A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. It allows Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

During battle, the player can use their [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] to Mega Evolve a Pokémon if it is holding the correct Mega Stone before it attacks. Mega Stones only affect Pokémon during battles, and Pokémon will revert back to their basic form once the battle has ended. All Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolution have an equivalent Mega Stone.

Mega Stones cannot be transferred to or from the correct holder: {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} do not take the Mega Stone, {{m|Knock Off}} does not remove the Mega Stone, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} fail, {{m|Fling}} and {{m|Bestow}} fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} does not activate. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also cannot prevent the use of Mega Stones to Mega Evolve Pokémon. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Mega Stone can be used per battle.

All Mega Stones not directly given or sold to the player can only be found between 8 and 9 p.m. after [[Professor Sycamore]] has upgraded the player's Mega Ring to detect them. These Mega Stones do not appear as item balls in the overworld; rather, they are "hidden" items denoted by sparkles around their locations.

The stone for {{p|Blaziken}}, the Blazikenite, cannot be found through normal gameplay within X and Y. However, it can be obtained via special distributions and trading.

All Mega Stones are named after the Pokémon that they Mega Evolve, using the Pokémon's full name or part of it, and the sufix ''-ite'', or one of the variations ''-nite'' and ''-inite''. In the cases of Pokémon two Mega Evolutions, the stones are be labeled with ''X'' or ''Y'', as are the corresponding Mega Evolutions, depending on the game in which the stone is available.

==In the anime==
[[File:Siebold Blastoise.png|thumb|[[Siebold]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} wearing its Blastoisinite]]
===In the main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use to hold their [[Key Stone]]s. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state.

Mega Stones were first mentioned in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', where [[Professor Sycamore]] told {{Ash}} that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their first physical appearance in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. The seen Mega Stones were [[Alain]]'s Charizardite X, [[Astrid]]'s Absolite, [[Remo]]'s Garchompite, [[Siebold]]'s Blastoisinite, and an unknown orange Mega Stone found by Alain from ancient ruins. In addition, a Lucarionite was seen in a painting shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback, featuring the first ever Mega Evolution.

[[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}'s Gardevoirite appeared in [[XY028]]. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

A Lucarionite made an appearance in [[XY031]], where it was found by [[Korrina]] in a cave near [[Geosenge Town]]. After battling a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterwards revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, [[Gurkinn]]—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her {{p|Lucario}}. The "raw" Lucarionite was later set in a bracelet by [[Makita]], allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone.

Another Lucarionite appeared in [[XY032]] under the ownership of Gurkinn. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in a bracelet on its left wrist.

===In Pokémon Origins===
In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, saying that he would find out soon enough. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered Red's {{p|Charizard}}'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|X}}'s [[Garu and Kogaru]]'s owns a Kangaskhanite allowing Kogaru to Mega Evolve into a Mega Kangaskhan.

Just like in the games [[Korrina]]'s Lucario owns a Lucarionite to Mega Evolve into a Mega Lucario.

[[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Heracross}} wears it Heracronite around its head.

Diantha's Gardevoir's Gardevoirite appeared in the {{chap|X & Y}} it was shown wearing its Mega Stone around its head.

==Psyshock==
Psyshock and Psycho Break are not affected, right? I know it says physical moves, but those are calculated weirdly, so I wonder if a note of it should be made if they aren't affected. I think it definitely deserves a mention, at least on their pages, if they are. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 02:56, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

==Moves with fixed damage==
Does Fur Coat affect moves like Seismic Toss, Super Fang, Bide, OHKO moves, and others that always deal a certain amount of damage?--[[User:ShadowLugiaEx|ShadowLugiaEx]] ([[User talk:ShadowLugiaEx|talk]]) 23:01, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

'''Bullet Punch''' (Japanese: '''バレットパンチ''' ''Bullet Punch'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Steel}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Bullet Punch does damage, and is an increased [[priority]] move. If the target does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Bullet Punch will go first regardless of the user's or target's speed. If the target also uses a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same round that the user uses Bullet Punch, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to {{Status|sleep}} or {{status|freeze|frozen}} during the round that Bullet Punch is (or attempts to be) used, Bullet Punch's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

'''Aura Sphere''' (Japanese: '''はどうだん''' ''Wave Bomb'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Aura Sphere inflicts damage and is unaffected by modifications to the {{stat|accuracy}} stat and {{stat|evasion}} stat. It will not hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

===Generation V===
Aura Sphere can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

===Generation VI===
Aura Sphere's base power is reduced to 80. Additionally, its power is boosted by 50% if the user has {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to it.

===Pokémon Rumble Blast===
The user creates a blue ball that homes in on the nearest Pokémon.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Aura Sphere is Lucario's standard Special move. Like most of its moves, Aura Sphere is more powerful if Lucario has taken more damage.

If the opponent runs into Lucario while it is charging the sphere, the opponent also takes damage.

These are moves by the method they are used. The method a move is used impacts how the move interacts with certain, [[type]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], [[item]]s, [[move]]s or targetings.

