Scythemantis: /* Paecilomyces cicadae etc. */ new section

==5X weakness==
Only Pokemon able to have a 5x weakness being fire? Dry skin ability? [[User:BulbasaurRepresent167|BulbasaurRepresent167]] ([[User talk:BulbasaurRepresent167|talk]]) 09:45, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
:Jynx with Dry Skin affected by Forest's Curse also has a 5x weakness, and plenty of other Pokemon can have bigger-than-5x weaknesses via Forest's Curse. It isn't notable. See [[Talk:Paras (Pokémon)#Weakness]]. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

== Paecilomyces cicadae etc. ==

The origin section of both Paras and Parasect discuss entomopathogenic fungi, but neither mention any of the real-world species that actually attack cicada nymphs. These include Paecilomyces cicadae, Cordyceps cicadae and Isaria cicadae, all of which are also harvested as medicinal mushrooms. Whereas a healthy cicada nymph would emerge from the ground and molt into an adult, nymphs affected by these die in the soil and a mushroom emerges instead.[[User:Scythemantis|Scythemantis]] ([[User talk:Scythemantis|talk]]) 16:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Scythemantis: /* Trubbish is a creature disguised as trash */

Games Master issue 236 revealed the following names: Trubbish for Yabukuron, Vanilluxe for Baibanira, Klink for Gear, Litwick for Hitomoshi, and it confirmed that Ishizumai is Dwebble, Waruvile is Krokorok, and it revealed a load more stuff. It also confirmed that Virizion, Terrakion, Cobalion and Kyurem keep their names, and the three genies are Tornadus, Thunderus, and Landorus.

== Stockpile and Swallow ==

I have an idea for why Trubbish can learn the aforementioned moves but not Spit Up. It's a trash bag, right? Trash bags really just take in and keep in, they don't put anything out except horrible odors, which is covered by its {{a|Stench}} ability. I'm keeping this up here for once Trivia opens back up, because I can't think of another good place to put this garbage. (get it?) [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 13:54, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

== Nugget? ==

A reference to scavenging trash, finding things people never expected to throw out? Dunno where it fits, so here for now :/ --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] ([[User talk:Aescula|talk]]) 09:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

You would put that sort of information in the "Behavior" section on the page. [[User:Rainbow Shifter|Rainbow Shifter]] ([[User talk:Rainbow Shifter|talk]]) 10:17, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
:No, I don't think you would. There's no evidence that it actively seeks Nuggets, so there's no reason to put it there. It might not really need to be noted anywhere, as it's something people can see and deduce themselves from looking at its possible hold items and it's a bit too speculative to be trivia. It is an interesting tidbit, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 11:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

== Trubbish is a creature disguised as trash ==

http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ In the trubbish part of the interview, they said they intended trubbish to be a creature disguised as trash. Would that be a biology, trivia, or origin fact? [[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 20:40, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
::The thing is, the significance of the term likely isn't the same in both English and Japanese. In English we assume it means the creature is not literally made of trash. In Japanese it can still mean Trubbish is trash that came to life, and is merely still pretending to be normal, inanimate garbage.[[User:Scythemantis|Scythemantis]] ([[User talk:Scythemantis|talk]]) 16:24, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

== Adding something in the Trivia. ==

There is a Bullet reading: "Nidoking and its female counterpart Nidoqueen share the same species name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as Drill Pokémon."
Then there is sub-bullet reading: "Coincidentally, all four are also Ground-types."

What I was asking is if: "and dual-types" can be added to the sub-bullet?- Thanks. [[User:BAC510]] 19:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== Baragon ==

Is there some kind of proof that Baragon is the origin of Nidoking that I haven't seen? If we are going by resemblance alone, then there are other Pokémon that resemble Kaiju. Blastiose resembles [[wp:Gamera|Gamera]], Aerodactyl resembles [[wp:Rodan|Rodan]] Tyranitar resembles [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]], and so forth. I really think that if Baragon must be mentioned it should be in the Trivia section if there is no proof that Nidoking is based directly off it. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 06:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it's safe to say that's almost absolutely impossible to find definitive evidence about the inspiration of any Pokémon. There isn't any proof that Ninetales is based on kitsune, or Bronzong on ''Of a Mirror and a Bell'' legend, or Golduck on kappa. It's just a matter of common sense. I personally think that Nidoking is uncannily, embarrassingly, painfully similar to Baragon, to the point that I think it would be appropriate to write it in the article. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 06:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:The difference there being that Pokémon like Ninetales and Bronzong are based on common Japanese legends and myths. Baragon is not a legend or a myth, it is a copyright character belonging to Toho Company Ltd. Secondly, the similarities are purely superficial, if that much. Baragon is a ''dinosaur/lizard'', Nidoking is a ''rodent'', Baragon can live underground, Nidoking can't live underground, Nidoking is part of a set of gender-counterparts, Nidoking secretes poison. My point is that any resemblance is more likely coincidental, and should not be used as the basis for the origin section. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 08:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
::::::It's impossible to be a coincidence, Nidoking is practically a point-for-point cartoon drawing of Baragon. There is no other major kaiju, and certainly no real animal, resembling a big burly reptile with a horn on its nose, spines down its back, jutting fangs AND those big, floppy rodent-like ears, which are wholly unique among reptilian kaiju, and both monsters are tunnelers. Adding a poison aspect and gender dimorphism is the bare minimum to make it a legally distinct creature, and does not do so visually.[[User:Scythemantis|Scythemantis]] ([[User talk:Scythemantis|talk]]) 16:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

