==Blurb==

As the Gym Battle between Ash and Lenora is about to get under way, Ash observes that Lenora keeps a keen eye on all her potential challengers. She quickly judges Ash to be a no-nonsense Trainer, and they launch into a fierce two-on-two battle—it’s Lenora’s Watchog and Lillipup versus Ash’s Tepig and Oshawott.

Right off the bat, Lenora’s Lillipup catches Ash off guard by using Roar, which forces him to switch Tepig out of the battle and send out Oshawott. Lenora decides to switch too, bringing in her Watchog and immediately using Mean Look—which keeps Oshawott from switching out again!

Watchog proves to be a fierce opponent, and Oshawott is quickly defeated. When Ash sends out Tepig, Lenora switches back to Lillipup, and its Take Down attack ends the battle quickly. Tepig is defeated, and Lenora wins!

Upset by his defeat, Ash vows to train hard and challenge the Nacrene Gym again, and Nurse Joy recommends that Ash put in some time at the Pokémon Battle Club. Don George says he is happy to help out, and we leave our heroes as Ash prepares to do some serious special training to prepare for his rematch against Lenora!

==Plot==
Continuing their visit in [[Nacrene City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are led through the Museum by [[Lenora]] and her husband [[Hawes]]. Ash asks where the battlefield is, and {{an|Cilan}} remarks that there doesn't appear to be one on the premises. Lenora states that they'll find it soon enough as Hawes opens a door that is off-limits to their regular guests. Behind the door is a huge archive of research papers and priceless books. Cilan is especially impressed at the amount of history books about [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s and explains to Lenora that he's on this {{pkmn|journey}} to experience different people and Pokémon. Lenora wishes him luck in his studies.

Lenora asks Ash if he'd like to learn something about the history of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. He remarks that he's more interested in his Gym battle than studying, but Lenora mentions that knowledge is just as important in battle as strength. She knocks on a book and recommends it for Ash, though he's less than interested in reading it. {{an|Iris}} tells him that it might be best that he read it since she's suggesting it to him, and Cilan remarks that it might be a test. Ash decides he'll do anything for his Gym match so he pulls the book from the shelf and all of a sudden the bookcase rises, revealing a hidden staircase leading to the basement. Lenora confirms that it was all a test, and states that most Trainers just search for a book subject they are proficient in rather than the one she suggests. She uses this response to define what kind of personality a Trainer has, and states that Ash has a personality she can pester. Iris remarks that Ash has the personality that gets told off all the time. Ash challenges Lenora to study him carefully during their battle and with that, the five of them head down to the basement.

They enter the basement where a large battlefield is set up, and Ash is eager to start battling. Lenora tells him to be patient and study her Pokémon first. She calls out her {{p|Watchog}} and Ash is confident as he's met Watchog before. Lenora calls out her {{p|Lillipup}} which instantly makes Iris shriek with glee as she runs over and starts petting it. {{AP|Pikachu}} jumps off Ash's shoulder to play with the Pokémon as Ash scans it into his [[Pokédex]]. Hawes mentions that Watchog and Lillipup serve as guards for the museum when not engaged in a Gym match, and Lillipup comes over and greets Ash. Ash picks Lillipup up and it starts licking his cheek. Lenora begins giving Ash advice, but he doesn't pay any attention and Cilan is taken by Lenora's strategy of using {{t|Normal}} [[type]]s to test her opponents. Lenora is flattered by Cilan's statement and asks that Hawes explain the rules to Ash, which is just a two-on-two battle with both Ash and Lenora allowed to substitute Pokémon whenever they wish. Ash returns Lillipup to its Trainer and decides on the two Pokémon he's going to use. Lenora also returns Watchog to its {{i|Poké Ball}} and the two of them take their places on each side of the field.

Lillipup's playfulness instantly transforms into fierce competitiveness which surprises Iris. Ash calls out his {{AP|Tepig}} as his first Pokémon, but before it can do any damage, Lillipup forces Tepig back into his Poké Ball with {{m|Roar}} and a sleeping {{AP|Oshawott}} is sent out in his place. Lenora explains that Roar forces the opponent to switch Pokémon as she recalls her Lillipup and sends out Watchog. Ash pulls out a Poké Ball to return Oshawott, but Watchog uses {{m|Mean Look}}, which [[Escape prevention|prevents the recall beam from working]]. Everyone is impressed by Lenora's strategy to catch her opponents off guard by destroying their strategy. Ash orders Oshawott to use {{m|Water Gun}}, however Oshawott is very bitter about being sent out while it was napping so he uses half the force of a normal Water Gun. Oshawott is suddenly knocked off his feet when Watchog unleashes a quick {{m|Low Kick}}. This infuriates Oshawott who is now energized for battle, as is Lenora who orders Watchog to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash quickly orders Oshawott to deflect it with his [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]], which surprises both Watchog and Lenora. Oshawott charges into the fray, and Watchog attacks with another Low Kick, but before either of them hit, Oshawott jumps up and unleashes a powerful Water Gun. Oshawott charges towards Watchog once more and pulls out a {{m|Razor Shell}} and Lenora orders Watchog to slap the scalchop away with its tail. With his scalchop gone, Oshawott is defenseless, and Lenora orders another Thunderbolt which knocks Oshawott out.

Lenora returns Watchog and sends out her Lillipup and Ash sends his Tepig back out. Tepig uses {{m|Tackle}} which Lillipup easily dodges and counters with a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Tepig manages to stay on his feet and attack with an {{m|Ember}}. But its effort doesn't do much as Lillipup charges in with a {{m|Take Down}} attack which knocks Tepig out, winning Lenora the match. His confidence shot, Tepig looks sadly at Ash as he is given a bit of encouragement. Ash takes full responsibility for Tepig's loss and he thanks Lenora for the battle. Lenora tells Ash that she wasn't unimpressed by his strategy of facing her head-on, and invites him back for a [[rematch]] any time he wishes.

Ash, Iris, and Cilan await Tepig and Oshawott's treatment to be over at the [[Pokémon Center]] as Ash rests his head on his [[Egg case]]. Iris mentions that he's not acting like himself. Ash replies that he's upset that he did so poorly in the match. Iris and Cilan offer him a bit of encouraging advice that he should train Tepig and Oshawott a bit first so they can be up to Watchog and Lillipup's level. Suddenly the Pokémon Center doors open, and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} and [[Nurse Joy]] bring out Tepig and Oshawott, who are now feeling fine and more determined than ever to have a rematch with Lenora. Nurse Joy suggests that Ash go train at the Pokémon [[Battle Club]] in town for his rematch and that [[Don George]] might even know some strategies against Lenora.

That night, [[James]] confirms with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} that he has hacked the museum's security system and is in control of it. Jessie and Meowth find the [[Meteonite]] they were ordered to steal and James turns off the infrared sensors for exactly 20 seconds. Jessie and Meowth dash in, snatch the Meteonite, and replace it with the decoy before the sensors come back on with time to spare. They head back outside, get into James's van, and take off into the night.

The next morning, the group heads out to the Pokémon Battle Club to ask Don George for advice. Well aware of Lenora’s tricks, he agrees to assist Ash in training and promptly invites the young Trainer inside for some special training.

'''Ash's Talonflame''' (Japanese: '''サトシのファイアロー''' ''Satoshi's Fiarrow'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-fifth overall.

==In animation==
===History===
====={{aniseries|XY}}=====
[[File:Ash Froakie battling Fletchling.png|thumb|left|250px|Fletchling battling Froakie]]
Talonflame debuted as a Fletchling in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', where it stole a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was trying to feed to a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, which subsequently made Bonnie cry. As a result, [[Ash's Froakie]] attempted to battle Fletchling, only to be repeatedly knocked out of the air. After Fletchling left, {{an|Clemont}} tried to attract it with one of his [[Clemontic Gear]]s, only for Fletchling to set them up to be attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}. The chase led Ash and {{ashfr}} to a canyon, where Froakie challenged Fletchling to another battle. Using the terrain to its advantage, Froakie managed to defeat Fletchling, resulting in its catch by Ash. Fletchling was soon sent out again to be introduced to everyone else, where it shared an [[Oran Berry]] with Froakie and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Fletchling was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[Santalune Gym]] battle against [[Viola]], being pitted against her {{p|Surskit}}. It was unaffected by the slippery field caused by {{m|Ice Beam}}. Fletchling used {{m|Peck}}, dodging and avoiding an Ice Beam attack. Surskit used {{m|Sticky Web}}, which Fletchling dodged by using {{m|Double Team}}. It then used {{m|Razor Wind}}, hitting Surskit and knocking it out. It then went up against her {{p|Vivillon}}, who countered its Peck with {{m|Psychic}} and smashed it onto the ground. The {{pkmn|category|Tiny Robin Pokémon}} was then hit with {{m|Gust}} and was pushed into the Sticky Web that Surskit had set before, leaving it unable to escape and open to be hit with a powerful {{m|Solar Beam}}, knocking it out and causing Ash to lose the Gym battle. After it was healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], it trained with Pikachu for their rematch by [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Noivern}} using Gust to help them withstand Vivillon's Gust.
[[File:Ash Pikachu Fletchling training.png|thumb|250px|Fletchling and Pikachu training for the rematch against Viola]]
In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', while continuing its training along with Pikachu, it was able to withstand Noivern's Gust well before switching to using one of Clemont's inventions to practice avoiding Surskit's Sticky Web. After the machine broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. During the rematch, it went up against Vivillon. Its {{m|Steel Wing}} was countered with Psychic, dealing damage to Fletchling. It hit with a second Steel Wing, but its Peck was dodged. Vivillon used Gust, but using its training, it was able to withstand it and use a spinning Razor Wind, but Vivillon used its final move, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, to put Fletchling to {{status|sleep}} and Solar Beam defeated it.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon during his battle against [[Grant]] at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Fletchling went up against {{p|Tyrunt}}. It used Razor Wind, but Tyrunt used its powerful mouth and fangs with {{m|Crunch}} to bite and block the move. Ash changed strategy and, trying to confuse Tyrunt, he had Fletchling use Double Team before aiming a Steel Wing attack at its chest. Tyrunt jumped and dodged the attacks and then used {{m|Dragon Tail}} to destroy the copies, but the real Fletchling hit Tyrunt with a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] Steel Wing. Despite Fletchling's best efforts, the Royal Heir Pokémon hit back with another Dragon Tail attack, knocking Fletchling out.
[[File:Ash Fletchling Sky Battle.png|thumb|250px|left|Fletchling and Ash in a Sky Battle]]
In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Ash and his friends met a Trainer named [[Moria]], a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, and her {{p|Talonflame}}. She offered to have a [[Sky Battle]] with Ash and took them to a place where they could test the Sky Battle gear. Ash invited Fletchling and {{AP|Hawlucha}} to join them while they practiced. When Fletchling met Talonflame, it wished to battle it, but Talonflame was not impressed, and Moria chose to battle Hawlucha instead, which upset Fletchling. Fletchling stayed with Bonnie while Ash and Hawlucha battled Talonflame, studying how Talonflame moved and attacked. After Hawlucha was defeated, it helped rescue Talonflame from Team Rocket, earning Talonflame's respect. Afterward, Talonflame decided it wanted to battle against Fletchling after all. Fletchling was able to dodge many of Talonflame's attacks due to its small size and using what it learned from watching Hawlucha's battle. Fletchling was eventually hit by a powerful {{m|Fire Blast}} and evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}} in the process. It successfully defeated Talonflame with its newly learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, using the speed increase from the new move three times to follow it and attack easily.

Fletchinder was used during Ash's battle against {{an|Korrina}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''. It was his second Pokémon and went against Korrina's {{p|Machoke}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Machoke used its incredible running and jumping ability to dodge and hit Fletchinder with {{m|Brick Break}}. Fletchinder struggled before eventually using Flame Charge to speed up and hit Machoke, knocking it out. Korrina then sent out her final Pokémon, her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, and she immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] it into {{me|Lucario}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge, but Mega Lucario used {{m|Metal Sound}}, blocking Flame Charge and lowering Fletchinder's Special Defense. Fletchinder broke through and hit Mega Lucario with Flame Charge. Mega Lucario then used {{m|Aura Sphere}} that was countered with Steel Wing. Mega Lucario quickly came from behind and used {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, knocking Fletchinder out.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Fletchinder was called out to battle [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} at the [[Coumarine Gym]]. It used Flame Charge but Jumpluff was able to protect itself by using {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Jumpluff then used {{m|Sunny Day}}, creating [[harsh sunlight]]. Fletchinder then used Steel Wing, but Jumpluff managed to dodge thanks to its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]]. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but its attack was once again dodged. However, the effect of Flame Charge increased its {{stat|Speed}}, allowing it to hit with a second one. Although Jumpluff used Cotton Guard, it was not enough, and Fletchinder defeated the Cottonweed Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's {{p|Weepinbell}}, Fletchinder used Flame Charge, but it was dodged, as Weepinbell activated its Chlorophyll Ability using the harsh sunlight from Jumpluff. It used Flame Charge again, but Weepinbell used its {{m|Poison Powder}} to escape, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Fletchinder in the process. While it was down, it was hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Fletchinder got up and used Flame Charge, but the Flycatcher Pokémon dodged and used the vines above the battlefield to climb on top of Fletchinder and launch {{m|Slam}}, rendering Fletchinder [[Fainting|unable to battle]].
[[File:Ash Talonflame Flame Body.png|thumb|250px|Flame Body activated]]
In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Fletchinder was the first Pokémon sent out by Ash during his battle against [[Valerie]] at the [[Laverre Gym]]. It went up against her {{p|Sylveon}}. Fletchinder landed a successful supereffective Steel Wing on Sylveon, but it was hit with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Fletchinder attempted to use {{m|Peck}}, but it got caught in Sylveon's feelers and was spun around while being hit with {{m|Fairy Wind}}. Sylveon attempted to crash Fletchinder into the ground, but it was able to break free with Flame Charge and hit Sylveon. Sylveon used {{m|Giga Impact}} while Fletchinder used Steel Wing; both attacks hit, but only Fletchinder was able to remain up, defeating the Intertwining Pokémon. Valerie then used {{p|Spritzee}}, Fletchinder went for a Steel Wing but the Perfume Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Trick Room}}, meaning that the slowest Pokémon attacks first. Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge but Clemont realized it was a bad idea since Trick Room meant that Pokémon that are normally fast would be slower inside the Trick Room. With this, Spritzee easily dodged the attacks. Despite this, Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge and Spritzee hit Fletchinder with {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge again, which was dodged, leaving it open to get hit by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After having another Flame Charge dodged, Trick Room ended and Fletchinder hit Spritzee with a speedy Steel Wing, which caused the other to realize Ash's strategy was to wait until Trick Room ended and then use speed. However, Fletchinder was hit by {{m|Moonblast}} and knocked out.

In ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', it was training until Hawlucha found an Egg and brought it back to Ash. While it was hatching, Fletchinder used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to keep it warm until it hatched into a {{AP|Noibat}}. Later, after Noibat was frustrated by its inability to fly, it and Hawlucha offered to help to teach it to fly; Fletchinder flew while Noibat tried to trail it by flying but failed and almost crashed into the ground until Ash caught it. After failing with Hawlucha, they went to the hills to make practicing easier; however, Hawlucha and Noibat were captured by Team Rocket. Fletchinder tried to rescue them with Steel Wing, but {{TP|James|Inkay}} used its Ink Spray, blinding Fletchinder and stopping its attack. Ash caught it and then followed Team Rocket to a cave where it led Ash and the others to them, where Pikachu and {{AP|Frogadier}} defeated Team Rocket. After Ash caught Noibat, Fletchinder continued training with Noibat and Hawlucha, to help teach Noibat to fly.

In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', it continued to train Noibat to fly along with Hawlucha. Afterwards they noticed a {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. They went to the source of this, the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]], where they discovered that the birds came from the Sky Relay Champion, [[Orson]]. Later, Ash used Fletchinder, Hawlucha, and Noibat in the relay. Fletchinder was used in the first part of the race. It had a good lead initially and did well when it got into the forest, but when a {{p|Hydreigon}} crashed into a tree, apples fell, forcing Fletchinder to dodge them, causing it to lose its first position. It ended up being third at the end of the first segment when it passed the baton onto Hawlucha, behind Staravia and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, which was hiding inside an Altaria. They eventually ended up second after Noibat barely lost to Starly, but it and the others were pleased with Noibat, who had successfully learned to fly.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|left|Talonflame battling Moltres]]
In ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it was used in a battle against {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmeleon}}. It used its speedy movements to dodge a {{m|Fire Spin}} and block {{m|Flamethrower}} with a spinning Steel Wing. After knocking Charmeleon back with Flame Charge, Fletchinder barely managed to avoid a Dragon Claw. Charmeleon then used Flamethrower again, but this was dodged again and Fletchinder struck the Flame Pokémon with Steel Wing, knocking it out. Shortly after, Ash called upon Fletchinder to battle Team Rocket and later, a wild {{p|Moltres}}. However, it was soon overwhelmed by the power of the Legendary Pokémon. When Ash tried to tell Fletchinder to wait for him, Moltres noticed the group and attacked them instead. Fletchinder, determined to save the group, sped ahead of Moltres's Flamethrower and, during the fast-paced flight, suddenly evolved into {{p|Talonflame}} and successfully blocked the attack, also learning {{m|Brave Bird}} as a result. Though it evolved and learned a new move, Moltres was too strong and knocked Talonflame out with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Falling toward the lava, Talonflame looked doomed, but Ash plunged to help it, risking his own life. They avoided being incinerated when Frogadier saved them with its Frubbles. Once Ash and Talonflame were safely pulled up, Ash's friends scolded him for almost getting himself killed, but Moltres was impressed by Ash's courage and flew away into the sky.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Talonflame was used along with Frogadier in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the Anistar Gym. The two initially had a difficult time dodging their opponents' moves thanks to their {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}} and the female Meowstic's Ability {{a|Keen Eye}}. However, Ash devised a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. During an exchange of attacks, Frogadier was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by the female Meowstic's {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Eventually, it and Talonflame charged at the Meowstic and managed to grab onto them. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. As Talonflame knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, Frogadier prepared to defeat the male with Water Pulse. Despite initial difficulties with its paralysis, Frogadier managed to overpower the male Meowstic's Psyshock, thanks to Ash's words of encouragement, and knocked Meowstic out. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', Ash sent out Talonflame to try to distract a wild {{p|Zapdos}} that was attacking him so he could reach [[Joule Town]] and deliver medicine to the town's hospital. Talonflame once more managed to hold its own against a Legendary bird, using its great speed to dodge Zapdos's attacks. Zapdos, however, eventually struck it down with {{m|Charge Beam}}, followed up by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, forcing Ash to recall it.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Wulfric Avalugg.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame battling Wulfric's Avalugg]]
In ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', Ash chose to use Talonflame as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], facing his {{p|Avalugg}}. Talonflame made a strong opening with Flame Charge, also increasing his speed. Wulfric, however, used Talonflame's great Speed to his advantage and had Avalugg use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent. Additionally, any attacks made by Talonflame were quickly healed because of Avalugg's {{a|Ice Body}} Ability, due to the {{weather|Hail|hailstorm}} set up previously. Talonflame narrowly dodged the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}, and hit Avalugg with another Flame Charge. However, this proved a repeated mistake as Avalugg simply knocked it out with another Avalanche.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Talonflame was used in Ash's rematch with Wulfric, where it faced his Avalugg again. Like last time, it managed to land a hit with Flame Charge. Avalugg then retaliated with Stone Edge and while Talonflame managed to dodge most of the stone pillars emerging from the ground, it got struck by the last one. Talonflame, however, shook it off and cut into Avalugg's back with Steel Wing. A powered-up Avalanche then hit Talonflame, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to melt the falling chunks of ice and hit Avalugg hard, finally defeating the Iceberg Pokémon. It then faced Wulfric's last Pokémon, his {{p|Abomasnow}}, who set up a hailstorm upon entry using his {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability. While continuously being damaged by the Hail, Talonflame flew towards Abomasnow using Steel Wing, but Abomasnow countered with {{m|Wood Hammer}}, overpowering it. Talonflame then went for Flame Charge, but its attack was stopped once again as it got struck by {{m|Ice Shard}} and immediately after slammed to the ground with another Wood Hammer, knocking it out.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Talonflame was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Sawyer]] as his second Pokémon, where it faced Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Just like in Slaking's battle against Hawlucha, Slaking took a hit from Talonflame's Steel Wing and restored its health with {{m|Slack Off}}. Talonflame then used Flame Charge which {{p|Slaking}} countered with {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Weakened by all the damage it had taken, Slaking fell to its knee, allowing Talonflame to overpower it. Talonflame then proceeded to defeat its opponent with a strong Brave Bird. Talonflame then faced Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}, who was able to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} for greater aerial mobility, forcing Talonflame to take evasive actions. Clawitzer was then able to partially freeze Talonflame's wing with Ice Beam, but the Scorching Pokémon used Flame Charge to melt the ice and head toward Clawitzer. However, a collision between Flame Charge and Aqua Jet knocked Talonflame out while Clawitzer remained standing.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Alain Unfezant.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame battling Alain's Unfezant]]
Talonflame was used in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]] as Ash's fourth Pokémon, in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. It went up against {{p|Unfezant}}. The two Flying-types immediately engaged in a high-speed aerial duel as both attacked each other with Steel Wing, after which they clashed. Talonflame sped itself up with Flame Charge, but Unfezant countered with {{m|Sky Attack}}. Talonflame was struck by an {{m|Air Slash}}, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to increase its speed to catch up to Unfezant and strike him back. The two bird Pokémon then collided with Brave Bird and Sky Attack, knocking both out simultaneously.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Talonflame, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Talonflame and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and a {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. Talonflame continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', but while charging towards it using Flame Charge, it was knocked into the air by Stone Edge along with Ash's Greninja. Charizard then caught them, but Gyarados slammed them down with Dragon Tail, knocking Talonflame out. In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Talonflame and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from {{an|Professor Sycamore}} for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

Ash left Talonflame at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Alola]].

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
[[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame with Ash's Fire types and Gengar]]
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Talonflame reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Some time before, Talonflame had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle Moltres.

Talonflame, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

[[File:Ash Kalos Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|left|Talonflame encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Talonflame watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Talonflame appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Talonflame joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Talonflame, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', Talonflame was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it used its Flame Body Ability to thaw Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Oshawott}} from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Beartic}}'s ice. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to control its powers better.

In ''[[JN142|The Same Moon, Now and Forever!]]'', Talonflame appeared in a flashback as Fletchinder.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Talonflame assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} around Oak's lab, but to no avail.
{{-}}

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Talonflame.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame and Ash]]
Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. It was also shown to be mischievous as it led the group to a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. Fletchling also showed a sense of humor by laughing at them after being attacked. After Ash caught Fletchling, it warmed up to the group and became friendly towards them. Compared to the more subdued {{AP|Greninja}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, Fletchling tends to be more animated and emotional, puffing its chest out when confident and showing visible shock and tears when upset. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Fletchling became dejected after [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}} dismissed it as weak. It was also shown in the same episode to be intelligent and resourceful; while Talonflame battled Hawlucha, it studied how Talonflame battled, and used what it learned to evade and defeat the evolved Pokémon later.

Talonflame is usually used as a scout, like Ash's previous birds. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. It is safe to assume, therefore, that Talonflame is an accomplished battler. Talonflame hasn't shown the same enthusiasm as Hawlucha or Greninja, but when in battle, it becomes focused and determined to defeat its opponent, no matter what the opponent may be, even if at a type disadvantage. Talonflame has also adopted Ash's never-give-up mentality, as it has taken many hard-hitting blows in the past and always gotten back up. This shows that Talonflame is quite a resilient Pokémon. It also seemed to want to prove itself against other Flying types, as it wished to fight Moria's Talonflame to the point of crying in frustration when rejected by it. Both of its Evolutions occurring in battles against other Flying-types further indicate this. In addition, Talonflame is willing to put itself in harm's way to protect its friends. As a Fletchinder in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it intercepted {{p|Moltres}}'s powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to protect Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Greninja as a Frogadier, Trevor, and Trevor's Charmeleon. After evolving, it fought to exhaustion to calm the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', during a [[Double Battle]] with [[Olympia]], Talonflame voluntarily stepped up to cover Greninja as a Frogadier and provide an offensive push for Ash after Greninja was {{status|paralyzed}} by Olympia's {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
[[File:Ash Noibat flying.png|thumb|left|250px|Fletchinder teaching Noibat how to fly]]
Talonflame is also humble in defeat. After losing to Greninja as a Froakie when it was a Fletchling, which resulted in its subsequent catch, Talonflame did not sulk or feel sorry for itself. Rather, it shared an [[Oran Berry]] snack with Pikachu and Froakie, symbolizing their newfound friendship. Talonflame is also loyal to its friends, which is shown by its constant willingness to search for its friends whenever they get separated from {{ashfr|the group}}. Talonflame seems to have a good relationship with {{an|Bonnie}}, as it took inspiration from her words, which helped it to evolve when a Fletchling. This also shows that Talonflame is not too proud to refuse advice when given it and will persist in improving itself. It has also been hinted that Talonflame has become more moralistic, as it showed remorse after being scolded by Bonnie for stealing food from [[wild Pokémon]]. It also enjoys having its wings cleaned by Bonnie, as stated by Ash.

As shown in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' Talonflame also has good parental instincts. Upon discovering a [[Pokémon Egg]], Talonflame, as a Fletchinder, used its Flame Body Ability to keep the Egg warm. Once the Egg hatched and was revealed to be a Noibat, Fletchinder and Hawlucha became Noibat's mentors and began to teach it how to fly. It continued to help Noibat with its flying abilities in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', which led it to form a friendship with the Sound Wave Pokémon. Since being left at Professor Oak's lab, Talonflame befriended Ash's Fire types.

===Pokémon Journeys===
Talonflame appeared in ''[[JNM20|Advice to Goh!]]'' at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Out of all of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon, Talonflame is the only one:
** To have changed one of its [[type]]s upon [[Evolution]].
** With a confirmed [[Ability]] that has not been used in a battle.
* Talonflame is Ash's first:
** {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is not a [[first partner Pokémon]] since his {{AP|Torkoal}}, which he caught in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]'', 503 episodes earlier.
*** It is also his only Fire-type who isn't a first partner Pokémon to have evolved.
** Pokémon to have evolved while battling a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
*** As a Fletchling, it is also Ash's first basic stage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to get a win in a Gym battle prior to its Evolution.
*** As a Fletchinder, it is also the first of Ash's Pokémon to evolve after defeating its evolved form.
* Both of Talonflame's Evolutions occurred when it was battling a dual-type Fire/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Fletchling's Evolution into Fletchinder was first revealed in the Japanese opening ''[[V (Volt)|Mega V]]''. Fletchinder made its proper debut in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', before its Evolution was shown on-screen in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''.
* Aside from {{AP|Pikachu}}, Talonflame has been used in the most [[Gym]] battles by Ash, having battled in seven Gyms.
* Talonflame is the first Fire-type Pokémon belonging to a main character to have never known {{m|Flamethrower}}.
* Excluding his previously released {{AP|Pidgeot}} that permanently rejoined his team in ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Talonflame is the last regional bird Ash has caught during {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* Not counting temporary captures, Talonflame was the last Pokémon caught by Ash that did not willingly join his team.

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Alakazam''' using the [[Alakazite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Alakazam OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Alakazam for the [[original series]]]]
Alakazam is a slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large mustache. A female Alakazam has a significantly shorter mustache than a male. It has a long, thin snout, narrow eyes, ear-like spikes extending from the top of its head, and an additional spike protruding from each cheek. Covering its yellow, skeletal body are brown armor-like sections over its chest, shoulders, forearms, and knees. There are three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw. Two of the toes face forward, while one faces backward. It wields a silver spoon in each hand, which act as amplifiers for its psychic abilities. The spoons are created using its psychic powers, and it may give one to someone it trusts. According to its [[Pokémon Ultra Moon]] Pokédex entry, anything eaten with the spoon becomes delicious.

Alakazam is able to use all forms of psychic abilities. The overflow of its psychic powers can cause headaches to those nearby. These powers are used to move its body, as opposed to its weak muscles. It also uses its psychic powers to hold up its head, which is too heavy to be supported by its neck. Due to its continually growing brain, its head becomes larger with age. It is said to have an excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} since hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, to the time of its death, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Alakazam and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Forms===
Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Alakazam.

As Mega Alakazam, its mustache turns white and becomes longer and bushier. It also grows a long, white beard. The armor-like sections become bulkier, and its upper body section becomes slightly shorter to reveal its thin stomach. The ear-like spikes become slightly shorter, and a larger spike forms on top of its head. Additionally, it gains an oval, red organ in the center of its forehead, which is said to emit psychic power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Alakazam Mega Alakazam | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Alakazam archived])</ref> Its lower legs become longer and slimmer, and its feet become skinnier and resemble talons. It gains three additional spoons, for a total of five that it levitates in the air.

At the cost of its already-low muscular strength, Mega Alakazam's power is entirely converted to pure psychic energy. Mega Alakazam is constantly floating thanks to its psychic powers. It can read the course of a person's entire life with a single glance. Mega Alakazam's red organ allows it to foresee every move an opponent makes and everything else. Its precognition is powerful enough to make an attack completely miss it.

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

==Trivia==
* Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, they reach their final stage by [[Trade|trading]], level up at a Medium Slow rate, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. Their evolutionary lines are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will [[List of in-game trades#Diamond Pearl and Platinum|trade]] her Abra for a Machop. Additionally, their base friendship is the same at 70, and all Pokémon in both of their respective evolutionary lines are in the Human-Like Egg Group. Finally, while Alakazam has a Mega Evolution, Machamp has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
** Alakazam could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gengar}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, which can only be achieved by trading, both have Mega Evolutions, Gengar is weak against Psychic moves and Alakazam is weak against Ghost moves, so they are weak and at the same time strong against each other. They have the same length, and both get smaller when they Mega Evolve. Their base friendship is also the same, with 70. In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', there are a Gengar and an Alakazam put against each other. Since Generation VI, they both have a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to Dark-type Moves. They also have the same stat structure throughout their Evolutions, always having high Speed and Special Attack, and being very low in Physical Defense and still relatively low in Special Defense, HP, and Physical Attack.
* Alakazam was the only Pokémon whose [[Base stats|base stat total]] does not increase by exactly 100 points upon [[Mega Evolution]], gaining instead only 90 points overall. This only applied to it in [[Generation VI]] because Mega Alakazam received another 10 points in its Special Defense in [[Generation VII]].
** Because some form of Alakazam had its {{stat|Special Defense}} raised in both Generation VI and Generation VII, Alakazam is the only Pokémon whose base stats changed more than once after [[Generation II]].
* Alakazam has the lowest average [[performance]] of any fully evolved Pokémon.
* In {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Alakazam is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magician}} and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|foxes}}, animals mythologically tied to magic. As it created the spoons with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practice of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesize metals with magic. Its horns, talons, and long mustache are also reminiscent of {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, which similarly are considered miraculous beings.

Mega Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|sorcerer}} or {{wp|wizard}}, or possibly {{wp|sadhu}}s with psychic powers. The shape of its head resembles the main symbol of {{wp|Thelema}}, the unicursal hexagram, but with a gem in the place of the central five-petalled flower.

====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is derived from ''[[Wiktionary:alakazam#English|alakazam]]'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}} similar to ''{{wp|abracadabra}}''.

Foodin may be named after ''{{wp|Harry Houdini}}'', a famed {{wp|illusionist}} and {{wp|escape artist}}.

== Appearance Description ==

Should there be a description of the Pokemon's appearance? Machampionship says that it should go on the Floette page because it's describing the Eternal Flower form and not AZ's Floette, but I would argue that AZ's Floette IS the Eternal Flower Floette. She's the ONLY Eternal Flower Floette, there aren't any other ones in the entire world, and they're interchangeable names for her in my opinion, so I think the description should go here. A brief description for the form on the Floette page, and a more detailed description for the character page makes sense to me. (Plus it seems kind of silly to have the appearance section just be a picture of Mega Floette and nothing else.)

