Igglybuff then solved the puzzle of Armaldo's map in seconds, despite Armaldo working on its secret for a very long time. Igglybuff then convinced Armaldo to go on an exploration to the dungeon revealed by the map, [[Eastern Cave]].

At the end of [[Eastern Cave]], rather than solving the puzzle, Igglybuff chose to obliterate the door with his WOOM-TAH, impressing Armaldo.

===={{p|Gurdurr}}====
Carpenter of Post Town, he got injured in the past and quit building. He meets the player and scams them into getting five blue gems. Scraggy steals the gems, and gives them to Gurdurr. The Timburr, the player and partner Pokémon convince him to give up on scamming. He later joins the player together with Virizion, Dunsparce, Emolga and the Timburr in battle against the Pawniard Brothers and their gang. He eventually opens up his shop in [[Pokémon Paradise]], where he prepares new areas, builds facilities and redecorates.

===={{p|Timburr|Timburr Brothers}}====
They are Gurdurr's apprentices and joined him before he got injured. They tried to convince him to give up scamming. They later join the player alongside Gurdurr, Emolga, Dunsparce and Virizion in battle against the Pawniard. They are shown to be fearful of Gurdurr when he appears to be in a bad mood but have great respect for him. When Gurdurr opens up his shop in Paradise, they assist him when he builds new facilities, redecorates, etc.

===={{p|Scraggy}}====
He initially works together with Gurdurr to scam other Pokémon. After he is defeated he opens up his move shop in [[Pokémon Paradise]] after some convincing by Quagsire. He often insults the player, as well as other Pokémon, such as Victini, but restates it once he realizes Quagsire is standing near him. He tried to hide it, but he does appear to be rather fond of the player.

===={{p|Virizion}}====
{{main|Virizion (Gates to Infinity)}}
She is a lone warrior and arrives in Post Town, everyone fawning over her. She is known for rejecting any advances (friendship or love), which includes the latest from Dunsparce. She opens up and battles the Pawniard alongside the player, Dunsparce, Emolga, Gurdurr and the Timburr, after which she is automatically recruited into the team. It is later revealed by Umbreon, that Keldeo went to the Great Glacier and sent a note that he really wanted to get away from her. This caused Virizion to not want to associate with anyone, thinking that everyone would betray her.

===={{p|Dunsparce}}====
Initially introduced as a very shy guy and Emolga's best friend, he's revealed to have taken a liking to Virizion like everyone else in the town. He tries to get Virizion's attention by presenting her with a gift, but gets rejected. He gets tricked by the Pawniard into going to [[Desolate Canyon]] with them and the player, Gurdurr, the Timburr, Virizion and Emolga join him in battle against the Pawniard. He reconciles with Virizion and gets automatically recruited into the team together with Emolga. On the day of the Magnagate opening he pulls the short straw, but at the last second Emolga pushes Dunsparce in and he stays behind.

===={{p|Emolga}}====
He is first met when the player is looking for Dunsparce. He is Dunsparce's best friend and encourages to give Virizion a gift as a means of appreciation. After she rejects him, he instantly hates her and demands for her apology. He votes against her joining the team, but is later accepting towards her. When the player is asked to fill in a team name, he suggests "Emolga's Enforcers" which is longer than the character limit. When Dunsparce pulls the short straw, Emolga pushes him into the Magnagate.

===={{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}====
{{main|Umbreon and Espeon (Gates to Infinity)}}
They are two dungeon researchers whom are brother and sister. They discovered ley lines together. The duo separates after a Purugly and Toxicroak attack them both for their [[Entercard|Entercards]]. Umbreon takes two Entercards that they created and Espeon takes the other two. Umbreon manages to reach Post Town and is cared for by Swanna, but Espeon is still on the run from the pursuers. She eventually meets Swadloon in [[Inflora Forest]] and gives him the Entercards. After introducing a [[Magnagate]] in the main story, Umbreon informs the player about Espeon and insists on her rescue. Umbreon reveals they met Virizion in the past and why Espeon is distant towards others. Later on, Umbreon and Espeon both open the portal to the Great Glacier, and enter the dungeon with the player.

===={{p|Keldeo}}====
Virizion's best friend from her past, and an Entercard enthusiast. He was the first Pokémon to visit the Great Glacier, leading to his capture and subsequent disappearance. He joins the team after the final battle.

