The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン{{ruby|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hoenn region'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located south of [[Sinnoh]],<ref>As stated in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''.</ref> and southwest of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].<ref>''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 16 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref> It is the setting of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. It was the third [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Hoenn is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together ("Little Root", "Fort Tree", "Slate Port", "Ever Grande", etc.) rather than colors or plants as [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] had done. [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the [[first partner Pokémon]] known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s beginning their journey of this vast land.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|200px|The map of Japan showing the Hoenn region as {{wp|Kyushu}}.]]
===Etymology===
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Hoenn's name signifies "abundant relations" (豊縁 ''hōen''), as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people.<ref name=masuda>HIDDEN POWER of masuda, No. 15 [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/09/index.html (Japanese)] / [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/09/index.html (English)]</ref>

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Hoenn|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Hoenn}}
The Hoenn region is based on the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}, rotated 90° counterclockwise. Junichi Masuda stated that the reason Kyushu was rotated 90° to create Hoenn was to increase playability.<ref name=masuda/> According to the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]], Masuda further clarifies that this choice was related to the horizontal display of the new [[Game Boy Advance]] screen.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1504100422688153605]</ref>

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} battling as {{p|Rayquaza}} arrives to stop them]]
At the beginning of the [[Pokémon world]], [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}} were formed from the natural energy in the [[region]] and then proceeded to fill the sea and create land, respectively. Meanwhile {{p|Rayquaza}} resided in the ozone layer. A chance meeting turned the Kyogre and Groudon into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world began. This battle continued until Rayquaza came down to earth and quelled it, forcing the two to retreat into their own caverns, where they slumbered in for many years.

2,000 years prior to the events of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Hoenn was plagued by meteor showers, which turned the homeplace of the [[Draconid people]] into [[Meteor Falls]]. The region was overflowed with natural energy and Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre awakened again to fight over it. They ravaged the earth and were only defeated and put to slumber once again by Rayquaza when the Draconids summoned it through a wish on a meteor. The people of region then began to revere Rayquaza as their savior.

1,000 years prior, the former king of [[Kalos]], [[AZ]] travelled to Hoenn and planted a tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]]'s entrance. A primal energy-filled meteor struck the region, creating a gigantic crater where [[Sootopolis City]] will be built in. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre awakened to fight over it once again. The people of Hoenn wished on Rayquaza to save them once again, and using a [[Key Stone|special]] [[meteorite]], Rayquaza performed the world's first [[Mega Evolution]], defeated the two, took away their Primal states, and forced them back to sleep again. The battle was also witnessed by AZ, learning even more about Mega Evolution. Later on, the [[Sky Pillar]] was built in Rayquaza's honor and the Draconids promised to pass down the prophecy that in 1,000 years the meteor would return again.

The [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s were created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. 40 years prior to the events of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Lunatone}} is discovered at the site of a meteor strike.

===Contemporary history===
The contemporary history of Hoenn differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
====[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]====
{{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. They then encountered May/Brendan (not chosen as {{Player}}), who started competing with them to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a {{P|Poochyena}} with their [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed them to keep the Pokémon that they used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and, with the help of the opposing team, defeating [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}}, who wanted to expand the amount of landmass{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/water{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} in the {{Pkmn|world}}. Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Seafloor Cavern]], which caused the Hoenn region to be plagued by {{weather|harsh sunlight}}{{sup/3|R}}/extremely harsh sunlight{{sup/6|OR}}/{{weather|rain}}{{sup/3|S}}/heavy rain{{sup/6|AS}}. However, Brendan/May battled and defeated the weather Pokémon in the [[Cave of Origin]] while in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal forms]]{{sup/6|OR}}{{sup/6|AS}}, successfully calming them down. Brendan/May then proceeded to beat the Pokémon League and become the Champion.

