== Trivia ==
This really seems like fanwank to me. I mean, yeah, his name ''is'' Shinji, but does that automatically mean everything about him is an NGE tribute? His personality is pretty much the complete opposite of the NGE Shinji, so it really doesn't seem likely. Unless there's any proof that the writers actually meant to reference NGE with these character names, or they decide to introduce some second cousin named Asuka or something, I feel that it should be removed from the article. --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 16:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:This is not about whether the writers wanted it or not. It's just a funny coincidence that they have similar names. That's why it's in trivia. [[Image:Ani448MS.gif]][[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[Image:Ani447MS.gif]][[User talk:Jmath|'''Talk''']][[Image:Ani448MS.gif]] 17:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

::::If that was the case, it wouldn't be included in the first place. --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 08:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
::::: Dual, you're overthinking it. I was just noting the coincedence. We're not going to get conformation from the writers for every little thing... or anything, for that matter.
::::: You're right: Shinji on it's own means nothing. Shinji and someone with 'Rei' in his name? That's at least suspicious. Ok, Reiji is neither a girl nor (as far as we know) has several back-up clones, but that's beside the point... [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 13:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

== Do you think... ==

Do you think that maybe Paul his hard on his Pokémon because he wants to be better than Reiji? All this time I belived that Paul came from some strange family or was a member of Team Galatic but it turned out he's from a regular one. I can't understand why he would treat his Pokémon in such a way when his own brother treats them exactly the opposite other than he wants to surpass his brother in strenght. Look at all the badges he had. I bet Paul is jealous. In short, could this be mentioned on Paul or Reiji's page? --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 07:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

== Reiji's dub name and English voice confirmed? ==

::Nonetheless, it has always seemed more feminine to me. Almost all unisex names seem more feminine to me. Because it's anime stereotype to give gay males gender-neutral names (like アスカ ''Asuka'' or カオル ''Kaoru'' or even ヨシ ''Yoshi'').

== Car in "Reggie and Paul" picture ==

I haven't actually seen the episode where the picture of Reggie and Paul near the bottom of the takes place, but it seems to me that the steering wheel of the car is on the right hand side, like in England.

::Granted, it's difficult to tell which side of the car the steering wheel is on as a standard in the [[Pokémon world]]. Although it probably varies by [[country]], trust me, if there's an episode [[H016|which has a left-side drive vehicle and a right-side drive vehicle both involved in the same chase]] ([[Butch]] drove left-side, {{an|Daisy}} drove right-side), then it's really difficult to tell just what the standards are! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

'''Kingdra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キングドラ''' ''Kingdra'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Seadra}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dragon Scale}}. It is the final form of {{p|Horsea}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kingdra is a larger, more elegant version of {{p|Seadra}}. It has beautiful fins that wave in the water as it swims. Its head has a crest-like fin along its cheeks. Its head can also turn 360 degrees. Sometimes, a Kingdra leads a herd of {{p|Horsea}} and Seadra and protects it from danger. Its belly scales are now more compact, unlike Seadra. The snout has also become thinner and more powerful in squirting {{m|Hydro Pump|water jets}} with devastating power.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
The {{m|Yawn|yawn}} of a sleeping Kingdra is powerful enough to create {{m|Whirlpool|undercurrents}} capable of destroying small ships.
===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Kingdra are rare in the wild, and usually hibernate in deep underwater caves.
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Kingdra is a carnivorous Pokémon, hunting for prey in the aftermath of a storm.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Fangs for Nothin'.jpg|thumb|right|Kingdra in the anime]]

[[Molly Hale]] used an illusion Kingdra to battle [[Misty]] in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.

Kingdra made its anime debut in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'' where it lost to [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] in the first match of the [[Whirl Cup|Whirl Cup Competition.]]

{{Gary}} owns a Kingdra, as seen in his profile in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

[[Gym Leader]] [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn City]] has a Kingdra that was used in ''[[EP254|Better Eight than Never!]]''

