==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
===Forty years ago===

A young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named [[Sam]] is traveling through the woods one day. A young woman named [[Towa]] gives Sam a piece of bread and a warning: that there is a rare and powerful Pokémon living in the forest. Sam thanks her for the bread and continues into the deep woods, where he begins sketching some {{p|Bellossom}}, unaware that elsewhere in the same forest, a {{p|Celebi}} is being chased down by a [[Pokémon Hunter]] who wishes to capture it using his {{p|Scyther}} and his {{p|Houndoom}}. Celebi, the Hunter, and Sam soon come in contact with one another, and Sam protects the Celebi from the man, who reveals himself to be a poacher of rare Pokémon. Celebi is still worried and in pain, however, and teleports both itself and Sam into the future.

===Present day===

In a caravan by the forest the same Pokémon poacher, now aged, is in a confrontation with the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], a member of [[Team Rocket]]. It is here that the Iron-Masked Marauder demonstrates a [[Dark Ball]], using it on one of the Pokémon the poacher has caged up, a {{p|Tyranitar}}. Using the now {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Dark}} Tyranitar's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the Iron-Masked Marauder destroys the ranch, and apparently the cages, of the poacher. Finally convinced of the Rocket member's power, the poacher agrees to tell him where exactly the Celebi he had seen was sighted forty years before.

At the same time, in a nearby town, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} are waiting for {{Ash}} to arrive at the dock of one of the many ferries they've taken across the waterways of the regions. Brock sends out his {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} to find Ash and tell him that it's just about time for them to leave, just as Ash starts a [[Pokémon battle]] with another Trainer, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against the Trainer's {{p|Croconaw}}. Pikachu defeats Croconaw easily, just as Crobat shows up, and Ash and Pikachu make a run for the dock, arriving just in time to see the ferry begin to pull away. Ash runs for a dock nearer to where the ferry is, jumping for it and being caught by [[Mr. White]], the boat's owner. After being dragged on board, the Trainers and owner talk Pokémon.

It is during this that {{AP|Pikachu}} sees another Pokémon in the forest, {{p|Suicune}}. As soon as they arrive at their next destination, Ash makes a call to Professor Oak, who explains to them from Ash's description that it indeed was a Suicune. From the description {{an|Professor Oak}} gives the young Trainers, it seems that Oak himself knows more about Suicune specifically than the experts, leading Ash to ask if he ever has seen one. The Professor replies affirmatively, and Ash asks where he did. Before Oak can reply, the ferry's owner calls for Ash, telling him that they must leave. Ash says goodbye quickly, and goes with him.

Ash continues on the water, this time in a different boat, through a deep forest, and, as always, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are watching. This time, their preferred mode of transport is seemingly a giant pink paper airplane, the propeller in the back of which is operated by the pedaling of the Rocket trio. However, Jessie stops pedaling for a moment, leaving the contraption underpowered and susceptible to the wind, which is exactly what catches it. Team Rocket is sent flying, far into the distance, leaving their trademark star in the sky.

Meanwhile, Ash, as well as the others, have reached a waterfall along the river. Unable to {{m|Waterfall|climb it}}, Misty asks what they'll do. Mr. White responds with a quick transformation of his craft, turning it from a boat into a small blimp in a matter of seconds, and floating up, over the waterfall, and into [[Arborville]] which a small town comprising entirely of tree-houses, where he lets the trainers off.

They continue on, arriving at the same place that Sam did forty years before and are asked by Towa, who has now aged considerably, if they're going to be going into the forest to look for Pokémon. Ash replies that he will and soon the old woman's granddaughter, Diana, shows up, who Brock promptly hits on. Ash ignores Towa's advice, running headlong into the forest, leaving Misty to pull Brock away from Diana, as she always does.

As soon as the trio has gotten into the deep woods, the trees begin to glow blue, something that happened just before Celebi vanished into the future with Sam. At the same place he vanished from, in front of Celebi's shrine, Sam reappears just as Ash, Misty and Brock run up, with Celebi in his arms. Celebi floats away before the three can see it. Sam is unconscious and Ash, worried about him, decides to take him back to Towa's house.

As soon as the four return, Sam wakes up, pushing Ash away and demanding where Celebi has gone. Before there can be a fight between Ash and Sam, Brock is able to break it up. Towa suddenly recognizes recognizes Sam, and she brings everyone inside to explain what happened. Since Sam disappeared 40 years before, she had been keeping his sketchbook, and returns it to him explaining to him just how long he'd been gone.

Sam vows to return to where he reappeared and find Celebi to help it, and Ash, Misty, and Brock agree to go with him.

Soon, traveling in the forest, the four see the destruction wreaked by the Iron-Masked Marauder's giant mech, and Sam and Ash find where Celebi is hiding. However, the Time Travel Pokémon appears not to want their help, sending out a {{m|Vine Whip}} to get them away. Pikachu prepares to {{m|ThunderShock}} it, but Sam prevents it from doing so. Soon, Ash and Sam are able to, together, soothe Celebi and bring it with them.

Team Rocket, not yet having given up, are waiting for them, and block their path back. Saying their motto, as they always do, causes {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to fall down onto the already-unstable branch they stand on, though, and causes it to break, sending them to the ground, and allowing the four Trainers to continue.

Just as Ash says that the town where the old woman and Diana live together is close, the Iron-Masked Marauder attacks, sending out his Dark Tyranitar against the Trainers. Using its Hyper Beam again, he very nearly hits them, however, they are able to escape, partly due to the intervention of {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}. It is at this point where all of the Team Rocket members meet. the Iron-Masked Marauder demonstrates to them his Dark Pokémon, sending out his Dark {{p|Sneasel}} and Dark {{p|Scizor}} as well, and sends the two Pokémon after the group of four.

Misty causes the group to stop due to twisting her knee, and both of the Dark Pokémon catch up. Ash prepares to battle, taking out one of his [[Poké Ball]]s, and Sam does as well. Sam's Poké Ball is different, though; instead of being a red-and-white color like Ash's, it has a gray-ish color to it, and must be unscrewed on the top before sending out his Pokémon of choice, a {{p|Charmeleon}}. Ash, now over the surprise of Sam's strange Poké Ball, throws his own, sending out {{AP|Bayleef}}. Thus begins a battle, Bayleef vs Scizor, Charmeleon vs Sneasel. Both of the Trainers' Pokémon are able to defeat the Marauder's, just as the man himself, with his team-mates, arrives. However, all he finds left by the Trainers are his Pokémon, tied up.

Ash and the group continue in the forest, which grows foggy. Leading them through are several {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, who bring them to a lake. Sam brings Celebi in, and it dives underwater, using {{m|Recover}}. Now fully healed, the Pokémon plays with the group a bit, and Ash turns his hat backward and jumps in, followed by Sam. The three of them swim for a bit, then fly through the air with the help of Celebi's {{t|Psychic}} powers. Celebi soon leads all four of them to a [[Berry]] tree, and everything seems well for a bit.

Jessie, James, and Meowth, bored on the Iron-Masked Marauder's mech, try to grab a fruit of their own, however, in doing so, they end up falling out, and even losing the fruit itself to a {{p|Pidgeotto}}.

Back with Ash's group, he and Sam are discussing Pokémon, and Sam shows Ash his sketchbook, containing several excellent drawings including the one that Sam is working on now... one of Pikachu and Celebi sleeping together. Ash remarks on the quality of Sam's pictures, which Ash compares to a [[Pokédex]]. The two then talk about how, especially for Sam, that their mothers must worry about them. Pikachu and Celebi then wake up and run off, causing Sam and Ash to follow them. Climbing a tree, they watch many {{p|Metapod}} evolve into {{p|Butterfree}} and fly off creating an magnificently colorful display. The two friends watch this together with the Pokémon, and marvel at the amazing and unforgettable sight.

The next morning, the four trainers continue their journey back to the village when the Iron-Masked Marauder arrives on his mech. With Jessie, James and Meowth cutting off their escape, the gang are forced to try and fight their way out. Pikachu's attacks do not damage the mech, and the Iron-Masked Marauder captures Celebi in his Dark Ball. Ash attempts to attack the Iron-Masked Marauder himself, however, even though his efforts are able to topple the mech and is able to get the Dark Ball containing Celebi away, the evil Team Rocket member is able to get it back, and shows the group, as well as the Pokémon who have gathered to help Celebi, just what has happened: Celebi has become a mindless monster.

the Iron-Masked Marauder, in causing Celebi to destroy the forest, also picks up a good amount of debris, and Jessie, to create a monstrous ball. Suicune is watching this, and Diana and her grandmother know as well. Eventually the Iron-Masked Marauder, in his Celebi-made monster, reveals to Jessie his true intentions: to take over Team Rocket and usurp {{an|Giovanni}} as its boss.

the Iron-Masked Marauder then orders Celebi to show its full power, and Celebi turns the ball into a monstrous creation which fires a purple beam at the Lake, polluting it. Ash and Sam are determined to get Celebi back and Ash orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu against the Celebi-monster, but it has no effect. The Iron-Masked Marauder decides to get rid of Ash and Sam once and for all and order Celebi to fire at them. Ash and Sam have no way of avoiding the beam that's forming, and Celebi fires...

Ash and Sam appear out of the smoke... on Suicune, who had arrived just in time. Suicune confirms it's there to help, and Ash and Sam prepare to get Celebi back. The Iron-Masked Marauder notices Suicune's arrival and decides to capture it too, and sends out his Dark Tyranitar and orders a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Brock knows Tyranitar has to be stopped and sends out {{TP|Brock|Onix}} against it. The two Pokémon begin to fight however Onix, despite its size advantage, finds itself to be no match against Tyranitar's strength. Meanwhile Suicune attempts to find an opening to get Ash and Sam to Celebi but cannot get past the Celebi-monster's defenses. Eventually Tyranitar heads towards Suicune who unleashes a powerful {{m|BubbleBeam}} which knocks it back, allowing Onix to use its tail to send Tyranitar flying into the Lake, taking it out of the fight. However the battle has taken its toll on Onix who faints. Brock congratulates Onix on a job well done and returns it to its [[Poké Ball]].

Meanwhile, Suicune is finally able to make a run for Celebi up the monster's arm, but is caught by the creature's tendril which start to sap the energy out of it. Ash and Sam are sent flying, but are caught by Jessie who informs them of Celebi's location. Ash and Sam climb the monster and find Celebi at its heart. Ash and Sam start to climb through, withstanding Celebi's attacks and try to remind it of its previous gentle nature. Eventually, Celebi starts to regain its memories of Ash, Sam and Pikachu and the tendrils holding Suicune release it. Celebi soon breaks free of its brainwashing, destroying the Dark Ball containing it.

Now that Celebi is free from the Iron-Masked Marauder's control, the Celebi-monster is left to crumble into the lake along with the Iron-Masked Marauder and Jessie. Celebi flies Ash and Sam out of the disintegrating creature however it starts to lose strength. By the time Ash's friends and Suicune meet Ash and Sam at the lakeside Celebi is unconscious, something is seriously wrong. Just then Celebi withers in Ash's arms, to everyone's horror. Brock suggests putting Celebi into the water, however it has no effect as the lake's water has been tainted by the attack on it. Suicune however has the power to save the lake, and jumps across the water purifying and restoring it with every step.

Ash places Celebi into the water, however despite being clean it still has no effect. Ash then tries feeding it the berries it liked earlier, but Celebi doesn't move and the berries fall into the lake. It is now clear that Celebi is dead, and Ash and the villagers start to weep. Sam angrily states that Celebi didn't do anything wrong, that is was forced to attack the forest and never got the choice... and now it can never have a choice. Sam starts to cry as well, as the others continue to sob, upset at losing such an innocent Pokémon and friend. Suicune and the Forest Pokémon are also devastated, and all cry out in anguish.

Suddenly, a bright light appears in the sky enveloping the lake causing everyone to look up. The light vibrates for a few seconds, before a portal opens through which several Celebi appear. They cause the Celebi lying dead in Ash's arms to rise up and the take it to the middle of a circle and start to give it energy. Towa explains that the spirits of the past and the future can travel through time too, and so they've all come to help their fallen friend. Celebi's body returns to its previous state and the tiny Pokémon suddenly wakes up completely revived to everyone's joy. The Celebi spirits travel back through the portal, which closes in a magnificent display of light. Celebi is now full of life and starts to fly across the lake, happily returning to everyone on the shore.

The reunion is cut short when the Iron-Masked Marauder suddenly emerges from the lake grabbing Celebi. Determined to get away with Celebi one way or another, two rockets emerges from his back and he flies away. Ash is desperate to not let him get away and grabs the Iron-Masked Marauder's leg as he rises and holds on tight, despite rising very high very fast. Ash climbs up the legs orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the evil man, causing the jetpack to explode, and he, Ash, and Pikachu to fall back to Earth. Ash and Pikachu know they will never survive a fall from this height and brace themselves for the inevitable... when Celebi comes to the rescue, helping them fly and returning to their friends. the Iron-Masked Marauder falls through the trees, eventually reaching the ground, losing his helmet, and having to face the wrath of the old woman and several {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, all of which use {{m|String Shot}} to tie him up.

Back at the lake, Ash and company say goodbye to Suicune, and Celebi prepares to travel back in time 40 years to return Sammy from where he came. As Ash says goodbye, Sam and he agree that they'll see each other again one day, hopefully soon. Those who remained in the present are saddened by Sam and Celebi's departure, however, soon, Ash, Misty, and Brock find themselves back where they started, calling Professor Oak once again to confirm that it indeed was a Suicune they saw, and Misty adds that they also were able to see Celebi.

Oak notices Ash's disheartened face and asks him what exactly is bringing him down, as he hasn't said a word since they began talking. Ash replies that it's because he made a really good friend, but now it seems they'll never see each other again, but Oak responds that he's absolutely sure that he'll see Sam again and that even though they're separated, Ash and Sam will always be friends which helps Ash feel better. He promises to tell Professor Oak the full story when he returns to [[Pallet Town]], and Oak remarks that he's looking forward to it. After hanging up, Misty notices something: How could Professor Oak have known that the boy they met was named Sam if none of them mentioned this? Before any can think on it too much, the next ferry they're taking is prepared to leave, and they have to go catch it. Brock can only simply chalk it up to being that Professor Oak is a brillant man as they run.

Back in Oak's lab, the Professor is looking through a sketchbook-- but not of {{Tracey}}'s, of his own. Talking to himself, he says that it's all as if it happened yesterday, revealing to the viewers the drawing of Celebi and Pikachu together that he drew and that Sam was actually the younger Professor Oak.

In the end, Jessie swims in the lake, and James and Meowth find her on a raft. Soon after they meet back up, a Tyranitar, formerly the Iron-Masked Marauder's, attacks the raft. As it swims away, the Iron-Masked Marauder's Scizor and Sneasel are also revealed, returning to their wild life on being freed from the Dark Balls. The movie, like the others, ends on a Team Rocket note.

==Trivia==
* This movie made its debut in Japanese theaters in between the episodes [[EP205|''The Kecleon Caper'']] and [[EP206|''The Joy of Water Pokémon'']].
* This was the only Pokémon movie that featured an audio commentary with voice actors [[Veronica Taylor]], [[Rachael Lillis]], [[Eric Stuart]] and [[Maddie Blaustein]]. It was also the last movie to feature an audio commentary with [[Michael Haigney]] and Norman Grossfeld.
** For some unexplained reason, the audio commentary ends about two-thirds of the way through the film. Whether this was intentional or an editing error is unknown.
* Sammy Oak once did the same thing that [[Tracey Sketchit]] does in modern times: sketch Pokémon.
* Since the sketchbook didn't time travel with Sammy the first time, but did the second, the notebook Professor Oak has at the end is 80 years old.
** This also means that now there are two versions of the sketchbook that exist in the past, the one that is 40 years older, and the first one that became the one that is 40 years older.
* This movie causes a {{wp|predestination paradox|causal loop}} and a {{wp|grandfather paradox}}. If Sammy was forty years ahead of time in the future, how could his present self have given Ash his Pikachu, or caused Ash to go out on his journey with a Pokémon at all, if there was any doubt of him getting back? As well, could Ash have only gotten his Pikachu because Oak thought ahead in the beginning to capture a Pikachu specifically for him, after that adventure? As most Trainers do not have more than one starter Pokémon, and Sammy clearly saw Ash's Bayleef, knowing that he would be receiving a Pokémon from him, as Ash grew up, would have caused Oak to either go with the [[Johto]] starters or to capture the Pikachu that would become Ash's ahead of time. As the latter, rather than the former, was the case, perhaps this is exactly what happened.
* This is the third [[Pokémon movie]] to air on Toon Disney. ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' were the first two.
* {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}} appeared in promotional posters for this movie, but did not appear in the film itself.
* This marks the first time in one of the movies that Jessie, James and Meowth work directly alongside the main villain.
* None of Misty's Pokémon (apart from {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}) appear in this film.
* This is the first Pokémon movie to show a Pokémon evolving (that being {{p|Metapod}} into {{p|Butterfree}}).
* This was the first movie that showed Team Rocket blasting off.
* This was the first movie not to feature a Pokémon that could speak using telepathy.
*Meowth makes reference to the real world, thinking that the main antagonist is a "Mexican Wrestler", at first.

==Errors==
*When Sammy runs out of the Lake of Life, the only part of his clothes shown to be wet are his pantlegs beneath his knees, despite having been in the water past his waist.

