== Any way to do this? ==

Since this is a talk page, I'm wondering if it's possible to eliminate the regional Pokédex entries from the template if there's no data for them, instead of having that dash. It'd make it a lot easier to see at a glance which regions the Pokémon's naturally available in, or what generation it is. Might be a bit problematic if we take into account Pokémon in the Hoenn dex beyond 202, though. Feedback? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 02:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly like this change to the numbers section. It does not cope well with the case where a Pokémon is not in the regional Pokédex. Also, it's a blatant copy of what Wikipedia does for their infobox. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 22:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not fond of it either. It's not particularly useful and it doesn't fit the rest of the template very well, I think. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 23:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
::Since we are agreed, then I will change it back. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 05:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
:::All right. Though... I never changed it in the first place, because I know I'd've screwed something up. I was just wondering if it was possible. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::::No, we weren't talking about your proposal, which is reasonable, if difficult. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ah, okay. Sorry 'bout that, then. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== Habitat? ==

Should the habitat (based on the FRLG dexlist thing) be included in the infobox? It'd of course be N/A for Gen IV and beyond Pokémon, unless that's still in the data like the color is...

The only problem is that we'd have to go though the first 386 to include it. Should we? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 18:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

== The MS sprites. ==

Should they even be in the infobox? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, but not until someone finds a good-looking way to include them. And we should add the animated Emerald sprites for Pokémon from Generations I-III. --[[Image:224MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|Contribs]][[Image:480MS.png]] 21:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Name Pronunciations? ==

Should we add a section on how to pronounce the Pokémon's name to the Infobox? I for one have trouble correctly pronouncing a name correctly if I read it but don't hear or see it pronounced correctly, so I think that it would be a feature that would be a good addition to the Pokémon pages. I know that it might take a lot of work to find and input all of the pronunciations, but I think that it would be worth it. '''Goldenpoke[[User:Goldenrod111|1]][[User_talk:Goldenpoke111|1]][[Special:Contributions/Goldenpoke111|1]]''' 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

:I tried to help put them in but it wouldn't work,what's wrong?[[User:Ultamatecharizard|Ultamatecharizard]] 19:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

== Type categories ==

So, does anyone know why all Pokémon stopped being categorized by type? I'm guessing it's here somewhere... --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 09:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Base Happiness ==

Should there be a section on the base happiness of a Pokemon? [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] 05:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

== Links ==

The pages for all the regional Pokédexes have been moved from "List of Pokémon by X Dex number" to "List of Pokémon by X Pokédex number". It's be nice if someone could update the links in the infobox to reflect that. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 22:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

:Done. Don't be afraid if there's some downtime...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah. That's why it was protected in the first place. Thanks, and sorry to bother you with this. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 22:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

== Ability ==

'''Should we talk about when it was introduced for the Pokemon in which generation? Or should we put that in the article itself?''' [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:probably. when TTE becomes available, ill talk to him about it. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 20:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pron ==

Can't you just add the ''sc'' to the template? *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 14:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

== Basic Japanese romanization ==

Is it possible to add the Japanese pronunciation of the Pokémon's name? Such as showing that Lucario's name would be pronounced ''Rukario''. I was hoping that maybe this could help stop weeaboos who think Pikachu's Japanese name is ''Pikachuu'' or thinking Blacky's name is ''Burakki''. *shivers* I know we already have a page for this, but I think it might be helpful to have it on the Pokémon's page as well. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Lucario's pretty much pronounced the same, it's just that the "Lu" is pronounced in the same manner that the "ruuuuuu!" of "Ran Ran Ruu!" is pronounced... which is kind of a "say L while you're saying R". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

==Why?==
Why was the pronounciation field removed? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 22:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:I think it'd be better to, possibly soon, implement sound files that play 1: the cry from the games, 2: the anime cry (Japanese and English), and 3: PBR pronunciation ripped from the game, or just ask Ken Gates himself to record the pronunciation... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

== Rounded Edges? ==

Should this have rounded edges like the TCG box and a lot of other things do? Mozilla only.--'''[[User:Prmatt11|''Mew'']] [[User talk:Prmatt11|a.k.a.]] [[Special:Contributions/Prmatt11|Prmatt11]]''' 15:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, If you're on Mozilla, The boxes are rounded.--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 15:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

:::NOT YET IT'S NOT! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 11:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

== Changing how the wiki looks ==

I think the wikicode for the infobox should be changed to this. It makes it a lot easier for people who are new to the wiki to correct any mistakes. Is there a quick way to change all the articles at once? (Take a better look by clicking [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Pok%C3%A9monInfobox&action=edit&section=14 here])

:Um, well, it is pretty much like that. And they have all been converted to that now.

'''Raticate''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッタ''' ''Ratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raticate are much larger than Rattata, bipedal instead of quadrupedal, and are mostly tawny in color with a lighter-colored underside. Like Rattata, Raticate’s most prominent feature is its very large incisor teeth that grow quickly. Three rows of whiskers extend from its muzzle, which it uses to maintain balance. They also possess webbed feet, which can enable them to swim. Raticate has a much more rat-like tail than Rattata, being long, scaled, and bare, and its ears are more ragged in shape.

====Gender differences====
Female Raticate have shorter whiskers.

====Special abilities====
Raticate have teeth that are strong enough to {{m|Hyper Fang|gnaw through steel}}. They can swim, and they also have the ability to {{a|intimidate}} their foes (although they cannot have the actual [[ability]]).

===Behavior===
Raticate are a bit more aggresive then Rattata, due to its bigger size. If attacked, it stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs and shrieks in an intimidating manner at its enemy. They need something to gnaw on such as rocks or logs or their teeth may grow too much. They are willing to take on larger foes if provoked enough. Raticate searches wide areas for food, and the webbing on its hind legs enable it to cross rivers. As Raticate uses its whiskers to maintain balance, it will apparently slow down if they are cut off.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Raticate naturally live in plains and savannas, however, like Rattata, it can be found almost anywhere there's food. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Raticate are omnivores in the truest sense, in that they are able to subsist on almost anything edible. Their webbed feet enable them to hunt for prey in rivers, however. They are also occasionally found with a {{OBP|Chilan Berry|Generation IV}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Raticate anime.png|thumb|Raticate in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Raticate]]====

====Other====
[[Cassidy]] has a Raticate that for a time served in her and [[Butch]]'s [[Team_Rocket's mottos#Butch and Cassidy|motto]] the role that {{MTR}} serves in the {{motto}} of [[Jessie]] and [[James]].

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Raticate is one of the Pokémon belonging to one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at [[Kas Gym]].

[[Mollie]] has a Raticate she used during the [[appeals round]] of the [[Gardenia Town]] contest in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love]]''.

[[Butch]] of [[Team Rocket]] used a Raticate of his own in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''.

===Minor appearances===

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Trainer used a Raticate to {{pkmn|battle|fight}} against [[Ash's Chikorita]].

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate was classified as a Rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
* Though its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move {{m|Surf}}.
* With the {{m|Sketch|exception}} of {{p|Smeargle}}, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Flame Wheel}}, yet aren't {{type2|Fire}}.
* Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. Prior to Generation III, it was 90; now it is 127.

