'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using the [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using the [[Mewtwonite Y]].

Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, which it is associated with, and they are thus collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Lumiose Pokédex number|Lumiose Pokédex]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt, ear-like horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon in existence. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the mansion, destroying it in the process. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Though its DNA is almost the same as Mew's, it is bigger and has a different disposition.

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|caves}} somewhere. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure, [[Talking Pokémon|telepathy]], {{m|Teleport|teleporting}} others to another location, and the creation of powerful, world-destroying storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} can survive in outer space. In [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing the transferred person to gain control of its body and abilities.

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Psystrike}}.

===Shadow Mewtwo===
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Ferrum#Shadow Synergy Stone|Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Ferrum#Synergy Stones|Synergy Stones]], which continuously increases its power.

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].

====Mega Mewtwo X====
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from brow-like ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple ridges over its shoulders fusing behind its back as a single, hump-like growth. Its forearms and legs grow much bulkier and gain two protruding ridges resembling veins. Its hands and feet grow bigger, with longer, more prehensile digits. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable boost. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. As revealed in [[Pokkén Tournament]], it can stretch its arms and legs in {{pkmn|battle}}.

=====Mega Shadow Mewtwo X=====
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses both [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Shadow Synergy Burst]] and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

====Mega Mewtwo Y====
Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X Mega Mewtwo Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X archived])</ref>

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
====In the core series games====
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In {{B2W2}}, in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], during the downloadable tournament [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Sabrina]] will use a Mewtwo as part of her team.
** [[Giovanni]] uses a Mewtwo in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]]. It will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X in Ultra Sun, or Mega Mewtwo Y in Ultra Moon.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. Its slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom it defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts it at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the [[Silver (game)|Rival]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.
** In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Mewtwo is classified as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|animated series}} opening appearances of any Legendary Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several similarities regarding [[Mega Evolution]]. Both were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have two Mega Evolutions instead of one, with their Y Mega Evolutions having been revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their [[type]] in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Special Attack|specially}} oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientist|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first Mega Evolution revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest single base stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have an [[Event Pokémon (GO)|event-exclusive form]].
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.
* In Pokémon Pokopia, Mewtwo breaks out of a Master Ball. This is the second time a Pokémon has done this, with the first being Terapagos in Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC.
* Mega Mewtwo Y is the one of four Mega Evolutions that are smaller than the Pokémon itself. The others are Mega {{p|Gengar}} (which only shrinks because it is partially clipping under the floor), Mega {{p|Alakazam}} (which loses size due to it assuming a sitting position) and Mega {{p|Falinks}}.
* Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y were the last Mega Evolutions introduced in [[Generation VI]] to be released in Pokémon GO.
* Due to the game mechanics of Mega Evolution, in Gens [[Generation VI|VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], it is technically possible for Mega Mewtwo X to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y, if it somehow held a Mewtwonite Y.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/national-dex-uu-metagame-discussion-porygon-z-banned.3660920/post-8607197</ref>
** The reverse is also true.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some domestic {{wp|cat}} and {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}. Its tail resembles an {{wp|umbilical cord}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

'''Slowbro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドラン''' ''Yadoran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} starting at [[level]] 37. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being {{p|Slowking}}.

In [[Galar]], Slowbro has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Psychic}} [[regional form]], introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s 1.2.0 patch. It evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke when exposed to a [[Galarica Cuff]]. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowking. These Slowbro can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

[[Kanto]]nian Slowbro can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Slowbro''' using the [[Slowbronite]]. Mega Slowbro was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Galarian Slowbro cannot Mega Evolve.

Slowbro and its evolutionary relatives are associated with {{p|Shellder}}.

==Biology==
Slowbro is a bipedal, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan, striped belly and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has large, vacant eyes, curled ears, and two small pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers on its hands and two clawed toes on its feet. There is a {{p|Shellder}} attached to its tail. This Shellder has a gray, spiral shell with darker gray spots and small, triangular eyes near the base. There are several spikes across the surface of the Shellder, and it holds onto Slowbro with many sharp teeth. Shellder developed its spiral form in an effort to suck more sweetness out of Slowbro's tail. If its tail or the Shellder attached to it is broken off, Slowbro will [[Devolution|revert]] to its unevolved form, {{p|Slowpoke}}.

Slowbro has lost the capability to feel pain due to the Shellder's poison. While typically lazy and unintelligent, Slowbro apparently becomes inspired when the Shellder bites down on its tail. While it is capable of unleashing powerful psychic attacks, Slowbro is typically rather peaceful and usually prefers not to fight. Because it can no longer fish using its tail, it instead swims to catch its prey and allows the Shellder to feed on its leftover scraps. Slowbro tends to live near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|ponds, lakes, and seashores}}. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Slowbro usually sleeps at the same time as the Shellder biting its tail. On occasion, it sleeps even when Shellder is still awake.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

</gallery>

===Forms===
Slowbro can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Slowbro, and has a [[regional form]], {{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro.

====Mega Slowbro====
A Mega Slowbro, it becomes engulfed by the Shellder so that only its head, arms, and white-tipped tail are visible. Its head pokes out of the Shellder's mouth and is surrounded by the Shellder's enlarged teeth. The Shellder has holes on its sides and an opening at its tip, allowing Mega Slowbro's arms and tail to stick out. Mega Slowbro balances on its tail due to its legs being engulfed.

Mega Slowbro can move by bouncing, using its tail as a spring.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-slowbro Mega Slowbro | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150207095015/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-slowbro archived])</ref> The spikes on the Shellder are now reduced to four on the bottom section of its body and the dark spare dots are only visible on its middle section. Mega Slowbro's energy has gathered into Shellder, which has increased its hardness. This allows it to act as {{a|Shell Armor|armor so hard}} that nothing can scratch it. The Slowbro inside is virtually unchanged, but it gains some power and motivation from Shellder's digestive fluids. Mega Slowbro can create water tornadoes to attack foes.