==Dub edits==
* This film is notable that for the first (and so far only) time in the series' history, three scenes were specially animated for Western audiences.
** The first was an alternate scene of Ash calling Professor Oak to find out about Suicune. In the original scene, Professor Oak assumes it is Suicune, then shows Ash a picture from a book of Suicune, gives some info on it; however, when he attempts to write a [[Pokémon senryū]], [[Ash's Muk]] smothers Oak and {{Tracey}} apologizes. In the alternate scene used for the English adaptation, Professor Oak confirms that Suicune is one of the legendary Pokémon, gives information on Suicune, and confirms that he has seen it, and he also tells Ash that the legends surrounding Suicune being the embodiment of the North Wind and being able to purify tainted water are true. Mr. White then calls to Ash and his friends, then they run off with Mr. White to the boat. The scene then cuts to an exterior shot of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]], then it cuts to him sitting inside his lab, wondering whether or not he should have told them about what was going to happen.
** The second scene is a comic relief moment when Team Rocket try to grab some fruit from the Marauder's mech only to fall off and get left behind.
** The third scene is an alternate ending. The new ending is when Ash calls Professor Oak again, telling him of his adventures in the forest and how sad he was that he would never see his new friend again. Oak assures him that him and ''Sammy'' would always be friends, no matter how far apart they are. Misty also directly asks how Oak knew Sammy's name. In the original, Sam was shown returning home to Towa believing that his experience in the future was a dream (thereby avoiding the Grandfather Paradox as stated above). In fact, the only clue for the Japanese audience that Sam was actually the younger Professor Oak was during the credits when Tracey finds Sam's faded sketch of Celebi and Pikachu sleeping among Professor Oak's belongings (this does cause a small continuity error, as Tracey finds the sketchbook stashed away among several other old books despite Professor Oak having being shown to have been recently reading it).
*** For the director's comments on the English DVD involving the voice talent, they talk about watching the original ending and being completely confused on whether it meant that Oak and Sammy were the same or not. They note that the original is a fairly typical way for a Japanese movie to solve a similar mystery in the storyline. Once they confirmed that Oak and Sammy were the same person, they created the new ending to clearly show that they were the same for the English-speaking audiences.
* The prologue first used in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' was used in this film, and the original Japanese version didn't have this prologue.

'''B-2''' (Japanese: '''Ｋ－２''') is a recurring [[Galactic Grunt]] in the ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' {{pkmn|manga}}. He claims that as a Grunt he "has no name" and is thus called by his assigned number B-2 (a pun on the word "booty"). (K-2 in Japanese, pronounced as {{tt|ケーツー|kētsū}}, a pun on "{{tt|けつ|ketsu}}", the Japanese word for "butt".)

B-2's first appearance was in ''[[DPA02|Hareta's Very First Pokémon Battle!!]]'' in [[Jubilife City]] with another Grunt. The two of them confront [[Hareta]] (who has wandered off while Mitsumi was speaking) and noting the rarity of his [[Hareta's Empoleon|Piplup]], they demand he hand it over. Hareta refuses, however, and gets angry upon recognizing their smell as being the same one as [[DPA01|when Onix went crazy]]. One of the Grunts commands their {{p|Wurmple}} to use {{m|String Shot}} on Hareta and Piplup so they can snatch Piplup and make a clean getaway. However, Hareta manages to follow the pair to [[Oreburgh Gate]], where he manages to bite B-2's rear before being taken down by the other Grunt's Wurmple's {{m|Poison Sting}}. The pair of Grunts bring Hareta to the [[Oreburgh Mine]], with B-2 stating that they're going to make him regret not only crossing their path, but also biting his buttocks, which are noticeably swollen by now. Before they can exact their revenge, though, they are defeated by [[Roark]] who happens to be nearby and the pair subsequently flee.

When B-2 reappears, he is on his own on the road to [[Celestic Town]] carrying a briefcase containing a "Secret Item". Hareta asks if he's up to no good again. B-2 refuses to tell him, but then blabs anyway that it's an item to catch a legendary Pokémon that must be kept secret until delivered to his boss. After Mitsumi points out that he just revealed everything, the grunt panics deciding that he must now hurry in order to deliver it. However as he begins to run, [[Cynthia]] trips him. He then sends out his {{p|Beautifly}} to battle, but it is instantly defeated by Piplup. Sending out three Wurmple, he has them all use String Shot together. Hareta appears to be in trouble unable to deal with this amount of string, until [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] helps out. However, the String Shot was merely a diversion and B-2 had already escaped.

When Hareta and Mitsumi arrive in Celestic Town, they encounter B-2 and a group of other Galactic Grunts at the Celestic Ruins. He says that they're too late and has already delivered the item to his boss and is now on his next assignment. After [[Professor Carolina|Cynthia's grandmother]] refuses to divulge any information about {{p|Dialga}}, he activates a bomb to destroy the relics. Hareta attempts to disarm the bomb, but instead reduces the time remaining from 5 minutes to 30 seconds. B-2 and the other Grunts then call a hasty retreat.

The next appearance of B-2 is on [[Iron Island]]. Hareta challenges him to a battle and his Graveler is then defeated by [[Riley's Lucario]]. As Hareta and [[Riley]] train together, they notice that all the wild Pokémon on Iron Island are in a rage. Eventually, B-2 reveals himself to be responsible and attacks with his Drapion. Through a tag-team of Hareta's newly hatched {{p|Riolu}} and Riley's Lucario, B-2 is defeated and flees once again.

He is also present at [[Lake Valor]], where he reveals that the briefcase he delivered to the boss earlier was actually the Galactic Bomb which drained the lake. He tells Hareta that he stands no chance against all the Galactic Grunts gathered there alone; however the Sinnoh [[Gym Leaders]] appear to take care of the Grunts while Hareta and [[Byron]] deal with [[Saturn]]. As the events at Lake Valor unfold, [[Cyrus]] himself becomes involved and in the end Team Galactic is defeated, however B-2 still manages to escape with the captive {{p|Azelf}}.

He later appears at the [[Snowpoint Temple]], where he witnesses the battle between Hareta and {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}. When he is found after the battle, Byron tells him to go tell Cyrus that the end is near.

When Hareta and the Gym Leaders arrive at [[Team Galactic HQ]], B-2 is the designated watchman. When everyone (other than Byron) decide to have a picnic outside before going in, he asks them what they're doing out here and Hareta tell him that they're having a picnic and asks him if he wants to join. B-2 accepts the invitation. After everyone has eaten their fill, B-2 is swiftly defeated in battle and Hareta and the Gym Leaders storm the building. This culminates with the building's self destruction as Cyrus escapes to [[Mt. Coronet]] with the [[Red Chain]].

When Hareta is on his way to the [[Spear Pillar]] to stop Cyrus, after defeating [[Mars]], B-2 steps in binding Hareta with his Wurmple's String Shot. However, as a light shines down from the summit, Mars and the still bound by string Hareta head up to the Spear Pillar, as the grunt calls out for them to wait up. After this, he appears to be the last person to arrive at the summit, being there in time to help with Cyrus's plan to stop Dialga and Palkia and send them back to where they came from.

After this, B-2 is not seen again until much later when Hareta comes to take on [[Charon]] at the new Galactic Headquarters in Veilstone. B-2 begs Hareta to help him save Cyrus, to which Hareta, and subsequently Jun and Mitsumi agree to. Before going to the HQ, Hareta asks him if he has a name, at which point he finally introduces himself as B-2. However arriving outside HQ, [[Koya]] is there, refusing to let them in as [[Looker|Hansom]] is currently in there taking care of Team Galactic with a Super Elite Squadron. However, Hansom soon calls alerting Koya that the mission was a failure, prompting him and the others to enter. They find Charon with an army of ferocious Pokémon, deciding to leave it to Hareta and Koya, B-2 asks Mitsumi and Jun to help him save Cyrus in the meantime.

==Trivia==
* In the special story, ''[[DPAS2|Deoxys, The Phantom Pokémon!]]'', B-2 stands guard at the [[Galactic Warehouse]].
* Due to his lack of an actual name in earlier volumes, some fans have taken to calling him '''Uranus''' as a combined reference to the planetary naming for the Commanders and his swollen buttocks.
* Since B-2's appearance, it has been a gag that every time he appears, something will happen to his buttocks.
**In ''[[DPA02|Hareta's Very First Pokémon Battle!!]]'', he had his butt bitten by Hareta while battling in a cave.
**In ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys!!]]'', he had his butt poked (by Hareta), pecked (by Piplup), and whacked with a staff (by [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother).
**In ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]'', his butt was poked by the spike on [[Riley's Lucario]]'s paw.
**In ''[[DPA16|Team Galactic's Greatest Warrior]]'', after having some lunch with Hareta and his friends, his butt was {{m|bite|bitten}} by Hareta's Luxio.
** In ''[[DPA32|Charon Must Be Stopped!]]'', he bumps his butt against Hareta's as a gesture of friendship ("butties").
*B-2 actually has an attack called "butt-bump" which he used against [[Hareta's Empoleon|Hareta's Piplup]] in ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]''.

Super Effective (webcomic)

[[File:SELogo.png|right|thumb|250px|''Super Effective'''s logo]]
'''Super Effective''' is a {{wp|webcomic}} by Canadian cartoonist '''Scott Ramsoomair'''. It is based on the events of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and was first published on April 23, 2008.

Ramsoomair is also known for his main comic, [http://www.vgcats.com/ ''VG Cats''], which parodies many video games, including Pokémon. ''Super Effective'' is devoted to the Pokémon series, and the storyline focuses on {{ga|Red}}'s journey through [[Kanto]]. Some comics do deviate slightly from the plot of the games, and this is primarily for humor purposes.

The humor is based around jokes and questions commonly found in the fandom, such as the fact no one has seen [[Brock]]'s eyes, and [[Professor Oak]] doesn't know the name of his {{ga|Blue|grandson}}. A majority of the jokes are focused towards mature readers only.

Unlike most webcomics, ''Super Effective'' does not have set days on which it is updated, and is published on an irregular basis. This is largely due to Ramsoomair's other commitments, such as ''VG Cats'', but has also been credited to the time it takes to produce a single strip.<ref name="VG Cats FAQ page">[http://www.vgcats.com/faq/ VG Cats FAQ page]</ref>

==Characters==
[[File:Super Effective Strip 02.png|thumb|right|250px|The second strip, showing Blue, Oak, and Red]]
===Red===
The main character of the comic, Red is based on the {{ga|Red|player character}} of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. His starter Pokémon was a {{p|Charmander}}. Like his game counterpart, he is a silent protagonist and thus largely speaks through his actions. Unlike a majority of the other characters in the series, Red is the most rational and notices the obvious faults of other characters in the series. He made his debut in the first strip. He currently has one badge, the {{badge|Boulder}}, and so far has succeeded in catching a {{p|Pidgey}} and a {{p|Zubat}}.

===Professor Oak===
Unlike his counterparts in other media, Professor Oak is portrayed as a man with little common sense, unable to remember his grandson's name or determine whether Red was a boy or a girl. He provides both Red and Blue with a Pokémon and [[Pokédex]], giving them the task of completing it. He made his debut in the first strip.

===Blue===
Professor Oak's grandson, also known as '''Douche'''. Like {{ga|Blue|the character on which he was based}}, Blue has had a strong rivalry with Red since they were babies. He also hates his grandfather for things such as forgetting his name, giving him a {{p|Squirtle}} which didn't know any Water-type attacks and forcing him on a quest to complete the Pokédex. He takes his catch phrase "Smell ya later!" literally, and takes the time to smell Red after a Pokémon battle. He made his debut in the second strip.

===DEX v1.2===
Red's Pokédex has a personality of its own. It has a unique sense of humor with a tendency to offer immature suggestions for Pokémon [[nickname]]s.

===Green===
Green is based on the female player character, {{ga|Leaf}}, and first appeared in the 29th strip. Her starter Pokémon is a {{p|Bulbasaur}}. She happens to display an interest in its "{{m|Vine Whip|tentacles}}" that she may or may not be kidding about. She has a peppy and bright personality (and is somewhat cruel, cutting down tall grass with a lawnmower, killing the Pokémon hiding in it), but she has only appeared in three strips so far. Ramsoomair intends for Green to become more of a supporting character, like Blue.<ref name="interview">Interview with Scott Ramsoomair</ref>

===Other characters===
In addition to the five main characters, additional characters have been included in one or more strips. These include [[Brock]], the first Gym Leader; the man in the [[Poké Mart]]; a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}; the {{ka|old man}} who teachers players how to catch Pokémon; and [[Nurse Joy]].

==Fandom jokes==
[[File:Super Effective Strip 01.png|thumb|right|250px|Typical Oak humor]]
[[File:Super Effective Strip 22.png|thumb|right|250px|Humor relating to the frustration of finding a rare Pokémon, but having no Poké Balls to catch it with]]A number of the jokes in the series are based around common jokes, questions, and criticisms of the games themselves. More often than not, the jokes are one-off 'on the spot' jokes that make their point, but don't interfere with the story. This list contains some of the more notable fandom jokes referenced in the series.
* Strip #1: Professor Oak must be told if the player is a boy or a girl.
* Strip #2: Professor Oak must be told his own grandson's name, potentially allowing the player to give him an insulting one.
* Strip #5: Professor Oak gives children expensive equipment (Pokédex) and sends them on a lengthy journey (catching all known Pokémon) by themselves.
* Strip #9: A common belief that pressing a combination of buttons allows a Pokémon to be caught more easily.
* Strip #13: The {{ka|old man}} from [[Viridian City]] teaches the {{player}} how to catch Pokémon, despite the player having usually already caught Pokémon by that point.
* Strip #22: The common frustration of finding a rare Pokémon, but having no [[Poké Ball]]s to catch it with.
* Strip #23: The fact that the player gets money after each battle.
* Strip #24: The realization that any Trainer who started with Charmander will be at a major disadvantage in the first gym.
* Strip #25: The fact that Brock's eyes always appear closed.
* Strip #30: Certain fan's attraction to the female counterpart despite her being around ten years old.
* Strip #36: The fact that Gym Leaders have only two or three Pokémon at the beginning of the Trainer's quest, despite most Trainers having up to six.
* Strip #44: When the player enters a cave, the wild, constantly appearing Zubat know {{m|Confuse Ray}}, which can quickly confuse the entire Trainer's party if used repeatedly.

==Creation==
Ramsoomair creates all of his comics, including ''Super Effective'' using both hand-drawn art and computer software. By scanning his images (or drawing them on a {{wp|graphics tablet}}), {{wp|Adobe Photoshop}} or a similar tool can be used to darken the lines and finalize the image. It typically takes many hours to make a single comic. Drawing alone is between three and nine hours, and the computer work takes a similar length of time. Ramsoomair cites this as one of the reasons why ''Super Effective'' and his other comics are not updated at a higher frequency.<ref name="VG Cats FAQ page"/>

Ramsoomair intends to run the strip until the end of Kanto, with it basically being a scripted and humorous walkthrough of his own FireRed game. Currently, he plans for Red to catch the same Pokémon he used in the game. However, due to timing constraints, some sections of the game may be skipped.<ref name="interview"/>

While the comic is based largely on the plot of the games, several strips have been based on events in other media, such as the {{pkmn|anime}}<ref name="Strip 37">[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=36 Strip 37]</ref>, often incorporating game aspects.<ref name="Strip 12">[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=11 Strip 12]</ref>

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his pals}} finally arrive in [[Eterna City]]. But on their way to [[Eterna Gym|the Pokémon Gym]], they hear the alarm going off at the [[Eterna Museum]], and the Eterna City [[Officer Jenny]] and her {{p|Stunky}} are summoned to investigate. The [[Adamant Orb]] has been stolen, and it shouldn't take a guess or two to figure out who's to blame -- [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} (disguised as a {{p|Sunflora}}) of [[Team Rocket]] are the wrongdoers behind the theft. Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}} and Jenny arrive to confront the robbers, but Jessie calls out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and has Seviper use {{m|Haze}}. The crooks disappear, but the exits lock off.

More Police officers rush to the scene of the crime. [[Gardenia]] arrives at the investigation, and Ash and his friends say hello to her. Lovestruck Brock is immediately taking notice, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|jabs}} him. Gardenia tells Ash and his friends what the police told her-- the crooks used a {{type2|Grass}} to steal the Orb. Officer Jenny arrives with her first suspect-- [[Nando]]. Nando claims he isn't the crook because he came to the museum to find history of the Museum. Gardenia believes Nando's story, because she battled him earlier at her gym. Officer Jenny doesn't believe his story, because she has a picture of a Sunflora stealing the orb. Nando had a Sunflora with him, but it managed to sneak out of its [[Poké Ball]] before the police nabbed him. Nando is then brought in for questioning.

The Officer Jenny of [[Viridian City]] arrives and tells them it's her day off. The Viridian Jenny tells the Eterna Jenny that all Trainers with Sunflora must be investigated, and not just Nando, but the Eterna Jenny doesn't listen to her, and tells her not to get involved. Security Guards and Police Officers surround the museum. There wasn't a way for Team Rocket to get out with police everywhere, so they decide to fight their way out.

Gardenia explains that the Orb Team Rocket stole was somehow linked with the [[creation trio|legendary dragons]], {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Ash, Brock and Dawn set out to catch the crooks. Ash sends out {{AP|Aipom}}, {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Turtwig}} and Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and they send them to search for the crooks. Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Nando keeps trying to tell Jenny he is innocent, but Jenny continues to refuse to listen to him.

Nando's Sunflora, after sneaking out of its Poké Ball, is walking around the museum. Two Security Guards spot Sunflora, and Sunflora {{m|Leech Seed}}s them. Sunflora soon runs into Aipom and Turtwig, and seeds them, too. Sunflora quickly ducks into the vents. Ash and his pals find Aipom and Turtwig seeded, while the Security Guards, after having somehow freed themselves from the Leech Seed, report to Officer Jenny. In the room Team Rocket is hiding in, the Security Guards take a look inside. Team Rocket hides on the ceiling so the guards won't spot them. Then, the guards leave.

Team Rocket drops from the ceiling. The vent Sunflora is in leads into the room Team Rocket is hiding in. Pikachu and Piplup have caught Sunflora, but Sunflora tells them the Sunflora in the room Team Rocket is in, is really Meowth in disguise. When Team Rocket removes their disguises and replace them with new ones, they realize Sunflora is right! Piplup decides to attack, but Pikachu prevents Piplup from doing so. Pikachu runs back to tell Ash. Team Rocket spots Sunflora and Piplup, and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} attacks them with {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Meanwhile, Pikachu is leading Ash and co. to Team Rocket. Team Rocket, still in disguise, walks past them, trying to act nonchalant. Sunflora attacks them with a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and their disguises fall off. Gardenia and Ash conclude that Nando's Sunflora isn't criminal, and that Team Rocket are the real criminals. After Team Rocket recites their [[Team Rocket motto|speech]] and reveal they were hired to steal the Adamant Orb by another group, Ash and his friends demand they return the orb, but they refuse. Ash's Pikachu, Aipom, Staravia and Turtwig, Dawn's Piplup, Buneary, Buizel and Pachirisu, [[Brock's Sudowoodo]], Nando's Sunflora and [[Gardenia's Turtwig]] surround them, but they can't use their attacks, because they could harm the Adamant Orb.

