==Formes==
It says "Two new formes" but it does not say "of Kyurem." [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 02:22, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

::While it is all speculation they look more like alternate forms of Reshiram and Zekrom instead. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 02:34, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::[https://twitter.com/#!/Junichi_Masuda/status/173576515219505153 Stated Kyurem here.] But there's debate on whether they're forms or separate Pokémon. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:36, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Ah, nice to know then. Wonder if they'll have something to do with Reshiram and Zekrom at all, also looking forward to a bit of change in the overall story plot. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 02:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::Well, from what it looks like, it seems that it is combining Zekrom/Reshiram with Kyurem. I wonder how they will do that? Item? Special shrine? But about what Jo said above, they will be forms, as it says in [[Kyurem]]s trivia ''"There is placeholder data for an alternate form of Kyurem in Pokémon Black and White".'' --[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 02:59, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::Actually, if you watch the trailer for the new movie coming out on the Japanese website, it shows Zekrom and Reshiram's powers going into Kyurem. This further confirms that these are Kyurem's alternate formes, and not Zekrom's our Reshiram's. [[User:Mikk317|Mikk317]] 05:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I saw the covers of the games,and the white and black kyurem's on the covers look completely different then normal white kyurem and black kyurem.What gives?--[[User:Supermon|Supermon]] 12:38, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:There's also two "formes" for Reshiram and Zekrom (lit up and not lit up). They are apparently some "mode" (Formes with forms?). We don't really know much about them yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:44, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

thanks. i thought that Kyurem had 5 formes or something!--[[User:Supermon|Supermon]] 11:30, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

== Names of mascots ==

==US website==
Doesn't appear to have been added. [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ It's not much, but it's official.] [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] 10:57, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Color's for representation. ==

To avoid confusion with Black and White I think the 2 colors that represent this game on Wiki pages should be a blue and red to match the color on each logo and background for the official site. What do you guys think? [[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 12:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:What about if it gets confused instead with the Generation I games Red and Blue? Just pointing out... [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 12:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::All I have to say is Ruby and Sapphire. Besides they will be a different shade just like Ruby and Sapphire where and they will also be reversed, being Blue and Red instead of Red and Blue.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 12:55, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Thank you to the person who changed the color.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 13:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Wait, who changed it back and why?[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 13:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Mascots reversed? ==

I just noticed something on [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/46/Kyurem_forms.png the new release]. The Kyurem/Zekrom and Kyurem/Reshiram are reversed. On the original B/W, Zekrom was on the white side, and Reshiram on the black side. Its seems its reversed now.--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 15:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:Yes they are, but this isn't the right place for that discussion. Please go to the forums with comments/questions of this nature. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:44, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== generation ==

why is it under generation v? is there any offical source to this (even though we know it might be true) -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 16:37, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

We don't really know if it is Gen V, but the fact that it uses forms of a Gen V Pokemon as its mascot make if all but confirmed. The way it looks, at least for now, is that they decided to ditch the 3rd game idea for this Gen and instead do two full sequels to BW. If they say these are a new gen or we see completely new Pokemon then we can start talking about this being Gen VI, but as it stands I think we should just leave it be.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 16:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trying to clear up some unconfirmed rumors ==

I suggest a paragraph be added to the article stating something like "There is no confirmation on whether these games are a [[third version]] or not." [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 20:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The article doesn't even insinuate that, it says out right that they are second paired versions. 2 games can't be a 3rd version.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 22:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:What he trying to mean is, most people think that these games are the '"double" 3rd versions, like Platinum, Emerald and Crystal. But if that's so, you mean these are just the continued part of original B&W? There will be a real "third" version? That's almost impossible. {{unsigned|Acellutor}}

== Classification ==

Well,looks like it can have'''3''' types-Dragon+ice+fire\electric.And can it be a new duo or trio with Kyurem or Part of the tao trio?--Shravs [[User talk:Littleroot leader shravan(ability leader)|(New Bark Gym)]] 05:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
:From sources, Kyurem has two new forms, each resemblin to Zekrom and/or Reshiram. So it would still be within the Tao trio. But 3 types is OP, and awkward considering the type advantages/disadvantages. I would say Kyurem would be Ice/Dragon but retaining the power of it's other form. My speculation point, but I would doubt 3 types. [[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 06:06, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

==European Autumn 2012 Release Confirmed==
Could someone with the powers to edit this page please add that Nintendo UK have confirmed an Autumn 2012 release for this pair?

I'm unable to add it to the article myself, so can someone who is able to edit it add the date?
[[User:NFreak007|NFreak007]] 14:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

== Redirect sentence regarding the BW002 episode ==

Greetings, I respectfully disagree with the unitalicising of the English title portion, "Enter Iris and Axew". On this site, all episode titles are italicised when put against regular unitalicised text, and the opposite should be done in this case as in other examples elsewhere in life. [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 15:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:It is already italicized, which is what is used for titles. When it is surrounded by italicized text, it doesn't need to become un-italicized. This is how everything else does it anyway. It is more important to have the title in italics rather than in contrast to regular text. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:23, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

== 3ds or ds ==

will this be on 3ds or ds i need to know {{unsigned|Pokefanboy}}

:It'll be on the [[Nintendo DS]], but will be compatible with the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Yes, the press release was confusing. By the way, it's a good idea to sign your posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, which is converted into an automatic link to your userpage. {{unsigned|GoldenCelebi}}
:That article mentions this. Don't mean to sound rude, but this is exactly what this site is for. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 18:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

== English artwork ==
Possible to use these artworks? [http://fronttowardsgamer.com/2012/02/27/pokemon-black-and-white-2-announced/ Black & White 2] -- [[User:Chickensdoorknob|ℂℏɨ₡ƙ℮ᵰᵴ∂ⱺ☮яϰŊøɓ]] 23:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

::Those aren't fanmade, actually- they're on [http://www.play-asia.com/Pokemon_White_Version_2/paOS-13-71-ba-49-en-70-4lbh.html Playasia] and other pre-order sites. They're only placeholders, though. Official placeholders, but placeholders nonetheless. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 15:04, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Look at them, they were made in MSPaint. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

== Two official artworks? ==

How come Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have two official artworks? I'm not saying it's a mistake or even a lie, you can easily check that it's true by watching the Flash intro animation of the Japanese website. But that's the issue here: why are there two different yet official artworks for both of Kyurem's new Formes? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:There's also two artworks for Reshiram and Zekrom (lit up and not lit up). They are apparently some "mode" (Formes with forms?). We don't really know much about them yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia? ==

Would it be relevant and/or noteworthy to add that these games mark the second time the main series Pokémon games have the number 2 in their names, with the first time being the name initially announced for the original Gold and Silver ('''{{tt|ポケットモンスター２金・銀|Poketto Monsutā 2: Kin Gin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver'')? Even though the 2 was eventually dropped for Gold and Silver, it was still an official yet temporary name. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

== Parameter on the Japanese website URL ==

The URL for the Japanese website does not need the '''?a001=msign''' parameter. Please remove it. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

== Second set of direct sequels? ==

Aren't Black 2 and White 2 the second set of direct sequels in the main series? Gold and Silver are direct sequels to Red and Green (likewise, HeartGold and SoulSilver are direct sequels to FireRed and LeafGreen). The only difference is that they're from separate generations, since for all we know, Black 2 and White 2 are Generation V games like Black and White. If so, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:Considering that it hasn't even really been confirmed that these are sequels, I'd say no. Wait until we know for sure at least. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 00:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::Don't worry, I'll wait. I can't edit the article anyway. I was just pointing out this so it can be taken in consideration when we have full details about the games. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 13:56, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

==No info?==

Ummmm... The games are available for preorder. Shouldn't there be info on the storyline and stuff? it's-a me, [[User:Slowbro|anonymous]]

== The Myth ==

This is my version of the so-called myth of Magikarp and Gyarados:

Once upon a time, a person saw an odd fish Pokémon. He had good luck, unto that moment. He caught it, and named it MAGIKARP, because it resembled a carp, and since he had good luck, he thought it was magic that it looked so weak and he guessed it was a really strong Pokémon. He also had bad spelling, hence the K. He challenged one of the strongest trainers to exist, and he sent out the MAGIKARP. He told it to use its strongest attack against the other, which happened to be MISMAGIUS. It used Splash, and nothing happened. The MISMAGIUS used Dark Pulse, and the MAGIKARP fainted. The trainer offered to help, and he told his MISMAGIUS to use Shadow Ball as rapid as possible. The MAGIKARP started shaking. It started growing. It turned into GYARADOS. The next day, when he was training his GYARADOS, another fish Pokémon came along. GYARADOS and the other Pokémon dove down deep into the water. Then, when they came up, they were holding an egg. The person wondered what the egg would hatch. When it hatched, he found out the MAGIKARP he caught was female. He was such an unlucky person since MAGIKARP appeared.

Yeah, I'm a storyteller. Now...

Bulbapedia:Project Shipping

Slowbro: /* Participants */

{{Project leader|{{u|ArcToraphim}}}}
[[Image:Project Shipping logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Shipping'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project Shipping==
===Scope and aims===
Project Shipping covers all articles about Shipping. When developing new pages or adding to old ones, adhere to this: [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] for guidance on content.

