'''Castelia City''' (Japanese: '''ヒウンシティ''' ''Hiun City'') is a large seaside city located in south central [[Unova]]. Unlike past cities, Castelia is a huge, sprawling metropolis, sporting many towering skyscrapers and other tall buildings. The city exists on Unova's central peninsula, south of the desert and north of the sea, making for a perfect harbor city.

The city has only two possible entrances on foot: from the desert in the north, and from Unova's eastern third by way of the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].

Castelia City is geographically the largest city in the [[Pokémon world]], and contains many structural elements that have not been seen in cities in other regions. The city's core is a {{wp|central business district}}, with huge skyscrapers and other commercial buildings; a series of alleyways lead into this core, where smaller shops are set up among city traffic. The city's outskirts are bounded on all sides by harbor, where ships provide traffic to other regions in the Pokémon world.

==Trivia==
[[File:Castelia Pikachu.png|thumb|Pikachu inside the building]]
* Even though it was officially stated that no Pokémon from previous generations would appear in {{game|Black and White|s}} before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], a {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen with a {{tc|Hiker}} inside the same building as the [[Name Rater]] in Castelia City. Another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard in the city, above the [[Pokémon Center]]. They most likely meant that players could not obtain or battle any Pokémon before the National Pokédex, however.

Elesa (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamitsure'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.

==In the games==
Kamitsure makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.

Kamitsure specializes in Electric-type Pokémon and upon defeating her, she will reward the player with the a Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Change}}.

Outside of battle, Kamitsure appears when {{ga|Bianca}} attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Kamitsure aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Kamitsure who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Hodomoe Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Kamitsure also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Sazanami Town]].

==Trivia==
* Kamitsure's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|シャイニング　ビューティ|Shining beauty}}.
* Kamitsure is the first female Gym Leader to specialize in Electric-type Pokémon.
** She is also the only Gym Leader specializing in Electric-type Pokémon never to use a member of the {{p|Pikachu}} evolutionary line at any point; this is due to the fact that Pikachu are not normally found in [[Unova]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Daikenki, {{p|Jalorda}} and {{p|Enbuoh}} all share the same base stat total of 528.

===Origin===
Daikenki is based on a {{wp|sea lion}} with characteristics of a {{wp|samurai}} or {{wp|shogun}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> Daikenki's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head is based on the {{wp|Murex}} shell.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Daikenki, {{p|Jalorda}} and {{p|Enbuoh}} all share the same base stat total of 528.

===Origin===
Daikenki is based on a {{wp|sea lion}} with characteristics of a {{wp|samurai}} or {{wp|shogun}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> Daikenki's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head is based on the {{wp|Murex}} shell.

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

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Zekrom is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the second of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zekrom is a bipedal Pokémon of draconian and dinosaur-like basis. Zekrom is mainly a shade of dark gray, with darker patches on various portions of its body. It has red eyes and a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout, with its head sporting a plume tipped with light-blue coloration. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding.The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. The knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion.

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

===Special abilities===
Zekrom is the only Pokémon known to learn {{m|Cross Thunder}} and {{m|Lightning Strike}}. It has a power generator that can be used to power up its tail and unleash powerful electrical energy, which causes several thunderstorms in one area.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Reshiram}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010.
** This makes the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
** They are also the 499th and the 500th Pokémon revealed to Japanese audiences.
* On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's [[elemental type|type]], [[Shōko Nakagawa]] spoke about her love of {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that this meant she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
*In the Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Zekrom is known as the Black Yin Pokémon.
* Zekrom is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. Running away from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points.
**It and {{p|Reshiram}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story.
* Zekrom has the highest {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, single [[base stat]] and base stat total of all {{type|Electric}}. Tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Reshiram}}, it has the highest single base stat and base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
**Zekrom and {{p|Rotom}}'s Mow form are the only known Pokémon that have a double resistance to {{t|Electric}}.
* Zekrom is the heaviest Pokemon introduced in Generation V.
* Zekrom, as well as {{p|Reshiram}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
Zekrom's eyes change to that of Reshiram's blue eyes in his shiny sprite. This is inversed for Reshiram; Reshiram's eyes change to that of Zekrom's red eyes.

===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Appearance wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as {{wp|Allosaurus}}, and a European {{wp|dragon}}. The crest on its head is a reference to thunderclouds and its tail resembles an electric generator.
====Name origin====
* Zekrom's name comes from the word "zero" and 黒む ''kuromu'', which means "turning black" or "tinged with darkness". May also be from 無 ''mu'', "nothing".

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram’s snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram’s face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram’s neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the “wrists” of Reshiram’s forelimbs. Reshiram’s forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram’s chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a [[Silver Wing]], with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram’s thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram’s tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands.

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

===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleashes it in one blast and its fire can burn everything into nothing. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Cross Flame}} and {{m|Blue Fire}}.

[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010.
** This makes the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
** They are also the 499th and the 500th Pokémon revealed to Japanese audiences.
*In the Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Reshiram is known as the White Yang Pokémon.
* Due to being a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
* Reshiram has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Dialga}} for highest Special Attack among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Reshiram has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and it has the highest base stat total of all Dragon-type Pokémon, tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Zekrom}}.
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. Running away from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points.
**It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story.
* Due to its ability, which functions exactly as {{a|Mold Breaker}} does, no combination of types and abilities can be resistant to all of Reshiram's STAB attacks; without Turbo Blaze, Reshiram's Dragon/Fire STAB combo would be resisted by {{p|Heatran}}'s {{a|Flash Fire}} and {{t|Steel}} typing.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance along side {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
*Reshiram gets Zekrom's red eyes in its shiny sprite. This is inversed for Zekrom; Zekrom gets Reshiram's blue eyes.
===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white {{wp|fire}}, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). To further this connection with fire and combustion, its tail resembles a rocket engine or {{wp|afterburner}} .

====Name origin====
* Reshiram's name comes from the Japanese word 零 ''rei'' (zero) and 白む ''shiramu'', which means "turning white" or "growing light". May also be from 無 ''mu'', "nothing".

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Zekrom is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the second of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zekrom is a bipedal Pokémon of draconian and dinosaur-like basis. Zekrom is mainly a shade of dark gray, with darker patches on various portions of its body. It has red eyes and a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout, with its head sporting a plume tipped with light-blue coloration. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding.The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. The knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion.

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

===Special abilities===
Zekrom is the only Pokémon known to learn {{m|Cross Thunder}} and {{m|Lightning Strike}}. It has a power generator that can be used to power up its tail and unleash powerful electrical energy, which causes several thunderstorms in one area.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Zekrom usually stay in thunderclouds, hiding.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
[[File:Zekrom anime.png|250px|thumb|Zekrom in the anime]]
It made a cameo in the opening of [[BW001]].

===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Appearance wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as {{wp|Allosaurus}}, and a European {{wp|dragon}}. The crest on its head is a reference to thunderclouds and its tail resembles an electric generator.
====Name origin====
* Zekrom's name comes from the word "zero" and 黒む ''kuromu'', which means "turning black" or "tinged with darkness". May also be from 無 ''mu'', "nothing".

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Zekrom is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the second of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zekrom is a bipedal Pokémon of draconian and dinosaur-like basis. Zekrom is mainly a shade of dark gray, with darker patches on various portions of its body. It has red eyes and a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout, with its head sporting a plume tipped with light-blue coloration. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding.The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. The knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion.

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

*Zekrom and Reshiram swap eye colors in their shiny sprites; Zekrom gets Reshiram's blue eyes and Reshiram gets Zekrom's red eyes.
*Zekrom may be an unintentional reference to the Red Eyes Black Dragon from {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}} for the obvious reason that Zekrom is a black dragon with red eyes.

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Reshiram is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart. It is also the first of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram’s snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram’s face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram’s neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the “wrists” of Reshiram’s forelimbs. Reshiram’s forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram’s chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a [[Silver Wing]], with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram’s thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram’s tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands.

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

===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail used to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It can also store huge amounts of heat energy and unleashes it in one blast and its fire can burn everything into nothing. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Cross Flame}} and {{m|Blue Fire}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010.
** This makes the two the first Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
** They are also the 499th and the 500th Pokémon revealed to Japanese audiences.
*In the Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Reshiram is known as the White Yang Pokémon.
* Due to being a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
* Reshiram has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Dialga}} for highest Special Attack among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Reshiram has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and it has the highest base stat total of all Dragon-type Pokémon, tied with {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Zekrom}}.
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. Running away from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points.
**It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story.
* Due to its ability, which functions exactly as {{a|Mold Breaker}} does, no combination of types and abilities can be resistant to all of Reshiram's STAB attacks; without Turbo Blaze, Reshiram's Dragon/Fire STAB combo would be resisted by {{p|Heatran}}'s {{a|Flash Fire}} and {{t|Steel}} typing.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance along side {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
*Reshiram and Zekrom have an eye color swap in their shiny sprites; Reshiram gets Zekrom's red eyes and Zekrom gets Reshiram's blue eyes.
*Reshiram may be an unintentional reference to the Blue Eyes White Dragon from {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}}, for the obvious reason that Reshiram is a white dragon with blue eyes.

===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white {{wp|fire}}, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). To further this connection with fire and combustion, its tail resembles a rocket engine or {{wp|afterburner}} .

====Name origin====
* Reshiram's name comes from the Japanese word 零 ''rei'' (zero) and 白む ''shiramu'', which means "turning white" or "growing light". May also be from 無 ''mu'', "nothing".

(Japanese: '''トウヤ''' ''Touya'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. He is the male counterpart to {{ga|Touko}}.

==In the games==
Touya is a boy who lives in [[Kanoko Town]], as do his childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bel]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Araragi]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bel, Touya will at some point be asked by [[Makomo]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Touya will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling his childhood friends at various points during his journey, Touya will also meet a man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Touya will battle several times during the course of the game. Touya also battles [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of his journey.

If not chosen as the player (that is, the female character was chosen as the player), he appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train.
Touya has a much bigger task than Red and Ethan, but not as big as Brendan or Lucas. Touya has to stop Team Plasma from liberating and controlling all the Pokémon in Unova and taking over the world, all while defeating N and once and for all with his [[Zekrom|phenomenally powerful]] [[Reshiram|new Pokemon]].

==Counterparts==
Touya has three counterparts appearing in various {{pkmn|manga}}: [[Monta]] from the [[Pokémon Master Black & White]] manga, {{Adv|Black}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and {{OBP|Touya|MWL}} from the [[Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends]] manga.

==Trivia==
*Before the discovery of Touya's official name, he was known by fans as "Black".
**Coincidentally, his [[Pokémon Adventures]] counterpart is named {{adv|Black}}.
*If seen from above, Touya's hat resembles a [[Poké Ball]]

===Name origin===
The origin of his name is speculated to be a combination of the word "tou" (透, meaning transparent and with the implication of being untainted) and the male name suffix "ya" (也).

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into one of [[Eeveelution|seven different Pokémon]] by various methods.
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}
*{{p|Espeon}} via [[happiness]] during the [[time|daytime]] ([[Generation II]] onward)
*{{p|Umbreon}} via happiness during the [[time|nighttime]] (Generation II onward)
*{{p|Leafeon}} when [[level]]ed up near a [[Moss Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward)
*{{p|Glaceon}} when [[level]]ed up near an [[Ice Rock]] (Generation IV onward)
If [[level]]ed up near the Moss Rock or Ice Rock while happy enough to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, it will still evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

Eevee is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance to its environment. Seven evolutions for this Pokémon have been discovered so far. Three of these evolutions are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Fire Stone, Thunderstone or Water Stone. Two more of the evolutions involve maximum affection with the {{pkmn|Trainer}} and accordance to the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, [[Eterna Forest]] and {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}.

===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. It has four short, feline-esque legs with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|raccoon}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.
====Gender differences====
No gender differences are known.

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it's unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Some Eevee have the ability {{a|Adaptability}}, which makes any Normal-type attack that they use become stronger than when used by any other Normal-type Pokémon whose attack power is the same as Eevee's. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon. This code may also shed some light on one of its abilities, {{a|Adaptability}}.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but have been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Ursula Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

====[[Gary's Umbreon|Gary's Eevee]]====
Gary's Eevee debuted in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} some time before ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''.