====Galarian Slowbro====
In [[Galar]], Slowbro's appearance differs due to Shellder biting its arm instead of its tail, causing a chemical reaction between the Shellder's poison and the consumed [[Galarica]] spices within the Slowpoke's body.<ref name=SwShsite /> The Shellder attached to its arm resembles the Shellder tail of its Kantonian counterpart, but is smaller, with a purple tip shaped like a stinger, and lacking visible pupils. Galarian Slowbro itself has a slight color difference compared to its counterpart, being pinker, with purple accents on its head, arms, and tail.

Galarian Slowbro is considered highly dangerous for its tendency to indiscriminately attack its surroundings, the reason for which is due to its Shellder sometimes unconsciously biting down hard on its arm. Another reason is that Shellder feels bliss when biting hard enough to absorb Galarian Slowbro's poison. However, Shellder will occasionally faint from the seeping poison, and Galarian Slowbro occasionally lashes out due to the itching caused by said poison. While normally zoned out, when facing a strong opponent its body becomes stimulated, and it will sport a sharper expression. Galarian Slowbro attacks by grabbing at its Shellder's tongue, causing the Shellder to fire poisonous liquids from its tip. It attacks at speeds rivaling the quickest of known reflexes.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-slowbro/ Galarian Slowbro | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Galar's regional life is simulated.

Galarian Slowbro is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shell Side Arm}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Quick Draw}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slowbro evolves from {{p|Slowpoke}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Slowking}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro evolves from Galarian Slowpoke. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowking.

==Trivia==
* Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers its [[Evolution]], mentioned in most of its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Slowbro's Evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the [[core series]], unlike how the Evolution of {{p|Mantyke}} requires a {{p|Remoraid}}.
{{bulbanews|Mega Audino and Slowbro revealed}}
* Mega Slowbro was first accidentally revealed on the official Korean Pokémon website on August 12, 2014, two days prior to its official release by [[Junichi Masuda]].
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Slowbro is tied with {{p|Cloyster}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Slowbro's tail has an attached Shellder — the pre-evolved form of Cloyster — which grows to engulf it during Mega Evolution. This may have been an intended parallel.
** Mega Slowbro also has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Slowbro's Pokédex entries state that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to a Slowpoke. This is a rare example of [[devolution]] being mentioned in the games.
* Slowbro and {{p|Raichu}} are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
** {{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro cannot Mega Evolve into Mega Slowbro, however.
* Slowbro, its Galarian form, and their evolutionary relatives are the only Psychic-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Galarian Slowbro and its evolutionary relative, Galarian {{p|Slowking}}, are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Due to the game mechanics of Mega Evolution, from [[Generation VI|Gen VI]] to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A|Legends: ZA]], in Generation VIII it is technically possible Galarian Slowbro to Mega Evolve.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/national-dex-uu-metagame-discussion-porygon-z-banned.3660920/post-8607197</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Slowbro's physical appearance may be loosely based on {{wp|hippopotamus}}es, {{wp|giant otter}}s, and {{wp|giant salamander}}s. Slowbro's shell and lifestyle may also be based on {{wp|hermit crab}}s, further supported by its {{pkmn|category}} as the Hermit Crab Pokémon. It also shares similarities with the mythical {{wp|sazae-oni}}, a magical sea demon of Japanese folklore distinguished by its {{wp|Turbo sazae|spiny turban snail shell}}.

Mega Slowbro's upright and balanced stance may draw inspiration from an early ''{{wp|beigoma}}'', a Japanese spinning top originally made from a sea snail shell (notably the {{wp|Babylonia japonica|Japanese ivory shell}}) stuffed with sand or clay.

Galarian Slowbro's {{type|Poison}} might draw inspiration from {{wp|cone snail}}s, which have cone-shaped shells and are highly venomous. The shell's position on Slowbro's arm and use for ranged attacks resembles depictions of arm cannons in fiction.

====Name origin====
Slowbro may be a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'' (short for ''brother'').

Yadoran may involve 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}), 宿主 ''yadonushi'' (parasitic host), and 鈍 ''don'' (dull). According to {{wp|Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavian}} singer-songwriter {{wp|Jadranka Stojaković}}, Yadoran was named after her first name (transliterated as ヤドランカ ''Yadoranka'' in Japanese). Stojaković had worked for {{wp|Konami}} during her residence in Japan, and a former colleague of hers who later joined [[Game Freak]] brought her name to mind while naming Yadoran.<ref>[https://radiosarajevo.ba/metromahala/lica/jadranka-stojakovic-vratila-sam-se-definitivno/54320 Jadranka Stojaković: Vratila sam se definitivno / Radio Sarajevo] ''in Bosnian''</ref>

'''Guillotine''' (Japanese: '''ハサミギロチン''' ''Pincer Guillotine'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Guillotine always inflicts exactly 65535 [[HP]] damage if it hits. Its [[accuracy]] is 30%. Guillotine will break a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} if it hits.

Unlike other moves that skip the [[damage]] formula, Guillotine does not bypass type immunities.

Guillotine will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II===
Guillotine now inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. The accuracy of Guillotine is now calculated using the following formula:

<math>Accuracy = \left( \frac{(Level_{user}-Level_{target}) \times 2 + 76}{256}\right) \times 100\%</math>

If the user is a lower [[level]] than the target, the move always fails (Speed no longer has any impact on the success of Guillotine). If the user is 90 levels or more higher than the target, Guillotine's accuracy is 100% (even though the formula would produce values over 100% for a difference of 91 or more).

This formula means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% (<math>\tfrac{76}{256}</math>) when the Pokémon have the same level, and grows by approximately 0.78% (<math>\tfrac{2}{256}</math>) for every level higher than the target that the user is. This accuracy is affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats.

