ShallowShaddoll: /* "It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares." */

Added {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Roar of Time}} to the learnset to refer to the 10th Movie Giveaway in Japan. -[[User:Coffee|Chosen]] 7/17/07

Got rid of the note that players should not save in the Mystery Zone. You can not save in the Mystery Zone because the menu doesn't work in the Mystery Zone.
-[[User:Vereux0|Vereux0]] 8/3/07

Added a note on how Darkrai seems to want to meet the player. Felt it worth mentioning, as it does say somehting about Darkrai's intelligence.-[[User:Featherflame|Featherflame]] 8/9/07

I added that the [[Lunar Wing]] is said in D/P to be the only thing that can wake people up from Darkrai's nightmares. Something vaguely similar to this is stated in the Lunar Wing article, so it's up to your judgment whether to leave it or not. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== Ooooo...SaTaN ==

Okay, I'm close to coming down hard on whoever put that thing about Satan in there. If somebody thinks Darkrai is a Satanic Pokémon, they can keep it to themselves. It's fan-made CRAP and it has no place on Bulbapedia. That is the only evidence to support it is probably coincidental. Going by this thinking, any Pokémon that can learn [[Pursuit]] is "Satanic," and {{p|Politoed}} can learn [[Pursuit]]! Jeez, people! Keep it on the forum! -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 00:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I can understand people mistaking Giratina as a "Devil" becuase of the "666" crap, but Darkrai? That's taking it too far. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I put in the fact that Drakai can't be traded on the GTS. :)
-[[User:IshiiSachiko|IshiiSachiko]]
:No offense, but I removed it. Not every Darkrai will have a Classic Ribbon, just like how not every Darkrai will have a normal ribbon like a Cool Contest Ribbon. The Classic Ribbon isn't a ''part'' of Darkrai, and it's possible for it not to have it (for example, the Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]] has no Classic Ribbon).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 02:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I edited the trivia to reflect what the UK Darkrai Event was.

== Pronounciation ==

If you don't know spanish, then you'll not get what I want to say.
In Japanese, the name is read (written in spanish pronounciation) <sc>Daakuráy</sc>, so the name will be correctly pronounced "<sc>Dark-rráy</sc>". But the english pronounciation is "<sc>Dárk-rrey</sc>", which is not correct. I don't know how to write down a well pronounced "Darkrai" in english.

== DarkRai Name Origin and Character Design ==

"rai" pronounced ''rye'' is hindi for king. From wikipedia : "Rai is a historical title of honour in India[...]It is derived from Raja (king, prince or chief)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_(Indian)

Hence, this plays into the character background and design. First, the character has a design of a Medieval Count. Second, the character has a mystical, other worldly, spiritual yet fantastical quality to it that can be seen in Indian stories.
Also, to an above post, the "Rey" in spanish might have the same etymological roots as "Rai".[[User:ZoroFan|ZoroFan]] ([[User talk:ZoroFan|talk]]) 03:07, 15 February 2013

Also, Darkrai might be based on the Cthulhian stories of other-dimensional beings that would cause onlookers to spiral into deep madness. Given that the generation Darkrai was released in dealt with other dimensional Pokemon, just like itself, it seems likely that the Darkrai aspect of causing debilitating nightmares was likely a shout-out to the Lovecraftian legacy.[[User:ZoroFan|ZoroFan]] ([[User talk:ZoroFan|talk]]) 03:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

== Added origin ==

I was browsing through wikipedia about Morpheus and I discovered that there were other dream deities, Like Phobetor the God of Nightmare
here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobetor

so would it be ok to put this in the origin section of the trivia?

== " It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times" ==

What does that mean? It says " It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times". Anything can go around objects several times. Can we please elaborate this? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

==possible inspiration==
I haven’t seen this talked about before, but I think that darkrai May be inspired by the nocnitsa of Slavic folklore. Here are some similarities I noticed:

-both can cause nightmares

-both can be warded off by having a certain object nearby while you are asleep (noctitsa can be warded off with a stone ring, while darkrai is warded off with the lunar wing. )

-they have some visual similarities
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as having grey hair, while darkrai has a white plume of ghostly fog that resembles hair emanating from its head
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as levitating and having no legs, while darkrai is mostly seen floating with its legs retracted
•nocnitsa is commonly portrayed as wearing a tattered dress, whilst darkrais body slightly resembles a dress, with the spiky part at the bottom of its torso resembling a ripped cloak or gown.

=="It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares."==

He outright '''is''' referring to Darkrai, there's nothing to assume about it; the game literally spells the dialogue from him out as "DAR... DARK...is watching...me..." "DAR/DARK" is in FULL CAPS, as was the case with all Pokemon Names during the timeframe of Gen IV. All Proper Nouns in the game are referred to with standard capitalization. Only Pokemon names were still written in ALL CAPS, and no other Pokemon at the time had the exact typing of "DARK" included as part of their name.

=="Mega Darkrai and the Evil Eye."==

Mega Darkrai is likely based on the [[wikipedia:Evil eye|Evil eye]]. It fits Darkrai's whole nightmare curse gimmick, and since people used to carry amulets against it, the connection with the Lunar Wing also works [[User:ShallowShaddoll|ShallowShaddoll]] ([[User talk:ShallowShaddoll|talk]]) 11:41, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Darkrai''' using the [[Darkranite]]. Mega Darkrai was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007. It and {{p|Cresselia}} are often collectively referred to as the [[lunar duo]] by fans, and it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. Darkrai plays a central role in [[Mega Dimension]], serving as one of the key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Darkrai legs ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|Darkrai's extendable legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. Darkrai generally stays afloat in the air and does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages similar to legs and stand on the ground. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

Darkrai resides in [[Newmoon Island]], where it is active during the new moon or moonless nights. Its main ability is to {{m|Dark Void|lull people to sleep and make them experience horrible nightmares}}. However, it is not intentionally malicious and only does this to as an act of self-defense or to chase [[Human|people]] and Pokémon away from its territory. One time, Darkrai caused an entire village to experience nightmares, with the villagers having reported seeing it in their dreams. It is [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] while inside dreams. As seen in ''[[DP101|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'', Darkrai not only creates nightmares, but is also attracted to them. Only Darkrai's counterpart, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cresselia}}, or one of its [[Lunar Feather]]s, can cure those afflicted by its power. It's also possible to fend off Darkrai's nightmares by combining [[Snorlax (Sleep)|Snorlax]]'s Drowsy Power with Cresselia's own. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it has attempted to use Dark Void while it is asleep, perhaps because it cannot contain its overflowing power.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The relationship between Darkrai and Cresselia can vary between different individuals and [[canon]]s, with some depicting it as antagonistic (''Sleepless In Pre-Battle!'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]), while others portray it as cooperative (''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'').

In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Darkrai was shown to be capable of speech through telepathy. In the same movie, it is revealed to be capable of flying at high speeds and becoming a shadow in order to escape danger or avoid humans. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai can use an ability called Dark Power, in which it opens a large black portal on the ground to either trap people and Pokémon in a world of total darkness (referred to as Dark Void) or teleport them somewhere else. Darkrai's capacity to cause nightmares can be enhanced by absorbing tons of [[Mega Power]], creating a mélange of subconscious thoughts and memories from people and Pokémon, as seen with [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. If this isn't stopped, however, it will expand and cause distortions to appear in the real world. This also makes it lose control of itself and harms it to the point of triggering [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. The [[Eureka Seed]] can bring out the full power of Darkrai.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning and using the move {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Bad Dreams}} as an [[Ability]].

[[File:Mega Darkrai Hidden Eye.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Darkrai's hidden eye]]
Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Darkrai.

When Mega-Evolved, Darkrai's entire body doubles in length and becomes almost five times heavier. Its upper body grows larger and more spherical, while its arms transform into long tentacles that gyrate. Six similar, wispy, swirling tatters protrude from it: five extend from the back, and one appears on the chest. From the longer, tattered skirt, two long, swirling legs emerge. Darkrai's ghostly plume lengthens, becoming pointier, with two locks on each side. The left eye is obscured by this "hair", revealing the right eye, which has an eerie hot pink hue. The previously red growth around its neck has turned black and now features eight new triangular shapes—three small triangles on two parallel sides and one large triangle on the opposite sides. In between these shapes, eight thin, white, vein-like lines appear. Darkrai can now open and close the neck growth when it retracts its head. When exposed, the growth appears dark gray and glows in shades from magenta to dark red as the head is retracted. Mega Darkrai hovers horizontally with its head pointing forward. From this angle, the new appendages, triangles, and lines resemble a vile eye with twisting spikes. When the head disappears, Mega Darkrai's neck reveals a white pupil and blue iris, which, combined with the magenta color change, creates an unsettling resemblance to a demonic eye.

Thanks to Mega Evolution, Darkrai's nightmare powers have significantly increased, to the point where it can block out the Sun and cast the entire area into total darkness. This allows it to seamlessly blend into its surroundings and disappear into the shadows. It is said that no one can escape the gaze of Mega Darkrai's large, menacing eye, which it can use for attacks. Mega Darkrai can create copies of itself to surround foes before attacking them with dark energy.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]] and {{p|Dialga}}'s corruption into [[Primal Dialga]] in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark. When the Dark Vortex threatens to destroy both [[dimension]]s, Darkrai sacrifices himself to stop it, but is later brought back by {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} during the post-game.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Darkrai is the final boss, summoned by [[Blake Hall]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]: [[Mega Dimension]]: [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare#Special encounters|Darkrai]] is the main antagonist and the final boss of the DLC. About 6 months before the events of the game, Darkrai wandered into [[Lumiose City|Lumiose]] and settled on top of [[Prism Tower]] to stay away from everyone down below. As a result, however, it got exposed to all the [[Mega Power]] leaking from [[Ange]], causing its nightmare powers to be enhanced and go out of control. This created a [[dimension]] composed of the subconcious thoughts and memories of the people and Pokémon of Lumiose, which came to be known as [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. After the creation of hyperspace, Darkrai hid in one of its pockets, one that takes the form of [[Newmoon Island]], [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], accessable through the giant distortion above Prism Tower.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Darkrai (M10)]]=====
Darkrai debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the [[Space-Time Towers]] music player to calm the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Darkrai (recurring)====
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', where it was a target of [[Matori]] and the [[Matori Matrix]], along with {{OBP|Cresselia|recurring}}.

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, and its Ability is {{a|Bad Dreams}}.

=====Other=====
Darkrai made its animated series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in ''The Rise of Darkrai'', this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by {{TRT}}'s machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] using only Darkrai. In the [[Sinnoh League]] semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and {{TP|James|Inkay}} visited a Darkrai courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', a Darkrai was the source of {{AP|Pikachu}}, Meowth, and [[Squishy]]'s nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends.

====Minor appearances====
A Darkrai appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}

In ''[[PS302|Phew for Mew]]'', [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in an attempt to recapture {{adv|Deoxys}}. When {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attack collided with the beam, it caused {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} to turn to stone. In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', the beam was revealed to have been Darkrai. In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', Sird was revealed to have {{pkmn2|released}} it into the [[Distortion World]], where it clashed with [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} and was briefly controlled by [[Charon]]. After escaping from {{p|Giratina}}'s realm, it left to parts unknown.

In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep. ''

'''PAl''': ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.''

==Trivia==
* Darkrai's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 2 {{stat|Special Attack}} and 1 {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in both {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the {{player}} cures him of his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, as well as {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Darkrai is the only non-{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon capable of traveling through walls and all other terrain types without the All-Terrain Hiker [[IQ#IQ Sill|IQ skill]].
* Despite being a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, the {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky is referred to as a [[Gender|male]].
* Mega Darkrai is tied with Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for having the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Dread Plate]].

===Origin===
Darkrai appears to be the personification of {{wp|nightmare}}s, bearing resemblance to folklore creatures such as the {{wp|mare (folklore)|mare}} and other {{wp|night hag}}s. Similarly, some types of {{wp|jinn}}s are also associated with nightmares and {{wp|sleep paralysis}}. It may also draw some inspiration from sleep deities and/or personifications, such as {{wp|Morpheus}}.

Darkrai's appearance is that of a {{wp|ghost}}ly {{wp|shadow person|shadow}}, likely inspired by some popular descriptions of {{wp|bogeyman}} as a dark and formless figure. It may also be inspired by common hallucinations of shadowy figures during sleep paralysis episodes. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai also appears to represent the {{wp|new moon}}.

Darkrai shares some similarities with the {{wp|nocnitsa}} from Slavic folklore, a type of evil spirit that often torments children with nightmares, gradually draining their life energy. Its physical appearance has many distinct depictions, some of which strongly resemble Darkrai—the most notable ones being: disheveled white hair, a body made out of shadows, and the absence of legs. Furthermore, in some regions it's said the nocnitsa can be stopped if one possesses a knife or a stone with a hole, similar to how a [[Lunar Feather]] can dispel Darkrai's nightmares.

Given its fabric-like texture in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and long and stilt-like legs, Darkrai appears to be inspired by a {{wp|scarecrow}}, forming a contrast to {{p|Cresselia}}'s bird-like design.

The black markings around its eyes could be seen to resemble eyebags, which could be caused by a lack of sleep resulting from nightmares.

Mega Darkrai seems to take inspiration from a [[wp:Beholder_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)|beholder]], a fantasy creature commonly depicted as a floating sphere with a big eyeball and tendrils that may contain other, smaller eyes. Given its powers over darkness that can cover the sun, it might also be based on a [[wp:Solar_eclipse|solar eclipse]]. It is also probably inspired by {{wp|Amatsu-Mikaboshi}}, the evil god of stars in Japanese mythology, whose name means "August Star of Heaven" or "Dread Star of Heaven", which explained its resemblance to a giant star. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a [[wp:Human_eye|human eye]], with the main body as the eye itself, the tendrils [[wp:Conjunctiva|blood vessels of the conjunctiva]], and the legs the [[wp:Optic_nerve|optic nerve]], likely referencing the [[wikipedia:Evil Eye|Evil Eye]]. This optical form, and the changing of the exposed eye on Darkrai's true face, could be in reference to the sacrifice of an eye by the Norse god [[wp:Odin|Odin]], who gave one of his eyes up to drink from a fountain which gave him great knowledge.

====Name origin====
Darkrai may be a combination of ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark).

She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular content creator and streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Dot and Friede.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot meeting Friede for the first time]]
Dot grew up with her mother, [[Franka]], and has known her uncle, [[Murdock]], for a long time. Eventually, she became a popular video streamer known online as Nidothing, inspired by {{an|Iono}}, with whom she would form a friendship as her online career took off.

As revealed in ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', sometime before the events of the series, Dot struggled to find inspiration for her content, as she lacked the personal experience to properly discuss the topics she covered. One day, she met [[Friede]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] and friend of Murdock, who asked if she could develop an app for his band of adventurers, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Dot initially refused, but words of advice from Iono led her not only to accomplish Friede's request, but also to join his group on the [[Brave Olivine]], allowing her to go out and see what the world could offer, on the condition that she would have to return home if her mother felt she had been away for too long.

During her time on the Brave Olivine, Dot befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that started making appearances on her streams.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dot and Ludlow picnic.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Ludlow having fun on a picnic]]
Dot, as Nidothing, debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly.

She debuted as herself in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], while Liko came to visit after Dot rebuffed her for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme from behind Dot's door and assumed Dot also enjoyed watching Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but was caught off guard upon hearing Dot abruptly shouting about something, leaving Liko confused. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko flustered that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making Dot feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', as soon as Liko arrived in Paldea, Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot laundering her Nidothing costume while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[picnic]]s, she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow, but Liko once again failed to make the connection. Ludlow and Friede decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when the Rising Volt Tacklers noticed Liko had been absent for a while, Dot pointed their search towards [[Artazon]], where sightings of a girl with a {{p|Sprigatito}} had been reported online; this, however, was only misinformation created by [[Spinel]] to delay them. Quickly after realizing this, Dot reached out for {{an|Iono}} in order to collab with her and reach a larger audience to search for Liko. Her plan was a success, as Liko was found in Levincia, but Iono suddenly turned this into a game of tag, leading the girl to run away. Now, with the Rising Volt Tacklers heading towards the right place, Dot asked Friede to take her there as well, partnering up with Quaxly in the process. In Levincia, using information from Iono's livestream, Dot and Roy were able to predict where Liko would be and reunited with her; in the process, Dot finally met Roy and Liko in person, after only communicating with them from inside her room.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot {{pkmn2|caught}} Quaxly as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] and officially became a Pokémon Trainer. Following this, the Rising Volt Tacklers started looking around Levincia for Liko's pendant, which had been taken by Spinel. Dot, Liko, and Roy split up when {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] begun glowing, as this meant the pendant was nearby. She and Quaxly found their way to a docked cargo ship, where they were ambushed by a {{p|Beheeyem}} and a {{p|Magneton}}. They held their ground and, despite the signal being jammed, managed to alert Liko and Roy to their location with a clever use of {{m|Water Gun}}. The three of them engaged in battle against Spinel's Pokémon, with this being Dot's first-ever battle, but they were quickly defeated once their opponent unleashed his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this loss, they were able to retrieve the pendant, which reacted with Liko's strong emotions, and made their escape with Arboliva. Later that night, encouraged by Quaxly, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing.
[[File:Dot and Tinkatink.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot catches her second Pokémon in Tinkatink]]
In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Dot's microphone broke down during a Nidothing livestream. She, Liko, and Roy went on a trip to [[Steelbound Town]], where she purchased a replacement microphone and another to use as a prop. After getting separated from the others, Dot came across a wild {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} failing to take a man's hammer. To Dot's surprise, Tinkatink stole the prop microphone and immediately began working it into a new hammer. Later, Tinkatink climbed aboard the Brave Olivine in order to show Dot the hammer she made, only to be blamed for destroying the ship's supply of iron materials. The true culprit was a wild {{p|Orthworm}}, which Dot managed to defeat and drive off with Quaxly and Tinkatink's help. Upon realizing that Tinkatink wanted to stay with her, Dot accepted her wish and used a {{i|Poké Ball}} Quaxly gave her to catch her. Later, Dot introduced Tinkatink to her viewers in a livestream, only to nearly have her identity exposed when Tinkatink tried to steal the zipper off her Nidothing costume.
[[File:Dot and Franka.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Franka]]
In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot's mother [[Franka]] came aboard the Brave Olivine, intending to take Dot home with her. Worried for how Dot felt about the situation, Liko and Roy asked her to tell them about how she came aboard the Brave Olivine. Later, when Franka realized her daughter had become a Trainer, she challenged Dot to a battle, much to the latter's confusion. During their battle, Dot conveyed to Franka how much she had grown as a person after joining the Rising Volt Tacklers. Her determination to win allowed Quaxly to learn {{m|Low Kick}} and defeat Franka's {{p|Lycanroc}}. Afterward, Dot asked if she could end the trial period and become a permanent member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which Franka readily agreed to.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the Explorers used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts paid off, but after Dot shut the machine down, [[Coral]] lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Dot, Roy, Liko, and Friede challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Quaxly combined its strength with Sprigatito to launch attacks, but was quickly taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}, leaving Dot unable to help with the rest of the battle. Eventually, only Liko and Roy were left, but, despite the best efforts of their Pokémon, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. Later, Dot, Liko, and Roy decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] module. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling a selected [[Gym Leader]] as part of their basic aptitude test—in Dot's case, Iono was chosen as her opponent.