Anyone else have any opinions on this? [[User:SpaceDimentio|SpaceDimentio]] ([[User talk:SpaceDimentio|talk]]) 07:09, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

:The existence of a Shiny variant for Eternal Flower Floette proves that AZ's Floette is not literally the only one of its kind in existence. I think information regarding the Eternal Flower form should go to the Floette page because articles about specific Pokémon characters tend to talk about their history, personality, and movesets. Their biological characteristics are more relevant to the species they belong to. [[User:Machampionship|Machampionship]] ([[User talk:Machampionship|talk]]) 16:09, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
::Yes, it's standard for forms recognized by the Pokédex to have physical descriptions in the Biology section on species pages, even if they are heavily associated with a specific individual Pokémon, such as Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Ogerpon's forms. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 16:43, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
::True, however at the time, there is no offical way to get the shiny form of Eternal Flower Floette. While the form is obtainable after 11 years, yet to be seen for Shiny form. The way I see it, AZ's Floette is the only of its species that is alive as this rare flower, which is lore and pokedex entries has pointed out no longer exists in present day, expect in one place in Hoen. If we can add anything to appearance, maybe Hyperrogue Ange Floette as its being formed by Ange's mega power combining or taking control of Mega Floette, making this abomination machine of terror boss to fight and stop. I think what we have on eternal flower Floette on mage is Floette page is good as it has unique biology and lore that is good enough for this page. If we do need to expand on this page, lets take Ogerpon's page as an example on how to handle it or Terapagos character page. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 16:47, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
:::Just because Shiny Eternal Flower Floette is Shiny-locked doesn't mean that it's not real. After all, several Legendary Pokémon with unobtainable Shiny variants have made appearances in other media, such as the anime. AZ's Floette is the only Eternal Flower Floette that has been seen in canon, but she was never technically stated to be the only Floette with her form. Therefore, I think it makes more sense to keep information about the Eternal Flower form in the Floette species' page. [[User:Machampionship|Machampionship]] ([[User talk:Machampionship|talk]]) 17:55, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
::::You've got a point about the shiny, I hadn't considered that. I still think there should be at least a short couple sentences description for Floette, Mega Floette, and Hyperrogue Ange Floette here. Or the Appearance section should be deleted for not having any content in it. [[User:SpaceDimentio|SpaceDimentio]] ([[User talk:SpaceDimentio|talk]]) 18:07, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

SpaceDimentio: There was nothing wrong with the rest of my edits. I deleted the first paragraph of the "In the core games" section because literally all of that information is stated elsewhere on this page. Everything else is minor tweaks for readability or correcting small mistakes.

'''AZ's Floette''' is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} Floette befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike other {{p|Floette}}, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She plays a major part in the storyline of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette being resurrected by [[AZ]]'s [[Ultimate weapon|machine]]]]
</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a Trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

</div>
Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], taking the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

She is the only known Floette who is capable of Mega Evolving, possibly as a result of being revived by [[Infinity Energy]]. This may also be why she is unable to evolve.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for Eternal Flower Floette in the Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]] games, although she cannot be legitimately obtained in those games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her cry is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base experience yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credits.

[[File:AZ Floette PG.png|thumb|250px|Floette in Pokémon Generations]]
===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returns to AZ.

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

'''AZ's Floette''' is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} Floette befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike other {{p|Floette}}, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She plays a major part in the storyline of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette being resurrected by [[AZ]]'s [[Ultimate weapon|machine]]]]
</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her cry is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base experience yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credits.

===Appearance and Abilities===
Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shaped tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye leaves are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

=====Mega Floette=====
Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

====Hyperrogue Ange Floette====
[[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]] was formed out of [[Prism Tower]] when [[Ange]] became overwhelmed by Floette's [[Mega Power]], fusing with her. Its body is composed of metal trussing threaded through with thick bundles of black vines. An enormous flower bud forms its head and red and blue Eternal Flowers grow out of various points of its body.

===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returns to AZ.

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Prism Tower Ange ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|Ange, embedded into the [[Prism Tower]]]]
'''Ange''' (Japanese: '''アンジュ''' ''Ange'') is a machine created by [[AZ]] 2,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, situated in what would become [[Prism Tower]] in [[Lumiose City]]. It is the counterpart to the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its existence is revealed in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, serving a crucial role in the game's main storyline.

==History==
===Background===
[[File:Ange control center AZ ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|The control center of Ange]]
2,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, during [[AZ]]'s aimless wandering, a man of great power asked for his help with a way to protect [[Kalos]]. Instead of making another device that would take from others like the [[ultimate weapon]], he decided to build one that would use the eternal life he had bestowed on his {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} [[AZ's Floette|Floette]]. The device is christened "Ange", and it is embedded into [[Prism Tower]]. He had planned to use it after reuniting with Floette, but that day did not come to pass as they were living in a time of peace.

===Pokémon X and Y===
Five years prior to {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and during the events of {{g|X and Y}}, [[Lysandre]] sought to activate both Ange and the ultimate weapon at the same time. However, the activation of Ange required Eternal Flower Floette, which Lysandre couldn't find, and thus he settled for activating only the ultimate weapon. After the ultimate weapon was reactivated, the shock caused Ange to reawaken as well, unleashing its Mega Power and causing the phenomenon of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] and the appearance of [[Mega Crystal]]s across [[Lumiose City]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Fearing the inevitable reactivation of Ange, AZ approached [[Quasartico Inc.]] three years after the re-firing of the ultimate weapon with a warning. Quasartico Inc. itself would soon establish the [[Z-A Royale]] as a ploy to help AZ find the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user in the city. Conversations with AZ and Lysandre, now known as "L", revealed that the only way to stop Ange is to have a [[Pokémon Trainer]] Mega Evolve AZ's Floette. L also mentioned that the player would need {{p|Zygarde}}, who had tasked him with helping it regain its full power and find a Trainer worthy of it.

As revealed in [[Mega Dimension]], at some point after Prism Tower was closed down by [[Quasartico Inc.]], a {{p|Darkrai}} wandered into Lumiose and settled on top of Prism Tower to stay away from everyone down below. As a result, however, it got exposed to all the [[Mega Power]] leaking from Ange, causing its nightmare powers to be enhanced and go out of control. This created a [[dimension]] composed of the subconscious thoughts and memories of the people and Pokémon of Lumiose, which came to be known as [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

At the climax of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] manage to reach the control panel of Ange with Mega Floette and have her absorb the Mega Power emanating from the tower. However, instead of shutting down, Ange instead goes fully rogue, absorbing Mega Floette's power and turning into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, unleashing gigantic flowers and roots all over the city and causing many wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to undergo Rogue Mega Evolution. The player, with the help of everyone in the city, reaches Zygarde and earns its trust, and they and Zygarde work together to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. After its defeat, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a powered up {{M|Light of Ruin}} on [[Lumiose City]], necessitating the player to Mega Evolve Zygarde into Mega Zygarde and have it unleash its {{m|Nihil Light}} [[move]], releasing AZ's Floette from Ange's influence and eliminating Ange for good. The destruction of the machine summons {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} to Lumiose City, attracted by the machine's released life energy.

====[[Mega Dimension]]====
Spatial distortions leading to [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] started appearing all over the real Lumiose, threatening to merge and swallow the entire city.

==Abilities==
Ange is powered up by [[AZ]]'s {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} [[AZ's Floette| Floette]]. Both the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user and AZ's Mega Floette are necessary to control it using the control panel at the top of [[Prism Tower]].

By using the [[Mega Power]] contained within, it is capable of granting eternal life to living beings. While the machine is intended to be activated using Mega Floette, it can also be unintentionally activated on its own when sensing danger, such as the shock of the ultimate weapon's activation in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Its Mega Power can attract [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Lumiose City]], notably the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Xerneas}} and {{P|Yveltal}}. It can also induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] on wild Pokémon and cause [[Mega Crystal]]s to form across the city. When the machine is fully activated, Ange will reveal its true form, Ange Floette. However, if the activation fails and Mega Floette loses control of the machine, she will be absorbed into Ange and both will become Hyperrogue Ange Floette, a state similar to Rogue Mega Evolution, where it'll gain the ability of using Floette's moves (particularly {{M|Light of Ruin}}), control gigantic roots and even giant versions of Floette's Eternal Flowers, which also can also use Floette's moves.

==Hyperrogue Ange Floette==
[[File:Hyperrogue Ange Floette.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Hyperrogue Ange Floette's head]]
'''Hyperrogue Ange Floette''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|超大暴走アンジュフラエッテ|Chōdai-bōsō Anju Furaette}}''' ''Extremely Rampant Ange Floette'') is a related transformation of [[AZ]]'s [[AZ's Floette|Floette]] caused by Ange. It fights similarly to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; the main difference is that Ange itself has gone rogue due to excessive Mega Energy instead.

Unique to this fight is that the player is facing Hyperrogue Ange Floette with the aid of {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Forme}}. The fight is a scripted encounter where the player deals damage to Red and Blue Eternal Flower opponents and then Zygarde attacks with either of its [[signature move]]s three times before ending the fight with {{m|Core Enforcer}}.

Hyperrogue Ange Floette cannot be directly damaged by the player. Zygarde will distract the black flower high in the sky above, while the player battles it on the ground to create an opening for Zygarde to launch an attack. The creature battles the player using a Blue Eternal Flower and Red Eternal Flower that are [[Type#Typeless|typeless]], immune to all [[status condition]]s, and resistant to all regular attacks, but are vulnerable to [[Plus Move]]s.

The flowers can use one of several attacks, and will prioritise targeting the player themselves over their Pokémon:
* A lashing attack that can hits targets at close range in front of the flower twice. Only the Red Eternal Flower uses this attack.
* A barrage of energy projectiles that travel in one direction.
* A shockwave that damages anyone within a small area of effect.
In the second phase of the fight, they gain the following attacks:
* A powerful, continuous stream of energy that is beamed at long-range in one direction, dealing very heavy continuous damage to anyone struck by it. This attack has a long wind-up.
* A toxic aura that damages anyone within it. Only the Blue Eternal Flower uses this attack.
In the third phase of the fight, they gain one additional attack:
* A single large projectile that deals high damage.
Additionally, in the third phase, the flowers' previous attacks are modified:
* The toxic aura attack now creates a large aura around the flower.
* The shockwave attack deals damage in a targeted area of the ground, which is telegraphed with purple sparks appearing on the ground before becoming electrified.
* The flowers will track their target when firing the projectile barrage.
* The energy stream attack deals higher damage.
* The lashing attack hits multiple times around the flower, before ending with a single powerful slam.

Defeating a flower will deal a small portion of damage to Hypperogue Ange Floette. After defeating both flowers, the player will switch to Zygarde in the sky, who is able to use {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, or {{m|Land's Wrath}} to strike the black flower. Regardless of which move is used, Zygarde will deal a large portion of damage to Hyperrogue Ange Floette. The player will then switch back to the [[player character]] on the ground, who will need to defeat the flowers again in order to create an opening for Zygarde to attack once again.

After the first phase, the black flower will use {{m|Light of Ruin}}, and Zygarde will create a green barrier that the player must quickly move under for protection. Occasionally, the flowers will submerge into the ground, singnaling that the black flower is about to use this attack again. Once Hyperrogue Ange Floette reaches low [[HP]], the player switches back to Zygarde, who must attack the black flower using [[Core Enforcer]] to defeat the entity.

Following this, Hyperrogue Ange Floette will make a final, desperate attempt to destroy Lumiose City using Light of Ruin. The [[pebble]] in the player's [[bag|satchel]] will start reacting, and they will be prompted to select it, turning it into a [[Zygardite]] which is subsequently used to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Zygarde. As Mega Zygarde, the player must use one final move, {{m|Nihil Light}} to stop the attack and destroy the machine once and for all. Unlike Rogue Mega Evolutions, Hyperrogue Ange Floette cannot be refought post-game, and is fought only once in the finale of the main story.

===Appearance===
Hyperrogue Ange Floette was formed out of [[Prism Tower]] when Ange became overwhelmed by the [[Mega Power]] of [[AZ's Floette]], fusing with her. Its body is composed of metal trussing, with all of the building's concrete and glass having crumbled away when vines erupted out of it during the transformation. Bundles of thick black vines that resemble electrical cables thread throughout the inside of the hollow metal beams, holding the broken building together.

At the top of the tower is an enormous flower bud inside of a metal cage made out of three rings. The cage ends in closed vertical pincers, giving it the appearance of a snout. The bud has two glowing purple eyes on each side, which are connected by a V-shaped groove that extends towards the tip of the bud. At the base of the bud are faintly visible black leaves resembling scales. Erupting from the top are two branches that have three spikes each, with the spikes on one being blue and the other being red. From the back of the bud hang several long tentacle-like vines, and on the back of the neck is a line of hollow oval-shaped leaves that stick straight out like spikes. Both the bud and the cage can open like a mouth, and at the center of the bud is a smaller crystalline bud which is used as a focal point of Hyperrogue Ange Floette's power when attacking with [[Light of Ruin]].


The bottom of the tower is raised from the ground and is made of two layers of triangular, trussed plates that are curved on the bottom, resembling an upside-down, partially bloomed flower. Above that is a fence of upwards-pointing spikes that go all the way around the base.

The tower's four support pillars become legs, connected to the base by more bundled vines. Each leg has an 'ankle' formed by a metal block, with another metal block acting as the 'foot'. The vines that run through the leg twist when coming out of the ankle and connecting to the foot, as if drilling down into it. A long metal spike sticks out of the top of each leg beam, and black branches jut out of various areas of the legs.

The middle of the tower is disconnected, with the vines bulging out of it. More oval leaves grow out of it here, pointing in various directions. Eternal Flowers that are either red or blue grow out of the knees and the two halves of the tower, becoming smaller the farther up they grow.

[[File:Wild Zone 20 ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|The ruins of Prism Tower in Wild Zone 20]]

After Hyperrogue Ange Floette is defeated, the tower is left in a dilapidated state, covered in moss and plants. The legs are sunken back into the ground and the two halves of the bud's cage stick out to the sides like moose antlers. The site is declared a [[wild zone]], specifically [[Wild Zone 20]], and is filled with trees.

==Trivia==
* The physical design of Ange heavily resembles that of the [[ultimate weapon]], with both being based on {{p|Floette}}'s Eternal Flower as they were both built by [[AZ]].
* Ange's ability to grant eternal life is reflected by {{p|Xerneas}}, as both have the power to give. This is contrasted by the ultimate weapon and {{p|Yveltal}}, which both have the power to take.
** The blue and red coloration of the Eternal Flowers the player must battle on the ground are reminiscent of Xerneas and Yveltal's respective colors.
* Although it is not an actual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Hyperrogue Ange Floette is technically an object coded to function similarly to a Pokémon. Internally, it is identified as <code>pokemon_last</code>.
* Ange marks the second time in the [[core series]] that an enemy combatant battled by the player's Pokémon is not a Pokémon itself, the first being [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] in {{B2W2}}. It is the sixth time in the series as a whole, after [[Dark Rust]], the [[Bittercold]], the [[Void Shadows]], and [[Dark Matter]] in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].
* Hyperrogue Ange Floette bears a number of similarities to the [[Giant Rock]] featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. Both are artificial constructs that absorb a Pokémon and take on aspects of its physical appearance, are capable of unleashing giant roots and firing powerful lasers, and are both ultimately destroyed by Zygarde.
* Hyperrogue Ange Floette is the only boss that can't be rematched as a [[Quasartico Inc. (building)|simulation]].

'''AZ's Floette''' is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} Floette befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike other {{p|Floette}}, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She plays a major part in the storyline of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==In the core series games==
====Background====
<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette being resurrected by [[AZ]]'s [[Ultimate weapon|machine]]]]
</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

====[[Pokémon X and Y]]====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ holding Floette.png|thumb|right|250px|Floette reuniting with AZ at the parade]]
</div>
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ Floette Z-A.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette's first introduction to the {{player}}]]
</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Zygarde Complete Form Z Strike.png|thumb|right|250px|Zygarde defeating Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]
</div>
The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], taking the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

She is the only known Floette who is capable of Mega Evolving, possibly as a result of being revived by [[Infinity Energy]]. This may also be why she is unable to evolve.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for Eternal Flower Floette in the Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]] games, although she cannot be legitimately obtained in those games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her cry is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base experience yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credits.

===Appearance and Abilities===
Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shaped tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye leaves are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

=====Mega Floette=====
Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

====Hyperrogue Ange Floette====
[[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]] was formed out of [[Prism Tower]] when [[Ange]] became overwhelmed by Floette's [[Mega Power]], fusing with her. Its body is composed of metal trussing threaded through with thick bundles of black vines. An enormous flower bud forms its head and red and blue Eternal Flowers grow out of various points of its body.

==In animation==
[[File:AZ Floette PG.png|thumb|250px|Floette in Pokémon Generations]]
===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returns to AZ.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

</div>
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ Floette Z-A.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette's first introduction to the {{player}}]]
</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Zygarde Complete Form Z Strike.png|thumb|right|250px|Zygarde defeating Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]
</div>
The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], taking the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

She is the only known Floette who is capable of Mega Evolving, possibly as a result of being revived by [[Infinity Energy]]. This may also be why she is unable to evolve.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for Eternal Flower Floette in the Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]] games, although she cannot be legitimately obtained in those games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her cry is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base experience yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credits.

===Appearance and Abilities===
Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shaped tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye leaves are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

=====Mega Floette=====
Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

====Hyperrogue Ange Floette====
Hyperrogue Ange Floette was formed out of [[Prism Tower]] when [[Ange]] became overwhelmed by Floette's [[Mega Power]], fusing with her. Its body is composed of metal trussing, with all of the building's concrete and glass having crumbled away when vines erupted out of it during the transformation. Bundles of thick black vines that resemble electrical cables thread throughout the inside of the hollow metal beams, holding the broken building together.

At the top of the tower is an enormous flower bud inside of a metal cage made out of three rings. The cage ends in closed vertical pincers, giving it the appearance of a snout. The bud has two glowing purple eyes on each side, which are connected by a V-shaped groove that extends towards the tip of the bud. At the base of the bud are faintly visible black leaves resembling scales. Erupting from the top are two branches that have three spikes each, with the spikes on one being blue and the other being red. From the back of the bud hang several long tentacle-like vines, and on the back of the neck is a line of hollow oval-shaped leaves that stick straight out like spikes. Both the bud and the cage can open like a mouth, and at the center of the bud is a smaller crystalline bud which is used as a focal point of Hyperrogue Ange Floette's power when attacking with [[Light of Ruin]].

The bottom of the tower is raised from the ground and is made of two layers of triangular, trussed plates that are curved on the bottom, resembling an upside-down, partially bloomed flower. Above that is a fence of upwards-pointing spikes that go all the way around the base.

The tower's four support pillars become legs, connected to the base by more bundled vines. Each leg has an 'ankle' formed by a metal block, with another metal block acting as the 'foot'. The vines that run through the leg twist when coming out of the ankle and connecting to the foot, as if drilling down into it. A long metal spike sticks out of the top of each leg beam, and black branches jut out of various areas of the legs.

The middle of the tower is disconnected, with the vines bulging out of it. More oval leaves grow out of it here, pointing in various directions. Eternal Flowers that are either red or blue grow out of the knees and the two halves of the tower, becoming smaller the farther up they grow. More of these flowers burst out of the ground to attack the [[player]].

After Hyperrogue Ange Floette is defeated, the tower is left in a dilapidated state, covered in moss and plants. The legs are sunken back into the ground and the two halves of the bud's cage stick out to the sides like moose antlers. The site is declared a [[wild zone]], specifically [[Wild Zone 20]], and is filled with trees.

[[File:AZ Floette PG.png|thumb|250px|Floette in Pokémon Generations]]
===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returns to AZ.

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

2026-02-02T00:13:19Z

SpaceDimentio: Adding back the appearance description. All characters, especially Pokémon, should have detailed descriptions for accessibility reasons. I have trimmed down the descriptions of Eternal Flower Floette on the Floette page for less redundancy. Also added a description of Hyperrogue Ange Floette (which could go either here or on the Ange page), removed the paragraph at the beginning of the game section for redundancy, and made other minor edits.

'''AZ's Floette''' is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} Floette befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike other {{p|Floette}}, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She plays a major part in the storyline of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

</div>
The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], taking the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

She is the only known Floette who is capable of Mega Evolving, possibly as a result of being revived by [[Infinity Energy]]. This may also be why she is unable to evolve.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for Eternal Flower Floette in the Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]] games, although she cannot be legitimately obtained in those games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her cry is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base experience yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]). She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credits.

===Appearance and Abilities===
Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shaped tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye leaves are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

=====Mega Floette=====
Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

====Hyperrogue Ange Floette====
Hyperrogue Ange Floette was formed out of [[Prism Tower]] when [[Ange]] became overwhelmed by Floette's [[Mega Power]], fusing with her. Its body is composed of metal trussing, with all of the building's concrete and glass having crumbled away when vines erupted out of it during the transformation. Bundles of thick black vines that resemble electrical cables thread throughout the inside of the hollow metal beams, holding the broken building together.

At the top of the tower is an enormous flower bud inside of a metal cage made out of three rings. The cage ends in closed vertical pincers, giving it the appearance of a snout. The bud has two glowing purple eyes on each side, which are connected by a V-shaped groove that extends towards the tip of the bud. At the base of the bud are faintly visible black leaves resembling scales. Erupting from the top are two branches that have three spikes each, with the spikes on one being blue and the other being red. From the back of the bud hang several long tentacle-like vines, and on the back of the neck is a line of hollow oval-shaped leaves that stick straight out like spikes. Both the bud and the cage can open like a mouth, and at the center of the bud is a smaller crystalline bud which is used as a focal point of Hyperrogue Ange Floette's power when attacking with [[Light of Ruin]].

The bottom of the tower is raised from the ground and is made of two layers of triangular, trussed plates that are curved on the bottom, resembling an upside-down, partially bloomed flower. Above that is a fence of upwards-pointing spikes that go all the way around the base.

The tower's four support pillars become legs, connected to the base by more bundled vines. Each leg has an 'ankle' formed by a metal block, with another metal block acting as the 'foot'. The vines that run through the leg twist when coming out of the ankle and connecting to the foot, as if drilling down into it. A long metal spike sticks out of the top of each leg beam, and black branches jut out of various areas of the legs.

The middle of the tower is disconnected, with the vines bulging out of it. More oval leaves grow out of it here, pointing in various directions. Eternal Flowers that are either red or blue grow out of the knees and the two halves of the tower, becoming smaller the farther up they grow. More of these flowers burst out of the ground to attack the [[player]].

After Hyperrogue Ange Floette is defeated, the tower is left in a dilapidated state, covered in moss and plants. The legs are sunken back into the ground and the two halves of the bud's cage stick out to the sides like moose antlers. The site is declared a [[wild zone]], specifically [[Wild Zone 20]], and is filled with trees.

[[File:AZ Floette PG.png|thumb|250px|Floette in Pokémon Generations]]
===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returns to AZ.

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

'''Floette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フラエッテ''' ''Floette'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flabébé}} starting at [[level]] 19 and evolves into {{p|Florges}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

Floette has five [[#Form data|forms]], each named for the color of its flower: '''Red Flower''', '''Yellow Flower''', '''Orange Flower''', '''Blue Flower''', and '''White Flower'''. There is also a unique sixth form of Floette named '''Eternal Flower''', which first appeared in {{g|X and Y}} but was not legitimately obtainable until {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Unlike its regular counterpart, it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. Mega Floette was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

[[AZ's Floette|Eternal Flower Floette]] serves as one of the driving forces behind the plot of {{g|X and Y}}. It also plays a major role in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], serving as one of the game's key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Floette Forms TCG.png|thumb|200px|left|Floette's regular forms as seen in the [[Floette (Flashfire 65)|TCG]]]]
Floette is a small, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head, upper torso, arms, and mitten-like hands are white, and its lower body is green, ending in a spade-shaped tail. It has beady eyes, each with a leaf-like, green extension sprouting from the top, resembling a long eyelash. Its ears are long, slightly droopy, and heart-shaped at the end, with a yellow ring around each base. Two thin, black lines run across the top of its head. Floette is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Notably, Floette floats around while holding a flower like a parasol. The flower has a long, light green {{wp|Peduncle (botany)|peduncle}} with a single leaf, three {{wp|stamen}}s with rounded, yellow anthers, and five rounded petals, which can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white, depending on the color of the flower it held as a {{p|Flabébé}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette Floette | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160403204716/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette archived])</ref> Floette can be often found near flowerbeds, tending for the flowers that begun wilting, restoring the health of withered ones, and celebrating new blossomings. It is said to mercilessly attack and never forgive anyone who messes up a flower bed. Floette cannot use [[move]]s by its own; instead, it first needs to synchronize with the flower it holds through wavelengths of visible light, exchanging powers with the flower in order to draw out the power it hides. Thanks to this, it can draw forth the latent capabilities of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in addition to becoming able to use Grass-type moves itself. Floette can more effectively synchronize with a flower if its color matches the one produced by the wavelength it uses, with White Flower Floette being said to easily sync with differently-colored flowers. Additionally, the more gorgeous the flower, the more power that it contains for Floette to use.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Floette and its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Flower Veil}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} as {{Abilities}}.

====Eternal Flower====
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|left|200px|thumb|[[AZ]]'s Floette being resurrected]]
{{main|AZ's Floette}}
There is a sixth, unique form of Floette: Eternal Flower. Differing from regular Floette, it has a blue lower body and eyelashes and red rings surrounding the bases of its ears.

Eternal Flower Floette holds a completely different flower named the Eternal Flower, which no longer blooms anywhere in the world, having gone extinct in ancient times. It has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The Eternal Flower is said to harbor terrifying power, though Floette swings it about innocently.

Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being resurrected and inadvertently granted eternal life by [[AZ]]'s machine, which would soon become the ultimate weapon. She is also intimately related to [[Ange]].

Eternal Flower Floette is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Light of Ruin}}.

====Mega Floette====
Eternal Flower Floette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Floette.

As a result of Mega Evolution, the Eternal Flower has doubled in size and its anatomy has become more complex: it no longer has sepals, and the petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. The stem is more braided in appearance and wraps itself around Mega Floette's lower body.

AZ's Floette is the only one of her kind capable of Mega Evolving. According to AZ, Mega Floette is the only one who can control Ange and, by harnessing its power, assist it in assuming its true form: Ange Floette.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"Once Floette has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], she can take on the power of the tower—the power of [[Ange]]. Then the tower can assume the form it was always intended to take: Ange Floette."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> However, she lost control of the device due to an excess of [[Mega Power]], resulting in Ange entering a state similar to [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], named {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}.

{{main|AZ's Floette}}
* {{g|X and Y}}: Eternal Flower Floette is an important character in the games. 3,000 years prior, [[AZ]]'s Floette died during a great war in [[Kalos]]. Overcome by grief, he created a [[Ultimate weapon|machine]] that resurrected Floette, inadvertently making both of them immortal in the process. Upon learning that the machine was fueled by the lives of many other Pokémon, she left him. Only after AZ was finally able to let go of his sorrow, 3,000 years later, did Floette return to him.
** Eternal Flower Floette returns in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} as a major character. With the threat of [[Ange]] entering a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved state]], the {{player}} and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] climb the ranks of the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to be recognized as the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user, capable of unleashing the true power of Mega Floette.

===Form data===
Floette has five separate forms, each with one of five different flower colors: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower. The flower color is maintained through [[Evolution]] from {{p|Flabébé}} and into {{p|Florges}}, and cannot be changed.

In certain games, certain forms can only be obtained by evolving the correct Flabébé:
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Orange and White Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving an Orange and White Flower Flabébé, respectively. The other forms appear in the wild, but only as options in specific [[Friend Safari]]s. Additionally, this means that Orange and White Flower Flabébé, Floette, and Florges cannot legally have their [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Symbiosis}}, in [[Generation VI]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Yellow Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving a Yellow Flower Flabébé. The other forms appear in the wild, with Orange and White Flower Floette only appearing as allies during [[SOS Battle]]s. Blue Flower Floette is the only one to not appear as an ally during battle, meaning it is the only one that cannot be caught with its Hidden Ability, Symbiosis, in [[Generation VII]].

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, only Red Flower Floette is available.

;Eternal Flower Floette
Floette has a sixth form called Eternal Flower. Despite being present in the data in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, it was unobtainable until [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. This form does not exist at all in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Unlike Floette's other forms, Eternal Flower Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Eternal Flower Floette is the only form of Floette that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

[[AZ]]'s Floette appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]''. She was initially seen in a flashback of the great war of Kalos, being sent into battle and eventually dying, leading AZ to create the [[ultimate weapon]] with which to revive her. It worked, but after using the weapon to destroy both sides of the army and bring the war to an end, Floette realized how many lives were taken for hers, and left him. She finally returned to him after AZ's battle with {{ga|Calem}} in [[Lumiose City]].

===Origin===
Floette appears to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|nymph}}s, such as {{wp|Chloris (nymph)|Chloris}} and {{wp|Antheia}}, and how fairies are sometimes depicted flying by holding on to the stems of plants. Its flower is held like a {{wp|parasol}}.

The flower of Eternal Flower Floette resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or a {{wp|Trillium}}, especially the {{wp|Trillium erectum|red trillium}}. Because of her connection to death and resurrection in the story of [[Pokémon X and Y]], she may also be inspired by the {{wp|Lycoris radiata|red spider lily}}, also known as resurrection lily, which, particularly in Japanese culture, symbolizes death. Eternal Flower Floette's blue, red, and white body matches the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}.

The shape of Mega Floette's flower resembles a {{wp|triquetra}}, a symbol commonly associated with Celtic and Nordic culture.

====Name origin====
Floette may be a combination of ''flower'' and ''floret'', as well as the French {{wp|diminutive}} suffix ''-ette''.

'''Floette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フラエッテ''' ''Floette'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flabébé}} starting at [[level]] 19 and evolves into {{p|Florges}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

Floette has five [[#Form data|forms]], each named for the color of its flower: '''Red Flower''', '''Yellow Flower''', '''Orange Flower''', '''Blue Flower''', and '''White Flower'''. There is also a unique sixth form of Floette named '''Eternal Flower''', which first appeared in {{g|X and Y}} but was not legitimately obtainable until {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Unlike its regular counterpart, it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. Mega Floette was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

[[AZ's Floette|Eternal Flower Floette]] serves as one of the driving forces behind the plot of {{g|X and Y}}. It also plays a major role in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], serving as one of the game's key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Floette Forms TCG.png|thumb|200px|left|Floette's regular forms as seen in the [[Floette (Flashfire 65)|TCG]]]]
Floette is a small, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head, upper torso, arms, and mitten-like hands are white, and its lower body is green, ending in a spade-shaped tail. It has beady eyes, each with a leaf-like, green extension sprouting from the top, resembling a long eyelash. Its ears are long, slightly droopy, and heart-shaped at the end, with a yellow ring around each base. Two thin, black lines run across the top of its head. Floette is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Notably, Floette floats around while holding a flower like a parasol. The flower has a long, light green {{wp|Peduncle (botany)|peduncle}} with a single leaf, three {{wp|stamen}}s with rounded, yellow anthers, and five rounded petals, which can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white, depending on the color of the flower it held as a {{p|Flabébé}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette Floette | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160403204716/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette archived])</ref> Floette can be often found near flowerbeds, tending for the flowers that begun wilting, restoring the health of withered ones, and celebrating new blossomings. It is said to mercilessly attack and never forgive anyone who messes up a flower bed. Floette cannot use [[move]]s by its own; instead, it first needs to synchronize with the flower it holds through wavelengths of visible light, exchanging powers with the flower in order to draw out the power it hides. Thanks to this, it can draw forth the latent capabilities of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in addition to becoming able to use Grass-type moves itself. Floette can more effectively synchronize with a flower if its color matches the one produced by the wavelength it uses, with White Flower Floette being said to easily sync with differently-colored flowers. Additionally, the more gorgeous the flower, the more power that it contains for Floette to use.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Floette and its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Flower Veil}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} as {{Abilities}}.

====Eternal Flower====
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|left|200px|thumb|[[AZ]]'s Floette being resurrected]]
{{main|AZ's Floette}}
There is a sixth, unique form of Floette: Eternal Flower. Differing from regular Floette, it has a blue lower body and eyelashes and red rings surrounding the bases of its ears.

Eternal Flower Floette holds a completely different flower named the Eternal Flower, which no longer blooms anywhere in the world, having gone extinct in ancient times. It has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil, and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]]. The Eternal Flower is said to harbor terrifying power, though Floette swings it about innocently. Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being resurrected and inadvertently granted eternal life by [[AZ]]'s machine, which would soon become the ultimate weapon; possibly due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]].<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> It is also intimately related to [[Ange]].