===Origin===
Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the {{wp|coypu}}, or {{wp|nutria}}, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
====Name origin====
Raticate's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'', meaning to destroy or exterminate. ''Ratta'' seems to be derived from ''rat'' alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, ''Koratta'' is that of Raticate's with ''ko'' (child) in front of it.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattikarl - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''radikal'' (radical). Also incorporates the first name ''Karl'' (Carl).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattatac - From ''rat'' and ''attaque'' (attack).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레트라 ''Reteura''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 拉達 ''Lá Dá'' - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 哥達 ''Ge Dá'' - Same as pre-evolved form {{p|Rattata}} except without the 'little'.

Week Siblings

The '''Week Siblings''' (Japanese: '''曜日兄弟''' ''Weekday Siblings''), also known as the '''Once-a-week Siblings''', are seven characters from the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games, {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Each of them appear at a certain location depending on the [[days of the week|day of the week]]. They were one of the original aspects of the game to take advantage of the built-in clock system.

At all times on {{rt|26}}, a note in the house of the Week Siblings can be found, saying when and where each will appear. By going to the location on the right day of the week and talking to the Week Sibling, he or she will give players a certain [[type-enhancing item|type-enhancing]] [[held item]]. Each item can only be obtained once. If they are visited after seeing each one once they will either have no item{{sup|GSC}} or one of [[Julia]]'s [[Ribbons]]{{sup|HGSS}}.

*Sunny: 
''"Hi! I'm Sunny of Sunday, meaning it's Sunday today! I was told to give you this if I saw you! That thing... Um... ...What was it now... ... Oh! I remember now! A Pokémon that knows Electric moves should hold it. My sis Monica said it powers up Electric moves!"''

*Wesley: 
''"Well, how do you do? Seeing as how it's Wednesday today, I'm Wesley of Wednesday. Pleased to meet you. Please take a souvenir. Black Belt beefs up the power of Fighting moves."'' 
''"Since you found me, you must have met my brothers and sisters. Or did you just get lucky?"'' 
*Arthur: 
''"Who are you? I'm Arthur of Thursday. Here. You can have this. A Pokémon that uses Rock-type moves should hold on to that. It pumps up Rock-type attacks."'' 
''"I'm Arthur of Thursday. I'm the second son out of seven children."'' 
*Frieda: 
''"Yahoo! It's Friday! I'm Frieda of Friday! Nice to meet you! Here's a Poison Barb for you! Give it to a Pokémon that has Poison-type moves. Oh! It's wicked! You'll be shocked how good it makes Poison moves!"'' 
''"Hiya! What day do you like? I love Friday. No doubt about it! Don't you think it's great too?"'' 
*Santos: 
''"... It's Saturday... I'm Santos of Saturday... You can have this... ... Spell Tag... Ghost-type moves get stronger... It will frighten you..."'' 
''"... See you again on another Saturday... I won't have any more gifts..."''

==Trivia==
* Coincidentally, the days the Week Siblings do not appear on a route (Wednesday and Saturday) are the days when the {{game|Crystal}} [[move tutor]] is in [[Goldenrod City]].
* Of all of the Week Siblings, in [[Generation II]], only Sunny gives an item that boosts an elemental type not formerly governed solely by the {{stat|Attack}} stat.
* Arthur is the only sibling whose first letter of their name does not match the first letter of their day of the week.
* The Japanese names for the Week Siblings are related to the different readings of the {{wp|kanji}} used for the days of the week. For example, the Japanese word for Monday is 'getsuyōbi'　(月曜日), or 'moon day'. The kanji for moon (月) can be pronounced as either 'getsu' or 'tsuki', hence Tsukiko (Monica of Monday), with the traditional feminine suffix '-ko', meaning child.
** This applies to all except Arthur of Thursday and Sunny of Sunday, whose Japanese names use the same pronunciation as their respective days of the week.

Games include:

*"Tic-Tac-Toe" at Funzone_1.
*The aforementioned Shuckle game at Funzone_2. - I am unsure what this would have been called.

Sp unit 262: /* EV Training for Lv 50 battles */

Where "252" comes from isn't explained... it'd be better as Math.floor(255/4), but I'd prefer to see it written with the proper math symbols, which don't appear to be supported in Bulbapedia yet... - Hyperworm.
:We'll try to get texvc installed, but that would mean getting an Ocaml compiler for whatever platform the server is running... not to mention checking that TeX is installed properly, etc. (mutter...) - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:23, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Feel free to make it floor(255/4) with a description of the floor command, but leave the "Math." out, Bulbapedia isn't a compiler. Don't expect most people viewing the page to know what "floor()" does.
:--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 00:53, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Is anyone thinking of compiling a chart of pokemon and what Effort Values they have? I see that each pokemon has theirs on their own pages but it doesn't list all of them at one spot, any ambitions or places online that it could be copied over from? [[User:Lucasthalefty|Lucasthalefty]] 02:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:Bulbapedia already has one of those, actually. Now that you mention it, I hvae no idea why it's not linked to here. I'll add a hyperlink to the article. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 04:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow that makes it so much better thanks [[User:Lucasthalefty|Lucasthalefty]] 14:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Just a point of clarification here - is it necessary to get a Pokemon to lv. 100 to get the full EV benefits? [[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 13:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:Once they have the effort ribbon, you'll know they have full effort values. Otherwise, then, you can't really know. Heck, a Pokémon can hit 100 without full EVs. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:12, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
::No, no. I mean, do the stat benefits show up only at lv. 100, or immediately after you've filled the 510 EVs? [[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 14:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, it's not like leveling from 99 to 100 will add some ridiculously high number to the stats. I don't keep track personally, but I think that they'll show up instantly once you've filled the EVs, and it won't matter if you enter them as some lower level into the autolevel-to-100 battle on WFC, or level them up naturally. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if you have enough evs, the stat gain comes after you level up. Say you get 16 evs before leveling up. If so, then when you do level up and you get 16 atk's, youll get 4 evs. So leveling to 100 isnt necesarry-- [[User:Mr T Tar]]
:It is. You may have the EVs, but you don't have the stats. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

And now i know thanks to you. I feel like a noob T_T

== Some adjustments needed? ==

First off, vitamins, The article's wording seems to imply that a vitamin can be used when the current points are any amount less than 100, and unless things have changed, or i know wrong, vitamins will only raise EV's TO 100 and never over 100, meaning vitamins can only be used when current EV's are 90 or less.

Also, the basic info seems to ONLY address the final results at level 100, leading to earlier confusion about whether or not EV's apply anytime before. The EV portion of the stat calculations could be here, and/or a chart showing at what levels the EV's needed for an actual stat point are whole numbers, and how many it is, along the lines of:

100 = 4
80 = 5
50 = 8
40 = 10
25 = 16
20 = 20
16 = 25
10 = 40
8 = 50
5 = 80
4 = 100
-------
2 = 200
1 = 400

Obviously we don't need a lot of the lower levels, since it'd be difficult to finish EV training that low. at eight, you'd need to use all the vitamins the game will let you to get just two stat points, and only one for the same at level 4, and gaining a single whole stat point is impossible at levels 1 and 2.

:::(edit conflict) Or ask me!
:::There's a list linked on the article here, and other lists across the 'web as well. Generally, Pokémon will give EVs to stats they're strong in themselves (Zubat's Speed stat is it's strongest, so it gives out 1 EV to Speed when you defeat it). There are some exceptions, but that's generally how it works out.
:::For training in a specific stat, generally you just look at a list of Pokémon by EV reward, find ones that are fairly common, and track down a spot where you can find them easily. For example, Fearow and Raticate both give 2 EVs to Attack, and the area just North of the Fight Area in D/P is full of Fearow and Raticate; if you were planning to train for Attack, that would be the easiest place to train (fighting Fearow and Raticate, and running from anything else).