===Generations III onwards===
Despite having an accuracy of 30% listed, Guillotine's chance of hitting a Pokémon is instead calculated using the following formula:

<math>HitChance = (Level_{user}-Level_{target} + 30)\%</math>

This formula means that the accuracy starts at 30% when the Pokémon have the same level, and is 1% more likely to hit for every level the user is higher than the target. If the user is at least 70 levels higher than the target, Guillotine will always hit. If the user is a lower [[level]] than the target, the move always fails.

This chance of hitting is not an accuracy: it is not affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats, nor is it affected by other accuracy modifiers such as {{m|Gravity}}, [[Wide Lens]], and {{a|Compound Eyes}}. Additionally, Guillotine cannot hit a [[Semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable]] Pokémon. However, effects that guarantee moves to hit (such as {{a|No Guard}} and {{m|Lock-On}}) still affect Guillotine if the user's level isn't lower than the target's.

Guillotine can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Vise Grip|ViceGrip}} was used in the previous turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Miracle Eye}} was used in the prior turn.

When used in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon while it is under the effect of a mysterious barrier, Guillotine will deplete two bars of the barrier's strength. Otherwise, Guillotine will always fail against Dynamax Pokémon. [[Tera Raid]] bosses are unaffected by Guillotine.

'''Guillotine''' (Japanese: '''ハサミギロチン''' ''Pincer Guillotine'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Guillotine always inflicts exactly 65535 [[HP]] damage if it hits. Its [[accuracy]] is 30%. Guillotine will break a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} if it hits.

Unlike other moves that skip the [[damage]] formula, Guillotine does not bypass type immunities.

Guillotine will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II===
Guillotine now inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. The accuracy of Guillotine is now calculated using the following formula:

<math>Accuracy = \left( \frac{(Level_{user}-Level_{target}) \times 2 + 76}{256}\right) \times 100\%</math>

If the user is a lower [[level]] than the target, the move always fails (Speed no longer has any impact on the success of Guillotine). If the user is 90 levels or more higher than the target, Guillotine's accuracy is 100% (even though the formula would produce values over 100% for a difference of 91 or more).

This formula means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% (<math>\tfrac{76}{256}</math>) when the Pokémon have the same level, and grows by approximately 0.78% (<math>\tfrac{2}{256}</math>) for every level higher than the target that the user is. This accuracy is affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats.

===Generations III onwards===
Despite having an accuracy of 30% listed, Guillotine's chance of hitting a Pokémon is instead calculated using the following formula:

<math>HitChance = (Level_{user}-Level_{target} + 30)\%</math>

This formula means that the accuracy starts at 30% when the Pokémon have the same level, and is 1% more likely to hit for every level the user is higher than the target. If the user is at least 70 levels higher than the target, Guillotine will always hit. If the user is a lower [[level]] than the target, the move always fails.

This chance of hitting is not an accuracy: it is not affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats, nor is it affected by other accuracy modifiers such as {{m|Gravity}}, [[Wide Lens]], and {{a|Compound Eyes}}. Additionally, Guillotine cannot hit a [[Semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable]] Pokémon. However, effects that guarantee moves to hit (such as {{a|No Guard}} and {{m|Lock-On}}) still affect Guillotine if the user's level isn't lower than the target's.

Guillotine can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Vise Grip|ViceGrip}} was used in the previous turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Miracle Eye}} was used in the prior turn.

When used in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon while it is under the effect of a mysterious barrier, Guillotine will deplete two bars of the barrier's strength. Otherwise, Guillotine will always fail against Dynamax Pokémon. [[Tera Raid]] bosses are unaffected by Guillotine.

Guillotine defeats the target in one hit. Prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Guillotine knocks out the target by dealing "calamitous damage" (Japanese: '''とてつもないタメージ''' ''tremendous damage'') which is internally treated as 9999 damage. Additionally, it will fail against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

The '''Slowbronite''' (Japanese: '''ヤドランナイト''' ''Yadorannite'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is the [[Mega Stone]] that allows [[Kanto]]nian {{p|Slowbro}} to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Slowbro.

==In the core series games==
===Price===

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev7|PE}}|{{PDollar}}30,000|N/A}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====In battle====
If held by a Kantonian {{p|Slowbro}} (or is present in the {{player}}'s [[Bag]]{{sup/7|PE}}), the Slowbronite allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Slowbro if its {{pkmn|Trainer}} has a [[Key Stone]]. A Trainer can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle (or only have one Mega-Evolved Pokémon at any given moment{{sup/9|ZA}}).

As a [[Mega Stone]], it is unaffected by item-negating effects (such as {{m|Embargo}} and {{a|Klutz}}). Item-manipulating effects (such as {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Fling}}) cannot give or remove a Slowbronite from Slowbro.

====Outside of battle====
If held by a Slowbro, the Slowbronite allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Slowbro when it performs a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}} during a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]] if its Trainer has a Key Stone. Slowbro will remain a Mega Slowbro until the [[Pokémon Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round]] ends.

Any Pokémon holding a Slowbronite in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} cannot be [[trade]]d to {{g|X and Y}}.