===Participation===
'''PLEASE READ''': "All" is a misnomer; it is impossible to actively construct articles for all the known Ships. Bulbapedia is also an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias are professional tools. All information is relevant if it relates directly to the medium it spawns from, and is FACT. It is fact Ash is oblivious to the many crushes he's gotten; it is not fact he might currently reciprocate on any of them.

Shipping articles do offer bias, as Shipping itself is as bias as it is factual. It's fact Shipping is a major part of the fandom; it's not fact everyone agrees with everything that will be represented as evidence. Therefore, if you are going to participate in cleaning up the articles or creating them, please be aware of what is acceptable within the article. You might insert information another does not believe belongs, even though it fits possible "evidence"; unlike the main space, information here is not judged the same, only because everything on the main space is generally ironclad and there is no room for fanon, weak evidence, or lazy information. In that frame of mind, even bias information is subject to disbelief, and can be deleted if the evidence is not sustainable.

tl;dr - Crap is still crap. You can grasp at straws, but you're better off not, for the sake of an article's integrity. Know your information, and if you have to, explain it coherently (just not over-glossed and embellished).

===Page Creation===
If you want to create an article that is not listed on the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]], it would be wise to ''ask'' the current project leader if it's actually okay, with ''a valid argument for it''. There are over 6,000 Ships in the Pokémon fandom alone; not all of them deserve articles on the merit of existence alone.

AUGUST 21, 2009: There will be '''no more''' pages for nevermets without prior consultation with the Project Leader. Any future articles will need to have a founding basis for the article, and will be given a week-long trial on its worth. Meaning, unless it's an article on a somewhat canon interrelation, such as ChikoShipping, AdvanceShipping, or CollideShipping, it will be rightly judged if it's worth notability. So before publishing the page, please construct it to an adequate size. If there is little to be said for the couple past popularity and straw-clutching (IkariShipping), then chances are it's not worth it. However, we will be the judge of that, if it's worth its weight or not.

===Structure===
====Title====
All articles should be known as 'Shipping:{name}Shipping' and a page, '{name}Shipping' should be created with only the template <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect}}</nowiki>. There is no need to put <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect|PAGENAME}}</nowiki> because the template has that covered.

Also, at the start of each article in the Shipping namespace you should add a [[Template:Ship|<nowiki>{{ship}}</nowiki>]] template so as to warn people.

If the article is a stub, use the template mentioned below.

====Other====

:''For further structure templates, including multi-ship articles, see [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/Article Structure]]''

===Goals===
# Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
##This means they are to be substantial, well written (even if they are short articles), and with substance.
# Ensure that all hints/evidence/facts are in the originating media and not from fanfiction. All fanon information is to be eliminated.
##All given hints/evidence/facts should also be meaningful and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.

'''Isamu Akai''' (赤井勇) nicknamed '''Red''' is the protagonist of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. He is based on {{ga|Red}} from the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}. His surname contains the Japanese word for "red" ('''赤''' ''aka'').

==In the manga==
Isamu is a young Trainer from [[Pallet Town]] who received a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] and was sent on a quest to find out more about Pokémon.

Isamu encounters a violent male {{p|Clefairy}} on his way to Professor Oak's lab, and together they defeat a giant {{p|Nidoran♂}} by accident. When Clefairy follows Isamu to the laboratory, Isamu chooses to travel with the Clefairy because he finds his antics amusing.

Unlike his rival, Isamu doesn't catch a lot of Pokémon. He has two (later three) favorites, which he keeps [[walking Pokémon|outside their Poké Balls]]. He has caught several others, including {{p|Articuno}}, but never uses them in battle.

He continues his journey in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]], the sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in [[Hoenn]], and in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}, the second sequel of Pokémon Pocket Monsters that takes place in [[Sinnoh]].

His rival is [[Kai Midorikawa]].

Is caild shiping when it's none Pokemon? Like Lufy and Nami from One Peace--[[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 23:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, shipping is pretty much a universal term that is not exclusive to Pokémon. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 02:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Why not? It makes sense, since there is plenty of speculation already, why not at least offer a link to the appropriate shippy section? Also, is there an article that lists all ships described on Bulbapedia? 'Cause I think that might be appropriate here. (Where's altoshipping on this "favorites" list? *pout*)

Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it ({{p|Jynx|though it does happen...}}). Some people find shipping in general to be offensive, while some disagree with having spoilers of things that have only been shown in Japan at the time. These aren't going to be removed, so why should this? {{Unsigned|Hyper Turtwig}}

:Keep them up. Weather you thing Homosexuality is wrong or right, it doesn't matter, some people do some people don't. I can't actually stand people who are always against homosexuality and are always like "yeah its wrong blah blah blah" (being Bi-sexual and having a girlfriend myself...).

:I see no reason why homosexual shipping should be removed. Bulbapedia is supposed to have a neutral POV. One's beliefs on what is right or wrong should have no bearing on the deletion of RELEVANT and LEGITIMATE articles. I agree with Hyper Turtwig, if some find shipping in general to be offensive, why should one class of shipping be removed but the rest spared?[[User:Draconium|Draconium]] 23:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Um, I actually think the original poster was insinuating upon that he doesn't think odd pairings between members of the same sex is right, aka May and Dawn (simply because people think they would look "cute" together), Ash and Gary (as they are pretty much rivals), and others related to those. - [[User:JWhitt|J]][[User_talk:JWhitt|Whitt]] 09:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

==In regards to adding articles==
While I'm definately not immersed in the shipping scene, I do notice a few trends that don't have articles yet, like Ash's Chikorita/Bayleef having her obsession over Ash, it's probably as significant as the Latias one. The side of me that likes to add articles started kicking in, but really, what does one do, just make an article and make up a name for the shipping? Or is there some accepted name for how these shipping things turn out, or what? @_@ Toastypk 22:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
: We has a list; we likes to use it. Ash/Chikorita is Chikoshipping, and Ash/Bayleef is Bodyslamshipping. If the side that kicks you into making articles exist, be our guest. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 14:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

==[[LuckShipping]]==

:{{u|ArcToraphim}} says there needs to be at least one Brock ship up there. And according her, it's the most popular Brock ship.

::Popularity is found within the voice of fans and not always the fanwork that goes with it. Kenji's correct: I want a mixed list that simply isn't all Ash (which is why Boulder isn't there, even though I'm a fan and I know it has a moderate following). The lack of a Misty 'ship is due to her not being currently present in the group, coupled with not having an alternate, non-Ash 'ship that has the following of Contestshipping (no, Orange doesn't compare; if she did, it wouldn't matter that she's gone like May, it would have been up there). Dawn and Zoey for the lesbian side (Ikari might be thee most popular Dawn 'ship, but Appeal and Penguin at least have something to stand on), Ash and Gary for the gay side (not to mention, still darn popular), Contest because it's nigh-canon, Luck as Brock's top 'ship because Brock is still current (thus shall set an example), and Rocket because that's never going to die.

:::Well then what about [[KitchenMaidShipping]] or [[TeenCareShipping]], these two shippings have more evidence and TeenCareShipping has a fansite dedicated to it. - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::::No. It doesn't matter "what has more evidence" or which one has a website. That's not the point. It'll never be KitchenMaid because Autumn is no different than Wilhemina, Temacu, or Natalie: she's a one-off character (AND it's not wildly popular). And Luckshipping against TeenCareshipping...I work off what I hear and see on the forums: Lucy would still beat Holly at the polls as the preferred Brock-ship. Okay? This isn't exactly a debate. Because if you haven't noticed, that listing is called "'''Some''' popular ships include," meaning they aren't ''thee'' top ten most awesomeawesome 'ships in the world. They're ''some'' of the most popular 'ships in the fandom. And we have plenty of those; at the very least, thirty.
::::Why is this so damn important to you? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