::::Could you give me a link to any of those websites? And could you also tell me how to raise Special Attack in Emerald (that's what I'm playing now)?
:::::For one, [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] is right here, simply sort by the Sp. Atk. column, which will put anything with more then a zero at the top (keep an eye out for some Pokémon that raise multiple stats at once, they can mess up your math).

I was wondering if somebody could please explain something for me... sorry if I'm slow to pick it up, I only found out about EVs a little while ago (so yeah, I played my way through the games ignorant of them), but I'm having trouble understanding how EVs actually become stat points. I understand how you accumulate EVs, but at what point, and how, do these become stat points? I originally assumed that it was instant (i.e., you get four EVs in a particular stat, that becomes a stat point for that stat) but from reading the rest of the discussion on this page, that doesn't seem to be the case. Someone also mentioned resetting EV values... that confused me too :S
If there's a clearer explanation of how this works somewhere else, I'd really appreciate it if someone could direct me to it.
Thanks- Timothy.
:Every four EV points you gain, that's +1 in that stat at level 100. You can get up to 255 EVs in one stat, 510 total. 252 is where most people stop for a specific stat, since you don't get stat points for 3 EVs. EV points are gained from specific Pokémon, and there's a list of them somewhere around here. They get doubled by Pokérus and the Macho Brace.

:Well, a berry would reduce it to 245, as they make EVs decrease by 10. And... why 252? it is just the same as 255. if you get 252 in two stats, you'll be able to get other 6 EVs for a thid stat, but it will only increase it 1 point at level 100... and 1 at level 100 is the same as nothing. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:45, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:::In Emerald, that method would be more convenient. For Diamond/Pearl (and later, I would assume), if the Pokémon has more than 100 EVs in a stat, one EV-reducing berry would take it back to 100. For example, using an EV-reducing berry on a Pokémon with 255 EVs would take it down to 100 EVs, and using a berry on one with 101 EVs would also take it down to 100. For Hfc2x's question, let me turn that around: "Why 255? It is just the same as 252."

::::Nopes, you're wrong. EV-reducing berries lower the EVs by 10 ALWAYS, even when it is over 100. and the 1 point in one stat is nothing, 'cause you can only make the difference every 18 points at level 100. For example... if I have a Pokémon with 300 of speed and my oponent has 305, ANY of the Pokémon may attack first because the difference is so minimal. And for offensive stats there is something called "{{wp|Random number generation|RNG}}" which is the reason of why sometimes your attacks are more powerful than usual, and not just for your high stats.

If you are EV training a Pokémon with both a Macho Brace(Power Anklet, et al.) and the Pokérus, does the doubling take place before or after the plus four?

== Oh really? ==

The last sentence states that it adds 4 EVs to the respective stat even if EVs in a different stat are gained. Is this tested to be true?

To clarify, +4 first, THEN x2 for Pokerus - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] ([[User talk:Mr. Black|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Black|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Also, I believe the EV system for Generations I and II is wrong here. I'm fairly sure Pokemon weren't given specific EV values like they are now, I think EVs were actually calculated based on a Pokemon's stats. Please check it anyway to make sure.

Since you added 252 is the highest multiple of 4 in 255, you might want to add 508 is the highest multiple of 4 in 510, making 2 available EVs useless. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] ([[User talk:Mr. Black|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Black|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:Well, Mr. Black isn't responding you questions... The first one is YES, if you use Power Wheight you'll always gain +4 HP EVs, even if you fight a Graveler. And the second one is NO, Pokémon always have given away the same EVs they give now, but the difference is that there is no limit in Gens I and II, instead of the limit of 510 in Gens III and IV. {{unsigned|hfc2x}}

Well, I'll explain it better:
*Power Wheight helps you get +4 EVs in HP ''EVERY TIME YOU FIGHT AND FAINT AND OPPONENT''. This is added to the total if you haven't got the Pokerus. If you have Pokérus, then the total (after adding the bonus for the held item) is multiplied by 2.
*In Generations I and II, ALL Pokémon give ''THE SAME'' EVs they give now. The only difference among generations is the total of EVs you can add to a Pokémon if you want to train. In Gens III and IV the maximum training in EVs is 510, with a maximum of 255 in every stat, but the total cannot exceed 510. In Gens I and II, there is no maximum amount of EVs in any stat nor a maximum of total EVs. Meaning that you can get infinite training.

I hope it is clear now... '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

* I think your second statement about Generations I and II is incorrect. According to [http://www.geocities.com/thelegendarydogs/faqs/all/genes/genesfaq.htm this GenI&II Pokémon DVs guide], defeating a Pokémon added its base stats to your EV scores (called Stat XP in the old terminology), and your EV scores were limited to 65535. This corroborates with the [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|data structure]], which has ten bytes for Effort data or two bytes per stat, and two bytes can store a maximum value of 65535. --[[User:JDigital|JDigital]] 05:41, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Effort Values and Stat Experience ==

I saw that on the article it says that Effort Values were created in Gen. I, but weren't they created in Gen. III during the Data Structure Overhaul. The extra 63 points in the first 2 generations were determined by a hidden experience value for each stat value (max - 63,105 exp. points i think), and the amount of hidden exp. you get for a stat is equal to the opponent's base stat for that specific stat.

There is more evidence to support this then the EV theory. Like if you just caught a Lapras in, say, Pokémon Crystal,and you fight 4 Grimers. If the EV theory were correct, you would get 1 point in your HP stat after using the Box Trick, but instead multiple stats rise. Isn't that because each stat rises according to every 1000 points(or something)?

So I was just thinking to suggest that the EV info on Gen. I and II be moved to III, and create a link to a new page, Stat Experience? The SE theory sounds more correct then the EV one for Gens. I and II. What do you guys think? {{unsigned|Dark Boye}}

* In Generations I and II we called it Stat Experience. Nowadays they're called EVs. It's calculated differently now, but it's essentially the same thing - you get faster by fighting Jolteons, and more hit points by fighting Chanseys. I think it makes sense to say they're just different versions of the same thing - after all, as far as I know, both "stat XP" and "Effort Values" are just fan-created names. --[[User:JDigital|JDigital]] 05:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

==Stat-reducing Berries==
I'd like to note some things about the Stat Reducing Berries. The fact that they reduce EV's by 10 is correct, but I wanna note that when used on a stat above 100, the stat is reduced down to 100, then each subsequent use is 10 each. Once the berry starts failing, it's either due to the stat having no EV's, or an EV amount below 10. These berries are also very useful in changing a Pokemon's EV spread, a very good thing for an In-game team to make them more competitive.
Also, when used on a Level 100 Pokemon, they WILL reduce the stats, but because they can no longer level up, they cannot raise the stats back up via EV training.[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 14:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

==Your questions are probably answered here...==
After reading this page, I found that there were a lot of complicated topics that weren't quite answered. Here're the most frequently asked questions answered:

What is EV training, and how is it good?
EV training is a method in which you train one Pokémon against a against a specific group of Pokémon in order to raise the Pokémon's stats. This would be like training a future sweeper against Jolteon so that the sweeper gets faster.