===={{p|Hydreigon}}====
Originally thought to be a villain, Hydreigon is the physical embodiment of the Voice of Life and is the one behind the player coming to the Pokémon world. He is a very polite and silly Pokémon. He is first destroyed by Kyurem, but later returns and joins the team following the final battle. He can often be found at Swanna's inn, eating.

===={{p|Kecleon}}====
Runs the Kecleon Shop in [[Post Town]]. Unlike previous games, this shop is only run by one Kecleon. A Kecleon shop also appears in various dungeons, perhaps run by the same Kecleon. However, multiple Kecleon spawning after a theft leaves one to think otherwise.

===={{p|Rampardos}}====
Runs the Box Buster shop in Post Town. He has an aggressive attitude which he uses to open boxes for the player. He is proud of his work and comments on it after opening a box. He seems to have a crush on Cinccino, but doesn't like to admit it.

===={{p|Cinccino}}====
Runs the Gift Shop in [[Post Town]]. She has a cheery attitude and often ends dialogue with a "♪". She is also oblivious to the fact that Rampardos is fond of her.

===={{p|Cofagrigus}}====
Runs the Glorious Gold shop in [[Post Town]], buying gold bars in return for money or items. He doesn't sell gold bars. He refers to gold bars as "sparklies". He often laughs maniac-like.

===={{p|Victini}}====
{{main|Victini (Gates to Infinity)}}
Opens up the V-Wheel shop in [[Pokémon Paradise]] after it crashes down on the sign set up by Quagsire. He has an ecstatic attitude and often gets excited especially about his wheel.

===={{p|Azumarill}}====
Runs the Request Counter in [[Pokémon Paradise]]. The player has to talk to her to open and close the Request Gate and to cancel job requests.

===={{p|Foongus}}====
Runs the DLC shop in [[Post Town]]. He has the same line throughout the entire game.

===={{p|Lillipup}}====
A resident of Post Town, Herdier's grandson, and Swadloon's friend.

===={{p|Leavanny}}====
A resident of Post Town and Swadloon's mother. She comes running to the player for help before Umbreon is revealed.

===={{p|Swadloon}}====

===={{p|Rufflet}}====
A resident of Post Town.

===={{p|Dwebble}}====
A resident of Post Town.

===={{p|Trubbish}}====

===={{p|Ducklett}}====
A resident of Post Town often staying at Swanna's inn.

===={{p|Roggenrola}}====
A resident of Post Town.

=== Villians ===
====Bittercold====
{{main|Bittercold}}
The Bittercold is the main villain in the game. It is not a Pokémon, but rather a form that appears and proceeds to destroy the world. It's appearance was originally caused by the negative emotions of Pokémon, which it feeds off of. The player was called here to defeat the Bittercold, as Pokémon cannot approach the Bittercold without being suffocated by the negativity.
===={{p|Kyurem}}====
The inhabitant of the Glacier Palace, and the protector of the Bittercold. Kyurem has foreseen the destruction the Bittercold will bring to the Pokémon world, and sees it as his duty to protect that future. He is first encountered during the player's first visit to the Glacier Palace, where he insists that the team leave, and gives them a treasure chest of gifts. After the player defeats Munna and her friends for the first time, he destroys Hydreigon and stomps on the player. He is finally defeated by the player and their partner prior to the final battle against the Bittercold. He then admits that maybe the future can be changed, and that he would like to see the player succeed. He telepathically communicates with the player during the final battle.
===={{p|Munna}}====
Munna, along with Hydreigon, first appears in the player's dream prior to coming to the Pokémon world. The player believes they must rescue Munna from Hydreigon, but later discovers that Munna works for Kyurem, and is in fact out to destroy the player. After she and her friends are defeated by the player and their partner, she seems to come around to their way of thinking when she realizes she doesn't want her friends to be destroyed, and saves the player from falling in the Glacier Palace and cheers them on during the final battle with the Bittercold. She appears to be the leader of her friends, as they often refer to her as "Lady Munna".
===={{p|Pawniard|Pawniard Brothers}}====
They scam Dunsparce with a deal of getting stronger to get Virizion to be his friend. Once he realized this they started to attack him, but the player, and partner appear, and it becomes 3 on 2 until they call their goons and it becomes 6 on 3. Virizion, Emolga, Gurdurr, and The Timburr Bros. appear and they all battle. The Pawniard Brothers lose and flee.
===={{p|Toxicroak}} and {{p|Purugly}}====
Munna's friends and cohorts. They chase Umbreon and Espeon in search of the Entercards. When Umbreon makes it safely to Post Town, they catch Espeon and search her but don't find the Entercards, due to Espeon hiding them with Swadloon. They are then defeated by the hero and partner. It is later revealed that they work with Munna, Kyurem, and the Bittercold. Like Munna, they also change their minds about the world's destruction and cheer on the player during the final battle.
===={{p|Salamence}}====
During the trip to destroy the Bittercold, the player is faced with a battle against Salamence and two {{p|Chandelure}} who are part of Munna's gang. After Salamence is defeated, the three villains fall in defeat. Shortly after, Emolga is attacked by one of the two Chandelure but Espeon appears and knocks it out before it can do any harm. The player's team then uses Entercards to access the Glacier Palace. Salamence is added to the boss list after the player defeats it.