==Reason==
Why do we have this category? I understand the other moves by usage, since something interacts with them, but nothing cares about tails, to my knowledge. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 06:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
:Doesn't make sense at all. If this is a thing, we should make a "light moves" category with Solar Beam, Flash Cannon, Mirror Shot, Dazzling Gleam and Luster Purge, a "wave moves" category for Heat Wave, Sludge Wave, Psywave, Vacuum Wave and Surf, a "cutting moves" category with Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Slash, Cut, Aerial Ace, Razor Leaf, Razor Shell, Leaf Tornado, X-Scissor, Cross Poison, Leaf Blade, Air Slash, Air Cutter, Sacred Sword, Secret Sword, Fury Cutter, Scratch, Fury Swipes, False Swipe, all of the "Claw" moves and Razor Wind, and also a "whip moves" category with Power Whip, Vine Whip, Slam, Tail Whip and Tail Slap. Speaking of the latter two, why aren't they in the category? [[User:ShadowLugiaEx|ShadowLugiaEx]] ([[User talk:ShadowLugiaEx|talk]]) 01:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

== Biting move category. ==

Seeing this is like [[Iron Fist]] and {{Cat|Punching moves}}, we should probably make a "Biting moves" category. But I'm guessing that would be more likely to happen after the release of {{v|X and Y}}, so I might be jumping the gun a bit because of [[Crunch]] being the only confirmed one so far. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 18:24, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

:It'd be nice, if the [[Template:Movelist|template]] allowed for the inclusion of [[Power]]/[[Accuracy]]/[[Power points|PP]] as well. '''[[User:Det|Det]][[User talk:Det|talk]]''' 15:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

::I wonder, if it'd be okay to change these to [[Template:Learnlist/prevo5|Learnlist/prevo5]] instead of [[Template:Movelist|Movelist]]. '''[[User:Det|Det]][[User talk:Det|talk]]''' 15:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Bug Bite ==

Bug Bite is listed in the category for Biting Moves, but it isn't shown on this page. Does Strong Jaw recognize is as a biting move or not? [[User:ShadowLugiaEx|ShadowLugiaEx]] ([[User talk:ShadowLugiaEx|talk]]) 19:47, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
:Bug Bite and Hyper Fang are both hidden because Tyrant and Tyrantrum can't learn those moves, meaning someone will have to swap the Ability onto Pokémon that can. It seems that {{u|MisterE13}} did so for Bug Bite and put it in the category when he made it but forgot to put it over here (or didn't want to). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
::Well, it should be added. Sheer force mentions moves none of the users can use, but are still affected. And what of super fang, etc? [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 15:39, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
:::I don't know if there actually is a way of confirming Super Fang, since it does a fixed amount of damage, though it could be something similar to Heal Pulse with Mega Launcher (75% of the HP in one bite? Sounds overpowered, but ok). [[User:ShadowLugiaEx|ShadowLugiaEx]] ([[User talk:ShadowLugiaEx|talk]]) 01:12, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Mega Evolution

2014-04-08T00:30:39Z

ShadowLugiaEx:

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|メガシンカ|Mega Shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a new transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, found only in the [[Kalos]] region. Mega Evolutions are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.

[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}.

==Mega Evolving==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, the Pokémon must be holding the appropriate [[Mega Stone]] and its Trainer must have a [[Mega Ring|Key Stone]]. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that even with the Mega Stone and the respective item to resonate with the stone, Mega Evolution cannot be achieved if there is not a strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon.

Once per battle, only a single Pokémon for each Trainer may Mega Evolve. Switching the Mega Evolved Pokémon out will not dissolve a Mega Evolution. A Mega Evolved Pokémon can only revert back to its original state upon [[fainting]] or the conclusion of the battle. If a Mega Evolved Pokémon faints, but is later revived, that Pokémon cannot obtain a Mega Evolved state again for the remaining duration of the battle.

Mega Stones cannot be taken via {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. Abilities such as {{a|Magician}} and {{a|Pickpocket}} will fail to snatch the Mega Stone from its holder. If used by the holder, moves such as {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will always fail. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also have no effect, and will not prevent a Pokémon from using its Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve while shifting position in a Triple Battle, or during the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. [[Status condition]]s such as paralysis and sleep have no effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve.
{{left clear}}
==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon except for Mega Alakazam has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form. Mega Alakazam only has a base stat total 90 points higher than its total as Alakazam{{tt|*|but if compared to Alakazam's base stats prior to Generation VI, the difference for Mega Alakazam would also equal 100}}.

Since movement order is determined before any moves are used (except changes due to {{m|Quash}} and {{m|After You}}), the Pokémon's new Speed or Ability will not affect movement order on the turn during which it Mega Evolves.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]
===In the main series===
Several Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} was shown being capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y form, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the games, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]].

Another Mega Evolution was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. The Mega Blaziken and its Trainer appeared again in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', helping Ash and {{ashfr}} to destroy one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]].

A couple of Mega Evolutions, including a Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' while [[Professor Sycamore]] told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.

In [[SS029]], a protagonist named {{kal|Alan}} was featured traveling across the Kalos region with his Mega {{p|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alan battled [[Ayaka]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Louie]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alan to lose the battle.

All known Mega Evolutions (save the unreleased Mega {{p|Latios}} and Mega {{p|Latias}}) were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned [[side story episode|special episode]].

[[Diantha]]'s Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} and a Mega {{p|Lucario}} are set to appear in future episodes. Multiple Mega Evolutions are also set to appear in [[M17|the seventeenth movie]].