How do I EV train?
Personally, I EV train by finding trainers that have only one species of Pokémon, but others may prefer to train against wild Pokémon. Both methods are equally effective. A common one is PI Carlos just below Veilstone City. Because he has 3 Goldeen (which evolve into Seaking), he gives 3 (or 6) EV's throughout the course of one battle. Although you can have a maximum of 255 EV's in each stat, many trainers opt to put a maximum of 252 EV's in a stat. You can have a maximum of 510 EV's total (shared between stats), and every 4 EV's in a stat boost the stat at level 100 by 1 point.

What about Berries?
If you use a stat-reducing berry on a pokemon that has more than 100 EV's in a stat, it reduces that stat's EV's to 100. From 100 down, however, it reduces the EV's by 10. Kudos to Joe T. E.!

How do I squeeze the most out of EV training?
Ok, so this isn't really an FAQ, but I found some nice ideas to maximize your EV's. First off, putting EV's in a stat increased by nature can make its effect go up from +63 to +69, putting you "one point ahead" in the end!

:I'm still a little puzzeled, butI think I'm getting to understand EVs. Basically by the time I get to level 100 I'll HAVE to have my max EV numbers somewhere right? The only "EV training" is in aiming for those two max stats? Maybe use EV reducer berries to tweak. But after I get those EVs full and in a way I like them, that's all I can do, right? Timing of getting the EVs early/ect don't matter, right? The end result doesn't need babysitting from the very start it looks like/I hope?--[[User:Barakku|Barakku]] 05:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

::A Pokémon's stats are pre-calculated, but think of it like this: the difference between the Pokémon's stat now and their stat at level X divided by the number of levels between them equals the stat change. As an example, if a Pokémon's stat at level 100 would be 300, and it's level 99 with 290 as its stat, its next stat gain will be 10. As long as you get all of your EV's in before level 100, all of the EV's will be factored in.

:::I never bothered with EVs or IVs till now, so I didn't keep track. So what's the formula to calculate the EVs then? Also, does the formula calculate the EVs exactly, or is it just an approximate amount? --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 15:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't know the formula, so I wouldn't know how exact it would be. You can probably get an aproximate however by going into a Wi-Fi battle and setting levels to 100 (if you don't already have your Pokémon at level 100), than compare the stats to the stats listed on that Pokémon's species page.
::::For example, if I checked my Weavile at level 100 and its Attack stat was at 350, I could compare that to the [[Weavile (Pokémon)#Base stats|base stats]] at level 100 and figure that my Attack EV was somewhere close to maxed-out (since the highest you can get with EVs and IVs combined would be 372 on a Weavile).
::::It's a rough aproxximation, but it'll give you a good idea where you're at.
::::Generally, if you really want to get serious with EV training, you'll want to start fresh with a newly-caught/newly-hatched Pokémon. I've not tried it, but I believe you could also use berries that reduce EVs to "reset" your Pokémon back to 0, as well (not sure on the details of that, however). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 21:31, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

== EV Training for Lv 50 battles ==

Since there is currently a world tourney going on with a Lv 50 limit and there also is (and has been for along while) the in-game option of battling with Lv 50 pokémon, I'm surprised that I don't see more information or discussion on the topic. If you are EV training for a Lv 50 battle, then wouldn't you not particularly want 252 EV in a stat? Unless I'm mistaken, you would want floor(252/8) because you are at half the level of Lv 100 battles, where it is four EV per stat point. This would mean that raising a stat to 252 would in fact be a waste of four perfectly usable effort points! Am I mistaken here, or is this assumption correct? [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 02:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:That's actually wrong. You can have max EVs at like level 10 and it wouldn't hurt. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
::Maxing at any level doesn't matter. It's just at level 100 where full bonus is calculated. At level 100 your Pokémon's stats will range by exactly 31 points for their IVs and exactly 63 points for their EVs. Under 100's are just fractionalized by their level: a level 50 Pokémon would thus have a 15-point or 16-point range in stats due to IVs, while the range due to EVs would be 31 or 32 points. As the Pokémon's level gets higher the discrepancy is greater between untrained and crap-IVs and trained with excellent IVs. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Sorry TTE, but IV points can vary a stat as much as 34 points and as little as 28 points, and EV's can vary as much as 69 points and as little as 57 points depending on the nature. Training a Pokémon earlier rather than later or vice versa has no effect on its stats at level 10, 25, 50 or 100. What appears to happen is that a Pokémon trained later will have a more extreme stat gain in the next level (<s>about 63/(100 - level)</s> (future stat (with EV's) - current stat) points more than usual if fully trained in one level). [[User:PhoenixGraphix|Phoenix]][[User_Talk:PhoenixGraphix|Graphix]][[Special:Contributions/PhoenixGraphix|™]] 03:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
::::I think my question has been misunderstood here. What I want to ask is this: since at level 100 it takes four effort points to add a single point in any stat, wouldn't it make sense that it would take 8 points at exactly half that level? That is what I am asking. Can anyone answer this for me, as it can mean the difference between 252 being the max useful amount and 248 being that number, and with 2 stats at that level, you'd have eight effort points to spare, meaning one stat point anywhere you chose... Sorry if this seems obvious to anyone, but I'm not so sure from the sources I've looked at. [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 06:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::In an attempt to answer your multi-faceted question, yes, it would be more thrifty to put only 248 EV's in a stat if you intend to keep that Pokémon at level 50. The extra point in the stat with 252 would be rounded down anyway, so putting in 248 is a much better choice. If you intend, however, to train the Pokémon to level 100, it would max out the stat with only 252. [[User:PhoenixGraphix|Phoenix]][[User_Talk:PhoenixGraphix|Graphix]][[Special:Contributions/PhoenixGraphix|™]] 18:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
::::::Understood. And yes, I was asking about pokémon you intend to keep for battling at level 50, which I suppose I should have specified. I just figured since I mentioned the VGC tourneys it would be assumed, what with a lv 50 cap and all... Thanks! [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 01:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

:It depends on whether the IV is even or odd, if it's odd you need 252 to max the stat, if even only 248. Any other level and you would have to consider the whole IV and the Base stat too, but the EV needed for max stat will always be a multiple of 4. I know that this conversation is almost a year old, but having an accurate answer is important. --[[User:Sp unit 262|sp unit 262]] 04:11, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

== EV distribution if multiple pokemon are used ==

So only the pokemon that lands the finishing blow gets the EVs? Or do all the pokemon that were exposed in the battle get EVs? --[[User talk:Qwertyasdf|(QQ)∞wertyasdf]] 11:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

== Confused about Effort Values and Effort Points ==

In the first paragraph under Generation III, it begins by describing the new effort points, but the example uses effort values:

:Generation III completely overhauls the effort value structure. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 ''effort points'' to a particular stat, depending on species (see list of Pokémon by effort value yield). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the Battle Tower or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any ''EVs.'' At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat.

The way that I read the second sentence, no pokémon at any level from Generation 3 on would earn effort values since they were replaced by effort points. If effort points and effort values are the same thing, using both terms is confusing. If effort points are converted into effort values, that should be stated with the conversion rate.

If a level 100 pokémon cannot gain any experience from battle, how would it be getting effort points or a stat increase at all?

