Lightning Rod (Ability)

2008-08-06T13:40:16Z

Shiny Lanturn:

'''Lightningrod''' (Japanese: '''ひらいしん''' ''Lightning Rod'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]] that ''forces all {{type2|Electric}} attacks in a [[Double Battle]] to strike the [[Pokémon]] with this abilty''. This is useful because five of the [[Pokémon]] with this ability are not affected by Electric-type attacks, and the other two only take half the damage from them. Seven Pokémon have this ability.
In a [[Pokémon Battle|Single Battle]], this ability has no noticeable function, aside from electric attacks always hitting the Lightning Rod user. (even although the move usually has no effect it still 'hits')

Storm Drain (Ability)

2008-08-06T13:38:17Z

Shiny Lanturn:

'''Storm Drain''' (Japanese: '''よびみず''' ''Pump Preparation'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] that ''draws all {{t|Water}} attacks to the Pokémon.'' Four [[Pokémon]] have this ability, all of them [[Water-type]]. In a [[double battle]], a Pokémon with this ability will force all water attacks to exclusively strike it; this ability is rendered ineffective in a [[Pokémon battle#1v1_Battles|single battle]]. Unlike {{a|Lightningrod}}, since no types are immune to Water, the four Pokémon with this ability take half or full damage from Water attacks, rendering it less useful in general than a Ground-type with Lightningrod. Water attacks also all have 100% accuracy whether aimed at a Strom Drain user or not.

'''Flavor Text:'''
The Pokémon draws in all Water-type moves.

===Origin===
Hippowdon is based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Hippowdon's name is derived from ''hippopotamus'', ''power'' or ''powder'' (as in sand), and the suffix ''-don'' which can be taken to mean "tooth" or "lord".
Kabarudon's name is derived from the Japanese word 河馬 ''kaba'', hippopotamus, which it is based on, and the aforementioned ''-don''.

:::Nopes. It will remain with its ability. For example if you have a Rhydon with Lighningrod and it evolves, the Rhyperior will continue having Lightningrod as ability.

Gym Leader

2008-07-01T09:00:39Z

Shiny Lanturn: /* Trivia */

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest ranking member of a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]]. If a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brains]] are not considered Gym Leaders and are thus not included in this list.

==Trivia==
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{type2|Rock}}, {{type2|Ghost}}, and {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Each in-game region except [[Johto]] begins with a Gym Leader that specializes in {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon (Johto begins with a {{type2|Flying}} Gym, ironically easy to defeat with a Rock-type). Yet, all the Gyms that appear first are located in a city.
* Johto is the only region that did not repeat types from gyms released in previous generations. This is likely due to the fact that there had been only eight gyms before, while there were 17 different types.
* Even though there are 32 known gyms in the games, there has not yet been a gym specializing in {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon. Only {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, and {{type2|Dragon}} gyms are not located in multiple regions. Each of the twelve other types has been repeated at least once, and {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Fighting}} gyms appear in three of the four regions.
*If the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Kanto]] is counted, there has been a {{type2|Fighting}} gym in each region at some point in time.
*There have been more male Gym Leaders than female ones in every region except for [[Sinnoh]], where there are four of each. Kanto also has four of each in Generation II.
**As far as type distribution goes, there have been Gym Leaders of both genders for Rock-, Water-, Poison-, Psychic-, Fire-, Flying-, Normal-, Ghost-, Fighting-, Steel-, and Ice-type gyms, only male Gym Leaders for Electric-, Ground-, and Bug-type gyms, and only female Gym Leaders for Grass- and Dragon-type gyms. To be fair, of those that have only been led by a specific gender, only Grass-type and Electric-type gyms have appeared in more than one region.
*Even though they were called Leaders in [[Generation I]], this title did not appear in battle until [[Generation II]].
*The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]],[[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate, and Liza]]. They all train either {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*In the anime, gym leaders seem to be forbidden from switching their Pokémon. Gym leaders before [[Blaine]] did switch, however after Ash's match against Blaine, gym leaders never again switched their Pokémon.
*For [[DP009]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi''

----

Will Jynx and Magmar have evolutionary forms as well?
--[[User:Kanga|Kanga]] 22:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it pretty safe to say that his name is Elekiburu, or something of that nature, seeing as every single time the Hepburn translation translates L they get R? Also, why on earth would an electric-type with the first two members starting with 'ele' not also start with 'ele'?
--[[User:123456789|123456789]]
PS: It would be awesome if he learned 'discharge' or whatever that squirrel thing knows that hurts both pokemon; enemy would take damage, and electric engine ups speed.

This might be interesting: Electivire has a plug socket on it's back. Elekid has plug prongs on it's head. Trivia? --{{u|Stinkoman}}

Shiny Lanturn: /* Critical hit */

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

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

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

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

==Critical hit==
A move will sometimes get a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon, some moves more than others. This will double the damage done after super effective/not very effective calculations occur, leading to the ability for a doubly-super effective move that gets a critical hit to do a whopping eight times as much damage as it would.