The group arrived in Levincia for her test in ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', where they reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers and Iono. Right before a rehearsal match, Dot learned that Iono planned on streaming the upcoming test, resulting in her feeling anxious and being unable to properly focus on the battle, to which the Gym Leader offered that she could battle as Nidothing instead. Later, Dot hosted a Nidothing livestream touring through Levincia, though Liko and Quaxly were keen to notice that she seemed to be forcing herself to act cheerful. When asked if she was truly okay with taking the test as Nidothing, Dot snapped, insisting her decision was final, only for the conversation to be interrupted by a wild {{p|Varoom}} accidentally running off with the Nidothing costume. Dot chased after the Pokémon to the middle of the city and, despite being surrounded by onlookers and cameras, was able to overcome her anxiety, allowing her to effectively issue commands for Quaxly to defeat Varoom and retrieve the costume.

Dot's battle against Iono began in the [[HZ050|following episode]]. Despite having studied her opponent's {{p|Bellibolt}} beforehand, Dot still struggled against the more experienced Pokémon, but she still managed to take advantage of an unexpected situation by Terastallizing Quaxly during a power outage, allowing him to damage his opponent while Iono's attention was elsewhere. Once the power was restored, however, Iono retaliated, Terastallizing her Bellibolt and defeating Quaxly with a supereffective move. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond got improved.
[[File:Dot and Penny.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and Penny]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the Gym Leaders they battled for their basic aptitude tests. Dot and Iono went up against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Copperajah|Rajah}} and {{p|Tinkaton|Tinkie}} and, despite a initial struggle, managed to get the upper hand due to Dot's quick thinking: while her Quaxly Terastallized to distract Tinkie, Iono's Bellibolt defeated Rajah with an {{a|Electromorphosis}}-boosted {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the battle by default. In the [[HZ056|following episode]], Dot took care of Terapagos while Liko had her battle. At some point, the {{pkmn|category|Tera Pokémon}} wandered off, and she chased it to the academy's library, where she met [[Penny]] and learned that [[Chalce|Chive]] had somehow been registered as a teacher without Penny's knowing. After a brief encounter with Chive, Dot discovered and took out a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]], which Terapagos took an interest in.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Medali]]'s {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, where they met [[Larry]], the Gym Leader that Dot would have to battle for her Tera Training usage test. Despite her best tactics, the battle was not in her favor, with Larry managing to defeat Tinkatink and {{status|paralyze}} Quaxly while keeping both of his Pokémon. After realizing Quaxly had been imitating the movements of other Pokémon throughout the battle, Dot told him to incorporate those movements into his attacks, allowing him to deal a series of blows on {{p|Staraptor}}, which was the push necessary for Quaxly to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}. Dot followed it up with a Terastallization, but the paralysis persisted, leaving Quaxwell wide open to be defeated by his opponent. Although she lost, Larry praised Dot's ingenuity during the battle and awarded her a passing review.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Dot was contacted by Penny during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], who informed her that someone on the inside was hacking into the academy's system. They quickly came to the conclusion that the Explorers, through Chalce, were trying to steal information about Terapagos. In order for the tournament to not be interrupted, they kept this under wraps and tried to solve it themselves, with Dot asking Liko and Roy for help to look out for the Explorers. Dot managed to find Chalce, but her {{p|Medicham}} alerted her and managed to keep Quaxwell at bay. Even with Penny trying to block her access to the system, Chalce managed to steal the data and {{m|Teleport}}ed away with her {{p|Xatu}}. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Dot faced [[Rob]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} in the tournament and won after Terastallizing her Quaxwell.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Dot, Liko, and Roy reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Dot was challenged by Lucius's Lapras, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Dot Terastallized Quaxwell and had her use an enhanced Liquidation, which Lapras withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to her Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. In ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede traveled up [[Oni Mountain]] to meet with Briar at the [[Crystal Pool]], where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. Along the way, a wild {{p|Bombirdier}} pestered the group by dropping various objects on them and stole a metal plate that Tinkatink wanted to improve her hammer. Dot and her Pokémon chased Bombirdier to its nest, where Quaxwell was forced to confront it and its Terastallized partner while Tinkatink retrieved the plate. Once Tinkatink finished forging her new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and turned the tide of battle, driving the Bombirdier off. In the [[HZ071|following episode]], the group arrived at the Crystal Pool and met with Briar, with whom they discussed about Terapagos, but ultimately left with no new leads. As the group returned to the Brave Olivine, Dot stayed behind in [[Mossui Town]] to record some footage for her channel and ended up meeting [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of a {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in [[Tengu Mountain]], though couldn't remember the exact location.

Dot, Liko, Roy, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with some a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Dot was separated from the others, but soon found Perrin and discovered that her inability to remember Kleavor's location was due to the effects of a wild {{p|Trevenant}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}}. With her skills, Dot was able to determine exactly where the photo had been taken, leading to the now reunited group successfully tracking down Kleavor in the [[HZ073|following episode]]. Despite Liko and Lapras's pleas, Kleavor did not go with them so easily, deciding to test the group's might first. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Dot, Liko, and Roy's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers's search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Dot, Liko, and Roy to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched all around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. After a long battle, they managed to weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza.

Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede finally arrived at Laqua in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Dot faced off against Chalce and was able to level the playing field by resorting to some unpredictable tactics. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and, teaming up with Ceruledge, managed to knock Zygarde down. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza, which urged the Rising Volt Tacklers to flee the area. With [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] and [[Friede's Charizard]], the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Dot and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Dot returning home to her mother, where she continued making Nidothing videos.
[[File:Dot Tech Support.png|thumb|250px|Dot helping Roy from home]]
In [[HZ090]], Dot contacted Roy for the first time in a year and asked him to seek out Pokémon affected by the Laquium mist. After Roy was joined by Liko on this journey, Dot remained in contact with them remotely, conveying information regarding Laquium Signs and the Black Rayquaza. In [[HZ096]], upon hearing of the Black Rayquaza's situation through Liko and Roy, Dot decided to meet up with them and Murdock in Cortondo.

Before heading to Cortondo, however, Dot was requested by Iono in [[HZ097]] to investigate a series of incidents where Pokémon were attacked by an unusually fast {{p|Stunfisk}} in Levincia. Noticing a pink mist surrounding the victims, Dot concluded the culprit was affected by Laquium. Later, she confronted the Stunfisk's Trainer, a boy named [[Magyorō]] who deliberately pranked people to make content for his streaming channel. With the power boost provided by his [[Strong Sphere]], Magyorō managed to take out Quaxwell, but was eventually defeated once Dot Terastallized Tinkatuff to strengthen its newly-learned {{m|Metal Claw}}. Afterward, Iono provided a Flying Taxi for Dot so she could go meet with Liko and the others. In the [[HZ098|following episode]], she reunited with Murdock, Liko, and Roy, met [[Uruto]] in person, and joined them in their travel to meet with [[Orla]] in Galar.

In [[HZ099]], Dot and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group found out that Karna had been hired to manufacture parts for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Due to their intervention, the Explorers members [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]] stepped in to take the order by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Dot, Liko, Roy, and Uruto teamed up to battle Indy and Rubella's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Dot and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indy and Rubella to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Dot and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Uruto proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In [[HZ101]], Dot, Liko, Roy, and Uruto met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They also talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Dot then reunited with Penny, who provided her a map with information about Laquium Signs across Paldea and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], inspired by Roy and Nemona's battle. The battle took place in the [[HZ102|following episode]] and ended up in Penny's victory.

===Character===
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot with her hair up]]
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]]s.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Uruto.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends]]
As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, '''''What's up!''''' (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). Her Japanese catchphrase is a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name (Japanese: '''クワッス''' ''Kuwassu''). Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. While not necessarily shy, she is incredibly introverted and finds the other members too bothersome to interact with. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]]'s advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room.

Dot eventually grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Dot also went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her. At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a Black Rayquaza inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. As time went on, Dot became close with Liko and Roy, as she mostly hangs out with them. Dot also has formed a friendship with Iono, who was a inspiration for her to begin her streaming career, and refers to her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo'').
[[File:HZ049.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot's discomfort of cameras]]
Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]''. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Dot even told Roy that she is Nidothing, as she came to trust him to know the truth about her influencer and a video distributor identity. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot is shown to have some discomfort with being around cameras when she is not in her Nidothing costume, which cause her to freeze while trying to retrieve it from {{p|Varoom}}. Afterwards, the encouragement from Quaxly helped rid of her uneasiness of cameras from others.

Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts was false. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she got misled in getting information about the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock. However, after returning from her [[Tera Training]] with Liko and Roy, Dot doesn't spend a lot of time in her room and is much more interactive, even joining the team meetings in person instead of using her Rotom Phone, as seen in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]''.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys. Dot is a fan of a Monthly Occulture book series, as shown in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. This was shown again in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]'', when Dot became excited to meet a journalist for the Occulture book series in former Rising Volt Tackler member [[Wy-Yes]].

Dot appears to have enjoyment for eating sweets, even coming to like Murdock's treats. Also, Dot and her friends take the time to try the popular sweets spot in various town they visit. Although, despite her sweet tooth, Dot has come to enjoy in trying various other foods.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanded following both the loss of Friede and being framed by [[Spinel]] for the Explorers' actions, Dot has gone back to spending her time in her room at home. However, unlike before Liko and Roy came into her life, Dot misses being out and traveling. Part of the reason she is still in her room is her work on making Nidothing videos and helping her best friends find Laquium signs. Despite this, Dot is much more ready to jump into action, as seen in [[HZ096]], when she decided to meet up with Liko, Roy, and Murdock in person in Paldea. Like Roy, Dot finds [[Uruto]] annoying but comes to respect him as both a friend and a Trainer.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Dot team.png|thumb|250px|Dot and her Pokémon]]
Dot's team consists of Pokémon who are the opposite of her in personality, as they have shown the traits that their Trainer doesn't usually show. Also, Dot's Pokémon have shown to have an influence on others, especially their Trainer, such as her [[Dot's Quaxwell|Quaxwell]]'s outgoing personality and her [[Dot's Tinkatuff|Tinkatuff]]'s determination to go for what you really want.

Her Pokémon also seem to take on a specific role on the team: Quaxwell is the main {{pkmn|battle|battler}} and Tinkatuff is the supporter. Dot and her Pokémon share a close bond with each other. In addition, Dot's Pokémon all share a common type that is owned by the older members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], such as [[Orla]], [[Ludlow]], and [[Murdock]].

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Liko and Roy Paldea Pokédex Apps.png|thumb|left|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers app]]
As a genius hacker, Dot is able to create a complex application system and break into systems in minutes.

* '''Rising Volt Tacklers app:''' Dot developed the main app used by the team members. Among other functions, it features identity verification for team members and an exclusive chatroom. This app is installed on each team member's personal [[Rotom Phone]].
* In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Dot created a program capable of shutting down a machine the [[Explorers]] were using to to confuse the [[Black Rayquaza]]. She used her Rotom Phone to install the program onto the machine.
{{-}}

[[File:Dot Ferris Wheel.png|230px|thumb|Dot's project for the [[Artazon Art Festival]]]]
As a student at [[Naranja Academy]], Dot participated in the following events:
* [[Artazon Art Festival]] (''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'')

{{-}}

===Nidothing's videos===
[[File:Dot Chimecho Research.png|250px|thumb|Dot making external recordings for her channel]]
In some episodes, Nidothing replaces the role of the [[narrator]] from previous series, explaining some concepts of the [[Pokémon world]]. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot revealed that she pre-recorded several videos between the events of ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'' and ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''. This allowed her to still upload content while she went on a [[Pokémon journey]] with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] to participate in the [[Tera Training]].
[[File:Nidothing doll.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko with a doll created based on Nidothing made by [[Nyabiko]]]]
After a long hiatus, Dot began recording videos again in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', this time reintroducing her partner, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} after his [[Evolution]]. A year later, in [[HZ090]], it was revealed that Dot was still making videos, this time warning about some cases involving Pokémon affected by [[Laquium]]. Dot's popularity as Nidothing spans across several regions of the [[Pokémon world]], with her videos being seen from [[Kanto]] to [[Paldea]] and with some subscribers such as [[Liko]], [[Zirc]], [[Penny]] and others.

===Main outfit===
[[File:Dot anime.png|thumb|left|x300px|Dot's first outfit]]
[[File:Dot anime 5.png|thumb|x300px|Dot's post-timeskip outfit]]
Dot's first main outfit consists of a dark purple top with a light purple and white jacket and green pants. She also wore {{p|Snorlax}} slippers. Dot wore this outfit in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'' to ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', as well as briefly again in ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]''. After returning from her [[Tera Training]] in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Dot would wear this outfit whenever she was on the Brave Olivine. She normally wore this outfit as sleepwear while on the Brave Olivine, or at home, as shown in various episodes, and [[HZ041|''A Wild Mom Appears!'']].

Dot started wearing her second main outfit in ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'' to ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', it consists of a blue, green and purple jacket with dark purple pants. She also wore a pair of blue and white shoes with pink laces in the middle. She usually wore this outfit whenever she was traveling outside the Brave Olivine.

Dot began wearing her third main outfit in [[HZ090]]. It consists a purple jacket with light pink and white accents, with a printed pink and white logo on the right side. Behind her jacket is a white fluff appendange. She also wears light green pants, a dark purple tank top underneath (just like when she was younger), teal color shoes, white socks and has a set of cyan headphones with a loose cable around her neck. Dot's hair has grown longer and her left bang is cut, revealing her left eye.

===Other outfits===
====Costumes====
* Dot normally wears a {{p|Nidorina}} full body suit costume with a large zipper whenever she does her videos, live streams, (or live events) as Nidothing. A black headband is needed to push her hair back so she can see more clearly within her Nidothing costume.


====Other outfits====
* In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Dot wore a brown apron with a {{p|Kingambit}} on the right side and light-yellow bandana.
* In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Dot had a Pikachu mask.
* In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', Dot wore an orange life jacket while heading to the [[Whirl Islands]].

====Regular clothes====
* In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Dot wore a traditional jinbei outfit similar to [[Juliana (game)|Juliana]] while attending Kitakami's [[Countryside Harvest Festival]].

====Uniforms====
* In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' to ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'' and ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Dot would wear [[Naranja Academy]]'s winter uniform while she attended the school as an exchange student.

====Outdoor gear====
=====Snow wear=====
* In ''[[HZ060|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]'' to ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'' and ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'' to ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'', Dot wore a purple jacket with green pants, brown boots and purple gloves.
* She even tried on a light blue jacket with ears on the hood (which bore a striking resemblance to Nidothing, according to Liko), in ''[[HZ060|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Nidothing's costume resembles a {{p|Nidorina}}.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} who first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]''.

Nemona is also the current student council president of [[Naranja Academy]] and eventually became a friendly [[rival]] to [[Roy]], often challenging him to battle.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Some time ago, Nemona challenged the [[Paldea League]] and managed to become a {{pkmn|Champion}} Rank Trainer. This made her famous among several Trainers in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Nemona with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' while winning a battle against a Trainer. Some time before meeting [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], Nemona came to [[Artazon]] town to meet with [[Brassius]] and discuss his absence from the [[Gym]]. Upon being introduced to the young Trainers, Nemona joined them to go to the Gym and meet Brassius. During the meeting, they discussed their works and when Roy spoke about the [[Black Rayquaza]], Brassius kicked everyone out of his house. While discussing why Brassius acted the way he did, Liko came to the conclusion that Brassius might have {{wp|writer's block}}. After that, Nemona took Liko and Roy to the {{DL|Artazon|Sunflora Lawn}} and decided to group as many {{p|Sunflora}} to create inspiration for Brassius again, showing them later that she managed to gather fifteen species. After Brassius saw the group's determination and his {{p|Dolliv}}'s insistence, Brassius presented Nemona, Liko and Roy with a work based on his vision of {{p|Rayquaza}}. As soon as Brassius challenged Roy to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Nemona watched the battle along with Liko and explained some concepts like {{Tera}}stallization to her. At the end, Brassius presented another work of his to the group, one based on the forest's {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}}.
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy Dot HZ046.png|250px|thumb|Nemona reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot at [[Naranja Academy]]]]
In the [[HZ011|next episode]], Nemona accompanied Liko, Roy, and [[Mollie]] into the [[Arboliva's Forest]]. Upon arriving, Nemona said goodbye to the group and said that the next time she would met them, she would like to have a battle with Roy.