The Eterna City Jenny and her Stunky arrive on the scene and Stunky sprays Team Rocket, filling the room with its {{a|Stench}}. The Orb falls out of Jessie's hands, and Gardenia's Turtwig quickly responds with a {{m|Leaf Storm}}. The Orb lands in Gardenia's hands. Team Rocket makes a run for it while the pokémon surrounding them are holding their noses, but the cops who were surrounding the museum have them cornered. The stink starts to spread outside the museum, forcing the cops to cover their noses and thus allowing Team Rocket to escape. After that, everyone outside is happy that the Adamant Orb is returned. Ash still wants to knows the full legend of the creation trio, and Nando tells the group of {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, who helped shape the world by creating Dialga and Palkia before creating {{p|Uxie|three}} {{p|Mesprit|other}} {{p|Azelf|Pokémon}} to act as the world's spirit. Ash and Dawn are confused, the legend raising more questions than answers. Viridian Jenny poses another question that remains unanswered; who hired Team Rocket to steal the Adamant Orb. While everyone puts forwards familiar names ([[Butch]], [[Cassidy]] and [[J]] being likely suspects), no-one can be sure who is responsible. For now the mystery will have to remain unanswered...

...meanwhile, high above Eterna City, a helicopter flies away from the city. Inside are members of a [[Team Galactic|different, unfamiliar organisation]]. [[Team Galactic Grunts|The pilots]] remark what a mistake it was to entrust the bungling Team Rocket with stealing the Adamant Orb while [[Saturn|their Commander]] sits in the back, unimpressed. Stealing the Adamant Orb will have to wait for another day.

* Meowth's Sunflora costume reappears in this episode; he dresses up as a Sunflora before in the ''[[EP135|Grin to Win!]]'', ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'', ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]'' and ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go!]]''.

** [[Pokémon senryū]]: ラムパルド　あたまみがいて　せんとうじゅんび ''Ramuparudo, atama migaite, sentō junbi''
* {{Ash}} narrates the next episode preview.
* Viridian Jenny shouting "Objection" outside of the screen, the showing of "contradicting" evidence by Eterna Jenny and a witness account from Gardenia are all possible references to the {{wp|Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney}} game series.
* [[Officer Jenny]] from [[Viridian City]] said that she had a day off in this episode. However, it would take a couple of days to get from Viridian City to Eterna City and back since Ash, Dawn and Brock took a couple of days to get there.
* After Stunky caused a foul odor, Meowth covered his nose even though before he said he wasn't affected because he doesn't have a nose.
* This is one of the few episodes where Team Rocket does not "blast off".
===Errors===
* [[Officer Jenny]] from [[Viridian City]] claims that [[Team Rocket]] didn't use their old motto from [[EP002|the second episode of Pokémon]] in this episode, yet she never heard them recite it. In that episode, she only announced that "they were" the possible thieves roaming Viridian at that time.
* In the backseat of [[Team Galactic]]'s helicopter, [[Saturn]]'s arms were crossed a certain way from a distance, but in the closeup, he switched arms and was then crossing them the opposite way.
* When the Pokémon surround Team Rocket, Staravia and Turtwig are behind them, with Turtwig standing in front of a doorway. A few scenes later, there are no Pokémon behind Team Rocket. However, after Stunky sprays its stench and the camera pans out to show Jessie throwing up the Orb, Pokémon are behind them again, only now Staravia is in front of them.
* Dawn seemed to know who Butch and Cassidy were in the episode when they listed possible suspects. However, when she first met Team Rocket in, she not only didn't recognize them, but it was implied that she and the rest of Sinnoh has absolutely no knowledge of Team Rocket's existence.
*The female Grunt's arms were colored black instead of gray.
* When Nando first appears, the "emo bang" that covers his eye is on the right side of his face. After his retelling of how he was caught by the police, the bang has switched to the left side. When Gardenia protests that "no one who loves Grass-type Pokémon could be a crook!" the bang is on the right side again and stays that way for the rest of the episode.

'''A Chansey Operation''' (Japanese: '''ラッキーのカルテ''' ''{{tt|Lucky|Chansey}}'s Clinical Records'') is the 47th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 4, 1998, and in the United States on March 6, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
Something gets stuck in {{AP|Pikachu}}'s throat after he has been looking through trees which is making its voice sound weird. {{an|Brock}} quickly suggests to take Pikachu to the [[Pokémon Center]]. They run down the path to look for a Pokémon Center, but there isn't one for miles. They eventually reach a hospital for humans and asks help from the doctor in charge there. {{Ash}}'s pleas have no effect on the doctor, but when {{an|Misty}} starts pleading, the doctor gives in, saying that he can't resist a pretty face. After checking on Pikachu, the doctor states that there is something stuck in Pikachu's throat. The doctor manages to remove the thing in its throat, which happens to be an apple.

The phone then starts ringing. Brock answers the call and learns that it's [[Nurse Joy]]. She informs Brock that there has been a violent accident involving a truck of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]], and the Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention. The extra room of the hospital is needed. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are at the scene of the accident, with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] having a heated argument. {{MTR}} is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing. Nurse Joy asks [[Dr. Proctor]] for his help. Instead of answering the nurse seriously, he asks her out, making her angry. After that, the doctor gives everyone their uniforms and equipment, saying that he needs their help because he is short on staff. When the injured Pokémon arrives, everyone starts working. Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to hold down {{p|Cubone}} who keeps on struggling in pain. Misty comforts it and successfully calms it down. Dr. Proctor says that Misty is a natural.

Team Rocket comes in, bringing more patients, namely Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{p|Raticate}}. The doctor proceeds on asking Jessie out for some pizza. Jessie is impressed with the doctor. Ash comes and tells the doctor not to help Team Rocket, but Dr. Proctor explains that it was his job to heal not to judge.

On the other hand, {{MTR}} is still stressing over the lost of his charm. {{p|Chansey}} tries to cheer him up but did not succeed.

Everyone is busy helping all the injured Pokémon, even Jessie and James pitch in. They are all working together diligently. Later on, while treatment is still going on, Jessie and James decide to steal all the injured Pokémon. They take off the uniforms and starts reciting their motto. They didn't manage to finish it because Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them. Jessie and James tries to stop Ash, Misty and Brock. Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. He commands Arbok and then Weezing to attack Chansey, but they didn't budge one bit. Dr. Proctor states that Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}} will not attack Chansey because they were indebted to it. Getting angry, Jessie throws a beaker at him, but Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Dr. Proctor then shows them his "arsenal" that's in his doctor's coat. His "arsenal" consists of sharp tools, such as shots, scissors, and scalpels. Team Rocket runs out of the building when Ash and his friends push the stretchers towards them. Team Rocket ends up blasting off when the {{p|Voltorb}} that James took self-destruct. Upon landing, the charm on Meowth's head pops out, making him very happy.

With the Pokémon all treated, Dr. Proctor tell Ash and his friends that they should be doctors and asks them if they want to stay and train. Misty states her interest in becoming a doctor but she still has a lot to learn about water Pokémon. Ash and friends then bid farewell to the good doctor and continue on their journey.

== Trivia ==
* This is the only episode (with the obvious exception of [[EP038]]) to feature {{p|Porygon}} (although in this case it is a cameo).
=== Errors ===
* While Misty and Jessie are trying to help a {{p|Voltorb}} caught in a {{p|Weepinbell}}'s mouth, Doctor Proctor tells Jessie that Voltorb can {{m|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}}, which she seems not to know. However, Jessie saw several Voltorb self-destruct when [[EP032|Ash battled Koga.]]
**Interestingly enough, in that episode, James was the only one of the three who knew what a Voltorb was, and when Meowth was holding a Voltorb up, he yelled to him "That's a Voltorb!" but in this episode, their positions are swapped. At the end of this episode, James manages to steal a Voltorb, apparently unaware that it will selfdestruct, and Jessie and Meowth panic when they see Voltorb, and Meowth says "That's a Voltorb!"

=== Dub edits ===
* In the [[Kids' WB!]] version, the scene where [[Dr. Proctor]] is injected with the anesthetic is cut. However, in every other version, including the one that airs on [[Cartoon Network]], the scene is kept in.
*On that same note, the sound effects are kept in, and the anesthetic scene is frozen.
* In the dub, after getting injected with the anesthetic, Dr. Proctor goes to sleep for six hours. In the original, he sleeps for about nine hours.
* In the Operating Room scene, Chansey retrieves various items for a crying Meowth to replace his missing charm ''(小判, Koban)''. In the dub, the gag is that Chansey is seemingly placing random items that rhyme with some words at the end of his sentences. In the original, it mishears the word ''koban'' and instead gives him objects that rhyme with the word.

Appendix:Metagame terminology

2011-01-25T00:23:57Z

Snowsky: /* Broad terms */

{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}
{| align=right
| __TOC__
|}

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has various '''fanmade terminology''' for battle strategies and techniques.

==Broad terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. These Pokémon are also known as Paraflinchers. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.

Two relatively common Annoyers in [[Generation IV]] are {{p|Jirachi}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}).

There are also parafusers, with the most popular of them being {{p|Rotom}}. They also rely on {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but instead of having {{a|Serene Grace}} they inflict {{status|confusion}}.

===Anti-Leads===
Anti-Leads are Pokémon that are used to counter common [[#Leads|Leads]]. These Pokémon may be carrying a [[Choice Scarf]] to outspeed the opposing expected lead and then carry a super-effective attack. An example of a Pokémon like this is {{p|Weavile}}; it is fast, it can {{m|Taunt|taunt}} to prevent hazards and it can also use a combination of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} and {{m|Counter}} to KO opposing leads. {{p|Gengar}} is another example of this, holding a Focus Sash with {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and other moves to disable Pokémon. {{p|Forretress}} can also be considered an anti-lead, as it commonly carries {{m|Gyro Ball}} which is super-effective on leads such as Weavile and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. It can also deal with hazards set up by {{p|Aerodactyl}} with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and can also break Focus Sashes with this move.

===Aromatherapist===
''See [[#Cleric|Cleric]].''

===Baton Passer===
A Pokémon with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move such as {{m|Swords Dance}} or {{m|Agility}}, or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Raises one or more stats and/or activates one or more of the above moves, then Baton Passes the effects to another Pokémon in the party. Stat boosts are countered by a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo-Hazer (SHazer)|Pseudo-Hazer]]. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who {{a|Speed Boost|gains one level of Speed after each turn}}. A Baton Passer often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use Swords Dance and/or Substitute as well. Ninjask commonly carries Substitute and a [[Liechi Berry]] so that it can Baton Pass four Speed Boosts, a Leichu boost, and possibly a few Swords Dance boosts or a Substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, however only {{p|Smeargle}} can learn both of these moves through {{m|Sketch}}. Pseudo-Hazers that utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} can be evaded by Baton Passing to a Pokémon with {{a|Soundproof}}, however they also cannot receive maneuvers such as {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Perish Song}}.

====Baton Pass Chain====
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself. A good example of a Pokémon that can set this up is {{p|Ninjask}} because of {{a|Speed Boost}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Swords Dance}}.

===Choice User===
This subsection refers to Pokémon that have a hold item that affects in-battle move power or speed with the cost of being able to only use one move until a switch-out or in the event that Pokémon faints.

====Choice Bander====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful physical moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. A Choice Bander usually serves either as a lead or a finisher, due to the sheer power it can dish out. Popular Choice Banders include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Salamence}}.

====Scarf Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful moves and wears the hold item [[Choice Scarf]]. A Scarf Wearer is usually a very powerful Pokémon with subpar speed compared to faster counter Pokémon that might outfight it, or is used on [[#Revenge Killer|Revenge Killers]]. Popular Scarf Wearers include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

====Specs Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful special moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}}. Like a Choice Bander, a Specs Wearer will often lead off with powerful attacks or act as a finisher. Popular Specs Wearers include {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Clause===
Akin to House Rules, Clauses are various rules that fans apply to their battles. Since most player battles are free-for-alls, players usually agree on restrictions for moves, items and [[tiers]]. There also exist several official clauses that are usually applied to Stadium/Colosseum battles in the console connectivity games and [[Battle Tower]] challenges. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] is currently the only official way for players to battle with these clauses enforced by the game.

===Cleric===
A Pokémon that utilizes {{m|Aromatherapy}} or {{m|Heal Bell}} to cure itself and its team members. Clerics are often partnered with {{m|Rest}} users or Pokémon with few means to heal themselves. However, Aromatherapy only appears in the movesets of a number of {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon and the {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Clefable}} families, and {{m|Heal Bell}} does not affect Pokémon with the ability {{a|Soundproof}}. Popular Clerics include Blissey, Clefable and {{p|Celebi}}.

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a Counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks ({{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}) and can defeat it easily with a {{type2|Flying}} attack, such as {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

===Death Fodder===
''See [[#Decoy|Decoy]]''.

===Decoy===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually, a DDer is a fast physical [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

===Dual Screens===
The combination of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}}, improving the team's defenses. {{m|Brick Break}} can be used to break dual screens.

===Endureversal===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy. Popular Endureversal include {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. This strategy is similar to the [[F.E.A.R]] strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}} or {{m|Minimize}} is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}} and {{m|Mud Bomb}}, are more widely accepted. {{m|Acupressure}} and {{a|Sudden Impulse}} can increase the user's evasion, but still do not fall under this clause.

===Flailer===
''See [[#Endureversal|Endureversal]]''.

===Freeze clause===
Two Pokémon on the same team cannot be frozen at the same time. Since {{status|freeze|freezing}} happens randomly, it is only available on games like {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and battle simulators like {{OBP|Pokémon Online|battle simulator}}.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its poor defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (such as {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Rampardos}}). A {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}} is often employed on such Pokémon to make up for their lack of sufficient Speed, but other {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice items}} may also be used.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}, the use of the ability {{a|Serene Grace}} and the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered Hax. One variation of Hax is a Parahax.

===Hazer===
A Pokémon that has a moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Much like a [[#Spiker|Spiker]], it can have any combination of moves along with Haze. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Articuno}}, make good Hazers.

===HM Slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An HM Slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning [[HM]]s and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a [[PC]] box and not part of a general team and is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a {{pkmn|Trainer}} doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning six{{sup|DPPt}} or seven{{sup|HGSS}}, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn five HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

===HP===
Usually used as an abbreviation for "[[Hit Points]]", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the {{type2|Water}}.

===Item Clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same [[held item]] is forbidden. While not enforced by most competitive players, it is enforced in Official Pokémon Competition, and also in-game facilities such as the [[Battle Frontier]] or [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'s [[Colosseum]]s.

===IV Battle===
A level 100 [[Wi-Fi]] battle where the purpose is not actually to battle, but to observe what the Pokémon's stats will look like at level 100, which is the most optimal way to calculate what the Pokémon's IVs are. This is typically done with freshly hatched Pokémon, as EVs don't have to be included in such calculations.

===Lead===
The starting Pokémon of a team. In general, these Pokémon do at least one of two things: set up hazards or prevent the opponent from setting up hazards. Examples of Pokémon that do both are {{p|Aerodactyl}} (with {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}), {{p|Forretress}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}) and {{p|Tentacruel}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}). An example of Pokémon that only set up hazards is {{p|Heatran}} (with {{m|Stealth Rock}}). An example of a lead that only prevents hazards is {{p|Weavile}} (with {{m|Taunt}}).

===Legit===
A shortened form of '''legitimate''', refers to Pokémon that haven't been [[cheating|cheated]] or hacked in any way. This includes acquiring or modifying Pokémon via a [[GameShark]], [[Action Replay]], [[Pokésav]], etc. It is commonly used among players who are trading rare [[Event Pokémon]].

===Level Clause===
All Pokémon used by both trainers should be close to the same level, which is usually 50 or 100. With the advent of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, [[Wi-Fi]] battles are capable of setting Pokémon levels to 50 or 100 (rounding them up or down as necessary), so a Level Clause really only applies to local battles.

===Masuda method===
{{main|Masuda method}}
A technique used to hatch {{Shiny}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages. For example, if the player has a North American game card, and receives a Japanese {{p|Ampharos}} and breeds it with a {{p|Pikachu}} from their own card, the offspring has a much higher chance of being shiny.

===Mono-Team===
A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain [[type]], or even one species. These are more common in Random [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] matches than in serious matches. This is often countered since they can bring in something that has an unadulterated type advantage. For example, one may have a team consisting only of {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, while the opponent may have a {{p|Honchkrow}} with above-average Attack and Speed stats that knows moves such as {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Night Slash}}, used to easily and quickly defeat the all-Ghost team.

===Mono-color===
A way to play using Pokémon of only one color. If a player wanted an all-green team, he or she might choose {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===One-hit knockout move (OHKO moves)===
{{main|One-hit knockout move}}
These are moves that cause immediate fainting when they hit; but their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In [[#Standard rules|Standard rules]], OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

===Pinch Berry===
Any one of the following: {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Lansat}}, and {{b|Starf}}. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name). Petaya, Salac and Liechi are the most commonly used, as extra defense typically isn't very useful when health is that low. Though usually found on {{m|Endure|Enduring}}, {{m|Substitute|Substituting}} or {{m|Belly Drum}}ming Pokémon, {{p|Drifblim}} does well with [[Petaya Berry]] in combination with the {{a|Unburden}} ability.

===Pokes===
Short form for [[Pokémon]]. Used in many forums.

===Pseudo Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and/or {{m|Reflect}} in it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

===Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)===
A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, which is intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A [[#Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)|Shuffler]] can also be a PHazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Perish Song}} or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a PHazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

===Priority Move===
{{main|Priority}}
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. There are different priority brackets.

===Rapid Spinner===
Also called Spinner. A user of the move {{m|Rapid Spin}}, which is used to remove [[entry hazard]]s. Common Rapid Spinners are {{p|Starmie}} and {{p|Tentacruel}}.

===Revenge Killer===
A Pokémon that can switch in after an opponent has knocked out another Pokémon and knock out that opponent. Revenge Killers are often equipped with [[#Priority Moves|Priority Moves]] or a [[Choice Scarf]]. For example, {{p|Weavile}} makes an effective revenge killer due to its high {{stat|Attack}} stat and access to {{m|Ice Shard}}.

===Sashed===
A Pokémon that is holding a [[Focus Sash]], usually a very frail one such as {{p|Dugtrio}} or {{p|Weavile}}, so it can survive a hit.

===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===
A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}} as well as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazing]] and repeating. Often used in tandem with a [[#Spiker|Spiker]] for best results. Countered by a [[#Cleric|Cleric]], or simply by attacking each time they try to PHaze.