[[File:Red Mega Charizard X PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in Pokémon Origins]]
===In Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s Charizard was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}} and {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mega Evolution was first presented in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga in the {{chap|X & Y}}. When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Kogaru, to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.

When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
{{right clear}}

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn.

==Trivia==
* Every [[type]] has at least one Mega Evolution: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with seven), while {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Ice}} have the fewest (with one each).
* No Pokémon from Generations {{gen|V}} or {{gen|VI}} are capable of Mega Evolution.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780 each}}, Mega Mewtwo X and Y have the highest base stat totals out of any Pokémon.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y also has the highest Special Attack base stat of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest Attack base stat of all Pokémon at 190, as well as the highest base stat raise of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.

[[Talk:Legendary Pokémon/Archive1|Archive #1]]

== WTF? ==

Giratina controls dimensions? That's stupid... can somebody remove that? Time and Space (depth, lengh and width) are the freaking dimensions everyone! So Giratina has more power than both Dialga and Palkia? I think not. Remember that Giratina lives in the Distortion World... a place that disobeys the laws of Time and Space. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 22:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

There are 2 types of dimensions, matematical, which you were talking about, and spacial, which would be under Giratina's control. If you don't belive me, look up "Plane (metaphysics)" on Wikipedia. The dimensions that Giratina controls are '''alternate planes of exictence''', also called '''dimensions'''!- ''unsigned comment from {{u|GuyNamedSean}} ([[User talk:GuyNamedSean|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GuyNamedSean|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:It seems that Giratina can control gravity, or atleast that is how I enterpreted the explanation of its form shift. It also makes some sense because gravity could be considered a third factor in time-space [[User:Enigmaberry|Enigmaberry]] 02:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

:I agree with hfc2X, this needs to be changed. It was never officially stated anywhere that Giratina controls dimensions or anything at all, really.

:Not to sound like a broken record here, but I've just gotten through the Distortion World on my second run-through and Cyrus doesn't make that statement anywhere.

== Trivia: Legendary Pokémon Themes ==

It should be noted that in the upcoming games, HeartGold and SoulSilver, that Lugia and Ho-Oh now both have their own, distinct themes in the upcoming games. It was confirmed on the "never before seen footage" on Pokémon Sunday where they revealed meeting Lugia and Ho-Oh in the games. :) From the small clips you can hear, Ho-Oh's theme seems to be very Japanese-percussion based (taiko drums) and Lugia's is very orchestral-dramatics based. {{unsigned|Gimmetokyo}}

I wonder if it's also pertinent to mention that the legendary beasts in HG/SS technically have their own unique themes, as well - or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they have their own unique remixes of a theme.

==Slowpoke/king==
This may meet with some dissent, but would Slowpoke or Slowking qualify under "Other Pokemon of myth"? Slowpoke is pretty dominantly featured in GSC and HG/SS, as well as the corresponding anime episode, as the savior of Azalea in time of need. He's practically worshiped there. I don't believe this story was ever explicitly stated as fact, but rather as a cultural legend of sorts. That means Slowpoke is featured in a legend, and so possibly counts as a low-tier legendary like Arcanine of Togepi.

Slowking may same to fit the position more, but the extent of its qualification are the second movie. I don't know if human speech, a knowledge of ancient prophecies, and a role in that prophecy coming true/being resolved counts as a legendary, but should also be considered.

So, what are the opinions on counting on or both as minor legendaries? I'll agree to any consensus, but just thought it would be worth bringing up since Slowpoke does garner some "It's a legendary" statements from time to time. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 00:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

The non-uniques are:
*Mew ([[Mewtwo Strikes Back]] & [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]])
*Lugia ([[The Power of One]], [[Silver (Johto)|Silver]], and possibly Movie 13)
*Regirock, Regice, Registeel ([[Brandon's Regis]] & [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]])
*Regigigas ([[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]] & [[DP129]])
*Lati@s ([[Pokémon Heroes]])
*Deoxys ([[Destiny Deoxys]])
*Manaphy ([[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]])
*Phione ([[DP113]])
*Darkrai ([[The Rise of Darkrai]] and [[DP104]])
*Shaymin ([[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]])

Uknown, yet debateable:
*Cresselia - If there's more than one Darkrai, why not Cresselia?
*Heatran - Only one has appeared so far, and even then, it was in the distant past.
*Jirachi - It came from space. We don't know if more are out there like Deoxys and Clefairy.
*The legendary birds - Unlike the beasts, we don't know if there were only 3 specifically created, although it is probable that they're unique.
*The legendary beasts- Although we know that Ho-Oh created 3 from the ashes of Pokémon, Suicune has appeared multiple times and sometimes in different regions. It has appeared in 3 episodes of the anime and one movie. The Entei in [[Spell of the Unown]] was only an illusion created by the Unown.