One more thing: Does the mew in the Generation 1 example grant 100 (points) to each effort value or 100 effort values to each stat? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 21:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
:From how I see it, defeating one Mew in Generation I grants 100 points to each effort value. My interpretation of the article is that an "effort point" or "effort value point" refers to stat exp. that has been gained, and "effort value" is the total amount of effort points that has been "collected" in a particular stat. For example, a Pokémon that defeats a Mew will gain 100 effort points in each stat, and its effort values for each stat will therefore increase by 100. However, it looks like many people often say "effort values" when they really mean "effort points", which is extremely confusing. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 02:47, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

::So you would wind up with effort points ''and'' effort values? Oh, the effort value is in increments of effort points. It’s like having a hundred dollars in one-dollar bills. You have 100 dollar bills which is 100 dollars. But who ever says they have a hundred dollar bills in their account? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 02:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
::Also, whoever says they received 100 dollar bills? By the way, nowhere on Bulbapedia is the relationship of effort points to effort values given, or even a definition. [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 10:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

:::One Effort Value = One Effort Point. The names were changed starting with Generation III it appears (from Value to Point), but the EV term is still the most commonly used.
:::The article needs a bit of a re-write to clarify this; some editors have written it as Points, while others have written it as Values, which is why the current article is a little convoluted on that particular regard. I'll need to research a bit as to which name is the current "official" term. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 00:00, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
::::I don't know about what these things were "officially" called in Generation III. However, in Diamond and Pearl:
::::*The description for vitamins mention '''"base" stat'''. For example, the HP Up's description says, ''"... It raises the '''base HP''' of a single Pokémon."'' Using it on a Pokémon will say something like, ''"FEEBAS's '''base HP''' rose!"''
::::*The description for EV-reducing berries also say '''"base" stat'''. For example, the Pomeg Berry's description says, ''"... Using it on a Pokémon makes it more friendly, but it also lowers its '''base HP'''."'' Using it on a Pokémon will say something like, ''"However, its '''base HP''' fell!"'', ''"Its '''base HP''' fell!"'', or ''"Its '''base HP''' can't go lower."''
::::Similar wording occurs with the other vitamins and EV-reducing berries as well. Of course, the items I mentioned actually modify the EVs, and not what we (on Pokémon fan sites) would call "base stats". [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 00:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
::::*Does the 100 effort values to all stats when defeating a mew apply only to generation 1, or does it apply to generation II as well?(Forger03 at 10:33pm on February 03, 2010)

== EV Gain at Level 100 ==

It might be worth mentioning that while you can't EV train at level 100, you can use vitamins. [[User:Smythe|Smythe]] 10:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

== A Few Questions... ==

Having read through the whole talk page, there are a few things I'm still not entirely clear on.

Firstly, does the level at which a Pokémon gains it's EVs matter? For instance, if I were to train a certain Pokémon to have 252 HP EVs at level 40, and then do the same with an identical Pokémon at level 70 and then raise both up to level 100 will the ultimate result be that both Pokémon have the same maxed HP stat?

Secondly, Is it smarter to maximize two selected stats of a Pokémon, or to spread the EVs around evenly? Example: Gengar has naturally high Speed and Special Attack stats, so, would this Pokémon be most competitive if it had 252 EVs in each of these stats? or would that just make it less flexible in battle?

Thirdly, I read somewhere on this page that "All Pokémon that gain EXP from defeating another Pokémon will get EVs." Does this include EXP gained through the use of an EXP. Share? If so, do the EVs get divided among the Pokémon in the same manner as the EXP? Or does each Pokémon that gained EXP from a battle then gain the full EV yield?

I apologise if any of these questions have already been answered and I simply missed them... ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 06:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

#Level won't matter, so long as it's not at level 100 when it gains the EVs (so it still has level-ups left to receive the bonuses). At level 100, both of your examples would have the same stats (not counting any differences in [[nature]] or [[IVs]]).
#This depends, but generally speaking, you'll focus on two main stats. There are some instances where you'll want a bit of a spread, but normally you'll always max out HP on a defensive Pokémon and put the rest of the points into either one or both of the defense stats, or on an offensive Pokémon, perhaps allocate the majority of the points to Speed and the rest to one of the attack stats. Sites like Smogon.com list popular movesets and EV spreads for nearly every Pokémon used competitively, and can be a good way to get a feel for how a competitive set might look.
#Exp. Share will split the EXP, but both Pokémon will get the full EVs. If you defeat a {{p|Pikachu}} while one of your other party members has an Exp. Share, both your active Pokémon and the one with the Exp. Share will get 2 Speed EVs. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Effort values

2010-03-06T02:03:02Z

Sp unit 262: /* Generation III */ Tested (in Platinum) pokemon with 101 EVs, it went to 91 EVs.

'''Effort values''' (abbreviated '''EVs''' and previously called '''Stat XP''') are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's stats and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a [[Rare Candy]] instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.

Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 Machop will improve a Pokémon's attack stat more than fighting 100 Abra of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat, see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]].

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights.

Effort values only appear in the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, and are not present in the spin-off games, such as the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.

==Overview==
===Generation I===
The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''stat experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat, however, maximum stats will be reached with only 63002 EVs. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 631 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to accrue EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.

[[Vitamins]] add 2560 to one stat's EV, but cannot raise a stat above 25600. Unlike later games, the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} did not share EVs.

At level 100, the formula for determining the stat difference between a Pokémon trained in that stat and an untrained Pokémon is:

[[File:Statexp.png]]

===Generation II===
EVs behave the same in [[Generation II]] as they did in [[Generation I]]. Both Special Attack and Special Defense share the EV for Special. The [[box trick]] can still be used.

[[Generation II]] introduced the [[Pokérus]], a rare [[status condition]] which doubles the effort points gained in battle.

===Generation III===
[[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure. Effort points are now separate values from the base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. Maximum stats will be reached with only 252 EVs in a stat, however.

[[Vitamin]]s add 10 effort points, but cannot raise a stat above 100, or raise the total above 510. A new vitamin, {{DL|Vitamin|Zinc}}, enhances Special Defense.

A new held item, the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points.

In {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points (or to 100 if more than 110), while increasing the [[happiness]] of the Pokémon they were used on.

===Generation IV===
[[Generation IV]]'s EV system remains unchanged from [[Generation III]].

A new series of items exist which give an additional four effort points per Pokémon defeated. Each applies the bonus to a different stat, in addition to the normal effort points gained. The bonus effort points are also doubled by the [[Pokérus]].

== Any way to do this? ==

Since this is a talk page, I'm wondering if it's possible to eliminate the regional Pokédex entries from the template if there's no data for them, instead of having that dash. It'd make it a lot easier to see at a glance which regions the Pokémon's naturally available in, or what generation it is. Might be a bit problematic if we take into account Pokémon in the Hoenn dex beyond 202, though. Feedback? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 02:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly like this change to the numbers section. It does not cope well with the case where a Pokémon is not in the regional Pokédex. Also, it's a blatant copy of what Wikipedia does for their infobox. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 22:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Should the habitat (based on the FRLG dexlist thing) be included in the infobox? It'd of course be N/A for Gen IV and beyond Pokémon, unless that's still in the data like the color is...

== Name Pronunciations? ==

Should we add a section on how to pronounce the Pokémon's name to the Infobox? I for one have trouble correctly pronouncing a name correctly if I read it but don't hear or see it pronounced correctly, so I think that it would be a feature that would be a good addition to the Pokémon pages. I know that it might take a lot of work to find and input all of the pronunciations, but I think that it would be worth it.

