weeks was a bit too exaggerated. Point is, I've been trying to get the % chance and I haven't found a single one in about an hour. So far, I've combed through about 2/3 of the small-ish pool of water near the south of the route. How often does the Trendy Phrase change on it's own?

== Feebas Appereance Rate ==

In the Pokémon section, it doesn't says the Feebas rate in the six random squares. What does that mean? Or is it that noone has typed the rate? [[User:Happy Milk XD|Happy Milk XD]] 20:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

:::No, other Pokémon can appear there too. I think the percentages would be a good thing to add. We could say "xx% (in six fishing spots)" without awkward language. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 21:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Of course, that would require someone findout out those appearance rates. Any takers? [[User:Schreiber|Schrei]][[User talk:Schreiber|ber]] 16:28, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: I don't know how this is usually done, but when I found a tile, I fished 20 times (super rod), on emerald, during heavy rain. Results: 14 Feebas / 6 Carvanhas = 70%. Lvl average 22. The strangest part is that I got a big chain, both of feebas and carvanhas. Sequence: fccffffffffffcccfcff. Is this enought to edit the route's page? [[User:DarkCoiote|DarkCoiote]] 02:30, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

:::::::Hate to revive an old thread but does anyone have a general guess as to how many times I should fish in a single spot before moving on, when I'm combing? Like, if I run into about 5 or 6 Pokémon that aren't Feebas, would it be a sign that it isn't in that particular square? [[User:Sasshen|Sasshen]] ([[User talk:Sasshen|talk]]) 03:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

==Feebas==
I agree Feebas is cool and stuff, but is there a reason it's being discussed in the intro to this route? There's a lot more being said about it than it appears here. [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 23:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

==Feebas spot==
[[File:Feebas Spot.png|left]]I was fishing for feebas (to complete my pokedex), in pokemon ruby. Then I found one, and I tested if a feebas spot can be fished to in different directions, I found the feebas at all 3 directions (I couldn't fish at the 4th spot as there where trees standing there). That proves that you can fish in any direction to get a feebas (at least in pokemon ruby).

OOps. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this be listed under Pokémon Breeding or simply Breeding? -[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Probably Poke breeding with a redirect from "breeding"

A picture says more than tousand words

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don;t know about the first, but I believe the second is because of Phanphy's ability "Pickup".--[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the PP Up is definetly a result of the pick-up. As for the rock smash, no clue. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 02:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Could be something intentional. I would assume that Phanpy could learn Strength if you taught that to Blaziken then removed it. [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 20:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy. Maybe when the breeding happened the data some how got mixed and BAM, you have a Phanphy that knows Rock Smash. Did you use any cheats (earlier on) at all?--[[User:Sorou|sorou]] 17:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

== Abilities ==
I have seen, and the D/P Nintendo power guide states that, you can pass on abilities via breeding. This would be important to note, wouldn't it? It seems like something that big should be listed. Especially when you consider the possibilities! (I personally love my wonder-guarded sableye) Also, I think this should possibly be noted in the "chain breeding" section as well.
--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out. I guess I ought to not use it much then, huh?--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:I just did a test run breeding two Kadabras, both with the ability [[Inner Focus (ability)|Inner Focus]]. They successfully bred an Abra with the ability [[Synchronize (ability)|Synchronize]]. This proves that, at least for HeartGold, ability is ''not'' passed down by either parent. --[[User:Kerrick|Kerrick]] 17:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures. So, assuming that the mother is not a Ditto, and there is a chance between the two Abilities, and the mother is holding an Everstone, there appears to be a better than 50% chance that the child will have the same ability. I have no idea how to formally prove this, but if someone could either explain to me how to prove it, or simply look into it themselves, it would be appreciated.--[[User:Xatu|Xatu]] 03:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

::The only sources I can find online that support the Miltank/Tauros breeding line are either questionable (user FAQs on the Marriland forum that contain other errors) or based on this site. [[User:Castorquinn|Castorquinn]] 22:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Ditto + Ditto? ==

No. I tried. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]

Thanks. *notices the Discussion page for Ditto and wonders why he didn't look there in the first place*. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

Then how are there wild ditto if they can't breed together?
Do they spontaneously appear or something? [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 05:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Ditto looks like a big pile of goo, maybe over time they split in half like bacteria. [[User:Darkcloud1111|Darkcloud1111]] 00:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Technical Question ==

Do the natures of the parents make any difference on whether or not they will produce an egg? I'm trying to get my Dragonite to give Outrage to a new Gible, and the old man in Solaceon says they don't like eachother at all... Obviously that's not good, but why, and what can I do to change it?

::Why do I feel compelled to respond to this comment by saying "Rape!"[[User:Mystrich|Mystrich]] 06:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg. This lower chance translates to a statistically longer period of waiting until the Daycare man hands you the egg, but nothing beyond that. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 10:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it means that it's sort of like when two people pretend to hate each other but they really love each other but don't know it themselves.

== Question ==

"However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, the egg may hatch into either the male or female species:

*[[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♀]] and [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♂]]
*[[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]] and [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]]"

Would this also be true in the case of Tauros and Miltank? Could a Miltank have an egg containing Tauros? Just asking cause it's not listed in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 10:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Would it be true to say that only the female can lay and egg that could be either? I tried breeding a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto to get a [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|♀]] but I just ended up with a dozen [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|♂]]s. I did succesfully get a [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]] from an [[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]].