Unique:
*Mewtwo - It isn't actually a legendary in the anime, just a bad clone of one.
*Ho-Oh - Even though its counterpart, Lugia, is known to be able to have offspring, Ho-Oh seems to be a single Pokémon that travels around.
*Celebi - Although many appeared in [[Pokémon 4Ever]], they were the same Celebi, just from different time periods. The past and future came together in the present.
*Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza - Kyogre and Groudon have appeared in the Team Magma and Team Aqua arc, and Kyogre has appeared in a movie or two. Rayquaza could be argued as having more than one in its species, but it is most likely the only one.
*Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit - They were created by Arceus to keep Dialga and Palkia in balance.
*Dialga and Palkia - They are the keepers of time and space.
*Giratina - It is the guardian of the Reverse World, an distorted mirror of the Pokémon world. Although it could be argued that because mirror dimensions exist, and there would be Reverse Worlds for each of these mirror dimensions, that is extremely technical and most likely won't be mentioned.
*Arceus - Creator of the Pokémon universe. Not much more to say about that.

:Actually, there is no way that Celebi would be the same Celebi from different time periods (as most of those Celebi [those supposedly from the future] would also not exist if that were the case, since it died.). As for Groudon and Kyogre, it was heavily implied in the end of Scuffle of Legends that they went to sleep again for another age-long rest (almost eternal), and it was also implied that the orbs are the only way they can awake, so it's more likely that Kyogre, at least, has multiples (since unless someone had bonded with the Blue Orb, then Kyogre should not awake, and thus not appear in Movie 9 if it's the same one.). Rayquaza was also implied to be captured by Team Rocket, and it won't make any sense that Rayquaza would be around the atmosphere if it can't get out (which the scene of it's capture implies that it can't escape.) Dialga and Palkia, did they even recognize Ash and co. when they appeared in the Team Galactic Two-Parter? If not, they're definitely not one of a kind, and since Giratina is also part of the same trio, that means it has to have multiples as well. For the Three Pixies, if there are more than one Dialga and Palkia, there are definitely going to be more than one Pixie Trio. So far, the only pokemon to be completely confirmed to be one of a kind without a doubt is Mewtwo. If Arceus somehow appears later on and doesn't even recognize Ash and Co, then it's safe to say that Arceus is also not one of a kind. As for Ho-Oh, let's wait until Movie 13 before we can say that it's one of a kind (If it doesn't recognize Ash, then it's safe to say it's not one of a kind.).

::Wow. I wasn't asking for a "Your wrong, stupid." type of response. We're trying to clear things up, not get into a fight. But since you want an argument for my point... For Celebi, the concept of time in the Pokémon universe, both games and movies, isn't immediate. In PMD2, you don't disappear right away. You still have like, a minute before you start to go away after correcting time. In Movie 12, it took forever for Ash and co. to nearly disappear, which they didn't. Celebi would have enough time to come back to heal itself. And who said it died anyways? It would also know when it would need to heal itself since it's a time travellor, and has basically the same powers that Dialga has, except they're not as massively powerful. There also isn't more than one Palkia, Dialga, or Arceus, as they're the only ones that are in existance. Dialga lives in a dimension outside of time, and Palkia controls all dimensions, except for Dialga's and Arceus'. It doesn't really matter if Palkia and Dialga recognize Ash and co. in the anime, because the anime =/= the movies. And from what I can tell, they don't do anything anyways. Cyrus captures them, and then the Lake trio free them and they go away. And there isn't more than one of each of the Lake trio, because there's... wait for it... ''three'' lakes for the ''three'' Lake guardians, and ''three'' {{tt|gifts|emotion, willpower, knowledge}} to humans. And so what if it appears that Team Rocket has Rayquaza? That was only in the intro to Movie 9 to show that there's evil in the Pokémon world. As for Groudon and Kyogre, again, anime =/= movies. Can't stress that enough. Those anime episodes were directly based off of R/S. There isn't any movie that's based specifically off of any part of a game.

:::If Anime=/=Movies, then you shouldn't have even cited the movies in the first place (In other words, you shouldn't have cited Darkrai's appearances, as well as the other Legendary Pokémons appearances.). As for who said it had died, the mere fact that even the newly purified healing spring wasn't able to heal it implied that it had died. And for the record, I wasn't calling you stupid nor even implying that you were. And another thing, just because there are three lakes in Sinnoh that hold the pixie trio does not mean that there cannot be more than one Pixie trio. It was earlier implied that there was only one Mew left in existance, yet it was later made clear that there were actually two mews.

===Definitively===
We can only say without a doubt that Mewtwo is unique in the anime. Arceus, the dragon trio, and the lake trio are presumed due to their link to the universe's creation. The rest, we can't say definitively, though we can more or less assume there's been only one Ho-Oh we've ever seen (Ash indicates it), and the weather trio's important roles also seem to point to there being only one of each.

Also, don't, ''don't'' think in the game sense in the anime. Also, the movies are canon, Ash-haters, find another thing he's not worthy of to rip on him for... like Gible or something. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

It's notable though that in "Mewtwo Strikes Back" Mew is refered in the single sense by many trainers(Such as saying "Mewtwo was cloned from Mew" instead of "Mewtwo was cloned from A Mew"). It could be that this Mew is ether the last one of the Mew kind, or just the Mew that's DNA was used to make Mewtwo. It's impossible to say though, since the movie never expands on this fact.--[[User:Dsman195276|Dsman195276]] 04:23, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I ask this honestly, but... if that isn't the very picture of a Legendary Pokémon, what is?