==Trivia==
* Because Mega Stones from [[Generation VI]] to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A|Legends ZA]] used Pokèdex number to check if a Pokèmon could Mega Evolve, it is techinally possible for Galarian Slowbro to Mega evolve into Kantonian Mega Slowbro.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mega-galarian-slowbro-discussion.3754276/ Mega Galarian Slowbro - Discussion]</ref>

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{fd|Terapagos|three forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''', and a unique {{type|Stellar}} [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]] referred to as its '''Stellar Form'''. At the start of a {{pkmn|battle}}, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its {{a|Tera Shift}} [[Ability]], and transforms into its Stellar Form upon {{Tera}}stallizing.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. [[Pagogo|It]] also plays an important role in {{aniseries|HZ}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Terapagos energy shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Terapagos's protective barrier]]
Terapagos is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, turtle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an indigo body and strong crystalline motifs present in all of its forms. Each of its forms incorporates Terastal imagery, including hexagonal geometry, star symbolism, and a prominent cyan or light blue gem connected to its shell. Its eyes are consistently light blue with four-pointed, star-shaped pupils, often accented by glowing highlights. Diamond- or rhombus-like shapes recur across its design, whether as markings, jewelry-like protrusions, or crystalline growths. As Terapagos transitions into its higher forms, its physical presence becomes increasingly luminous and gem-like, emphasizing its connection to Terastal and Stellar energy.

Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. It inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era and was thought that this species went extinct, with it said to have been caught up in seismic shifts that occurred about 2,000,000 years ago. However, {{ga|Terapagos|one specimen}} managed to survive by crystallizing its own body and going into hibernation in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], where it laid low until the present day.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_normal_form/ Normal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> According to [[Briar]], it is made of [[Terastal energy]]. With the power of its crystals, it can {{m|Tera Starstorm|bombard its foes with star-shaped projectiles}}. Terapagos can alter timelines in some capacity, as seen in the [[core series]] games and {{pkmn|animated series}}. An example of this is it being capable of using [[Crystal Cluster|crystals]] such as the ones from the [[Crystal Pool]] to bring [[human]]s and objects forward from other points in time<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"[...] It sends [[Poké Ball]]s to a different point on the timeline to catch Pokémon there, and it can then draw them back here to the present."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref> as seen with [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, who hadn't yet finished their time machine,<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> and [[Rystal]], who lived 100 years in the past. While using this ability, a mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back.

As depicted in several {{aniseries|HZ}} episodes, Terapagos can also create visions of its own memories and even of other people's. Due to the Terastal energy its body produces, Terapagos was responsible for allowing advanced technologies to exist in spite of human limitations. These include [[Tera Orb]]s, the professor's AI duplicate, and a [[time machine]] that summons [[Paradox Pokémon]] from different points in time or even from other [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]]. Tera Orbs directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos will become able to Terastallize Pokémon without the need to recharge.<ref>[[Briar]]: ''"[...] I think it might be because your [[Tera Orb|orbs]] were directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos. [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]] say that ever since the underdepths, they've been able to {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon without charging their Tera Orbs."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Terapagos also has a strong connection to the {{t|Stellar}} [[type]].<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/stellar_tera_type/ Master the Stellar Tera Type—the 19th Tera Type! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', [[Spinel]] comes to the conclusion that Terapagos and [[Laquium]] are opposite forces. In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it was shown absorbing the energy of the [[Tera Shard]]s in Area Zero to power up. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it was also shown drawing power from its allies into itself to enhance its abilities. As shown in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', {{p|Sableye}}, who feed on gemstones and crystals, seem to be interested in Terapagos's crystalline body.

[[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the chapter "A Disk Pokémon?" of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> Eventually, the public saw his findings as too fantastical to possibly be real, but Heath's descendant, Briar proved its existence by writing her first book: ''[[Briar's Book|The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'', which details the expedition she, the [[Player character|player]], [[Kieran]], and [[Carmine]] made in Area Zero Underdepths.

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

</div>

====Normal Form====
[[File:Terapagos dormant state artwork.png|thumb|left|130px|Terapagos in its dormant state]]
Normal Form Terapagos is small in stature and has clearly defined legs, feet, and a tail. Its cyan hexagonal shell is compact and bears a simple Terastal symbol on its back. Cyan four-pointed stars with ring-like markings appear on its neck, legs, and tail tip. Its feet have three toes each. It possesses diamond-shaped ornaments, including a pattern on its forehead, two dangling diamond-shaped earrings, and a segmented, diamond-like ponytail that tapers in size and shifts toward a purplish hue near the end.

{{spoilers}}
Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and particularly weak Pokémon; for that reason, it can assume a dormant state whenever its life is put in danger or it needs to hibernate, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size, which makes itself look like an ordinary jewel.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can also crystallize the energy in its own body to form a green, protective barrier around itself if necessary, even in its dormant state. Through this same power, Terapagos causes glowing, hard crystals to form around it, even in its dormant state, which gave [[Area Zero]] its distinctive appearance.

As depicted in {{aniseries|HZ}}, like other turtles, [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] is unable to move if it is turned upside down, needing outside help to stand back up. It has shown to have an incredibly long lifespan, with one known to have lived for millions of years, at least during its slumber within its shell. As shown in [[HZ132]], Normal Form Terapagos is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize.{{left clear}}

Normal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}} as its [[Ability]].

====Terastal Form====
[[File:Terapagos Terastal Back.png|thumb|right|200px|The type icons morphing on Terastal Form Terapagos's shell]]
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles an indigo {{wp|sea turtle}}. It has thick, voluminous fur that forms a mane around its head and three tail-like masses at its rear, varying in color from greenish yellow to sky blue and glowing brightly in dark environments. Its hind legs are entirely concealed by fur, while only the tips of its front toes remain visible, rendering it unable to walk and requiring it to float instead. The shell transforms into a complex structure composed of eighteen irregular pentagons, each bearing a shifting symbol representing one of the eighteen types. Additional solid light-blue pentagons appear along the shell's rim. Its former earrings and ponytail are no longer distinct, having merged into the structure of its head.