==List of Popular Ships==
I don't think [[LuckShipping]] should be here. As stated before, there isn't many fan made arts or stories about Brock and Lucy. And it's not usually voiced by the fans. If there's a need to be at least one Brock Ship then it should be [[GymShipping]]. I'm not a fan of this ship, but GymShipping is mentioned most of the time rather than LuckShipping and there are fanworks. {{unsigned|Jczala}}
:I agree! I feel that Gymshipping is much more popular then luckshipping beacuse it was one of the original shipings so it has lots of fans. I think Luckshipping should be taken off for Gymshippinmg.[[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::I gave my reasons above. You want more? How about, with Luckshipping's inclusion, it's not simply a list between main characters and their rivals (providing minimally accepted diversity/variety)? It stands out as the 'ship that isn't so interlaced with the heavily recurring characters. Luckshipping IS popular (I traverse enough 'shipping forums to know it's a preferred Brockship in recent times), more so than TeenCareshipping, and it doesn't matter about the lack of fanworks. Gymshipping might be the more popular Brockshipping within the overall cast, but Misty has currently fallen off the scene, thus promoting her heavily goes against the grain of getting off the Advance horse and onto the DP horse.
::Why is this such a big deal?? No one's picketing my door because I didn't include Ikarishipping or Comashipping. Or Abilityshipping, or Pikashipping (which probably SHOULD be there, now that I think of it, or Altoshipping, as a pokéship). Or Egoshipping, or Twinleafshipping, or Cavaliershipping, or a Max or Tracy 'ship. Why do you CARE? It's a LIST, of '''SOME''' popular 'ships. It is not ALL, or the ONLY popular 'ships. This shouldn't be an issue. Honestly. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I think it's uch more reasonable for GymShipping to be included instead of LuckShipping. I understand that you've traveled so many forums that have made this shipping with BrockxLucy very popular in the fandom. But I have also been to a lot of forums myself, both Pokemon-centric and not, and saw that Gym Shipping is a lot popular and rather preferred choice of Shipping for Brock. I especially take into consideration the fans who only find some leisure time in Pokemon. Many of them stated that GymShipping would be a good Shipping for Brock. I've also asked around online the rabid fans I know and found out that they recognize GymShipping more than LuckShipping. First of all, both Brock and Misty had so many interactions and hints that make this shipping somewhat solid. It also poses a threat to the popular and ever-so-strong PokeShipping. Misty had been a main character in the show and most fans know her more than Lucy. In addition to that, Lucy had only appeared in few episodes and she is never brought up by Brock again. Misty, at least, appeared in DP in a form of a lure and Brock is the one who explained to Dawn who she is. I have nothing against Lucy, as she is my favorite Frontier Brain. But LuckShipping does not overshadow GymShipping. It should be GymShipping in the list of popular ships and not LuckShipping. [[User:mikanlamperouge|mikanlamperouge]]
::::If Misty ever gets back as a regular cast member or with a near-canon 'ship that isn't Pokéshipping, we'll see about changing the line-up. But the POINT of having Luckshipping is '''diversity''' to that small, tiny list. I went over my reasons for Luck over Gym. It's also just a list of '''some''' popular 'ships, not the "most popular" (something a bunch of you guys are not understanding). I'm tired of repeating myself. I don't wish to again on the matter. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 03:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I honestly find BrockxNurse Joy more popular--even for kids. Seriously, I've seen so many fandom works that involve more GymShipping than LuckShipping. I have no particular interest in GymShipping, but a lot of fans still like it. The hints shown in the series were rather convincing and not just a one-time love feeling in Brock's part. I also respect this shipping and don't want this dying for the sake and remembrance of the original series. Like PokeShipping, GymShipping serves as a reminder for fans, old and new, that there were great times spent in the original series. It also goes to show that many fans still would like Misty as the one for Brock, considering all they've been through. When it comes to fandom, I agree that LuckShipping is growing, but it is at the same time a shipping with a very short romance for Brock. Misty, who had been a main character before and a fellow Gym Leader, had more chances to be with Brock. Keep in mind that Misty was always the one who dragged him away from girls. Brock has also shown his good share of care and compassion towards Misty. Many fans also find the two's relationship rather entertaining. A lot of shippers agree to the fact that GymShipping had also pose a big threat to PokeShipping. Brock and Misty have also shaped Ash into the fine trainer he is today. Fan arts, fan videos etc... I've seen more of GymShipping than LuckShipping. There are hardly some LuckShipping works.Okay, I've just stated my opinions about this, and I just want to add that I don't particularly support any shippings with Brock. I only believe that GymShipping is still popular.[[User:Akatsuki_hime|Akatsuki_hime]] 06:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==Links to shippers==
Since the page is protected, some of the links, like "[[RocketShipping]]" (...relationship between Jessie and James. Thus, RocketShipping was born. ) and ShigeSato (...Satoshi (Ash) and Shigeru (Gary) would be called ShigeSato.) link directly to the shipping articles, when yet [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] prohibits this. Should these be changed? [[User:Tails0600|Tails0600]] 05:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

==Is this relevant?==
Sure this query will garner a largely negative response, but are Shipping articles really necessary or conducive to the goals and spirit of Bulbapedia? I figured Bulbapedia was about categorizing and listing all the facts pertaining to the Pokémon series of games and all spin-offs, anime, products, etc. Do fan-based pairings created in a sub-culture of the tie-in anime have enough to do with Pokémon to be relevant or edifying to the users of Bulbapedia? This seems like a weird place for fanfiction and, maybe it's just me, doesn't seem to sit right with the rest of the content on the wiki. I mean, what is shipping itself if not "representing rumors, misconceptions, or opinions as fact"? [[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 9:13, 3 June 2010
:All the shipping articles are kept away from the others <s>for fear of contamination</s> and tagged that they may contain speculation rather than cold, hard fact. It's not fanfiction. The reason we include shipping is because its a valid part of the fandom - Bulbapedia endeavours to document not just ingame statistics, but also the fandom it serves... within reason, after all. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

==Update the popular list==
We really should update the list of popular ships. I am part of one of the largest Pokemon communities, and IkariShipping is supremely popular, while no one so much as mentions LuckShipping. Also, I believe NegaiShipping should be added to the list, it's popular. {{unsigned|Chiramii}}
:And I'm part of the entire Pokémon community, far and wide. The popular list will be updated in due course. But Ikari is not being put on it.

[[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 23:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

==Negai==
Hey, I think we should add NegaiShipping (Ash <3 Iris) to the major ships, due to that all ships with ash and the main female character of the series (in this case, Best Wishes), always go to the top in popularity, or should we wait until it is a little more popular? ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 10:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

== culture differences ==
should we mention that some culture definations of what's considered shippy is little different. I know that in some cultures(like in some middle eastern ones, and chinese), supposedly close friends also hold hands. in most latin american countries, some african countries, spain, and france friends greet each other with hugs and a kiss on the check. in amercian, friends hug each other.
:Not really. Any romantic gestures will be either universal or Japanese in origin. And for the most part, the hints themselves are subjective between friendship and romantic. It's not really a cultural thing. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== Don't mean to nitpick... ==

I noticed that NegaiShipping is listed under popular ships and that sort of bewilders me. Is that just because it's a ship with Ash and a female companion? Because from what I seen, NegaiShipping is not that popular among fans. Which is a bit surprising. WishfulShipping seems to be more popular than it is despite their being more valid hints for Negai displayed in the anime for Iris. Especially among Japanese fans (of course CafeMocha out-popularizes them all lol). Let me try to prove my case with some well known sites for fan works. If you have a problem with these couplings, don't click the links.

Here are the tags for both Negai and Wishful on Pixiv. Please compare: [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%82%B5%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Negai] vs [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Wishful]

*In addition to this, I'd like to include the ships' focus groups on dA. Please compare member count: [http://negaishippers.deviantart.com/ Negai] vs [http://wishfulshipping.deviantart.com/ Wishful]

Here are Ash/Iris and Cilan/Iris stories on FanFiction.net. Please compare: [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/6297/50779/0/0/1/ Negai] vs [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/50973/50779/0/0/1/ Wishful] {{tt|*|Let it be known that some of the stories may not be shipping}}

These show that NegaiShipping is lagging in popularity when compared to WishfulShipping. I am here to suggest that WishfulShipping get added to the list as well. And no, I'm not doing this because I am a Wishful shipper. If I saw evidence that it was indeed less popular than Negai I wouldn't bring it up. But if Negai is being listed, I think Wishful should be too. And if it is indeed only being listed because it is an Ash x Female companion ship, I would suggest a removal. Ash ships should only be listed if they are indeed very popular, which Negai clearly isn't. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

:Those ships do exist. ContuckyFriedShipping and AllgrownupShipping (with Togetic), respectively. The thing is no one had made articles about them.

'''Dolce Island''' (Japanese: '''ドロップじま''' ''Drop Island'') is a location in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

It is an island located off the south coast of [[Renbow Island]] in the [[Oblivia]] region. One of the three major areas of Dolce Island is '''Southern Beach''' (Japanese: '''みなみのはまべ''' ''South Beach'') which is where the {{player}} washes up on shore after crashing into the Western Sea. North of South Beach is '''Heights''' (Japanese: '''たかだい''' ''Highgrounds'') where the player first meets Ukulele {{p|Pichu}} and [[Booker]]. Heights is home to Ukulele {{p|Pichu}} and its friends as well as being the part of Dolce Island where one of the five beacons that need to be activated later in the game is found. '''Eastern Beach''' (Japanese: '''ひがしのはまべ''' ''East Beach'') is the area closest to [[Renbow Island]]. There is a pier on this beach that is used for docking the boat that transports the player to and from the island. Later in the game, players will not be able to access the island, as the Societea launched the cannon in the [[Sky Fortress]] that shot a huge destructive blast of energy which had vaporized the entire island with a blast of energy. The Pokémon originally located here can be found on other islands in the [[Oblivia]] region afterwards, since residents of [[Cocona Village]] on Renbow Island evacuated all of the Pokémon to save them from the explosion.

After the main storyline has been completed, [[Nema]] initiates a [[quest]] which leads to her creating a model of Dolce Island where the player can find the previous boss Pokémon that can be re-battled there.

'''Oblivia''' (Japanese: '''オブリビア地方''' ''Oblivia-chihō'') is the region in which [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] takes place. This region is an archipelago composed of several islands. It has many ruins, and legends. In the past it had temples used to worship Pokémon, such as [[Arceus]]. Across Oblivia are monuments that, when lit, form the [[Ranger Sign]] for {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}. Also, in some places there are monuments that, when specific side quests are completed, reveal special signs for certain Pokémon that can join your team.