It's be nice if someone could update the links in the infobox to reflect that. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 22:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

:Done. Don't be afraid if there's some downtime...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Should we talk about when it was introduced for the Pokemon in which generation? Or should we put that in the article itself?''' [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:probably. when TTE becomes available, ill talk to him about it. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 20:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pron ==

Can't you just add the ''sc'' to the template? *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 14:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

== Basic Japanese romanization ==

Is it possible to add the Japanese pronunciation of the Pokémon's name? Such as showing that Lucario's name would be pronounced ''Rukario''. I was hoping that maybe this could help stop weeaboos who think Pikachu's Japanese name is ''Pikachuu'' or thinking Blacky's name is ''Burakki''. *shivers* I know we already have a page for this, but I think it might be helpful to have it on the Pokémon's page as well. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Lucario's pretty much pronounced the same, it's just that the "Lu" is pronounced in the same manner that the "ruuuuuu!" of "Ran Ran Ruu!" is pronounced... which is kind of a "say L while you're saying R". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

==Why?==
Why was the pronounciation field removed? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 22:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:I think it'd be better to, possibly soon, implement sound files that play 1: the cry from the games, 2: the anime cry (Japanese and English), and 3: PBR pronunciation ripped from the game, or just ask Ken Gates himself to record the pronunciation...

== Changing how the wiki looks ==

I think the wikicode for the infobox should be changed to this. It makes it a lot easier for people who are new to the wiki to correct any mistakes. Is there a quick way to change all the articles at once? (Take a better look by clicking [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Pok%C3%A9monInfobox&action=edit&section=14 here])

:Um, well, it is pretty much like that. And they have all been converted to that now. If you're confused about the mass of code on the template page, that's because of the ridiculous amount of variables for color, type, etc. Nothing to worry about. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 10:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
::Click edit, to see what i mean. It doesn't show that well otherwise. - [[User:Plau|plau]] 10:20, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:::In an article, or here? Don't worry about here, but in an article just scroll down past that until you see paragraphs.

:its there for pronunciations. we initially started to add them for some Pokemon, and they were directly from a Pokemon handbook, but a number of the pronunciations were contested by fans (including myself) for being anywhere from a little off, to outright wrong. so we have removed them and not included them. at some point we would like to include them, but for now, they will not be used. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

'''Raticate''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッタ''' ''Ratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rattata}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raticate are much larger than Rattata, bipedal instead of quadrupedal, and are mostly tawny in color with a lighter-colored underside. Like Rattata, Raticate’s most prominent feature is its very large incisor teeth that grow quickly. Three tows of whiskers extend from its muzzle, which it uses to maintain balance. They also possess webbed feet, which can enable them to swim. Raticate has a much more rat-like tail than Rattata, being long, scaled, and bare, and its ears are more ragged in shape.

====Gender differences====
Female Raticate have shorter whiskers.

====Special abilities====
Raticate have teeth that are strong enough to {{m|Hyper Fang|gnaw through steel}}. They can swim, and they also have the ability to {{a|intimidate}} their foes (although they cannot have the actual [[ability]]).

===Behavior===
Raticate are a bit more aggresive then Rattata, due to its bigger size. If attacked, it stands up on its hind legs, bares its fangs and shrieks in an intimidating manner at its enemy. They need something to gnaw on such as rocks or logs or their teeth may grow too much. They are willing to take on larger foes if provoked enough. Raticate searches wide areas for food, and the webbing on its hind legs enable it to cross rivers. As Raticate uses its whiskers to maintain balance, it will apparently slow down if they are cut off.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Raticate naturally live in plains and savannas, however, like Rattata, it can be found almost anywhere there's food. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Raticate are omnivores in the truest sense, in that they are able to subsist on almost anything edible. Their webbed feet enable them to hunt for prey in rivers, however. They are also occasionally found with a {{OBP|Chilan Berry|Generation IV}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Raticate anime.png|thumb|Raticate in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Raticate]]====
On the [[S.S. Anne]], {{Ash}} [[trade]]d his {{AP|Butterfree}} for a Raticate in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' but traded back as the boat was sinking in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.

====Other====
[[Cassidy]] has a Raticate that for a time served in her and [[Butch]]'s [[Team_Rocket's mottos#Butch and Cassidy|motto]] the role that {{MTR}} serves in the {{motto}} of [[Jessie]] and [[James]].

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Raticate is one of the Pokémon belonging to one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at [[Kas Gym]].

[[Mollie]] has a Raticate she used during the [[appeals round]] of the [[Gardenia Town]] contest in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love]]''.

[[Butch]] of [[Team Rocket]] used a Raticate of his own in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A differently colored Raticate appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Trainer used a Raticate to {{pkmn|battle|fight}} against [[Ash's Chikorita]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a {{p|Rattata}} was {{adv|Yellow}}'s first Pokémon. It later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Raticate.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate was classified as a Rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
* Though its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move {{m|Surf}}.
* With the {{m|Sketch|exception}} of {{p|Smeargle}}, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that learn {{m|Flame Wheel}}, yet aren't {{type2|Fire}}.
* Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. Prior to Generation III, it was 90; now it is 127.

===Origin===
Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the {{wp|coypu}}, or {{wp|nutria}}, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
====Name origin====
Raticate's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'', meaning to destroy or exterminate. ''Ratta'' seems to be derived from ''rat'' alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, ''Koratta'' is that of Raticate's with ''ko'' (child) in front of it.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattikarl - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''radikal'' (radical). Also incorporates the first name ''Karl'' (Carl).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattatac - From ''rat'' and ''attaque'' (attack).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레트라 ''Reteura''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 拉達 ''Lá Dá'' - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 哥達 ''Ge Dá'' - Same as pre-evolved form {{p|Rattata}} except without the 'little'.

I also have the D/P locations for most of the other items here, but they can wait until I'm less tired to go up. There are one or two that I'm missing though, and wouldn't mind being backed up on multiples of items or what the prices of Battle Tower items are, so if anyone's picked up the Prima Guide over the weekend, it'd be cool to scan over what it says and what I've added in - just to make sure nothing's been missed. --[[User:Doctor Oak|Doctor Oak]] 07:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

How do Generation I games keep track of what items are being held?

:I'm pretty sure that it's G/S/C that determine what Pokémon get what item. I don't think you can trade a Pokémon back if it's holding the item you found when it was originally traded. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 22:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

::Regardless of that, if you take the item from the Gen I Pokémon (such as a TwistedSpoon from an Abra in Yellow) and trade the Pokémon back, you can't get it from the same Pokémon again, so it somehow knows it was taken. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 08:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

:::Because each Pokémon has it's own IVs, EVs, not to mention a lot of other coding {{tt|unique to that certain Pokémon|placeholder data and such}}, the game will recognize that it shouldn't have an item anymore. It basically removes the "this Pokémon is holding an item" coding that the Pokémon originally... {{tt|obtained|because the Gen. I games didn't have held items}}, when traded. That's also how the games know who the OT was, the OT's ID number, what region it was caught in, and if it's between games of the same generation, the route.