===Sleep Clause===
A rule whereby the use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep that is induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] supports the Sleep Clause, and custom rule sets can choose to enforce it or not.

===Sleep Talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a Sleep Talker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}. Though Milotic also has Recover, the Sleep Talker set is sometimes used because of its ability, though generally, moves such as Recover are better.

===Spam===
To use the same move over and over again (e.g. "spamming {{m|Double Team}}").

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and Gorebyss or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team is not. If the Pokémon has many different formes that are very different from each other, such as {{p|Wormadam}} or {{p|Rotom}}, they are still limited by species clause as they share the same Pokédex number (and are thus still of the same Pokémon species). An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

===Spiker===
A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that is the only requirement, there are many variations to Spiker movesets. Effective ones utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

===Spinblocker===
A {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon that is used in order to stop the foe from using {{m|Rapid Spin}} (which doesn't affect Ghost-type Pokémon) to remove [[entry hazard]]s from its side of the field. Notable Spinblockers are {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

===Sponge===
''See [[#Wall|Wall]].''

===STAB===
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}}
Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types (for example, a {{p|Garchomp}} gets STAB for {{type2|Dragon}} as well as {{type2|Ground}} attacks). The ability {{a|Adaptability}} increases STAB's multiplier to 2x.

===Staller===
Much like the [[#Tank|Tank]], this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as {{DL|Status ailment|Poison}}, {{DL|Status ailment|Burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and [[Weather|weather conditions]]) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}} or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a [[#Cleric|Cleric]], the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most competitive battlers. The rules include: No [[tiers#Ubers|Ubers]], no [[cheating|hacks]], no [[One-hit knockout moves|OHKO moves]], [[#Sleep Clause|Sleep Clause]], [[#Evasion Clause|Evasion Clause]] and [[#Species Clause|Species Clause]].

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) Mixed sweepers can also be used as [[#Wall|wall]] breakers which are mixed Sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like {{m|Close Combat}} for {{p|Blissey}} or {{m|Fire Blast}} for {{p|Skarmory}}. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and [[priority]] moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a [[#Wall|Wall]] but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common Tanks are {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. May be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} ({{t|Ghost}} version) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

===Trickbander===
A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}} to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a [[#Tank|Tank]], [[#Annoyer|Annoyer]] or Special [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]]). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In [[Generation IV]], with the introduction of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.

===Trickbracer===
Similar to the [[#Trickbander|Trickbander]], a Trickbracer gives the opponent the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Macho Brace}} instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most [[#Sweeper|Sweepers]] in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way, while the {{a|Klutz}} ability seems to exist so that the Pokémon using Trick doesn't have to suffer the effects of the item they are Tricking to the opponent.

===Type coverage===
Type coverage refers to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are "[[#BoltBeam|BoltBeam]]" (only resisted by a few Pokémon) which is {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, or any combination of {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Ice}} attacks. {{type2|Ghost}}, {{type2|Dark}}, {{type2|Dragon}} and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks have perfect coverage, due to the fact that Ghost- and Dragon-type moves together are all resisted by only Dark- and Steel-types (Dark-types resisting Ghost and Steel-types resisting both). Both of these types are defensively weak to Fighting-type moves, meaning at best, a dual-typed Steel or Dark Pokémon will be neutral to Fighting (at worst, 4x weak). Thus, all currently known Pokémon are at least neutral to these combinations.

===Untouched===
Often abbreviated as ''UT'', it refers to Pokémon that haven't gained any [[Experience]] since they were {{pkmn2|caught|captured}}, [[trade|received]], or {{pkmn|egg|hatched}}. It is commonly used among players who are trading specially {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} or [[Event Pokémon]].

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (for example, a Physical Wall would block Physical attacks).

==Specific sets==
Sets that are only seen on one to several Pokémon or are best known on a single Pokémon.
===Atmacune===
A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Return}} and {{m|Roar}}. Not usable in [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}} because {{m|Curse}} is no longer available in Suicune's movelist due to losing [[TM]] status.

===Bellyzard===
A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}} or {{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. The held item is usually a [[Salac Berry]]. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the [[Salac Berry]] as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical {{type2|Fire}} attack.

===BoltBeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, [[Form differences#Rotom|Frost and Heat]] {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Seaking}} with {{a|Lightningrod}} and {{p|Mamoswine}} with {{a|Thick Fat}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===Breloomurder===
Works with a {{p|Breloom}} that has {{m|Spore}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Substitute}}, and {{m|Facade}}, the {{a|Poison Heal}} ability, while holding a [[Toxic Orb]]. After using Spore, Breloom is free to repeatedly charge and use a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] Focus Punch on the sleeping foe. Furthermore, due to the {{status|poison}} induced by the held Toxic Orb, Facade's attack power is drastically increased, and Breloom's ability heals it every turn. {{m|Seed Bomb}} is sometimes used instead of Substitute to allow the user to hit {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. {{m|Rest}} is often also used. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with [[Generation IV]]'s Attack/Special split. Some counters include a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazer]], a strong Physical {{t|Electric}}- or {{type2|Grass}} attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Heatran}} used in the same team, this works because Celebi covers all of Heatran's weaknesses and Heatran covers all of Celebi's weaknesses. Both of these Pokémon have mixed [[#Wall|Wall]] stats, they can take on both Physical and Special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}} and a {{type2|Steel}} (a combination that resists every type in the game) though these combinations are not as well known.

===ChainChomp===
{{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard Physical [[#Wall|Wall]] by taking advantage of most Physical Walls lacking a good {{stat|Special Defense}} stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

===Crocune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with the moves {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Calm Mind}} and {{m|Surf}}. The ''Cro'' prefix is also used for other Pokémon that work in a similar way, like Crophy and Crotomb.

===Curselax===
A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common user (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't of the {{type2|Ghost}}). Especially useful in a team using {{m|Trick Room}} as the Speed drops become Speed boosts instead.

===F.E.A.R.===
{{main|F.E.A.R}}
A last resort strategy involving a low-level Pokémon (such as {{p|Rattata}}) holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It aims to catch the opponent off-guard when he or she sees the low-level Rattata and attacks. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack, lowering the opponent's HP to 1. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent. There are many variations of this set that can be used by any Pokémon with {{m|Endeavor}} and a priority move. For instance, it has been used by a {{p|Dodrio}} in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a [[List of moves that cause flinching|flinch move]] such as {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}, or a Pokémon holding a [[King's Rock]]. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, giving the foe only a 52% chance to use their attack. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor in [[Generation III]], because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with {{m|Zen Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, Iron Head only available through a [[move tutor]].

===LeadApe===
An {{p|Infernape}} used as a lead. Commonly knowing the moves {{m|Fake Out}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Close Combat}} and holding a [[Focus Sash]]. Infernape is a popular lead for its ability to set up an entry hazard while generally knocking out the opponent's lead and preventing them from setting up Stealth Rock or {{m|Spikes}}. This Infernape set is used with a [[Nature|Naive]] or [[Nature|Hasty]] nature to boost speed while allowing Fire Blast, a [[special move]], and Close Combat, a [[physical move]], to do maximum damage. Generally, all Infernape's [[effort values]] for this set are invested into Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.

===McIceGar===
A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]], {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, and so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}} instead.

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially [[#Skarmbliss|Skarmbliss]]. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, {{m|Hidden Power}} {{t|Ice}} and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb. Generally used with a Naive or Hasty [[nature]], and all [[effort values]] are invested into {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}.

===Pseudo-legendary===
{{main|Pseudo-legendary}}
Any of the following Pokémon: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Sazandora}}. These Pokémon have noticeably high [[stats]] and diverse movepools.

===MixMence===
A commonly used variant of {{p|Salamence}}. It is a [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] that runs one of two movesets that utilize a mixture of strong physical and special attacks.

===PowerKing===
A risky but extremely powerful double-battle strategy requiring three Pokémon and several steps. On the first turn a {{p|Medicham}} with {{a|Pure Power}} and low defenses is sent out with a fast and moderately defensive Pokémon with {{m|Skill Swap}}. The Medicham will be knocked out, but not before Skill Swap is used on it. An [[Nature|Adamant]] {{p|Slaking}} with the moves {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Reversal}}, {{m|Flail}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}} and the item [[Salac Berry]] is sent out in replacement of the Medicham. The second turn is the riskiest turn, as the opponent must attack the Slaking. The Pokémon with Skill Swap must use it on the Slaking and the Slaking must use Endure. At this point, Flail will have a power of 200 with STAB, Reversal can be used against {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, and Shadow Claw can be used to hit {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. A less powerful but less risky version can be done with a {{p|Regigigas}}.

===RestoChesto===
A Pokémon that knows {{m|Rest}} holding a [[Chesto Berry]] in order to immediately wake up after healing. Usually seen on tanks and walls.

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]] and getting Pokémon with better [[IV|IVs]]

===ScarfChomp===
A {{p|Garchomp}} holding the item [[Choice Scarf]], whose speed is multiplied by 1.5.

===Seeder===
Seeders are Pokémon that use {{m|Leech Seed}} to force switches, drain HP to heal themselves, or wear down defensive Pokémon. They are often used with {{m|Substitute}} known as Subseeders. Subseeders are often fast Pokémon that repeatedly use substitute while the opponent is afflicted with leech seed. The healing of leech seed allows them to gain back the health they lost from substitute while the opponent's health is slowly worn down. Examples of Subseeders are {{p|Erufuun}} and {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Skarmbliss===
A combination of {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} used in the same team, which is designed to make use of Skarmory's high Defense stat and numerous resistances, as well as Blissey's high Special Defense stat and extraordinary HP stat. It is very difficult to beat if one is not prepared, so most teams carry a Skarmbliss counter. This combination does not work as well in 4th gen because of the physical/special split. in 3rd gen, Skarmory's weaknesses were special, so Blissey could cover those weaknesses well, and also, Blissey's weakness was physical so Skarmory took that well. Now with the physical/special split, it isn't as reliable.

===SpecsMence===
A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

===Suicide Spiker/Rocker===
A {{p|Forretress}} with the moveset consisting of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Set up all the traps then use explosion so the next Pokémon has to deal with the brunt of the attacks of the spikes taking up to 50% of their HP and being badly poisoned. Works well with a roarer to make all of the opponent's Pokémon suffer.

===Suicide Lead===
A moveset in which the user is equipped with a [[Focus Sash]]. The purpose of this moveset is to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}}, while anticipating an attack that could OHKO the user, but survives with the [[Focus Sash]]. This is a very common moveset for leading {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Subpasser===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}. Although any Pokémon that can learn Baton Pass can pass Substitutes, Pokémon with high HP are preferred so that the Substitute passed will also have a high HP. Subpassing is beneficial as it allows for a Pokémon to have a Substitute with a much higher HP than it could make itself. If such a Substitute is passed to a Wall or Tank, the opponent will have a hard time breaking the Substitute right away, allowing the target to reap the benefits of the Substitute, such as immunity to status effects. Subpasses can also pass defense boosts to make the Substitutes even harder to break, but then that only leaves them one move for attacking, making them very vulnerable to Taunt.

===Subpuncher===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Works best with slower Pokémon as the Substitute may end up being broken the turn it's made if the Subpuncher goes first. Slightly harder to use in Double Battles where the two Pokémon could gang up on the Subpuncher to break the Substitute and hit the Pokémon. Countered by Thick Club Marowak whose Bonemerang usually does enough damage to break the Substitute on the first hit, allowing the second hit to attack the Subpuncher directly. It's also is countered by Technician Ambipom who might break the Substitute on the first hit of Double Hit.

===Sunnybeamer===
A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, or {{m|Moonlight}}, for increased HP recovery

===TechniLoom===
{{p|Breloom}} with its hidden [[ability]], {{a|Technician}}, that knows {{m|Mach Punch}} and {{m|Bullet Seed}}.

===Thunderdancer===
A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

===TyraniBoah===
A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' (or in Tyranitar's case, BoltCrunch) combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A [[cheating|hacked]] {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses they cannot be damaged by normal attacks. However, they can be damaged by [[status ailment]]s, [[weather conditions]], [[entry hazard]]s, {{m|Fire Fang}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Doom Desire}}, [[recoil]], [[Life Orb]], [[Sticky Barb]], [[Black Sludge]], {{a|Rough Skin}}, fixed-damage attacks, after the use of {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Worry Seed}} or {{m|Waterlog}}, and by Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}}, {{a|Teravolt}} or {{a|Scrappy}}.

==Tier==
{{main|Tiers}}
A tier is a list of Pokémon in the metagame selected based on numerous traits, such as how the Pokémon's stats are distributed, its type and moves, and overall ability in battle.

==={{DL|Tiers|Uber}}===
A tier of the metagame, currently the highest there is. It is mostly consisted of legendaries, although not all of them are in the Uber tier. [[Ability|Abilities]] can also be Uber.

===[[Tiers#Over-Used|OU]]===
Over-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is the second highest tier, only surpassed by Uber.

===[[Tiers#Borderline|BL]]===
Borderline. A tier of the metagame. It is the third highest tier, in between OU and UU.

===[[Tiers#Under-Used|UU]]===
Under-Used. A tier of the metagame that is the second lowest, not counting NFE.

===[[Tiers#Never-Used|NU]]===
Never-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is currently the lowest tier to date, not counting NFE. This tier first appeared in Generation III.

===NFE===
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:

* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. There are some Pokémon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as Porygon2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, Porygon-Z. Several other NFE Pokémon became viable, even in OU, with the [[Miracle of Evolution]].

(Japanese: '''シューティー''' ''Shooti'') is a Pokémon Trainer from the [[Unova]] region and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}.

==History==
[[File:Shooti anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Shooti]]
Shooti was introduced in [[BW001]] as a beginning Trainer ready to choose his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After meeting with [[Professor Juniper]], he chose {{tp|Shooti|Snivy}} as his new partner. Shortly after obtaining it, he challenged [[Ash Ketchum]] to a Pokémon battle. He had much interest in battling {{AP|Pikachu}}, a species that is foreign in his region. Because Pikachu could not use any {{t|Electric}} attacks, Shooti easily defeated Ash.

Shooti appeared again at a Battle Club in [[BW010]], where he and Ash had a 5 on 5 battle. He offered to have a [[full battle]] with Ash, which means that he has access to at least 6 Pokémon. His Hatooboo defeated Ash's Oshawott and Tepig in just two hits with its {{a|Super Luck}}-boosted {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Afterwards, Shooti called [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Snivy}} to be so-so, and the rest of his team to be hopeless causes.

==Character==
[[File:Shooti Camera.png|thumb|200px|left|Shooti's camera as seen in [[BW001]]]]
Shooti is a Pokémon photographer, in which he takes photos of Pokémon and places with a green {{wp|digital camera}}. In [[BW010]], he is also shown to possess a [[Xtransceiver]].

He is a quiet individual who prefers to keep his emotions to himself and becomes annoyed by Ash's overly-expressive personality, referring to him as a {{wp|hillbilly}} multiple times. He insults Ash by calling him a weak Trainer.

Despite having just started out as a Trainer, Shooti already implements many strategies in his battling. He has defeated Ash both times that they have battled, despite Ash being a much more experienced Trainer.

Pururiru's known moves are {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Evil Eye}}, and his ability is {{a|Cursed Body}}.}}

Shooti has access to at least another 3 Pokémon, because he offered to have a [[full battle]] with Ash.

==Badges obtained==
This listing is of the [[badge]]s Shooti has obtained:

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Shooti.png|thumb|240px|right|Shooti and his rival, [[Ash Ketchum]]]]
* Shooti is Ash's third [[rival]] whose Japanese name starts with the kana '''シ''' ''shi'', the other two being "''[[Gary Oak|Shigeru]]''" and "''[[Paul|Shinji]]''" respectively.
** Notably "''[[Drew|Shū]]''", the Japanese name of May's rival Drew, also starts with this same letter. This makes Shooti the fourth major rival in the anime who's name starts with a '''シ''' or a variation of it.
* Shooti owns a member from each of the only two Pokémon families in [[Generation V]] that have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Shooti physically resembles [[Paul]].

'''Zoey's Glameow''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミのニャルマー''' ''Nozomi's Nyarmar'') was [[Zoey]]'s first [[Pokémon]] seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also her main Pokémon, similar to the way {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} is to [[Drew]].

==History==
[[File:Zoey glameow young.png|Glameow first meeting Zoey|thumb|250px|left]]
Glameow was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'' when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. It wasn't until the [[DP012|next episode]], however, that it showed just how strong it really was. During the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest, it managed to take out {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Dawn's Buneary]], and [[Jessie]]'s borrowed {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, earning Zoey the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]]. Later on it was revealed that it defeated [[Kenny's Empoleon|Kenny's Prinplup]] as well.

It appeared again in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]'' where it battled a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{AP|Buizel}}, Zoey was attempting to catch. However after an impressive battle it was knocked out by Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}}. In ''[[DP041|The Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' along with {{TP|Zoey|Misdreavus}} it found {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} so they could help Zoey. Later, along with {{TP|Zoey|Shellos|Gastrodon}} it showed Dawn a Double Performance using its {{m|Shock Wave}} with Shellos's {{m|Mud Bomb}} to create a dazzling performance. Then [[Jessie|Jessalina]] appears and uses her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} in a double battle with Glameow and Shellos. Jessalina had some good combinations but was no match for Zoey and was defeated.

Zoey uses Glameow in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest were along with Shellos is used in the first round creating an astonishing performance. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch!]]'', Glameow is used in a battle against Dawn's Buizel to gain its experience in contests.

Zoey used it again to battle [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', but it was defeated by a combination of {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Psywave}}.

Zoey used Glameow in the [[Wallace Cup]]'s semifinal round against {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.

It also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where it was revealed how it was caught by Zoey. She found {{p|Glameow}} abandoned in a box in an alley one cold day. Her parents wouldn't let her keep it, saying she was too young to be a Pokémon Trainer. They told her to take it to a [[Pokémon Center]], but she decided to hide it in a shed and take care of it in secret as well. Zoey and [[Candice]] both raised Glameow together until Zoey became a Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Zoey on her journey as her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it helped Zoey to the Semi-finals alongside her {{p|Gastrodon}}, and in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was a key Pokémon in Zoey's victory in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] final against {{an|Dawn}} and alongside {{p|Gallade}}.