::Well, copyright didn't stop them from creating [[Hamilton]], or basing Kadabra on Uri Geller (the entire Abra line is named directly after real people). They probably just wanted to create a Pokémon reminiscent of a highly recognizable kaiju from popular culture. Another example of low profile origin is Wobbuffet. I also think that Pokémon use a lot of syncretism. Golduck is based on a kappa, an amphibious human monster, but its ingame specie is ''Duck Pokémon'', Shiftry is based on a tengu, a bird-like monster, but it's a tree. They don't need to be exact copies of they original mythical creatures. So it isn't strange for a Baragon-like Pokémon line to have some rabbit features. And where is stated that Nidoking (or its preevolutions) is based on a rodent? I really can't find any direct reference from game or anime. Its similarity to rabbits, noted in the article, is as much referenced as its similiarity to Baragon. They are based only on its appearance (and to me Nidoking is way more dinosaurian than leporine). Also, Nidoking is in part Ground, so it wouldn't be so strange for him to be based on a monster that lives underground like Baragon. What to me look like evidence, for you is only a coincidence, but you are entitled to your opinion as much as I am and I don't want to seem too pedantic. I'm wondering what other Bulbapedians thinks about this. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::So a few things.
:::The origin sections, unless specifically stated by the games or something else, are nearly ''all'' speculation. That's why most say "may", "could be", or things like that.
:::''Basing'' something on another thing has no real meaning. You could take a Dragon Pokémon that we haven't already hunted down a possible origin for, and claim that it's related to nearly any myth related to a dragon, because the Pokémon is a dragon. That's also like when people make an OC for a fan fic or to draw. It's ''based'' off of the Pokémon series. So what?
:::And I personally don't see any relation between Nidoking and Baragon. Yes, they both have a tail, and a horn, and they have large ears, but so does a jackalope. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 16:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::But a tail, a horn and large ears are not all they have in common. They have each and every single visual element in common, and that particular combination is seen in no other animal or kaiju, then to top it off they're both associated with burrowing. It's a clear-cut homage.[[User:Scythemantis|Scythemantis]] ([[User talk:Scythemantis|talk]]) 16:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

::::Jackalope? Amazing idea! :-) So Vulpix should be based on a fox? Please, people, be serious. It has several tails and is red all over? It could be easily a storybook!--[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 17:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::Indeed. All of the origin sections are speculation, but the Nidoking page is currently the only one that claims a Pokémon to be based directly off of another ''specific character'' rather than a general concept, myth or legend. Ratatta is based on the general concept of a rat, or mouse, we don't say in its origin section that it based off of Mickey Mouse just because some users would say that they look alike. If during an interview someone at Game Freak says that they based Nidoking off of Baragon, then we can take that as a definitive origin, as long as that isn't the case, I believe it is too speculative to be listed as Nidoking's origin. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 17:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, Bulbapedia has a whole page dedicated popculture references, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_references_to_popular_culture_in_Pok%C3%A9mon List of references to popular culture in Pokémon] and sometimes it is even impossible to not mention copyrighted inspiration like on Tyranitar's page where we can read about ''kaiju genre'' what seems to be acceptable.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 13:02, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Scythemantis: /* Godzilla */ new section

== Bias ==

I edited this page because it appeared biased. Tyranitar are not evil Pokémon. As far as I know, the only truly evil Pokémon is {{p|Spiritomb}}. {{unsigned|Ettina}}

== 3D Shiny? ==
Kind of old but should it be noted that in both Pokemon Stadium games that Tyranitar's shiny status in them is pink? [[User:ShinyGlaceon|ShinyGlaceon]] 19:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

== Physiology Edit ==
I edited the physiology to change "roof and bottom of the mouth" to "upper and lower jaws" because it sounded rather awkward before.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantomjunkie]] 06:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:Tyranitar isn't a Dragon-type. Note that it actually says "Like some Dragon Pokémon"; i.e. that Tyranitar is being compared to Dragons. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Black and White Locations ==

I have Pokemon White version and I caught a Tyranitar at lvl 50 in Route 15, where all those hiker people are and you have to use strength on the boulders. It's hard to find though, it's rare. There are also wild Pupitars too, they're slightly rare.

Shouldn't it be mentioned more specifically that Tyranitar is also based off a {{wp|Tyrannosaurus}} like Godzilla was? Or is that a bit much?

== Ability Gen VI ==

In my version of Y I have a tyranitar which seems to have the wrong ability as it has Unnerve as its main ability despite this page saying its hidden ability should be unnerve and its main sand stream (which mine doesn't have) Is this a change in Gen VI and if so does the page need editing?

I apologise profusely! I haven't had any of the Gen V games so I skipped over the hidden abilities when they were first introduced. I thought the hidden ability was extra if obtained and the pokémon would have two. Sorry for any confusion guys :/ [[User:Cjmorgs|Cjmorgs]] ([[User talk:Cjmorgs|talk]]) 19:33, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Sp.Def Calculation ==

I thought I had figured out a awesome use for Assault Vest with Tyranitar, but it seems the guys over at smogon beat me to it.

Anyways, I know a Tyanitar with fully invested Sp.Def and a Sp.Def increasing nature gives it a Sp.Def of 328. The vest gives Tyranitar 50% more Sp.Def which would be 492. Even without the vest, its ability to summon a sandstorm, and then sandstorm's effect of increasing the Sp.Def of Rock type Pokémon by 50% by itself. With a combination of both, right out of the starting gate Tyranitar gets 100% more Sp.Def

The thing is, everywhere I look I see 738 as the magical number, but shouldn't it be 656? 328 + 100% (or 328 x 1.5) should = 656 the only way you can get 738 is if you take 328 x 1.5 which = 492, and then you timed 492 by 1.5 which would = 738.

I'm not the best at math, but which is it? 656 or 738? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 08:20, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
:Well, I'm a math major and it's 738 (328 × 1.5 × 1.5). It's very simple; AV multiplies it by 1.5 and then sandstorm multiplies it by 1.5. All stat boost combinations, such as Huge Power + Choice Band and Unburden + Agility, are calculated this way.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
::In other words, Yamitora, both boosts don't give 50% of the original. The second boost gives 50% of the already-boosted stat. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

== Seven Starting Moves ==

As far as I know, Pokemon can only learn 4 moves at a time. I don't own any of the games, so I cannot determine what ttar actually starts with. Anyone mind changing this? [[User:Smurfton|Smurfton]] ([[User talk:Smurfton|talk]]) 21:18, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:If a Pokémon has more than 4 starting moves, then you'll have to use a heart scale(or tiny mushroom in LG/FR) to learn that move. What it really means is that while the Pokémon CAN learn the move, it won't have the move without outside intervention on the trainers part. Does that help clear things up for you? ([[User:Arcalargo|Arcalargo]] ([[User talk:Arcalargo|talk]]) 12:56, 7 December 2014 (UTC))
::Yes.[[User:Smurfton|Smurfton]] ([[User talk:Smurfton|talk]]) 17:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

I know that Larvitar comes from larva, Pupitar comes from Pupa and Tyranitar comes from Tyrannosaurus, but what does the "tar" mean?