:Your first assertion is correct, and has thus been added to the page. As noted in a paragraph above by myself, Tauros and Miltank are simply not linked. It seems to me that the disillusion of not having a calf-like Pokémon as a pre-evolution to both, has caused a multitude of fans to believe in some fabricated indication that one is forthcoming.

== Uhh yeah ==

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else?

==Length of time to breed==
After getting frustrated by the time it took to breed on my old silver version, I looked around for information on how long it takes two pokemon to have an egg, and I found [http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/rossos_pokemon/breeding.html this site]. This is information I think bulbapedia needs. The problem is, I don't have any other sources on it, it doesn't say if the formula holds true for later Gens as well, and the author admits that his numbers are estimates.

Hi I've tried to breed my Eevee several times but everytime time I do I get male Eevees and I kinda wanna have a female one, I was wondering if there's any way to force an egg to hatch into a female pokemon r something, I've tried hatching it in Foarama town like I read somewhere but that didnt work..

== Multiple eggs ==

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding.

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

Assuming they're not posting misinformation, I was wondering if this was a recent change to the Everstone trick that only occurred in HG/SS, while still not working in D/P/Pt. Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 07:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5.

:::::The number of steps taken for an egg to hatch is determined in cycles of 256, each 256 steps you take makes the number of cycles still needed decrease by one, so if for example you receive an egg when the game is in the 1st step of a cycle and then get another egg within the same cycle (within 255 steps) the two eggs' will reach a cycle of 0 at the same time, and since two eggs can't hatch at the same time, the game hatches it on the next step.

== Nidoran♂/Ditto pairing in Gen V produces Nidoran♀ ==

The breeding page states "However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will not produce the female counterpart." In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart. I've reproduced this several times, and it seems the chances between male and female are about 50/50. I do not know if Volbeat/Illumise are now the same way. Has anyone else tested this?

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy. Maybe when the breeding happened the data some how got mixed and BAM, you have a Phanphy that knows Rock Smash.

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out.

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures. So, assuming that the mother is not a Ditto, and there is a chance between the two Abilities, and the mother is holding an Everstone, there appears to be a better than 50% chance that the child will have the same ability.

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank.

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg.

Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding. I know moves held by females aren't carried down when breeding with ditto - do male+ditto couples pass on moves held by the male, like normal? [[User:NLawson|NLawson]] 04:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games.

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

I know that Everstones, when held by a mother, raise the chance of getting an offspring with the mother's nature to 50%.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5.

::I've had an egg given to me and then went straight down and he called me again before I reached the stairs, so the minimum of 256 steps between eggs doesn't seem to apply this generation. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 14:33, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Immediately immediately. He gave me the first egg, then I wanted to go into the daycare to grab my Altaria, but I accidentally talked to him again (or it happened automatically) and he gave me the second egg. I didn't take a single step. —[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] 07:29, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
::::This has also happened to me. I picked up a Litwick egg, then took two steps down and he called out to me saying he had another egg.
::::Something else has happened too, a good three times now I've had one egg hatch, I'd then a single step only to have yet another egg hatch. Something is fishy here. [[User:Tylian|Tylian]] 21:49, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
:::::The number of steps taken for an egg to hatch is determined in cycles of 256, each 256 steps you take makes the number of cycles still needed decrease by one, so if for example you receive an egg when the game is in the 1st step of a cycle and then get another egg within the same cycle (within 255 steps) the two eggs' will reach a cycle of 0 at the same time, and since two eggs can't hatch at the same time, the game hatches it on the next step. So if you get two eggs shortly after each other they'll hatch one step after one another. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 22:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
I had the same in Sapphire (or Emerald, I forget which). After picking up my egg, I kept mashing A and ended up with two eggs. So I took no steps between getting my eggs. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:53, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
: Almost reminds me of the time I was breeding Lapras in my White. By the time I walk into the Daycare to fetch my Lapras after receiving one Egg, the lady informs me her husband was looking for me -- violô, second egg. Not twins though; I must've crossed an egg cycle threshold during those 10 or so steps because the eggs hatched one cycle apart from each other. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

== Nidoran♂/Ditto pairing in Gen V produces Nidoran♀ ==

The breeding page states "However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will not produce the female counterpart." In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart. I've reproduced this several times, and it seems the chances between male and female are about 50/50. I do not know if Volbeat/Illumise are now the same way. Has anyone else tested this? [[User:Childowind|Childowind]] 00:36, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
:I definitely got a female Nidoran from breeding Ditto with my shiny Nidoking. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:54, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

== Gen V Old man doesn't call out when party is full ==

Has anyone else noticed this? When my party is full in Black version, the old man doesn't call out to me even if he has an egg for me. I've had times where I've gone five or ten minutes waiting for all my eggs to hatch, and once I drop them all into the PC, I'll walk outside and talk to him and he has an egg for me. But he never called out to tell me he had one.