Critical hits work through levels, which determine the chance for a critical hit:

{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Level
! Percentage
! Moves
|-
|1
|6,25%
|Normal Moves
|-
|2
|12,5%
|Moves with an increased Critical hit rate: Slash, Stone Edge etc.
|-
|3
|25%
|Farfetch'd Moves with the Stick attached
|-
|4
|33,3%
|Critical hit moves used in combination with super luck
|-
|5
|50%
|Critical hit moves used in combination with super luck and a Razor claw/Scope lens attached

|}

Scope lens and Razor Claw add 1 level each, the stick adds 2 levels (farfetch'd only), focus energy adds a level, super luck doubles the amount of levels and goes before the items are calculated in. 50% is the cap, no situation reaches above it.

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

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

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

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

*{{a|Blaze}}, {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Torrent}} and {{a|Swarm}} increase the power of {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves by 50% when the user's HP falls below 33%, respectively.
*{{a|Thick Fat}} decreases the power of the opponents' Fire-type and Ice-type moves by 50%. {{a|Heatproof}} decreases the power of opponents' Fire-type moves by 50%.
*{{a|Levitate}} provides immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves, and {{a|Soundproof}} provides immunity to sound-based moves.
*{{a|Volt Absorb}} and {{a|Water Absorb}} grant immunity to {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Water}} moves respectively, healing the user's HP by 25% instead. {{a|Dry Skin}} is similar to Water Absorb, but also doubles the power of opponents' Fire-type moves.
*{{a|Flash Fire}} negates the effect of opponents' Fire-type moves and instead increases the power of the ability's user's own Fire-type attacks. Similarly, {{a|Motor Drive}} negates the effect of opponents' Electric-type moves and instead causes the ability's user's Speed to increase. These abilities include [[status move]]s like {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
*{{a|Mold Breaker}} removes all immunities to the user's moves.
*{{a|Scrappy}} removes {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon's immunity to the {{type2|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} moves of the user.
*{{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Sand Stream}} and {{a|Snow Warning}} all cause different weather conditions.
*{{a|Adaptability}} doubles the power of moves of the same type as the user.
*{{a|Hustle}} boosts the power of the user's moves by 50%.
*{{a|Pure Power}} doubles the power of the user's [[Physical move|physical]] attacks.
*{{a|Technician}} increases the power of the user's moves with base power 60 or less by 50%.
*{{a|Super Luck}} increases the user's critical hit ratio.
*{{a|Battle Armor}} and {{a|Shell Armor}} block critical hits.
*{{a|Sniper}} increases the power of the user's critical hits.
*{{a|Tinted Lens}} doubles the power of the user's moves that are not very effective.
*{{a|Solid Rock}} and {{a|Filter}} each reduce the power of super effective moves on the ability's user by one third.
*{{a|Wonder Guard}} reduces the power of the opponent's attacks that are not super effective to zero.

*{{a|Thick Fat}} decreases the power of the opponents' Fire-type and Ice-type moves by 50%. {{a|Heatproof}} decreases the power of opponents' Fire-type moves by 50%.
*{{a|Levitate}} provides immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves, and {{a|Soundproof}} provides immunity to sound-based moves.
*{{a|Volt Absorb}} and {{a|Water Absorb}} grant immunity to {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Water}} moves respectively, healing the user's HP by 25% instead. {{a|Dry Skin}} is similar to Water Absorb, but also doubles the power of opponents' Fire-type moves.
*{{a|Flash Fire}} negates the effect of opponents' Fire-type moves and instead increases the power of the ability's user's own Fire-type attacks. Similarly, {{a|Motor Drive}} negates the effect of opponents' Electric-type moves and instead causes the ability's user's Speed to increase. These abilities include [[status move]]s like {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
*{{a|Mold Breaker}} removes all immunities to the user's moves.
*{{a|Scrappy}} removes {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon's immunity to the {{type2|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} moves of the user.
*{{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Sand Stream}} and {{a|Snow Warning}} all cause different weather conditions.
*{{a|Adaptability}} doubles the power of moves of the same type as the user.
*{{a|Hustle}} boosts the power of the user's moves by 50%.
*{{a|Pure Power}} doubles the power of the user's [[Physical move|physical]] attacks.
*{{a|Technician}} increases the power of the user's moves with base power 60 or less by 50%.
*{{a|Super Luck}} increases the user's critical hit ratio.
*{{a|Battle Armor}} and {{a|Shell Armor}} block critical hits.
*{{a|Sniper}} increases the power of the user's critical hits.
*{{a|Tinted Lens}} doubles the power of the user's moves that are not very effective.
*{{a|Solid Rock}} and {{a|Filter}} each reduce the power of super effective moves on the ability's user by one third.
*{{a|Wonder Guard}} reduces the power of the opponent's attacks that are not super effective to zero.

==Sandstorm damage question==
In the trivia section for Beldum it says:
:::"However, in Generation IV, Beldum can be found as a swarm on Route 228, making Beldum incredibly difficult to capture due to both its self-damaging move and the ever-present sandstorm."

However Steel types are not normally effected by Sandstorm, which does not hit Steel, Ground or Rock type pokemon. In my version of Pearl I have observed Beldum quite happily getting about in a Sandstorm without taking any damage from it.

Does the Sandstorm have some other effect on catch rates that I don't know about? If not, can someone confirm or deny the damage aspect so we can change the trivia? [[User:Castorquinn|Castorquinn]] 14:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Battle Frontier Map.png|thumb|right|256px|Ingame Battle Frontier Map]]
The '''Battle Frontier''' is a whole new area introduced in [[Pokémon Emerald]] which features several areas where players can battle their Pokémon.

