'''Nidoqueen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドクイン''' ''Nidoqueen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidorina}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}. Nidoqueen is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, serving as {{p|Nidoking}}'s [[Gender|female]] counterpart.

==Biology==
Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with distinct {{wp|reptilian}} features. Its body is encased with extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a blunt snout, narrow brown eyes, and large ears with brown insides. There is a small horn on its forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down its back. Each hand has three short claws, and each foot has two claws. Its lower jaw, lower body markings, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. It has a thick, powerful tail. Nidoqueen is a female-only species. As stated in [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]], it cannot lay {{pkmn|Egg}}s as it loses the ability to do so upon [[Evolution]].

Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places its young in the gaps between the spines on its back, which never release poison when the children are present. Nidoqueen is more adept at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's armor-like scales allow it to defend its children from any attack. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with {{a|Poison Point|the spikes on its back}} or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles, and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Being the result of an Evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild. However, they can be found in {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

===Evolution===
Nidoqueen evolves from {{p|Nidorina}} and is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}.

===Main series===
[[File:Gary Nidoqueen.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in {{aniseries|GS}}]]
====Major appearances====
Nidoqueen debuted in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', under the ownership of [[Fergus]]. She was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. She also appeared in the remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where the exact same thing happened to her. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', along with what appeared to be Nidoqueen babies, despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.

Nidoqueen made her animated series debut in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', under the ownership of [[Danny]]. She competed against [[Ash's Lapras]] in a challenge to freeze a super-heated geyser. Afterward, Nidoqueen helped Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', [[Gary Oak]] used a Nidoqueen to defend {{an|Professor Oak|his grandfather}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] from {{TRT}}. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Gary used Nidoqueen during his match against Ash in the [[Silver Conference]]. She defeated {{AP|Tauros}} and was defeated by {{AP|Snorlax}}.

In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', [[Oscar and Andi|Andi]] has a Nidoqueen, while her boyfriend Oscar has a {{p|Nidoking}}. They had a [[Double Battle]] with {{Ash}} and {{an|May}}, and due to Oscar and Andi's communication with each other, they were able to defeat Ash and May with relative ease.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded his four Nidoqueen to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nidoqueen again to attack Arceus.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Nidoqueen was at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Nidoqueen sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

Multiple Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', under the ownership of a participant in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Ash encountered a Nidoqueen in [[Xatu's Forest]]. In this episode, Nidoqueen was depicted with a blue jaw instead of a cream-colored one due to [[DP140#Errors|an error]].

In ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', [[Queenko]]'s Nidoqueen competed in the [[Anistar City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', she competed in the Master Class Pokémon Showcase in [[Gloire City]].

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Nidoqueen fell under the control of {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}}.

A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Nidoqueen PO.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', a Nidoqueen was one of the Pokémon seen in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction.

Two Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. The first one was seen during the explanation of the [[Master Ball]]'s capabilities, and the other was sent out by [[Giovanni]] to battle [[Red's Charizard]] at the [[Silph Co.]] building. She was able to defeat Charizard, allowing Giovanni to successfully retreat.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', a Nidoqueen briefly appeared under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} watching the [[Kimono Girl]]s' performance in [[Ecruteak City]].

===POKÉTOON===
A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PT03|Blossom's Dream]]'' alongside a {{p|Nidoking}}. They followed {{OBP|Blossom|POKÉTOON}} back to her village and fought some townspeople because they thought the girl had taken their son, a {{p|Nidoran♂}}. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, they allowed their son to stay with Blossom.

==In the manga==
[[File:Nido.png|thumb|200px|Nidoqueen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Red}} accidentally {{pkmn2|caught}} a Nidoqueen in ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' while attempting to catch a Nidoking.

{{adv|Giovanni}} has a Nidoqueen, as seen in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Red in ''[[PS037|Golly, Golem!]]''. She almost defeated [[Snor]] by throwing him through the wall, but was eventually beaten by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} in ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen!?]]''. She was later seen very briefly again in the [[Sevii Islands]], when Giovanni used her and his {{p|Nidoking}} to manhandle a biker whom {{adv|Deoxys}} had ambushed.

A Nidoqueen appeared in a flashback along with Nidoking while the Day-Care Couple was reminiscing about the times they had raising Pokémon in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''.

A Nidoqueen was seen in a [[Poké Ball]] at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s Laboratory in [[Cherrygrove City]] in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs."'')</ref><ref>ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'': 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs."'')</ref>
** Despite being in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}}, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the TV special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', when a [[Cloning|cloned]] Nidoqueen and a cloned {{p|Rhyhorn}} produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and ''baby Nidoqueen'' (not baby {{p|Nidoran♀}}). In addition, several of Nidoqueen's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolved form can breed.
* Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary line member whose {{Shiny}} color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Nidoqueen and its male counterpart Nidoking share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly {{type|Ground}}s.
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Nidoqueen [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

===Design variations===
[[File:Stadium031.png|thumb|200px|Nidoqueen's {{g|Stadium}} model]]
Nidoqueen is typically depicted without visible teeth. However, particularly prior to [[Generation V]], several depictions across media do show Nidoqueen with various amounts of teeth.

In particular, Nidoqueen has four teeth in its {{game|Red and Blue|s}} key artwork. In the [[core series]] games, Nidoqueen has visible teeth in its {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and [[Generation III]] [[#Sprites|sprites]]. In the [[side series]] games, Nidoqueen has four teeth in its {{g|Stadium}} model, which was reused in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{g|Battle Revolution}}. Nidoqueen has also been depicted with teeth in the {{pkmn|manga}}, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Ash & Pikachu]], and [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]. Nidoqueen's [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass]] art uniquely depicts it with twelve teeth.

===Origin===
Nidoqueen appears to share traits of {{wp|kaiju}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}es, {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, and {{wp|porcupine}}s and is most likely based on its male counterpart, Nidoking. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece {{wp|bikini}}.

====Name origin====
Nidoqueen may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|queen}}''. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

Silverlucario: The "extra spikes" on the Carddass card are, imo, contextual and not intended as the base design - it is specifically showing it using Poison Sting. It is still however relevant to the teeth vs no teeth section

'''Nidoqueen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドクイン''' ''Nidoqueen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidorina}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}. Nidoqueen is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, serving as {{p|Nidoking}}'s [[Gender|female]] counterpart.

==Biology==
Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with distinct {{wp|reptilian}} features. Its body is encased with extremely hard scales that serve as excellent protection from any attack and stand up when Nidoqueen is excited or provoked. It has a blunt snout, narrow brown eyes, and large ears with brown insides. There is a small horn on its forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down its back. Each hand has three short claws, and each foot has two claws. Its lower jaw, lower body markings, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. It has a thick, powerful tail. Nidoqueen is a female-only species. As stated in [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]], it cannot lay {{pkmn|Egg}}s as it loses the ability to do so upon [[Evolution]].

Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places its young in the gaps between the spines on its back, which never release poison when the children are present. Nidoqueen is more adept at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's armor-like scales allow it to defend its children from any attack. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with {{a|Poison Point|the spikes on its back}} or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles, and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Being the result of an Evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild. However, they can be found in {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

===Evolution===
Nidoqueen evolves from {{p|Nidorina}} and is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===Main series===
[[File:Gary Nidoqueen.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in {{aniseries|GS}}]]
====Major appearances====
Nidoqueen debuted in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', under the ownership of [[Fergus]]. She was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. She also appeared in the remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where the exact same thing happened to her. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', along with what appeared to be Nidoqueen babies, despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.

Nidoqueen made her animated series debut in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', under the ownership of [[Danny]]. She competed against [[Ash's Lapras]] in a challenge to freeze a super-heated geyser. Afterward, Nidoqueen helped Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', [[Gary Oak]] used a Nidoqueen to defend {{an|Professor Oak|his grandfather}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] from {{TRT}}. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Gary used Nidoqueen during his match against Ash in the [[Silver Conference]]. She defeated {{AP|Tauros}} and was defeated by {{AP|Snorlax}}.

In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', [[Oscar and Andi|Andi]] has a Nidoqueen, while her boyfriend Oscar has a {{p|Nidoking}}. They had a [[Double Battle]] with {{Ash}} and {{an|May}}, and due to Oscar and Andi's communication with each other, they were able to defeat Ash and May with relative ease.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded his four Nidoqueen to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Nidoqueen again to attack Arceus.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Nidoqueen was at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Nidoqueen sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

Multiple Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', under the ownership of a participant in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Ash encountered a Nidoqueen in [[Xatu's Forest]]. In this episode, Nidoqueen was depicted with a blue jaw instead of a cream-colored one due to [[DP140#Errors|an error]].

In ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', [[Queenko]]'s Nidoqueen competed in the [[Anistar City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', she competed in the Master Class Pokémon Showcase in [[Gloire City]].

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Nidoqueen fell under the control of {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}}.

A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Nidoqueen PO.png|thumb|250px|Nidoqueen in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', a Nidoqueen was one of the Pokémon seen in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction.

Two Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. The first one was seen during the explanation of the [[Master Ball]]'s capabilities, and the other was sent out by [[Giovanni]] to battle [[Red's Charizard]] at the [[Silph Co.]] building. She was able to defeat Charizard, allowing Giovanni to successfully retreat.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', a Nidoqueen briefly appeared under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} watching the [[Kimono Girl]]s' performance in [[Ecruteak City]].

===POKÉTOON===
A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PT03|Blossom's Dream]]'' alongside a {{p|Nidoking}}. They followed {{OBP|Blossom|POKÉTOON}} back to her village and fought some townspeople because they thought the girl had taken their son, a {{p|Nidoran♂}}. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, they allowed their son to stay with Blossom.

{{adv|Red}} accidentally {{pkmn2|caught}} a Nidoqueen in ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' while attempting to catch a Nidoking.

{{adv|Giovanni}} has a Nidoqueen, as seen in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Red in ''[[PS037|Golly, Golem!]]''. She almost defeated [[Snor]] by throwing him through the wall, but was eventually beaten by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} in ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen!?]]''. She was later seen very briefly again in the [[Sevii Islands]], when Giovanni used her and his {{p|Nidoking}} to manhandle a biker whom {{adv|Deoxys}} had ambushed.

A Nidoqueen appeared in a flashback along with Nidoking while the Day-Care Couple was reminiscing about the times they had raising Pokémon in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''.

A Nidoqueen was seen in a [[Poké Ball]] at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s Laboratory in [[Cherrygrove City]] in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

{{adv|Green}} had a Nidoran♀ that later evolved into a {{p|Nidorina}}. In ''[[PS288|Give It Your Best, Blastoise]]'', she evolved into Nidoqueen to provide support for [[Blasty]]'s {{m|Hydro Cannon}} alongside her {{p|Granbull}} and [[Jiggly]].

A Nidoqueen appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs."'')</ref><ref>ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'': 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 (''"It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs."'')</ref>
** Despite being in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}}, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the TV special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', when a [[Cloning|cloned]] Nidoqueen and a cloned {{p|Rhyhorn}} produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and ''baby Nidoqueen'' (not baby {{p|Nidoran♀}}). In addition, several of Nidoqueen's Pokédex entries imply it's still capable of childrearing.
* Nidorina and Nidoqueen are the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolved form can breed.
* Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary line member whose {{Shiny}} color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Nidoqueen and its male counterpart Nidoking share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. Additionally, all four are partly {{type|Ground}}s.
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Nidoqueen [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

===Design variations===
[[File:Stadium031.png|thumb|200px|Nidoqueen's {{g|Stadium}} model]]
Nidoqueen is typically depicted without visible teeth. However, particularly prior to [[Generation V]], several depictions across media do show Nidoqueen with various amounts of teeth.

In particular, Nidoqueen has four teeth in its {{game|Red and Blue|s}} key artwork. In the [[core series]] games, Nidoqueen has visible teeth in its {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and [[Generation III]] [[#Sprites|sprites]]. In the [[side series]] games, Nidoqueen has four teeth in its {{g|Stadium}} model, which was reused in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{g|Battle Revolution}}. Nidoqueen has also been depicted with teeth in the {{pkmn|manga}}, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Ash & Pikachu]], and [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]. Nidoqueen's [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass]] art uniquely depicts it with six teeth.

===Origin===
Nidoqueen appears to share traits of {{wp|kaiju}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}es, {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, and {{wp|porcupine}}s and is most likely based on its male counterpart, Nidoking. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece {{wp|bikini}}.

====Name origin====
Nidoqueen may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|queen}}''. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice).

'''Kyogre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kyogre'') is a {{type|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Kyogre''' if it holds the [[Blue Orb]].

Along with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Kyogre is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Kyogre is sought by [[Team Aqua]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's waters.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Kyogre.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kyogre encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Kyogre is a massive, {{wp|whale}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. Kyogre has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. It has a short, pointed tail. Near the tail are two small back fins tattered with four trailing parts, with the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Kyogre is believed to be the personification of the sea itself, and is described in in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as the "maker of oceans" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s oceans and expanded them by generating heavy tidal waves. It is also capable of {{a|Drizzle|summoning intense rainstorms}} to cloak the world's entire sky and weaken {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for quenching areas of the world plagued with droughts. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], it is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. Kyogre can fly when there is no water for it to swim in. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Groudon}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|Rayquaza}}. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Kyogre within [[Seafloor Cavern]],<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any [[human]] or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> where it has since slumbered in the marine trench. During its sleep, Kyogre's body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}}. Kyogre loves [[Kyogre Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen with [[Hyperspace Primordial Sea]], Kyogre's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Kyogre is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Origin Pulse}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drizzle}} was its [[signature Ability]].

===Forms===
Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Kyogre. It retains its general body structure, but it grows larger and its main skin color becomes a darker shade of blue. The red markings along its body become light blue, and its eyes glow yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. The markings on its pectoral fins slightly change to form {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbols, which connect to its outer nails with red markings connecting the inner nails. Every part of its skin that was originally white becomes clear and translucent, with the large ovals on its head now connected to clear markings stretching from its tail to its forehead, where another {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbol is formed. The trailing parts of its tail grow longer and gain translucent webbing, and the areas between its pectoral fin markings also become clear. The translucent parts of its body reveal organ-like structures that glow with a mysterious light; it has a large "organ" at the center of its body, two smaller ones aligned with the large oval markings, and two more located in its pectoral fins.

Primal Kyogre is said to be Kyogre's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it spills forth as seawater, which its body composition is nearly identical to, while its skin glows similarly to that of sapphire.<ref name="Mega">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062721/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre archived])</ref> Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatened to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue The Legends of Hoenn Continue | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue archived])</ref> Research conducted by the [[Weather Institute]] reveals that Primal Kyogre can annihilate all life before resetting the planet.<ref>[[Maxie]]: ''"The "beginning" that Primal Kyogre brings about... The way that it resets the world... It starts by driving every living thing on this planet to death first! This path leads only to an inescapable despair that cannot be withstood. That is all you have brought us. This is what comes of the madness of thinking that you could ever control the super-ancient Pokémon's power!'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the Cave of Origin, or the Blue Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Kyogre can summon storms which drastically raise the sea level and outright {{a|Primordial Sea|nullify}} Fire-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY049|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to have widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim.

Primal Kyogre is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Primordial Sea}} as an [[Ability]].

===Form data===
====Primal Kyogre====
Primal Kyogre is an additional form for Kyogre that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Kyogre is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Blue Orb]], it will change into Primal Kyogre; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Kyogre is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Kyogre is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Kyogre inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Kyogre made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have [[Red Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Kyogre was awakened by the presence of the [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it was shown in its [[Primal Reversion|primal state]], fighting with Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} over the Giant Rock.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Kyogre was among countless other {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that arrived at [[Samiya]] when [[Ash Ketchum]] replaced all of the [[Sea Crown]]'s crystals. However, when [[the Phantom]] attempted to make all the Water-types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre was part of the ensuing commotion. {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} calmed them down using {{m|Heart Swap}} to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some {{p|Wailord}} broke open the Phantom's ship, followed by some {{p|Chinchou}} swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the ship, destroying it.

In the beginning scene of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Kyogre was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Kyogre was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Kyogre and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Kyogre departed for its home.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', a Kyogre had been {{status|poison}}ed and was being pursued by [[Hunter D]] and [[Hunter D's crew members|his crew members]]. However, {{an|Lana}} was able to feed it some bait laced with [[Antidote]], restoring its health and allowing it to defeat the hunter. However, Kyogre was still enraged because of the hunters' actions, forcing Lana to reel it in with her [[fishing|fishing rod]] and have her newly evolved {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} sing to it in order to calm it down. After Lana calmed Kyogre down, it thanked her for restoring its health and calming it down before leaving peacefully.

====Minor appearances====
Kyogre debuted in the opening sequence of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it was seen swimming across the ocean near the seabed.

Kyogre made its animated series debut in a fantasy in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

A Kyogre appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Kyogre jumped out of the ocean and dove back in.

===={{sbw|Trophy}} information====
''"A Sea Basin Pokémon. It brought down heavy rains, which formed seas and relieved droughts. It is usually found slumbering at the bottom of an ocean trench. Its attack {{m|Sheer Cold}} is a technique so powerful, it causes any opponent it strikes to [[one-hit knockout move|faint instantly]]. In {{pkmn|battle}}, it {{a|Drizzle|causes clouds to form and drenches the area in rain}}. It once had a fierce battle with {{p|Groudon}}."''

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} roughly resembles an orca whale, though its large fins also look a bit like hands. Be wary of its Hydro Pump attack, which is capable of sending you flying off the stage. Even worse, it will chase after you, making it even harder to recover from the attack.''

'''PAL''': ''This orca-like Water-type Pokémon is known for the distinctive shape of its fins and the red markings along its body. It will use Hydro Pump to send fighters flying off the stage, and then proceed to chase after them to make recovering from the attack a nightmare.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Kyogre returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It, along with Primal Kyogre, also appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Marina.png|thumb|175px|{{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}}'s Kyogre costume]]
* Kyogre's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats are the reverse of Groudon's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Kyogre had a catch rate of 5.
* [[Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
* [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}} has a [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] based on Kyogre.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Surf}} will allow the {{player}} to surf more quickly than with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (except for {{p|Sharpedo}}). This action has its own animation and larger hitbox.
** Additionally, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Dive}} will allow the player to avoid underwater battles with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. This action also has its own animation and a larger hitbox.

===Origin===
Kyogre may be a personification of the Earth's oceans. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|cetacean}}s, primarily {{wp|toothed whale}}s. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions.

The patterns on Kyogre and Primal Kyogre's fins appear similar to the first letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|alpha}}, which might signify the origin of life, believed to have started in the oceans. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Groudon}}'s {{wp|omega}}.

====Name origin====
Kyogre is a combination of 海 ''kai'' (sea) or 海王 ''kaiō'' (king of the sea) and ''{{wp|ogre}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSpN7TDmmm4 Interview] with [[Nob Ogasawara]] by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|orca}}'' (killer whale).

Selphy

2026-03-05T16:07:47Z

Silverlucario: More accurate to what happens in-game

'''Lady Selphy''' (Japanese: '''アキホ''' ''Akiho'') is a {{tc|Lady|rich girl}} who debuted in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. She offers expensive items in exchange for showing her Pokémon registered in the player's Pokédex within a limited period of time.

==In the games==
Selphy lives in a house in [[Resort Gorgeous]]. However, her house is empty when the {{player}} first arrives, and the player needs to find her in [[Lost Cave]] before doing anything else. After finding her, she will fight the player with her two {{p|Persian}}.

After her defeat, she returns to her house, where she and her butler '''Sebastian''' (Japanese: '''セバスチャン''' ''Sebastian'') live. After that, she will ask the player to show her a specific species of Pokémon. If the player does, she summons Sebastian, who gives an expensive item. However, if the player takes more than 250 steps before showing her the Pokémon, she will be disappointed and ask for a new Pokémon to see. She can ask for any Pokémon registered as seen or caught in the player's [[Pokédex]].

'''Abra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケーシィ''' ''Casey'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kadabra}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Abra is a bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, {{wp|pauldron}}-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, {{wp|fauld}}-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers are considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.

Abra can sense danger through a telepathic radar. When it does, it teleports to a safe location. However, it sometimes becomes panicked if it wakes in an unknown location. By hypnotizing itself, Abra is able to teleport itself even while sleeping. It can use other extrasensory abilities while sleeping as well and can even teleport into the treetops to pick and eat {{Berries}}. The deeper Abra sleeps, the farther it teleports. Due to the strain of its telepathic powers, however, Abra sleeps 18 hours each day. If it fails to rest long enough, it will become unable to use its powers. The contents in Abra's dream can affect its powers. Abra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has been observed to teleport to a different location once per hour. If it teleports randomly, it can create illusory copies.

===Evolution===
Abra evolves into {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves into {{p|Alakazam}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Abra|7}}

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Abra was originally known as "Hocus".
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Abra is seen floating. Despite this, it is still considered a grounded Pokémon and can activate ground traps such as the Cog Wheel in [[Valora]].
* Of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, Abra has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} and is tied with {{p|Smoochum}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}}.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a wild Abra will {{m|Teleport}} away if the {{player}} tries to approach it from the front.
* Abra has the highest [[List of Pokémon by catch rate in Pokémon GO|flee rate]] in [[Pokémon GO]] at 99%, meaning it is almost guaranteed to run away after breaking out of a [[Poké Ball]]. This is an homage to the core series, where it will use Teleport to escape on the first turn.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], wild Abra will always drop a [[Max Ether]] when defeated.

===Origin===
Abra may be based on a {{wp|mystic}} or {{wp|psychic}}. It also has similarities to {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Given the rat-like tail of its early sprites and the fact that it sleeps 18 hours a day, Abra could also draw inspiration from {{wp|opossum}}s. Its segmented body parts and animations in some games such as [[Pokémon Stadium]] are similar to those of {{wp|marionette}} puppets.

====Name origin====
Abra may be derived from ''{{wp|abracadabra}}'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}.

Casey may be named after ''{{wp|Edgar Cayce}}'', a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances.

==Plot==
Arriving at a train station to find [[Roy]], [[Ult]] finds him with the help of a passerby. To Ult's shock, Roy is not alone, as he spots him with an unknown girl. Meanwhile, [[Liko]] and Roy, unaware of Ult nearby, contact [[Dot]] for more information about the next [[Laquium]] sighting before heading to the site of the next Laquium sighting to begin their investigation. Once there, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} search from the sky as Liko, Roy, and their remaining Pokémon search on the ground. Stopping for a brief moment, Liko reminisces the [[Tera Training]] they went through the year before as Dot wonders about [[Pagogo]]. Liko sadly informs Dot it hasn't left its {{i|Poké Ball}} since leaving [[Laqua]] but cheers up when Dot points out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s ease with Pagogo's Poké Ball. Just then, Roy spots some Pokémon running away and he, [[Captain Pikachu]], and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} go in the opposite direction to find the terrain filled with holes. Cap feels someone watching them, and when he turns around, misses Ult and {{p|Sableye}}, who fall into one of the holes. Above ground, Liko and Roy investigate the holes and find more pink mist, which Dot reveals they have been calling such proof as "Laquium Signs". Below ground, after falling down a hole, Ult moves further into the tunnel, only to find a {{p|Steelix}} acting just like the {{p|Slaking}} [[HZ090|he encountered before]]. The {{pkmn|category|Iron Snake Pokémon}} notices Ult and suddenly bursts through the ground above. Liko, Roy, and Dot are surprised by Steelix and make a quick retreat when it suddenly attacks them.

Forced to battle, the two quickly find out physical attacks are not as effective due to Steelix's high Defense and that they have difficulty pinning it down thanks to the holes it made. As such, Dot has Roy send Crocalor and Kilowattrel to attack from the sky while Lucario and {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} try to make an opening for Crocalor. With Lucario's [[Aura]], it points Meowscarada to the hole where Steelix is likely to appear and she manages to hold it down when it appears. Spotting Crocalor getting ready to attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}, Steelix counters with an attack of its own, only for Hattrem and Cap to stop the attack. Meowscarada loses her grip on Steelix as the latter retreats into the hole once more. Roy forces Steelix to come out of hiding by having the two Pokémon in the sky use {{m|Uproar}} and {{m|Disarming Voice}} into the same hole it retreated into earlier. Once it comes out, Crocalor tries to use Flamethrower again but a sneak attack from the side sends Crocalor and Kilowattrel to the ground as another Laquium-infected Steelix reveals itself, surprising the group.

Using {{m|Sand Tomb}} to attack Crocalor and Kilowattrel, Liko, Roy, and Dot are further shocked by the power of Steelix's attack, attributing the cause to be the Laquium. As Cap goes to save the two Pokémon trapped in Sand Tomb, Meowscarada and Lucario are targeted by Steelix. Before one of them could successfully attack Meowscarada, she is saved by Sableye, with Ult appearing from a hole, to Roy's surprise. Ult notes the severity of the situation before he and Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sableye and Lucario, respectively. The two Mega Pokémon land successive attacks on each Steelix before the two appear to be cornered. At the last second, they dodge the upcoming attack from both Steelix, causing both Laquium-infected Pokémon to hit Sableye's gem. Cap comes up with Crocalor and Kilowattrel and Roy has Crocalor use Flamethrower, this time successfully landing the attack.

Unfortunately, when the smoke clears, both Steelix are attacking each other, unable to tell each other from friend or foe due to the Laquium. [[HZ089|Recalling what happened]] on Laqua, Liko desperately tries to stop them from fighting, but when attacks from both Steelix nearly hit her and her Pokémon, the three are saved by a protective barrier put up by Pagogo, who awakens from its Poké Ball. Pagogo then {{a|Tera Shift|transforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to purify both Steelix of the Laquium before Hattrem heals them with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Roy and Dot are relieved to see Pagogo awake while Liko happily greets Pagogo. Roy then introduces Ult to Liko, who thanks him for saving Meowscarada earlier. After stopping Sableye from eating Pagogo, Liko asks Roy and Ult about Mega Evolution, which Nidothing explains in a video. Ult chastises Roy for abandoning him in the forest but Roy realizes Ult had been following him, which he denies before declaring the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his. Roy drags Liko away during Ult's monologue, not desiring to bring him along their journey, to Ult's frustration at being left behind once more.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Hamber]] meets with [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]]. The two agents lament their inability to protect their boss, who is now missing, and are prepared to take accountability for their actions. To their surprise, Hamber does not reprimand them. Hamber reveals to the two that after the events in Laqua, [[Spinel]] made a report claiming that [[Amethio]] had betrayed [[Gibeon]] and that he had also perished, but neither him nor his father [[Cervantis]] believed the report. He then takes out a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the lone [[Zygarde Cell]], demonstrating how the cube works. Hamber assigns them a new task - to find the rest of the [[White Zygarde]] and Amethio without letting Spinel know what they were up to before it's too late.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]] meets [[Ult]] and witnesses [[Mega Evolution]] for the first time.
* [[Pagogo]] awakens from its slumber.
* [[Hamber]] gives a [[Zygarde Cube]] to [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] and assigns them to find [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] and [[Amethio]], who has gone missing.

'''Solrock''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソルロック''' ''Solrock'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Lunatone}}.

==Biology==
Solrock is a primarily orange, spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has eight yellow, rocky spines extending from the sides of its body; and multiple small, yellow stony bumps running vertically along its center. On its back are dual rocky mounds, situated to the sides of the mid-line. Its large eyes consist of thick, semicircular yellow eyelids through which black sclerae and red pupils can be seen. A black ring with six extensions surrounds each eye.

Solrock relies on solar energy, which it absorbs in groups during daylight. While it is always expressionless, it is able to sense the emotions and thoughts of others. It spins its body to produce intense heat and a blinding light. It is able to stay silent while floating in the air and can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It is believed Solrock originated from space, specifically the sun.

==Trivia==
* Solrock shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its counterpart {{p|Lunatone}}. They are both known as the Meteorite Pokémon.
* Solrock and Lunatone have nearly identical base [[Statistic|stats]], with only the physical and special stats switched.

===Origin===
Solrock seems to be based on the {{wp|Sun}}, as well as a {{wp|meteorite}}. Its squinted eyes may allude to the difficulty of looking directly at the Sun. They also resemble the slits in traditional sunlight-blocking {{wp|snow goggles}}. Solrock's shiny coloration might be a reference to {{wp|red dwarf}} stars.

====Name origin====
Solrock is a combination of ''solar'' and ''rock''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archived on Internet Archive])</ref>

'''Kricketune''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロトック''' ''Korotock'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Kricketot}} starting at [[level]] 10.

==Biology==
Kricketune is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an insectoid appearance. Primarily red, there are three black, oval markings on its abdomen, a tan streak running down its neck to its belly, and a tan underside with a small, dark red marking above it. It has oval, gray eyes, and a dark red, round nose. Black feelers with curled tips extend from either side of its nose, similar in appearance to a mustache. The male's feelers are longer than a female's. On top of its head are two antennae with conical bases, spherical centers, and long, thin tips. Kricketune has two small feet and a pair of black wings.

This Pokémon's arms are shaped similar to its antennae and are crossed over its chest when it cries. By rubbing its arms together, Kricketune can produce sounds and improvise melodies. It can also allow its cry to resonate in its belly. Kricketune's melodies vary greatly between individuals, and can be used to signal its emotions. Scientists have been observing the melodic patterns of Kricketune for studies. In one village, Kricketune are used in a contest based on the different sounds it makes.

===Evolution===
Kricketune evolves from {{p|Kricketot}}

===Major appearances===
====[[Nando's Kricketune]]====
[[Nando]] owns a Kricketune, which debuted in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. It was used in both [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, having helped Nando enter the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] and the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Minor appearances===
Kricketune debuted in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} participating in the {{to|Floaroma}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. It reappeared briefly in [[DP027|the next episode]], where it was seen competing in the Contest.

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', a Kricketot was living in [[Crown City]]. It worked together with the other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} to attack him, angry for what {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} did to the city. Before a fight could break out, the Kricketune, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}.

In ''[[JN033|Trade, Borrow, and Steal!]]'', a Kricketune was part of [[Kricketina Kylie]]'s Bug-type Pokémon collection, as shown in her [[Rotom Phone]].

A Kricketune appeared in ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Since [[Generation VII]], Kricketune has had the lowest [[base stat total]] of any fully evolved Pokémon with stats that are calculated through the traditional formula — {{p|Shedinja}} has a much lower base stat total, but this is due to its base HP of 1, which is not used in the calculation of its HP.

===Origin===
Kricketune appears to be based on a {{wp|Cricket (insect)|cricket}}, which is widely known for its loud chirping songs used to attract females. Crickets use a form of {{wp|stridulation}} to create noise, which they do by striking their forewings together, but this is often mistakenly believed to be done by rubbing their legs against their body, as Kricketune does. It also resembles a {{wp|violin beetle}}, with an abdomen assuming the appearance of an actual violin or similar {{wp|String instrument|stringed instruments}}, and arms that function similarly to a {{wp|Bow (music)|bow}}. The spheres midway through its antennae resemble those of the ''{{wp|Compsocerus violaceus}}'', a species of beetle found in Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, whose popular names similarly reference stringed instruments: "''besouro viola''" (viola beetle) in Brazil, and "''guitarrero''" (guitarist) in Spanish-speaking regions.

Kricketune additionally resembles a typical depiction of a music conductor or ''maestro'', due to its mustache, wings that look like a cape, and baton-like forelimbs.

====Name origin====
Kricketune may be a combination of ''cricket'' and ''tune''.

Korotock may be a combination of 蟋蟀 ''koorogi'' (cricket) and ''tock'' (onomatopoeia of a ticking clock or {{wp|metronome}}).

'''Greedent''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨクバリス''' ''Yokubarisu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Skwovet}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:Greedent Pokécology.png|thumb|left|200px|Greedent gathers so many Berries in its tail that they spill over]]
Greedent is a bipedal, squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan and brown plump body, a buck tooth, orange nose, stumpy limbs, and a huge tail twice as long as its body. It has a darker brown area on its cheeks that can also be found on its chest, the underside of its tail, and the tips of its ears. Its fur is fluffy and messy. It also has orange freckles on its big cheeks and orange inside of its ears. Its eyes are a black oval-shape with white pupils, with a ring of light brown fur surrounding them.

True to its name, Greedent is extremely greedy and gluttonous. Greedent constantly gathers {{Berries}} and stuffs them into its tail; it will run to gather Berries even if it's in the middle of a battle. It stuffs its tail with so many Berries that they fall out constantly, especially when it is hit or [[Fainting|faints]]. It may also stash {{p|Bounsweet}} in its tail, as it considers the latter's sweet scent to be attractive. Dimwitted, Greedent will not often notice the loss of the food they store. Its sharp teeth are strong enough to gnaw through the strongest of Berry shells.

Greedent and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Skwovet}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stuff Cheeks}} by leveling up.

===Evolution===
Greedent evolves from {{p|Skwovet}}.

==Trivia==
* When Greedent is damaged in the games, a [[Leppa Berry]] falls out of its tail.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Greedent was unable to learn {{m|Trailblaze}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.

===Origin===
Greedent may be based on the {{wp|Red squirrel|Eurasian red squirrel}}, a species of squirrel that is endangered in {{wp|Great Britain}}. Their dimwitted nature compared to Skwovet may reference the fact that grey squirrels are more intelligent than red squirrels in real life.

====Name origin====
Greedent may be a combination of ''greed'' and ''rodent''.

Yokubarisu may be a combination of 欲張り ''yokubari'' (greed), 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel), and ''avarice'' (a synonym for greed).

'''Regirock''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジロック''' ''Regirock'') is a {{type|Rock}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Regirock is a large golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made of brown and orange rocks. It has a pattern of seven orange dots on its face that resembles a capital letter "H". It has long arms with jutting shoulders and club-like hands without fingers. There is a line of orange rocky spines running down its back, and its legs are short in comparison to its body.

According to legend, Regirock was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using rocks. It used to be worshipped by [[Human|humans]], however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away. In [[Hoenn]], it was sealed in the [[Desert Ruins]]; in [[Sinnoh]], it was sealed in the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Sinnoh)|Rock Peak Ruins]]; and in [[Galar]], it was sealed in the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]]. When it gets damaged in battle, it will search for new rocks to repair itself. Because of this, the rocks it is made of come from several different places around the world, which contributes to Regirock's patchwork appearance. Recently, cutting-edge technology has found that Regirock is entirely made of stone and rock; not even a heart or a brain was found.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Regirock M08.png|thumb|250px|Regirock in {{aniseries|AG}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock|Regirock (M08)}}=====
Regirock debuted alongside the other members of its [[Legendary giants|trio]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is a guardian of the [[Tree of Beginning]], and it was the first to attack perceived intruders {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. In the end, Regirock and the other guardians realized they were not a danger and kept on with protecting the Tree of Beginning.

====={{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regirock|Brandon's Regirock}}=====
Regirock made its animated series debut in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Brandon}}. He used his Regirock to battle Ash when he was being possessed by the [[King of Pokélantis]], and it was able to defeat {{AP|Sceptile}}. It reappeared in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', and was brought to [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

=====Other=====
A Regirock appeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', where it was confronted by [[Danika]] and [[Quillon]]. In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', it was revealed to have been successfully {{pkmn2|caught}} by them.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Regirock, Regice, and Registeel fired {{m|Hyper Beam}}s that combined into one.

In [[PK18]], a Regirock sent {{MTR}} and his cronies blasting off after they tried to move it out of their way.

A Regirock appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====

===GOTCHA!===
A Regirock briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Brandon Regirock Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Regirock in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Brandon's Regirock}}
Regirock debuted in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', when [[Sidney]] attempted to open the [[Desert Ruins]]. Together, {{Steven}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} created a team consisting of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Relly|Relicanth}} and {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Regirock, as well as the other two [[Legendary giants|giants]], {{p|Registeel}} and {{p|Regice}}. Regirock used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two giants—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by [[Brandon]] shortly before the opening ceremony of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Regirock was Brandon's first Pokémon during his battle with {{adv|Emerald}}, where it found {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Leech Seed}} attack to be of minor annoyance and knocked it out right away with its {{m|Explosion}} attack. However, while the Pyramid King's attention was focused on {{adv|Jirachi}}'s light coming from the horizon, Emerald was able to revitalize the fainted Sceptile with a [[Revive]] and win the battle.

In ''[[PASS36|Rrmbll!! Serious Tower Battle]]'', [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], and [[Bede]] were revealed to have caught a Regirock at the [[Crown Tundra]] during one of their expeditions as part of [[Peony]]'s expedition team.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Candice]] owns a Regirock, along with the other two [[Legendary giants]]. She uses them against [[Hareta]] to test his worthiness to challenge {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the international versions of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is an unobtainable Regirock Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive ''Regi-Dolls Decoration set'' [[e-Reader]] card.
* Regirock's in-game footprint resembles a ''{{wp|Scarabaeus sacer}}'', a real-life insect that was considered sacred by {{wp|ancient Egypt}}ians.
* Regirock's base Attack and Special Attack, as well as Defense and Special Defense, are reverse of Regice's.
* Regirock is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have been featured as a [[caught Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===Origin===
Regirock may be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regirock's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter the [[legendary giants]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]].

The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regirock representing the {{wp|Stone Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regirock may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''rock''.

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Biology==
Meganium is a quadrupedal, pale-green {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck; yellow eyes; a short, blunt snout; and two {{wp|stamen}}-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling Meganium's neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.

Meganium's petals release an aroma that calms aggressive feelings and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its soothing, regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tends to be very docile and is portrayed as a peacemaker in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out!]]''. It can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, many Pokémon tend to sleep peacefully side-by-side with Meganium.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The reason is fragrance given off by Meganium's flower sooths and calms emotions of any Pokémon fighting near it.

===Evolution===
Meganium evolves from {{p|Bayleef}} and is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

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

==Trivia==
* Meganium's evolutionary line are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. This is due to them having nearly identical names in English and Japanese (with Meganium even being spelled identically to its official Japanese romanization).
* Meganium's design has slightly changed over the years. Its original design in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} had orange petals, round green inner petals, and florets around the base of the neck. In {{v|Crystal}}, Meganium's flower was changed to be closer to the modern design, save for a pair of stripes on each petal. These stripes would remain until their removal in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Meganium has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, particularly an ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid {{wp|daylily}} with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the ''{{wp|Amorphophallus titanum|titan arum}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|pelargonium|geraniums}}, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by ''{{wp|Aachenosaurus}}'', an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur. Its proportions and face resemble those of the herbivorous {{wp|Galápagos tortoises}}, with its neck flower resembling the way their shells open at the front.

The antennae on Meganium's head seem to be holdovers from Hanamogura (ハナモグラ), a prototype design for {{p|Bayleef}} found in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

====Name origin====
Meganium may be a combination of ''mega'' and ''{{wp|geranium}}''.

'''Gothitelle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチルゼル''' ''Gothiruselle'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 41. It is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gothitelle legs.png|thumb|left|250px|Gothitelle's legs seen from below]]
Gothitelle is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily black body. Its head is teardrop-shaped, with a white, bow-like fixture attached to the base of its tip. The black skin on Gothitelle's head opens onto its purple face with a zigzag pattern resembling bangs. Gothitelle has large, heavy-lidded eyes with blue irises and white pupils, as well as a small mouth with red lips. Four flat, black disks flank each side of its head. Gothitelle's body is split into four progressively-larger tiers, with its head and arms being attached to the smallest, uppermost tier and with a pair of stubby pink feet being under them. Its arms are thin, ending in small, purple hands with white disks at the wrists. Each tier of Gothitelle's body has a white, bow-like fixture on its front.