I just wanted confirmation before I added it to the page. [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 16:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Probably a nooby question ==

If you breed two different pokemon of the same egg group, is it completely random which of the two the egg will produce? Ex. Snivy + petilil = random? [[User:Em Jae|Em Jae]] 03:03, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:The baby born will be the base species of the female. So in this case, if the female was Petilil, the baby will be a Petilil. :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 03:04, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
::Thanks for the response. That was probably in the article and I missed it or something.. lol [[User:Em Jae|Em Jae]] 05:08, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

==Gender?==

What determines the egg's gender? Is it random, or is it calculated somehow? More specifically, I'm trying to get a female Chikorita in Generation II by breading a Bayleaf (didn't check gender) with a Ditto and I keep getting males. Am I just unlucky?--[[User:Winmaster|Winmaster]] 20:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
:The chances of a Pokémon being male or female is determined by their [[gender ratio]], you should get 1 female Chikorita for every 7 males. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 08:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

==Nidoking & Ditto==

In this article, it says that a male Nidoran and a Ditto can produce both male or female Nidoran. But what happens if you put a Nidoking and a Ditto at day-care? They can still produce both female and male Nidoran? [[User:Caciulacdlac|Caciulacdlac]] 14:26, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== TWINS!!!!==
In my attempts to breed a half-decent Lucario, I had an odd happening. Driving back and forth on route three, I talked to the Old man after he called me over, and clicked through what was said- and the conversation terminated. Figuring I might have done something wrong, I reopened the conversation, and checked through again, and the conversation fired off. Checking my Party, I found I had received two eggs.

No cheats have been used in this game. At all. Just plain Black and white, new from the store- not used. level 70 Throh, Superb IV as told by Judge, and level 50ish Lucario, Above average.

Twins hatched, both were different pokemon with slightly different IVs as told by Judge in the battle subway. They have different natures as well. They hatched one immediately after the other. [[User:Flamingcanine|Flamingcanine]] 01:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

== Platinum Rules ==

I know in the article that it says the breeding system from Emerald carried into Diamond and Pearl, but does that also mean the same breeding system applies to Platinum, or is Platinum's breeding system more like HG/SS? [[User:Sasshen|Sasshen]] 16:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest).

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen

'''Remoraid''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッポウオ''' ''Teppouo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Octillery}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Remoraid is a small, light-blue fish-like Pokémon. It has saucer-like eyes, two darker-blue markings on its back and a purple mouth with four pointed teeth. Remoraid has a single pelvic fin positioned like a revolver's trigger, two caudal fins (the bottom one resembling the butt of a gun and the top one being the hammer), two small pectoral fins and a dorsal fin near its mouth, as if a gun's front sight. Remoraid may be a distant cousin of {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Feebas}} due to the fact all three are fish-like Pokémon that evolve into completely different sea-creatures (even though Remoraid's evolved form is an octopus while Magikarp and Feebas evolve into sea-serpents).
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Remoraid has the typical abilities of a {{type2|Water}}, but also learns various beam-based moves (Remoraid is one of the few Pokémon that aren't fully evolved to learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}), as well as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Octazooka}} and {{m|Rock Blast}} to coincide with its gun-like appearance. Unlike most Water-type Pokémon, Remoraid is capable of using {{type2|Fire}} attacks. The presence of a Remoraid has been known to make {{p|Mantyke}} evolve.

===Behavior===
Remoraid are well-known for their ability to shoot jets of water from the surface with incredible accuracy - often this is used to shoot bugs out of the air. They tend to travel with {{p|Mantine}} by attaching to its fins. When evolution draws near, Remoraid travels downstream from rivers.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Remoraid are sea-dwelling Pokémon.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Remoraid are known to shoot down flying insect prey with precision blasts of water. In addition, they often cling to the fins of {{p|Mantine}} and devour leftover bits of food the larger Pokémon leave behind.

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|Section|We need a picture of Remoraid's full body}}
[[Image:Remoraid Anime.png|thumb|right|Remoraid in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Remoraid first appeared in ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''. The Remoraid featured were living in [[Remoraid Mountain]].

''[[EP215|Octillery The Outcast!]]'' featured Remoraid, as well as {{p|Octillery|its evolved form}}.

===Minor appearances===
Remoraid were used as guns in a movie that was shown in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]].''

A Remoraid appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

A shoal of Remoraid appeared in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

A Remoraid also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Multiple Remoraid have a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP185|Remoraid|Ash's Pokédex|Remoraid, the Jet Pokémon. Often found in large groups, Remoraid can {{m|Water Gun|fire water}} and hit targets up to 100 meters away.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In {{PAV|11}}, {{adv|Crystal}} captures a swarm of Remoraid during her ocean trip with {{adv|Yellow}} and Fisherman [[Wilton]]. In the {{PAV|12|next volume}}, Wilton gives them to {{adv|Gold}}, who uses them to power his {{p|Mantine}} for aerial transport.

|}
</div>

* The Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of {{wp|Pulseman}} bears [[List of references to Pulseman|a resemblance]] to Remoraid, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols. This may be on purpose due to the fact that [[Ken Sugimori]] designed the characters in this game and also designs Pokémon.
* Remoraid is the only Pokémon so far that is needed to evolve another Pokémon in the same party. Without Remoraid's presence, {{p|Mantyke}} cannot evolve into {{p|Mantine}}. In the anime and Pokédex entries however, it is shown that {{p|Shellder}} is needed to evolve {{p|Slowpoke}}.
* Despite its symbiotic relationship with {{p|Mantine}} in previous generations, it no longer appears in Mantine's sprites from [[Generation IV]] onwards.
** This is the same generation as Remoraid is needed to obtain a Mantine by evolution from Mantyke. However, since Remoraid doesn't disappear from party after Mantyke's evolution, it is only logical that Remoraid is missing on Mantine's sprite.
* Despite that Remoraid is considered {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|a dweller of deep seas}} (hence its relationship with Mantine) it is most often caught in small ponds or lakes in the video games. Furthermore, these spots do not actually contain Mantine.
*Even though Remoraid is classified as the Jet Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Aqua Jet}} by any means.
* Remoraid can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Qwilfish}}. Both of them are {{type|Water}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Remoraid is exclusive to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]], while Qwilfish is exclusive to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions.
*When most [[Pokémon]] evolve, they retain or ressemble their pre-evolution. Remoraid, however, changes drastically, changing from a {{wp|fish}} to an {{wp|octopus}}.