[[File:Terastal Terapagos using Water Pulse.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Terastal Form Terapagos using {{m|Water Pulse}}]]
Normal Form Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|can absorb the energy around itself}} when it is either in danger or about to {{pkmn|battle}}, thus transforming into its Terastal Form. Its shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy and holds the power of every type, allowing it to {{a|Tera Shell|distort type matchups}} and render [[move]]s as not very effective.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Terastal Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> Its shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, and flies up to fire the move from the gem in the center of its shell. As seen in [[HZ064|''The Approaching Shadow!'']], due to being opposites, in this form, Terapagos can purify [[Laquium]] by absorbing its mist and destroying the crystal itself, which reverts its effects on Pokémon as a result. As shown in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', it is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other Pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize, but forcing itself back to its Normal Form. In this form, it is known as "the Indigo Disk" due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shell}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}

====Stellar Form====
[[File:Stellar Terapagos using Meteor Beam.png|thumb|left|200px|Stellar Form Terapagos while using {{m|Meteor Beam}}]]
Stellar Form Terapagos looks just like its Terastal Form, but now enveloped in a radiant, rainbow-colored aura and floating above a massive indigo crystal dome patterned with overlapping hexagons. Beneath the dome are four crystal formations arranged like turtle legs. Atop its central shell gem lies a Stellar-type Tera Jewel, a white crown with a base surrounded by diamonds, each colored after one of the eighteen other types, topped by crystal statue in the shape of Normal Form Terapagos, with a pair of angry-looking eyes on its face, topped by the symbol of the Terastal phenomenon—a dark blue hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner. Eighteen hexagonal gems, each displaying a type icon and color, orbit the dome continuously. All shell icons shift to cyan coloration in this form.

When exposed to a [[Tera Orb]], Terapagos will {{Tera}}stallize and become {{type|Stellar}}, thus morphing into its Stellar Form.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_stellar_form/ Stellar Form Terapagos | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> However, in {{aniseries|HZ}}, it has been shown to be able to transform without the need of a Tera Orb. This form is said to resemble the world as the ancients saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile, in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, [[Heath]] describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a Pokémon or even a living being, though he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos may cause cracks around it during its transformation and even risks wreaking havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist being {{pkmn2|caught}} by a [[Master Ball]], destroying it in the process. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing [[Terastal energy]] from other Terastallized Pokémon, reverting them back to normal; however, it is unable to repeatedly do this. It can also create Tera Shields around itself which can only be broken by Terastallized Pokémon. It can even use the power of the Terastal phenomenon to change its type mid-battle. The hidden powers within Stellar Form Terapagos are capable of {{a|Teraform Zero|reducing to zero}} all effects of [[weather]] and [[terrain]]. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using certain [[special move]]s, Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to fire the move from it. As revealed by [[Briar]] in ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', Terapagos is capable of resonating with other Pokémon, specifically with their {{Tera|Tera Type}}s, which grants it more power. Resonating with 18 Pokémon, each possessing one of the 18 known Tera Types allows Terapagos to use its full power. This, however, will drain away its power, forcing it into hibernation. As shown in [[HZ135]], Terapagos is capable of Terastalizing up to 18 Pokémon at the same time in this form. In this form, it is referred to as a "Disk Pokémon" because of its disk-shaped shell, as well as "the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" due to being seen a secret treasure sought by the Paldean empire 2,000 years ago.

Stellar Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teraform Zero}} as an [[Ability]].

===Side game data===

===Form data===
Outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Terapagos is always in its Normal Form. When it enters a battle for the first time, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Tera Shift}} and will never change back to Normal Form until the battle ends, even if it [[faint]]s. As a result, its Normal Form cannot legitimately be used in a battle. Terastal Form Terapagos also has Tera Shift replaced by its other signature Ability {{a|Tera Shell}}. If Terapagos {{Tera}}stallizes during a battle, it transforms into its Stellar Form, adding its third signature Ability, {{a|Teraform Zero}}. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Tera Starstorm}} also changes from {{t|Normal}}- to {{type|Stellar}} and targets both opponents in a [[Double Battle]].

Since the other two forms have higher base HP stats, Terapagos's maximum HP will increase and its current HP will be revised to its new maximum HP minus the amount of HP it had lost before changing form.

Terapagos has a unique form change animation when changing from its Normal Form to its Terastal Form that shows it glowing and rising into the air before its form changes.

Terapagos's {{Tera|Tera Type}} is always {{t|Stellar}} and cannot be changed at the [[Treasure Eatery]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|A sketch of Stellar Form Terapagos in the Scarlet/Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Terapagos is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose [[base stat]] total changes upon {{Tera}}stallizing.
* Terapagos has several similarities to {{p|Eternatus}}. Both are [[Legendary Pokémon]] that are responsible for the special type of transformation found within their [[region]]s of origin ([[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] for [[Galar]] and {{Tera}}stallization for [[Paldea]], respectively) and have entered a state of dormancy sometime in the distant past. Both of them were also introduced in a game which would receive [[Downloadable content|DLC]] and whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[Legendary duo]].
** They also share similar traits regarding their [[form]]s, as both have an exclusive form that increase their [[base stats]] ({{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} and Stellar Form) and can absorb the energy related to the phenomena ([[Galar particles]] and [[Terastal energy]]) from other Pokémon, therefore rendering them unavailable, as well as a form that cannot be used by the {{player}}, but have programmed stats (Eternamax and Normal Form).
** In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Stellar Form Terapagos is animated with 3D animation rather than 2D, making it the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to use 3D animation, with the first being {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* Normal Form Terapagos is tied with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Shroodle}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon to have three [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]], the most out of any Pokémon.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an EV yield total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
** Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different [[EV]] yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
* While Terapagos as a species has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|50-50 gender ratio]], the only Terapagos encounter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that is able to learn [[move]]s through [[TM]]s, but not {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* Terapagos's [[cry]] is almost identical to the sound that is made when a Pokémon Terastallizes.
** The cry also incorporates the leitmotif commonly associated in-game with [[Area Zero]], Terapagos's habitat. It is more easily distinguished when the cry is played at slower speed.
* One of Stellar Form Terapagos's attack animations has it use the 18 hexagonal gems orbiting its dome to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. This symbol is the same one featured in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]'s logo.