Eternal Flower Floette is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Light of Ruin}}.
{{left clear}}

====Mega Floette====
Eternal Flower Floette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Floette.

As a result of Mega Evolution, the Eternal Flower has doubled in size and its anatomy has become more complex: it no longer has sepals, and the petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. The stem is more braided in appearance and wraps itself around Mega Floette's lower body.

AZ's Floette is the only one of her kind capable of Mega Evolving. According to AZ, Mega Floette is the only one who can control Ange and, by harnessing its power, assist it in assuming its true form: Ange Floette.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"Once Floette has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], she can take on the power of the tower—the power of [[Ange]]. Then the tower can assume the form it was always intended to take: Ange Floette."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> However, she lost control of the device due to an excess of [[Mega Power]], resulting in Ange entering a state similar to [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], named {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}.

{{main|AZ's Floette}}
* {{g|X and Y}}: Eternal Flower Floette is an important character in the games. 3,000 years prior, [[AZ]]'s Floette died during a great war in [[Kalos]]. Overcome by grief, he created a [[Ultimate weapon|machine]] that resurrected Floette, inadvertently making both of them immortal in the process. Upon learning that the machine was fueled by the lives of many other Pokémon, she left him. Only after AZ was finally able to let go of his sorrow, 3,000 years later, did Floette return to him.
** Eternal Flower Floette returns in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} as a major character. With the threat of [[Ange]] entering a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved state]], the {{player}} and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] climb the ranks of the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to be recognized as the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user, capable of unleashing the true power of Mega Floette.

===Form data===
Floette has five separate forms, each with one of five different flower colors: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower. The flower color is maintained through [[Evolution]] from {{p|Flabébé}} and into {{p|Florges}}, and cannot be changed.

In certain games, certain forms can only be obtained by evolving the correct Flabébé:
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Orange and White Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving an Orange and White Flower Flabébé, respectively. The other forms appear in the wild, but only as options in specific [[Friend Safari]]s. Additionally, this means that Orange and White Flower Flabébé, Floette, and Florges cannot legally have their [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Symbiosis}}, in [[Generation VI]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Yellow Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving a Yellow Flower Flabébé. The other forms appear in the wild, with Orange and White Flower Floette only appearing as allies during [[SOS Battle]]s. Blue Flower Floette is the only one to not appear as an ally during battle, meaning it is the only one that cannot be caught with its Hidden Ability, Symbiosis, in [[Generation VII]].

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, only Red Flower Floette is available.

;Eternal Flower Floette
Floette has a sixth form called Eternal Flower. Despite being present in the data in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, it was unobtainable until [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. This form does not exist at all in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Unlike Floette's other forms, Eternal Flower Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Eternal Flower Floette is the only form of Floette that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

[[AZ]]'s Floette appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]''. She was initially seen in a flashback of the great war of Kalos, being sent into battle and eventually dying, leading AZ to create the [[ultimate weapon]] with which to revive her. It worked, but after using the weapon to destroy both sides of the army and bring the war to an end, Floette realized how many lives were taken for hers, and left him. She finally returned to him after AZ's battle with {{ga|Calem}} in [[Lumiose City]].

===Origin===
Floette appears to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|nymph}}s, such as {{wp|Chloris (nymph)|Chloris}} and {{wp|Antheia}}, and how fairies are sometimes depicted flying by holding on to the stems of plants. Its flower is held like a {{wp|parasol}}.

The flower of Eternal Flower Floette resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or a {{wp|Trillium}}, especially the {{wp|Trillium erectum|red trillium}}. Because of her connection to death and resurrection in the story of [[Pokémon X and Y]], she may also be inspired by the {{wp|Lycoris radiata|red spider lily}}, also known as resurrection lily, which, particularly in Japanese culture, symbolizes death. Eternal Flower Floette's blue, red, and white body matches the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}.

The shape of Mega Floette's flower resembles a {{wp|triquetra}}, a symbol commonly associated with Celtic and Nordic culture.

====Name origin====
Floette may be a combination of ''flower'' and ''floret'', as well as the French {{wp|diminutive}} suffix ''-ette''.

'''AZ's Floette''' is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} Floette befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike other {{p|Floette}}, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She plays a major part in the storyline of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==In the core series games==
Eternal Flower Floette cannot be legitimately obtained in games from [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} to {{gen|VIII}}, although usable game data exists which can be hacked into Generation VI and {{gen|VII}} games. Her base stats are higher than a regular Floette's, she has her own unique cry, and can use the [[signature move]] {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which is otherwise unused. She cannot evolve or breed and is unaffected by [[Eviolite]].

===History===
====Background====
<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette being resurrected by [[AZ]]'s [[Ultimate weapon|machine]]]]
</div>
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

====[[Pokémon X and Y]]====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ holding Floette.png|thumb|right|250px|Floette reuniting with AZ at the parade]]
</div>
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.
{{left clear}}

====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ Floette Z-A.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette's first introduction to the {{player}}]]
</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer that can Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests for the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by {{ga|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Hyperrogue Ange Floette.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Ange#Hyperrogue Ange Floette|Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]]]
</div>
Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and goes with Urbain/Taunie to Ange's control room where she Mega Evolves in order to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] attack, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbain/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]] in the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ being consumed by hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cared about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Pokémon]].

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for the Eternal Flower Floette in the Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]] games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Unlike a regular Floette however, she cannot evolve or breed (and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]). She is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50. Her cry is different from a regular Floette. She also has a base experience yield of 243.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained through defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in an Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, after the credit roll.

[[File:AZ Floette PG.png|thumb|250px|Floette in Pokémon Generations]]
===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in the final [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created the [[Ultimate weapon]] to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the Ultimate weapon into a weapon of destruction and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

3,000 years later in ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After this, Floette returned to AZ.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's cry is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

'''{{p|Arceus}}''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus''), also known as '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウさま''' ''Shin'ou-sama''), is a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It is the one who brings the {{player}} from the present day to the [[Hisui]] [[region]], and also serves as the final boss of the game. Arceus is simply the name that [[human]]s call it.

It is said to have created the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], the {{pkmn|world}}, and possibly even the entire {{Pkmn|universe}}.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
In the past, Arceus created the [[Hisui]] [[region]] (starting by [[Mount Coronet]]), the {{pkmn|world}}, and the entire {{pkmn|universe}}, along with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. At some point later, it banished {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]] for its violence. It was worshiped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being known as the "almighty Sinnoh".

After the [[ancient hero]] of legend and his ten Pokémon companions successfully faced it in battle, Arceus gave its blessings to the hero's companions,<ref>[[Mai]]: ''"The Pokémon that graces [[Deertrack Heights]] is one of those honored few. It is directly descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh’s protection."'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> which they used to protect the people and Pokémon of Hisui.<ref>[[Irida]]: ''"The ancestors of Kleavor, Wyrdeer, and their cohort drew on almighty Sinnoh’s own power to protect Pokémon and people alike—so it’s said. It’s by their grace that our clan—that any of us— still lives in vast Hisui today!"'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> These Pokémon's descendants would become the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}. Afterwards, Arceus returned to the [[Hall of Origin]], and its [[Plate]]s were scattered across Hisui.

Following the disappearance of the Celestica people from Hisui, a new group of settlers arrived from across the sea, who adopted the Celesticas' name as their own. They would later become the rivaling [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]], who believed almighty Sinnoh to be either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, respectively. The two clans came to believe that their counterparts worshiped a false god and went to war against each other, with the conflict only ending after both sides became too weak to continue fighting.

===={{g|Legends: Arceus}}====
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus meets {{ga|Rei}}.]]
At the start of the game, Arceus calls out to {{Ga|Rei}}/{{Ga|Akari}}, from within a realm located outside both space and time. This realm is completely absent of anything other than golden rays of light. Arceus asks the player's appearance and name, and after they have done so, it will introduce the setting of the game, much like the opening intros made by professors from other titles. It then tells them that they should seek out all Pokémon, and they will be able to find Arceus again.

Rei/Akari is then seen falling through empty space and loses their smartphone. Suddenly, Arceus, as a glowing white silhouette, appears before the player and transforms their smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. Rei/Akari is later found unconscious on {{DL|Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach}} by [[Professor Laventon]], having been [[Time travel|sent back in time]] by Arceus. Rei/Akari notices the Arc Phone on the ground nearby, and upon inspecting it, reads a message from Arceus: "Seek out all Pokémon." The Arc Phone will beep during certain points of the game, such as opening the caves to each of Hisui's three lakes, as a way for Arceus to help guide the player.

After Rei/Akari has obtained all eighteen [[Plate]]s, Arceus will transform the player's [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. Upon playing it, if they hasn't caught all Pokémon, they will be disappointed to see that nothing has happened. The Arc Phone then begins to beep, with Arceus again prompting Rei/Akari to "Seek out all Pokémon."

Once Rei/Akari has obtained at least one of every Pokémon in Hisui (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), the player can return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute once more. This time, a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]]. Rei/Akari enters the area, seeing a large empty space. Arceus then appears and challenges the Rei/Akari to a battle. The Arc Phone becomes an infinite supply of [[Mysterious Balm]]s. Like with the frenzied noble Pokémon, the player must hit Arceus with balms until the gauge fully depletes.

Once Rei/Akari defeats Arceus, it will congratulate the player for successfully seeking out all Pokémon. Wishing to join the player on their journey, it will then grant them a part of itself {{p|Arceus|as a Pokémon}} that they can use in their [[party]], as well as giving them the [[Legend Plate]].

Later, when Rei/Akari returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, the Arc Phone will beep. Arceus will allow the player to have a rematch with {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} (regardless of which one they originally faced) or Arceus itself.

After Rei/Akari completes the Daybreak storyline and catching Arceus, it will call for the player's Arc Phone, requesting them to sleep in their home. In their dream, Arceus will reveal the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]] option for the player to test their skills and luck in a series of endless battles. The challenge ends when they either lose or quit, and Arceus will leave behind various rewards based on the player's performance.

In all battles against Arceus, it will have the Legend Plate active, allowing it to change its type whenever it uses {{m|Judgment}}. During its first battle, it will have zero [[effort level]]s. In all other subsequent matches, it will have the full ten effort levels in all stats.

====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]====
{{Ga|Lucas}}/{{Ga|Dawn}} playing the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]], where they'll encounter Arceus and will be able to battle and catch it.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{main|Arceus (Pokémon)}}
Arceus is a Pokémon who was worshipped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being seen as a deity for having created the world. It is a powerful but elusive being, only showing itself to certain people. It has been known to become distrustful of certain entities, having banished {{p|Giratina}} for acts of violence. It can [[Talking Pokémon|speak and understand human speech]]; in English versions of the [[core series]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it speaks in {{wp|Early Modern English}}.

It often resides in its own [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|realm]] that goes beyond space and time, and can bring people to and from that location. Otherwise, if summoned at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]/[[Spear Pillar]], it will create a staircase to the [[Hall of Origin]] where it can be met. Beyond this, it can transform objects, for example turning the [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] and a regular {{wp|smartphone}} into the [[Arc Phone]].

===Appearance===
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|List of Pokémon with form differences → Arceus]]''
Arceus has the ability to change [[type]] using its {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]], changing the colors on its hooves, rings, and face to reflect the new type it takes. At the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus glows with several golden halos around its body, so brightly that its features are obscured, only showing its eyes and a rough outline of its form.

;[[Hall of Origin]]
If the player gets too far from Arceus, it'll teleport close to the player and immediately explode.

Arceus has two attack sequences. This is indicated by whether it is glowing blue or red.
* Arceus glows blue in the first sequence.
** First, it will be sending a shock wave blasting outward from itself; simultaneously, a {{m|Draco Meteor|meteor}} will be regularly targeted at the player. This happens six times in a row.
** After a series of these attacks, it will aim six successive {{m|Judgment}} beams at the player.
** Then it will resume a few more series of shock waves and meteors.
** Next, it will form several energy orbs around itself, signaling {{m|Roar of Time|an undodgable blue roar-like attack}}; and at the same time, it will be sending out slower-moving shockwaves. The player can cancel this attack by hitting Arceus with balms, eventually stunning it. Once it is stunned, the player can send out a Pokémon to battle.
* Arceus glows red in the second sequence. It will start this sequence once 25% of its gauge has been depleted, and it will return to the first sequence after its gauge is depleted by 50%.
** First, it will teleport to a far side of the arena and begin charging an attack: the entire stage will start glowing red, except an area around Arceus, and will eventually detonate.
** Next, it {{m|Shadow Force|will disappear completely; and a few seconds later, a crack in space will appear}}, and then quickly emerge from it to charge at the player in a straight line.
** It will then fire six Judgment beams, like in the first phase.
** It will then begin to initiate another special attack, {{m|Spacial Rend|an undodgable pink rending-like attack}} which the player can cancel by hitting it with balms. After this, it will become stunned, and the player can send out a Pokémon to battle. 
Arceus will only transition to the next phase once its current attack within the sequence is finished, or after it's done being stunned. Because of this, it's very common to see Arceus transition back to the first phase at ~75% depletion.

While Arceus does not appear physically, it plays a major role in the [[Arceus Arc]] of the Main Story. It is first seen speaking to {{mas|Rei}} during [[The Echo of a Deity's Voice]] in a similar manner to the [[player character]] at the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Later, while [[Professor Bellis]] is presenting her research on [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus speaks to everyone at the stadium, saying "Show me thy bond". {{mas|Volo}} convinces [[Lear]] to hold a tournament for [[sync pair]]s to show Arceus their bonds, which Lear calls the Arceus Cup.

According to a conversation with {{mas|N}} and {{mas|Iris}}, {{mas|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Giratina}} refuses to talk about Arceus, suggesting a similar grudge that other Giratina have with Arceus.

'''{{p|Arceus}}''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus''), also known as '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウさま''' ''Shin'ou-sama''), is a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It is the one who brings the {{player}} from the present day to the [[Hisui]] [[region]], and also serves as the final boss of the game. Arceus is simply the name that [[human]]s call it.

It is said to have created the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], the {{pkmn|world}}, and possibly even the entire {{Pkmn|universe}}.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
In the past, Arceus created the [[Hisui]] [[region]] (starting by [[Mount Coronet]]), the {{pkmn|world}}, and the entire {{pkmn|universe}}, along with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. At some point later, it banished {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]] for its violence. It was worshiped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being known as the "almighty Sinnoh".

After the [[ancient hero]] of legend and his ten Pokémon companions successfully faced it in battle, Arceus gave its blessings to the hero's companions,<ref>[[Mai]]: ''"The Pokémon that graces [[Deertrack Heights]] is one of those honored few. It is directly descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh’s protection."'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> which they used to protect the people and Pokémon of Hisui.<ref>[[Irida]]: ''"The ancestors of Kleavor, Wyrdeer, and their cohort drew on almighty Sinnoh’s own power to protect Pokémon and people alike—so it’s said. It’s by their grace that our clan—that any of us— still lives in vast Hisui today!"'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> These Pokémon's descendants would become the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}. Afterwards, Arceus returned to the [[Hall of Origin]], and its [[Plate]]s were scattered across Hisui.

Following the disappearance of the Celestica people from Hisui, a new group of settlers arrived from across the sea, who adopted the Celesticas' name as their own. They would later become the rivaling [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]], who believed almighty Sinnoh to be either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, respectively. The two clans came to believe that their counterparts worshiped a false god and went to war against each other, with the conflict only ending after both sides became too weak to continue fighting.

While Arceus does not appear physically, it plays a major role in the [[Arceus Arc]] of the Main Story. It is first seen speaking to {{mas|Rei}} during [[The Echo of a Deity's Voice]] in a similar manner to the [[player character]] at the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Later, while [[Professor Bellis]] is presenting her research on [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus speaks to everyone at the stadium, saying "Show me thy bond". {{mas|Volo}} convinces [[Lear]] to hold a tournament for [[sync pair]]s to show Arceus their bonds, which Lear calls the Arceus Cup. During the Arceus Cup, Arceus grants [[arc suit]]s to sync pairs who demonstrate an especially deep bond with their partner Pokémon, with {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven}}, and {{mas|Lance}} being the first recipients.

According to a conversation with {{mas|N}} and {{mas|Iris}}, {{mas|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Giratina}} refuses to talk about Arceus, suggesting a similar grudge that other Giratina have with Arceus.

Aura

SpaceDimentio: /* Description */ pronoun mismatch

{{samename|form of energy used to produce [[Z-Move]]s also referred to as "aura"|Z-Power}}
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy described as the essence of every living thing. The concept was first introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

==Description==
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through his [[Key Stone]]]]
While aura is normally depicted as blue, in {{aniseries|HZ}}, certain Pokémon are shown to have differently colored auras, those being [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}}, which is purple, [[Roy]]'s {{Tp|Roy|Crocalor}}, which is red, and Roy's {{Shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, which is yellow.

Aura users have the ability to use telepathy and read the minds and actions of another being. They can sense other people's aura and track that of a specific person as long as a piece of it can be detected. Aura can be used to view one's surroundings even with their vision obscured, such as with a blindfold, as well as seeing through objects and those who are invisible. Aura can be projected in the form of attacks, most notably {{m|Aura Sphere}}, and used to create barriers. It can also be transferred to others, though this can be fatal to the user. Aura users can see and speak to [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghosts]] and allow them to interact with things in the physical world. Aura is also required to activate [[time flower]]s. A seasoned aura user can even protect themselves and those around them from mind control.

When in sync with their {{pkmn|Trainer}} and by invoking the bonds with its friends, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can use its aura to supercharge an Aura Sphere and cause it to grow gigantic, making it rival even [[Max Move]]s in power. When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away, as well as create a telepathic vision in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's aura from far away.

===''[[Pokémon the Series]]''===
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|250px|Lucario using aura in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s who could sense aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. As featured in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', one famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]] of [[Rota]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and [[Ash Ketchum]], though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario save the Tree of Beginning and resealing {{p|Spiritomb}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using aura to contain an explosion]]
In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and his friends heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', Ash and his friends meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', the [[Pokédex entry]] of {{p|Medicham}} revealed that it has the capability to read aura.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Lucario using its aura vision]]
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated by [[Ash's Lucario|Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and [[Goh]]'s room in search of the aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.

[[File:Ash Greninja aura.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Greninja]] using its aura]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Lucario had its aura power enhanced when Ash received a [[Key Stone]], which {{an|Korrina}} attributed to their already strong bond. Using its new power, it was able to sense a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]]. When Ash and Lucario were separated after arriving on the island, it used its aura to locate the Lucarionite and telepathically guided Ash to its exact location. Ash's aura powers were also enhanced through the Key Stone, which helped him sense his Lucario from great distances.

[[File:Ash Aura M20.png|thumb|left|left|250px|[[Ash Ketchum (M20)|Ash]] using his Aura in ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]'']]
In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}. Greninja later demonstrated this aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own aura. After training with Greninja, Lucario and Ash were able to sync up more than before, allowing Lucario to create a giant Aura Sphere. In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' and ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', Lucario used this newfound synchronicity to draw power from the aura of its allies and make its Aura Sphere grow even bigger than before.

In ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]'', set in a separate continuity from the rest of {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|Ash]] was able to see and speak to {{OBP|Sunny|JNS05}}, a boy who had passed away due to an illness, because of his aura. Ash later used his aura to allow Sunny to touch [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|Pikachu]], fulfilling his wish to touch a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and allowing him to pass on.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his Shiny Lucario connecting through aura in ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'']]
In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 2]]'', it was revealed that [[Roy]] and his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} can connect their aura.

In [[HZ114]], during a {{pkmn|battle}} against Lucario, [[Ult]] and {{p|Sableye}}'s aura connected, allowing Sableye to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time. Afterwards, Roy and {{Tp|Roy|Crocalor}}'s aura connected, allowing them to gain the upper hand against the Yellow Blast. As the battle intensified, Lucario's yellow aura suddenly started connecting to Roy's, causing it to Mega Evolve. It later joined Roy's team after its defeat.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Aura Sphere VIII.png|thumb|250px|Lucario using Aura Sphere]]
[[File:Spr Pt Riley.png|left|frame|Riley's sprite in Pokémon Platinum]]
The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. While {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} and {{me|Absol}} are both described as having a sinister aura around themselves, only the entries for {{p|Umbreon}}, who absorbs aura from the moon, along with Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} make use of aura. [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on its body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Lucario Mega Lucario| Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Lucario archived])</ref> Mega Lucario Z has more versatility with its aura, such as extending it into a thin shield, focusing it in certain parts of its body to boost its attacks,<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> or completely cloaking itself in aura to parry all sorts of attacks.

[[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use aura. In {{v2|Platinum}}, his hand lights up with a blue glow in his opponent animation. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, his hair and hat will shake in his idle animation, similar to Lucario's aura-sensing appendages. The {{p|Riolu}} {{pkmn|Egg}} he gives the {{player}} is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the player's aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} feels a bond with them, which leads her to give that Lucario to the player.

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]].

== In the side series games ==
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

== In the spin-off games ==
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Riley}}'s profile directly states that he can use aura.

The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Lucario Final Smash SSBB.png|frame|Lucario using Aura Storm in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|aura}} and become more powerful the more damage it takes.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a {{sbw|Smash Ball}}, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Lucario used its aura to see {{sbw|Snake}} hiding in his box.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash maximizes its aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the auras of others. However, because aura is similar to sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

Known users of aura include [[Riley]] and his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}}. Riley and Lucario had their aura abilities blocked by two {{tc|Roughneck}}s who were attacking [[Iron Island]] and commanded their {{p|Mothim}} to use {{m|Air Slash}}, cutting up the airspace around it. This prevented the two from tracking their aura, along with blinding their eyes with {{p|Vespiquen}} honey. Once {{adv|Diamond}} defeated the Mothim, thus causing the aura to be visible again, Riley and Lucario unleashed their wrath upon them.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] is also able to use aura, preventing [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} from mind controlling those around it.

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
[[File:Aura P7.png|thumb|200px|Lily using Aura]]
Aura is first revealed in ''[[P7-05|Escape From Team Galactic]]'' as a form of energy that all humans and Pokémon emit. While Pokémon like [[Hiori's Lucario]] can naturally sense it, there are certain cases when a human can sense it as well. One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]] at a young age in order to use her power for their own selfish goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

==Origin==
In paranormal theory, an {{wp|Aura (paranormal)|aura}} is a field of light said to surround living beings, the color of which is determined by the particular person's disposition. It is often used in artwork to cause objects or people of high importance to stand out. Aura could also be based on the Chinese concept of ''{{wp|qi}}'', which often refers to the life-force existing in all living things.

==Blurb==

Ash has returned to Pallet Town to find a reunion of friends! May stops by Ash's house but Ash has left for Professor Oak's lab, where Max, Misty, and Tracey are getting to know a trio of Kanto starter Pokémon. Max upsets the Squirtle, which goes running to May just as she arrives with Ash's mother. May wants to know what Max is doing there when he should be at home—it seems he's a guest of Professor Birch, who enters with Professor Oak and Ash in tow.

As everyone takes this opportunity to discuss their plans for the future and meet Ash's other Pokémon, Team Rocket shows up to ruin the fun with their new Sucker for Punishment, a giant vacuuming robot! Ash calls on his old pal Snorlax to knock Team Rocket down a notch, and with the help of May, Misty, Tracey, Team Rocket's plan to nab Pikachu is foiled once again.

With that excitement over, Ash prepares to depart for the Battle Factory. Glalie and Torkoal will stay behind, but Phanpy wants to tag along for the trip. As for May, her Beautifly and Skitty are living the good life at home, but her new friend Squirtle makes a perfect addition to her team. Misty will travel with her friends on her way home too, and they just can't leave without Brock, who catches up to them as they're leaving Pallet Town! Together again, our intrepid group of Trainers sets off in search of another adventure.

==Plot==
In {{Ash}}'s house in [[Pallet Town]], [[Mimey]], {{Delia}}'s {{p|Mr. Mime}}, is sweeping while Delia herself ponders her son's return. She washes the dishes and decides what she will cook for dinner that evening. A ring at the doorbell snaps her from her thinking, and Mimey answers the door to find {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|May|Combusken}}, and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} smiling happily. Mimey is shocked to find three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on their doorstep, and Delia comes out of the kitchen wondering who it could possibly be. Just as she does so, {{an|May}} pops her head around the door and greets her.

Over at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], {{an|Misty}}, [[Max]], and {{Tracey}} are examining the three [[first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, which will be soon handed out to a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] so they can begin their journey. Max comments that they are cute, and attempts to stroke the young Squirtle, causing the Pokémon to start crying in fear. Max apologizes, and the Squirtle pouts and goes back to eating its food. Meanwhile, Tracey has been busy drawing a picture of the three Pokémon, which Max is very impressed by. Tracey tells him how Professor Oak also sketched Pokémon in his youth. Max goes on to say how Tracey must be a great [[Pokémon Watcher]] to be Professor Oak's [[Professor's assistant|assistant]], and wonders what it would be like to watch Pokémon and sketch them like Tracey does. All this talking has apparently bored and tired out the three young Pokémon, and Misty suggests that they should take a rest in their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, and Tracey agrees. Just as he is about to take the Poké Balls to do so, Max asks if he can be the one to call them back to their Balls. Tracey doesn't see why not, and Max proceeds to call Bulbasaur and Charmander back into their Balls. However, the young Squirtle suddenly becomes frightened by the disappearance of his friends. When Max tries to call it back too, it runs off crying. After being chased by Max around the lab, the crying Squirtle jumps into the arms of May who has just come up the stairs to meet them, along with Delia. Max is shocked to see his sister, who scolds him and says that he needs to be gentler with Pokémon.

Just then, Ash, Professor Oak, and [[Professor Birch]] appear; and Birch greets May. May is confused as to why Professor Birch is here, and Max explains that the Professor brought him here. May apologizes if her brother has caused him any trouble, but Birch relies that it was his pleasure before [[Ash's Muk]] shows up and gives him a slimy hug. Ash tells Muk to get off of Professor Birch, but Muk shakes its head. Professor Oak smiles, knowing all too well what Birch is going through.

Downstairs, the group has some afternoon tea as May asks Ash about the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Ash explains that it is a challenge that is set across [[Kanto]], with several different [[Frontier Brain]]s to battle against, each one giving over a [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]] if you beat them, much like [[Gym Leader]]s hand out [[Badge]]s when defeated. May says that it sounds amazing, and Ash becomes excited at the challenges ahead. Delia tells Ash that May revealed to her that she is planning to enter [[Pokémon Contest]]s in Kanto, to which Professor Birch comments that Kanto has a lot of rare Pokémon which cannot be found in Hoenn, and May becomes excited at the prospect of competing in Pokémon Contests with rare Pokémon. Ash asks if May wants to come along with him, and she agrees. However, Ash mentions that they will be leaving tomorrow, which shocks Delia at first before she remembers that her son has always been like this.

Outside Oak's lab, {{TRT}} is skulking about in the bushes, planning on breaking into Oak's lab to steal the Pokémon inside, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Back inside, Oak asks Delia if she's worried about Ash leaving again on another journey so soon after coming back. She isn't, however, as she knows that that is what he must do as a Trainer and that she'll do whatever she can to support him when he comes back home.

In Oak's fields, Ash, May, and Max decide to go meet and greet the rest of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} from his previous adventures. May and Max are amazed when they see [[Ash's Snorlax]], who wakes up and waves at its Trainer happily. Suddenly May remembers her Pokémon, and calls them out to say hello to Snorlax. Ash asks where {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}} are, and May tells him that she left them in [[Petalburg City]]. Beautifly is with [[Caroline|her mother]], while Skitty settled into Norman's greenhouse and was more than happy just to stay there. The conversation is cut short, however, as the group hear a loud rumbling sound behind them, which turns out to be Ash's Pokémon running up to greet their Trainer after a long time of not seeing him. Stampeding towards them are the various {{AP|Tauros}}, along with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, {{AP|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Kingler}}, and {{AP|Phanpy}}. The Tauros don't stop however, and are so pleased to see Ash that he is swept away by the stampede on one of the Tauros' back. Bayleef looks distraught at this, while Pikachu greets Phanpy with some electric shocks and the two Bulbasaur shake vines. Bayleef runs after Ash, who is still on the back of one of his Tauros, but cannot catch up to them until Tracey and Misty appear and Tracey uses his {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} to push them back, allowing Bayleef to save Ash with her {{m|Vine Whip}}.

Ash thanks Bayleef while the {{type|Grass}} Pokémon snuggles up to him. Misty and Tracey run up with the three first partner Pokémon, and Misty asks Ash if he is all right. Ash says that he is, but is also a little surprised at how strong his Tauros are. Misty tells him that Pokémon take after their Trainers, and teases him about knowing a certain Trainer that has been running wild.

Max and May come running with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, and Squirtle once again jumps into May's arms. Ash introduces his new Pokémon to his old ones. After he calls them all out, Max is amazed at how many Pokémon Ash has. {{AP|Corphish}} and Kingler shake claws, Totodile dances with {{AP|Glalie}}, Cyndaquil greets {{AP|Torkoal}}, Noctowl greets {{AP|Swellow}}, Pikachu plays with Phanpy, and {{AP|Grovyle}} and Heracross shake hands.

As the group talks amongst themselves, [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} emerge from the bushes in which they were hiding, posing as presenters from "Pokémon Sunday" with Wobbuffet acting as cameraman. Jessie says that they are here to interview Ash after his amazing performance in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], and Ash blushes. Just as Wobbuffet is about to scream its name, James leaps over and covers its mouth and Meowth nervously suggests that they get a shot of everybody and their Pokémon. Max becomes excited at the thought of being on television, while May checks her hair and Misty blushes at the thought of being on television.

As the group and their Pokémon all line up, James asks them if they wouldn't mind stepping back to get into shot. The group does so, but end up falling into one of Team Rocket's pitfalls. Noctowl and Swellow try to fly up, but Team Rocket cover the hole with a net, preventing them from escaping. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack does nothing against the shock-proof net. Misty wonders what is going on, prompting Team Rocket to recite their new {{motto}}. When they finish, Misty asks why they are still following them around even after all this time. Jessie gets angry that they didn't acknowledge Team Rocket's new motto, but before she can do anything, Ash orders Grovyle to slice through the net covering the hole with its {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Grovyle does so, and Noctowl and Swellow fly out.

Jessie, frustrated that they were able to escape, angrily asks Meowth why they were able to get out of the net. Meowth meekly explains that he thought that a Pikachu-proof net would be enough, not factoring in the other Pokémon. Just as Ash and the rest of the group manage to crawl out of the pitfall, James tells Meowth that it's time to go to Plan B, and Meowth presses a button on a remote, causing the ground to start shaking. When the dust clears, a huge purple robot with air suction arms stands over the group, while Team Rocket laugh inside. They turn on the robot's suction arms, generating a vacuum that nearly gets Totodile and Charmander before Ash's Bulbasaur pulls them back with Vine Whip, impressing May's Bulbasaur. As Team Rocket continue to pull them in, Squirtle cries in May's arms as she attempts to comfort the distraught Pokémon. Back in the robot, James tells Meowth to go to full power, but is stopped when Ash tells Snorlax to knock over the robot and send Team Rocket crashing into the ground with {{m|Tackle}}. Now out of the robot, they decide to get back to basics as they send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to fight against the group. Professor Birch, Professor Oak, and Delia come out of the lab to see what all the commotion is. Birch recognizes them as Team Rocket, and Professor Oak remarks that those three are still at their old tricks. Not standing for them trying to steal Pokémon, Birch decides to deal with them himself and pulls out a Poké Ball, but is stopped by Delia who tells him that he should leave it to her son and his friends to deal with: it's their fight.
[[File:May catching Squirtle.png|thumb|220px|left|May obtaining Squirtle from Professor Oak]]
Back to the battle, Jessie orders Seviper to use {{m|Poison Tail}}, and Ash counters with Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, knocking Poison Tail right back at Seviper. James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and May tells her Bulbasaur to use {{m|Petal Dance}}, knocking back Pin Missile and attacking Cacnea. Jessie shouts at the Pokémon to get their act together, and tells Seviper to use {{m|Bite}} while James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Needle Arm}}. Deciding to finish them off, Ash tells Bulbasaur to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, which hits Cacnea and Seviper squarely, sending them blasting off. Realizing that they have been almost attacked, Team Rocket attempt to sneak away but are stopped by Tracey and Misty, who team up their Marill and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} and send Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet smashing into their robot with a double Water Gun, damaging it. May tells Combusken to burn them with {{m|Fire Spin}}, and Ash has Pikachu fire a full-power Thunderbolt to blast them off once and for all after their Pokémon, in addition to destroying the robot, with a result of Birch being surprised. As the group celebrates, Delia says that she knew that they would be all right.