==In the manga==
{{Special|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into Kingdra when he traded it to {{Special|Gold}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}}, which also evolved. The two then traded back, so that each would have his original, though evolved, Pokémon.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Kingdra's normal coloration in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} is similar to the [[alternate coloration]] of its pre-evolutions. This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.
* Kingdra is the only non-legendary, fully evolved {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon not to have a double weakness to {{t|Ice}} (or indeed, ''any'' weakness to Ice).
**It is also the only fully evolved Dragon-type unable to learn {{m|Flamethrower}}.
* Kingdra was the first Dragon-type Pokémon not to be part of the {{p|Dratini}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]].
* Though many of Kingdra's Pokédex entries state that it can create whirlpools, it has not been able to learn {{m|Whirlpool|the move}} since [[Generation II]], when it was an [[HM]].
** However, many of its Pokédex entries state it creates whirlpools by yawning, and it can learn the move [[yawn]].
*Kingdra can rotate their heads 360 degrees.
*It is impossible for a Kingdra to inflict any move that isn't "not very effective" on an Empoleon.
===Origin===
Kingdra is based on a {{wp|weedy sea dragon}}, although the fact that it dwells on the sea floor while creating whirlpools may be based on the mythical monster Charybdis from "{{wp|The Odyssey}}", a greek epic poem by the poet Homer.
====Name origin====
Kingdra's name is a combination of ''king'' and ''dragon''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Seedraking - From ''See'' (sea), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''king''.

'''Emerald''' (Japanese: '''エメラルド''') is the eleventh main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His origin is unknown, although {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

He first appeared in the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, having been brought there by {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. There he met [[Todd Snap|Todd]]. After he bound and gagged {{Tucker}} and stole his {{p|Salamence}}, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the [[Frontier Brains]] and [[Scott]] eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by {{Greta}} and Todd while he is sleeping.

Emerald doesn't like [[Pokémon]] themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{Special|Crystal}}.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by [[Professor Oak]] and Crystal to capture {{p|Jirachi}}. He attempted first time after his fight with {{Brandon}} at the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]] and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his {{p|Sudowoodo}} (revealed to be [[gender|female]] because of its motherly nature) and {{p|Sceptile}} got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with [[Berry|berries]] in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's [[Pokédex]] indicated that it evolved from [[Wally]]'s {{p|Grovyle}}. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

It was later revealed that he was one of the orphans that Crys was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a Pokédex of his own, Professor Oak did offer it to him at one point but he declined. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the [[Trick Master]], who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a [[Fiore|faraway land]]. He also found a green gem that was used as a test to call out {{p|Rayquaza}} but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

* {{p|Sceptile}}
Sceptile, as a {{p|Treecko}},was supposed to be Emerald's starter, however, the day he was going to recive it was the {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} catastrophe. Emerald arrived just seconds after [[Professor Birch]] lost Treecko's Pokéball in the waves. Treecko was eventually found by [[Wally]], and helped him to climb the [[Sky Pillar]] to awake {{p|Rayquaza}}. While climbing, it evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}. When they reached the top, Rayquaza's power send Grovyle flying out of the pillar, and got lost again. After that, he became a rental pokémon in the [[Battle Factory]], he went berserk and Emerald calmed it, then he used it in the battle against [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]]. After defeating Noland Emerald took it. It was later proved that this Scpetile was the same lost Treecko when {{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}} went to the Battle Frontier and their Starters, Zuzu and Toro, recognized Sceptile.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}}
Sudowoodo went crazy and attacked [[Todd Snap]] but was calmed by Emerald. After this incident, Sudowoodo followed Emerald. It's confirmed that it is female because of her motherly attitude.
* {{p|Dusclops}}
This was a wild Pokémon in the [[Battle Pike]]. Emerald determinated that it was from [[Mt. Pyre]]. Like Sudowoodo, it followed him after the incident.
* {{p|Snorlax}}/{{p|Mr. Mime}}/{{p|Mantine}}
These Pokémon were initially loaned to Emerald by [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] while his Pokémon were in their match against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]]'s Pokémon, though he later decided to add all three to his team.

==Trivia==
*Emerald is the only character named after a [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] in Pokémon Special that is male, as {{spe|Blue}}, {{spe|Yellow}}, {{spe|Crystal}}, and {{spe|Platina}} are all female.
*Emerald and Yellow are the only main characters of Pokémon Special not directly [[cross-canon counterparts|based on]] game characters, coincidentally named for third versions of odd-numbered generations.
*Emerald currently owns four [[Pokémon]] that received [[Baby Pokémon|baby forms]] in [[Generation IV]]. [[Sudowoodo (Pokémon)|Four]] [[Snorlax (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] [[Mantine (Pokémon)|owned]] [[Mr. Mime (Pokémon)|by]] Emerald are also owned by other Pokémon Special characters. Therefore, it seems almost inevitable that Emerald's 4 Pokémon will mate with the other character's Pokémon and have babies.
* The [[Trick Master]] says his Soil Gun was based on a device he saw in a far away land. He's probably talking about a [[Capture Styler]], which also calms Pokémon with circles.
* Emerald appears to have [[wp:Dwarfism|dwarfism]].