* During an {{DL|Let's Go!|Auto Battle}}, Terapagos will transform into its Terastal Form before defeating a [[wild Pokémon]], and then switch back to its Normal Form.
* Despite being the source of the Terastal phenomenon, which contains the power of every [[type]], Terapagos cannot learn any {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Flying}} moves, nor can it learn {{m|Tera Blast}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
** This mirrors its internal name from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where Terapagos is also referred to as "kodaikame".
* Terapagos cannot have its {{Tera|Tera Type}} be changed under normal circumstances in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. If [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Terapagos to have a different Tera Type, the game will lag significantly while Terastallizing; however, unlike with {{p|Ogerpon}}, the game will not {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}}. {{a|Illusion}} will also not work if either Terapagos or the Pokémon with the [[Ability]] Terastallizes.

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It, especially in its Normal Form, may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}; in particular, it may be inspired by {{wp|Lonesome George}}, the last {{wp|Pinta Island tortoise}} (a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise), as Terapagos is said to be extinct aside from a lone male survivor.

Terapagos may be inspired by the rainbow-shelled turtle from the Japanese folktale about a fisherman named {{wp|Urashima Tarō}}. In the story, this turtle carries Tarō to the Dragon Palace beneath the sea, a detail that may be reflected by the concept of the mostly underwater [[Blueberry Academy]] (the main setting of [[The Indigo Disk]], in which Terapagos was introduced). Additionally, the story ends with the fisherman aging rapidly into an old man with long white hair, similar to how Terapagos changes form when it enters battle.

The Terastal Form's hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. Terapagos, especially in its Stellar Form, may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. This connection is furthered by the Stellar Form's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], which state that it resembles "the world as the ancients saw it" and "a planet floating in space". By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a tortoise shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons and could be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}. Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''{{Tera}}stal'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

'''Professor Sada''' (Japanese: '''オーリム博士''' ''Dr. Olim'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]. Her counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] is [[Professor Turo]].

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
When Sada was a child, she got a copy of [[Heath]]'s expedition journal, the [[Scarlet Book]], becoming fixated with the idea of Pokémon from other eras.

Ten years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet, Professor Sada was part of the team that explored the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up four [[Area Zero#Research Stations|Research Stations]] and the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. While in the crater, Sada started researching methods to catch Pokémon from different timelines inspired by Scarlet Book, however, the progress has been slow and filled with failures, not leaving her lab in a long time as a result. One day she ended up finding herself in [[Crystal Pool|an unfamiliar place]], where [[player|a child]] gave her [[Briar's Book|a white volume]], which would help her during her research. Sada was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning her corporate backing for her projects and allowing her to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, she was able to harness more of the [[Terastal energy|unstable energy]], despite concern from her funders, and moved the majority of her research back to the Zero Lab. Sada, fascinated with the ancient Pokémon depicted in the Scarlet Book, succeeded in developing a [[time machine]] that would allow her to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from either ancient points in the timeline, or from different timelines, by transporting [[Poké Ball]]s there and then bringing them back to her. These included {{p|Koraidon}}, a Pokémon extremely similar to {{p|Cyclizar}}.

However, Sada began to become obsessed with her research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in her pursuit of a paradise for her family. Not long after [[Arven]] was born, Arven's father abandoned Sada. At some point, Sada brought her {{ga|Koraidon}} to the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]], where she lived in with Arven and his {{TP|Arven|Maschiff|Mabosstiff}}, until Koraidon started attracting too much attention, forcing her to return to the Zero Lab. Going deeper into her work and ironically neglecting the very family she had sought to build her paradise for, Arven ended up growing up in the lighthouse lab on his own, never seeing or connecting with Sada due to the latter's newfound devotion to the Tera Project. This estrangement was intensified by Sada's search for a more suitable assistant, leading to her creating an {{wp|artificial intelligence}} copy of herself using the Zero Lab's crystals to double productivity, as humanity does not possess the knowledge to develop a sophisticated AI in the time period the game takes place in, which is why the AI cannot leave Area Zero. Together, they were able to transport a second, more aggressive Koraidon to the present day, in hopes that the two Koraidon could survive and thrive in their new surroundings. At some point, Sada also developed the [[Poké Ball]] Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for her lab.

Sada was determined to maintain her dream of past and present Pokémon existing in harmony. Unfortunately, Sada's research was cut short when she attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Koraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Sada eventually passed away, leaving her AI to manage the remnants of her work in her place. However, the AI did not agree with accepting the ecological consequences of Sada's dream, and began impersonating her, reaching out to Sada's associates in hopes of finding a way to end the Tera Project once and for all.

====[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]====
The AI first contacts the {{player}} in [[Naranja Academy]] while impersonating the real Professor Sada. She was presented by director [[Clavell]] in his office, asking the player to take care of her weakened {{ga|Koraidon}} for the time being.

=====Path of Legends=====
Throughout the game, the AI frequently contacts the player through their [[Rotom Phone]] as Koraidon gradually regains its powers by eating [[Herba Mystica]] {{i|sandwich}}es. Once Koraidon fully regained its powers, [[Arven]] and the player talk with the AI in [[Poco Path]]'s lighthouse, where she asks the player to travel to the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] to help her with her research.

=====The Way Home=====
As the player, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] traverse the area to reach Sada's laboratory, and along the way they discover the history of the two Koraidon and Sada's [[time machine]] in [[Area Zero journals|notebooks]] left behind in each research station.