Back in the lab, Tracey tries again to recall Squirtle back into its Poké Ball, but the baby Pokémon is having none of it and jumps straight back into May's arms. Birch comments that maybe Squirtle would be better off with May, and asks Professor Oak what he thinks. Oak asks May if she would like to take care of {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, and May says that she would and thanks the Professor. Oak asks her if she would like to leave her Bulbasaur at the lab, and May agrees, saying that it could learn much from Ash's Bulbasaur. Oak is glad that he has another Pokémon to take care of in the lab, along with Glalie and Torkoal who Ash has decided to leave with him as well. He pulls out two brand new [[Pokédex]]es and gives them to May and Ash, who thank him. Max is a little jealous that everybody got something and he didn't, but Tracey surprises him with an updated [[PokéNav]] containing all the Battle Frontier data. Max is excited and starts looking for the new data on the updated device, and tells the group that the nearest Frontier [[Battle facility|facility]] is near [[Cerulean City]], and Ash says that that's near where Misty is heading. Misty decides to join the group on their way there.

Later that day, the group decide to leave and Ash says his goodbyes to his mother. Delia tells him to be okay, and Max jumps in and says that Ash will, as long as he is there. Just as they are about to depart, Ash's Phanpy runs up and Ash figures that it wants to come along with them. With Phanpy in tow, the friends set off. Saying goodbye, Ash along with his group of friends, leave Pallet Town once more. Soon afterward, {{an|Brock}} shows up and rejoins the group after having seen his family in [[Pewter City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:TeamRocketSunday.png|thumb|200px|Team Rocket disguised as the Pokémon Sunday crew]]
* [[Pocket-ering Monster-ing]] and [[Type: Wild]] are used as background music.
* This is the last episode where [[Stuart Zagnit]] voices {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Veronica Taylor]] voices {{Delia}}, [[Tara Jayne]] voices [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], [[Michael Haigney]] voices [[Ash's Muk]], [[Ted Lewis]] voices [[Ash's Snorlax]], [[Maddie Blaustein]] voices [[Ash's Torkoal]], and [[Pete Zarustica]] voices [[Ash's Glalie]].
** While this would also be the case for Ted Lewis as {{Tracey}}, he would eventually return to the role in ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]''.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun of the saying "in the right place at the right time".
* Tracey mentions to [[Max]] that Professor Oak used to draw Pokémon, a hobby introduced in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', where a young Samuel Oak was regularly seen sketching Pokémon in a sketchbook Tracey found during the film's credits.
* This episode would be the last time any of [[Ash's friends]] visit [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] until ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', 574 episodes later.
* This is the first time when a Pokémon previously left at Professor Oak's lab rejoins {{Ash}}'s regular [[Party|team]].
* This episode would mark the last physical appearance of [[Ash's Kingler]] until ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', 792 episodes later.
** This also marks the last time all the Pokémon Ash currently has in his team and at Oak's lab appear in one episode until the aforementioned episode.
* {{TRT}}'s disguise during this episode has [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} dress up as characters from the Japanese television show ''[[Pokémon Sunday]]''. Jessie dressed up as [[Becky]], James as Red-Hakase, Meowth as Golgo-Sachou, and Wobbuffet as a human cameraman.
* This is the last time to date where Tracey encounters Team Rocket.
* This episode marks one of the rare occasions in which a member of Team Rocket refers to one of the main protagonists by name. In this occasion, Jessie calls Ash by his name.
* {{an|May}} receiving {{p|Squirtle}} is the first instance where a Pokémon Professor gives a [[first partner Pokémon]] to a Trainer who has already started their journey and already received a first partner Pokémon from another Professor.
* This episode marks the first time a female main character has obtained a {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon.

===Errors===
[[File:AG133 error.png|thumb|200px|Marill's miscolored ears]]
* When [[Professor Birch]] says that Muk should play with the other Pokémon, his mouth briefly detaches from his face.
* When [[Ash's Tauros]] greet him, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s skin is colored darker.
* During a shot of Ash and {{AP|Bayleef}}, a part of Ash's hair is missing.
* In the scene where Team Rocket attempts to vacuum up the Pokémon, the inside of {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}'s ears is white instead of pink.
* Ash leaves [[Pallet Town]] with {{p|Phanpy}}, but without getting Phanpy's {{i|Poké Ball}} from Oak's Lab.

===Dub edits===
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Which of these Pokémon does not change during battle?
* Choices: {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Swalot}}, {{p|Castform}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose Swalot, you were right!

Artificial Pokémon

2026-01-29T22:38:00Z

SpaceDimentio: Grammar

{{samename|{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} identified in its [[Pokédex entry]] as the {{pkmn|category|"Artificial Pokémon"}}|Magearna (Pokémon)}}
----
[[File:Mewtwo GX Mitsuhiro Arita.jpg|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}, an artificial Pokémon created from the DNA of {{p|Mew}}.]]
In the [[Pokémon world]], a great deal of advanced technology is shown to be used by [[human]]s. Among this technology is the ability to create '''artificial Pokémon'''—{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have not emerged naturally but have been created, either through experiments or indirect means.

==Known artificial Pokémon==
===Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon-Z===
Until the re-discovery of {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon." Because it is made up entirely of computer data, it can exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction, but because Porygon can be bred using {{p|Ditto}}, this is arguably ineffective. Porygon was developed to work in space, but it lacks this ability until evolving.

Porygon possesses two Evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an [[Upgrade]]. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space; despite this, it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Unlike its predecessor, Porygon2 is not limited to what is contained in its program—it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimension]]s. However, it did not work as planned, so it exhibits erratic behavior.

</gallery>

===Mewtwo===
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]] and the result of gene-splicing experiments using the DNA of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal entries]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in [[Kanto]], Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which is possibly why this reference to giving birth was removed from the aforementioned entries in {{LGPE}}. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy, but Mewtwo's power was amplified to exceed Mew's power to create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, it appears to lack the DNA of every single Pokémon that Mew contains in its body.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the creation of {{adv|Mewtwo}} wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered by [[Team Rocket]], so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the Team Rocket [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] {{adv|Blaine}}. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.

Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y|Y]], which are possibly artificial as well considering Mewtwo didn't exist 3000 years ago when [[AZ]] used the [[ultimate weapon]] to end the [[Kalos]] war and, as a result, create the [[Mega Stone]]s, probably from [[Evolution stone]]s.

===Baltoy and Claydol===
Many of {{p|Claydol}}'s Pokédex entries state that it and its pre-Evolution, {{p|Baltoy}}, were originally clay figures created by ancient people. The figures came to life after being exposed to mystical rays.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]] to help predict the [[weather]]. Because of this, it has the ability to {{a|Forecast|change}} its [[form]] and type with the weather.

===Shuppet and Banette===
{{p|Banette}} is a plush doll that was thrown away and came to life due to its grudge over being disowned. It seeks the child who abandoned it. However, it is said that treating Banette nicely will satisfy it, causing it to turn back into a plush toy. {{p|Shuppet}}, as its Pre-Evolution, springs from the same source.

Banette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the [[Banettite]], unlocking its restrained powers by opening its zippers and unleashing suppressed and baleful energy.

===Trubbish and Garbodor===
{{p|Trubbish}}'s Pokédex entries say it was created when garbage and industrial waste mixed, causing a reaction that generated Trubbish. {{p|Garbodor}}, as its Evolution, springs from the same source.

Garbodor can [[Gigantamax]].

===Golett and Golurk===
{{p|Golett}} and {{p|Golurk}} were apparently created by an ancient civilization to protect people and Pokémon alike.

Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the [[Golurkite]], stimulating Golurk's internal energy, causing its seal to no longer be able to keep the energy inside.

===Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a Mythical Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in [[Unova]], [[Team Plasma]] reconstructed it from a [[Fossil]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Type: Null and Silvally===
{{p|Type: Null}} was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] as part of its [[Beast killer project]] - an initiative to create a Pokémon optimized for battling the [[Ultra Beast]]s by using cell cultures from all known types of Pokémon and combining their greatest strengths. Originally known as "Type: Full", the {{a|RKS System}} it was originally built with was intended to allow it to change types to adapt to any situation. When the three known models all rejected the RKS system and went berserk, the project was deemed a failure and they were placed into cryogenic stasis. The helmet Type: Null wears was made to stabilize the side-effects of the RKS System's rejection at the expense of suppressing its full power. When it evolves into {{p|Silvally}}, it deliberately destroys its helmet and becomes able to use the RKS System without losing control of itself. Silvally was named by [[Gladion]], according to the Pokédex. An additional Type: Null was later created in [[Galar]] using stolen research notes.

===Magearna===
{{p|Magearna}} was created over 500 years ago by a scientist as a gift to a king's daughter. Incidentally, it's identified in its [[Pokédex]] entry as the {{pkmn|category|"Artificial Pokémon"}}.

Magearna can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the [[Magearnite]], which is artificial as well, created by [[Quasartico Inc.]] using 999 [[Mega Shard]]s.

===Varoom and Revavroom===
It is said that {{p|Varoom}} was born when an unknown poison Pokémon entered and inspirited an engine created by humans at a scrap-processing factory.

===Future Paradox Pokémon===
Future [[Paradox Pokémon]] appear to be robotic counterparts of known Pokémon, said to be either future descendants of them or parallel timeline versions of them:
* {{p|Miraidon}} is said to be a robotic descendant of the Pokémon {{p|Cyclizar}}.
* {{p|Iron Treads}} is theorized to be a scientific weapon that uses extraterrestrial technology.
* {{p|Iron Moth}} is theorized to be an alien-controlled UFO sent to observe humanity.
* {{p|Iron Hands}} is theorized to be a cyborg modified from an athlete who was mortally wounded.
* {{p|Iron Jugulis}} is theorized to be a machine-{{p|Hydreigon}} hybrid, possibly the offspring between a Hydreigon and a robot.
* {{p|Iron Bundle}} is theorized to be a robot created by an ancient civilization.
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is theorized to be a robot created by a mad scientist from the future in order to make the strongest {{t|Psychic}} [[type]] of them all.
* {{p|Iron Leaves}} is theorized to be a {{p|Virizion}} from the future.
* {{p|Iron Boulder}} is theorized to be a {{p|Terrakion}} augmented by an evil organization.

==Other Pokémon influenced by humans==
Some Pokémon that formed naturally are shown to be altered in some way by human involvement.

===Grimer and Muk===
According to several [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], {{p|Grimer}} and consequently {{p|Muk}} were created from human pollution in a stream exposed to {{wp|X-ray}}s from the moon. As they were created from genetic waste, Grimer and Muk are {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

===Voltorb and Electrode===
{{p|Voltorb}} and, as such, {{p|Electrode}}, first appeared, according to several Pokédex entries, at [[Silph Co.|the company]] where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. It is rumored that it was first created when a {{i|Poké Ball}} was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy. This theory is supported further by the fact that its internal components are not a natural occurrence.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb and Electrode are introduced, which resemble [[Poké Ball (Hisui)|Poké Ball]]s from the time period, have a more natural appearance, and have existed since at least the time of the [[ancient hero]] (despite this predating the invention of Poké Balls). [[Professor Laventon]] notes that the tissues on Hisuian Electrode's surface are similar to those of an {{i|Apricorn}}.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus that fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Deoxys}} is one of two specimens. These specimens were used by [[Team Rocket]] to develop Deoxys similar to {{adv|Mewtwo}}.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
{{p|Burmy}} create outer {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Burmy and Wormadam|cloaks}} out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy's cloak will change depending on the location of its last battle.

A female Burmy with the Trash Cloak will evolve into Trash Cloak {{p|Wormadam}}, with the same artificial cloak it had as a Burmy. Unlike with Burmy, however, Wormadam's cloak is permanent.

===Spiritomb===
{{p|Spiritomb}} were once 108 separate entities whose sins caused their spirits to be bound together into the [[Odd Keystone]] as this Pokémon. The Keystones were then separated from the [[Hallowed Tower]], which triggers Spiritomb's release.

===Rotom===
{{p|Rotom}} can possess microwaves, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans, lawnmowers, certain [[Pokédex]]es, smartphones, [[PC]]s, and [[Bike]]s.

===Alolan Rattata and Raticate===
{{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} in [[Alola]] were booming in population until {{p|Yungoos}} were imported as a control measure. As a result, they changed their habitat, settling in urban areas and becoming nocturnal - which gave it an additional {{t|Dark}} type and [[Regional form|changed its appearance]]. Due to the new environment, Rattata and Raticate indulged themselves in richer, high-calorie foods, which made Raticate fatter and have puffier cheeks.

<gallery class="c">

0020Raticate-Alola.png|{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}
</gallery>

===Alolan Meowth and Persian ===
{{p|Meowth}} were imported to Alola as a gift to royalty. Due to its pampered and luxurious lifestyle, Meowth grew greedy and selfish, becoming a pure Dark-type and changing its appearance, later becoming feral and more common in the wild after the monarchy in Alola fell and left it living on the streets. Its prideful nature continued upon Evolution as a {{p|Persian}} and its distinct and round face is revered by the people of Alola.

0053Persian-Alola.png|{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}
</gallery>

===Alolan Grimer and Muk===
When Alola became more populated, {{p|Grimer}} were imported to deal with the garbage problem. Upon feeding on Alola's garbage, Grimer changed appearance and gained an additional Dark typing. The continual consumption of toxins also changed the appearance and typing of {{p|Muk}}, whose appetite now extends to anything within reach and has produced a new toxin from the accumulation of waste and manufactured materials.

<gallery class="c">

0089Muk-Alola.png|{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Muk}}

===Galarian Meowth and Perrserker===
The bodies of {{p|Meowth}} in Galar were toughened into iron by their lifestyle alongside a seafaring people. This influenced its Evolution, as it evolves into {{p|Perrserker}} instead of Persian.

<gallery class="c">

===Galarian Weezing===
In the past, when there were a lot of factories that polluted the air in [[Galar]], {{p|Weezing}} fed on the air pollution. This resulted in Weezing changing its appearance and gaining an additional {{t|Fairy}} typing. Galarian Weezing can create clean air by absorbing polluted air and removing the toxins in it.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to Ash by {{an|Professor Oak}}. He appeared in the [[I Choose You! trilogy|movie trilogy]] consisting of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', [[Pokémon movie]]s set in a different continuity from {{aniseries|PTS}}. Despite having largely the same personality as the {{AP|Pikachu}} of the main series and starting out his {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash in a similar way, the rest of Pikachu's story developed in quite a different way.

==In animation==
===History===
====''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''====
[[File:Ash Pikachu M20.png|thumb|250px|In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
On his first day as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash learned from {{an|Professor Oak}} that the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers from [[Pallet Town]]. Professor Oak revealed there was still one Pokémon left to give away. This turned out to be Pikachu, who acted very stubborn and showed no particular interest in Ash. Despite this, Ash chose Pikachu to be his partner, and together, they set out on their journey.

Pikachu initially gave the inexperienced Trainer a hard time, refusing to listen to his commands. It was not until Ash accidentally angered a flock of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} and Ash protected Pikachu from them that they started to bond. After this, they encountered {{an|Ho-Oh}} and Ash vowed to encounter Ho-Oh again someday with Pikachu. Pikachu would subsequently become a trusted partner for Ash, helping him catch a {{AP|Caterpie}} and win Badges. Ash and Pikachu eventually met two other Trainers, named [[Verity]] and [[Sorrel]], and found another friend in an abandoned {{AP|Charmander}}.

After losing a battle against a Trainer named [[Cross]], Ash started to question himself and his Pokémon and even wished he had started out with a Bulbasaur or Squirtle instead of Pikachu. Luckily, a mysterious Pokémon called {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} helped Ash see the error in his new ways by pulling him into a dream where Pikachu was completely absent. Ash apologized to Pikachu and they continued their journey towards the [[Mt. Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to see Ho-Oh again.

[[File:Ash and Pikachu M20.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu and Ash]]
Atop the Raizen Mountains at [[Mount Tensei]], Ash's [[Rainbow Feather|Rainbow Wing]] became corrupted when Cross appeared and placed it on Rainbow Rock with his evil heart. Marshadow, in turn, became corrupted by the Rainbow Wing and managed to possess a group of nearby Pokémon. Ash used Pikachu to battle against Marshadow, but the Gloomdweller Pokémon proved to be too powerful and it eventually won, but not without exhausting itself in the process. Ash grabbed the injured Pikachu to keep out of harm from Marshadow's army, only for the two to run into a dead end.

When Ash attempted to get Pikachu to return to his {{i|Poké Ball}} for safety, he refused. Pikachu, appearing to {{pkmn2|talking|speak}}, revealed to Ash that he wished to stay by his side forever. Mirroring the start of their journey, Ash tried to protect Pikachu by standing in the way of the attacks. He eventually managed to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. Taking the full blast, Ash's body started to disappear, with only his consciousness surviving in a spirit world. Pikachu took hold of [[Ash's hat]] and started to cry, with the corrupted Rainbow Wing withering away while launching a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}} around the pinnacle, freeing Marshadow and the other Pokémon he hit from the corrupted wing's control.

Ash could hear Pikachu's cries in the spirit world and ran towards his voice. This caused his body to regenerate in the real world. Noticing this, Pikachu ran towards Ash and reunited with him, fully reviving him. After placing a new Rainbow Wing atop Rainbow Rock with his pure heart, Ho-Oh finally appeared. Ash and Pikachu had a fierce battle with Ho-Oh until the sun set. Sometime after, Ash and Pikachu said their goodbyes to Verity and Sorrel, who continued on their own journeys. Pikachu continued to travel with Ash, aiding him in his dream to become a [[Pokémon Master]].

====''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''====
Eventually, Pikachu and Ash visited [[Fula City]] in order to attend the [[Wind Festival]]. While touring the city, Pikachu assisted Ash when they intervened in a confrontation involving three boys selling lemonade. When one of them ordered their Phanpy to attack, Pikachu skillfully evaded Rollout by leaping onto a nearby building. Phanpy’s momentum caused it to collide with its own Trainer, and Pikachu ended the encounter by defeating Phanpy with Iron Tail. Pikachu was later affectionately thanked by Margo, the [[Mayor Oliver|mayor’s]] daughter. Later, Pikachu participated alongside Ash in the [[Pokémon Catch Race]], an event held during the Wind Festival. While pursuing Pokémon through the streets, Pikachu detected and chased a rampaging [[Tyranitar (Pokémon)|Tyranitar]] that had a rope tightly wound around its neck, causing it severe distress.

As Tyranitar approached a populated area, Pikachu struck it directly and severed the rope using Iron Tail, allowing Ash to calm the Pokémon and prevent harm to nearby spectators. Tyranitar was freed and left peacefully. Pikachu’s actions were publicly acknowledged when the mayor personally thanked Ash for stopping the incident. At the Pokémon Center, Pikachu was startled by Risa when she suddenly hugged Ash, accidentally shocking both of them. Shortly afterward, [[Risa]] requested Ash’s help in catching a Pokémon. Pikachu sensed a nearby wild [[Eevee (Pokémon)|Eevee]], prompting Ash to guide Risa through her first Pokémon battle.

With Ash’s encouragement, Pikachu followed Risa’s commands despite her inexperience. Pikachu dodged Eevee’s attacks, struck it with [[Quick Attack (move)|Quick Attack]], deflected [[Swift (move)|Swift]] with [[Iron Tail (move)|Iron Tail]], and used [[Thunderbolt (move)|Thunderbolt]] to weaken and paralyze Eevee. Pikachu’s restraint and cooperation allowed Risa to successfully catch Eevee. At the presentation, Pikachu and Ash pursued Team Rocket after they were discovered stealing Effect Spore essence. During the chase, Pikachu attacked with Thunderbolt, but [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] reflected the move using [[Mirror Coat (move)|Mirror Coat]], allowing Team Rocket to escape.

The following day when the Eternal Flame vanished, Pikachu smelled Smeragle ink on the area leading them to [[Toren]]'s Smeargle. Later, Pikachu defended Margo from two Pokemon Hunters whom were after Zeraora with Iron Tail as Ash and friends arrived with Mayor Oliver. After the power planet exploded due to the wildfire, Pikachu and Ash went with Margo to said area where Zeraora went to rescue the wild Pokemon. When Ash and Margo encountered Zeraora, Pikachu later protected Ash from being hit by {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}'s {{m|Plasma Fists}} attack and proceeded to battle with the {{pkmn|category|Thunderclap Pokémon}}, but the battle stopped when Zeraora accidentally launched a Plasma Fists attack at the [[wild Pokémon]] and Ash jumped in to save them. He was later used to recharge the sprinkler system, which was later used to extinguish the fire caused by {{TRT}} dropping a sample of {{a|Effect Spore}} solution.

====''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''====
Ash’s Pikachu traveled with Ash to [[Milyfa Town]], located near the [[Forest of Okoya]]. While exploring the jungle, Pikachu was briefly swallowed by a wild [[Cramorant (Pokémon)|Cramorant]], but was quickly spat out unharmed. Pikachu later helped Ash chase a wild Flapple, though it escaped. Pikachu later accompanied Ash when they encountered [[Sharon]] and a research team from the Biotope Company. While observing the group, Pikachu remained alert as Team Rocket secretly spied on the researchers.

After Ash rescued an unconscious boy named [[Koko (M23)|Koko]] from a river, Pikachu stayed by Ash’s side while Koko recovered at the Pokémon Center in Milyfa Town. Pikachu helped calm a rampaging Drednaw, responding peacefully to Koko’s attempts at communication and further convincing Ash that Koko believed himself to be a Pokémon. Pikachu later accompanied Ash and Koko throughout Milyfa Town, interacting with humans and Pokémon alike.

That evening, Pikachu assisted during an incident involving a Falinks troop that had driven people away from a fireworks launch site. Pikachu observed Koko successfully communicate with Falinks, resolving the conflict without battle.

Pikachu later traveled with Ash and Koko into the Forest of Okoya, where they encountered [[Dada]], the Zarude who raised Koko. When [[Doctor Zed|Dr. Zed]] of the Biotope Company betrayed the group, Pikachu was captured along with Ash and Koko by Ariados’s String Shot and imprisoned in a truck. Pikachu was freed after Team Rocket abandoned their plan to steal it. At the Heart Tree, Pikachu joined Ash and the Zarude troop in opposing Dr. Zed’s spider-tank mecha, which threatened the jungle. Pikachu fought alongside the Pokémon of the forest and later assisted in the decisive moment of the battle. With the help of several Pokémon and Zarude, Pikachu maneuvered behind the mecha and destroyed its control mechanism using [[Iron Tail (move)|Iron Tail]], rendering it inoperable.

====''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]''====
Pikachu reappeared in the fifth special episode of {{aniseries|JN}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Pikachu imitating Ivysaur.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu's imitation skills]]
Much like the {{AP|Pikachu}} of {{aniseries|PTS}}, Pikachu was initially difficult and uninterested in Ash during the start of their journey, but he became extremely loyal to him after he protected him from a flock of Spearow. He also took on Ash's interest and enthusiasm in battling. In addition, the two had a very close bond, to the point where Pikachu issued a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}} in outrage at Ash's death, and then started to cry.

Like the Pikachu from ''Pokémon the Series'', Pikachu has demonstrated an uncanny ability to imitate other Pokémon, as seen when he imitated a Trainer's {{p|Ivysaur}}.

===Pikachu in a cap===
[[File:0025Pikachu-Partner Cap.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of Partner Cap Pikachu]]
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}
Following the six cap-wearing {{pkmn2|event}} Pikachu distributed in celebration of both the [[M20|twentieth Pokémon movie]] and the 20th anniversary of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' (all of which were based on Ash's Pikachu from the main series), a seventh Pikachu in a cap, known as the Partner Cap Pikachu, based on this Pikachu and wearing the hat Ash wears in the twentieth movie, debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. Like his predecessors, this Pikachu is always [[Gender|male]] and cannot evolve. His moveset is identical to the one he had in the movie in which he appeared, and his level corrusponds to the number of said movie. Also like the others, he has access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie. Unlike the other six, this Pikachu is only available in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

In [[Generation VIII]], Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed [[Pikachu in a cap#Partner Cap 2|via serial code]] from September 29 to November 30, 2020. The distribution was part of a promotion celebrating ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'''s timeslot change to Fridays in Japan.

[[File:Ash Pikachu ICYR.png|thumb|200px|Ash in [[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix]]]]
Pikachu appeared in [[ICYR1]], where he took on an [[island challenge|island trial]] on [[Poni Island]] with Ash. During the trial, they encountered a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}} and battled it. In the middle of the battle, Ash had a flashback of the day that he met Pikachu.

During the flashback, Ash ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as he was late in getting his first Pokémon. Since three of the Pokémon Professor Oak provided weren't available, Ash had to choose Pikachu in which they got off on a rocky start. During their travels, Ash accidentally angered a {{AP|Spearow|Fearow}} when he accidentally threw a rock at it. This caused a flock of {{p|Spearow}} to chase after the two. With Ash's determination, Pikachu was able to save Ash by defeating the Spearow flock. With that done, Ash and Pikachu saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} flying by them.

Back in the present, Ash still had to deal with Kommo-o. After Ash remembered the day that he met Pikachu, he was able to defeat Kommo-o with Pikachu using {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

(Japanese: '''祝15周年！ポケモン映画名シーン超ランキングスペシャル!!''' ''{{tt|Pocket Monsters|Pokémon}} Creating 15th Anniversary Celebration! A Super Ranking Special on Noteworthy Movie Scenes!!'') is an [[List of animated series specials|animated series special]] that aired in Japan on August 16, 2012 as part of [[Best Wishes! Season 2]]. It features [[Team Rocket]] ranking the [[Pokémon movie]]s in celebration of their 15th anniversary as well as a live performance of [[Look Look☆Here]] from the [[Pikachu the Live 2012 concert]].

==Plot==
The episode begins with the [[narrator]] explaining the anniversary and the ranking. He talks about the anime’s movie history, while images from [[M01]] to [[M14]] as well as from the recently released [[M15]] and [[PK24]] are shown. He explains that today we will look back on the movies by ranking their most noteworthy scenes. When he is about to begin, however, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] highjacks the program and explains that they will be the ones doing the ranking instead, based on their personal preferences. They are standing in a brightly decorated studio, with a poster with a pink R behind them and tall flowers at the sides.

The first ranking is about which main movie Pokémon the Team Rocket Trio would like to catch the most. The ranking, which is accompanied by movie clips, is as follows:

* 5: [[Arceus (M12)|Arceus]] from [[M12]], due to its great power.
* 4: [[Darkrai (M10)|Darkrai]] from [[M10]], because of how moving it was when it protected the town.
* 3: [[Jirachi (M06)|Jirachi]] from [[M06]], because it can grant wishes and therefore summon food.
* 2: [[Celebi (M04)|Celebi]] from [[M04]], because James wants to use its time travel ability to see different eras.
* 1: [[Mew (M08)|Mew]] from [[M08]], due to its rarity and its ability to transform.

James ends the ranking by saying they are in fact not up to the challenge of catching them, to which Jessie takes offense. They then continue saying that, from the current M15 and PK24, Jessie and James would like to catch [[Kyurem (M15)|Kyurem]] while Meowth would like to catch the heart of [[Meloetta (anime)|Meloetta.]]

The next ranking is about their favorite movie scenes starring themselves. The ranking is as follows:

* 3: M01: Getting involved in the clone fight, and specifically Meowth and his clone choosing not to fight and instead talking about the moon.
* 2: M04: Jessie getting captured by the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], or, as she puts it, jumping in there on purpose and facing him on her own, and then saving [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Sam]] by stopping their fall.
* 1: [[M02]]: Helping Ash to assemble the three treasures with the help of their motor-driven inflatable raft and therefore helping to save the world.

Team Rocket then mentions that they will make short, hidden appearances in M15 as well, before continuing with the next ranking, which is about the movie scenes that made them laugh the most.

* 10: [[M05]]: Ash participates in the [[Tour de Alto Mare]] and crashes into the river due to the invisible [[Latios (M05)|Latios]].
* 9: [[M09]]: [[Manaphy (M09)|Manaphy]] crashes into the submarine’s window.
* 8: [[M13]]: [[Zorua (M13)|Zorua]] transforms into Ash.
* 7: M12: [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] falls into a kitchen and gets a bowl stuck on his head.
* 6: M14: [[Victini (M14)|Victini]] chokes on the macaron it has stolen from Ash.
* 5: [[M11]]: [[Dawn's Mamoswine|Dawn’s Swinub]] keeps eating its meal while Shaymin causes a commotion.
* 4: [[M07]]: [[May's Munchlax]] tries to kick a plastic bottle into a trash can, fails on the first try, then manages it on the second.
* 3: M10: The friend group climbs the [[Space-Time Towers]], Ash rushes in front of the others and therefore misses the balloon the others ride to the top.
* 2: M01: Team Rocket gives Ash and his friends a ride with their boat while dressed as Vikings, with Meowth dressed as the boat’s figurehead.
* 1: M09: Team Rocket’s bodies get switched because they touched Manaphy’s egg.

Back in the studio, Jessie, James and Meowth are fighting about who is most responsible for their failures. Then they explain that M15 and PK24 are funny as well, giving as examples a movie scene where Ash and his friends’ Pokémon are acting silly on a train and all of PK24 in general.

The final ranking is about which movie scenes made Team Rocket cry the most.

* 3: [[M03]]: [[Entei (M03)|Entei]] breaks the [[Unown (M03)|Unown]]’s barrier, saving [[Molly Hale|Molly]] from the fantasy world and telling her to keep him in her dreams.
* 2: M06: Ash and his friends say goodbye to Jirachi. Jessie comments that even if you know a farewell is coming, it is still painful.
* 1: M08: With the help of a [[time flower]], [[Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] watches as [[Sir Aaron]] sacrifices himself and calls Lucario his friend.

Back in the studio, Team Rocket is crying. Next, they say that M15 will have many emotional scenes as well. Their first example is the scene where [[Keldeo (M15)|Keldeo]] manages to turn into his Resolute Form. Their second is the scene in the end where the [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Swords of Justice]] recite their oath together with Keldeo.

Team Rocket then advertises the song [[Look Look☆Here]] from PK24 and a live performance of the song from the [[Pikachu the Live 2012 concert]] is shown. Team Rocket ends the special by saying that they will be the stars of the next year’s movie.

==Trivia==
* When James says that first, they're on the radio and now they get to be the hosts of the special, this is a reference to the radio show [[Team Rocket's Secret Empire]], which was currently being aired.
* All of the movies from M01 to M14 have managed to make it into the rankings.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus has a form for each of the eighteen [[type]]s, which it can [[Type change|change into]] while holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]] until February 14, 2009, the year of its [[M12|debut movie]]. It was later officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is the creator of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[lake guardians]], and the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. Known as the '''Original One''' (Japanese: '''そのもの''' ''Sono mono'', "the very being") in [[Sinnoh myths]], it was worshiped in ancient times by the people of [[Hisui]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{Ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Sinn'ō-sama'').

{{ga|Arceus}} plays a central role in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, serving as the game's titular character and a key figure in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]]]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically striated underside. The striated pattern also appears on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes, red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, which points upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four green jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly continues past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is similar to its mane in terms of shape and coloration. It is capable of flight.

[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|200px|right|Arceus recreating the {{pkmn|egg}} of one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
According to [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|mythology]], a single [[Pokémon Egg]] emerged from a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness predating the [[Pokémon universe]]. Arceus hatched from this egg and shaped the universe using its 1,000 arms, including the Sinnoh (then known as [[Hisui]]) and [[Ransei]] [[region]]s. It also created the eggs from which the [[Pokémon of myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, hatched from, and can recreate these eggs if it wants to. It is the oldest Pokémon in existence; as such, it is referred to as "Original One" in folklore. Arceus banished Giratina to the [[Distortion World]] due to its violent nature, and gave the lake guardians the power to control and calm either Dialga or Palkia should they become enraged. Like the Pokémon of myth, {{ga|Arceus}} also resides in another dimension, a [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|realm beyond time and space]] itself. There, it appears as a silhouette of golden light.