Gothitelle's immense psychic power can distort the space around it, showing visions of distant stars and [[BW021|past events]], but it dislikes conflict. It can predict the future from the placement and movement of stars and weeps when it discovers the lifespan of its Trainer. It has a detached nature due to seeing how all life will eventually end. A criminal that a Gothitelle had shown his fate to went missing that same day and was never seen again. The visions Gothitelle shares are said to be apparently ethereal and beautiful.

===Evolution===
Gothitelle evolves from {{p|Gothorita}} and is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

==Trivia==
* Gothitelle can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Reuniclus}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon that are the final stage of a three-stage evolutionary line with first evolution at level 32 and second at level 41. Gothitelle is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Reuniclus is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels, and have base stat totals of 490.

===Origin===
Gothitelle appears to be based on a stylized depiction of a woman wearing {{wp|Gothic fashion|Gothic}}-style clothing, as well as the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}craft. Goth styles themselves are often borrowed from the {{wp|punk fashion}} and can also draw influence from {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian}} and {{wp|1550–1600 in European fashion|Elizabethan fashion}} periods of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. It also bears some resemblance to the {{Wp|Flatwoods monster}}, a cryptid that gained popularity in Japan.

Due to Gothitelle's ability to predict the future from stars, it may be based on {{wp|Divination|diviners}}, or more specifically {{wp|Astrology|astrologers}}. Gothitelle learning its Trainer's life span likely references similar popular predictions given by {{wp|fortune-telling|fortune teller}}s. Due to their feminine appearance and association with the stars, Gothitelle and its pre-evolutions may also be inspired by the {{wp|Virgo (Astrology)|Virgo sign}} and {{wp|Virgo (constellation)|constellation}}. This is further supported by {{p|Gothorita}} being the Virgo equivalent in Unova's [[Horoscope]].

====Name origin====
Gothitelle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss''), ''foretell'', or ''stelle'' (Italian for ''stars'').

Gothiruselle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss'').

'''Swoobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ココロモリ''' ''Kokoromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Woobat}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

==Biology==
[[File:Swoobat sleeping anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Swoobat hanging from its tail while sleeping]]
Swoobat is a blue, bat-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has fused, pointed ears with striated, lighter-colored insides and a pink, heart-shaped snout with a single nostril. Two wide, rounded teeth are visible in its lower jaw. A mane of shaggy, light blue fur surrounds its neck. Its black wings have a claw at the joint, and its small black feet have three toes each. It has a bare, pink tail that is twisted with two short prongs at the tip.

Swoobat's nose can produce many different ultrasonic waves. Its nose is also considered to be a symbol of good luck in certain regions. When Swoobat shakes its tail vigorously, it produces sound waves powerful enough to destroy concrete. A male Swoobat produces waves during courtship that uplifts anyone who hears it. However, emitting these powerful sound waves can leave Swoobat exhausted, rendering it unable to fly for a short period of time. In the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]'', Swoobat is shown to hang from its tail as it sleeps.

===Evolution===
Swoobat evolves from {{p|Woobat}}.

==Trivia==
* Swoobat's evolutionary line has several similarities with {{p|Crobat}}'s. All of the members of both lines are based on bats and reach their respective final evolved form by [[friendship]].

===Origin===
Swoobat appears to based on a {{wp|Leaf-nosed bat|New World leaf-nosed bat}}, though its fur makes it resemble in particular a {{wp|Honduran white bat}}. Sunlight filters through the leaves these bats sleep on and makes their white fur appear green during the day, which mirrors Swoobat's {{Shiny}} form.

It may be a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. It also resembles a {{wp|horseshoe bat}}. Swoobat's nose resembles a rubber stamp, befitting its signature move, {{m|Heart Stamp}}. Its prominent fangs may be inspired by {{wp|vampire bats}}.

====Name origin====
Swoobat may be a combination of ''swoon'' or ''swoop'' and ''bat''. Its English name containing the English name of its pre-evolved form ({{p|Woobat}}) mirrors how its Japanese name (Kokoromori) contains the Japanese name of its pre-evolved form (Koromori).

Kokoromori may be a combination of 心 ''kokoro'' (heart) and 蝙蝠 ''kōmori'' (bat).

'''Porygon2''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン２''' ''Porygon2'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding an [[Upgrade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Blue Porygon2 inside computer.png|thumb|150px|left|Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, [[artificial Pokémon|artificial]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shows similarities to a {{wp|drinking bird}}. It has a relatively flat bill and large, round eyes. Its legs are simple ovoid growths along its sides, and its tail widens towards the middle. Its bill, legs, tail, and underside are blue.

Porygon2's Evolution from {{p|Porygon}} was the result of it being upgraded from the most cutting-edge technology available. It was upgraded to work in space for planetary development reasons, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent and capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. It can also speak a strange language only other Porygon2 can understand. As a result, it will sometimes perform motions or abilities that are not in its programming. It is generally found in computers or in labs and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|other buildings}} working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero gravity. In ancient [[Hisui]], people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through [[space-time distortion]]s and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Additionally, prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Download}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Porygon2 evolves from {{p|Porygon}} and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Evolution data===
Porygon2 [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding an [[Upgrade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} until the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{LGPE}}, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

[[File:Porygon2 M15.png|thumb|250px|Porygon2 in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'']]
Porygon2 made its unofficial {{pkmn|animated series}} debut in the English [[dub]] via stock art in the [[Pokérap GS|Johto Pokérap]].

Porygon2's lone physical appearance was in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''{{'}}s "World of Pokémon" opening, which featured every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s revealed to that point.

Due to [[EP038|the EP038 incident]], Porygon2 has not appeared in an episode of the animated series, and it is the only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} not to appear. Along with its evolved form, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, it is also the only Pokémon prior to [[Generation VIII]] that is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}} to not appear in an episode of the animated series.

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blue's Porygon2}}
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', the [[Pokémon Association]] used a Porygon2 to test {{adv|Red}} to become [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]].

In ''[[PS160|Playful Porygon2]]'', it was revealed that [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] evolved into Porygon2, as it battled with [[Silver's Weavile|Silver's Sneasel]].

In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', a {{tc|Roughneck}}'s Porygon2 was at the {{safari|Johto}}.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Porygon2 Trophy Melee.png|150px|thumb|Porygon2 in Melee]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful {{m|Tackle}} attack that sends opponents flying. The attack cannot be escaped due to the speed in which it happens but Porygon2 is harmless once the attack has finished.

====Trophy information====
''Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called {{m|Conversion 2}} to alter its type.''
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
** In the [[Generation II]] games, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its species name, because numbers are not available for nicknames.
* Porygon's evolutionary line has several unique attributes:
** They are the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members were all considered fully evolved during their respective debut generations. For this reason, they are the only Pokémon that are part of a three-stage Evolution line to be capable of learning both {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
** They are the only {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{egg3|Mineral}}.
* Porygon2 is the only non-fully [[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
** Furthermore, Porygon2, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Dipplin}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an [[Evolution item|item]].
* Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon used by opponents in [[Battle Subway]] Super Trains, [[Battle Maison]] Super Course challenges, and the [[Battle Tree]], and consequently the only Pokémon in these [[battle facility|battle facilities]] to hold an [[Eviolite]].
* Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary line that has not received an {{pkmn|animated series}} voice, as {{p|Porygon}}'s voice was heard in [[EP038]] and the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and {{p|Porygon-Z}} was given a [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice]] for its appearance in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
*All of Porgyon2's stats are exactly twenty points higher than its pre-Evolution's.

===Origin===
Porygon2 seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. Its rounder body compared to {{p|Porygon}} may represent the concept of {{wp|Subdivision surface|subdivision}} in {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. As an [[Upgrade|upgraded]] version of Porygon, it may also reference {{wp|software versioning}}. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form my be based on {{wp|optimization}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.

====Name origin====
Porygon2 is a combination of ''{{p|Porygon}}'' and the number ''2'', referencing the Pokémon's status as the second [[Evolution]] of Porygon and it being intended as an [[upgrade]]d "version 2" of Porygon.

'''Vikavolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クワガノン''' ''Kuwagannon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charjabug}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Grubbin}}.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Vikavolt closed elytra.png|thumb|left|250px|Vikavolt with its elytra closed]]
Vikavolt is a beetle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large pair of mandibles. Its small orange face has robotic, yellow eyes and is covered by a blue carapace. The mandibles extend from this helmet. They are blue on the inner surface and yellow on the outer surface. At the base of each mandible is a large spike and the inside is lined with short spikes. Its body is black and divided into three sections by yellow rings. The last two sections have a yellow spot on each side. On its back is a pair of wide, flat wings that are transparent with blue {{wp|elytra}}. It has four legs; the front pair of legs has two claws, while the back pair has only one.

Vikavolt produces electricity with an organ in its abdomen and controls it with its huge jaws to fire powerful electromagnetic beams. Vikavolt shoots these to strike down bird Pokémon. When it clasps a {{p|Charjabug}} in its legs, it is able to utilize it as an extra battery. This allows it to rapidly fire its powerful beam attacks. However, during fierce aerial fights, it will release Charjabug to make itself lighter and more mobile. It is an adept flier, capable of acrobatic maneuvers such as tailspins and sharp turns. Even as it weaves through complicated tangles of branches in the forest, it is able to maintain high-speed flight.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/vikavolt/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Vikavolt]</ref> It is known to have a rivalry with {{p|Pinsir}} and {{p|Heracross}}. As shown in the episode ''[[SM119|A High-Speed Awakening!]]'', it likes to drink {{wp|Sap|tree sap}}. In that same episode, it is shown that, in [[Alola]], there is a competition known as the [[Vikavolt race]], where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can have their Vikavolt race for the chance to win a [[Buginium Z]]. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Vikavolt's mobility is exceptional, to the point it can remain flying while it sleeps. This usually happens after intense battles, where Vikavolt used up too much electricity. In preparation for its next battle, Vikavolt will sleep upside down in order to generate electricity in its abdomen.

A special Vikavolt in [[Alola]] acts as the [[Totem Pokémon]] for [[Sophocles]]'s {{DL|Island challenge|trial}} in [[Hokulani Observatory]]. This Vikavolt possesses [[Z-Power]], an energy that originates from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Vikavolt and completing the trial is an [[Electrium Z]].

===Evolution===
Vikavolt evolves from {{p|Charjabug}} and is the final form of {{p|Grubbin}}.

===Evolution data===
Vikavolt [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charjabug}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. There is no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Charjabug is also able to evolve into Vikavolt when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

A Vikavolt appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HOR01|Journey to a New Horizon]]''.

A Vikavolt appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HOR03|Traveling Trainer Tokio]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Vikavolt (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Vikavolt shares its category with {{p|Pinsir}}. They are both known as the Stag Beetle Pokémon.
* Vikavolt has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Vikavolt, along with its pre-evolved forms, were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>

===Origin===
Vikavolt appears to be based on a {{wp|stag beetle}} and a {{wp|railgun}}. Its straight, scissor-like {{wp|Mandible (insect mouthpart)|mandibles}} resemble those of ''Lucanus hayashii'' and some ''{{wp|Cyclommatus}}'' species of beetles. Its original evolution method of levelling up in a [[special magnetic field]] might come from various insects such as termites (which also have mandibles), which use {{wp|geomagnetism}} to navigate their nests and orient their construction.

====Name origin====
Vikavolt may come from ''vise grip'' and ''{{wp|volt}}''.

Kuwagannon may be a combination of 鍬形虫 ''kuwagatamushi'' (stag beetle) and ''cannon''.

Radio

Silverlucario: grammar fix

{{samename|other uses|Radio (disambiguation)}}
'''Radio''' refers to technology used to send and receive {{wp|radio wave|radio signals}}. Radio programs are known to be broadcast in the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. Most radio stations are hosted by [[DJ]]s and are broadcast by the Johto Radio Broadcasting Network from [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] or by the Kanto Radio Broadcasting Network from the [[Pokémon Tower#Differences among generations|Radio Station]] in Kanto.

==In the core series games==
Radio functionality is included in the [[Pokégear]], which is featured in the Johto-based games {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

===Lucky Number Show{{anchor|Lucky Channel}}===
The '''Lucky Number Show''' (Japanese: '''ラッキーナンバーキャンペーン''' ''Lucky Number Campaign'') is a radio program hosted by {{DL|DJ|Reed}} on the '''Lucky Channel''' (Japanese: '''ラッキーチャンネル''' ''Lucky Channel'') from the Goldenrod Radio Tower in [[Goldenrod City]] in Generation II.

The station broadcasts in Johto on channel 8.5. The channel broadcasts a random [[Original Trainer|OT]] [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] which changes every {{DL|Days of the week|Friday}}. During the week, the player can visit the Radio Tower and talk to a man on the first floor. If any of the player's Pokémon in the [[party]] or in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] have an OT ID that in whole or in part matches the ID number for the week, they will receive a prize. The player may only receive a prize once per week, even if they have multiple Pokémon with winning IDs. The lucky numbers for the week are randomly generated the first time the player speaks with the man on the first floor of the Radio Tower.

The possible prizes are:
{{Itlisth|building}}
{{itemlist|PP Up|Trainer ID matched last two digits only|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{itemlist|Exp. Share|Trainer ID matched last three or four digits only|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{itemlist|Master Ball|Trainer ID matched exactly|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{Itlistfoot|building}}

While the program is no longer broadcast in Generation IV, the [[Loto-ID|drawing itself]] remains on the Radio Tower's ground floor, changing daily, rather than weekly, and with the same prizes as the drawings in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Mysterious Transmission===
When the player is at the [[Ruins of Alph]], strange noises will play and there will be no reception from other stations.

In [[Generation II]], it can be heard on channel 13.5 and it doubles the encounter rate of wild Pokémon.

In [[Generation IV]], it also increases the chance of encountering an {{p|Unown}} form the player has not yet encountered, and sounds similar to the [[Azure Flute]]. It can be heard if the radio is tuned to somewhere in the center.

===Poké Flute===
The station plays [[Poké Flute]] music that is used to awaken {{p|Snorlax}}. It requires the [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] upgrade.

In Generation II, it can be heard on channel 20.0. In Generation IV, it only plays in the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]]. It can be heard if the radio is tuned near the top, above stations 1 and 2.

===Pokédex Show===
The '''Pokédex Show''' (Japanese: '''よくわかる　ポケモンずかん''' ''The Pokédex Made Simple'') is a radio show available in Johto in Generation II. It operates on radio frequency 4.5 from 4 AM to 10 AM each day. All the other times, [[#Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] is broadcasted on that frequency. This show is not hosted by any known DJ. The Pokédex Show randomly broadcasts Pokédex descriptions out of the Pokémon that the player has caught and stored in the Pokédex.

===Pokémon Music===
The '''Pokémon Music Channel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミュージックチャンネル''' ''Pokémon Music Channel'') broadcasts different pieces of music on different [[days of the week]], each with different effects. In Pokémon Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] is required to listen to the Kanto station.

In Generation II, the program differs between Johto and Kanto. In Johto, the program is known as '''Pokémon Music''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミュージック''' ''Pokémon Music''), and is hosted by DJ {{DL|DJ|Ben}} on channel 7.5. In Kanto, the program is known as '''Pokémusic''' (Japanese: '''ポケミュージック''' ''Pokémusic'') or '''Let's All Sing!''' (Japanese: '''みんなで　うたおう！''' ''Let's Sing, Everybody!''), and is hosted by DJ {{DL|DJ|Fern}} on channel 18.5.

In Generation IV, the program is hosted by {{DL|DJ|Ben}} in both Kanto and Johto on station 1 (top-left).

|}{{-}}
====Pokémon March====
*In Generation II: The song plays on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. It doubles the encounter rate, effectively being a stronger [[White Flute]].
*In Generation IV: The song plays on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays pre-[[National Pokédex]], and only on Mondays and Fridays post-National Pokédex after receiving the [[GB Sounds]]. Instead of influencing encounter rate itself, it increases the ''movement rate'' of the formula by 25.
====Pokémon Lullaby====
*In Generation II: The song plays on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It halves the encounter rate, similarly to [[Black Flute]] in [[Generation III]] and IV.
*In Generation IV: The song plays on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays pre-National Pokédex, and only on Tuesdays and Saturdays post-National Pokédex. It acts opposite of Pokémon March, decreasing the value by 25 (however, if the player is just walking through [[tall grass]] or in a cave and has no other modifiers, this value {{wp|underflow}}s and is set by the game's code to the cap of 100).

====Pokémon Past Archive====
The Pokémon Past Archive is only accessible in Generation IV, after the player has acquired the National Pokédex. It has no function in the field, but like the [[GB Sounds]], it plays chiptunes from Generation II. It primarily plays music that the player cannot normally listen to with the GB Sounds (such as the game's opening and ending themes) as well as music that can be listened to with the GB Sounds but only play a handful of times throughout the game (such as [[Eusine]]'s Theme). It plays on Sundays after receiving the GB Sounds from the Game Freak employee.

===={{anchor|Hoenn Sound|Hoenn Sound}} and {{anchor|Sinnoh Sound|Sinnoh Sound}}====
The Hoenn Sound and Sinnoh Sound channels are also accessible only in Generation IV, post-National Pokédex. In order to successfully attract Pokémon, the music must be currently playing instead of the location music.
* Hoenn Sound plays a remixed version of the {{rt|101|Hoenn}} theme, which attracts certain wild [[Hoenn]] Pokémon. The song plays on Wednesdays. Attracted Pokémon have a 20% encounter rate each.
* Sinnoh Sound plays a remixed version of the {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} theme, which attracts certain wild [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon. The song plays on Thursdays. Attracted Pokémon have a 20% encounter rate each, except Shinx, which has a 40% encounter rate due to it being the only Sinnoh Pokémon to appear in its areas. Curiously, it attracts the Generation III Pokémon {{p|Meditite}}, although Meditite does also appear in Sinnoh.

===Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk{{anchor|Pokémon Talk}}===
'''Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk''' (Japanese: '''オーキドはかせの　ポケモンこうざ''' ''{{tt|Dr. Okido's|Prof. Oak's}} Pokémon Lecture'') is a radio show aired on the '''Pokémon Channel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンチャンネル''' ''Pokémon Channel''). It is hosted by [[Professor Oak]] and [[DJ Mary]]. The show talks about Pokémon and where they are found. At first, Professor Oak was going to turn down the offer of having his own radio show, but Mary's energy and enthusiasm convinced him to host it.

In Generation II, the show can be heard on channel 4.5, during the afternoons; in the mornings, the [[#Pokédex Show|Pokédex Show]] is broadcast instead. In Generation IV, the show can be heard all day on station 2 (top-right). After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], it also informs the listeners of [[mass outbreak]]s. This also includes the ones from Generation II that appeared in a swarm when a Trainer registered into the player's Pokégear contacted the player.

The following Pokémon may be found by listening to Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Radio Transmission===
A high-pitched screech plays over and over. It only plays in [[Mahogany Town]], {{rt|43|Johto}}, and [[Lake of Rage]] before the player has cleared the [[Team Rocket HQ]].

In Generation II, it can be heard on channel 20.5. In Generation IV, the broadcast causes interference that prevents the radio from tuning in to other stations.

===Team Rocket Announcement===
The announcement is played on all stations after [[Team Rocket]] succeeds in taking over the Goldenrod Radio Tower. A Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}} announces over the airwaves that they have rejoined, and pleads their boss, [[Giovanni]], to come out of hiding and rejoin them. It begins playing once the player had defeated the seventh [[Gym Leader]], and no longer plays after Team Rocket disbands.

===That Town, These People===
'''That Town, These People''' (Japanese: '''あのまちこのひと''' ''That Town, These People''), known as '''Places and People''' in Generation II, is a show that focuses on various towns or people.

In Generation II, it is broadcast from Kanto on channel 16.5, and is hosted by {{DL|DJ|Lily}}. In Pokémon Crystal, an [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] is required to listen to the program on a Pokégear; however, players can listen to the show on radios in Kanto houses before then. The program pulls the name of a random {{pkmn|Trainer}} the {{player}} has fought, or a random location, and then applies a random quality from the list below to it.

* ''<Trainer>'' is actually great.
* ''<Trainer>'' is always happy.

====Buena's Password====
'''Buena's Password''' (Japanese: '''アオイのあいことば''' ''{{tt|Aoi|Buena}}'s Password'') is a quiz show held in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] by [[Buena]] that was first introduced in {{game|Crystal}}. In Generation II, the channel is broadcast on its own station, station 10.5. In Generation IV, it is part of the repertoire of the Variety Channel.

In order to play the quiz show, the player must listen to the Pokégear radio from 6 PM to midnight (in Generation IV, at 2 AM, 5 AM, 8 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, 8 PM, and 11 PM). A secret password will be announced over the air, along with an invitation for listeners to come to the Goldenrod Radio Tower in [[Goldenrod City]]. The player is to go to the second floor and talk to Buena, the show's host. She will give the player three options; if the correct one is picked, one point is added to the player's [[Blue Card]]. Only one point can be earned per day; changing the DS time to a different day will not allow another point to be earned.

In Generation II, points must be spent to buy each prize; whereas in Generation IV, prizes are awarded when the player obtains a certain number of points. Players cannot have more than 30p on the Blue Card. If the player has 30p, they can speak to Buena to register her phone number in the [[Pokégear]] (points will not be spent). In Generation II, the player cannot earn points while their Blue Card has 30p (requiring points to be spent); whereas in Generation IV, the player will be issued a new Blue Card once the 30p limit is hit.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Radios first appeared in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]'' when {{adv|Gold}} was seen enjoying [[DJ Mary]] singing.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', a radio was playing as [[Mr. Briney]] slept, reporting a burglary at the [[Sea Cottage]].

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Buena's Password was featured briefly in ''[[GB15|Escape From The Mystery Forest!]]'', coming on {{GnB|Gold}}'s [[Pokégear]] radio as he was flipping channels while lost in a forest.

In the English translation by [[Chuang Yi]], [[Buena]] is called by her Japanese name, Aoi.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* According to one of [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor's assistant|aides]] at the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Lab]], Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk is prerecorded.
** This explains why the {{player}} can always find Oak in his lab and never at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], even when the show is airing.
* In the [[Generation II]] games:
** If the player listens to one of the radios in [[New Bark Town]] before receiving their [[first partner Pokémon]], shows will not play in full, instead ending immediately after their introduction.
** If the Lucky Channel is left playing, {{DL|DJ|Reed}} will occasionally say, "''...Repeating myself gets to be a drag...''"
* In {{v2|Crystal}}, during the takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower by [[Team Rocket]], their message is broadcast on the Buena's Password channel, even at times when the channel would normally be off the air.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}:
** The Town and Street Corner Channels have the same Japanese name.
** Before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], [[Days of the week|Sunday]] is the only day of the week on which the music that plays on the Pokémon Music Channel matches the Generation II games. On every other day, the music is swapped.
** The poster advertising the Lucky Channel in the lobby of the Goldenrod Radio Tower is still present, despite the channel only appearing in the Generation II games.
*** In the Japanese versions, the poster instead refers to '''だいこうひょうポケモンくじ''' ''The Great Pokémon Lottery'', as opposed to the original '''ラッキーチャンネル''' ''Lucky Channel''.
** After the player deactivates the generator in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], the radio in [[Mahogany Town]]'s souvenir shop will be playing a show called the Radio Miniseries, which is not mentioned anywhere else in the games. This may have been the original name of the Serial Radio Drama show.
** [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] Sound play on Wednesdays and Thursdays, respectively, which are considered the third and fourth days of the week in some parts of the world, as well in {{wp|ISO 8601|international standardization}}. This corresponds to Hoenn and Sinnoh's respective introductions in [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}.
** {{p|Meditite}} is the only Pokémon found via Hoenn or Sinnoh Sound that doesn't match its [[region]] of introduction, being a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} found via Sinnoh Sound. This may be due to its greater prevalence in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} than in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], one of Professor Oak's aides in the Oak Pokémon Research Lab mentions that Professor Oak will soon have his own radio show, a [[List of cross-generational references|reference]] to the Generation II games. In the localizations, he says that the show will be called Professor Oak's Pokémon ''Seminar'' rather than Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk.

'''Grubbin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アゴジムシ''' ''Agojimushi'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charjabug}} starting at [[level]] 20, which evolves into {{p|Vikavolt}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Grubbin is a small, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a white body with three nubs on either side resembling simple legs. There are two yellow spots on its side. Its head is dominated by two large, yellow mandibles with reddish-orange tips. The rest of its head is brown and has a reddish-orange structure with a yellow rim on top. It has large, black eyes with white pupils.

Grubbin typically lives underground. It uses its jaw as a weapon, a tool for burrowing, and for extracting sap from trees. Additionally, it can create sticky threads, which it shoots from its mouth and uses to swing around as though on suspension wires. It also uses these threads to stop opponents from moving, so it can then grab them in its mandibles, which are strong enough to snap thick tree branches. Even its natural enemies, such as {{p|Rookidee}} and {{p|Hoothoot}}, would rather run away than risk getting caught in its mandibles. It loves electricity and can be found near power plants. They can also be found near {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, as a means of avoiding attacks from bird-like Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/grubbin/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Grubbin]</ref> As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Grubbin uses its mandibles to makes nests underground. It has been observed sleeping in the dirt. It is believed that the dirt it sleeps in is possibly fluffy and comfortable.

===Evolution===
Grubbin evolves into {{p|Charjabug}}, which evolves into {{p|Vikavolt}}.

==Trivia==
* Grubbin, along with its evolved forms, were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Grubbin shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Blipbug}}. They are both known as the Larva Pokémon.
** Both Grubbin and Blipbug are also the only pure {{type|Bug}} Pokémon of their respective [[generation]].

===Origin===
Grubbin appears to be based on a {{wp|larva}}l {{wp|beetle}}, also known as a grub. It also bears resemblance to a common two-pronged electrical plug, which is further backed by the fact that it gains the {{t|Electric}} type upon evolving into Charjabug.

====Name origin====
Grubbin may be a combination of ''grub'' and ''grubbing'' (to scavenge or dig). Given its resemblance to an electrical plug, it may also be a play on the phrase "plug in".

Agojimushi may be a combination of 顎 ''ago'' (jaw) and 地虫 ''jimushi'' (grub).

Glitch City

Silverlucario: Someone can add the 'rumor' back if they feel necessary, but a bug caused ONLY by a third-party program is too far outside the scope of the games themselves to be included imo

'''Glitch City''' (Japanese: '''バグった{{tt|町|まち}}''' ''Bug City'') is a generalized term used by players of the [[Pokémon games]] to refer to maps with invalid tile data.

==Generation I==
{{cleanup|section}}
[[File:Glitch City Map.png|thumb|right|A Glitch City in Generation I]]
===Accessing Glitch City===
Glitch City can be accessed by executing a series of steps at the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. Specifically, the player should enter a Safari Game, then immediately after entering, attempt to leave the Safari Zone. When the attendant asks if the player wants to leave early, the player should answer “no” and reenter the Safari Zone, rather than actually leave. The game should then be [[save]]d and reset. When the player now attempts to leave the Safari Zone again, the attendant will instead ask if the player would like to join a Safari Game, to which the player should answer “no” and leave through the south exit. After taking 500 steps at any location other than the Safari Zone, the Safari Zone's PA will ring, and the player will be warped into the Safari Zone [[gate]]. By leaving the gate through the south exit, the player will enter Glitch City.

Glitch City cannot be accessed if the player runs out of steps in [[Celadon City]], [[Cerulean City]], [[Lavender Town]], [[Saffron City]], [[Fuchsia City]], [[Viridian City]], [[Pewter City]], [[Cinnabar Island]], [[Vermilion City]], or inside any building.

===Escaping Glitch City===
The only way to leave Glitch City is to {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}} out of it.

===Explanation===
In the Pokémon games, doors and cave entrances are coded as “warps” that are placed on tiles. Warps specify two values: one value indicates which map the player should be warped to, and the other specifies which warp on that map the player should be teleported to (warps can only lead to other warps).

Glitch City occurs because the player leaves the Safari Zone while the step timer is still running. When the steps run out, they are automatically warped to the Safari Zone gate, regardless of whether they are actually in the Safari Zone.

The reason the player may find themselves in Glitch City upon exiting the gate is because the door that would lead out to [[Fuchsia City]] is coded so that the warp points to warp 4 on the last map the player was on. This works perfectly after a normal Safari game, where the player would be warped to just before the Safari Zone's gate. However, many areas in Generation I [[Kanto]] lack a warp 4, leading to a glitch if the player was in one of those maps when the steps run out. The maps that have a warp 4—[[Celadon City]], [[Cerulean City]], [[Lavender Town]], [[Saffron City]], [[Fuchsia City]], [[Viridian City]], [[Pewter City]], [[Cinnabar Island]] and [[Vermilion City]]—do not result in Glitch Cities, instead taking the player to wherever the warp 4 is.

===Layout===
Glitch City is a corrupted version of whichever map the player was on when they ran out of time. The [[Town Map]] will display the location the player was in right before entering a Glitch City as the player's current location. For example, if a player was on Route 1 prior to entering a Glitch City, the Town Map will display the player on Route 1. Glitch City's wild Pokémon data is the same as that of the map that the player entered it from.

The dimensions of the source map are apparently preserved: going too far in any direction while in a Glitch City will cause the player to walk outside of the map, thus crashing the game. [[Pokémon Stadium]]'s [[Game Boy Tower]] mistakes such crashes for a corrupted game. The only crash-free Glitch City is that of [[Pallet Town]], which does not allow the player to move at all.

Although some aspects of the source map of Glitch City are preserved (such as some tiles), most other attributes are completely changed (such as what is and is not walkable terrain). There are essentially five types of tiles in Glitch City: walkable tiles, [[ledge]]s, walls, [[water tile]]s, and tiles which can be walked onto but not walked from. Map links, which usually allow players to travel between two adjacent areas without a warp (such as from {{rt|22|Kanto}} to [[Viridian City]]), are also apparently ignored, so if a player manages to navigate to where an adjacent map should be and try to walk into it, the result will be the same as if they walked outside of the map.

===Effects===
In Glitch City, [[cuttable plant|cuttable trees]] usually cannot be {{m|cut}} down no matter how many times the move is used on them, [[signpost]]s are unreadable, and doors and cave entrances cannot be entered. This is because objects (such as the invisible ones placed over signs) and warps (such as those placed over doors and cave entrances) are not present in Glitch City. It is possible to {{m|Surf}} in some Glitch Cities, even if no [[water tile]]s are visible.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Glitch City causes [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] to run to and from random places. Walking onto certain glitched tiles may make it disappear, though after the player leaves such tiles, Pikachu may reappear and follow the player's recorded path.

If the final step before the steps run out is taken as the player jumps a [[ledge]] in an area with a fourth warp, the player may be able to walk through walls when returning to that area. If it is made while the player is [[spin tile|spinning]], the player will always be spinning while walking, even if this occurs in an area from which it is impossible to enter Glitch City, such as Viridian City.

If the player has one Pokémon in the party that is {{status|poison}}ed, the player will appear in front of a Pokémon Center when it faints. This makes areas such as [[Cerulean Cave]] and [[Indigo Plateau]] accessible earlier than normal. The glitch is deactivated once a building is entered.

[[Fishing]] or pressing the start button while in Glitch City to bring up the [[menu]] often changes the appearance of the glitched terrain. This is sometimes permanent for the remainder of the time spent in Glitch City, and will sometimes change all the tiles into [[water tile]]s.

In {{game|Yellow}}, if the final step is taken on Routes [[Kanto_Route_17|17]] or [[Kanto_Route_18|18]], the game acts as if the player is still on Cycling Road. Although the player's sprite is shown to be walking, the [[Bicycle]] cannot be unmounted, and the player will automatically move downwards as long as there is an empty tile.

This Glitch City is very similar to that of Pallet Town.

Because invisible walls exist on the western side of this Glitch City, travelling north is the easiest way to escape it. If the player goes to the westernmost checkerboard pattern of water in the area, goes left of it one step, then back right, and presses start, the entire area will become surfable water.

|-
| || || {{rt|13|Kanto}} || || || After leaving the gate the player will be transported to a Glitch City where any move the player makes will send them to [[Saffron Gym]]. After leaving the Gym, the player ends up in a completely different Glitch City.

==Generation II==
Sometimes, encountering certain forms of [[?????]] can cause a Glitch City to appear after the battle.

In addition, Glitch Cities can also be accessed by walking out of bounds. Glitch Cities accessed this way may corrupt data such as the [[Bag]] or [[Gym Badges]]. This is caused by many Glitch Cities loading a list of more than the maximum allowed number of 15 object events, and the game trying to load said events overwrites sections of the RAM it isn't supposed to. Many of those cannot be normally seen because they're set to appear at glitched times of day or with specific event flags.

The most well-known Generation II Glitch City, map 0xFF00, can be easily accessed by saving in an indoor area and resetting the game, then by walking out of bounds. The map does not have a defined tileset, so it uses the tileset of the last map the player was on, but if the player saves and resets, the default Johto tileset will be used instead. The background music is initially a glitched version of the previous music theme playing, but after saving and resetting, it will be the same when [[Lance]] or {{ga|Red}} is battled. Dimensions can vary, they could initially be 60x35, but eventually set to 0x0 (actually 256x256). Map connections are zeroed out.

If a map doesn't connect to another one in a specific direction, the game replaces only the high byte with 0xFF upon transfer. Therefore, going to different Glitch Cities can exhibit different effects. For example, if the player is in [[Pallet Town]], which connects to {{rt|1|Kanto}} (0x0D01) to the north, and then the player [[flight|flies]] to [[Fuchsia City]], which has no connecting map to the north, the player can potentially enter Glitch City 0xFF01.

* The fansite [[Glitch City Laboratories]] is named after the Glitch City glitch.

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur has two forms: '''Mega Venusaur''' and '''Gigantamax Venusaur'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Venusaur using the [[Venusaurite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Venusaur if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Venusaur is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon LeafGreen}}, appearing on the box art of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Erika Venusaur bulb closed PM.png|thumb|200px|left|Venusaur with its bulb closed]]
Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping. [[EP051|In the anime]], Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Forms===
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.

When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], the flower on Venusaur's back grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Its legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Venusaur is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===

[[File:May Venusaur.png|thumb|250px|Female Venusaur in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Venusaur anime.png|thumb|250px|Mega Venusaur in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Venusaur]]=====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the anime. She was briefly seen facing off against a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s {{p|Marill}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of an evolution ceremony for Bulbasaur. It appeared again in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', during a flashback.

A Venusaur [[nickname]]d Bruteroot appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Corey]]. It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it uses the move {{m|Earthquake}} (which Venusaur couldn’t learn until [[Generation III]]), which acts similarly to {{smw|Donkey Kong}}'s Down Special. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.

Venusaur is also a part of the stage in [[Poké Floats]]. The front half will push itself onto the screen first will begin to move to the left after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Venusaur is briefly mentioned in Ivysaur's trophy description.

Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!''

==Trivia==
* Venusaur shares its height (6'7"/2.0 m), weight (220.5 lbs./100.0 kg) and Egg Groups (Monster and Grass), with another {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Tropius}}.
* Venusaur's evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to have the {{t|Poison}} type.
** Venusaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
* Venusaur is among [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon. However, it is also his least favorite Pokémon to draw due to its complex design.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html</ref>
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], a Venusaur with an English name could not be [[trade]]d on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its pre-evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* If the {{player}} chooses {{p|Charmander}} as their first partner Pokémon in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, or locks themselves out of receiving {{p|Bulbasaur}} in {{game|Yellow}}, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the [[Pokédex]] without [[trade|trading]], as no NPC in said games uses a Venusaur under this condition. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur in Knockout Mode at the [[Trainer Tower]].
* Venusaur is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have [[gender differences]].

===Merchandise===
[[File:Venusaur Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Venusaur appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the rook piece in chess.

===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.

====Name origin====
Venusaur may be a combination of ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus flytrap}} plant) or ''venom'' and ''dinosaur''.

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 花 ''hana'' (flower).

Illuminate (Ability)

2024-06-18T01:51:51Z

Silverlucario: Reformatted to match the style of similar pages. Took out the bit that implied only Emerald didn't have a boost to Rock Smash - I could not find anything that verifies this, only that gen 3 overall does not have it. HGSS rock smash boost has been tested, but I couldn't find anything regarding ORAS.

|}
'''Illuminate''' (Japanese: '''はっこう''' ''Luminescence'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III through XIII====
Illuminate has no effect during battle.

==== Generation IX ====
Starting in Version 2.0.1 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Illuminate prevents other Pokémon from lowering the {{stat|accuracy}} stat stage of the Pokémon with this Ability, and also ignores the target's {{stat|evasion}} stages.

Effects that decrease accuracy without using stat stages, such as {{a|Wonder Skin}} and {{a|Sand Veil}}, are unaffected by Illuminate.

This Ability can be ignored with {{a|Mold Breaker}}.

Prior to version 2.0.1 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Illuminate had no effect in battle, even after its text update in version 1.3.2. However, this inconsistency could not be seen in-game as no Pokémon with Illuminate had been available in Scarlet and Violet at the time.

=== Outside of battle ===

==== Generation III ====
If a Pokémon with Illuminate is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. It shares this trait with {{a|Arena Trap}} and {{a|No Guard}}. Illuminate does not affect the [[Rock Smash (move)|Rock Smash]] encounter rate.

==== Generation IV through VII ====
Illuminate now increases the Rock Smash encounter rate in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]].
=====Generation VIII=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this Ability only affects the rate at which [[random encounter]]s happen.

==== Generation IX ====
Illuminate appears to have no effect on the encounter rate of wild Pokémon.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, a Pokémon with Illuminate "blinks" after a turn in which it was damaged. The "blink" summons a hostile Pokémon somewhere on the floor.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the Pokémon obtains the Decoy [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|status]] after using an illuminating move. The Decoy status makes enemies preferentially attack the Pokémon instead of other allies.

[[File:GOTCHA first partner Pokémon.png|thumb|400px|The player's first partner Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} through {{Gen|VII}} in [[GOTCHA!]]]]
A '''first partner Pokémon''', also referred to informally as a '''starter Pokémon''', is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} owns at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. This primarily refers to {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}} Pokémon given to players by a [[Pokémon Professor]] or other mentor at the beginning of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], as well as {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} in {{LGPE}}, but can otherwise be any Pokémon outside of this context.

In the games, the player's first partner will be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] they encounter. Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, their first partner may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their first partner Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

It is said that the first partner Pokémon are extremely rare in the wild, accounting for their uniqueness in each game.

In the creative process, first partner Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.<ref>[https://www.gamesradar.com/how-pokemon-are-born/ How Pokemon are born | GamesRadar+], by Michael Grimm, published 20 March 2009</ref>

==Terminology==
[[File:First Partner Pokémon Abound.png|thumb|250px|Promotional image for [[The Indigo Disk]] using the term "first partner Pokémon"<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/first_partner_pokemon/ Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Familiar First Partner Pokémon].</ref>]]
{{main|Terminology of first partner Pokémon}}
===Starter Pokémon===
Historically, these Pokémon have been referred to as "starter Pokémon", sometimes shortened as "starters".

The earliest known official use of "starter Pokémon" was on page 5 of ''{{OBP|Pokémon Power|magazine}}'' #6 (January 1999). The first use in the anime was in the ''[[S07|Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' episode ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]''. The first use in the [[core series]] games was in {{game4|BWB2W2}}, where one of the questions from the [[Passerby Analytics HQ]] is: ''"What's your starter Pokémon?"''

===First partner Pokémon===
From [[Generation VI]] onward, they are usually known as "first partner Pokémon", sometimes shortened as "first partners". This term is used in the core series games, {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|Masters EX}} and {{g|GO}}, and on [[Pokémon.com]] and the [https://pokemonstore.com Pokémon Store].