I feel that not only this page, but other pages should be edited to have learnsets on moves only learned through events. Tyranitar learns Seismic Toss from a past event, but I don't know how to create learnsets when editing.

Okay, I need to understand what's supposed to be going on here. Seeing that this kind of stuff was supposed to be removed, much like [[Talk:Volcarona_(Pokémon)#Ulgamoth_based_on_Mothra|the Mothra references]] for [[Volcarona]] and [[Talk:Hydreigon_(Pokémon)#Sazandora_based_on_King_Ghidorah|the Ghidorah references]] for [[Hydreigon]], should we even be keeping [[Tyranitar_(Pokémon)#Origin|the Godzilla/Anguirus mentions in Tyranitar's origins and name origins]]? Look, I can understand where some people get the idea that Tyranitar is a Godzilla reference or that it is somehow based off of Godzilla in their minds (though, honestly, I think it is more of a general reference to the {{wp|Kaiju}} genre as a whole rather than just Godzilla specifically; but I digress, as that isn't even the point here), but has there been any actual confirmation from Game Freak or any creditable source? I'm asking this for the sake of consistency, seeing that it has even been stated on [[Talk:Tyranitar_(Pokémon)#Origin_specificity.3F|this very talk page that this kind of stuff has to be removed]]. Is Tyranitar the exception to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hydreigon_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&oldid=2166580 this rule] or not? ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 18:18, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

== FireRed Pokédex Entry ==

The unique entry Tyranitar gets in FireRed is really interesting to me, since I have conflicting evidence of its existence. I've found a, sadly very blurry, video on youtube [Link: https://youtu.be/XPOAp8MPk10?t=335] that definitely seems to show Tyranitar's entry as being the one shown in the page, but when I fired up an emulator with a ROM of FireRed and cheated it so all Dex Entries were available the text was verbatim just the Gold Entry (which is interesting as all other Johto pokémon in FireRed have their Silver Entry) [I recorded this and posted it to youtube here: https://youtu.be/42uEl6ldGOs?t=391]. ALSO, Serebii.net states that Tyranitar's dex entry is the same between FireRed and LeafGreen, that being the Gold Entry like from the ROM I had used [Link: https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/248.shtml]. So, considering the potentially faulty evidence I have, I would really like to conclusively know, if, for whatever reason, Tyranitar changed Dex Entries between different versions of the game or if there's some other kind of explanation at hand. [[User:Nikkie2571|Nikkie2571]] ([[User talk:Nikkie2571|talk]]) 04:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

::Okay done some more digging you have a copy of Ver 1.0 of the game, you can tell this by checking Pupitar's entry, where it is listed as the ''Hard Pokémon'', this was a [https://glitchcity.info/wiki/List_of_revision_differences_in_the_core_Pok%C3%A9mon_games glitch] in that version that prevented Pokédex categories with two words displaying properly, this was fixed in V1.1 (or Rev A) to display correctly, and they apparently fixed Tyranitar's entry as well. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 14:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

== Godzilla ==

While I understand that the "origins" section of this site sometimes gets out of hand with far-reaching speculation, there are some Pokemon whose pop culture inspirations are so blatant, the design itself qualifies AS the "explicit statement." Tyranitar is a Godzilla reference head to toe. Nidoking is a Baragon reference as well.

It's different to suggest that Volcarona is a Mothra reference, because all they have in common is being giant monster moths - and there are a lot of those. Godzilla, however, has a very distinctive profile that Tyranitar follows along with multiple other specific homages in their design, naming convention and dex entries. Likewise for Nidoking/Baragon, or how Salamence's wings are literally those of Devilman.

Talk:Nidoking (Pokémon)

2021-02-22T11:01:46Z

Scythemantis:

Nidoking's Baragon basis is indisputable whether or not it has ever been overtly stated. Nothing looks like Nidoking other than Baragon. Nothing looks like Baragon other than Nidoking. Both of them are burrowing monsters and Pokemon is packed with kaiju references.

== Nidoking's Anime Dex Entry ==

Here's Nidoking's most Pokédex entry from the most recent dubbed episode for the page:

== Adding something in the Trivia. ==

There is a Bullet reading: "Nidoking and its female counterpart Nidoqueen share the same species name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as Drill Pokémon."
Then there is sub-bullet reading: "Coincidentally, all four are also Ground-types."

What I was asking is if: "and dual-types" can be added to the sub-bullet?- Thanks. [[User:BAC510]] 19:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== Baragon ==