'''Anville Town''' (Japanese: '''カナワタウン''' ''Kanawa Town'') is situated in the northwestern part of the Unova region. It is accessed by riding the [[Battle Subway]]'s Brown line from Gear Station in [[Nimbasa City]]; no battles are required to be able to go to this town. On the weekends, some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s come to this town to exchange items.

==Places of interest==
===Lost-and-found===
A {{tc|Depot Agent}} handing out lost-and-found items lives in the south-eastern house, initially giving the player a Rare Candy. When visited, he will give a [[vitamin]], {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}, or {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}} for each set of seven consecutive battles won at the [[Battle Subway]] since last visit, capping at ten.

===The turntable===
Anville Town is known for its connection with locomotives, and every day a different train engine can be found on the turntable in front of the town's {{wp|Roundhouse}}, most of them a part of the Battle Subway system of trains. A {{tc|Worker}} on the bridge will explain their origins, inner-workings, and/or capabilities.

|-
! style="background:#{{unova color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}};" | {{color|{{night color}}|Train}}
! style="background:#{{unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}};" | {{color|{{night color}}|Description}}
|- style="background: #fff" width=120px
! width="10%" | Train 1
| Today's train car is a Hyperspeed Train! It runs faster than a rocket! It runs quieter than an air conditioner! I can see! I can see it! That lovely smooth curve! Ah, I wish I could reach out and touch it! I can see it so clearly! But I cannot touch the Hyperspeed Train! It really is hyper technology! As you can see, we engineers are always seriously dreaming that someday the dream will become a reality!
|- style="background: #fff"
! Train 2
|This is a Single Train! It's the oldest train in the Battle Subway. It's for a loop line to go around the Unova region! Do you know Tubeline Bridge? The train that runs on it is this Single Train.
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 3
|This Super Single Train is a new mass-produced car! It's an environmentally friendly train, because they revised all the parts to drastically reduce power consumption! Newer trains have to be built in a way that's both functional and environmentally friendly. Compared to the past, they've improved significantly.
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 4
|This car is a Double Train! This is a mass-produced car from a decade ago! Compared to a Single Train, the number of parts was reduced so it could be built for a lower cost. The number of parts influences the budget and construction time. The streamlined and beautiful design of the Double Train is still valued today.
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 5
|This Super Double Train is a new mass-produced car! Such a streamlined and refined design! Beauty and utility working together! That kind of beautility is unique to mass-produced train cars! It uses the same train car as a Super Single Train. The only difference is the appearance. It is a superb train car that will go down in the history of the Battle Subway!
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 6
|This car is a Multi Train! Few cars of this model were produced. This is a test car to develop future mass-produced cars that will replace the old Double Trains. The technology born during the creation of this train car made the Super Single Train and Super Double Train possible!
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 7
|This train car is a Super Multi Train! This is the latest train car! Improved acceleration and deceleration! Automated train-car controls! It's full of cutting-edge technologies. Also, a regeneration brake system, a car-body tilting system, a whatchamacallit system, a thingamabob system... I don't remember all the details, but it's just a big festival of all the latest technology!
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 8
|This train car is a Wi-Fi Train! It is the fastest long-distance high-speed train in the Battle Subway! This is called a pendulum car. Its body tilts while going around curves, so it can run without slowing down! Faster! Farther! Our engineers' spirits are infused in it!
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 9
|As you know, this is a local train to Anville Town! Isn't it just so cute? This one is a little slow and heavy. When it runs, the whole train sways. The train car is the same model as a Single Train. Because it is an old train car, I hear the maintenance is hard, but it's the one I always ride, because I loved it as a kid!
|- style="background: #fff"
!Train 10
|This train car is the kind that ran a long time ago. Compared to contemporary train cars, it has more parts, so I heard it was difficult to build. The old train cars built with lots of small parts have their own unique beauty and attract a lot of fans. Those cars no longer run in the Battle Subway, but I hear they're still used in a faraway region. Ah... I'd love to be on that train!
|- style="background: #fff"
! style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | Train 11
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | This train car is a new train to run in the future! Wooo! Cool! Super cool! The latest motor breathes fire! Uh-oh, if it really breathed fire, that would be bad! But it is full of the latest technologies! It's undergoing a lot of testing. It's called a gauge-convertible train. It's a sweet car that can adjust its wheels to run on any rail!
|}

