A '''vitamin''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Pokémon]]. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, vitamins gave 2560 Stat Exp to a stat, but could only be given until that stat had 25600 Stat Exp. However, in [[Generation III]] and beyond, stats were calculated with the system of [[effort values]], and so instead vitamins give a Pokémon 10 EV points to a stat, only working if the EVs of the stat raised are less than 100, and if the total EVs are less than 510.

The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins do not work in the same way, since instead of raising a stat they raise the PP value of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s. Rare Candy is also an exception to this, since it instead raises the Pokémon's [[level]] by one.

==Acquisition==
PP-raising vitamins cannot be purchased anywhere, and must be found instead. All other vitamins are available to buy at [[Celadon Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Department Store]], [[Lilycove Department Store]], [[Veilstone Department Store]], {{ci|Slateport}} market, and the [[Safari Zone Gate]]. Vitamins can also be purchased at the [[Battle Frontier]] for 1 [[BP]] each, and Rare Candies can be purchased at the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier in Sinnoh and Johto]] for 48 BP each. PP Ups are commonly given as prizes in the lottery.

==Origin==
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Protein in human nutrition|protein}} is important for the strength and development of muscles. The stronger muscles are probably what increases the Pokémon's Attack.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Iron#Biological role|iron}} is mostly used to create several important proteins. It was probably chosen because iron is a hard metal, and thus easy to associate with Defense, much like {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Calcium#Nutrition|calcium}} is important for the strength and development of bones and teeth, which is why it raises Special Attack.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Zinc#Biological role|zinc}} is used to create a large number of important proteins, helping the body survive and function, which is why it raises Special Defense.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Carbohydrate#Nutrition|carbohydrates}} are used as energy in the body. The increased amount of energy is probably what boosts the Pokémon's Speed.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], candy is almost entirely composed of sugar, a very quickly burning energy source. Therefore, when a Pokémon eats a Rare Candy, it is possible that the fast energy rush allows the Pokémon to have a brief growth spurt without gaining as much strength as it could.

==In the anime==
In the episode ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', the Rare Candy made its anime debut. However, unlike in the games, where the Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode, it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable). However, as this was a specially modified and experimental version of it, it is unknown what the original would do.

==Trivia==
* The [[item duplication glitch]] is sometimes called the Rare Candy glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.

==Origin==
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Protein in human nutrition|protein}} is important for the strength and development of muscles. The stronger muscles are probably what increases the Pokémon's Attack.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Iron#Biological role|iron}} is mostly used to create several important proteins. It was probably chosen because iron is a hard metal, and thus easy to associate with Defense, much like {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Calcium#Nutrition|calcium}} is important for the strength and development of bones and teeth, which is why it raises Special Attack.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Zinc#Biological role|zinc}} is used to create a large number of important proteins, helping the body survive and function, which is why it raises Special Defense.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], {{wp|Carbohydrate#Nutrition|carbohydrates}} are used as energy in the body. The increased amount of energy is probably what boosts the Pokémon's Speed.
* In the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], candy is almost entirely composed of sugar, a very quickly burning energy source. Therefore, when a Pokémon eats a Rare Candy, it is possible that the fast energy rush allows the Pokémon to have a brief growth spurt without gaining as much strength as it could.

==In the anime==
In the episode ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', the Rare Candy made its anime debut. However, unlike in the games, where the Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode, it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable). However, as this was a specially modified and experimental version of it, it is unknown what the original would do.

==Trivia==
* The [[item duplication glitch]] is sometimes called the Rare Candy glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and its remake, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with gold and red being its dominant colors. Ho-Oh also resembles a peacock. Ho-Oh has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its red-iris eyes, and a feathered-crest. Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it.

====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's most notable ability is its mythical power to resurrect the dead. Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}} and can hold [[Sacred Ash]].

===Behavior===
Not much is known about this creature, due to the fact that few trainers have been lucky enough to see it. It has been observed to be territorial at times when its nest is disturbed. It freely flies the world's skies in search of a Trainer with a pure heart.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Bell Tower]] until the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:HoOh anime.png|250px|thumb|Ho-Oh in the anime]]
According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times. When a war broke out, burning both the Tin Tower and the Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. A sacred flame from Ho-Oh burns in the [[Dragon's Den]]; it was obtained during the same war.

===Major appearances===
====[[Ho-Oh (anime)]]====
A Ho-Oh appeared to {{Ash}} at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky after the thunderstorm. Ash's Pokédex could not identify it. It was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, and was seen before most {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]]. This encouraged him to get over his depression at his loss and continue his journey.

Ho-Oh was seen flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. This time, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Scott]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} saw Ho-Oh as well (on a slightly related note, this time, {{an|May|someone else}} other than Ash managed to identify it first).

====Other====


===Minor appearances===
Ho-Oh had a cameo appearance during the opening sequence for ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In the [[M08|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh made a small cameo in the introduction of the movies ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP001|Ho-Oh|Ash's Pokédex|There is no data. There still are Pokémon yet to be identified.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Ho-Oh in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Ho-Oh was used by the [[Masked Man]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:SSBB Ho-Oh.png|220px|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
* Aside from the opening theme song, which featured {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, and the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh was the first [[legendary Pokémon]] ever seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Ho-Oh is also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be shown in the anime, making it the first sign that the franchise would ever expand beyond 151.
* Ho-Oh's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
* Ho-Oh is one of the only two [[version mascots]] with a wild held item ([[Sacred Ash]]). The other is {{p|Pikachu}} (with {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} or [[Oran Berry]]).
* Ho-Oh is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Ho-Oh is tied with Lugia for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type2|Flying}}s. This also ties them for the fourth highest Special Defense of all Pokémon.
** Ho-Oh also has the highest Special Defense of all {{type|Fire}}s as well as the highest base stat total.
** Ho-Oh is tied with Lugia and {{p|Rayquaza}} for highest base stat total of all Flying types.
** Ho-Oh has the highest Attack of all Fire-types, tied with {{p|Flareon}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when the Kimono Girls are summoning the legendary Pokémon, they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counterclockwise for Lugia.
* Ho-Oh is one of four game mascots that shares the first letter of its name with the game it is the mascot of: HeartGold. The other three are {{p|Blastoise}} (Blue), {{p|Dialga}} (Diamond), and {{p|Palkia}} (Pearl).
** Though, this is only true with [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|the remake]], and not [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|the original]].
*Ho-Oh, along with Lugia are the only two legendary version mascots with counterparts that have not had a conflict in the anime.
*Despite Pokédex entries making reference to Ho-Oh's rainbow colored feathers, the colors of Ho-Oh's feathers colors consist of only green, white, red and gold.
*It's indirectly said in a myth in {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} that it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}.
*{{smw|Fluzzard}}, a bird from {{smw|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}, resembles Ho-Oh in both shape and color scheme. He is also accompanied by smaller birds whose color schemes' resemble that of [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] Ho-Oh.