Occasionally, other Pokémon have been referred to as first partner Pokémon. According to its [[Pokédex]] entry in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun]], {{p|Poipole}} is chosen as a first partner in its world. In Pokémon Masters EX, {{mas|Alder}}'s {{p|Volcarona}} and {{mas|Anabel}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} are said to be their Trainers' first partner Pokémon.

Krysta Yang, a former public relations manager at [[Nintendo of America]], has claimed that the phrase "partner Pokémon" is preferred in official communication due to "starter Pokémon" implying that the player will "be rid of them" later in the game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqQEFEjLybE&t=6120s Nintendo's Big Announcement Season EXPLAINED - EP81 Kit & Krysta Podcast | Kit & Krysta on YouTube] — Krysta Yang: "They did start using 'partner Pokémon' a couple of years back, but it's been hard for them to get people to catch on to this official terminology because people like to say 'starter Pokémon.' ... I think there was something about how, if you call it a 'starter Pokémon,' you're basically saying that you will be rid of them. ...That was one of the reasons, I believe, is that if you call it a 'starter Pokémon,' it's like, oh, you're only just going to start the game with it, and then you ditch it for your, like, shinies and your legendaries. ... So then the 'partner Pokémon' became the phrasing that they liked better because it's like, 'this is your partner for your whole adventure,' like you really want to get attached to this character, this Pokémon that you start your game with, but it's not just who you start your game with..."</ref>

===Japanese terminology===
In contrast to the English terminology, Japanese does not have a single term that is consistently used to refer to first partner Pokémon. The most common Japanese term is 「パートナー」 (''partner''), but occasionally 相棒 (''partner'') may also be used. These terms, as well as just ポケモン (''Pokémon''), are usually paired with 最初の (''first'') or 初めての (''first''), but other terms such as 最初に選んだ (''that was chosen first'') or はじめに選んだ (''that was chosen first'') are also used. Among Japanese fans, 御三家 (''the big three'') is commonly used to refer to the Grass, Fire, and Water trios.

==Grass, Fire, and Water trios==
Most marketing refers exclusively to the standard trios of {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} Pokémon that can be chosen at the start of most [[core series]] games.

The Grass, Fire, and Water types handily illustrate the type effectiveness mechanics of [[Pokémon battle]]s: Fire "beats" Grass (a Fire-type [[move]] deals double damage when attacking a Grass-type Pokémon, but a Fire-type Pokémon takes half damage from a Grass-type move), Water beats Fire, and Grass beats Water. This "rock, paper, scissors" relationship was illustrated in the instruction booklet of the original games.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/pokemon-blue-nintendogameboy-hiresscans/Pokemon%20Blue%20-%20Manual/page/n33/mode/2up Pokémon Red Version instruction booklet, pg. 32], archived on Internet Archive</ref>

The 27 Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type first partner Pokémon are listed below. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} return as first partners that can be chosen by the player shortly after they first land in [[Hisui]].

The Kalos first partners also have a more broadly defined triangle in the secondary types of their final evolutions. They all still deal 2× damage offensively, and most still receive ½× damage defensively, but while Dark does not technically resist Psychic, it is still defensively advantaged since it is immune.

==Other first partners==
Aside from the regional trios, a few other Pokémon have been explicitly referred to as first partner Pokémon.

For a list of other Pokémon who are Trainers' first Pokémon, see [[list of characters' first Pokémon]].

===Player's first Pokémon===
{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} are given out as first partner Pokémon in [[Kanto]] by [[Professor Oak]] in some media. Pikachu is the first Pokémon given to the player in {{game|Yellow}}, while {{ga|Blue}} gets an Eevee. The {{pkmn2|partner}} Pikachu and Eevee are the first Pokémon caught by the player in {{LGPE}}, respectively, while Oak gives {{ga|Trace}} a standard Eevee in Let's Go, Pikachu! and a standard Pikachu in Let's Go, Eevee!

These Pokémon are never referred to as first partner Pokémon (or starter Pokémon) in-game; they are typically referred to as {{ga|partner Pokémon}} instead. However, in one instance on the official website for the games, and on the [[Pokémon.com]] page for the games, they are referred to as first partner Pokémon.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]: "Of course, your first partner Pokémon will be either Pikachu or Eevee, depending on which version you get, but the types and rarities of the wild Pokémon that you encounter also differ between the two games."</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-and-pokemon-lets-go-eevee Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! | Video Games & Apps]: "In addition to determining your first partner Pokémon, your choice of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! also affects the species of Pokémon you encounter and the rate at which you encounter them."</ref>

===Other references===
{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}} is given out by [[Nanu]] as a first partner on [[Ula'ula Island]] in [[Alola]]. It is implied that [[Island kahuna|kahunas]] are responsible for giving out first partners on their respective islands, so it is possible the other kahunas give out different Pokémon to the standard Alolan first partner Pokémon given by Hala.

{{p|Poipole}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}} refers to it as a popular first partner in its world.

==In the games==
===Core series games===
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Sinnoh Partners.png|thumb|150px|The Sinnoh first partner trio wallpaper in Pokémon HOME]]
In the core series games, a [[rival]] character often picks the Pokémon that is strong against the one the player chose, nominally setting them up for challenging battles going forward.

The Pokémon in the regional first partner trios have several common characteristics, both among each other and between generations. The most obvious commonality is their reliable typing. They all have an [[Ability]] that boosts their main type when their [[HP]] becomes low: the Grass types have {{a|Overgrow}}, Fire types have {{a|Blaze}}, and Water types have {{a|Torrent}}. They also all have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female, generally making {{pkmn|breeding}} them slightly inconvenient. When obtained at the start of a game, they are always level 5 and they start out knowing a {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] ({{m|Pound}}, {{m|Scratch}}, or {{m|Tackle}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] ({{m|Growl}}, {{m|Leer}}, or {{m|Tail Whip}}); since [[Generation VI]] (with the exception of [[Generation VIII]]), they also have an attacking move that matches their main type.

The table below shows the Pokémon that are selectable at the start of each core series game, and which other games they can also be obtained in. A '''{{color2|{{fire color}}|Fire (type)|F}}''', '''{{color2|{{water color}}|Water (type)|W}}''' or '''{{color2|{{grass color}}|Grass (type)|G}}''' above the game's title indicates that only the first partner Pokémon in the trio that corresponds to that type is obtainable in that game. For availability in games outside of the core series, refer to the "Game locations" heading of the Pokémon's respective page for its species.

===Other games===
{{main|List of the player's first Pokémon}}
Other games may use one of the classic first partner Pokémon, with {{p|Pikachu}} being fairly common; but many games give the player other Pokémon as their first Pokémon.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Sinnoh first partners anime.png|thumb|300px|The Sinnoh first partner Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a first partner Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. First partner Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific first partner Pokémon available vary from region to region but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where first partner Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a [[Pokémon Breeder]] for first partner Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper first partner Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, not all first partner Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own first partner Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

The [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]] also features all three of [[Hoenn]]'s first partner Pokémon, in all forms including their [[Mega Evolution]]s. {{ga|Brendan}} is shown to have picked a {{p|Treecko}}, while {{ga|May}} has both a {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of first partner Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out first partner Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga, although he is at one point seen owning a {{p|Venusaur}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the first partner Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three first partner Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of first partner Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] as a special first partner to {{adv|Yellow}}.

==Trivia==
* The only two first partner Pokémon that are dual-type in their initial form, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.
* Each one of the Alola first partners' final evolutions has an immunity. {{p|Decidueye}}'s Ghost type is immune to Normal and Fighting; {{p|Incineroar}}'s Dark type is immune to Psychic; and {{p|Primarina}}'s Fairy type is immune to Dragon.
** Coincidentally, this also gives them advantages against {{p|Necrozma}}'s Ultra form: Decidueye and Incineroar are super effective against Ultra Necrozma's Psychic typing, while Primarina is strong against Ultra Necrozma's Dragon typing.
* As of [[Generation IX]], the only sets of first partners without secondary types in any of their final evolutions are the [[Johto]] first partners and the [[Galar]] first partners.
** By contrast, the first partners of [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]), [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], and [[Paldea]] all have a secondary type present in their final evolutions.
* Both Kanto and Hoenn first partners are the only set of first partners capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Additionally, both Kanto and Galar first partners are the only set of first partners capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing.
*** This makes the Kanto first partners the only set of first partners that can both Mega Evolve and Gigantamax.

===In the games===
* In [[Generation II]], it was not possible to have a {{Shiny}} female first partner Pokémon, due to the mechanics of how [[gender]] and Shininess were determined. The lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV that a female Pokémon in their gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s first partner Pokémon are the only partner Pokémon where all of the members appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]: [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]]'s, and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]]'s.
** The {{p|Charmander}} line also appears alone in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar]] regional Pokédex, while the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines appear in the [[Isle of Armor]] regional Pokédex.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved first partner Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The lowest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully evolved first partner Pokémon is {{p|Torterra}}'s {{stat|Speed}}, at 56. The highest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully evolved first partner Pokémon is {{p|Primarina}}'s {{stat|Special Attack}}, at 126.
* Since both first partner Pokémon in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] are always male, this had the outcome of preventing players from obtaining {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation III]] (by [[trade|trading]] with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and [[breeding]]) until the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The Pikachu featured in Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and the Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are the only first partner Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which they are first partner Pokémon.
** Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s respective first partners are also the only ones that cannot be traded to other games.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type first partner Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type first partner Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* With the exception of Hisuian Decidueye having a higher base stat total than Hisuian Samurott, no fully evolved Grass-type first partner Pokémon has a higher base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** By contrast, with the exception of Blaziken having a lower base stat total than Swampert, no fully evolved Fire-type first partner Pokémon has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Contrarily, no unevolved Grass-type first partner Pokémon besides {{p|Chespin}} has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Similarly, no unevolved Fire-type first partner has a higher base stat total than either its counterparts and no fully evolved Fire-type first partner besides {{p|Blaziken}} has a lower one.
* All fully evolved Water-type first partners can learn the HM moves {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Waterfall}}.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the first partner Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but two of the Grass-type first partner Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}}, and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type first partner from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}, and the Grass-type first partner from Galar, {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, is instead owned by [[Goh]].
* Each {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock's {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} chose to join him. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull, and Goh caught his {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} without battling it. In [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]], [[Dot]]’s {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} chose to join her team as her [[first Pokémon]], although she is not a main character.
* The Hoenn first partner set is the first set in which all three Pokémon evolve under the care of the main characters who own them.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the first partner Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds. They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second first partner Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These first partner Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the ''Diamond and Pearl'' series, there have been two major appearances of each fully evolved first partner introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and [[Kenny's Empoleon]].
* Every Fire-type first partner obtained by a main character has evolved at least once.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type first partner that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.
* The Kanto first partners are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and a {{TP|May|Wartortle}}, while Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.
* The Johto first partner set is the only full first partner set that Ash has obtained where none of the members were previously owned by another Trainer or a Pokémon Professor, as all of them were caught in the wild.
** Conversely, the Kanto first partner set is the only full first partner set that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous Trainer.
* The Galar first partner set is the only full first partner set from which Ash owns none of its members.

Hydration (Ability)

2024-04-11T19:38:40Z

Silverlucario: I don't see how this is notable enough for its own bullet point when it's shown in the chart + not a unique case

'''Hydration''' (Japanese: '''うるおいボディ''' ''Moist Body'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
At the end of each turn, if it is [[rain]]ing, Hydration will cure the Pokémon of any [[Status condition#Non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition]]. If it cures a status condition, it does so before {{status|burn}} or {{status|poison}} damage is dealt on that turn. Pokémon who are made drowsy by {{m|Yawn}} will not fall asleep until after Hydration takes effect, and as such, will not be healed until the end of the next turn.

===Outside of battle===
Hydration has no effect outside of battle.

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

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[TR|Technical Record]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]], and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.

Mew was first officially revealed in the May 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]]<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-5.html</ref>, less than two months after [[Pokémon Red and Green]] were released in Japan.

==Biology==
Mew is a pink, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope.

Mew has shown a playful, childish personality, showing signs of high intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. It is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. This causes many scientists to theorize that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon. It is an incredibly adaptable species, capable of levitation and teleportation. It can use almost all known Moves, regardless of their [[Type]]s. It has also shown the rare power to {{m|Transform|transform into all known Pokémon}}. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people. As seen on several occasions, it has the ability to create an orb of energy around itself for protection, which can come in many colors, such as green, yellow, and pink.

In [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, scientists who managed to gather some of Mew's DNA used it to create a modified clone of it, aiming to create the most powerful Pokémon of all, resulting in the creation of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Mewtwo}}. [[Pokémon Mansion journals|Reports]] found in Pokémon Mansion note scientific expeditions in which Mew was sighted. Since Mew can make itself invisible, very few people have {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|seen it}}, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. However, sightings of it are still being reported to this day. Even though it's rarely seen, it will show itself to a person who is pure of heart and has a strong desire to see it. In the [[JN134|anime]], it has shown to be capable of splitting to transform into two Pokémon at the same time. It has also shown a strong rivalry with its clone, [[Mewtwo (M01)|Mewtwo]].

According to the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', Mew was discovered by [[Jessie]]'s mother, [[Miyamoto]], who registered its cry in a forest 20 years before the events of the games. It was worshiped for its protection by ancient people who created a song in its honor and believed it appeared once a year with the rising sun. It wasn't rediscovered until 18 years after Miyamoto met Mew by sunrise on the peak of a high mountain.

Mew is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}.

[[File:SSBB Mew.png|thumb|200px|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew will sometimes appear out of a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single-player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 15,000 points.

After unlocking every character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

Mew returns in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] and comes out of a Poké Ball (rarely) and/or Master Ball (rare, but less rare than a Poké Ball).

Mew returns yet again in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], once again as a rare Poké Ball summon, but also as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

Throughout the series, Mew, much like Mewtwo, is roughly akin to its portrayal in [[M01|the first movie]], especially having Kōichi Yamadera reprise his role.
{{-}}
====Melee trophy information====
''Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.''
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''
{{-}}
[[File:Mew_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mew trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
Mew appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

'''NA''': ''Mew is a Pokémon previously thought to be extinct but rediscovered by [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]]. This Legendary Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it is considered quite lucky to see one. In Smash Bros., Mew will appear and then use Fly to sail away, leaving behind a gift. Thanks, Mew! ''

'''PAL''': ''Mew was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered by Dr. Fuji in Guyana. This Mythical Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it's considered very lucky to see one. In this game, it will float upwards and leave a present behind. If only Mew would turn up more often, eh?''
{{-}}
[[File:SnapMew.png|thumb|Mew in [[Pokémon Snap]]]]

==={{g|Snap}}===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest-ranking Pokémon in the game with the highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size, and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mew plays a key role in the post game.
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the {{ga|PokéPark}}. He then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained, Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where he plays. In this game, Mew is referred to as male, despite having {{DL|gender|unknown gender}} in the [[core series]].

===Pokédex entries===
The Pokédex entry from Japanese [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] had some localization changes:

* 「いまでもまぼろしのポケモンといわれる。そのすがたをみたものはぜんこくでもほとんどいない。」 (''It is still called a Mythical Pokémon. Its shape was seen by almost no one in the entire country.''){{sup/1|B}}{{sup/3|LG}}
*: This entry uses the Japanese term for [[Mythical Pokémon]] (literally: ''Illusory Pokémon''), but it predates the definitive [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|split between Legendary and Mythical]] in English media. The localization calls Mew a "mirage" instead.
*: In the localization, Mew is said to be a mirage by "many experts". However, the Japanese text does not mention any experts.
*: In Japanese, it is said that almost no one has seen Mew in the entire country ({{ruby|全国|ぜんこく}}). In English, this was changed to "worldwide".

==Trivia==
[[File:Mew Discovery Date.png|thumb|right|Mew's discovery date.]]
* Mew was designed by Shigeki Morimoto, which he states at the [[Heahea City]] [[GAME FREAK]] office. This included its pixel art, cry and Pokédex entry (the one reused in {{g|FireRed}}). He also says it was right at the very end of game development.
* Despite being a clone of Mew, {{p|Mewtwo}} appears before Mew in the [[Pokédex]].
* Mew is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]. This may be because Mew still wasn't announced outside of Japan at that time.
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, due to technical limitations, Mew's [[Pokémon category|category name]], ''New Species'', is labeled in game as ''NEW SPECIE'' (and in early versions, labeled as ''NEWSPECIES'').
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even [[Nintendo]] was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref name=IwataAsks>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon/0/0/ Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>
** According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.<ref name=IwataAsks/> However, Pokémon Red and Green are 373 kilobytes in size and are housed in 512 kilobyte cartridges.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-file-size-every-core-game/ The File Size Of Every Core Pokemon Game] - ''The Gamer''.</ref><ref>https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon_Red_and_Blue</ref>
** In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, Shigeki Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 134, July 2000, p.78-79 ([http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php excerpt])</ref>
* In the [[core series]], Mew can only be fought as a [[wild Pokémon]] on [[Faraway Island]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However, this requires the [[Old Sea Map]], an [[event item]] only distributed in Japan and Taiwan.
* Mew has the most anime opening appearances of any Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Because Mew can learn any TM:
** It is the only [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon species that is legitimately able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and one of the few that can learn {{m|Attract}}. Both moves fail when used by any Pokémon with unknown gender, including Mew.
** It is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, {{m|Water Pledge}}, and {{m|Steel Beam}} that doesn't share a type with the move.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear; in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251; and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in [[Generation I]], 251 in [[Generation II]], and 493 in [[Generation IV]]).
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* The US release of Mew as an event for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* In 2012, Mew was voted the most popular Legendary/Mythical Pokémon in the {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}, which consisted of all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s.
* Mew started the trend of every generation until [[Generation VI]] introducing a Mythical Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.
* At 981 episodes (and over two decades), Mew is the Pokémon species that has taken the longest to physically debut in the main anime series from the start of their generation out of any Pokémon thus far.
* The only ways to legitimately obtain a {{Shiny}} Mew are via the Generation II {{DL|List of PCNY event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|Shiny Mew|Gotta Catch Em All Event}} in Thanksgiving 2002, the [[Old Sea Map]] on a Japanese copy of {{game|Emerald}}, or through the [https://www.leekduck.com/shiny-mew-masterwork-research/ Pokémon Go Mew Masterwork Research] quest, which was available for a limited time in Pokémon GO during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and then became available again for players who missed purchasing it the first time for a few days in early July 2023.
** Only the latter two can exist in modern games, as Gen II's "Gotta Catch Em All" Shiny Mew cannot legitimately be [[transfer|transferred]] to Generation III or later.
** Mew is the only Pokémon that can be shiny while having the Mightiest [[Mark]].
* Mew is tied with {{p|Muk}} for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
** Mew has the shortest Korean name of all Pokémon, only consisting of one hangul character.
* Mew is the only Pokémon obtainable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] that cannot have the [[Pokémon GO]] [[origin mark]] ([[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO origin mark]]) in said games.
* Mew is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in Generation I.
* As of [[Generation IX]], Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that does not appear in any regional Pokédex other than [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Fusion Strike}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolFusion Strike.png|30px]] resembles Mew's tail surrounded by [[Dynamax]] clouds.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Designer Shigeki Morimoto stated that Mew's design was based on Mewtwo. Its design was made simpler than Mewtwo in order to take up less space on the cartridge.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyXDpFd1CQk The Untold Origin Story of Mythical Pokémon "Mew" and "Mewtwo"! (Game Freak "Secret Base" #39)] - Game Freak Official YouTube Channel (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/game-freaks-shigeki-morimoto-on-mew-why-it-was-initially-rare-design-more/ Game Freak’s Shigeki Morimoto on Mew – why it was initially rare, design, more] - ''Nintendo Everything''.</ref>

Appearance wise, Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based on domestic {{wp|cat}}s. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in Japan's Red and Green resembled a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}, featuring a large head and small body. It is believed by scientists to be the {{wp|last universal common ancestor}} of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms.

====Name origin====
Mew may be a combination of ''{{wp|mutant}}'' or ''{{wp|mutation}}'' and ''new''. It may also involve 妙 ''myō'' (wonderful, exquisite).

According to Julien Bardakoff, the French localizer for Pokémon Red and Blue, he asked if Mew's name was based on the English onomatopoeia for a cat's meow, and was explicitly told it was not.<ref>[https://www.liberation.fr/apps/2016/06/pokemon/ Libération.fr – Pokémon, traduisez-les tous]</ref>

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

Lugia is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}}, its remake {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], appearing on the boxart of them all.

Lugia and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are often collectively referred to as the [[tower duo]] by fans. It is also often viewed as the [[Legendary group|leader]] of the [[legendary birds]] due to its role in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}.

Lugia has a unique {{pkmn2|variant}} called '''[[Shadow Lugia]]''', codenamed '''XD001''', that appeared in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

==Biology==
[[File:Lugia plates.png|thumb|left|250px|Lugia folding back its plates]]
Lugia is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|dragon}}, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has pointed teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia's eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body. Dark blue or black plate-like protrusions run down the length of its back, and there are two smaller, more pointed ones on the end of its tail.

Lugia can fold back these plates to increase its speed. Lugia is covered in {{a|Multiscale|many scales that protect it from attacks}}. It has large wings that resemble hands. Though it is gender unknown, as depicted in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', [[Silver (Lugia)|a young Lugia]] has been seen, suggesting there is a breeding population, at least in the anime's timeline. In the same episode, Lugia has been shown to be fiercely protective of its young.

Lugia leads the [[legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear a regular house down. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. Lugia is capable of splitting islands like the [[Whirl Islands]] into smaller islands. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It is extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare}} and is hardly ever seen. Lugia has been referred to as the ''guardian of the seas''. There are rumors Lugia would appear during the night of a storm. Lugia loves [[Lugia Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aeroblast}}.

;Shadow Lugia
A unique variant of Lugia that has jagged silver eye-spikes, a dark-purple body with white undersides, and glowing red eyes. It also has sharper toes that resemble claws, as well as a longer, more pointed tongue. Additionally, due to the shape of Lugia's back plates on its 3D models being changed after [[Generation IV]], Shadow Lugia now posesses a unique design for them.

Shadow Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Blast}}.

=====[[Lugia (anime)]]=====
Lugia made its main series debut in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'', where a silhouetted Lugia saved {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} from being sucked into a whirlpool. It later turned out to be the parent of [[Silver (Lugia)|Silver]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''.

====={{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}=====
A young Lugia, [[nickname]]d Silver by {{jo|Oliver}}, lived near [[Ogi Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''The Mystery is History'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

After a brief {{pkmn|battle}}, the shadow Hoopa eventually portaled it back to its home in the sea.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Lugia had a significant role in [[Fula City]]'s history, as the one who gives Fula City a wind as told in the history.

{{main|Tower duo (Adventures)}}
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Masked Man Lugia.png|thumb|200px|Lugia in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice, given that its [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]] was shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{adv|Green}}. However, both times, it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

In ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]'', the Kanto [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using Lugia, which appeared as a spirit above [[Cerise Island]] in response to the energy produced by [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. It appeared as a being of shimmering light that [[Lance]] summoned it to aid his schemes. After he was defeated, the spirit flew to the [[Johto|west]]. In ''[[PS145|Sandslash Surprise]]'', it was properly identified as Lugia.

[[File:Lugia SSBB.png|thumb|250px|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Lugia will fly up out of the stage and return in the background, where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on a section of the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
''The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as 'guardian of the seas,' it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Lugia 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Lugia trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Lugia appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

'''NA''': ''Despite being a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. Legend says the flapping of Lugia's wings can create storms that last up to 40 days. It's impossible to know for sure, but in Smash Bros., Lugia definitely brings a storm with its Aeroblast attack.''

'''PAL''': ''Despite being a Psychic- and Flying-type, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. It's said that if it were to flap its wings on waking up, it could cause a storm lasting 40 days. No one can say whether that's true or not, but Lugia's attacks certainly make it seem so. It flies behind the stage and creates a mighty gust of wind with its Aeroblast attack.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Lugia returns as Poké Ball summon. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lugia Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Lugia in Pokémon Battle Chess]]

* [[Takeshi Shudo]], script writer for [[M02|the second movie]], created the character of Pokémon X for the movie as a new Pokémon that symbolizes ocean currents.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo187.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第187回]</ref> This role was ultimately filled by Lugia, whose name and design were created by someone else.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo188.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第188回]</ref> Shudo was surprised when Lugia later showed up in the Pokémon {{pkmn|games}}, having expected it to be exclusive to the movie.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo206.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第206回]</ref><ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/takeshi-shudo-ending-pokemon/ Pokemon’s Head Writer: Booze, Pills, and Ending Ash’s Story – Lava Cut Content]</ref>
** A [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtaA1aUXUAgEVyz?format=jpg&name=medium concept art] made by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the second movie depicts Lugia with an X-shaped motif on its stomach and only six plates on its back.
** In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X".
** Perhaps coincidentally, it also is known by its codename, '''X'''D001, in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]—also long before its true identity is revealed.
* [[Shigeki Morimoto]] said in an interview for the Nintendo DREAM November 2009 issue that Lugia was made a {{t|Psychic}} type instead of a {{t|Water}} type because they wanted to give it a stronger impression.
** Despite not being a Water type, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|Trading Card Game]].
* In Gold and Silver, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[Legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Lugia's [[Generation IV]], {{gen|V}}, and {{gen|VI}} Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a biblical reference to {{wp|Noah's Ark}}.
* When Lugia's Shiny form is shown in {{g|Stadium 2}}, it is pale green rather than pink.
* Lugia appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. Alongside Ho-Oh, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Lugia's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
* The Tin Tower event file from March 1999 marks the earliest of Lugia's appearances in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
[[File:SetSymbolSilver Tempest.png|60px|thumb|Silver Tempest set symbol]]
* Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only Legendary Pokémon that are [[game mascot]]s that are not version-exclusives in their representative games.
* Despite being strongly associated with the sea, Lugia does not appear in the sea at [[Pal Park]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Silver Tempest}} expansion resembles Lugia's silhouette.

===Origin===
Lugia's aquatic tendencies could relate it to {{wp|plesiosauria|plesiosaurs}} and aquatic birds. It is also possible that it may be based on ''{{wp|Ryūjin}}'', a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the {{wp|Shinto}} god of the sea. The two have similarities in mythology, and Lugia's {{Shiny}} colors (red and white) are the same colors as the coral {{wp|Ryūgū-jō|''Ryūjin''{{'}}s palace}} was made of. In addition, it is worth noting that {{wp|Chinese dragon|dragon}} (yang, male) and {{wp|Fenghuang|Chinese phoenix}} (yin, female) duality is prevalent in Eastern mythology, and Ho-Oh is the Japanese name of the Fenghuang (Chinese phoenix). In keeping with this, Lugia resembles a {{wp|wyvern}}, a variety of dragons with a single set of forelimbs that serve as wings. Its avian body, coloration, and face-markings suggest that it may be somewhat based on the {{wp|grey heron}}. Its rounded feet resemble those of {{wp|grebes}}, a family of diving birds. The {{wp|beluga whale}}, a white whale with similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for its design and name. It might also be based on {{wp|Bahamut}} (giant fish), and Bahamut is often being portrayed as a dragon-like creature in modern fantasy, hence its fish-like and dragon-like appearance.

====Name origin====
Lugia may be derived from ἄργυρος ''árguros'' (Ancient Greek for silver). It may also involve ''{{wp|Beluga whale|beluga}}'', ''deluge'', ''luna'', and ''Lutīyā'' (early name for the {{wp|Bahamut}}).

Silverlucario: /* Re: Cat origin */ new section

==Mew's abilities==

In the first movie, mew used a bubble of pink psychic energy to save Ash. It also utilized this ability several other times throughout the movie. However, this is not stated in the "special abilities" section, alhtough what is stated is that mew can create forcefields. Forcefields and pink bubbles are two different things, this is best shown by the contrast between Mew "forcefield" in pokemon snap (which is also yellow/green) and Mew's Bubble in the first movie. So does anyone mind if I add in the bit about the pink bubbles? {{unsigned|Wikid}}

No, please do so. Add a picture if you feel like it. Just make sure it meets quality standards. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 23:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mew doesn't listen? ==

Mew doesn't listen to its original trainer? Is this true? --[[User:Pluvia|Pluvia]] 20:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
:If you hack it in Gen III or IV, yes. Same with Deoxys. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:59, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this always the case? I've seen a hacked Mew (Gen IV) that (according to the owner) is completely obedient. Could this be because the friendship level is so high, or is it just a fluke? [[User:Featherflame|Featherflame]] 20:51, 8/10/07

Mew and Deoxys are obedient in Gen IV even if they're hacked. [[User:Vereux0|Vereux0]] 20:08, 8/20/07

In Gen III, Mew and Deoxys have an obediance bit. If this is missing, they won't obey. It is possible to hack a Mew or Deoxys and have it obey. To answer the question, it depends on how it's hacked. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]
:And the obedience bit is automatically turned on when they get transferred over through Pal Park, I believe. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

If a mew that is transfered from a GBA game that was hacked to get it,will it corrupt the D/P game? And will it listen? I'm just asking. [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:MAXDude17]]
:Hmmm...I just tested this in diamond with an action replay thingy (don't worry i deleted the mew right after) and it works fine. Obeys and everything. -- [[User:Salome|Salome]] 23:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

There is no obedient bit in Diamond/Pearl. It was a feature that was intentionally removed. [[User:Sabresite|Sabresite]] 08:18, 24 March 2009 (GMT)

=== Later discussion ===
The Mew Glitch is a perfectly legitimate way to capture Mew, considering the fact that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] programmed it in on purpose.
[[User:MasterZ|MasterZ]] ([[User talk:MasterZ|talk]])

:He didn't program in the Mew glitch; he programmed in the Pokemon Mew itself. The glitch is not intrinsically related to Mew itself; it was only named as such because it happened to become famous for being a non-hacking way to obtain Mew. It doesn't belong in the Game Locations section because literally every Generation I Pokemon (and, to my knowledge, every Gen I glitch Pokemon as well) can be obtained via the glitch.

== I must be insane.... ==

Ok so Arceus tottaly conflicts with with mew but arceus came from an egg. What if mew was the egg and therefor is the ancestor of all pokemon mew just didnt "create" any new pokemon. In fact it was never even mentioned (to my knowlage) that he did. So therefor mew remains to look like a embryo (catching drift egg) and we shall never know~kittenchild
:which came first, the {{tt|Arceus|Chicken}} or the {{tt|Mew|Egg}}? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Well by my theory and using the myths it states that "...at the heart of chaos where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the original one." This states that the egg came before arceus. {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

::Arceus was born from the cosmic Egg, but Mew contains the DNA of all Pokémon. It can be assumed that Arceus is the Creator and first Pokémon, but Mew is the common ancestor (assuming Arceus wasn't like Zeus who went spreading his genes all over the landscape).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

oh and by this theory im not saying arceus didnt create the pokemon universe im saying mew didnt realy "create" anything he just kinda was there... and his Dna is in everything (pokemon of course) {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}
:Mew's Pokadex entry says that it is the ancestor of ALL Pokamon. And Arceus is the fat ass who created EVERYTHING (I then assume this includes <s>Mewtwo</s> Mew too). So, did Mew evolve into Arceus? Or did Arceus create Mew? It's all very confusing. Posted by the '''[[User:Optimus35|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''08:06 21 May 2008'''''

Arceus created Mew, then Mew created/whatever/evolved(evolved as in Apes into Humans, not Bulbasaur into Ivysaur)/mutated into other Pokémon. Maybe thats how it happened? [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 09:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

::Hmm...errr...This is getting confusing!

::::...I know Arceus is a Pokémon i was just saying :\ Look. The way i see it, Arceus came first, created Mew, and Mew became the other Pokémon (not like, the Legendaries). Just because it's the ancestor of all Pokémon doesn't mean it's the ansector of the God Pokémon, i'm sure Mew isn't the ancestor of the Legendaries as it says Arceus created Palkia, Diagla and Giratina and some others (if i remember rightly!). [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 15:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No noo noo. I meant mew hatched arceus (being the egg and all) and therefor because mew "created" (not realy) arceus' gentic meterial then arceus went to create the rest of the pokemon that genetic meterial caried over and mew never realy did squat... {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

Ok, this is what happened. First come Arceus. He say "I wanna Dialga and Palkia." And he made them. Next he say "Now i want universe." So he made universe. Next he say "I want living things." So he made Mew who laid eggs of Pokémon, and live-birthed humans. They all got up, but they each had no souls. Arceus say "Imma gonna give you souls." So he maid the lake trio who gave them all souls. Arceus fell asleep. Teh end. You can quote me on that. [[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 16:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:But Mew's Pokédex entry states that it's the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Here's what I think happened:
#The egg of Arceus is created from the chaos.
#The egg hatches.
#The eggshell, which was made of genetic material, forms into Mew. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Arceus.)
#Arceus creates Dialga and Palkia. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Dialga and Palkia.)
#Arceus creates Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.)
#Mew's descendants are all slightly different, and their descendants are slightly more different, and so on, until there are all of the different species of Pokémon. (This makes Mew the ancestor of all other Pokémon.)

--[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 00:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:The Pokédex in ''Diamond & Pearl'' doesn't specifically state that Mew may be the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Just that many scientists believe that it's the ancestor of Pokémon... ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You have to admit, it may be that Arceus created Mew, then Mew created the rest of the Pokémon. At least, that's what it looks like.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:That's the idea I had as well. Arceus took to slumber after creating reality and Mew created all other Pokémon. Perhaps Arceus created all Legendaries and Mew created the rest. Sinnoh myths only mention Dialga and Palkia and the Lake Trio because most people don't know of the other Legendary Pokémon of the region, and they probably wouldn't know of another region's Legendaries. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 20:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: It's subjects like this that just make you wish you could get Tajiri to do an interview r something...([[User:Fossilgojira|Fossilgojira]] 21:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC))
Yeah, only a few people in Sinnoh know about other Legendaries living in their own backyard like Cresselia and Heatran. The book in Canalave City apparently refers to Arceus as the "Original One", meaning that Arceus came before Mew.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: General consensus is all that is indicated by the Pokedex. Arceus is known to have created Palkia and Dialga, who in turn created the universe, while he created Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, who are credited with the creation of "spirit". This obviously makes them the progenitors of pokemon and humans. It's also worth noting that they all bear a more-than-superficial resemblance to Mew, all being extraordinarily powerful psychic pokemon. Mew, I believe, was their first collaborative creation, combining the essences of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower into a single entity. It was unstable, so as it laid eggs, they hatched into things that definitely were NOT Mew. That instability diluted acrost generations until pokemon species were all stable (except, of course, Mew). The exemptions to this origin are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio, for obvious reasons; Giratina, likely spontaneously creating itself upon the first death; and Darkrai, created gradually by psychoses, rage, and bad pizza forming nightmares. Shaymin most likely IS Mew-descended as we have no reason to think otherwise. Forgive me for talking so heavily in-universe, and remember all this is prefaced with "I believe...". [[User:SixthFlyingMan|SixthFlyingMan]] 03:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Also, Cresselia, she was formed of good dreams rather than nightmares, and not of Mew. [[User:SixthFlyingMan|SixthFlyingMan]] 06:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Mew is stated to have all the Pokémon's DNA. A literal understanding makes one believe Arceus' DNA is included, but one must think of the difficulty of obtaining a DNA sample from a Pokémon in another dimension. Mew is a scientific reason for all these little criters while Arceus seems to be a more religiopus explanation (though it never said it created any Pokémon apart from the Sinnoh legends)

Beginning of universe
Arceus comes into being.
Arceus creates the dragon trio and the lake trio.
Giratina disappears into the Ruined World.
Dialga and Palkia create matter, space, and time.
Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit create spirit.
Arceus falls into a deep sleep.
Creation of Pokémon world
Groudon is formed from magma, Kyogre is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, Rayquaza is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
Groudon brings the land, Kyogre expands the sea.
Mew is born.
Groudon and Kyogre battle, destroying nearly all the Hoenn region.
Rayquaza stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Pokémon were fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of Mt. Chimney. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of Mt. Pyre to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.
Rayquaza had fallen into a deep sleep and sealed away into the ancient Sky Pillar.
Mt. Coronet is created.
Regigigas moves the continents.
The Sinnoh region is created around Mt. Coronet
Stark Mountain is created, Heatran is formed from lava. --[[Mew (Pokémon)|M]][[User:MyUU|yU]][[User talk:MyUU|U]] 18:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

This topic has filled up with wonderful speculation (come on, seriosuly? Arceus's egg becoming Mew?), but it hardly matters because there is no conflict. Please note that NEVER has it ever been said that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon; in a Dex entry it said that was ''believed'' to be true because it contains every Pokémon's DNA. So, Arceus was first, and it created Mew (I would guess) with all of that DNA. Oh, and Myuu, I applaud your history. It's nice. ;) [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 23:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

So... What if Mew was the first one? I mean, Arceus could have made universe, time, space, dimentions, etc. but mew made dialga, palkia, giratina... Also, life was made by mew, earth was made by the weather trio, and the life in it was made by mew, so it is the ancestor of everyone, maybe arceus doesnt have mews dna, as noone in the pokemon world knows about it... so scientist could say that of the 492 pokemon known, mew has dna of every... couldn't it be?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Kamusioso|Kamusioso]] ([[User talk:Kamusioso|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kamusioso|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Here`s my opinion: It is possible that Mew was the first pokemon created by Arceus, and therefore has the DNA of all the OTHER pokemon. If it had Arceus` DNA, then scientists in the pokemon world would technically know it exists (please excuse any spelling errors)--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight_the_ampharos]] 02:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, we don't know if the PokeDex is right, I mean, Oak doesn't know EVERYTHING. Also, no one ever caught Mew, so we don't know if it has all of the DNA of all of the pokemon. I think Arceus created the universe,and the dragon trio and the lake trio, and Arceus set the chain of events that would create the 'nature' Legendaries, like Groudon coming from magma, ect. But what about Deoxys? Where did Deoxys come from. In the anime it says from outer space. So, that would mean that Palkia would have created Deoxys, and Raquaza. {{unsigned|Shadow lucario}}

:First off, Palkia does NOT represent Outer Space. It represents "Space", as in, wormholes, fabrics (Not clothes fabrics, Science fabrics.), "Space/Time Continuum", etc. Secondly, considering how Arceus is listed to be a Pokemon in the Pokedex, not to mention it's data is easily recorded into the Pokedex as well, most likely researchers DO know about Arceus' existance (not just believing, actually knowing it exists and having samples of it's DNA.). So they didn't capture Mew, big whoop. They identified it in the Pokedex, nonetheless. I still think it's Mew who created Arceus, and until they actually clarify what they meant for starting this debate, we still have to think that Arceus was a genetic descendant of Mew, considering Mew's mentions of containing the DNA of Pokemon (Yes, it technically doesn't say "All" in there, but it doesn't say "Some", "Few", "Many", or any of those restrictive nouns either. Plus, using generalizations (Like just saying Pokemon), regardless of whether it actually says "all" or not, usually implies that it's meaning all.

Good point, but as the pokédex states that "many scientists '''believe''' Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon" and Arceus that it is told/described in '''mythology''', my point being that Mew is scientific theory and Arceus its just a myth that he created the universe, just like Zeus. - AOS

I didn't read most of everything said, i just thought i'd put in my bits. Mew seems to me like the "Evolution" in pokemon: they're all evolved down from Mew, because he is the embryo. Like, Mew is the Darwin pokemon they've all evolved from (not pokemon evolution, but Darwin evolution). Arceus, on the other hand, is more of a God figure, which contradicts Evolution. So like... i don't see how they fit in the same world, but Pokemon is quite the odd game, haha!