:::::Most likely. Because when you trade something to let's say, Sapphire from Ruby, it'll still know that it's traded from a different game. And when you trade back, that game knows not to add extra Exp. points because the Pokémon is with the OT, which I think is the main thing that helps games recognize Pokémon. I have a Pokémon in Emerald that was from my original Ruby file. If I trade it back to Ruby on the new file, it will know that it's a traded Pokémon. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 21:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Eh, probably. They had Kanto in the Gen. II games, so it wouldn't have been that complicated to program something in to recognize that, especially since none of the route names were changed. The only thing I wouldn't be able to guess about is if you caught something in [[Viridian Forest]] in Gen. I., since it was cut down in Gen. II.

::::::::Location data {{tt|didn't exist|at least in a form directly accessible by the player}} until Crystal (accessed by talking to the Poké Seer).

If it existed in Gen I, that problem wouldn't exist, and the Poké Seer would be able to say where it was caught (which she can't do for Pokémon caught in Gold and Silver either, since those two games didn't utilize the location data). --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 18:57, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

okay, this is probably the best place to raise the question.

the stat altering moves change stats in "levels" of up to six. how much does each "level" change the stats by? If this is already listed somewhere, i don't know where to find it.

== All Stats Referred to Collectively ==

It's just an idea but I've noticed something. I've had the idea of instead of just reffering to a Pokemon's indivisual Stats; HP, Attack, Defense, Special Atk, Special Def and Speed, one could refer to all values that effect a battle.
Observe;

'''S'''pecial Attack

'''H'''P

'''A'''ttack

'''D'''efense

'''S'''pecial Defense

'''E'''vasiveness

'''A'''ccuracy

'''S'''peed

== Evasion stages/modifiers? ==

What's the maximum % of evasion a PKMN can have? (I.e. 6 uses of Double Team, Bright Powder and Hail/Sandstorm ability bonus.)

Firstly, do the items/abilities stack with each other and stages linearly or diminishingly?

If linearly, it will be 96.67%: 6 stages (9/3 multiplier) = 66.67% evasion + 20% from ability boost + 10% from Bright Powder

If diminishingly with stages only, it's 76.67%: 66.67% + 6.67%{{tt|*|(100-66.67)×0.2)}} from ability boost + 3.33%{{tt|*|(100-66.67)×0.1)}} from Bright Powder

Or if diminishingly with each other AND stages, it's around 75~76%, depending on whether the item or ability is accounted for first.

== Incorrect formulas ==

Hey, sorry to revert the awesome-looking formula images in the [[Stats#Formula|#Formula]] section to text, but they're incorrect.

Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} have ''Nature ×'' '''at first''', when [[Stats#Nature|#Nature]] says this:

: ''After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.''

Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} have ''EV / 2048'', when [[Effort values#Generation I]] says the formula is [[File:Statexp.png]].

And since I don't know how to make those awesome-looking formula images or even update them, I'll leave it to the uploader to modify them. The relevant files are StatFormulaHPGenI.png, StatFormulaGenI.png, StatFormulaHPGen3.png and StatFormulaGen3.png. [[User:Looce|Looce]] 17:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:If you can explicitly point out the corrections to be made, I can get on that for you. When I created the images I was going on the information I was provided with. If it is incorrect, I'm happy to provide a fix given that you tell me what to change it to. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:: To the current revision of [[Stats#Formula|#Formula]]'s text. Namely,
::* In Gen I and II, both formulas, update EV/2048 to be squareroot(EV + 3) / 4. Even better would be to say STAT EXP in Gen I and II's formulas instead of EV, because that's what they were known as back then.
::* In Gen III and IV, other status formula, move ''Nature ×'' to the end as '''× Nature'''
:: Though it may be that the ''(... + 50 + ...) / 50'' thing for Gen I and II's HP was correct, even if it's in Gen III and IV as ''+ Level + 10'', so you don't really need to update that. Thanks in advance :) [[User:Looce|Looce]] 03:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with changing the terms to the obsolete ones. It is confusing. I have been having problems with the term “effort points” in the last two generations, which I suspect are being used interchangeably for “effort values”. Note that the terms have been changed, but stick to one or the other from then on. Of course it would have been better to have not changed the terms at all, but what’s done is done.

:Just a little thing for Looce, um... Nature's first because of the transitive property. Notice the parentheticals? Plus, the correct answer is not gotten... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

In the first paragraph under Effort Values, before the formulas, shouldn’t that be “For every 4 ''effort points'' gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats”? And where did the 50 and 2048 come from? It isn’t mentioned anywhere on this page or in the Effort Values article. So which formula for determining the stat points is correct? 50+(EV/2048) or squareroot(EV+3)/4? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 13:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
===Now wait a minute!===
Your stat calcs are wrong! Arceus with a 31 IV and 252 EV in HP will have 444 HP. Your calculation gives it a maximum of 394. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
:Do the math again. It gives exactly 444. --[[User:Miliko|Miliko]] 18:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

==Nature Factor==
After some tests using the formula on Lv5 Pokémon on my Emerald Rom, I think the Nature factor on it is placed on the wrong place. It should not affect the final "5" on it. I specifically tested it on an Adamant Magikarp with perfect Atk IV, the formula gives me a stat of 8, and in the game it is 7 (I tested the IV with the IV Man). And in other Pokémon (Breloom IIRC), I had the same problem. Could someone test it? --[[User:Miliko|Miliko]] 18:52, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
*You need to truncate (drop the decimals) before applying the nature boost. --[[User:Sp unit 262|sp unit 262]] 03:11, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} Pokémon.

It is resurrected from [[Fossil|Old Amber]] and is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
It is widely considered to be extinct, and is only found by resurrecting it from the [[Old Amber]].
===Physiology===
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, saw-bladed like fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its wings have skin stretched from its side to its arms. The triangular-shaped tip of its tail is gray, like the tail itself which is connected to its oval body. Aerodactyl have dark green eyes, though the iris is barely visible.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. It is also very durable due to its rock-hard body.

===Behavior===
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through the throats of its victims with its serrated, saw-like fangs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown even though some living samples have been found miles underground in caves, but so far most Aerodactyl are revived from [[Old Amber]]. It most likely lived in mountainous areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the episode ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Ash's Pokédex states "Its hard fangs suggest it might have been a {{wp|carnivore}}. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey."

In the episode ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', the Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island.

==In the anime==
[[File:DP017.png|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and [[Team Rocket]]. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. [[Todd Snap|Todd]] took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its fossil state.

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl was originally going to use its Japanese name, "Ptera", as its English name.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' it was mentioned that Aerodactyl was carnivorous based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other fossil Pokémon when it arrived). However in ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' it is shown and proven to be at least omnivorous, based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is the only non-{{type2|Steel}} that can learn {{m|Iron Head}} by [[level|leveling up]].
** It is also the only Pokémon that learns both {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}} by leveling up.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental types|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Aerodactyl.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[fossil]] Pokémon that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution.
**It is also the only [[fossil]] Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding it or reviving its fossil: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and one of Hayley's trades.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Generation I]] {{type2|Rock}} that doesn't have a 4× weakness to {{type2|Grass}} moves.
* Aerodactyl is the fastest {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
** Aerodactyl is tied with {{p|Crobat}} for being the second fastest {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, behind {{p|Ninjask}}.
*Aerodactyl has the highest base stat total of all of the [[fossil]] Pokémon.

==Origin==
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles, particularly the {{wp|rhamphorhynchoidea}} branch, due to Aerodactyl's possession of teeth and a long tail. It also seems to possess some dragon-like characteristics, such as that of a {{wp|wyvern}}---a two legged variety of dragon---which would explain its being on Lance's team.
===Name origin===
Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining ''aero'', {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for air, or '''aeroplane''', with the similar sounding ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''. The "Aero" could also refer to the shape of the end of its tail (Which resembles the end of an arrow). Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word ''pterosaur''.