Nemona appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko and Roy and met [[Dot]] after they enrolled at [[Naranja Academy]] to train for the [[Tera Training]]. During the reunion, Liko and Roy discovered that Nemona's Pawmo evolved, and shortly thereafter, Nemona challenged Roy to a battle but was stopped by [[Clavell]]. Shortly after, Nemona showed off the Academy to the freshmen and introduced [[Elite Four]] members [[Rika]] and [[Hassel]] to her friends. After Liko and [[Ann]]'s battle, Nemona appeared again wanting to battle but was interrupted by the ringing of the Academy's bell.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Nemona and Roy]]
In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona was in Artazon again helping with an Art Festival that would be held by Naranja Academy and Brassius: Upon meeting Roy again, Nemona immediately challenged him to a battle which she won without much difficulty, despite Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} gave their best. After the battle, Nemona took her friends to the workshop where work was being done. After Liko, Roy and Dot showed off their art, Nemona watched Roy's battle against Brassius. [[HZ060|Some time later]], it was revealed that Nemona took a photo with Liko, Roy and Dot before separating from the group.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot when they returned to Naranja Academy, after explaining their next challenge, Nemona watched the students' battles against Paldea's Elite Four. After Roy's defeat in the battle against Hassel, Nemona came personally to tell him to continue doing his best. In [[HZ056|next episode]], Nemona watched Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against Rika alongside Roy and [[Ann]].
[[File:Nemona Arven Penny HZ067.png|250px|thumb|Nemona with [[Penny]] and [[Arven]]]]
In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', it was revealed that Nemona traveled to [[Montenevera]], and after saving {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. Soon after, Nemona watched alongside Liko and Dot as Roy battled [[Ryme]], and when Roy was defeated, Nemona joined the girls to see how Roy and Fuecoco were doing. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], in order to cheer Roy up, Nemona held a [[Hyper Training]] with him and Fuecoco. As the afternoon wore on, Nemona joined the group and heard the story of why Roy likes to sing. Later, Nemona watched Roy and Ryme's [[rematch]] and after Roy's victory, she congratulated him for advancing another step in the Tera Training.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Nemona met with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. After talking about the progress of the Tournament for the Tera Training students, she watched the battles while Liko and Roy solved a problem at Naranja Academy involving the [[Explorers]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Nemona praised Roy and Liko's heroic actions in saving the school from the Explorers, whom she heard from [[Penny]]. Soon after, Nemona watched Liko and Roy's battle alongside Penny and [[Arven]], and after Roy's victory, Nemona congratulated him on the result and said she was proud of Roy's progress up to that point alongside Ryme.

Nemona reappeared in a flashback in [[HZ085]].

===Character===
[[File:Nemona ready battle.png|thumb|250px|Nemona ready to battle]]
Nemona is a very friendly and kind person, quickly making friends with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. Nemona has a very supportive personality, showing this when she tried to encourage Roy to continue doing his best in battles after being defeated by [[Hassel]].

She also has a huge passion for [[Pokémon battle]]s, challenging different Trainers as she encounters them on her way to a battle. During the time that Liko and Roy spent at [[Naranja Academy]], Nemona often challenged people to battle, but was always interrupted by something. In addition to this, in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona revealed that she enjoys following some events that involve Pokémon battles, which motivated her to travel to [[Montenevera]] just to watch the battles that happened at [[Ryme]]'s show.

As expected from a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Nemona is well respected in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], as shown during her [[HZ010|first appearance]] and when Nemona met [[Dot]] who was quite embarrassed in Nemona's presence. Despite her young age she is shown to be very knowledgeable about various topics in the Pokémon world such as the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

==Trivia==

==Trivia==

'''Ryuki''' (Japanese: '''リュウキ''' ''Ryūki'') is a [[non-player character]] in the [[Generation VII]] {{pkmn|games}}. He is a rock guitarist and a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Ryuki is a rock musician who has traveled to [[Alola]] from another [[region]] beyond the sea in order to spread his fame. He is one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who can [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|challenge]] the {{player}} for the title of [[Pokémon Champion]] in {{al|Pokémon League}} rematches in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]].

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Ryuki also sometimes appears at the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]], where he can be battled, although defeating him is not necessary to complete the Kantonian Gym challenge. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player a [[Dragon Scale]]. He also promises to become a {{type|Dragon}} [[Gym Leader]] once real [[Gym]]s start appearing in Alola.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ryuki anime.png|thumb|250px|Ryuki in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
Ryuki appeared in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'' as the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]]. He first had a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Kiawe}}, easily defeating his {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} when it became distracted by Ryuki's music. Next, he battled {{Ash}}, but when {{AP|Rowlet}} was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, {{AP|Meltan}} became infuriated and ate some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit in retaliation. Ryuki then changed the match into a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Rowlet and Meltan against Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}} and Zweilous. Thanks to Rowlet learning {{m|Brave Bird}}, Ash was able to win the match. Ryuki then gave him a [[Badge]] bearing a picture of his own face as a proof of his victory.

===Character===
Ryuki considers himself a star, and his stage persona tends to take over the battlefield. He tends to shout into his microphone to ensure that he gets his way. He insists on being called "Leader", as he feels anything less disregards his individuality and undermines his authority.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ryuki Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Ryuki in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Ryuki debuted in ''[[PASM32|Shock!! Father in the Pendant!]]''. He considers himself a battling superstar, so he traveled to [[Alola]] in hopes of fighting the powerful [[Ultra Beast]]s. He was hired by [[Faba]], who agreed to help Ryuki in exchange for his services. Ryuki was sent to [[Mount Lanakila]], where he found {{adv|Moon}} lying unconscious in the snow after she returned to Alola via an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. He picked the girl up and took her to [[Aether Paradise]], where Faba had her locked in a cell.

Moon was later freed by [[Gladion]], who teamed up with her to stop Faba. Cornered, Faba tricked Ryuki into helping him by revealing [[Gladion's Silvally]] was created to defeat the Ultra Beasts. This subsequently prompted Ryuki to battle Gladion and Moon in order to defend his place in the spotlight. After losing his first Pokémon, Ryuki sent out two more, only for Gladion to stop him and call off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee Aether Paradise. After learning that others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them.

Months later, Gladion and Dulse set off to rescue Faba, who had been dragged into [[Ultra Space]] by several {{p|Nihilego}}. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.

A '''Gym Challenger''' (Japanese: '''ジムチャレンジャー''' ''Gym Challenger'') is a type of {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. They are Trainers who compete in [[Galar]]'s [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Although characters such as the {{player}} and [[rival]]s are referred to as Gym Challengers in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}'s in-game dialogues, they instead use [[Pokémon Trainer]] as their Trainer class. Gym Challenger, as a Trainer class, is exclusively used by Trainers that participate in the [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. These Trainers all [[Type expert|specialize in one specific type]].

Gym Challengers keep their Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s.

Lapras Sea

ShallowShaddoll: Friede lists out the locations they found four of the six heroes (Kanto, Paldea (Arboliva), Galar (Moltres), Kitakami (Kleavor)), so by process of elimination, Lapras was in Kanto.

(Japanese: '''ラプラスの海''' ''Laplace's Sea'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location that [[Lucius]]'s {{p|Lapras}} inhabits. It is the former home to the Lapras Pirates.

Lapras Sea first appeared in ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', where it was the subject of a rumor that a shining {{p|Lapras}} would guide lost ships through deep fog with its song. It was later revealed that this Lapras originally traveled with Lucius, but turned to a life of piracy after they were separated.

In ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]'', after Lapras decided to aid the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in finding [[Laqua]], the rest of the Lapras Pirates left the reef to continue their lifestyle elsewhere.

'''Friede''' (Japanese: '''フリード''' ''Freed'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and the commander of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Friede]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|alder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], but quit his job because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with [[Ludlow]] on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in [[HZ018]], Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Asagi]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and his niece, [[Dot]], as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending the [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and his Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|Friede and his Pokémon]]
Friede debuted in [[HZ001]]. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against Amethio's {{p|Ceruledge}}, but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Asagi]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In [[HZ003]], Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to rescue Sprigatito. After they succeeded, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko—something he had briefly mentioned earlier—and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In [[HZ004]], Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Asagi for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's ancient {{i|Poké Ball}} reacted to each other's presence. Suddenly, a {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}} was released from the Poké Ball and quickly forced the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In [[HZ007]], Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.

In [[HZ012]], after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former teacher [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}} was currently in [[Galar]].

In [[HZ014]], Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Asagi. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In [[HZ022]], Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encounter the Explores again as he battled Amethio again. During the battle, they witness a Galarian {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appear. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover.

===Character===
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In [[HZ004]], Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called by his name.
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|left|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}, however without getting any useful information. Despite this, Friede has shown to very wise as he offered advice and training for the younger members in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede doesn't like to talk about his past, as seen in [[HZ018]], when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past.

'''Archaludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリジュラス''' ''Burijurasu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Duraludon}}.

==Biology==
When Archaludon faces danger, it will extend its normally bent torso. It also trades away its mobility in exchange for a more stable center of gravity. Archaludon appears to resemble a magnificent steel bridge while in this state.

The terminals located at the end of its limbs can gather and store static electricity. This allows it to fire a powerful beam made up of electric energy, an energy not normally charged within its body. Archaludon can gather more static electricity more quickly during storms and other inclement weather. This allows Archaludon to fire off its beam much faster.


===Evolution===
Archaludon evolves from {{p|Duraludon}}.

'''Raging Bolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タケルライコ''' ''Takeruraiko'') is a [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Raikou}}.

==Biology==
Raging Bolt is a quadrupedal, yellow, {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with black stripes and a white underside with red lines surrounding it. Raging Bolt's head is connected to a long neck with black stripes and a white underside with red lines. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped spiky ball at the end. It has three blue triangle spikes on back. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter red fur around its red eyes. The top of fur has seven furs shaped like a crown. Raging Bolt's muzzle is a light blue "X", the top part is shaped like lightening bolts. Its head has black faceplate with two black spikes that cover its forehead, nose, and ears. The mouth has muzzle has two long fangs similar to {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}s. Its large claws each converge to form a single point and never retract. The front feet has three red feather connected to the red lines. The back feet has red line surrounding claws and foot. Raging Bolt's face is covered by a circle mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds. The mane can extend to form a normal looking mane.

Raging Bolt was first discovered in [[Area Zero]].


==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|200px|thumb|left|Sketch resembling [[Legendary beasts]] in the Scarlet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Raging Bolt, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]] in {{g|Scarlet}} as an amalgam of the [[Legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}).

===Origin===
Raging Bolt is based on {{p|Raikou}}. It also resembles {{wp|sauropod}}s, such as the ''{{wp|Brontosaurus}}'' (whose name literally means "thunder lizard"), and {{wp|storm cloud}}s. It may also be based on the ''{{wp|Qilin}}'', who shares the Japanese-to-English translation with ''{{wp|Giraffe|giraffe}}s'', further explaining its long neck.

====Name origin====
Raging Bolt is literally ''raging bolt''.

Takeruraiko can be taken as 猛る雷光 ''takeru raikō'' (furious lightning). It may also come from ''{{p|Raikou}}''.

'''Brassius''' (Japanese: '''コルサ''' ''Colza'') is an artist who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Artazon]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Artazon Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He hands out the {{badge|PaldeaGrass|Grass Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Brassius is one of the Gym Leaders of the [[Paldea]] region, and is also an artist. He treats battles as an artform and tests the aesthetic sensibilities of those who challenge his Gym. He is always busy with a new project when he's not battling, inspired by his surroundings.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Brassius gives out {{TM|020|Trailblaze}} after defeating him.

He is close friends with [[Hassel]], the art teacher at the academy in [[Mesagoza]]. Hassel helped inspire Brassius's most remarkable artwork called "Surrendering Sunflora", a statue installation spread around the town of Artazon depicting {{p|Sunflora}} with somber expressions. Amongst art connoisseurs, the meaning of "Surrendering Sunflora" is debated.<ref>(September 7, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/treasure_hunt/ Your Own Story, Woven Through Your Treasure Hunt]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> In truth, at the time of the creation of "Surrendering Sunflora", Brassius was deathly ill, and he had given up all hope, even prepared to give up being an artist if "Surrendering Sunflora" didn't gain proper recognition. Despite feeling his worst, Hassel was there to encourage him, which gave Brassius the strength to start the project in the first place. Whether this event took place while he was a Gym Leader is unknown.

Another installment around Artazon by Brassius is "The Harvest", a collective of flower-like sculptures ranging in color, each with six bulbs equidistance around a ring, possibly inspired by {{p|Arboliva}}.

:''"You did well to come this far!"''
:''"I am Brassius—an artist specializing in Grass-type Pokémon. I am also the Gym Leader here at the Artazon Gym."''

:''"Yes! It was truly avant-garde!"''
:''"I only pray that you might demonstrate that eye for beauty in our battle as well."''
:''"Enough talk! We must begin creating our collaborative work of art!"''
:''"I trust that you are ready? It is time for our masterpiece to take shape!"''

* In battle
:''"Art is creation and destruction! Struggle, else your defeat will nourish my Pokémon!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"This has promise! Yes! Let us lead this artistic endeavor to its conclusion at once!"''

* Upon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] his {{p|Sudowoodo}}
:''"Allow me to touch this work up slightly! I will call it... “Truleewoodo”!"''

* Upon using Sudowoodo's {{m|Trailblaze}}
:''"At times, art becomes a race against the clock! Let us increase the pace!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Avant-garde!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Oh! What artistic tactics you employ!"''
:''"The patterns of your moves! The minute details of your Pokémon’s performance! Everything you did was honed to perfection!"''
:''"Our battle was, in a word, art! Indeed, if we could not call that a work of artistry, then nothing else in this world could be labeled as such!"''
:''"If I were to judge your work, I would say it passes my inspection. Yes—a pass without exception!"''
:''"As proof of your artistic prowess, you may have my Gym Badge! Shall we take a photo as well?"''
:''"If you possess <number of Badges> Gym {{tt|Badge/Badges|Depends how many badges player has}}, it will be easier to catch Pokémon of up to Lv. <level>, and those Pokémon should follow your commands as well!"'' (If the player has less than eight Badges)
:''"If you possess 8 Gym Badges, you will be able to catch Pokémon of any level. And they will most certainly obey your every command as well!"'' (If the player has eight Badges)
:''"To a fantastic Trainer such as yourself, I would also like to offer this—a favorite of mine!"''
:''"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"''

:''"I am so very glad that you are here! Praise Mother Nature!"''
:''"I had planned to meet with the [[Geeta|Top Champion]] today, but I have just now canceled that plan! Shall we instead talk of art together?"''
::'''Either way:''' What? You came in the Top Champion’s stead? Well, I cannot be bothered by that."''
:''"I don’t care what the reason is—if we can make a masterpiece together once more, then fine!"''
:''"Well then, <player>, are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Avant-garde! Very well, then. Let us head to my studio."''
::'''No''': ''"Not avant-garde! I simply cannot contain my excitement to face you in battle once more. Come back as soon as you are able!"''
::'''If talked to again after selecting No''': ''"Greetings, <player>! Are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"''

;[[Artazon Gym]] rematch
* Before battle
:''"Behold, <player>, the sight of Artazon’s windmill!"''
:''"It catches the winds that blow across Paldea and, slowly yet powerfully, spins ever on."''
:''"My leaping down from that windmill to appear before those who would challenge my Gym lends an added depth to our battles!"''
::'''Either way:''' ''"I knew you would understand my reasoning, <player>! Hahahaha!"''
:''"Though I believe I can spare my legs today, as we are sure to create my greatest masterpiece yet—even if I do not alight from above!"''
:''"But I digress. We are both artists, are we not? We have no further use for words now."''
:''"I assume you are ready? Let our collaborative work of art begin!"''

* In battle
:''"Let us ponder the art we will create together, <player>!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"This work’s concept is the deep-rooting nature of plants! A briar’s thorns are not easily removed!"''

* Upon Terastallizing his Sudowoodo
:''"I do hope this work lives up to my expectations! I shall call it “Truleewoodoo Part 2”!"''

* Upon using Sudowoodo's Trailblaze
:''"My dear grass… grow, I say! Heed my wishes and grow!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Ahhh…vant-garde!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Seeing you in the midst of battle—you are like a unique gradient, subtly changing hues!"''
:''"Riotous and yet gentle! Such contrast... I lack the words to express it. My hat goes off to you!"''
:''"My battles with you are truly a gift. Each time, I am made to remember how I felt so long ago when I first ventured into this world of art."''
:''"Ah, I almost forgot. You were here for the Gym inspection in the Top Champion’s stead, correct?"''
:''"Well, that is of no consequence. Report on my Gym here as you see fit."''
:''"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"''
:''"I will begin on a new piece at once! You must excuse me. Farewell!"''

:''"Ol’ Hass is the man who saved me when I had lost all hope and given up on myself."''
:''"But he never gave up on me. I do not exaggerate when I say that he is my mentor in life!"''
:''"It is precisely thanks to Hass that I was able to establish my current art style."''
:''"Of course!"''
:''"Let’s see... Ah, why don’t we discuss what Hass mentioned—Surrendering Sunflora?"''
:''"Can anyone here tell what my mood was when I crafted its detached expression?"''
::'''Regardless of answer:''' ''"No, no, no... Completely and utterly wrong!"''
:''"When I made that sculpture, I had surrendered all hope. I was prepared to give up everything."''
:''"I had resolved to give up my life as an artist if that piece did not receive proper recognition."''
:''"That’s exactly it, Hass!"''
:''"When I started out as an artist, I experienced many hardships. I even became deathly ill and fell into a slump that drove me to desperation."''
:''"I began worrying only about what would sell. I was concerned only with fame and fortune..."''
:''"But all of my pieces during this time had no depth. They were all shallow trash!"''
:''"It was then that I met Hass. He helped me realize how petty I was being. I’ll spare you the details...but in the end I was able to leave all that behind!"''
:''"And that is also when I crafted the Sunflora!"''
:''"This kind of thing is hard to tell someone, especially when they are so close to you."''
:''"Now, I don’t doubt that you adolescents will often find your heads crowded with worries."''
:''"My advice to you is simple. Be honest with yourself, and do whatever your heart desires....So long as you don’t cause trouble, that is."''
:''"That is all from me."''
:''"I must admit I am beginning to feel a bit embarrassed, so I bid you farewell, Hass! And farewell to your pupils as well!"''