I recently made the edit about {{p|Smeargle}}'s learning {{m|Sketch}} and not being able to use it prior to the battle with the player, and after a question asked by {{u|Martonimos}} during a correction, I was wondering if anyone could think of another with an ability or move like that, and if they could mention it on either this talk or the article?

== Triggered encounters ==

Would there be any merit to having a section in this page/a new page that lists all the Pokémon that are encountered (in a battle where it can be caught) through interacting with them in the wild in some manner (as opposed to random encounters in grass, etc.)? Roaming Pokémon should not be included here, because they're just a modification to standard grass encounters, not a forceful trigger of an encounter.

Such Pokémon are: all the legendaries and Snorlax in Gen 1; Lugia/Ho-Oh and some Electrode in Gen 2; Kecleon, the golems, Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza in Gen 3, etc. Obviously I've missed several out here. Each Pokémon in the lists (one/two per Generation) is listed with their encounter levels and locations, as well as notes on how to trigger it if necessary (e.g. need the Devon Scope for Kecleon). ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 03:07, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Some of the trained Pokémon's thoughts on wild Pokémon could somehow fit onto this page, such as:
*"Some wild Pokémon frown upon others for traveling with humans. They jeer that the caught Pokémon have "forgotten" the wild. But that view is mistaken. They have just never met a Trainer who could be a great partner. A great partner like (player), in other words..."
*"Not for a moment did I think I would be traveling with a human... If my Pokémon friends were to see me now, they would be shocked. Or would they be envious of me...?"
*"Trainer is... A remarkable human and Trainer. That I can always perform the best any Pokémon possibly can...I attribute that entirely to my partner Trainer. When we travel I can see wild Pokémon eyeing us enviously..." --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 21:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

==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}}

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

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}}

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.)

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...".

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... What if Mew was the first one? I mean, Arceus could have made universe, time, space, dimentions, etc. but mew made dialga, palkia, giratina...

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.

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.

==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? [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 15:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

: It seems to me that Rankurusu's name is the word "rankless", as in, "without rank". Being the Amplification Pokémon (presumably amplifying other things), perhaps its own actual "rank" (strength, whatever) is unknown, hence the name. Alternatively, it could come from "rancorous", meaning "showing deep-seated resentment". These depend on the story behind Rankurusu, but they sound interesting enough to be true. ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 19:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

==Origin==

Rankurusu appears to be based on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade Tardigrade] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus Homunculus]. --[[User:Green Kricketune|Green Kricketune]] 22:10, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

::I think Green Kricketune is right, it's based on a Homunculus. The reason it's called "Amplification" pokemon as far as I can see, is because a Homunuculus also refers to a model of a human body where certain sensory parts, such as Hands, Ears, Mouth etc. are made larger in proportion to how sensitive they are ([http://lacalmette.midiblogs.com/media/01/01/0aa7ad714f4c9d40ea13e5d484cdb348.jpg Image]) - they are in a sense "Amplified", though I can't help wonder if the translation may be a bit off without the Psychological context. Design wise, it explains why the small body inside is fairly small, yet the gooey body is large, the hands and ears bigger than the rest of the body. The design itself is probably based on the idea that there is a small human inside eggs and sperm, hence the plasma thing it's got going on. It's almost worth mentioning that an anime called "Ghost Hound" addressed this idea too, with people having Out Of Body Experiences, where they'd fall asleep and their homunculus would emerge to float around a little dream-world - the homunculus looked like blobby/gooey/plasma-y baby type thing, with little oddly coloured organs and spheres inside the body. That's very similar to the design of Rankurusu. From this, it also seems the more likely romanisation is going to be "Ranculus" or "Lanculus" [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 13:54, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
I said that it was based on a Tardigrade for it's gelatinous structure, bear-like face in the homunculus, and it's abilities, {{a|Magic Guard}} and Dust-Proof, respectively, refer to it's adaptability and it's position as a polyextremophile. Also, thanks for the Support, N-Denizen! [[User:Green Kricketune|Green Kricketune]] 14:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
::The Tardigrade analogy is also a good one, I have to say. With the bear features, and its survival abilities, that also makes sense. A pokemon being inspired by a creature that can survive in a vacuum is very likely, too, it provides a direct analogy to its Magic Guard and Dust Proof abilities. When it curls up, it looks like Rankurusu's main body, as well. So I guess this is like...a fusion of sorts? That's pretty cool, does it explain the first part of its name, though? [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 15:52, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

== Origin ==
Reuniclus' structure resembles a water molecule, the three 'main' parts of it's being resembles a molecular structure. The large core (the body) is refering to oxygen, since oxygen is a larger atom than hydrogen. The two smaller, red orbs at the end of it's 'arms', the red orbs might symbolize the positive charged protons/hydrogen atoms. Also it's shell might refer to the electron shell that surronds molecular structures. Also a part of the name, Reuni'''clu'''s, might come from the word mole'''cul'''e. The remaining parts might be a reference to the atomic number of oxygen, 8, just like Duosion has an extra 'part' which might symbolize the atomic number of hydrogen, 1. The extra 'parts' might also resemble some other atoms, which are attracted by the chemical polarity of the atoms. Chemical polarity is a trait, that water molecules are famous for, or the electrons around the atoms. ([[User:Celebi 21|Celebi 21]] 14:10, 23 June 2011 (UTC))

== Nucleus ==

Maybe a bit weird, but is the nucleus something of the brain of a cell like Reuniclus? That said where is it in it's anatomy? Maybe it's the only pokémon with it's brain in it's arms or something like that? Please help me discouver! [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 17:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
:Do you mean the real Nucleus? A real {{wp|Cell_nucleus|Nucleus}} is the part of a cell that stores Genetic material, such as DNA. Or are you asking if Reuniclus's brain ''IS'' a nucleus? I find that highly unlikely. I think Reuniclus is just like any other living organism and is composed of billions of cells, I don't think it IS one. May be based on a cell, of course. But to say it's brain is a nucleus is a little bit of a stretch. And its head is big enough that I think it could fit a brain in there.

== Sketch ==

Question: What moves can Sketch not copy? Asking because it says almost any move. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 03:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:I don't believe Sketch can copy Selfdestruct or Explosion since a Pokémon using one of those moves would faint afterwards, either ending the battle or bringing in another opponent. Plus, Smeargle would likely need to be at a MUCH higher level in order of survive such an attack. {{unsigned|Quagbert}}
*Sketch can copy any move, as it works on moves disabled by things such as paralysis or sleep. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 03:47, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
But does it copy Struggle, Metronome, etc? [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 03:48, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Everything but Struggle. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 03:51, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Say you in a Double Battle. Your Pokemon are a Smeargle that wants to Sketch move X, and Pokemon Y that knows move X. Pokemon Y is faster than Smeargle. Pokemon Y is asleep. For Pokemon Y, you select move X. For Smeargle, you select Sketch and target Pokemon Y. Pokemon Y's turn executes: nothing happens, as it is asleep. Smeargle's turn executes: Smeargle Sketches move X as if Pokemon Y had used it. End of battle, Smeargle now knows move X. So basically, for Sketch to work, the target need only have *selected* the move-to-be-sketched, not necessarily have used it. This method works for every move except Struggle, which of course cannot be selected. This only works in Gen3, not in Gen2. --[[User:MasamuneXGP|MasamuneXGP]] 04:02, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
**Then what about Shadow Rush? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 04:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

****The shadow moves CANNOT be sketched. [[User:Pikachu25|Pikachu25]] 00:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Why is Smeargle in Breeding for the list of every move page I have checked? Is there a particular reason Sketch counts as breeding? {{unsigned|Surskitty}}
*Probably because a Sketched move can be breeded onto a baby Smeargle. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 04:00, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:It's not any more, probably because some moron took it out, regardless of the fact that Smeargle is pretty much all you need as a father for any Pokémon in the ground egg group. There's a lot of shitheads on this website who are hellbent on removing perfectly good uploads and information. Either they're just ass-burgers (most likely scenario) or they're under the thumb of the whoever pays the loot for all the advertising they show on this page (possible, but, why?) - the advertising industry pretty much corrupts any media it's dirty money comes in contact with.[[User:Iliekmudkips|Iliekmudkips]] 07:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Sketch can copy Selfdestruct and Explosion. Just be in a double battle. You must have Smeargle and something with Selfdestruct/Explosion. One opponent must have Damp. Use SD/EX. It will fail due to damp. Sketch it.

I have successfully sketched Transform in a double battle. the Smeargle must know Dig, Dive, Fly, Bounce, or Shadow Force. Have Ditto transform into Smeargle and Smeargle use 2-turn move (Ditto must be slower (Lagging tail, anyone?). Transform will fail due to lack of target. next turn, have Smeargle use Sketch on Ditto, do whatever with Ditto (except switch out). Sketch will successfully copy Transform.

Lunar Dance; Smeargle and Cresselia must be your ONLY party members. Go into 2v2 battle and use Lunar Dance. It will fail. Sketch it. I'd assume Healing Wish works similarly.