Olesia

Snowsky: /* Pokémon */

[[File:Olesia.png|thumb|Olesia]]
'''Olesia''' (Japanese: '''サナエ''' ''Sanae'') was the [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]''. Her Japanese voice actress is ''[[Yūko Kobayashi]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Amy Birnbaum]].

She runs a [[Pokémon Day Care]] especially for {{p|Wooper}}. She trained all of the Wooper from a nearby pond to follow the beat of a tambourine. After learning that her mother broke her leg, she rushed off and left {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} to take care of her Wooper while she visits her mother.

|desc=Olesia has multiple {{p|Wooper}} which live at her [[Pokémon Daycare]] made especially for Wooper. Her favorite one has a heart-shaped marking on its torso where the top stripe usually would be. One first appeared when {{an|Brock}} had fallen off a ledge and she came to help him, grabbing her Wooper. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} introduced themselves and she showed them her Wooper at at the pond where she teaches them. Ash wants to see her teach them, so she takes a tambourine and starts to bang on it and the Wooper start to sing. Suddenly Olesia gets a phone call saying that her mother has broken her leg, so she leaves the gang in charge.

They turn round and all the Wooper are out of the pond and are causing mischief in the house. Brock gives them some [[food]], which ends up with all the Wooper climbing on top of him. [[Misty's Togepi]] finds the tambourine and leads all the Wooper back to the pond, but the Wooper with the heart marking is missing. Ash and {{an|Misty}} find it in the kitchen but it suddenly jumps out the window and runs into a forest onto a narrow bridge on top of a huge ledge. Wooper then finds [[Team Rocket]] who try to capture it with a [[Poké Ball]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} finds it, after a battle Team Rocket capture it with a net. Wooper is able to break free and defeats their Pokémon and sends Team Rocket blasting off. In the end it is returned to Olesia.

The heart-marked Wooper's known moves are {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Slam}}.}}

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, who evolves into {{p|Golem}} via [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging rocky eyebrows, brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It levitates, though is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a|Sturdy|sturdy body}}. {{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground-type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[caves]], which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is carelessly stepped upon. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground, and will not awaken even if it is stepped upon. In the morning Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex| regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{type2|Rock}}. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude's shiny form resembles a gold nugget.

===Origin===
Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'', earth, and ''dude'', a slang word for a male. It may also be from {{wp|geode}}, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude. ''Isitsubute'' is a combination of 石 ''ishi'', stone, and 礫 ''tsubute'', throwing stones, literally "a stone throwing stones".

'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside with {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type2|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.}}

* Nando shares his two unknown badges with two of {{an|Barry}}'s three unknown badges.
* Unlike other coordinators who tended to wear formal clothing when entering a {{pkmn|Contest}}, Nando's regular contest outfit was simply his regular outfit with a few attachments and he would play a bigger harp.
* Nando is the only male character to make it to the Top 4 of the Sinnoh Grand Festival.
* Nando's outfit draws some parallels to [[Sir Aaron]]'s from the [[M8|eighth movie,]] as they both wear hats, boots, gray pants, a brown pouch around their waists, a dark-colored cape, and have black hair hanging over one eye.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Tepig 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]].
* Tepig has the lowest base stat total of all {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]].
* The Tepig family are the only [[Generation V]] [[starter Pokémon]] to have a [[signature move]], {{m|Heat Stamp}}.
* Tepig is currently the only [[Evolution|unevolved]] {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English name does not contain the letter C.

===Origin===
Tepig is based on a {{wp|Saddleback (pig)|saddleback piglet}}. It and {{p|Chaoboo|its}} {{p|Enbuoh|evolutions}}, as stated by [[Ken Sugimori]], were designed in a Chinese style.

====Name origin====
Tepig may be a combination of "tepid", meaning ''lukewarm'', '"temperature" and "pig".
Pokabu is derived from ぽかぽか ''pokapoka'', warmth circulating through one's body, combined with 豚 ''buta'', pig; or ブー ''bū'', "oink".

==In other languages==
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gruikui - Derived from "grui grui" (french for the pig's oink) and ''cuit'' (cooked).
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Floink

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

2010-12-17T21:16:18Z

Snowsky:

{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}
'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

==References in TV and movies==
* The {{wp|South Park}} episode ''{{wp|Chinpokomon}}'' parodies Pokémon and fad culture in general. The line of toys have additionally made cameos in many subsequent episodes. During the episode Kenny dies of an epileptic seizure as a reference to the banned episode [[EP038]]. The episode additionally heavily parodies the {{pkmn|anime}} and video games to a lesser extent. [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[James]] are both parodied.

* {{wp|Ling-Ling}}, one of the main characters of {{wp|Drawn Together}}, is a direct parody of {{p|Pikachu}}. He mentions that one of his pastimes is [[EP038|giving children seizures]].

* In {{wp|Osmosis Jones}}, when Ozzy tries to stop Drix from leaving Frank's body, one of the germs carries a Pikachu, as a joke on allergies.

* In one episode of {{wp|Arthur (TV Series)|Arthur}} '''Arthur Loses his Marbles,''' Muffy has fifty four Dopémon cards in a pack, in resemblance to Pokémon cards, and with one card a take on a Pikachu called 'Stinkachu.'

* In the movie {{wp|See Spot Run}}, James tells Gordon Smith that he had a nightmare of a Charizard trying to burn him, in resemblance to [[Ash's Charizard]]. James also tells him on what a Pokémon is, as a joke on some people not understanding.

* In an episode of {{wp|Jackie Chan Adventures}}, a franchise called "Gnomekop" appears, which is, Pokémon plus the "G", spelled backwards. It also uses the slogan "Gotta collect 'em all", similar to Pokémon's [[Gotta catch 'em all!]]

* {{wp|Robot Chicken}} has done two sketches spoofing Pokémon.

* {{wp|Hayate the Combat Butler}} features references to numerous anime and manga series, including Pokémon. Pikachu has made background cameos, the pet tiger has referenced Pikachu when assuming himself to be the mascot character and in one episode the cast travel on a plane based on ANA Flights.

He also mentioned {{wp|Thomas the Tank Engine}} in the same episode, another show that stayed fresh over the decades). The episode also aired the same day as the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in the United States.
** In an episode called {{wp|Pokey Mom}}, Pokémon was referenced in which the family is watching an episode of {{wp|Kids Say the Darndest Things}} when the host, {{wp|Bill Cosby}}, is interviewing a guest:

The item returned in ''[[zw:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' where wearing it in certain areas would lead to ''{{zw|Keaton}}'' himself appearing, though this version of the character was revealed to be a {{wp|kitsune}}.

'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside with {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type2|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

This listing is of Nando's known Pokémon:
===On hand===

It also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome Contest.

It helped Nando reach the semi-finals alongside {{p|Sunflora}} and it was revealed in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' that it had evolved into a Roserade.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.}}

It later helped Nando win the {{to|Beach Rose}} {{pkmn|Contest}} prior to ''[[DP105|A Breed Stampede!]]''. While Roserade appears to be Nando's main Pokémon, Kricketune has actually appeared more due to Roserade mostly having brief appearances in later episodes.

During the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it and Lopunny were used in the semi-finals, where they lost to [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}}.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']], during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it faced [[Ash's Heracross]] as Nando's last Pokémon, and eventually lost the match.}}

Kricketot's only known move is {{m|Sing}}{{tt|*|Kricketot cannot learn Sing in the games.}}.

The two were able to put up a good fight against Zoey's {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} during the Semi-Finals. However it wasn't enough against Zoey's highly trained Pokémon and the two had the fewest points by the time the clock ran out.

Lopunny's known moves are {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}.

'''Harley''' (Japanese: '''ハーリー''' ''Harley'') is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and {{an|May}}'s rival from [[Slateport City]].

==History==
Harley first competed against {{an|May}} in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse!]]''. When the two Coordinators met, Harley was annoyed at May for several petty reasons: she was not familiar with his Cacturne, she called Cacturne "scary," and she said the cookies he offered her were "not half bad". Later, the two competed in a {{pkmn|Contest}}, Harley using Cacturne and May using {{TP|May|Bulbasaur|Venusaur}}. During the appeals round, he mentions that he doesn't want anyone to talk during their performance. After that round, in an attempt to publicly humiliate May, Harley played a recording of Max recalling a time when May was younger and she became stuck in water with a swarm of {{p|Tentacool}} and was extremely frightened. May was embarrassed, but went on to defeat Harley.

Harley and May met up again in the episodes ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', and ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. Harley pretended that he was friends with May, and she initially believed him. He gave her "advice" to have her {{TP|May|Skitty}} use its {{m|Assist}} move repeatedly to make a good appeal; this resulted in Skitty becoming confused after using Bulbasaur's {{m|Petal Dance}}, having to {{m|DoubleSlap}} itself out of confusion. Meanwhile, [[Drew]] watched Harley, noticing how he tricked May. Later, May realized Harley's ploy, and soon the two were to battle once again. This time, it was Harley's Cacturne and {{p|Banette}} versus May's {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and Bulbasaur. May won this battle as well, and progressed further into the tournament.

The next time May and Harley met was in [[Saffron City]] during the episodes ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' and ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]''. They met on this occasion in the Pokémon Center where Harley stated he was working as an assistant to Nurse Joy in gratitude for her healing his Cacturne. He stated that he was sorry and that he was working hard to make up for things. All of it was a lie and May nearly couldn’t compete because he "mistakenly" told her that she could use her Hoenn pass to compete. However, [[Lilian Meridian]], the Kanto Contest MC, gave her a Kanto contest pass and ribbon box in thanks for her help in repelling [[Team Rocket]] when they raided the Pokémon Center.

Harley competed in the contest using Cacturne for the appeals and Ariados for the battles. He defeated [[Jessie]] who entered with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, but was defeated himself by May and her {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} in the finals.
[[File:Harley Kanto Ribbons 5.png|thumb|Harley's ribbons from Kanto]]
The next time he appeared was in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', where he competed in the [[Wisteria Town]] Contest, using Ariados in the appeals. He used Ariados's {{m|Spider Web}} to surround the stage with its web, similar to the previous contest. He then asked it to entangle itself with its web and use {{m|Scary Face}}, scaring everyone. He then used his Octillery against May's {{TP|May|Munchlax}} in battle. After utilizing {{m|Octazooka}}, {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Rest}}, he defeated May for the first and only time known so far.

He appeared again in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'' and ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]''. This time after learning that May needed one more ribbon to enter the Grand Festival, he devised a plan to prevent this. To do this, he enlisted the help of Team Rocket, promising to help Jessie win and having James and Meowth help him sabotage May behind the scenes. However Ash, Brock, Max and Drew got wind of this and thwarted his plan.
[[File:Younger Harley.png|thumb|left|Younger Harley]]
In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', it was also mentioned that part of Harley's hate for May came from when a girl who looked like May ate his food when he was younger.

The next time was in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew’d Ya!]]'', ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'', and ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', where he competed against May in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. In the Appeals Round, he used his Banette while dressed up as May, asking himself to be called ''Mayley''. He used Cacturne and Wigglytuff against Munchlax and Eevee, but both defeated his Pokémon.

The final major appearance he had was in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]'' where he simply watched May and Drew have a practice contest battle. At the end of the episode, he revealed that he was also going to compete in Contests in [[Johto]]. He also invited [[Jessie]] to do the same, but she denied, saying she still wanted to stay in [[Team Rocket]]. Because of this, he got mad at her. He then sent out his Cacturne to battle her. As she was searching for a Pokémon to use, Harley asked Cacturne to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, sending Team Rocket flying with Jessie still looking for a Pokémon.

He has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]], and presumably [[Johto]] as well.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he and {{p|Wigglytuff}} appeared in a flashback. Then Harley, [[Solidad]] and [[Drew]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', watching {{an|May}} perform in the [[Wallace Cup]].

Harley tended to use nicknames for May behind her back. The first was ''Meno-chan'' (English equivalent: ''Miss Tent'') after embarrassing her with the Tentacool story. The second was ''Kamo-chan'', referring to the word often used at the end of May's sentences in Japanese that can imply unsureness. In English, he calls her various cutesy pet-names, including "gingerbread-cookie".

==Character==
[[File:Mayley.png|200px|thumb|Harley crossdressing as {{an|May}}]]
Harley has a rather peculiar personality. He is undeniably flamboyant, wearing an outfit similar in appearance to {{p|Cacturne}}. He has very effeminate mannerisms, which include wiggling his hips as he walks and using アタシ ''atashi'', the Japanese feminine version of ''I''. He also has a tendency to use select English words intermixed with his normal Japanese speech; for example, he calls {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and {{p|Banette}} ''my buddies'' or darling, sweeties, and honey and tells {{an|May}} ''good morning''. In the Latin-American dub, this is replaced by using Latin-American slang and allusions to local urban culture; for example, he sings a song by the Mexican showman Juan Gabriel in the Grand Festival, as his {{p|Octillery}} dances in the flames. He talks with a high voice, another sign of effeminacy. Another example of his feminine side is in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' where Harley cross-dresses as May, calling himself "Mayley" (Japanese: ハリカ ''Harleyka''), much to May's embarrassment and [[Solidad]]'s amusement. He is apparently old friends with Solidad, as she said so herself.

Harley is a conniving character with little to no regard for anybody but himself and his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He tends to get personal vendettas against people for the smallest of reasons. His vendetta against May began when she said she had never heard of Cacturne before and that his cookies were "not half bad", but the real reason he started to dislike her was because she looks just like a classmate who stole his last snack when he was a small child. He keeps photos of people that he has grudges against in a notebook. He also tends to inflict humiliation to try to get the better of an opponent, showing sadistic pleasure when he does. This is evident when he pretended to be friends with [[Max]] in order to get him to tell an embarrassing story about May only to record it and play it during a Contest. Finally as evidenced by his contest performances, Harley shows no qualms in using dirty tactics to win.

==Pokémon==
Harley seems to take immense pride in his Pokémon, so much so in fact that he dresses up in clothing modeled after his signature Pokémon, Cacturne. None of Harley's Pokémon share a particular type, but they all have one attribute in common: they can all be quite menacing in contests, even the normally cute Wigglytuff.

Banette debuted during the [[Hoenn]] [[Grand Festival]] in the episode ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'' when Harley used it in double battle against {{an|May}} alongside Cacturne. It reappeared in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'' and ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'' when Harley lent his Banette to [[Jessie]] in an attempt to help her beat May in the final [[Pokémon Contest]] before the [[Grand Festival]] in an attempt to prevent May from entering. Because it was unfamiliar with her, Jessie continued to tell Banette to use {{m|Frustration}}. This eventually resulted in Jessie's loss to May. Harley also used Banette in the [[appeals round]] during the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''.

It also appeared in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'' performing in the appeal round of the [[Wisteria Town]] Contest, and in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Old Lot]]'', where it was borrowed by [[James]] and {{MTR}} and used to sabotage {{an|May}}'s appeal by secretly shooting its {{m|Spider Web|web}} at both her and her {{TP|May|Combusken|Blaziken}} from above the stage.

It battled alongside [[Harley's Cacturne]] against [[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]] and {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, where Harley fully used its capability to expand its rubber-like body. After learning from [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] that Wigglytuff was the Balloon Pokémon, May quickly thought of a plan to utilize this to her advantage. Wigglytuff was eventually defeated by May's Munchlax's {{m|Focus Punch}}, with the help of Eevee.

Wigglytuff was the only one of Harley's Pokémon to appear in {{an|May}}'s flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

Harley's Wigglytuff is rather different from the other Pokémon of this species. It has a purple glare across its face, which is probably an attempt to make Wigglytuff fit the 'evil' stereotype of Harley's Pokémon.

Wigglytuff's known moves are {{m|Body Slam}} and {{m|DoubleSlap}}.}}

'''Kricketune''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロトック''' ''Korotock'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kricketune is a mainly, red cricket-like Pokémon that resembles both a conductor and a stringed instrument. It has gray-colored eyes, black feelers in the shape of a mustache, and a dark-red segment between the ‘mustache’. Kricketune has two small feet, black wings shaped like a conductor's cape, and scythes for hands (similar to {{p|Scyther|Scyther's}}). Its long antennae are shaped somewhat like scythes, and there are three black dots on its lower body with two beige stripes running down its neck to the centermost of the black dots. Below the centermost dot is a pattern with a dark-red upper section and beige lower section.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter "mustache".

====Special abilities====
It can make music by rubbing its arms together. It is also able to use its scythelike foreparts for attacks like {{m|Fury Cutter}}, {{m|Slash}}, and {{m|Night Slash}}.

===Behavior===
It signals its many emotions with the variable melodies it creates. It crosses its knifelike arms in front of its chest when it cries, and can compose melodies ad lib. Kricketune may produce sounds by allowing its cry to resonate in the hollow of its belly.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kricketune anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Kricketune in the anime]]

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', it reappeared alongside Nando's {{p|Lopunny}} in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in his battle against [[Zoey]]. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', Nando used Kricketune, who faced off against [[Ash's Heracross]].

==Trivia==
* Unlike most evolved Pokémon, except in the case of [[baby Pokémon]], it is far more common in the wild than its pre-evolution. This is due to Kricketune being available at all times of day, while {{P|Kricketot}} is only found at night (as well as morning in {{v2|Platinum}}), as well as the low level required for its evolution.
* Despite its Platinum [[Pokédex]] entry, all Kricketune have the same cry.

===Origin===
Kricketune appears to be based on a {{wp|violin beetle}}, as well as {{wp|crickets}} because they make sounds by rubbing their arms on their abdomen. They are also based on music conductors, due to their mustache and their wings resembling capes. It is also shaped somewhat like a {{wp|grandfather clock}}.

====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''cricket'' and ''tune''. Its Japanese name may come from 蟋蟀 ''koorogi'', cricket, and a corruption of 曲 ''kyoku'', tune.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zirpeise - A combination of ''zirpen'' (to chirp) and ''Weise'' (tune).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Melokrik - Combination of ''mélodie'' (melody) and ''criquet'' (cricket)
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 귀뚤톡크 ''Gwittultokkeu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 音箱蟀 ''Yīn Xiāng Shuài'' - Literally "Soundbox/speaker cricket". 蟀 is derived from 蟋蟀 ''Xīshuài'' (cricket).

'''Conway''' (Japanese: '''コウヘイ''' ''Kōhei'') is a recurring character from the {{pkmn|anime}}. His first appearance was in [[DP050|''Tag! We're It!'']] as {{an|Dawn}}'s tag-team partner.