===Origin===
Ho-Oh is based on the {{wp|Huma bird}}, a legendary bird that is said to never rest, living its entire life flying continuously, and resurrects itself and others in its own ashes and flames. It is a symbol of fortune and friendship and will bestow happiness to anyone who simply glimpses it. Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is also based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based more on the {{wp|Fenghuang}}, the immortal phoenix of China. Many cultures view the Phoenix and Huma as symbols of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from [[Sacred Ash|its own ashes]] and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}. It may also be based on many other {{wp|firebird}}s; some examples are the {{wp|Yatagarasu|Three-legged bird}}, {{wp|Simurgh}}, and the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Ember Bird}}. It also is similar to the rainbow-feathered bird god {{wp|Achiyalabopa}}.

====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''{{wp|Fenghuang|Fènghuáng}}''.

Type-enhancing item

Shady: /* List of type-enhancing items */

A '''type-enhancing item''', when [[held item|held]], enhances the power of attacks with the corresponding type. In [[Generation IV]], these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%.
If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay {{PDollar}}50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay {{PDollar}}4,900, and the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer {{PDollar}}5,000.

In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver|Generation IV remakes]], several of these items can be obtained from the [[Week Siblings]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a plate.
* In Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a plate.
* In Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

Pokémon breeding

2010-07-24T21:01:07Z

Shady: /* Generation IV */ key point

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of making a new [[Pokémon]] by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Daycare]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], and [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned legendaries) can only breed with Ditto.


=====Breeding Rate<ref>http://www.legendarypokemon.net/breeding</ref>=====
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along very well."
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."
* '''Different egg groups, same genders or No egg group'''
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an egg.
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

====Receiving the egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Daycare, for every 256 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether or not the old man has found an egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), or facing the road ([[Generation IV]]). The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the egg and receive it later.

====What will hatch====
After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]]) Pokémon of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain (or the non-Ditto parent).

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will ''not'' produce the female counterpart. The pairs are the following:

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.

{{p|Wobbuffet}} and {{p|Azumarill}}/{{p|Marill}} baby forms were introduced in [[Generation III]].
{{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mantine}} baby forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Each evolution-chain requires a specific attached incense to breed the baby form.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of egg cycles. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of egg cycles required for hatching.

"Time" is actually determined by egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an egg is to be found at the day care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the day-care at the time), and all (or only a few) eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one egg cycle count. If the egg cycle count for an egg reaches zero or a negative number, the egg will begin to hatch. If an egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an egg cycle count from the rest of the eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two eggs can hatch at the same time.

The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an egg from the Day-care Man (or in the Manaphy egg's case, from the mystery gift delivery man in the Pokémart). Every time an egg is received, the game automatically resets the egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off of the egg hatching process for every egg accepted from the Day-care Man (the egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an egg cycle from the eggs, any eggs ready to hatch upon this type of egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day-care man following the pickup of an egg.

For example, a {{p|Gligar}} egg requires 21 egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an egg hatching or egg pickup. After each egg cycle is completed, this egg will drop one egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the egg from hatching, the egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the egg is stopped from another egg pickup.

There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bike]] (for example) would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is in the front of a player's [[party]], it doubles the egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the egg. In the Gligar example, the egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the front of the party, the egg would drop 2 egg cycle counts after each egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. The final way to speed up egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an egg from the Day-care man one step after an egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off of the hatching process (this particular egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor ability, and may only ever reduce the egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the egg, the egg would reduce one egg cycle count (down to 20), and the egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day-care Man with only one step, the egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an egg from the Day-care Man, and the egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar egg, reducing the egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn as a "Start" move in its learnset (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and starting in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[move tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pokémon Daycare.

In {{game|Emerald}} (and subsequently [[Generation IV]]), there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. It should be noted that the parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[Individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from the first parent or an {{DL|Stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP, respectively.

===Inheriting Natures===
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Natures|Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 Everstone breeding working on males] - PokéCommunity forums</ref> Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the pokémon are from different real world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain).

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]] a player can breed for "[[shiny_Pokémon|shininess]]" due to the method Generation II games used for calculating whether a Pokémon is shiny or not, an egg hatched from an alternate colored Pokémon in has a 1/64 chance of being alternately colored itself. This does not apply with later games, however.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]] a bred pokémon has the same chance as being shiny as any met in the wild. There is no known method to change this.

====Generation IV====
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding, there is an increased chance (1/2048 as opposed to 1/8192) of hatching a [[shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for shininess is otherwise unchanged.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received his [[Ash's Phanpy|egg]] from such a location, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Eevee|egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.

==Trivia==
*Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. Pokémon which breed differently depending on whether or not they hold an [[incense]] item, are particularly debated. Most fans perceive the necessity of the Incense items as a mere excuse for the fact that the [[baby Pokémon]] could not be previously obtained. Perhaps also surprisingly, these baby Pokémon have different egg move lists than those of their evolved forms.
*Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the egg groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. This has led fans to view Pokémon breeding as being quite different from real-life mating. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed.
*One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.
*Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.
*When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around the {{player}}'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity has been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.
*No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]] due to data storage methods regarding the [[personality value]].

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --—♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 16:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Once I find some incorrectly printed or unprinted facts, I'll do them and not my userpage, which I'll leave unedited for sometime.. Thanks for pointing it out though. {{unsigned|Squizzlemarowak}}

:Yep! See the big grey box full of info and a picture of Mawile on the article [[Mawile (Pokémon)]]? That's an infobox. They're used at the headings of most articles. There are a lot of different infoboxes designed for different articles. For example: to place an infobox for a Pokemon, use [[Template:PokémonInfobox]] and fill in the available slots.

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Latios has mostly the same body shape as Latias, but with a larger build. His lower body is blue instead of red and features the same triangle-shaped marking that Latias has, only red. The rest of Latios's body is gray instead of white. Latios has flatter ears and narrower eyes than Latias. The gray spot in the middle of Latios's blue face is shaped like a tear-drop. Latios also has ridge-shaped features on its rear, which may either be rudimentary feet or tails or some sort, which differs in shape to Latias's. Like Latias, Latios's forelimbs have banded markings on the insides.
====Gender differences====
Latios is a male-only species. His female counterpart is {{p|Latias}}.

====Special abilities====
Latios comes with the ability {{a|Levitate}}, which causes {{type2|Ground}} moves to miss. Latios is able to fold in his arms and fly at the speed of a jet. He can make foes see images he has seen or what he imagines in his head. He can understand human speech. Even if he is hiding, Latios can detect the locations and emotions of others using telepathy.

In the movie ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'' Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that he can shape-shift like Latias, although he was never seen doing so during the course of the movie.

Latios is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Luster Purge}}.

===Behavior===
Latios has a very protective nature, especially towards his relative, Latias. He has a docile temperament and dislikes fighting. He will open his heart if he finds a Trainer with a compassionate spirit.