=====[[Delta Episode]]=====
Upon becoming the Champion in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteor]] changed course towards Hoenn. May's/Brendan's, [[Wally]]'s, and [[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}} [[Key Stone]]s were stolen by [[Zinnia]] in an attempt to summon {{p|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor. Brendan/May encountered Zinnia at [[Sky Pillar]], who successfully summoned Rayquaza with the Key Stones she's stolen, but failed to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] it. Brendan/May fed it a [[meteorite]], which granted Rayquaza the power to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], joining them and flying into space to destroy the meteor. A {{P|Deoxys}} emerges from the remnants of the meteor, beginning a battle between it and Rayquaza.

===={{G|Emerald}}====
{{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. They then encountered May/Brendan (not chosen as {{Player}}), who started competing with them to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a {{P|Zigzagoon}} with their [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed them to keep the Pokémon that they used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], who wanted to expand the amount of landmass and water in the {{Pkmn|world}}, respectively. Team Magma and Team Aqua successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Seafloor Cavern]] respectively, which caused the Hoenn region to be plagued by an abnormal weather, being a strange mixture of {{weather|harsh sunlight}} and {{weather|rain}}. As the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] battled each other at [[Sootopolis City]], Brendan/May successfully awakened {{p|Rayquaza}} from [[Sky Pillar]], which allowed it to calm both weather Pokémon down. Brendan/May then proceeded to beat the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was even invited to compete in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.{{endspoilers}}

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Hoenn Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Hoenn Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
The Hoenn region is a group of islands that boasts many dramatic environments from [[Hoenn Route 119|rainforests]] to [[Hoenn Route 111|deserts]], but its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a strong contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size to the mainland, exemplifying the theme of the games. There are several large and populated islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}.

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of [[Fortree City]], who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the [[Pokémon world]], as noted by {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has one active volcano, [[Mt. Chimney]], in the northwest of the region. The ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region lies the volcanic{{sup/3|RSE}}/impact{{sup/6|ORAS}} crater which [[Sootopolis City]] was built in.

Some of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon strongly reflect the influence of the primarily tropical environment.

===Climate===
Hoenn seems to have a warmer climate than other regions, similar to an equatorial climate. This may mean that Hoenn is located closer to the equator than the other regions.

The mainland experiences a wide variety of weather across its breadth. Ashes constantly fall around [[Mt. Chimney]] in the northwest. Constant, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s afflict the arid desert near its center. Frequent {{weather|rain}} falls on the mainland's northeastern areas, nourishing the rainforests and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} that grow there.

===Demographics===
The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} is 598. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the total population of Hoenn's towns, cities, and areas is 694. Upon its introduction in [[Generation III]], it was the largest region by population. As of [[Generation IX]], it is the seventh largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], including a {{ho|Pokémon League}}. Since the majority of the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] or [[Kalos]]'s [[Lumiose City]], with the largest city being [[Lilycove City]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Mauville City]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

The Hoenn region has 34 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Sinnoh]] after it, Hoenn's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Hoenn are numbered from {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} to {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}. Compared to other regions, Hoenn features an abundance of sea routes. This gives the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land, which references the battle of Groudon and Kyogre.

The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. The region does not feature a true mountain range like in Sinnoh and other regions. Hoenn introduced many new natural environments including a volcano, a jungle, a beach, a desert, and many more. The Hoenn region also introduced the idea of routes with differing [[weather]], including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.

====Routes====
Routes in Hoenn are numbered as {{rtn|101|Hoenn}}-{{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto. This is presumably to discourage the idea of being able to travel back to either region after completion of the game, as was done in [[Generation II]] and as a mirror of the fact that Japan's road system possesses a similar gap. Some of the routes have differing [[weather]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

'''Noibat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オンバット''' ''Onbat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Noivern}} starting at [[level]] 48.

==Biology==
Noibat is a pale purple bat-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with black pupils and black creases within them, a black triangular marking on the inner corner of each eye, three tufts of spiked fur on each cheek, two dark purple teardrop-shaped spots on the front of its face forming the shape of a nose-leaf, a black lower jaw, and two spiked tufts of fur on its upper lip. Its large, teardrop-shaped ears resemble {{wp|loudspeaker}}s; they are dark purple on the outside with alternating rings of pale and dark purple fading to black on the inside. Fluffy black fur covers its chest and hips. On the middle joint of its wings are small black hands with two fingers, and it has two long toes on each foot.