* Of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]], Brassius is the only one not to be seen holding a {{i|Poké Ball}} prior to calling out his first Pokémon.
* After he recalls his Pokémon from battle, he touches the Poké Ball to his forehead rather than simply nodding at it like many other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is the [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and serves as the president of the academy's student council.

==In the core series games==
Nemona is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Pokémon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for the player. She has an energetic personality, and loves Pokémon battles, which she excels at. However, she's not as good at throwing [[Poké Ball]]s.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/nemona/ Nemona — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She, along with the player, is enrolled in the {{wp|general studies|general studies}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Jacq]].

Nemona also participates in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], although she has to manage the admin work when it is held for the first time, she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Nemona uses the {{pkmn2|starter}} with a [[type]] disadvantage to the one the player chooses. As shown in the game's opening cutscene, she also owns a Combat Breed {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}, but she is never seen using it elsewhere. She is also implied to have more Pokémon that are unseen by the player, as she became a Champion prior to her first battle with the player and repeatedly mentions needing to select a perfect team for her battles, and the official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet claims that Nemona uses {{p|Lechonk}} and {{p|Smoliv}}, even though she is never seen using either of these Pokémon.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/lechonk/ Lechonk — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/smoliv/ Smoliv — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

=====First battle=====
During this battle, both the player's and Nemona's Pokémon are prevented from scoring [[critical hit]]s.

'''Brassius''' (Japanese: '''コルサ''' ''Colza'') is an artist who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Artazon]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Artazon Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He hands out the {{badge|PaldeaGrass|Grass Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Brassius is one of the Gym Leaders of the [[Paldea]] region, and is also an artist. He treats battles as an artform and tests the aesthetic sensibilities of those who challenge his Gym. He is always busy with a new project when he's not battling, inspired by his surroundings.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Brassius gives out {{TM|020|Trailblaze}} after defeating him.

He is close friends with [[Hassel]], the art teacher at the academy in [[Mesagoza]]. Hassel helped inspire Brassius's most remarkable artwork called "Surrendering Sunflora", a statue installation spread around the town of Artazon depicting {{p|Sunflora}} with somber expressions. Amongst art connoisseurs, the meaning of "Surrendering Sunflora" is debated.<ref>(September 7, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/treasure_hunt/ Your Own Story, Woven Through Your Treasure Hunt]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> In truth, at the time of the creation of "Surrendering Sunflora", Brassius was deathly ill, and he had given up all hope, even prepared to give up being an artist if "Surrendering Sunflora" didn't gain proper recognition. Despite feeling his worst, Hassel was there to encourage him, which gave Brassius the strength to start the project in the first place. Whether this event took place while he was a Gym Leader is unknown.

Another installment around Artazon by Brassius is "The Harvest", a collective of flower-like sculptures ranging in color, each with six bulbs equidistance around a ring, possibly inspired by {{p|Arboliva}}.

;[[Artazon Gym]]
* Before battle
:''"Greetings, challenger!"''
:''"Hmph!"''
:''"You did well to come this far!"''
:''"I am Brassius—an artist specializing in Grass-type Pokémon. I am also the Gym Leader here at the Artazon Gym."''
:''"I was observing your Gym Test from atop the windmill, you know. The perception you displayed in finding Sunflora was truly... Oh, how shall I describe it?"''
:''"Yes! It was truly avant-garde!"''
:''"I only pray that you might demonstrate that eye for beauty in our battle as well."''
:''"Enough talk! We must begin creating our collaborative work of art!"''
:''"I trust that you are ready? It is time for our masterpiece to take shape!"''

* In battle
:''"Art is creation and destruction! Struggle, else your defeat will nourish my Pokémon!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"This has promise! Yes! Let us lead this artistic endeavor to its conclusion at once!"''

* Upon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] his {{p|Sudowoodo}}
:''"Allow me to touch this work up slightly! I will call it... “Truleewoodo”!"''

* Upon using Sudowoodo's {{m|Trailblaze}}
:''"At times, art becomes a race against the clock! Let us increase the pace!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Avant-garde!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Oh! What artistic tactics you employ!"''
:''"The patterns of your moves! The minute details of your Pokémon’s performance! Everything you did was honed to perfection!"''
:''"Our battle was, in a word, art! Indeed, if we could not call that a work of artistry, then nothing else in this world could be labeled as such!"''
:''"If I were to judge your work, I would say it passes my inspection. Yes—a pass without exception!"''
:''"As proof of your artistic prowess, you may have my Gym Badge! Shall we take a photo as well?"''
:''"If you possess <number of Badges> Gym {{tt|Badge/Badges|Depends how many badges player has}}, it will be easier to catch Pokémon of up to Lv. <level>, and those Pokémon should follow your commands as well!"'' (If the player has less than eight Badges)
:''"If you possess 8 Gym Badges, you will be able to catch Pokémon of any level. And they will most certainly obey your every command as well!"'' (If the player has eight Badges)
:''"To a fantastic Trainer such as yourself, I would also like to offer this—a favorite of mine!"''
:''"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"''
:''"I will begin on a new piece at once! You must excuse me. Farewell!"''

;[[Artazon]]
:''"Avant-garde!"''
:''"You are <player>—no! You are the artist <player>-garde!"''
::'''Either way:''' ''"That is of no consequence!"''
:''"Each time I recall our artistic battle, I’ve found myself wishing to face you once again..."''
:''"I am so very glad that you are here! Praise Mother Nature!"''
:''"I had planned to meet with the [[Geeta|Top Champion]] today, but I have just now canceled that plan! Shall we instead talk of art together?"''
::'''Either way:''' What? You came in the Top Champion’s stead? Well, I cannot be bothered by that."''
:''"I don’t care what the reason is—if we can make a masterpiece together once more, then fine!"''
:''"Well then, <player>, are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Avant-garde! Very well, then. Let us head to my studio."''
::'''No''': ''"Not avant-garde! I simply cannot contain my excitement to face you in battle once more. Come back as soon as you are able!"''
::'''If talked to again after selecting No''': ''"Greetings, <player>! Are you ready to open wide a door to the world of art?"''

;[[Artazon Gym]] rematch
* Before battle
:''"Behold, <player>, the sight of Artazon’s windmill!"''
:''"It catches the winds that blow across Paldea and, slowly yet powerfully, spins ever on."''
:''"My leaping down from that windmill to appear before those who would challenge my Gym lends an added depth to our battles!"''
::'''Either way:''' ''"I knew you would understand my reasoning, <player>! Hahahaha!"''
:''"Though I believe I can spare my legs today, as we are sure to create my greatest masterpiece yet—even if I do not alight from above!"''
:''"But I digress. We are both artists, are we not? We have no further use for words now."''
:''"I assume you are ready? Let our collaborative work of art begin!"''

* In battle
:''"Let us ponder the art we will create together, <player>!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"This work’s concept is the deep-rooting nature of plants! A briar’s thorns are not easily removed!"''

* Upon Terastallizing his Sudowoodo
:''"I do hope this work lives up to my expectations! I shall call it “Truleewoodoo Part 2”!"''

* Upon using Sudowoodo's Trailblaze
:''"My dear grass… grow, I say! Heed my wishes and grow!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Ahhh…vant-garde!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Seeing you in the midst of battle—you are like a unique gradient, subtly changing hues!"''
:''"Riotous and yet gentle! Such contrast... I lack the words to express it. My hat goes off to you!"''
:''"My battles with you are truly a gift. Each time, I am made to remember how I felt so long ago when I first ventured into this world of art."''
:''"Ah, I almost forgot. You were here for the Gym inspection in the Top Champion’s stead, correct?"''
:''"Well, that is of no consequence. Report on my Gym here as you see fit."''
:''"Ah! My inspiration is overflowing, as if drawn from a bottomless well!"''
:''"I will begin on a new piece at once! You must excuse me. Farewell!"''

;[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}
:''"I am Brassius. I am an artist, and I focus exclusively on Grass-type Pokémon for my work."''
:''"Yes...I do recognize some faces among your students."''
:''"I hope you all understand how fortunate you are to be able to attend [[Hassel|Hass]]’s classes."''
:''"Ol’ Hass is the man who saved me when I had lost all hope and given up on myself."''
:''"But he never gave up on me. I do not exaggerate when I say that he is my mentor in life!"''
:''"It is precisely thanks to Hass that I was able to establish my current art style."''
:''"Of course!"''
:''"Let’s see... Ah, why don’t we discuss what Hass mentioned—Surrendering Sunflora?"''
:''"Can anyone here tell what my mood was when I crafted its detached expression?"''
::'''Regardless of answer:''' ''"No, no, no... Completely and utterly wrong!"''
:''"When I made that sculpture, I had surrendered all hope. I was prepared to give up everything."''
:''"I had resolved to give up my life as an artist if that piece did not receive proper recognition."''
:''"That’s exactly it, Hass!"''
:''"When I started out as an artist, I experienced many hardships. I even became deathly ill and fell into a slump that drove me to desperation."''
:''"I began worrying only about what would sell. I was concerned only with fame and fortune..."''
:''"But all of my pieces during this time had no depth. They were all shallow trash!"''
:''"It was then that I met Hass. He helped me realize how petty I was being. I’ll spare you the details...but in the end I was able to leave all that behind!"''
:''"And that is also when I crafted the Sunflora!"''
:''"This kind of thing is hard to tell someone, especially when they are so close to you."''
:''"Now, I don’t doubt that you adolescents will often find your heads crowded with worries."''
:''"My advice to you is simple. Be honest with yourself, and do whatever your heart desires....So long as you don’t cause trouble, that is."''
:''"That is all from me."''
:''"I must admit I am beginning to feel a bit embarrassed, so I bid you farewell, Hass! And farewell to your pupils as well!"''

==Trivia==
* Brassius's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|ネイチャーアーティスト|Nature Artist}}.
* His {{p|Sudowoodo}}'s {{t|Grass}} Tera Type alludes to Sudowoodo's mimicry of actual trees. This is referenced by Brassius himself after [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] the Pokémon, calling it "Truleewoodo".
* Of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]], Brassius is the only one not to be seen holding a {{i|Poké Ball}} prior to calling out his first Pokémon.
* After he recalls his Pokémon from battle, he touches the Poké Ball to his forehead rather than simply nodding at it like many other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

'''Ash's Kingler''' (Japanese: '''サトシのキングラー''' ''Satoshi's Kingler'') was the sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his seventh overall. It was also the first of Ash's Pokémon to primarily reside at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Ash Krabby.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Krabby]]
Ash originally obtained Kingler as a {{p|Krabby}} in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', when he became angry at {{an|Misty}} for saying that it was a fluke that he caught all his other Pokémon. Storming down to the beach, he discovered a minuscule Krabby and made fun of it. Krabby challenged Ash, who fought it with a nearby stick and then captured it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Having six Pokémon already in his party at the time, the newly caught Krabby's Poké Ball was immediately teleported away, much to Ash's surprise and concern. He soon learned that Krabby was sent to {{an|Professor Oak}}.
[[File:Gary Krabby.png|thumb|220px|As a Krabby, being compared to Gary's bigger Krabby]]
Ash quickly rang Oak and was initially horrified at the thought that Oak was eating his new Krabby. However, the Professor pointed out that he was actually eating tofu. Ash's initial relief changed to jealousy after Oak also revealed that {{Gary}} had also caught a Krabby, although his Krabby was far larger in size. Later, in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary actually sniggered at the sight of Krabby's minuscule size.

Krabby made its battling debut in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', when Ash used it during the first round of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]] against [[Mandi]]. He reasoned that Krabby would be perfect for a battle on the water field despite Misty's protests.

It seemed at first that Misty's forebodings would prove true; Mandi's {{p|Exeggutor}} used {{m|Psychic}} to trap Krabby in a whirlpool. However, Krabby managed to escape and took control of the battle with Vise Grip. It avoided Exeggutor's {{m|Hypnosis}} and took victory with Leer and Stomp. The intensity of the battle caused it to evolve into a {{p|Kingler}}. It was able to finish the rest of the match single-handedly, defeating Mandi's {{p|Seadra}} by slowing it down with Bubble and before knocking it out with Crabhammer; Kingler also defeated Mandi's {{p|Golbat}} with a Hyper Beam. This was despite Misty and {{an|Brock}}'s real concerns about Kingler's ability to prevail against Seadra's speed and Golbat's air attacks.
[[File:Oak Muk Kingler Tauros.png|thumb|left|220px|Kingler, Muk, and Tauros offering to fight Drake]]
Ash also used Kingler in his battle on the ice field in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', where Kingler defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} by striking its protective shell with a fury of unrelenting Crabhammers. It went up against his {{p|Arcanine}}, but its Bubble was dodged by the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Kingler was knocked out by a {{m|Dragon Rage}} attack.

=====Orange Islands=====
Kingler spent most of the time at Oak's lab as Ash and his {{ashfr}} traveled the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. Kingler and {{AP|Muk}} offered to fight for Ash in the Orange Island Championship battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', but Ash chose {{AP|Tauros}} instead.

=====Johto=====
[[File:EP217.png|thumb|220px|Kingler in the Whirl Cup]]
In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Kingler crowded into Ash's screen with Muk, Tauros, and {{AP|Snorlax}} to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with [[Whitney]].

After realizing he only had one {{type|Water}} Pokémon, {{AP|Totodile}}, in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Ash had Kingler rejoin his party in time for the [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. In the second round, after Totodile's loss to {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, Kingler knocked out Poliwhirl with a powerful one-two punch Crabhammer. However, when Ash ordered it to use Vise Grip on {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, the pain gave Psyduck the ability to tap into its {{t|Psychic}} powers and defeat Kingler with an overwhelming {{m|Confusion}} attack. Kingler was sent back to Oak's lab afterward.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', Ash planned to use Kingler in the Johto League [[Silver Conference]] against [[Macy]]'s array of Fire Pokémon, but it was injured while rescuing a trio of runaway {{p|Voltorb}}, who shocked Kingler when it caught them. [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash that Kingler would need to rest up; luckily {{AP|Squirtle}} arrived in time to fill Kingler's spot.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Kingler made a cameo appearance telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', Kingler watched a group of {{p|Marill}} do a dance. This caused it to get dizzy and clamp onto {{AP|Phanpy}}'s tail, which led to a turn of events that caused a group of [[starter Pokémon]] to escape Professor Oak's lab.

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Kingler quickly made friends with [[Ash's Corphish]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Kingler was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash and Kingler.png|thumb|220px|Kingler and Ash]]
Kingler, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it was seen relaxing with Corphish and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Kingler watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In [[JN132]], Kingler appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.

In [[JN135]], Kingler, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In [[JN143]], Kingler was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it helped in freeing a trapped {{p|Wailmer}}. Despite Wailmer evolving into a {{p|Wailord}} and getting stuck again, they were able to free the Float Whale Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
In its [[EP013|debut]], Krabby appeared to be fiery and brash, challenging {{Ash}} to a fight, despite him not even being a Pokémon. However, upon being caught, Krabby mellowed out significantly and became a very modest and quiet Pokémon. This is most likely due to its residence with {{an|Professor Oak}}, who said in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' that Pokémon take on the personality of the person who spends the most time with it.

In {{pkmn|battle}}, Kingler was quite determined, not giving up against [[Mandi]] despite, at face value, being the underdog against all three of his Pokémon. Kingler was a very modest victor, happily hugging its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but not waving to the crowd or gloating at Mandi. These are more of Oak's traits coming through, as opposed to the rest of Ash's team. This is most likely the reason Kingler never secured a permanent position on Ash's team. It has proven strong in battle, loyal, and caring, but the very little time spent together has likely led Ash to feel more secure using his other Pokémon. Kingler, like {{AP|Muk}} and {{AP|Tauros}}, remains a trump card in Ash's arsenal.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===

[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] caught Kingler off-screen as a Krabby and used it in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]''. During the battle, it defeated a {{p|Golbat}}, allowing Ash to move on in the Indigo League tournament.

==Trivia==
[[File:Full Party Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|220px|Krabby's Poké Ball teleporting away due to Ash having a full team]]
* Kingler is the first:
** {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{Ash}} has {{pkmn2|caught}} while having a full [[party]] of six. The same wouldn't happen again until {{AP|Sewaddle}}'s capture in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', 662 episodes later.
** {{type|Water}} Pokémon to have [[Evolution|evolved]] under Ash's ownership, and the only one to have done so until {{AP|Frogadier}} in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', 776 episodes later.
*** Additionally, it was Ash's only evolved Water type until the capture of {{AP|Palpitoad}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''.
** Pokémon to have evolved in a [[Pokémon League]] match, and the only one to have done so until {{AP|Incineroar}} in ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', 1,007 episodes later.
* Kingler is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to have won in a Pokémon League match single-handedly, excluding one-on-one matches.
* Kingler is the only Pokémon Ash caught in [[Kanto]] during the [[original series]] to have not appeared neither physically nor in a flashback during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', only appearing in the photograph at the end of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
* Kingler has had the longest absence of any Pokémon currently belonging to Ash, with a gap of 792 episodes between its physical appearances in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.
** Kingler has also so far gone the longest without being used in an onscreen battle out of all the Pokémon currently in Ash’s possession, having last battled in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Kingler has spent the most amount of time at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], having remained there almost constantly since it was caught in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a game highly based on the anime, Krabby's encounter rate is 70%, as opposed to {{2v2|Red|Blue}}'s encounter rate of 33%. In addition, in Yellow only, it is possible to catch Kingler by [[fishing]] on Route 25. These additions of commonness are likely made as a reference to Ash's Kingler.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]
In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in a forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]].
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Ash and Gary watching a movie]]
[[JN001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that {{an|Professor Oak}} would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, she signed him up but also told him that she had things to do outside of home during the day the camp would take place, so he would have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.

[[XY007|Later]], Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

As seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', Gary and Ash used to be friends at one point of time, and even went to watch movies together. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and [[Gary Oak]] both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the anime. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', followed by a {{AP|Pidgeotto}} the next day.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's {{brocksib|younger siblings}}. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.
[[File:Ash Kanto starters.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Kanto starters]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by its former trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught it.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.

Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16, his defeat coming in the form of his Charizard refusing to battle for him.

Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and {{pkmn2|released}} it back into the wild.

Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 2-on-2; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Ash and friends AG.png|thumb|220px|Ash with his ''Ruby and Sapphire'' traveling companions]]
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Petalburg Gym]] {{FB|Gym|Leader}} [[Norman]]'s children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], Brock rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu actually getting possessed by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s unintentional help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together, when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul would often come out the better in their battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, due to him only keeping Pokémon that were naturally really strong. Ash's Pokémon, though they grew under his command and became strong in their own right, could not yet equal those of Paul's. Later events would soon lead to a particularly crushing defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon in return, this being Ash's heaviest loss in any battle up to that point. Following the defeat, Ash acknowledged that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two official Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, notably using Paul's discarded {{p|Chimchar}}, now an {{p|Infernape}}, to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle at the same magnitude as his loss to Paul at Lake Acuity, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. At the conclusion of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his later travels as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.
[[File:BW040.png|thumb|250px|Ash facing [[Georgia]] in the Club Battle tournament]]
Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and friends ended up again being caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|Forces of Nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash as a {{tc|Baron}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]]]
In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon evolution he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.

Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Bug}}, after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his own invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader {{an|Korrina}} to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.

Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends came across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash would also support Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the villainous team [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|hometown]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.
[[File:Ash and Greninja Bond Phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja activating the Bond Phenomenon]]
Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful to master the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader [[Wulfric]] in a battle where all three of his Pokémon were unable to bring down Wulfric's second Pokémon, {{p|Avalugg}}. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory in, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Mega Charizard X against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.
[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. However, upon hearing Pikachu's voice, Ash resisted the machine's influence, even getting Greninja to do the same thing. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash and Greninja broke free from their bindings by using Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre, and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bade farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, and his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Ash and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Z-Ring]]
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.

Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.

One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}} by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.
[[File:Ash and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Z-Power Ring]]
Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby opened up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
During Kukui and Burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where {{an|Professor Burnet}} temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.

Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-trial". Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

Ash led the Ultra Guardians investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.

Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly-appointed island kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].
[[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]
Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{OBP|Meltan|recurring|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match in Ash's victory.

After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the "outside world" is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash and Goh.png|thumb|250px|Ash, [[Goh]], and their Pokémon]]
Sometime after his return to Kanto, Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the lab, [[Professor Cerise]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named [[Goh]], and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professors' aides|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their own room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the lab to take care of Ash while he stayed there.

[[File:Ash goal JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash's goal of battling Monarch Leon]]
Later, Ash and Goh traveled to the [[Galar]] region to watch the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. The match ended in the victory of Galar's undefeated Champion {{an|Leon}}, thus making him the Monarch, the official strongest Trainer in the {{pkmn|world}}. Inspired by this, Ash decided he wanted to battle Leon himself. However, before he could challenge him, a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} went on a rampage and started causing havoc. While Ash and Goh battled it, Pikachu ended up Gigantamaxing as well, therefore giving him enough power to defeat Drednaw. Leon, impressed by Ash's performance, accepted his challenge to a battle. Ash also received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Leon. After Ash lost, he decided to take part in the World Coronation Series as well and climb through its ranks to one day challenge Leon again.

Upon entering the World Coronation Series, Ash immediately started building up a winning streak, soon even reaching the Great Class after defeating Korrina. Ash's winning streak came to an end, however, when he encountered [[Bea]], a {{type|Fighting}} Gym Leader from Galar, who was also aiming to defeat Leon. In their two-on-two match at the [[Fighting Dojo]], Ash failed to defeat a single one of Bea's Pokémon, with her powerful {{p|Grapploct}} with its many limbs and {{m|Octolock}} proving especially troublesome. This crushing defeat caused Ash to start losing his self-confidence and led to him entering a losing streak, even resulting in him falling back into the Normal Class. This caused him to get depressed, until he was snapped back into his senses by a motivational speech from Goh. Thanks to this, he quickly fought his way back into the Great Class and challenged Bea to a rematch at the [[Cianwood Gym]], managing to tie with her this time.
[[File:Ash and Dynamax Band.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Dynamax Band]]
One night, Ash's Dynamax Band began to glow. After learning about cases of Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ing in Galar outside of {{cat|Power Spots}}, Ash and Goh headed there in order to investigate. Soon after arriving in the region, Ash and Goh ended up getting separated while in the [[Slumbering Weald]], where Ash encountered {{OBP|Zacian|recurring}}, whereas Goh encountered {{OBP|Zamazenta|recurring}}. Later, Ash encountered Leon and joined him in taking care of the Dynamax Pokémon rampaging around Galar. During this quest, they ended up encountering [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] and [[Oleana]], and Ash accompanied them to dine and spend a night at [[Rose Tower]]. When he departed the next day to rendezvous with Goh, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} emerged from the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], starting the [[Darkest Day]] and prompting Ash to head there. At the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash re-encountered Rose and engaged him in a battle, eventually winning thanks to his newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}}. Reuniting with Goh, the two then engaged in a battle against Eternatus, after Leon had failed to stop it. With Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they successfully defeated Eternatus and sealed it away, ending the Darkest Day.

Following his second battle with Bea, Ash entered another winning streak, steadily increasing his ranking. [[JN065|One day]], he received a letter from Iris, challenging him to a World Coronation Series battle. He happily accepted her invitation, but was later surprised to find out that Iris had succeeded [[Alder]] as the new Champion of Unova. After an intense battle, Ash defeated his former traveling companion and rose to the Ultra Class as a result. In his first Ultra Class battle, Ash was pitted against [[Volkner]] and succeeded in defeating him. Following the match, Volkner informed Ash that Cynthia was taking part in the World Coronation Series as well, and had managed to climb her way into the Master Class.
[[File:Ash showcasing his Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Mega Glove]]
Knowing that he was going to be facing very strong opponents in the Ultra and Master Classes, Ash sought Korrina's help to Mega Evolve his Lucario. After receiving a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]] from Korrina, Ash traveled to [[Mega Island]] and managed to obtain himself a [[Lucarionite]], just in time to receive a message informing him that Bea was to be his next Ultra Class opponent. As such, Ash then traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to settle his score with Bea once and for all on her home turf. Using his newly acquired Mega Lucario, Ash was able defeat Bea's Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}, finally earning him a victory against his rival.

After defeating Bea, Ash sought [[Allister]]'s help in Gigantamaxing his {{AP|Gengar}}. Thanks to the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by him, Gengar was able to unlock its Gigantamax potential, which proved useful in Ash's World Coronation Series battle against [[Marnie]].

His victories kept bringing Ash more and more fame as the rising star of Kanto, causing the news of his next Ultra Class battle, this one against [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]], to gain widespread media attention. Following a reunion and a training session with Clemont and Bonnie, Ash took on Drasna and defeated her, putting him at the very top of the Ultra Class. As such, his next match was to be a entrance battle against [[Raihan]], the lowest-ranked Trainer in the Master Class. After briefly reuniting with Greninja in Kalos and having his Lucario train its [[Aura]] with it, Ash felt ready for the match. Raihan, being Leon's long-time rival, gave Ash a very tough challenge, even forcing him to use Gengar's Gigantamax instead of Lucario's Mega Evolution in order to bypass his [[weather]] strategy. Eventually, however, Ash managed to win, officially putting him in the Master Class along with the other reigning regional Champions and Alain.
[[File:Ash accessories.png|thumb|250px|Ash wearing all of his accessories during the Masters Eight Tournament]]
During a visit to the [[Crown Tundra]], Ash reunited with Lillie and her family just as they succeeded in finding Lillie's missing father, [[Mohn]]. He then proceeded to accompany them back to Alola, where a special [[Battle Royal]] was organized to celebrate the homecoming of the Alola Champion. During the Battle Royal, the entire Alola region showed their support for Ash and encouraged him to win the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] as Alola's representative.
[[File:JN123.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Cynthia]]
After some hard training with his Pokémon kept at Professor Oak's lab and Paul, Ash traveled to Galar once more to participate in the Masters Eight Tournament, along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Iris, Alain, and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. After watching the other quarterfinals battles, Ash and Steven began their battle. Although he had a tough time against the Hoenn Champion, Ash was eventually able defeat him with the help of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, advancing him to the semifinals to face Cynthia. After witnessing Leon rather easily defeat Diantha, Ash took on Cynthia. Although Cynthia gained an early lead, Ash gradually evened the odds, until his Mega Lucario finally took home the victory, meaning that Ash and Leon's long-awaited battle was to finally happen.

At the start of the finals, Leon surprised everyone by allowing Ash to use all three of Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves during the battle, which Ash accepted. During the climax of the battle, Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and granted both Trainers an additional use of Dynamax. The climactic showdown ended with a clash between Ash's Pikachu and Leon's Charizard. Ultimately, Ash's partner emerged victorious against the undefeated Charizard, fulfilling Ash's dream of defeating Leon and making him the new Monarch.

Following the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash announced his intentions to set off on a new journey alone to continue learning more about Pokémon and achieve his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. After departing from the Cerise Laboratory, Ash parted ways with Goh, who wished to go his own way to achieve his dream.

Shortly after parting ways with Goh, Ash met an injured wild {{p|Latias}}. He helped to treat her injuries and protected her from being stolen by Team Rocket. As a result, she started to secretly follow him. Soon after, Ash reunited with Misty and Brock, who joined him in his travels once more as they continued to help out Pokémon in need and reuniting with Ash's other old friends like Cilan, the [[Squirtle Squad]], and his Lapras.

===Character===
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his mother]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother {{Delia}}, until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the anime, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers}}, Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this, and previous dealings with villainous teams, Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent "sudden appearances" that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning of the anime, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his Charizard's disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:DP131.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worth of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the [[Johto League]] arc, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu, but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has changed a great deal throughout the anime, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon JN.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments, while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous will power, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the field of romance. Throughout the anime, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the anime have shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movies}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Ash possesses some special abilities as he has the rare ability to use [[Aura]]. He is said to have the same Aura as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read it's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', an unhatched {{AP|Riolu}} reacted to Ash's Aura, and he was able to sense the Egg's response, leading him to it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After he obtained a [[Key Stone]], Ash's Aura powers were enhanced significantly, allowing him and his {{AP|Lucario}} to sense each other from a great distance away. After training with Greninja, Ash and Lucario were able to synchronize their Auras even better, allowing Lucario to make its {{m|Aura Sphere}} grow into massive proportions by drawing power from the Auras of its allies.

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the anime's storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the anime, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.

Once he gained the title of [[Champion]] in the [[Alola]] region, Ash became a local celebrity there, as seen in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'' and ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', and more recently after becoming Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]], Ash became a more recognized figure in other regions, as seen in [[JN141]].

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon JN114.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash with his team and Pokémon at Oak's lab as of ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'']]
[[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Pokémon Ash formerly traveled with (plus the [[Pink Butterfree]])]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} throughout the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. Several of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He often ignores type advantages and has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', he incorporated a twisting-spinning type maneuver in his Pokémon's offensive and defensive techniques, which eventually lead to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. Also, sometimes he will use someone else's battle strategies as shown with [[Paul]] and {{an|Tierno}}, though when using the latter's, Ash stated that his unique strategy is the one he can truly count on, instead of simply mimicking others.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to battle and train with them personally. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue the battle, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will (if sometimes reluctantly) [[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they could get stronger.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he traveled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]]. He usually only does so when battling against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[Pokémon the Series: XY|following series]], though he did leave his Alolan party with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}} at the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

Ash currently has ownership of 77 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolved forms, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has currently officially owned a total of 98 different Pokémon species.

==In the games==
===Core series===
[[File:Abandoned Megamart Ash and Pikachu.png|200px|thumb|Pikachu riding on Ash's shoulder]]
Ash Ketchum is based on {{ga|Red}}, his counterpart from the games. Additionally, "Ash" is one of the suggested names for Red in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], for the rival character {{ga|Blue}} in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} (international) and LeafGreen, and for {{ga|Ethan}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, some elements are based on the anime. Red, the player character, starts with a {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}, which is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Red later receives the trio of Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] in similar circumstances as Ash: {{p|Bulbasaur}} from a girl based on [[Melanie]], {{p|Charmander}} from a boy based on [[Damian]], and {{p|Squirtle}} from an [[Officer Jenny]].

In the Spanish version of [[Pokémon X and Y]], a male {{tc|Rising Star}} in {{rt|21|Kalos}} says that his Pokémon is named "Ash Ketchum".

In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player, {{ga|Elio|Sun}}, receives an unsigned letter from somebody heavily implied to be Ash. Included with this letter is a {{AP|Greninja}}, with "Ash" being listed as its [[Original Trainer]]. Like in the anime, Ash's Greninja can transform into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a photo of Ash and Pikachu can be seen in the back room of the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.

===={{pkmn|event|Events}}====
Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made over the course of the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Later games introduced Pikachu with Ash's hats from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]].

====Pokémon Tretta====
In [[Pokémon Tretta]], Ash and his Pokémon appear in multiple Tretta pucks as a cross-promotion with the anime's ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. When Pikachu is in play, he appears [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing]] [[Ash's hat|Ash's Kalos hat]].

====Pokémon Ga-Olé====
Ash and his Pokémon appear also in multiple {{pkmn|Ga-Olé}} pucks including his Pokémon from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

His ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' incarnation is a character alongside [[Goh]] in Ga-Olé's {{ga-ole|Grand Rush set 4}}. Ash replaced the Experienced Trainer that offers consolation disks if no Pokémon were captured during Get by Battle mode. He, also appears as an opponent in Trainer and Battle Mode, which was available to challenge from February 24, 2020. This was considerably earlier into the set's duration compared to other sets—the {{ga-ole|Ultra Legend set 4|fourth Ultra Legend set}}, which also featured special opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, shares this trait. Ash could be challenged after defeating the other Trainer and Battle Mode opponents. The lineup included 1 new Trainer class in addition to Ash and Goh, who had their [[hometown]] as part of their name instead of "Pokémon Trainer". Promotional disks could also be dispensed for an additional ¥100 following battles with Goh or Ash, with 'WINNER' versions available to players who successfully defeated their teams. Players facing Ash could receive a {{OBP|Mew|Trainer and Battle}} disk or a {{OBP|Lugia|Trainer and Battle}} disk.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is based on the anime. His journey follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In them, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===Movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every Pokémon movie to date, likewise, Ash is the main character in every movie manga adaptation. The same applies to Ash's team as they made similar appearances.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Concept art of Ash's hat from the original series]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash's height is around 4'7" (140 cm).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210219050737/https://pokemonday.pokemon.co.jp/tips/065/ Japanese Pokémon Day website tip #65] (Archived)</ref>
* [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash originally wanted a {{p|Squirtle}} to be his [[starter Pokémon]], but {{an|Professor Oak}} told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].
* In the anime, Ash is the first and, so far, only Trainer:
** With a known [[hometown]] to not be native to any of the regions he is the Champion of.
** With access to [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and [[Mega Evolution]] at the same time.
*** Who has used more than one of those in a single battle.
** Shown to have won two of the same Gym Badge, as he's earned a {{badge|Rain}} from both [[Juan]] and [[Wallace]].
* Ash has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} a female-only Pokémon or a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Ash has caught at least one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of every [[region]] he has visited, except for [[Galar]].
* Ash has caught at least one {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in every [[series]].
** However, he has never caught a Flying-type Pokémon introduced after [[Generation VII]].
** Moreover, Flying is the most common type among Ash's non-temporary Pokémon, with a total of eleven representants.
* As of ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', Ash has caught at least one Pokémon belonging to all eighteen [[type]]s (this includes Pokémon he owns or has owned that have been retroactively made {{type|Fairy}}).
** Also, as of ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'', he has used at least one [[move]] of every type with his Pokémon.
* All of Ash's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* Ash's favorite move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}, as revealed by himself in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''.
* According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s {{pkmn|anime}} novelizations, Ash's birthday is exactly 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days before the day he began his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, in ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', {{Delia}} states that Ash started his journey on his tenth birthday.
* Ash is still considered a 10-year-old in promotional materials and in main series episodes as recent as ''[[JN067|Sleuths for Truth!]]'', despite at least a year having been implied to have passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]''.
** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], creative supervisor for ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and executive director for prior series, has stated in a interview with {{wp|Daniel Arsham}} in ''Arsham's Pokédex'', a collection of Pokémon-related artwork, that Ash does not age because the anime is set in an endless early summer.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, his drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber at various points in the anime, such as in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', ''Climbing the Walls'', and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', to the point of {{an|Misty}} saying "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}" in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', and {{an|Brock}} calling him a "human {{p|Aipom}}" in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* Ash has lost once to every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has met. Out of the four Normal-type Gym Leaders he has battled against, [[Cheren]] is the only one against whom Ash has never won.
* The only region where Ash didn't lose any official Gym battles is the [[Orange Archipelago]].
** Also, Ash did not lose any official trials in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', although he has lost to [[Nanu]] in an [[SM074|unofficial battle]].
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
* If only {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles are counted, Ash's longest winning streak lasted a total of 87 episodes, spanning from his loss to [[Rinto]] in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'' to his loss to Misty in [[JN138]].
** If not, as all of his eligible Pokémon were defeated in a {{DL|Raid Battle (GO)|In the anime|Raid Battle}} against an {{p|Articuno}} in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', the longest period Ash has been on a winning streak is exactly 70 episodes, going from ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.
* Ash has defeated more regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s onscreen in the anime than any other Trainer, having won against {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}.
** Additionally, he has also defeated Wallace, the former [[Hoenn]] Champion.
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary family with one of his rivals in each series.
* ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'' and [[JN133]] are the only main series episodes to not feature Ash in any capacity.
* In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Ash was given the title of (Japanese: ゼンリョクチャレンジャ ''Full-force challenger'').
* [[National Ash Ketchum Day]] is celebrated every September 15, the anniversary of Ash's first [[Pokémon League Conference]] [[SM139|victory]], first being celebrated on said victory's first-year anniversary in 2020.
* In the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] episode ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', a Trainer who bears a resemblance to Ash can be seen at the entrance to [[Wyndon Stadium]] with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

'''Brock's Ludicolo''' (Japanese: '''タケシのルンパッパ''' ''Takeshi's Runpappa'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his sixth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Hoenn====
[[File:Brock Lotad dense nature.png|thumb|left|220px|Lotad's dense nature]]
Before joining Brock's [[party]] in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'', Lotad belonged to a group of Lotad that lived near the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]] between [[Petalburg City]] and [[Rustboro City]]. It was somewhat dense compared to the other Lotad that watered the shop's garden, but thanks to some encouragement from Brock, it was eventually able to water the plants as well. Soon after, it joined Brock's team after rescuing its fellow Lotad from {{TRT}}.

In ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', Lotad battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}, distracting it long enough for {{an|May}} to get out of the water. Once she was safely out, the two attacked each other, with Lotad knocking it away with Water Gun. Brock ordered it to use Water Gun again, but Lotad simply swam up to Sharpedo and watched as it fainted from {{status|poison}} damage that it sustained earlier. Brock took care of Sharpedo, and early the next morning, it was captured by Team Rocket. Using Razor Leaf, Lotad cut the nets and freed Sharpedo, who carried it back to Brock on its back in thanks.

During the events of ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', Lotad rescued some {{p|Mudkip}}, one of which Brock captured. Since then, the two {{t|Water}} types would often be used together, usually to launch a dual Water Gun attack.
[[File:Takeshi's Paradise with Lombre.png|thumb|left|220px|Lombre and Brock left exhausted after performing "[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"]]
Lotad evolved in ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home!]]'', after falling into an empty well. The people of the nearby village claimed {{p|Lombre}} as their "Water Lord," and hoped that it would be able to end the drought blamed on a {{p|Solrock}}. It later did by cooling the Solrock down with Water Gun and creating enough steam to make rain clouds. As a Lombre, it continued to be used often alongside {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Because it looks similar to a sombrero-wearing human, Lombre has performed alongside Brock in his [[Takeshi's Paradise]] outfit.

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', Lombre was used in a mock battle alongside Mudkip against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}} to help {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} train as a [[Battle judge|referee]]. Lombre was quickly pushed into a tough position and Brock had it play dead to give Jimmy an easy judgement. As Jimmy wondered what to do, Ash commanded Swellow to attack Lombre, who retaliated with Razor Leaf. The attack failed to knock out Swellow, and it and Mudkip attacked with duel Water Guns, which Corphish blocked. Jimmy declared Corphish unable to battle, though it sprung back up immediately after. His teacher scolded him for the rash judgement and the battle was put to an end.
[[File:Brock leaving Ludicolo.png|thumb|220px|Ludicolo being left with Brock's siblings]]
In ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', a {{p|Mawile}} became infatuated with a seemingly uninterested Lombre. Brock wished Lombre to reciprocate so that he could get closer to Mawile's Trainer, [[Samantha]], but Lombre appeared apathetic. Later, while Mawile and Samantha were performing onstage, Lombre searched through Samantha's belongings, discovering a [[Water Stone]]. The contact with the Water Stone triggered its evolution into {{p|Ludicolo}}, as well as a change in personality. As a Ludicolo, it now was much more friendly and energetic, and was now willing to return Mawile's affection. Unfortunately for Ludicolo (and Brock), Mawile wanted nothing to do with the fully evolved Pokémon and moved on to other Pokémon, namely a {{p|Psyduck}}. Although surprised, Ludicolo quickly bounced back to its happy state and took Brock with it.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
Because of how much [[Brock's siblings|his brothers and sisters]] enjoyed it, Brock left Ludicolo with his family at the [[Pewter City]] Gym, as revealed in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]''.

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', it was revealed that [[Lola]] and {{ka|Flint}} took Ludicolo with them on holiday so it could carry their luggage.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Brock and Ludicolo.png|thumb|220px|Ludicolo and Brock]]
As a Lotad, Ludicolo's personality was somewhat similar to that of [[Misty's Psyduck]], although Ludicolo was not as frustrating to its Trainer, as Brock is much more patient than {{an|Misty}} was. It usually had a vacant stare about it and was slow to react to the events occurring around it. Nevertheless, it remained a trustworthy Pokémon when called upon to battle or to aid Brock. It proved to be slightly mentally slower than the other Lotad it worked with. Gradually, Lotad grew to be a high-functioning Pokémon, with the help of Brock's encouragement. By the time it evolved into a Lombre it was shown to have a greater sense of its surroundings, occasionally picking up on things that the other Pokémon in the group hadn't.

As a Lombre, Ludicolo was shown to be a very happy Pokémon, often cheering for its teammates in battle. However, Lombre was occasionally apathetic to situations around him, such as in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile!]]'', when it ignored the advances of a {{p|Mawile}}. In said episode, Lombre evolved and its personality changed again; this time, it fell for the Mawile, but was rejected instead. Like all Ludicolo, Brock's enjoys dancing and having fun with other Pokémon. As seen in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', when it carried Brock's parents' luggage, Ludicolo is very helpful as well.

==In the games==
===In the spin-off games===
====[[Pokémon Advanced Generation: Pokémon Number Battle!]]====
Ludicolo appears in [[Pokémon Advanced Generation: Pokémon Number Battle!]].

[[File:Brock Lombre AP.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Lombre]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
Ludicolo first appeared as a Lotad in ''[[SP20|Brock, A Man Of Resolve!!]]''. It was revealed to have evolved into Lombre in ''[[SP28|Saving Kyogre, The Lord Of The Ocean Depths!]]'' and again into Ludicolo in ''[[SP30|The Birth Of The Invincible Team, Max And Ralts!!]]''.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Water Stone AG105.png|thumb|220px|The Water Stone that Lombre accidentally used to evolve]]
* {{an|Brock}}'s capture of Lotad marks the first time that any of [[Ash's friends]] owned a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], all of the moves used by Lotad, Lombre, and Ludicolo could not be learned in the {{pkmn|games}} through leveling up. {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} have to be taught through breeding (though impossible at the same time prior to Generation VI), and {{m|Bullet Seed}} has to be taught through [[TM09]]. Lotad, Lombre, and Ludicolo can learn Water Gun by leveling up as of Generation VIII.
* Ludicolo is the first Pokémon owned by a main character to be shown [[Evolution|evolving]] via an [[Evolution stone]].
* In the English [[dub]] of ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', it was implied by Brock that Ludicolo is male.
* As of [[JN143]], Ludicolo is the only Pokémon owned by Brock while he was a travelling companion of [[Ash]]'s to not re-appear in any series post its series debut.

'''Dondozo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘイラッシャ''' ''Heyrusher'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Dondozo interacts with {{p|Tatsugiri}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}, and Tatsugiri's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}.

==Biology==
Dondozo is a giant piscine Pokémon. Its body has three colors: light blue at the top; dark blue in the middle; and white belly, upper lip, and fins. It has a pair of pectoral fins and a large tail fin surrounded by two smaller fins. On top of its head is a ring of six frills arranged in a circle; the two rightmost frills on the head are much longer and end in flat tips, while the other four are shorter and rounded. It has three gills on either side of its body. Its face has a short protrusion resembling a nose, dark blue lips, a blue tongue, a pair of long {{wp|Barbel (anatomy)|barbels}} above its upper lip, and five barbels on its lower jaw, with one of them being longer and curled, located just below its lower lip.

Dondozo is a heavy eater. Although powerful, Dondozo is dull and not very good at hunting, so it teams up with {{p|Tatsugiri}} to catch prey. The Tatsugiri would bait their prey by playing dead, and then commands Dondozo to attack. Dondozo is loyal to Tatsugiri and acts as its subordinate, protecting it inside its mouth from enemies. {{p|Basculin}} is among the species Dondozo preys upon.

Dondozo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Order Up}}.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Dondozo, together with a giant Tatsugiri, are both known as the False Dragon Titan, one of the [[Titan Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Trivia==
* Dondozo is the [[list of Pokémon by height|tallest Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Dondozo seems to be based on a {{wp|catfish}}, such the {{wp|wels catfish}} that is native to Europe and was introduced to Spain. Dondozo may also be based on a {{wp|sushi}} chef, considering its relationship with {{p|Tatsugiri}} and the frills on its head which resemble a bandana or headband commonly worn as part of a sushi chef's uniform.

Dondozo keeping Tatsugiri inside its mouth may be a reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouth-brooding}}, a parenting style performed by some species of catfish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth.

Dondozo's low smarts and larger size compared to Tatsugiri, combined with their synergy together, seem to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media. Tatsugiri acting as the boss supports this, as the "Brains" is most often the leader in these team-ups.

====Name origin====
Dondozo may be a combination of ''don'' (Spanish for lord) and どうぞ ''dōzo'' (Japanese for "please (help yourself)"; typically said when offering something). ''Don'' also refers to a crime boss, which may allude to Dondozo's relationship with Tatsugiri, who acts as its {{wp|consigliere}}.

Heyrusher may be a combination of へいらっしゃい ''e irasshai'' ("Come on in"; typically said by store attendants when greeting customers) and the agentive suffix ～者 ''-sha''. ''Shari'' is also a word for sushi rice, further emphasizing its inspiration to a sushi chef.

Rock (type)

2022-11-21T15:39:10Z

ShallowShaddoll: /* Notable Rock-type Trainers */

{{types}}
The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=rock
|HP=68.03
|Attack=91.12
|Defense=104.24
|SpAtk=59.81
|SpDef=72.58
|Speed=53.69
|Total=449.47 }}

===Fully evolved===
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=rock
|HP=77.84
|Attack=101.75
|Defense=114.70
|SpAtk=70
|SpDef=98.34
|Speed=63.27
|Total=525.90 }}


==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle

|resist3=Normal
|resist4=Poison
|weaken1=Bug
|weaken2=Fire
|weaken3=Flying
|weaken4=Ice
|resisted1=Fighting
|resisted2=Ground
}}

===Generation II onward===
Rock-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition.

Starting in [[Generation IV]], Rock-type Pokémon have their {{stat|Special Defense}} boosted by 50% during a sandstorm.

{{typebattle

|weaken2=Fire
|weaken3=Flying
|weaken4=Ice
|resisted1=Fighting
|resisted2=Ground
|resisted3=Steel
}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five. Additionally, double weaknesses among Rock types are very common.

Since [[Generation IV]], the Special Defense of a Rock-type Pokémon is increased by 50% during a {{weather|sandstorm}}, in addition to being immune to the damage caused by it.

Rock-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon, but typically among the highest {{stat|Defense}} and above-average {{stat|Special Defense}}, as well as resistances against four common types.

===Offense===
In particular, Rock pairs well with Ground, since very few Pokémon naturally resist this combination. Most Rock-types can learn {{m|Earthquake}} to this end. The biggest drawback of Rock-type moves is the large percentage of moves which have less than 100% [[accuracy]].

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Rock-type moves are typically {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}} Rock-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, causing it to tie with {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dark}} and before {{t|Poison}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Water}} or {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon and some {{TCG|Colorless}} Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve. [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, with five.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only {{m|Diamond Storm|one}}.
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{type|Electric}} attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolution lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon around at the time (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
* In the anime on multiple occasions, like in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'' and ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'', {{t|Ground}} and Rock-type Pokémon are said to have a strong aversion to water and generally being wet. {{p|Rhydon}} is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move {{m|Surf}}.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{t|Grass}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five. However, a combination of the two types (Rock/Grass) would only have four weaknesses.
** Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception.
* Most [[Fossil]] Pokémon are either part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* [[Johto]]'s [[Olivine Gym]] was a Rock-type Gym before the {{t|Steel}} type was discovered.
** This makes [[Unova]] the only region with Gyms not known to have ever had a Rock-type Gym.
* The Rock-type has the fewest [[special move]]s of all types, with three.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until [[Generation II]], with only {{p|Sudowoodo}}.
* The Rock type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes Rock the only type to not have been paired up with {{t|Ghost}}.

Masters Eight Tournament

2022-11-04T10:20:52Z

ShallowShaddoll: /* Bracket */

[[File:Wyndon Stadium anime.png|thumb|250px|The setting for the competition]]
[[File:Masters Eight Tournament Participants.png|250px|thumb|The opening ceremony]]
The '''Masters Eight Tournament''' (Japanese: '''マスターズトーナメント''' ''Masters Tournament'') is a tournament held at the end of a [[World Coronation Series]] ranking season, where the top eight ranked competitors, known as the Masters Eight, face off to determine the most powerful [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the world, known as the Monarch.

The previous tournament ended in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''. The current tournament began in [[JN115]]. Both editions so far have utilized the single-elimination format.

The event is held at [[Wyndon Stadium]] in the [[Galar]] region.

==Competition==
===Opening ceremony===
During the opening ceremony, each member of the Masters Eight is introduced one by one, after which the match-ups of the first round are chosen by random seeding.

===Rounds===
In this tournament, each Trainer can only use techniques such as [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], [[Z-Move]]s, or [[Mega Evolution]] once per match. Both challengers must send out their first Pokémon at the same time and may switch their Pokémon at any time. There is no time limit for any of the matches. The battlefield used for all matches is a standard dirt field.

====Quarterfinals====
The quarterfinals are 3-on-3 matches. The winners here move on to the semifinals.

====Semifinals====
The semifinals are [[Full Battle]]s. The winners here move on to the finals.

====Finals====
The final match is a Full Battle. The winner here is crowned Monarch, a title that is carried over to the next season. At Leon's request, an exception was made in his battle against Ash to allow each Trainer to use every technique at their disposal.

==Current season==

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] and becomes the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the {{pkmn|world}} after obtaining the title of Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''.

He is {{Ash}}'s main rival in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', with defeating Leon serving as his primary goal throughout the series.

===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey and as soon as they started their journey, Leon had his first Pokémon battle against Sonia herself.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of competitive Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

On his journey, Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, and eventually reached the top spot among the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with his [[rival]] [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which they defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He and Ash later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner. When Eternatus ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.
[[File:JN044.png|thumb|250px|Leon about to face Eternatus]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with [[Sonia]], Leon witnessed Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose, who had disappeared after the incident.

Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]] but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against {{EF|Flint}}. After yet another victory, Leon met up with Ash and invited him to a training session. Upon arriving at a place within the [[Wild Area]], Leon and Ash decided to camp and participate in activities with some Pokémon they met in the area. After having the experience interrupted by a pair of {{p|Corviknight}}, they discovered that one of the {{p|Rookidee}} from their nest was injured, so they decided to help them. At the end of the day, Leon revealed some feelings and doubts to Ash before leaving to meet with Goh and Sonia.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Leon was interviewed giving his opinion on the upcoming battle between Ash and Raihan. In the [[JN109|next episode]], he was one of the commentators of said battle at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|left|Leon and Alain]]
In [[JN115]], Leon participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Lance, and meeting {{an|Iris}}, [[Alain]], and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be Alain. Despite Alain managing to defeat Leon's Gigantamax {{p|Rillaboom}}, Leon still won the match without needing to use his final Pokémon at all. In the [[JN116|next episode]], Leon watched Lance and [[Diantha]]'s battle, where the [[Kalos]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Leon was shown to be looking forward to battling Diantha in the semi-finals. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Leon watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In [[JN122]], Leon battled Diantha in the semi-finals. He was able to defeat her entire team while only losing two of his own and advanced to the finals as a result. Afterwards, Leon and Diantha watched Ash's battle against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle he was quite impressed with Ash's performance and how he handled himself against his opponent. After the battle, Leon admitted to Diantha that he was looking forward to battling Ash in the finals.

In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident. Seeing this, Goh decided to entrust Eternatus to Leon.

In [[JN129]], as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted.

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since the [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.

Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.
[[File:Leon party.png|thumb|250px|Leon's Pokémon party]]
As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions. As in the games, Leon is idealized by his younger brother [[Hop]], who yearns to defeat him in battle. Hop also reveals that Leon often talks to him about Ash's progression in the World Coronation Series.

In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as first seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first. In his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] campaign, however, Leon took a different approach, for example [[Gigantamax]]ing his other Pokémon other than Charizard, using more direct attacks and focusing on covering the deficiencies his Pokémon have in speed and other attributes.

Like [[Leon|his game counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]] and [[JN100|later]] getting lost while traveling with Ash through the [[Wild Area]].

===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. Due to having to take care of his family for a long time, she was his only friend and taught Leon the concepts of a [[Pokémon battle]]. During this period, Leon found a {{p|Charmander}} that would become [[Starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] and what motivated him to go on a [[Pokémon journey]]. Sonia and Leon traveled together when they started on their journey and as soon as they started their journey, Leon had his first Pokémon battle against Sonia herself.

In his first victory in battle, it was evident that Leon had a natural gift for being a great Trainer. In this period, Leon met more people and knew more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of competitive Pokémon battles. But, Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him, which made the two go their separate ways over time. In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Rose reveals that his goal with this was to guide Leon so that he would become the hero of Galar, and be able to control {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}.

On his journey, Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, and eventually reached the top spot among the Masters Eight of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with his [[rival]] [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which they defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He and Ash later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner. When Eternatus ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.
[[File:JN044.png|thumb|250px|Leon about to face Eternatus]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with [[Sonia]], Leon witnessed Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose, who had disappeared after the incident.

Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]] but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Leon defended his title in a battle against {{EF|Flint}}. After yet another victory, Leon met up with Ash and invited him to a training session. Upon arriving at a place within the [[Wild Area]], Leon and Ash decided to camp and participate in activities with some Pokémon they met in the area. After having the experience interrupted by a pair of {{p|Corviknight}}, they discovered that one of the {{p|Rookidee}} from their nest was injured, so they decided to help them. At the end of the day, Leon revealed some feelings and doubts to Ash before leaving to meet with Goh and Sonia.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Leon was interviewed giving his opinion on the upcoming battle between Ash and Raihan. In the [[JN109|next episode]], he was one of the commentators of said battle at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]].
[[File:Alain and Leon.png|thumb|250px|left|Leon and Alain]]
In [[JN115]], Leon participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash and Lance, and meeting {{an|Iris}}, [[Alain]], and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be Alain. Despite Alain managing to defeat Leon's Gigantamax {{p|Rillaboom}}, Leon still won the match without needing to use his final Pokémon at all. In the [[JN116|next episode]], Leon watched Lance and [[Diantha]]'s battle, where the [[Kalos]] Champion emerged victorious. After the battle, Leon was shown to be looking forward to battling Diantha in the semi-finals. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Leon watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In [[JN122]], Leon battled Diantha in the semi-finals. He was able to defeat her entire team while only losing two of his own and advanced to the finals as a result. Afterwards, Leon and Diantha watched Ash's battle against {{an|Cynthia}}. During the battle he was quite impressed with Ash's performance and how he handled himself against his opponent. After the battle, Leon admitted to Diantha that he was looking forward to battling Ash in the finals.

In [[JN127]], Leon called Ash and Goh to [[Wyndon Stadium]], where he revealed that he, Professor Magnolia, and Sonia had been working with Eternatus for it to become comfortable around people ever since the Darkest Day incident. Seeing this, Goh decided to entrust Eternatus to Leon.

In [[JN129]], as Ash and Leon's battle was about to begin, Leon requested that Ash should be allowed to use [[Mega Evolution]], [[Z-Move]]s, and Dynamax, instead of just one of them, which was accepted.

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to {{Ash}} that since the [[Darkest Day]] he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. [[Sonia]] is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with [[Raihan]] and {{EF|Flint}}. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.

Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.
[[File:Leon party.png|thumb|250px|Leon's Pokémon party]]
As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions. As in the games, Leon is idealized by his younger brother [[Hop]], who yearns to defeat him in battle. Hop also reveals that Leon often talks to him about Ash's progression in the World Coronation Series.

In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as first seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first. In his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] campaign, however, Leon took a different approach, for example [[Gigantamax]]ing his other Pokémon other than Charizard, using more direct attacks and focusing on covering the deficiencies his Pokémon have in speed and other attributes.

Like [[Leon|his game counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]] and [[JN100|later]] getting lost while traveling with Ash through the [[Wild Area]].

|desc={{p|Charizard}} is Leon's [[starter Pokémon]], as well as his ace and capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. It was first seen being used in Leon's battle against {{an|Lance}} in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and won.

In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Charizard was used to battle {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and once again, it emerged victorious.

In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Charizard was used to battle [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}, emerging victorious in the end once more.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon called on Charizard to battle {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}. It was able to battle the Legendary Pokémon for some time, although Eternatus was able to prevent it from Gigantamaxing. After Leon's failed attempt at catching Eternatus, Charizard was injured in the blast caused by it transforming into its {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form, forcing Leon to recall it.

In [[JN115]], Charizard was the second Pokémon Leon used during his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against [[Alain]]. It easily defeated his {{p|Malamar}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, making Leon the winner of the battle.

In [[JN122]], Charizard was one of the three Pokémon Leon used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against [[Diantha]]. Despite [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], Charizard was able to defeat it and win the battle for Leon.

Charizard's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}}, {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Rock Tomb}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Ancient Power}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. 
As a Gigantamax Charizard, it can use {{m|Max Lightning}}, {{m|Max Airstream}}, {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, and {{m|Max Knuckle}}.}}

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Steven is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone anime AG.png|thumb|left|220px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Steven was first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to know.

In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] informed [[Max]] that Steven was in nearby [[Granite Cave]], so the group began their search for him.

He then debuted in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Instead, [[Wallace]] was said to be the Champion later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Steven and his {{p|Aron}} were digging in Granite Cave, looking for rare stones. As Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} fell down a hole, Steven ended his excavation and quickly checked out what caused the crash to occur. Steven first found Max, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{MTR}} wondering around the cave.

Having been in Granite Cave for several months, Steven escorted Max and the others to a crack in the cave floor. Soon enough they spotted Ash and the others, who were being chased by a horde of agitated Aron. He ordered them to rush over to the nearby waterfall. At the meeting spot, Steven had his own Aron use {{m|Roar}} to calm the agitated horde. He then told the horde that the group were good people and ordered the back to their roosts. After both sides were reunited with each other, Steven found out that Team Rocket were the ones who caused the Aron to get angry. Steven handled Team Rocket on his own by having his {{p|Aggron}} blast them off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Afterwards, Steven found a [[Fire Stone]] with the help of Aron. He decided to lead the group out of Granite Cave and took them to a deserted inlet, an ideal place for Ash to train for his [[rematch]] with [[Brawly]]. Having found a rare stone, Steven boarded his small boat to continue his search for other stones and wished the group luck for the future.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
====Mega Evolution Specials====
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
Steven reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he battled [[Alain]] using his {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but the battle was interrupted by [[Lysandre]]. Deciding to cooperate with Alain and company, Steven traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their [[Key Stone]]s to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the Legendary Pokémon, but were overwhelmed.
[[File:Steven and Alain.png|thumb|250px|left|Steven and Alain]]
In this [[series]], Steven was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Steven brought Alain and [[Mairin]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] headquarters to analyze the situation of the missing Giant Rock. There, they received a conference call from Lysandre, who informed them that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and were set to collide in the middle of the ocean. Steven recalled the Primal Reversion myth, and feared that the two Pokémon clashing again could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, he and Alain departed on a plane to check on the situation from the sky, with Mairin secretly stowing away with them.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', he, Mairin, and [[Chespie]] returned to [[Kalos]]. They contacted {{an|Professor Sycamore}} regarding Alain as he separated from them. Later, they arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]] with Lysandre and his secretary waiting for them. While Lysandre's secretary escorted Mairin to watch Alain battle ten Trainers, Steven and Lysandre discussed the Giant Rock. Lysandre showed Steven the Giant Rock in another room and explained that it is kept in a high-security tank to prevent energy from leaking out, as well as bringing up the fact that the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] fought in [[Hoenn]] previously. Steven was then seen watching the battle between Alain and [[Malva]]. After the battle, Steven arrived to where Chespie was lying on a bed, unconscious from absorbing too much energy from an experiment.

====Main series====
[[File:Steven and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Sawyer]]
Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', where he met [[Sawyer]]. He also appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.

From ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Steven joined the battle against [[Team Flare]]. He eventually battled alongside Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]], and all of Kalos's [[Gym Leader]]s during the joint effort to stop the [[Giant Rock]].

It was revealed in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'' that Steven gave Sawyer a [[Key Stone]]. Later, in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Steven and Sawyer were shown at Lysandre Labs, studying the Giant Rock that was recently held there. He proceeded to give Sawyer some information, which Sawyer promptly wrote down in his notebook.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone JN.png|250px|thumb|left|Steven in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Steven appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', when {{Ash}} mentioned him to [[Wallace]].

In [[JN109]], Steven was revealed to be in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], being ranked third.

Steven appeared in a fantasy in [[JN114]], when [[Goh]] mentioned him to [[Paul]].
[[File:Ash and Steven.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Ash]]
In [[JN115]], Steven participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Diantha, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. When it was revealed that Ash would be his first opponent, Steven revealed that he would finally have the chance to battle him. When asked by {{an|Lance}} if he knew Alain, Steven replied that he knew him through the Key Stones excavations and also revealed that he hoped Alain would not be overwhelmed by {{an|Leon}} in the very first match of the tournament.

After watching the other battles in the [[JN116|following]] [[JN117|episodes]], Steven and Ash began their battle. In [[JN118]], Steven was able to hold his own against Ash, but was defeated by the [[Alola]] Champion, making him the fourth person to be eliminated from the tournament. Following his loss, Steven wished Ash good luck for the remainder of the competition and returned to Hoenn.

==Character==
Similar to his game counterpart, Steven is reserved and interested in collecting [[Evolution stone|stones]]. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', he did care for the {{p|Aron}} in the [[Granite Cave]] and attempted to stop a herd of them from chasing {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}}. He battled Team Rocket after discovering that they were the ones who made the Aron horde angry.

During ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', he became more open to Trainers, such as [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]]. He is seen as a sort of mentor figure by [[Sawyer]], whom Steven gave a [[Key Stone]] and [[Sceptilite]]. His usual calm, and a bit playful demeanor is constantly reflected throughout the series, such as during his battles against Alain and [[Mable]]; nevertheless, he can be serious when the situation demands. In a particular instance, he was not greatly disappointed or enraged after learning [[Lysandre]]'s true intentions, displaying his happy-go-lucky personality.

Being the gentle and playful person as he is, he was not worried when he and his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} were outnumbered by Mable and {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s during their battle, also reflecting his strong bond and great confidence in his Pokémon. He tends to appreciate others for their efforts, and has a great sense of honor for fellow [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]s, as displayed during his interactions with [[Diantha]], {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Steven is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone anime AG.png|thumb|left|220px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Steven was first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to know.

In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] informed [[Max]] that Steven was in nearby [[Granite Cave]], so the group began their search for him.

He then debuted in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Instead, [[Wallace]] was said to be the Champion later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Steven and his {{p|Aron}} were digging in Granite Cave, looking for rare stones. As Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} fell down a hole, Steven ended his excavation and quickly checked out what caused the crash to occur. Steven first found Max, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{MTR}} wondering around the cave.

Having been in Granite Cave for several months, Steven escorted Max and the others to a crack in the cave floor. Soon enough they spotted Ash and the others, who were being chased by a horde of agitated Aron. He ordered them to rush over to the nearby waterfall. At the meeting spot, Steven had his own Aron use {{m|Roar}} to calm the agitated horde. He then told the horde that the group were good people and ordered the back to their roosts. After both sides were reunited with each other, Steven found out that Team Rocket were the ones who caused the Aron to get angry. Steven handled Team Rocket on his own by having his {{p|Aggron}} blast them off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Afterwards, Steven found a [[Fire Stone]] with the help of Aron. He decided to lead the group out of Granite Cave and took them to a deserted inlet, an ideal place for Ash to train for his [[rematch]] with [[Brawly]]. Having found a rare stone, Steven boarded his small boat to continue his search for other stones and wished the group luck for the future.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
====Mega Evolution Specials====
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
Steven reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he battled [[Alain]] using his {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but the battle was interrupted by [[Lysandre]]. Deciding to cooperate with Alain and company, Steven traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their [[Key Stone]]s to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the Legendary Pokémon, but were overwhelmed.
[[File:Steven and Alain.png|thumb|250px|left|Steven and Alain]]
In this [[series]], Steven was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Steven brought Alain and [[Mairin]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] headquarters to analyze the situation of the missing Giant Rock. There, they received a conference call from Lysandre, who informed them that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and were set to collide in the middle of the ocean. Steven recalled the Primal Reversion myth, and feared that the two Pokémon clashing again could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, he and Alain departed on a plane to check on the situation from the sky, with Mairin secretly stowing away with them.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', he, Mairin, and [[Chespie]] returned to [[Kalos]]. They contacted {{an|Professor Sycamore}} regarding Alain as he separated from them. Later, they arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]] with Lysandre and his secretary waiting for them. While Lysandre's secretary escorted Mairin to watch Alain battle ten Trainers, Steven and Lysandre discussed the Giant Rock. Lysandre showed Steven the Giant Rock in another room and explained that it is kept in a high-security tank to prevent energy from leaking out, as well as bringing up the fact that the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] fought in [[Hoenn]] previously. Steven was then seen watching the battle between Alain and [[Malva]]. After the battle, Steven arrived to where Chespie was lying on a bed, unconscious from absorbing too much energy from an experiment.

====Main series====
[[File:Steven and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Sawyer]]
Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', where he met [[Sawyer]]. He also appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.

From ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Steven joined the battle against [[Team Flare]]. He eventually battled alongside Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]], and all of Kalos's [[Gym Leader]]s during the joint effort to stop the [[Giant Rock]].

It was revealed in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'' that Steven gave Sawyer a [[Key Stone]]. Later, in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Steven and Sawyer were shown at Lysandre Labs, studying the Giant Rock that was recently held there. He proceeded to give Sawyer some information, which Sawyer promptly wrote down in his notebook.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone JN.png|250px|thumb|left|Steven in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Steven appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', when {{Ash}} mentioned him to [[Wallace]].

In [[JN109]], Steven was revealed to be in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], being ranked third.

Steven appeared in a fantasy in [[JN114]], when [[Goh]] mentioned him to [[Paul]].
[[File:Ash and Steven.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Ash]]
In [[JN115]], Steven participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Diantha, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. When it was revealed that Ash would be his first opponent, Steven revealed that he would finally have the chance to battle him.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]].

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Steven is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone anime AG.png|thumb|left|220px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Steven was first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to know.

In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] informed [[Max]] that Steven was in nearby [[Granite Cave]], so the group began their search for him.

He then debuted in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Instead, [[Wallace]] was said to be the Champion later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Steven and his {{p|Aron}} were digging in Granite Cave, looking for rare stones. As Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} fell down a hole, Steven ended his excavation and quickly checked out what caused the crash to occur. Steven first found Max, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{MTR}} wondering around the cave.

Having been in Granite Cave for several months, Steven escorted Max and the others to a crack in the cave floor. Soon enough they spotted Ash and the others, who were being chased by a horde of agitated Aron. He ordered them to rush over to the nearby waterfall. At the meeting spot, Steven had his own Aron use {{m|Roar}} to calm the agitated horde. He then told the horde that the group were good people and ordered the back to their roosts. After both sides were reunited with each other, Steven found out that Team Rocket were the ones who caused the Aron to get angry. Steven handled Team Rocket on his own by having his {{p|Aggron}} blast them off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Afterwards, Steven found a [[Fire Stone]] with the help of Aron. He decided to lead the group out of Granite Cave and took them to a deserted inlet, an ideal place for Ash to train for his [[rematch]] with [[Brawly]]. Having found a rare stone, Steven boarded his small boat to continue his search for other stones and wished the group luck for the future.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
====Mega Evolution Specials====
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
Steven reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he battled [[Alain]] using his {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but the battle was interrupted by [[Lysandre]]. Deciding to cooperate with Alain and company, Steven traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their [[Key Stone]]s to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the Legendary Pokémon, but were overwhelmed.
[[File:Steven and Alain.png|thumb|250px|left|Steven and Alain]]
In this [[series]], Steven was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Steven brought Alain and [[Mairin]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] headquarters to analyze the situation of the missing Giant Rock. There, they received a conference call from Lysandre, who informed them that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and were set to collide in the middle of the ocean. Steven recalled the Primal Reversion myth, and feared that the two Pokémon clashing again could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, he and Alain departed on a plane to check on the situation from the sky, with Mairin secretly stowing away with them.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', he, Mairin, and [[Chespie]] returned to [[Kalos]]. They contacted {{an|Professor Sycamore}} regarding Alain as he separated from them. Later, they arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]] with Lysandre and his secretary waiting for them. While Lysandre's secretary escorted Mairin to watch Alain battle ten Trainers, Steven and Lysandre discussed the Giant Rock. Lysandre showed Steven the Giant Rock in another room and explained that it is kept in a high-security tank to prevent energy from leaking out, as well as bringing up the fact that the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] fought in [[Hoenn]] previously. Steven was then seen watching the battle between Alain and [[Malva]]. After the battle, Steven arrived to where Chespie was lying on a bed, unconscious from absorbing too much energy from an experiment.

====Main series====
[[File:Steven and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Sawyer]]
Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', where he met [[Sawyer]]. He also appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.

From ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Steven joined the battle against [[Team Flare]]. He eventually battled alongside Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]], and all of Kalos's [[Gym Leader]]s during the joint effort to stop the [[Giant Rock]].

It was revealed in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'' that Steven gave Sawyer a [[Key Stone]]. Later, in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Steven and Sawyer were shown at Lysandre Labs, studying the Giant Rock that was recently held there. He proceeded to give Sawyer some information, which Sawyer promptly wrote down in his notebook.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
[[File:Steven Stone JN.png|250px|thumb|left|Steven in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Steven appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', when {{Ash}} mentioned him to [[Wallace]].

In [[JN109]], Steven was revealed to be in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], being ranked third.

Steven appeared in a fantasy in [[JN114]], when [[Goh]] mentioned him to [[Paul]].
[[File:Ash and Steven.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Ash]]
In [[JN115]], Steven participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Diantha, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. When it was revealed that Ash would be his first opponent, Steven revealed that he would finally have the chance to battle him. When asked by {{an|Lance}} if he knew Alain, Steven replied that he knew him through the Key Stones excavations and also revealed that he hoped Alain would not be overwhelmed by {{an|Leon}} in the very first match of the tournament.

After watching the other battles in the [[JN116|following]] [[JN117|episodes]], Steven and Ash began their battle. In [[JN118]], Steven was able to hold his own against Ash, but was defeated by the [[Alola]] Champion, making him the fourth person to be eliminated from the tournament. Following his loss, Steven wished Ash good luck for the remainder of the competition and returned to Hoenn.

==Character==
Similar to his game counterpart, Steven is reserved and interested in collecting [[Evolution stone|stones]]. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', he did care for the {{p|Aron}} in the [[Granite Cave]] and attempted to stop a herd of them from chasing {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}}. He battled Team Rocket after discovering that they were the ones who made the Aron horde angry.

During ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', he became more open to Trainers, such as [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]]. He is seen as a sort of mentor figure by [[Sawyer]], whom Steven gave a [[Key Stone]] and [[Sceptilite]]. His usual calm, and a bit playful demeanor is constantly reflected throughout the series, such as during his battles against Alain and [[Mable]]; nevertheless, he can be serious when the situation demands. In a particular instance, he was not greatly disappointed or enraged after learning [[Lysandre]]'s true intentions, displaying his happy-go-lucky personality.

Being the gentle and playful person as he is, he was not worried when he and his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} were outnumbered by Mable and {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s during their battle, also reflecting his strong bond and great confidence in his Pokémon. He tends to appreciate others for their efforts, and has a great sense of honor for fellow [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]s, as displayed during his interactions with [[Diantha]], {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}.