Is there some kind of proof that Baragon is the origin of Nidoking that I haven't seen? If we are going by resemblance alone, then there are other Pokémon that resemble Kaiju. Blastiose resembles [[wp:Gamera|Gamera]], Aerodactyl resembles [[wp:Rodan|Rodan]] Tyranitar resembles [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]], and so forth. I really think that if Baragon must be mentioned it should be in the Trivia section if there is no proof that Nidoking is based directly off it. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 06:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it's safe to say that's almost absolutely impossible to find definitive evidence about the inspiration of any Pokémon. There isn't any proof that Ninetales is based on kitsune, or Bronzong on ''Of a Mirror and a Bell'' legend, or Golduck on kappa. It's just a matter of common sense. I personally think that Nidoking is uncannily, embarrassingly, painfully similar to Baragon, to the point that I think it would be appropriate to write it in the article. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 06:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:The difference there being that Pokémon like Ninetales and Bronzong are based on common Japanese legends and myths. Baragon is not a legend or a myth, it is a copyright character belonging to Toho Company Ltd. Secondly, the similarities are purely superficial, if that much. Baragon is a ''dinosaur/lizard'', Nidoking is a ''rodent'', Baragon can live underground, Nidoking can't live underground, Nidoking is part of a set of gender-counterparts, Nidoking secretes poison. My point is that any resemblance is more likely coincidental, and should not be used as the basis for the origin section. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 08:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::Well, copyright didn't stop them from creating [[Hamilton]], or basing Kadabra on Uri Geller (the entire Abra line is named directly after real people). They probably just wanted to create a Pokémon reminiscent of a highly recognizable kaiju from popular culture. Another example of low profile origin is Wobbuffet. I also think that Pokémon use a lot of syncretism. Golduck is based on a kappa, an amphibious human monster, but its ingame specie is ''Duck Pokémon'', Shiftry is based on a tengu, a bird-like monster, but it's a tree. They don't need to be exact copies of they original mythical creatures. So it isn't strange for a Baragon-like Pokémon line to have some rabbit features. And where is stated that Nidoking (or its preevolutions) is based on a rodent? I really can't find any direct reference from game or anime. Its similarity to rabbits, noted in the article, is as much referenced as its similiarity to Baragon. They are based only on its appearance (and to me Nidoking is way more dinosaurian than leporine). Also, Nidoking is in part Ground, so it wouldn't be so strange for him to be based on a monster that lives underground like Baragon. What to me look like evidence, for you is only a coincidence, but you are entitled to your opinion as much as I am and I don't want to seem too pedantic. I'm wondering what other Bulbapedians thinks about this. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::So a few things.
:::The origin sections, unless specifically stated by the games or something else, are nearly ''all'' speculation. That's why most say "may", "could be", or things like that.
:::''Basing'' something on another thing has no real meaning. You could take a Dragon Pokémon that we haven't already hunted down a possible origin for, and claim that it's related to nearly any myth related to a dragon, because the Pokémon is a dragon. That's also like when people make an OC for a fan fic or to draw. It's ''based'' off of the Pokémon series. So what?
:::And I personally don't see any relation between Nidoking and Baragon. Yes, they both have a tail, and a horn, and they have large ears, but so does a jackalope.

:::::Indeed. All of the origin sections are speculation, but the Nidoking page is currently the only one that claims a Pokémon to be based directly off of another ''specific character'' rather than a general concept, myth or legend. Ratatta is based on the general concept of a rat, or mouse, we don't say in its origin section that it based off of Mickey Mouse just because some users would say that they look alike. If during an interview someone at Game Freak says that they based Nidoking off of Baragon, then we can take that as a definitive origin, as long as that isn't the case, I believe it is too speculative to be listed as Nidoking's origin. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 17:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::::::Which is exactly why I was only mostly serious. All we really need for origins is the basics, unless we absolutely ''know'' what something is based off of. Like, Vulpix and Ninetales is easy.

'''Pheromosa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フェローチェ''' ''Ferōche'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

It is one of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and is known by the code name '''UB-02 Beauty''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ０２　Ｂｅａｕｔｙ|ユービーゼロ二　ビューティ}}''').

==Biology==
Pheromosa is an Ultra Beast mostly resembling an anthropomorphic, feminine cockroach. It has a thin build and is mostly white. It has a segmented body, having five segments dividing its torso. Pheromosa has a long and narrow neck, and a small semicircular face. It has narrow white eyes with a purple iris, and blue pupils. Pheromosa has long, thin legs suited for running and kicking, with golden pads at the joints. Its feet consist of two twig-like structures, rather resembling high-heeled shoes.

Pheromosa's lithe, elegant body is capable of sudden feats of acceleration, able to twitch its limbs at an estimated 120 mph (200 km/h) instantaneously, a speed previously unseen in the world. It also produces a sort of disarming pheromone which was described as "previously unknown to science" that causes those nearby to become awestruck by its presence. It displays a considerable reluctance towards touching anything, as if it interprets the Pokémon world as being unclean somehow.

==Trivia==
* Pheromosa has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Pheromosa may be based on an {{wp|American cockroach}} that has molted, which causes it to be white in color.

====Name origin====
Pheromosa may be a combination of ''pheromone'' and ''hermosa'' (Spanish for beautiful) or ''formosa'' (Italian for shapely; Portuguese for beautiful).

Ferōche may be a combination of ''pheromone'', ''feroce'' (Italian for fierce), and ''cockroach''.

== Garbodor in BW083 and BW084? ==

Can it be mentioned that a Garbodor is set to appear in BW083 and BW084? That is what it says on the anime episodes. --[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 22:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

== Pop culture origins ==

So I mentioned My Neighbor Totoro in Garbodor's "origin" but it was edited out as "Trivia."

Several pokemon are distinct pop-culture references, however. That actually is their origin, as much as real objects or animals. For instance, Nidoking is patterned after Baragon from the Godzilla films, Feraligatr and Tyranitar also draw from Godzilla himself, and Salamence is modeled a bit after Devilman.

Should it really be considered trivia-only when it's fundamental to a pokemon's design?

Should it really be considered irrelevant trivia when it's fundamental to a pokemon's design? The link between Garbodor and Totoro is even referenced in its first anime appearance.

Or is this simply discouraged for reasons of copyright infringement? I can't imagine that'd be a problem.

'''Garbodor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダストダス''' ''Dustdas'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Trubbish}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
Garbodor has the appearance of a pile of trash spilling out of a large, torn garbage bag. It has a round, lumpy body that is mostly tan with blue and pink lumps. Its head has the appearance of the tied end of a garbage bag that has been ripped open and trails down like a cape. It has two appendages that look like clumps of garbage coming from its head. Its large, round eyes have small pupils, and when it opens its mouth, its large, triangular teeth can be seen. Garbodor has two long arms made of garbage that are held together with piping, and fingers also made up of piping material. It has one finger on its left hand and three on the other. It also has flat, dumpy feet.