Noibat can be found in pitch black caves. They rest in the caves during the day and only leave during the night. From its large ears, it is capable of emitting any kind of wavelength of sound, including ultrasonic waves of up to 200,000 Hertz; no wavelength is beyond its ability to emit. It uses these waves to stun large creatures, communicate with other Noibat, and immobilize prey.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140223190622/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Other Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It also uses ultrasonic waves to perceive its surroundings, allowing it to fly in the dark. It is very fond of fruits, and uses its sonar to detect its ripeness. It tends to mistake {{p|Applin}} and [[Flapple (Pokémon)|Flapple]] (according to Noibat’s picture in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]]) for its food.

===Evolution===
Noibat evolves into {{p|Noivern}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In the TCG==
{{main|Noibat (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Noibat has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
** In addition, Noibat has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Noibat and its evolution are the only dual-type Flying/Dragon Pokémon to have Flying as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* Noibat's {{pmin|Germany|German}} name, eF-eM, is the only Pokémon name that uses the Latin alphabet and does not start with a capital letter.
* Originally, Noibat's [[Pokédex]] entry on the official Pokémon website was incorrect, showing it as a pure {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. It has since been rectified.
* Noibat can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Zubat}}, as they are both {{type|Flying}} Pokémon based on bats and can have {{a|Infiltrator}} as a possible [[Ability]]. They also share the same base stats, with their Attack and Special Attack switched around.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Noibat and its evolution did not learn {{m|Switcheroo}} by breeding.

===Origin===
Noibat appears to be based on bats, with a combination of traits from various fruit bats and insect-eating bats, as well as {{wp|wyverns}}. The design of its ears may be based on speakers.

====Name origin====
Noibat may be a combination of ''noise'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''.

Onbat may be a combination of 音 ''on'' (sound), 音波 ''onpa'' (sound wave), and バット ''bat''.

Talk:Catch rate

2025-03-15T11:27:47Z

Spider-mario: /* Let’s Go: Capture ring colour depends on throw that hasn’t happened yet */ new section

==Untitled==
The computer science term for "Floor" is, in fact, "int(", which simply truncates the number. "round(" would make a value like 6.9 become 7; "int(" would make it 6. I believe Zhen is correct in this case. ~Evan
:What was that in reference to? - Jshadias
::Zhen's edit and your subsequent reversion, if I read the history right. ~Evan
:::He was just editing it to make it consistent with my other changes. In any case, the after revision is the right-side column. In any case, trunc() and floor() are the same, but int() is ambiguous. It simply means conversion to integer, which could be rounding or truncating. Wish I could get TeX-rendering working... - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 09:40, 12 Feb 2005 (GMT)

== Is this formula accurate? ==

When using the formula

Chance = floor (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( CurrentHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + Status + 1

with Pokémon with high catch rates (ex. Pidgey and Rattata), the formula says that there should be about a 200% chance to catch a Pidgey at 100% HP. But there isn't a 200% chance or even a 100% chance. I caught 5 Pokémon on Route 1 of FireRed without weakening any of them and I used 15 Pokéballs. Despite the sample size, the fact that the Pokémon escaped even once is enough to raise concern about the formula. Any other thoughts on the matter? -Wild Eep

:Experimental data isn't the same as theoretical results. But then again, methinks you might be misinterpreting the results of using this formula. The formula does not return a percentage, it returns a number, and in order to capture a Pokémon, the randomly generated number between 0 and 255 (or possibly a higher number than that, say, 511) has to be below the number you obtain from this formula. But I'm not the game mechanics expert. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:16, 25 November 2005 (CST)

Hmm. . . using the formula for any pokémon at any level with full HP and no status ailments with a catch rate of 255 gives an output of 511. Every site I could find has the exact same formula, and they all say the random number is between 0-255. Those that site sources site [[user:Meowth346|Meowth346]] as their source, so maybe he knows, or can find out. [[User:Slim|Slim]] 15:54, 29 November 2005 (CST)