===Origin===
Remoraid's talent for shooting attacks is similar to an {{wp|archerfish|archerfish's}}. Considering its relationship to {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}} it appears to also be based on a {{wp|remora}}. Its shooting abilities, general shape, and appearance make it similar to {{wp|firearms}}, more specifically, {{Wp|revolver|revolvers}}.

====Name origin====
Remoraid's name may be a combination of "remora" and "raid", as in a rapid attack. Alternatively, its name could be a combination of "remora" and "aid", denoting the health benefits of some fish which clean others. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 鉄砲 ''teppō'', gun—as in {{wp|water gun}}—and 魚 ''uo'', fish. 鉄砲魚 ''teppōuo'' is also the Japanese name for the archerfish.

Damage

2010-05-14T02:24:38Z

Sasshen: The scenario presented to explain critical-hit ratio rising above 50% was not logically sound because it stated that a psychic-type move would damage a dark-type Pokemon without the use of Miracle Eye

'''Damage modification''' is a system of multipliers used to change the [[damage]] dealt in a {{pkmn|battle}}. These modifiers affect how the damage is calculated by multiplying the move's [[base power]] in various ways. These modifiers range from doubling to halving and even negating the damage done.

==Type effectiveness==
Since each move has an [[elemental types|elemental type]], its ''effectiveness'' is largely determined by the targeted Pokémon's type. Moves can have regular effectiveness or be super effective, not very effective, or not effective at all. The effectiveness of types against one another has varied among generations, see [[Type chart (Generation I)|this page]] for its [[Generation I]] iteration and [[Type chart (Generation II-present)|this page]] for the current model.

===Super effective===
{{redirect|"Super effective"|the webcomic|Super Effective (webcomic)}}
When a move is '''super effective''', it inflicts double the damage it would normally do. For example, a move like {{m|Megahorn}} used against a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon will be super effective because {{type2|Bug}} moves are super effective against Psychic-types. This effect can stack up; for example, a Pokémon that is {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Ground}} and is hit by a {{type2|Water}} move like {{m|Surf}} will be damaged four times as much by the move as a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon would be, because both Rock and Ground Pokémon are weak to Water moves.

===Not very effective===
When a move is '''not very effective''', it deals half of the damage it would normally do. This works exactly like super effective moves, and can stack up. For example, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon will be damaged by a quarter of the amount by a {{type2|Normal}} move. Likewise, a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon hit by a {{type2|Fighting}} move will be damaged normally, as the super-effectiveness of Fighting against Normal is canceled out by the not-very-effectiveness of Fighting against Flying.

===Not effective===
When a move is '''not effective''', it does not damage the Pokémon at all and that Pokémon is "immune" to that type. This immunity includes status moves of that type. For example, the {{type2|Electric}} move {{m|Thunderbolt}} will have no affect on a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon such as {{p|Dugtrio}}. Likewise, using the move {{m|Thunder Wave}} will prove useless and yields a "It '''does''' not affect Dugtrio" (whereas a {{m|Confuse Ray}} that simply missed yields "It '''did''' not affect Dugtrio"). Certain types are immune to specific moves, such as {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon being immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}.

==Critical hit==
A move will sometimes inflict a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon. This will double the damage done after type effectiveness calculations occur, leading to the possibility of a doubly-super effective move that gets a critical hit to do eight times as much damage as normal. Pokémon with the {{a|Sniper}} ability will triple the damage done during a critical hit rather than double it. Regular moves have a 6.25% chance of scoring a critical hit, but some moves have increased critical hit rates.

The chance of causing a critical hit can be modified by using {{Cat|Moves with a high critical-hit ratio|moves}} or items that increase the critical hit level.

|}

{{DL|In-battle effect item|Scope Lens}}, {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}}, and {{a|Super Luck}} add 1 level each, the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Stick}} adds 2 levels (for {{p|Farfetch'd}} only), the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}} adds 2 levels (for {{p|Chansey}} only), and {{m|Focus Energy}} adds 2 levels to any Pokémon. There are other, very rare circumstances, that may result in the critical-hit ratio to go beyond level five. For example: A {{p|Drowzee}} holding a Scope Lens has the moveset Assist, Skill Swap/ Role Play, Mimic, and Psycho Cut. Assume that the opponent is an {{p|Absol}} with the Super Luck ability. The Drowzee uses {{m|Skill Swap}}/ {{m|Role Play}} and now has the Super Luck ability . Currently the Drowzee's critical-hit ratio is at level 3. The Drowzee uses Assist and calls the move {{m|Focus Energy}} from a party member's known moves. Since Focus Energy increases the critical-hit ratio by two levels, as stated above, the Drowzee now has a critical-hit ratio of 5. If the Drowzee uses a move with an increased critical-hit ratio, such as {{m|Psycho Cut}}, the Drowzee's has reached the rare sixth level of the critical-hit ratio. [However, this scenario is purely hypothetical- {{p|Drowzee}} cannot actually damage {{p|Absol}} with Psycho Cut because {{p|Absol}}, which is Dark-type, is immune to Psycho Cut, which is Psychic-type.]