==Characteristics and history==
Conway was shown to be a very smart Trainer. His strategies played an important role in helping himself and {{an|Dawn}} to advance to the finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].

Conway appears again in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' through ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'' during a four-episode arc at a summer school. During this arc he demonstrates his knowledge about Pokémon as well as an [[HeatTagShipping|attraction]] towards Dawn.

His most recent appearance is in episode ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed he is also entering the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', he passed the first round, then in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' he made it through the second and had his third round opponent revealed to be {{Ash}}. He battled Ash and lost in [[DP185]] after almost defeating him thanks to his strategies.

Conway uses very effective strategies, but doesn't improvise much, something that has led to several losses for him. Examples include using {{m|Psychic}} to redirect an attack, using {{m|Protect}} while another Pokémon attacks, and so on.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Conway's known Pokémon:

|desc={{p|Slowking}} is Conway's main Pokémon. When {{an|Dawn}} first meets Conway, Slowking is with him and Dawn thinks both are creepy, but Conway tells her that Slowking has taken a liking to her. On their first battle, Conway tells Dawn to not worry about defense, so her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} uses several moves and Slowking keeps on defending it with attacks like {{m|Safeguard}}. It is later seen again in the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] where it showed off some impressive moves against [[Jessie's Yanmega]].

Slowking's known moves are {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Water Pulse}}.}}

Paul also once commanded his [[Paul's Electivire|Elekid]] to attack Heracross, without any result, however. Heracross was finally taken down by a direct hit from Chimchar's {{m|Flamethrower}}.

'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside with {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type2|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

This listing is of Nando's known Pokémon:
===On hand===

It evolved later into {{p|Roselia}} in the same episode. It appeared again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where it was revealed that it had defeated [[Gardenia's Turtwig]]. It also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome Contest.

It helped Nando reach the semi-finals alongside {{p|Sunflora}} and it was revealed in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' that it had evolved into a Roserade.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.

It later helped Nando win the {{to|Beach Rose}} {{pkmn|Contest}} prior to ''[[DP105|A Breed Stampede!]]''. While Roserade appears to be Nando's main Pokémon, Kricketune has actually appeared more due to Roserade mostly having brief appearances in later episodes.

During the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it and Lopunny were used in the semi-finals, where they lost to [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}}.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']], during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it faced [[Ash's Heracross]] as Nando's last Pokémon, and eventually lost the match.

It made a brief appearance in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' where it had helped Nando get to the semi-finals alongside Kricketune and Roserade in another battle.

The two were able to put up a good fight against Zoey's {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} during the Semi-Finals. However it wasn't enough against Zoey's highly trained Pokémon and the two had the fewest points by the time the clock ran out.

Lopunny's known moves are {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}.

'''Riolu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リオル''' ''Riolu'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} [[baby]] [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Lucario}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]] during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Riolu is a small, blue, dog-like Pokémon. Its legs and torso are colored black. Riolu's tail is blue and it has a yellow collar. There are rounded bumps on the backs of Riolu's forepaws, which could be the beginnings of the spikes on {{p|Lucario}}'s forepaws. Riolu has a black "mask" and red eyes. Like Lucario, Riolu stands on the balls of its feet instead of its entire foot.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Riolu are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura]]. Riolu's evolved form, Lucario, can use these waves to attack, or study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. However, Riolu does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them - albeit only in "ripples" as opposed to the "waves" of energy its evolution can sense and guide. Most notably, it cannot learn {{m|Aura Sphere}} or {{m|Detect}} naturally, two moves that Lucario learns that are often attributed to its aura powers, although through [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], a Level 30 Riolu that knows Aura Sphere can be obtained though a special mission. Riolu does have a remarkably similar movepool to the [[Hitmons]].

Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time.

===Behavior===
Riolu are playful, energetic, and loyal.

===Habitat===
Riolu is incredibly rare in the wild. It's so rare that the general location of Riolu dwellings are fully unknown.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
[[File:Riolu.png|thumb|210px|right|Riolu in the anime]]
==In the anime==
Riolu has made an appearance during ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]'', which aired as a one hour special commemorating the release of [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. This [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] had been trained to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} and was unnaturally strong. It was taken away from the lab by [[J's henchmen]] that wanted to exploit it but Ash and co. returned it to [[Lucario Kingdom|it's kingdom]], with [[Kellyn]]'s help. This Riolu developed a strong bond with Ash.

A Riolu appeared in {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|DP071|Riolu|Ash's Pokédex|Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. When sad or scared, Riolu's [[aura]] becomes stronger as a way of signaling its allies.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In the [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] manga, [[Hiori's Lucario]] used to be a Riolu during [[Hiori|Hiori's]] and [[Lily (Pokémon 7)|Lily's]] childhoods.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Maylene]] is seen to own a Riolu, first seen in {{PAV|32}}. It is seen using {{m|Drain Punch}} against {{adv|Pearl}}'s [[Chimhiko|Monferno]], who {{adv|Platinum}} borrowed in order to fight her. However, in the end, it lost to a well-placed {{m|Mach Punch}} that the girl had perfected by watching slot machines.

In {{PAV|34}}, {{adv|Diamond}} helps protect an egg containing Riolu from two [[Team Galactic|Galactic]]-hired thugs, and after they are defeated, it hatches and is shown to interact with its [[Lucario (Pokémon)|evolved form]].

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] [[Hareta]] gained a Riolu egg in ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]'' which hatched into a Riolu later on in that chapter.

==Trivia==
*Riolu shares a number of traits with {{p|Togepi}}, notably that both are received as {{pkmn|egg}}s from an NPC in the generation of their introduction, and when hatched, cannot breed until they have evolved.
**They both gain a secondary type upon evolution.
**They both evolve through happiness.
**They are the only baby Pokémon to come out in the same generation as at least one evolution.
*Riolu is the only pure {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose evolution is not, as Lucario is {{2t|Fighting|Steel}}.
* Both of Riolu's natural [[Ability|abilities]] have something to do with [[flinch]]ing. {{a|Steadfast}} makes Riolu faster when flinching, whilst {{a|Inner Focus}} protects it from it.
**Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] if Riolu becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}.
*When Riolu became a starter in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} it became the first [[starter Pokémon]] to be unable to be recruited or captured in another game of its trio as it can't be found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Darkness]] without using [[Wonder Mail]].
===Origin===
Riolu appears to be based on the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a jackal.
====Name origin====
Riolu's name is simply Lucario's name with the last two syllables placed in the front and the ''ca'' part taken out altogether.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Riolu
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Riolu
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리오르 ''Rioreu''

'''Zoey's Glameow''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミのニャルマー''' ''Nozomi's Nyarmar'') was [[Zoey]]'s first [[Pokémon]] seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also her main Pokémon, similar to the way {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} is to [[Drew]].

==History==
[[File:Zoey glameow young.png|Glameow first meeting Zoey|thumb|250px|left]]
Glameow was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'' when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. It wasn't until the [[DP012|next episode]], however, that it showed just how strong it really was. During the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest, it managed to take out {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Dawn's Buneary]], and [[Jessie]]'s borrowed {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, earning Zoey the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]]. Later on it was revealed that it defeated [[Kenny's Prinplup]] as well.

Zoey used Glameow again in the [[Wallace Cup]]'s semifinal round against {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.

It also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where it was revealed how it was caught by Zoey. She found {{p|Glameow}} abandoned in a box in an alley one cold day. Her parents wouldn't let her keep it, saying she was too young to be a Pokémon Trainer. They told her to take it to a [[Pokémon Center]], but she decided to hide it in a shed and take care of it in secret as well. Zoey and [[Candice]] both raised Glameow together until Zoey became a Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Zoey on her journey as her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it helped Zoey to the Semi-finals alongside her {{p|Gastrodon}}, and in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was a key Pokémon in Zoey's victory in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] final against {{an|Dawn}} and alongside {{p|Gallade}}.

Animation physics

2010-10-14T01:22:05Z

Snowsky:

{{cleanup}}
'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the {{Pkmn|games}}. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and the {{wp|magic satchel}} theory (the ability to hold innumerable items in one [[bag]]).

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. The anime is generally more focused on telling a story in one or more episodes than focusing on details. The writers will often twist or bend physics so that the plot can unfold the way they want it to. Sometimes these events are a case of oversight; anime physics do not seem unusual unless someone stops to think about how a situation would work in the real world.

==Examples==

===Loose physics===
Some phenomena that appear in the anime (as well as the entire Pokémon canon) are impossible in real-world physics.
* [[Poké Ball]]s change in size and convert Pokémon to and from a plasma-like substance (the Pokémon retains its consciousness in this state).
* Moves like {{m|Water Gun}} are depicted as spitting water, but usually the Pokémon spits much more water than its body could hold.
* In ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', {{p|Hippopotas}} initially doesn't weigh down Team Rocket's balloon, but it does after using {{m|Sand Tomb}}. This means the move creates the sand out of nothing.
* Nearly everything explodes in the anime. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so. (even, and some would say especially, inert, non-volatile substances such as leaves or water)
**In contests, almost every move will explode and send a shower of sparkles down into the crowd.
**Some moves explode when they clearly cannot, such as a {{m|Bite}} attack.
**Sometimes moves are amplified in power and even made to explode just to enable them to blast off [[Team Rocket#In the anime|Team Rocket]].
* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating.
** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation. And example is in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. Barry has his Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Pump}} a few seconds before Ash's Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and they clash in the exact middle of the battlefield. This could just mean that that Flamethrower accelerates much quicker, but before the attacks even collide, Jessie gets in several lines of dialogue.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.
** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode.
* Pokémon often disobey Newton's Third Law: Attacks, such as Hyper Beam, that blast the target backwards do nothing of the sort to the user. This is especially notable with flying or levitating Pokémon; they can't even brace themselves against the ground.
* In ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', Team Rocket's Mime Jr. can be seen running on top of Wobbuffet while staying in place. This would be impossible because then Mime Jr. would run in Wobbuffet's inertial reference frame and increase speed in respect to Wobbuffet.
* Whenever Team Rocket has prop decoys such as a fake building to hide away from pursuers, the building always decreases in height after it falls so that the pursuers are not crushed.

===Magic satchels===
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags or pockets, especially Brock, from a sleeping bag to the things he uses to cook.
*In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40–50 sketch books to show Professor Oak and then puts them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.

===Move and type effectiveness errors===
* Many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it will cause damage.
** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[M03|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[M10|Maurice's Torterra]]). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since [[EP005|Pikachu received a power up]], it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect Ground-types.
*** Since the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Electric-type attacks have been consistently shown to have no effect on Ground-type Pokémon.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} attacked and damaged [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG173|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* In multiple instances, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, despite being a {{type2|Ghost}} attack.
* Pokémon surviving [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO]] attacks, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting.
* Some non-damaging attacks cause damage to the Pokémon being attacked, such as [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] using {{m|Tail Whip}}, and [[Pyramid King Brandon#Dusclops|Brandon's Dusclops]] using {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
** In the case of the latter, it affected [[Ash's Charizard]], which should normally be unaffected by Will-O-Wisp due to it being a {{type2|Fire}}.
*{{m|Sing}} and {{m|GrassWhistle}} have been used in Contests without making the audience, the Coordinator, or anyone else fall asleep.
* {{m|Safeguard}} has been able to protect against attacks instead of status problems.
* {{type2|Ice}} attacks have a much higher chance to freeze the opponent than 10%.
* In a Contest battle, a Pokémon move that would normally affect all Pokémon on the field only affects the foe's Pokémon. For example, during Zoey and Nando's Contest battle in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', Nando's Kricketune used [[Bug Buzz (move)|Bug Buzz]], hurting Zoey's Leafeon, but not Nando's Lopunny.

===Other conflicts with the games===
* The weight of some Pokémon is sometimes ignored in the anime:
** {{Ash}} was able to pick up {{TP|Ash|Larvitar}} despite it weighing more than [[List of Pokémon by weight|150 lbs (70 kg)]], according to game data. {{p|Hippopotas}} is also similar, due to the fact that there are 109 lbs (49 kg) of weight is bearing down on Ash's head and neck. Someone of similar stature in the real world would be prone to serious (if not irreparable) head, back, and/or neck injuries. Similarly, {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Beautifly}} has often landed on people's heads with no adverse effects despite the species weighing 62 lbs (24 kg).
** In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', Jessie picks up [[May's Munchlax]] and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100kg). On another note of this, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', [[Max]] was able to carry it on his back despite Munchlax weighing around four times as much as Max.
* The anime often makes Pokémon bigger than the games say they are, like {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.
* In the anime, certain {{type2|Water}} Pokémon like {{p|Carvanha}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} can't be used by trainers without being in water when [[Pokémon Battle|battling]], unlike how they seem to "float" over the ground in the games, specifically the 3D games.

Animation physics

Snowsky:

{{cleanup}}
'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the {{Pkmn|games}}. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and the {{wp|magic satchel}} theory (the ability to hold innumerable items in one [[bag]]).

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. The anime is generally more focused on telling a story in one or more episodes than focusing on details. The writers will often twist or bend physics so that the plot can unfold the way they want it to. Sometimes these events are a case of oversight; anime physics do not seem unusual unless someone stops to think about how a situation would work in the real world.

==Examples==

===Loose physics===
Some phenomena that appear in the anime (as well as the entire Pokémon canon) are impossible in real-world physics.
* [[Poké Ball]]s change in size and convert Pokémon to and from a plasma-like substance (the Pokémon retains its consciousness in this state).
* Moves like {{m|Water Gun}} are depicted as spitting water, but usually the Pokémon spits much more water than its body could hold.
* In ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', {{p|Hippopotas}} initially doesn't weigh down Team Rocket's balloon, but it does after using {{m|Sand Tomb}}. This means the move creates the sand out of nothing.
* Nearly everything explodes in the anime. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so. (even, and some would say especially, inert, non-volatile substances such as leaves or water)
**In contests, almost every move will explode and send a shower of sparkles down into the crowd.
**Some moves explode when they clearly cannot, such as a {{m|Bite}} attack.
**Sometimes moves are amplified in power and even made to explode just to enable them to blast off [[Team Rocket#In the anime|Team Rocket]].
* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating.
** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation. And example is in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. Barry has his Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Pump}} a few seconds before Ash's Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and they clash in the exact middle of the battlefield. Before the attacks even collide, Jessie gets in several lines of dialogue.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.
** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode.
* Pokémon often disobey Newton's Third Law: Attacks, such as Hyper Beam, that blast the target backwards do nothing of the sort to the user. This is especially notable with flying or levitating Pokémon; they can't even brace themselves against the ground.
* In DP170, Team Rocket's Mime Jr. can be seen running on top of Wobbuffet while staying in place. This would be impossible because then Mime Jr. would run in Wobbuffet's inertial reference frame and increase speed in respect to Wobbuffet.
* Whenever Team Rocket has prop decoys such as a fake building to hide away from pursuers, the building always decreases in height after it falls so that the pursuers are not crushed.

===Magic satchels===
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags or pockets, especially Brock, from a sleeping bag to the things he uses to cook.
*In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40–50 sketch books to show Professor Oak and then puts them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.

===Move and type effectiveness errors===
* Many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it will cause damage.
** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[M03|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[M10|Maurice's Torterra]]). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since [[EP005|Pikachu received a power up]], it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect Ground-types.
*** Since the beginning of the [[Diamond and Pearl series]], Electric-type attacks have been consistently shown to have no effect on Ground-type Pokémon.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} attacked and damaged [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG173|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* In multiple instances, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, despite being a {{type2|Ghost}} attack.
* Pokémon surviving [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO]] attacks, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting, although this can be attributed to the attacks failing to work.
* Some non-damaging attacks cause damage to the Pokémon being attacked, such as [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] using {{m|Tail Whip}}, and [[Pyramid King Brandon#Dusclops|Brandon's Dusclops]] using {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
** In the case of the latter, it affected [[Ash's Charizard]], which should normally be unaffected by Will-O-Wisp due to it being a {{type2|Fire}}.
*{{m|Sing}} and {{m|GrassWhistle}} have been used in Contests without making the audience, the Coordinator, or anyone else fall asleep.
* {{m|Safeguard}} has been able to protect against attacks instead of status problems.
* {{type2|Ice}} attacks have a much higher chance to freeze the opponent than 10%.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') 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|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}}es. 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 to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries.
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers.

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

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia's garchomp.png|thumb|210px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
[[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!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', and appearing briefly in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

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!]]''.

===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==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games and anime, is a Garchomp.

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

==Trivia==
* Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendary evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* 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 speed, roughly 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}}. This might indicate that such claims are simply rumors. However, Garchomp can fly at the speed of sound.
* Of all five [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[level]] 100, with a maximum of ''only'' 394.
** It is also the fastest among the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a maximum {{stat|Speed}} of 333.
** It also has the highest HP among the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a maximum {{stat|HP}} of 420.

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

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knakrack - From ''knacken'' (to crack) and ''Racker'' (rascal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carchacrok - From ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'', scientific name of sharks, and ''croquer'' (to bite).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 한카리아스 ''Hankariaseu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈咬陸鯊 ''Liè Yǎo Lù Shā'' - Literally "Violent biting land shark". Contains 陸鯊 (land shark) like the Chinese name of its pre-evolutionary form, 圓陸鯊 ''Yuán Lù Shā'' (Gible) and 尖牙陸鯊 ''Jiān Yá Lù Shā'' (Gabite).

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round toe-less feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes, similar to that of {{p|Mew}}, with deep black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

====Gender differences====
Celebi is genderless, but a {{pkmn2|shiny}} one is referred to as female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Special abilities====
Celebi's main ability is the power to travel through time. Celebi also can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to {{p|Meganium}}). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Psychic}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Celebi, like {{p|Mew}}, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, not wanting to show themselves despite their power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine exactly how many Celebi exist. Celebi also is very protective of itself, others and its home. For this reason, it has been referred to by some as a guardian of the forest. Celebi has also been shown to have the power of bringing the dead back to life.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and voice of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Celebi feed on berries.

==In the anime==
[[File:Celebi anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Celebi in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Celebi (movie 4)]]====
Celebi first appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young [[Sam]] along with it accidentally. The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. {{Ash}} and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

====Other====
Celebi also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', the Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]] accompanied {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in helping the Pokémon.