Arceus was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]], stating that "Arceus" is simply the name [[human]]s call it. The ancient Sinnoh people worshipped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh," "great Sinnoh," and "might of Sinnoh," with the term "Sinnoh" later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worshipped it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} respectively for Arceus. Both Palkia and Dialga's {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} have body shapes similar to that of Arceus; this resemblance is believed to be a strategy in order to gain Arceus' powers. [[Professor Laventon]] describes Arceus as "the heavenly fount from which pours the light that shines across Hisui" and the protector of all Pokémon. In ancient myths, it is said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contains the power of Arceus itself.

As shown in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus was known to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times, protecting the world from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion to those who treated it with kindness. At the same time, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly; it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived and holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In modern times, Arceus continues to watch over the world and wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it only gives hints on how to solve problems instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light, making them bigger and more powerful, as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is passed down through family lines, as seen with the descendants of the hero's Pokémon: the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|ride Pokémon}} worshiped by the people of [[Hisui]].

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', Arceus is portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. In said movie, using its [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]], it created the [[Jewel of Life]], a powerful artifact capable of turning a [[Michina Town|desolate land]] into a rich and fertile one. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown to be able to stop the destruction caused by a space-time void. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. Arceus also has the power to split in two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its realm. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus transformed a normal smartphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus also has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges, as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[sync stone ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[arc suit]]s. As a result, their [[sync pair]] is blessed as well, granting them a {{DL|Sync move|Divine moves|divine move}} over their normal [[sync move]].

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}. It is also able to use charged-up versions of the Pokémon of myth's signature moves ({{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}), as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

Through its Multitype Ability, Arceus can change its type at will by holding one of its [[Plate]]s or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. This causes its eyes, underbelly, face, hooves, snout, gems, and cross-like wheel to change color to match its current type. In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it is also said to feed off the energy of its Plates.

In [[Alola]], the [[Aether Foundation]] gathered Arceus's data from myths and legends told in [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] who was initially named {{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}. Equipped with the {{a|RKS System}}, an Ability that allows it to simulate Arceus's Multitype through [[Memory|memories]], it was developed during the [[Beast killer project]] to protect Alola from the [[Ultra Beast]]s. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, and Type: Full's Ability was sealed with a control helmet, which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed Type: Null. [[Gladion]] eventually discovered it and renamed it {{p|Silvally}}, with their newfound bond allowing it to reawaken its dormant powers.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy-type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into a Normal-type Pokémon in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. All of its forms are named simply "Arceus" in the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], Arceus will be present in its Water, Electric or Fire-type form, depending on the game, as Plates do not exist. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only its Normal-type form is available, with Multitype serving a different function.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus would stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic with its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their [[Pokémon multiverse#Pokémon Journeys: The Series|alternate world]] counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}. Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set, which were printed with a rule that allows players to have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the highest base stat total of any Pokémon in its base form.
** Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
** Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 720.
* Arceus holding the [[Sky Plate]] is the first Pokémon to be pure {{type|Flying}}, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon. {{p|Tornadus}} would later be introduced as the first Pokémon to be pure Flying in its default form.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Flying-type Arceus and Tornadus are the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] via a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the [[Ability]] RKS System.
[[File:Space Globe artwork S.png|thumb|150px|Space Globe]]
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* Ever since Arceus's debut, certain aspects of the Pokémon series have made use of its iconography.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Space Globe]] (Japanese: じくうのオーブ ''Space-Time Orb'') is an item that is described as the ultimate globe that holds the power to pass through space and time. It resembles Arceus's attached wheel and can be found on a statue of Arceus.
** According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
*** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, swapping their usual white to a light gold.
** The name of the Ability RKS System is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
*** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has sometimes been [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|treated]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of {{g|Masters EX}}.
** The official English website of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon as of September 28, 2021.<ref>Archive of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] official website ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210818132639/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ August 18, 2021]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20210928190642/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ September 28, 2021])</ref> On the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]], as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to narrate the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* Arceus was the only Pokémon first introduced during the DPt era of the Japanese [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the international TCG, Arceus and [[Shaymin (TCG)|Shaymin]] were both introduced in the Platinum series. 
* The [[origin mark]] for Legends: Arceus [[File:Arceus mark.png|30px]] and the symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolArceus.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png|30px]] resemble Arceus's rings.
* Arceus's {{Type|Fairy}} form is the only Pokémon introduced after [[Generation IV]] to exist in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus is the only Pokémon that can be registered in the player's [[Pokédex]] and have a [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)#Research level|research level]] of 0 at the same time.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus also appears to draw significant inspiration from {{wp|Classical Greece}}, evident in the (putative) onomastic nod to {{wp|Zeus}}, ruler of Mount Olympus; in the ancient Greek style settings that frequently frame its epiphanies, such as rows of classical columns, stepped stone platforms, and straight processional approaches typical of Greek sanctuaries; and in the Classical Greek styling favored by Arceus devotees such as {{wp|Volo}}, with tunic-like layering and a {{wp|himation}}-like draped cloak. Its cosmogonic emergence “from an egg” resonates with the {{wp|Orphic Egg}} and the birth of {{wp|Phanes|Phanes/Protogonos}}, as well as the broader {{wp|World egg}} motif found across numerous creation myths. The gold, cross-spoked ring fused around a white, near-abstract body operates as a built-in nimbus or solar crown in the manner of {{wp|Helios}} or a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a widespread religious icon used to denote holy, divine, or sacred figures and, at various periods, rulers, heroes, and saints. The triadic delegation of domains (time, space, distortion) parallels the classical division of realms among Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, while Giratina’s banishment functions as a {{wp|Tartarus|Tartarean}} containment of rebellious force.

Based on its appearance and attack animations, Arceus may be modeled on a variety of animals, such as members of {{wp|Equidae}}, {{wp|Camelidae}}, or {{wp|Giraffidae}}, and/or fantastical beings, such as the {{wp|Centaurs}}, the {{wp|Sleipnir}}, the {{wp|Qilin}}, the {{wp|Uchchaihshravas}} or the {{wp|Longma}}. The [[Pokédex]] entry that states Arceus shaped the world with its multiple arms may also reference or be inspired by the many-armed {{wp|Bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} in {{wp|Buddhism}} or by the many-armed {{wp|Hecatoncheires}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

His name is pronounced as the two letters separately ("A Z").

==In the core series games==

===History===
====Background====
[[File:Ultimate weapon ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|AZ activating the [[ultimate weapon]]]]
3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, a war broke out in [[Kalos]]. This long conflict was drawn out and many lives were lost. People treated Pokémon with special powers as mere tools in their conflict, so they gathered lots of Pokémon, including Pokémon with unique powers. In order to emerge victorious, the soldiers believed that they needed even more powerful Pokémon. AZ loved his [[Pokémon X and Y beta#Eternal Flower Floette|Floette]], which he had received from his late mother, but it was forcefully taken from him by the soldiers and became just another sacrifice in the war.<ref name="Game Informer">[https://web.archive.org/web/20190714022848/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/02/14/afterwords-unabridged-pokemon-x-and-y.aspx Game Informer]: Afterwords – Pokémon X & Y ''Game Informer'' (Archived on August 2, 2024)</ref>

AZ received the body of his beloved Pokémon several years later, and out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine to restore it to life. This machine was powered up by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. [[AZ]] nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> He succeeded, but unable to overcome his despair, he turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]], with which he destroyed both sides of the conflict, ending the war. His Floette, disgusted with the fact that the machine was powered by the life energy of other Pokémon, left him. Due to his exposure to the ultimate weapon, he had his lifespan extended and gained an incredible height.<ref name="Game Informer" />

As revealed by documents kept in [[Lysandre Labs]], AZ's younger brother had wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed. After AZ ended the war with the ultimate weapon, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon, in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again.

After his Floette left, AZ started aimlessly wandering around the world. AZ had an encounter with the Legendary Pokémon of Kalos at some point.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"I remember my encoutners [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Kalos]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> 3,000 years prior to {{G|Sword and Shield}}, AZ travelled to [[Galar]] and witnessed the [[Darkest Day]].<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"I remember when that [[Darkest Day|dark day]] fell over [[Galar]]..."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> 2,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon X and Y, AZ was approached by a powerful man. He asked for AZ's help to protect Kalos, so instead of making another device that would take from others, he decided to build one that would share the eternal life he had bestowed on Floette, [[Ange]], which was hidden inside [[Prism Tower]]. AZ planned to use it once he reunited with Floette, but the device would lay dormant until the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. 1,000 years prior to the events of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, AZ travelled to [[Hoenn]] to research the origins of Mega Evolution and satisfy his own curiosity. There, he planted a tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]] (where an "Eternal Flower" can be found), and later witnessed the cataclysmic battle of {{me|Rayquaza}} with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the {{p|Rayquaza|Δ (Delta)}}, born of the great disturbances in this [[Pokémon world|world]]. By the bonds born of [[Human|mankind]]'s wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that AZ mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref><ref>'''Constance:''' "The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]].There, he researched the orgins of [[Mega Evolution]] to staisfy his own curiosity." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> At some point, he also acquired the [[Prison Bottle]].

====[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]====

===== [[Delta Episode]] =====
Although not by name, AZ is mentioned several times during the Delta Episode.

[[Mr. Stone]] mentions that his grandfather used [[Infinity Energy]], the same energy used by the ultimate weapon, to improve the lives of people and Pokémon alike, which the [[Devon Corporation]] used to grow into one of the top industries in [[Hoenn]].

When the player overhears [[Wallace]]'s conversation with his master, they discuss that the tree planted in front of the entrance to the [[Cave of Origin]] was given to the people of {{ci|Sootopolis}} by a "huge man who visited from the Kalos region". Underneath the tree there is a flower of the same kind as the one carried by AZ's Floette.

At the [[Sky Pillar]], [[Zinnia]] tells the player that 1,000 years ago, "a tall visitor from a distant land" witnessed how {{me|Rayquaza}} stopped a fight between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}. He is quoted to have said, "It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world."

====[[Pokémon X and Y]]====
[[File:AZ Introduction.png|thumb|250px|left|The player encountering AZ on {{rt|13|Kalos}}]]
AZ is first seen on {{rt|13|Kalos}}. When the {{player}} encounters him, he mutters about "the flower Pokémon," then leaves.

[[Lysandre]] captures AZ and takes the ultimate weapon's key from around his neck, so that he can use it to destroy all life except [[Team Flare]]. The player encounters him in a cell in the lowest levels of [[Lysandre Labs]], where he tells the player the story of the history of Kalos.

After the player defeats Lysandre once and for all in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] beneath [[Geosenge Town]], AZ—now freed from his prison—approaches and thanks them for stopping the weapon from being used again.
[[File:AZ holding Floette.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Floette}} returning to AZ after 3,000 years during the parade]]
After the player defeats [[Diantha]] for the first time to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, during the parade in [[Lumiose City]] to celebrate the player's success, AZ approaches the stage and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}, wishing to learn about what a {{pkmn|Trainer}} truly is. After the battle, AZ smiles, thanking the player for freeing him from his long torment. Then, he sees a sparkle in the sky. Having sensed the liberation of AZ's heart, his beloved {{p|Floette}}—who was granted eternal life alongside AZ 3,000 years earlier—finally returns to him. AZ collapses to his knees, overjoyed that his Pokémon has finally returned. He is not seen again after this.

==== Between X and Y and Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
In the 5 years following the events of X and Y, AZ purchases a property in [[Lumiose City]] and establishes [[Hotel Z]], with the intention of living out the remainder of his life there alongside his Floette. Due to the recent activation of the [[ultimate weapon]] by [[Team Flare]], AZ anticipates the reawakening of [[Ange]], embedded deep within the [[Prism Tower]], and warns [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] of the device's existence. Together, they later witness a disturbance at the tower resulting in the release of [[Mega Power]]. As a consequence, wild Pokémon are drawn to the city in droves, and some are forced to Mega Evolve on their own, a phenomenon that would come to be known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. AZ warns Quasartico of the need to locate a trainer capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Floette and using Mega Floette to deactivate the device.

Heeding his warning, Quasartico establish the [[Z-A Royale]] with the ulterior goal of locating the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user in Lumiose City. They promise competitors that whoever reaches Rank A will be granted a wish, provided it is within the company's power to do so. Quasartico close Prism Tower and begin constructing a confinement structure to contain the Mega Power being emitted. During this time, AZ befriends a group of youths who begin to work for the hotel in exchange for room and board: [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]]. Together, the youths form a collective known as [[Team MZ]], with the hope of drumming up business at the hotel which sees few guests. They are soon recruited by Quasartico to assist in handling the Rogue Mega Evolution phenomenon, which the company have covertly been attempting to suppress for two years.

====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
The {{player}} arrives at Lumiose City and quickly befriends the leader of the group, Urbain/Taunie, who invites them to stay and join. Before arriving at the hotel for the first time, Urbain/Taunie's partner Pokémon bring the player's travel bag to AZ, causing him to worry. Upon meeting with the player, he tells them that his fears were unfounded and that he believes the player's arrival to be fate. He quietly observes a [[Zygarde Cell]] emerging from the player's bag, before giving them the key to Room 202. AZ is delighted to learn of the player joining the Z-A Royale, cryptically informing them that if they reach the top rank they will be able to free Lumiose City at last.

Throughout most of the game, AZ resides behind the reception desk of Hotel Z. He dispenses sage advice to the player, urging them to bond with their Pokémon and to experience and understand the city and its inhabitants so that they may best protect and serve them. He frequently makes reference to his aging body, reflects on his past, and is seen to have an irregular cough. Some time later, {{Ga|Zygarde}} leads the player and [[Emma]] to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}} in the [[Jaune District]]. AZ is alerted to the incident by his Floette and arrives in time to give the player a [[Mega Ring]]. He loans the player his {{p|Lucario}} and instructs them to Mega Evolve it so they can subdue the Absol. The player is successful, and upon returning the Lucario, AZ is satisfied of their capability in using Mega Evolution. The player then begins to help Team MZ subdue Rogue Mega Evolved Pokémon discovered across Lumiose City.

Late in the game, AZ reveals the existence of Ange to Team MZ, as well as his plan to deactivate it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A of the Z-A Royale, and AZ declares his confidence in their ability to resolve the situation. The group retire to their rooms in Hotel Z for the night, but are awoken by the sound of a massive explosion. Congregating on the roof, the group discovers that Ange has awoken and shattered the structure that had been built to confine it. AZ entrusts the group with his Floette, and remains at the hotel to observe events from the rooftop. Ange fuses with Mega Floette to become Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying the Prism Tower and using its internal skeleton as a body. At the game's conclusion, AZ witnesses the defeat of Ange. Satisfied that Lumiose City is now at peace, he takes a moment for himself to reflect and express his relief, joy, and gratitude for Team MZ.

In the immediate aftermath, AZ dies offscreen of natural causes, with Urbain/Taunie discovering him upon returning to the hotel. Team MZ and [[Lysandre|L]] pay their respects at his grave in [[Dormez Bien Cemetery]], where Naveen understands that AZ had covertly made preparations for his own death. When the player returns to their room at the hotel, they find a Poké Ball with an attached letter from AZ, which states that he entrusts his Lucario to them and reveals that it [[Original Trainer|originally belonged to]] [[Korrina]]. In his final will and testament, AZ leaves Hotel Z to Team MZ to do with as they please, and simply requests that they look after his Floette and all the inhabitants of Lumiose City. The player and Urbain/Taunie make their wish to Jett and Vinnie for the Z-A Royale to continue indefinitely. Vinnie reveals that AZ had requested for the competition to continue after fulfilling its original purpose, and launches the Infinite Z-A Royale.

The player can return to the cemetery to visit AZ's grave. The inscription on the gravestone is enscribed as follows:
:"''Here lies AZ, who mastered both creation and destruction, a man of beginnings and endings.''" 
:"''For 3,000 years, he lived, finding no fellowship with others as he wandered the world's byways.''" 
:"''But in Lumiose, he discovered faithful friends and was reunited with his most beloved Pokémon.''" 
:"''It was in Lumiose, too, that he breathed his last.''"

It is rumored that AZ taught Quasartico how to make Mega Rings. In [[Mission (Legends:_Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission 104: "Abuzz About Bug Types"]], Constance explains that AZ is rumored to have traveled to [[Hoenn]], where he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity, then shared that research with Quasartico.

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Right before the battle with {{P|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and Korrina in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]] in the form of a dream-like manifestation. Though Urbain/Taunie deduce that the AZ before them is just a dream, they are all saddened by the reminder of his loss. AZ thanks each of them in turn for doing their part to protect Lumiose, before reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye as he and Floette fade away.

During the [[Kalos]] war, she was forcefully taken from AZ and sent to fight in it, where she subsequently died. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to resurrect her, which granted her eternal life as a result. She left him after realizing that the [[Infinity Energy|life force]] of other Pokémon was used to bring her back to life.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Floette is first mentioned by AZ when the player initially encounters him on {{rt|13|Kalos}}, where he mutters to himself about "the flower Pokémon". Floette appears during the parade arranged by [[Professor Sycamore]] in [[Lumiose City]]. After AZ battles {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} and is liberated from his torment, she floats down from the sky and finally returns to him. Neither Floette nor AZ are seen after this.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, 5 years after X and Y, she remained alongside AZ as he ran [[Hotel Z]], regularly hanging out with [[Team MZ]]. At the end of the game, [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] Floette in an attempt to deactivate [[Ange]], however, the plan fails and both have to be saved by {{ga|Paxton}}/{{ga|Harmony}} and {{p|Zygarde}}. After AZ passes away, Urbain/Taunie takes ownership of Floette and uses her against Paxton/Harmony in their 15th [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]] reward match during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 39: "The Infinite Z-A Royale". After the match, they give Floette and the [[Floettite]] to Paxton/Harmony.

Unlike other Floette, she has a unique color scheme and holds a different flower known as the Eternal Flower.}}

AZ appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]''. His backstory from the games was shown, describing how he built a machine to revive his {{p|Floette}} and later turned it into the [[ultimate weapon]] to end the [[Kalos]] war. Seeing how AZ had taken the lives of many Pokémon for her sake, Floette left him. Afterwards, AZ continued to wander eternally, searching for Floette.

During the parade held to celebrate the new [[Kalos League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, he approached {{ga|Calem}} and challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. He eventually lost, but thanked Calem for freeing him from his sorrow. Afterwards, he was finally reunited with his Floette.

[[File:Gurkinn AZ Adventures.png|thumb|230px|right|AZ in Pokémon Adventures]]
AZ debuted in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. While traveling through the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]'s underground section, [[Emma]] found AZ locked in a jail cell. Once introductions were made, AZ realized the key around his neck went missing and began panicking to find it.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. They found AZ's cell, where he informed them of [[Lysandre]]'s plans to use the [[ultimate weapon]] to wipe out everyone but [[Team Flare]] and create a beautiful world. After freeing AZ from his cell, the group headed towards the ultimate weapon's control room, where they found that {{adv|X}} failed to defeat Lysandre, but was able to free the [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] being used to fuel it. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take X and his friends back to the surface. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', AZ was revealed to have freed himself and escaped. Before he fled, AZ cryptically warned Lysandre that Team Flare's actions have put them under the surveillance of {{adv|Zygarde}}, the Overseer of Kalos.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, AZ approached the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children in [[Lumiose City]]. Noting how people shunned X and his friends despite their work in saving the region, AZ suggested Team Flare's ambitions weren't wrong and went to go activate the ultimate weapon again. The others tried to stop AZ, but he retaliated with his {{p|Golurk}}. When a stray attack nearly hit {{adv|Y}}, AZ stepped in and took the attack, destroying the ultimate weapon's key. The battle was merely an act to prevent X and his friends from heading down the path Lysandre took. With his mind at ease, AZ thanked the Vaniville children, only to be shocked at the return of the {{p|Floette}} that left him 3,000 years ago.

** [[Dexio]] states he would be as tall as a {{p|Seviper}} (8'10" or 2.7 m).<ref>{{g|X and Y}}: "We're looking for a really tall guy... And I mean tall. If you stretched out a Seviper and stood it up, he'd be that tall."</ref>
** Notably, this also makes him taller than the real-life tallest man in history ({{wp|Robert Wadlow}}, who was 8 ft 11.1 in / 2.72 m), and the current tallest living man ({{wp|Sultan Kösen}}, who is 8 ft 2.82 in / 2.51 m).
* AZ is the oldest known human in the history of all Pokémon media.
** The oldest human with a known natural age is [[Calaba]] who is 99 years old.
* AZ's [[Trainer ID number]] is 000001.
* During the battle against AZ in [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player's Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] points.
* Despite being classified as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], AZ is the only character in the core series who does not have an official [[Pokémon League]] title to use the [[Gym Leader]] battle theme.
* Both [[Parfum Palace]] and the [[Lumiose Museum]] contain a painting of the king who built the palace. After defeating AZ at the end of Pokémon X and Y, if examined, the player notes that it reminds them of AZ. It's also revealed in Pokémon Legends: Z-A that the aforementioned king was suspected to be a descendant of AZ's younger brother, and by extension, an ancestor of Lysandre.
* All of the Pokémon that AZ uses in battle are Pokémon associated with ancient civilization or longevity; {{p|Torkoal}} is based on a tortoise, which can live for multiple centuries, and both {{p|Golurk}} and {{p|Sigilyph}} are Pokémon thought to be from ancient times. Also, all know {{m|Return}}, indicating a high [[friendship]] level with AZ.
** None of his Pokémon, aside from Floette, are obtainable in the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
* [[Pokémon X and Y beta#Eternal Flower Floette|Unused data]] for AZ's Floette as an alternate form exists in the internal data of the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games.

===Origin===
AZ may be based on the medieval Christian legend of the {{wp|Wandering Jew}}. AZ may also be based on the Mesopotamian king {{wp|Gilgamesh}}; in the ''{{wp|Epic of Gilgamesh}}'', the titular king, described in mythology as a giant of a man more than 5 meters (16 ft 5 in) tall, traveled far and wide in his quest for immortality for himself after the death of his closest companion, Enkidu. AZ could also be inspired by {{wp|Ashoka}}, a ruler of the {{wp|Mauryan Empire}} who famously became a {{wp|Buddhist}} pacifist after his {{wp|Kalinga War|conquest of Kalinga}} caused the deaths of countless men and animals.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus has a form for each of the eighteen [[type]]s, which it can [[Type change|change into]] while holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]] until February 14, 2009, the year of its [[M12|debut movie]]. It was later officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is the creator of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[lake guardians]], and the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. Known as the '''Original One''' (Japanese: '''そのもの''' ''Sono mono'', "the very being") in [[Sinnoh myths]], it was worshiped in ancient times by the people of [[Hisui]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{Ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Sinn'ō-sama'').

{{ga|Arceus}} plays a central role in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, serving as the game's titular character and a key figure in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]]]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically striated underside. The striated pattern also appears on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes, red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, which points upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four green jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly continues past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is similar to its mane in terms of shape and coloration. It is capable of flight.

[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|200px|right|Arceus recreating the {{pkmn|egg}} of one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
According to [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|mythology]], a single [[Pokémon Egg]] emerged from a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness predating the [[Pokémon universe]]. Arceus hatched from this egg and shaped the universe using its 1,000 arms, including the Sinnoh (then known as [[Hisui]]) and [[Ransei]] [[region]]s. It also created the eggs from which the [[Pokémon of myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, hatched from, and can recreate these eggs if it wants to. It is the oldest Pokémon in existence; as such, it is referred to as "Original One" in folklore. Arceus banished Giratina to the [[Distortion World]] due to its violent nature, and gave the lake guardians the power to control and calm either Dialga or Palkia should they become enraged. Like the Pokémon of myth, {{ga|Arceus}} also resides in another dimension, a [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|realm beyond time and space]] itself. There, it appears as a silhouette of golden light. It was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]], stating that "Arceus" is simply the name [[human]]s call it. Both Palkia and Dialga's {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} have body shapes similar to that of Arceus; in the case of a former, this resemblance is believed to be a strategy in order to gain Arceus' powers. The ancient Sinnoh people worshipped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh," "great Sinnoh," and "might of Sinnoh," with the term "Sinnoh" later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worshipped it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} respectively for Arceus. In ancient myths, it is said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contains the power of Arceus itself.

[[Professor Laventon]] describes Arceus as "the heavenly fount from which pours the light that shines across Hisui" and the protector of all Pokémon. As shown in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus was known to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times, protecting the world from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion to those who treated it with kindness. At the same time, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly; it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived and holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In modern times, Arceus continues to watch over the world and wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it only gives hints on how to solve problems instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light, making them bigger and more powerful, as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is passed down through family lines, as seen with the descendants of the hero's Pokémon: the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|ride Pokémon}} worshiped by the people of [[Hisui]].

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', Arceus is portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. In said movie, using its [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]], it created the [[Jewel of Life]], a powerful artifact capable of turning a [[Michina Town|desolate land]] into a rich and fertile one. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown to be able to stop the destruction caused by a space-time void. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. Arceus also has the power to split in two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its realm. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus transformed a normal cellphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus also has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges, as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[sync stone ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[arc suit]]s. As a result, their [[sync pair]] is blessed as well, granting them a {{DL|Sync move|Divine moves|divine move}} over their normal [[sync move]].

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}. It is also able to use charged-up versions of the Pokémon of myth's signature moves ({{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}), as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

Through its Multitype Ability, Arceus can change its type at will by holding one of its [[Plate]]s or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. This causes its eyes, underbelly, face, hooves, snout, gems, and cross-like wheel to change color to match its current type. In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it is also said to feed off the energy of its Plates.

In [[Alola]], the [[Aether Foundation]] gathered Arceus's data from myths and legends told in [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] who was initially named {{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}. Equipped with the {{a|RKS System}}, an Ability that allows it to simulate Arceus's Multitype through [[Memory|memories]], it was developed during the [[Beast killer project]] to protect Alola from the [[Ultra Beast]]s. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, and Type: Full's Ability was sealed with a control helmet, which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed Type: Null. [[Gladion]] eventually discovered it and renamed it {{p|Silvally}}, with their newfound bond allowing it to reawaken its dormant powers.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy-type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into a Normal-type Pokémon in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. All of its forms are named simply "Arceus" in the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], Arceus will be present in its Water, Electric or Fire-type form, depending on the game, as Plates do not exist. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only its Normal-type form is available, with Multitype serving a different function.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus would stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic with its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their [[Pokémon multiverse#Pokémon Journeys: The Series|alternate world]] counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}. Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set, which were printed with a rule that allows players to have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the highest base stat total of any Pokémon in its base form.
** Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
** Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 720.
* Arceus holding the [[Sky Plate]] is the first Pokémon to be pure {{type|Flying}}, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon. {{p|Tornadus}} would later be introduced as the first Pokémon to be pure Flying in its default form.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Flying-type Arceus and Tornadus are the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] via a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the [[Ability]] RKS System.
[[File:Space Globe artwork S.png|thumb|150px|Space Globe]]
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* Ever since Arceus's debut, certain aspects of the Pokémon series have made use of its iconography.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Space Globe]] (Japanese: じくうのオーブ ''Space-Time Orb'') is an item that is described as the ultimate globe that holds the power to pass through space and time. It resembles Arceus's attached wheel and can be found on a statue of Arceus.
** According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
*** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, swapping their usual white to a light gold.
** The name of the Ability RKS System is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
*** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has sometimes been [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|treated]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of {{g|Masters EX}}.
** The official English website of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon as of September 28, 2021.<ref>Archive of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] official website ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210818132639/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ August 18, 2021]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20210928190642/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ September 28, 2021])</ref> On the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]], as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to narrate the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* Arceus was the only Pokémon first introduced during the DPt era of the Japanese [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the international TCG, Arceus and [[Shaymin (TCG)|Shaymin]] were both introduced in the Platinum series. 
* The [[origin mark]] for Legends: Arceus [[File:Arceus mark.png|30px]] and the symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolArceus.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png|30px]] resemble Arceus's rings.
* Arceus's {{Type|Fairy}} form is the only Pokémon introduced after [[Generation IV]] to exist in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus is the only Pokémon that can be registered in the player's [[Pokédex]] and have a [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)#Research level|research level]] of 0 at the same time.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus also appears to draw significant inspiration from {{wp|Classical Greece}}, evident in the (putative) onomastic nod to {{wp|Zeus}}, ruler of Mount Olympus; in the ancient Greek style settings that frequently frame its epiphanies, such as rows of classical columns, stepped stone platforms, and straight processional approaches typical of Greek sanctuaries; and in the Classical Greek styling favored by Arceus devotees such as {{wp|Volo}}, with tunic-like layering and a {{wp|himation}}-like draped cloak. Its cosmogonic emergence “from an egg” resonates with the {{wp|Orphic Egg}} and the birth of {{wp|Phanes|Phanes/Protogonos}}, as well as the broader {{wp|World egg}} motif found across numerous creation myths. The gold, cross-spoked ring fused around a white, near-abstract body operates as a built-in nimbus or solar crown in the manner of {{wp|Helios}} or a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a widespread religious icon used to denote holy, divine, or sacred figures and, at various periods, rulers, heroes, and saints. The triadic delegation of domains (time, space, distortion) parallels the classical division of realms among Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, while Giratina’s banishment functions as a {{wp|Tartarus|Tartarean}} containment of rebellious force.

Based on its appearance and attack animations, Arceus may be modeled on a variety of animals, such as members of {{wp|Equidae}}, {{wp|Camelidae}}, or {{wp|Giraffidae}}, and/or fantastical beings, such as the {{wp|Centaurs}}, the {{wp|Sleipnir}}, the {{wp|Qilin}}, the {{wp|Uchchaihshravas}} or the {{wp|Longma}}. The [[Pokédex]] entry that states Arceus shaped the world with its multiple arms may also reference or be inspired by the many-armed {{wp|Bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} in {{wp|Buddhism}} or by the many-armed {{wp|Hecatoncheires}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus has a form for each of the eighteen [[type]]s, which it can [[Type change|change into]] while holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]] until February 14, 2009, the year of its [[M12|debut movie]]. It was later officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is the creator of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[lake guardians]], and the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. Known as the '''Original One''' (Japanese: '''そのもの''' ''Sono mono'', "the very being") in [[Sinnoh myths]], it was worshiped in ancient times by the people of [[Hisui]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{Ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Sinn'ō-sama'').

{{ga|Arceus}} plays a central role in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, serving as the game's titular character and a key figure in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]]]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically striated underside. The striated pattern also appears on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes, red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, which points upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four green jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly continues past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is similar to its mane in terms of shape and coloration. It is is capable of flight.

[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|200px|right|Arceus recreating the {{pkmn|egg}} of one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
According to [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|mythology]], a single [[Pokémon Egg]] emerged from a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness predating the [[Pokémon universe]]. Arceus hatched from this egg and shaped the universe using its 1,000 arms, including the Sinnoh (then known as [[Hisui]]) and [[Ransei]] [[region]]s. It also created the eggs from which the [[Pokémon of myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, hatched from, and can recreate these eggs if it wants to. It is the oldest Pokémon in existence; as such, it is referred to as "Original One" in folklore. Arceus banished Giratina to the [[Distortion World]] due to its violent nature, and gave the lake guardians the power to control and calm either Dialga or Palkia should they be enraged. Like the Pokémon of myth, {{ga|Arceus}} also resides in another dimension, a [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|realm beyond time and space]] itself. There, it appears as a silhouette of golden light. It was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]], stating that "Arceus" is simply the name [[human]]s call it. Both Palkia and Dialga's {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} have body shapes similar to that of Arceus; in the case of a former, this resemblance is believed to be a strategy in order to gain Arceus' powers. The ancient Sinnoh people worshipped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh," "great Sinnoh," and "might of Sinnoh," with the term "Sinnoh" later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worshipped it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} respectively for Arceus. In ancient myths, it is said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contains the power of Arceus itself.

[[Professor Laventon]] describes Arceus as "the heavenly fount from which pours the light that shines across Hisui" and the protector of all Pokémon. As shown in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus was known to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times, protecting the world from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion to those who treated it with kindness. At the same time, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly; it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived and holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In modern times, Arceus continues to watch over the world and wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it only gives hints on how to solve problems instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light, making them bigger and more powerful, as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is passed down through family lines, as seen with the descendants of the hero's Pokémon: the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|ride Pokémon}} worshiped by the people of [[Hisui]].

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', Arceus is portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. In said movie, using its [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]], it created the [[Jewel of Life]], a powerful artifact capable of turning a [[Michina Town|desolate land]] into a rich and fertile one. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown to be able to stop the destruction caused by a space-time void. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. Arceus also has the power to split in two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its realm. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus transformed a normal cellphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus also has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges, as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[sync stone ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[arc suit]]s. As a result, their [[sync pair]] is blessed as well, granting them a {{DL|Sync move|Divine moves|divine move}} over their normal [[sync move]].