I'm not so sure that when the programmers put "mew gave birth" into the diary, that that's what they literally meant.

==Initial Design==
I was reading up on Mew over on Wikipedia (they sometimes have more real-world information that I consider more interesting than the in-game stuff) and came across some information that I'm not quite sure if I should believe. It's generally believed that Tajiri secretly designed and inserted Mew into the programming, though Wikipedia claims this:

"Unlike other characters in the Pokémon franchise, Mew was not initially conceived by Ken Sugimori, but by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto. Morimoto programmed Mew into the game secretly, just prior to its release in Japan, intending it to be a Pokémon Game Freak staff members would know about and be able to obtain.[2] However, in the spring of 1996, Game Freak president Satoshi Tajiri used the Japanese manga journal Korokoro Comic as an experimental exhibition of Mew and distributed the first cards for the game as free giveaways,[3] which surprised many at Game Freak, including Morimoto.[2] Due to the success of the experiment on April 15, 1996, Game Freak announced a contest to publicly release Mew to 151 winners.[4] Tajiri described using Mew to create hype around an "invisible character" within the game and to keep interest alive in the title and create rumors and myths about the game passed around by word of mouth,[5] which resulted in increased sales for the game.[6]"

This quotation seems to suggest that a Shigeki Morimoto (who doesn't have an article here) designed Mew in an attempt to have some special secret for the designers, which was then turned into a marketing ploy by Tajiri. Now, if something like this were true I'd be inclined to believe Bulbapedia would have the information for this, yet it doesn't seem to.

The information to confirm or deny this is found on reference [2], yet the page is in Japanese so I cannot read it. All the other citations suggest it was solely Tajiri that planned and implemented Mew. So, can anyone help me with a little research and figure this out?

== Not two Mews ==

Never does it say that the Mew in movie 8 is different from the Mew in movie 1. They are one in the same unless you can prove otherwise. Since Mew was the first Pokemon it is unique.

:It's two ''separate'' until proven otherwise. Yes, nothing says they're different, but nothing too says they're the same.

Umm no. Mew has been specifically stated to be the 1st Pokemon and one of a kind in several sources. Ergo there is only one. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. THE MEW. Hence only one exists. Legendary's are supposed to be one of a kind unless later disproven. Mew is ONE UNIQUE Pokemon. More sources and media points to One Mew than two seperate Mews.

:Games =/= Anime. And these two Mew have completely different voice actors. If they were the same, it's very unlikely they would have switched actors. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 09:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Umm correct me if Ima wrong but didn't Ash change voice actors? And since when does the voice acting matter in the characters themselves? And even though Games=anime that doesn't rule out that MORE games point to the same conclusion than the fewer anime canon sources. And your forgetting official handbooks and pokedexes that have been released over the years. All pointing out that Mew is unique. Hence once more there is no real proof that these Mew are different. In fact it's MORE likely they are the same once you see that Movie 8 own plot. Mew is at the tree because it's in danger. That's it. Movie 1 no danger so Mew can move around as it pleases. It makes sense and keeps with MAJORITY canon. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 11:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:On the voice actor thing: Mew uses its Japanese voice. There was no voice actor change in the original Japanese, because there was no company change. Not only that, but the actor that played the Mew in movie 1 actually worked on Movie 8 - He was Sir Aaron. If they were meant to be the same, he'd have likely voiced Mew in movie 8 as well. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::A different actor doesn't mean the character is different... it's quite common to switch actors in movies and stuff. Like, there have been several different actors who have played James Bond and several different actors who have played Bruce Wayne, etc., and these are always portraying the same character (in other words, there aren't multiple British agents named "James Bond" with the number 007 or multiple millionaires living in Gotham going by the name "Bruce Wayne"). Yes, I admit that it's odd that a new actor would be used when the old actor who is capable of playing Mew is working on the same movie, but that still doesn't necesarily make them different characters. That being said, I do think that they are separate. The Mew in the eighth movie used Transform -- an attack that the Mew in the first movie was never shown to have. Perhaps this is because Mew had no reason to Transform in the first movie, but I find it more likely that it's because she was unable to... and Transform is learned at a low level so there's no way she could have just learned it between the two movies. I haven't seen enough of the eighth movie to have any more of an opinion on it, but I think that one detail is enough. Also, it is certainly possible that there could be two Mews in the anime... unlike the games, the legendary Pokémon in the anime are not "one of a kind" (well, not all of them anyway).

== Theory on the Origin Of all Pokémon ==

I have been thinking on this for a while. Consider the relationship between Mew and Ditto.
They both have the same coloration, even their Shiny forms. They are the only Pokémon
to learn Transform (Smeargle via Sketch doesn't count).

So: Mew, all alone, creates a gel-like substance and begins to shape Arceus. Arceus creates
the 16 elemental Plates, then Mew combines the gel and the Plates with the assistance of
Arceus, shaping Dialga (Draco Plate, Iron Plate) Palkia (Draco Plate, Splash Plate), and
Giratina (Draco Plate, Spooky Plate). Those 3 shape Time, Space, and Distortion World,
respectively.

Mew lastly finishes making rest of the Pokémon, again with the gel and the Plates. Thus, we
have the universe and beings to inhabit it. The remaining gel turns into Ditto, keeping
the coloring of Mew and its ability to use Transform.

Anyone want to point out the holes in this theory? I know it's not 100% solid, but it
might be considered plausible, albeit the fact that there is almost zero evidence to
support it. [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:It's plausible, but the simple fact that it's a theory means it has no place on this page. It's similarities to Ditto are already stated in the trivia, otherwise, this is more forum material. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 03:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

==Mew to Ditto comparison==
It says that Mew and Ditto are the same colour... this is false. Ditto is Purple. I don't have a Mew in my Pokédex but I'm assuming she's Pink. I'm not editing it in case I read it wrong or something and it means something else, but someone should look into this (either correct it if it's wrong or clarify it because it doesn't make much sense).

==Mew first being made vs. the trademark==
I know similar things have been pointed out, but there's still a problem here... "''Tsunekaz Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.''" contradicts "''Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990''".

Completion of the game development (implying a working version of the game... not just concepts and ideas) definitely came later than 1990. So how could Mew's trademark have been applied for before he was even created? I am aware that companies sometimes trademark things that they don't plan on using, but trademarking a name means that there had to have been some sort of thought process behind it (like, if I was making an RPG I wouldn't just apply for trademarks willy-nilly on random names that have nothing to do with the game on the off-chance that I'll later create a character fitting the name).

The only way I can see these things as not contradicting each other would be if either one is inaccurate or if you were to interpret "created Mew" as "made the finishing touches on Mew" or "finalized the character" rather than the idea of "creating" Mew (as in, starting with nothing and just coming up with the whole idea 2 weeks before game development was finished). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:Only the trademark was issued in 1990. [[Satoshi Tajiri]] or someone else may have conceived Mew as a [[Capsule Monsters]] design (development on this first began in 1990), but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove that (at least no one seems to have access to the other 200+ 'Capumon' sketches). Capsule Monsters was actually quite a different concept to the game that would eventually become Pokémon, as the player was meant to live alongside Pokémon and players would rely on them (for example, they would use {{p|Lapras}} for transport) and they would help each other with tasks, as opposed to training them or collecting them for use in battle. The player was going to fight by himself at one point. (my source are some interviews translated by [http://www.glitterberri.com Glitterberri], but the site is unfortunately down at the moment). Mew could have also been something entirely different at the time.

:Yes, Mew was a "last minute" addition to {{2v2|Red|Green}}. It may have been an early design, but was actually programmed into the game very lately. Unlike {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, there isn't much free space available in Red and Green, because it's only a 512KB cartridge. According to an [http://web.archive.org/web/20101125182143/http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks interview] around the development of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there were some debugging features remaining in the game, so Morimoto removed those features to create 300 bytes of free space, and then placed some data for Mew in there. This may be supported by the [[Pokémon base stats data structure in Generation I#Storage|Pokémon base stats structure]], in which Mew's base stats are stored at offset 0x00425B. The base stats data normally follow on by Pokédex entry at 0x0383DE starting from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, yet Mew's base stats data do not follow on from {{p|Mewtwo}}. They do, however in {{game|Yellow}}. I suspect it's probably the same case in Red and Green, though I haven't checked. I personally believe Mew replaced one of the Missingno. occupying index number 21 (0x15). --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 13:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::Chances are Mew was designed well before the time it was put in the game. We already know that Missingno. used to be real Pokémon; Mew was likely one of the deleted 50, then undeleted.

Don't forget that Mew is mentioned in the diaries in Pokemon Mansion. I highly doubt those diaries were programmed into the game at the last minute. Also, Mew had to be the basis of the name and design of Mewtwo, which I also doubt was programmed into the game at the last minute.

mewtwo was formed out of a piece of Mew's DNA, some form of feather thing, which means it would of been studied before Mew - Camero56

Is there a reason that Black and White have two entries each in the in-game locations sections, yet Black2 and White2 are not entered?

== New 20th Anniversary Artwork ==

Since it is clearly Sugimori artwork, and colored/shaded in the style of Game Artwork, should we make it the new artwork of the page? This would be the precedent for all the other Mythical Pokémon as well, who will presumably get their solo artwork posted as well. Thoughts? (Also, it's the cutest Mew artwork to date.)

--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 05:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:No. The artwork used in the infobox is always the current main game artwork (except for special dates, as noted at the top of each species talk page when applicable). At this time, the artwork is simply promotional for the 20th Anniversary event, not their main artwork. If the promotional artwork for all of the 20th Anniversary Mythical Pokémon eventually become their official main artwork, only then they will be used as the head image in the infobox. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 19:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

== Mew only obeys when caught in specific place ==

i have a very dumb question
if im playing pokemon emerald and i change mew from their original island to, say, the starting town, and i catch them, will they still not obey, even if theyre practically the same? does it really need to be in their specific place to be considered 'legit'?

== Another possibility for the 1990 ミュー trademark ==
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere on this discussion page yet, so I figured I'd bring it up. On the topic of the name trademarks... do we know ''for sure'' if the trademark submitted in 1990 even has anything to do with Pokémon? Like... was the "ミュー" trademark submitted along with other early Pokémon names like the ones seen in some of the early art/beta screenshots, things related to the older "Capsule Monsters" title, or something along those lines?
I ask because there's another Nintendo creature that the "ミュー" trademark could've been for -- there was an enemy named "Myu" in Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, which released in 1987 in Japan and 1988 in the US. That enemy's name is written as "ミュー" in Japanese according to the Zelda wiki ([https://zeldawiki.org/The_Adventure_of_Link_Translations/Enemies]), just like the 1990 trademark.

== Including Mew Game Location for Let's Go Eevee And Pikachu ==

== Mew's Name Origin ==

In biological sciences worldwide, the Greek letter 'μ' (Mu) is used to represent the genetic mutation rate of a given population of organisms under various conditions.
Wouldn't it make more sense to suggest that Mew's name is derived from μ?

Granted, it's probably not incorrect to suggest that it's a derivative of 'mutant' or 'mutation', as that's no doubt why μ was chosen to represent this particular calcuation, but the connection to μ seems much cleaner and more likely. {{unsigned|Wixenstyx}}

:However, on the other hand, it looks like all the G1 Pokédex entries have been translated either in G1 itself or in FRLG. So, instead of adding Japanese text, maybe we could at least explain the localization changes like this in the Pokémon articles:
:* In the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, each Pokémon shares the same Pokédex entry. This entry was left untranslated in the localized [[Generation I]] games, until it was reused in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]] and localized into other languages.
:* In the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], a new Pokédex entry was introduced for each Pokémon. This entry was translated for both {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and also reused in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon LeafGreen]] (sometimes with minor wording changes in the latter).
:* The {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} was not released in English, but it uses the same Pokédex entries as the later game {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

Basically that says "well they say ''nya'' in Japanese", which is true, but they do know the Anglicism "mew". Mew looks feline enough.

== Re: Cat origin ==

So as of right now the article states that Mew appears to be based on domestic cats. Imo this is both too confident and not very accurate when looking at both the finer details and concept of the creature.

'''Points in favor of cat:'''

- The ears and face shape (although flat faces and small ears are common traits of prenatal mammals)

- The legs and feet, supposedly (to me these are not very cat-like as far as mammal legs go and are closer to something like a kangaroo or a rabbit)

- The long tail (again, there are more similar matches like the jerboa)

'''Points against:'''

- It has been officially stated to be based on Mewtwo's design, who is only cat-like if you really squint at it

- Its name is confirmed to not be based on a cat's meow/mew

- In-universe, it shares genetic traits of all Pokémon

The second list, to me, is stronger and is in favor of it being based on just a generalized embryonic or fetal creature, with no specific type of animal having any extra weight. This is clear in the original sprite and I do not believe Sugimori's softening of its features changes the design intent.
At the very least, "appears to be" is too strong of an assessment when we have Seel, a more clear-cut example of animal-to-Pokémon, using the "may be based on" wording.

Released Pokémon

2024-02-28T02:11:27Z

Silverlucario: Added info re: Eggs and their exception in Stadium 2

[[File:Ash Butterfree DP099.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} saying farewell to his {{AP|Butterfree}}]]
'''Released Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have been {{pkmn2|caught}} by a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but are sent back into the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

==In the core series==
In the [[core series]] Pokémon games, Pokémon can be released using the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. However, a Pokémon cannot be released if it is the only Pokémon in the player's [[party]]. Once the Pokémon is released, it is removed from the player's possession and cannot be encountered again. Releasing a Pokémon is useful if a player needs to free up space in the Pokémon Storage System. [[Pokémon Egg|Pokémon Eggs]] cannot be released within these games.

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, it's not possible to release the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] {{p|Pikachu}}, or any other Pikachu with the same [[original Trainer]] and original Trainer ID as the player. If the player tries to release it, Pikachu complains and the attempt fails, but this doesn't affect Pikachu's [[friendship]]. Pikachu may still be traded to another game and released there (including a separate Pokémon Yellow game with a different Trainer name and/or ID). If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolves into {{p|Raichu}}, and is traded back to its original game, it can be released normally in its original game.

Pikachu may be released normally like any other Pokémon in the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium}}, or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], connected to Pokémon Yellow via [[Transfer Pak]].

====Generations III–IV====
In [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], if the player attempts to release a Pokémon that is the only Pokémon in their party or PC that knows a certain [[HM]] move, it will immediately return. In Generation III, these moves are {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, they are Surf, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, as well as {{m|Fly}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

====Generation V onward====
Fusions of Pokémon (Black and White {{p|Kyurem}}, Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings {{p|Necrozma}}, and Ice Rider and Shadow Rider {{p|Calyrex}}) cannot be released unless separated.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], releasing Pokémon is also called transferring, like in Pokémon GO. A player can transfer up to 30 Pokémon at once to [[Professor Oak]], who will award one stat-specific [[Candy]] (of varying sizes) for each Pokémon transferred, each Candy's stat corresponding to what that Pokémon may yield if caught in the wild. For every 50 Pokémon of a common species the player transfers, Professor Oak will award a Candy specific to that Pokémon's species. After every transfer, Professor Oak will tell the player the total number of Pokémon that have been sent over.

The player's [[Partner Pokémon (game)|starter Pokémon]] and any [[party]] Pokémon cannot be transferred. Transferring a {{pkmn2|Shiny}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (other than {{p|Meltan}}<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exz3_3plffA</ref>) will first display the warning message "''Are you really sure you want to send this Pokémon? You can't get it back!''". Attempting to transfer a Pokémon marked as [[Marking|favorite]] will display a prompt asking the player if they want to unfavorite it first.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the {{player}} can release their Pokémon from the pastures, and may release multiple at once. Released Pokémon sometimes leave behind [[Grit Dust]], [[Grit Gravel]], [[Grit Pebble]], or [[Grit Rock]]s. If the player attempts to release a [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], or [[Shiny Pokémon]], a warning will appear, stating:

''You'll be releasing a very rare specimen.'' 
''Are you sure you wish to proceed?''

Until the story is finished, the player can't release {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} due to them being mandatory for the final battle.

==In the side series==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
{{main|PC (Stadium)#Pokémon|PC (Stadium) → Pokémon}}

In the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], there is an option to release Pokémon from the [[core series]] games connected via [[Transfer Pak]]. The first two Stadium games are only compatible with the [[Generation I]] games, while the third game is compatible with both Generation I and [[Generation II]] games. It is only possible to release Pokémon if the player has saved the core series game at a [[Pokémon Center]]. The player is able to release Pokémon from the [[party]], the [[Pokémon Storage System|Boxes]] in the core series game, and from the Boxes in the Stadium game cartridge.

* In the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the player is able to go from the [[main menu]] to the "Organize" and then the "Pokémon" screen, where the Release button is a waving hand symbol. When the player presses the Release button, the game displays a list with the party and the boxes. The player is required to select one of these places first, and then choose one or more Pokémon to release.
* In the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium}}, the player is able to go from the main menu to the Pokémon Lab. There is a [[PC]] at the lab, with an option "Pokémon". The Pokémon screen includes the Release button, which is a waving hand symbol like in the previous game.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player is able to go from the main menu to the [[White City]] and then to the Pokémon Lab. Like in the previous game, there is a [[PC]] in the lab, with an option "Pokémon". Unlike in the previous games, this time the Release button is an emoji moving to the side.

In the English Pokémon Stadium, as well as Stadium 2, the player's party is displayed by default on the left side, while the first Box is also available by default on the right side. The player may press the Release button and choose any Pokémon from the party, or alternate between left and right sides by pressing L and R. Alternatively, the player may choose any of the available places (party and Boxes) by using the options "Choose left Box" and "Choose right Box" (English Stadium) or "Check the window contents" (Stadium 2) prior to releasing Pokémon.

In all three Stadium games, once the player attempts to release a Pokémon, the game asks for confirmation. If the player agrees, a "Bye!" sound is heard and the Pokémon is released. Once the player presses B to leave the list of Pokémon, there are three options: "Save and quit", "Quit without saving", and "Cancel". The player is able to undo the act of releasing Pokémon by quitting without saving. However, once the player has released Pokémon and saved, that act is irreversible.

In the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, it's not possible to release the last Pokémon in the party. The act of pressing Release and then selecting the party results in an error message if there's only one Pokémon there. However, in the English Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2, it is possible to release the whole party and then move Pokémon from the Boxes to the party, or alternatively just release all Pokémon from the party and the Boxes. In these last two games, if the party is empty, the act of releasing Pokémon can't be saved—the option "Save and quit" becomes unavailable.

Even though the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} from {{game|Yellow}} is unable be released in its own game, it can be released normally like any other Pokémon in any of the three games of the Pokémon Stadium series. Similarly, Pokémon Eggs may be released in Pokémon Stadium 2 despite being unable to be released within any main series game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can choose to '''transfer''' a Pokémon to [[Professor Willow]]. Pokémon transferred to Professor Willow cannot be taken back, equivalent to releasing the Pokémon in the core series games. When a Pokémon is transferred to the professor, the player will receive a {{GO|Candy}} for that Pokémon's species. Players who have reached [[Trainer level|Level]] 31 (Level 40 prior to June 1, 2022) or higher have a chance of receiving a Candy XL when a Pokémon is transferred.

[[Transfer]]ring a Pokémon to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!]] or to [[Pokémon HOME]] has a similar effect to transferring to Willow, although 100 [[Trainer level|XP]] is also awarded in the former case.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}, the player can remove Pokémon from their team by saying farewell to them. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], this can be done by visiting them in their [[Friend Area]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], this can be done at the [[Chimecho Assembly]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], this can be done at the [[Quagsire Assembly]]. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], due to the removal of random recruitment, Pokémon cannot be removed once they have [[Connection Orb|connected]] with the player's team.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, if {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] are said farewell to from their [[Friend Area]] or [[Chimecho Assembly]], they will reappear in [[mystery dungeon|dungeon]]s again, unless they were recruited as a story event rather than by being defeated.

===Pokémon Ranger series===
In the Pokémon Ranger series, Pokémon are captured with the [[Capture Styler]] and are released automatically when they have performed a task such as aiding the player in battle or using their {{OBP|Field Move|Ranger}}, and can be released from the [[menu]]. The player is also forced to release a Pokémon if the player captures a Pokémon and exceeds the limit of Pokémon in their possession.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
In the [[Pokémon Rumble series]], the world consists of [[Toy Pokémon]] and they can be released via the [[menu]] for money.

===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In the end of the [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] storyline, [[Professor Oak]] encourages the {{OBP|player|Hey You, Pikachu!}} to release Pikachu back to [[Viridian Forest]]. Professor Oak tells the player that Pikachu is a wild Pokémon and would be happiest living with other wild Pokémon.

Once the player uses the PokéHelper to say "Goodbye!", there is a cutscene where Pikachu looks sad to leave at first, but then a group of other Pikachu welcome it back to the forest. Pikachu waves goodbye to the player and leaves.

===Pokémon Sleep===
In [[Pokémon Sleep]], the player can choose to '''send a Pokémon''' to [[Professor Neroli]]. Pokémon transferred to Professor Neroli cannot be taken back, equivalent to releasing the Pokémon in the core series games. When a Pokémon is transferred to the professor, the player will receive 5 {{Sleep|Candy|Candies}} for that Pokémon's species.

Throughout the [[Pokémon anime]], a Trainer releases a Pokémon for several reasons. The Trainer may see it as weak, as [[Damian]] did with {{AP|Charmander}} and [[Paul]] with {{AP|Chimchar}}. The Pokémon may have to do something that requires it to leave (such as {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Butterfree}}, as well as Ash and his {{AP|Pidgeot}}). Another common reason is that the Pokémon does not listen, frustrating the Trainer, much like when {{an|Dawn}} caught {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. If a Trainer chooses to release his or her Pokémon, it will be indicated by the Pokémon in question emerging from its Poké Ball in a blue light rather than the usual white light (though this only began occurring in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''). To guarantee release, some Trainers destroy the [[Poké Ball]], as seen with [[Jessie]] and her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. As shown in ''[[JN059|When a House is Not a Home!]]'', Pokémon can even destroy their own Poké Balls.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the [[Ultra Guardians]]' primary objective is to capture [[Ultra Beast]]s that find their way into [[Alola]] so they can safely be released and sent back where they came from via [[Ultra Wormhole]]s.

==In the manga==
Various {{pkmn|manga}} touch on the aspect of releasing Pokémon.
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Pokémon Adventures]] chapters often culminate in the capture of a [[Legendary Pokémon]], but these are almost always released afterwards, {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Regigigas}}, nicknamed [[Reg]], and {{adv|Blake}}'s {{p|Keldeo}}, nicknamed [[Kelden]], being notable exceptions.

==Team Plasma==
[[Team Plasma]]'s ultimate goal has been to convince Trainers to release their Pokémon. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, it is revealed that their leader, [[Ghetsis]], wanted to make himself the only Trainer to own Pokémon in [[Unova]], making him the region's leader almost by default. [[N]], Team Plasma's king, appears frequently to the [[player character|player]] to battle them and convince them to release their Pokémon. Each time, he appears with a different team—using the [[Memory Link]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} confirms that N released [[N's Pokémon|his Pokémon]] after battles with the player, and the player may encounter and catch them again.

Although there were apparently no other instances of anyone releasing their Pokémon in the games, several Trainers are seen releasing their Pokémon whenever Team Plasma holds a speech in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. {{adv|Black}} himself owns a Pokémon ([[Tula|Galvantula]]) previously owned by another unseen person, and now uses on his team after he decided to keep him after Team Plasma's first seen speech and he agreed to be with him. {{adv|White}} herself also released her company's {{p|Tepig}}, [[Gigi]], although this was against her own will, as it was technically Gigi who left White after she learned about her battle capabilities.

Talk:Return (move)

2024-01-19T18:47:12Z

Silverlucario: /* Lugia cannot learn Return in PMD Rescue Team */

== Old discussions ==
Does anyone know the formula for this attack? Same question for [[Frustration]]. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

And wouldn't this make Return Lopunny's Signature Move? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 22:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
:If Frustration is Buneary's. We're still debating that, however... '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
::It's a difficult one to call, but if we call Return Lopunny's signiture move (and Frustration Buneary's), would we not then have to do the same with other examples. E.g. {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Focus Punch}} by leveling, but a substaintial amount can learn it through [[TM01]] in Generations III and IV. Tricky when you look at it, huh? From [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 01:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Rabbits either hate you or love you [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 14:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

----

Do we ''really'' need that big list for Gen II? - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]]

Well, it all depends on whether all of the Pokemon in Gen.II can learn this attack. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] 16:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Any Pokémon that can learn TMs can learn Return and Frustration. It's always been that way, and I think it's safe to assume it'll always be that way (unless they decide to pull another {{p|Regigigas}} on us with them like they did with {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Protect}}...). [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 10:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Japanese name ==

おんがえし (恩返し) does not simply mean ''return''. I think it would be worthwhile to point out that it means ''repaying a favor/kindness'', which makes more sense in relation to the move than the current vague translation IMHO. I say at least make it ''return favor'' or something. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 00:05, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:That does make much more sense [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 15:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Power ==
Wait... so this can only do up to 41 power? Max happiness is 102 and that divided by 2.5 is 40.8 [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 15:40, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:You're reading it wrong. Take out the parts in brackets, which are there as explanation, and you get ''The base power of Return varies between 0 and 102''. 102 is the maximum power, which occurs at maximum happiness. The Happiness value ranges from 0 to 255 (one byte). 255/2.5 = 102. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:22, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
::Ah ok, I figured I was reading it wrong but just didn't see where, max power of 102 makes a lot more sense for the amount of punch my Teddiursa's return is dealing, lol [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 04:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

== anime? ==

just a question, but has Return ever been used in the anime? [[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 00:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
:I've never seen it been used. If it had been, I or another user would have put it up. ^^ [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 01:18, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

== Wild Ditto? ==

What exactly would the power level be for a wild ditto that uses return? -[[User:Unendingfear|Unendingfear]] ([[User talk:Unendingfear|talk]]) 06:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:Not really about the article, but checking the [[List of Pokémon by base friendship]] gives a wild Ditto a friendship of 70. Thus, 70 divided by 2.5 should make the Base Power likely be 28. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:56, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
::I did some trials in LeafGreen, and I successfully narrowed down the possible base friendship used to be between 58 and 72. Since my Pokemon hatched from an Egg recently and not having fainted (making it's friendship around 120), it hasn't been copied from it. The only reasonable value in that range to be used is Ditto's base friendship, so I think it is a reasonable assumption to state that wild Pokémon use their base friendship for Return/Frustration. Unfortunately, since I used Azurill, I don't know if Ditto used its base friendship or Azurill's, but I would assume it would be Ditto's since it didn't copy my current amount. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:56, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Varying Move Animation (Gen III) ==

In Generation III (Emerald, at least), the animation for Return changed depending on the Happiness/Friendship of the user. (This also applies to Frustration.) Does anyone think some research could go into this? [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 20:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

== in Link Battles ==

How well does this work in a link battle? I know Friendship and Affection are two different things, but the benefits of affection are not carried into Link battles so I am wondering if its the same for Friendship benefits. Is it worth making a Pokémon like you, or can you just stick them with Return (or maybe even frustration) and it work about the same in a link battle? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
:I have never heard it working any different than it works in-game. Moves that are affected by friendship are completely different since beyond evolution, it's solely used to affect the power of moves, while affection allows Pokémon to dodge even 100% accuracy moves, early healing from statuses among other things. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 21:35, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
::So the benefits of friendship is carried into Link battles, ok thanks. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:00, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

== QR Teams? ==
Is the power affected by using a rental team? For example I scan a MegaMence team with return is the power still 102? {{unsigned|‎RolandoCM}}

== Lugia cannot learn Return in PMD Rescue Team ==

Title. For whatever reason, in both Blue and Red rescue team Lugia cannot learn Return via TM. I have checked other legendaries, including Ho-Oh, and they all can learn it. I'm thinking this is definitely an oversight but don't know how to add it to the article.
EDIT: Just for good measure I checked if it can learn Frustration, and it can.

Dual-slot mode

2024-01-19T18:38:09Z

Silverlucario: This seems to be the likeliest intention for this restriction based on my testing, as Legendaries in single-slot areas like Lugia can be recruited, even if they are already recruited, since in that case the game forces you to release one at the end of the dungeon

'''Dual-slot mode''' (Japanese: '''ダブルスロット''' ''Double-Slot'') is a method of communication between a [[Nintendo DS]] game card and a [[Game Boy Advance]] game cartridge by inserting both into the same Nintendo DS system. However, due to the removal of the GBA slot, dual-slot mode is not available if the player is using a system from the [[Nintendo DSi]] family or [[Nintendo 3DS]] family.

==In the core series games==
===Pal Park===
{{main|Pal Park}}
In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Pal Park allows the player to transfer Pokémon from {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, using dual-slot mode for communication. The Pokémon are sent from the [[Generation III]] game to the [[Generation IV]] game and cannot be sent back.

Both games must be the same language in order to migrate Pokémon via Pal Park, unless the Generation IV game is Korean, in which case any language of Generation III game can be used.

===Dongle method===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the dongle method changes the [[wild Pokémon]] that appear based on the game in the Game Boy Advance slot, via dual-slot mode. This method is compatible with any of the [[Generation III]] [[core series]] games: {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. The name "dongle method" is an unofficial name that comes from the fact that this method uses the Game Boy Advance game as a {{wp|dongle}} for the Nintendo DS game.

After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], if the player had an applicable GBA game inserted in the GBA slot when they opened the title screen, the dongle method allows specific wild Pokémon to appear depending on the GBA game. Wild encounters will not change if a GBA game is inserted or removed from the Nintendo DS system after the title screen. The dongle method works regardless of the language of the GBA game (unlike with Pal Park).

The wild Pokémon that can appear this way are mostly not in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. They are usually [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to one of the [[Generation III]] games. They usually have an 8% chance of appearing, or 4% each if there are two different Pokémon that can appear this way in the same location due to the same game.

===Accessories and Backdrops===
In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the player can obtain one unique [[Backdrop]] or [[Accessory]] for each Generation III core series game from a {{tc|Lady}} in the Pal Park lobby, based on the game the player has inserted in the GBA slot. The lady describes the item as a gift for the player as a reward for their performance in a Catching Show (regardless of whether the player has ever actually participated in one).

Each gift may only be received once, and the player must leave and re-enter the Pal Park building to receive a new gift, even if the game is reset. The language of the GBA game is ignored, meaning that the player can receive a gift even if they would not be able to migrate Pokémon from it.

===Event distributions===
[[File:Distribution cartridge Slot 2.jpg|thumb|{{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|10th Movie Deoxys}} distribution Slot 2 cartridge]]
In the Generation IV core series games, some event distributions were done using a Slot 2 cartridge, which was inserted into the GBA slot to send data to the DS game card.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Dash===
{{incomplete|section|needs=When the inserted game is checked, whether it reflects the Pokémon's form}}
[[File:Dual-slot mode Dash JP.png|thumb|left|200px|Japanese/Korean version cup display]]
[[File:Dual-slot mode Dash ENG.png|thumb|right|200px|American/European version cup display]]
In [[Pokémon Dash]], players can make custom cups based on the [[party]] in a Generation III [[core series]] game inserted in the GBA slot. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} sprites are used; {{p|Spinda}} patterns are retained, but {{Shiny}} coloration is not depicted. {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the player's party are ignored.

The Japanese, European, and American versions of Pokémon Dash have no region checks, allowing the player use any language game (although only the first 5 characters of a Pokémon's name will be displayed in the Japanese version of Pokémon Dash). The Korean version only allows Japanese game cartridges to be used.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team===
{{incomplete|section}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]], dual-slot mode allows the game to communicate with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team]].

If the player has both games inserted into a compatible system, [[SOS Mail]] can be sent between the games, allowing for the rescue team in one game to save the team in the other cartridge's save file.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, the player can use Receive Team while Red Rescue Team is in the Game Boy Advance slot. If used, the rescue team from Red Rescue Team becomes the boss of the Rescue Team Maze of [[Makuhita Dojo]]. The rescue team can be recruited into Blue Rescue Team using species recruitment rates (although some Pokémon such as the [[Legendary birds]] cannot be recruited this way, potentially to avoid having duplicate Legendaries in [[Friend Areas]] with more than one slot).

==Trivia==
* If a {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} cart is present in Slot 2 of the {{DS}}, the migration option in the main menu of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version name. This typo was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* All Pokémon families that can only be encountered via the dongle method in Diamond and Pearl other than {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Shuckle}} are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
** Conversely, all cases of non-[[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] version-exclusive Pokémon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that are not in Diamond and Pearl are from families that can only be encountered via the dongle method in the latter.
* All four of the Pokémon that are available through multiple Generation III games via the dongle method [[underleveled Pokémon|appear at a lower level than they can usually be obtained]].
* [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] has a similar feature to the dongle method, which allows players to catch a Generation IV [[game mascot]] with its [[Hidden Ability]] in extensions unlocked by putting the Game Card of the corresponding game into the game card slot of the Nintendo 3DS system.

Talk:Return (move)

Silverlucario: /* Lugia cannot learn Return in PMD Rescue Team */ new section

== Old discussions ==
Does anyone know the formula for this attack? Same question for [[Frustration]]. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

And wouldn't this make Return Lopunny's Signature Move? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 22:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
:If Frustration is Buneary's. We're still debating that, however... '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
::It's a difficult one to call, but if we call Return Lopunny's signiture move (and Frustration Buneary's), would we not then have to do the same with other examples. E.g. {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Focus Punch}} by leveling, but a substaintial amount can learn it through [[TM01]] in Generations III and IV. Tricky when you look at it, huh? From [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 01:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Rabbits either hate you or love you [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 14:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

----

Do we ''really'' need that big list for Gen II? - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]]

Well, it all depends on whether all of the Pokemon in Gen.II can learn this attack. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] 16:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Any Pokémon that can learn TMs can learn Return and Frustration. It's always been that way, and I think it's safe to assume it'll always be that way (unless they decide to pull another {{p|Regigigas}} on us with them like they did with {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Protect}}...). [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 10:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Japanese name ==

おんがえし (恩返し) does not simply mean ''return''. I think it would be worthwhile to point out that it means ''repaying a favor/kindness'', which makes more sense in relation to the move than the current vague translation IMHO. I say at least make it ''return favor'' or something. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 00:05, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:That does make much more sense [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 15:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Power ==
Wait... so this can only do up to 41 power? Max happiness is 102 and that divided by 2.5 is 40.8 [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 15:40, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:You're reading it wrong. Take out the parts in brackets, which are there as explanation, and you get ''The base power of Return varies between 0 and 102''. 102 is the maximum power, which occurs at maximum happiness. The Happiness value ranges from 0 to 255 (one byte). 255/2.5 = 102. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:22, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
::Ah ok, I figured I was reading it wrong but just didn't see where, max power of 102 makes a lot more sense for the amount of punch my Teddiursa's return is dealing, lol [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 04:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

== anime? ==

just a question, but has Return ever been used in the anime? [[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 00:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
:I've never seen it been used. If it had been, I or another user would have put it up. ^^ [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 01:18, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

== Wild Ditto? ==

What exactly would the power level be for a wild ditto that uses return? -[[User:Unendingfear|Unendingfear]] ([[User talk:Unendingfear|talk]]) 06:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:Not really about the article, but checking the [[List of Pokémon by base friendship]] gives a wild Ditto a friendship of 70. Thus, 70 divided by 2.5 should make the Base Power likely be 28. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:56, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
::I did some trials in LeafGreen, and I successfully narrowed down the possible base friendship used to be between 58 and 72. Since my Pokemon hatched from an Egg recently and not having fainted (making it's friendship around 120), it hasn't been copied from it. The only reasonable value in that range to be used is Ditto's base friendship, so I think it is a reasonable assumption to state that wild Pokémon use their base friendship for Return/Frustration. Unfortunately, since I used Azurill, I don't know if Ditto used its base friendship or Azurill's, but I would assume it would be Ditto's since it didn't copy my current amount. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:56, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Varying Move Animation (Gen III) ==

In Generation III (Emerald, at least), the animation for Return changed depending on the Happiness/Friendship of the user. (This also applies to Frustration.) Does anyone think some research could go into this? [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 20:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

== in Link Battles ==

How well does this work in a link battle? I know Friendship and Affection are two different things, but the benefits of affection are not carried into Link battles so I am wondering if its the same for Friendship benefits. Is it worth making a Pokémon like you, or can you just stick them with Return (or maybe even frustration) and it work about the same in a link battle? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
:I have never heard it working any different than it works in-game. Moves that are affected by friendship are completely different since beyond evolution, it's solely used to affect the power of moves, while affection allows Pokémon to dodge even 100% accuracy moves, early healing from statuses among other things. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 21:35, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
::So the benefits of friendship is carried into Link battles, ok thanks. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:00, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

== QR Teams? ==
Is the power affected by using a rental team? For example I scan a MegaMence team with return is the power still 102? {{unsigned|‎RolandoCM}}

== Lugia cannot learn Return in PMD Rescue Team ==

Title. For whatever reason, in both Blue and Red rescue team Lugia cannot learn Return via TM. I have checked other legendaries, including Ho-Oh, and they all can learn it. I'm thinking this is definitely an oversight but don't know how to add it to the article.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

Lugia is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, its remake {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] (as [[Shadow Lugia]]), appearing on the boxart of them all.

Along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, it is part of the [[tower duo]]. Due to its role in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, it is often viewed by fans as the [[Legendary group|leader]] of the [[Legendary birds]].

Lugia has an alternate [[#Form data|form]] called '''[[Shadow Lugia]]''', codenamed '''XD001''', that appeared in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

==Biology==
[[File:Lugia plates.png|thumb|left|250px|Lugia folding back its plates]]
Lugia is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|dragon}}, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has pointed teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia's eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body. Dark blue or black plate-like protrusions run down the length of its back, and there are two smaller, more pointed ones on the end of its tail. It can fold back these plates to increase its speed. Lugia is covered in {{a|Multiscale|many scales that protect it from attacks}}. It has large wings that resemble hands. Though it is gender unknown, in the anime, [[Silver (Lugia)|a young Lugia]] has been seen, suggesting there is a breeding population, at least in the anime's timeline. [[EP220|Lugia has been shown]] to be fiercely protective of its young.

Lugia leads the [[legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear a regular house down. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It is extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare}} and is hardly ever seen. Lugia has been referred to as the ''guardian of the seas''. There are rumors Lugia would appear during the night of a storm. Lugia loves [[Lugia Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Forms===
Lugia has an alternate form called [[Shadow Lugia]]. It has jagged silver eye-spikes, a dark-purple body with white undersides, and glowing red eyes. It also has sharper toes that resemble claws, as well as a longer, more pointed tongue. Additionally, due to the shape of Lugia's back plates on its 3D models being changed after [[Generation IV]], Shadow Lugia now posesses a unique design for them.

Shadow Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Blast}}.

====Major appearances====

=====[[Lugia (anime)]]=====
Lugia made its main series debut in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'', where a silhouetted Lugia saved {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} from being sucked into a whirlpool. It later turned out to be the parent of [[Silver (Lugia)|Silver]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''.

====={{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}=====
A young Lugia, [[nickname]]d Silver by {{jo|Oliver}}, lived near [[Ogi Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''The Mystery is History'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Lugia had a significant role in [[Fula City]]'s history, as the one who gives Fula City a wind as told in the history.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Lugia will fly up out of the stage and return in the background, where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on a section of the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
''The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as 'guardian of the seas,' it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Lugia_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Lugia trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Lugia appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

'''NA''': ''Despite being a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. Legend says the flapping of Lugia's wings can create storms that last up to 40 days. It's impossible to know for sure, but in Smash Bros., Lugia definitely brings a storm with its Aeroblast attack.''