===Traders===
Every [[Days of the week|Saturday and Sunday]], except on days when the Worker talks about the Hyperspeed Train, traders are present in town, who ask to trade their items for items in the player's [[bag]].

{{itlisth|road}}
{{itlistbod|Revive|In exchange for two [[Escape Rope]]s (on weekends)|BW|display={{DL|Revive|Revive}}}}
{{itlistbod|PP Up|In exchange for one {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}} (on weekends)|BW|display={{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}}}
{{itlistbod|Full Restore|In exchange for twenty {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}s (on weekends)|BW|display={{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}}}
{{Itlistfoot|road}}

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Black and White===
Anville Town has a population of 13, excluding the Trainers who come to town during the weekends. It is the third smallest town in the [[Unova]] [[region]].

==Variable scoring==
A flute track will be added to the background theme if the player is near a flautist playing on the bridge overlooking the turntable. When trying to talk to the flautist, instead of dialog, a message saying, "A beautiful tune is spreading throughout the town..." will be displayed. She is there every day of the week.

==Items==
{{itlisth|road}}

{{itlistbod|Rare Candy|From a man in the house at the southeast of the town|BW|display={{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}}}
{{Itlistfoot|road}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Anville Town anime.png|thumb|260px|right|Anville Town in the anime]]
Jessie and James arrive at Anville Town in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'' having followed the Subway tracks, and state it will be an important part of their plan. Team Rocket's mobile research lab arrived there in ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]''.

==Trivia==
* Anville's Japanese motto is {{tt|カナワとは交差する鉄の輪|Kanawa means intersecting iron rings}}.
* Anville Town is the first city or town in the Pokémon world to not be physically connected to another location by a [[route]] or [[cave]], yet is not an island.
** It is also impossible to use {{m|Fly}} to access this town, being the first to do so. It can be only accessed by the [[Battle Subway]] Brown Line.
** It is also the first of two settlements not to be represented by a city or town icon on the map, instead being represented by a generic location icon. The other is the [[Village Bridge]], which does not have ''any'' icon.
*** Both of these are also the only two settlements in a main series game, other than a {{player}}'s [[hometown]], not to feature a [[Pokémon Center]].

Ghost (type)

2012-04-17T16:02:26Z

SkyAltaria1: I'm really sorry!! error fixed! This isnt spam!

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=ghost|
HP=64.21 |
Attack=68.21 |
Defense=73.86 |
SpAtk=80.82 |
SpDef=77.46 |

SpDef=86.38 |
Speed=71.00 |
Total=488.75 }}


==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle
|type=Ghost
|weakto1=Ghost
|resist1=Bug
|resist2=Poison
|weaken1=Ghost
|unaffected1=Fighting
|unaffected2=Normal
|noeffect1=Normal
|noeffect2=Psychic
}}

===Generation II-onward===
{{typebattle
|type=Ghost
|weakto1=Dark
|weakto2=Ghost
|resist1=Bug
|resist2=Poison
|weaken1=Ghost
|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|resisted2=Steel
|unaffected1=Fighting
|unaffected2=Normal
|noeffect1=Normal
}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen elemental types.