In the anime, the Battle Frontier is set in [[Kanto]], rather than [[Hoenn]], with the individual parts scattered all over the region. After the Hoenn league, [[Ash Ketchum]] meets [[Scott]] in [[Viridian City]], who invites Ash to visit, after seeing his skill against [[Agatha]]. The rules in each of the facilities also seem to be different than those in the game - for one, Ash challenges the head of the facility immediately, without having to win a series of battles first.

<div style="text-align: center;">

== Battle Arena ==
[[Image:Battle Arena.PNG|right|thumb|The '''Battle Arena''']]
Battling in the '''Battle Arena''' (Japanese: '''バトルアリーナ''') pits two Pokémon against one another for three rounds. If both Pokémon last all three rounds, they are rated on how they battled, and the Pokémon with the higher score wins. The losing Pokémon leaves battle. If both Pokémon have the same score, they both lose. If either Pokémon is knocked out before three rounds are over, that Pokémon loses and there is no scoring for that battle.

Pokémon are scored on their mind, skill, and body. Mind judges Pokémon on the amount and type of offensive moves they use. Skill judges Pokémon on the overall accuracy of their moves. This category is not influenced by the ineffectiveness of moves caused by the use of {{M|Detect}} or {{M|Protect}}. Body judges the amount of HP the Pokémon has left at the end of the battle. This is affected by the amount of HP the Pokémon had at the start of the battle.

After 27 and 55 consecutive wins, '''[[Arena Tycoon Greta]]''' appears to challenge. Defeating her awards the Guts Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Arena is located near [[Saffron City]]. Before the match began, there is a special machine that used to determine if its a 1-on-1 battle, 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 battle.

== Battle Dome ==
[[Image:Battle Dome.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Dome''']]
The '''Battle Dome''' (Japanese: '''バトルドーム''') is a tournament which consists of 16 trainers.

Before each battle, the player can look at the opponent that he or she is facing, and find out information such as the Pokémon they are using, their battle style, and the type of EV training they do. Also, competitors can look up the info on who is eliminated in each round, as well as the standings in each stage of the competition.

After winning 5 and 10 championships consecutively, '''[[Dome Ace Tucker]]''' will appear to battle. Defeating him earns the Tactics Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Dome is located near [[Lavender Town]].

== Battle Factory ==
[[Image:Battle Factory.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Factory''']]
The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''') is a place for researchers to examine trainers using random Pokémon in battle. Before entering a battle, the guide researcher will tell information about the opponent's team, and allow the player to trade one of their Pokémon for one from the trainer previously defeated.

After 21 and 42 consecutive wins (respectively three and six times through the Battle Factory), '''[[Factory Head Noland]]''' appears to battle. Defeating him awards the Knowledge Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Factory is located near [[Cerulean City]]. Instead of random Pokémon, Noland just has a lot, and the challenger may choose the Pokémon they will face in battle.

== Battle Palace ==
[[Image:Battle Palace.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Palace''']]
Pokémon battle on their own within the '''Battle Palace''' (Japanese: '''バトルパレス'''). A Pokémon's style of attack depends on its nature. When a Pokémon's HP meter falls low, it may be in the Pokémon's nature to change its style of attack.

'''[[Palace Maven Spenser]]''' appears after 21 and 42 consecutive wins (three and six trips through the palace, respectively), and defeating him earns the Spirits Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Palace is located near the [[Seafoam Islands]].

== Battle Pyramid ==
[[Image:Battle Pyramid.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Pyramid''']]
The '''Battle Pyramid''' (Japanese: '''バトルピラミッド''') is a 7-layer pyramid. Each room is shrouded in darkness and only by defeating opponents will it light up. A trainer cannot take any items into the pyramid. Any items found within the pyramid may only be used while in the pyramid.

The kind of wild Pokémon encountered depends on many times one has travelled through the pyramid, and include 20 sets of Pokémon, with increasing difficulty from one set to the next. The kinds of tactics the wild Pokémon will use progress as:
* Paralyzing Moves
* Poisoning Moves
* Burning Moves
* PP Wasting Moves
* {{A|Levitate}} Ability Pokémon
* Non-Escape Ability Pokémon ({{A|Shadow Tag}} and {{A|Arena Trap}})
* Freezing Moves
* {{M|Explosion}} and {{M|Selfdestruct}} Moves
* {{T|Psychic}} Moves
* {{T|Rock}} Pokémon
* Fighting Pokémon
[[Image:Battle Pramid flying.PNG|right|250px|thumb|The Battle Pyramid flying in the anime]]
* Weather-Altering Moves
* {{T|Bug}} Pokémon
* {{T|Dark}} Pokémon
* {{T|Water}} Pokémon
* {{T|Ghost}} Pokémon
* {{T|Steel}} Pokémon
* Dragon-like Pokémon
* {{T|Fire}}, {{T|Water}}, {{T|Electric}}, and {{T|Ice}} Moves
* {{T|Normal}} Pokémon

Trainers who pass 21 consecutive floors (three passes through the pyramid) and 70 floors (ten passes through the pyramid) are challenged by '''[[Pyramid King Brandon]]'''. Defeating him in battle awards the Brave Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Pyramid was located near [[Pewter City]]. However, the Pyramid has helicopter like turbines installed into it, and thus, has the ability to move about Kanto. In the anime, this building can only be challenged after the other six facilities have been conquered. When the sixth Brain is defeated, he or she will tell the challenge of the current location of the Battle Pyramid.