Garbodor is able to spray poisonous gas and filth from its fingertips, but only from its right hand. It also finishes off opponents by subduing them with its left arm and spewing an awful-smelling toxic gas from its mouth. Garbodor prefers to live in unsanitary places such as garbage dumps. Garbodor inhales garbage, which then becomes part of its body.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Garbodor is the only Pokémon that can have the {{a|Weak Armor}} Ability outside of the Dream World.
* Garbodor shares similar traits to {{p|Muk}} and {{p|Weezing}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Garbodor being land pollution.

====Origin====
Garbodor is based on a garbage bag that is bursting with garbage. Its visual design may also parody "My Neighbor Totoro" and reference the phrase "dust bunny," a term used in both the U.S. and Japan for clumps of lint. In Japan, the word "dust" is also used to refer to other forms of trash and refuse.

====Name origin====
Garbodor is a combination of ''garbage'' and ''odor''.

Dustdas may be a combination of dust and 出す ''dasu'' (to exert or produce). It may also involve the phrase "dust to dust," which is a part of, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," a metaphor for finality in death.

'''Trubbish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤブクロン''' ''Yabukuron'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Garbodor}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
Trubbish resembles a full, dark green garbage bag that with a knot at the top that acts like ears. Trubbish has oval-shaped eyes and large triangular teeth that resemble broken glass. Its arms that look like trash spilling out of small tears in the bag with pink and blue objects protruding out of them. Its feet are dark green and stubby.

This Pokémon was created when a mixture of domestic and industrial waste underwent a chemical reaction of some sort. Trubbish emits noxious, burp-like gases which, when inhaled, will render the victim bedridden for a week. As evidenced [[BW012|in the anime]], Trubbish's ear-like tufts stand straight up when startled, are lifted if happy, and lowered if it is feeling down. Furthermore, in the same episode, it is also explained that once Trubbish befriends a person, it will cease expelling foul odors. It prefers unsanitary places, such as garbage dumps.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Daniela Trubbish.png|thumb|right|250px|Trubbish in the anime]]
Trubbish appeared in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' where a bunch of {{tc|Preschooler|kindergartners}} befriended it. However their {{tc|Nursery Aide|kindergarten teacher}}, [[Daniela]], thought it would spread an awful stench through the school. In the end, Trubbish saved the kindergartners' lives, and was adopted by Daniela and the Kindergartners after finding out that Trubbish's stench fades when it's with people it trusts.

A group of Trubbish appeared in ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Trubbish appeared in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]'' in a fantasy.

==Trivia==
* Trubbish was leaked internationally in the {{so|Black and White|opening}} for ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]''.
* Trubbish shares similar traits to {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Trubbish being land pollution.

===Origin===
Physically, Trubbish is modeled after a plastic bag stuffed with garbage, its tied-off top somewhat resembling long, rabbit-like ears. This may draw from the fact that in both English and Japanese slang, a clump of lint and dirt can be called a "dust bunny." This is further evidenced by how the name of its evolved form is derived from "dust" as well.

====Name origin====
Trubbish is a combination of ''trash'' and ''rubbish''.

Yabukuron may be a combination of 破く ''yabuku'' (to tear) or 破ける ''yabukeru'' (to get torn) and 袋 ''fukuro'' (bag) or ぶくぶく ''bukubuku'' (loose-fitting/baggy).

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bergmite}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==

Avalugg is a large, heavy Ice-type Pokemon with a slightly symmetrical design, resembling to a large, four-legged iceberg. Its top half is flat, with three cracks, one before its stubby tail and two in between its four legs. These legs are cylindrical, and also sport purple cracks at its joints and in between its "toes", which each have a spike underneath, similar to cleats. Its underside has three spikes, which nearly touch the ground. Avalugg's head is similar to its body, a cracked wedge of ice with a flattened upper surface. Its mouth has a large underbite, which opens up to reveal a purple inside and a few small teeth. The head has two white diamond-shaped "ears." The underside of its head has three protrusions like its body, resembling an icy beard.

'''Paras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パラス ''' ''Paras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Parasect}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Paras Mushroom.png|thumb|left|200px|Paras removing its {{wp|tochukaso}}]]
Paras is an {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with an insectoid body|insectoid}} creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}, with the unique feature of having mushrooms known as {{wp|Caterpillar fungus|tochukaso}} growing from its back. They grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its parent's back. The tochukaso can be removed at any time, although researchers suggest that Paras only do so under extreme measures.

Though tochukaso are parasitic in nature, Paras manages to make use of the mushrooms by creating a semi-symbiotic relationship; the mushrooms draw their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow, and Paras is able to use the mushrooms spores along with its own pincers for self-defense.

Paras may have long life spans, because the tochukaso is known for having properties that are beneficial for longevity.

The mushrooms on Paras's back are often prized by collectors.

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

===Special abilities===
The mushrooms growing out of its back will release irritating spores that can [[Status ailment|paralyze, poison, or induce sleep]] in its foes.

===Behavior===
The mushrooms on its back have a very commanding influence over Paras and order it to extract juice from tree trunks. It is also very timid as shown in the anime when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Paras can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in damp forests with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is most commonly found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but occasionally can be found in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It is unknown if Paras eats regular food in the wild or if it gets all of its nutrients from the roots that it sucks, though most of the food is absorbed by the mushrooms on its back. However, they have been known to prey on {{p|Weedle}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cassandra Paras.png|thumb|250px|right|Paras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Paras is featured in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassandra]]. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needed it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Parasect}} so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research. It does so towards the end of the episode.

===Minor appearances===
Paras made its debut in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', in which a group of Paras can be briefly seen removing the mushrooms on their backs. [[Seymour]] explained that this behavior was due to someone stringing lights in the caves of Mt. Moon, and implied that this was not good for them.

A Paras also appeared in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It was one of the Pokémon in [[Melanie]]'s care. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

A Paras appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

Two differently patterned Paras appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

A [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|pink]] Paras appeared on [[Pinkan Island]] in ''[[EP088|In The Pink]]''.

Paras had a small cameo in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

A Paras was one of the Pokémon stolen by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]''.

A Paras appeared in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' where it was chased away by Misty after it scared her.

A Paras belonging to an unnamed competitor appeared in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'' competing in the {{type|Grass}} tournament.