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated [[Team Rocket]], Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

[[Sakura]] had an {{TP|Sakura|Eevee}} in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and co. met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance, into a Vaporeon and a Flareon.

===Minor appearances===
[[Ritchie]] consulted [[Professor Oak]] on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

An Eevee was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mikey Eevee.png|thumb|right|Mikey's Eevee in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee is in love with Lu, who confessed her own love to Eevee before moving away.

Another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears and shows its love for [[Eevee (MPJ)|Coconut's Eevee]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though it still requires the energies of an [[Evolutionary Stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]]. When it evolved into [[Vee|Espeon]], however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{Adv|Green}}.

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

As in the games and anime, Eevee is notable in the TCG for being able to evolve into the most differently-named Pokémon cards, with its seven normal evolutions, as well as {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Dark forms}} of the Generation I evolutions and Espeon, and {{TCG|Light Pokémon|Light forms}} of the Generation I evolutions.

==In the TFG==
One Eevee figure has been released.

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Eevee|10}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Eevee only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.

==Trivia==
* Fans have come up with a term to refer to all Pokémon which evolve from Eevee: [[Eeveelution]]s. This term was later used officially in the TCG.
** All of Eevee's evolutions end in the suffix -eon.
** Eevee and its [[evolution]]s all have a [[catch rate]] of 45.
** Each Eeveelution has identical base stat totals, as well as the same 130-110-95-65-65-60 amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to which stat.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Eevee's [[Generation I]] evolutions: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} can be obtained at level 1 since an [[evolutionary stone]] is required for each, while its [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] evolutions can be obtained at level 2, because they require leveling up when a certain condition is met.
* If Eevee's happiness is raised to a maximum while in an area containing a [[Moss Rock]] or an [[Ice Rock]], it will not evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}; instead becoming {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}}, respectively.
* Eevee and {{p|Tyrogue}} are the only Pokémon that can [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|evolve into more than two Pokémon]], if {{p|Wormadam}}'s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
* Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two non-Dream World abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one non-Dream World ability. The other two are {{p|Trapinch}} and {{p|Sneasel}}.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, an evolution of an Eevee was never seen on screen in the anime until [[DP174]] when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of other branched evolutions in Generation II, its distinction is the number of Pokémon which it can evolve into.
* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild. Interestingly, when it is caught, it knows four [[status move]]s.
* All of Eevee's evolutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not covered is {{t|Dragon}}.
* Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Azurill}}.
* Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|V}} are the only generations not to introduce a new evolution for Eevee.
** As of [[Pokemon Black and White]], Generation V is the only generation where Eevee cannot be gained in-game: instead, it is only obtainable through the [[Dream World]].
* Eevee and {{p|Feebas}} are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Beauty Scale]]; Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with maximum [[happiness]] during the day or night, respectively, or via [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]], respectively.
** However, many Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|Fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Tanuki}}, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}. It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the foxes ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the desert fox and the {{wp|arctic fox}}.

====Name origin====
Eevee's name is a pronunciation of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]]. Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon," the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of "evolution". Eon also means a long time, which is how long it takes for {{wp|evolution}} to take place in the real world.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Evoli
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Evoli- A combination of ''évolution'' (evolution) and ''-li'', the suffix for all French Eeveelutions.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이브이 ''Ibeui''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 伊布 ''Yī Bù'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

Larvitar usually live in mountains, hills, and sometimes, in caves. The mountains they live in are usually their meals. A single Larvitar can eat a mountain in a few weeks.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Larvitar feeds on soil.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash_larvitar.jpg|thumb|right|{{AP|Larvitar}} in the anime]]
Larvitar first appeared in ''[[PK11|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''. The Rock Skin Pokémon was, in the words of the narrator, "in charge of guarding the garden." {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. invited Larvitar's friends (but not Larvitar itself) to a game of Hide 'n' Seek. Larvitar was feeling left out and accidentally kicked a rock at a lawnmower (which went haywire afterwards).

{{Ash}} had a {{AP|Larvitar}} he hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} given to him by [[Professor Elm]] to deliver to its mother, living on [[Mt. Silver]].

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing]]'', a Larvitar was being babysat by a Poké-Sitter named {{an|Matt}}. Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} were helping him with his job. The Larvitar was shy, and used {{m|Sandstorm}} when confronted. By the end of the episode, however, it warmed up to the group, particularly {{an|May}}.

A Larvitar also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Crystal}}'s {{p|Arcanine}} was injured by attacked by a Larvitar five years prior to the plot of the volume, causing it to go on a rampage until Crystal calmed it down.

==Trivia==
*In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Ash's Larvitar]] used {{m|Harden}} several times, even though there's no possible way for Larvitar to learn Harden in the games.
*Larvitar is one of the few lowest-stage Pokémon with an evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}. The other Pokémon that are like this are {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, and {{p|Trapinch}}.
*Larvitar and its [[Evolution|evolutionary line]] are amongst the few Pokémon to be placed directly behind a [[legendary Pokémon]] in a regional [[Pokédex]].
*Larvitar can learn {{m|Iron Defense}} by breeding, although not by move tutor. The same goes for {{m|Outrage}}.

===Origin===
It appears to share similarities with {{wp|dinosaur}}s.

Its penchant for eating mountains, fences, or probably anything else may come from the legend of the {{wp|Tarasque}}.
====Name origin====
Larvitar's name is based on ''{{wp|larva}}''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 幼児 ''yōji'', baby or child, or 幼生 ''yōsei'', larva, and 嫌い ''kirai'', hate, or ''{{wp|Anguirus}}'', a Japanese {{wp|kaiju|kaijū}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Larvitar
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Embrylex - From ''embrillion'' (embryo) and ''silex'' (flint).

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{P|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{P|Magneton}} or {{P|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{P|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{P|Alakazam}}. It can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together.

====Gender differences====
Metagross is a genderless species, as are its pre-evolutions, Beldum and Metang.

====Special abilities====
Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Metagross anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

Metagross's debut appearance was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild {{shiny2}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]]. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Special]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{P|Metang}} and many {{P|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Although it is said that Metagross is made up of two Metang, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of getting together with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
* Metagross is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] that does not have a 4× weakness.
*Metagross has the highest atttack stat out of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a base stat of 135.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution the earliest of all [[Pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves.
** It is also the only genderless pseudo-legendary.
* Metagross's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metagross has the highest Attack stat of any Steel-type and the second highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Metagross is the fifth heaviest Pokémon, and the heaviest of all non-legendary Pokémon.
*Metagross, along with its pre-evolutions, are the only non-legendary Pokemon to have a catch rate of 3.
===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}. It may also be based on spider mechs.
====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its size.

[[Image:Storybook-entei.jpg|thumb|right|290px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of extremely rare and powerful [[Pokémon]].

In the Japanese version, there are three distinct terms used to refer to those Pokémon which are collectively called ''legendary'' in English. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' (''densetsu no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of legend''), refers to those which are featured prominently in legends, such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The second, '''幻のポケモン''' (''maboroshi no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of illusions'', translated as ''mirage Pokémon'' in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}), refers to those so rarely seen that some question their very existence, such as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lugia}}; an alternative definition restricts it only to Pokémon not available in normal gameplay. The third is '''神話のポケモン''' (''shinwa no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of myth''), which is a term applied to some of the legendary Pokémon of [[Sinnoh]].

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} typically has only one chance to capture a legendary Pokémon, but the same species have appeared in more than one game. Their [[gender]]s are usually unknown, with the exception of {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}}. With the exception of {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}, they will refuse to be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and, for similar reasons, they are often banned from competitions. They are [[stats|statistically]] some of the most powerful Pokémon in the game. They never [[Evolution|evolve]], and many are one-third of a [[legendary trio]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, legendary Pokémon are generally held in higher regard than they are in the games, nearing a god-like reverence. They appear only to special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s (usually the case of [[Ash Ketchum]]). Very few people have actually seen legendary Pokémon. Because of their rarity, they are sought after by trainers and collectors, especially by [[villainous team]]s like [[Team Rocket]].

It has been predicted (and demonstrated) that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon can lead to great catastrophe, as they often hold a pivotal role in nature. But some speculate that if a trainer were to "play by the rules," the results would not be as chaotic. {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, for example, befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{p|Articuno}} and its power never exceeded him. It should be noted, however, that Noland is a very skilled trainer.

As seen with {{p|Lugia}}, some breed in the wild; as seen with {{p|Celebi}}, they are neither immortal nor invincible; and only very few (notably {{p|Mewtwo}}) are unique.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
There are 35 Pokémon considered to be legendary Pokémon, and there are several more with certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon.

===[[Generation I]]===
The legendary Pokémon of Generation I can be broken into two groups: the legendary birds and the Mew-based legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres]]
There are three [[legendary birds]], also referred to as winged mirages. The legendary birds are each based off a mythical bird.

As shown in the [[The Power of One|second movie]], should the three birds be disturbed and turned against each other, they will fight over territory, and, left unabated, their battles will ultimately cause the end of the world. They represent nature's balance and are tied to {{p|Lugia}}. They are strongly linked to the elements {{t|fire}}, {{t|ice}}, and {{t|electric|lightning}}— forces that when combined are believed to yield both the origin of life and the cause of apocalyptic weather disasters. Some fans believe that this scenario applies only to the three birds found near [[Shamouti Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], and that this characteristic does not extend to their species.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], it was shown that the legendary birds could breed, as the player could hatch them from eggs around [[Pokémon Island]] by introducing the eggs to their corresponding element. In {{Pokémon XD}} it's possible to snag all three birds, whom are all under the ownership of [[Greevil]]. Each of the birds can also be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] in {{game|Platinum}}, once the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained.
* '''{{MS|144|Articuno}} {{p|Articuno}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|ice}}. It can be found on [[Seafoam Islands]] in the Generation I games, their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]], and in [[Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the [[Johto]] region in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. A third one was seen in the [[Kanto]] region, with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* '''{{MS|145|Zapdos}} {{p|Zapdos}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|Electric|thunder}}. It can be found at the [[Power Plant]] in the Generation I games, their Generation III remakes, and just outside the Power Plant in HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the Johto region in the episode ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', and a third was seen in the credits of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the sea, flying Jack Walker after he captured it with his Capture Styler. A fourth one that was spotted by [[Team Rocket]] in Sinnoh in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''.
* '''{{MS|146|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|fire}}. It can be found on {{ka|Victory Road}} in the Generation I games, in the [[Sevii Islands]] in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and in [[Silver Cave]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The spirit of Moltres represents the [[Indigo League]] and its flame came alive in the episode ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]''. It also appeared to [[Ritchie]] at [[Sevii Islands]] in the anime.

====Mew and Mewtwo====
[[Image:Mewtwo_mew.jpg|thumb|left|Mewtwo and Mew]]
* '''{{MS|151|Mew}} {{p|Mew}}''' is the {{t|Psychic}} feline Pokémon of ancient legend. It is not obtainable by normal means in any game; however, a [[Mew glitch|glitch]] allows the player to battle and capture Mew in [[Generation I]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, a Nintendo event gave out the Old Sea Map that would take the player to [[Faraway Island]], where Mew could be caught. In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], it is possible to obtain a Mew after depositing 999 Pokémon onto your ranch. It is said to be able to live forever. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to Mew, and thus it represents the origin of life. The bubbly Mew was first seen in the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|first movie]], and later in the special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Another is seen in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]]. A mirage Mew was seen in the Master of Mirage Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|150|Mewtwo}} {{p|Mewtwo}}''' is a genetically altered, unique clone of Mew. It can be found in the [[Cerulean Cave]] in the Generation I games, their remakes, and HeartGold/SoulSilver. It was statistically the most powerful Pokémon until Generation II. It is also one of the most intelligent, and can communicate freely with humans using telepathy. It is the main character of the first movie, and the ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' specials. After the events of Mewtwo Returns, it is portrayed as taking the cover of night and living amongst humans in big cities.