Please do not misunderstand me, I'm not simply trying to be a nag [although I apologize, I realize I must sound like I am], I'm asking specifically because it seems to be that the status of these two is sort of at the crux of the definition of what it means to be Legendary and thus relevant, one way or another, to the article.
:::::Let me see if I can word my thoughts better. The article discusses the definition of Legendary at the introduction, before the TOC; the first section mentions common characteristics of being Legendary.

Regardless of whether we are ultimately "right" about their Legendary status, if we say we don't have enough information to declare them Legendary, then maybe should the common characteristics [or some of them, whichever are truly defining] be considered as a part of the definition and moved to the introduction of the article?

=== Victini, Celebi, and Arceus ===
*I've been to the mall tour and in the "Introduction to Unova" that they show before entering the "Video Game Experience" area, the Narrator says, "Wow! It's ''the Mythical Pokémon Victini''! They say it has the power to bring victory." as Victini appears on the screen. And on the 13th page of the Tour Book given out during the mall tour about the distribution of the [[Liberty Pass]], it identifies Victini as ''the Mythical Pokémon Victini'' twice.

*Celebi is referred to as ''the Mythical Pokémon Celebi'' on [http://www.pokemon.com/us/ Pokémon.com], linking to a [http://www.pokemongoldsilver.com/us/#/news/celebi/ page] about Celebi's distribution at the mall tours and at Game Stop. On that page it refers to Celebi as ''the Mythical Celebi''. At the bottom of the same page, upon click the '6', it refers to the Celebi that the player receives from the deliveryman after it is distributed, as ''the Mythical Pokémon'', rather than just 'Celebi'.

*In an [http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/anim_movie12_dvd-2011-02-04/ announcement] about [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] going on DVD, it refers to Arceus as ''the Mythical Pokémon Arceus''.

Mythical Pokémon are most likely Pokémon that can only legitimately be obtained through distributions since this is true for Victini, Celebi, and Arceus, alike.

If my assumption turns out to be correct, all of the following Pokémon are those who I believe will likely be considered Mythical Pokémon:

*{{p|Mew}}
*{{p|Celebi}}
*{{p|Jirachi}}
*{{p|Deoxys}}
*{{p|Phione}} -- The fact that it can only be legitimately obtained by breeding a Ditto and a Manaphy, which the latter of can only legitimately be obtained through distributions, is enough for me to believe that Phione would be a Mythical Pokémon, in this case.
*{{p|Manaphy}}
*{{p|Darkrai}}
*{{p|Shaymin}}
*{{p|Arceus}}
*{{p|Victini}}
*{{p|Zorua}} -- Requires a fateful encounter Pokémon. Seems like good enough a reason to me.
*{{p|Zoroark}} -- Evolved form of an assumed-to-be Mythical Pokémon and requires fateful encounter Pokémon. Again, seems like good enough a reason.
*{{p|Keldeo}} -- Assumed to be available in the future via a distribution. Similar to Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus being kept secret at first.
*{{p|Meloetta}} -- Assumed to be available in the future via a distribution. Similar to Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus being kept secret at first.
*{{p|Genesect}} -- Assumed to be available in the future via a distribution. Similar to Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus being kept secret at first.

== "Unique" Legendaries in the Anime. ==

All right, I tolerated it when it was present, but after the addition of creatures that obviously weren't considered unique in the Anime (e.g., the Beast Trio from Johto), I think there needs to be a purging in regards to what's counted as unique and what's not.

First off, in regards to uniques, the only one explicitly confirmed to be Unique is Mewtwo. Most of the others are either unconfirmed or explicitly shown to be non-unique and thus should not be listed as such. Also, don't claim that they had some sort of important role in creating something (like creation of the Universe, for example) as a reason to state that they should be unique, because I will remind everyone that the Anime doesn't even care whether the creatures had an important role in creation. For example, Kyogre and Rayquaza was the one who created the Seas as well as the ruler of the skies/mitigator between Groudon and Kyogre's fight, respectively. However, that never stopped them from gaining multiple species, as evidenced with Kyogre reappearing in Movie 9 even though by the time of the movie, the Kyogre they encountered had already went back into slumber at the bottom of the basin, and if Kyogre has multiples, there's a fine bet that Groudon would have multiples as well. Rayquaza has also been shown to reappear three times, with one actually being captured by Team Rocket. Even if all three were the same entity, the mere fact that Kyogre and Groudon (explicitly shown and by proxy, respectively) had multiples meant that Rayquaza would have multiples as well. I mean, no sense in having one have multiples while others in the same trio not have the same multiples, either. Because of this, we can't use the whole "but they helped create Isshu/the Universe" belief as the reason why they are unique. Unless they have explicitly shown that they are unique, they can not be labelled as such, especially not under assumptions. If you have any evidence that suggests that the Legendaries encountered in the Anime are the same (e.g., the legendary in question actually recognizing Ash and co. from a previous encounter), then please add it in with the proper citation.

I've seen a few areas where the word "Ability" has been capitalized, like in the sentence below:

"Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the '''Ability''' to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme."

Shouldn't the word "Ability" be only capitalized when referring to ''actual'' [[Ability|Pokémon Abilities]], such as {{a|Blaze}}, {{a|Air Lock}}, or {{a|Torrent}}? In the above example, {{p|Shaymin}} doesn't explicitly possess a Pokémon Ability that permits it to change Forme; it can only heal status ailments upon being switched out ({{a|Natural Cure}}) or promote added effects ({{a|Serene Grace}}). The word "ability" seems to be used in a more 'general' sense, being synonymous with words like "capability", "talent", or "skill", rather than implying an actual Pokémon Ability.