When a move scores a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker. For example, an attacker who has used {{m|Swords Dance}} and then makes a critical hit will get the benefit of the increased Attack, while one affected by {{m|Charm}} will use its normal Attack score. Another example would be if a team had {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Reflect}} on it and the attacker scored a critical on the team with the certain wall; the defense added by the wall would then be ignored, and the attacker would do double damage. In [[Generation I]], critical hits always ignore stat modifiers, even if this is disadvantageous to the attacker.

==Same-type attack bonus==
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}}
A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type2|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon. Dual-typed Pokémon will receive this bonus for both of their types, and a Pokémon whose type can change in-battle will receive the bonus for whatever type they are when they make the move.

==Weather==
{{main|Weather conditions}}
{{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Fire}} moves' damage will be modified by rain and sunshine. If {{m|Rain Dance}} causes a downpour, Water-type moves will do 50% more damage and Fire-type moves will do 50% less damage. If {{m|Sunny Day}} causes harsh sunlight, Fire-type moves will do 50% more damage and Water-type moves will do 50% less damage.

==Abilities==
{{main|Ability}}
Abilities come in a wide variety, and have various effects on damage modification. These affects range from increasing and decreasing the power of moves of a specific [[type]], granting immunities, and even changing the power of moves affected by other damage modifiers. These abilities include:

*{{a|Blaze}}, {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Torrent}} and {{a|Swarm}} increase the power of {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves by 50% when the user's HP falls below 33%, respectively.
*{{a|Thick Fat}} decreases the damage dealt to the user by opponents' Fire-type and Ice-type moves by 50%. {{a|Heatproof}} decreases the damage dealt to the user by opponents' Fire-type moves by 50%.
*{{a|Levitate}} provides immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves, and {{a|Soundproof}} provides immunity to sound-based moves.
*{{a|Volt Absorb}} and {{a|Water Absorb}} grant immunity to {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Water}} moves respectively, healing the user's HP by 25% instead.
*{{a|Dry Skin}} works in part like Water Absorb, healing the user when hit with a {{type2|Water}} move, but it also heals the user by 6.25% each turn during [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]]. However, it also causes the Pokémon to receive additional damage from {{type2|Fire}} attacks and receive 6.25% (of its HP stat) damage during [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunshine]].
*{{a|Flash Fire}} negates the effect of opponents' Fire-type moves and instead increases the power of the ability's user's own Fire-type attacks. Similarly, {{a|Motor Drive}} negates the effect of opponents' Electric-type moves and instead causes the ability's user's Speed to increase. These abilities include [[status move]]s like {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
*{{a|Mold Breaker}} removes all ability-based immunities to the user's moves.
*{{a|Scrappy}} removes {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon's immunity to the {{type2|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} moves of the user.
*{{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Sand Stream}} and {{a|Snow Warning}} cause permanent rain, sunshine, sandstorm, and hail respectively.
*{{a|Adaptability}} increases the STAB multiplier for moves of the same type as the user from 1.5x to 2x.
*{{a|Hustle}} boosts the Atk stat of the user by 50%.
*{{a|Pure Power}} and {{a|Huge Power}} both double the user's Atk stat.
*{{a|Technician}} increases the power of the user's moves with base power 60 or less by 50%.
*{{a|Super Luck}} increases the user's critical hit ratio.
*{{a|Battle Armor}} and {{a|Shell Armor}} prevent critical hits being dealt to the user.
*{{a|Sniper}} increases the critical hit damage multiplier from 2x to 3x.
*{{a|Tinted Lens}} doubles the power of the user's moves that are not very effective.
*{{a|Solid Rock}} and {{a|Filter}} each reduce the power of super effective moves on the ability's user by one third.
*{{a|Wonder Guard}} reduces the power of the opponent's damaging attacks that are not super effective to zero.

==Items==
:''See also: [[Type-enhancing item]]''
Some [[held item]]s increase the power of an attack by a small percentage. Most of these items boost attacks [[type-enhancing item|only of a certain type]] by 20%. Some [[stat-enhancing item|items]] can also modify damage by boosting the attacker's offensive stats or the victim's defensive stats. Some [[Berry#Generation IV|berries]] also weaken an opponent's super effective move.

Other held items that modify damage include:
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Muscle Band}} boosts [[physical move]]s by 10%
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} boost [[special move]]s by 10%
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}} boosts super-effective attacks by 20%
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}} boosts the power of all attacks by 30% (at a cost of 10% HP per damaging move used)
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} boosts the power of moves used repeatedly

==Other==
A number of other variables can affect the amount of damage caused by an attack.

* If the attacker is {{status|Burn|burned}} and their ability is not {{a|Guts}}, their [[physical move|physical damage]] will be decreased by half.
* In a [[double battle]], moves that hit multiple targets do 75% of the damage they do in one-on-one battles.
* {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}} decrease opponents' physical and special attacks, respectively, by 50% in a one-on-one battle and 33% in a double battle.

===Randomization adjustment===
Every time a regular attack is executed, the actual damage caused is adjusted by a random multiplier between 0.85× and 1.00×. The probability of each percentage is nonuniform due to {{wp|integer division}} rounding, causing an approximately 6% chance for each point between 0.85 and 0.99, but only a 2.5% chance for the full damage.