===Habitat===
Much like Latias, it is mostly unknown where they inhabit. However, they tend to prefer areas that are secluded and have a body of fresh water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Latios.png|thumb|right|200px|{{mov|Latios|Latios|5}} in the anime]]
{{mov|Latios|Latios|5}} made his debut appearance in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] captured Latios and used him to power the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]] along with the stolen [[Soul Dew]]. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.

A Latios also appeared in ''[[PK17|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'' where, along with Latias, it used its powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}} and the other Pokémon search for the legendary 'Wailord's Tear' beneath the ocean.

==In the manga==
Latios, along with Latias, was befriended by {{Adv|Emerald}}, and took the young Trainer to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. He later helped [[Todd Snap|Todd]] watch the events going on on top of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pyramid}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Latios (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After Latios appears from its [[Poké Ball]], he will fly off the stage. He and Latias will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}}, damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: If the ball drops out of the [[Ruby Field]] while the "Ball Saver" is active, Latios will rescue it and place it on Spoink without the ball being lost.

===Pokédex entries===

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If blue is selected Latios roams Hoenn and Latias is found at the island. If red is selected, Latios is found at the island and Latias roams Hoenn.

==Trivia==
*Latios and {{p|Latias}} were the first legendary Pokémon to have set [[gender]]s, or even genders at all.
**Despite this, they belong to the {{egg3|No eggs}}, and cannot breed.
*Latios is one of the few non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon who can learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} (by {{m|Sketch}}), {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.
*Before Generation IV, Latios either resisted or was weak to every type classified as Special, taking no neutral hits from any. It shares this trait with {{p|Latias}}.
*Latios shares the same [[species]] name with his female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
*Latios is the only male-only legendary Pokémon.
* While holding [[Soul Dew]], Latios' maximum {{stat|Special Attack}} becomes 591, higher than any other Pokémon, with the exception of {{p|Shuckle}} using [[Power Trick]].
* Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latios and {{p|Latias}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.

===Origin===
Latios appears to be a cross between a {{wp|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}, with a delta in his chest, the masculine symbol, and an inverse delta in his head representing the mind-connection with {{p|Latias}}. Although it and Latias may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/superego.
====Name origin====
It is possible that Latios's name is based on the {{wp|Latin}} word ''lateo'', hidden. The ''-os'' suffix in its name indicates that it is male, while the ''-as'' in ''{{p|Latias}}'' indicates that it is female.

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン ''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} via {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious golden-white fur, as well as having nine tails, each of which is tipped with orange. They also have a fluffy crest atop their heads and a similar ruff around their necks. Ninetales have gleaming red eyes that are said to give them the power of mind control. They can also live up to one thousand years.

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

====Special abilities====
Ninetales are based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese mythology, giving them abilities to wield {{type2|Ghost}} attacks such as {{m|Confuse Ray}}, and the fairly Ghost exclusive {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. They are also very vengeful Pokémon and have been known to curse those who mistreat them. Ninetales are highly intelligent Pokémon that understand human speech. Many legends surround this Pokémon, one of which states that Ninetales was born when 9 saints were united and reincarnated as this Pokémon. Ninetales have also been shown on several occasions to be able to swim, most notably in [[M01|Mewtwo Returns]] and [[M02|The Power Of One]], unusual for a Fire-type.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon's extreme intelligence lends to what most consider {{type2|Psychic}} characteristics, though Ninetales has never officially been described as anything other than a {{type2|Fire}}. It also seems to hold grudges very easily and will curse humans and Pokémon alike if they touch one of its tails.

An injured Ninetales appeared under the care of [[Katrina (Hoenn)|Katrina]] in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

Ninetales also had a cameo during the opening credits of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', taking part in the festival honoring [[Sir Aaron]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} both tried catching the same Ninetales. In the scuffle for its Poké Ball, Blue managed to grab it first.

[[Magma Admin Courtney]] uses a Ninetales as her main battler.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], the curse that Ninetales can conjure is one of the main points of the plot.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ninetales cast a [[Curse of Ninetales|curse]] on a human that would turn it into a Pokémon, bringing on many natural disasters.

==Trivia==
* Ninetales's name was originally spelled as "Nine Tales".
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as "Ninetails" in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
* Despite what many of its [[Pokédex]] descriptions say, it cannot learn the move {{m|Curse}} other than by [[TM03]] in [[Generation II]]. Even still, due to its typing, Ninetales can only alter its stats with Curse, rather than place one on the target.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Ninetales is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Despite what numerous Pokédex entries imply, Ninetales cannot learn {{m|Revenge}}.
* {{p|Vulpix}} and Ninetales are the only two {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon species where females outnumber males.
* Ninetales has been inconsistently shown with either solid yellow tails or yellow tails with orange tips. The solid yellow tails appear in its original art as well as its [[Generation I]], {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}} sprites while the orange-tipped ones appear in its revamped art, its model in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and its [[Generation IV]] sprites.

===Origin===
Ninetales, like {{p|Vulpix}}, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or ''{{wp|kitsune}}'', as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Ninetales the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐, the nine-tailed fox, which is a fox of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold. It is said to have the power of infinite vision.
====Name origin====
Its name simply refers to the nine tails it has, although "tales" is used in place of "tails", perhaps to reference the many myths in Japan that it is based on. ''Kyūkon'' can be taken to mean 旧恨, old grudge, although it is worth noting that the first syllable spells out 九 ''kyū'', nine and ''kon'' from the Japanese onomatopoeia ''konkon'' - the sound that foxes make. Furthermore, a コンロ ''konro'' is a gas burner stove. Also, an alternate reading of the Japanese word for fox, 狐 ''kitsune'', is ''ko''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vulnona - From ''{{wp|Vulpes}}'' and ''nona'' (Latin for "the ninth" with a female ending).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Feunard - From ''feu'' (fire) and ''renard'' (fox).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 나인테일 ''Nainteil''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 九尾 ''Jiǔ Wěi'' - Literally means "Nine tails".

'''Torment''' (Japanese: '''いちゃもん''' ''Falsely Accuse'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Torment prevents the target from using the same move twice in a row. If the target is using a Choice item or only knows one move, the target will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second round.

== Infernape ==

According to Smogon, Serebii, Eevee, and Legendary Pokédexes, Infernape learns Punishment, not Torment. I'm reverting these factual errors right now. Okay? Don't pull vandalism like this again.

Its body is a primarily a brownish-red color, with sections of white fur on its chest, head and legs, and a large flame burning on its head that never goes out. The tail flame it had as a {{P|Monferno}} has disappeared. Infernape wears two gold chest rings in place of a chest plate. It also has swirl-patterned, gold shoulder pads, knee pads, and wrist bands. The blue and red markings it had on its forehead as a Monferno have now changed to a deep blood-red color. Infernape’s scleras are yellow, and its irises are blue. Its hands, toes, and inner ears are also blue. Unlike Chimchar and Monferno, Infernape's head flame never goes out.