No, having the Pokemon asleep will NOT work. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 14:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, having the intended target asleep does work in [[Generation III]]. I've Sketched Transform that way myself in Ruby. Granted, they may have changed that for [[Generation IV]]...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 20:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

: Chatter is probably un-sketch-able due to audio limitations. [[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 23:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
:: That's absurd. I see that same bullshit parroted all over, but never any explanation. If it were truly a hardware issue, the move itself wouldn't work on Chatot, either (duh). Rather, it's probably to prevent the stupid situation of someone having Smeargle "learn" a chatter, only to find out that all of their other chatot's have learned what the Smeargle did (the game only saves one sound, which isn't traded with the pokemon). {{unsigned|Iliekmudkips}}

== Breed ==
If you have a male smeargle with something like Roar of time and breed him with a female Eevee could the Eevee get Roar of time? [[User:Mr.lol|Dean]]
:Yeah, I wish. Roar of Time isn't one of Eevee's TM, HM, or egg moves, therefore no. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

:Guys the trivia tricked me... Smeargle does NOT pass down egg moves. I tried to pass down moves to a Rhyhorn with my Smeargle, but it didn't do anything. I had a female Rhydon and a male Smeargle with Acientpower, Megahorn and Body Slam. I wanted to have then a Rhyhorn with Horn Attack, Acientpower, Body Slam and Megahorn, but when it was born it had only Horn Attack and Tail Whip. So I now think that Smeargle is the worst Pokemon, even than Magikarp ('cause at least Magikarp evolves).

I was able to tutor Sketch to Smeargle.
Then I took Smeargle to fight ditto. With the ditto going first, it used transform and then the smeargle used sketch.
The Smeargle learned transform from the ditto->smeargle.
Possibly unrelated, before I tutored, eh smeargle knew false swipe.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed sword]]
===Physiology===
Samurott is a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs’ bracers being the swords called [[scalchop|ashigatana]] that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the ashigatana and its handle, respectively. Samurott possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Part of the armor on its forefeet is a sword; one swing of it can beat opponents. It can silence foes with its glare alone and can dominate foes simply by howling. When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight.

===Behavior===
It glares and howls at opponents to silence and dominate them.

===Habitat===
As Samurott is amphibious, it lives by the water.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Leeku Samurott.png|thumb|right|Samurott in the anime]]

===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
A Samurott appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', under the ownership of [[Leeku]]. It fought and lost to [[Ash's Tepig]] in a tournament in [[Eindoak Town]], after Tepig received a power boost from [[Victini (movie 14)|Victini]]'s powers.

* Samurott, {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* Samurott learns the same [[move]] - [[Encore]] - twice, once at [[level]] 36 as a [[Dewott]], and once at level 38 as a Samurott
===Origin===
Samurott is based on a {{wp|sea lion}} with characteristics of a {{wp|samurai}} or {{wp|shogun}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> Samurott's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head is based on the ''{{wp|Murex altispira}}'' shell.

====Name origin====
Samurott's name comes from ''samurai'' and ''otter'' or ''water''. ''Daikenki'' seems to come from 大 ''dai'', meaning large, and 剣 ''ken'', meaning sword. Similarly 大剣 ''taiken'' also means large or long sword. The latter half of the name, ''kenki'', may also come from 剣鬼 – a word used to refer to a very skilled swordsman, literally meaning ''sword-wielding demon''. The 大 ''dai'' in Daikenki may imply a lineage within its final evolutionary line, with Samurott being the eldest of the brothers.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed sword]]
===Physiology===
Samurott is a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs’ bracers being the swords called [[scalchop|ashigatana]] that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the ashigatana and its handle, respectively. Samurott possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Part of the armor on its forefeet is a sword; one swing of it can beat opponents. It can silence foes with its glare alone and can dominate foes simply by howling. When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight.

===Behavior===
It glares and howls at opponents to silence and dominate them.

===Habitat===
As Samurott is amphibious, it lives by the water.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Leeku Samurott.png|thumb|right|Samurott in the anime]]

===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
A Samurott appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', under the ownership of [[Leeku]]. It fought and lost to [[Ash's Tepig]] in a tournament in [[Eindoak Town]], after Tepig received a power boost from [[Victini (movie 14)|Victini]]'s powers.

Talk:Beheeyem (Pokémon)

2012-02-04T00:12:12Z

Slowbro: /* Name origin */

==Disguise==

I am not the only one who thinks this, but it appears Oobemu is wearing shades, a trenchcoat, and a large hat, akin to an alien trying to disguise itself among humans like the martian manhunter did in Justice League: The New Frontier, among other sci-fi stories. It does fit in with its origins and characteristics and I do believe should be added to the Trivia or Physiology or whatever. Again, many other people do agree with this. --[[User:Ryuutakeshi|Ryuutakeshi]] 02:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:I can definitely see the resemblance. Good eye, didn't notice it before. :0 [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 02:19, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that Beheeyem have a heavy correlation with the Men in Black, due to its appearance, use of powers to manipulate memories, and its alien origins. One of the theories surrounding these mysterious men is that they could be aliens who police the earth and cover up alien encounters.
--[[User:Oleandervine|Oleandervine]] 19:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

==Druids?==
It seems to me that Oobemu's apperance very much resembles traditional druid robes. I just thought I would bring it up because we mentiond the stone circles (wich are used in some druid traditions). What do you think?--'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 18:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

==Disguise==

I am not the only one who thinks this, but it appears Oobemu is wearing shades, a trenchcoat, and a large hat, akin to an alien trying to disguise itself among humans like the martian manhunter did in Justice League: The New Frontier, among other sci-fi stories. It does fit in with its origins and characteristics and I do believe should be added to the Trivia or Physiology or whatever. Again, many other people do agree with this. --[[User:Ryuutakeshi|Ryuutakeshi]] 02:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that Beheeyem have a heavy correlation with the Men in Black, due to its appearance, use of powers to manipulate memories, and its alien origins.

Ah, so that's what's up. I didn't think it was like you guys to goof on a romanization. Still, trademarked or not, it's not correct. I guess just so long as you have enough alternate spellings forwarding to the main article, I don't care.--[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 19:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

== Attacks - Unconfirmed and Likely to be fake ==

The Attacks of new Pokémon were reported on the Blue SkY Blog, right.
It first reported the names of new starters (it was real information). But it recently became infamous of posting FAKE informations. One of them first leader's name, Zack. He was revealed to be named Hyouta few days. And second is three fake Pokémon Names (Marsula, Garinan, Samusamu). There is no sign about these Pokémon and one of the infamous Fake Pokémon was named "Samu" (only two final characters of the name can be seen). So, the most recent informations on this blog are likely to be fake. And they're still unconfirmed. So, they should be removed from Bulbapedia until official announce of the attacks (It will prove if they're real or fake).

Sorry for bad grammar (I am not native english speaker) - Maxim

== Should this have been moved from Pochama? ==

Serebii even says he's not sure, and that it conflicts with other merchandise, and everything still says Pochama anyway... [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 22:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

::Serebii also said that about {{p|Spinx}}. Personally, I think Piplup is more accurate than Pochama, because I can't really see any reason why it should keep its Japanese name. For now, I think the pages should be left as is until more information is received. Besides, the pages can always be moved back. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type2|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Samurott}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage, called a "[[scalchop]]", can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the [[scalchop]] on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different things, such as a acting like a sword, shield, and boomerang.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation. When eating, Oshawott uses its forepaws to move food to its mouth. (rather than going down on all fours to eat it)

===Habitat===
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to be based on a mammal.
* Oshawott is the only [[starter Pokémon]] whose name begins with a vowel, discounting {{p|Eevee}}.
* Oshawott and its evolutions are the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that are not in any of the Water [[egg group]]s, being exclusive to the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott, along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yield]], with a base of 28.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.{{fact}}
* Oshawott, along with the other two {{2v2|Black|White}} [[starter Pokémon]], are the only starter Pokémon to evolve at an odd number: 17.
* Oshawott was originally named "Wotter" by American fans.
===Origin===
Oshawott is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref>. The shell on its stomach seem similar to {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s.

====Name origin====
Oshawott possibly derives from "ocean", "shell", "water" and "otter"; it may be a corruption of "ocean water". The "osha" part could be a corruption of "O-shaped", given that its Japanese name contains "maru", meaning round. It might make reference to the {{wp|Canada|Canadian}} city of {{wp|Oshawa}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside. It could also make reference to {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan. Its Japanese name may be derived from 水 ''mizu'' meaning water, or 未熟 ''mijuku'' meaning naive or immature, and 丸 ''maru'' meaning round. "-maru" is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. The syllable "mi" in its name, meaning "three" or "third", may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line with Mijumaru being third in line.

'''James''' (Japanese: '''コジロウ''' ''Kojirō'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically the [[Team Rocket trio]] that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:James BW.png|left|thumb|150px|Art from episodes [[BW001]] - [[BW022]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
An only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class. At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point but he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind. He attempted to enroll in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, and flunked out; as did his new friend [[Jessie]]. Then, with Jessie, he joined the [[Sunny Town]] bicycle gang, where he was popular for being the only gang member to have to use training wheels (nicknamed "Trainer Jim"). Eventually James, Jessie, and the bike gang went their separate ways.

Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.
[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''|220px]]
Surprisingly, James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]] among other things, making him almost something of a "Jack of all Trades". It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child, but this is not known for sure.

[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by his parents, who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.

[[File:James disguised as Juan.png|200px|thumb|right|James disguised as [[Juan]].]]
James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]]'s and [[Officer Jenny]]'s. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

For unknown reasons, he, Jessie and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation. However in newer episodes the balloon is shown with 'jets' attached to explain how they get from one place to another faster than walking.

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. Recently, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in his work, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape, such as a smoke curtain, and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the two, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he sees that their presence in the region will force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type2|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, and {{p|Carnivine}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'' when he had to release [[James's Weezing|his Weezing]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching their Boss.

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]
* James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone.
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]], and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
*He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.
* Excluding Victreebel, James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

'''Drifloon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フワンテ''' ''Fuwante'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Drifblim}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Fantina Drifloon.png|thumb|left|Drifloon's mouth, in the middle of the ''X'']]
Drifloon has a round, purple body with two stringy arms that have a yellow heart-shape on them. Drifloon has black-dot eyes and a yellow "X" on its face; as Drifloon may be interpreted as the ghosts of popped balloons, this "X" may be two pieces of tape intended to cover the hole that would have caused the balloon to deflate. A white mass of fluff sits on top of Drifloon's head, which looks like a cloud.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Drifloon and its evolution {{p|Drifblim}} have the signature [[ability]], {{a|Unburden}}, which doubles Speed when the Pokémon's hold item is lost. This could possibly be a reference to how real balloons may not float if weighed down, and once whatever was holding it is gone, it floats away. It may also refer to the ballasts of hot air balloons.

===Behavior===
Drifloon usually try to grab children in attempts to bring them to the {{wp|underworld}}, but these attempts always end up with the Drifloon getting swung around. Being filled with air lets Drifloon either expand or shrink to express its feelings.

===Habitat===
Drifloon drifts into (and presumably lives around) the area of [[Valley Windworks]], and prefers damp weather.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Drifloon anime.png|thumb|210px|Drifloon in the anime]]
Drifloon first appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind!]]'', where many were the friends of two young [[Nurse Joy|Joys]].

Drifloon also appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

One also appeared in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', belonging to [[Kylie]].

A Drifloon appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

[[Fantina]] appeared with her Drifloon in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', and it evolved into [[Fantina's Drifblim|Drifblim]] while battling [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the episode.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|DP028|Drifloon|Dawn's Pokédex|Drifloon, the Balloon Pokémon. Drifloon is filled with air and can either expand or shrink to express its feelings. It also likes damp weather.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
It appeared in the {{pkmn|manga}} Diamond and Pearl when the trio were in [[Valley Windworks]] as a friend of the worker there.

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

==Other appearances==

In the {{st|Pokémon Stadium 2}} stage, a Drifloon can be seen floating on the {{t|Flying}} Terrain.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Balloon Pokémon that appears each Friday at the Valley Windworks in the Sinnoh region. It's round and cute, but it has a dreadful side too, as it attempts to drag children into the underworld by their hands. It likes damp, humid seasons. If it's on the verge of fainting in battle, it will counterattack by self-destructing. It evolves into Drifblim."''

==Trivia==
*Drifloon is one of the few Pokémon allowed in [[Amity Square]].
*Drifloon is the first Generation IV Pokémon to be shown in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
*In the Japanese version of Pearl's Pokédex entry, Drifloon specifically take children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. However, in the US release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the description along with Drifloon's trophy still states that it is "taking children to the underworld".
*Drifloon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s evolutionary family and {{p|Qwilfish}}. They are all known as Balloon Pokémon.
**However Drifloon is the only of them that actually resembles a balloon.
* One Drifloon is available each {{DL|Days of the week|Friday}} in Sinnoh, in the same way that {{p|Lapras}} is available in [[Union Cave]] in Johto and [[Musharna]] in [[Unova]].
** If the player stays in [[Valley Windworks]], Drifloon will not leave even when it is past Friday as long as the player stays in the area.
* Drifloon is one of six Pokémon that have an immunity to three different types, the other five being {{p|Drifblim}}, {{p|Sableye}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Golett}} and {{p|Golurk}}, all five of which are part Ghost type.

* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if Team Galactic is defeated in the [[Valley Windworks]] on a Friday, players have to wait until the next Friday for Drifloon to appear.

===Origin===
Drifloon are based on {{wp|balloons}}.

===Name origin===
Drifloon's name is a combination of ''drift'' and ''balloon''. Its Japanese name, Fuwante, may be derived from ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'', meaning soft, fluffy, and light, or an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for floating, and 風船 ''fūsen'', balloon.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}, with close to the same body color as it. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its {{p|Gabite|previous evolution}}. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}}-colored {{wp|iris|irises}}. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{m|Fly}} and cannot possess {{a|Levitate}}, it can still fly at an incredible speed – helped by the fine scales on its body that reduce drag – to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries, as well as its species name.
[[Image:Garchomp Gliding.png|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Behavior===
Judging from its pre-evolution and Pokédex entries, they are territorial creatures and ferocious predators that will not hesitate to lash out at intruders nor will they allow its prey to escape.

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers, but they are seldom seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Garchomp in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games, is a Garchomp. It first appeared by her side in ''[[PS347|VS. Roserade]]'', when she came across {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} training for the Gym match with [[Gardenia]]. It later reappeared when she met the trio again in ''[[PS367|VS. Psyduck]]'', where it raced with its trainer to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a herd of {{p|Psyduck}} was blocking the way to [[Celestic Town]]. After Cynthia left to return a Psyduck that was separated from its owner by [[Team Galactic]], Garchomp was left behind so that it may protect her grandmother and the three children. When [[Cyrus]] invades the {{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}, it was instructed well enough to fight even without its Trainer, but was easily exploited by the megalomaniac.

==Trivia==
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, {{p|Pidgeot}} has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}} or even possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Air Slash}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] has no notch in its fin, it is referred to as male.
* Garchomp has notable similarities to [[p|Latios]], from color to origin, with both being based on a [[wp|Jet]]

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearance of a {{wp|jet}}.

====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp, or is more likely a corruption of ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'' (the scientific name for sharks) or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}'', a genus of sand shark. ''Gar-'' may also be a corruption of ''guard''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', earth, or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}''.

'''Armaldo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーマルド''' ''Armaldo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} [[fossil]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].

==Biology==
Armaldo is a fossilized, prehistoric Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from an {{p|Anorith}} resurrected from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].

===Physiology===
Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious Pokémon, somewhat resembling a {{wp|mantis shrimp}} and covered with thick, heavy-duty plates.

It is mainly colored blue, with accents of yellow, black, white and red. Additionally, Armaldo’s eyes, like its pre-evolution, extend from the sides of its head. However, they are not beady and instead oblong in shape. Armaldo also retains the black pattern on its head present in its pre-evolution. Armaldo has a long neck, with the lobes that were present on the sides of Anorith’s body there, although there are now three pairs instead of four. Armaldo has a yellow lower jaw, and a continuation of the yellow coloration on the rims of the armor on its underside. The yellow patterning encircles the holes on the armor of the underside out of which Armaldo’s blue-and-black-tipped, segmented blade-like arms extend. The yellow rim on the shell underside culminates on Armaldo’s lower belly, although there is also yellow rimming on the fin-like, triangular "wings" on Armaldo’s sides. Armaldo’s legs are thick, with black-colored knees and two toes. Armaldo’s long tail is similar to that of Lugia’s in shape, although blue with black fins.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Armaldo's claws have the power to punch through a steel slab. Armaldo's claws can also be freely extended or contracted, Armaldo is encased in a sturdy body, so attacks will only bounce off harmlessly. Armaldo has access to a variety of claw-based moves such as {{m|X-Scissor}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Slash}} etc. Since Armaldo is fully evolved, it is capable of learning powerful moves such as {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
When bothered, Armaldo responds with powerful attacks. It calms itself down afterwards by eating good food. An amphibious Pokémon, it usually lives on land. However, when it hunts for prey, it dives beneath the ocean.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Armaldo is unknown, but so far [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossils]] are only found in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Nando Armaldo.png|250px|thumb|right|Armaldo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Armaldo made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Armaldo premiered in a movie that was shown in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. Its role in the movie was defending a castle where a {{p|Kirlia}} princess was held captive.

Along with several other prehistoric Pokémon, Armaldo made an appearance in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''.

Another Armaldo appeared in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''.

Another Armaldo appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', under the ownership of [[Nando]]. It faced [[Ash's Quilava]] in a battle, drawing with it.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG102|Armaldo|Ash's Pokédex|Armaldo, the Plate Pokémon. Armaldo can withstand any attack with its hard shell. It is thought to have been able to break even stones with its powerful claws.}}

==In the manga==

An Armaldo is seen under [[Mack]]'s ownership, which he apparently uses to {{m|Surf}} around (and dive to save [[Tabitha]]), despite Armaldo not being capable of using the moves.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: An Armaldo serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} while he was still an {{p|Igglybuff}}. Initially reluctant due to Igglybuff's devil-may-care attitude, he takes him on as an apprentice after sensing a powerful intuition from the baby Pokémon, and eventually grows close to the young child. He tends to lampshade many RPG staples, such as traps and bosses, but is just as easily fooled by them. Armaldo is in fact an outlaw, and is caught after clearing the [[Fortune Ravine]]. Igglybuff protests wildly, and is about to unleash a powerful {{m|Hyper Voice}} (the first show of his infamous temper), until Armaldo calms him down and explains the situation; he gives the still-protesting Igglybuff a Defend Globe (the first treasure the pair found on their first adventure) as a gift to remember him by, and willingly gives himself up to the authorities. This story serves as the backdrop for the second special episode, ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''.