'''PAL''': ''Despite being a Psychic- and Flying-type, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. It's said that if it were to flap its wings on waking up, it could cause a storm lasting 40 days. No one can say whether that's true or not, but Lugia's attacks certainly make it seem so. It flies behind the stage and creates a mighty gust of wind with its Aeroblast attack.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Lugia returns as Poké Ball summon. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

[[Shadow Lugia]] is a unique form of Lugia exclusive to {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. It is a Lugia that has had the door to its heart shut by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]].

Shadow Lugia is obtained by [[snagging]] it from Grand Master [[Greevil]] on [[Citadark Isle]]. This is the only way to obtain Shadow Lugia, and it cannot be [[trade]]d to the [[core series]] games in this form, as it must fist undergo [[purification]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Lugia Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Lugia in Pokémon Battle Chess]]

* [[Takeshi Shudo]], script writer for [[M02|the second movie]], created the character of Pokémon X for the movie as a new Pokémon that symbolizes ocean currents.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo187.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第187回]</ref> This role was ultimately filled by Lugia, whose name and design were created by someone else.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo188.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第188回]</ref> Shudo was surprised when Lugia later showed up in the Pokémon {{pkmn|games}}, having expected it to be exclusive to the movie.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo206.shtml シナリオえーだば創作術第206回]</ref><ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/takeshi-shudo-ending-pokemon/ Pokemon’s Head Writer: Booze, Pills, and Ending Ash’s Story – Lava Cut Content]</ref>
** A [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtaA1aUXUAgEVyz?format=jpg&name=medium concept art] made by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the second movie depicts Lugia with an X-shaped motif on its stomach and only six plates on its back.
** In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X".
** Perhaps coincidentally, it also is known by its codename, '''X'''D001, in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]—also long before its true identity is revealed.
* [[Shigeki Morimoto]] said in an interview for the Nintendo DREAM November 2009 issue that Lugia was made a {{t|Psychic}} type instead of a {{t|Water}} type because they wanted to give it a stronger impression.
** Despite not being a Water type, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|Trading Card Game]].
* In Gold and Silver, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[Legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Lugia's [[Generation IV]], {{gen|V}}, and {{gen|VI}} Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a biblical reference to {{wp|Noah's Ark}}.
* When Lugia's Shiny form is shown in {{g|Stadium 2}}, it is green rather than pink.
* Lugia appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. Alongside Ho-Oh, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Lugia's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
* The Tin Tower event file from March 1999 mark the earliest of Lugia's appearances in [[Pokémon_Gold_and_Silver_Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]].
[[File:SetSymbolSilver Tempest.png|60px|thumb|Silver Tempest set symbol]]
* Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only Legendary Pokémon that are [[game mascot]]s that are not version-exclusives in their representative games.
* Despite being strongly associated with the sea, Lugia does not appear in the sea at [[Pal Park]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Silver Tempest}} expansion resembles Lugia's silhouette.

===Origin===
Lugia's aquatic tendencies could relate it to {{wp|plesiosauria|plesiosaurs}} and aquatic birds. It is also possible that it may be based on ''{{wp|Ryūjin}}'', a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the {{wp|Shinto}} god of the sea. The two have similarities in mythology, and Lugia's {{Shiny}} colors (red and white) are the same colors as the coral {{wp|Ryūgū-jō|''Ryūjin''{{'}}s palace}} was made of. In addition, it is worth noting that {{wp|Chinese dragon|dragon}} (yang, male) and {{wp|Fenghuang|Chinese phoenix}} (yin, female) duality is prevalent in Eastern mythology, and Ho-Oh is the Japanese name of the Fenghuang (Chinese phoenix). In keeping with this, Lugia resembles a {{wp|wyvern}}, a variety of dragons with a single set of forelimbs that serve as wings. Its avian body, coloration, and face-markings suggest that it may be somewhat based on the {{wp|grey heron}}. Its rounded feet resemble those of {{wp|grebes}}, a family of diving birds. The {{wp|beluga whale}}, a white whale with similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for its design and name. It might also be based on {{wp|Bahamut}} (giant fish), and Bahamut is often being portrayed as a dragon-like creature in modern fantasy, hence its fish-like and dragon-like appearance.

====Name origin====
Lugia may be derived from ἄργυρος ''árguros'' (Ancient Greek for silver). It may also involve ''{{wp|Beluga whale|beluga}}'', ''deluge'', and ''Lutīyā'' (early name for the {{wp|Bahamut}}).

Old guys

2023-12-12T15:28:55Z

Silverlucario: Just a grammar + conciseness rewrite

{{incomplete|needs=ORAS models; quotes}}
The '''old guys''' (Japanese: '''オヤジたち''' ''old guys'') are a quintet of [[non-player character]]s that appear in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}. They differ in the color of their hair and clothing.

They all appear in the [[Mauville City]] [[Pokémon Center]], though only one will be present at a time. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they also appear in {{DL|Mauville City|Mauville Hills}} later.

==Mechanics==
===Generation III===
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the final digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]] determines which of the five men will initially appear in the Mauville City Pokémon Center. The following list details which number corresponds with which man.
*If the Trainer's ID ends in 0 or 1, the Bard will appear.
*If the Trainer's ID ends in 2 or 3, the Hipster will appear.
*If the Trainer's ID ends in 4 or 5, the Trader will appear.
*If the Trainer's ID ends in 6 or 7, the Storyteller will appear.
*If the Trainer's ID ends in 8 or 9, Giddy will appear.

If two or more players of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald mix records with each other, the men that were in each players' games will be transferred over. The player is allowed one interaction with the man that initially appears in their game, as well as one interaction with each man they receive from another player through record mixing.

===Generation VI===
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they give the player [[O-Power]]s. Giddy is in the Mauville City Pokémon Center when the player first arrives. After being interacted with twice, he leaves.

Other old guys will only appear or give the player their second set of O-Powers after the player has reached specific points in the storyline. If one of the men leaves, the next will not appear until the player has reached the point in the storyline where they can receive the next O-Power; if the player obtains the first O-Power from one old guy but is not yet far enough in the game to obtain the second from him, the current old guy will remain in the Pokémon Center.

After the Storyteller has left the Pokémon Center for their shared apartment in {{DL|Mauville City|Mauville Hills}} (Apartment 3), when the player visits all five in their apartment, the Storyteller will mention that they are looking for someone to pass their powers to; the player tells him about the powerless man living across the hall, at which point the Storyteller requests that the player lead the powerless man to them. If the player does so, they will each give him their power (disappearing after doing so), turning the powerless man into [[Mr. Bonding]]. Mr. Bonding will give the player the final O-Power, Hatching Power, and leave.

===Generation VII===
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], while they do not appear, the old guys are [[List of cross-generational references|referenced]] by a man in [[Haina Desert]], who gave the "star pulses" he received from a {{p|Solrock}}{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunatone}}{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} to a "group of wonderful men" 30 years prior to the game's events. Solrock{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/Lunatone{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} produces the O-Power sound effect when restoring the man's memories.

==Giddy==
Giddy (Japanese: '''メルヘンおやじ''' ''Fairy-tale old man'') will have a "scintillating story" for the player, asking a series of yes or no questions. He appears to have a brother (Gaddy) and a niece who live in [[Laverre City]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Giddy's questions are based on either a word from the easy chat system or something else, such as if the player knows a nice place for vacation.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Giddy will reward the player with the Speed [[O-Power]] for answering his questions. He is in the Pokémon Center as soon as the player arrives there. Later, the player may answer more of his questions and receive the Critical Power, at which point he leaves.

==The Hipster==
The Hipster (Japanese: '''ナウいおやじ''' ''Hip old man'') will tell the player a collection of "trendy words".

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he adds phrases to the game's [[easy chat system]]. He will add one phrase each time he is talked to after records are mixed.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he will use a bunch of trendy words and reward the player with one or two [[O-Power]]s for listening. He first appears after the player has the {{badge|Dynamo}}, and ramble once. For listening to his trendy words the first time he will give the player the Befriending Power. After the player has the {{badge|Heat}}, he will tell the player more trendy words, then give the player the Encounter Power and Accuracy Power for listening and leave.

==The Bard==
The Bard (Japanese: '''シンガーソングおやじ''' ''Singer-songwriter old man'') will sing a song to the player.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the song he sings will be made up of six words or phrases from the [[easy chat system]]. He will then tell the player he isn't happy with the lyrics and ask them to change one word or phrase. When the Bard sings, the game will make noises that sound very vaguely like the words or phrases in the song. If the Bard attempts to sing a phrase that is exclusive to Pokémon Emerald in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (such as "Tower"), the phrase will appear as "???". If he attempts to sing {{p|Celebi}}'s name, no sound will play for that word<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJBCf_xtzvI "Obscure Pokemon Facts You DON'T Know" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he will sing two lines of his song, then give the player an O-Power as an apology for singing an unfinished song. He first appears after the player has the {{badge|Balance}}, and sing once. For listening to his song the first time he will give the player the Prize Money Power. After the player has the {{badge|Feather}}, he will sing again, then give the player the Exp. Point Power for listening and leave.

==The Trader==
The Trader (Japanese: '''グッズ交換おやじ''' ''Goods-trading old man'') will trade the player [[Secret Base]] [[Decoration]]s.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will trade the player one of his decorations ([[Pokémon doll#Generation III|Duskull Doll]], [[Cushion#Generation III|Ball Cushion]], [[Tire]], [[Plant#Generation III|Pretty Flowers]]) for one of the player's decorations. He will only trade once each time the player mixes records. When he is passed to another player via record mixing, he will replace the item he originally offered with the item the player traded him.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he will offer to trade the player one of four Decorations ([[Pokémon doll#Generation III|Duskull Doll]], [[Cushion#Generation VI|Poké Ball Cushion]], [[Ornament#Other|Tire]], [[Plant#Generation VI|Flowering Plant]]) for one of three items ([[Potion]], [[Antidote]], {{i|Poké Ball}}). He first appears after the player has the {{badge|Mind}}, and trade once. For trading the first time he will give the player the Stealth Power. After the player has the {{badge|Rain}}, he will trade one of the decorations from the same pool again, then give the player the Bargain Power for trading and leave.

==The Storyteller==
The Storyteller (Japanese: '''伝説おやじ''' ''Folklore old man''), in his own words, tells "tales of legendary Trainers". He will tell the player a selection of statistics about players and make a comment about it.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will give a list of up to four stories that he knows and ask the player to pick the one they want to hear. He will tell the player the number of times the player or a player has [[Record mixing|mixed records]] with has done the topic of the story. He will also "unlock" another story for each time the player has mixed records.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he will tell the player a fixed list of stats about themself. He first appears after the player has the {{badge|Rain}} and traded with the Trader twice, and will tell the player about themselves once. After he realizes he is talking to the legendary Trainer he is describing, he will give the player the PP Restoring Power. After the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], he will tell the player that he can now go home having met the legendary Trainer that is the player and leaves.

==Trivia==
* "ナウい" ("now" as a Japanese adjective, which literally means "trendy"), was a Japanese buzzword popular in the 1980s, and means "outdated" or "old-fashioned" in contemporary Japanese. "Trendy words" in the Japanese versions of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}} is a phrase which had become outdated by the 2000s.

== GSC Prize ==
I ''think'' (but am not entirely certain) that when fighting the last person you Mystery-Gifted with here in Generation II, the amount of money won is equal to the level of your opponent's lowest-leveled Pokémon times 100, with a {{pdollar}}100 bonus if that Pokémon is higher level than all of the Pokémon on your team. --[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 03:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
:Disregard that. After further evidence and after seeing [[User:Ztobor/Payout|this page]], I now believe that the amount won is equal to the level of the last Pokémon in the opponent's party times {{pdollar}}100. --[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 04:56, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Stat exp on opponent teams in gen 2 ==

Did some testing with Mystery Gift on cart and it's pretty clear that DVs are not retained, but I can't find any information out there about whether the Pokémon have stat exp. or not. I'm guessing 'no' with a fair amount of certainty since no other NPC trainers in the game use it afaik, but I'm not certain enough to add it to the article.

The '''Trainer House''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーハウス''' ''Trainer House'') is a two-story building, located in [[Viridian City]] in [[Kanto]]. It only appears in the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, taking the place of the {{DL|Viridian City|Pokémon academy}} from the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

Built near [[Indigo Plateau]], the final destination for many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, the Trainer House provides a place for Trainers to battle in a controlled environment. According to visitors on the first floor of the building, the best Trainers gather here. These Trainers turn out to be real-life friends of the player, whose own parties are submitted to the game through [[Mystery Gift]]{{sup/2|GSC}} or the [[Pokéwalker]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

==Overview==
===Generation II===
In the [[Generation II]] games, the player may only {{pkmn|battle}} once per day and if the opponent has a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that the player has not seen before, the Pokémon will be added to the [[Pokédex]].

The {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the basement will be the last person who the player used [[Mystery Gift]] with, with their team being whatever Pokémon were in the other person's party at the time, excluding [[nicknames]], [[held items]], and [[IVs]]. As a result of the latter, [[gender]] and [[Shiny]] coloration are not retained. If the player has never used Mystery Gift with anyone, the Trainer will be {{ga|Cal}}, using the following team:

[[Trainer House glitches|Several glitches]] can affect the Trainer that appears in the Trainer House.

===Generation IV===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player will initially find only {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}} in the basement of the Trainer House. When the player connects their [[Pokéwalker]] with another person's and then resyncs it back to their game, the other {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will appear in the basement of the Trainer House. A maximum of ten additional Trainers besides Cal may be gathered in this way.

Other Trainers' teams will consist of whatever Pokémon (including [[held item]]s) were in their party when they sent their Pokémon to the Pokéwalker, with the level of Pokémon capped at level 50. After a battle, all Pokémon will be restored to full health and held items restored. Players will earn no experience or money, but they will receive 1 [[Battle Point]] for winning. If an opponent has a Pokémon that the player has not seen before, the Pokémon will not be added to the [[Pokédex]].

Through the use of two Pokéwalkers, connected to the player's game and a friend's, the player can battle themself by connecting the Pokéwalkers and receiving a gift from the friend's Pokéwalker.

Below is Cal's team in these games.

'''Abra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケーシィ''' ''Casey'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kadabra}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Abra is a bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin is visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, {{wp|pauldron}}-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, {{wp|fauld}}-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.

Abra can sense danger through a telepathic radar. When it does, it teleports to a safe location. However, it sometimes becomes panicked if it wakes in an unknown location. By hypnotizing itself, Abra is able to teleport itself even while sleeping. It can use other extrasensory abilities while sleeping as well and can even teleport into the treetops to pick and eat berries. The deeper Abra sleeps, the farther it teleports. Due to the strain of its telepathic powers, however, Abra sleeps 18 hours each day. If it fails to rest long enough, it will become unable to use its powers. The contents in Abra's dream can affect its powers. Abra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has been observed to teleport to a different location once per hour. If it teleports randomly, it can create illusory copies.

===Evolution===
Abra evolves into {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves into {{p|Alakazam}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Abra was originally known as "Hocus".
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Abra is seen floating. Despite this, it is still considered a grounded Pokémon and can activate ground traps such as the Cog Wheel in [[Valora]].
* Of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, Abra has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} and is tied with {{p|Smoochum}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}}.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a wild Abra will {{m|Teleport}} away if the {{player}} tries to approach it from the front.
* Abra has the highest [[List of Pokémon by catch rate (GO)|flee rate]] in [[Pokémon GO]] at 99%, meaning it is almost guaranteed to run away after breaking out of a [[Poké Ball]]. This is an homage to the core series, where it will use Teleport to escape on the first turn.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], wild Abra will always drop a [[Max Ether]] when defeated.

===Origin===
Abra may be based on a {{wp|mystic}} or {{wp|psychic}}. It also has similarities to {{wp|fox}}es or {{wp|goat}}s, animals with ties to magic. Given the rat-like tail of its early sprites and the fact that it sleeps 18 hours a day, Abra could also draw inspiration from {{wp|opossum}}s. It also shares traits with {{wp|cat}}s, namely their feline appearances and the fact that they sleep for most of the day. Its segmented body parts and animations in some games such as [[Pokémon Stadium]] are similar to those of {{wp|marionette}} puppets.

====Name origin====
Abra may be derived from ''{{wp|abracadabra}}'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}.

Casey may be named after ''{{wp|Edgar Cayce}}'', a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances.

Shiny Pokémon

2022-09-18T03:26:15Z

Silverlucario: Corrected/added some info re: Stadium 2 shinies

[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|色違い|いろちがい}}''' ''color variation''; '''{{tt|光|ひか}}る''' ''shining'') is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

They were originally called '''rare''' (Japanese: レア ''rare'') in the debug menu from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, '''Color Pokémon''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and also referred to as '''Alt. Color''' in the [[Generation III]] [[easy chat system]]. The '''{{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}''' from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} were also introduced before the word "Shiny" was officially used in Pokémon games.

[[List of Pokémon with form differences|Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], a Pokémon's shininess is visible in the overworld. Additionally, in Legends: Arceus, the menu sprite of Shiny Pokémon will depict its Shiny coloration.

==Terminology==
The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans based on the sparkling sound effect and animation at the start of an encounter with one in the {{pkmn|games}}. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]].

===Japanese===
In Japanese, there are some distinct terms used to describe Shiny Pokémon:

「レア」 (''rare'') in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

「いろちがい」 (''color variation'') is used in several official sources referring to Shiny Pokémon:

* The list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* The [[easy chat system]] from [[Generation III]] games.
* A [[Wonder Card]] distributed with a Shiny {{p|Milotic}} in the Japanese version of {{game|Platinum}}. Specifically, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}, released on 12 October 2008.
* This Japanese word is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]].
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this Japanese word appears in the description of [[Shiny Charm]].

「{{tt|光|ひか}}る」 (''shining'') is sometimes used in official sources as well.
* The {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} use the word 「ひかる」 in Japanese. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} (Japanese: ひかるギャラドス) card.
* A Japanese webpage about [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] on Nintendo.co.jp refers to Shiny Pokémon with the word 「光る」.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_np3j/ ポケモンスタジアム金銀 - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork "[[:File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon]]" (Japanese: 光るポケモンとの遭遇) uses the word 「光る」.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0205/03/02/index.html ３－２．この春登場、強力・注目　商品ラインナップ - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* The [[Shiny Charm]] (Japanese: ひかるおまもり ''Shining Charm'') uses that word in its Japanese name as well.
** From [[Pokémon X and Y]] onwards, the Japanese description of Shiny Charm mentions Shiny Pokémon with the word 「ひかる」 as well.

===English===
These are the names used for Shiny Pokémon in English:

* The Shiny Pokémon were named "rare" (Japanese: レア ''rare'') on [[Pokémon.com]] during Generation II<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021011204306/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events4.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (September 27, 2002 to January 2, 2003)</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030124023941/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events8.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (January 3 to March 13, 2003)</ref> and in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* The Shiny Pokémon are named "Color Pokémon" in the list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Specifically, the player's Pokémon may be listed according to the options "Group Color Pokémon" and "Cancel Color Pokémon".
* In [[Generation III]] games, the [[easy chat system]] includes the option "Alt. Color". This is translated from Japanese 「いろちがい」 (''color variation''), a term commonly used for Shiny Pokémon in multiple Pokémon media.
* The word "Shining" is used for the {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} card.
* The word "Shiny" is mentioned in the title of the "Wow! Shiny {{p|Milotic}}!" [[Wonder Card]], which was distributed for {{game|Platinum}}. This is the first use of the word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) in an English game. However, this text was retrieved with the Wonder Card, and is not otherwise included in Pokémon Platinum's game data.
** This Wonder Card was received with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|US Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 9 May 2009, and then with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|UK Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 30 May 2009.
** This was based on the aforementioned Shiny Milotic distribution in Japanese, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}.
* The word "Shiny" is first used in the anime in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', which aired in English on December 11, 2010. In the episode [[Barry (anime)|Barry]] exclaims that [[Ash's Noctowl]] is a weird Shiny color.
* The word "Shiny" is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]]. This is the first use of the English word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) stored in the data of an English game, instead of received from a Wonder Card.
* The [[Shiny Charm]] debuted later, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. The item itself includes the word "Shiny", and the item description mentions Shiny Pokémon.

==Design==
Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. Conversely, some Pokémon, such as {{p|Caterpie}} or {{p|Smeargle}}, have dramatic differences in color.

An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

Little is known about how Shiny colorations are chosen. While it is often rumored that early Shiny colorations were determined algorithmically, all Pokémon Shiny colorations are individually defined in the game data<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/1521f52e37741a9220a1362443df6d0462e582d3/data/pokemon/palettes.asm Pokémon Gold Disassembly]</ref> and Pokémon with similar palettes have distinct Shiny colorations even in [[Generation II]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1235549199543885825 @DrLavaYT] on Twitter</ref> [[James Turner]], who has worked as a Pokémon designer since [[Generation V]], stated that the first time he selected Shiny colorations was in [[Generation VII]], when he selected the Shiny colorations of [[Ultra Beast]]s he designed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1091889698555875328 @JamesTurner_42] on Twitter</ref>

Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from its [[Poké Ball]], [[#Appearance|it is surrounded]] by a flash of stars or light, which is accompanied by a pinging sound effect.

Individual Pokémon cannot change their Shininess. A Shiny Pokémon will always be Shiny, and a regular Pokémon will never become Shiny. Upon evolution, a Pokémon retains its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, while a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

An icon (seen in the table above) appears on the status screen of Shiny Pokémon in most games. In Generation II, this icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, by the gender symbol, while in most other games, it appears in or near one of the corners of the Pokémon's image; however, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} do not have any icon. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white and the background of the Pokémon's image has a lighter shade; likewise, in Generation IV and V, the color of some elements of the status screen differ for Shiny Pokémon.

===Shiny Pokémon rates===
The table below summarizes the rates at which Shiny Pokémon can be found by the methods that will be detailed below. The [[Shiny Charm]] can directly add to the odds for most methods, with [[hidden Pokémon]] being affected uniquely.

===Determining Shininess===
====Generation II====
In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon's {{IV}}s. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a [[Generation I]] game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Since the HP IV is calculated from the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its IVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192 (assuming every IV combination has the same probability, which is usually the case).

The probability differs for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon, as their IVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, a parent passes its Special stat (plus or minus 8) and its Defense stat to its children that are the opposite gender from it. (If Ditto is one of the parents, it is always the one that passes these stats.) This means that if a Shiny parent passes its IVs to a child, the child's inherited Defense IV will always be 10, its inherited Special IV will have a 1/2 chance of being 10, its randomly generated Attack IV will have a 1/2 chance of being an appropriate value, and its randomly generated Speed IV will have 1/16 chance of being 10. This results in a 1/64 chance that such a child will be Shiny. These breeding mechanics also mean that if a child inherits its IVs from a Pokémon that does not have a Defense IV of 10 and a Special IV of 2 or 10, it cannot be Shiny.

=====Transferring from Generation I Virtual Console games=====
Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games via [[Poké Transporter]] may be Shiny after being transported. Since Version 1.3 of Poké Transporter, this is determined the same way as in the Generation II games. Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense IVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.

The same {{DL||quirks}} that apply to transferring Pokémon from Generation I to Generation II games also apply.

The {{p|Mew}} that were distributed to the Generation I Virtual Console games have IVs of 15 in every stat, meaning they can never be Shiny.

====Generation III onward====
{{main|Personality value#Shininess|Personality value → Shininess}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, whether a Pokémon is Shiny depends on the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. The exact calculation is:
:<code>TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID '''xor''' PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0</code>
where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively.

The above formula can result in a number ranging from 0 to 65535. In Generations III to V, if this result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny; starting in [[Generation VI]], this threshold was increased to 16. For Generations III to V, this gives an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II. For Generations VI and later, the probability is doubled. In Generation VIII, if this result equals 0, or if the Pokémon has the [[fateful encounter]] flag set, then the Pokémon has square Shiny sparkles.

===Transformed Pokémon===
[[File:Pikachu Shiny Mew.png|thumb|right|Shiny {{p|Mew}} transformed into Pikachu in Generation II]]
These are the results of {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} used by or on a Shiny Pokémon.

* In Generation II [[core series]] games (as well as in [[Generation I]], when played in {{OBP|color|Generation I}}), the transformed Pokémon retains its original color palette. For instance, Shiny {{p|Ditto}} and Shiny {{p|Mew}} are both blue Pokémon, so they will transform into blue versions of the target.
* In {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} and {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the transformed Pokémon has the normal colors of the target.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and [[Generation III]] games (including [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]]), a Shiny Pokémon transforms into the Shiny version of the target Pokémon. Likewise, a non-Shiny Pokémon transforms into the non-Shiny version of the target Pokémon.
*: For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a non-Shiny (red) Magikarp, then Ditto becomes a Shiny (golden) Magikarp.
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards (including [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]), Transform copies the target's coloration; whether or not the transformed Pokémon is Shiny depends on whether the target is, not the user.
*: For instance, if any Ditto (Shiny or not) uses Transform on a non-Shiny (red) Magikarp, then Ditto becomes a non-Shiny Magikarp as well. Likewise, if any Ditto uses Transform on a Shiny (golden) Magikarp, Ditto becomes a Shiny Magikarp as well.

===Generation II===
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Generation II, any Pokémon can be Shiny, but the game includes a [[red Gyarados]] that the player must encounter at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Odd Egg]] also has a high chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon: 50% in Japanese games, and 14% in all other languages. {{fact}}

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of gray. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by the stars on its status screen or the animation shown when it comes into battle.

====Quirks====
Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Due to Shininess being determined by IVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by IVs in Generation II:
* It is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
* Only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
* A Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Shiny Smeargle can only have pattern ID of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8.
* As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they have the same Defense IVs, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|Transform glitches#Shiny Ditto glitch|Shiny Ditto glitch}}

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, it is possible to use {{DL|Transform glitches|Shiny Ditto glitch|a glitch}} to catch a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}. If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} twice (that is, transforms again while already transformed), when caught it will be a Ditto with the same DVs as the penultimate Pokémon it transformed into. This can be used to copy the DVs of a Shiny Pokémon owned by the player.

===Generation III===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In [[Generation III]], some Shiny Pokémon appear on NPCs' teams. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, three Trainers in the [[Trainer Tower]] have Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. Several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers also have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

====Quirks====
A bug with the way Shininess is handled for Eggs can cause the Shiny status of a Pokémon hatched from an Egg to differ from the Egg hatching animation. This means that a hatched Pokémon may appear to be Shiny during the hatching animation, but actually not be, and vice versa. This happens because an Egg is initially given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which it is generated, and if it is hatched in a different game, the hatched Pokémon will be given the Trainer details of that game's player; the problem originates in the fact that this update does not occur until after the cutscene of the Egg hatching, so while it may be Shiny for the player who hatched it, it may not be Shiny for the player who obtained the Egg (or vice versa). This also allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation III were only [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation III)|distributed in Japan]]) to hatch a Shiny Pokémon when they would otherwise be non-Shiny Pokémon. This bug was not fixed until [[Generation VI]].

{{p|Unown}} also has an uneven distribution of Shiny probability depending on its form. This is because {{p|Unown}}'s form is also determined by its [[personality value]]. The exact probability for any given form depends on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, but it can have the values 1/5120, 1/6144, 1/9216, 1/10240, or 1/18432.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|100px|{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}, a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In the [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player once again must encounter a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Shiny Pokémon's coloration is reflected in the overworld if it is used as a [[walking Pokémon]].

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
Generation IV introduced the first ways to increase the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon.

The [[Masuda method]] refers to breeding two Pokémon originating from games of different languages to increase the chances of breeding a Shiny Pokémon. Under these circumstances, the game generates up to five total personality values to attempt to find one that will be Shiny. Despite being obtainable in one's native language savefile, foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, are treated as being from the language of origin shown by the language tag,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1558955387369439232</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1558988423460925440</ref> so if bred with a parent with a different<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1558956869829492737</ref> language of origin, the Masuda method will take effect.

The [[Poké Radar]] slowly improves the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain. The odds can reach a maximum of 41/8192 (approximately 1/200) for a single patch of grass for a chain of length 40 or higher; since up to four patches of grass can shake, the total odds become approximately 1/50. If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny, it constructs a semi-random personality value that will fulfill the requirement for the Pokémon to be Shiny.

====Quirks====
{{a|Cute Charm}} can make it possible for players with certain [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]] combinations to manipulate the chance of Pokémon with specific gender ratios being Shiny to be as high as 21.34% (while making the chance lower for all other players and Pokémon with different gender ratios, while using the Ability). This is due to how Cute Charm forces a wild Pokémon to be a specific gender when it activates, which is accomplished by modifying the Pokémon's [[personality value]] to be one of an extremely limited set of values.

The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation IV were only [[List of traded event Pokémon distributions (Generation IV)|distributed in Japan]]) and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation V===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation V]] introduced a mechanism often referred to as a "Shiny lock", preventing {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Victini}} from being Shiny. Any Pokémon obtained in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e., from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]) are also prevented from being Shiny. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini still have Shiny sprites in the games' data.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (but only two per version). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

Starting in Generation V, Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered was Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The Masuda method now generates up to six total personality values instead of five. This remains the case in later games.

Generation V also introduces the [[Shiny Charm]], a [[Key Item]] that causes the game to generate up to two extra personality values in an attempt to make a wild or bred Pokémon Shiny. This effect can stack with the Masuda method's effect. This item is also available in all future games.

====Quirks====
The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation VI===
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation VI]] slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined to double the default chances that a Pokémon will be Shiny. The basic formula remains the same, but the threshold for a Pokémon to be Shiny is now 16 instead of 8. This results in a base Shiny probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in Generation VI games: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[aura trio]], {{p|Mewtwo}}, the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], and {{p|Deoxys}}. The in-game gift [[Cosplay Pikachu]] also cannot be Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The [[Poké Radar]] returns for [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The exact mechanics of the Poké Radar in these games are not confirmed, but the Poké Radar can still force a Pokémon in a shaking patch to be Shiny.

In X and Y, in the [[Friend Safari]], Shiny Pokémon are more common. The game achieves this by generating up to four extra personality values when checking if a Pokémon will be Shiny. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool/wiki/Friend-Safari-RNG Friend Safari RNG · wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool Wiki · GitHub]</ref>

[[Fishing#Generation VI|Consecutive fishing]] can increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain of reeled-in Pokémon by fishing from the same spot. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the game tries two extra personality values to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of 41/4096 or approximately 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. Unlike most other methods that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon, this does not increase the number of personality values that the game tries, but instead executes a {{DL|DexNav|Shiny probability|custom algorithm}} to decide whether to force a Shiny personality value. In brief summary, the chances of forcing a Shiny Pokémon grow steadily from 0% at Search Level 0 to 0.06% at Search Level 100 (only surpassing the natural odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon at Search Level 41), then grows steadily to 0.08% at Search Level 200, after which the rate of growth becomes 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a random 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

===Generation VII===
[[File:Shiny Tapu Koko.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Tapu Koko}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}. This marks the only time an NPC Trainer outside of a battle facility uses a Shiny Pokémon (excluding capture tutorials).

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
=====Sun and Moon=====
In the {{g|Sun and Moon}}, as well as {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as Pokémon in [[SOS Battle]]s continue calling in allies, the chance that they will be Shiny increases. At chain lengths of 11, 21, and 31, the game will check up to four extra personality values to find a Shiny Pokémon (meaning the maximum number of personality values checked will be 13 for a chain of 31 Pokémon or more). In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the chain length resets to 0 after 255, but in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it does not reset. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/947223541925126144 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

=====Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon=====
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Pokémon encountered through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] (excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s) have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. The Shininess of these Pokémon is determined when the player arrives at the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]. The probability that a Pokémon encountered this way will be Shiny depends on the rarity of the wormhole and the distance traveled.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/946705752265129985 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

Note that 3-ring "blooming" wormholes will always contain Legendary Pokémon (which do not have increased odds of being Shiny), unless all Legendary Pokémon that could be encountered in that particular wormhole have already been caught.

=====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Shiny Pokémon rates can be increased dramatically with catch combos and lures. However, combos past 31 will have no additional effect on shiny chance.

The [[Catch Combo]] bonus is only applied to the next Pokémon of the chained species to spawn after the prior Pokémon is captured, meaning you must continue to catch Pokémon regardless of chain length, or the bonus will not apply to any subsequent spawns. The bonus does not apply to any Pokémon that spawn nearby that do not match the currently chained species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1492970750264979456</ref>

With a catch combo of 31 or higher, a [[Shiny Charm]], and a [[Lure]], the next Pokémon of the chained species to spawn will have the highest shiny chance of 1/273.53.

The above three Shiny-increasing methods have no effect on [[in-game trade]]s or [[Gift Pokémon]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLetsGo/comments/a48ruf/shiny_chances_an_update/</ref>

===Generation VIII===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, [[Symbol encounter|Pokémon that appear in the overworld]] use their standard coloration, regardless of whether they are Shiny or not. They will not be revealed to be Shiny until they are encountered. [[Walking Pokémon]] assigned to follow the player in [[Isle of Armor]], [[Crown Tundra]], and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} outdoor areas will use their correct coloration. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} Shiny Pokémon that appear in the overworld will be colored properly, play the Shiny animation and audio cue when spawning, and periodically play the Shiny animation and audio cue while roaming the overworld.

====Variants====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are two different types of Shiny Pokémon, distinguished only by the type of sparkle animation that plays when they enter battle. One type has an animation with star-shaped sparkles (similar to previous generations), while the other uses square-shaped sparkles.

{{main|#Appearance|Shiny Pokémon → Appearance}}

Like Shininess itself, the type of Shiny sparkle a Pokémon has is determined by its [[personality value]]. Ordinarily, there is a 15/16 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having a personality value that yields star sparkles, and a 1/16 chance of it having a personality value that yields square sparkles. (For Shiny Pokémon obtained in Generation III, IV, or V, due to the different Shiny rate in those games, there is instead a 7/8 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having star sparkles, and a 1/8 chance of it having square sparkles.)

However, wild encounters in Pokémon Sword and Shield have drastically different rates for each Shiny sparkle type. Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild in Pokémon Sword and Shield have a 65521/65536 chance of having square sparkles and a 15/65536 chance of having star sparkles.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197039032112304128</ref> This does not apply to Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, received as {{pkmn2|gift}}s, or encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

Shiny Pokémon obtained from [[Dynamax Adventures]] always have star sparkles. Pokémon that are guaranteed to be Shiny (i.e. from Max Raid Battles during some [[Wild Area News]] events) always have a personality value that yields square sparkles.

Additionally, starting in Pokémon Sword and Shield v1.1.0, Shiny Pokémon met in a [[fateful encounter]] or transferred from [[Pokémon GO]] always have square sparkles, regardless of their personality value.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1273492861065912320</ref>

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, these variants are not distinguishable from each other, as all Shiny Pokémon use the same entry animation with star-shaped sparkles like in previous [[generation]]s.

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as wild Pokémon: the [[Regional form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} at {{DL|Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station}}, {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}, the Galarian [[Legendary birds]], {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}. Additionally, all [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|in-game gift Pokémon]] (except the fossil Pokémon from [[Cara Liss]]) cannot be Shiny.

Pokémon that are too high a level for the player to catch with the current [[Badge]]s (described as "very strong-looking" in-game) cannot be Shiny, except Pokémon that appear as static encounters.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny: the [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|Gift Mew and Jirachi]] in [[Floaroma Town]], and all Pokémon available via [[In-game trade]].

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all [[Legendary]], [[Mythical]], and [[Gift Pokémon|Gift]] Pokémon are prevented from being shiny, as well as certain static encounters during [[Task#Missions|Mission]]s and [[Task#Requests|Request]]s, such as the three Alpha Pokémon found in [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor|Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]'s caves during Missions 14, 15, and 16.
The player can obtain a guaranteed Shiny {{p|Ponyta}} from the {{DL|Task|request}} ''A Peculiar Ponyta''.

=====Max Raid Battles=====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, whether the Pokémon currently occupying an active [[Pokémon Den]] is Shiny or not is determined when the den becomes active, and will not change if the game is reset. For dens activated with a [[Wishing Piece]], the Shiny status of the Pokémon in the den is also predetermined for every subsequent day the den remains active. The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]] is not affected by the [[Shiny Charm]].

Although Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles can always be caught regardless of how many Badges the player has, if the Pokémon's level is too high for the number of [[Badge]]s the player has, it will be forced not to be Shiny. However, because Shiny status is determined when the Max Raid Battle spawns, if the player earns enough Badges before defeating it, the Pokémon will be Shiny upon capture even if they lacked the required Badges when it spawned.

======Wild Area News events======
Pokémon Sword and Shield has had several [[Wild Area News]] events that included Shiny Pokémon. During these events, one of the 5★ [[Max Raid Battle]] encounter slots was guaranteed to be a Shiny Pokémon. As mentioned above, these guaranteed Shiny Pokémon will always have square sparkles.

The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

At the launch of [[The Isle of Armor]], uncatchable {{p|Zeraora}} [[Wild Area News#June 17 to 28, 2020|appeared]] in 3★-5★ raids. In 5★ raids, one of the Zeraora encounters was Shiny and more difficult to defeat. Players eventually received [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)#1 Million Victories Shiny Zeraora|Shiny Zeraora]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] as a reward for collectively defeating over 1 million Zeraora in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1275629411514175488</ref>

=====Traded Eggs=====
Unlike in previous generations, where Eggs keep their original personality values when traded and can potentially go from Shiny to non-Shiny or vice-versa if hatched by a player with a different [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and Secret ID, Eggs traded in Sword and Shield have their personality values altered according to the receiver's TID/SID to ensure they retain their original Shiny status when hatched on a different game.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====

=====Sword and Shield=====

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the number of times that the player has caught or defeated each species of Pokémon increases the chance of Pokémon of that species appearing as a [[Brilliant Pokémon]] in the overworld.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334955461939210</ref> This number is recorded in the player's Pokédex as "Number Battled". The number recorded increases when opponents are defeated in wild battles, Max Raid Battles, and Trainer battles (except [[Link Battle]]s, the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, and [[Restricted Sparring]]).

The appearance rate of Brilliant Pokémon is further increased while [[Brilliant Pokémon#Fishing|chain fishing]]; depending on the length of the chain, a bonus between +2% and +25% will be added to the base appearance rate.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334998474477577</ref>

Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny depending on the "Number Battled" for that species. When determining a Brilliant Pokémon's personality value, if the Pokémon would not be Shiny the game will regenerate the personality value a number of times depending on the "Number Battled", up to a maximum of 6 times.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448335003834851333</ref> Non-Brilliant Pokémon are not affected and do not have enhanced Shiny rates.

=====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl=====

In the [[Grand Underground]], the Lightstone bonus<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1459147114110492676</ref> allows for 1 bonus shiny reroll after all players in an instance of the Grand Underground collect pink sparkles left by Diglett and Dugtrio that occasionally appear at corners and intersections, that give 1 and 3 points respectively.

Accumulating 40 of these points displays the message "something good will happen", and a whistle sound will play to all players in the instance. This increases the shiny odds for Pokémon in [[Grand_Underground#Pok.C3.A9mon_Hideaways|Hideaways]] from 1/4096 to 1/2048.25, for a period of 4 minutes. After the 4 minute period is over, a whistle will sound and the counter resets to 0, allowing Diglett and Dugtrio to appear again.