==Trivia==
* Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental type|type combination]]. Its type combination is shared with {{p|Blaziken}}.
** It is also the only final form of a Sinnoh starter not to be immune to {{m|Sandstorm}}.
* However, while Torterra and Empoleon lose some of their resistances ( Water & Fire, respectively), Infernape actually loses a ''weakness'' (Rock).
* Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters ({{p|Sceptile}} ranks first).
* Although its [[Pokédex]] entry says that "this Pokémon is beaten by none in terms of quickness" its base Speed is the 34th highest of all Pokémon.
* Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] to be used by a {{EF|Flint|member}} of any [[Elite Four]], not counting the Champion.
* Infernape is both the fastest Fire-type and the fastest Fighting-type Pokémon, with a base speed of 108.
* It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
* Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, as {{p|Empoleon}} is immune to {{t|Poison}} attacks and {{p|Torterra}} is immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks.
* Infernape was the last fully-evolved [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] to be introduced in the anime.
*Infernape is the only Pokémon in Generation IV whose name starts with the letter I.

===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in his design as well as his Japanese name are most likely linked to Son Goku, the Japanese interpretation of the character {{wp|Sun Wukong}}. Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese epic {{wp|Journey to the West}} and is a monkey with powerful abilities. It is also similar to the {{wp|Vanara}}, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic {{wp|Ramayana}}. It is most likely based off the martial art {{wp|Muay Thai}} which uses all the limbs and possibly {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, another type of martial arts. It may have also be loosely based on {{wp|Crazy Monkey Defense}}, a boxing style that incorporated elements from other martial arts such as Muay Thai.
====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of ''inferno'' and ''ape''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Panferno - From ''Schimpanse'' (chimpanzee) and ''inferno''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Simiabraz - From ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''braise'' (ember).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 초염몽 ''Choyeommong'
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈焰猴 ''Liè Yàn Hóu'' - "Raging flame monkey".

==Trivia==
* Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental type|type combination]]. Its type combination is shared with {{p|Blaziken}}.
** It is also the only final form of a Sinnoh starter not to be immune to {{m|Sandstorm}}.
* However, while Torterra and Empoleon lose some of their resistances ( Water & Fire, respectively), Infernape actually loses a ''weakness'' (Rock).
* Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters ({{p|Sceptile}} ranks first).
* Although its [[Pokédex]] entry says that "this Pokémon is beaten by none in terms of quickness" its base Speed is the 34th highest of all Pokémon.
* Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] to be used by a {{EF|Flint|member}} of any [[Elite Four]], not counting the Champion.
* Infernape is both the fastest Fire-type and the fastest Fighting-type Pokémon, with a base speed of 108.
* It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
* Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, as {{p|Empoleon}} is immune to {{t|Poison}} attacks and {{p|Torterra}} is immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks.
* Infernape was the last fully-evolved [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] to be introduced in the anime.
*Infernape is the only Pokémon in Generation IV whose name starts with the letter I.

===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in his design as well as his Japanese name are most likely linked to Son Goku, the Japanese interpretation of the character {{wp|Sun Wukong}}. Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese epic {{wp|Journey to the West}} and is a monkey with powerful abilities. It is also similar to the {{wp|Vanara}}, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic {{wp|Ramayana}}. It is most likely based off the martial art {{wp|Muay Thai}} which uses all the limbs and possibly {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, another type of martial arts. It may have also be loosely based on {{wp|Crazy Monkey Defense}}, a boxing style that incorporated elements from other martial arts such as Muay Thai.
====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of ''inferno'' and ''ape''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Panferno - From ''Schimpanse'' (chimpanzee) and ''inferno''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Simiabraz - From ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''braise'' (ember).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 초염몽 ''Choyeommong'
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈焰猴 ''Liè Yàn Hóu'' - "Raging flame monkey".

Indigo Plateau Conference

2010-06-05T22:54:07Z

Shady: rm defunct move proposal

The '''Indigo Plateau Conference''' (Japanese: '''セキエイ大会''' ''Sekiei Conference'') is the [[Indigo League]] general [[Pokémon League Conference|championship competition]]. It exists in the {{pkmn|anime}} and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' {{pkmn|manga}} only. It does not appear in the games.

The conference is held once a year on [[Indigo Plateau]]. Many of the Conference's ceremonies are references toward the Olympic Games.

==Events==
During the competition, the Pokémon League Village on Indigo Plateau becomes a mecca for all things [[Pokémon]]. Trainers receive free food and lodging in the village. While most League activity occurs in the Pokémon League Pavilion and on the battlefields, parades, movie theaters, and other such activities within the village keep the spectators happy when there is no battling. Additionally, there are some important ceremonial events unique to the conference.

===Opening ceremony===
The Pokémon League opening ceremony calls upon the spirit and flame of {{p|Moltres}} to ignite the fire that burns atop Indigo Stadium throughout the competition. Moltres's virtues symbolize Pokémon League competitions. The flame changes many hands, through competitors that are approved to be torch bearers. Without the flame, the competition could not begin. All competing [[Pokémon Trainer]]s gather in Indigo Stadium and the central torch is finally lit. League president [[Charles Goodshow]] addresses the trainers, and then the games begin.

===Closing ceremony===
During the closing ceremony, all trainers that competed at the conference march into Indigo Stadium one last time, and the top winning competitors are honored. Chairman Goodshow awards each trainer with a Pokémon League [[Badge]] that signifies participation in the competition. Afterwards, the stadium lights dim for a fireworks show. Moltres's flame is extinguished until the next year's competition, and all battlers and spectators return home.

===Competition===
Only certified Pokémon trainers who have acquired at least eight Indigo League Gym Badges may enter the competition. Ideally, there are around 256 competitors, with each sudden death [[Pokémon battle]] eventually eliminating all but one. The top trainer earns the title of [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]].
==Rounds==
The competition lasts for eight rounds. Four preliminary rounds span for four days, followed by two days of rest, and then the final rounds begin.
===Preliminary rounds===
In the preliminary rounds, trainers must compete on four different battlefields: {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ice}}. All matches are of three Pokémon each. The battlefield is decided by a game of chance, and the competitors are chosen randomly by computer. Only trainers who win on all four battlefields progress to the final rounds.