== Battle Pike ==
[[Image:Battle Pike.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Pike''']]
The '''Battle Pike''', or Battle Tube ('''バトルチューブ''') in the Japanese version, is a long pike in the design of a Seviper. Inside are 21 rooms, each with its own event. To complete the Battle Pike, one must choose from seven sets of three rooms. Depending on the room, one of eight events will happen:
* Single Battle: 3 Pokémon per side.
* Double Battle: 2 Pokémon per side.
* Single Battle and Healing: 3 Pokémon per side; winner's Pokémon are completely healed.
* Wild Pokémon: Wild Milotic, Dusclops, and Seviper appear.
* No Event: Nothing happens.
* Status Change: A surprise attack will inflict a status on one or more of a player's Pokémon. The status includes Kirlia's Burn, Paralyze, Poison, or Sleep and Dusclops's Burn or Freeze.
* One or Two Recovery: One or two of the player's Pokémon will be healed.
* Full Recovery: All of the player's Pokémon will be healed.

The lady standing outside of the rooms will hint at what is in one of the three rooms:

"For some reason, I feel a wave of nostalgia coming from it..." There may be an old man who will heal your Pokémon, "nostalgic" because he misses his youth, a Pokémon that will affect party Pokémon with a status condition, or wild Pokémon missing their homes.

The [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Pike is '''[[Pike Queen Lucy]]'''. She challenges trainers who complete 27 rooms (two passes through the pike) and 139 rooms (10 passes). Beat her to obtain the Luck Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Pike is located near [[Fuchsia City]].

== Battle Tower ==
[[Image:Battle Tower Emerald.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Tower''']]
In the '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー'''), trainer after random trainer is battled, progressively becoming more difficult.

After 35 wins (five trips through the tower) and 70 wins (ten trips through the tower), '''[[Salon Maiden Anabel]]''' appears. Defeat her to win the Ability Symbol.

The Battle Tower also retains the multiplayer functions it had as a lone facility in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. For these, please see [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]].

In the anime, the Battle Tower is located near [[Tohjo Falls]].

= Other Points of Interest =

== Artisan Cave ==
The Artisan Cave is a long cave connecting one end of the Battle Frontier to the other. It starts near the Battle Palace and the exit is right next to the Battle Tower.

The cave is two levels high, contains several stat-boosting items, and the only wild Pokémon found inside is {{p|Smeargle}}.

== House ==
There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a trainer who wants to trade a {{p|Meowth}} for a {{p|Skitty}}.

== Record Hall ==
The record hall contains all of the records that the player has set at the Battle Frontier. There are three rooms. The one on the left contains records for the Battle Pike, Dome, and Factory, the one in the center has records for the Battle Tower, and the one on the right contains records for the Battle Palace, Pyramid, and Arena.

If the player mixes records with another Emerald game, Battle Frontier records will be copied over from the other game and compared.

==Sudowoodo==
A level 40 {{p|Sudowoodo}} is located in the southeast section of the Battle Frontier. Much like in [[Generation II]], NPCs will talk about it as a tree. However, when the player uses the [[Wailmer Pail]] on it, it will spring to life. This is the only location of Sudowoodo in the handheld games of [[Generation III]].

== Move Tutors ==
In a house next to the Battle Dome, there are two move tutors. They will teach a Pokémon a selection of attacks for a price in Battle Points.

== Betting Man ==

In the house south of the Battle Pyramid a man can be visited. After receiving at least 3 silver symbols, he will ask the player to compete in a random facility. The player can give him 5,10 or 15 battle points. If the player wins the man will give him back twice the amount the player gave him. If the player loses the battle points are lost.

[[Image:Battle Frontier Map.png|thumb|right|256px|Ingame Battle Frontier Map]]
The '''Battle Frontier''' is a whole new area introduced in [[Pokémon Emerald]] which features several areas where players can battle their Pokémon.

In the anime, the Battle Frontier is set in [[Kanto]], rather than [[Hoenn]], with the individual parts scattered all over the region. After the Hoenn league, [[Ash Ketchum]] meets [[Scott]] in [[Viridian City]], who invites Ash to visit, after seeing his skill against [[Agatha]]. The rules in each of the facilities also seem to be different than those in the game - for one, Ash challenges the head of the facility immediately, without having to win a series of battles first.

== Detailed Map ==

<div style="text-align: center;">
[[Image:Battle Frontier Map Sugimori.jpg|550px]]
</div>

== Battle Arena ==
[[Image:Battle Arena.PNG|right|thumb|The '''Battle Arena''']]
Battling in the '''Battle Arena''' (Japanese: '''バトルアリーナ''') pits two Pokémon against one another for three rounds. If both Pokémon last all three rounds, they are rated on how they battled, and the Pokémon with the higher score wins. The losing Pokémon leaves battle. If both Pokémon have the same score, they both lose. If either Pokémon is knocked out before three rounds are over, that Pokémon loses and there is no scoring for that battle.

Pokémon are scored on their mind, skill, and body. Mind judges Pokémon on the amount and type of offensive moves they use. Skill judges Pokémon on the overall accuracy of their moves. This category is not influenced by the ineffectiveness of moves caused by the use of {{M|Detect}} or {{M|Protect}}. Body judges the amount of HP the Pokémon has left at the end of the battle. This is affected by the amount of HP the Pokémon had at the start of the battle.