==Biology==
Arcanine is a quadrupedal, {{wp|canidae|canine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an orange pelt marked by jagged black stripes. It has diamond-shaped ears with beige insides, black eyes, a round, black nose, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Its head, muzzle, and chest are covered in shaggy, beige fur, except for two oval sections around each eye and ear. Long tufts of fur grow behind its elbows and around its ankles. Its underside is black, and it has a billowing, beige tail that is bent in the middle. Each paw has three toes and a round, pink pad.

Arcanine is a fiercely brave and loyal Pokémon. It is capable of running {{tt|6,200 miles|10,000 kilometers}} in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Extreme Speed}} was its [[signature move]]. Arcanine has long been admired for its beauty and speed, and anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. The source of its power is a flame blazing wildly inside its body. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Arcanine is rarely found in the wild, but when found, it is usually seen living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|prairies}}, and [[Pokémon Snap]] has also shown it living in active volcanoes. [[AG139|In the anime]], it was shown that it stashes food in its mane and carries it to its nest for its young.

In [[Hisui]], Arcanine has a slightly different look due to the volcanic activity of the environment it lives in. Its body fur is red-orange while its muzzle, mane, tail, eyebrows, and tufts of fur behind its elbows and around its ankles are gray, and the insides of its ears are light gray. The gray fur is made out of igneous rock components. Its cheek mane, ankle fur, and tail form into curls. Its elbow fur resemble wings. It has a large horn in the center of its head and three small horns between its head and ears. Its mane form into curled clumps at the back of its neck and large rectangular clumps on the sides and bottom of its neck. The rectangular clumps have light red-orange markings on them.

Hisuian Arcanine uses its fangs while engulfed in flames to snap at foes. Despite how deceivingly bulky Hisuian Arcanine is, it moves around nimbly like a dancer. This allows it to lead opponents in a merry chase while avoiding them at the same time.

A special Hisuian Arcanine is worshipped by the Hisui people due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. It is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in [[Cobalt Coastlands]] watched by a [[Warden]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|250px|Engravings of "Legendary Pokémon" {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and Arcanine in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Arcanine was originally known as ''Blaze''.
* Despite the [[Pokémon category]] name, Arcanine is not an actual [[Legendary Pokémon]]. It is the only Pokémon species to have "Legendary Pokémon" as the Pokémon category.
** However, Arcanine was seen in an engraving along with [[Legendary birds]] {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.
* Many of Arcanine's Pokédex entries—starting with the one in the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red}}—[[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|reference the real world]], specifically {{wp|China}}.
* Arcanine and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|male-female ratio of 3:1]] that aren't in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
* Hisuian Arcanine and its pre-evolved form were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1500305951479324673 Tweet by 水谷恵 (@megtany).] Posted on March 6, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Arcanine may be based on the Ryukyuan シーサー ''{{wp|shisa}}'', or 狛犬 ''{{wp|komainu}}'', mythical creatures that resemble a mix between {{wp|lion}}s and {{wp|dog}}s. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. Its stripes and coloration are reminiscent of {{wp|tiger}}s. It could also be based on the {{wp|Xiezhi}}, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers. It may also draw inspiration from dogs with brindle ("tiger-striped") coat patterns, such as the 甲斐犬 {{wp|Kai Ken}}. Growlithe and Arcanine also share traits with the now-extinct canid species known as {{wp|Tasmanian tiger}}, given its orange fur with black stripes.

In its Hisuian Form, its Rock typing and appearance may be based on the Komainu statues. Its ankle fur and tail resemble {{wp|Plume (fluid dynamics)|plume}}s of smoke.

====Name origin====
Arcanine may be a combination of ''arcane'' and ''{{wp|canine}}''. It may also derive from ''{{wp|arson}}'', given its Fire-typing.

Windie may refer to ''wind'' or ''windy'', reflecting its defining nature of being fast like the wind, further emphasized by {{m|Extreme Speed}} being its [[signature move]] in [[Generation II]].

'''Ceruledge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソウブレイズ''' ''Soubureizu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

==Biology==
Ceruledge wear an old armor filled with grudges while wielding swords created from both fire and ghost energy. Ceruledge's swords can transformed into great swords, increasing its power in the process. Any cuts from the swords will cause life energy to emerge from wounds before being absorbed by the great swords. Ceruledge will do anything to win a battle no matter what. As a result, Ceruledge prefers to do close-quarters combat, with a mix sneak and surprise attacks. By using its quick speed to locate a foe's blind spot, it will then move closer before slashing foes with its large blades<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ceruledge/</ref>.

Ceruledge is the only Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Bitter Blade}}.


==Trivia==

===Origin===
Ceruledge may be based on an ''{{wp|Akuma (folklore)|Akuma}}''; a Japanese fire spirit often depicted carrying a sword. However, its attire appears to be based on a European knight as opposed to Asian.

====Name origin====
Ceruledge may be a combination of ''cerulean'' and ''edge''.

Soubureizu may be a combination of 蒼 ''sō'' (blue), ''soul'', ''blade'', and ''blaze''.

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} {{tc|Grand Duchess}}.

==In the core-series games==
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]].

She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, as Ash and [[Alain]] each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In [[JN109]], Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In [[JN115]], Diantha participated in the [[Masters Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics will skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In [[PS568]], Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} Chalmers. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into Team Flare's clutches.

In [[PS574]], Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In [[PS582]], Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In [[PS586]], Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In [[PS587]], Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In [[PS590]], Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In [[PS593]], Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DianthaForbiddenLight130.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Diantha]]
{{main|Diantha (Forbidden Light 105)}}
'''Diantha''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in Forbidden Light with an illustration by [[nagimiso]]. It allows the player to put 2 cards from the discard pile into their hand if one of the player's {{e|Fairy}} Pokémon was Knocked out in the opponent's last turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil]] Pokémon introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the backround of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Diantha is the only member of the [[World Coronation Series|final Masters Eight lineup]] in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' who is not confirmed to own a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

'''Cynthia's Garchomp''' (Japanese: '''シロナのガブリアス''' ''Shirona's Gaburias'') is [[Cynthia]]'s main {{pkmn|battle|battling}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{pkmn|games}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp vs Paul Torterra.png|220px|thumb|left|Garchomp defeating Paul's Torterra]]
[[File:Cynthia and Garchomp.png|250px|thumb|Garchomp and Cynthia]]
Garchomp debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where she was seen battling [[Lucian]]'s {{p|Bronzong}}. Even though Bronzong was shown to be a powerful Pokémon in the battle against {{an|Dawn}}'s {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', the {{pkmn|category|Bronze Bell Pokémon}}'s {{m|Flash Cannon}} barely did any damage to Garchomp, who knocked it out with {{m|Giga Impact}}. In the same episode, she battled against [[Paul]] when {{an|Cynthia}} accepted Paul's challenge for a [[Full Battle]]. Once again, her incredible resistance was showcased, as Cynthia allowed her to absorb {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and Weavile's {{m|Blizzard}}, before knocking out the former with {{m|Dig}} and the latter with {{m|Dragon Rush}}. She easily overpowered his {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}}, with Giga Impact easily besting {{m|Sky Attack}}, before fighting against his powerful [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. Torterra managed to inflict damage on Garchomp, immobilized from Giga Impact, with {{m|Giga Drain}}. When it tried to follow up with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, however, Garchomp pried apart the roots and knocked Torterra out with a {{m|Brick Break}} to the head. Paul forfeited after this, giving Cynthia the win.

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Garchomp was used to battle [[Team Galactic]]'s Pokémon. Her strength was once more demonstrated in the simple defeat of [[Saturn]]'s {{p|Bronzor}}. She also fought [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] with help from Ash, Dawn, and Cynthia's {{p|Gastrodon}}. However, they ultimately failed to prevent [[Team Galactic]] from obtaining the [[Lustrous Orb]].
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp flying.png|250px|thumb|Garchomp flying with Dawn's Piplup on her back]]
In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Garchomp battled {{EF|Aaron}}'s {{p|Drapion}} on [[television]]. The outcome of this particular battle isn't known, though Cynthia ended up being the winner.

She also appeared along with Cynthia in a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' battling [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Milotic}}.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Garchomp easily knocked out [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} with a single Giga Impact and restrained Jupiter herself. She then bore [[Dawn's Piplup]] into battle against Team Galactic and used {{m|Draco Meteor}} to help attack the Red Chains holding {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Garchomp briefly appeared alongside Cynthia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Garchomp was shown on TV winning a close battle between [[Flint's Infernape]] in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Infernape fought well, but was unable to withstand Dragon Rush, and was defeated.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Iris Axew vs Cynthia Garchomp.png|250px|thumb|left|Garchomp battling Iris's Axew]]
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Garchomp battled [[Iris's Axew]]. Axew's {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}} successfully hit Garchomp but seemed to do no damage. Garchomp then used her Dragon Rush and Draco Meteor attacks to cause a lot of damage to Axew. At the last second when it seemed like Axew was down, he got back up and ended up knocking Garchomp down with his newly learned Giga Impact and shocking everybody. Garchomp quickly recovered and was about to finish Axew off with a Brick Break but was called off by Cynthia at the last second.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Garchomp battled [[Caitlin]]'s {{p|Gothitelle}} in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} for the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. After being initially confused by {{m|Flatter}}, Garchomp was repeatedly slammed on the battlefield and finally lifted high into the air by Gothitelle's {{m|Psychic}}. Overcoming the confusion, Garchomp cleverly used the top of the stadium to launch herself forward to deliver a successful Dragon Rush. After Garchomp's Draco Meteor was stopped by Gothitelle's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and both their Brick Break attacks clashed, the battle's 10-minute time limit ran out, and the match was named a tie.

In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Garchomp was sent out to battle the {{an|Forces of Nature}}.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Garchompite.png|250px|thumb|left|Garchomp's Garchompite]]
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp endurance.png|220px|thumb|Garchomp's endurance]]
Garchomp appeared alongside Cynthia in ''[[JN083|Star Night, Star Flight!]]''. She used her to battle against a group of {{p|Unown}}, which created an illusionary Garchomp to combat her. Cynthia's Garchomp eventually managed to defeat the Unown, causing the illusion to disappear.

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', Garchomp was used to stop [[Alternate World Team Rocket]] from stealing her and [[Ash's Pikachu]]. However, as she fought Alternate Meowth, she forgot how to use Outrage due to the distortions throughout space and time.

In [[JNS03]], Garchomp helped stop [[Saturn]]'s rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

In [[JN117]], Cynthia used Garchomp as her third Pokémon in her [[Masters Tournament]] match against Iris, where she battled {{TP|Iris|Haxorus}}. Near the end of the match, Cynthia [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Garchomp and was able to win, despite the tough fight.

====Personality and characteristics====
Cynthia has a strong bond with Garchomp, as she is used more often than any of her other Pokémon. Similar to other Pokémon belonging to {{pkmn|Champion}}s, Garchomp can easily withstand attacks coming from other Pokémon with her immense strength and durability, which was shown during the battle with [[Paul]], where she was easily able to defeat Paul's team without a scratch.

Garchomp was also helpful when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} dealt with [[Team Galactic]] and {{TRT}} on two separate occasions, both for her strength and ability to transport Pokémon into battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Garchomp, as a {{p|Gabite}}, was seen accompanying Cynthia during her tour in the [[Johto]] region. She was with her when she witnessed {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Dialga}} and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Palkia}} flying towards Sinnoh.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====

Garchomp is Cynthia's main battling Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures. Garchomp is well trained enough that she can battle even without her Trainer giving her commands. Garchomp first appeared with her Trainer in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]'', where she held Cynthia's coat while Cynthia helped train {{adv|Platinum}}.

In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Garchomp was used to take {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and Platinum to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} so that Cynthia can heal the {{p|Psyduck}} barricade there. Later, Cynthia lent Garchomp to her Grandmother so that she, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum could make it to [[Celestic Town]] safely. Upon arriving, Garchomp gets into a fight with the leader of [[Team Galactic]], [[Cyrus]]. She attempts to prevent Cyrus from entering the Celestic Ruins, but inadvertently assists him in getting inside after her accuracy is lowered, causing her attacks to miss and make a bigger opening.

In ''[[PS409|Shunning Spiritomb]]'', Garchomp was used as Cynthia's third and final Pokémon against Cyrus at the Galactic HQ. Still angry from their previous battle, Garchomp attacks Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}} ferociously. Seeing how angry she was, Cynthia has Garchomp use her strongest move, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, despite the fact that they haven't fully mastered the move yet. The attack, while powerful, was made weaker by Garchomp's fury, preventing her from being strong enough to defeat Cyrus, and left Garchomp to pursue the escaping opponent. With Cyrus gone, Garchomp was used to take Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the [[Spear Pillar]] for the final battle against Cyrus.

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
[[File:Cynthia Gabite Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|As a Gabite]]
In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Cynthia's grandmother, angry at her granddaughter for what happened at the Galactic HQ, forces Cynthia to train and perfect Draco Meteor. In ''[[PS440|Alternate Dimension Showdown X]]'', Garchomp used her newly perfected Draco Meteor on [[Charon]] and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}}, who were escaping the [[Distortion World]] after their battle with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp DPA.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]
Cynthia's Garchomp first appeared in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]''. Garchomp was sent out to {{m|slash}} the {{m|String Shot}} coming from [[B-2]]'s three {{p|Wurmple}}.

In ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]'', Garchomp was sent out to block an attack coming from [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Crobat}}.

In ''[[DPA23|A New Battle Begins!]]'', Garchomp was used to battle [[Mitsumi]]'s {{p|Infernape}}. Both sides charged at each other with {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Overheat}}, respectively. They were both recalled for {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Electivire}}. Garchomp and Infernape were sent out again later on. Infernape attacked with {{m|Focus Blast}} in which Garchomp dodged. The Focus Blast headed straight for [[Hareta]] and [[Koya]], in which Koya protected himself with {{p|Metagross}}. Garchomp won the battle by default when Mitsumi decided to resign seeing that it was more fun for her to watch the tournament instead of fighting in it.

:The '''Official Cynthia Long Card Box''' (Japanese: '''オフィシャルロングカードボックスシロナ''' ''Official Long Card Box: Shirona'') features a new [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of [[Cynthia]] sending forth her {{p|Garchomp}}.

'''Sleeves:''' Each pack contains a quantity of card sleeves.

====Gym Challenge Half Playmats====
Packs of sleeves released previously could be purchased again from August 3, 2012 at a number of retailers. These packs contained 62 sleeves, unlike some of their initial releases. Sleeves featuring [[Cynthia]] included special flyers in their packaging that could be exchanged at stores hosting Gym Challenge meetings for 1 of 4 special half playmats when bringing a friend and participating in a battle. The campaign period was open from August 3 until September 17, 2012 and playmats were available on a first come, first served basis. Only 1 flyer could be exchanged per day per person.

==Trivia==
* At level 88, Garchomp is tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} for being the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon outside of a [[battle facility]].
* According to promotional anime material, Cynthia has owned Garchomp, as a {{p|Gible}}, since she was a 10 year old.

Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon and the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Ground-type Pokémon.
* Wooper is the only Ground-type Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper seems to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Its {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants, or an {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs.

Paldean Wooper appears to be inspired by the highly poisonous skin that many species of salamanders are known for. Its gills are in the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. It may also be inspired by ''{{wp|Mudskipper|mudskippers}}''.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah are derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Paldea]], Wooper has a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Ground}} [[regional form]].

==Biology==
Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon and the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Ground-type Pokémon.
* Wooper is the only Ground-type Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper seems to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Its {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants, or an {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs.

Paldean Wooper appears to be inspired by the highly poisonous skin that many species of salamanders are known for. Its gills are in the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. It may also be inspired by ''{{w|Mudskipper|mudskippers}}''.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah are derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Cetitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハルクジラ''' ''Harukujira'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

==Biology==
Cetitan is a large cetacean Pokémon. It has a white piscine body with large forelimbs and legs, and pink accents around its eyes, forepaws and tail. The tail has two pairs of fins protruding from either side. It also has a gray underside with circular white accents, as well as gray accents on its armpits, and two large gray claws on each foot. Cetitan has five horns: two on the top of its head, and three around its mouth. The singular horn on its upper jaw allows it to gather ice energy and freeze its surroundings.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/cetitan/ Cetitan — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Cetitan has tough muscles, which allow it to support its weight and attack with immense physical power. It also has a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, which helps it migrate around snowy areas.<ref name=SVsite />


==Trivia==
===Origin===
Cetitan appears to be based on multiple different cetaceans native to the {{wp|Arctic}}. Its general appearance and shape seems to be based on the {{wp|bowhead whale}} (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the {{wp|beluga}}, and its horns may draw inspiration from the {{wp|narwhal}}.

It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{wp|Ningen (folklore)|ningen}}'', bipedal, whale-like cryptids of modern Japanese folklore.

====Name origin====
Cetitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Cetacea|cetacean}}'' and ''titan''.

Harukujira may be a combination of ''hulk'' and 鯨 ''kujira'' (whale).

'''Fidough''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パピモッチ''' ''Papimocchi'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

==Biology==
Fidough is a small canine Pokémon. It has small, black beady eyes and stubby legs. Its ears are rounded and resemble {{wp|bagel}}s. It has smooth, moist skin that is off-white in coloration, with yellow accents on the top of its head, its eyebrows, the insides of its ears, around its neck, and on its tail. Fidough's skin has elastic qualities; when startled, they will puff themselves up to appear larger, in an attempt to intimidate their opponents.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/fidough/ Fidough — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Fidough's breath contains yeast and is used to ferment things. Fidough has long been considered a companion for humanity, because its yeast is useful for cooking.<ref name=SVsite />


==Trivia==
* Fidough shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Rockruff}}, and {{p|Yamper}}. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Fidough resembles a {{wp|puppy}} made from dessert dough. The desert is likely based on ''{{wp|Ensaïmada|Ensaïmada}}'', a type of Spanish pastry shaped like a spiral.

====Name origin====
Fidough may be a combination of ''Fido'' (a stereotypical name for a pet dog), ''{{wp|filo}}'', and ''dough''.

Papimocchi may be a combination of ''puppy'' and 餅 ''{{wp|mochi}}'', a popular Japanese rice cake snack.