===Final rounds===
Final round battles take place in Indigo Stadium. All battles are [[full battle]]s, with the exception of the fifth round, which is three-on-three. Only 16 trainers make it to the final rounds. Competitors are chosen by fishing for {{p|Magikarp}} labelled with a letter and number that match that of another competitor.
==Rules and Regulations==
The Indigo League is very strict on what defines a ''battle'' and what defines a ''match''. A battle is one Pokémon against another one, and a match is made up of the individual Pokémon battles. Thus, the number of battles within a match is defined by how many Pokémon are used. The following conditions cause the Pokémon to lose the battle:
* The trainer recalls the Pokémon
* The Pokémon is knocked out, or too weak to battle
* The Pokémon falls asleep
* The Pokémon refuses to battle
==Trainers who have participated in the Indigo Plateau Conference==
The following trainers competed in just the preliminary rounds:
* [[Mandi]]
* [[Pete Pebbleman]] of [[Pewter City]]
* [[Gary Oak]] of [[Pallet Town]]
* [[Jeanette Fisher]] of [[Crimson City]]

The following trainers competed in the final rounds:
* [[Ash Ketchum]] of [[Pallet Town]]
* [[Melissa]]
* [[Ritchie]] of [[Frodomar City]]
* [[Assunta]]

===Former participants===
* [[Paul]] of [[Veilstone City]]

==Indigo Plateau Conference winning trainers==
The winning trainers are shadowed and cannot be identified.

The purpose of the template was to provide a sprite of the Pokémon that linked to its page. I had to hotlink because the Archives add those random numbers before each image name. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 14:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Stealing bandwidth is still a big no-no. We link to the name of the species near the images anyway so there isn't much need for the template. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::It's still better to have the image itself link to the page. It's annoying how images link back to the stupid useless page instead of being able to link to an actual page. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 15:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

::::I had that template once, but it was annoying in that, instead of having the image link to the page, there was text in front of the image that linked to the page. Yeah, it works, but it looks weird if you highlight it. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 15:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

== Sockpuppet ==

I believe [[User:Frazer Ketchum]] is a suckpuppet account for [[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]]. Sailor Earth has been in trouble for removing comments from peoples talk pages, and now Frazer Ketchum claiming to have hacked Sailor Earth's account. If you look at the contribution histories and talk pages of both users you will see that Frazer Ketchum has been in trouble for some of the exact same stunts Sailor Earth has been pulling. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 15:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:Frazer Ketchum should be banned for hacking Sailor Earth's account and taking the job of the admins into his own hands (by effectively banning another user). --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 15:46, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::"Effectively banning another user"? How did he manage that? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:50, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::...Dear me, this guy is trouble. I don't know if he is a sockpuppet or not but he is just asking to be blocked. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

You still have to set Sailor Earth to e-mail confirmed again. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 15:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Can I do that? It would be more sensible for Sailor Earth to get another e-mail address first anyway. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 16:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
::But we can't contact him, because he used Frazer Ketchum's e-mail to register, and he also thinks his password was changed. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 16:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

They weren't socpuppets, I was banned and and I couldn't contact the admin who blocked me because he didn't want to receive email from users so I created sailor earth 2 and wrote on the talk page it was only to discuss the block and I wasn't going to make a single edit until he said I could, it was for discussion purposes.

However I only made the one, if you look in the block log a Guardian of Earth was also blocked obviously because it was like the name Sailor Earth so SP252 thought it was a sock but it actually wasn't.

:Actually, the "Earth Guardian" name was blocked as a sock due to an obviously similar e-mail to the master "Sailor Earth" and the sock "Sailor Earth2".

Hi, I wanted to run something by you (random admin, lol :)) - it's an idea I had over a year ago and talked to some other people about, like PAKMan and others, but it was dropped and now I'm bringing it up again.
The idea was for a Bulbapedia Project about music - covering all articles about songs, CDs and musicians. The main reason I'm not sure about it is because I don't know how much there is ''to'' do, anyway... Thoughts? Do you think it's worth doing? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 12:57, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Should I be going to you for problems concerning the Hey You, Pikachu! game page? I'm a newbie, but I'd really like to do something for Bulbapedia, and Hey You, Pikachu! is about the only game I could add something big to. ...But the thing is, there's several problems I can't solve on my own, and I'm at a loss as to how I can fix this. The Manual Of Style doesn't address the issues I have... Could you hear me out, please? [[User:Neo Qwerty|Neo Qwerty]] 15:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

::Thank you very much! Firstly, there's three locations shared between Hey You, Pikachu! and Pokémon Channel. Springleaf Field and Cobalt Coast have a normal page, but Viridian Forest is like this: [[Viridian Forest (Channel)]]. How should I handle it, and what would Hey You, Pikachu!'s shortening be if I need to make another Viridian Forest page? Secondly, there's no category for Hey You, Pikachu! locations... And I'm not wiki-code-savvy enough to feel I can do it without messing up somewhere. There's also a lot of items in this game, much more than the few listed on the current Hey You, Pikachu! main page, and I could provide a line or two about each of them and their effects on Pikachu's happiness and electricity gauge. But I don't feel that the "key items" are important and unique enough to be mentionned on their own page alone, with possible exception of the PokéHelper, and I'm not sure if a list of all the Hey You, Pikachu! items would be okay... Yes, another question. Should I provide lists of all the Pokémon Pikachu can interact with in each location, and a summary of the mission for each visit to the location at a different level? And, last but not least, Bulbasaur cooks various meals during his missions in Ochre Woods, and, while you can't directly interact with them, they're tallied up at the end of the level like all the other items collected, and the various results give out different PikaPoint amounts.

:The primary problem with such a project is that not everyone agrees on one numbering scheme. When referencing overall series numbers, most people run off serebii.net's list, but there's some problems in correlation between there and here:

:#For some odd reason, [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]] and [[Snow Way Out]] are not considered episodes here; serebii.net lists them as episodes, with the numbers 65 and 66, respectively. The remaining pre-Hoenn episode numbers are two higher on serebii than here.
:#The system here has what serebii.net lists as episodes [[AG100|376]] and [[AG101|378]] as consecutive episodes; serebii.net lists [[AG101 (unaired)]] as episode 377. [[AG120|The first clip show]], which some might not consider an episode, is listed by serebii.net as episode 397.
:#[[AG171|The Ranger 1 special]] is especially tricky. Some sources, including both here and on serebii.net (there listed as episode 448), say it's one hour-long episode, while others say it's two half-hour episodes. For all intents and purposes, the Ranger 1 special should be considered one episode.
:#The DP series also includes a [[DP048|clip show]] (listed by serebii.net as episode 516) and a Ranger special. Unlike the first Ranger special, however, most sources list the Ranger 2 special as [[DP071|two half]][[DP072|-hour episodes]], listed by serebii.net as episodes 539 and 540 for each of the two parts. There's numbering controversy here as well, as a voice actor's leaked script listed as a [[DP108]] (which would fall as episode 576 in the serebii.net listings) is different from the actual [[DP108]]; odds are there's a conflict in production codes between here and the original Japanese producers, and that either the clip show isn't supposed to be counted as an episode or that the Ranger 2 special should be considered one hour-long episode like the Ranger 1 special was despite how the dub aired it.

For adding Piplup to the character roster (though it was already there, just hidden).