===[[Generation II]]===
Generation II featured the advent of three new groups of legendary Pokémon, consisting of a total of six.
====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|Raikou, Entei and Suicune]]
The [[legendary beasts]] have variously been referred to as legendary dogs or cats, but beasts is the accepted neutral title. These speedy, powerful creatures were created by Ho-Oh after the burning of [[Brass Tower]]. Because they are unable to restrain their extreme power, they race headlong around the land. They can be found racing around the Johto region in the Generation II games. One can also be found roaming Kanto, after the player gets the National Pokédex, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, depending on the [[starter Pokémon]] the user chooses at the beginning of the game. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], it is possible to snag all three legendary beasts from [[Cipher]] admins.
* '''{{MS|243|Raikou}} {{p|Raikou}}''' is the embodiment of thunder. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Squirtle}}. Raikou was twice seen in the Johto region. It was briefly seen in the episode ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and also in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special.
* '''{{MS|244|Entei}} {{p|Entei}}''' is the embodiment of volcanoes. According to legend, one is born every time a new volcano appears. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Bulbasaur}}. An Entei was seen in the Johto region, in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''. A telepathic Entei was featured in the [[Spell of the Unown|third movie]], but it was only a manifestation of [[Molly Hale]]'s imagination, created by the {{p|Unown}}. An Entei is formed from a statue in Fiore when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] reach the Jungle Relic. It comes to life when they complete {{p|Charizard|the last challenge}} by mistake.
* '''{{MS|245|Suicune}} {{p|Suicune}}''' is the embodiment of the North Wind. It is closely tied with Ho-Oh and the Unown. It is the Pokémon sought by [[Eusine]] in {{game|Crystal}}, and is released upon the completion of the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]] storyline in the Generation II games. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Charmander}}. Ash encountered one at the beginning of the [[Johto]] story arc, in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', again in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and made a [[Suicune (Celebi: Voice of the Forest)|vital appearance]] in the [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|fourth movie]]. Ash also encountered a Suicune in [[Sinnoh]], near the [[Valley Windworks]] in ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!'']].

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh.]]These two additional birds of legend are thought to be closely related, although they are also polar opposites. Ho-Oh is based on the Chinese phoenix, or {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and Lugia on the Japanese sea-kami {{wp|Ryūjin}}.
* '''{{MS|250|Ho-Oh}} {{p|Ho-Oh}}''' is the Guardian of the Skies. This Pokémon is represented by the sun, the sky, rainbows, the color gold, and awakening. It is said to glow in seven colors and see into the future. It resides at the top of the Tin Tower in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{v2|Emerald}}, Ho-Oh is found atop [[Navel Rock]]. Ho-Oh is often seen at the beginning of a new journey, which happened to Ash three times. The spirit of Ho-Oh represents the [[Johto League]]. Ho-Oh is the guardian of the legendary beasts, and it is especially close to Suicune. Ho-Oh is obtainable in {{g|Colosseum}} by completing [[Mt. Battle]] and snagging all the Shadow Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|249|Lugia}} {{p|Lugia}}''' is the Guardian of the Sea. It is represented by the moon, the sea, storms, the color silver, and slumber. Lugia can be found in [[Whirl Islands]] in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Lugia is found beneath Navel Rock. A [[Shadow Lugia]] named XD001 resides in the [[Orre]] region in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and causes havoc. It is under the ownership of [[Greevil]] and is snaggable. Lugia protects the balance of nature. Lugia is the guardian of the legendary birds and is the only creature that can pacify their fighting. One was seen in the second movie. Two more, a parent and a child, were seen near [[Silver Rock Isle]] at the beginning of the [[Master Quest|Whirl Cup]] arc of the anime. In the [[The Power of One|second movie]], [[Lawrence III]] mistook Lugia for the Beast of the Sea, which is actually a chaotic underwater current caused when the legendary birds are disturbed.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].]]
Although it has no relation to Mew, Celebi was dubbed the "New Mew" because of its similar size, shape, stats, and [[National Pokédex]] number. Because of this, it is commonly listed with Mew (and later {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, and {{p|Manaphy}}) in lists of legendary Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|251|Celebi}} {{p|Celebi}}''' is a forest guardian Pokémon that can travel through time. Celebi also has the power to purify [[Shadow Pokémon]] and is connected to the [[Relic Stone]]. Celebi can be summoned by a time flute at the relic stone in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. Celebi can also heal plants and forests, as seen in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}. It is the star of the [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|fourth movie]] and was obtainable in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal via the now-discontinued [[Pokémon Mobile System]] service. On the Japanese Bonus Disk for [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Celebi was a direct download to [[Generation III]] cartridges. During ''Pokémon 10th Anniversary: [[Journey Across America]]'', Celebi was downloadable on US Generation III cartridges. Celebi, when obtainable, is found in [[Ilex Forest]] by bringing the [[GS Ball]] to the [[Ilex Forest shrine]].{{Clear-both}}

===[[Generation III]]===
The Generation III games feature a total of 10 new legendaries.
====Legendary golems====
[[Image:3_regis.jpg|thumb|left|Booster art of Regice, Registeel, and Regirock from {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}}.]]
The legendary {{wp|golem}}-like Regis were featured in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]] as the protectors of the Tree of Beginning, but the true story of their history remains a mystery. They have a strong connection to the fourth Regi and their keeper, '''{{p|Regigigas}}'''.
* '''{{MS|377|Regirock}} {{p|Regirock}}''' is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] in the [[Generation III]] games when the required puzzle is solved. Its location in {{game|Platinum}} is the [[Rock Peak Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|378|Regice}} {{p|Regice}}''' is found in the [[Island Cave]] in the Generation III games after solving a puzzle. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iceberg Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|379|Registeel}} {{p|Registeel}}''' is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in the Generation III games, and, like the other two Regis, a puzzle must be solved before it can be reached. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iron Ruins]].

====Eon Pokémon====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|right|Latias and Latios|220px]]
Latios and Latias (sometimes referred to, collectively, as [[Lati@s]]) are twin {{t|Dragon}}s (one male, one female, respectively) featured in the [[Pokémon Heroes|fifth movie]]. Both can take the shape of humans. According to legend, they guard the water city of [[Alto Mare]], and are revered as gods. They have a strong connection with the [[Soul Dew]].
* '''{{MS|380|Latias}} {{p|Latias}}''', the female twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}. She changes routes whenever the player does, and is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II. She can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} by using the [[Eon Ticket]] obtained from [[Nintendo Power]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, she appears as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red, and as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue.
* '''{{MS|381|Latios}} {{p|Latios}}''', the male twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}. He is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II due to the similar route-changing activities that he shares with them and Latias. He can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}} by using the Eon Ticket obtained from Nintendo Power. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, he appears as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue, and as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red.

====Super-ancient Pokémon====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza]]
The [[Weather conditions|weather]]-related legendary Pokémon represent the balance of nature and play a major role in the storyline of the [[Hoenn]]-based Generation III games. It is said that, at the beginning of time, Groudon raised lands and expanded continents as Kyogre expanded the seas. These Pokémon took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle, soothed by Rayquaza.

They are based on the {{wp|behemoth}}, {{wp|leviathan}}, and {{wp|ziz}} of Hebrew legend.
* '''{{MS|382|Kyogre}} {{p|Kyogre}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the sea by bringing forth constant rain. It is found in the [[Cave of Origin]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, and [[Marine Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Aqua]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|383|Groudon}} {{p|Groudon}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the land by scattering rain clouds and making water evaporate with light and heat. It is found in the Cave of Origin in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}, and [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Magma]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|384|Rayquaza}} {{p|Rayquaza}}''' is the legendary dragon found in the [[Sky Pillar]] in the Generation III games. It is the protector of the skies. It was seen in the [[Destiny Deoxys|seventh movie]].

====Other legendary Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|385|Jirachi}} {{p|Jirachi}}''' is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon who was available from [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s bonus disk in North America and available within [[Pokémon Channel]] in the UK, Europe and Australia (PAL Encoded Regions). It is likened to Mew and Celebi. Jirachi is the star of the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|386|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386A|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386D|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386S|Deoxys}} {{p|Deoxys}}''' is a Pokémon with strange alien and virus-like characteristics. It changes its form depending on the game version in which it is found. The [[Aurora Ticket]] used to obtain Deoxys has been given out in North America at the New York {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} and 2004's [[Pokémon Rocks America]] events. Two different Deoxys were featured in the seventh movie, while a third was featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The Generation IV games feature a total of 14 legendary Pokémon, the most of any generation.
{{Clear-both}}
====Mirage Pokémon====
[[Image:LakeTrio.gif|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf together]]
{{wp|Fairy}}-like creatures that each dwell in a trio of three lakes. Birthed from Arceus, each represents a different aspect of the human mind. They were created to give "spirit" to the world.
* '''{{MS|480|Uxie}} {{p|Uxie}}''' embodies knowledge.
* '''{{MS|481|Mesprit}} {{p|Mesprit}}''' embodies emotion.
* '''{{MS|482|Azelf}} {{p|Azelf}}''' embodies will.

Uxie is located in the [[Lake Acuity|Acuity Cavern]], Mesprit will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Sinnoh after the first encounter in the [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]], and Azelf is found in the [[Lake Valor|Valor Cavern]].

====Legendary dragons====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The three Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are the mascots for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and have the ability to warp the fabric of reality. Birthed from Arceus to create matter, they battle for all of eternity in a different dimension. Dialga and Palkia were featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], and Giratina was featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. All three had their final encounter in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|483|Dialga}} {{p|Dialga}}''' controls time.
* '''{{MS|484|Palkia}} {{p|Palkia}}''' controls space and dimensions.
* '''{{MS|487O|Giratina}}/{{MS|487|Giratina}} {{p|Giratina}}''' controls antimatter, the antithesis to the material world created by Dialga and Palkia together.
Depending on the game version, [[Team Galactic]] will try to gain control of one using the power of the lake trio. Their goal is to use their power to destroy the {{pkmn|universe}} and rebuild it with [[Cyrus]] as a god.

====Lunar Pokémon====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|Darkrai in Newmoon Island]]
Based on the [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]] and [[wp:new moon|new]] {{wp|moon}}, these two Pokémon seem to be complementary of one another. Cresselia can cure the permanent nightmares that Darkrai causes people to suffer.
* '''{{MS|488|Cresselia}} {{p|Cresselia}}''' resembles the crescent moon. It seems to bring peaceful dreams and is able to heal emotional scars. It can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after it is first encountered on [[Fullmoon Island]]. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} she is a guardian of one of the moon tears.
* '''{{MS|491|Darkrai}} {{p|Darkrai}}''' can induce sleep and control dreams. It is active during nights with no moon, and can cause its victims to thrash about with terrible nightmares. It can be found on [[Newmoon Island]] if the {{player}} has a [[Member's Card]]. A Darkrai was featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], along with one of each of the legendary dragons (except {{p|Giratina}}), while a second made its anime debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''. It has a connection with the dark crystal in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

====Other legendary Pokémon====

* '''{{MS|490|Manaphy}} {{p|Manaphy}}''' is referred to as the "Prince of the Sea." It must be hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, which can, according to the two Ranger games, only be done in warm regions, and has the power to swap the hearts of people and Pokémon, putting them into different bodies. It was featured in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]], where it had the ability to locate the temple of the sea.
* '''{{MS|489|Phione}} {{p|Phione}}''' is the result of breeding Manaphy (or another Phione) with {{p|Ditto}}, and is the only legendary to be obtained in such a manner. Until recently, its status was heavily debated; however, [[Pokémon.com]] revealed that Phione is a legendary.
* '''{{MS|486|Regigigas}} {{p|Regigigas}}''' is the Normal-type Regi that can be found only when the [[Legendary golems|three other Regis]] are reunited. It is said that they moved the continents into place by pulling them on a rope. A Regigigas was awakened in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. In {{game|Platinum}} it is stated that it had shaped itself from an iceberg, rocks, and magma.
* '''{{MS|485|Heatran}} {{p|Heatran}}''' is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found in [[Stark Mountain]]. It was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava and magma pooled together to become the first living Heatran, and later, [[Stark Mountain]], its home. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it is a guardian of a prince tear. It is also the first legendary Pokémon that can be either male or female. A Heatran appeared in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]].
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|Shaymin running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
* '''{{MS|492|Shaymin}}/{{MS|492S|Shaymin}} {{p|Shaymin}}''' is the Gratitude Pokémon that curls up in flower-beds and often goes unnoticed. It has the ability to instantly purify an area of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. It can transform into another Forme. Shaymin and its Sky Forme were featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. Many Shaymin appeared in the film, as well in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}, confirming that the Shaymin species is more common than that of other legendary species. If the player has [[Oak's Letter]], [[Flower Paradise]], where Shaymin is located, can be accessed after their thanks are expressed at the white rock on [[Route 224]].
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|Arceus]]
* '''{{MS|493|Arceus}} {{p|Arceus}}''' is the creation Pokémon said to have been born from an egg in the nothingness of space. It created matter (time and space) and spirit (knowledge, emotion and will) before falling into eternal slumber. It can be awoken by playing the [[Azure Flute]] at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Arceus appears in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]].