== Are '''any''' Pokémon in the anime truly unique? ==

Because it has been confirmed that more than one Mewtwo (a Pokémon that was long thought to have been unique) exists in the anime, I now think it's speculative to say that any Pokémon is actually unique. After all, unless it is explicitly stated and proven that only one kind of a particular Pokémon exists, how do we know for sure whether or not Arceus, Reshiram, Zekrom, and other legendaries are truly the only ones of their kind? And when we assume these Pokémon are unique, the show's writers may introduce another individual of the Pokémon we thought was special in this regard. This is particularly true in Mewtwo's case, where we all thought it was a unique Pokémon for a long time prior to the sixteenth film. Wrap it all up, I feel this is speculation and we shouldn't assume what Pokémon are unique and which ones aren't. Anyone else agree? [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here!

== Gen-II hint ==

Because the location of a legendary pokemon changes when the player moves between routes and towns, and because it moves along usually sequentially, head towards the sign (trainer tips) at the top of Route 36, directly above this is route 37. Change between these two routes to cause the pokemon to move. They can be made to come to you using this method.

== Three More Pokémon? ==

While browsing around a forum, I came across [http://pokejungle.net/2013/10/31/rumour-legends-leaked-by-hacking/ this link] showing pictures of the three presumed legendary Pokémon that have not yet been released. Is this enough (I know the page says "rumor" on it, but think that these would be released in the next games most likely) to allow us to create pages on them? I looked for {{redlink|Hoopa (Pokémon)}} to see that it still does not exist. We don't have screenshots of their Dex entries, unfortunately, but Serebii did have [https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1377346_495855790511942_864380182_n.jpg these] up at one point, albeit briefly. I think we can safely create pages on the three - even though Nintendo hasn't announced them - and put what unconfirmed information we do have, but keep the pages locked down so they cannot be freely edited. The intro to the page would say an unconfirmed Pokémon noting we are only collecting what's been posted elsewhere so far and noting that it's speculation. Thoughts?

It also includes something on Mega Latios and Mega Latias, but we do not know if this is something they decided to cut from the game (they look identical). I'm not comfortable adding those to the related pages yet. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:57, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

== Why is Zygarde apart of the "Morality" Duo? ==

It clearly represents order between them. It looks like a Z, and it's name also begins with one (Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde). Also, it even shares the same battle them with them.{{unsigned|Maxdoss}}
:I imagine it's because it's not confirmed to be part of the trio, even though it's blatantly obvious.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 23:36, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

== The Legendary Pokemon of the Kalos Region, 716-718 ==

it obvious those three Pokemon are relative to even though it doesn't explicitly stated within the story. Pokemon Wiki was able deduce that the 3 are related to each other, calling them the Yggdrasil trio by fans. Zygarde's Pokedex entries and ability gives a clear hint they its related to the duo. Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, all three have a role in the ecosystem. Xerneas involves life and creating forests. Yveltal brings destruction, meaning the end of a life of an living being. While Zygarde role in the echo system is balance, determine how long a living being is to live and eventually die. These pokemon roles involves the environment and gender chromosomes(Mostly for Xerneas and Yveltal). I Strongly believe that Zygarde should be add to the duo, making a trio. After this is simialr to the Kyurem and Giratina issue. I leave this topic out for anyone to dicuss this.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 00:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

The trivia section states that Ho-Oh is the only Legendary Pokémon from Generation II not to appear in a movie. It also states that the Groudon from [[M06]] doesn't count because it's a fake one. But doesn't that mean that Entei from [[M03]] shouldn't count either? It is just an illusion after all...

'''Aura Sphere''' (Japanese: '''はどうだん''' ''Wave Bomb'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Aura Sphere inflicts damage and is unaffected by modifications to the {{stat|accuracy}} stat and {{stat|evasion}} stat. It will not hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

===Generation V===
Aura Sphere can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

===Generation VI===
Aura Sphere's base power is reduced to 80. Additionally, its power is boosted by 50% if the user has {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to it.

===Pokémon Rumble Blast===
The user creates a blue ball that homes in on the nearest Pokémon.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Aura Sphere is Lucario's standard Special move. Like most of its moves, Aura Sphere is more powerful if Lucario has taken more damage.

If the opponent runs into Lucario while it is charging the sphere, the opponent also takes damage.

==Origin?==

Karamanero could be based off of the {{wp|Kraken}}. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 15:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::I agree, although, I believe that, especially based on its dark primary typing, it also may be based on the Humboldt squid in particular, also known as the Diablo rojo, which translates to "red devil".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Especially thinking that because of it's really long tentacles. It's face also kinda of looks like a Kraken. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 00:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking it might be based on (the idea of) a vampire squid. It doesn't look like an actual vampire squid, but it does sort of look like a squid that was also a vampire [[User:Vienna Waltz|Vienna Waltz]] ([[User talk:Vienna Waltz|talk]]) 12:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar's Dark/Psychic typing and hypnotic powers remind me of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid Illithids] or mindflayers from Dungeons & Dragons. They are squid-headed humanoids with often purple-blue skin; they have psionic powers and can control others to do their bidding. Illithids have a history of being adapted for Japanese video games; there is a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mindflayer_(Final_Fantasy) Mindflayer enemy in Final Fantasy as well.] Of course, there's no telling what it's really based on besides just a squid. It'd be cool if we could get a designer interview discussing some of the origins of these designs like was done for some Pokémon in Generation V.