A Paras was one of the inhabitants of an oasis just for Pokémon in ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]''.

Paras also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Paras's name was originally "Parasyte". The name was probably abandoned because it was also the official English name of an {{wp|Parasyte|extremely graphic Japanese horror comic}}.
* Paras is the only Pokémon with a total [[EV yield]] of 1 to evolve at a fixed [[level]] directly into a Pokémon with an EV yield of 3, {{p|Parasect}}. In [[Generation II]], the 1 EV yielding {{p|Slowpoke}}, who previously only evolved at Level 37 into the 2 EV yielding {{p|Slowbro}}, gained the ability to evolve directly into the 3 EV yielding {{p|Slowking}} when traded with a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}, and in [[Generation IV]] the 1 EV yielding {{p|Nosepass}} was given the 3 EV yielding direct evolution {{p|Probopass}} when gaining a level in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* In [[Generation I]], {{t|Poison}} attacks are super effective against {{t|Bug}}, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses or double weakness to Poison.
* Due to the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, Paras and {{p|Parasect}} are also the only Pokémon to have a 5× weakness (to {{t|Fire}}).
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Paras and {{p|Parasect|its evolution}}.
* Paras and its evolved form, {{p|Parasect}}, share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the Ability {{a|Effect Spore}} other than as a Hidden Ability.
* Paras can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shroomish}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], while Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak|Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Paras's design, like the ''{{wp|Entomophthora muscae}}'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. As for the insect itself, it bears a resemblance to a cicada nymph, more so than {{p|Nincada}}.

====Name origin====
Paras is a shortening of ''{{wp|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back.

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤミラミ''' ''Yamirami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} Pokémon. Due to this, it is the first Pokémon to have no weakness.

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

It is shown in "Ready, Willing and Sableye" that Sableye can know the move Lick

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sableye are very diminutive hominid-like creatures with dark purple bodies. Their bodies are adapted for cave life as they are flexible enough to fit into small crevices while being tough enough to survive cave-ins. Their most distinguishing features are their gemstone-like eyes, which allow them to see in very little light. They have gemstones on their chests which grow as a result of its crystal and mineral diet. They are able to feed on such hard foods because of their sharp razor teeth, which are designed to crunch up rocks.

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

===Special abilities===
Sableye, along with its fellow {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}-type Pokémon {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no natural weakness to a specific type unless moves like {{m|Odor Sleuth}} and {{m|Foresight}} are used on it, in which case {{type2|Fighting}} moves will affect it.

===Behavior===
There are old stories that say a Sableye will steal your soul if you look into its eyes. However, evidence suggests that these Pokémon are actually friendly, only playing their infamous tricks on travelers in order to get attention because they become lonely living in dark holes all by themselves.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Sableye live in caves and abandoned mines, where they can readily find mineral deposits to eat.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Sableye usually eat raw gems.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG029.png|210px|thumb|Sableye in the anime]]
Sableye first appeared in ''[[AG029|Ready, Willing, and Sableye]]''. The Darkness Pokémon was playing tricks on {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}.

[[Cassidy]]'s Sableye debuted in ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG029|Sableye|May's Pokédex|Sableye, the Darkness Pokémon. Sableye normally live within caves and eat rocks. They use their sharp claws to {{m|dig}} through the earth.}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Six Sableye acted as assistants to {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} and had a number of appearances over the course of the game. After the player defeats Dusknoir and the Sableye in the [[Hidden Land]], the Sableye all flee.

==Trivia==
*Sableye is one of the only two [[Pokémon]] created so far that are naturally weak to no [[type]], along with {{p|Spiritomb}}. There are only two ways a Sableye can get hit by a super-effective move: the first, by overcoming its {{type2|Fighting}} immunity through the use of {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the {{a|Scrappy}} ability; the second, in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], by getting attacked with a [[Shadow move]] after [[Purification|purifying]], as it will be weak to Shadow moves.
**Since Sableye is one of the two Pokémon that do not have a weakness, hackers love to hack Sableye and Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}. This hack is commonly referred to as [[Wondereye]].
*Sableye is one of four Pokémon that have an immunity to three different types, the other three being {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Drifblim}}, and {{p|Spiritomb}}.
*Sableye is known for having both [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|a ruby and a sapphire]] on its body. Its {{shiny2}} form appears to have an [[Pokémon Emerald Version|emerald]] on the chest. This is most likely a reference to the three games of the [[Generation III|generation]] it debuted in.
* Unlike most other breedable {{type2|Ghost}}s, Sableye is not in the {{egg|Indeterminate}} egg group. It shares this trait with {{p|Froslass}}, which is in the {{egg|Fairy}}/{{egg|Mineral}} egg group, and {{p|Shedinja}}, which is in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group.
*Sableye shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Murkrow}}. They are both known as Darkness Pokémon.
* Sableye can learn Lick in the anime, but not for the games. This is not known if it was an actual move in "Ready, Willing and Sableye" or not.

===Origin===
Sableye is a stylization of the [http://bogleech.com/pokemon/hopkins1.jpg Hopkinsville Goblin], a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (note Sableye's animation in 3-d). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

====Name origin====
Sableye's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Sable (heraldry)|sable}}'' and ''{{wp|eye}}''; it may also be a play on the word ''able-eyed''.

''Yamirami'' may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'', darkness, and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'', a {{wp|squint}} or 睨み ''nirami'', glare.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zobiris
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tenefix - From ''ténèbre'' (darkness), and ''fixer'' (stare).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 깜까미 ''Kkamkkami''

'''Swalot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルノーム''' ''Marunoom'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gulpin}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swalot is a tall, purple, blob-like Pokémon. It has a single row of black rhombuses running across what would be its mid-section. Swalot's hands have three fingers instead of two. Swalot has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers.
====Gender differences====
A female Swalot has shorter whiskers than a male.

====Special abilities====
Swalot's large, cavernous mouth can easily gulp down something as large as a car tire. Its {{m|Gastro Acid|stomach acid}} can dissolve virtually anything.

Swalot's pores secretes an incredibly toxic fluid.