===Other Pokémon of myth===
* '''{{MS|059|Arcanine}} {{p|Arcanine}}''''s [[species]] classification is ''Legendary''.
* {{MS|130|Gyarados}} {{MS|350|Milotic}} The fierceness and destructive nature of '''{{p|Gyarados}}''' is described in the [[Pokédex]] as a thing of legend as is the seemingly complementary beauty and calming ability of '''{{p|Milotic}}'''.
* {{MS|479|Rotom}} When facing '''{{p|Rotom}}''', the music is the same as when facing a legendary Pokémon. It, along with the legendary Giratina and Shaymin, has also received new forms in {{v2|Platinum}}. Rotom is sometimes considered to be a '''semi-legendary'''.
* '''{{MS|201|Unown}} {{p|Unown}}''' are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. [[Professor Oak]] referred to them as legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed. In the anime, they appear to live in the [[Unown dimension|same dimension]] as Dialga and Palkia.
* {{MS|149|Dragonite}} {{MS|248|Tyranitar}} {{MS|373|Salamence}} {{MS|376|Metagross}} {{MS|445|Garchomp}} The ''[[pseudo-legendary]]'', Dragon-like Pokémon '''{{p|Dragonite}}''', '''{{p|Tyranitar}}''', '''{{p|Salamence}}''' and '''{{p|Garchomp}}''' are usually placed within the "legendary" section of a regional Pokédex, and are so extraordinarily rare and powerful that they are often mentioned in lists of legendary Pokémon. '''{{p|Metagross}}''' is also considered "pseudo-legendary", due to its stats, and Metagross is also placed within the same section of the Hoenn Pokédex as Salamence.
* {{MS|038|Ninetales}} Like Arcanine, '''{{p|Ninetales}}''' is considered a legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and possessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails. This is specifically mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
* '''{{MS|448|Lucario}} {{p|Lucario}}''' and its master [[Sir Aaron]] were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game. In {{g|Ranger:Shadows of Almia}} he is the only non-legendary guardian of a prince tear. Also, in the opening of the Diamond and Pearl theme song, {{p|Lucario}} appears beside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* '''{{MS|175|Togepi}} {{MS|176|Togetic}} {{MS|468|Togekiss}} {{p|Togepi}}''' and its evolutions are incredibly rare and bring joy wherever they go. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' Togepi is referred to as a savior.
* {{MS|359|Absol}} The presence of '''{{p|Absol}}''' is a fabled warning of impending disaster.
* {{MS|442|Spiritomb}} '''{{p|Spiritomb}}''' was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an [[Odd Keystone]] because of misdeeds 500 years ago.

==Trivia==
* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.
** This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the canon to imply that the [[player]] only ever happens to meet more than one of them, and infact there are others elsewhere.
* Battle themes are shared by related legendaries, while many [[legendary trios]] have a theme specific to themselves. Specifically:
**{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto, as a reference to the fact that in [[Generation I]], there was only one battle theme for wild Pokémon, legendary or not. When they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, they use the standard wild legendary battle theme.
**{{p|Mewtwo}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**{{p|Mew}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Emerald}}, and despite being found in the wild ''only'' in a [[Hoenn]]-based game, it is yet another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} featured the standard wild Pokémon encounter music of [[Johto]], however, in {{game|Crystal}}, this was changed to a theme specific to themselves. When they are encountered in FireRed and LeafGreen, they use the standard legendary battle theme shared with the legendary birds.
**{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} use the standard wild Pokémon encounter music in [[Generation II]], use Mewtwo's theme in [[Generation III]], and finally get their own theme in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
**{{p|Celebi}} has only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when it is encountered.
**{{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation III]] when they are encountered. It was tuned up and reused when they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}.
**{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} have a theme specific to themselves when encountered in [[Generation III]].
**{{p|Deoxys}} features a battle theme specific to itself when battled on [[Birth Island]], making it the first to share its theme with no other Pokémon.
**{{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{p|Phione}} have never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]].
**{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Giratina}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Platinum}} when it is encountered.
**{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered. This theme is, strangely, shared with the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}}, and likewise is shared with {{p|Giratina}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
**{{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}} use the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Arceus}}, perhaps fittingly, has its own theme shared with no others as well. However, it has been noted that its theme is similar to the mysterious radio signal encountered in the Ruins of Alph in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and {{game|Crystal}}.
*Every generation has had at least one {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Flying}} legendary (though in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Shaymin}} is only able to be part-Flying during the daytime, and {{p|Arceus}} is only Flying-type when holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}).
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because GameFreak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and [[lake trio]]).
* As of the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, almost all non-event legendary Pokémon can be caught in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the Johto remakes, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} can be caught in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are in {{v2|Platinum}}.
*{{p|Heatran}} is the only dual-type legendary Pokémon that is not {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Dragon}}.

[[Image:Storybook-entei.jpg|thumb|right|290px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of extremely rare and powerful [[Pokémon]].

In the Japanese version, there are three distinct terms used to refer to those Pokémon which are collectively called ''legendary'' in English. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' (''densetsu no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of legend''), refers to those which are featured prominently in legends, such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The second, '''幻のポケモン''' (''maboroshi no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of illusions'', translated as ''mirage Pokémon'' in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}), refers to those so rarely seen that some question their very existence, such as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lugia}}; an alternative definition restricts it only to Pokémon not available in normal gameplay. The third is '''神話のポケモン''' (''shinwa no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of myth''), which is a term applied to some of the legendary Pokémon of [[Sinnoh]].

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} typically has only one chance to capture a legendary Pokémon, but the same species have appeared in more than one game. Their [[gender]]s are usually unknown, with the exception of {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}}. With the exception of {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}, they will refuse to be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and, for similar reasons, they are often banned from competitions. They are [[stats|statistically]] some of the most powerful Pokémon in the game. They never [[Evolution|evolve]], and many are one-third of a [[legendary trio]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, legendary Pokémon are generally held in higher regard than they are in the games, nearing a god-like reverence. They appear only to special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s (usually the case of [[Ash Ketchum]]). Very few people have actually seen legendary Pokémon. Because of their rarity, they are sought after by trainers and collectors, especially by [[villainous team]]s like [[Team Rocket]].

It has been predicted (and demonstrated) that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon can lead to great catastrophe, as they often hold a pivotal role in nature. But some speculate that if a trainer were to "play by the rules," the results would not be as chaotic. {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, for example, befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{p|Articuno}} and its power never exceeded him. It should be noted, however, that Noland is a very skilled trainer.

As seen with {{p|Lugia}}, some breed in the wild; as seen with {{p|Celebi}}, they are neither immortal nor invincible; and only very few (notably {{p|Mewtwo}}) are unique.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
There are 35 Pokémon considered to be legendary Pokémon, and there are several more with certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon.

===[[Generation I]]===
The legendary Pokémon of Generation I can be broken into two groups: the legendary birds and the Mew-based legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres]]
There are three [[legendary birds]], also referred to as winged mirages. The legendary birds are each based off a mythical bird.

As shown in the [[The Power of One|second movie]], should the three birds be disturbed and turned against each other, they will fight over territory, and, left unabated, their battles will ultimately cause the end of the world. They represent nature's balance and are tied to {{p|Lugia}}. They are strongly linked to the elements {{t|fire}}, {{t|ice}}, and {{t|electric|lightning}}— forces that when combined are believed to yield both the origin of life and the cause of apocalyptic weather disasters. Some fans believe that this scenario applies only to the three birds found near [[Shamouti Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], and that this characteristic does not extend to their species.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], it was shown that the legendary birds could breed, as the player could hatch them from eggs around [[Pokémon Island]] by introducing the eggs to their corresponding element. In {{Pokémon XD}} it's possible to snag all three birds, whom are all under the ownership of [[Greevil]]. Each of the birds can also be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] in {{game|Platinum}}, once the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained.
* '''{{MS|144|Articuno}} {{p|Articuno}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|ice}}. It can be found on [[Seafoam Islands]] in the Generation I games, their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]], and in [[Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the [[Johto]] region in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. A third one was seen in the [[Kanto]] region, with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* '''{{MS|145|Zapdos}} {{p|Zapdos}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|Electric|thunder}}. It can be found at the [[Power Plant]] in the Generation I games, their Generation III remakes, and just outside the Power Plant in HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the Johto region in the episode ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', and a third was seen in the credits of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the sea, flying Jack Walker after he captured it with his Capture Styler. A fourth one that was spotted by [[Team Rocket]] in Sinnoh in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''.
* '''{{MS|146|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|fire}}. It can be found on {{ka|Victory Road}} in the Generation I games, in the [[Sevii Islands]] in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and in [[Silver Cave]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The spirit of Moltres represents the [[Indigo League]] and its flame came alive in the episode ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]''. It also appeared to [[Ritchie]] at [[Sevii Islands]] in the anime.

====Mew and Mewtwo====
[[Image:Mewtwo_mew.jpg|thumb|left|Mewtwo and Mew]]
* '''{{MS|151|Mew}} {{p|Mew}}''' is the {{t|Psychic}} feline Pokémon of ancient legend. It is not obtainable by normal means in any game; however, a [[Mew glitch|glitch]] allows the player to battle and capture Mew in [[Generation I]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, a Nintendo event gave out the Old Sea Map that would take the player to [[Faraway Island]], where Mew could be caught. In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], it is possible to obtain a Mew after depositing 999 Pokémon onto your ranch. It is said to be able to live forever. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to Mew, and thus it represents the origin of life. The bubbly Mew was first seen in the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|first movie]], and later in the special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Another is seen in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]]. A mirage Mew was seen in the Master of Mirage Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|150|Mewtwo}} {{p|Mewtwo}}''' is a genetically altered, unique clone of Mew. It can be found in the [[Cerulean Cave]] in the Generation I games and their remakes. It was statistically the most powerful Pokémon until Generation II. It is also one of the most intelligent, and can communicate freely with humans using telepathy. It is the main character of the first movie, and the ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' specials. After the events of Mewtwo Returns, it is portrayed as taking the cover of night and living amongst humans in big cities.

===[[Generation II]]===
Generation II featured the advent of three new groups of legendary Pokémon, consisting of a total of six.
====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|Raikou, Entei and Suicune]]
The [[legendary beasts]] have variously been referred to as legendary dogs or cats, but beasts is the accepted neutral title. These speedy, powerful creatures were created by Ho-Oh after the burning of [[Brass Tower]]. Because they are unable to restrain their extreme power, they race headlong around the land. They can be found racing around the Johto region in the Generation II games. One can also be found roaming Kanto, after the player gets the National Pokédex, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, depending on the [[starter Pokémon]] the user chooses at the beginning of the game. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], it is possible to snag all three legendary beasts from [[Cipher]] admins.
* '''{{MS|243|Raikou}} {{p|Raikou}}''' is the embodiment of thunder. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Squirtle}}. Raikou was twice seen in the Johto region. It was briefly seen in the episode ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and also in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special.
* '''{{MS|244|Entei}} {{p|Entei}}''' is the embodiment of volcanoes. According to legend, one is born every time a new volcano appears. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Bulbasaur}}. An Entei was seen in the Johto region, in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''. A telepathic Entei was featured in the [[Spell of the Unown|third movie]], but it was only a manifestation of [[Molly Hale]]'s imagination, created by the {{p|Unown}}. An Entei is formed from a statue in Fiore when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] reach the Jungle Relic. It comes to life when they complete {{p|Charizard|the last challenge}} by mistake.
* '''{{MS|245|Suicune}} {{p|Suicune}}''' is the embodiment of the North Wind. It is closely tied with Ho-Oh and the Unown. It is the Pokémon sought by [[Eusine]] in {{game|Crystal}}, and is released upon the completion of the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]] storyline in the Generation II games. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Charmander}}. Ash encountered one at the beginning of the [[Johto]] story arc, in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', again in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and made a [[Suicune (Celebi: Voice of the Forest)|vital appearance]] in the [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|fourth movie]]. Ash also encountered a Suicune in [[Sinnoh]], near the [[Valley Windworks]] in ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!'']].