After 27 and 55 consecutive wins, '''[[Arena Tycoon Greta]]''' appears to challenge. Defeating her awards the Guts Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Arena is located near [[Saffron City]]. Before the match began, there is a special machine that used to determine if its a 1-on-1 battle, 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 battle.

== Battle Dome ==
[[Image:Battle Dome.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Dome''']]
The '''Battle Dome''' (Japanese: '''バトルドーム''') is a tournament which consists of 16 trainers.

Before each battle, the player can look at the opponent that he or she is facing, and find out information such as the Pokémon they are using, their battle style, and the type of EV training they do. Also, competitors can look up the info on who is eliminated in each round, as well as the standings in each stage of the competition.

After winning 5 and 10 championships consecutively, '''[[Dome Ace Tucker]]''' will appear to battle. Defeating him earns the Tactics Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Dome is located near [[Lavender Town]].

== Battle Factory ==
[[Image:Battle Factory.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Factory''']]
The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''') is a place for researchers to examine trainers using random Pokémon in battle. Before entering a battle, the guide researcher will tell information about the opponent's team, and allow the player to trade one of their Pokémon for one from the trainer previously defeated.

After 21 and 42 consecutive wins (respectively three and six times through the Battle Factory), '''[[Factory Head Noland]]''' appears to battle. Defeating him awards the Knowledge Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Factory is located near [[Cerulean City]]. Instead of random Pokémon, Noland just has a lot, and the challenger may choose the Pokémon they will face in battle.

== Battle Palace ==
[[Image:Battle Palace.PNG|thumb|The '''Battle Palace''']]
Pokémon battle on their own within the '''Battle Palace''' (Japanese: '''バトルパレス'''). A Pokémon's style of attack depends on its nature. When a Pokémon's HP meter falls low, it may be in the Pokémon's nature to change its style of attack.

'''[[Palace Maven Spenser]]''' appears after 21 and 42 consecutive wins (three and six trips through the palace, respectively), and defeating him earns the Spirits Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Palace is located near the [[Seafoam Islands]].

'''Round One - Begin!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグかいまく！みずのフィールド！''' ''Pokémon League Opens! Water Battlefield!'') is episode 75 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 17, 1998 and in the United States on October 30, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
[[Ash]] is preparing to battle in the [[Indigo League]]. He learns that he must first pass through 4 preliminary battles on four unique battlefields (Grass, Water, Ice and Rock) to qualify for battling inside Indigo Stadium. He meets with [[Nurse Joy]] at the local convention Center, and finds that he is assigned to battle on the Water field later that day against a trainer named [[Mandi]], who refers to himself as "Mandi the Astounding."

Since he is assigned to the Water field, Ash plans to rely on [[Ash's Squirtle|Squirtle]] for the battle. When [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] suggest that Squirtle might not be enough, Ash decides to claim [[Ash's Kingler|Krabby]] from [[Professor Oak]]'s lab to boost his team. Misty is worried because Ash has never used Krabby before, but Ash is confident.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is posing as a news crew to try and find rare Pokémon to steal. They are not having much luck.

Ash's battle on the Water field is about to begin! Misty and Brock take special seats behind Ash's podium on the battlefield to act as his "coaches" during the fights. Ash sends out Krabby right away, and Mandi uses {{p|Exeggutor}}. Krabby jumps into the pool but Exeggutor uses its {{m|Psychic}} ability to create a whirlpool, revealing Krabby's hiding space. Mandi then orders an Egg Bomb, knocking Krabby into the whirlpool and preventing it from using any attacks. Ash tries to recall Krabby, but the whirlpool prevents him from doing so. Suddenly, Krabby escapes from the vortex! Ash orders Krabby to use {{m|Vicegrip}} on Exeggutor's leaves, stopping its attacks. One {{m|Stomp}} later and Krabby is the winner!

Krabby stands triumphant over Exeggutor and.... evolves! Ash excitedly checks [[Pokédex|Dexter]] for information on his new [[Ash's Kingler|Kingler]]. Mandi, still confident, sends out a {{p|Seadra}}. Seadra uses Agility to dodge Kingler's Water Gun, but Kingler manages to slow it down with a Bubble attack and then knocks Seadra out of the fight with {{m|Crabhammer}}.

Mandi, undaunted, sends out his last Pokémon- {{p|Golbat}}! [[Brock]] worries that this could be bad for Ash; Kingler is weak against air attacks. Golbat manages to evade Kingler's attacks, dealing a great amount of damage in the process. But Ash remains firm and orders Kingler to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Kingler's shot hits Golbat dead-on, knocking it out!!

Ash has won his first Indigo League victory!

When he holds up the Poké Ball containing Venomoth, the next scene shows him staring at Team Rocket's camera, with his mouth not moving when he says "And a Venomoth!" in the dub. In the Japanese version he only showed off one Pokémon and a Venomoth.
* When Mandy's Golbat used {{m|Double Team}}, it looked more like {{m|Teleport}}.
* Brock mentions Golbat's flying attacks are good against Kingler (a water pokémon). In the games they aren't more effective then regular attacks.