:Indeed, there seems to be something off with either this formula or the listed CatchRates. Trying to catch a Pokemon simply by chucking a normal Pokeball at it (that is, no damage done, no status changes) simplifies as so:

:Chance = floor (Poké Ball * (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( CurrentHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + Status + 1)

:Chance = floor (1 * (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( TotalHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + 0 + 1)

:Chance = floor ((( TotalHP * 2 * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + 1)

:Chance = floor (( 2 * CatchRate ) + 1)

:For any CatchRate of 128 or higher, Chance is at least 257. The random number between 0 and 255 this is compared to will always be less than this, and as a result any Pokemon with a CatchRate of 128 or higher should always be caught simply by chucking a Pokeball at it. Yet this does not seem to be the case -- you can't always catch an Abra this way, despite them having a CatchRate of 200. This should give them a Chance of 401, and thus a 100% catch rate.

::I just noticed something -- note the following line in the article:
:::'''CurrentHP''' is either the wild Pokémon's current HP, or if its current HP is greater than 255, use ''floor ( '''CurrentHP''' / 4)''.
::It doesn't make sense to simply replace '''CurrentHP''' with ''floor ( '''CurrentHP''' / 4)'' -- that would make for a very strange function, where a Pokemon with 256 HP would be easier to catch than one with 68. Replacing all of ''('''CurrentHP''' * 2 )'' just makes the problem worse. This suggests a typographical error somewhere in either the formula or its explanation.

::I had a hunch, and replaced ''(( '''TotalHP''' * 4 ) - ( '''CurrentHP''' * 2 ))'' with ''(( '''TotalHP''' / 4 ) - ( '''CurrentHP''' / 2 ))''. Unfortunately, that's not right either -- according to that forumla, a Pokemon above 50% health will have a negative Chance value and thus can NEVER be caught. We know that is not the case. However, I suspect something along those lines is the solution. Perhaps one of those multiplications is supposed to be a division instead. Is there any healthy chunk of experimental data to look at? [[User:Opaopa13|Opaopa13]] 05:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Examining an emulated copy of Pokemon Red, I did, indeed, find it impossible to NOT catch any Rattata or Pidgey I threw a Pokeball at. I was more than ready to believe this formula were true. But, as Opaopa13 said, we know it isn't, because anyone who has played the Red or Blue versions knows Abra is not so easy to catch.

Interestingly, I tried the same thing on a Pidgey in an emulated copy of the Gold version (throwing a ball at it when it was at full health), and failed to capture it until my third try.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE! - Pineapple

:It would be easy to explain this if Abra's catch rate was just wrong, but the catch rates must have been data-mined, so that's out. Allow me to be completely speculative here, but perhaps it's something like a rare few Pokemon having an additional chance to escape capture? Or certain catch rates that are influenced by what badges you have? It would be odd to have something like that when the programmers could just alter something's catch rate instead, though...

:Well, we _know_ we get the wrong results for Abra. I'm guessing there was some minor typo somewhere, or else some minor modifier to the formula we aren't aware of.

:On a side-note, I'm still really confused by the "if CurrentHP > 256, use (CurrentHP / 4) instead" thing. I just can't imagine any reason, technical or modelling-wise, where "use CurrentHP = 255" doesn't work just as well or better. Or at least divide by 2! (Pokemon HP never exceeds 1024, right? Thinking in terms of the number of bits it takes to represent these numbers...). [[User:Opaopa13|Opaopa13]] 19:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly suspect that the only problem with the formula on the site is the 2. I know that's how the old equation simplifies, so the original was probably off as well. 1+INT(B*(2-P)*C+S) makes perfect sense. Then a Pidgey or other Pokemon with a catch rate of 255 is guaranteed to be caught, since at full health and no ailments, you get 256. Any number from 0-255 will be lower than that, so you'll always catch it. On the other hand, a legendary Pokemon with 1/10th of its health left, paralyzed, with an ultra ball thrown an it, is 1+INT(2*1.9*3+5), or 17. 17/256 (since it's a less than roll, not less than or equal to) is about 6.6% (1 in 15). That seems about right, given that it's taken an average of 15-20 ultra balls for me to catch most of the legendaries. The current formula says it would be 28/256, or 10.9% (about 1 in 9), which is definitely not right. Easiest way to test would be to repeatedly try catching something with a catch rate around 120, using a standard ball, and see if it happens about half the time.