Additionally, [[Poké Radar]] chaining is available, and has [[Poké_Radar#Chain_Bonuses|Chain Bonuses]] that differ from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, capping out at a Shiny Rate of 1/99 when you reach a chain length of 40+.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1462473371917111303</ref>

=====Legends: Arceus=====

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, completing Research Tasks to increase a Pokémon's Pokédex entry grants extra shiny rolls for that species once the entry reaches Level 10, and completing all Research Tasks for a given entry upgrades that entry to "Perfect", granting even more shiny rolls that stack with other bonus rolls.

The Shiny Charm in this game also grants 3 additional shiny rolls (instead of 2 in prior games), and is obtainable after all Pokédex entries are at Research 10.

Massive Mass Outbreaks grant 12 additional rolls, and Mass Outbreaks grant an additional 25 rolls, both of which will stack with any rolls granted from the Shiny Charm, or your Pokédex Research progress for that species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1498056331315625984</ref>

{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}

[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.png|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Minccino}} in the introduction screen]]
It is possible for all of the following NPC Pokémon to be Shiny:
* The {{p|Poochyena}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}} that attacks [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Zigzagoon}} that [[Wally]] uses in the capture tutorial in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

==In the side series games==
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting different colors that are different than their shiny counterparts (red eyes instead of the usual yellow)]]
===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], non-Shiny Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name. Pokémon Eggs change colors in the same way, as the game internally considers "EGG" to be a nickname. Additionally, Smeargle's back and tail markings can be red, green or blue depending on its DVs.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u4PDIfP9VerQSQibzHPzQh5oRNBUhmEi10F4kZ2uuho/edit?usp=sharing</ref>

In Stadium 2, nicknamed Shiny Pokémon do not vary in color. This also applies to Eggs containing Shiny Pokémon, meaning it's possible to determine if a Pokémon is Shiny before it hatches since it will always be the basic Egg color.

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|Kids Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points. In Pokémon Stadium 2 mini-games, when a compatible [[Pokémon Storage System|box]] or [[party]] Pokémon is not available from a [[Transfer Pak]] or it is disconnected, there are [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games#List of mini-games 2|color variations that it defaults to]].

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

It is possible for [[Challenge Cup]] Pokémon to be Shiny.

===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny {{p|Voltorb}} in Colosseum]]
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]
{{main|List of glitches (Generation III)#Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug|List of glitches (Generation III) → Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, non-Shadow Pokémon obtained in the game (such as the player's starter {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} and [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}}) are prevented from being Shiny.

There is roughly a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny. When a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is first encountered, it is assigned a random [[personality value]], but the game ensures that the personality value does not cause it to be Shiny for its NPC Trainer (using that Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID). When the player catches the Shadow Pokémon, because it retains that same personality value but now has a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, it is possible for the Shadow Pokémon to be Shiny for the player. In subsequent encounters, the Shadow Pokémon retains the same personality value it had in the first encounter (meaning that whether it is Shiny for the player or not cannot change); however, because its NPC Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID can differ, it can be Shiny for its NPC Trainer in these subsequent encounters.

[[Purification]] has no effect on the Shiny status of a Pokémon: Shiny Pokémon remain Shiny, and non-Shiny Pokémon cannot become Shiny.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, non-Shadow Pokémon (such as the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[in-game trade]]s, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon) can be Shiny.

Like in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]] cannot be Shiny. (Including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Phione}}, which despite having variable [[personality value]]s, they both use the [[Pseudorandom_number_generation_in_Pokémon#Alternative_pseudorandom_number_generator_.28ARNG.29 | antishiny ARNG]] generation method which prevents them from being Shiny, the same way as Type 1 [[Wonder Card]] Pokémon and {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Manaphy}} Egg.)

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseum can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon. Similarly to Colosseum, the shiny Pokémon can be drastically different from their handheld counterparts.{{-}}

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
[[File:Shiny Roserade PMD BSL.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Roserade]]
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Stat|Belly}} stat starts at 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
[[File:Shiny Ho-Oh PMD GTI.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiny Ho-Oh]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon at [[Eternal Ruins]] through a [[Legend of the Mysterious Ruins]] job request. This Shiny Ho-Oh has a slightly different moveset to the regular Ho-Oh that can be met. It also has a unique animation that plays before the battle begins.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
[[File:Shiny Celebi PSMD.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Celebi]]
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
[[File:Shiny Gyarados PMDDX.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Gyarados]]
27 [[Mystery Dungeon]]s, once completed for the first time, will have "Strong Foe" Pokémon that spawn. These Pokémon have a higher than normal chance of being Shiny compared to the main series. Shiny Pokémon cannot be recruited unless the Player has the [[Friend Bow]] equipped and the Shiny Pokémon's respective Camp purchased. [[Recruitment]] is still not guaranteed if these criteria are met.

Additionally, the Shiny Celebi from past Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also makes a cameo appearance, and can be recruited after clearing [[Purity Forest]] and visiting Mystery Houses—rare rooms that spawn in post-game dungeons—with an invitation.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, {{SSB|Greninja}}, and {{SSB|Incineroar}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat, and one of {{p|Incineroar}}'s alternate colorations greatly resembles its Shiny coloration; {{p|Mewtwo}} also has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Squirtle and Ivysaur both have their current Shiny colorations, but Charizard has its original Shiny coloration from {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold/Silver}}/{{v2|Crystal}}. All other playable Pokémon in the series do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
[[File:Shiny Mothim PR.png|left|200px|thumb|Shiny Mothim]]
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the core series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

The Pokémon that appear during the credits can be Shiny, as well.

====Pokémon Rumble U====
Shiny Pokémon return to the [[Pokémon Rumble series]] in [[Pokémon Rumble U]] though are only obtainable through the use of passwords or the NFC Rumble U Figures.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of the main scenario. {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions (Generation V)|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are 15 Shiny Pokémon, including [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, in [[Pokémon Shuffle]]: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Diancie}}. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its [[Skill]], experience, level, [[Mega Effects|Mega Effect]] (where applicable), and sometimes type.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, certain Pokémon species have a chance of being Shiny, with each species having its own Shiny rate. For most Pokémon, the Shiny rate is approximately 1 in 450. However, in certain [[List of events (GO)|in-game events]], the Shiny chance may be increased for certain Pokémon. For example, on [[Community Day]]s, the featured Pokémon will always have increased Shiny odds. Shiny Pokémon may be encountered through any method: randomly in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, from hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, by completing [[Field Research]] tasks, by winning {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, or as [[GO Battle League]] rewards. All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a Raid Battle, the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny during battle, but it may become Shiny during the bonus challenge. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.

===Pokémon Duel===
There are several figures that are Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Duel]]. These figures are usually posed identically or near-identically to their regular Pokémon counterparts. A Shiny figure's Data Disk is always identical to the regular version's but a few have different Abilities. A Shiny figure cannot evolve or change form into a non-Shiny figure nor vice-versa. Additionally, a Shiny figure cannot be selected to be made into a {{DL|Tournament (Duel)|Golden and Silver Figures|Golden or Silver Figure}}. The following is a list of Shiny figures.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 99.png|thumb|Gold Magikarp|100px]]
A Shiny {{p|Magikarp}}, referred to as a Gold Magikarp, is one of the possible Magikarp to fish in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Shiny {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Corsola}} may also appear in random encounter events during feeding. If the player breaks the [[Everstone]] that the Shiny {{p|Magikarp}} is holding and evolves it into a {{p|Gyarados}}, the {{p|Gyarados}} will also be Shiny.

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Shiny Tangela PQ.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Tangela]]
Pokémon can appear Shiny in [[Pokémon Quest]]. When viewing the Pokémon's details, the Pokémon's picture will appear in its shiny coloration. The only benefit to having a Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Quest]] is to gain 20 PM Tickets. Otherwise, it is just an aesthetic feature. The exact chance is unknown, but is estimated to be between 1/75 and 1/100.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], some of the {{mas|Egg Pokémon}} have a chance to be a Shiny variant. The first Shiny Pokémon to be made available to a character other than the player character was {{p|Rayquaza}}, who appears paired with {{mas|Steven}} in his [[Steven (Masters)#Rayquaza|Anniversary 2021]] appearance. Alternate outfit versions of {{mas|Sonia}}, {{mas|Morty}}, and {{mas|Hilda}} have also teamed up with Shiny Pokémon since then.

Shiny {{p|Celebi}} also makes its appearance during the [[List of special events (Masters)|special events]] Double Trouble and Blasting Off Again.

===Pokémon Café ReMix===
In [[Pokémon Café Mix]], there was only Shiny {{p|Celebi}} available as a part of special event from December 23, 2020 to January 31, 2021. There were no new Shiny Pokémon added until the major overhaul.

In Pokémon Café ReMix, Shiny Pokémon can now be found randomly when selecting a customer. Similar to [[Pokémon GO]], new Shiny Pokémon are added over time, the first being Shiny {{p|Minccino}} and {{p|Eevee}}. Shiny variants are treated as separate Pokémon, although they share the same speciality (except for Celebi), skill and alternate outfits with normal variants. From January 12, 2022 the "Shuffle Customers" button now shines if there's a Shiny Pokémon in the customer pool.

Sometimes there are events called ''Welcome, Shiny Pokémon!'' that increase Shiny encounter rate for specific Pokémon, or in Shiny {{p|Rowlet}}'s case, are distributed via daily stamp during certain events. The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

==In the anime==
===Main series===
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
[[File:Ash Noctowl sparkling.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Noctowl]] sparkling as it exits its Poké Ball, similarly to the games]]
[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until [[Generation II]], several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, and therefore may not be counted as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternately colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. Another example would be in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', where a non-standard alternately colored {{p|Mareanie}} (who happens to be [[James's Mareanie]]'s first love) appears, and later evolves into a {{p|Toxapex}}.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Archipelago, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

[[File:Shiny Hisuian Zorua Hisuian Snow.png|thumb|250px|Shiny Hisuian Zorua in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]

===Pokémon Generations===
In [[PG04|''The Lake of Rage'']], [[Red Gyarados]] appeared at the [[Lake of Rage]].

===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
A Shiny {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zorua}} debuted in ''[[HIS01|Onto the Icy Blue]]'', which was befriended by [[Alec]]. In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Zoroark}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gyara Dragon Rage Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|250px|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Colress Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny Genesect in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

===Movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Mega Rayquaza.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
{{adv|Silver}} captured a [[Silver's Gyarados|Shiny Gyarados]], the raging leader of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

===={{chap|Black & White}}====
A Shiny {{p|Genesect}} appeared in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', although it wasn't revealed to be Shiny at this time.

===={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', the Shiny Genesect was revealed to be owned by [[Colress]], who used it to battle [[Blake's Genesect]].

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Lance Gyarados JNM.png|thumb|100px|The red Gyarados in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{main|Lance's Gyarados}}
The red Gyarados, owned by [[Lance]], appeared in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. It participated in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and was defeated by {{an|Leon}} and his {{p|Charizard}}.

A Shiny {{p|Larvesta}} appeared in the [[JNM24|final chapter]] of the manga. It evolved into a {{p|Volcarona}}, which [[Goh]] collected scales from to clear his [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]].

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it {{Berries}}. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
The Red Gyarados makes an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'' where Team Rocket plots on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves while at the same time, Clefairy went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]] through [[Generation VII]] , it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a {{player}} hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny {{p|Manaphy}}.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available (excluding [[Wild Area News]]), with two.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], {{p|Castform}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|weather forms]] and {{p|Magearna}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|default form]] had the same colors regardless of whether they were Shiny or not (although the latter is not legitimately available in its Shiny coloration).

Talk:Delibird (Pokémon)

2022-01-20T00:11:04Z

Silverlucario: /* #225 */

== Sack ==

Sack-like tail? That's an actual *sack*. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}

> Uh, no that's the end of it's tail curled up. Check it's PokeDex articles: "DELIBIRD carries its food bundled up in its tail.". It's just a long, feathery tail that it carries stuff in by holding the end of it over it's shoulder.

- Zeta {{unsigned|Zeta}}

What dex is that from? Because on the show it was carrying a bag seperately, and that's also the way it shows up in Stadium. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}

That's it's entry in both Ruby and Sapphire. This is the complete entry:

"DELIBIRD carries its food bundled up in its tail. There once was a famous explorer who managed to reach the peak of Mt. Everest thanks to one of these POKéMON sharing its food."

- Zeta {{unsigned|Zeta}}

And if Delibird's "sack" ''is'' it's tail, why is it incapable of learning {{m|Iron Tail}}?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 18:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I take back what I said after seeing "Delibird's Dilema" yesterday, I grudgingly accept the fact that Delibird's sack ''is'' it's tail. The "sack" stayed attached to Delibird's hindquaters when he wasn't holding on to it (even when [[Ash's Noctowl]] grabbed the tail-sack).--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 00:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

:Man, I wish Delibird didn't have crap stats. It's one of my favorites :( - [[User:Doug teh H-Nut|superdoogles]] 03:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

== Santa ==

Is "myths of Santa Claus" appropriate? --[[User:Ainohuyuah|Ainohuyuah]] 12:37, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

>Don't tell me you're worried that Delibird's page will crush someone's belief in Santa Clause *rolls eyes*

- Zeta {{unsigned|Zeta}}

Yes because I'm concerned for the wider demographic that will be using this site. The article does not need to confirm the existence of Santa Claus it only needs to not mention it is a myth.--[[User:Ainohuyuah|Ainohuyuah]] 22:58, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh come '''on'''... Next you'll be wanting Wikipedia to add a spoiler notice on their article... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 23:04, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I seriously doubt that anyone under the age of ten will be using this website. If kids still believe in Santa Claus at that age, it's the parents' problem, not ours. -[[User:Argy|Argy]] 03:09, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is it just me, or did Delibird make a shadowy appearance in Holiday Hi-Jynx? During the special, there was a shadow of something that looked like Delibird following the group in the distance. It only makes a single appearance, but when I saw the special a second time after playing Silver, I was almost certain it was Delibird. Of course, that was years ago, and I could have been mistaken, wanting Delibird to show up in the Christmas episode; it may have been Santa or something else, or I could just be remembering it wrong. Has anyone else seen that shadowy thing on the snowy hill in the episode? I don't have a copy of the special, so I can't check. ~Kumori Satosuke 15:45:35, 26 October 2007

:Why do we need to mention Santa that isn't real? We just need to mention that Delibird is based on him. Nothing else.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 19:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== in the pokemon woeld how do we know?==
''Even though penguins appear only in the southern hemisphere of the earth, Delibird is owned by the north-dwelling Santa Claus'' how do we know that it lives in the south
in gold and the oever one they wher in the north, same go,s for Santa Claus as you call
him [[User:GoldsWigglytuff|GoldsWigglytuff]] 19:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pokémon Colosseum Data ==
I'm just wondering, is there a reason as to why there is no Colosseum purified moveset on this page (eg, {{p|Makuhita}} for example)

If someone could help me put one in, I'd be very grateful... I've got an untouched, purified Delibird sitting around [[User:Jake30502|Jake30502]] 19:35, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Cloyster learns Rapid Spin and is part-Ice ==
Therefor I deleted the trivia passage saying it's the only Ice-type to learn Rapid Spin. {{unsigned|Gorebyss}}

:That's what edit summaries are for, and PLEASE sign your comments. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 12:40, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== It's abilities ==
both increase the chances of encountering a higher level Pokémon by 50%.--[[User:Chaos Theory|Chaos Theory]] 16:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

== Unprotect ==

== The tail (again) ==
So the bottom of the sack is where it attaches to its body, and the opening is the tip of the tail, right? So the poor thing has to hold it at all times or else it all falls out. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] 21:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Should it be noted in the Physiology and/or Origin sections that its facial feathers look like a snowflake design? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] 21:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Ninetales has a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
Ninetales is a fox-like, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine, long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.

While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes that are said to give it the ability to control minds. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

In the [[Alola]] region, Ninetales has a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Finally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Ninetales]</ref>

==In the anime==
[[File:Ninetales BW135.png|thumb|left|250px|Ninetales in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]] and in some {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon names|prerelease material}}.
* Ninetales and Vulpix share their {{pkmn|category}} name with the {{p|Fennekin}} evolutionary line, {{p|Nickit}}, and {{p|Thievul}}. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.

===Origin===
Ninetales may be based on a {{wp|red fox}} and the 狐 ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of {{wp|Japanese mythology|Japanese legend}}, which are said to have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and supernatural powers such as the ability to breath fire. After reaching an advanced age, ''kitsune'' take on {{wp|spirit}} forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn various {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves. Specifically, it may be based on the ''kyūbi no kitsune'', whose fur turns white-gold after it has lived for 1,000 years and gains its ninth tail.

Alolan Ninetales may be based on an {{wp|Arctic fox}}, which grows a white coat of fur in the winter to {{wp|camouflage}} in the snow. Its mountain habitat and lore as a deity incarnation may be a reference to {{wp|Poliʻahu}}, the {{wp|Hawaiian}} goddess of snow who is said to reside on {{wp|Mauna Kea}}. It could also be inspired by ''tulikettu'', a mythical fox creature of Finnish lore whose radiant fur is said to be responsible for the creation of the {{wp|Aurora|northern lights}}. The Finnish word for aurora, ''revontulet'', also literally translates to "fox fires" which could be intentional as Ninetales' original form is Fire Type.

====Name origin====
Ninetales may be a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', which itself may combine ''tails'' and ''{{wp|fairy tale}}s'' (alluding to it being based on a mythical creature). It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip (due to its tendency to punish anyone who grabs its tails).

Kyukon may be a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) and 恨 ''kon'' (grudge; from the curse it may cast on its foes), こんこん ''kon kon'' (the sound foxes make), コンロ ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}; relating to its {{t|Fire}} type), or 狐 ''ko'' (an alternate reading of ''kitsune''; Japanese for ''fox''). Alternatively, it can be read as 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge).

List of Transform glitches

2021-06-29T22:52:32Z

Silverlucario: I don't see attributions like this for other glitches. Additionally, the first video was about Emerald and wasn't relevant for this section.

These are glitches involving the move {{m|Transform}}.

==List of glitches==
===Generation I===
{{main|List of glitches (Generation I)}}

====--====
{{main|-- (move)}}
In Generation I, if a Pokémon transforms into another Pokémon that knows more moves and, while transformed, switches around the copied moves with the '''SELECT''' button, after the battle the Pokémon will not have {{m|Transform}} and will instead have the [[glitch move]] {{m|--}}. This can also be done with Pokémon that have used {{m|Mimic}} in order to use Transform.

{{Youtubevid|hzY0nFn_8SE|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Normal}}

====Ditto glitch====
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

====Color loss glitch====
In [[Generation I]] only, a transformed Pokémon will lose its color and become gray if any of these happen:

* If the transformed Pokémon uses Transform again
* If the other Pokémon successfully uses any move on the transformed Pokémon
* If the opposing Pokémon is transformed and the player throws a [[Poké Ball]] on it (including a failed Poké Ball thrown in a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}})
* If the player opens the [[party]] screen and returns to battle

====Level up moveset glitch====
Only in [[Generation I]], if a transformed Pokémon levels up and learns a new move, it will use its original moveset (unaffected by Transform) from this point onwards in the current battle. Additionally, any PP lost from this point onwards in the current battle will not affect the Pokémon's actual PP as shown in the [[summary]], which will effectively be restored once the transformed Pokémon switches out, faints, or the battle ends. For instance, if a {{p|Mew}} transformed into {{p|Pikachu}} reaches the level 20 and learns {{m|Mega Punch}}, then it will have Mew's moveset (including Mega Punch) from this point onwards in the current battle, not Pikachu's moveset (even though Mew remains transformed into Pikachu). If that Mew had 29 PP remaining for {{m|Pound}} when it transformed, then it will still lose PP as usual for each use of Pound, if any (decreasing to 28 PP, then 27 PP, and so on), but once the current battle ends, Mew will still be shown to have 29 PP for Pound, just like it had before transforming.

====Transform + Mirror Move/Metronome PP error====
If {{m|Mirror Move}} or {{m|Metronome}} is used by a {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon, the move of the same slot in that Pokémon's actual moveset will have its PP increased by 1. This occurs even if there is no move in that slot, which can prevent the use of {{m|Struggle}} or cause a softlock when targeted by {{m|Disable}}. PP of slots without moves will not be reset to 0 when healing at a [[Pokémon Center]]; the glitch can only be repaired by repeating it 256 times, at which point the PP count will overflow to 0.

{{YouTubeEmbed|_c7tQkSyz7E|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_}}

===Generations I and II===
====Transform assumption glitch====
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, if the player catches any transformed Pokémon, that Pokémon is permanently converted to a {{p|Ditto}}.

This means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue in these games because a wild Mew could not be legitimately encountered prior to [[Generation III]]. However, the Clefairy, Pidgey, and Fearow lines, which could be found in the wild, could use Transform via Metronome and Mirror Move, and would turn into Ditto on capture. This system was fixed in Generation III.

All the moves previously known by this Pokémon are lost, as its only move when caught will be {{m|Transform}}.

If a transformed wild Pokémon is caught in a Generation I game (and becomes a Ditto), then Ditto's [[catch rate]] will be saved as well, so this Ditto will be holding a [[Metal Powder]] if [[transfer]]red to a Generation II game (regardless of the original or transformed species). However, if a transformed wild Pokémon is caught in a Generation II game, this wild Pokémon's [[held item]] (if any) remains unaffected by this glitch.

{{Youtubevid|zHHz-wQ1qFk|channel/UCygzs1A-1EFESFgk0Rqph5w|name=pokemontutorialTV|Normal}}

====Transform DV manipulation glitch====
If the opposing Pokémon (either a [[wild Pokémon]] or a Pokémon owned by a [[non-player character]]) uses {{m|Transform}} twice in the same battle (that is, uses Transform when it is already transformed), it will retain the {{IV|DVs}} of the penultimate Pokémon it transformed into.

There are some additional effects:
* If a wild Pokémon uses Transform twice, and then is {{pkmn2|caught}} by the player, these manipulated DVs are kept by the caught Pokémon. However, the caught Pokémon will always be {{p|Ditto}} due to the {{DL||Transform assumption glitch}}.
* In [[Generation II]] only, if a Pokémon owned by a [[non-player character]] uses Transform twice, and then the player uses {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} to force the NPC to switch Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent as a result of this move will have the same manipulated DVs as the previous Pokémon. (conversely, if the NPC switches Pokémon because the previous Pokémon fainted, the next Pokémon sent will have its original DVs, unaffected by this glitch)
** See {{DL||Roar/Whirlwind shared DV glitch}}.

Some examples:
* If the player already has any Pokémon with Transform ({{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Mew}} or certain [[glitch Pokémon]]) that has perfect DVs (15 for Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special), then this glitch can be used to catch wild Ditto perfect DVs as well. This is accomplished by waiting for a wild Ditto to use Transform twice against the player's Pokémon, and then [[caught Pokémon|catching]] this wild Ditto.
** In [[Generation I]] only, if the player has any Pokémon with {{m|Mimic}}, then it is also possible to catch a wild Ditto with the same DVs as the player's Pokémon. This is accomplished if the player's Pokémon uses Mimic and copies Ditto's Transform, and then the wild Ditto uses Transform twice (by first using its original Transform move, and then using Transform that was copied by the player with Mimic).
** In both Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the move {{m|Metronome}} has a slim chance of calling Transform as well. This can be used to perform this glitch.
* This glitch can be used to catch a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}.
** See {{DL||Shiny Ditto glitch}}.
* This glitch can be used to change the gender of the opposing Pokémon.
** See {{DL||Transform gender change glitch}}.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
This is based on the {{DL||Transform DV manipulation glitch}}.

If the player already has any [[Shiny Pokémon]] with {{m|Transform}} (possibly a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, or [[glitch Pokémon]]), then it is possible to use this glitch to catch Shiny Ditto. It is not possible to catch a Shiny version of any other Pokémon species using this method, due to the additional glitch in both Generations I and II that causes any transformed wild Pokémon to be a Ditto when caught.

Due to {{Shiny|Shininess}} being determined by DVs in Generation II, if a non-Shiny wild Pokémon transforms into a Shiny Pokémon and then uses Transform again, it will become Shiny. Conversely, if a Shiny wild Pokémon transforms into a non-Shiny Pokémon and then uses Transform again, it will become non-Shiny. This way, a wild Pokémon can even switch between Shiny and non-Shiny versions multiple times in the same battle. This does not work when Transform is used by a Pokémon owned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} (either the [[player character|player]] or a [[non-player character]]).

This allows the player to make a {{pkmn2|wild}} Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already transformed. This is possible by using a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform in battle against a wild Ditto, and then waiting for the wild Ditto to use Transform twice (by first using its original Transform move, and then using the Transform that was copied from the player's Pokémon). In Generation II games, after the wild Pokémon transformed twice in the current battle, it still appears with its original color palette at first. However, if the player opens the [[party|list of Pokémon]] or the [[Bag|Pack]] and then returns to battle, or simply catches that wild Pokémon, the color palette will be updated. At this point, a Ditto that was originally non-Shiny (purple) will appear with its Shiny (blue) color palette.

Alternatively, the player may [[transfer]] a Shiny Pokémon with {{m|Mimic}} from a [[Generation II]] to a [[Generation I]] game (even though this Pokémon won't appear as Shiny in the Generation I game, it still will have the correct DVs of a Shiny Pokémon). In Generation I (but not in Generation II), {{m|Mimic}} is able to copy Transform, and it can even copy moves that haven't been used yet (because the player chooses the move from a list). If the player uses that Shiny Pokémon with Mimic in battle against a wild Ditto in Generation I, the player's Pokémon can use Mimic to copy the wild Ditto's Transform, and then the wild Ditto can use Transform twice (by first using its original Transform move, and then using Transform that was copied by the player with Mimic). As a result, the wild Ditto will have the same DVs as the player's Shiny Pokémon, and therefore will be a Shiny Ditto; its Shiny appearance will be shown if it's caught and transferred to a Generation II game.

{{Youtubevid|8Lb5pq0y6h8|channel/UCM-mVhpa-qe_QJXSDiCWGFw|name=v0id19|Normal}}

====Transform gender change glitch====
This is based on the {{DL||Transform DV manipulation glitch}}.

This glitch can be used to change the gender of a male or female Pokémon in battle. It works with [[wild Pokémon]], as well as Pokémon owned by a [[non-player character]]. However, if a wild Pokémon is caught after this glitch is performed, it will become a {{p|Ditto}} (a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]]) because of the {{DL||Transform assumption glitch}}.

Usually, a Pokémon that uses Transform keeps its original gender, even while it is transformed. For instance, a female {{p|Smeargle}} using Transform stays female during its transformation, no matter the gender of the copied Pokémon. However, due to [[gender]] being determined by DVs in Generation II, if a male or female Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon with the correct DVs for the opposite gender (according to the gender ratio of the original species before it was transformed), and then uses Transform again, then the gender of the transformed Pokémon will change.

For instance, {{p|Clefairy}}'s gender ratio is [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to three females|one male to three females]], therefore any Clefairy with an {{stat|Attack}} DV between 0-11 is female, and between 12-15 is male. If the player uses a Ditto with 15 Attack DVs against a female Clefairy, and then Clefairy uses {{m|Metronome}} to call {{m|Transform}}, Clefairy will become a Ditto as well. At this point, Clefairy will have Ditto's DVs, but will retain its female gender symbol because Clefairy's original DVs are still used to determine its gender. If the player then switches to {{p|Pikachu}}, and Clefairy (transformed into Ditto) uses Transform again, Clefairy will transform into a Pikachu and will become male (its gender symbol will change to male), because Ditto's DVs are now used to determine Clefairy's gender.

Additionally, if the player performs this glitch against a non-player character's Pokémon, and then the player uses {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} to force the NPC to switch Pokémon, then the {{DL||Roar/Whirlwind shared DV glitch}} will be activated as well. This means that the next Pokémon sent by the NPC will have the same DVs and therefore will also change its gender, depending on their [[gender ratio]].

===Generation II===
{{main|List of glitches (Generation II)}}

====Roar/Whirlwind shared DV glitch====
This is based on the {{DL||Transform DV manipulation glitch}}.

In [[Generation II]] only, if a Pokémon owned by a [[non-player character]] uses Transform twice, and then the player uses {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} to force the NPC to switch Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent as a result of this move will have the same manipulated DVs as the previous Pokémon. (conversely, if the NPC switches Pokémon because the previous Pokémon fainted, the next Pokémon sent will have its original DVs, unaffected by this glitch)

For instance, if the player uses a Ditto with the lowest possible DVs (0 for Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special), and the NPC's Pokémon uses Transform twice against this Ditto (the first Transform possibly from {{m|Metronome}}, and the second Transform copied from Ditto), then the NPC's Pokémon will retain these DVs as well. If the player uses Roar or Whirlwind to force the NPC to switch Pokémon, then the next Pokémon will have 0 DVs as well.

Additionally, this glitch can be used to transform the NPC's Pokémon into [[Shiny Pokémon]], and/or to change their [[gender]] (see {{DL||Transform gender change glitch}}) by manipulating their DVs.

If the NPC copies the DVs of a [[Shiny Pokémon]] owned by the player by using this glitch, the next Pokémon sent by the NPC as a result of Roar or Whirlwind will be Shiny as well. That Shiny Pokémon will display the sparkle animation when entering battle, but it will appear with the non-Shiny color palette at first. Once the player opens the [[party]] or [[Bag|Pack]], that NPC's Pokémon will appear with the Shiny color palette.

As another example, this glitch may be performed to cause [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Miltank}} to be {{Shiny}}. One possible way to do this would be by battling her with a Shiny {{p|Ditto}} as the first Pokémon, and a {{p|Pidgeot}} with {{m|Whirlwind}} to be used later. The player's Ditto must not use Transform (that is, it must stay as a Ditto). If Whitney's {{p|Clefairy}} uses {{m|Metronome}} and calls Transform, then Clefairy will transform into Ditto. Once Clefairy is transformed, the player may switch into Pidgeot. After Whitney's Clefairy (transformed into Ditto) uses Transform for the second time, it will transform into Pidgeot and will retain the Shiny Ditto's DVs (even though Clefairy will not appear as Shiny yet). If Pidgeot uses Whirlwind, it will force Whitney to switch into Miltank, which will have the same DVs and therefore will be Shiny. If Pidgeot uses Whirlwind again, Whitney's Clefairy will be switched back, and will be Shiny as well.

{{YouTubeVid|oq67mBVHbtI|channel/UCvmA2-12D8aYdrmw9gve5Iw|Normal|name=Daniel CM}}

====Sketch glitch====
In [[Generation II]], if a Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}} while transformed, it will permanently learn the sketched move, normally replacing Transform. A move can then be passed down as an [[Egg Move]] through {{pkmn|breeding}} with a female Pokémon if the transforming Pokémon is {{p|Ditto}} or male.

This was commonly exploited with Ditto by using a [[Trainer House]] Trainer who has a {{p|Smeargle}} acquired using [[Mystery Gift]]. The most popular method was to face this Trainer in the Trainer House and have the user's Pokémon Transform into a Smeargle with at least one move other than Sketch. The user's Pokémon could then copy the other move via Sketch or if necessary defeat the Smeargle and Sketch another attack.

Alternatively, a Pokémon with {{m|Metronome}} has a slim chance of using Transform, giving it the chance to copy a move via Sketch which replaces Metronome with this move at the end of the battle. This includes several Pokémon who learn Metronome from [[TM35]] in [[Generation I]] ({{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Golem}}, etc.) who can be [[trade]]d to a [[Generation II]] game and permanently learn new moves by using this glitch.

Additionally, glitches with the potential of changing the species of another Pokémon such as the [[Pokémon merge glitch]] can also be used as part of extensions of the Sketch glitch in order to teach Pokémon Transform or Metronome to exploit the Sketch glitch.

{{youtubevid|AFiBxAOkCGI|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

====Shiny Transform switch====
If a {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon defeats a Trainer's Pokémon and the player switches it out to a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when prompted to, the transformed Pokémon will have a Shiny palette while being switched. This does not happen if player switches Pokémon normally.

{{YouTubeVid|VbPRiHBNh-M|BrightcynderPhase2|Normal}}

====Mirror Move failure====
In [[Generation II]] only, {{m|Mirror Move}} always fails when used by a transformed Pokémon.

===Generation III===
{{main|List of glitches (Generation III)}}

====Level up stat glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|It is currently unknown what other games this glitch is present in, if any.}}

In [[Pokémon Emerald]], if a transformed Pokémon levels up during battle, it will utilize its normal, non-transformed stats for the remainder of the fight.

===Generation IV===
{{main|List of glitches (Generation IV)}}

====Transform held item glitch====
In Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon [[Held item|holding an item]] uses Transform and has its item stolen, as long as it does not faint before the end of the battle, both the transforming Pokémon and the thief will retain the item after the battle.

====Transform faint glitch====
In the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if a transformed Pokémon faints, it will keep the moves it learned via Transform. This glitch may be potentially used to teach any move (except {{m|Struggle}}) to the transformed Pokémon. Any of the previous moves are deleted, including Transform.

Alternatively, {{m|Transform}} may also be called by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Assist}}, or {{m|Metronome}}. For instance, a {{p|Gengar}} with {{m|Mimic}} can temporarily copy {{m|Transform}} in battle, and then transform itself into a Pokémon with the desired moveset in order to perform this glitch. If Gengar faints while transformed, it will keep the moveset copied with Transform.

Exploiting this glitch allows for {{p|Ditto}} to learn moves other than {{m|Transform}}, and to subsequently pass down any [[Egg Move]] in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} if the paired Pokémon is female.

This glitch also allows Ditto to enter {{pkmn|Super Contest|Super Contests}} and earn their respective [[Ribbon]]s. Usually, Ditto would be unable to enter any Super Contest, because only Pokémon with at least two moves may enter.


{{youtubevid|Ize8rlv9ivU|CollectorTogami|Normal}}

====Rage glitch====
In [[Generation IV]], this glitch causes a transformed Pokémon with {{m|Rage}} to keep the moveset acquired via Transform (including Rage itself) even after the battle ends. Any of the previous moves are deleted, including Transform.

This glitch is activated if a Pokémon uses Rage and then is hit by another Pokémon, which causes the "<Pokémon>'s rage is building!" message to appear. Once this is done, the transformed Pokémon needs to finish this battle by using a move other than Rage, or the player must finish this battle by [[caught Pokémon|catching]] the opposing Pokémon. After the battle is over, the transformed Pokémon will retain this moveset.

{{youtubevid|xX2SwDhUTek|BozoTheBear|normal}}

Alternatively, {{m|Transform}} may also be called by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Assist}}, or {{m|Metronome}}. For instance, a {{p|Gengar}} with {{m|Mimic}} can temporarily copy {{m|Transform}} in battle, and then transform itself into a Pokémon with Rage in order to perform this glitch. At the end of the battle, Gengar will keep the moveset copied with Transform.

{{youtubevid|qFEU9NjknRY|BozoTheBear|normal}}

This glitch may be potentially used to teach almost any move to a Pokémon, by transforming it into a {{p|Smeargle}} that knows Rage as well as the desired moves to be copied (except {{m|Chatter}} or {{m|Struggle}}, which can't be legitimately learned by Smeargle).

Exploiting this glitch allows for {{p|Ditto}} to learn moves other than {{m|Transform}}, and to subsequently pass down any [[Egg Move]] in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} if the paired Pokémon is female.

This glitch also allows Ditto to enter {{pkmn|Super Contest|Super Contests}} and earn their respective [[Ribbon]]s. Usually, Ditto would be unable to enter any Super Contest, because only Pokémon with at least two moves may enter.

====Level up stats glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|It is currently unknown what other games this glitch is present in, if any.}}
In {{game|Heart Gold and Soul Silver|s}}, if a transformed Pokémon levels up during battle, it will utilize its normal, non-transformed stats for the remainder of the fight.

List of glitches in Generation I

2021-02-19T08:26:46Z

Silverlucario: /* Yami shop */

{{Incomplete|article|Loads of missing newly discovered glitches; could also use some better organization; probably should make a section for "all handheld games" vs "all games" seeing how there's lots of in-battle glitches that were alternately fixed or still occur in Stadium}}

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It applies to both the original [[Game Boy]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases unless otherwise noted.

==Red and Blue==
===All releases===
====Evolution stone bypassing====
{{GlitchResearch|Glitch Pokémon which evolve by items}}
{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone}} can be evolved without the use of an [[Evolution stone]] after a [[Pokémon battle|battle]]. If the Pokémon has [[level]]ed up during the battle, and the battle has been finished with another [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] whose [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index number]] corresponds to the [[List of items by index number (Generation I)|index number]] of the Evolution stone that causes the [[Evolution]], the game will erroneously begin the Evolution as if the Pokémon evolved after leveling up.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #fff; border: 5px solid #339"
|-
! style="background: #339; color:white; {{roundytl|5px}}" | {{color2|FFF|Evolution stone|Stone}}

Some [[glitch Pokémon]] with unusual evolution flags may evolve this way according to the game 'after exposure to an item', which is not necessarily an Evolution stone.

====Freezing the game in Oak's Laboratory====
If the player holds "A" at the moment they interact with the Poké Ball in Oak's Laboratory, the game will be frozen until the player lets go of the button.

{{Youtubevid|3dYWCKeTDXM|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Green}}

====Hooked Dragonite glitch====
The Hooked Dragonite glitch is one of several odd effects that can occur after running out of Safari Zone steps while the NPC is guiding Red to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The player must first perform the Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick and try to run out of steps as the NPC in Pewter City is guiding the player to the museum. If done correctly, the player will be teleported to the Safari Zone entrance, then upon leaving will instead be exiting from the [[PokéMart]] in [[Pewter City]] and a textbox pops up. Then they must save and reset.

Afterwards the player will find the NPC infinitely walking downwards and looping each time he goes offscreen. The player must then talk to him while standing to the left of the Pokémon Center entrance, then instead of a usual walking sequence, Red and the NPC will be indefinitely standing in place while the "follow me" music slowly fades out. Eventually this "staring contest" ends with the textbox that would've been displayed once the walking sequence ends. Closing the textbox will put the player in a battle with a "Hooked Dragonite" (hence the name) with the Gym Leader battle music, however all of the player's controls are disabled and they are soft locked.

Talking to the Pewter Museum guide at different locations will cause other effects to occur, one example includes an alternative method to [[#Walking through walls|walk through walls]].

=====Causes=====
The first part of the glitch is caused by interrupting the walking sequence. When the NPC is spoken to, the game disables all of the player's controls and moves Red and the NPC at the same time to give the illusion that Red is following him, then once it ends, the NPC walks down to leave and the controls are returned to the player. If the walking sequence is interrupted, controls are not returned to the player, however thanks to a failsafe mechanic, controls are returned if the player enters another map. After exiting from Pewter City's PokéMart, saving and resetting confuses the game into making the NPC infinitely walk down for 256 steps instead of the usual four. Because the NPC was never intended to walk this far, the game's variables soon overflow forcing him to warp to the top of the visible area.

The effects of this glitch are caused by a buffer overflow that occurs based on the game trying to find a path for the NPC to take in order to reach the destination. The game searches player coordinates from a table to determine the various movements that can be used to bring the player to their destination, as the path is different depending on where he was spoken to. If the coordinates are not present on the table, the game searches beyond the table to find one (as the player was not intended to be able to speak to the NPC in these locations). Most of the time the game cannot find any and the game will soft lock. However if a matching entry happens to be found, the game will use it as movement data and copy it to a buffer until it reaches the first 0xFF terminator byte. The hooked Dragonite is the result of changing the address $D059, ''wCurOpponent'', and the reason controls are disabled is because they were unable to be unlocked when the battle starts with the hooked Dragonite.