A Celebi will appear in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''. Due to it appearing on the promotional poster, it is likely that it will have a central role, and will be appearing alongside {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Celebi appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

Celebi makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Celebi appeared in another fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Emerald}}
{{Animedexbody|AG155|Celebi|May's Pokédex|Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi wanders across time as guardian of the forest. Wherever it appears, trees and grass flourish.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Emerald}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pryce]] aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga. He failed numerous times throughout his reign (lacking a [[GS Ball]] that would allow him to properly capture it), and would injure himself on each day of the month in which Celebi would show itself in the Ilex shrine, so {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}} took this opportunity to steal his [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]] items and escape.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{adv|Ruby}} is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], to prevent them from ever controlling {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} again. Then, it revived [[Norman]], [[Steven Stone|Steven]], and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future. It left Ruby's side right afterwards, and upon waking up two days later and glancing into the now-empty Poké Ball that once contained the time-traveling Pokémon, Ruby realizes that this was the reason Celebi was with him the whole time.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Celebi Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
*Unlock all 25 characters
*Unlock all 29 stages
*Beat all 51 events
*Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)

It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the [[Poké Ball]] will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops trophies.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
*[[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Celebi is in a [[Ranger Net]] mission. In the mission, the player must capture the Celebi to save it from the [[Go-Rock Squad]]. It is found wandering in [[Lyra Forest]].
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|A shiny Celebi]] is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline.

==Trivia==
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in the [[Johto]] [[Pokérap GS|Pokérap]].
* In a deleted scene of the movie ''{{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}},'' a person in a Celebi suit can be seen dancing.
* Celebi is notably the hardest Pokémon to obtain, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside of Japan.
* Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}}, all of which are part {{type2|Grass}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the main series.
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] by the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and {{OBP|Celebi|movie 4}} became a co-star of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' with {{p|Suicune}}.
* Celebi's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] are the same: 251. This makes it one of fifteen Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing. The other fourteen are all members of the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary families and the [[legendary beasts]].

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}}, {{wp|dryad}}, or the {{wp|Kodama (spirit)|kodama}}. Its fierce protectiveness for its forest home resembles that of of the {{wp|Curupira}}. It may have been based on the Dr. Seuss story, ''{{wp|The Lorax}}''. The story is about a small creature, known as the Lorax, who spoke for the trees and tried to protect them as well as the environment from being destroyed by industrialization. Its feminine, fairy-like appearence as well as its color scheme is very similar to {{wp|Tinker Bell#Disney version|Disney's Tinker Bell}}.

====Name origin====
There are many theories as to the origin of Celebi's name. It may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being'', or it may be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''.

There is also the possibility its name originates from "cerebral", referring to its psychic powers.

It may have orginated from from earth goddess ''{{wp|Cybele}}''.

'''Dig Those Diglett!''' (Japanese: '''ディグダがいっぱい！''' ''Full of {{tt|Digda!|Diglett!}}'') is the 31st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 1997 and in the United States on October 19, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

While journeying through a mountainous region, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} and [[Team Rocket]] hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of {{p|Diglett}} inhabiting the area are responsible in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker says that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; conveniently, [[Gary Oak]] chooses this moment to make one of his appearances. Nevertheless, the attempts of the invited trainers fall flat, as their [[Pokémon]] possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively, during a typical ambush on Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are soundly defeated by the Diglett and Dugtrio as Arbok uses dig to go underground, with Weezing following along.
The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.

== Major events ==
* [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Ekans}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.
* [[James]]'s {{p|Koffing}} evolves into {{TP|James|Weezing}}.
* {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} meet {{Gary}} for the first time (US version).

* {{p|Pidgey}}
* {{p|Rattata}}
* {{p|Diglett}} (debut; multiple)
* {{p|Dugtrio}} (debut; multiple)

== Trivia ==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a Pokémon can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and later, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.
* This is the second episode where a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Unlike [[Nastina]], however, the construction worker realizes why the Diglett are interfering with him, and cancels the dam.
* It is likely that, for the same reason {{Ash}} attempted to send out {{AP|Squirtle}}, one of the Pokémon {{Gary}} was trying to send out was his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} (or {{p|Squirtle}} or {{p|Wartortle}}, as it was never revealed exactly how long it took Gary's Squirtle to evolve).
* Team rocket was [[breaking the fourth wall]] again, when they first revealed their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing were being shown "for the first time on TV".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.

=== Errors ===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the pond where Ash, Misty, and Brock were bathing in was emptied out by the Diglett, the Diglett are heard saying their original Japanese name "Digda".

=== Dub edits ===
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* Originally, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates if the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons.
* The kanji for the Hot Spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because Beauty and the Beach (the first meeting between Gary and Misty and Brock) was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version instead of "Sir".
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their trainers in leaving the balls, Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

'''Kirlia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キルリア''' ''Kirlia'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation III]].

It evolves from {{p|Ralts}} starting at [[level]] 20. It can either evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}} starting at [[level]] 30, or, if male, into {{p|Gallade}} when exposed to radiation from a [[Dawn Stone]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kirlia has a white body and looks as if it's wearing a tutu. Kirlia has skinny, green legs. Kirlia's hair doesn't block its eyes as much as {{p|Ralts}}'s hair does. Kirlia's hair has bangs that reach down to its shoulders and the two red horns have shifted their position, making them look like hair pins.

====Gender differences====
Kirlia has no physical gender differences, but its evolutionary pattern can depend on gender: only a male Kirlia can evolve into a {{p|Gallade}}, although Kirlia of both genders may become {{p|Gardevoir}}.

===Special abilities===
Kirlia's abilities are mostly about the same as Ralts's are, only stronger. Whenever Kirlia uses its {{t|Psychic}} abilities, the space around it becomes distorted, creating mirages of nonexistent scenery. Kirlia also has the power to see into the future and create a rip in the dimensions.

===Behavior===
Kirlia's beauty is said to grow whenever it receives positive feelings from its Trainer. Kirlia like to dance during sunny mornings.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kirlia anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Kirlia in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Kirlia first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. [[Butler]] used the Emotion Pokémon for a magic act and to fight {{p|Absol}}.

Elijah used a Kirlia in a movie for ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. The Emotion Pokémon had a "damsel-in-distress" role for the movie it was used in.

Kirlia also appeared in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' as well as its evolved form, Gardevoir. Both of them sent [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying when the Rocket Trio cornered [[Max]] and [[Ash's Snorunt]] while they were hurrying to send Ralts to the [[Pokémon Center]]. However, Kirlia and Gardevoir thought that Max was also stealing Ralts, too. When Ralts blocked Kirlia and Gardevoir's {{m|Psychic}}, all hostilities were ignored and the two other Psychic Pokémon left. Kirlia and Gardevoir appeared once more at the near-end of the episode to send James flying (Ralts already launched Jessie and Meowth for posing themselves as a Gardevoir and Kirlia).

===Minor appearances===
A Kirlia was living in an abandoned mining colony in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] fell in love with the Emotion Pokémon.

Two Kirlia appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]''. One appearing in a flashback, being one of [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]]'s stolen Pokémon, and the other used by Melodi so Ash and his friends can find out where Pokémon Hunter J and [[J's henchmen|her minions]] will strike next after [[Ash's Pikachu]], Melodi's Gardevoir and Team Rocket's Meowth were stolen.

Kirlia made an appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon attacked by {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} and having nightmares. [[Alicia]], [[Alice]]'s grandmother, treated Kirlia and woke it up, along with {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Luxray}}.

[[Zoey]] was shown to have caught a Kirlia in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]''.

An unknown Coordinator's Kirlia appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''

==Trivia==
*Kirlia shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Mesprit}}. They are both known as Emotion Pokémon.
*Kirlia's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 158. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
*Although Kirlia can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by breeding, it can't learn it by TM.
*Despite what several [[Pokédex]] entries imply, Kirlia's [[happiness]] has no bearing on its stats.
===Origin===
Kirlia resembles a {{wp|ballerina}}.
====Name origin====
Kirlia's name is derived from ''{{wp|Kirlian photography}}'', a special way of taking pictures that supposedly reveals psychic energy auras around subjects.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kirlia
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kirlia
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 킬리아 ''Kirlia''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 奇魯莉安 ''Qí Lǔ Lì Ān'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. May also come from "kirlian". 莉安 ''Lì Ān'' is also a girl's name.

Gardevoir also has spikes to the side of its face, and a band of green extending on its chest to the centermost fin.

==Trivia==
* Out of the three original stages of {{p|Ralts}}, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed in the English version.
* Despite its human-like appearance, it isn't in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group.
* In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Gardevoir displays the ability of levitation/flight. With the {{a|Trace}} ability, this is possible by copying {{a|Levitate}}. It may also be the result of Gardevoir's ability to ignore normal gravitational pull and float using its psychic abilities.
* Gardevoir's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 159. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Although Gardevoir can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by breeding, it can't learn it by TM.

===Origin===
Gardevoir resembles a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to ''anesama ningyou'', a style of traditional Japanese paper doll. Considering its protective nature to its trainer, it could also be based on a guardian angel. Its apperance and ghost like characteristics could be based off of the spirits of those who have passed on that refuse to leave this world.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir's name may be a combination of ''garde'' (French for "guard") and ''devoir'' (French for "duty"). This is reflected on its Pokédex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life. Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("come, knight") or 'Sir Knight'.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Guardevoir
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gardevoir
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디안 ''Guardian''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 沙奈朵 ''Shā Nài Duǒ'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

Gardevoir also has spikes to the side of its face, and a band of green extending on its chest to the centermost fin.

==Trivia==
* Out of the three original stages of {{p|Ralts}}, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed in the English version.
* Despite its human-like appearance, it isn't in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group.
* In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Gardevoir displays the ability of levitation/flight. With the {{a|Trace}} ability, this is possible by copying {{a|Levitate}}. It may also be the result of Gardevoir's ability to ignore normal gravitational pull and float using its psychic abilities.
* Gardevoir's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 159. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Although Gardevoir can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by breeding, it can't learn it by TM.

===Origin===
Gardevoir resembles a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to ''anesama ningyou'', a style of traditional Japanese paper doll. Considering its protective nature to its trainer, it could also be based on a guardian angel. Its apperance and ghost like characteristics could be based off of the spirits of those who have passed on that refuse to leave this world.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir's name may be a combination of ''garde'' (French for "guard") and ''devoir'' (French for "duty"). This is reflected on its Pokédex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life. Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("come, knight") or 'Sir Knight'.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Guardevoir
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gardevoir
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디안 ''Guardian''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 沙奈朵 ''Shā Nài Duǒ'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

*Prior to the release of Diamond and Pearl, Chatot was believed to be the first naturally pure {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon.
*Although Chatot's tail very closely resembles a metronome, it cannot learn {{m|Metronome|the move of the same name}}.
**However, the move Metronome is known as "Wag Finger" in Japan, and it's tail clearly isn't a finger.
*Chatot is the only Pokémon whose cry is not altered when it faints or is sent out with a status condition.
*Chatot is widely considered to be a [[novelty Pokémon]], due to it being comparatively weaker when compared to other Flying-types and whose inclusion in the game simply seems to make use of the [[Nintendo DS]] microphone for its {{m|Chatter}} attack.
**Chatot is also the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn, or even use, Chatter.
*Despite a significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stat, Chatot awards EV points in Attack.
*In [[Platinum]], a person in [[Eterna City]] will trade a Chatot in return for a {{p|Buizel}}, and the Chatot's nickname is Charap, a mixture of the English and Japanese versions of its name.
*Chatot's color palette was changed slightly in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to {{p|Torterra}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Stunky}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.
===Origin===
Chatot closely resembles a {{wp|Masked Lovebird}}, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a small version of a {{wp|Blue-and-Yellow Macaw}}. Its head looks like an {{wp|eighth note}}, and its tail resembles a {{wp|metronome}}. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.
====Name origin====
Chatot's name comes from {{wp|chat}} and {{wp|parrot}}. Chatot's Japanese name comes from the words {{wp|parrot}} and {{wp|rap}}. The name could also come from the Japanese word ぺらぺら ''perapera'', which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Plaudagei - From ''plaudern'' (chat) and ''Papagei'' (parrot).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pijako - Probably from ''Jacquot'', a familiar or cliché word used to refer to parrots.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 페라페 ''Perape''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 聒噪鳥 ''Guā Zào Niǎo'' - Literally "Clamorous/noisy bird".

The '''Forbidden Forest''' (Japanese: '''禁断の森''' ''Forbidden Forest'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]] reserve. It is where {{an|May}} caught her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur|Venusaur}}.

No humans are allowed in the Forbidden Forest. The folk of the nearby village try to keep travelers out. A {{p|Venusaur}} is the 'boss' of the Forest.

The reason why no humans are allowed in the forest is that long ago, too many people came to capture the Grass Pokémon that lived there, so they became hostile toward humans and the people of the village permanently sealed off the area with a huge wooden fence.

May was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and was dropped into the forest. While exploring the forest, May met a Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. It warmed up to her and defended her against the other Grass Pokémon, who saw her as a threat. When May left the forest, Bulbasaur decided to go with her.

==Trivia==
*Coincidentally, the wizard school, [[wp:Hogwarts|Hogwarts]], in the famous [[wp:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]] series of books and films, contains a dangerous forest known as "The Forbidden Forest".
**There also is a dungeon level in the Nintendo Gamecube game, {{zw|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}, that is also named Forbidden Forest.

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

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==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 accentuations of yellow, black, white and red. Additionally, Armaldo’s eyes, like its pre-evolution, extend from the sides of its head. Hower, 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.

===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:Armaldo anime.jpg|thumb|right|Armaldo in the anime]]
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.

Another Armaldo made an appearance in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]''.

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

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

Another Armaldo is set to appear in [[DP183]], under the ownership of Nando.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: An Armaldo serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}}, back when the latter was 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 they 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.
*Somewhat uncommonly, Armaldo's Speed stat decreases when it evolves from {{p|Anorith}}.
*Armaldo, its pre-evolution {{p|Anorith}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Castform}} are the only non-Water-type Pokémon which learn {{m|Water Gun}} by levelling up.

===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}}''.

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]].

==Biology==
Totodile is the first form of the Feraligatr evolutionary line. Despite their small size, Totodile are very powerful, especially underwater.
===Physiology===
Totodile look like small, bipedal blue crocodiles (similar to its evolved forms) with red spines on their back and tail, the one on their back being larger with additional ridges next to the back spines. Totodile’s head is large, with crocodilian ridges above its eyes, and much of the head’s size is composed of Totodile’s snout and strong jaws. There are two visible teeth on the tip of its upper jaw, and two rows of three teeth on each side of its lower jaw. Totodile’s mouth is often depicted open. On Totodile’s chest is a yellow, somewhat V-shaped pattern that extends to Totodile’s arms, with a line bisecting the pattern at the middle. Totodile have five sharp claws and three toes. Totodile’s eyes have red irises, and there is a dark-colored pattern around the eyes that is depicted as either dark-blue or black.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Totodile have a powerful set of jaws for a Pokémon its size. Just a playful nip can be painful, it can also {{m|Ice Fang|bite with ice cold fangs}}. Like the other {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon, the power of Totodile's Water-type attacks get stronger {{a|Torrent|when in a pinch}}.

===Behavior===
Totodile have a habit of {{m|Bite|biting}} anything they see, including their trainers. It is unwise to turn one's back on a Totodile. Totodile also have a genuine playfulness about them, they are always ready for a good laugh. There is a tough side to Totodile though, as they can quickly react to difficult situations in a battle and bounce back with {{a|Torrent|boosts of their water-type moves}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Totodile live close to the water. Being reptilian, they prefer tropical climates and are typically found around large rivers and ocean shores.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to their strong jaws and sharp teeth, it is most likely that they are a carnivorous species.

In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', [[Khoury]]'s Totodile would not eat its food but {{an|Brock}} crushed up some [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]] and Totodile would eat it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Totodile anime.png‎|right|thumb|250px|Totodile in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Totodile]]====
Ash later captured a Totodile in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', after battling for it with {{an|Misty}}. Ash's Totodile, who had a very playful personality, remained with him throughout Ash's [[Johto]] adventures, before being left in [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's laboratory|lab]].

====Other====
A Totodile that belonged to [[Professor Elm]] went missing in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. That Totodile found [[Team Rocket]] and chomped down on [[Jessie]]'s hair. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|co.}} managed to get the Totodile back to Prof. Elm.

Another Totodile appeared in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', under the ownership of [[Khoury]]. It made subsequent appearances in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'' and then later in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' where it evolved into a {{p|Croconaw}}.

===Minor appearances===
{{jo|Marina}} has a {{p|Feraligatr}} nicknamed [[Wani-Wani]] that evolved from a Totodile that she received from Prof. Elm in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

A Totodile appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

Totodile had a minor role in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' alongside the other [[Starter Pokémon#Johto|Johto starters]], {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Silver}} stole a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Totodile was the only Gold/Silver/Crystal Starter to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.
====Trophy information====
Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Totodile will sometimes come down on a rope to replace the egg on the Ruby Field in place of {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

==Trivia==
*Totodile is the tallest of all the {{type2|Water}} starters' base forms.
**In addition, it is also the heaviest of the Water-type starters' base forms.
*Totodile, along with {{p|Turtwig}}, is one of two starters which evolve at level 18, the highest level for a starter Pokémon to evolve.
**This might be based off the fact that in real life, baby alligators/crocodiles have a very hard time of surviving to adulthood.
*Totodile is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Dragon Claw}} by breeding.
*In what appears to be an error, the spikes on {{shiny2}} Totodile's front sprite are colored red instead of blue in {{game|Emerald}}.
*In the anime, Totodile's cry is similar to the voice of Donald Duck.
===Origin===
Totodile is based on a baby crocodile.
====Name origin====
Totodile's name is a combination of the words ''tot'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鰐の子, child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130. Both are also part of a
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Scizor's Diamond and Pearl sprite is colored a lighter red than its Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===

==In the anime==
[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130. Both are also part of a
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Scizor's Diamond and Pearl sprite is colored a lighter red than its Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

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

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130. Both are also part of a
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Scizor's Diamond and Pearl sprite is colored a lighter red than its Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨鉗螳螂 ''Jù Qián Táng Láng'' - "Giant pincers mantis".