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}. It is also able to use charged-up versions of the Pokémon of myth's signature moves ({{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}), as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

Through its Multitype Ability, Arceus can change its type at will by holding one of its [[Plate]]s or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. This causes its eyes, underbelly, face, hooves, snout, gems, and cross-like wheel to change color to match its current type. In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it is also said to feed off the energy of its Plates.

In [[Alola]], the [[Aether Foundation]] gathered Arceus's data from myths and legends told in [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] who was initially named {{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}. Equipped with the {{a|RKS System}}, an Ability that allows it to simulate Arceus's Multitype through [[Memory|memories]], it was developed during the [[Beast killer project]] to protect Alola from the [[Ultra Beast]]s. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, and Type: Full's Ability was sealed with a control helmet, which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed Type: Null. [[Gladion]] eventually discovered it and renamed it {{p|Silvally}}, with their newfound bond allowing it to reawaken its dormant powers.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy-type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into a Normal-type Pokémon in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. All of its forms are named simply "Arceus" in the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], Arceus will be present in its Water, Electric or Fire-type form, depending on the game, as Plates do not exist. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only its Normal-type form is available, with Multitype serving a different function.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus would stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic with its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their [[Pokémon multiverse#Pokémon Journeys: The Series|alternate world]] counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}. Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set, which were printed with a rule that allows players to have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the highest base stat total of any Pokémon in its base form.
** Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
** Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 720.
* Arceus holding the [[Sky Plate]] is the first Pokémon to be pure {{type|Flying}}, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon. {{p|Tornadus}} would later be introduced as the first Pokémon to be pure Flying in its default form.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Flying-type Arceus and Tornadus are the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] via a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the [[Ability]] RKS System.
[[File:Space Globe artwork S.png|thumb|150px|Space Globe]]
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* Ever since Arceus's debut, certain aspects of the Pokémon series have made use of its iconography.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Space Globe]] (Japanese: じくうのオーブ ''Space-Time Orb'') is an item that is described as the ultimate globe that holds the power to pass through space and time. It resembles Arceus's attached wheel and can be found on a statue of Arceus.
** According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
*** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, swapping their usual white to a light gold.
** The name of the Ability RKS System is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
*** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has sometimes been [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|treated]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of {{g|Masters EX}}.
** The official English website of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon as of September 28, 2021.<ref>Archive of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] official website ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210818132639/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ August 18, 2021]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20210928190642/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ September 28, 2021])</ref> On the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]], as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to narrate the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* Arceus was the only Pokémon first introduced during the DPt era of the Japanese [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the international TCG, Arceus and [[Shaymin (TCG)|Shaymin]] were both introduced in the Platinum series. 
* The [[origin mark]] for Legends: Arceus [[File:Arceus mark.png|30px]] and the symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolArceus.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png|30px]] resemble Arceus's rings.
* Arceus's {{Type|Fairy}} form is the only Pokémon introduced after [[Generation IV]] to exist in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus is the only Pokémon that can be registered in the player's [[Pokédex]] and have a [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)#Research level|research level]] of 0 at the same time.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus also appears to draw significant inspiration from {{wp|Classical Greece}}, evident in the (putative) onomastic nod to {{wp|Zeus}}, ruler of Mount Olympus; in the ancient Greek style settings that frequently frame its epiphanies, such as rows of classical columns, stepped stone platforms, and straight processional approaches typical of Greek sanctuaries; and in the Classical Greek styling favored by Arceus devotees such as {{wp|Volo}}, with tunic-like layering and a {{wp|himation}}-like draped cloak. Its cosmogonic emergence “from an egg” resonates with the {{wp|Orphic Egg}} and the birth of {{wp|Phanes|Phanes/Protogonos}}, as well as the broader {{wp|World egg}} motif found across numerous creation myths. The gold, cross-spoked ring fused around a white, near-abstract body operates as a built-in nimbus or solar crown in the manner of {{wp|Helios}} or a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a widespread religious icon used to denote holy, divine, or sacred figures and, at various periods, rulers, heroes, and saints. The triadic delegation of domains (time, space, distortion) parallels the classical division of realms among Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, while Giratina’s banishment functions as a {{wp|Tartarus|Tartarean}} containment of rebellious force.

Based on its appearance and attack animations, Arceus may be modeled on a variety of animals, such as members of {{wp|Equidae}}, {{wp|Camelidae}}, or {{wp|Giraffidae}}, and/or fantastical beings, such as the {{wp|Centaurs}}, the {{wp|Sleipnir}}, the {{wp|Qilin}}, the {{wp|Uchchaihshravas}} or the {{wp|Longma}}. The [[Pokédex]] entry that states Arceus shaped the world with its multiple arms may also reference or be inspired by the many-armed {{wp|Bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} in {{wp|Buddhism}} or by the many-armed {{wp|Hecatoncheires}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

Animated series character recycling

2026-01-16T20:33:54Z

SpaceDimentio: /* Cherry */ less counting for the reader

{{incomplete}}
'''Character recycling''' is a term used when a single visual design for the [[Pokémon animated series]] is used in multiple episodes for different, unrelated characters, usually [[Character of the day|characters of the day]].

'''Astrid''' (Japanese: '''アヤカ''' ''Ayaka'') is a minor recurring character in {{aniseries|XY}}. She is a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who possesses a [[Key Stone]] and an [[Absolite]]. She wears her Key Stone as an earring on her right ear.

==In animation==
Astrid debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. She met up with [[Alain]] and started a battle with him. When Alain sent out his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, she noticed it wore a Mega Stone around its neck. Before Astrid sent out her Pokémon, she asked Alain for his name and then introduced herself. She sent out her {{p|Absol}}, which she considers to be her strongest Pokémon. After having Charizard block an attack, Alain complimented Astrid on her Absol. After this, he proposed to show each other's true power, and they proceeded to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.

[[File:Astrid Key Stone.png|thumb|left|250px|Astrid's Key Stone]]
Even though Mega Absol managed to hold on for a while by blocking Mega Charizard X's attacks, it proved to be no match for its sheer power. Astrid congratulated her Mega Absol after it managed to withstand a powerful {{m|Dragon Claw}} and a {{m|Flamethrower}}. When Astrid had Mega Absol use {{m|Dark Pulse}}, Alain had his Mega Charizard X counter it with a {{m|Blast Burn}}. This proved to be too much for Mega Absol, who fell down and reverted to its regular form, defeated. Even though it lost, Astrid reassured her Absol it fought well. Afterwards she was approached by Alain, who hoped to fight her once again in the future.

In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Astrid battled {{Ash}} at [[Avignon Town]]. After a fierce match, she won the battle using her Mega Absol. Afterwards, {{an|Bonnie}} tried to ask her to marry {{an|Clemont}}, but was quickly pulled away by her embarrassed big brother.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Astrid competed in the [[Lumiose Conference]]. During the opening reception, she was shown talking with [[Titus]] and [[Remo]]. At the end of the episode, she was shown to have won her first battle and advanced to the second round. In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', she managed to reach the quarterfinals, where she was pitted against Ash for their second battle. She was defeated by him, however, after his Hawlucha managed to avoid a Psycho Cut and strike down Mega Absol with a decisive Flying Press, placing her in the Top 8.

|desc={{p|Absol}} is Astrid's main Pokémon. It is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Absol with the help of Astrid's [[Key Stone]] and the [[Absolite]] it holds. Astrid considers Absol to be her strongest Pokémon.

In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', Astrid sent it out to battle [[Alain's Charizard]]. Both Pokémon first blocked each other's attacks, with Alain complimenting Absol for how strong it was. Alain proposed to Astrid to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, and so she did. It quickly became apparent that Mega Absol was no match for Mega Charizard X's sheer power, even though it managed to withstand a {{m|Dragon Claw}} and a {{m|Flamethrower}}. When Mega Absol tried to use Dark Pulse, Alain had his Mega Charizard X quickly counter it with {{m|Blast Burn}}, which completely overwhelmed Mega Absol. It fell down and reverted back to its regular form, defeated. Even though it lost, Astrid reassured Absol it fought well.

In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Absol was the last Pokémon Astrid used in her battle against {{Ash}}. Ash brought out his {{AP|Hawlucha}} to battle it. Right after it was called out, Astrid Mega Evolved it. Hawlucha attacked with a {{m|High Jump Kick}}, but Mega Absol countered this with Shadow Claw. Hawlucha tried using {{m|Karate Chop}}, but Mega Absol swiftly dodged this and then jumped on the roof of the nearby castle and used Dark Pulse from a distance. This completely overpowered Hawlucha, and he was knocked out.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', Absol competed with its Trainer in the [[Lumiose Conference]]. In one of the rounds, it defeated an {{p|Amoonguss}}. In the quarterfinals, it went up against Ash's Hawlucha once more. It unleashed a Psycho Cut, which was avoided before Absol was defeated by Hawlucha's powerful Flying Press, causing Astrid to be eliminated from the League.

Absol's known moves are {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, and {{m|Shadow Claw}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Astrid's design is based on the female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Trainer class from {{pkmn|X and Y}}.
* Astrid owns the only two Pokémon introduced in Generation VI that have gender differences.
* Astrid's presence at the [[Lumiose Conference]] marks the first time in which Ash battles with an opponent who he has [[M17|already faced]] in a {{pkmn2|movie}}.
* In the [[Pokémon in Germany|German]] dub, her name is changed to Anabelle as not to clash with [[Olympia]], whose name is Astrid in that language.
** A similar thing occurs in the [[Pokémon in Spain|Castilian Spanish]] dub, although it keeps the English name instead of renaming her.

'''Annihilape''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コノヨザル''' ''Konoyozaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Primeape}} when [[level]]ed up after using {{m|Rage Fist}} twenty times. It is the final form of {{p|Mankey}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Annihilape fist.png|250px|thumb|left|Annihilape increasing the size of its unshackled arm]]
Annihilape is a simian Pokémon with a round body that is situated on two thin legs with black shackles around its ankles. It is covered in shaggy grey fur that streams upward and fades to white as it seems to evaporate. Its shaggy ear fur usually hangs down but tends to stream upwards while Annihilape is in battle. Unlike Primeape and Mankey, Annihilape's skin is a dark grey. The metal shackle on its left arm is broken while it appears to have no shackle at all on the right arm. It is also able to greatly increase the size of its unshackled arm. Annihilape has three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. There are multiple throbbing veins on the left side of its face, with a large pink pig-like snout as well. Its eyes are red as if the creature were in an extreme rage.

Annihilape evolved from {{p|Primeape}} when the rage in its soul became too much for its physical form to contain; it gained increased power as a result of its spirit no longer being limited by the flesh. The evolution of Annihilape is said to occur when Primeape repeatedly uses Rage Fist multiple times with enough force to burst the blood vessels in its head. The rage that was bubbling inside fills its punches with force that frightens its targets to their core.

Annihilape and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Primeape}}, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Rage Fist}}.

===Evolution===
Annihilape evolves from {{p|Primeape}} and is the final form of {{p|Mankey}}.

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

==Trivia==
*This Pokémon shares its name, likely by coincidence, with a Marvel comic book character.<ref>https://intothespiderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Annihilape</ref>
===Origin===
Similar to its pre-Evolutions, Annihilape seems to take inspiration from primates, particularly {{wp|Barbary macaques in Gibraltar|Gibraltar barbary macaques}}, but it could also take inspiration from {{wp|snub-nosed monkey}}s, {{wp|Japanese macaque}}s, {{wp|Southern pig-tailed macaque}}s, and {{wp|baboon}}s, sharing with the latter the pig-like nose, proportions, and propensity for rage.

Its general concept and added {{type|Ghost}} may have been inspired by {{p|Primeape}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, which states that Primeape can become so angry that it dies as a result. Additionally, it seems to be inspired by {{wp|onryō}}, vengeful spirits from Japanese folklore. It may take additional inspiration from the {{wp|Basajaun}}, a hairy apelike being from Basque folklore.

====Name origin====
Annihilape may be a combination of ''annihilate'' and ''ape''.

Konoyozaru may be a combination of この世を去る ''kono yo o saru'' (to leave this world; to die) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

Draft talk:Eternal Flower Floette

SpaceDimentio: /* About the merge */

== About the merge ==

So, when the page on this character is mainspaced, we'll need to merge it with the [[User:Relicant/AZ's Floette|existing draft]] to make sure that history isn't lost. Now that we have an almost complete page here, I think all we'd really need to do is take the important context written before ZA existed from the above userspace page and add it to this page. It's very filled out! Once that happens we can initiate mainspacing the pages and conduct the merge. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:16, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

::Editing the previous draft makes it harder because it creates conflicting edits.

''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:58, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
:::I see some edits were already made. It makes it more complicated with more steps, but we'll still be able to complete the merge; we will most likely need to leave some contributions deleted to maintain readability in the page history.

::::Sorry again for the inconvenience, I didn't know there was already a draft when I started (I didn't see it when I checked for one). I'm not very experienced with tables and I didn't want to accidentally mess up the other draft so I just finished it up to get some experience and was gonna copy it over when I was off work again in a few days.
::::The game data section is copied from the Floette page and heavily edited to remove the regular Floette stuff, but I commented it out because it looks kind of strange and you can probably just link to that section of the Floette page. Up to you guys if you want it or not.
::::I also did custom colors for the character infobox but couldn't figure out how to change the colors of other boxes to match it, so please be sure they match one way or another.
::::I guess the last thing to be decided is what to call the page. I went with "Eternal Flower Floette" because that's technically its name, it's just that the only known one in existence belongs to AZ. "AZ's Floette" would also work just fine. Either way, a redirect should be set up for the other name.
::::By the way, if I see something I wanna fix and it's in the section that's already been copied over, should I edit it on both pages or just don't touch anything for now? [[User:SpaceDimentio|SpaceDimentio]] ([[User talk:SpaceDimentio|talk]]) 07:25, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shape tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye extensions are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

Eternal Flower Floette is unable to evolve, possibly due to being resurrected and granted eternal life. She is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move [[Light of Ruin]].

===Mega Evolution===
[[File:Spr 9z 0670M.png|thumb|left|150px|Mega Floette's game model]]
Eternal Flower Floette was given a [[Mega Evolution]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tipes. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

===Background===
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|150px|Floette being resurrected]]
Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

===Pokémon X and Y===
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos [[Champion]]. After losing, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.
[[File:AZ holding Floette.png|thumb|right|150px|Floette's reunion with AZ]]
Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

Eternal Flower Floette cannot be legitimately obtained in [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VII|VII]], and [[Generation VIII|VIII]] games, although usable game data exists which can be hacked into Generation VI and VII games. Her base stats are higher than a regular Floette's, she has her own unique cry, and can use the signature move [[Light of Ruin]], which is otherwise unused. She cannot evolve or breed and is unaffected by [[Eviolite]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
5 years later, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer that can Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests for the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde]] cell slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by Zygarde to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. Afterwards, the player aids Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbaine]Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and goes with Urbaine/Taunie to Ange's control room where she Mega Evolves in order to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.
[[File:Hyperrogue Ange Floette.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] move, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbaine/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

===Background===
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}. Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

===Pokémon X and Y===
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos [[Champion]]. After losing, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment. Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

Eternal Flower Floette cannot be legitimately obtained in [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VII|VII]], and [[Generation VIII|VIII]] games, although usable game data exists which can be hacked into Generation VI and VII games. Her base stats are higher than a regular Floette's, she has her own unique cry, and can use the signature move [[Light of Ruin]], which is otherwise unused. She cannot evolve or breed and is unaffected by [[Eviolite]].

5 years later, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve without Trainers]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a trainer that can Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests for the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde]] cell slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are lead by Zygarde to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. Afterwards, the player aids Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].

Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbaine]Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and goes with Urbaine/Taunie to Ange's control room where she Mega Evolves in order to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power boosted [[Light of Ruin]] attack on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its [[Nihil Light]] move, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving the player his Lucario. Floette and Hotel Z are bequeathed to Team MZ. Urbaine/Taunie use Floette against the player in their 15th Infinite Z-A Royale match. Afterwards, Floette is given to the player.

'''Eternal Flower Floette''' (Japanese: '''えいえんのはな''' ''Eternal Flower'') is a unique {{p|Floette}} that appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. She was the friend of [[AZ]], the former king of [[Kalos]], and lived with him in his [[Hotel Z|hotel]].

===Appearance===
Floette is a small humanoid Pokémon that floats and carries a flower like a parasol. Instead of legs, she has a spade-shape tail. She has two tassels or ears on the sides of her head, which resemble pigtails ending in heart shapes and which sprout from thick rings resembling hair ties. She also has two narrow leaves extending upwards from the tops of her eyes, resembling a single long eyelash. Her body is white as is usual for Floette, but unlike other Floette, her lower torso, tail, and eye extensions are a royal blue color instead of green. Her pigtail rings are also red instead of yellow.

Her flower is the Eternal Flower, which went extinct in ancient times. The Eternal Flower has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil. The flower is said to harbor terrifying power and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]].

Eternal Flower Floette is unable to evolve, possibly due to being resurrected and granted eternal life. She is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move [[Light of Ruin]].

===Mega Evolution===
[[File:Spr 9z 0670M.png|thumb|left|150px|Mega Floette's game model]]
Eternal Flower Floette was given a [[Mega Evolution]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. Floette's body remains the same, but the Eternal Flower changes significantly. It becomes much larger, and the stem gains a braided appearance, with the end wrapping around Floette's lower body. The top of the stem extends out into three smaller branches which support the inner petals. The flower loses its sepals, replaced by three jagged stigmata ending in blue tipes. The petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims.

After absorbing Mega Evolution energy, the flower has developed a will of its own and can attack by itself. Mega Floette is the only one capable of controlling [[Ange]], a machine AZ created to bestow eternal life. Mega Floette also has the ability to envelope herself in a shimmering bubble, using it to transport herself and [[humans]].

==In the core game series==
===Background===
Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being given eternal life. Gifted to AZ by his late mother, she was conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died. Her body was given to AZ, and, out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine that would restore her to life. The machine was powered by the [[Infinity Energy|energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}. Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 1,000 years after the war, AZ was approached and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it lay dormant for another 2,000 years.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Absol can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms:
* '''Mega Absol''' using the [[Absolite]].
* '''Mega Absol Z''' using the [[Absolite Z]].

Mega Absol Z was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Astrid Absol Megahorn.png|left|200px|thumb|Absol expanding its horn]]
Absol is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily white wolf-like body with some dark blue coloration. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. Between the dark fur, the curvature of the white fur on its head, and the positioning of its horn, Absol's face vaguely resembles a wu wei symbol. It has a humanoid face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a scythe-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and dewclaw-like spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. It walks with a pacing gait like that of a bear.

Absol lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} far from civilization, and it rarely ventures down from its alpine home. Using its horn, Absol is able to sense even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict when a disaster will occur and will try to warn people when one is approaching. In addition to its divination powers, Absol's horn can be {{m|Megahorn|extended and used in battle}}. Absol is also known to protect fields from natural disasters as well. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. The hatred for Absol was started years ago by superstitions surrounding about it. Despite this, others are interested in its ability to predict disaster. Absol has been referred to as a ''bringer of doom''. Absol can move as swiftly as the wind. Absol is said to have a lifespan of up to 100 years. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], the powers of Absol's horn remains active even when it sleeps. Due to this, Absol can strongly detect danger even when not awake.

===Forms===
Absol has 2 Mega Evolved forms: Mega Absol and Mega Absol Z.

====Mega Absol====
Absol can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Absol.

As Mega Absol, its fur is longer overall, and the increased energy coursing through its body makes the fur at the back of its mane stand on end so that it appears to have wings.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/</ref> The spikes on its heels and elbows grow larger, and the fur in these areas becomes longer as well. Its sickle-shaped horn widens, while an additional, smaller horn appears on the opposite side of its head. Its tail now has a more saw-like shape, and the oval marking on its forehead is now a rounded triangle.

Mega Absol emits a fearsome aura that has been known to kill fainthearted people from shock. It directs this aura at its opponents by beating its "wings", which are not capable of flight. However, Absol apparently detests assuming this form, as it normally dislikes fighting in the first place. Mega Absol can create wind attacks to launch at foes and dark shockwaves around itself.

====Mega Absol Z====
As Mega Absol Z, its white fur turns dark blue, and fur on the left side of its head grows longer, covering its left eye. Its formerly dark blue skin turns a grey-blue shade. The oval marking on its forehead turns into the same rounded triangle that its other Mega Evolution has. Its sickle-shaped horn transforms into a more angular, z-like shape. The additional small horn on its head, spikes on the back of its legs, and its tail are also more angular than those found on Mega Absol. Its claws are notably more straight and appear sharper than its other Mega Evolved form. Three small tufts of fur on the left side behind the ruff on its neck are tipped with a red color. One of the most notable differences can be seen in the large dark blue and red tuft of fur on its right side, which Mega Absol Z can manipulate into clawlike shapes.

Using the fur that it has made into sharp, clawlike shapes, Mega Absol Z cuts down its foes with a single blow as an act of kindness, preventing any prolonged suffering.

[[File:Goh Absol.png|thumb|250px|Absol in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Astrid Mega Absol.png|thumb|250px|Mega Absol in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Absol]]=====
In ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]'', [[Goh]] caught an Absol to save it from being hit by an eruption of boiling water on [[Mt. Chimney]]. It has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|JN}}.

=====Other=====
Absol debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it showed up to take {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were initially led to believe, and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its animated series debut in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', {{OBP|Mollie|AG167}} used an Absol during the second round of the [[Gardenia Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. It battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

In ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', [[Drew]] revealed he {{pkmn2|caught}} and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. It was first used in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]]. In ''[[AG182|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', it and {{p|Flygon}} were used during a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] against {{an|May}}, who used {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded four Absol to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', [[Astrid]] used an Absol that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Absol against [[Alain]] and {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, but it was defeated. In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', it was used in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Hawlucha}}, which resulted in Absol winning. In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', it had a rematch with {{p|Hawlucha}} during the [[Lumiose Conference]], which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} used an Absol to battle [[Diantha]] and her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's {{m|Moonblast}}.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}-possessed {{an|Lusamine}} ordered her Absol to attack Ash and {{ashcl}}. {{an|Gladion}} stayed to battle Absol with his Pokémon before Nihilego was defeated.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] captured an Absol after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', the [[Pokédex]] image of an Absol was displayed.

Three Absol appeared in a picture in ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}

Absol appeared in ''[[GRT4|Battle in a Bitter Cold Land!!]]''.

It then helps Ginji and {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}} in their battle against {{p|Articuno}}. It appears again in ''[[GRT6|Tears and Emotions - It's the Final Chapter!]]'' where it, along with several other Pokémon, help Ginji, Mudkip, [[Team A.C.T.|Tyranitar, Charizard, and Alakazam]] defeat {{p|Groudon}}.

==Trivia==
* Mega Absol Z has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{t|Dark}}- and {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Absol's appearances in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:
** In its debut in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, it appears on {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, shortly before the [[Blue Orb]]{{sup/3|R}}/[[Red Orb]]{{sup/3|S}} is stolen from [[Mt. Pyre]] by [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}.
*** Notably, Absol's Pokédex entries in these games specify that it can sense natural disasters, such as those caused by {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} when they're awakened by the aforementioned [[villainous team]]s.
** In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Absol appears on {{rt|213|Sinnoh}}, which is close to [[Lake Valor]], which was drained by Team Galactic.
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, Absol appears on [[Mount Coronet|Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to the [[Spear Pillar]], before Giratina is released by Team Galactic.
** In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers, and {{rt|13|Unova}}, 13 being known as an unlucky number. {{game3|Black and White|Two years later|s 2}}, the Giant Chasm is where Team Plasma makes their stand.
** In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Absol can be found in [[Tapu Village]], which was destroyed years earlier by {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.
** In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Absol can be found in the [[Altru Building]] and [[Altru Tower]], from which [[Team Dim Sun]] plans to take control of all Pokémon in the region.
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Absol is the subject of the first [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] the player encounters. This very same Absol also joins the player after being saved and is the only Pokémon affected by Rogue Mega Evolution to do so. Another Absol is also the very first Rogue Mega Evolution encountered in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol is the only non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* Absol and {{p|Togepi}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.
* Mega Absol Z is the only Z Mega Evolution to gain another type when it Mega Evolves.
* Due to Mega Absol Z being introduced after the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}}, Mega Absol Z is the only Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon to never have had no weaknesses at one point.
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Absol}}
Absol may be based on the {{wp|Bai Ze}} (白澤) of {{wp|Chinese mythology}}, whose name literally translates to "white marsh." It is generally described as a white beast, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. Considered to be an intelligent beast, Bai Ze is gifted with the ability to understand human speech and the knowledge on the forms and habits of 11,520 types of supernatural creatures in the world. In legend, Bai Ze shared its knowledge to the Yellow Emperor, which was subsequently compiled in a book called ''Bai Ze Tu''. Few of its supposed fragments survive today. In Japan, it is known as the ''hakutaku'' (白沢) and is said to resemble a cat or lion. In a related legend, a similar creature known as the ''kutabe'' predicted that a plague would sweep through the {{wp|Toyama Prefecture}} of Japan. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol's forehead.

Absol's head may be modeled after a ''{{wp|Taijitu}}'' symbol. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. Its ruff resembling long human hair and a male lion's mane and the white fur on the top of its head loosely resembling the headpiece of an Egyptian sphinx also suggests this. Its scythe-shaped tail and horn resemblance the Western personified depiction of {{wp|Death (personification)|Death}}, who is related to destiny and disaster. It may have also been inspired by the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Its feline appearance and the fact that it is usually seen in mountains resemble the natural behavior of felines such as the {{wp|snow leopard}} and the {{wp|cougar}}.

Mega Absol's wings and elongated fur give it the appearance of an {{wp|angel}}, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above. It also resembles a {{wp|lamassu}}, an Assyrian creature with a human's head, wings, and sometimes with the body of a lion. The lamassu was a protective spirit, much like how Absol attempts to warn people of danger.

Mega Absol Z's darker design, as well as its newfound Ghost type, emphasize Absol's resemblance to Western depictions of Death. Its design being similar to Mega Absol, which has a more angelic appearance, might allude to the concept of [[wp:Personifications_of_death#In_Abrahamic_religions|angels of death]] such as [[wp:Azrael|Azrael]].

====Name origin====
Absol may be derived from ''absolute'' or ''{{wp|absolution}}'' (setting free from guilt), as well as 危ない ''abunai'' (dangerous) and possibly 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous) or 恐る ''osoru'' (to fear). It may also be a combination of the Latin prefix ''ab-'' (away from) and ''sol'' (Latin for sun).

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルタリス''' ''Tyltalis'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swablu}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Altaria can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Altaria''' using the [[Altarianite]]. Mega Altaria was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Altaria is a blue, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue, with four toes, three claws forward, and one backward. The tail comprises five feathers, the outer two longer than the inner ones.

This Pokémon uses its wings to catch updrafts and soar across the sky calmly and gracefully. It gracefully glides through the clouds, often while singing or humming in a soprano voice. Its voice seems to have special properties that induce a dreamy state for listeners. Altaria can be very affectionate, enveloping people it has bonded with in its cotton-like wings. While normally kind, Altaria can attack foes with shrill cries without mercy if provoked. As shown in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Altaria's beak is strong enough to shatter boulders. According to [[Solana]] in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis!]]'', Altaria uses geomagnetic fields to navigate their flight, and any disturbances can affect their sense of direction. Altaria is often found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it also inhabits mountain ranges. Altaria has been shown to enjoy water in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the {{Trading Card Game}}, although if its wings are exposed to too much of it, they lose their fluffiness, revealing their actual anatomy. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Altaria is known to sleep while wrapped inside its wings. While sleeping in its soft, beautiful wings, Altaria may be enjoying the most comfortable sleep ever.

===Forms===
Altaria can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Altaria.

Mega Altaria has more extensive cloud-like plumage, with a large, fluffy mass extending from its back. The feathers have grown as a self-protective measure and glimmer with an iridescent sheen. Its cottony wings are more distinct than its base form, and its blue belly is now exposed. Additional fluff surrounds its neck like a collar, and its head is adorned with a hat-like crest. A single, small feather curls out from its forehead, though its facial features are unchanged. Its tail feathers have grown into a long, wavy streamer with three longer central plumes.

Mega Altaria's singing voice is even more beautiful than its regular form. By singing its beautiful melodies, Mega Altaria's crystal-clear voice can make its listeners experience a dreamy wonderment.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1967996909672407224 | Pokémon Official X Account]</ref> It is known for its pleasant personality and is not timid.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-altaria Mega Altaria]</ref> Mega Altaria's {{wp|Down feather|down}} is so soft that it seems as though just one touch can melt it. In reality, the down is so strong that just a few strands of it could be used to lift a dump truck.

==Trivia==
* Altaria is the only {{type|Dragon|Dragon-type}} Pokémon that evolves from a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon whose pre-Evolution and [[Mega Evolution]] do not share any types.
* No other Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|same type combination]] as Mega Altaria.
** Mega Altaria is also the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
*In [[Pokémon Sleep]], due to dual-type Pokémon being retooled into single-type Pokémon, Altaria was classified as a pure Dragon-type, and consequently was the only Dragon-type Pokémon to be available in the game at launch; more Dragon-type Pokémon, such as {{P|Dratini}} and {{P|Bagon}}, would be introduced to the game later on.
* Altaria and the {{p|Applin}} family require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the least of all Dragon-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Altaria appears to be primarily inspired by a {{wp|Bluebird}}. Its Dragon typing and the elongated body it gains after evolution may also suggest influence from {{wp|Chinese dragons}}. In Chinese culture, dragons, much like bluebirds, bear associations with auspiciousness and good fortune. Another possible motif is the traditional connection between Chinese dragons and clouds, where {{wp|Feilong|flying dragons}} are frequently depicted soaring through or riding upon them.

Altaria may also be based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers. Altaria may also resemble a {{wp|cockatiel}}, albeit with clouds as wings. Similar characteristics shared with cockatiels include its crest and cheek spots. The resemblance is further expanded upon by Altaria's {{Shiny}} form resembling a {{wp|lutino cockatiel}}, which is famous for its mostly white and yellow coloration.

The shape of the fluff on Mega Altaria's head may draw inspiration from {{wp|dutch cap}}s or {{wp|ushanka}}s.

====Name origin====
Altaria may be a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high''; musical {{wp|Part (music)|part}} between tenor and soprano) and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''; musical piece for a single voice). Both words being terminologies used in music relate to Altaria's singing abilities. The name may also refer to the star ''{{wp|Altair}}'' (named after the Arabic phrase Al-Nisr Al-Ṭa'ir, "the flying eagle")<ref>https://www.dictionary.com/browse/altair</ref>, the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for eagle; or the former name of the star {{wp|Delta Draconis}}, ''Altais'', a yellow star in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for dragon.

Tyltalis may be derived from チルット ''Tyltto'' ({{p|Swablu}}) and ''alis'' (Latin for wings). It may also be a reference to the play ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'' (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}, featuring two siblings named ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'' tasked in finding the {{wp|bluebird of happiness}}. The latter half of the name may be derived from ''{{wp|cockatrice}}'', a mythical creature with a draconic or serpentine body and a rooster's head. It may also involve チル ''chiru'' ({{wp|Ryukyuan languages|Ryukyuan}} for crane) or ''Tyl'' (alternate name of the star {{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}, located in the constellation Draco) and ''Altais'' (former name of the star Delta Draconis, also located in the constellation Draco).

[[File:XY Super Music Collection front.png|300px|thumb|Xerneas and Yveltal on the cover of the [[Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection]], by [[Yusuke Ohmura]]]]
'''Aura trio''' (Japanese: '''カロス{{Ruby|神話|しんわ}}''' ''Kalos myths'') is a fan term for a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal reside in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], while Zygarde's [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] and [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] are said to be scattered all over the {{pkmn|world}}.

Xerneas and Yveltal are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|X and Y}}, respectively. As a game mascot, Xerneas is depicted in Active Mode.

The three species are representative of life and the ecosystem. Xerneas spent a thousand years sleeping in the form of a tree before reviving and sharing eternal life. Yveltal absorbs the {{DL|Death in the Pokémon world|life-force}} of all living things and turns into a cocoon when its life comes to an end. Zygarde awakens when the natural order of the ecosytem is disrupted. Zygarde's Complete Forme is known to surpass the power of both Xerneas and Yveltal. Xerneas is {{pkmn|category|categorized}} as the Life Pokémon and has the [[Ability]] {{a|Fairy Aura}}, while Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, has the Ability {{a|Dark Aura}}. Zygarde, categorized as the Order Pokémon, has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, reversing the effects of the Fairy and Dark Auras. Stylistically, they are representative of the Latin letters of X, Y, and Z.