{{Youtubevid|RkKatd72PiQ|name=TheZZAZZGlitch|TheZZAZZGlitch|Glitch}}

====Indoor fishing oversight====
In [[Cerulean Gym]], the [[water tile]]s have [[wild Pokémon]] data programmed in, which allows players to [[Fishing|fish]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, the [[Old Rod]] and [[Good Rod]] work, but the [[Super Rod]] doesn't. The bug then returned in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but it was fixed once more in {{game|Crystal}}.

[[Lorelei]]'s room in [[Indigo Plateau]] also has this issue, which was fixed in Yellow as well.

====Invisible PC access====
[[Celadon Hotel]] is based on the layout design of a [[Pokémon Center]]. In this map, if the player stands in front of where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center, the player can access an invisible PC.

There are also invisible PCs in the same position (accessible by facing up with the coordinates x=13, y=4 xblock=1, yblock=0) in [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] rest houses 2, 3 and 4 ([[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|maps 223-225]]), but these positions are not normally accessible, so memory hacking must be done or [[Arbitrary code execution]] [http://glitchcity.info/w/index.php?title=Invisible_PCs&stable=0#8F_method written using the 8F item] can allow these extra PCs to be accessible without cheating.

All known invisible PCs do not exist in {{game|Yellow}}.

====Lift Key overworld misplacement====
[[File:RB Lift Key Glitch.png|thumb|256px|The Lift Key glitch]]
In the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], if the player is standing to the left of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who has the [[Lift Key]] and talks to him, the Lift Key will appear underneath the player when he drops it. The player can still move around and collect it if he moves downward.

This glitch was fixed in {{game|Yellow}}, due to the Grunt automatically dropping the Lift Key as soon as he is defeated.

{{Youtubevid|ykjE6rKWSug|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Red|Blue}}

====Lift goes to the same floor====

In any lift of Pokémon Red/Blue/Green and Yellow, if the player chooses to go to the floor they're already on, the lift acts like it is moving.

====New-game Nidorino cry oversight====
During the new game tutorial, the game shows {{p|Nidorino}}'s sprite but plays {{p|Nidorina}}'s [[cry]].
{{youtubevid|wvuiZ9s5J6k|pandakekok}}

====Oak Poké Ball delivery text overlapping====
If the player has no new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} registered as caught in the [[Pokédex]] (by only having the [[starter Pokémon]]) and/or no [[Poké Ball]]s in his [[Bag]] (this includes buying/finding/obtaining any and then selling/tossing/[[PC|depositing]] them) after defeating the {{ga|Blue|rival}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, {{prof|Oak}} will give five {{i|Poké Ball}}s to the player after being talked to. During this event in the English versions, one of the lines of his dialogue appears over the previous line, instead of on a new one.

This [[glitch]] occurs in all localizations of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and in the European localizations of {{game|Yellow}}. In the Italian Pokémon Red and Blue, there's also a word in this dialogue that overlaps the right border of the text box. In English Pokémon Yellow, it was fixed but the dialogue contains a typo instead.
{{youtubevid|M_0ivinox1Q|pandakekok|glitch}}

====Overworld sprite misplacement====
If the player does not have the {{ka|Secret Key}} to the [[Cinnabar Gym]], and {{m|surf}}s on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the Gym, a man will appear on the roof of the Gym.

A similar effect happens if the player walks into the [[Vermilion Gym]], walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gate to {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}}. One of the Trainers in the Gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gate there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard.

Both of these variations of this glitch were fixed in some European releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, such as the Spanish version, and in all releases of {{game|Yellow}}.

====Pewter Gym skipping====

===English versions only===
====Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick====
{{main|Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick}}

====Instant Text trick====
If the player goes into the Cerulean City Bike Shop without a bike voucher and cancels out exiting the shopping menu of the bike shop, the game never resets a text based flag. Instead of the game showing all the text character by character, it will instead now show all text on screen instantly. Going back to the shop later and buying the bike will reset the flag.

====Old man glitch====
{{main|Old man glitch}}

===Japanese Red and Green===
====Binding move wrong side fainting glitch====
This glitch was introduced in the later revision (v1.1) of Red and Green and seemingly does not occur in the v1.0 release. It was fixed in the English Red and Blue.

When the player's Pokémon is immobile due to being trapped by the opponent's {{cat|Binding moves|binding move}}, but the opponent faints due to {{status|burn}} or {{status|poison}}, then the player's Pokémon will faint in addition to the opponent's Pokémon. This does not occur if the player's Pokémon is the one using the binding move. Despite the player's Pokémon fainting, it will still have full health on the Pokémon menu.

In a link battle, because the Pokémon is only considered to faint on its Trainer's side of the link and not its opponent's side, it can cause a communication error.

{{Youtubevid|mJUOy-c4cCQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Broken hidden items====
{{main|Broken hidden items}}
In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, there are six hidden items that do not function correctly. These hidden items are believed to have been fixed in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]] and later versions (including the localized versions of the [[Generation I]] games).

Picking up one of these six specific hidden items causes the other five hidden items to disappear. If the player hands over a [[Fossil]] to the scientist in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] (even if they choose not the revive it), all six hidden items reappear.

The broken hidden items cannot be detected by the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]]. Instead, five of these six items have another set of coordinates that the Itemfinder believes them to be located at instead, although there is no item hidden at that position.

====Fainted lead experience oversight====
{{glitchResearch|Multiple fainted lead Pokémon, other versions}}
Before starting a Trainer battle, if the lead user Pokémon is fainted, the Pokémon sent out following it will receive half experience, even though the fainted Pokémon did not participate.

{{Youtubevid|Sy1_Sgbhxu4|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Saffron Gym glitches====
Losing to [[Sabrina]] in the original versions and returning to the Saffron Gym, will cause the player to receive the post-victory text, TM46 and the Marsh Badge.

{{Youtubevid|EF3RlidjDJk|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

After the battle, if the player exits the last text box before returning to the overworld with B, and immediately holds A, Sabrina's before battle text will run again, allowing the player to rematch Sabrina indefinitely.

===Japanese Red, Green, and Blue===
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1.0 and 1.1) unless noted otherwise.

====Articuno binoculars cry glitch====
This glitch involves listening to the cry of the {{p|Articuno}} in the binoculars on the second floor of the gate on Route 15. Listening to it in succession many times can corrupt the cry.

{{Youtubevid|B5ZIz8vb6aQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Empty Pokémon List====
If the player withdraws the [[Potion]] from the PC at the very start of their adventure (meaning before they receive their [[starter Pokémon]]) and then attempts using it, an empty [[Party|Pokémon List]] will appear and the Potion can be used, albeit to no effect. This was fixed for international releases and Pokémon Yellow, which will state "''You don't have any''{{sup/1|RB}}/''a''{{sup/1|Y}} ''POKéMON!''" (Japanese: '''ポケモンが　1ぴきも　いない！''').

{{Youtubevid|rbJCEt6HKhM|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Red|Green}}

====Full Box glitch====
If the player has six Pokémon in their party and all full [[Pokémon Storage System]] Boxes before watching the {{ka|old man}}'s catching demonstration, the game will state that the box is full when the old man tries to capture the {{p|Weedle}}. The game will try to use the Poké Ball again infinitely afterwards, and every attempt results in this message causing an infinite loop. This forces the player to either reset the game or turn the power off. This is because the game thinks that the player is catching a Pokémon, even though it's actually the [[old man]], the game produces a "temporary" Pokémon to hold, and if the catching demonstration ends, that caught Pokémon is deleted.

This glitch was fixed in the Japanese version of {{game|Yellow}} and in the localizations.

{{Youtubevid|FnCTzpgozTU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Pokédex glitch====
In all Japanese Generation I games, if the player evolves their starter Pokémon before bringing Oak his parcel, Oak will assume the player already has the Pokédex and will offer to rate it instead of accepting the parcel. This prevents progression in the game, as the {{ka|old man}} will not move until the player delivers Oak's parcel. The player will also be unable to buy items in the [[Viridian City]] [[Poké Mart]] (because the player is required to deliver the parcel before buying any items).

====Select glitches====

=====Second type glitch=====
{{main|Second type glitch}}

====Silph Co. elevator entry swapping====
It is possible to swap the positions of the elevator destinations in [[Silph Co.]] with the '''SELECT''' button as if they were [[item]]s. Doing this in certain ways can change the list type in at least one way (i.e. to a list of 'boxed Pokémon') and corrupt data.

This glitch works in the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the effects differ from {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

{{Youtubevid|fMf7_85ifc8|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Swift effect glitch====
{{m|Swift}} was designed to never miss, but due to a programming error in Pokémon Red, Green and Blue (as well as all known revisions of Japanese Yellow), the move is capable of missing under certain circumstances (i.e. if the foe has raised evasion, or is under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}} or possibly from 1/256 miss chance that affects other 100% accuracy moves) unless the foe has put up a {{m|Substitute}}.

This was amended in the English versions, which have Swift never miss (including when a Pokémon is under the invulnerable stage of Fly or Dig) regardless of whether the foe has set up a Substitute or not.
{{Youtubevid|C6Hkos4vdsU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Whirlwind text box overflow====
In these games, if a Pokémon uses {{m|Whirlwind}} on a Pokémon with 5 characters in its name, the exclamation mark character overlaps with the border of the text box. This was corrected in the Japanese version of {{game|Yellow}} with the addition of a line break.

{{Youtubevid|o-VeLoDMn9I|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

==Yellow==
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3) unless noted otherwise.
===Delayed Pikachu follow===
{{glitchResearch}}
In [[Pokémon Tower]], if the player steps on the purified zone with a fainted Pikachu, and quickly pushes (B) and takes two steps, Pikachu will not match the player's first step until the player takes their second step and will continue to follow at a delay. As a result, Pikachu may end up a space distant from the player or overlapped with them. Walking back onto the purified zone while overlapped will return Pikachu's position to normal, regardless of speed.

{{Youtubevid|sComMo9LaLo|channel/UCTFUiwvd-CKV0GLkf_E21Lw|name=Unowninator|Electric}}

Thanks to the Pikachu off-screen glitch, it can be done everywhere.

{{Youtubevid|Q4TQ1RsBZXM|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===Freezing Pikachu===
If the player jumps off a cliff when Pikachu is dancing, the Pikachu's sprite will be frozen for 7–8 seconds.

{{Youtubevid|9CKIshdKqW4|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===NPC over the grass===

In the Viridian Forest, there is a Lass whose sprite is clearly over the grass. This trainer won't move because she doesn't have a range at which she will walk up to the player, so she has to be battled by walking up and talking to her.

{{Youtubevid|Nwf3YeMEzus|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===Friendship item effect===
This causes a no-effect [[item]] to still increase {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s friendship value. For example, attempting to use a [[Potion]] on a Pikachu that has [[fainting|fainted]] or has full health, an [[Antidote]] when Pikachu is not {{status|poison}}ed, [[Calcium]] when Pikachu has already reached its maximum {{DL|Stat|Special}} [[stat experience]], or [[X Special]] when the Special stat has already been {{DL|Stat#Stat modifiers|raised 6 stages}} in battle. This does not consume the item, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship.

This glitch was fixed in [[Generation II]].

{{Youtubevid|UCKFCI9m4PE|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Electric}}

===Pikachu off-screen glitches===
With the use of in-game event that causes a walking Pikachu to stay (Pikachu being put to sleep by {{p|Jigglypuff}} in [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, Pikachu meeting [[Bill]] at {{rt|25|Kanto|Cerulean Cape}}, Pikachu falling in love with {{p|Clefairy}} at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]]) one can bring the walking Pikachu off the screen and cause memory corruption glitches such as a forced [[Glitch City]] and causing NPCs to turn when they shouldn't, or even having their save file deleted.

For each step Pikachu is off the screen, a memory address is corrupted from D437 and onward, and the values depend on where the player steps, with south being 01, north being 02, west being 03 and east being 04. Through this, the player can make Pikachu's happiness one of these low values, cause a Glitch City and through specific movement, set the play time to 255:59.

In addition to use an in-game event that causes Pikachu to stay, Pikachu can also be forced off the screen with a certain [[Glitch City]] such as {{rt|20|Kanto|Sea Route 20}}'s Safari Zone exit Glitch City, or specific glitch items, including the {{DL|Glitch|glitch item}} “Lg-” (hex:6E) and “Rival's” effect/“Jack” effect glitch items such as “E tE” (in Red/Blue) or “o” (in Yellow); hex:94.

With more advanced applications of the glitch, it is possible to max out Pikachu's happiness or cause it to do one of four special actions (winking, the fishing action, the confused action or the 'disapproval' action) when the player character talks to it. [[Arbitrary code execution]] is also possible by creating a specific glitch sign in the Pokémon Fan Club.

All glitch items are available with the [[item underflow]] glitch. Lg- is also available through [[pPkMnp' ']] (Ditto glitch Special 194) converting a Super Rod when it is the fifth item.

==In all games==
{{incomplete|section|cf. English and other localizations with the original Japanese releases}}
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1.0 and 1.1) and of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3) unless noted otherwise.

===--===
{{main|-- (move)}}
If a {{p|Ditto}} transforms into another Pokémon and then switches around the copied moves with the '''SELECT''' button, after the battle the Ditto will not have {{m|Transform}} and will instead have {{m|--}}. This can also be done with other Pokémon by having them use {{m|Mimic}} on Transform, or use Transform directly, such as {{p|Mew}}.

{{Youtubevid|hzY0nFn_8SE|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Normal}}

===0 ERROR glitch===
{{main|0 ERROR}}
A glitch similar to the [[Mew glitch]] that causes {{rt|6|Kanto}} to become glitched.

===1/256 miss glitch===
In the [[Generation I]] handheld games, all moves are 1/256 more likely to miss than was intended, including 100% [[accuracy]] moves. In non-Japanese versions, {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Bide}} skip accuracy checks and always hit, regardless of this bug.

Moves with 100% accuracy have a 255/256 (~99.6%) chance of hitting (without {{stat|accuracy}} nor {{stat|evasion}} modifiers). Other moves also have 1/256 less accuracy than was intended.

The glitch occurs due to the accuracy check using a "strictly less than" comparison instead of a "less than or equal to" comparison. If a randomly generated integer between 0 and 255 (inclusive) is strictly less than the move's accuracy (after applying accuracy and evasion modifiers), the move hits; however, if the random number is exactly 255, the random number cannot be less than the move's modified accuracy (regardless of its value).

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the randomly generated integer is between 0 and 254 (inclusive). This prevents moves with 100% accuracy from missing, but also slightly increases the probability of lower accuracy moves of hitting.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the move has 100% accuracy (after applying accuracy and evasion modifiers and the [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] modifier), the move skips the rest of the accuracy check and hits. This prevents moves with 100% accuracy from missing, but does not affect the chance of hitting for moves with lower accuracy.

===Battle draw theme oversight===
Prior to [[Generation II]], having the player character draw in a [[Pokémon battle]] causes the victory theme to play even though the player has lost.

{{Youtubevid|HDWoG2BCGbU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Disabling NPCs animation===
When the player walks, the screen moves the objects of the stage where player is, including NPCs. That movement alter the animations of the NPCs, disabling their animations.

{{Youtubevid|j5ciB3oMXBc|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceandMissingNo.|Flying|Electric}}

===Bide errors===
The stored damage from {{m|Bide}} can hit (but not always) a Pokémon under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}. If Bide deals damage to a Pokémon under Fly or Dig, the game will reveal its sprite early. This also causes a small animation glitch with Dig where it appears that the enemy Pokémon rises from the ground off the top of the screen instead of the enemy rising up from 'underground'. There is no animation glitch with {{m|Fly}} because the game has no animation on the opponent's side of Fly returning from the top of the screen to the ground—the game only reveals the sprite.

{{Youtubevid|mpHw7CPQdQY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Flying|Ground}}

===Cable Club escape===
{{main|Cable Club escape glitch}}

===Catch rate RNG oversight===
Due to the combination of the way the games' random number generator is implemented and the capture algorithm using rejection sampling to generate a random number from a limited range for Great and Ultra/Safari Balls, there is a significant bias to RNG outcomes for these balls; Ultra Balls can for instance be less effective than Poké Balls against Pokémon with high catch rates at full health, and Pokémon with lower catch rates are significantly harder to catch in an Ultra or Safari Ball at full health than they should, while being easier to catch at low health.<ref>[https://www.dragonflycave.com/mechanics/gen-i-rng Gen I Capture RNG Mechanics - The Cave of Dragonflies]</ref>

===Changing NPC sprites===
When the walking through walls glitch is used and the player flies to [[Lavender Town]], they can activate this glitch. They must walk down to {{rt|12|Kanto}} and walk through the side of the gate rather than actually going into the gate. Once this has been done, every [[Non-player character|NPC]] will have the same sprite as the player. Encountering a [[wild Pokémon]] fixes the sprites. This is due to the fact that the game fails to load the sprite graphics properly.

===Counter glitches===
{{m|Counter}} may strike back damage from an attack that isn't Normal- or Fighting-type. For this to happen, the Counter target must have not selected any move the turn Counter was used (for example, due to being frozen, asleep, or switching out), and must have moved first and used a Normal- or Fighting-type damaging move the previous turn. In addition, Counter may also strike back damage from one's own attack. This occurs if the Counter target previously used a Normal- or Fighting-type damaging move before the Counter user successfully used any damaging move during the same turn. If, in the next turn when Counter is used, the Counter target doesn't select a move, the Counter user's own damage will be dealt.

In Link Battles, Counter may also trigger desynchronization errors. This occurs due to the last move pointed by the cursor in the move selection menu being treated by the last move actually used if the Pokémon switches out. This oversight can also be exploited outside of link battles to make the opponent's Counter hit or miss at will under specific circumstances.

{{Youtubevid|ftTalHMjPRY|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Normal|Fighting}}

===Critical hit ratio error===
{{m|Focus Energy}} and [[Dire Hit]]s are intended to quadruple the [[critical hit]] rate, but due to a glitch, they will quarter the chance of scoring a critical hit. This was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.

===Cut glitch===
The '''Cut glitch''' can refer to two different glitches in [[Generation I]] involving the move {{m|Cut}}.

====Invisible tree====
There is a tree near the bottom of {{rt|14|Kanto}}. If this particular tree is cut down and then the player walks five steps west from where the tree was (so that the spot where the tree used to be is at the edge of the screen) and then walks back their path will be blocked as if a tree was still there. Even though the tree is not visible, it can still be cut down normally using the move {{m|Cut}}.
{{youtubevid|jNUxFt8OPSI|pandakekok|glitch}}

====Standing on a tree====
[[File:Cut glitch.png|thumb|{{ga|Red}} standing on top of the tree outside [[Vermilion Gym]]]]
[[File:Yellow Pikachu tree Cooltrainer glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Pikachu}} standing on top of a tree in Celadon Gym]]
If the player {{m|cut}}s down a tree, stands on the spot where the object was, [[save]]s, turns the game off, then loads it, the player will be standing on the tree. The same can happen with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

In [[Celadon Gym]] in Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu can also end up standing on a tree after certain battles.

This glitch occurs because the [[Generation I]] engine would not store the data needed to remember that the tree had been cleared.

===Cycling Road access requirement bypassing===
If the player does not have a [[Bicycle]] (or it has been deposited in the PC), it is still possible to reach {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}} by holding down the left button while the guard attempts to prevent the player from entering the Cycling Road. Upon entering Cycling Road, the player will be automatically riding a bike, despite not having one.

This is because pressing left on the d-pad actually overrides the "walk back to the right" movement, thus ignoring the return movement.

{{Youtubevid|OCyYJHf-apw|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Kanto}}

===Defrost move forcing===
If a {{status|frozen}} Pokémon is defrosted before it would have moved that turn, it uses a move that turn, even though it couldn't select a move that turn due to being frozen. However, this move can differ between the games in a link battle, causing desynchronization. Additionally, this can also allow a Pokémon to use a move with no [[PP]] remaining, causing an underflow.

If a Pokémon is defrosted, in the game of the owner of the defrosted Pokémon, the move used will be the last move the player had the cursor over. Since the player does not get to select a move while frozen, this can be a move of another Pokémon in the party. The value that manages this is set to 0 at the start of a link battle, so if the player has never moved the cursor over a move during that battle, the used move will be the glitch move {{m|--}}.

In the game of the other player, the move used will be the last move used by the defrosted Pokémon (reset upon switching), or the first listed move if it has not used a move since switching.

PP is deducted from the move the Pokémon uses in other player's game (even in its owner's game), regardless of its current PP. If the move had 0 PP, it underflows to 63 PP and removes the effect of one [[PP Up]].

{{Youtubevid|iSSf4XaqGAU|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Ice}}

===Ditto assumption===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue, because wild Mew could not have been legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where wild Mew could be encountered.

{{Youtubevid|zHHz-wQ1qFk|channel/UCygzs1A-1EFESFgk0Rqph5w|name=pokemontutorialTV|Normal}}

===Ditto DV manipulation===
If a [[wild Pokémon]] {{m|transform}}s again while it is already transformed, when it is caught it will have the [[Individual values|DVs]] of the first Pokémon it transformed into. The caught Pokémon will always be {{p|Ditto}} due to the Ditto assumption glitch.

This can be abused to cause the Pokémon to have DVs that correspond to those of a Shiny Pokémon in [[Generation II]] or when converted by [[Poké Transporter]]. If a Shiny Pokémon from Generation II is taught {{m|Mimic}}, it can copy Transform with Mimic from a wild Ditto (before Ditto transforms) to facilitate this.

{{Youtubevid|8Lb5pq0y6h8|channel/UCM-mVhpa-qe_QJXSDiCWGFw|name=v0id19|Normal}}

===Division by 0===
During damage calculation, the game will eventually attempt to divide by 0 in the following two cases. In both cases, this causes the game to [[Game freeze#"Softlocking"|freeze]] indefinitely (due to the algorithm looping infinitely).

The attacker's current Attack/Special stat is higher than 255 and the defender's current Defense/Special stat is lower than 4.

{{Youtubevid|V6iUlyS8GMU|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|HP}}

The defender's current Defense/Special stat is 512 or 513 and the defender has used {{m|Reflect}}/{{m|Light Screen}}. In addition, if its current Defense/Special stat is 514 or higher when {{m|Reflect}}/{{m|Light Screen}} is up, it will be treated as if it was much lower due to a roll-over glitch.

{{Youtubevid|fVtO_DKxIsI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Dual-type damage misinformation===
In [[Generation I]], Pokémon with two types that have a weakness and resistance to the same type receive neutral damage from that type, but the incorrect message is displayed.

For example, {{type|Grass}} moves do neutral damage to {{p|Gyarados}}, but if Gyarados is hit by a Grass-type move, the game erroneously states that the attack is "not very effective...".

The game prioritizes on which message to display for each 'special' scenario (where normal damage is not dealt) based on each scenario's internal ordering. The higher the ordering determines what message the game will display. Grass against Water as 200% damage for instance is the 4th entry, whilst Grass against Flying as 50% damage is the 27th. Consequently, in this example, the game chooses the message for scenario #27, returning the wrong message "It's not very effective...".

This glitch does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

{{Youtubevid|yP6EhW2r57A|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|???}}

If an attack is super effective or not very effective against one type and does no damage against another type (for example, {{m|Dig}} against {{p|Charizard}}), the game will erroneously state that the attack missed.

====Order of priority of messages====
This list is presented in the reverse order to which they are stored in the game data. Messages higher on the list take priority over those lower on the list.

===Exp. All oversight===
{{main|Experience#Apparent Exp. All programming error in Generation I}}
If the player has an [[Exp. Share|Exp. All]] in their bag and uses two or more Pokémon from their party in battle, then the total amount of experience gained overall will be decreased depending on the number of Pokémon used.

===Experience PC withdrawing glitch===
In Generation I, attempting to withdraw a level 1 Pokémon using the "[[Experience#Medium Slow|Medium Slow]]" growth algorithm will [[Game freeze#"Softlocking"|softlock]] the game. This also applies to Pokémon using the "[[Experience#Medium Fast|Medium Fast]]" growth algorithm for Level 255, "[[Experience#Fast|Fast]]" for Level 255, and "[[Experience#Slow|Slow]]" for Level 237.

Certain glitch Pokémon use [http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6588.0 invalid growth algorithms] and have the game freeze when they are withdrawn at specific levels as well. For example, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, [['M (00)]] uses an invalid experience curve 26 and the game will freeze if the player attempts to withdraw a level 0 'M (00). Level 0 'M can be found with the [[old man glitch]] if the player does not pick a preset name.

Additionally, if a Pokémon in the "Medium-Slow" growth algorithm is withdrawn between Levels 245 to 255, it will become a Pokémon with a level between 59 and 125, depending on the exact Level of the Pokémon deposited. A Pokémon in the "Medium-Slow" growth algorithm that is withdrawn between 238 and 255 will become a Pokémon with a level between 39 and 146. A Pokémon withdrawn in this manner will have its stats recalculated, which may lead to it having more HP than its maximum HP.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NFojS1JlAGvfBlqfLJyGwUO3iZCG5UQvItr7xrHup8U/edit?pli=1&pageId=109668335590823221919#gid=1302000118 Full Exp Data by Dabomstew - Google Sheets]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TDXWL093AI&lc=z12zhldxszrqstl0b23hixpjll33sfpyl04 TPM mart buffer overflow glitch - "Catch 'em all" glitch (Generation I) by ChickasaurusGL on Youtube]</ref>

===Experience underflow===
{{main|Experience#Experience underflow glitch}}
In Generations I and II, level 1 Pokémon using the "Medium Slow" growth algorithm will jump from level 1 to level 100 after gaining a {{tt|low amount|less than 54 if total experience is 0}} of experience points.

{{Youtubevid|EtkRiiwD0jc|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Glitch}}

===Ghost Bicycle glitch===
In Generation I games, if the player saves at the [[Cycling Road]] and then creates a new game, it will not be possible to use the [[Bicycle]] or {{m|Surf}} anywhere until this glitch is fixed. If the player attempts to use either of them, it will fail and the game will display the same error message that would appear if the player tried to do this in the Cycling Road itself.

Even with this glitch active, the player can still surf by using the surfboard item named "?????", which is [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]].

This glitch exists because the bit 5 of the memory address D732 (D731 in Yellow) is turned on while the player is in the Cycling Road, which causes the player to be unable to use the Bicycle or Surf. When the player creates a new game, usually all the data from a previous game would be deleted, but this memory address remains in the new game.

This glitch is fixed (that is, the memory address is properly updated) if the player [[black out|blacks out]] (either in battle or the overworld), uses {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Fly}} outside of battle, uses an [[Escape Rope]], or enters and leaves the Cycling Road.

See also: [https://archives.glitchcity.info/wiki/WRAM_clear_oversight_(Generation_I).html WRAM clear oversight (Generation I)] in [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

===Ghost identity unveiling===
When encountering a {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] without having a [[Silph Scope]], it is possible to see its true identity by viewing the stats of any Pokémon in the player's party. However, this glitch is only graphical, and it is still impossible to [[Pokémon battle|fight]] or catch it.

{{Youtubevid|UMIowBT4Fck|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Ghost}}

===Ghost Marowak bypassing===
Using a [[Poké Doll]] on the {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|ghost Marowak}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] with or without the [[Silph Scope]] will cause it to permanently disappear.

{{Youtubevid|p_muMF45X-4|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Ghost}}

===Glitch City===
{{main|Glitch City}}

===Hall of Fame corruption===
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Some corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
{{main|MissingNo.#Glitches caused}}
When [[glitch Pokémon]] have been seen on the save file, the player's [[Hall of Fame]] is badly corrupted with entirely different Pokémon, even glitch Pokémon, and very glitched characters, names and levels. This does not affect the Pokémon themselves, rather the data seen in the Hall of Fame, and is caused by the contents of the sprite decompression buffer that is stored in SRAM overflowing into memory allocated for save data when a glitch Pokémon's sprite is decompressed.
{{-}}

===Haze opponent crippling===
If {{m|Haze}} is used to thaw a frozen Pokémon when it still needs to recharge from {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the Pokémon will thaw out but it will be unable to make a move until it faints even if a {{t|Fire}} type move is used later. This glitch was fixed in [[Pokémon Stadium]].

It is similar to the [[Sky Drop glitch]] in [[Generation V]], because both glitches permanently make the opponent unable to move until it faints or is switched out (although switching out the Pokémon is normally not possible).

{{Youtubevid|FjZreYA2m_w|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===HP recovery move failure===
If a Pokémon uses a recovery move ({{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Rest}} or {{m|Recover}}) and the difference between its current HP and maximum HP is 255 or 511 (or any number that leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256), the move will fail the same way it would when the difference is 0. This glitch does not occur in Pokémon Stadium.

This is caused by the comparison that checks whether the current HP matches the maximum HP erroneously not correctly incorporating the upper byte of the HP values.

{{Youtubevid|sqkBby1HlmY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|HP}}

===Hyper Beam + Sleep move glitch===
If a Pokémon that has just used {{m|Hyper Beam}} and has yet to recharge is targeted with a sleep-inducing move, any other status it may already have ({{status|paralysis}}, {{status|burn}}, {{status|poison}}, or {{status|freeze}}) will be ignored and sleep will be induced regardless. In addition, the sleep-inducing move will never miss, as it will skip any accuracy checks in a similar way to {{m|Swift}}.

Furthermore, if the Pokémon was badly poisoned (by {{m|Toxic}}), [[#Toxic counter glitches|the Toxic counter will not be reset]].

{{Youtubevid|x2AgAdQwyGI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Poison}}

===Index #000 post-capture===
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]] or [[3TrainerPoké $]] an invisible wild {{p|Ditto}} will still be in battle with the player where 'M (00) was before, and the battle will not end. This Ditto can then be caught.
{{youtubevid|x_TS7pVybKg|pandakekok|glitch}}

===Invisible Prof. Oak===
If the player attempts to leave too many times when choosing their first Pokémon then the player, Prof. Oak and the middle Poké Ball's sprites will vanish. Pressing start will pull up some glitched text on the screen, but exiting the start menu will fix everything.

{{Youtubevid|v643yIvK6pM|channel/UCEMkwecMv0-PvQFMB1swUAA|name=BungiePhantom|Glitch}}

===Invulnerability glitch===
In [[Generation I]], if a Pokémon is fully {{status|Paralysis|paralysed}} or hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} while in the semi-invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}, all moves (with the exception of {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Transform}} and possibly the unleashed damage from {{m|Bide}}) from the opponent will miss or fail until the user switches Pokémon, finishes the battle or successfully performs a {{cat|Moves with a charging turn|charging move}} (specifically, Fly, Dig, {{m|Razor Wind}}, {{m|Skull Bash}}, and {{m|Solar Beam}}). The user's Pokémon can attack normally during this glitch.

This glitch was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.

{{Youtubevid|bNzDmXbZ7kY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Ground}}

===Item duplication glitch===
{{main|Item duplication glitch}}

===Item underflow glitch===
{{main|Item underflow}}

===Landing on an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC below a ledge that can be jumped over (by blocking their movement in certain directions), it is possible to land on top of the NPC when they jump over the ledge.

{{Youtubevid|ztlm3AuPBBI|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Level-up learnset skipping===
Pokémon cannot learn moves they should learn at a level if they earn enough experience at once to skip that level.

For example, if a level 4 {{p|Pidgey}} earned enough experience points for defeating a single Pokémon to reach level 6, it will not learn {{m|Sand-Attack}}, a move it would normally learn at level 5.

{{Youtubevid|Fvn7xHxb6BU|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Leveling past 100===
In Generation I and II, if a Pokémon is obtained at a level above 100, it can be leveled up with [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] up to level 255. If a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, its level will be reset to 0 due to an overflow in a single byte. If a Pokémon above level 100 levels up due to [[experience]], its level will be reset to 100.

{{Youtubevid|Gws8iOPuj-k|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Menu glitch===
If the player holds A when the game is saving, the menu won't disappear until player stops holding A.

{{Youtubevid|iF1ik0TDCeI|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Glitch}}

===Mew glitch===
{{main|Mew glitch}}

===Mirror Move glitch===
During a Link Battle, if {{m|Mirror Move}} and a {{cat|Binding moves|binding move}} (such as {{m|Wrap}} or {{m|Fire Spin}}) are used together, the two player's games may become desynchronized due to one game interpreting that the attack used was Mirror Move (and failing) and the other game interpreting that the binding move was used instead.

{{Youtubevid|O8GMyy7x3WE&NR|channel/UCqnd5LOJjH5SURgI2RuYFBg|name=SloshedMail|Normal}}

===Pallet Town NPC misplacement===
If the player stands outside of Professor Oak's Lab in Pallet Town, the person outside it will eventually stand on the Lab's door. This is because the door tile was programmed as a non-solid tile.

{{Youtubevid|EuD_Q8MhhxE|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Perpetual spinning animation===
If the player saves the game having just entered the Safari Zone and leaves, the game assumes that the player is just entering the Safari Zone entrance, as it does not save that the player is currently in a paid Safari Zone session. Thus, upon passing by the desk, the player is prompted to pay for another Safari Zone session, although they are now traveling out towards the town below. Because the player is supposedly in a Safari Zone session, the game counts down steps passively. Upon exiting towards the bottom into Fuchsia City, the player must Fly to Viridian City and enter Giovanni's Gym. Inside, the player must walk along the spinners, proceeding to be spun around. After taking enough steps to deplete the (invisible) counter, the player freezes, the PA "ding-dong" noise will sound, and a message will pop up saying that the player's Safari Zone session is now over. If the player is in the middle of a spin while this happens, the player will be transported to the Safari Zone entrance as if they had just left the Safari Zone, and upon moving will perform the spin animation, and move slower. The player has full control over the movement of the character; the only difference is that instead of the walking animation, the spinning animation is played.

The glitch can be fixed by returning to the location where the player ran out of Safari Zone steps.

{{Youtubevid|UhTQfoug8GU|channel/UCEMkwecMv0-PvQFMB1swUAA|name=BungiePhantom|Glitch}}

====Changing the Player's sprite====
A sub glitch involves changing [[Red (game)|Red]]'s sprite into the sprite of another NPC. While the player is in the perpetual spinning state, they must enter a [[Pokémon Center]] then turn on the PC while hold left, then close the PC while still holding left. Red's sprite will now be replaced with the overworld sprite of an NPC based on the location of the Pokémon Center. The following list shows the towns that correspond to which overworld sprite the player will be turned into:

*Pallet Town: Professor Oak
*Viridian City: Professor Oak
*Pewter City: Lass
*Cerulean City: Lass
*Vermilion City: Lass
*Lavender Town: Jr. Trainer ♂
*Celadon City: Police officer
*Fuchsia City: Swimmer
*Saffron City: Jr. Trainer ♂
*Cinnabar Island: Professor Oak
*Indigo Plateau: Police officer
*Routes: Lass

Leaving the building or not moving will return Red's sprite back to normal.

{{Youtubevid|mzSaAxH38|name=RukarioSan|RukarioSan|Glitch}}

===Poison/Burn animation with 0 HP===

If a poisoned/burned Pokémon with low HP is confused and in the next turn loses its HP, the HP will be 0, but before it faints, the message and the animation of the poison/burn will appear, although the Pokémon doesn't have any HP. This also happen with a move which reduces the user's HP, like Take Down. This was fixed in Pokémon Gold/Silver.

{{Youtubevid|sIp6YsFt1Jw|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Fire}}

===Pokémon merging===
{{main|Pokémon merge glitch}}

===Pokémon Storage System cloning===
{{main|Cloning glitches#Storage system method}}

===Pokémon Storage System healthy party deposit===
It is possible for the player to deposit all Pokémon except [[Fainting|fainted]] ones and a [[black out]] will occur but only after four steps in the same session. In {{2v2|Red|Blue}} it is possible to progress further by saving the game before traveling four steps to reset the 'remaining step count' to 4 when the game is reset, though this is no longer the case in {{game|Yellow}} because the remaining step count was changed to default to 1 step. The player immediately has a black out if entering a battle with just fainted Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|b4syMSxrkbI|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|HP}}

===Prevented progress===
If the player has at least two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} registered as caught in the [[Pokédex]] before obtaining it from {{prof|Oak}} (either multiple non-related species or an evolved form of the [[starter Pokémon]]), the game will assume that they already have the Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed.

This [[glitch]] affects all versions of the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s|Red, Green}} (1.0 and 1.1), {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Blue}}, and {{v2|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3). The glitch is fixed in the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but remained in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}.

{{Youtubevid|OS-v0tGk90g|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

In the Japanese Pokémon Yellow, it is also possible to perform this glitch by exploiting the [[:#Save corruption|save corruption]] glitch.

{{Youtubevid|U05icPzktes|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Yellow}}

===Psywave desynchronization===
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Psywave}} in a link battle, there is a small chance the games will generate a different number of pseudo-random numbers, causing desynchronization.

When a Pokémon uses Psywave, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If the player uses Psywave, if the generated number is greater than or equal to 1.5× the Pokémon's level (rounded down) or it is 0, the number is discarded and a new number generated; if the opponent uses Psywave, if the generated number is greater than or equal to the Pokémon's level, the number is discarded and a new number generated. As such, if the generated number is 0, the Psywave user's game will generate a new number, whereas the non-Psywave user's game will not. This causes all subsequent pseudo-random numbers to be desynchronized.

{{Youtubevid|5KmTCdnWzVI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Psywave infinite loop===
If a level 0, 1 or 171 Pokémon uses {{m|Psywave}}, the game will continuously generate pseudo-random numbers, [[softlock|hanging indefinitely]]. However, this is not an issue in normal gameplay, as Pokémon can only be obtained at these levels via glitches.

When a Pokémon uses Psywave, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If the generated number is greater than or equal to 1.5× the Pokémon's level (rounded down) or it is 0, the number is discarded and a new number generated. As such, there is no number that can be generated for a level 0 or level 1 Pokémon that will not result in the result being discarded and a new number being generated.

If a level 171 Pokémon uses Psywave, the upper bound would be 256; however, since this value is stored in a single byte, it overflows to 0, causing the same issue as a level 0 Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|VyIFL_-l2o4|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Red Bar Glitch===
If a Pokémon is in a critical health status, the game will start to play a sound to let the player know their Pokémon is low on health and about to possibly faint. This sound has an unintended side effect of causing other sounds and animations to not play. This glitch has become very well known and is used often in speedruns for the Generation I games.

===Rematching Trainers===
To perform this glitch, the player must have some Pokémon which can lose a battle easily, so they may wish to have one Pokémon, a {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon or both. They must be inside a [[cave]], e.g. [[Mt. Moon]] or {{ka|Victory Road}}. They must, finally, have access to an unbattled Trainer who is in a [[cave]]. They must encounter a wild Pokémon while in a Trainer's eyeline. This wild Pokémon must proceed to defeat the player, sending them to a [[Pokémon Center]]. They then must re-enter the cave the Trainer is in. The Start menu will pop up. Upon closing it, the Trainer they escaped from will fight the player. However, if the player defeats them, this is not interpreted as beating the Trainer, and the player can challenge them again.

===Rhydon glitch===
{{main|Rhydon glitch}}

===Save corruption===
In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, with no save file, when the player saves the game and turns off the power a little time after the Yes/No box disappears the player will have 255 Pokémon in the party the next time the file is loaded.

If the player turns the power off at the wrong time, the save file will either be corrupted or will appear normal. The right time to pull off the glitch is about twenty frames after the A button is pressed, but in Yellow it is about ten frames later.

The first few Pokémon are level 255 [['M (FF)]] (Red/Blue) or [[Q_◣]] (Yellow), with all of their stats as "F35" (65535), four TM55 as their moves with 63/0 [[Power Points|PP]] and with a nickname and OT of many repeating "9"s. Pokémon past number six do not have all of these properties.