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh.]]These two additional birds of legend are thought to be closely related, although they are also polar opposites. Ho-Oh is based on the Chinese phoenix, or {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and Lugia on the Japanese sea-kami {{wp|Ryūjin}}.
* '''{{MS|250|Ho-Oh}} {{p|Ho-Oh}}''' is the Guardian of the Skies. This Pokémon is represented by the sun, the sky, rainbows, the color gold, and awakening. It is said to glow in seven colors and see into the future. It resides at the top of the Tin Tower in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{v2|Emerald}}, Ho-Oh is found atop [[Navel Rock]]. Ho-Oh is often seen at the beginning of a new journey, which happened to Ash three times. The spirit of Ho-Oh represents the [[Johto League]]. Ho-Oh is the guardian of the legendary beasts, and it is especially close to Suicune. Ho-Oh is obtainable in {{g|Colosseum}} by completing [[Mt. Battle]] and snagging all the Shadow Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|249|Lugia}} {{p|Lugia}}''' is the Guardian of the Sea. It is represented by the moon, the sea, storms, the color silver, and slumber. Lugia can be found in [[Whirl Islands]] in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Lugia is found beneath Navel Rock. A [[Shadow Lugia]] named XD001 resides in the [[Orre]] region in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and causes havoc. It is under the ownership of [[Greevil]] and is snaggable. Lugia protects the balance of nature. Lugia is the guardian of the legendary birds and is the only creature that can pacify their fighting. One was seen in the second movie. Two more, a parent and a child, were seen near [[Silver Rock Isle]] at the beginning of the [[Master Quest|Whirl Cup]] arc of the anime. In the [[The Power of One|second movie]], [[Lawrence III]] mistook Lugia for the Beast of the Sea, which is actually a chaotic underwater current caused when the legendary birds are disturbed.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].]]
Although it has no relation to Mew, Celebi was dubbed the "New Mew" because of its similar size, shape, stats, and [[National Pokédex]] number. Because of this, it is commonly listed with Mew (and later {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, and {{p|Manaphy}}) in lists of legendary Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|251|Celebi}} {{p|Celebi}}''' is a forest guardian Pokémon that can travel through time. Celebi also has the power to purify [[Shadow Pokémon]] and is connected to the [[Relic Stone]]. Celebi can be summoned by a time flute at the relic stone in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. Celebi can also heal plants and forests, as seen in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}. It is the star of the [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|fourth movie]] and was obtainable in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal via the now-discontinued [[Pokémon Mobile System]] service. On the Japanese Bonus Disk for [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Celebi was a direct download to [[Generation III]] cartridges. During ''Pokémon 10th Anniversary: [[Journey Across America]]'', Celebi was downloadable on US Generation III cartridges. Celebi, when obtainable, is found in [[Ilex Forest]] by bringing the [[GS Ball]] to the [[Ilex Forest shrine]].{{Clear-both}}

===[[Generation III]]===
The Generation III games feature a total of 10 new legendaries.
====Legendary golems====
[[Image:3_regis.jpg|thumb|left|Booster art of Regice, Registeel, and Regirock from {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}}.]]
The legendary {{wp|golem}}-like Regis were featured in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]] as the protectors of the Tree of Beginning, but the true story of their history remains a mystery. They have a strong connection to the fourth Regi and their keeper, '''{{p|Regigigas}}'''.
* '''{{MS|377|Regirock}} {{p|Regirock}}''' is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] in the [[Generation III]] games when the required puzzle is solved. Its location in {{game|Platinum}} is the [[Rock Peak Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|378|Regice}} {{p|Regice}}''' is found in the [[Island Cave]] in the Generation III games after solving a puzzle. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iceberg Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|379|Registeel}} {{p|Registeel}}''' is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in the Generation III games, and, like the other two Regis, a puzzle must be solved before it can be reached. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iron Ruins]].

====Eon Pokémon====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|right|Latias and Latios|220px]]
Latios and Latias (sometimes referred to, collectively, as [[Lati@s]]) are twin {{t|Dragon}}s (one male, one female, respectively) featured in the [[Pokémon Heroes|fifth movie]]. Both can take the shape of humans. According to legend, they guard the water city of [[Alto Mare]], and are revered as gods. They have a strong connection with the [[Soul Dew]].
* '''{{MS|380|Latias}} {{p|Latias}}''', the female twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}. She changes routes whenever the player does, and is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II. She can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} by using the [[Eon Ticket]] obtained from [[Nintendo Power]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, she appears as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red, and as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue.
* '''{{MS|381|Latios}} {{p|Latios}}''', the male twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}. He is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II due to the similar route-changing activities that he shares with them and Latias. He can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}} by using the Eon Ticket obtained from Nintendo Power. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, he appears as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue, and as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red.

====Super-ancient Pokémon====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza]]
The [[Weather conditions|weather]]-related legendary Pokémon represent the balance of nature and play a major role in the storyline of the [[Hoenn]]-based Generation III games. It is said that, at the beginning of time, Groudon raised lands and expanded continents as Kyogre expanded the seas. These Pokémon took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle, soothed by Rayquaza.

They are based on the {{wp|behemoth}}, {{wp|leviathan}}, and {{wp|ziz}} of Hebrew legend.
* '''{{MS|382|Kyogre}} {{p|Kyogre}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the sea by bringing forth constant rain. It is found in the [[Cave of Origin]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, and [[Marine Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Aqua]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|383|Groudon}} {{p|Groudon}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the land by scattering rain clouds and making water evaporate with light and heat. It is found in the Cave of Origin in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}, and [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Magma]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|384|Rayquaza}} {{p|Rayquaza}}''' is the legendary dragon found in the [[Sky Pillar]] in the Generation III games. It is the protector of the skies. It was seen in the [[Destiny Deoxys|seventh movie]].

====Other legendary Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|385|Jirachi}} {{p|Jirachi}}''' is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon who was available from [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s bonus disk in North America and available within [[Pokémon Channel]] in the UK, Europe and Australia (PAL Encoded Regions). It is likened to Mew and Celebi. Jirachi is the star of the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|386|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386A|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386D|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386S|Deoxys}} {{p|Deoxys}}''' is a Pokémon with strange alien and virus-like characteristics. It changes its form depending on the game version in which it is found. The [[Aurora Ticket]] used to obtain Deoxys has been given out in North America at the New York {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} and 2004's [[Pokémon Rocks America]] events. Two different Deoxys were featured in the seventh movie, while a third was featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The Generation IV games feature a total of 14 legendary Pokémon, the most of any generation.
{{Clear-both}}
====Mirage Pokémon====
[[Image:LakeTrio.gif|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf together]]
{{wp|Fairy}}-like creatures that each dwell in a trio of three lakes. Birthed from Arceus, each represents a different aspect of the human mind. They were created to give "spirit" to the world.
* '''{{MS|480|Uxie}} {{p|Uxie}}''' embodies knowledge.
* '''{{MS|481|Mesprit}} {{p|Mesprit}}''' embodies emotion.
* '''{{MS|482|Azelf}} {{p|Azelf}}''' embodies will.

Uxie is located in the [[Lake Acuity|Acuity Cavern]], Mesprit will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Sinnoh after the first encounter in the [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]], and Azelf is found in the [[Lake Valor|Valor Cavern]].

====Legendary dragons====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The three Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are the mascots for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and have the ability to warp the fabric of reality. Birthed from Arceus to create matter, they battle for all of eternity in a different dimension. Dialga and Palkia were featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], and Giratina was featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. All three had their final encounter in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|483|Dialga}} {{p|Dialga}}''' controls time.
* '''{{MS|484|Palkia}} {{p|Palkia}}''' controls space and dimensions.
* '''{{MS|487O|Giratina}}/{{MS|487|Giratina}} {{p|Giratina}}''' controls antimatter, the antithesis to the material world created by Dialga and Palkia together.
Depending on the game version, [[Team Galactic]] will try to gain control of one using the power of the lake trio. Their goal is to use their power to destroy the {{pkmn|universe}} and rebuild it with [[Cyrus]] as a god.

====Lunar Pokémon====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|Darkrai in Newmoon Island]]
Based on the [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]] and [[wp:new moon|new]] {{wp|moon}}, these two Pokémon seem to be complementary of one another. Cresselia can cure the permanent nightmares that Darkrai causes people to suffer.
* '''{{MS|488|Cresselia}} {{p|Cresselia}}''' resembles the crescent moon. It seems to bring peaceful dreams and is able to heal emotional scars. It can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after it is first encountered on [[Fullmoon Island]]. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} she is a guardian of one of the moon tears.
* '''{{MS|491|Darkrai}} {{p|Darkrai}}''' can induce sleep and control dreams. It is active during nights with no moon, and can cause its victims to thrash about with terrible nightmares. It can be found on [[Newmoon Island]] if the {{player}} has a [[Member's Card]]. A Darkrai was featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], along with one of each of the legendary dragons (except {{p|Giratina}}), while a second made its anime debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''. It has a connection with the dark crystal in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

====Other legendary Pokémon====

* '''{{MS|490|Manaphy}} {{p|Manaphy}}''' is referred to as the "Prince of the Sea." It must be hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, which can, according to the two Ranger games, only be done in warm regions, and has the power to swap the hearts of people and Pokémon, putting them into different bodies. It was featured in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]], where it had the ability to locate the temple of the sea.
* '''{{MS|489|Phione}} {{p|Phione}}''' is the result of breeding Manaphy (or another Phione) with {{p|Ditto}}, and is the only legendary to be obtained in such a manner. Until recently, its status was heavily debated; however, [[Pokémon.com]] revealed that Phione is a legendary.
* '''{{MS|486|Regigigas}} {{p|Regigigas}}''' is the Normal-type Regi that can be found only when the [[Legendary golems|three other Regis]] are reunited. It is said that they moved the continents into place by pulling them on a rope. A Regigigas was awakened in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. In {{game|Platinum}} it is stated that it had shaped itself from an iceberg, rocks, and magma.
* '''{{MS|485|Heatran}} {{p|Heatran}}''' is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found in [[Stark Mountain]]. It was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava and magma pooled together to become the first living Heatran, and later, [[Stark Mountain]], its home. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it is a guardian of a prince tear. It is also the first legendary Pokémon that can be either male or female. A Heatran appeared in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]].
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|Shaymin running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
* '''{{MS|492|Shaymin}}/{{MS|492S|Shaymin}} {{p|Shaymin}}''' is the Gratitude Pokémon that curls up in flower-beds and often goes unnoticed. It has the ability to instantly purify an area of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. It can transform into another Forme. Shaymin and its Sky Forme were featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. Many Shaymin appeared in the film, as well in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}, confirming that the Shaymin species is more common than that of other legendary species. If the player has [[Oak's Letter]], [[Flower Paradise]], where Shaymin is located, can be accessed after their thanks are expressed at the white rock on [[Route 224]].
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|Arceus]]
* '''{{MS|493|Arceus}} {{p|Arceus}}''' is the creation Pokémon said to have been born from an egg in the nothingness of space. It created matter (time and space) and spirit (knowledge, emotion and will) before falling into eternal slumber. It can be awoken by playing the [[Azure Flute]] at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Arceus appears in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]].