===Behavior===
Swalot portrays behavior similar to {{p|Gulpin}}. It is known to eat in large quantities, most likely because its powerful stomach can handle anything.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Like Gulpin, Swalot live in grassy plains. However, Swalot are a bit harder to find.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Swalot, with its ability to digest anything, could theoretically eat anything. However, it seems carnvorous, swallowing prey whole after dousing it with poison from its pores.
[[Image:Swalot anime.jpg|right|thumb|[[Dominick]]'s Swalot]]

==In the anime==
Swalot first appeared in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''. The Poison Bag Pokémon belong to a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Anthony (coordinator)|Anthony]], who used it to compete in the [[Grand Festival]].

In ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', a trainer named [[Dominick]] used a Swalot and {{p|Tropius}} to battle [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Corphish managed to defeat Dominick's Swalot.

A Swalot that was painted to look like a {{p|Muk}} was shown at the "[[Pokémon Cosplay]] Convention" in ''[[DP033|All Dressed with Somewhere To Go]]''.

[[Paul]]'s brother, [[Reggie]], also owns a Swalot which appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Swalot's appearence may be based on a single, giant poison gland. It has been compared to a {{wp|blobfish}} by many fans, but the popular blobfish photograph is copyright 2003 (shortly after R/S/E was released) and shows a front view of a heavily damaged specimen. Healthy blobfish bear no resemblance to gulpin or swalot.
====Name origin====
Swalot's name is possibly a shortening of ''swallow a lot'', as in eating or drinking a large amount.

''Marunoom'' is based on 丸呑み ''marunomi'', swallowing whole and 飲み込む ''nomikomu'', to gulp down.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schlukwech - A combination of ''schlucken'' (to gulp) and ''Weck'' (roll).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Avaltout - A corruption of ''avale tout'' (swallow anything).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꿀꺽몬 ''Kkulkkeokmon''

'''Slowbro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドラン''' ''Yadoran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} starting at [[level]] 37. It is one of {{p|Slowpoke|Slowpoke's}} two final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slowbro are physically slightly different Slowpoke, with a {{p|Shellder}} latched to its tail on a symbiotic, almost parasitic relationship with the Slowbro. The extra weight on its tail turned the Slowpoke bipedal. As a result of carrying this burden, its special abilities were developed greatly. Through the symbiotic relationship, the latched Shellder grows in a spiral shell instead of a bivalve. If for any reason it loses its Shellder, it will result in the Slowbro returning to its former Slowpoke self.

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

===Special abilities===
Since it cannot fish anymore, it now has to catch prey. It is therefore, slightly faster than an ordinary Slowpoke, and is significantly more powerful. The most notable changes in Slowbro's movepool is the addition of physical fighting moves, such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

===Behavior===
Used to dozing off at shorelines and lakesides waiting for fish to bite the tip of its tail, the extra burden of a {{p|Shellder}} turned this Pokémon fisher into a hunter, against its own will.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Slowbro tend to live near ponds, lakes, and seashores.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to the Shellder on its tail preventing it from fishing, Slowbro instead grudgingly swims to catch prey instead.

==In the anime==

[[Image:EP066shot.jpg|thumb|right|A Slowpoke with a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Shellder}} on its tail that didn't evolve yet]]
===Major appearances===
[[Professor Westwood V]] had a Slowbro that evolved from a Slowpoke in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] used a Slowbro to help {{Ash}} get his {{AP|Charizard}} under control in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

A Slowpoke evolved into Slowbro in ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]''.

Several Slowpoke evolve to Slowbro against their will in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.
 
===Minor appearances===
A Slowpoke that {{Ash}}'s missing Pokémon asked for help evolved at the end of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

A Slowbro has appeared in ''[[AG179|May, We Hardly Drew'd Ya!]]'', under the ownership of [[Solidad]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP244|Slowbro|Ash's Pokédex|Slowbro, the Hermit Crab Pokémon. Slowbro are able to use powerful {{t|Psychic}} [[Move|attacks]] but generally prefers to avoid conflict.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Slowbro as part of her team in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. With the {{p|Shellder}} clamped onto its tail, Lorelei explains that her Slowbro has sharpened senses and is capable of looking in all directions, thanks to the extra pair of eyes, allowing it to discover {{adv|Blue}}'s ploy using {{p|Horsea}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers the evolution, mentioned in most of its Pokédex entries, Slowbro's evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the games, unlike how the evolution of {{p|Mantyke}} requires a {{p|Remoraid}}.
*Slowbro's Pokédex entries imply that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to its Slowpoke form. It is never mentioned what happens to the Shellder afterwards.
** This is the only mentioning of a Pokémon possibly devolving anywhere in the Pokémon games.
*Many Pokémon are noted to evolve by two or more Pokémon combining, such as {{p|Metang}} being formed by two {{p|Beldum}}. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} does not show this and simply spawns the second Pokémon out of nowhere: an example is [[Morrison's Beldum]], which simply evolved into Metang without the need of joining to another Beldum. The evolution of Slowpoke into Slowbro is the only time that evolution by two Pokémon physically merging is shown.
* Interestingly, in Slowbro's Generation III backsprite and its Generation II sprite, the Shellder doesn't have spots, even though in the Generation III's regular sprite and the Generation II's back sprite, and all other games so far, it does have spots.
===Origin===
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be a reference to the mythical {{wp|sazae-oni}}, a magical sea demon of Japanese folklore distinguished by its spiny "sazae" or "turban shaped" snail shell.
====Name origin====
Slowbro's name is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'', short for ''brother''. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}, or to the fact that it is somewhat based on a '''hermit''' crab, as seen on its Pokédex species.

''Yadoran'' may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the ''yado'' comes from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}, or 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or solid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lahmus - From ''lahm'' (slow) and ''Muschel'' (shell or clam).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Flagadoss - From ''flagada'' (soft, weak) and ''molosse'' (big dog).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야도란 ''Yadoran''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大呆獸 - Literally "big slow-witted creature" (as opposed to Slowpoke being little slow-witted creature).