The data regarding Pokémon past the sixth position use other parts of the game's memory misinterpreted as Pokémon data, therefore swapping these Pokémon around or healing them can affect the game. If the player switches the first Pokémon with the tenth Pokémon, they will have 255 items. Switching the items past slot 20 will allow for more precise memory editing because there are only two pairs of memory addresses manipulated; displayed as an item and item quantity, while a "post-six" Pokémon uses many more bytes.

After performing the glitch, the poison effect will occur as the player walks around. In English versions, swapping the first-ninth Pokémon with the tenth will cause to player to have seen and owned 152 Pokémon in the Pokédex.

The Pokémon in the 10th slot will change to a different glitch pokemon as the player walks around to different areas, making it theroetically possible to obtain every Glitch Pokémon in the game.

Using the following equation, it is possible to calculate what memory address any item, including invalid items is using, provided that the memory address is odd.

Memory address = [First item position address -1] + [Cursor position] + ([Cursor position -1])<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6472.msg187703.html#msg187703 Glitch City Laboratories - Pokémon Yellow "Save Abuse" Glitch thread - post by Torchickens].</ref>

The item address that follows an item is displayed as a quantity.

====Beating the game quickly====
As there are no memory protection measures in place in the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, it is possible to use this glitch to do a number of things, such as beating the game in under five minutes. Below is one method of doing this that requires no luck manipulation:

In Pokémon Yellow, the memory address <tt>D364</tt> is used for the last map location for walking through certain exits, including the exit for [[Red (game)|Red]]'s house and the first item position address is <tt>D31D</tt>. This means that the correct cursor position can be expressed as:

<tt>D364</tt> = D31C + [cursor position] + [cursor position -1]

This has no actual answer because D364 (54116) is even, so the address must be a quantity, but if <tt>D363</tt> is used, the answer comes to hex: <tt>24</tt> (dec: 36). Therefore, the memory address <tt>D363</tt> (current block of the player's X-position) corresponds to item position 36 (hex: <tt>24</tt>) and the quantity of item 36 is the aforementioned warp location address. The cursor position in hexadecimal can be checked by highlighting an item in game and checking the memory address <tt>CC35</tt>.

As the [[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|index number of Pallet Town]] is 0, the player can access 255 locations by tossing the 36th item (as tossing one ×0 item causes an underflow to 255). The index number of the [[Hall of Fame]] room is 118, so the player must toss exactly 138 of item 36 to change the warp destination to the Hall of Fame. If the player stands on the right side of the exit mat item 36 should be a [[Master Ball]], while if the player stands on the left side of the exit mat, it should be the hex:00 glitch item which would appear as some glitchy blocks with a multiplication sign in it.

====In Japanese versions====
The glitch works in Japanese Blue but the game has to be reset some time after the "!" mark appears in "(PLAYERNAME)はレポートにしっかりかきのこした!". In Japanese Yellow it is possible with the same procedure as English Red/Blue and Yellow, but in order to corrupt the number of items the player has to replace the ninth Pokémon instead of the tenth to avoid a freeze after closing the items pack.

{{Youtubevid|U05icPzktes|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Save data carryover===
Using a procedure similar to the save corruption glitch, it's possible to begin a new save file, but having the party Pokémon from the previous save file. With an already existing save file, player must start a new game then save to overwrite the previous save, but turn off the game or reset shortly after the Yes/No box disappears. The exact timing is a difficult two frame window, doing it too early corrupts the previous save file and doing it too late completely overwrites the previous save file.

If successful, the player will begin the new save data while having the party Pokémon from the previous save file in their party. This glitch can be used at the beginning of the game to obtain all three starter Pokémon without trading.

{{Youtubevid|LbBDINWHe2Y|name=johnr754 R.|johnr754 R.|Glitch}}

===Save reset oversight===
This is a glitch that causes the player to always receive the "''You can't get off here.''" message when trying to use the [[Bicycle]] even when they are not on the Bicycle. It also causes the "''Cycling is fun! Forget <sc>Surf</sc>ing!''" message to appear when trying to use {{m|Surf}} (using the {{DL|List of unobtainable items|?????}} "Surfboard" item doesn't cause this message to appear).

If the player's current save is on {{rt|16|Kanto}}, {{rt|17|Kanto}} or {{rt|18|Kanto}} (Cycling Road), the WRAM address D732 (D731 in {{game|Yellow}}) is normally set to 21h (5th bit is on).

Normally when the player brings up the Continue/New Game/Option menu many of the variables from the current save are loaded so that the game works properly when the player selects the "Continue" option. Most of these variables are reset back to their default value if a new game is loaded but not the WRAM address D732 (possibly due to an oversight by the game developers).

This means starting a New Game with the current save on Cycling Road will cause the "''You can't get off here.''" message to appear when trying to use the Bicycle from any location. The effects of this glitch are only visible once the player obtains the Bicycle or the Soul Badge and a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}}.

The glitch can be fixed by performing any one of these actions:

* Using {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Fly}}, or an [[Escape Rope]]
* Entering and leaving Cycling Road
* Blacking out (both in battle and in the overworld)

It has been reported that this glitch may occur without starting a new save file when the current save is on Cycling Road, but the cause is unknown.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6706.msg190402.html#msg190402 Glitch City Laboratories forums - "Pokemon Red/Blue Bicycle Glitch, newly discovered?" thread, post by VAAMusicalMike]</ref>

Another version of this glitch can (but not always) appear when performing the Fossil conversion glitch in the Japanese {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6621.msg190080.html Glitch City Laboratories forums - "An addendum to the Fossil conversion glitch" thread, post by Torchickens]</ref> Unlike the "New Game" version, entering and leaving Cycling Road doesn't fix the glitch.

{{Youtubevid|YXa96wnSIOQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Save Surf exploit===
The glitch is performed by standing next to a [[water tile]] that is facing up, left, or right, walk in that direction and pressing start without letting go of the D-Pad. The game then needs to be [[save]]d and reset. When loading the saved data, the player will be facing in the direction that was being held down when the start button was pressed. Using {{m|Surf}} will cause the player to surf on the tile immediately south, even if it is not a water tile.

When loading a save file, the player usually starts facing south. This is because of the limited data in the game. This glitch causes the player to face in a different direction, which confuses the game.

Since statues are [[#Statue water tile oversight|treated as water tiles]], this glitch can be performed by using a statue as the water tile. Most notably, this glitch can be used to bypass the sailor in order to re-board the [[S.S. Anne]] after it has set sail.

===Silent Indigo Plateau===
In the battle against {{ga|Blue}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], if the player [[Evolution|evolves]] a Pokémon in battle and defeats Blue, the music will be muted until [[Professor Oak]] comes to congratulate the player.

{{Youtubevid|KxMstD8iWNM|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Sprite corruption===
[[File:Sprite glitch.png|thumb|The sprite corruption as seen in [[Generation I]] games|160px]]
The '''sprite corruption glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that alters the appearance of the {{wp|Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites}} in [[Generation I]], making the sprites appear to be cut into pieces or even unrecognizable in some instances.

In [[Generation I]], many [[glitch Pokémon]] will distort battle sprites upon their encounter; however, this can be fixed by viewing the stats of a non-glitched Pokémon in the overworld. There are other methods to the glitch, some of which involve using a [[Pokémon Center]] to heal the player's Pokémon when in a glitched area, visiting [[Glitch City]], or catching certain glitch Pokémon.

In other generations, it may occur when a [[Cheating|cheating device]] is used.
{{-}}

===Stat modification errors===
Every time a Pokémon successfully uses a move that affects a stat stage (either raising for example with {{m|Double Team}}, or lowering it for example with {{m|Screech}}) of any of the two Pokémon in battle, the following happens:
* The stat in question is recalculated from its out-of-battle stat and stat stage.
* If the target was the player's Pokémon, [[badge]] boosts are applied to all of its stats (if the player has the corresponding badge), boosting them by 1/8.
* If the Pokémon whose turn it is not is paralyzed, its current Speed stat gets quartered.
* If the Pokémon whose turn it is not is burned, its current Attack stat gets halved.

This leads to three notable unintended stat-related effects:
* Whenever one of the player's Pokémon's stat stages is modified, all of its other badge-boosted stats are multiplied by 1.125 again, even though they were already boosted. (The affected stat is recalculated correctly.) This effect can stack until a stat reaches the maximum of 999.
* When a Pokémon is burned or paralyzed, the Attack/Speed drop from the status will be applied again whenever its opponent uses a move that modifies stat stages (either raising its own or lowering the enemy's). This will similarly stack until the stat in question has dropped to the minimum of 1.
* When a burned or paralyzed Pokémon raises its Attack or Speed stat respectively with moves such as Swords Dance or Agility, the stat is recalculated in accordance with the boosted stat stage, but the status drop is not applied to it afterwards (since it's erroneously applied to the wrong Pokémon), effectively nullifying its effects.

All of these issues were fixed in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].

{{Youtubevid|GlhsYKeUt-w|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Fire|Electric}}

===Statue water tile oversight===
The player can use {{m|Surf}} or a [[Fishing|Fishing rod]] when facing the right or left of a [[Gym]] statue. The [[Old Rod]] continues to pull up {{p|Magikarp}}, as it ignores location, but the [[Super Rod]] (and the [[Good Rod]] in Yellow) will display the message "Looks like there's nothing in here..." everywhere other than the [[Cerulean Gym]], which has wild Pokémon normally.

{{Youtubevid|BgcDXeDaw0M|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Water}}

===Struggle bypassing===
In Generation I, a Pokémon can avoid using {{m|Struggle}} by allowing the game to self-select a move to be used, which can happen to any move used immediately after a Pokémon is thawed out after being {{status|Freeze|frozen}}, or due to the effects of one of several moves ({{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Wrap}}) because of the auto-selection involved with {{cat|binding moves}}. A move used with 0 [[PP]] in this way {{wp|Arithmetic underflow|underflows}} to the maximum possible value, 63 PP; due to the way the data is structured, if this occurs, a move on which 0 [[PP Up]]s had been used will gain full PP Up status, while a move on which PP Ups had been used loses one PP Up boost.

From Generation II onward, this bug is addressed by preventing a move from being executed if it has 0 PP.

{{Youtubevid|I8AzgGoJbTs|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Substitute HP drain bug===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Japanese versions of {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}, and the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], [[HP]]-draining [[move]]s always miss when used against a target that is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

In the Western versions of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, HP-draining moves are supposed to behave the same way, but instead can hit the substitute (like any other move) due to a programming oversight.

{{Youtubevid|Rrn4rtQXYQ0|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Substitute sprite vanishing===
Using a sacrificial move like Explosion on a substitute and having the damage break the substitute prevents the user from fainting. The sprite of the user vanishes regardless.

{{Youtubevid|lr05doU5oAQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Substitute + Confusion glitch===
If a Pokémon with a Substitute up hurts itself due to confusion, or due to {{m|Jump Kick}}'s or {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}'s side effect, damage will be dealt to the opponent's Substitute instead. If the opponent doesn't have a Substitute up no damage will be dealt to any Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|jw24URgBi5o|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Substitute and Minimize glitch===
If the enemy uses Substitute or Minimize and the player goes to view the stats of any Pokémon and then return to the battle, the sprites will be changed. The enemy will have the sprite of the Pokémon's player but broken, and the Pokémon of the player will have the Substitute or Minimize sprite. The sprite of the rival can change if the player goes to view the stats of any Pokémon in the team.

===Super Glitch===

===S.S. Anne reboarding===
[[File:Pokemon Red Reboard SS Anne.png|thumb|The player surfing on top of the sailor]]
After the [[S.S. Anne]] leaves the dock for the first time, it's possible to make it reappear later. To perform this glitch, the player must stand one tile above and to the left of the sailor guarding the harbor, take a step right and hit the Start button at the same time, save and reboot. After verifying that the player is facing right and without moving, a Pokémon must be selected to {{m|Surf}}, thus making the player surf on top of the sailor. Then, after walking down to the harbor, the boat can be entered.

{{Youtubevid|W_aI_AVwJMQ|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Water}}

===Toxic counter glitches===
====With Leech Seed====
If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}} (or was under that effect and healed itself with {{m|Rest}}), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's '''N''' parameter, and will increase each turn. This does not occur in [[Generation II]] onward.

{{Youtubevid|bNjEFgsIIIY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Poison|Grass}}

====With Rest====
If a Pokémon {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} uses {{m|Rest}}, the Toxic counter will remain, with the '''N''' value not being reset. If a Pokémon is then poisoned, {{status|burn}}ed, or affected by Leech Seed, the damage will draw upon (and increment) the '''N''' value, and will increase each turn. This does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} or [[Generation II]] onward.

===Trade cloning===
{{main|Cloning glitches#Trading method}}

===Transform + Mirror Move/Metronome PP error===
If {{m|Mirror Move}} or {{m|Metronome}} is used by a {{m|Transform}}ed Pokémon, the move of the same slot in that Pokémon's actual moveset will have its PP increased by 1. This occurs even if there is no move in that slot, which can prevent the use of {{m|Struggle}} or cause a softlock when targeted by {{m|Disable}}. PP of slots without moves will not be reset to 0 when healing at a [[Pokémon Center]]; the glitch can only be repaired by repeating it 256 times, at which point the PP count will overflow to 0.

{{YouTubeEmbed|_c7tQkSyz7E|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_}}

===Trapping sleep glitch===
To perform this glitch, player's Pokémon has to be {{cat|Binding moves|bound}} by another Pokémon. Because it is bound, the player should use healing items until the binding ends. If the opposing Pokémon then puts player's Pokémon to sleep on the turn the binding ends, the player's Pokémon will never move. To fix the glitch, the player has to cure the sleep status.

{{Youtubevid|fQF5Z5znLnc|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Vending machine glitch===
If the player has enough money to buy a [[Fresh Water]] (at least {{pdollar}}200) but not enough to afford a [[Soda Pop]] or [[Lemonade]], the [[vending machine]]s atop [[Celadon Department Store]] still allow these more expensive drinks to be purchased. The player's money will be reduced to {{pdollar}}0 rather than becoming a negative number.

{{Youtubevid|kfwBgX1tVWQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Victory Road Bicycle music quirk===
If, while riding the [[Bicycle]] in [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]], the player falls through a hole, they will, on landing, no longer be riding the Bicycle; nonetheless, the Bicycle theme music will continue to play until the player enters a battle, leaves the dungeon, changes floors, or resets the game.

This glitch occurs neither in the Japanese nor the international versions of Pokémon Yellow; instead, the Bicycle music does not play at all in Victory Road.

{{Youtubevid|N87X9DE5-zk|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Walking through an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC onto the path that Professor Oak takes to bring the player to the laboratory, Professor Oak and the player will walk right over and through her.

{{Youtubevid|vfK_v_qu380|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Walking through walls===
To walk through walls, the player must first trick the game into letting them exit the {{safari|Kanto}} while it still thinks the Safari Game is running. To do this the player must enter the Safari Zone, paying {{Pokedollar}}500 to play. Next the player must try to exit the Safari Zone, but when asked if they want to leave early, they must select no. Now, the player must save the game and restart. When the game loads, the player must again exit the Safari Zone, but this time, the attendant will treat the player as if they entered from [[Fuchsia City]], and when the attendant asks if the player wants to play the Safari Game, the player must select no. From there on there are two methods to doing the glitch

====Ledge jump method====
For this method, the player must first get a {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon before entering the Safari Zone, and deposit all of their other Pokémon in the PC. Either the poisoned Pokémon must have high HP (over 124) or the player must have enough [[Potion]]s to keep it from fainting too early. Then the player must enter the Safari Zone only with the poisoned Pokémon, then follow the above steps.

After setting up the glitch, the player then jump off a ledge exactly when the game thinks the Safari Game should end. When the player jumps off a ledge, they temporarily lose collision interactions with solid objects until they land on the lower ground, so if the game transitions to another map before the player can land, the collision interactions are never restored. To make extended use of this glitch, the player must also black out while inside the Safari Zone's entrance building after being warped back when the Safari Game ended.

From there, the player must walk 499 steps, ending at a position in the city where they can jump off a ledge with one more step. (The poisoned Pokémon loses HP every four steps and causes the screen to flash, so it is possible to count 124 flashes and take 3 further steps. By the same token, it is also possible to calculate a loss of 124 HP for the poisoned Pokémon and track its HP.) If the poisoned Pokémon has less than 124 HP, a Potion must be used on it to prevent it from fainting.

After the player has walked 499 steps and is in an appropriate position, they must jump off the ledge so that they are in midair when they run out of steps for the Safari Game (with the glitched drop shadow sprite underneath the player). They will be warped back to the Safari Zone entrance building and the background music will stop. The player is now able to walk through walls, but attempting to leave the building without the doors at this point would cause the game to crash. Talking to the man will only cause him to say "Welcome to the Safari Zone" without actually asking if the player wants to enter. If the player enters the Safari Zone, they will have over 100 Safari Balls and possibly infinite steps, but the player can't walk through walls anymore. If the player walks around in the building until the poisoned Pokémon faints, they will black out and be warped to the last [[Pokémon Center]] they healed at, and from there they will be able to walk through walls anywhere outdoors. The glitch wears off when entering a door (the normal entrance square to the bridge to the S.S. Anne where the NPC normally stops the player counts as a door).

====Pewter Museum guide NPC method====
Another simpler method is to use the NPC that guides the player to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. What the player must do is run out of Safari Zone steps during the cutscene where the NPC is guiding the player to the museum. If done correctly, the player will be teleported to the Safari Zone entrance, then upon leaving will instead be exiting from the [[PokéMart]] in [[Pewter City]] and a textbox pops up. Then they must save and reset.

Afterwards the player will find the NPC infinitely walking downwards and looping each time he goes offscreen. The player must then talk to him while standing to the right of the Pokémon Center entrance, which begins a walking sequence with the menu repeatedly popping up. Holding B allows the player to walk anywhere except down. If player uses Fly, they will be able to walk through walls in any direction while holding the B button, until they enter a door or Trainer battle.

====Outcome====
If done correctly the player will enter a state where they can walk through any solid object. If the ledge jump method was used, the player can still talk to NPCs and interact with them as normal. If the Pewter Museum guide method was used, the player cannot interact with NPCs or objects on the overworld. Trainer battles will still trigger (however, upon completion of the battle, normal collision effects will be restored) and normal chat dialogue will remain. The player can interact with the "on display" Pokémon in Fuchsia City where their only dialogue is "!". If the player heads to Cycling Road and finishes a trainer battle, they can walk around without a bike. If the player battles a trainer while standing on water, they will be unable to move in any direction without the use of Surf after the battle.

The player is also able to fly and retain the ability to walk through walls. Under certain scenarios, this glitch may trigger the Glitch City glitch. Depending on the location, the overworld can have incorrect tilesets. For example Indigo Plateau has a unique tilesets, thus Flying there then walking in other places in Kanto causes buildings and other tiles to look unusual.

Saving the game and reloading it restores normal collision effects. If the player stands on Cycling Road and saves and loads the game, they can walk around on Cycling Road without a bicycle. Saving and loading the game while on a water tile causes the player to be unable to move without the use of Surf. Saving and loading the game while standing on top of the guard to the S.S. Anne allows the player to enter the bridge and then the ship. If an NPC forces the player to move, the glitch is cancelled.

This glitch may also replace the sprites of some Trainers.

{{Youtubevid|Nfumn28lC0M|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Yami shop===
The "Yami shop" glitch changes the selection of items that can be bought in any [[Poké Mart]]. To perform it the player must have obtained a glitch item with an unterminated name, one recommended item is "PC" in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which can be obtained with [[item underflow]]. The player must first open the Pokémon menu in a certain location, the most recommended location is in front of the cashier, however it can be done in certain other locations as long as at least one tree tile is between the Pokémon menu and player's name, and the player does not open the Start menu again before speaking to the cashier. Next the player should attempt to sell the glitch item and cancel (sometimes the player is unable to sell it). The music will then fade out, then at this point the player should select "Buy".

Doing this corrupts the selection of purchasable items, allowing glitch items or normally non-purchasable items to be bought. The player can now buy items such as [[Safari Ball]]s or [[Master Ball]]s, and other items which normally cannot be bought ([[Oak's Parcel]], [[Gym Badges]], etc). Many items that are normally unable to be bought will not have a price. The selection of items vary depending on where the player last opened the Pokémon menu.

===Trade evolution learnset oversight===
[[Generation I]] Pokémon that can evolve by trading can be taught glitch moves through this glitch. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause that move to become a glitch move.

For example, trading a level {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=34 {{p|Graveler}}|1=34 {{p|Machoke}}|2=31 {{p|Kadabra}}}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=Graveler|1=Machoke|2=Kadabra}} evolve into {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{p|Golem}}|1={{p|Machamp}}|2={{p|Alakazam}}}}. Since it is level {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=34|1=34|2=31}}, it will learn {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{m|Rollout}}|1={{m|Vital Throw}}|2={{m|Future Sight}}}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so it will become {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{m|TM05}}|1={{m|TM33}}|2={{m|TM48}}}}.

==Glitches involving communication with Poké Transporter and Pokémon Bank==
===Pokémon Bank hex:FF glitch Pokémon glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Test other glitch Pokémon. Check if there are other ways to prepare the box.}}
If a player attempts to transfer a Box 1 that has one Pokémon, an [['M (00)]] or [[3TrainerPoké $]] and eighteen Pokémon (in that order) through Poké Transporter and a 3DS Virtual Console versions of Red, Blue and Yellow, the Generation I game will be left with one [['M (FF)]] or [[Q ◣]] which is an [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]] of 'M (00) or 3TrainerPoké $ with a blank OT, ID of 00000 and no moves.

This Pokémon can be used for the [[Pokémon merge glitch]] unless stabilized through Day Care back into 'M (00) or 3TrainerPoké $.

'''Gabite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガバイト''' ''Gabite'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gible}} starting at [[level]] 24 and evolves into {{p|Garchomp}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==
Gabite is a medium-sized, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon that is primarily blue. Its underside is light blue, with red covering it from the middle of its abdomen to the bottoms of its jaw. Gabite has two appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s or {{wp|plane}} engines extending out the side of its skull. Each appendage has a blue stripe. It has four fins, one on each arm, one on its back, and another on its tail. The back fin has a notch on it for the male. It has spikes on its hind limbs, and sharp claws on its feet. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}e and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|Iris (anatomy)|irises}}.

Gabite is a fierce and predatory Pokémon, known for its scales, which have medicinal properties and can heal most [[Status condition|illnesses]]. Gabite has short, extremely sharp teeth, like its pre-evolved form Gible. It has been known to move at {{stat|speed|extreme speeds}}. The protrusion on Gabite's head allows it to emit ultrasound waves, which can be used for navigating through pitch-dark caves. Gabite is also a very territorial creature and will fight back against enemies to protect its home. Gabite is passionate about shiny objects, such as gems and even {{p|Carbink}}, and it hoards a collection of them in its nest. When it sees {{p|Sableye}} trying to take Carbink as food, Gabite jealously attacks the Sableye.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ursula Gabite.png|thumb|250px|Gabite in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ursula's Gabite]]====
[[Ursula]] owns a Gabite, which debuted in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''. The episode also marked the species' main series debut. Gabite is Ursula's main Pokémon and has been used in several [[Contest Battle]]s.

====Other====
Gabite debuted in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''. He was sick of others wanting to get his scales, so he asked for a battle in exchange for one. He was eventually beaten by [[Team Poképals]] as part of their first exploration mission, who needed a scale to heal a {{p|Shinx}}'s ill younger sister.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Gabite appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

A Gabite appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s Garchomp was revealed to have been a Gabite.

==Trivia==
* Gabite shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Druddigon}}. They are both known as the Cave Pokémon.
* [[Gabite Scale]]s were stated to be a cure for [[Illness in the Pokémon world|sickness]] in the anime special ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Gabite cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Gabite resembles a {{wp|Therapoda|theropod}} dinosaur and a {{wp|shark}}.

====Name origin====
Gabite may be a combination of がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'' (to gobble or gulp down) and ''bite''. It may also derive from がぶりと ''gaburito'' (bite or chew) or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'' (to sink one's teeth into).

'''Milcery''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マホミル''' ''Mahomil'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Alcremie}} while holding a [[Sweet]] when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose. The form it evolves into depends on [[time]] of day, the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. It is also dependent on the type of Sweet that is held.

*Milcery evolves into Vanilla Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds during the [[Time|day]].
*Milcery evolves into Ruby Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds during the [[Time|day]].
*Milcery evolves into Matcha Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at [[Time|night]].
*Milcery evolves into Mint Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds at [[Time|night]].
*Milcery evolves into Lemon Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds at [[Time|night]].
*Milcery evolves into Salted Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds at [[Time|night]].
*Milcery evolves into Ruby Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds during the [[Time|day]].
*Milcery evolves into Caramel Swirl Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds during the [[Time|day]].
*Milcery evolves into Rainbow Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 10 seconds between 7:00 PM and 7:59 PM in-game time.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Milcery appears to be based on a drop of milk or a blob of cream.

====Name origin====
Milcery may be a combination of ''milk'' and ''sorcery'' or ''{{wp|Mercury (element)|mercury}}''.

Mahomil may be a combination of 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic) and ''milk''.

Silverlucario:

So I did about a hundred or so runs of this (they're quick), basically until it felt like I wasn't seeing any new items, but I'm sure there's some missing still.
TMs were rare; those found included Thief (twice), Toxic, Brick Break, Attract, Facade, and Frustration; these are all common in regular dungeons.
Only one time out of all of them, I got an Ice Beam TM from Stormy Sea - this is notable since that's an actual dungeon name, unlike the rest. That's also a rarer TM. This seems like some kind of special occurrence; I'm not sure how to add it to the article since there's a lot of unknowns (what dungeons can come up? how rare is this? is there a separate item pool for this?).

Unknown Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon)

2020-01-14T17:36:55Z

Silverlucario: Adding info since it's lacking. Not sure if I have all the dungeon names and items; information is difficult to find and I'm getting them manually.

[[File:Unknown Dungeon.png|thumb|100px|A {{p|Charizard}} exploring the Unknown Dungeon]]
The '''Unknown Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''みちのダンジョン''' ''Unknown Dungeon''), also known as Tag Mode, is a wireless feature of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]] that can be activated from the main menu.

When two players have this mode on and are close enough to each other, their current leader Pokémon will go into the dungeon while the system is closed. Unlike other dungeons, these outings are completed off-screen without player input. Their Pokémon will "befriend" each other, and will bring an item back from each dungeon explored. Some of these items are otherwise unobtainable.

The Unknown Dungeon can be repeated an unlimited number of times.

====Obtainable Items====
*{{DL|Throwing item|Cacnea Spike}}

(Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンすすめ！{{tt|炎|ほのお}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad''), (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンいくぞ！{{tt|嵐|あらし}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad''), and (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンめざせ！{{tt|光|ひかり}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad'') are a set of games for the [[WiiWare]] on [[Wii]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], making these so far the only ones to be released on a home console. The series is an adaptation of the {{wp|Mystery Dungeon}} games for Pokémon. Each title cost 1200 Wii Points (1234 Wii Points from April 2014). They were released exclusively in Japan on August 4, 2009, also making these so far the only ones not to have an international release. These titles are no longer legitimately obtainable since the Wii Shop Channel was shut down on January 31, 2019.

The three games are collectively referred to as the (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョン{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}シリーズ''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad series'').

The games contain the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}}, who was missing but made a cameo as a statue in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. The games focus on {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon depending on the version, and the home village's design changes accordingly. The games are not as plot-based as previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.

==Features==
* Pokémon appear using the same 3D models as [[My Pokémon Ranch]] and the [[Pokémon Rumble series]].
* The {{player}} can use the [[Nintendo DS]] as a controller.
* With the use of the internet, the player could ask for a rescue from another player.
* WiiConnect24 was used to download special missions.
* Pokémon can now [[Evolution|evolve]] inside of Dungeons. If an enemy defeats a party member, it will evolve to its next stage, if any, gaining new moves and levels; [[Reviver Seed]] does not prevent this from happening.
* Four different save files are available, making it one of the few titles in the entire Pokémon series that allows more than one person to play the same copy of a game.
** If a player purchases more than one version of the game, their save file can be used with any version to access different Pokémon.
* A new mechanic allows Pokémon to ride on each other, called [[Pokémon Tower (mechanic)|Pokémon Tower]], which allows them to perform simultaneous attacks with each other and move as one.
** The towers also allow Pokémon to learn [[Egg Move]]s, by watching another Pokémon in the tower perform the move a couple of times, allowing a Pokémon in the tower who can learn the move as an Egg Move to learn it.
* This is the first game in the series in which the main character is not a human transformed into a Pokémon.
* If players decide to go onto a dungeon without activating their accepted jobs for the dungeon, a confirmation of the decision will appear. Similar message will appear if player wants to go to the next floor without completing the job on current floor.

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}
The plot begins with an overview of the hub location. From there, {{p|Farfetch'd}} is seen fighting with either {{p|Sneasel}}{{sup/md|Bl}}, {{p|Floatzel}}{{sup/md|St}} or {{p|Grumpig}}{{sup/md|L}}. A {{p|Slowking}}, the town elder, quickly breaks the fight up. From here, an {{p|Aron}} and {{p|Swinub}} come up to Slowking. They ask for its help in rescuing a {{p|Shuckle}}. Slowking then asks a group of Pokémon to help. It is here when the player can choose their starter and other Pokémon from the group of Pokémon Slowking asked. The team goes into [[Dubious Forest]]{{sup/md|Bl}}, [[Dubious Hill]]{{sup/md|St}}, or [[Dubious Valley]]{{sup/md|L}}. After rescuing the Shuckle, the team is able to enter [[Cheerful Meadow]]{{sup/md|Bl}}, [[Exciting Meadow]]{{sup/md|St}}, or [[Sparkling Meadow]]{{sup/md|L}}.

==Pokémon Village, Beach, and Garden==
The central area of the three games are similar to [[Pokémon Square]] and [[Treasure Town]], however the area is different depending on which version the player is playing. {{OBP|Pokémon Village|Mystery Dungeon}} can only be found in Blazing, and is set around a volcano. [[Pokémon Beach]] can only be found in Stormy, and is set by the sea. [[Pokémon Garden]] can only be found in Light, and is set in a forest.

'''Duskull Bank''' - Here, the player can store any [[Poké|money]] that the player may find in dungeons, or may obtain from selling different objects.

'''Kangaskhan Warehouse''' - Here, the player can store items that the player finds in the dungeons, so the player doesn't lose them when the player faints inside a dungeon.

'''Kecleon Shop''' - This area is manned by a single {{p|Kecleon}}, instead of two, as in the past games. Here, the player can buy items, such as [[Wonder Orb|orbs]] and [[Berry#In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|berries]].

'''Gastrodon Shop''' - Here, the player can get his or her Treasure Chests opened for 100 Poké by a pair of {{p|Gastrodon}}. This feature is not opened up at the beginning of the game.

'''Slaking Move Relearner''' - {{p|Slaking}} can teach the player's Pokémon attacks which it has forgotten, but only those that it can learn via level-up.

'''The Slowking Elder''' - {{p|Slowking}} will send the player out on missions to help other Pokémon, similar to {{p|Wigglytuff}} from [[Wigglytuff's Guild]].

[[File:PMD Blazing Stormy Light Pokémon.png|thumb|right|280px|Some of the Starter Pokémon in the games and Slowking]]
Only two members of the squad are allowed into the first dungeon, and these are chosen by a selection screen rather than a quiz. They are shown wanting to save {{p|Shuckle}}, of which {{p|Slowking}} is glad of. Those not chosen are left with Slowking and can be switched out for at any time, and are allowed to be nicknamed later a single time each.

==Trivia==
* These are the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games to have separate dungeons for each version. Each version features 15 unique dungeons and, when all combined, equal 45 unique dungeons which is up to the standard of other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.
* These are the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games originally released on a home video game console.
* These are the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games that do not have a quiz that determines what Pokémon the player will be. Instead, the player selects two Pokémon to use in the first dungeon.
* In the United States copyright filings for the games, the titles of the games are translated twice. The first set of names are literal translations: '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad''', '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad''', and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad'''.

Masuda method

2020-01-03T08:52:32Z

Silverlucario: /* Reaction and purpose */

{{Unknown name}}
{{incomplete|needs=Does the Masuda method apply when a Pokémon is bred with another Pokémon originating from the ''same'' cartridge in a different-language playthrough?}}
The '''Masuda method''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|国際結婚|こくさいけっこん}}''' ''international marriage''), also known as '''Masuda's method''', is a fan-made term which describes a way to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] more easily from [[Generation IV]] onwards. While the standard encounter rate for a Shiny Pokémon (either in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or by {{pkmn|breeding}}) is 1/8192 from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]] and 1/4096 in [[Generation VI]] onwards, the Masuda method multiplies this rate by 5 (to 5/8192 or about 1/1638) in Generation IV, by 6 (to 6/8192 or about 1/1365) in Generation V, and by 6 (to 6/4096, or 1/683) from Generation VI onwards. It occurs whenever Pokémon of differing languages are bred.

The method is named after [[Game Freak]] director [[Junichi Masuda]], who programmed it into {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. He documented the method in his blog,<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30</ref> where he mentioned a way that "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier." The mechanics behind the method were discovered by [[Smogon]].

==Usage==
[[File:ORAS Pokémon summary ENG.png|right|thumb|The summary of an English {{p|Bulbasaur}} in an English game.]]
[[File:ORAS Pokémon summary ITA.png|right|thumb|The summary of an Italian Bulbasaur in an English game. The Pokémon is differentiated by an additional "ITA" language tag.]]
The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different languages. An Egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of being Shiny. The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pokémon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game provided at least one of the Pokémon in the pair is from a language different to the language the game is being played in.

If both Pokémon are foreign to the language the game is being played in but are both of the same language, then the Masuda method will not take effect. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, are treated as being from the same language as the game they were generated in, so they cannot be bred with another Pokémon from the same language for the Masuda method. In Generation IV, if the Masuda method is in effect, the [[Everstone]] will fail to increase the chance of passing on a Nature.

A Pokémon traded internationally while still in its Egg will retain the internal marking which recognizes it as a foreign Pokémon even though it appears to be native to the game it was hatched in.

Some examples are illustrated below; Pokémon bred in circumstances which invoke the Masuda method and have an increased chance of being Shiny are denoted by their Shiny sprite.

==Mechanics and reasoning==
An internal marker on each Pokémon (at 0x17 prior to [[Generation VI]], 0xE3 thereafter) identifies their "original language". If the game recognizes the two Pokémon in the daycare as having different languages, then when an Egg is generated, the game will generate extra [[personality value]]s in an attempt to find one that results in a Shiny Pokémon. This stacks with the [[Shiny Charm]]'s effect.

In [[Generation IV]], the game tries four extra personality values (resulting in approximately five times the probability of receiving a Shiny Pokémon, or 5/8192). In [[Generation V]] the game instead makes five extra attempts (resulting in six times the probability, or 6/8192).<ref>http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664</ref> [[Generation VI]] appears to work the same as Generation V (generating a probability of 6/4096 due to Generation VI's increased Shiny odds).

==Reaction and purpose==
From Generation IV onwards, trading with games from other countries became easier due to the [[Nintendo DS]]'s ability to communicate through [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The Masuda method was likely coded as incentive for players to use the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]'s international trading services.

The Masuda method is appealing to competitive players, since it allows them to obtain Shiny Pokémon with specific [[Egg Move]]s, [[Nature]]s and [[individual values|IVs]] that would be either unavailable or harder to obtain.

Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, are treated as being from the same language as the game they were generated in, so they cannot be bred with another Pokémon from the same language for the Masuda method. In Generation IV, if the Masuda method is in effect, the [[Everstone]] will fail to increase the chance of passing on a Nature.

A Pokémon traded internationally while still in its Egg will retain the internal marking which recognizes it as a foreign Pokémon even though it appears to be native to the game it was hatched in.

Some examples are illustrated below; Pokémon bred in circumstances which invoke the Masuda method and have an increased chance of being Shiny are denoted by their Shiny sprite.

==Mechanics and reasoning==
An internal marker on each Pokémon (at 0x17 prior to [[Generation VI]], 0xE3 thereafter) identifies their "original language". If the game recognizes the two Pokémon in the daycare as having different languages, then when an Egg is generated, the game will generate extra [[personality value]]s in an attempt to find one that results in a Shiny Pokémon. This stacks with the [[Shiny Charm]]'s effect.

In [[Generation IV]], the game tries four extra personality values (resulting in approximately five times the probability of receiving a Shiny Pokémon, or 5/8192). In [[Generation V]] the game instead makes five extra attempts (resulting in six times the probability, or 6/8192).<ref>http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664</ref> [[Generation VI]] appears to work the same as Generation V (generating a probability of 6/4096 due to Generation VI's increased Shiny odds).

==Reaction and purpose==
From Generation IV onwards, trading with games from other countries became easier due to the [[Nintendo DS]]'s ability to communicate through [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The Masuda method was likely coded as incentive for players to use the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]'s international trading services.

The Masuda method is appealing to competitive players, since it allows players to obtain Shiny Pokémon with specific [[Egg Move]]s, [[Nature]]s and [[individual values|IVs]] that would be either unavailable or harder to obtain.

Masuda method

Silverlucario: comparison to the radar is pretty obsolete (and I never saw proof of people preferring it; this text always felt like one person's opinion)

{{Unknown name}}
{{incomplete|needs=Does the Masuda method apply when a Pokémon is bred with another Pokémon originating from the ''same'' cartridge in a different-language playthrough?}}
The '''Masuda method''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|国際結婚|こくさいけっこん}}''' ''international marriage''), also known as '''Masuda's method''', is a fan-made term which describes a way to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] more easily from [[Generation IV]] onwards. While the standard encounter rate for a Shiny Pokémon (either in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or by {{pkmn|breeding}}) is 1/8192 from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]] and 1/4096 in [[Generation VI]] onwards, the Masuda method multiplies this rate by 5 (to 5/8192 or about 1/1638) in Generation IV, by 6 (to 6/8192 or about 1/1365) in Generation V, and by 6 (to 6/4096, or 1/683) from Generation VI onwards. It occurs whenever Pokémon of differing languages are bred.

The method is named after [[Game Freak]] director [[Junichi Masuda]], who programmed it into {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. He documented the method in his blog,<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30</ref> where he mentioned a way that "rare colored Pokémon's Egg can be found little easier." The mechanics behind the method were discovered by [[Smogon]].

==Usage==
[[File:ORAS Pokémon summary ENG.png|right|thumb|The summary of an English {{p|Bulbasaur}} in an English game.]]
[[File:ORAS Pokémon summary ITA.png|right|thumb|The summary of an Italian Bulbasaur in an English game. The Pokémon is differentiated by an additional "ITA" language tag.]]
The Masuda method involves breeding two Pokémon created in games of different languages. An Egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of being Shiny. The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pokémon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game provided at least one of the Pokémon in the pair is from a language different to the language the game is being played in.

If both Pokémon are foreign to the language the game is being played in but are both of the same language, then the Masuda method will not take effect. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, are treated as being from the same language as the game they were generated in, so they cannot be bred with another Pokémon from the same language for the Masuda method. In Generation IV, if the Masuda method is in effect, the [[Everstone]] will fail to increase the chance of passing on a Nature.

A Pokémon traded internationally while still in its Egg will retain the internal marking which recognizes it as a foreign Pokémon even though it appears to be native to the game it was hatched in.

Some examples are illustrated below; Pokémon bred in circumstances which invoke the Masuda method and have an increased chance of being Shiny are denoted by their Shiny sprite.