===Other Pokémon of myth===
* '''{{MS|059|Arcanine}} {{p|Arcanine}}''''s [[species]] classification is ''Legendary''.
* {{MS|130|Gyarados}} {{MS|350|Milotic}} The fierceness and destructive nature of '''{{p|Gyarados}}''' is described in the [[Pokédex]] as a thing of legend as is the seemingly complementary beauty and calming ability of '''{{p|Milotic}}'''.
* {{MS|479|Rotom}} When facing '''{{p|Rotom}}''', the music is the same as when facing a legendary Pokémon. It, along with the legendary Giratina and Shaymin, has also received new forms in {{v2|Platinum}}. Rotom is sometimes considered to be a '''semi-legendary'''.
* '''{{MS|201|Unown}} {{p|Unown}}''' are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. [[Professor Oak]] referred to them as legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed. In the anime, they appear to live in the [[Unown dimension|same dimension]] as Dialga and Palkia.
* {{MS|149|Dragonite}} {{MS|248|Tyranitar}} {{MS|373|Salamence}} {{MS|376|Metagross}} {{MS|445|Garchomp}} The ''[[pseudo-legendary]]'', Dragon-like Pokémon '''{{p|Dragonite}}''', '''{{p|Tyranitar}}''', '''{{p|Salamence}}''' and '''{{p|Garchomp}}''' are usually placed within the "legendary" section of a regional Pokédex, and are so extraordinarily rare and powerful that they are often mentioned in lists of legendary Pokémon. '''{{p|Metagross}}''' is also considered "pseudo-legendary", due to its stats, and Metagross is also placed within the same section of the Hoenn Pokédex as Salamence.
* {{MS|038|Ninetales}} Like Arcanine, '''{{p|Ninetales}}''' is considered a legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and possessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails. This is specifically mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
* '''{{MS|448|Lucario}} {{p|Lucario}}''' and its master [[Sir Aaron]] were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game. In {{g|Ranger:Shadows of Almia}} he is the only non-legendary guardian of a prince tear. Also, in the opening of the Diamond and Pearl theme song, {{p|Lucario}} appears beside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* '''{{MS|175|Togepi}} {{MS|176|Togetic}} {{MS|468|Togekiss}} {{p|Togepi}}''' and its evolutions are incredibly rare and bring joy wherever they go. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' Togepi is referred to as a savior.
* {{MS|359|Absol}} The presence of '''{{p|Absol}}''' is a fabled warning of impending disaster.
* {{MS|442|Spiritomb}} '''{{p|Spiritomb}}''' was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an [[Odd Keystone]] because of misdeeds 500 years ago.

==Trivia==
* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.
** This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the canon to imply that the [[player]] only ever happens to meet more than one of them, and infact there are others elsewhere.
* Battle themes are shared by related legendaries, while many [[legendary trios]] have a theme specific to themselves. Specifically:
**{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto, as a reference to the fact that in [[Generation I]], there was only one battle theme for wild Pokémon, legendary or not. When they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, they use the standard wild legendary battle theme.
**{{p|Mewtwo}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**{{p|Mew}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Emerald}}, and despite being found in the wild ''only'' in a [[Hoenn]]-based game, it is yet another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} featured the standard wild Pokémon encounter music of [[Johto]], however, in {{game|Crystal}}, this was changed to a theme specific to themselves. When they are encountered in FireRed and LeafGreen, they use the standard legendary battle theme shared with the legendary birds.
**{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} use the standard wild Pokémon encounter music in [[Generation II]], use Mewtwo's theme in [[Generation III]], and finally get their own theme in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
**{{p|Celebi}} has only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when it is encountered.
**{{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation III]] when they are encountered. It was tuned up and reused when they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}.
**{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} have a theme specific to themselves when encountered in [[Generation III]].
**{{p|Deoxys}} features a battle theme specific to itself when battled on [[Birth Island]], making it the first to share its theme with no other Pokémon.
**{{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{p|Phione}} have never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]].
**{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Giratina}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Platinum}} when it is encountered.
**{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered. This theme is, strangely, shared with the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}}, and likewise is shared with {{p|Giratina}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
**{{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}} use the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Arceus}}, perhaps fittingly, has its own theme shared with no others as well. However, it has been noted that its theme is similar to the mysterious radio signal encountered in the Ruins of Alph in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and {{game|Crystal}}.
*Every generation has had at least one {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Flying}} legendary (though in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Shaymin}} is only able to be part-Flying during the daytime, and {{p|Arceus}} is only Flying-type when holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}).
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because GameFreak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and [[lake trio]]).
* As of the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, almost all non-event legendary Pokémon can be caught in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the Johto remakes, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} can be caught in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are in {{v2|Platinum}}.
*{{p|Heatran}} is the only dual-type legendary Pokémon that is not {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Dragon}}.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is the Elite [[Champion]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and a powerful wandering {{pkmn|Trainer}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, having relegated his title to [[Wallace]]. He is a {{pkmn|master}} of the {{type2|Steel}}, with a {{p|Metagross}} being the cornerstone of his team.

Steven is the son of the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], and he and his father both collect rare stones. Steven makes his home on {{Ci|Mossdeep}}, and when the Elite Four are beaten in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, he will have left a {{p|Beldum}} and a note for the player.

==In the games==
[[Image:Steven-rs.png|right|thumb|Battling Steven Stone.]]
His strategy in battle is to use Steel Pokémon to find the opponent's weakness.

Steven is the Champion in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In Emerald, [[Wallace]] replaces him in this role.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful wandering trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. He claims to be willing to {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}} to find rare stones. With this hint, he can be found and challenged in the upper area of [[Meteor Falls]] after defeating the Elite Four.

He makes a cameo in [[Vermilion City]] in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}. After the player has defeated {{ga|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]], he will appear on the bottom floor of [[Silph Co.]] and give the player one of the [[Starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Steven Stone.jpg|210px|left|thumb|Steven in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Steven's only appearance in the [[Pokémon anime]] was in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. He helped {{Ash}}, {{Ashfr|his friends}}, and [[Team Rocket]] escape from an underground cavern.

At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.

His Japanese voice actor is 西　凛太郎 ''Rintarō Nishi'' and his English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Steven met {{Special|Ruby}} while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild {{p|Mawile}}, Ruby's {{p|Skitty}} bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing it to evolve.

Steven was well-aware of the danger [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can chip away stone with, to grab and retrieve rocks he sees that are out of reach.

Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the [[Devon Corporation]], knew about the schemes of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] quite long ago. [[Mr. Stone]] built the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.

Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of {{Special|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}}, Steven and the [[Elite Four]] unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.

Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to [[Wallace]], who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven apparently died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his {{p|Celebi}}.

Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a [[Villa]] but sold it to {{Special|Platinum}} and returned to Hoenn at the start of the {{Special|Platinum chapter}}.

Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.

==In the TCG==
In the TCG, Steven appears on the card {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Steven's Advice|92}} in the {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} and {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansions.

==Quotes==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
''"Welcome, [[player character|[player]]]. I was looking forward to seeing you here one day. You... What did you see on your journey with Pokémon? What did you feel, meeting so many other Trainers like you? What has awoken in you? I want you to hit me with it all! Now, bring it!"''

''"I, the Champion, fall in defeat... Kudos to you, [[player character|[player]]]! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"''

''"Congratulations! The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the Pokémon that responded to those feelings with all their might... They came together as one, and created an even greater power. And thus, you were able to grasp victory today! You are rightfully the Hoenn region's new..."''

''"[[player character|[player]]]... No, the new Champion! Come with me. I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with the Professor."''

''"This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''
==== Trainer's Eyes ====
'''Strategy''' -
Pick on the foe's weakness.

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
The ultimate Steel Pokémon

'''Self-Introduction''' -
When it comes down to it, I'm still the strongest!

===Pokémon Emerald===
''"Oh, wow, [[player character|[player]]]. I'm amazed you knew where to find me. Do you, uh...maybe think of me as just a rock maniac? No, that can't be right. We battled alongside each other at the Sootopolis Space Center. You should have a very good idea about how good I am. Okay, [player], if you're going to mount a serious challenge, expect the worst!"''

''"You... I had no idea you'd become so strong..."''

''"Come to think of it, ever since our paths first crossed in [[Granite Cave]] in {{to|Dewford}}, I had this feeling. I thought that you would eventually become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. My predictions usually come true. And where will you go from here? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Fufufu, even I couldn't tell you that."''

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Emerald}}, when the {{player}} speaks to him in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he makes an error. He talks of their encounter in the [[Sootopolis City]] Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]], and this dialog may result from the encounter the player has with him in Sootopolis in Ruby and Sapphire.
* Also, the battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a double battle. Several others are available in the Battle Frontier and multiple times in [[Generation IV]].
* In the anime, Steven is the Champion with the least amount of screen time, appearing in one episode, while everyone else has appeared more than once. He is also the only Champion not to play a significant role in the anime.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the guy who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This may refer to Steven, as in the Pokémon Special manga, it is Steven who sells his house to {{Special|Platinum}}.

Player character

2009-09-12T14:46:42Z

SonicTurbo97: /* Main series */

[[Image:RedStart.png|frame|{{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]] is about to begin....]]
A '''player character''' in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the protagonist of the {{pkmn|games}}, the avatar of the player. Player characters are usually remarkably silent, only able to answer yes and no to questions. This is so that the player can "fill in" what they imagine the character is thinking, feeling and acting, thus immersing the player within the world of the game.

==Gameplay==
===Main series===
In the mainstream games, they are always [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. At the conclusion of their journey, most will have conquered a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Those who do the above will most often start their journey in their hometown by getting, or shortly before getting, a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type2|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex.

In {{game|Crystal}}, and each game in the [[main series]] which followed it, players were also able to pick the [[gender]] of the lead, more often than not to match their own.

Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] who must defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[snagged Pokémon]] from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation. In [[Generation II]], when {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control, to challenge to the second highest-[[level]]ed [[Pokémon battle]] that has appeared in the series (it eventually was surpassed by {{ga|Pearl}} in {{v2|Platinum}}). The [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|original games]] from [[Generation I]] also got [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]] in [[Generation III]], with Red as the male protagonist. Red is assumed to also appear in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, serving the same role as he did in Generation II, only this time, [[Red's Pikachu]] is now a whopping Lv88, regaining his honor as the highest leveled opponent in the main series games.

===Side series===
In the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} series, [[Solana]], [[Lunick]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Kate}} are not Pokémon Trainers, but instead {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s. They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon for the first time. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks, but is given pre-generated phrases to say to questions.

In the Card GB series, [[Mark]] and [[Mint]] do not use actual Pokémon themselves, but cards instead.

===Others===
In {{g|Snap}}, [[Todd Snap]] must strive for something different from Trainers. He must capture all the Pokémon on [[Pokémon Island]] — on film.

In [[Pokémon Trozei!]], players control [[Lucy Fleetfoot]].

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, five of the player characters have been given major roles, three of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} and [[Ritchie]] represent {{ga|Red}}, being based on him in appearance as well as basic history. At the beginning of {{series2|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]] to viewers, as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters native to [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash.

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] were not represented in Ash's party, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Gold}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances in the anime, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling {{ga|Brendan}}.

==Trivia==
* All of the female player characters from the main series who have been in the anime are [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s either full-time or part-time.
* None of the male player characters from the [[main series]] (or their counterparts) have encountered {{Ash}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} was the only one besides Ash to have more than merely a cameo. The only male player character in all of the Pokémon games to have encountered Ash is [[Kellyn]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
* Leaf is the only player character from the handheld games so far not to appear in the anime either through a cameo or a counterpart.
* [[Kellyn]], {{OBP|Kate|Ranger}}, [[Todd]], and [[Wes]] are the only player characters who do not wear any sort of headgear.
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialog during his appearance as an NPC in [[Generation II]] references the Pokémon games' player characters' status as silent protagonists. In those games, his dialog with the player character(s) of those games consists only of ellipses.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and the League [[Champion]] in [[Generation II]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the [[League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become League Champion.

He raises {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather was the elder of a famous clan of Dragon masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

Lance appeared at [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket in [[Johto]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

===Pokémon===
This listing is for Lance's Pokémon in the video games in which he has appeared.

===={{g|Stadium 2}}====

In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lance is the champion, who is fought at the end of the Elite Four. As the player must use the same Pokémon that it used against the Elite Four, Lance is extremely difficult to defeat with Rental Pokémon, but not impossible (due to the element of chance). Once Lance is defeated, the player can battle any gym leaders in the Kanto region at any time.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lance LoT.png|left|240px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
[[Image:Lance Disguised TR.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Rocket member]]
Lance is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]]. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.

Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a {{shiny2|Red}} {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the [[Red Gyarados]] at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Lance Special.png|300px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Special]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon.

Apparently also from [[Viridian City]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the [[Viridian Forest]] as {{Special|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds.

Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance tried to summon {{p|Lugia}} on [[Cerise Island]] to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{Special|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Mask of Ice]].