==Characteristics==
The Steel-type was established in Generation II.

Defensively, Steel-types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. They have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special tank in battle. They are immune to {{type2|Poison}} attacks and can't be [[poisoned]], except by {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their high Defense, but all 3 of the type's weaknesses are to the very common {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Ground}} types. Those defensive flaws are made up by the fact that only a small number of Steel-types are without another type. Their Special Defense is lower than their physical, but is still reasonably high.

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}, both of which are rarely used defensively. Steel-types have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.

When used in contests, Steel-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 26 Pokémon with the Steel-type.

==Trivia==
* Although the Steel-type was introduced in [[Generation II]], the only currently known pure Steel-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].
* There are only two pure Steel-type Pokémon, the least of all types aside from {{t|Flying}}, which has no single-type Pokémon.
* Out of all the types, Steel has the most resistances and the highest average {{stat|Defense}}.
* There were no 100% accurate Steel-type attacks until [[Generation IV]].
* Up until {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Weedle}} was completely unable to damage Steel-type Pokémon because the only damaging move it could learn was {{m|Poison Sting}}, and Steel-types are immune to {{type2|Poison}} moves. From Platinum onwards, Weedle is able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} via level-up, allowing it to do at least some damage (though Bug is still not very effective).
* Because of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s addition of their secondary Steel-type in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Steel-type Pokémon introduced in each generation.
** Despite this, there are not Steel-type moves from each generation; Steel is the only type not assigned to a move introduced in Generation I.
* Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves cannot currently deal 4× damage.
* All Steel-type moves consist of two words.
* Steel is the only type that has a non-neutral type matchup with all seventeen types, considering both offense and defense.

==In other languages==
* Brazilian Portuguese: '''Metal, Metálico, Aço''' PS: Although the correct translation to Steel in portuguese would be Aço, its most commonly known in Brazil as Metal or Metalico, which mean respectively: Metal and Metallic.

Version-exclusive Pokémon

2010-02-26T00:53:29Z

Sp unit 262:

'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games in a single [[generation]], to encourage trading between multiple players. For instance, in the original {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red|s}}, {{p|Bellsprout}} was absent but appeared in {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Green|s}} ({{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue|s}} outside Japan). Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, as well as location of appearance in the wild.

Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. This list does not take note of Pokémon exclusive between [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] games, simply because there are too many Pokémon that are native to each individual region to list; a better indicator of those Pokémon which are missing from each region would be the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. However, even this does not take {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} into account, since the vast majority thereof is only listed in the [[National Pokédex|National Pokédex]] of those games. Furthermore, a list of Pokémon missing from the Generation III GameCube games, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, is far too long to be included in this context.

Take note that the Pokémon listed below are from that particular game, and will need to be traded from a game ''within the same generation'' that does not list them. Therefore, Pokémon obtainable in Generation II by trading with [[Generation I]], Pokémon obtainable in [[Generation IV]] by utilizing GBA games, [[legendary Pokémon]] and [[starter Pokémon]] and Pokémon obtained from attending promotional events, are all excluded from the following list.

It is of relevant note that in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, most of the version exclusives of the [[Generation III]] games can be caught in the wild by [[dual-slot mode|inserting one of the GBA games into the DS]]. In Pokémon XD, the seven Emerald-absent Pokémon are all obtainable, thus eliminating the need in trading with either {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire|s}}.

=={{color2|1b45c1|Generation I}}==
Please note that the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue Version]] does not have the same Pokémon distribution as the {{game3|Red and Blue|English Blue Version|s}}. The English Blue's Pokémon distribution is in fact the same as that of the {{game3|Red and Green|Japanese Green|s}}. Listed below under the "Blue" header is the Japanese Blue.

As trading is not possible between these games, the listed Pokémon will appear in the wild only when a rescue mission involving the Pokémon is completed. This requires a wonder mail code from the alternate version, in which the Pokémon is normally found.

Catch rate

2010-02-24T02:33:28Z

Sp unit 262: Triva wasn't true.

Each [[Pokémon (species)|species of Pokémon]] has a '''catch rate''', a number out of a maximum of 255, that applies to all its members. When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown at a wild Pokémon, the game uses a formula based on its current health, any status effect it may have, and that Pokémon's catch rate, to determine the chances of catching that Pokémon.

Approximately, the probability of catching a Pokémon starts with the species' catch rate divided by 255. Then it is multiplied by the following factors:
* The health of the Pokémon (relative to its full health), which can penalize up to {{tt|⅓|one third}}× at full health.
* The type of [[Poké Ball]], which can augment by some ×.
* The status of the wild Pokémon, i.e. 2× increase for sleep or freeze, and 1.5× for others.

The effects stack multiplicatively — for example, a 2× and a 3× will combine to be 6×. If the calculation ends up greater than 1, the wild Pokémon is assured to be caught.

The rarity of the Pokémon (i.e. how often it appears in the wild) is totally independent from its catch rate after it is encountered. Even rare Pokémon may have high catch rates, making them relatively easy to catch in battle, such as [[Nosepass]] (catch rate 255).

== Exact formula ==
The exact formula is as follows:

: [[Image:Catch formula 1.png]]
Where
* HPmax is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at full health,
* HPcurrent is the number of hit points the Pokémon has at the moment,
* rate is the catch rate of the Pokémon,
* bonusball is the multiplier for the Poké Ball used, and
* bonusstatus is the multiplier for any [[status ailment]] the Pokémon has (2 for sleep and freeze, 1.5 for paralyze, poison and burn).

Given this formula, the maximum value for ''a'' (if the Pokémon could have 0 HP) would be catch rate × bonusball × bonusstatus. The minimum value for ''a'' (for a Pokémon with full health) would be {{tt|⅓|one third}} × catch rate.

If ''a'' is greater than or equal to 255, then the Pokémon is caught. If not, then calculate ''b'' as follows:
: [[Image:Catch formula 2.png]]
Then generate 4 random numbers between 0 and 65535, inclusive. If the random numbers are less than or equal to ''b'', then the Pokémon is caught; otherwise the ball shakes ''n'' times, where ''n'' is the number of random numbers that are less than ''b''. Note that ''b'' ≥ 65535 if ''a'' ≥ 255.

Therefore, the probability ''p'' of catching a Pokémon, given the values ''a'' and ''b'' calculated above, is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3.png]]

The second expression for ''p'' may be expanded as follows:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3 expansion.png]]
Since (216 - 1)4 ≈ 264, we can approximate ''p'' with the following expression:
: [[Image:Catch formula 3 approximation.png]]
The percentage error in this approximation approaches 0 as ''a'' approaches 255, and does not exceed 0.02%.

For a constant probability ''p'', the probability ''P'' that a player can capture the Pokémon with no more than ''r'' tries is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 4.png]]
Note that this is the cumulative probability function for a {{wp|geometric distribution}}. The {{wp|expected value}} of ''r'' is 1/''p'', that is to say, on average, a Pokémon that can be caught with probability ''p'' will be caught with 1/''p'' tries.

The inverse problem, the number of tries, ''r'', needed to have a probability ''P'' of capturing a Pokémon is:
: [[Image:Catch formula 5.png]]