At [[Area Zero]]'s [[Zero Lab]], the AI reveals its nature to the player and the fate that befell its creator. While Sada wished to let Pokémon of the past keep entering the modern day through the time machine, the AI refuses to let the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s ecosystem be ruined by these time-displaced Pokémon and asks for the player's help in shutting down the time machine. The AI is, however, programmed to protect the time machine, so the player is forced to battle it and the Paradox Pokémon it wields against the AI's will.

After the AI is defeated, the security system initiates the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|楽園防衛|らくえんぼうえい}}プログラム''' ''Paradise Defense Program''), which sends out the AI's Koraidon, and activates the Poké Ball Lock System, preventing the player from using any of their Pokémon due to lacking Sada's ID. Thus, the player uses their Koraidon, whose [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] has Sada's ID associated, to battle against the AI's Koraidon. Once the Paradise Protection Protocol has been defeated, the AI understands that the time machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present to reboot the system, so it chooses to travel to the ancient past its creator had hoped to see, bidding farewell to the player and their friends as it disappears into the time machine.

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
If the player visits the [[Crystal Pool]] in [[Kitakami]] after catching {{p|Terapagos}} and obtaining [[Briar's Book]], a Professor Sada that hadn't built a time machine will appear before them from a cloud of mist, with Koraidon being happy to see her again. She theorizes that she has somehow wound up there through space and time, possibly even from an alternate timeline. Talking with Sada reveals that she is still in the process of trying to create the time machine and hasn't seen her son Arven for quite some time. Noticing the player's copy of Briar's Book, Sada becomes fascinated by the information it contains regarding the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and offers to trade it for the [[Scarlet Book]] she had as a child, which the player agrees to, before the mist disappears and transports Sada back to where she came from.

===Pokémon===
AI Sada's Pokémon are contained in [[Master Ball]]s.

====Second battle====
Koraidon is given the title '''the Guardian of Paradise''' during the battle, and its HP is displayed similarly to a [[Starmobile]] or [[Titan Pokémon]].

As a scripted battle, the enemy Koraidon will always use {{m|Taunt}} on the first turn to prevent the player from using {{m|Endure}} during the first three turns. If the player's Pokémon receives an otherwise lethal attack, it will always survive with 1 HP, even if it has not used Endure on that turn. Damage is never varied by a random factor during calculation, and [[critical hit]]s cannot occur during this battle. {{m|Flamethrower}} never causes a {{status|burn}}. Once the [[harsh sunlight]] instigated by {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} ends (which is eight turns due to the enemy Koraidon's held item), the player's Pokémon will be forced to {{Tera}}stallize (if it has not already) and use {{m|Tera Blast}} every turn until the enemy Koraidon is defeated.

{{main|Professor Sada's Vitality (Paradox Rift 170)}}
Professor Sada was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as '''Professor's Research [Professor Sada]''' during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} set, before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, as both a Regular card and an {{TCG|ultra rare}}. Both versions feature artwork by [[kirisAki]]. The card allows players to discard their hand, then draw seven cards; an identical effect to other Professors' cards.

The {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} expansion in Japan) saw the release of a second card featuring Professor Sada: '''{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Professor Sada's Vitality|170}}''', with artwork by [[Megumi Mizutani]]. This card allows players to attach a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} from their discard pile to up to two of their Ancient Pokémon, as well as to draw three cards.

==Trivia==
*Professor Sada was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601480836062117888 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
**She and [[Professor Turo]] are the first human characters designed by Turner for the [[core series]] games.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601664573374726144 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
*She and Professor Turo both differ from the previous Pokémon Professors from the core series in many ways:
**Neither of them have names derived from flora.
***However, [[Arven]], their son, does.
**Both have been confirmed deceased before the game's events and are met after their death.
***They are also the first Trainers in the core series to be battled post-mortem, via an AI.
**Both served as the main antagonist and as the final opponent before the [[credits]] in a core series game.
** Both are version-exclusive.
*She and Professor Turo both differ from the previous main antagonists from the core series in many ways:
**Both have been confirmed deceased before the game’s events and are met after their death.
**Both are not battled in person.
**Both are not backed by any sort of organization. 
* Unlike previous Trainer battles in which the opponent battles the player with more than six Pokémon, the player also uses a seventh Pokémon against AI Sada. This is also the case when battling her counterpart AI Turo.
* AI Sada's eye color changes from cyan to brown after she is battled for the first time, and remains brown for the remainder of her appearance in Pokémon Scarlet.

Dragon (TCG)

{{redirect|Dragon (TCG)|the TCG release|EX Dragon (TCG)}}
{{TCGTypes|tcg dragon}}
The '''Dragon type''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴン''' ''Dragon'') is one of the eleven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}. It is represented by the color gold and symbolized by a serpentine figure.

The Dragon type contains most {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon found in the [[core series]] video games. For example, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Haxorus}} are Dragon types in the TCG. Prior to {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} ({{TCG|Dragon Selection}} in Japan), the Dragon type was represented by the {{TCG|Colorless}} type.

Dragon-type cards were absent from {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} until {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, when they were reworked to have no Weakness or Resistance. ''Sword & Shield'' Series Dragon-type Pokémon cards feature claw marks in the upper-right corner and the Dragon-type symbol in the center of the card's attack box (the latter not present on {{TCG|Pokémon V}} and {{TCG|Full Art card}}s). At the beginning of the ''Scarlet & Violet'' Series, the Dragon type was briefly retired once again before returning in {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} ({{TCG|Clay Burst}} in Japan), no longer with the special claw marks and Dragon type symbol but retaining their lack of Weakness and Resistance. Dragon-type cards in the ''Scarlet & Violet'' Series onwards are more sparse than in previous series, as many (but not all) dual-typed {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are mainly or exclusively depicted with the TCG type corresponding to their other type.