==Trivia==
* Armaldo and its pre-evolution, {{p|Anorith}}, are the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon with genders that are not in the {{egg|Bug}} egg group.
* Armaldo cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}}, despite its {{v2|Emerald}} [[Pokédex]] entry, its presence in the {{egg3|Water 3}}, the fact that it's seen swimming with someone on its back on the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, its location in [[Pal Park]], and certain Trainers with Armaldo that know {{m|Surf}}. Furthermore, in each Mystery Dungeon, Armaldo cannot naturally move over water while its pre-evolution Anorith can.
* Armaldo, its pre-evolution {{p|Anorith}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Castform}} are the only non-Water-type Pokémon which learn {{m|Water Gun}} by leveling up.
** Although Armaldo and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon of the above that cannot become a Water-type.
* Armaldo and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon to have the ability {{a|Swift Swim}} that are also weak to the Water-type.
*Armaldo is the only [[Pokémon]] who's [[Generation 4]] sprites are the same as the [[Generation 3]] sprites.
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon the ''{{wp|Anomalocaris}}'', although it shares some physical traits with dinosaurs.

====Name origin====
Armaldo's name possibly originated from a corruption of ''armor''; however, it could also be a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|armadillo}}''.

Talk:Mass outbreak

Slowbro: /* Outbreak triggers in RSE */

==Outbreak==
Isn't this called swarming in the games? [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 09:55, 22 January 2006 (CST)

I think it was called that in the Gen II games, but then a trainer you exchanged phone numbers with would call you to tell you the good news :/ [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 06:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, I think the same... swarms DO exist in previous games, althought not in the same way they do in D/P. My cousin, who has Sapphire mixed records with my brother (who has Ruby) and then a TV report was saying that there was a {{p|Seedot}} swarm on {{rt|114}}, which obviously was strange, cause Seedot can't be caught in Sapphire. I think there should be info added on this too. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

::Actually, this happened to me too. You're the first one, excluding me of course, who I know having a Seedot swarm. This happened to me, though, without any recent link cable activity. [[User:UltimateSephiroth|UltimateSephiroth]] 12:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

==HGSS==
I was going crazy looking for something that would tell me how to get the swarms in HeartGold and SoulSilver... Finally, I went to Serebii.net where it said that by going to Pokemon Talk radio channel it would tell me what swarms were happening and where. Is this correct? shouldn't it have this info on here..?--[[User:Moretacos|Moretacos]] 17:46, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, that is correct, and yes, it should be in the article. It is mentioned in the radio section of the Pokégear article, but unless you are just searching you wouldn't find that. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== Black and White outbreak ==

I don't have much data yet, but it seemed that outbreak Pokémon do not appear in dark grass patches.

Can't confirm the above, since so far it has been in sand for me ( route 4 ) But I will confirm probably 15-55 for levels. I got ( in order ) levels of 35,16,24,19,51
([[User:Chromehawk|Chromehawk]] 07:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC))

==Outbreak triggers in RSE==
Does anyone know what triggers an outbreak in RSE? I got a notice of one in Emerald (Skitty, which I already had *groan*) right after defeating the Elite Four, but I haven't had another notice of one since, in over a week. I want Surskit! Do you have to be playing at a specific time of day and check a TV at the right time? [[User:Pdf23ds|Pdf23ds]] 18:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
:I think it's just because you're unlucky. Have you been playing it often, because RSE relies on its own game clock iirc. It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 18:19, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
::You have to [[Mix records]] with [[Ruby & Sapphire]]. [[User: Slaking|Slowbro]]

== List Order ==

Do these lists ''need'' to be in Pokédex order? I would think it would be much more useful to have them in order by route number, as you're much more likely to be looking up "the game's telling me where something's swarming, but not what" than "where is a particular thing swarming, if today should happen to be the day I'm looking for it". I tried adding a <code>class="sortable"</code> to the table, but that didn't sort it correctly (probably because of all the templates?). Anyways, just wondering what the most useful order for each list would be. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 04:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:Order on Bulbapedia is ''always'' National Dex unless there's a valid reason otherwise. And by route number would just be arbitrary. No one searches for the Pokémon they can find by mass outbreak by where they're found, they search what Pokémon they wanna find first. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, I do tend to check by route number. I'd rather see if the Pokémon swarming currently is one I need, resetting only if it isn't, than resetting until I get a specific Pokémon, for which I only have a 1/18 chance (in B/W; the chance is even lower in Gen. IV games). Route number would also assist by grouping version-differing swarms, making it easier to tell which Pokémon correspond. So no, I don't think it's "arbitrary". --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

: I personally agree with Andy here -- listing them by National Dex order '''looks arbitrary''', mainly because the National Dex numbers are '''not displayed''' inside the table. When the table isn't sorted by any of its visible columns, the viewer's first impression will be that it's not sorted ''whatsoever''. We should at least be listing the National Dex numbers as part of the table.....

: Now me, I've caught most of the outbreak Pokémon on my White version by now (with exception of I think Routes 13 and 14); since there are only a few routes left to check, any time I see a message on an outbreak I have to ask myself "have I done that one yet?" before deciding whether it's worth checking out. I probably missed catching Shuppet a few times because I could've sworn I had already checked Route 13.

: But back on topic: Everything above given, this would become a moot point if we just add those convenient sorting buttons already present on most other Pokémon listings tables; then the end viewer could dynamically sort the table by whatever order is convenient to them, with no further changes to the actual article required. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 06:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)''

::PS: Hey, that actually wasn't too difficult. It's certainly not perfect (route numbers lack natural-sort order), but it's definitely an improvement. :) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC)''

==Save/Reset Question==

WHEN does the swarm get reset between saves in B/W?
Can you save AFTER you play but BEFORE you check the swarm--
and if you do, will it still change?
In other words, here's my sitch from this morning:
I saved in Icirrus last night but wanted to swarm check before doing anything else. So I had to fly to Opelucid to the nearest Guard Station to check the board. *IF* I had opened the game and flown to Opelucid, *SAVED* in Opelucid BEFORE checking the board, THEN checked, would the swarm still have changed with each soft reset thereafter or would I have to wait 'til tomorrow?
Any help with this matter is *greatly* appreciated!
[[User:ArtemiSerebii|ArtemiSerebii]] 08:28 AM (EDT) May 6th, 2011
:Now comments to the bottom please. I assume that it will be like Gen IV, where it is selected some time prior to the change of date, such that neither soft resetting nor changing the DS clock will change the swarming Pokémon. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:55, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, any sort of reset will work, provided you have not already saved on that date. I've taken advantage of this multiple times. If you save after the date changes, though, even if you haven't yet inspected a board, the swarming Pokémon will be set in stone. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 14:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

== List Order ==

Do these lists ''need'' to be in Pokédex order? I would think it would be much more useful to have them in order by route number, as you're much more likely to be looking up "the game's telling me where something's swarming, but not what" than "where is a particular thing swarming, if today should happen to be the day I'm looking for it". I tried adding a <code>class="sortable"</code> to the table, but that didn't sort it correctly (probably because of all the templates?). Anyways, just wondering what the most useful order for each list would be. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 04:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:Order on Bulbapedia is ''always'' National Dex unless there's a valid reason otherwise. And by route number would just be arbitrary. No one searches for the Pokémon they can find by mass outbreak by where they're found, they search what Pokémon they wanna find first. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, I do tend to check by route number. I'd rather see if the Pokémon swarming currently is one I need, resetting only if it isn't, than resetting until I get a specific Pokémon, for which I only have a 1/18 chance (in B/W; the chance is even lower in Gen. IV games). Route number would also assist by grouping version-differing swarms, making it easier to tell which Pokémon correspond. So no, I don't think it's "arbitrary". --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

: I personally agree with Andy here -- listing them by National Dex order '''looks arbitrary''', mainly because the National Dex numbers are '''not displayed''' inside the table. When the table isn't sorted by any of its visible columns, the viewer's first impression will be that it's not sorted ''whatsoever''. We should at least be listing the National Dex numbers as part of the table.....

: Now me, I've caught most of the outbreak Pokémon on my White version by now (with exception of I think Routes 13 and 14); since there are only a few routes left to check, any time I see a message on an outbreak I have to ask myself "have I done that one yet?" before deciding whether it's worth checking out. I probably missed catching Shuppet a few times because I could've sworn I had already checked Route 13.