'''Regice''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジアイス''' ''Regice'') is an {{type2|Ice}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}, one of the three [[legendary golems]] of [[Hoenn]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regice is an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon whose body is composed of {{wp|Antarctic}} ice that resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. Its legs appear to be simply cones and it balances its entire body on those two points. It seems to skate as it moves.
====Gender differences====
Regice is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit. It can survive if submerged in molten lava. Due to its extremely frigid body, anyone who approaches it can freeze. It is capable of surviving even extremely hot temperatures. Regice has the unexplainable ability to wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks like {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Regice resides in the [[Island Cave]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regice_LATMOM.png|thumb|225px|left|Regice's first appearance, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
[[File:Brandon_Regice.png‎|thumb|225px|right|Regice in the anime]]
Regice made an appearance with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}} in the 8th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as one of the [[Legendary golems|three guardians]] of The [[Tree of Beginning]]. It first tried to attack {{Ash}}, but was stopped by {{OBP|Lucario|movie 8}}. In the end, it, together with Regirock and Registeel, turned away and went back to protect the Tree of Beginning.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] {{pkmn|battle}}d and defeated [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', thus making it only the second legendary Pokémon to lose a battle in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series, after [[Noland's Articuno]], which had earlier lost to [[Ash's Charizard]].

It appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where Brandon used it in his battle with [[Paul]]. It battled [[Paul's Ursaring]] and easily took out his {{p|Lairon}}.

It appeared again in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' where it was used to battle the rampaging {{p|Regigigas}} at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Regigigas used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Regirock, Regice and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. All the rampaging Pokémon (except Regigigas) faded away, and when [[J]] used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas and Regirock, Regice and Registeel and eventually [[Pyramid King Brandon]] all jumped in front of J's firing range and were frozen. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Regice debuted near the end of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, when [[Glacia]] was attempting to open the [[Island Cave]]. Together, [[Steven Stone|Steven]] and {{Adventures|Sapphire}} created a team of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}} and {{P|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Regice. Regice used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from fighting. After the battle, it and the other two [[Regi]]s traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

Brandon used Regice in his battle with {{Adventures|Emerald}}. It beat {{Adventures|Crystal}}'s {{P|Cubone}}, which Emerald had borrowed to use in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}, but was subsequently defeated by [[Emerald's Sceptile]] and its {{m|Iron Tail}}.

==Trivia==
* Regice is one of only four pure {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, along with {{p|Snorunt}}, {{p|Glalie}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}, which also makes it the only pure Ice-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] (not including {{p|Arceus}} when holding the {{DL|Plate|Icicle Plate}}).
* Regice has the second highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} in the game, surpassed only by {{p|Shuckle}}.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and Regice are the only Pokémon with the {{m|Explosion|strongest move by base power}} as a starting move.
* Regice's Ruby Pokédex entry says it cannot be melted by fire, although it still has a type weakness to {{t|Fire}}. This trait is shared with {{p|Glalie}}.
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is an unobtainable Regice Doll programmed into the game. It may have been intended to be obtained with the [[e-Reader]].
* In the anime, Regice's name has been pronounced in two different ways, Regi-ice and Reg-ice.
===Origin===
Regice is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
====Name origin====
Regice's name is a combination of ''regis'', which is Latin for king, and ''ice''.

'''Regice''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジアイス''' ''Regice'') is an {{type2|Ice}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}, one of the three [[legendary golems]] of [[Hoenn]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regice is an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon whose body is composed of {{wp|Antarctic}} ice that resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. Its legs appear to be simply cones and it balances its entire body on those two points. It seems to skate as it moves.
====Gender differences====
Regice is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit. It can survive if submerged in molten lava. Due to its extremely frigid body, anyone who approaches it can freeze. It is capable of surviving even extremely hot temperatures. Regice has the unexplainable ability to wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks like {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Regice resides in the [[Island Cave]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regice_LATMOM.png|thumb|225px|left|Regice's first appearance, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
[[File:Brandon_Regice.png‎|thumb|225px|right|Regice in the anime]]
Regice made an appearance with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}} in the 8th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as one of the [[Legendary golems|three guardians]] of The [[Tree of Beginning]]. It first tried to attack {{Ash}}, but was stopped by {{OBP|Lucario|movie 8}}. In the end, it, together with Regirock and Registeel, turned away and went back to protect the Tree of Beginning.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] {{pkmn|battle}}d and defeated [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', thus making it only the second legendary Pokémon to lose a battle in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series, after [[Noland's Articuno]], which had earlier lost to [[Ash's Charizard]].

It appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where Brandon used it in his battle with [[Paul]]. It battled [[Paul's Ursaring]] and easily took out his {{p|Lairon}}.

It appeared again in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' where it was used to battle the rampaging {{p|Regigigas}} at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Regigigas used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Regirock, Regice and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. All the rampaging Pokémon (except Regigigas) faded away, and when [[J]] used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas and Regirock, Regice and Registeel and eventually [[Pyramid King Brandon]] all jumped in front of J's firing range and were frozen. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

'''Regice''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジアイス''' ''Regice'') is an {{type2|Ice}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}, one of the three [[legendary golems]] of [[Hoenn]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regice is an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon whose body is composed of {{wp|Antarctic}} ice that resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. Its legs appear to be simply cones and it balances its entire body on those two points. It seems to skate as it moves.
====Gender differences====
Regice is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit. It can survive if submerged in molten lava. Due to its extremely frigid body, anyone who approaches it can freeze. It is capable of surviving even extremely hot temperatures. Regice has the unexplainable ability to wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks like {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Regice resides in the [[Island Cave]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regice_LATMOM.png|thumb|225px|left|Regice's first appearance, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
[[File:Brandon_Regice.png‎|thumb|225px|right|Regice in the anime]]
Regice made an appearance with {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}} in the 8th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as one of the [[Legendary golems|three guardians]] of The [[Tree of Beginning]]. It first tried to attack {{Ash}}, but was stopped by {{OBP|Lucario|movie 8}}. In the end, it, together with Regirock and Registeel, turned away and went back to protect the Tree of Beginning.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] {{pkmn|battle}}d and defeated [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', thus making it only the second legendary Pokémon to lose a battle in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series, after [[Noland's Articuno]], which had earlier lost to [[Ash's Charizard]].

It appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where Brandon used it in his battle with [[Paul]]. It battled [[Paul's Ursaring]] and easily took out his {{p|Lairon}}.

It appeared again in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' where it was used to battle the rampaging {{p|Regigigas}} at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Regigigas used {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Regirock, Regice and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. All the rampaging Pokémon (except Regigigas) faded away, and when [[J]] used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas and Regirock, Regice and Registeel and eventually [[Pyramid King Brandon]] all jumped in front of J's firing range and were frozen. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG190|Regice|May's Pokédex|Regice, the Iceberg Pokémon. Formed in the Ice Age, its {{a|Clear Body|body}} stays at a temperature of -328 degrees and cannot be melted, even by fire.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Emerald}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Regice debuted near the end of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, when [[Glacia]] was attempting to open the [[Island Cave]]. Together, [[Steven Stone|Steven]] and {{Adventures|Sapphire}} created a team of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}} and {{P|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Regice. Regice used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from fighting. After the battle, it and the other two [[Regi]]s traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

Brandon used Regice in his battle with {{Adventures|Emerald}}. It beat {{Adventures|Crystal}}'s {{P|Cubone}}, which Emerald had borrowed to use in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}, but was subsequently defeated by [[Emerald's Sceptile]] and its {{m|Iron Tail}}.

'''Nosepass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノズパス''' ''Nosepass'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Probopass}} when [[level]]ed up in the strong magnetic fields of [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nosepass are Pokémon composed of hard, angular, bluish-colored rock. They closely resemble {{wp|Easter Island Heads}}, as their main body is in the shape of one. Their most prominent feature are their bright red, triangular noses, which are highly magnetic. They also have arms and legs, but don't appear to have any joints and have small, circular holes on the undersides. Nosepass has similar circular holes on where one might expect its ears to be, and its eyes, covered by dark, somewhat mask-like markings, seem perpetually closed in appearance.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Their noses can function as {{wp|electromagnet}}s that point north. They cannot face each other since they all have the same polarity. Nosepass’s magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.

===Behavior===
It usually stands in one spot with its nose pointing north. It's said to be unmoving, but it actually can shift slightly. When endangered, Nosepass may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Nosepass can be found in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon apparently feeds on prey that are attracted by its magnetism. This may attract {{p|Magnemite}} (due to their documented liking for electronics and magnetic sources) that may not be edible.

==In the anime==
[[File:Nosepass1.JPG|190px|right|thumb|Nosepass in the anime]]
[[Roxanne]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Rustboro City]], has a Nosepass which appeared in ''[[AG016|A Winner By a Nosepass]]''. It was used in a gym battle against [[Ash Ketchum]].

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', a young man named [[Hank]] used his Nosepass to track down {{Ash}}'s missing {{AP|Aipom}}.

In ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round the Mountain!]]'', Ash battled a boy named [[Alan]] and his Nosepass at [[Mt. Coronet]]. The Nosepass then evolved into {{p|Probopass}}.

A Nosepass also appeared in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

A group of Nosepass appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' together with its evolution, {{p|Probopass}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG016|Nosepass|Ash's Pokédex|Nosepass, the Compass Pokémon. Nosepass has a nose that functions as an electromagnet and determines location by moving its nose about.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon is a Nosepass. During her battle against {{Adventures|Sapphire}} she used Nosepass's {{A|Magnet Pull}} so that her {{p|Aron}} cannot be switched. She saves its Poké Ball inside a hollowed-out book.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|rubydex=Nosepass's magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these Pokémon meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another.
|sapphiredex=Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year.
|emeralddex=Its body emits a powerful magnetism. It feeds on prey that is pulled in by the force. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.
|firereddex=Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.
|leafgreendex=Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.
|diamonddex=Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
|pearldex=Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.

==Trivia==
* Nosepass is the only pure {{type2|Rock}} whose evolution is dual-type, as {{p|Probopass}} is {{2t|Rock|Steel}}.
* Nosepass's body was gray and its edges rounded during the [[Generation III]] games, but was changed to blue and more angular in [[Generation IV]].
* Nosepass was the only Pokémon that can be found through HM means other than {{m|Surf}}. This only applies to Generation III, and with the move {{m|Rock Smash}}. With the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, this honor is now given to {{p|Dunsparce}}. In the Post-National Dex Safari Extention of Pokemon Emerald, this also applied to {{p|Shuckle}}.
* Nosepass is one of the three Pokémon to evolve at a certain area; the other two are {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
** Out of the three, Magneton and Nosepass evolve at [[Mount Coronet]].
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon which undergoes evolution in a specific area that is catchable in that same area.
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon with {{a|Magnet Pull}} that is not itself a Steel-type, thus not affected by it.
** Its evolution Probopass is, however.
===Origin===
It is probably based on the {{wp|Moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}}.
====Name origin====
Nosepass's name may be a combination of ''nose'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nasgnet - Derived from ''nase'' (nose) and ''magnet.''
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tarinor - From ''narine'' (nostril), and ''nord'' (north).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코코파스 ''Cocopass''

'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Scapegoat'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Using 25% of its maximum [[HP]], the user creates a Substitute with 1 HP more than the amount of HP lost by the user. If the user's maximum HP is 3 or less, it will not lose any HP when the Substitute is made. A Substitute will have the same current type(s) and current stats of the Pokémon that created it.