Malamar could also be a Giant Squid.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 22:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar is clearly based on the "Vampire Squid" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid] due to hynotic lights and its ability to turn itself inside out both key features to Malmar's design.(Malamar turning upside down instead of inside out) Also I want to note that Malamar's collar resembles an "Upturned Collar" similar to an actual vampire. The Vampire Squid's nickname is "vampire squid of Hell" hence the Dark type of Malamar. {{unsigned|ProtoTurtle}}

:I'm not really seeing a very strong resemblance to the vampire squid (and that's the translation of its scientific name, not its nickname). Vampire squid are crimson in color; Malamar has no crimson on it at all. Vampire squid have distinctive blue eyes; Malamar's eyes are yellow. Vampire squid have rounded mantles, lack two longer tentacles, their tentacles are connected by membrane that forms a netlike area around the mouth, and they generally really don't look like squid at all (in fact, they're not actually true squid, nor octopi, but the only living member of their own order); Malamar is shaped very much like most true squid species. Also, Malamar turns itself upside-down, not inside-out (although "inside-out" is a misnomer--the vampire squid merely turns its arm cloak over the rest of its body). So I think it's safe to say Malamar is not based on a vampire squid, just (real) squid in general (in fact, I'd agree more with the idea that it could be inspired by Humboldt squid, which are notoriously vicious hunters and could explain the Dark typing). [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] ([[User talk:Lucentas|talk]]) 03:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Malamar, and to some extent Inkay, could be based on the amanojaku. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanojaku] The amanojaku is supposedly the demon of contrariness, which could be connected to Malamar's upside-down body structure and its Ability Contrary, as well as its signature move, Topsy-Turvy.

== Name origin? ==

Most likely to me, given its squiddy nature and its Dark typing, is ''malicious'' and ''calamari''. [[User:Zakitano|Zakitano]] ([[User talk:Zakitano|talk]]) 15:34, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

== Type combination ==

I think its worth mentioning that 'No other pokemon has the same type as Malamar and its [[ Inkay | pre-evolution]]' [[User:Benjabby|Benjabby]] ([[User talk:Benjabby|talk]]) 16:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

== name origin ==

I'm pretty sure ''malicous'' since it's a dark is more likely than mal, especially since there will probably be female malamar anyway [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 06:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

:::''Malicious'' itself derives from ''mal-''; there's no need to mention every single word that includes a root prefix. Mentioning ''mal-'' (though we should probably include the prefix-denoting final hyphen and/or write out its definition, considering that it can be confused at a glance with ''male'', as you've demonstrated) should be enough to get the point across that ''malicious'', ''malevolent'', and other ''mal-'' words are applicable as well.

::::well you should have brackets saying it means bad instead of hyperlinking it to an at-first-glance misleading definition(it says it comes from "the latin adverb ''male''" which I misunderstood as male instead of bad) [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 20:34, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]''

== -MAL ==

Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious. So many words, it seems quite silly to just leave the bulbapedia entry at "a combination of mal and calamari". Pedestrian, no? At the very least specify that "mal" is indeed a prefix followed by something like "from the Latin Malus, meaning bad". I mean do we really need to link what Mal stands for when it can be easily described? Calamari, ok, not everyone may know what that is. However, I have yet to see another pokemon page link to a prefix...{{unsigned|Milotic1209}}

I hate to be such a stickler, but it's really bugging me. I think it should be addressed.{{unsigned|Milotic1209}}

== Korean name for Malamar, possible Japanese name meaning ==

Its Korean name is 칼라마네로 ''Kallamanero''.
* Transliteration of its Japanese name.
* From 칼라마리 ''kallamari'', "calamari"
* 네로 ''nero'' could be from Nero, Roman Emperor
:: Seeing as its the same name in Japanese and Korean, and there's really no Korean word "네로", I greatly suspect it's supposed to be from Nero, Roman Emperor... akin to Empoleon/エンペルト being based on Napoleon Bonaparte. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 19:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

== Spanish ==

Hello. ''Malamar'' could be a ''Spanish reference'' for ''Mal'' (evil in Spanish), and ''Mar'' (sea in Spanish), and ''Mala mar'' is a expression that in English means ''rough seas''. Sorry by my bad English. Regards. --[[User:Gtasp|Gtasp]] ([[User talk:Gtasp|talk]]) 09:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

== Species name ==

Should it be noted in the trivia for Malamar that "Overturning Pokemon" could be a reference to the fact that it can only evolve if the 3DS is "overturned"? {{unsigned|Sylveon}}
:No. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 08:17, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

== Name origin (again) ==

I know it is likely that the "mal" in Malamar's name comes from latin meaning bad, but what if "mala" comes from malacology (study of molluscs)? [[User:ShadowLugiaEx|ShadowLugiaEx]] ([[User talk:ShadowLugiaEx|talk]]) 19:43, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

'''Sand Tomb''' (Japanese: '''すなじごく''' ''Sand Hell'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Ground}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Sand Tomb inflicts 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. It also traps the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed. If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Sand Tomb on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]]. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

Sand Tomb has a Power of 15 and an accuracy of 70.