==Trivia==
* Every Pokémon Lance battles with, save in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, knows {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon: the Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, all his Dragonite from [[Generation II]] are underleveled.
* If [[Wallace]] and [[Cynthia]] are not counted, Lance is the only [[Elite Four]] member to have appeared in person twice in the {{pkmn|anime}}, not counting flashbacks or on TV, as both [[Lucian]] and {{EF|Aaron}} have appeared more than once, with only one time being in person.
* It is interesting to note that as of {{game|Yellow}} Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released and his sprite in Red and Blue is grayish-blue in color.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. Interestingly, all six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
* Lance, [[Bruno]], and [[Koga]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all four generations.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and the League [[Champion]] in [[Generation II]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the [[League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become League Champion.

He raises {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather was the elder of a famous clan of Dragon masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

Lance appeared at [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket in [[Johto]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

===={{g|Stadium 2}}====

In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lance is the champion, who is fought at the end of the Elite Four. As the player must use the same Pokémon that it used against the Elite Four, Lance is extremely difficult to defeat with Rental Pokémon, but not impossible (due to the element of chance). Once Lance is defeated, the player can battle any gym leaders in the Kanto region at any time.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lance LoT.png|left|240px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
[[Image:Lance Disguised TR.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Rocket member]]
Lance is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]]. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.

Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a {{shiny2|Red}} {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the [[Red Gyarados]] at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Lance Special.png|300px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Special]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon.

Apparently also from [[Viridian City]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the [[Viridian Forest]] as {{Special|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds.

Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance tried to summon {{p|Lugia}} on [[Cerise Island]] to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{Special|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Mask of Ice]].

==Trivia==
* Every Pokémon Lance battles with, save in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, knows {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon: the Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, all his Dragonite from [[Generation II]] are underleveled.
* If [[Wallace]] and [[Cynthia]] are not counted, Lance is the only [[Elite Four]] member to have appeared in person twice in the {{pkmn|anime}}, not counting flashbacks or on TV, as both [[Lucian]] and {{EF|Aaron}} have appeared more than once, with only one time being in person.
* It is interesting to note that as of {{game|Yellow}} Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released and his sprite in Red and Blue is grayish-blue in color.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. Interestingly, all six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
* Lance, [[Bruno]], and [[Koga]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all four generations.

'''Tauros''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケンタロス''' ''Kentauros'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tauros is a three tailed brown bull with a dark brown mane, silver-colored horns and three silver studs on his forehead.
====Gender differences====
Tauros is a male-only species. The female counterpart is {{p|Miltank}}.

====Special abilities====
Tauros are violent, rowdy Pokémon that are able to whip themself into a frenzy using their three pronged tail. They are unable to stop themselves once they charge. Like most Normal types, Tauros can learn many different types of attacks.

===Behavior===
Tauros are rowdy Pokémon, once they've started a rampage they will not stop until they hit something. They increase their will to fight by whipping themselves with their three tails. They live and travel in herds with the herd's protector probably leading the others. Tauros are also known to lock horns with each other in battle and they usually take pride in their battle-scarred horns. When there are no opponents to battle, Tauros will charge at trees to satisfy their need for a challenge and calm themselves.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Tauros are rarely found in the wild. However, the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] has many herds, and more appear in expansive, grassy meadows found in the western [[Johto]] region, among other areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
[[Image:Ash's Tauros.jpg|thumb|[[Ash's Tauros]]]]
==In the anime==
Tauros first appeared briefly in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the Laramie farm.

{{Ash}} captured 30 of these Wild Bull Pokémon in [[EP035]], which was banned in North America, leading to confusion for some. The first time Ash ever used any of his {{AP|Tauros}} in a battle was against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]''.

[[Ethan]] used Tauros to pull his stagecoach in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]''.

Many Tauros where seen in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' in [[Palmpona]] Town. Ash brought his from Oak's for this occasion as well, but sent it back soon after.

A Tauros is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A group of a Tauros also appeared in [[DP140]].

==Trivia==
* Tauros is the only [[Gender|male-only]] Pokémon that had its female counterpart introduced in a different [[Generation]].
*Tauros is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
*Tauros is the only Pokémon able to use {{m|Horn Attack}}, that receives [[STAB]] from it.
* Despite Tauros' large muscular build, its best stat is neither Attack nor Defense, but Speed.
* Even though Tauros is based off a bovine, he has single-toed hooves like a horse.

===Origin===
Tauros is most likely based on a bull or a bison.
====Name origin====
Tauros's name is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, ''Kentauros'', which is comes from {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} Κένταυρος, {{wp|Centaur}}. It could also be a misspelling of ''{{wp|Centaurus}}''.

It is worth noting that ''taurus'', Latin for {{wp|bull}}, is also the name of {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|another constellation}}.

The '''Kanto region''' (Japanese: '''カントー地方''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a large area located east of [[Johto]], north of [[Hoenn]], and south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the [[Generation I]] games and in the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]. Kanto is also accessible in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]] after the quest in Johto is completed.

Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]], though in Yellow the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

It is based on and named after the real {{wp|Kantō region}} (関東, meaning "east of the barrier") in Japan. Unlike almost every other region, which are specific to their own generations, Kanto has been explorable in all generations of Pokémon games so far, including Generation IV. However, it is not the primary region in the Generation II and IV games it appears in, in which players explore the neighboring Johto region before exploring Kanto.

===Routes===
Routes in Kanto began the numbering process, going from {{rtn|1}} to {{rtn|25}} in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], but adding three routes to connect to Johto ({{rtn|26}}, {{rtn|27}}, and {{rtn|28}}) in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==Indigo League==
{{main|Indigo League}}

==In Generations I and III==

Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, the first three in a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located east and southeast of Kanto, are unlocked once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. [[Champion]]ing the [[Elite Four]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

==In Generations II and IV==
In the Generation II games, trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of the three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games:

* The Safari Zone is closed (becomes [[Pal Park]] in Generation IV)
* Cerulean Cave has collapsed (untrue in Generation IV)
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its gym was temporarily relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* Viridian Forest has been cut down (untrue in Generation IV) and Mt. Moon has decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower.
* Blue has remodeled Giovanni's former gym and functions as the Gym Leader.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym, seeing as her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* The Pewter City Museum is closed for renovations.

==In Generation IV==
Although Kanto has not been discussed as much as Johto for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is known that the [[Magnet Train]] and the [[S.S. Aqua]] can be used to travel between Kanto and Johto. In addition, [[a:File:JohtoMap.png|the map artwork of Johto released]] depicts the western half of [[Route 22]] and everything to the west of it in Kanto (such as the Kanto routes introduced in Generation II and the Pokémon League headquarters at [[Indigo Plateau]]) alongside the entire Johto region. It is likely that the differences from its original Generation I appearance (and later its appearance in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|its Generation III remakes]]) seen in Generation II will be present.

==Trivia==
*Kanto's name was never revealed in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} outside of Japan, causing many fans to think the region was called Indigo (because of the [[Indigo Plateau]]). It was mentioned only once in the Japanese versions upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at the rival's house. The first mention of its name outside of Japanese context was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Despite this, its name is mentioned multiple times in the [[Generation III]] remakes, including but not limited to viewing the Town Map at the beginning of the games.
*Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate anime [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the [[original series]]), and once after Ash returned from Hoenn (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). It is also the only in-game region that has not had continuous time spent in it for more than one [[dub]] [[season]].
**Until Platinum's release, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), it was also the only region in the anime where Ash defeated the Gym Leaders in a different order from the games.
*Kanto is mentioned during the event in which players capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that somewhere in the Kanto region there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224}} in Sinnoh, although no such rock has appeared in past games taking place in Kanto. As Kanto appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Shaymin event may be activated here as well.
*If the Sevii Islands were considered part of Kanto, then Kanto would be the largest region in the games. Otherwise, they add up to make {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} the games with the greatest amount of visitable area.
*Kanto is the only region that is accessible in every generation (albeit not in every game in every generation): {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}} and {{v2|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]], {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver|s}} and {{v2|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in [[Generation III]], and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in [[Generation IV]].
*Kanto is the only region that shares its name with the {{wp|List of regions of Japan|region of Japan}} it is based on.
*In its Generation I and III appearances (i.e. the games in which it is the primary region), Kanto is the only region where the {{player}} doesn't need {{m|Waterfall}} to get to the [[Elite Four]]. Pokémon Trainers from Johto, however, ''do'' need Waterfall.
**It is the only region where the League is west of all of the Gyms. This does consider Johto, whose Gyms are all west of the Indigo Plateau.
*Kanto is the only region in the main series in which all the cities have Gyms, and none of the towns do.
*Kanto is the only region that does not have a Battle Frontier in the handheld games.
**However, it has {{ho|Battle Frontier|one}} in the anime.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} [[Pokémon]].

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

It is one of the most famous legendary Pokémon, being the subject of the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the very first Pokémon movie]], [[Mewtwo Returns|a later special]] that continues its story, and as a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first Pokémon created by science. The scientists who created it dreamed of making the strongest Pokémon ever.
===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has many feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless, and is unique.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can fly through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a slightly lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}).

In the [[Pokémon Special]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes powerful enough to destroy the planet.

===Behavior===
Mewtwo is very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}}. During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to Giovanni just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in [[Cerulean Cave]]'s basement. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the games==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}} whose embryo had been tampered with and its DNA had been repetitively spliced. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]] (now known as Mr. Fuji), performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled to [[Cerulean Cave|the Unknown Dungeon]]. There, the {{player}} may capture it after beating the [[Elite Four]]. Cerulean Cave collapses [[Generation II|three years later]], and it leaves the mysterious {{DL|In-battle effect item|Berserk Gene}} in a lake near the collapsed Cerulean Cave (implying that the encounter did happen).

==In the anime==
[[File:Mirgae Mewtwo dark.png|thumb|right|225px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
{{main|Mewtwo (anime)}}

While {{an|Mewtwo}} has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when [[Giovanni]] used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie.

A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Mirage Master]].

Mewtwo appears chasing a {{p|Mew}} during the opening of [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Special===
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{Special|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] but were defeated when their condition weakened them. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{p|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni.

===In Pokémon Get da ze!===
[[Shū]]'s father is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure===
During the final volume of [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure|this manga]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
Mewtwo is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in VS. Mode; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Ironically for its legendary status, Mewtwo is considered to be the poorest character when played at the highest metagame. It is easy to knock off the stage due to its large body and light weight. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, does not have any fast defensive options and also has general problems with some of its other moves. This all leads to Mewtwo's position in the bottom tier.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was born from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.

=====Adventure Mode=====
As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. {{m|Shadow Ball}} traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses {{m|Confusion}} to spin its foes around.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. {{m|Teleport}} has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses {{m|Disable}}; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way but this does show that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game as there is the picture for ending classic mode of Mewtwo, and Mewtwo's voice was also found on the disc, but there is a chance that the data for Mewtwo is merely recycled from Melee. Mewtwo does appear as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty, however.
====Trophy information====
A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks.

===Merchandise===
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA Strand as its Header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its Jewel.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}. This makes it the Pokémon with the highest Special Attack if event Pokémon are not counted.
** Mewtwo was initially the only Pokémon with a [[base stat]] total of 590 (increased to 680 from [[Generation II]] onwards), at the time the highest in the game. It was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}}, and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
* In [[Pokémon Special]], shortly after Mewtwo was revealed, ironically, (although no one knew what it was) {{Special|Red}} mentioned there being 150 Pokémon, not knowing about Mew. After this, {{Special|Blue}} contradicted Red, saying there were 151, and most [[Pokémon Breeder]]s' goals included finding Mew, to whom they referred to as #151, Mew. However, none of these people knew about #150, as it was secretly being created when this was pointed out, so only [[Team Rocket]], Red, and Blue knew about Mewtwo.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* In the games, Mew was said to have given live birth to Mewtwo during Generation I. Pokémon were shown to hatch from {{pkmn|egg}}s, however, in the following generation. The statement about Mew giving birth remains in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* For unknown reasons, a {{shiny2}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* One of Mewtwo's alternate "costumes" in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] makes it green, similar to its normal shiny form.
* In the games, its birthday is February 6, as stated in a journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mewtwo's Standard Special attack, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{p|Jigglypuff}}, a {{type2|Normal}}, which it would not normally be able to do. This is not usually considered a true representation of the move, as in other games of that series, moves that are usually super-effective against a type do not apply, e.g. in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] {{p|Charizard}}'s Flamethrower does not deal massive amounts of damage to {{p|Lucario}} or {{p|Ivysaur}}, and similarly does not deal very low damage to {{p|Squirtle}}.
* Although Mewtwo's signature move in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as in the {{pkmn|anime}}, is Shadow Ball, it can't learn Shadow Ball without [[TM30]].
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that is not a [[version mascot]].