==History and myths==
A legend says Xerneas and Yveltal are great forces, being capable of giving and stealing life energy respectively. Xerneas shares life by glowing its horns in seven colors, while Yveltal's feathers near the gray pattern on its chest glow when it is about to steal life energy. When they are at the end of their lifespan, Xerneas releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it, while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life energy of every living thing around it. Afterwards, they transform into a tree and a cocoon respectively, to sleep for 1,000 years. Zygarde Cells are always monitoring the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde comes to unleash its wrath. These three Pokémon, according to [[Professor Sycamore]], are "incarnations of nature that take care of the land". Research conducted by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]] indicates that Xerneas and Yveltal possess mysterious abilities to manipulate and control [[Infinity Energy|life]], which science has yet to fully understand.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> In Pokémon X and Y, there are two legends involving Xerneas and Yveltal as told by a Monsieur in [[Anistar City]] depending on which version.

According to one tale in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], Xerneas used its shining horns to brighten the [[Kalos]] region 800 years ago. During that very moment, both humans and Pokémon were filled with the energy and vitality unleashed by Xerneas. At the same moment, a vast forest was born with Xerneas at the center of it. This legend foretold that when Xerneas reaches the end of its thousand-year lifespan, Xerneas will unleash its remaining life energy and share it with any living things that are near it. A second legend suggests Xerneas appeared 3,000 years ago during a terrible war that engulfed the Kalos region and supposedly rescued every Pokémon that was wounded during the course of it, but it is unknown if this is true. After releasing its remaining energy, Xerneas transformed into a dried-up tree. It has since remained hidden deep within the forest slumbering.

According to one tale in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], Yveltal engulfed the [[Kalos]] region in darkness 800 years ago by spreading its ominous wings. Throughout the land, both humans and Pokémon begin to die one by one due to Yveltal's darkness. Afterward, Yveltal lets out a piercing cry before disappearing to an unknown location. The stories say that when Yveltal reaches the end of its thousand-year lifespan, it absorbs the lifeforce of all living things near it in order to transform its own energy. A second legend claimed Yveltal appeared during a terrible war that the Kalos region was in 3,000 years ago. The story claimed a Pokémon appeared during the war and drained the life force out of many living beings, killing them in the process. Some believed the Pokémon was supposedly Yveltal, but it is unknown if this is true. Apparently, when Yveltal finishes storing the life force it obtained, it will transform into a cocoon-like state. There it remains hidden deep within the mountains.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, a legend told in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' says that a long time ago, an oracle named [[Olympica]], had made a prediction that the Yveltal would absorb the life form of all living things. The village's chief decided to send out a man named [[Jan (XYS05)|Jan]] to find and defeat Yveltal, however, the chief's daughter and Jan's lover, [[Aila]], was deeply worried and tried to stop him, but he promised her he'd defeat the Destruction Pokémon. Suddenly however, Yveltal appears and starts fighting Jan, turning the bodies of his {{p|Talonflame}} and Aila into stone by using its {{m|Oblivion Wing}}. Afterwards, Yveltal goes into its cocoon form and falls into a slumber, sucking all the life around it, leaving the area completely devoid of life. Olympica eventually tells Jan about Yveltal's counterpart, Xerneas and instructs him to find it.

Eventually, Jan manages to find Xerneas in its tree form being used by the ruler of a small kingdom, [[Veofum]], who angered by failing to control Xerneas's power, orders his advisor to burn the tree. Jan arrives right in time riding his {{p|Gogoat}}, only to be captured by Veofum's men as he pleads the ruler to put out the fire so Xerneas won't suffer. Suddenly however, many Zygarde Cells start becoming visible around them and then all combine into 50% Form Zygarde to save Xerneas and protect the ecosystem, using {{m|Land's Wrath}} to punish the people and destroy their kingdom, before returning to its cells form. Afterwards, Xerneas returns to its neutral form and leaves as Jan begs it to heal his homeland.

Jan returned in sadness to his homeland to protect it and moves the statue of his lover somewhere else, before encountering Xerneas there once again, that uses its power to heal the lifeless land, returning it to its original glory, but there was nothing it could do for Aila's petrified state, who'd be taken care of by Jan as years passed by. Professor Sycamore believes that both Xerneas and Yveltal are incarnations of nature that take care of the land but when the natural order is undone, Zygarde appears to balance it.

==Moveset comparison==
Xerneas's signature move is {{m|Geomancy}}, a non-damaging Fairy-type move that charges on the first turn. On the second turn, it causes Xerneas's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed to increase by two stages. Yveltal's signature move is {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, a damage-dealing Flying-type move that inflicts damage on the target and restores the user's HP by 75% of the damage dealt. Zygarde's signature moves are {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, and {{m|Thousand Waves}}, damage-dealing Ground-type moves, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}, a damage-dealing Dragon-type move.

==Similar base stats==
Contrary to most Legendary trios, Xerneas and Yveltal share exactly the same base stat distribution. Although Zygarde 10% and 50% Forme have lower base stats than the other two, its Complete Forme has higher base stats.

==In the core series games==
===[[Pokémon X and Y]]===
Prior to the events of the game, [[Team Flare]] captured Xerneas{{Sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{Sup/6|Y}} in its dormant form and took it to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] in [[Geosenge Town]], where they used the powers of the Legendary Pokémon to power the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]]. As the player attempts to stop Team Flare, Xerneas{{Sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{Sup/6|Y}} awakens from its slumber and battles the player. The Pokémon is required to be captured to progress the game. A Zygarde in its 50% Forme appears in [[Terminus Cave]]. Zygarde 50% Forme was the only known form, and was unnamed at the time of this Pokémon's debut.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]===
In [[Alola Route 16|Route 16]]'s [[Aether Base]], [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] gives the player a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the task to find all ninety-five [[Zygarde Cell]]s and five [[Zygarde Core]]s scattered throughout [[Alola]]. Using the [[Reassembly Unit]] in the Aether Base, depending on how many Cells the player has, a Zygarde can be assembled. A Zygarde transferred from X and Y can be separated and be reassembled into a new Zygarde.
*With 10 Cells or Cores a Zygarde 10% Forme with {{a|Aura Break}} can be assembled.
*With 50 Cells or Cores a Zyagrde 50% Forme with {{a|Aura Break}} can be assembled.
*With 100 Cells or Cores a Zygarde of either 10% or 50% Forme with {{a|Power Construct}} can be assembled.

===[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]===
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, a 50% Forme Zygarde can be found in [[Resolution Cave]] after becoming Champion. After catching Zygarde, a different Zygarde can be obtained from [[Dexio]] after battling him in the Aether Base on Route 16, receiving the Zygarde Cube. The Reassembly Unit from Sun and Moon returns and can be used in the same way. Xerneas and Yveltal can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]], with Xerneas{{sup/7|US}} in the Rocky World through a green warp hole and Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} in the Cliff World through a red warp hole.

===[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Aura Trio are among the Legendary Pokémon that can be encountered in the [[Max Lair]] at the end of a [[Dynamax Adventure]]. Although {{p|Zygarde}} can appear here in both versions, Xerneas is exclusive to Sword, while Yveltal is exclusive to Shield; however, it is possible to encounter the opposite version's Pokémon by joining the Dynamax Adventure of a player with that version.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ===
The player is challenged multiple times by Zygarde throughout [[Lumiose City]] in an attempt to form an unbreakable bond as preparation for a great crisis. After [[Ange]] is destroyed, Xerneas and Yveltal are attracted by the huge amount of [[Mega Power]] generated by the machine. The Aura trio can be found and captured during [[Main Mission]] 40 through 43 respectively. Xerneas can be encountered in [[Wild Zone 11]] during Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives." Yveltal can be encountered in [[Rouge Sector 2]] during Main Mission 41: "The One That Takes." Zygarde can be encountered in [[Wild Zone 20]] during Main Mission 42: "To Keep the World in Balance." Main Mission 42 can be unlocked by capturing both Xerneas and Yveltal, along with defeating [[Lysandre|L]].

:''Main articles: [[Xerneas (M17)]], [[Yveltal (M17)]], [[Squishy]], and [[Z2]]''
====''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''====
Xerneas and Yveltal both debuted ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' as major characters. In the {{pkmn|movie}}, Diancie had a responsibility as the Princess of the [[Diamond Domain]] to maintain the balance of its ecosystem by making a new Heart Diamond. However, as she lacked the power to create a stable Heart Diamond, she sought help from Xerneas, as its Fairy Aura could revitalize energy.

As Diancie's journey began, she bumped into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who soon decided to accompany Diancie in her pursuit of Xerneas. As the team pursued the Legendary Pokémon, several thieves—[[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], [[Argus Steel]] and [[Millis Steel]]—were also in pursuit of Diancie to take advantage of her ability to create diamonds. The group were able to catch a moment with Xerneas and bathed under its Fairy Aura, as Xerneas told Diancie that Fairy Aura was not what she needed, but there was a power inside her.

The chase led to [[Allearth Forest]] and the group's activity awakened and enraged the Cocoon of Destruction, Yveltal. Yveltal went on a rampage with its {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, petrifying the thieves and their Pokémon. Yveltal eventually gained on the group, continually firing harmful beams that triggered extreme emotions within Diancie, enabling her to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Before [[Ash's Pikachu]] was completely petrified by Yveltal, Xerneas appeared to battle it, and its mere presence was able to quell Yveltal's rage. Yveltal finally flew calmly away from the forest. Soon after, Xerneas used its Fairy Aura to revitalize the forest and revive the Pokémon and people petrified, including Pikachu. Xerneas then transformed into its dormant form to look over Allearth Forest for the next thousand years.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
A Xerneas appeared as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen.
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|left|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
A Zygarde Core, named Squishy, has a major role in the {{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}} arc of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' as a target of Team Flare. It traveled with Ash and his friends in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag for the duration of the arc, bonding with the little girl. Meanwhile, its fellow Zygarde Core, codenamed Z2, was targeted and ultimately captured by Team Flare. At the climax of the series, both Zygarde Cores fell under Team Flare's control and caused devastation around [[Lumiose City]]. Once freed, they joined together into Zygarde Complete Forme to stop the [[Giant Rock]]. Near the end of the series, the two Zygarde Cores recruited [[Ash's Greninja]] to help clean up the aftereffects of the Giant Rock's influence on Kalos.

All three appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====

A {{shiny|White}} Zygarde appeared in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'' in its 10% Forme, under the ownership of [[Gibeon]]. In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', Zygarde was shown to be in its 50% Forme 100 years ago, however, after sacrificing 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] in an attempt to seal away the [[Laquium]], it was forced to stay in its 10% Forme. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Zygarde returned to Laqua with Gibeon and regained its Cells, transforming into its 50% Forme once again.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Xerneas in its Active Mode, and Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]''. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power their [[ultimate weapon]]. Later after being revived from its tree form, Xerneas took on its Neutral Mode. Afterwards, it befriended and was caught by {{adv|Y}} and is nicknamed Xerxer. When Malva arrived and revealed that she had caught Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before Xerosic stopped them, stating that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends.

Later, Xerxer was stolen and taken control of by [[Emma|Essentia]] in [[Anistar City]], where she used it to fight against {{adv|X}} and Y. In the middle of the fight, Zygarde appeared to stop Xerneas. When Zygarde started absorbing power from its surroundings, it let its guard down, allowing Essentia to capture it and escape, though Xerxer was recovered by Y. During the final confrontation against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal fought each other once more, while [[Lysandre]] used Zygarde to battle against {{adv|Blaine}}, {{adv|Mewtwo}}, and X. Meanwhile, Xerneas and Yveltal, knowing that Zygarde was only active due to their own activity alerting it to protect Kalos's ecosystem, chose to return to their dormant states. As a result, Zygarde then gradually disintegrated into small green blobs and disappeared.

Soon after the battle had ended, {{adv|Blue}} and Blaine visited [[Professor Sycamore]] and mentioned to him about seeing a little green silhouette after Zygarde disintegrated into the blobs. Sycamore revealed to them that such green silhouettes, which he dubbed as Zygarde Cells, had also been spotted in the distant region of [[Alola]], and sent [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to investigate them.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In Alola, Dexio and Sina hired {{adv|Sun}} into collecting Zygarde Cells with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. During the climax of the arc, the Cells and Cores collected by Sun used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to combine to form Zygarde Complete Forme, which assisted {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} in the final battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} on [[Mount Lanakila]].

Xerneas and Yveltal appear in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

==Trivia==
* Despite no longer being mandatory story catches, Xerneas and Yveltal have not had their catch rates reduced to the standard 3.
* Each member of the trio has unique distinctions from each other:
** Xerneas is the only member of the trio to be a single [[type]].
** Yveltal is the only member of the trio to not have an alternate [[form]].
** Zygarde is the only member of the trio that:
*** Is not a [[game mascot]] in the [[core series]].
*** Has two [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]].
*** Has multiple [[signature move]]s.
*** To have a [[Mega Evolution]].
*Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots to not be available or transferrable in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. This is likely due to appearing in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
*Collectively, the trio may represent the {{wp|Trimurti|Hindu Trimurti}}, with Xerneas representing {{wp|Brahma}}, the god of creation, Yveltal representing {{wp|Shiva}}, the god of destruction, and Zygarde representing {{wp|Vishnu}}, the god of preservation. Notably, Vishnu is known for taking several different forms while carrying out his job maintaining balance in the world, similar to Zygarde.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]], the three Legendary Pokémon of Kalos are referred to generically as "Kalosian Legends",<ref>''"Kalosian Legends: Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, and Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos region. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> being the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].

'''{{p|Arceus}}''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus''), also known as '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウさま''' ''Shin'ou-sama''), is a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. It is the one who brings the {{player}} from the present day to the [[Hisui]] [[region]], and also serves as the final boss of the game. Arceus is simply the name that [[human]]s call it.

It is said to have created the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], the {{pkmn|world}}, and possibly even the entire {{Pkmn|universe}}.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
In the past, Arceus created the [[Hisui]] [[region]] (starting by [[Mount Coronet]]), the {{pkmn|world}}, and the entire {{pkmn|universe}}, along with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. At some point later, it banished {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]] for its violence. It was worshiped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being known as the "almighty Sinnoh".

After the [[ancient hero]] of legend and his ten Pokémon companions successfully faced it in battle, Arceus gave its blessings to the hero's companions,<ref>[[Mai]]: ''"The Pokémon that graces [[Deertrack Heights]] is one of those honored few. It is directly descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh’s protection."'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> which they used to protect the people and Pokémon of Hisui.<ref>[[Irida]]: ''"The ancestors of Kleavor, Wyrdeer, and their cohort drew on almighty Sinnoh’s own power to protect Pokémon and people alike—so it’s said. It’s by their grace that our clan—that any of us— still lives in vast Hisui today!"'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> These Pokémon's descendants would become the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}. Afterwards, Arceus returned to the [[Hall of Origin]], and its [[Plate]]s were scattered across Hisui.

Following the disappearance of the Celestica people from Hisui, a new group of settlers arrived from across the sea, who adopted the Celesticas' name as their own. They would later become the rivaling [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]], who believed almighty Sinnoh to be either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, respectively. The two clans came to believe that their counterparts worshiped a false god and went to war against each other, with the conflict only ending after both sides became too weak to continue fighting.

===={{g|Legends: Arceus}}====
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus meets {{ga|Rei}}.]]
At the start of the game, Arceus calls out to {{Ga|Rei}}/{{Ga|Akari}}, from within a realm located outside both space and time. This realm is completely absent of anything other than golden rays of light. Arceus asks the player's appearance and name, and after they have done so, it will introduce the setting of the game, much like the opening intros made by professors from other titles. It then tells them that they should seek out all Pokémon, and they will be able to find Arceus again.

Rei/Akari is then seen falling through empty space and loses their smartphone. Suddenly, Arceus, as a glowing white silhouette, appears before the player and transforms their smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. Rei/Akari is later found unconscious on {{DL|Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach}} by [[Professor Laventon]], having been [[Time travel|sent back in time]] by Arceus. Rei/Akari notices the Arc Phone on the ground nearby, and upon inspecting it, reads a message from Arceus: "Seek out all Pokémon." The Arc Phone will beep during certain points of the game, such as opening the caves to each of Hisui's three lakes, as a way for Arceus to help guide the player.

After Rei/Akari has obtained all eighteen [[Plate]]s, Arceus will transform the player's [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. Upon playing it, if they hasn't caught all Pokémon, they will be disappointed to see that nothing has happened. The Arc Phone then begins to beep, with Arceus again prompting Rei/Akari to "Seek out all Pokémon."

Once Rei/Akari has obtained at least one of every Pokémon in Hisui (except for [[Mythical Pokémon]]), the player can return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute once more. This time, a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]]. Rei/Akari enters the area, seeing a large empty space. Arceus then appears and challenges the Rei/Akari to a battle. The Arc Phone becomes an infinite supply of [[Mysterious Balm]]s. Like with the frenzied noble Pokémon, the player must hit Arceus with balms until the gauge fully depletes.

Once Rei/Akari defeats Arceus, it will congratulate the player for successfully seeking out all Pokémon. Wishing to join the player on their journey, it will then grant them a part of itself {{p|Arceus|as a Pokémon}} that they can use in their [[party]], as well as giving them the [[Legend Plate]].

Later, when Rei/Akari returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, the Arc Phone will beep. Arceus will allow the player to have a rematch with {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} (regardless of which one they originally faced) or Arceus itself.

After Rei/Akari completes the Daybreak storyline and catching Arceus, it will call for the player's Arc Phone, requesting them to sleep in their home. In their dream, Arceus will reveal the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]] option for the player to test their skills and luck in a series of endless battles. The challenge ends when they either lose or quit, and Arceus will leave behind various rewards based on the player's performance.

In all battles against Arceus, it will have the Legend Plate active, allowing it to change its type whenever it uses {{m|Judgment}}. During its first battle, it will have zero [[effort level]]s. In all other subsequent matches, it will have the full ten effort levels in all stats.

====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]====
{{Ga|Lucas}}/{{Ga|Dawn}} playing the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], a glowing stairway appears, leading to the [[Hall of Origin]], where they'll encounter Arceus and will be able to battle and catch it.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{main|Arceus (Pokémon)}}
Arceus is a Pokémon who was worshipped by the ancient Sinnoh people, being seen as a deity for having created the world. It is a powerful but elusive being, only showing itself to certain people. It has been known to become distrustful of certain entities, having banished {{p|Giratina}} for acts of violence. It can [[Talking Pokémon|speak and understand human speech]]; in English versions of the [[core series]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it speaks in {{wp|Early Modern English}}.

It often resides in its own [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|realm]] that goes beyond space and time, and can bring people to and from that location. Otherwise, if summoned at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]/[[Spear Pillar]], it will create a staircase to the [[Hall of Origin]] where it can be met. Beyond this, it can transform objects, for example turning the [[Celestica Flute]] into the [[Azure Flute]] and a regular {{wp|smartphone}} into the [[Arc Phone]].

===Appearance===
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|List of Pokémon with form differences → Arceus]]''
Arceus has the ability to change [[type]] using its {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]], changing the colors on its hooves, rings, and face to reflect the new type it takes. At the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus glows with several golden halos around its body, so brightly that its features are obscured, only showing its eyes and a rough outline of its form.

===In battle===

An {{p|Arceus}} is coded to appear here, but was never made accessible. If defeated or run from, it will "disappear from sight", but the Azure Flute can be used to summon it again.

===={{g|Legends: Arceus}}====
;[[Hall of Origin]]
If the player gets too far from Arceus, it'll teleport close to the player and immediately explode.

Arceus has two attack sequences. This is indicated by whether it is glowing blue or red.
* Arceus glows blue in the first sequence.
** First, it will be sending a shock wave blasting outward from itself; simultaneously, a {{m|Draco Meteor|meteor}} will be regularly targeted at the player. This happens six times in a row.
** After a series of these attacks, it will aim six successive {{m|Judgment}} beams at the player.
** Then it will resume a few more series of shock waves and meteors.
** Next, it will form several energy orbs around itself, signaling {{m|Roar of Time|an undodgable blue roar-like attack}}; and at the same time, it will be sending out slower-moving shockwaves. The player can cancel this attack by hitting Arceus with balms, eventually stunning it. Once it is stunned, the player can send out a Pokémon to battle.
* Arceus glows red in the second sequence. It will start this sequence once 25% of its gauge has been depleted, and it will return to the first sequence after its gauge is depleted by 50%.
** First, it will teleport to a far side of the arena and begin charging an attack: the entire stage will start glowing red, except an area around Arceus, and will eventually detonate.
** Next, it {{m|Shadow Force|will disappear completely; and a few seconds later, a crack in space will appear}}, and then quickly emerge from it to charge at the player in a straight line.
** It will then fire six Judgment beams, like in the first phase.
** It will then begin to initiate another special attack, {{m|Spacial Rend|an undodgable pink rending-like attack}} which the player can cancel by hitting it with balms. After this, it will become stunned, and the player can send out a Pokémon to battle. 
Arceus will only transition to the next phase once its current attack within the sequence is finished, or after it's done being stunned. Because of this, it's very common to see Arceus transition back to the first phase at ~75% depletion.

While Arceus does not appear physically, it plays a major role in the [[Arceus Arc]] of the Main Story. It is first seen speaking to {{mas|Rei}} during [[The Echo of a Deity's Voice]] in a similar manner to the [[player character]] at the start of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Later, while [[Professor Bellis]] is presenting her research on [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus speaks to everyone at the stadium, saying "Show me thy bond". {{mas|Volo}} convinces [[Lear]] to hold a tournament for [[sync pair]]s to show Arceus their bonds, which Lear calls the Arceus Cup. During the Arceus Cup, Arceus grants [[arc suit]]s to sync pairs who demonstrate an especially deep bond with their partner Pokémon, with {{mas|Cynthia}}, {{mas|Steven}}, and {{mas|Lance}} being the first recipients.

According to a conversation with {{mas|N}} and {{mas|Iris}}, {{mas|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Giratina}} refuses to talk about Arceus, suggesting a similar grudge that other Giratina have with Arceus.

'''Alfornada''' (Japanese: '''ベイクタウン''' ''Bake Town'') is a town in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], located in [[South Province (Area Six)]].

Because of the [[Gym]]'s specialized type, the people of this town tend to walk around accompanied by {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

==Places of interest==
===Alfornada Gym===
{{main|Alfornada Gym}}
The Alfornada Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Alfornada. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Tulip]], who specializes in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Alfornada Pokémon Center===
A [[Pokémon League representative]] at this [[Pokémon Center]] asks the {{player}} to defeat seven [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in [[South Province (Area Six)]] for a [[TM]].

===Emotional Spectrum Practice===
'''Emotional Spectrum Practice''', or '''ESP''' for short, is an exercise activity formulated by Tulip to help one become more beautiful. ESP regimens are taught by [[Dendra]] at the eastern side of town at the base of the observatory. The player must participate in two ESP sessions, featuring 10 and 15 rounds respectively under standard mode rules, as part of the Alfornada Gym Test. In subsequent visits, Dendra will continue to offer ESP sessions, in two different modes: Standard and Knockout.

During an ESP session, Dendra will prompt the player to press either the X, A, B, or Y button before a short timer expires. Each button corresponds to a color-coded emotion that the player must mimic, and it is possible for the same emotion to be chosen multiple times in a row. If the correct emotion is given, the timer will pause briefly, and the current round will be marked as a success even if the player later switches to a different emotion. No penalty is given for expressing the wrong emotion, and the timer will keep running while still allowing the player to switch to the correct emotion. It is possible to input the correct emotion multiple times in the same round, but this does not provide any additional points.

Standard mode offers four different courses of increasing difficulty (more rounds and a shorter timer per round): Nice 'n' easy, Moderate, Vigorous, and All-out. This mode will end in failure if at any point the player has accumulated seven more unsuccessful rounds than they have successful rounds, and no reward will be given in this case. If the player reaches the end of the session without having too many unsuccessful rounds, they will receive various [[Berry|Berries]] as a reward.

In Knockout mode, a single unsuccessful round at any time will end the session. Dendra will continue for a maximum of 151 prompts, divided into phases of increasing speed. After each phase, there is an opportunity to rest, in which the game will not proceed to the next phase until the player presses any button.

==Trivia==
* The battle court features all the [[menu]] sprites from the [[Generation I]] games along the outside of the building and the sidewalk, except for {{p|Pikachu}}'s sprite from {{game|Yellow}}.
* The theme that plays in this location, "ベイクタウン / Alfornada", is a subtle remix of the overworld theme used within the South Province, and is programmed to dynamically interact with the other South Province themes.
* The Emotional Spectrum Practice Knockout mode has a total of 151 rounds, matching the original number of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Paldea|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea}}
Alfornada may take its inspiration from the {{wp|Moorish architecture|Moorish art and architectural heritage}} of southern Iberia, particularly that of {{wp|Andalucia}} of Spain and {{wp|Algarve}} of Portugal. Southern Iberia is also notable for its tradition in the production of ceramics and potteries, with roots in {{wp|Hispano-Moresque ware}}. Ceramic art is used extensively as decoration throughout the architecture of southern Iberia; examples include colorful ceramic tilework and the tradition of hanging painted ceramic dishes on exterior walls.

The {{wp|armillary sphere}} may be a reference to the one featured on the {{wp|flag of Portugal}}.

The '''Asado Desert''' (Japanese: '''ロースト砂漠''' ''Roast Desert'') is a large desert in the [[Paldea]] region, stretching a portion of the region's West Province. It contains the city of [[Cascarrafa]].

==Geography==
The Asado Desert connects to [[West Province (Area Two)]] on the west and [[Cascarrafa]] on the east. The desert is very large and there will often be a {{weather|sandstorm}} occuring. Like many other locations in Paldea, Asado Desert has a watchtower that serves as a fly point, however unlike other watchtowers, this one is mostly buried underneath the sand. There are several large rock formations throughout the desert that can be climbed once the {{player}} has unlocked the ability to climb walls on their {{p|Koraidon}} or {{p|Miraidon}}.

The Quaking Earth Titan, [[Great Tusk]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Iron Treads]]{{sup/9|V}}, one of the five [[Titan Pokémon]] of the Paldea region, can be found here.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
Asado Desert first appeared in ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'' and ''[[PASV03|Battle! Team Star, the Delinquents!!]]'' as the first stop on {{adv|Violet}} and [[Arven]]'s quest to find the [[Herba Mystica]]. In the desert, they encountered two [[Paradox Pokémon]], a {{p|Great Tusk}} and an {{p|Iron Treads}}, the latter which they identified as the {{pkmn2|Titan|Quaking Earth Titan}} due to its size. Despite having some initial success against it with Violet's {{p|Fuecoco}}, Iron Treads ultimately proved too strong, so Arven suggested they retreat for the time being, which Violet accepted.

Later, Violet and Arven passed through Asado Desert again, though the Quaking Earth Titan was nowhere in sight. [[Cassiopeia]] contacted them and informed Violet that [[Team Star]]'s [[Schedar Squad's Base|Schedar Squad]] was planning on increasing their security following Violet's victory over [[Giacomo]] and suggested he'd head to their base to deal with them before the new security could arrive. While Violet agreed, Arven was more eager to find the Quaking Earth Titan and its Herba Mystica in order to heal his {{p|Mabosstiff}} more. As such, Violet chose to leave Arven behind in the desert, telling him to contact him if he found the Titan. Worried that Violet would have less allies now to take on Team Star, Arven contacted [[Clavell]] for help. In the next chapter, Arven was surprised to see Miraidon returning with {{adv|Scarlet}} instead of Violet.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Paldea|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Paldea}}
The location of Asado Desert may correspond to the {{wp|Cresmina Dune}} in {{wp|Lisbon District}}, while the circle of rocks where the Quaking Earth Titan can be found may be a reference to the various megalithic complexes in Iberia such as {{wp|Almendres Cromlech}} in {{wp|Évora District}} and {{wp|Dolmen of Guadalperal}} in {{wp|Extremadura}}.

The desert may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Tabernas Desert}} in Spain, known as the only desert in Europe and the backdrop for many {{wp|Spaghetti Western}} films.

The '''Aether Foundation''' (Japanese: '''エーテル{{tt|財団|ざいだん}}''' ''Aether Foundation'') is a major organization based in the [[Alola]] [[region]] whose goal is to treat injured and sick Pokémon. The organization shelters Pokémon to keep them safe from threats like [[Team Skull]]. Their main headquarters is [[Aether Paradise]], an artificial island they constructed, while [[Aether House]] is their largest base on Alola's main islands.

[[Lusamine]], the president of the organization, is ultimately revealed to be the true antagonist of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, having been driven to mass obsession over the [[Ultra Beasts]]. A handful of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}}, including second-in-command [[Faba]], are followers of her true motives. Lusamine's plans are different in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}; while still obsessed with Ultra Beasts, she plans to stop {{ga|Necrozma}} from stealing the region's light source.

==In the core series games==

=== History ===

==== [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] ====
Faba invites the {{Player}} and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]], where they meet the Aether Foundation President Lusamine and learn that the foundation is responsible for making Aether Paradise a sanctuary for abused Pokémon. In the middle of the meeting, a [[Ultra Beast|weird creature]] from [[Ultra Space|another universe]] attacks the player and, after a short battle, retreats to its own world. Lusamine becomes interested in the odd creature and sends the duo to [[Ula'ula Island]] to complete their [[Island challenge]].

Later on, [[Gladion]] reveals to the player and Hau that they have to return to Aether Paradise to rescue [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby]]. Despite the crazy story, the player and Hau tag along with Gladion. At Aether Paradise, employees begin to attack the team as they believe they are intruders. The group eventually reaches Faba, who hints that there's something unusual about Aether Foundation. After a battle with the player, Faba redirects the trio to the lower level of Aether Paradise, with the trio unaware that it's a trap to buy time. After learning of the trap, they head back up to find Faba, who brought reinforcements to battle them. [[Wicke]] then appears and says that Lillie might be with the President, but it would be hard to get to her. Faba then ambushes them again with more employees. The team defeats the employees and Faba once again, resulting in Faba giving them access to the president's office.

The trio then spot [[Team Skull]] and [[Guzma]]. Gladion immediately takes on Guzma while Hau and the player take out the Grunts. Guzma takes down Gladion and the player takes his place in battle. Guzma gets defeated by the player and is forced to let the team move onwards. The player then runs into Lusamine and Lillie. They witness a darker side of Lusamine and learn that Nebby is being sacrificed to bring back [[Nihilego (Pokémon)|the beast from earlier]]. Lillie tries to reason with her mother but fails to do so, resulting in the player going after Lusamine.

Gladion and Hau catch up to the player and Gladion tells his mother not to open the [[Ultra Wormhole]], but Lusamine ignores her children and opens it anyway, drawing out an Ultra Beast into the room. This also results in various wormholes opening up all over Alola, infesting the [[region]] with Ultra Beasts. With the help of Guzma, Lusamine tries to stop the player's team, but they defeat both the villains and the Ultra Beast. As the Ultra Wormhole closes, Guzma, Lusamine, and the beast retreat to [[Ultra Space]] while Lillie checks on Nebby, who has now [[Evolution|transformed]] into a [[Cosmoem (Pokémon)|new form]].

After evolving into {{P|Solgaleo}}{{Sup/7|S}}/{{P|Lunala}}{{Sup/7|M}}, Nebby uses its new power to take Lillie and the player to Ultra Space. The two then run into Guzma, who seems to be possessed by the Ultra Beasts. Lillie continues onwards to find her mother, and soon the two locate Lusamine and the mysterious creature, now revealed to be called {{P|Nihilego}}. Lillie tries to convince her mother to return, but Lusamine nastily pushes her daughter's buttons and even calls her ugly. Lusamine calls out a captured Nihilego and merges with it, forcing the player to battle her until Nebby separates Lusamine and Nihilego from each other. Nebby then grabs the trapped people and brings them to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{Sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{Sup/7|M}}, where [[Hapu]] takes Lusamine and Guzma to safety.