: But back on topic: Everything above given, this would become a moot point if we just add those convenient sorting buttons already present on most other Pokémon listings tables; then the end viewer could dynamically sort the table by whatever order is convenient to them, with no further changes to the actual article required. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 06:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)''

==Save/Reset Question==

WHEN does the swarm get reset between saves in B/W?
Can you save AFTER you play but BEFORE you check the swarm--
and if you do, will it still change?
In other words, here's my sitch from this morning:
I saved in Icirrus last night but wanted to swarm check before doing anything else. So I had to fly to Opelucid to the nearest Guard Station to check the board. *IF* I had opened the game and flown to Opelucid, *SAVED* in Opelucid BEFORE checking the board, THEN checked, would the swarm still have changed with each soft reset thereafter or would I have to wait 'til tomorrow?
Any help with this matter is *greatly* appreciated!

:Order on Bulbapedia is ''always'' National Dex unless there's a valid reason otherwise. And by route number would just be arbitrary. No one searches for the Pokémon they can find by mass outbreak by where they're found, they search what Pokémon they wanna find first. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, I do tend to check by route number. I'd rather see if the Pokémon swarming currently is one I need, resetting only if it isn't, than resetting until I get a specific Pokémon, for which I only have a 1/18 chance (in B/W; the chance is even lower in Gen. IV games). Route number would also assist by grouping version-differing swarms, making it easier to tell which Pokémon correspond. So no, I don't think it's "arbitrary". --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

: I personally agree with Andy here -- listing them by National Dex order '''looks arbitrary''', mainly because the National Dex numbers are '''not displayed''' inside the table. When the table isn't sorted by any of its visible columns, the viewer's first impression will be that it's not sorted ''whatsoever''. We should at least be listing the National Dex numbers as part of the table.....

: Now me, I've caught most of the outbreak Pokémon on my White version by now (with exception of I think Routes 13 and 14); since there are only a few routes left to check, any time I see a message on an outbreak I have to ask myself "have I done that one yet?" before deciding whether it's worth checking out. I probably missed catching Shuppet a few times because I could've sworn I had already checked Route 13.

: But back on topic: Everything above given, this would become a moot point if we just add those convenient sorting buttons already present on most other Pokémon listings tables; then the end viewer could dynamically sort the table by whatever order is convenient to them, with no further changes to the actual article required. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 06:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)''

::PS: Hey, that actually wasn't too difficult. It's certainly not perfect (route numbers lack natural-sort order), but it's definitely an improvement. :) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:07, 7 May 2011 (UTC)''

==Save/Reset Question==

WHEN does the swarm get reset between saves in B/W?
Can you save AFTER you play but BEFORE you check the swarm--
and if you do, will it still change?
In other words, here's my sitch from this morning:
I saved in Icirrus last night but wanted to swarm check before doing anything else. So I had to fly to Opelucid to the nearest Guard Station to check the board. *IF* I had opened the game and flown to Opelucid, *SAVED* in Opelucid BEFORE checking the board, THEN checked, would the swarm still have changed with each soft reset thereafter or would I have to wait 'til tomorrow?
Any help with this matter is *greatly* appreciated!
[[User:ArtemiSerebii|ArtemiSerebii]] 08:28 AM (EDT) May 6th, 2011
:Now comments to the bottom please. I assume that it will be like Gen IV, where it is selected some time prior to the change of date, such that neither soft resetting nor changing the DS clock will change the swarming Pokémon. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:55, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, any sort of reset will work, provided you have not already saved on that date. I've taken advantage of this multiple times. If you save after the date changes, though, even if you haven't yet inspected a board, the swarming Pokémon will be set in stone. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 14:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

== Rustling Grass ==

Do swarming Pokémon appear in rustling grass? [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 01:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Crunch}}, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

===Behavior===
Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]]. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Snubbull wander around urban areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Madame Muchmoney Snubbull.png|right|thumb|Snubbull in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' Snubbull is the leader of the group that fights against {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. This appearance made it one of the first few [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

During the early Johto saga, beginning in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} with ribbons chased [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} and tried to {{m|bite}} his tail. She followed Meowth until evolving in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', and then returned home.

===Minor appearances===
A Snubbull appeared in Jessie's fantasy, in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby!]]''.

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Crunch}}, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

===Behavior===
Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]]. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Snubbull wander around urban areas.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Madame Muchmoney Snubbull.png|right|thumb|Snubbull in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

During the early Johto saga, beginning in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}} with ribbons, chased [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} and tried to {{m|bite}} his tail. She followed Meowth until evolving in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', and then returned home.

===Minor appearances===
A Snubbull appeared in Jessie's fantasy, in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby!]]''.

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Crunch}}, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

===Behavior===
Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]]. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Snubbull wander around urban areas.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Madame Muchmoney Snubbull.png|right|thumb|Snubbull in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' Snubbull is the leader of the group that fights against {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. This appearance made it one of the first few [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

During the early Johto saga, beginning in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Snubbull}}, a Snubbull with ribbons chased [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} and tried to {{m|bite}} his tail. She followed Meowth until evolving in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', and then returned home.

===Minor appearances===
A Snubbull appeared in Jessie's fantasy, in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby!]]''.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}, with close to the same body color as it. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its {{p|Gabite|previous evolution}}. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}}-colored {{wp|iris|irises}}. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{m|Fly}} and cannot possess {{a|Levitate}}, it can still fly at an incredible speed – helped by the fine scales on its body that reduce drag – to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries, as well as its species name.
[[Image:Garchomp Gliding.png|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Behavior===
Judging from its pre-evolution and Pokédex entries, they are territorial creatures and ferocious predators that will not hesitate to lash out at intruders nor will they allow its prey to escape.

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers, but they are seldom seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]====
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in "[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]". She appeared again in "[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]", "[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]", "[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]", "[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]", "[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss]]", and appearing briefly in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A female Garchomp is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in "[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]".

A Garchomp appeared in the opening scenes of "[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]".

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP040|Garchomp|Ash's Pokédex|Garchomp, the Mach Pokémon. When it folds up its body and spreads its wings, it can {{m|fly}} like a jet plane at the speed of sound.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Garchomp in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games, is a Garchomp. It first appeared by her side in ''[[PS347|VS. Roserade]]'', when she came across {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} training for the Gym match with [[Gardenia]]. It later reappeared when she met the trio again in ''[[PS367|VS. Psyduck]]'', where it raced with its trainer to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a herd of {{p|Psyduck}} was blocking the way to [[Celestic Town]]. After Cynthia left to return a Psyduck that was separated from its owner by [[Team Galactic]], Garchomp was left behind so that it may protect her grandmother and the three children. When [[Cyrus]] invades the {{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}, it was instructed well enough to fight even without its Trainer, but was easily exploited by the megalomaniac.

==Trivia==
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, {{p|Pidgeot}} has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}} or even possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Air Slash}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] has no notch in its fin, it is referred to as male.
* Garchomp is notably similar to [[p|Latios]] from color to origin, with both being based on a {{wp|jet}}.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearance of a {{wp|jet}}.

====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp, or is more likely a corruption of ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'' (the scientific name for sharks) or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}'', a genus of sand shark. ''Gar-'' may also be a corruption of ''guard''. Gar- may also reference {{wp|alligator gar}}. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', earth, or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}''.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}, with close to the same body color as it. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its {{p|Gabite|previous evolution}}. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}}-colored {{wp|iris|irises}}. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{m|Fly}} and cannot possess {{a|Levitate}}, it can still fly at an incredible speed – helped by the fine scales on its body that reduce drag – to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries, as well as its species name.
[[Image:Garchomp Gliding.png|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Behavior===
Judging from its pre-evolution and Pokédex entries, they are territorial creatures and ferocious predators that will not hesitate to lash out at intruders nor will they allow its prey to escape.

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers, but they are seldom seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]====
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in "[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]". She appeared again in "[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]", "[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]", "[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]", "[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]", "[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss]]", and appearing briefly in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A female Garchomp is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in "[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]".

A Garchomp appeared in the opening scenes of "[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]".

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP040|Garchomp|Ash's Pokédex|Garchomp, the Mach Pokémon. When it folds up its body and spreads its wings, it can {{m|fly}} like a jet plane at the speed of sound.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Garchomp in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games, is a Garchomp. It first appeared by her side in ''[[PS347|VS. Roserade]]'', when she came across {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} training for the Gym match with [[Gardenia]]. It later reappeared when she met the trio again in ''[[PS367|VS. Psyduck]]'', where it raced with its trainer to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a herd of {{p|Psyduck}} was blocking the way to [[Celestic Town]]. After Cynthia left to return a Psyduck that was separated from its owner by [[Team Galactic]], Garchomp was left behind so that it may protect her grandmother and the three children. When [[Cyrus]] invades the {{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}, it was instructed well enough to fight even without its Trainer, but was easily exploited by the megalomaniac.

==Trivia==
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, {{p|Pidgeot}} has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}} or even possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Air Slash}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] has no notch in its fin, it is referred to as male.
* Garchomp is notably similar to [[p|Latios]] from color to origin, with both being based on a {{wp|jet}}.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearance of a {{wp|jet}}.

====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp, or is more likely a corruption of ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'' (the scientific name for sharks) or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}'', a genus of sand shark. ''Gar-'' may also be a corruption of ''guard''. Gar- may also reference {{wp|alligator gar}}. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', earth, or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}''.