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

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

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Image:Green_Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|Scizor in Adventures]]
Scizor is first seen in {{PAV|9}} under the control of {{adv|Blue}}, having evolved from his {{p|Scyther}} prior to the events of the volume. He brings it on his journey to the [[Sevii Islands]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will also jump around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130. Both are also part of a
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Scizor's Diamond and Pearl sprite is colored a lighter red than its Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨鉗螳螂 ''Jù Qián Táng Láng'' - "Giant pincers mantis".

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

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

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Image:Green_Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|Scizor in Adventures]]
Scizor is first seen in {{PAV|9}} under the control of {{adv|Blue}}, having evolved from his {{p|Scyther}} prior to the events of the volume. He brings it on his journey to the [[Sevii Islands]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will also jump around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Scizor's Diamond and Pearl sprite is colored a lighter red than its Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨鉗螳螂 ''Jù Qián Táng Láng'' - "Giant pincers mantis".

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|250px|Scizor in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

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

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Image:Green_Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|Scizor in Adventures]]
Scizor is first seen in {{PAV|9}} under the control of {{adv|Blue}}, having evolved from his {{p|Scyther}} prior to the events of the volume. He brings it on his journey to the [[Sevii Islands]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will also jump around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
*Scizor is the only {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability [[Intimidate (ability)|Intimidate]].

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨鉗螳螂 ''Jù Qián Táng Láng'' - "Giant pincers mantis".

===Origin===
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}} or {{wp|lizard}}. Its design shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of lizard that blends in with plant-like appendages, and can also climb up flat surfaces.
====Name origin====
Treecko's name is made up of the words ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.

''Kimori'' is a combination of 木 ''ki'', tree, and either 森 ''mori'', forest, or ヤモリ ''yamori'', gecko.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Moltres takes the form of a large bird with flame-colored plumage, resembling a phoenix. Its dazzling wings and elaborate head crest appear to be covered with flames. It has a straight, pointed brown beak, which is the same color as its feet. Compared to the other legendary birds, it has the smallest feet and legs. However, it is the largest of the legendary birds, but its feathers make up a good portion of its bulk.

====Gender differences====
Moltres is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Moltres flaps its wings, it creates a brilliant flash of flames. It is also one of the few Pokémon known to naturally wield the very powerful Flying-type move {{m|Sky Attack}}.

===Behavior===
Moltres is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto, and is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. Its behavior is largely clandestine, but it appears to migrate to the south during the springtime. There are many folktales surrounding this species, but perhaps the most popular is that its appearance will bring about an early spring. When Moltres flaps its wings, it sheds hundreds of tiny embers. It is believed that these embers have healing properties. If injured, it will immerse itself in lava to heal.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Moltres appear to live in hot regions, particularly active volcanoes. They are spectacularly rare. Moltres have been sighted on {{ka|Victory Road}} and near the [[Sevii Islands]]. One has been recently sighted, [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]]. Another, possibly the one from Victory Road, lives in [[Mt. Silver]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Moltres movie.png|thumb|right|240px|Moltres in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
===Major appearances===
{{mov|Moltres|Moltres|2}} made its first true appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}}.

===Minor appearances===
A robotic Moltres was shown chasing [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

Moltres also appeared in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

Additionally it was mentioned in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' where [[James]] mistakenly believed that it was his "Inner Pokémon" and dressed up in a Moltres costume.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Sabrina]] is shown to have obtained Moltres for [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Kanto]] saga, but it is not seen in battle. It is later combined with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} to form a singular legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later catches Moltres on [[Mt. Ember]] during her training journey to overcome her fear of birds. She used it and its fellow legendary birds in the fight against [[Karen]] and [[Will]], who were commanding the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use {{m|Sky Attack}} in Melee or {{m|Fly}} in Brawl to leave the arena. Any opponent that touches it will receive a sizable amount of damage. Moltres is the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to return in Brawl.

====Trophy Information====
=====Melee=====
As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{M|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful [[Fire-type]] moves.
=====Brawl=====
A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{M|Sky Attack}}.

==Trivia==
* Moltres' sprites and artwork have depicted it with wings fully engulfed, or only partially engulfed in flames. As of [[Generation III]], it is only shown with its wings partially engulfed.
** On a similar note, its sprites and artwork show it with an orange body. In the anime, its body is colored cream.
* Moltres shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Moltres has the most location changes of any in-game legendary Pokémon, appearing in four different locations.
** Moltres is the only member of its trio to change locations in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Generation I remakes]]. It is also the only one not to appear near its original location in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, Moltres's nest in [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]] is abandoned in favor of [[Mt. Ember]]. However, its original location in Victory Road is marked by a crater containing a {{DL|Battle Item|Guard Spec.}}
* Moltres is the only one of the three legendary birds to not appear in the original opening of the English dub.
* Moltres is the only member of [[Legendary birds|its trio]] that can't have super effective [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] against a Pokémon of its own type. Both {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{type2|Electric}} moves and {{p|Articuno}}'s {{type2|Ice}} moves are super effective against the {{type2|Flying}}.
* While the legendary birds are known as Kanto's native legendary trio, Moltres has only been available in Kanto itself during Generation I in Victory Road. In Generation III, it appears in the [[Sevii Islands]] on [[Mt. Ember]], while in Generation IV it is [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], and in [[Johto]] it is in [[Mt. Silver]].
* Moltres has appeared in three out of four main regions in the series so far. The only region it never appeared in is the [[Hoenn]] region.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the {{wp|phoenix}}. However, Moltres is most likely based on either the phoenix of Persian legend, {{wp|simurgh}} or the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic Firebird}}. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku. It may also be based on a {{wp|swan}} or {{wp|Bennu}}, because of the similar shape of the neck and body, as well as many other {{wp|firebird}}s, such as the {{wp|Three-legged bird}}.
====Name origin====
Moltres's name is a combination of the words ''molten'' and the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for three, ''tres'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. It may also be based on the word "molt" for the renewal aspect, possibly alluding to a phoenix's rebirth. Its Japanese name is simply ''Fire''.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
The Grand Festival continues, and the competition is really heating up as {{an|Dawn}} progresses into the semi-finals only to find herself paired up against none other than '[[Jessilina]]'. While Dawn attempts to hold her nerve against the coordinator who (kind of) defeated her in the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, [[Zoey]] finds herself in a similar situation as she faces the coordinator who defeated her in the Hearthome Contest... Nando.

At the festival, Zoey's Leafeon and Mismagius fights hard against Nando's Lopbunny and Kricetune. They exchange blows, both losing points rapidly. But in the end Zoey edges out a win and advances to the final round. Afterwards, Dawn's Buneary and Cyndaquil easily beat Jessilina's Seviper and Carnavine. Jessie, having her dreams of being the famous Top Coordinator shattered, pinches Dawn's cheeks in anger but orders her to win the Festival. Dawn quickly thanks her, and the final stage of the Festival is ready to begin...

==Major events==

* [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}} is revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Mismagius}}.
* [[Nando]]'s {{p|Roselia}} is revealed to have evolved into a {{TP|Nando|Roserade}}, while he is also revealed to have captured a {{p|Lopunny}}.
* Zoey and {{an|Dawn}} defeat Nando and [[Jessie|Jessilina]], respectively, and advance to the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

'''Crawdaunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シザリガー''' ''Shizariger'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Corphish}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Crawdaunt are large, mostly red crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two pincers with spikes protruding from the edges and tan-colored lower sides of the claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's with small spikes, and a two-clawed back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. Lower on their tan-colored underside is a pattern of angular red shapes, seperating the upper portion of their underside from the lower portion. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known. It may just be there for show. Crawdaunt has circular eyes with small pupils in dark sockets, and a pocketing in its shell below its eye resembling ‘bags’. On the lower part of its lobster-like tail is a triangular patch of yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Crawdaunt is a very powerful, violent Pokémon. Its strong pincers allow it to use moves such as {{m|ViceGrip}} and even {{m|Guillotine}}. Crawdaunt often wildly flails its pincers, and also may use them to pick up and toss other Pokémon out of its pond. Due to its proficiency with its sharp pincers, Crawdaunt may possess the ability {{a|Hyper Cutter}}. Its tough outer armor also enables it to have a sturdy defense, which can be seen with its ability {{a|Shell Armor}}. As a Water-type, Crawdaunt can also use Water-type moves such as {{m|Bubble}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Crawdaunts are extremely aggressive Pokémon that will bully others in order to drive them away from their homes, exhibiting behavior similar to {{p|Whiscash}}.Its nature also means that Crawdaunt is prone to challenge other living things to battle, and it loves to do so. Crawdaunts molt their shells regularly, and immidiately after their shells are soft and tender. Until the shells harden, Crawdaunts hide in their streambed burrows to avoid being attacked from its foes.

Veteran Crawdaunts, which have prevailed in hundreds of battles, have giant pincers that are marked with countless scars. Crawdaunts have been said to be hard to raise.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]

Crawdaunt live in ponds and streams.

==Trivia==
*Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word ''lobster''.
*To date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 155.
*In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, some of the Crawdaunt caught in Celestic Town may be underleveled - Corphish does not evolve until level 30, but it is possible to catch a level 20 Crawdaunt in Celestic Town.
===Origin===
Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a {{wp|red swamp crayfish}}. However, its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger, more powerful type of creature, a {{wp|lobster}}.
====Name origin====
Crawdaunt's name is based on ''crawdad'', an alternate name for a crayfish. This is in combination with ''daunt'', to cause to lose courage, or perhaps Taunt (which happens to be a move it can learn).

''Shizariger'' is based on シザー ''shizā'', scissors, and ザリガニ ''zarigani'', crayfish.

==In other languages==

'''Unfair Weather Friends''' (Japanese: '''お天気研究所のポワルン！''' ''{{tt|Powalen|Castform}} of the Weather Research Center'') is the 83rd episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 357th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 1, 2004 and in the United States on June 18, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} are seen walking down a road. A sunny day turns to rain, then to thunder, and finally snow. The explanation? {{p|Castform}}, the [[Weather conditions|Weather]] [[Pokémon]]. Castform begins to lead the group to safety when the weather turns sunny again. Castform's [[Form differences|form]] changes with the weather.

They find a couple of researchers at an institute. {{an|Brock}}, as usual, goes into his pretty-girl-trance at the sight of [[Millie|the female scientist]] (who happens to have a {{p|Ditto}}), but something's wrong. Brock can't quite explain it, but he doesn't feel as gaga for this lady as he does for other ladies. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is snowed in, and appear to be enjoying themselves. Or at least {{MTR}} is; [[Jessie]] and [[James]] blame the crazy weather patterns on Ash and company.

The researchers show Ash and the others their weather control machine. Team Rocket later find the machine and immediately make ill-fated plans to use it for nefarious ends. [[Team Aqua]] arrive on the scene soon afterwards, and in full force. Of course, they also want the machine. Team Rocket are clearly upset by the presence of Team Aqua and perform most of their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto|mottos}} before being clamped in restraints.

The researchers and Team Rocket are held captive together shortly. Oddly enough, the female scientist claims to have never heard of Team Rocket; perhaps this is because they're in [[Hoenn]], and Team Rocket is [[Kanto]]-based. Jessie and James suck in their stomachs and the restraints loosen. Team Aqua begins powering up the weather control machine, but it appears as though they simply wanted data from the machine and not the machine itself. The data they're interested in relates to a local [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Ditto runs off with the Pass Card for the data. Ash and company, watching all the action from the outside, vow to protect the machine from Team Aqua and Team Rocket. The Pass Card is intercepted by Ash and the others. Everyone but Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} flees, and Pikachu knocks out the Team Aqua grunts with a couple of {{m|Thunderbolt|lightning bolts}}. The plan is apparently to delete all the data from the main computer, which is now under guard by Team Aqua.

Ditto then copies Castform and lures the Aqua guards away. Ash links up with Ditto (disguised as Castform) and runs away. Team Aqua have apparently copied all the data to a disk and deleted it from the computer. While running out of the room, the Team Aqua guards run into Ash and Ditto (Castform). Ash is embarrassed that he never noticed a thing. After a quick fight inside, Ash and Ditto run outside to challenge the remaining Team Aqua members.

The weather control machine is brought out and a lightning bolt strikes Team Rocket instead of Ash and company. A demonstration of power, apparently. Fearing for the others, Millie (the female scientist) hands over the Pass Card. Unbeknown to the Team Aqua members, the data doesn't exist! Then Millie jumps to the top of the machine. Everyone looks at her, surprised. And we learn that Millie isn't really a woman after all. He's really [[Brodie]], a member of [[Team Magma]]. This explains Brock's lack of a reaction to Brodie's disguised form earlier.

{{an|May}} gets involved in the {{pkmn|battle}}, but {{TP|May|Combusken}} doesn't have enough power to battle Brodie's Ditto. He escapes with the data and, for a change, the bad guys win this round. The real Millie then arrives on the scene, all ready for her first day at the institute. Brock does his patented pretty-girl-trance. As it turns out, the data isn't completely lost. It's in hard copy but it will take a long time to re-enter.

The episode closes with another scene of Team Rocket freezing in the snow.

== Trivia ==
* ''[[Full of Summer!!]]'' replaces ''[[Smile]]'' as the ending.
* This episode, much like ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power]]'' and ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', was named similarly to [[EP137|a Johto episode]] in both the English dub and the Latin American Spanish, and Spanish Dub.
** This episode's title is based on the phrase "fair weather friends", which is also the basis for the similarly named Johto episode.
* This is the first time more than one transformation of two different kinds of Pokémon are seen: Castform transforming into its other forms, and Ditto transforming into a Castform. Also, Ditto is the first Pokémon to go into nested transformations (transforming into another form without going back to its original form).
=== Errors ===

* When Team Rocket is complaining to Team Aqua about being captured, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] is nowhere to be seen.
* Right before Millie commands her Ditto to [[Transform (move)|transform]], Castform's lower body is the wrong shape.

'''Crawdaunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シザリガー''' ''Shizariger'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Corphish}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Crawdaunt are large, mostly red crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two pincers with spikes protruding from the edges and tan-colored lower sides of the claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's with small spikes, and a two-clawed back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. Lower on their tan-colored underside is a pattern of angular red shapes, seperating the upper portion of their underside from the lower portion. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known. It may just be there for show. Crawdaunt has circular eyes with small pupils in dark sockets, and a pocketing in its shell below its eye resembling ‘bags’. On the lower part of its lobster-like tail is a triangular patch of yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Crawdaunt is a very powerful, violent Pokémon. Its strong pincers allow it to use moves such as {{m|ViceGrip}} and even {{m|Guillotine}}. Crawdaunt often wildly flails its pincers, and also may use them to pick up and toss other Pokémon out of its pond. Due to its proficiency with its sharp pincers, Crawdaunt may possess the ability {{a|Hyper Cutter}}. Its tough outer armor also enables it to have a sturdy defense, which can be seen with its ability {{a|Shell Armor}}. As a Water-type, Crawdaunt can also use Water-type moves such as {{m|Bubble}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Crawdaunts are extremely aggressive Pokémon that will bully others in order to drive them away from their homes, exhibiting behavior similar to {{p|Whiscash}}.Its nature also means that Crawdaunt is prone to challenge other living things to battle, and it loves to do so. Crawdaunts molt their shells regularly, and immidiately after their shells are soft and tender. Until the shells harden, Crawdaunts hide in their streambed burrows to avoid being attacked from its foes.

Veteran Crawdaunts, which have prevailed in hundreds of battles, have giant pincers that are marked with countless scars. Crawdaunts have been said to be hard to raise.

===Habitat===

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a wild Crawdaunt is seen ambushing Briney and injuring his [[Peeko|Wingull]]'s beak. It was subdued by [[Coco (Adventures)|Coco]]'s {{m|Double-Edge}} attack and fell victim to its [[Cute Charm]] before being tied up by Ruby, though he pretends that it wasn't his work, as at this point he still hates battling.

==Trivia==
*Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word ''lobster''.
*To date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 155.
*In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, some of the Crawdaunt caught in Celestic Town may be underleveled - Corphish does not evolve until level 30, but it is possible to catch a level 20 Crawdaunt in Celestic Town.
===Origin===
Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a {{wp|red swamp crayfish}}. However, its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger, more powerful type of creature, a {{wp|lobster}}.
====Name origin====
Crawdaunt's name is based on ''crawdad'', an alternate name for a crayfish. This is in combination with ''daunt'', to cause to lose courage, or perhaps Taunt (which happens to be a move it can learn).

''Shizariger'' is based on シザー ''shizā'', scissors, and ザリガニ ''zarigani'', crayfish.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Krebutack - From ''Krebs'' ({{wp|crayfish}} or {{wp|crab}}) and ''attack.''
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Colhomard
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가재장군 ''Gajaejanggun''

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. He is voiced by 小桜エツ子 ''[[Etsuko Kozakura]]'' in Japanese and [[Michele Knotz]] in English.

==History==
[[Image:Dawn and Piplup2.png|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|left]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when it was practicing its Draco Meteor in [[DP164]], or when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, he was fairly weak at first. [[Jessie's Seviper]] easily defeated the starter Pokémon in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', as well as {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two [[ribbon]]s in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; he will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', Piplup began the [[evolution]] process. However, it soon became clear that Piplup was unwilling to undergo the transformation to {{p|Prinplup}}. After an encounter with [[Team Rocket]], {{an|Dawn}} gave Piplup her full support and acquired an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent his evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with a Marill; however, a wild {{p|Elekid}} is competing for the Marill's affections. When the three Pokémon get separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid work together to save Marill. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, and left Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', he battled Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} together with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a [[double battle]].

Ever since [[Ash's Gible]] made its debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of Gible's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident. [[DP164]] expanded on this event in which Piplup became separated from the {{ashfr|group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped Piplup learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In [[DP173]], it implies that {{m|Draco Meteor}} can be used to differentiate Piplup from other {{p|Piplup}}.

*'''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its contest appeal in [[DP161]]. It was used again in [[DP177]] to dodge [[Zoey|Zoey's Gallade]]'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

*'''Sky Attack-Peck Combination''' was used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack with which Dawn concludes her battle.

==In the TCG==
Dawn's Piplup is featured in the TCG as a {{TCG|Pokémon M|Pokémon}} {{SP|M}}. The following is a list of cards named '''Piplup {{SP|M}}'''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup.png|thumb|250px|Dawn and Piplup]]
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "Pochama jumps into the water with a splash."
*The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until [[DP161]], three seasons later.
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the ball.
**Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
***Also, he has expressed reluctance to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
*Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
*Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests.
* Of the current number of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup has only been completely absent from 17.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.