'''Jynx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルージュラ''' ''Rougela'') is an {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jynx is a humanoid Pokémon that resembles a bulky woman. Jynx wears a red gown, has white arms and purple hands. Jynx has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes and long blond hair. It seems to resemble a Nordic princess, as seen in various operas. Originally, its face was colored black, causing many to think of it as racist.
====Gender differences====
Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Jynx can use telepathy to transfer visions of what they've seen into a another being's mind. In battle, Jynx have the power to control ice and snow and can also use (not that greatly) physical combat.

Jynx is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Lovely Kiss}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Jynx tend to prefer icy climates, such as caves in snowy mountains. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]], various Jynx are seen in [[Santa Claus|Santa]]'s toy factory.

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

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jynx anime.jpg|right|thumb|Jynx in the anime]]
Jynx first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. One of [[Santa Claus]]'s Jynx was separated from him. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|co.]] helped to return the Jynx to her owner.

Jynx was also in a Pokémon stage show for ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] owns a Jynx. She used it to send [[Team Rocket]] flying in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

A [[Nurse Joy]] from the unaired episode, ''[[EP250|The Ice Cave!]]'', owned a Jynx. [[Brock]] almost kissed this Human-Shaped Pokémon during his sickly state.

A Jynx was also used by a girl named [[Erica]] in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''.

A trio of Jynx sisters were in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''. These three Jynx were overly-protective towards a Smoochum that was their sister. The Smoochum evolved into a Jynx at the end of the episode.

==In the manga==
Jynx's most notable role is being under the ownership of [[Lorelei]] in [[Pokémon Special]]. Lorelei's Jynx is noted for having the ability to generate voodoo dolls out of ice using its {{m|Ice Beam}}. When Lorelei draws crosses on any part of the dolls using her lipstick, ice shackles form on the specified body parts of her targets, eventually freezing the victim over completely. Even after the victims are broken free, the freeze induces lasting numbness in the areas where it was applied. Both {{Special|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] suffered this condition and had to seek a cure atop [[Mt. Silver]] by bathing in the hotsprings there.

Another ability of Lorelei's Jynx is revealed in the [[Sevii Islands]] saga: it can create a wispy band of ice around targets, with which Lorelei can use to track down using her powder case.

==Trivia==
* Before Generation IV, Jynx was the only Ice-type Pokémon that was able to learn {{m|Ice Punch}} by leveling up.
* Jynx is one of the few Pokémon who naturally learn a [[move]] in a game in one generation, but then never learn it in again in another generation, in this case the move is {{m|Thrash}}.
*For a time it was believed that the black representing Jynx's face in the original [[Generation I]] version was actually a nothingness, a lack of form instead of Jynx's actual body (kind of like {{P|Gastly}} and {{P|Cloyster}} in its main body being composed of only a rather featureless black orb with various decoration on it, in this case, a dress, wig, and possibly gloves held up by Jynx's psychic power). This is more apparent in the original [[Pokémon Stadium]] when after being defeated, Jynx's body would suddenly disappear leaving only a empty dress and blond wig to fall to the floor in a pile.
* Unlike it's [[Generation I]] counterparts ([[Magmortar]] and [[Electivire]]), Jynx doesn't get a evolution in [[Generation IV]]. This is probably due to the many controversies regarding Jynx

===Controversy===
[[Image:Controversial Jynx.jpg|thumb|right|The original design of Jynx, that is considered to be a racist stereotype of African-Americans.]]
The original design of the Pokémon Jynx bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in [[wp:blackface|blackface]]. A strong case can be made for Jynx being a parody of or homage to the Japanese [[wp:Ganguro|Ganguro]] and Yamanba fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released, but it can't be denied that blackface-influenced characters have appeared elsewhere in anime and manga - examples can be found near the beginning of Osamu Tezuka's early graphic novel, [[wp:Metropolis (manga)|Metropolis]] and also can be found with Dragon Ball Z's Mr. Popo.

As Pokémon became more popular in the US, this perceived similarity to a racist image from America's past offended some. In particular, it had offended children's book author Carole Boston Weatherford, who accused Jynx of being a racist stereotype in an article titled Politically Incorrect Pokémon in the magazine Black World Today, shortly after the anime episode [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]] aired. Episodes later on are also either banned or cut in USA.

In response to this controversy, in 2002, [[Nintendo]] changed Jynx's face from black to purple and its hands from blue to purple in Pokémon games, a change which would be reflected in the anime three years later in Advanced Generation.

===Origin===
What Jynx is based on is a controversial topic within the fandom, although common interpretations are a Nordic woman (possibly [[wp:Hel (goddess)|Hel]], goddess of the underworld), or ガン黒 ''[[wp:Ganguro|ganguro]]'', ''face-black''. Also, the fact that Jynx are depicted as Santa's helpers in the anime can be a proof that Jynx is based on [[wp:Zwarte Piet|Zwarte Piet]].

Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese spirits known as [[wp:Yuki Onna|Yuki Onna]] (who has no feet like Jynx) or [[wp:Yama Uba|Yama Uba]], the latter of which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono and having whitish-blonde hair (all traits shared by Jynx).
====Name origin====
A ''[[wp:Jinx|jinx]]'' is a curse or hex of bad luck. ''Rougela'' appears to be a feminized version of ''[[wp:Rouge|rouge]]'', a type of makeup.