Unlike all other types, other than Colorless, there is no Dragon type [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy card]], and no Pokémon can use a Dragon-type energy in its {{TCG|Attack}}. Instead, Dragon Pokémon cards are typically associated with two non-Colorless types of energy costs in their attacks, one of which derived from the Pokémon's (non-{{e|colorless}}) secondary type in the [[core series]] (for example, {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Zekrom|64}}'s attack costs used {{e|Lightning}} and {{e|Fire}}). Especially between {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, some Dragon cards used a single energy cost type that corresponds to their secondary type.

==Battle properties==
Generally, Dragon Pokémon have a weakness to:
* Dragon (prior to the {{TCG|XY}} expansion)
* {{TCG|Fairy}} (from the XY expansion through {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}} expansion)

These types are generally weak to Dragon Pokémon:
* Dragon (prior to the {{TCG|XY}} expansion)

==Dragon Pokémon in the TCG==
See [[:Category:Dragon-type Pokémon cards]] for all Pokémon cards that have this type.

==Trivia==
* The Dragon type was introduced to the Pokémon TCG in 2012, which coincided with the {{wp|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}, according to the {{wp|Chinese calendar}}.

Ultra Burst

{{samename|transformation from the manga Pokémon RéBURST|Burst}}
[[File:Ultra Burst artwork.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Necrozma}} using Ultra Burst]]
'''Ultra Burst''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラバースト''' ''Ultra Burst'') is a [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} that affects only the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Necrozma}}. It appeared only once in the [[core series]], but it also appears in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] such as [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

Necrozma requires an overwhelming amount of light and [[Z-Power]] to undergo Ultra Burst. In the core series, it must be in either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form and be holding [[Ultranecrozium Z]] to undergo the transformation.

==In the core series games==
===History===

==== Background ====
Ultra Burst is {{p|Necrozma}}'s method of returning to its original, Ultra form. Many years prior to the events of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Necrozma was always in this form, offering its light to many worlds, including the one of the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This light became the [[Z-Power]] and aura found in [[Totem Pokémon]] and [[Z-Move]]s. Necrozma was heavily injured by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]'s ancestors who attempted to steal its light;, transforming it into a black crystalline shape that it is currently known as. It can revert to its true appearance when it has absorbed an overwhelming amount of light energy. It can get this energy from {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} and by absorbing Z-Power into its system.

==== [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] ====
After the events of [[Lusamine]] using [[Nebby]]'s power at [[Aether Paradise]] and leaving into [[Ultra Space]] with [[Guzma]], [[Lillie]] and the {{Player}} summon the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with Alola's ritual: by evolving Nebby into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}}. They're interrupted by an [[Ultra Wormhole]] appearing, in which Guzma and Lusamina are thrown out of. Lusamine warns Lillie to stay away from the monster, with Necrozma reaching through the Ultra Wormhole and making its way into Alola. Nebby takes action and fights against Necrozma, resulting in its defeat. Necrozma pins down Nebby and absorbs its light, transforming into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]]{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. With light being drawn from Alola, [[Poni Island]] is covered in darkness. In the process, it escaped into [[Ultra Megalopolis]], taking back the light it once claimed as its own and using Nebby's light to use Ultra Burst to become Ultra Necrozma. Necrozma appears to have undergone Ultra Burst without the use of an [[Ultranecrozium Z]] in its match against the {{player}}.

===Gameplay===
In order to undergo Ultra Burst, Necrozma needs to be in either its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}} or {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} form and hold an [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Once the conditions are met, the player can select the Ultra Burst button on the [[move]] selection screen in battle in order to activate the transformation. This button appears in the same place as the [[Z-Move]] and [[Mega Evolution]] buttons would. After at least one turn has passed since Ultra Burst was used, Ultra Necrozma may use its [[Signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, provided it knows the move {{m|Photon Geyser}}.

Ultra Burst may only be activated once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma holding Ultranecrozium Z. If Ultra Necrozma [[Fainting|faints]] in battle, it will revert to its prior form and cannot activate Ultra Burst again for the rest of the [[battle]], even if it is revived.

Ultra Burst, as in the act of becoming Ultra Necrozma, is not featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Necrozma is described as changing form and even absorbing another Legendary Pokémon.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/LATEST-EXPANSION-OF-THE-POKEMON-TRADING-CARD-GAME-SUN-MOONFORBIDDEN-LI press release]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/sun-moon-forbidden-light Pokémon.com Overview]</ref> In the game proper, however, Ultra Necrozma cards are {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} with no special rules relating to the concept of Ultra Burst.

Ultra Burst is the {{TCG|Ability}} of [[Ultra Necrozma (Cosmic Eclipse 164)]], which does reflect a mid-battle form change by preventing it from {{TCG|attack|attacking}} until the opponent has two or fewer {{TCG|Prize card}}s remaining. This generally reflects a "late in the game" timeframe.

Shining Burst, the attack of [[Ultra Necrozma (SM Promo 165)]], may be related to Ultra Burst.

[[File:XurkitreeSMPromo116.jpg|thumb|200px|right|An example of an Ultra Beast Pokémon]]
'''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a type of {{TCG|Pokémon}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They were introduced in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion and include all classified [[Ultra Beast]]s from the [[core series]] plus {{p|Necrozma}}'s alternate forms ({{fd|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings and Ultra Necrozma}}). Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards.

Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player and/or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an Ultra Beast [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other Pokémon-GX cards. Non-{{TCG|TAG TEAM}} regular Ultra Beast GX prints have an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in the background. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series games.

==Trivia==
* Every Ultra Beast's first appearance as a {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} card includes a GX attack named after the Ultra Beast's code name in the games (eg. Nihilego is codenamed "UB-01 Symbiont", and the card {{TCG ID|Crimson Invasion|Nihilego-GX|49}} has the GX attack "Symbiont-GX".
* All Ultra Beast’s GX Attacks interact with Prize Cards in some form.