==== [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] ====
Faba invites the player and Hau to Aether Paradise. At Aether Paradise, the player and Hau meet the Aether Foundation President Lusamine and learn that the foundation is responsible for making Aether Paradise a sanctuary for abused Pokémon. In the middle of the meeting, a [[Ultra Beast|weird creature]] from [[Ultra Space|another universe]] attacks the player and, after a short battle, retreats to its own world. That's when [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]{{Sup/7|US}}/[[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]{{Sup/7|UM}} enter the scene once again. Lusamine introduces them as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and explains that she's working with them to protect Alola from an otherworldly Pokémon called [[Necrozma (Pokémon)|Necrozma]]. Lusamine then sends the player and Hau to Ula'ula Island to complete their island challenge.

The player returns to Aether Paradise with Gladion and events proceed in the same way as in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Once the player defeats Guzma, they must also battle Dulse{{Sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{Sup/7|UM}}. The player's team finds out that Lusamine wishes to sacrifice Nebby in order to enter Ultra Space, the place where Necrozma dwells. Lillie tries to convince her to stop, to no avail.

Gladion and Hau catch up to the player and Gladion tells his mother she's not ready to fight Necrozma on her own, but Lusamine ignores her children and opens the wormhole anyway. She challenges the player in order to prove to her children that she can handle any threat with her Pokémon, but even a loss is not enough to deter her, as she calls a similarly stubborn Guzma to her and they both cross over into Ultra Space. After the Ultra Wormhole closes, Lillie checks on Nebby, who has now [[Evolution|transformed]] into a [[Cosmoem (Pokémon)|new form]]. Shocked by Lusamine's actions, Dulse and Zossie{{Sup/7|US}}/Phyco and Soliera{{Sup/7|UM}} respond to Lillie's plea for help and reveal they came to Alola from their [[Ultra Megalopolis|world]] on the back of a [[Lunala (Pokémon)|Lunala]]{{Sup/7|US}}/[[Solgaleo (Pokémon)|Solgaleo]]{{Sup/7|UM}}, and that an altar on the final Island of Alola, [[Poni Island]], holds a secret to awakening such a dimension-travelling beast.

Nebby evolves again into Solgaleo{{Sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{Sup/7|UM}}. It prepares to take the player and Lillie to Ultra Space with its new power, but an Ultra Wormhole suddenly opens and Guzma and Lusamine fall out of it, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma immediately spots Nebby and assaults it, ultimately besting it in a battle and forcefully fusing with it, becoming Dusk Mane Necrozma{{Sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings Necrozma{{Sup/7|UM}}. The player then fights the merged Necrozma, but despite losing, it manages to escape.

Meanwhile, other wormholes appear all over Alola, scattering Ultra Beasts across the land. The light all over the region also disappears and the archipelago is plunged into darkness. Lusamine asks the Ultra Recon Squad for help. However, they brush her off, as they're unwilling to forgive her for her recklessness.

After Necrozma is defeated, it vanishes and Lusamine and Lillie take a severely weakened Nebby to Aether Paradise to be treated.

===Leadership===
The Aether Foundation's president is [[Lusamine]], who wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by [[Faba]], the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and [[Wicke]], the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], [[Gladion]] acts as president in the post-game while [[Lillie|his sister]] and mother are away in [[Kanto]]. The Pokémon Sun and Moon website states that there are multiple divisions of the Aether Foundation, and the {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}}' uniforms change depending on the division,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119061737/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/aether-foundation | Aether Foundation on the Pokémon Sun and Moon Website]</ref> which can be seen in-game. In the English version of the games, [[Anabel]] identifies Wicke specifically as being of the "Alolan branch of the Aether Foundation", implying the Aether Foundation may have branches in other [[region]]s as well.

The Aether Foundation had originally been developed by Lusamine's father.<ref>Scientist on Aether Paradise, Sun and Moon: ''"The current president's father was a very, very wealthy man and a great lover of Pokémon. He built the Aether Foundation to protect them."''</ref>

The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble.

===Research===
The foundation's main purpose is the research and treatment of hurt Pokémon of all kinds. This includes Pokémon from alternate [[dimension]]s, [[Ultra Beast]]s. Professor [[Mohn]], who previously worked at the foundation, had previously done research on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, naming this new dimension [[Ultra Space]]. He had found life beyond it in the form of the Ultra Beast {{p|Nihilego}}. Professor Mohn had also researched the mysterious {{p|Cosmog}}, a [[Legendary Pokémon]] said to hail from Ultra Space. With his research, it is also revealed that Cosmog can create Ultra Wormholes through use of its gases and while under extreme life-threatening stress. Professor Mohn was the one who named the Pokémon "Cosmog".

The Aether Foundation has also conducted experiments with genetics creating an [[artificial Pokémon]] by the name of {{p|Silvally|Type: Full}}. Using several genetic samples from all 18 [[type]]s, they created Type: Full as a [[beast killer project|beast killer]], a weapon used to fight against Ultra Beasts. All three Type: Full rejected their {{a|RKS System}} and went berserk. Faba built a helmet to inhibit the Pokémon, who were then put in cryogenic stasis and renamed to {{p|Type: Null}}.

The [[Beast Ball]], made for catching Ultra Beasts, was designed and created by Faba.

===Facilities===
[[Aether Paradise]] is a privately owned artificial island that was built in the middle of the Alola region by the Aether Foundation. The foundation uses it both as a sanctuary and a research facility. [[Aether House]] located on {{rt|15|Alola}} functions partly as an orphanage for both human children and Pokémon. In addition, the Aether Foundation hosts outposts at {{rt|8|Alola}}, {{rt|16|Alola}}, and [[Heahea City]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{mas|Lusamine}} and [[Faba]] appear in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]

The Aether Foundation appears in the Alola chapter of the [[Villain Arc]]. Two factions of the foundation arrived on [[Pasio]], along with [[Team Skull]], both of which had plans participating in a festival centered around Alola's culture. The two factions were split: ones who agreed with the foundation's goals and ideals, following what precedent {{mas|Lusamine}} had set, and another group of individuals influenced by [[Team Rocket]] who had planned to steal the foundation's resources and assets in order to summon [[Ultra Beast]]s.

The Aether Foundation's president, {{an|Lusamine}}, was introduced as {{an|Lillie}}'s mother in a picture in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]''. The foundation itself and its {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}} debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''.

In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} became the founding members of a task force called the [[Ultra Guardians]], which is a sub-group of the Aether Foundation. Their goal is to catch {{an|Ultra Beasts}} that have strayed into the [[Pokémon world]] and release them back into [[Ultra Space]] to maintain [[Alola]]'s safety.

In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Lillie revealed that every single person at the Aether Foundation helped construct the [[Manalo Stadium]].

Unlike in the games, the Aether Foundation is not affiliated with [[Team Skull]].

==Trivia==
* The Aether Foundation gets its name from the fifth alchemic element, {{wp|Aether (classical element)| Aether}}.
* The Aether Foundation are the first major antagonistic group in a [[core series]] game without the word "Team" (Japanese: 団 ''-dan'') in their name.
* The Japanese names of all major members of the Aether Foundation and the members of [[Lusamine]]'s family are based on German words for plants.

Aerodactyl (Pokémon)

2025-12-13T06:44:40Z

SpaceDimentio: Amber is fossilized tree resin, not pterosaur remains. Any DNA obtained from it comes from insects trapped in the sap, ala Jurassic Park (see Gen 1 Old Amber artwork).

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

It is revived from an [[Old Amber]]. While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Aerodactyl OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Aerodactyl for the [[original series]]]]
Aerodactyl is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, bipedal prehistoric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|pterosaur}} with several draconic features. It has small sharply pointed ears, narrow dark green eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-gray skin and it has large, violet membranous wings. The clawed hands at the end of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a spike on its back, and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back, and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl's serrated saw-like fangs and ferocious attitude were very imposing in its time. Its fangs can rip out throats and tear through the skin of any Pokémon to pieces, even {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. However, it is slow to walk on land. It liked to nest in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion. Aerodactyl lived in prehistoric times, and was theorized to become extinct thanks to a giant meteor impact. It was restored in modern times using genetic material extracted from amber; some casualties occurred during these attempts. Even still, this restoration is not considered perfect.

===Forms===
Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Aerodactyl.

As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn bright green and parts of its body turn to stone, which some researchers believe to be its original appearance before fossilization.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega Aerodactyl]</ref>It grows larger and sprouts jagged black spiky rocks all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge.

The power of [[Mega Evolution]] allows some of Aerodactyl's dormant genes to reawaken. Some scholars claim that Mega Aerodactyl is Aerodactyl's true appearance from prehistory before it was revived. Some of the rocks on Mega Aerodactyl's body are harder than diamond. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before. As a result, Mega Aerodactyl attacks anything that moves.

In ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', Team Rocket accidentally revived an Aerodactyl from its fossil. Angered and confused, it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]]. It was eventually stopped by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before [[Dr. Kenzo]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', {{an|Trevor}} was revealed to have caught an Aerodactyl. It was used in his battle against [[Alain]] in the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it went up against {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} but was soon defeated.

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Aerodactyl was revived using a Wing Fossil, which formed a trio with the [[Helix Fossil]] and [[Dome Fossil]].
* Aerodactyl shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s. The genus name was chosen in reference to Aerodactyl having traits derived from various pterosaur species.<ref>Vidovic, S. U. & Martill, D. M. (2014). "[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206445/ ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' Meyer, 1860 (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Upper Jurassic of Bavaria, Germany: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]". PLOS ONE. 9 (10): e110646.</ref>
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form.
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil, or from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in [[Generation II]], as a gift in [[Generation VII]], and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in Generation II was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely because the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[core series]] who is not a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|Dragon}} Egg Group.
** This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 ''yokuryū'') in Japanese, further explaining why it is called a "dragon" by an old man in [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Aerodactyl is the first Fossil Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|Egg}} shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In the ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]'', Aerodactyl was stated to be the predecessor of birds. This, alongside many facts in the book, would be retconned by future content in the games, specifically by the introduction of [[Archeops]].

===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design may based on {{wp|Pterodactyloidea|pterodactyloids}}, a family of {{wp|pterosaur}}s that lived in the {{wp|Jurassic}} period. Its long tail, however, may be derived from {{wp|Rhamphorhynchoidea|rhamphorhynchids}}. Additionally, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws give it the resemblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.

The rocks that appear on Mega Aerodactyl's body may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}} whereby an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations. The rock on Mega Aerodactyl's chin resembles a {{wp|goatee}}.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl may be a combination of ἀέρος ''aéros'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') or aeroplane, and ''{{wp|Pterosaur|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera may be derived from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}'' or ''{{wp|Pteranodon}}''.

The '''Alola''' region (Japanese: '''アローラ{{tt|地方|}}''' ''Alola {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It was the seventh [[core series]] region to be introduced and is the setting of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]].

Alola is made up of four islands: [[Melemele Island]], [[Akala Island]], [[Ula'ula Island]], and [[Poni Island]]. In the center is an artificial island by the name of [[Aether Paradise]]. It is a popular resort destination and attracts a lot of tourists from other regions. In Alola, humans and [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] coexist in a very close relationship, and a culture has developed that is different from other regions.

The [[island kahuna]] of each island is known to offer the first partner Pokémon to Trainers beginning their journey of this archipelago. In gameplay, the kahuna of Melemele Island, [[Hala]], will offer the options of {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}} to beginner Trainers in Sun and Moon, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Professor Kukui]] of [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli City Outskirts]] will offer the same three Pokémon under Hala's behalf.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
According to [[Shigeru Ohmori]], the name "Alola" is meant to incorporate a meaning of a land that overflows with life force and supports various forms of life.<ref>[https://www.twitch.tv/nintendo/v/72391082?t=43m Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 (recorded)]</ref> Specifically, the name may come from ''ola'' ({{wp|Hawaiian language|Hawaiian}} for life) and the traditional Hawaiian word ''{{wp|aloha}}'', which, beyond its use as a greeting, also signifies a respect and love for the shared life force between all. This etymology is likely also shared by the Alolan greeting and parting "alola". The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Alola is "Alolan", as seen in the term [[Alolan form]].

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Alola|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Alola}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-North America.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of {{wp|North America}} showing the Alola region as the state of {{wp|Hawaii}}.]]
Alola is based on the {{wp|Hawaiian Islands}}, an archipelago in the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} which is home to {{wp|Hawaii}}, a state of the {{wp|United States}}.<ref>(May 23, 2016). [https://web.archive.org/web/20230618172633/https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/3406435.html Junichi Masuda's LINE blog] (archived June 18, 2023)</ref> Each of Alola's natural islands is based on one of the Hawaiian Islands:
* [[Melemele Island]] is based on the real-world Hawaiian island {{wp|Oahu|Oʻahu}}.
* [[Akala Island]] is based on the real-world Hawaiian island {{wp|Maui}}.
* [[Ula'ula Island]] is based on the real-world Hawaiian island {{wp|Hawaii (island)|Hawaiʻi (the Big Island)}}.
* [[Poni Island]] is based on the real-world Hawaiian island {{wp|Kauai|Kauaʻi}}.

Each natural island in Alola is associated with a color, which corresponds with the official color designation for their real-world counterparts. Each island is also named after the Hawaiian word for their associated color. The colors also correspond with the [[nectar]] and flowers available on said island, as well as each island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]].

==History==
===Prehistory===
Hundreds of years prior to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], as the people of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] injured {{ga|Necrozma}} in an attempt to steal its powers, pieces of its prismatic body rained down onto different worlds, which included the [[Pokémon world]] in Alola. This gave origin to the [[Sparkling Stone]]s, [[Z-Crystal]]s, and consequently, to the [[Z-Ring]]s{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|M}}/[[Z-Power Ring]]s{{sup/7|US}}{{sup/7|UM}}, and [[Z-Move]]s.

At some point later, a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}} emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Seeing them as a threat, the [[guardian deities]] battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]], but were defeated in the end. After the battle, Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} offered the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] as a reward for their efforts. Afterwards, the Legendary Pokémon, along with its counterpart, a Lunala{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, created a newborn in the form of a {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of. This has created a repeated cycle found in the region.

At some point later, Necrozma arrived in Alola through an Ultra Wormhole, stealing all of the light in the region and shrouding it in darkness. During the events it gets a hold of Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} and turns into Dusk Mane Necrozma{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings Necrozma{{sup/7|UM}}. Under the commands of Alola's royalty, the four tapu battled the now dubbed "pillager of light" to retrieve the region's light. With the help of a youth using a Sparkling Stone and [[Z-Power]], the group had managed to defeat and banish Necrozma, restoring the region's light and freeing Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} from it. This had created Alola's tradition of the [[island challenge]]. All books related to Necrozma were burned.

[[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] are seen to have existed for hundreds of years.<ref>[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] takes place an undocumented number of years before any other title in the franchise. Within said title, [[Professor Laventon]] claims, ''"Remarkable! Truly outstanding stuff! A Pokémon letting someone ride on it... Why, it's just like the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] of Alola!"'' Implying the service had existed prior to Legends: Arceus.</ref> The [[Battle Royal]] was created based on battles between the four [[Guardian deities|tapu]]. A [[Thrifty Megamart]] was built on {{p|Tapu Bulu}}'s sacred grounds, however, this angered the guardian deity, that destroyed the [[Tapu Village|village]] and the megamart itself, leaving the [[Pokémon Center]] as the only functioning building. A group that coalesced around one of the [[island kahuna]]s provoked the wrath of the four island deities and in return, was struck down by them, the surviving members became the first members of [[Team Skull]]. 500 years prior, {{p|Magearna}} was built by a scientist and presented to a king's daughter

A few years prior to the events of the games, professor [[Mohn]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had conducted research on [[Ultra Beast]]s and discovered the existence of the [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, {{p|Cosmog}}, and the UB-01: {{p|Nihilego}}, however, he vanished during a mission to connect to an Ultra Wormhole, leaving only a weakened [[Nebby|Cosmog]] behind. That incident greatly affected Mohn's wife, [[Lusamine]]. Somehow, Mohn returned to Alola after losing his memories and started working at the [[Poké Pelago]]. The Aether Foundation started the [[beast killer project]] and created the [[Pokémon category|Synthetic Pokémon]] Type: Full based on myths and legends involving a {{p|Arceus|Mythical Pokémon}}. However, the project was a failure due to the three Type: Full models rejecting the {{a|RKS System}} and going berserk. In response, [[Faba]] put a control mask on all three models and placed them in cryogenic stasis for eternity, renaming the species {{p|Type: Null}}.

2 years prior, [[Gladion]] steals a [[Gladion's Silvally|Type: Null]] from his [[Lusamine|mother]] and leaves [[Aether Paradise]]. 3 months prior, [[Lillie]] steals a [[Nebby|Cosmog]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] and during her escape, the Cosmog {{M|teleport|teleported}} her to a beach, where she is found by [[Professor Burnet]]. Since then, she started living with Burnet and her husband [[Professor Kukui|Kukui]]. According to [[Lysandre|L]], around the same time interval, after {{p|Zygarde}} had used up its strength to protect the people and Pokémon from the blast of the [[ultimate weapon]] during the events of {{g|X and Y}}, its [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] and [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] scattered to far-off places, including Alola. It absorbed the Z-Power found there and sought out [[human]]s who would give it aid, leading to the Pokémon's appearance in both Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

===Contemporary history===
The worlds of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon take place in different universes from one another, with the worlds of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon taking place in universes different from not only each other but to Sun and Moon as well, causing a set of [[Pokémon multiverse|parallel universes]]. Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon have a 12 hour [[time]] difference from Sun and Ultra Sun. Alola's contemporary history is different in Sun and Moon compared to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

{{ga|Elio}}/{{ga|Selene}} begins their [[Pokémon journey|adventure]] after meeting Professor Kukui who takes them to receive their first partner Pokémon from [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. During this series of events, the trainer meets Lillie, mistaking her for the kahuna; her Cosmog; [[Nebby]], and Hala's Grandson, [[Hau]] on their way to [[Iki Town]]. Nebby gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on a wooden bridge, to which is destroyed after thet help protect the Pokémon. Melemele's island guardian, {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two of them and offers Elio/Selene a [[Sparkling Stone]]. They receive their first partner Pokémon and a [[Z-Ring]] at the festival inaugurating their [[island challenge]], consisting of seven trials and four grand trials in order to become the island challenge champion. Along their journey, they encounter a group called [[Team Skull]], whose members are misfits who failed the island challenge and aim to cause trouble, as well as the Aether Foundation, whose goal is to cure hurt Pokémon. Midway through their island challenge, Elio/Selene are brought on a tour of Aether Paradise, where they find a {{p|Nihilego}}, an [[Ultra Beast]] and are tasked to defeat it. After defeating the leader of Team Skull, [[Guzma]], at the [[Shady House]], they learn that Lillie was taken away by Team Skull, and upon Gladion's request, him, Elio/Selene, and Hau travel to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie, where they battle [[Lusamine]], the president of the Aether Foundation who is also revealed to be Lillie and Gladion's mother. Lusamine opens [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola and enters one with Guzma. Elio/Selene and Lillie evolve [[Nebby]] into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} and travel into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]], where Elio/Selene battle Lusamine once again and brings her and Guzma back to Alola. They catch Nebby after Lillie tells it that she isn't a Trainer. The trainer then climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]], where the newly opened {{al|Pokémon League}} stands. They defeat the [[Elite Four]] and Professor Kukui, becoming the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. A festival is held in Iki Town, and Lillie brings them to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to thank {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The next day, Lillie leaves on a boat to Kanto to help her sickly mother.

=====[[Looker Episode]]=====
Hau enters the player's home and gifts them with Z-Crystals for the remaining unchosen starter Pokémon. Outside the house, a man appears, waiting to give them a strange [[Enigmatic Card]] before hurrying away. The card appears to be from the [[International Police]]. The player flies to the [[Akala Island|Akala]] Motel on [[Alola Route 8|Route 8]], meeting with [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]]. They inform the player about what's happened after [[Lusamine]]'s attempts to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Many [[Ultra Beast]]s have appeared and run rampant across the region, and need to either be destroyed or caught. The player assists Anabel in catching the invasive species.

After obtaining all UBs, a mysterious black creature known as {{p|Necrozma}} appears, which can be encountered at the farthest hollow of [[Ten Carat Hill]]. The International Police do not identify the Pokémon as an Ultra Beast despite Looker's claims.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
{{ga|Elio}}/{{ga|Selene}} begins their [[Pokémon journey|adventure]] after meeting [[Professor Kukui]] who provides them with their first partner Pokémon on [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Hala]]'s behalf. During this series of events, Elio/Selene meets Lillie, mistaking her for the kahuna; her Cosmog; [[Nebby]], and Hala's Grandson, [[Hau]] on their way to [[Iki Town]]. Nebby gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on a wooden bridge, to which is destroyed after they helps protect the Pokémon. Melemele's island guardian, {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two of them and offers Elio/Selene a [[Sparkling Stone]]. They receive a [[Z-Power Ring]] at the festival inaugurating their [[island challenge]], consisting of eight trials and four grand trials in order to become the island challenge champion. Once again they come across [[Team Skull]] and the Aether Foundation, battling a wild {{p|Nihilego}} found on Aether Paradise. However, they're also met with a new group known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are associated with Aether. After defeating the leader of Team Skull, [[Guzma]], at the [[Shady House]], they learn that Lillie was taken away by Team Skull, and upon Gladion's request, him, Elio/Selene and Hau travel to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie, where they battle [[Lusamine]], the president of the Aether Foundation who is also revealed to be Lillie and Gladion's mother. Lusamine opens a single [[Ultra Wormhole]] to enter with Guzma in a plot to stop {{ga|Necrozma}} from stealing Alola's light. Elio/Selene and Lillie evolve Nebby into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} however, before they can go into [[Ultra Space]], Lusamine and Guzma are immediately ejected from an Ultra Wormhole, being defeated by Necrozma. Necrozma soon follows and captures Nebby and takes control of its body, becoming Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings Necrozma{{sup/7|UM}}, and proceeds to not only summon [[Ultra Beast]]s into Alola, but steals all of Alola's light. With help from the Ultra Recon Squad, they [[Ultra Warp Ride|ride atop]] a Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} and goes to [[Ultra Megalopolis]] to chase down Necrozma, who then uses the light it took from Nebby to [[Ultra Burst|become Ultra Necrozma]], its original [[form]]. Elio/Selene successfully defeat Necrozma and separate Nebby from it, returning the light to Alola. They then finish their island challenge and climb [[Mount Lanakila]] where they defeat Hau, as their final obstacle and becoming the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. A festival is held in [[Iki Town]]. Gladion leaves for Kanto and [[Johto]] by boat. They then return home, where they are contacted by Hau and the Ultra Recon Squad to catch {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}.

=====[[Episode RR]]=====
They soon learn of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], who take over the [[Festival Plaza]] and Aether Paradise. Lillie reaches out to Elio/Selene for help and they intervene, dealing with several [[Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)|Rainbow Rocket Grunt]]s in the altered Aether Paradise, now known as [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. The organization is ran by several villainous Team Leaders from previous video games: [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]]; all coming from timelines where they were successful in their plans. Finally, they reach Lusamine's chamber and defeat Rainbow Rocket's head leader, [[Giovanni]], who then leaves Paradise and restores it to normal after his defeat. However, before he leaves, he subtly implies he has yet more plans in mind.

Gladion returns a month later after Giovanni's defeat, allowing him and his mother to reunite with his father in unexpected ways.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Alola anime.png|thumb|350px|Alola's main islands in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
[[File:Aether Paradise anime.png|thumb|250px|Aether Paradise in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
The Alola region consists of four main islands: [[Melemele Island]], [[Akala Island]], [[Ula'ula Island]], and [[Poni Island]]. It also includes one artificial island, [[Aether Paradise]], described as a "{{wp|very large floating structure}}" or VLFS, and [[Poké Pelago]], a group of small, uninhabited islands. People can travel between the islands via boat, the [[Poké Ride]]'s {{p|Charizard}} Glide, and [[Mantine Surf]]; it is not possible to use the Poke Ride's {{p|Lapras}} Paddle or {{p|Sharpedo}} Jet, or any [[Field move|field moves]], to move between the islands. All four natural islands are, to an extent, forested and mountainous. Most of these islands' cities and towns are on the coast, with the notable exceptions of [[Iki Town]] and [[Paniola Town]]. Routes are relatively developed here compared to other regions, with several of them having their own [[Pokémon Center]]s in addition to residential buildings.

Though steeped in nature, Melemele Island, in the northwest of the archipelago, has the least extreme environments. It is home to Alola's largest settlement, [[Hau'oli City]]. Its routes gently slope up towards the center of the island to form a gradual mountain, on top of which are the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. A notable Melemele Island landmark is [[Ten Carat Hill]], which was formed out of an underwater volcano and has an open-air hollow in the middle, itself resembling a volcano.

Akala Island, in the northeast of the archipelago, contains Alola's only active volcano, in [[Wela Volcano Park]]. It also has the most settlements of the four natural islands. Its largest city, [[Heahea City]], boasts several huge resort hotels, such as the [[Hano Grand Resort]], which has its own beach and golf course. A notable Akala Island landmark is [[Brooklet Hill]], which has cascading waterfalls that give off the impression of a terrace field. The island is also contains a rainforest known as Lush Jungle.

Ula'ula Island, in the southeast of the archipelago, is the largest of Alola's islands. It is also the most varied in terms of weather and terrain, with significantly rougher terrain areas than other islands. For such a large island, it has few settlements: [[Malie City]], the largest city in Ula'ula; [[Tapu Village]], destroyed by the {{p|Tapu Bulu|tapu}} a long time ago, contains just a [[Pokémon Center]]; and [[Po Town]], occupied by [[Team Skull]]. These settlements all sit in the shadow of a contiguous mountain range in the heart of the island, which includes three mountain peaks and a [[Haina Desert|harsh desert]]. On the southwest coast of the island is a large lagoon with [[breakable rock]]s that the Poké Ride's Sharpedo Jet can break through. Notable Ula'ula Island landmarks are the [[Lake of the Moone]] and the [[Lake of the Sunne]], both perfectly circular lakes that have special connections to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of Alola, {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Poni Island, in the southwest of the archipelago, is the most sparsely populated of Alola's islands. It only contains one settlement in [[Ancient Poni Path]], however the [[Seafolk Village]] is a gathering location of seafarring people. Similar to the [[Battle Zone]] in [[Sinnoh]], it is full of rugged and harsh environments. Though its coasts are fairly flat, the island is mostly mountainous and rocky, in part due to the sprawling [[Vast Poni Canyon]] — described as a natural [[Island challenge|trial site]] — that takes up over half the island's land. Exeggutor Island, a smaller unihabited island that was once its own trial site, can be accessed in Seafolk Village.

Aether Paradise, just west of the center of the archipelago, starkly contrasts with the natural islands. It is strikingly modern, with a huge building in the center that serves as both the main area and the headquarters of its owners, the [[Aether Foundation]]. Behind this building is a sprawling mansion that serves as the office and residence of its head, [[Lusamine]].

Among Alola's four islands is another smaller archipelago known as [[Poké Pelago]]. This archipelago is uninhabited by people, despite this, [[Mohn]] has made it a paradise for Trainer-owned Pokémon and has several different islands and attractions for their Pokémon to take part in.

===Climate===
Alola has a warmer climate than other regions, being more tropical, similar to its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Alola|real-world counterpart]] of {{wp|Hawaii|Hawaii}}. For example, a [[Lush Jungle|thriving rainforest]] grows on [[Akala Island]]. The Pokémon themselves have also adapted to Alola's tropical atmosphere, the biggest example being the {{p|Exeggutor}} that grow on Poni Island, who have reached lengths other Exeggutor are unable to reach, due to the amount of sun that shines over the islands. These Exeggutor match the flora that grow on the islands. However, [[Mount Lanakila]], Alola's highest point, constantly experiences snow and {{weather|hail}} due to its high altitude.

Each of the natural islands also experiences a wide variety of weather conditions. For example, [[Ula'ula Island]] hosts environments with harsh {{weather|sun}}, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s, and frequent {{weather|rain}}, in addition to the snow and hail on [[Mount Lanakila]]. [[Exeggutor Island]] is known to have common rain showers, as well, these often result in either rainbows during the day, or meteor showers during the night when the rain clears.

===Ecology===
[[File:Vulpix anime.png|thumb|300px|Due to their snowy habitat, Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (right) have become {{type|Ice}}.]]
The ecology of Alola is described as being diverse. While plenty of the Pokémon who live in Alola has lived with human natives for generations, plenty of new Pokémon from other regions have shown up recently as well.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119224622/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/alola-region/ Pokémon Sun and Moon official website (archive)]</ref> Alola's environmental conditions affect its Pokémon in various ways. To adapt to the unique environmental pressures of their Alolan habitats, a number of Pokémon species originally found in the [[Kanto]] region have developed [[regional form]]s named [[Alolan form]]s. Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}, for instance, are five times as tall as those in other regions due to Alola's abundant sunlight, and Alolan {{p|Vulpix}}, which moved to snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, adapted to their new environment by becoming {{type|Ice}}. In adition to this, some Pokémon are known to only live on individual islands, due to each island's subclimates. This has also affected some Pokémon, such as {{p|Oricorio}}, who are known to change their form depending on the type of [[nectar]] and flora present on the island its found in. [[Vast Poni Canyon]], [[Blush Mountain]], [[Lush Jungle]] and [[Mount Lanakila]] are locations which can induce certain Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]].

What has added to this diversity is also the inclusion of Pokémon being brought over from other regions, however this had lead to the issue of multiple {{wp|invasive species}}, such as Alolan {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The rare phenomena known as [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] infrequently appear throughout Alola, causing a disruption of non-native Pokémon known as [[Ultra Beast|Ultra Beasts]] to appear, harming the peace and wildlife. These wormholes, which link to other [[Dimension|dimensions]], are known to pour [[Z-Power]] into the region, which has allowed some Pokémon to enlarge in size and creating the [[Totem Pokémon]] found at trial sites.

Alola is also known to be rather lush in greenery, being rich in vegatation and flora. Have multiple tropically diverse trees and flowers, with each island having different types of plants not found in the others. For example, the flowers that Oricorio use for food come in colors correspnding to the island's name; with Mememele Island containing a [[Melemele Meadow|meadow]] with yellow flowers. While each island has its own plants, they share many similarties too, with many [[Berry tree|Berry Trees]] used for harvesting berries being found. [[Alola Route 2|Route 2]] in particular even has a [[Berry fields (Alola)|Berry field]]. These Berry Trees often drop different types of berries, to which Pokémon like Crabrawler feed from.

Poké Pelago has ecology that differs from Alola's main four islands, but is still environmentally tropical. Here, [[Poké Bean|Poké Beans]] naturally grow, and can be given to Pokémon as a form of delicacy. Wild Pokémon are known to appear on these islands, being attracted to the Poké Beans and Berries that may grow on the islands. Similarly, Exeggutor Island appears to be environmentally different based on version, in Sun and Moon; it appears to be more dry and earthy, matching mainland Poni Island; while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Exeggutor Island is much more lush and green, filled with plant life. It is also unihabited by people.

===Demographics===
The Alola region has a total population of 1005{{sup/7|USUM}}, including all towns, cities, and other areas. Since its introduction in [[Generation VII]], it has been the third largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Alola has nine cities and towns, a big avenue and a [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Pokémon League]]. Like in [[Unova]] and [[Kalos]], the routes of Alola start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the original four regions. There are 17 routes in total, although there are many other locations in the form of a route that in this region are named differently, such as [[Akala Outskirts]] or [[Poni Grove]].

==Island challenge==
{{main|Island challenge}}
The island challenge is a rite of passage in the Alola region consisting of trials on each of Alola's four main islands. Each trial has a [[Trial Captain|captain]] who provides guidance to Trainers undertaking a trial. At the end of each trial, Trainers must face a [[Totem Pokémon]] in an [[SOS Battle]]. The final trial on each island is called the grand trial, where the Trainer must battle the [[island kahuna]]. The goal of those taking the island challenge is to become the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge {{pkmn|Champion|champion}}.

==Alola League==
{{main|Alola League}}
A {{al|Pokémon League}} for the Alola region was developed on top of [[Mount Lanakila]] by [[Professor Kukui]] only recently. As a result, the Alola League has no [[Pokémon Champion]]. Instead, in Sun and Moon, after defeating the Elite Four, the {{player}} must battle Kukui, the founder of the League, in order to formally attain the title of Alola's first [[Pokémon League]] Champion. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player battles their [[rival]] [[Hau]] instead. The player, as the reigning Champion, can subsequently [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defend their title]] against a variety of challengers.

===Elite Four===