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* The only Ghost-type move with more than 80 base power is {{m|Shadow Force}}, exclusive to {{p|Giratina}}.
**{{m|Hex}}, however, will have a base power of 100 if the target is inflicted with a status ailment.
* All [[Generation V]] fully evolved Ghost-type Pokémon are used by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four.
* The Ghost type is the only type that, when paired, can have a double weakness to itself, through the hypothetical Ghost/{{t|Psychic}} pairing. {{t|Dragon}}, the other type that is weakened by itself, only weakens itself.
* Generation V introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Ghost-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Misdreavus|one}}.
* There is one [[Elite Four]] member /[[Gym leader]] that specializes in the Ghost-type in every region: [[Agatha]], [[Morty]], [[Phoebe]], [[Fantina]] and [[Shauntal]].

SkyAltaria1: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen elemental types.

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen elemental types.

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* The only Ghost-type move with more than 80 base power is {{m|Shadow Force}}, exclusive to {{p|Giratina}}.
**{{m|Hex}}, however, will have a base power of 100 if the target is inflicted with a status ailment.
* All [[Generation V]] fully evolved Ghost-type Pokémon are used by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four.
* The Ghost type is the only type that, when paired, can have a double weakness to itself, through the hypothetical Ghost/{{t|Psychic}} pairing. {{t|Dragon}}, the other type that is weakened by itself, only weakens itself.
* Generation V introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Ghost-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Misdreavus|one}}.
* There is one [[Elite Four]]member /[[Gym leader]] that specializes in the Ghost-type in every region: [[Agatha]], [[Morty]], [[Phoebe]], [[Fantina]] and [[Shauntal]].

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* The only Ghost-type move with more than 80 base power is {{m|Shadow Force}}, exclusive to {{p|Giratina}}.
**{{m|Hex}}, however, will have a base power of 100 if the target is inflicted with a status ailment.
* All [[Generation V]] fully evolved Ghost-type Pokémon are used by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four.
* The Ghost type is the only type that, when paired, can have a double weakness to itself, through the hypothetical Ghost/{{t|Psychic}} pairing. {{t|Dragon}}, the other type that is weakened by itself, only weakens itself.
* Generation V introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Ghost-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Misdreavus|one}}.
* There is one [[Elite Four]]member /[[Gym leader]] in every region: [[Agatha]], [[Morty]], [[Pheoebe]], [[Fantina]] and [[Shauntal]].

SkyAltaria1: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Poison (an uncommon type offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen elemental types.

Poké Mart

2012-04-17T13:50:38Z

SkyAltaria1: /* Generation I */

[[File:PokemartHGSS.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Mart Sketch.jpg|256px|right|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept of a Poké Mart]]
A '''Poké Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop'') is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. A Poké Mart's stock varies with its location, such as {{DL|Poké Ball|Net Ball}}s being available in [[Blackthorn City]] and {{DL|Poké Ball|Quick Ball}}s being available in [[Lavender Town]]; however, as of Generation IV, only one clerk's varies from town-to-town, while the other remains consistent. Some sell more items than others. Poké Marts also buy many different items in exchange for [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. Much of the merchandise sold at such stores is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]].

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game does not have a Poké Mart. Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous in the {{Pkmn|anime}} as they are in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is activated, a deliveryman may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the {{player}}. The deliveryman only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, another deliveryman will give the player a range of items, including [[Potion]]s and [[Berry|Berries]], when the player's savings with their [[Mom|mother]] have reached certain points.

In [[Generation IV]], there are two vendors in each Poké Mart. One will sell standard items, and the other will sell regional specialties. Unlike in previous games, rather than the items and their quantity varying by location, the merchandise's availability will increase with each [[Badge]] obtained. For example, if all Badges are under a player's possession, the same items will be found at each Poké Mart around [[Sinnoh]], [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. In [[Generation V]], the Poké Mart is no longer a separate store, but inside the [[Pokémon Center]] to the right of the entrance.

==Generation I==
[[File:Oak Parcel I.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
The player will come across their first Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]], as they travel across the town. If the player enters the Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]] for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. The {{ka|old man}} to the north of the city will not move until the package is delivered to Professor Oak, and [[Poké Balls]] cannot be bought in Viridian City until the player has returned from this errand.