:I'm sorry, but there's absolutely no reason for unhiding {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. It's clearly not another {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} like you're implying. For starters, it has a Poké Ball, unlike the aformentioned Togepi as well as {{MTR}}. And it's never shown outright refusal to go inside it, quite unlike {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. There's absolutely no evidence that points that Piplup should be treated like Pikachu and Meowth, and consensus says that Piplup should be hidden, and yet you're treating Piplup like it should be unhidden for no good reason. I'm disgusted by such behavior...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

::Wow you are taking this way too seriously... Disgusted is such a strong word. What more evidence do you need huh. As I've said before and will keep saying, Piplup has gone through 50 straight episodes without an absence. That's not a good enough reason for you? You think that just because it has a Poké Ball that it means that it means it won't be in an episode after it has been confirmed in every episode since DP060. As the episode starts, where is Piplup? Is it in its Poké Ball like Wobbuffet always is? No. It's with the group either on Dawn's head or walking beside here. You act like it's most likely that Piplup won't be in the episode when it's the opposite. As I said before, we should keep it default on the roster UNTIL it is proven that it won't be in the episode. You're being fueled by your own bias that Piplup is going to evolve and that's speculation right there. Hidaka said himself that Piplup will most likely not evolve because it would look strange walking aroung with Dawn. When are you going to wake up and release that Piplup will most likely be in every episode from now on? I feel that there is a personal bias going on with you and other users that you don't like Piplup being part of the main cast so therefore you shun it, despite being in every episode since DP060. Use your common sence already... Piplup will continue to be in every episode from now on.

::And if it's proven wrong and Piplup goes into its Poké Ball again, there is a simple solution to the problem. Start hiding it again... It's not the end of the frickin world if Piplup's on the roster and then it out of the blue doesn't appear in the episode again.

I personally, and by hand, cut out those sprites from multiple Sprite Sheets found on [http://www.google.com/ Google], not Bulbapedia.

We don't have any GIFs that are in identical motion with any of yours, so you have no legal proof that those images are yours. As for giving credit?

:Woah, way to get out of hand. Please stay calm.
:I was never saying that you stole the images themselves from Bulbapedia. Stuff that's ripped from the games is anyone's content, after all. That part of my post was more to do with the fact that our naming conventions had been used. While we can't hold claim to them, it's a little upsetting to see something that Bulbapedia used developed on another site.

==Physiology for the starters==
Pokabu: "Pokabu is a pig-like Pokémon, primarily orange in coloration with the additional colors of black, pink, and yellow on various portions of its body. It has large, ovular eyes, an archetypically piglike ruddy-pink nose, and a thick stripe of yellow over its snout. Much of its face has black coloration, and its ears, long and oblong, are positioned closely together on the top of its head. Pokabu has short legs, with the extremities of its forefeet being black in coloration. There is a band of black on its lower back and rear, from which extends its coiled tail, topped with a ruddy-red bauble-like adornment." Hopefully this helps. Also, I was not sure if its extremities---farthermost portions of its limbs--- should be called hooves or paws, so I left it at "extremities".

*{{template|Avail-2}}
*{{template|Avail-3}}
*{{template|Avail-4}}
*{{template|Fiorepkmn}}
*{{template|Almiapkmn}}

== Max's Ralts ==

Did you not see what I had on that talk page? Max's Ralts IS a notable article, under the grounds that it counts as a CotD. The ENTIRE episode was focused on it. There weren't any human CotDs in that episode. I swear, is that rule going to be completely unused?

And Misty's Golduck was deleted before that rule was even thought of. It should be remade as well. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 12:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:I saw what you wrote and I know what the rule says. I likened it to Misty's Golduck as that was how the Project Anime leader Kenji-girl described it as, but a better analogy may have been Cassandra's Parasect. My main reasoning is that if the information can fit into a box on a human character's page, it is better off there. Keeping down the smaller articles in favour of fuller articles is the idea behind this policy. The only information I didn't carry across was the trivia about Wally, because that is already mentioned in Max's article. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 12:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

==Jumping the Gun a bit?==
Are you guys sure we aren't looking into this a bit too far? All we have for clues are that they announced a new game and a new *something*. Not to mention it says it's gonna be new on the DS. What's to be sure of all of that? For all we know, the new game could be MindCrystal, the silhouette could be a new Forme like the last 5 that were announced. The new game could be a wii sequel to Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness. If we can't even have Pokemon evolved editing pages when they're in the titles of episodes, why can we just up and announce a new generation? I mean, Pokebeach even said the silhouette isn't Z, what makes anyone certain it's Generation V?[[User:SLE_aman|SLE_]][[User:SLE_aman/talk|aman]] 11:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:What does Pokebeach have to do with anything? We know this is Gen V because Masuda SAID it is a new Pokémon. Nothing in this article says that this Pokémon is Z. Because we don't know that. All we know is that it is a new Pokémon. To think otherwise... well, you're in denial big time. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, technically, the RPG announcement never explicitly said it would be main series. Even though Generation V Pokémon were hinted, it was never explicitly said that it was the full-fledged generation. It also never explicitly said it would be a pair, either. There are RPGs other than the main series, and they could use a side-series RPG to give Generation V-based cameos to increase anticipation for the full-fledged generation to come at a later date (much like Mystery Dungeon 1 did). Recent announcements pretty much excludes the possibility of it being a Ranger 4, but it's still possible that it could be a Mystery Dungeon 5 or something completely different than anything we've seen before. My [[$1|2¢]]: Odds are the TBA 2010 thing is not for the full-fledged Generation V. Especially if the RPG announcement turns out to be for a single. They've faked us out before, and even if the silhouette does turn out legitimate, it's probably still too early to be thinking full-fledged Generation V. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Actually, I've seen a subb'ed version. Masuda specifically said "We're working on a new generation of pokémon" --[[User:Camzoman]]
::::Yeah. And nowhere in that did it explicitly say that was the TBA 2010 project. They can be working on a new generation of Pokémon, yet still announce and release side games relating mainly to the previous generation. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Camzoman, where exactly did you see this subbed version? I did not hear Masuda mention a "new generation" anywhere in the video - what he said was "we're developing a brand-new work for Pokemon." However, I don't think there's any denying at this point that it is indeed the new generation. The [http://www.corocoro.tv/pokerelease/index.html Corocoro site] doesn't seem to be implying that this is a side game (not that Game Freak makes side games to begin with). It's a new version(s), with a new setting, new Pokemon, new features... sounds like a new generation to me. :/ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 19:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

== Generation V Pokémon Infobox, anyone? ==

I know you'll probably all find this pointless, but I decided to throw together a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenV|temporary infobox]] to use for the Generation V Pokémon articles. It's basically a stripped-down version of the regular infobox that leaves out all the fields for any technical stuff (Egg groups, EXP yield, Gender ratios, etc.) that's unlikely to be revealed until ''Pokémon V'' comes out later this year. I also created a [[User:Quagbert/Z (Pokémon)|user-subpage for the silhouetted mystery Pokémon]] that uses a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenVNoncat|non-categorizing version]] of this template.

Alright, these two Pokémon have been offically confirmed by the leaked CoroCoro scans, but apparently it's still considered too early to put up the Bulbapedia articles for them. Is there some additional form of conformation that we're waiting for?