'''Pearl''' (Japanese: '''パール''') is the [[rival]] character in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].

The character {{Special|Pearl}} from the [[Pokémon Special|Pokémon Special]] manga is based on this Pearl.

A version of the character also appears in the [[Pokémon DP (Shigekatsu Ihara)|Pokémon DP]] manga.

This particular rival also appears on the {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Rival|113}} card in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansions of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Pearl is always in a hurry, and because of this, often crashes into other people or misses important details. He is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] [[Commander]], [[Jupiter]]. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Pearl ''does'' have a soft side however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Pearl is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{P|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh]] [[League Champion]], the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, ready to battle. Unlike the player and [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn (game)|Dawn]], Pearl did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

This listing is for Pearl's [[Pokémon]] in the video games in which he has appeared.

If player doesn't give the name for Rival, in the Japanese [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]] the name パール ''Pearl'' is automatically given. In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]] at the same situation, the name ダイヤ ''Dia'' is automatically given. In English version, the same thing happens. However, in the English version of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]], the automatically-given name is ''Diamond'', not Dia. This is because while the English games have higher character count limits for name fields, the player's and rival's names in the Japanese game can only be five characters long. '''ダイヤ''' ''Dia'' is three characters long, while the full name '''ダイヤモンド''' ''Diamond'' exceeds the count at six characters.

==Trivia==
* Pearl has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]] which serves as the default high score.
*Although Pearl can only be battled on weekends, if the player saves the game in front of him on a Sunday, he can still be battled on weekdays if the player does not leave the Fight Area (even to go to the [[Pokémon Center]]) during the periods of time in between.
* Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]] is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]] for [[Blue (game)|Blue]]. "[[Gary]]" is also one of the optional names for him in the German and Italian-language versions of Pokémon Diamond. Gary's Korean Name, 바람 ''Baram'' can also be found among optional names for him in Korean-language version. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being [[Palmer|the leader]] of [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)|Sinnoh's Battle Tower]] in Pearl's case, and being [[Professor Oak|a]] [[Pokémon professor]] in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the [[playable character|playable characters]] who go on to compete against them in collecting [[Gym]] badges, unlike [[Silver (game)|Silver]] and [[Wally]]. Finally, Pearl uses the {{p|Starly|Starly}} line, while Blue uses the {{p|Pidgey|Pidgey}} line; they both use {{p|Heracross|Heracross}} at some point in their respective games.
* All Japanese default names for Pearl come from game staff members' first names. They are all listed in the game's credits. Jun is from '''[[Jun'ichi Masuda]]''', production director and music composer. Shigeru is from '''Shigeru Ōmori''', game design leader. Kōji comes from '''Kōji Nishino''', a game designer. Toshinobu is from '''Toshinobu Matsumiya''', game scenario author. Hisashi is from '''Hisashi Sogabe''', battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from '''Sōsuke Tamada''', field system programmer. Akito is from '''Akito Mori''', communication system programmer and Nozomu is from '''Nozomu Saito''', also one of programmers.
*Pearl has a [[Pokétch]], however, it is orange, while the player can only have a blue one (if playing as [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]]) or a pink one (if playing as [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]]).
*Pearl has the highest level pokémon that can be fought in Diamond/Pearl, namely his level 74 [[Infernape]]/[[Torterra]]/[[Empoleon]] after defeating the elie four 20 times

==Trivia==
*Mime Jr.'s US name was revealed on May 28, 2006, the same day that {{p|Weavile}}'s name was revealed.
*Mime Jr. is one of three Pokémon on the player's team in the demo version of Diamond and Pearl.
*Mime Jr. is one of the few pre-evolution Pokémon with a wide moveset, learning its last move on level 50. Other pre-evolutions are lucky to learn any moves past level 20.
*Mime jr. Does not learn any moves that it's evolution, [[Mr. Mime]] doesn't learn. From a competitive standpoint Mime jr. is thus quite useless.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. is based on a {{wp|mime}} and a clown. Mime Jr. also looks like ice cream in a cone with whipped cream at the top.
====Name origin====
Mime Jr.'s name is based on that of its evolved form, Mr. Mime. Its Japanese name, ''Manene'', is based on 真似 ''mane'', mimicry. Its Korean name, 흉내내, comes from the Korean word for 'mimicry' (흉내내기).

The '''Olivine Gym''' (Japanese: '''アサギジム''' ''Asagi Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Olivine City]]. It is based on {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Jasmine]]. [[Pokémon trainer|Trainers]] who defeat her receive the [[Badge#Mineralbadge|Mineralbadge]].

==In the anime==
Olivine Gym has made two appearances in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. It first appeared in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light]]''. After a long journey, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] had finally reached Olivine, and Ash was eager for a gym battle. When he entered the gym, a girl claiming to be Jasmine challenged him to a battle. After losing to her {{p|Onix}}, Ash learned that the girl wasn't Jasmine at all. It was her apprentice, [[Janina]]. She apologized for misleading Ash, and the trainer forgave her.

Jasmine herself wasn't in the mood for a battle. [[Amphy|Sparkle]], the {{p|Ampharos}} who provided the light for the [[Olivine Lighthouse]], had gotten very sick. The way to treat it was with medicine found in [[Cianwood City]]. Ash and the others went with Janina to Cianwood to pick up the medicine.