Once created, all stat modifying attacks and side effects of attacks used by the opponent against the user will fail, though all current stat modifiers will remain in effect and any stat modifiers used by the user will also be applied to the Substitute. Until it breaks, a Substitute will absorb all damage done by the opponent (even if the damage done exceeds the remaining HP of the Substitute), but will not reduce the actual amount of damage that the opponent's attacks do. A one-hit KO move, if it hits, will always break a Substitute.

Substitute will not protect the user from self-inflicted [[status ailment]]s, but it will protect it from any status ailment generated by an opponent move and damage due to those status ailments.

Substitute will not alter the execution of {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Transform}}, or partial trapping moves, and it will not absorb crash damage, recoil damage, or recurrent damage. However, a Substitute will absorb self-inflicted confusion damage and prevent the user from {{status|Flinch|flinching}}.

If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it will not need to recharge. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will not faint, though its picture will no longer be visible until it switches out or uses Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a recoil move, it will not take any recoil damage. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a draining move, no HP will be restored to it. Note that in each of these cases, the Substitute has to be broken, not merely damaged, by the referenced attack.

If the user's current HP is less than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to make a Substitute. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, faint upon creating the Substitute.

In Stadium, Substitute will protect the user from {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, and all status ailments inflicted by the opponent. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint.

===Generation II and on===
The effects of Substitute are the same as the previous generation; however, if the user has a status ailment, they will still take any damage from that status ailment after they have used Substitute.

If the Substitute is broken by a target's {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, the user of that move will faint.

If the user of Substitute has 25% or less of its max HP (rounded down), or it only has a maximum of 1 HP, such as {{p|Shedinja}}, it will be unable to make a Substitute.

A Substitute can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed, and can absorb damage due to partial-trapping moves.

==Trivia==
[[Image:SubFly.jpg|thumb|right|A Substitute "Levitating"]]
*In most games, the Substitute and the Pokémon will switch places when the Pokémon is attacking. The only exception is in Pokémon Battle Revolution, where the battle animations play out as if the Substitute was the one performing the attack. It generally remains stationary, except for when using moves like Fly or Bounce.
*Substitutes are interpreted differently throughout all forms of Pokémon canon. In the games, Substitutes are seen as a plush-like decoy which simply replaces the Pokémon. In the anime, Substitutes are seen to be exact clones of the user. In the manga, Substitutes are like the anime representation, but more spectral and transparent, as shown by [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]''.
* {{p|Shedinja}} is capable of learning Substitute by both {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} [[move tutor]] as well as by [[TM90]] in [[Generation IV]] (as well as inheriting it from its pre-evolution). Despite this, it cannot use it, as its HP is too low to make a substitute.
*In the Generation I-II games the plush resembles the [[Pokémon]] {{p|Rhydon}}. In subsequent generations, the plush slightly resembles {{p|Tyranitar}}.

'''Blissey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハピナス''' ''Happinas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chansey}} via [[happiness]]. She is the final form of {{p|Happiny}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blissey has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. She has small fluffy ears and wing-like appendages at the end of her small arms, she seems she has lost her tail she had as a Chansey. She also has a pink pouch on her belly with an egg inside.

====Gender differences====
Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and her pre-evolved form, {{p|Chansey}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Softboiled}} naturally. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Smeargle}} can also {{m|Sketch}} the move.

===Behavior===
Blissey is an extremely compassionate [[Pokémon]] by nature. If it sees a sick Pokémon, it will attempt to nurse the injured Pokémon back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur allows it to sense feelings of sadness. Upon sensing any sadness, this Pokémon will race to the source of the sadness, no matter the distance, and share its egg of happiness that instantly makes a person smile.

A Blissey also made a brief appearance in ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

name=Blissey|
}}

==Trivia==
* Of all Pokémon, Blissey's HP [[base stats|base stat]] is the highest, at 255, giving it the ability to have the highest HP of any other Pokémon in the games (with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if it has 31 HP IVs).
** Blissey also has the highest base stat in one of the six stats, out of all Pokémon.
* Blissey has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Arceus}} and Blissey's pre-evolutions, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Chansey}}. That means a Blissey would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* Blissey, and its evolution family, Happiny and Chansey, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: [[Lucky Punch]], [[Lucky Egg]], [[Incense#Luck Incense|Luck Incense]] and the {{evostone|Oval Stone}}.
* Blissey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Togetic}}. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
* In [[Generation III]], Blissey learns a move earlier than its pre-evolved form, Chansey. Chansey learns {{m|Egg Bomb}} at level 35, whilst Blissey learns it at level 28.
===Origin===
It may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, it appears to have some physical similarities to [[Nurse Joy]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} in both color and hair.

====Name origin====
Blissey's name comes from the word ''bliss'', as in happiness. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''happiness'' and ''nurse'' or just be a corruption of ''happiness''. "Nasu" also means {{wp|eggplant}} in Japanese, which may be a pun on the egg theme of this evolutionary line.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Heiteira - From ''heiter'' (happy) and ''Ei'' (egg).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Leuphorie - From ''l'oeuf'' (the egg) and ''euphorie'' ({{wp|Euphoria (emotion)|euphoria}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 해피나스 ''Haepinaseu''