== New Pokémon template ==

Based partly on the {{template|DP episode}} template, I've decided to make a [[Template:NewPokémon|new Pokémon template]] to use the next time a new Pokémon is revealed. The code would go like this:
<pre>
{{subst:NewPokémon|main|Jp. Katakana name|Romanized Jp. name|
typen= (number of types) |
type1= (first type) |
type2= (second type) |
pron= (name's pronunciation) |
jspecies= (species in Japanese) |
species= (species, aka "____ Pokémon")
image= (filename of image) |
caption= (caption for said image) |
height-m= (height in meters) |
weight-kg= (weight in kilograms) |
prev= (previous Pokémon's (i.e. pre-evolution) name, Arceus by default) |
prevnum= (previous Pokémon's National Dex #, 493 by default) |
next= (next Pokémon's (i.e. evolved form) name, Bulbasaur by default) |
nextnum= (next Pokémon's National Dex #, 001 by default) |
}}
</pre>
Those who want to use this template for their own userspace should replace "main" in the top line with "user", so that those user sub-pages aren't categorized with the genuine Pokémon articles in the main space. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 01:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

== Take away part in introduction ==

It says that it is unknown whether the new games will be contemporaneous with any of the other games. I beg to differ. Pokemon Sunday officially stated that Zoroark lives in a "New Area". Or is it just saying that it is unknown whether it will be possible to travel to another region? Spenfen

I can guess that the Grass Type is a Bird of Parodise Pokemon, as in the plant 'Bird of Parodise,' and also they had already done Bird based starters for [[Torchic|Fire]] and [[Piplup|Water]], and not yet Grass. If this could be true when revealed, then it will certainly complete the Bird Starters just like the Lizard Starters of [[Treeko|Grass]],[[Charmander|Fire]] and [[Totodile|Water]].
The Fire Type could may as well be a piglet for it's curley tail, and the Water Type could be another Amphibian Pokemon like [[Mudkip]]. These are just guesses, but what do you think? [[User:Cynthia149]] 17:07, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

: Dogs are in the same family as wolves. Canis Lupus, the dog is only further distinguished by Canis Lupis familiaris.

The only difference is Foxes are further classified as "Vulpine" and if we follow suit, dogs/wolves would be Lupine not Canine. And it did say some foxes (while not true foxes) could still be under the Canis Genus if that's where the Canine name comes from.

== On the use of unconfirmed information ==

<strike>We seem to have taken a whole bunch of unconfirmed information as fact here, and as it's generally not Bulbapedia policy to do so, it somewhat bothers me.

For the record, here is a list of information, much of which has been added to Bulbapedia, that I have not seen in the CoroCoro pages or any other official source (though if you have official sources with this that I have missed, please, by all means, link me):
*The name "Tsutaaja," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Grass-type
*The name "Pokabu," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Fire-type
*The name "Mijumaru," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Water-type
*"Hiun City"
*Zoroark's ability, "Illusion"
*Those two new attacks whose names I can't be bothered to remember right now (Trickery and Claw Sharpen or something?)
*The method by which to obtain Zoroark
I have seen ''none'' of this come from official sources, only from fansites, blogs, and forums. (Hell, I could have sworn that I saw some of this in a 2ch speculation thread back in March.) The justification to their validity seems to be that the random anonymous person who posted this information on 2ch was right about other information before it was leaked, so he must be right now - but that reasoning hasn't been enough in past cases, has it?

I really wish we had kept the above-mentioned facts off of Bulbapedia until they were confirmed, but here they are. I personally think they should be removed (and the starters' pages moved into TTE's userspace or something) until they are confirmed, but a reasonable compromise, I think, would be to tag all articles that mention this information with an "unconfirmed" tag of some sort (I seem to remember a template for one, though I can't find it now...).

:Already a page on Bulbanews. Also, since it's breaking news, admins, may not have had time to add it in. [[User:ShinyPikachu|Shiny]][[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] 18:03, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:If anyone's interested, I have userspace draft articles for [[User:Quagbert/Reshiram|Reshiram]] and [[User:Quagbert/Zekrom|Zekrom]]. I just made them as draft articles since I'm not sure if it's appropriate yet to put them in the mainspace, but when it is, any admin is free to move them (or give me the OK to do so). [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 20:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:I may as well mention that {{user|Jello}} also has draft articles as well: [[User:Jello/Sandbox/Reshiram (Pokémon)|Reshiram]], [[User:Jello/Sandbox/Zekrom (Pokémon)|Zekrom]] [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 20:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
::Hi, I'm new here, but I just wanted to add a little bit of information about the names, if it hasn't been done already. In Reshiram's name, the shiramu (シラム) comes from [http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=%E7%99%BD%E3%82%80&stype=0&dtype=0 shiramu (白む)] which means "turning white" or "growing light". In Zekrom's name, the kuromu (クロム) comes from [http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=%E9%BB%92%E3%82%80&stype=0&dtype=0 kuromu (黒む)] which means "turning black" or "tinged with darkness". They're used especially with regards to the sky, for example, "the sky grows light at dawn" or "the sky is tinged with darkness at night". Hope that helps a little. [[User:AmaranthSparrow|AmaranthSparrow]] 01:31, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
:::Oh, and just speculating, but the Re- and Ze- could come from rei (レイ) and zero (ゼロ), two pronunciations of rei (零), which obviously means "zero". [[User:AmaranthSparrow|AmaranthSparrow]] 01:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
::::How come nobody's yet made the articles for Reshiram and Zekrom yet? And yet people who DO create articles at strange names to get around it, they just get deleted.

Spiky-eared Pichu

Shady: /* Trivia */ always female, so it -> she

'''Spiky-Eared Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ギザみみピチュー''' ''Gizamimi Pichu'') is a female {{p|Pichu}}. Her physical appearance is no different from an ordinary Pichu, other than the three spikes at the tip of her left ear, hence her name.

==In the anime==
[[File:Notched ear pichu trailer.PNG|thumb|left|220px|{{AP|Pikachu}} with Spiky-Eared Pichu]]
The Spiky-Eared Pichu appeared in the movie ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' as [[Damos]]'s friend. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Damos]] to escape from their jail cell after they were imprisoned by [[Marcus]].

She was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview when movie director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."

She also has an [[Get Fired up, Spiky-Eared Pichu!|ending]] dedicated to her. This ending displays her love for [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

===Moves used===
{{anmu/h|electric|row=3|align=center|move=Iron Tail|pic=Pichu Iron Tail.png}}
{{anmu|electric|ThunderShock|M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}
{{anmu|steel|Iron Tail|M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}
{{anmu/f|electric|no}}

==In the games==
She appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} as an event Pokémon obtained in [[Ilex Forest]]. She will appear and join the player's party if the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] is brought to the shrine as the first Pokémon in the party. She has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolve, she is identical to a normal Pichu in terms of stats. Her maximum stats for the [[Pokéathlon]] are different from a regular Pichu. Interestingly, however, her base stats do not differ from a normal Pichu's; the same trend occurs with most other Pokémon with multiple forms which share their base stats, such as {{p|Rotom}} or {{p|Arceus}}. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on it, it will have a spiky ear.