Talk:Gulpin (Pokémon)

2010-01-05T10:42:51Z

Scythemantis: /* Intro */

-I took out the references to blobfish as the possible basis. Sorry guys, but the popular photo of a blobfish was never taken until after r/s/e came out, and said photo depicts a very bizarrely damaged corpse. A natural, living blobfish looks absolutely nothing like Gulpin or Swalot. It looks like a quite normal fish, in fact.

Heh, I've just noticed that Gulpin is the only pure Poison-type that isn't purple-coloured. Not notable enough to be on the page, but still an interesting tidbit of info. --[[User:Someone Else|Someone Else]] 13:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hang on a second. The article now links to the list of Pokémon by colour. When I typed my above comment, I wasn't referring to Pokédex-recognised colour, I was referring to its general overall look. Nidorina is considered blue and Seviper is considered black in the Pokédex, so the info on the page is currently incorrect. --[[User:Someone Else|Someone Else]] 02:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Gulpin appears in SSBB. It swallows characters and holds them in its mouth for a few seconds, damaging them. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Gulpin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴクリン''' ''Gokulin'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gulpin is a round, green, blob-like Pokémon. It has a black parallelogram on its back and a yellow feather on its head. Gulpin's face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are always closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips.
====Gender differences====
A female Gulpin has a shorter feather than a male.

====Special abilities====
Gulpin can {{m|Swallow}} anything its own size due to the fact that Gulpin is practically all stomach. Gulpin's stomach fluids have enough {{m|acid}}ity to melt scrap iron. Some of Gulpin's status move options include {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Amnesia}}, {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Snatch}}. Gulpin is also capable of a small handful of elemental attacks. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Pain Split}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}}.

===Behavior===
Gulpin is known to eat in large quantities, most likely because its powerful stomach can handle anything.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

Gulpin tend to live in grassy plains. However, they sometimes migrate into cities and eat practically anything in sight.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Gulpin aren't what one would call "picky eaters". They will eat ''anything'' they can get into their mouths.

==In the anime==
[[Image:GulpinitDown.jpg|right|thumb|[[Ash's Treecko]] with a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] Gulpin.]]
Gulpin only appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]''. A bunch were eating all the food in the town {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were in.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG065|Gulpin|Ash's Pokédex|Gulpin, the Stomach Pokémon. Gulpin is able to {{m|swallow}} items of its own size whole, as its stomach compresses most of its body. Its unique {{m|Gastro Acid|stomach acid}} allows it to digest almost anything.}}

{{main|Gulpin (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==

* Gulpin is the only pure {{type2|Poison}} which predominant color is not [[List of Pokémon by color#Blue|blue]] or [[List of Pokémon by color#Purple|purple]]. Its {{shiny2}} form, however, ''is'' blue.
===Origin===
Gulpin's appearence may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid.
====Name origin====
Gulpin's name is a shortening of ''gulping'', swallowing. Its Japanese name probably includes ごっくん ''gokkun'', the sound of gulping or swallowing.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schluppuck
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gloupti - From the onomatopoeia ''gloup'' (a swallowing sound), and ''petit'' (small).

Gorebyss is based quite clearly on the long-nosed chimera: http://www.bogleech.com/pokemon/pkmn-chimaera.jpg
This is a well-known fish in Japan, and an inhabitant of the Deep Sea Abyss like Huntail (gulper eel). I'm amazed the name origin doesn't say anything about the abyss, either. Byss? Seriously? That's far too obscure even for Pokemon. Huntail and Gorebyss are both based on ABYSS dwelling fish.

'''Nidoking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドキング''' ''Nidoking'') is a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Much larger than their previous evolutions, Nidoking now have the ability to stand on their hind legs. The spines growing down their back have become extremely large, as well. They have large tails, and are muscled all over.
====Gender differences====
Nidoking is the male of the species. For the female equivalent, see {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
====Special abilities====
Nidoking have strong physical attacks, and with their strong tails and ability to poison the foe on contact, have excellent potential when owned by a trainer. They can also cause large tremors by slamming the ground.

===Behavior===
Nidoking are angered easily and can be very violent when provoked. They can use their powerful tail to thrash and constrict the bones of their prey. Nidoking will often go on rampages for little or no apparent reason.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Nidoking tend to live in grasslands, rough terrain and forests. Despite their ability to live in various habitats, Nidoking are rare Pokémon, especially in the wild.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gary's Nidoking.JPG|right|thumb|[[Gary|Gary's]] Nidoking.]]
[[Gary Oak]] has a Nidoking that he may or may not have obtained as a Nidoran♂ or Nidorino.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are attacked by a [[Pinkan Island|pink]] Nidoking in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''.

A Nidoking appeared under the ownership of [[Oscar and Andi|Oscar]] in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. His girlfriend, Andi, had a Nidoqueen.

A Nidoking appears in the Legend of Thunder opening, [[A New Oath]], as Silver's Pokémon.

A Nidoking was among the Pokémon used to attack {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Solana]] in [[DP072]]

==In the manga==
{{Special|Red}} caught several rampaging Nidoking in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in [[Pokémon Special]]. [[Giovanni]] also has a Nidoking.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], Giovanni losing his Nidoking when he was young was what caused him to become bitter and turn to crime.

==Trivia==
* The glitch Pokémon [[LM4]] will evolve into a Nidoking at level 18; first it evolves into Clefairy, and then the Clefairy immediately evolves into Nidoking.
*Nidoking and its female counterpart {{p|Nidoqueen}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
===Origin===
Nidoking bears a strong resemblance to the Toho studios movie monster, "Baragon," which has appeared in several of the Godzilla films. Baragon shares Nidoking's reptilian body, large rodent-like ears, back spines, and the single horn on its nose. Baragon is also a burrowing monster, paralleled by Nidoking's typing.

====Name origin====
Nidoking's name may be based on the word ''needle''. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The second part of its name is simply ''[[wp:king|king]]'', referring to its male gender.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidoking
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidoking
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드킹 ''Nideuking''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 尼多王 (Ni Duo Wang): A portmanteau of 尼多, the common prefix of the names of this Pokémon evolutionary line, and 王, meaning king.