On {{rt|1|Kanto}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

==Generation III==
[[File:Pokemart RSE.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Pokemart FRLG.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Oak's Parcel}} required for delivery before the Poké Mart in Viridian City will have Poké Balls available.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poke Mart.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. The Poké Mart expands its supplies as the player wins [[badge|gym badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation; the one on the right sells items that can be found in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]]. Unlike in other regions, Poké Balls are available immediately in Sandgem Town.

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or [[event Pokémon|Pokémon]] from a Nintendo event, a deliveryman wearing a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, if the player opted to have their [[mom|mother]] save some money, an item will occasionally be delivered by a deliveryman in red.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City#Cianwood City Pharmacy|Cianwood City}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town shop===
{{main|Mahogany Town#Shop and hideout|Mahogany Town}}
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Mt. Moon Square shop===
{{main|Mt. Moon Square#Shop|Mt. Moon Square}}
There is a shop in [[Mt. Moon Square]] that is only open from 10:00AM until 5:59PM.

===Two Island Market stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island (town)}}
{{OBP|Two Island|town}}, rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s (here spelled Rage Candybar), though they are never in stock in-game.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town#Shop|Celestic Town}}
In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple run a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away [[Choice Specs]] in the morning, [[BlackGlasses]] during the day, and [[Wise Glasses]] at night.

===Safari Zone Gate stalls===
{{main|Safari Zone Gate#Shops|Safari Zone Gate}}
There are two stalls at the [[Safari Zone Gate]], one selling [[Poké Ball]]s, the other [[vitamin]]s.

===Eterna City Herb Shop===
{{main|Eterna City#Herb Shop|Eterna City}}
In the far east near the Pokémon statue in [[Eterna City]], there is a lady who sells [[Heal Powder]], [[Energy Powder]], [[Energy Root]]s, and [[Revival Herb]]s.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], there are no Poké Marts, as it takes place in an alternate world. However, two {{p|Kecleon}} run [[Kecleon Shop|their own shop]] based in [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]] and local dungeons. These shops have the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart, selling common items, as well as selling [[Wonder Orb]]s and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Treasure Bag]]. The Kecleon shop is run by two Kecleon brothers. The younger sells items like {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}} and [[toss items]] and the older sells Wonder Orbs and [[TM]]s.

Kecleon Shops can also be found in dungeons. The shop is made up of a number of carpeted tiles on the floor in certain dungeons. These tiles have items on them. Invariably, a Kecleon will be standing on one of these tiles. When the player steps on a carpeted tile, the music changes and the player is greeted by the Kecleon. To buy an item, the player must pick it up and talk to the Kecleon to pay for them. To sell items, the player simply places them on empty shop tiles, and then receives the money from the Kecleon. Items available this way are sometimes very rare and almost never available from the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square or Treasure Town. If the player picks them up and leaves the carpeted area, {{p|Kecleon}} will warp to the player's side, and demand payment. If the player refuses to pay, or tries to pay with insufficient funds, the Kecleon will label the {{player}} as a thief and begin to attack.

===Shops in Orre===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, throughout [[Orre]], many Poké Marts can be found. However, in Colosseum, none of these Poké Marts sell [[Poké Ball]]s. The only place they are available in this game is the [[Outskirt Stand]], where most variations of Poké Ball from [[Generation III]] are sold.

In Pokémon XD, [[Agate Village]] and [[Pyrite Town]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls and Great Balls, while [[Phenac City]] and [[Gateon Port]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

==In the anime==

Poké Marts in the anime work the same as the ones in the games, where {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} buy [[Item|items]] for their Pokémon or sometimes [[seal]]s through the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. What is different from the games is that some stores contain phones with which to call people, most commonly {{an|Professor Oak}}. In {{series|Best Wishes}}, although Poké Marts are now part of the [[Pokémon Center]] in the games, it has been shown that Poké Marts still exist externally in the anime.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
* There are leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn..
* The Poké Mart has its own theme, introduced in Generation III. Before it, Marts shared their music with the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Generation I]], and in [[Generation II]], its music was the same as the city or town the player was in. In [[Generation V]] the theme isn't heard while in Poké Marts due to them being inside Pokémon Centers, but it is used in [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* While English-language versions of Pokémon have signs on the front saying "Mart", many non-English versions have the English word "Shop" instead.