{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprites for Spiky-Eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it remains unknown if this special Pichu has the 1 in 8192 chance of being shiny like all other Pokémon encountered in the wild. It is possible that the data was only included, as in the case of {{type2|???}} Arceus, to prevent the game from crashing if someone was to hack the game, or by default due to every other form difference having both normal and shiny forms despite availability of these Pokémon as shiny.
[[File:Double Pichu battle HGSS.png|thumb|Spiky-Eared Pichu and [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] in a double battle]]
If taken to [[Professor Elm]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}. Elm claims that he and [[Professor Oak]] were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and claims that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason it cannot evolve is because it has been time traveling for so long. He will then call all the [[Pokémon Center]] attendants to prevent Spiky-Eared Pichu from being used in trades.

==Trivia==
* A picture of a [[Pikachu short]] poster that featured Spiky-Eared Pichu alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
* Spiky-Eared Pichu's inability to be traded outside of HeartGold and SoulSilver can be explained as being preventative of trading an alternate form to a game in which it does not appear, as happens in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver when entering the trade center with {{p|Rotom}} in an appliance, {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, or {{p|Shaymin}} in its Sky Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-Eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, she is ultimately unable to be traded at all.
* Spiky-Eared Pichu's sprite in HeartGold and SoulSilver is in a different pose than that of a normal Pichu, but she retains the two frames that a normal Pichu uses in her animation; thus, she is the first and only Pokémon to have more than one frame other than its standard pose in its animation since {{v2|Crystal}}.

'''Tower Tycoon Palmer''' (Japanese: '''タワータイクーンクロツグ''' ''Tower Tycoon Kurotsugu'') is the leader of the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and the Frontier Brain of the same facility in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the games==
He is {{ga|Barry}}'s father. Palmer is very similar to his son in look and character, as he's always in a rush. Just like the {{player}} and Barry did, he once went to a lake with the player's father, got his [[starter Pokémon]] there, and was attacked by [[wild Pokémon]].

=====First battle=====
Before the battle: 
''"Hi! My name's Palmer. I remember you from when you were in [[Twinleaf Town|Twinleaf]], [[Player character|[name]]]. You were always playing with my son {{ga|Barry|[name]}}, right? You’ve grown up since then, and most impressively, too! So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me the skill you've acquired as a Trainer!"

*After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! One day, I imagine my son will come challenge me just as you have. That’s something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled the very same way your father did. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"

=====Second battle=====
Before the battle: 
''"So, you've come this so far! As the Tower Tycoon, I'll have to give you my best effort. That's how the best Trainers show respect to each other. By Battling all out as dedicated students of Pokémon!"

After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! It brings back a memory of that day long ago... I went out to the lake with your father that day... We were attacked by a wild Pokémon. We fended it off, but I don't recall how. It was that desperate. That was my first step as a Trainer. I wonder if the professor is doing well? ...That's enough reminiscing. My young friend, the world and your future hold infinite promise. Go on, you can be all that you desire! There is no limit to where you can go!"

=====First Battle=====
Before the battle: 
''"Hi! My name's Palmer. I heard a lot about you. You are [[Player character|[name]]] from [[New Bark Town]], right? You are much younger than I thought. So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me what you've learned through battles with Trainers!"

After the battle: 
''"I have no problem losing to a spectacular trainer like you!"

''"Bravo! I imagine many great Trainers will come to challenge me as you have just done. That's something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"

''"I have no problem losing to a spectacular trainer like you!"

''"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! My young friend, the world and your future hold infinite promise. The spirits of people and Pokemon call for each other in resonance. The resulting bond is finitely strong! Go on, you can be all that you desire! There is no limit to where you can go!"

==In the anime==
[[File:Palmeranime.png|thumb|275px|left|Palmer in the anime]]
Palmer has a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in a battle against [[Cynthia]]. He made his debut appearance in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' where he meets up with his son, {{an|Barry}}.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', a tournament was held in order to see which {{pkmn|Trainer}} was strong enough to battle him. Ash won the tournament and had his battle with Palmer. Even though Ash lost the battle, Palmer still gave him a trophy as recognition for winning the tournament.

Palmer later told Ash about the next gym being at [[Sunyshore City]] and hinted about the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore Gym]], [[Volkner]].

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Palmer's known Pokémon in the anime:

{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Palmer
|pkmn=Rhyperior
|type1=Ground
|type2=Rock
|img=Rhyperior anime.png
|epnum=DP141
|epname=Challenging a Towering Figure!
|desc=After winning the Twinleaf Festival's annual tournament, Ash was given, as well as a trophy, the chance to battle Palmer in an exhibition match. The match was one-on-one and Palmer chose his powerhouse {{p|Rhyperior}} to battle. In response, Ash chose {{AP|Grotle}} as he realized that Palmer would be ready to counter his normal strategy of using speed attacks and decided to focus on power instead.

Rhyperior proved to be a very tough opponent, being able to withstand Grotle's attacks due to its [[ability]] and giving the Grove Pokémon a very tough time. However the tables seemed to turn when Rhyperior forced Grotle to swallow an {{m|Energy Ball}}, giving it a major power boost. Using this Grotle was able to cause significant damage to Rhyperior, but Grotle was simply unable to stand up to the massive attack power of Rhyperior and was defeated.

Rhyperior's known attacks are {{m|Rock Polish}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Rock Wrecker}} and its ability is {{a|Solid Rock}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|pkmn=Dragonite

|epname=Challenging a Towering Figure!
|desc=Palmer's {{p|Dragonite}} has only made a brief appearance in the anime. In its scene it only appeared to help announce Palmer's arrival in [[Twinleaf Town]] when he arrived for the annual festival. Nothing is known about Dragonite's attacks.

{{TrainerPoké

Milotic's known attacks are {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Palmer is described as a very skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who passed some of his abilities on to his son, {{adv|Pearl}}. However, he left Twinleaf Town a few years before Pearl's journey began and even Pearl does not know Palmer's current location.

Palmer has recently appeared in the Platinum chapter where he, along with his son's friend {{adv|Platinum}}, head off to the [[Distortion World]].

==Trivia==
* Palmer is the only Trainer to be animated in Platinum in his appearance at the end of the battle (his hair and coattails blow in the "wind").
* Palmer's battle music in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} is the same as [[Cynthia]]'s battle theme. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it changes to match the other four [[Frontier Brains]].
** Interestingly, he was battling Cynthia herself in his first anime appearance, in the cameo at the beginning of the twelfth movie.
* Palmer's hair is vaguely similar to that of the final Sinnoh Gym Leader, [[Volkner]].