Super-ancient Pokémon

2008-11-04T02:03:34Z

Silver-Lapras:

[[Image:GenIII Battle.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Groudon and Kyogre battle as Rayquaza arrives.]]
The '''weather trio''' is, for lack of a better defining characteristic of the three, the name of the [[legendary trio]] made up of {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. They are referred to in the games as the '''Super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''超古代ポケモン''' ''Super-ancient Pokémon''), although the Japanese anime has applied this term to [[Fossil]] Pokémon as well.

Although several non-legendary Pokémon, notably {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, have [[abilities]] that can alter the [[weather conditions]], and the {{p|Golduck}} family is capable of having an ability that can stop them altogether, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's abilities were the first sight of these {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing ones}} in the games. This makes them the only legendary trio to not share one universal ability.

Unlike Pokémon with moves like {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, where the weather changes to another for only five turns, the abilities of the legendary trio cause their weather effect for the remainder of the battle, or until the weather is changed again in some way. Rayquaza's, however, only lasts as long as it remains active, and removes the battle effects of any weather on the field, leaving it to just be a pretty-looking environmental effect.

They do not appear to have a [[trio master|master]], though Rayquaza seems to serve as the leader of the three internally. It was shown quelling a violent confrontation between the other two Pokémon during the events of {{game|Emerald}}.

Strangely, this is the only legendary trio whose members do not all have the same [[base stat]] total; Groudon and Kyogre share a total of 670, while Rayquaza's is 680. This fits with its role as a mediator between Groudon and Kyogre.

==Trivia==
*The [[List of Pokémon by color|colors]] of the three members of Weather Trio are the {{wp|RGB|primary colors of light}}, while colors of their {{shiny2}} sprites (including the markings on Rayquaza) are the {{wp|CMYK|primary colors of ink}}.
*Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza could be references to the Biblical {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird respectively.
*The trio may also be a reference to the Japanese movie {{wp|Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack}}.
*The trio may also reference Zeus, Greek God of the Sky (Rayquaza), Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea (Kyogre) and Hades, Greek God of the Underworld (Groudon). Incidentally, Zeus is the strongest of the three as well as the chief god, while Rayquaza acts are the trio's master internally.
*The weather trio are one of two trios that don't all share the same weakness to a certain type.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first time the [[Poké Ball#Master Ball|Master Ball]] was used in the anime.

*Whiscash swallows Sullivan's Master Ball, and is not captured. However, in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting!]]'', a wild {{TP|May|Munchlax}} swallows a [[Poké Ball]] and is captured from the inside out.

*Ironically, Whiscash has a large W on its head, and the Master Ball has an M on it, which looks the same as a W when turned upside-down. This possibly represents Sullivan and the Whiscash's rivalry, similar to Mario and Wario, who has an M and a W, respectively, on their hats.

'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''') is the sixth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His first Pokémon was a {{p|Sneasel}}. As a child, he was kidnapped and raised by the evil [[Mask of Ice]], where he met and became close with {{Special|Blue}}. Together they escaped, and Silver went to [[Johto]], where he later stole [[Professor Elm]]'s {{p|Totodile}}. This is similar to the way Blue stole [[Professor Oak]]'s {{p|Squirtle}} upon her return.

Silver's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon trading and is known as "the trader" (換える者).

In the {{Special|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter}} it is revealed that Silver is the son of [[Giovanni]].

Silver is based on the [[Silver (game)|rival character of the same name]] in the [[Generation II]] games.

* '''Tyranitar''' - Borrowed from [[Lance]].
* '''Politoed''' - Returned to {{Special|Gold}} for Kingdra.
* '''Snubbull''' - Traded to {{Special|Blue}} for Horsea.
* '''Entei''' - Helped out Silver in the final battle.

==Trivia==
* Silver can be considered similar to [[Paul]] of the anime, considering they have similar personalities (in the beginning for Silver) where they both seem to only care about the strength of their Pokemon. They also have similar pokemon, Murkrow (Paul's evolved into Honchkrow), Sneasel (Paul's evolved into Weaville) and Ursaring. As well, they both talk similarily when talking to their rivals, Gold and Ash Ketchum.