After his adventures in the [[Whirl Islands]], Ash returned to Olivine to battle Jasmine again in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix]]''. She accepted his challenge, with Janina serving as referee. After [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] defeated her {{p|Magnemite}}, she sent out her {{p|Steelix}}, which quickly defeated the {{type2|Electric}}. But [[Ash's Cyndaquil|Cyndaquil]] managed to defeat the Iron Snake Pokémon, earning Ash his Mineralbadge.

====[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]====

==Trivia==
* The Olivine gym is one of the two gyms in the games thus far not to have any trainers save the leader (the other is generation II's [[Viridian Gym]])

==Trivia==
* Ledian's poor movepool and bad stats make it one of the least used Pokémon in competitive battles
===Origin===
Ledian's appearance is that of a ladybird with its shell opened and wings outstretched, which links this Pokémon with {{p|Ledyba}}.
====Name origin====
Ledian's name is a misspelling of ''{{wp|ladybird}}'', also known as a ''ladybug''. It also appears to incorporate ''alien'' into its name, owing to its head which appears similar to {{wp|greys}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ledian
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Coxyclaque - The French corruption means ''ladybird slap''; the ''slap'' obviously referring to the Pokémon's punching-glove like fore and mid legs.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레디안 ''Redian''

==Quotes==
Before battle: 
''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

During battle: 
''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

When defeated: 
''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

After battle: 
''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the Champion. I should warn you-the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''

Last words: 
''"I'll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking."''

=Trivia=
*Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type, yet he is also the only one who does not have at least one move of his specialty type on each of his Pokémon. (All of his Pokémon are part {{t|Psychic}}, yet his {{p|Medicham}} doesn't have any {{t|Psychic}} attacks.)
* On [[Route 228]] there is a house where an old man lives who mentions a grandson who is an elite four, the books in his house (about psychics and mind reading) suggest that this grandson is Lucian

=In the games=
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], Flint is the third member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. He is friends with [[Volkner]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]].

Flint first encounters the player in Sunyshore City, informing him about the recent blackouts and Volkner's disillusionment as a Gym Leader. He asks the player to bring back the excitement of Pokémon battles to Volkner before seemingly returning to the [[Pokémon League]].

Before battle:

''"Yo trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle?''

During battle:

''"I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!''

''"This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!''

When defeated:

''"...! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you... But I didn't think for one second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"''

After battle:

''"...Whew... Burnt right down to cinders..." ''

Last words:

''".....................Keep going..."''

=Trivia=
*Flint has a slight resemblance to the {{wp|McDonald's}} mascot, {{wp|Ronald McDonald}} due to the red {{wp|afro}}, yellow shirt and slightly pale face. Because of this, he has been a butt of many jokes among Pokémon fans.
*Although he specializes in {{type2|Fire}}s, only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them. Only four of these are actual attacking moves.
*Flint is suspected to be the older brother [[Buck]] mentiones due to similiar haircolor and attitude.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is the only {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon. It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when it evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra [[Poké Ball]] in their bag.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja is a brownish Pokémon resembling an insect's exoskeleton. Shedinja has a white halo floating over its head and a black hole on its back. As a matter of fact, it is the shed remains of a {{p|Nincada}} after it evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}. However, there is no logical explanation as to how Shedinja gained a "life" of its own.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, their soul will be stolen. Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to. However, any direct-damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to (or any form of indirect damage) will always knock it out.

Shedinja's movepool is the same as Ninjask's, but with the addition of several {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shedinja don't eat anything at all.

==In the anime==
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. It was owned by [[Colonel Hansen]].

Since then, it has appeared in some episodes involving [[Pokémon Contests]] as an extra.

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=bug
|gen=3
|rubydex=Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.
|sapphiredex=Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a [[Poké Ball]] after a {{p|Nincada}} evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.
|emeralddex=A peculiar Pokémon that floats in air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark.
|firereddex=A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a [[Poké Ball]] when a {{p|Nincada}} evolves.
|leafgreendex=A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a [[Poké Ball]] when a {{p|Nincada}} evolves.
|diamonddex=A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.
|pearldex=A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.

===Base stats===
{{BaseStats|
HP=1 |
Attack=90 |
Defense=45 |
SpAtk=30 |

Speed=40 }}

===Type effectiveness===
Due to {{a2|Wonder Guard|its ability}}, Shedinja is only affected by the types it is weak to - {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Rock}}. Due to its HP, any hit from such a move will knock it out. This means that for Shedinja, the five types mentioned above are one-hit KO's, and the others don't affect it. The only way to get other moves to affect it are status affecting moves or weather, or moves like {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which will cancel Wonder Guard on Shedinja. Abilities like {{a|Mold Breaker}} will also cancel out the ability.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage and wild Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP. However, as a team member Shedinja's HP is not capped.

==Trivia==
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP [[IVs|IV]] cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it.
* A [[Poké Ball]] is only needed to obtain a Shedinja in the [[Generation IV]] games. In other games, it creates its own Poké Ball in the same way that eggs do.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] combination as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base HP stat of all Pokémon.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon that is not a [[baby Pokémon]] to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
*Despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon, a defeated Shedinja will give 2 HP [[EV]]s.
*In addition to it's normal movepool, Shedinja can also learn a single move from Ninjask's Movepool, this is because when Shedinja is "born" it copies Ninjask's current moveset.

===Origin===