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, if the user of Sand Tomb is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the duration will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a [[Shed Shell]], it can switch out.

===Generation V===
Sand Tomb's Power and accuracy were increased to 35 and 85, Sand Tomb now lasts four to five turns.

List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation

2010-11-14T21:02:18Z

ShadowLugiaEx:

{{incomplete}}

Even before the games, '''alternately colored Pokémon''' have made occasional appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The first to ever appear was a [[pink Butterfree]] in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. Many alternately colored Pokémon appear in the [[Orange Archipelago]] due to the tropical climate. [[Shiny Pokémon]] began to make appearances in the anime during the Johto saga after {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were released. What follows is a chronological list of alternately colored Pokémon that have appeared in the anime.

Should I move this to "List of alternate colored Pokémon in the anime"? That way, Pink Butterfree could be included. --[[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 18:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

== Lapras ==

Why is everyone forgetting the Lapras from [[EP113]]? That was Ash's Lapras mother, IIRC. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

:Probably because Lapras's mother is not the same coloration as the game's alternate coloration standards. The game's standards have alternate-coloration Lapras as being purple.

:On the flip side of the coin, keep in mind that the episode in question, while very late in the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] [[arc]] (late enough in said arc to be part of season 3 in the dub, despite what Bulbapedia's warped standards on seasons, as well as more recent popular belief, imply; the theme song defines an ''arc'', not a ''season''), is still a [[Generation I]]-era episode, hence the game's alternate-coloration standards wouldn't apply to it. Hence it could technically qualify as a slight color variation, given that this IS the Orange Islands after all...

:My [[$1|2¢]]: Let the war room look this over and make a judgment, then allow time for it to be implemented properly. It just might turn out in your favor (I'd go ahead and say the odds favor you). --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Crystal Onix's Type==
Just added Lapras's mother to the list. This page show the Crystal Onix as a Rock/Ground type. While regular Onix are this type, the Crystal Onix is clearly a completely different type (like Wormadam for example), due to its immunity to Water type Attacks & weakness to Fire type attacks, and also the fact that it is not made of rock, but rather crystal or glass. Its type is clearly not Rock but since Crystal is not a type (except in the TCG) it needs be changed to the ??? type or ???/Ground.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 14:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think that's necessary; the only indication of type on the page is the template colors, and the ??? color is in my opinion, nasty looking. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:HM slave

2009-04-28T17:19:20Z

ShadowLugiaEx:

can anyone give me a list of HM mules?
:Depends on what the exact definition is. I know that {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Bibarel}} can both learn HMs to fill up their moves. {{p|Mew}}, of course, can. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 18:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
::Every Pokémon can be a HM Slave. For example my Yan Long (my female Onix) has 3 HM moves in her moveset: Strength, Rock Climb, Rock Smash. She's nothing more than a HM "mule". I use her only to get through dungeon. Every Pokémon who learns HMs can be a HM Slave, there is no specific list. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I suppose that if you want a combination of two Pokémon to have four HMs each to fill out their moveset so that between them you have all eight HMs, Tropius/Chinchou in RSE is one such combination (and Kyogre/Rayquaza), as is Bibarel/Skarmory in DP. And of course, two Mews. -[[User:Rukario448|ルカリオ]] 14:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

== Page name ==

In the many years I have been online and browsing Pokémon websites, this is the first time I have seen the term "HM Mule" used. In fact, the Google search results display a dramatic difference between the two terms (with omitted results included), HM Slave giving 540 results, and HM Mule giving only 117. And a large number of the latter have little or no relation to Pokémon whatsoever. Wouldn't it make more sense to name the article after the more common term?

I agree with System Error. I vote we move this page. - [[User:Jonah|Jonah]] 20:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, as a count from today, "HM Mule" 111 Google hits; "HM Slave" 592, and "HM Bitch" 306. Move page to "HM Slave", and add a redirect page for "HM Bitch" to it?" (This page is also the first time I've seen "HM Mule"; I've previously used the other two terms, with a preference for the latter.) -[[User:Rukario448|ルカリオ]] 14:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

What about HM Whore? I've heard that a lot. So that should be a redirect, shouldn't it?--[[User:Goukazaru|Goukazaru]] 16:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I've only heard of HM slaves, although I (being me) call them HMers, but that's just what I say, but that in google and you get zilch-o. [[Image:Ani197MS.gif]][[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]][[Image:Ani148MS.gif]] 16:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

== Defog? ==

Back at my old forums, someone posted something about Defog, calling it another Rapid spin sans damage. He/She/It said that defog could remove Stealth Rocks, Spikes, and other things I can't remember. Everyone seemed to believe said He/She/It, has anyone tested that? [[Image:Ani197MS.gif]][[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]][[Image:Ani148MS.gif]] 16:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, Defog DOES remove Stealth Rock and Spikes. And Toxic Spikes, Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, and Mist. On your opponent's side of the battlefield. So yeah. It's bad if you set up Spikes/Stealth Rock/Toxic Spikes, but good if your opponent set up anything else. Oh, and obviously it clears fog from the battle. --