===Origin===
Mewtwo is the result of humankind's attempts at creating a genetically enhanced clone of a Pokémon.

Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelly}}'s ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'', in which a life-form created through unnatural means turns on its creators. Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene-splicing.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''two'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

Treecko first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''. [[Professor Birch]] was showing {{an|May}} the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".

[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Sceptile}} that he caught as a Treecko in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''. It evolved into Grovyle in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'', and in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', it reached its final form.

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] was taking care of a Treecko, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} that a little girl named {{ho|Stephanie}} was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.

A Treecko is also one of the hosts of the live-action series [[Pokémon Sunday]].

{{p|Mew}} took the form of a Treecko in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''

==Trivia==
*Treecko and its evolutions are the only {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] that are not quadrupedal. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], its walking pose shows it on all four feet.
*It is the only Grass-type starter that cannot learn the move {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* Treecko's is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the [[Plant (egg group)|Plant egg group]]. The other is the [[Lileep (Pokémon)|Lileep line]].
*In the video for the [[Hoenn Pokérap]], Treecko's name is misspelled, omitting the c.

===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.
====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.

'''Espeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エーフィ''' ''Eifie'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Eevee}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|Happiness]] during the [[Time|day]], or when around a [[Evolutionary stone#Sun Shard|Sun Shard]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Espeon is the result of an Eevee trusting a Pokémon Trainer very much, then being leveled up during the day. Resembling a cat, it has lavender fur, large ears with long tufts of fur below them, a red gem on its forehead and a pair of pupiless eyes with white irises and purple {{wp|sclera}}s. Its tail, which is forked a bit like a {{p|Buizel}}'s, helps it to foresee possible futures. Its catlike appearance and red gem have caused some to mistake it for a relative of {{p|Persian}}, however, this gem merely augments its psychic powers.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Espeon has developed {{t|Psychic}} powers due to a combination of great loyalty to its trainer and sunlight, such as the ability to predict its opponents' movements by reading the air currents. Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Espeon can learn {{M|Hyper Beam}} or {{M|Giga Impact}}. One would also assume that Espeon can learn {{m|Power Gem}} due to being a gem-bearing Pokémon, but it cannot.

===Behavior===
Espeon are very loyal to their trainers and will protect them from harm. They enjoy basking in full sunlight.

===Habitat===
Espeon are usually found in areas that receive a lot of light, or, more commonly under the care of people.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Espeon.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Espeon in the anime]]
[[Sakura]]'s Eevee evolved into {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}} at some point between ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'' and ''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]''.

An Espeon was also in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'' under the ownership of {{mov|Annie}}.

[[Lilian]] owns an Espeon. It was only seen in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' to test the stage's lighting effects.

An Espeon was the third and final Pokémon used by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} during her rematch against {{Ash}} for the Ability [[Symbol]] in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''. The Sun Pokémon was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]].

In [[DP010|''Not On MY Watch ya Don't'']], Espeon was one of the Pokémon being hypnotized by {{p|Psyduck}}.

Espeon made a small cameo in the beginning of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' together with an {{p|Eevee}} and the other six [[Eeveelution]]s.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|EP226|Espeon|Ash's Pokédex|Espeon, the Sun Pokémon. Espeon are able to read air currents allowing it to {{m|Future Sight|predict the future}} as well as its opponents' next [[Move|moves]].}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
{{Special|Red}}'s genetically-altered {{p|Eevee}} evolved into [[Vui|Espeon]] permanently after the battle against Elite Four prior to the events of {{PSV|9}}.

==Trivia==
* Espeon and {{p|Glaceon}} are the only [[Eeveelution]]s that share the {{stat|Special Attack|same highest base stat}}. However, Espeon has a higher {{stat|Speed}} stat, while Glaceon has a higher {{stat|Defense}} stat.
* Espeon is not obtainable in {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back, or traded from [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]] or from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]].
* Espeon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Sunflora}}. They are both known as Sun Pokémon.
* Its forked tail in the previous generations were thicker than its [[Generation IV]] sprites depict.
* Espeon is one of two Pokémon that can be obtained via more than one evolution method. The other one is Espeon's counterpart, {{p|Umbreon}}.
* Oddly, Espeon can learn {{m|Zap Cannon}} in earlier generations, but can't learn weaker {{type2|Electric}} moves.
* Espeon shares type and color similarities with the legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}, both are purple colored {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon whose [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny sprite]] is green.
*Espeon bears a resemblance to Blaze the Cat in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

==Origin==
It appears to be based on legend of the {{wp|nekomata}}, also known as bake-neko. Nekomata are mysterious two-tailed goblin cats. It can also resemble a Carbuncle, a Latin-American mythological beast which had a jewel on its forehead. Its forked tail may also be related to its ability to see the different, forking paths of fate. It is also based on a {{wp|cat}}.
===Name origin===
Espeon's name is derived from ''ESP'', or {{wp|extra-sensory perception}}, a branch of psychic abilities. ''-eon'' is the suffix common to all of Eevee's evolutions. Espeon's Japanese name is probably derived from the fact that its forked tail looks similar to a capital letter "F". It is also possible that the name comes from the word {{wp|espionage}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Psiana - From ''psychic''. Ends with ''-a'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mentali - From ''mental''. Ends with ''-li'' like every Eeveelution in French.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{P|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{P|Magneton}} or {{P|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{P|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{P|Alakazam}}. It can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together.

====Gender differences====
Metagross is a genderless species, as are its pre-evolutions, Beldum and Metang.

====Special abilities====
Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Metagross anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

Metagross's debut appearance was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild {{shiny2}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]].

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Special]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{P|Metang}} and many {{P|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta. It starts by hovering above the stage before crashing down and creating an {{m|Earthquake}}.

==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Although it is said that Metagross is made up of two Metang, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of getting together with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
* Metagross is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] that does not have a 4× weakness.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution the earliest of all [[Pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves.
** It is also the only genderless pseudo-legendary.
* Metagross's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metagross has the highest Attack stat of any Steel-type and the second highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Metagross is the fifth heaviest Pokémon, and the heaviest of all non-legendary Pokémon.
*Metagross, along with its evolutions, are the only non-legendary Pokemon to have a catch rate of 3.
===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}. It may also be based on spider mechs.
====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its size.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed in the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] or through a Nintendo event.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray underside, and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes with red pupils. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus is normally a pure {{type2|Normal}}, it has the [[ability]] to {{a|Multitype|change its type and appearance}} when in contact with special [[plate]]s.

Arceus also has the [[signature move|unique ability]] to {{m|Judgment|call down shots of light}} on its foes. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}.

Arceus is the only non-Dragon type Pokemon other than Smeargle who can learn [[Draco Meteor]], although it is a pure {{type2|Dragon}} when holding a Draco Plate.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michīna]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

==In the manga==
Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. He gives Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michiina]] rich and fertile. Arceus was betrayed by Damos and carry the rage happened that day.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Advent of Arceus}} expansion.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level [[legendary]] Pokémon available for capture.
* In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all.
* Holding the Sky Plate, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can be in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has its own unique battle music when it is encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Deoxys}}, as well as {{p|Giratina}} (in {{v2|Platinum}} only).
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake trio|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed in the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] or through a Nintendo event.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray underside, and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes with red pupils. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus is normally a pure {{type2|Normal}}, it has the [[ability]] to {{a|Multitype|change its type and appearance}} when in contact with special [[plate]]s.

Arceus also has the [[signature move|unique ability]] to {{m|Judgment|call down shots of light}} on its foes. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}.

Arceus is the only non-Dragon type Pokemon other than Smeargle who can learn [[Draco Meteor]], although it is a pure {{type2|Dragon}} type when holding a Draco Plate.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michīna]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

==In the manga==
Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. He gives Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michiina]] rich and fertile. Arceus was betrayed by Damos and carry the rage happened that day.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Advent of Arceus}} expansion.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level [[legendary]] Pokémon available for capture.
* In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all.
* Holding the Sky Plate, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can be in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has its own unique battle music when it is encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Deoxys}}, as well as {{p|Giratina}} (in {{v2|Platinum}} only).
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake trio|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed in the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] or through a Nintendo event.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray underside, and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes with red pupils. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus is normally a pure {{type2|Normal}}, it has the [[ability]] to {{a|Multitype|change its type and appearance}} when in contact with special [[plate]]s.

Arceus also has the [[signature move|unique ability]] to {{m|Judgment|call down shots of light}} on its foes. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}.

Arceus is the only non-Dragon type Pokemon other than Smeargle who can learn [[Draco Meteor]], although it is a pure [[Dragon]] type when holding a Draco Plate.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michīna]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

==In the manga==
Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. He gives Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michiina]] rich and fertile. Arceus was betrayed by Damos and carry the rage happened that day.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Advent of Arceus}} expansion.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level [[legendary]] Pokémon available for capture.
* In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all.
* Holding the Sky Plate, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can be in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has its own unique battle music when it is encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Deoxys}}, as well as {{p|Giratina}} (in {{v2|Platinum}} only).
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake trio|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed in the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] or through a Nintendo event.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray underside, and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes with red pupils. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus is normally a pure {{type2|Normal}}, it has the [[ability]] to {{a|Multitype|change its type and appearance}} when in contact with special [[plate]]s.

Arceus also has the [[signature move|unique ability]] to {{m|Judgment|call down shots of light}} on its foes. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}.

Arceus is the only non-Dragon type Pokemon other than Smeargle who can learn {{Draco Meteor}}, although he is a pure {{Dragon}} type when holding a Draco Plate.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michīna]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

==In the manga==
Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. He gives Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michiina]] rich and fertile. Arceus was betrayed by Damos and carry the rage happened that day.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Advent of Arceus}} expansion.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level [[legendary]] Pokémon available for capture.
* In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all.
* Holding the Sky Plate, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can be in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has its own unique battle music when it is encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Deoxys}}, as well as {{p|Giratina}} (in {{v2|Platinum}} only).
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake trio|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

It is stated in-game that there were two official gyms, both giving badges, however after a battle in which the Psychic gym won, it lost its official status.

The Dojo is closed in [[Generation II]], because the leader is training in [[Johto]]'s [[Mount Mortar]].

===Magnet Train station===
In Generation II and Generation IV, the [[Magnet Train]] runs from Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], connecting the two regions.

The part of the mountain range consisting of mountains such as [[Mt. Moon]], [[Cerulean Cave]] and [[Mt. Silver]] can be seen north of [[Cerulean City]]. Interestingly, a minor building with some blurry text can be seen. However, the text seems to start with a "F", which possibly may mean that it is the [[Fighting Dojo]]. {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Pidgeot}} or {{p|Butterfree}} can sometimes been seen.

During the intro, {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen lying on a [[Poké Ball]].

Safari Zone

2009-08-08T09:31:49Z

SonicTurbo97:

'''Safari Zones''' are special preserves for rare [[wild Pokémon]], found in several regions. Their mechanics are not too different from each other. All have a {{PDollar}}500 entry fee, a certain amount of time to be spent within, and thirty {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation I Poké Balls|Safari Balls}}, with which players may catch any Pokémon they come upon. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that trainers do not initiate [[Pokémon battle]]s with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without harming them. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time, which can cause certain levels of frustration among players who encounter particularly rare species, or even [[shiny Pokémon]].

Safari Zones can be found in the following regions:
*The [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in [[Kanto]], located within [[Fuchsia City]]
*The [[Beta Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in [[Kanto]] in [[Generation II]], also located in [[Fuchsia City]], which is an unaccessible beta area programmed into the game.
*The [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in [[Hoenn]], located off of {{rt|121}} near [[Lilycove City]]
*The [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]], located within [[Pastoria City]]
*The Safari Zone in [[Johto]] (HG/SS) located within [[Cianwood City]].
[[Johto]]'s [[National Park]] shares some aspects with the Safari Zones; however, these are mainly in that it is a nature preserve for Pokémon. Its thrice-weekly [[Bug-Catching Contest]] also has several likenesses to the Safari Game.