== The correct formula ==

Apparently someone at Smogon found an extremely complex formula on a Japanese website. A good friend of mine simplified it and it seems to be 100% Accurate:

( ( 1 - CurHP * 2 / ( MaxHP * 3 ) ) * Catch * Ball * Status ) / 256

Status:
*1 for Normal
*1.5 for Poisoned, Paralyzed, or Burned
*2 for Asleep or Frozen

Examples:
*A level 2 Rattata, with 13/13 HP, catch rate 255, using a Pokeball. No status effects.
**( ( 1 - 13 * 2 / ( 13 * 3 ) ) * 255 * 1 * 1 ) / 256
**= 0.33203125
**~ 33%
*A level 70 Regigigas, with 1/234 HP, frozen, catch rate 3, using a Dusk ball.
**( ( 1 - 1 * 2 / ( 234 * 3 ) ) * 3 * 4 * 2 ) / 256
**= 0.093482906
**~ 9%

== Formula is nowhere near correct ==

I just tried catching a Lv. 13 Feebas at full health (30 HP). I threw three dusk balls at it (while in the cavern, of course), and they all broke. On the fourth try I was able to catch it. It has a catch rate of 255, so according to this formula I have maybe a 400% chance of catching it at full health. Even going by the catch rate alone, I should have had a 100% chance of catching it. This wasn't an atypical situation either. I tried catching a few more before and after this one, and I generally wasn't able to capture them until I weakened them (I caught maybe one or two without hurting it). Once I threw an ultra ball at one, and it immediately broke. I think the pokemon's HP ratio definitely has a lot more to do with catching it than what this formula suggests.

If there are any sources on that other function that someone submitted in here (I don't know how to reply to comments, sorry :<), then that would be really nice. But I tried that equation on the above-mentioned feebas and got (1-(30*2)/(30*3))*255*4*1)/256 (the pokeball page on here says that the dusk ball is 4x in caverns, and Wikipedia says it's twice as good as an ultraball, so I'm going with 4x), which equals 340/256, or 1.328125. This is still above a 100% catch rate on something that seemed like it was maybe 50%. Even going with the assumption that the dusk ball is only 3x better than a pokeball, I still got 255/256, which awfully close to 100%. So unless the dusk ball didn't have its 3x/4x effect (maybe from me fishing in the cavern instead of walking in the cavern?), I don't think this function is true either.

:Were you surfing by any chance? There has to be some way to explain this. Feebas is extremely easy to capture regardless.

I think there should be an easier explanation included in this article, something of a tl;dr section. To me, this is all mathematical mumbo-jumbo, and I commonly fail anything and everything algebraic. I could honestly care less how the game determines how a pokemon is caught, I just know that I need to lower the HP of the wild Pokémon and possibly inflict a status problem on it to catch it. Also, on major thing that's missing from the article is it doesn't explain if a higher number for a catch rate is better or worse. It may be a dumb question to ask (but I don't honestly get it, either) but you quite often have to write for the five-year-old poké-tards that will be here.

::Luxury Balls increase the rate at which your pokemon becomes friendly from actions as outlined in the [[Happiness]] article.

== Reworking the ''a'' term ==

In every location in this article that I can tell, it would be clearer if ''a'' were already divided by 255, i.e. substituting ''a''/255 = ''a''/(2^8 - 1) in each formula with a new variable. (Even that odd-looking 16711680 is 255 * 65536 .) Then ''a'' simply becomes equal to the approximation to ''p'' and there is an obvious intuitive meaning to it. I used this idea in the new lede, and it'd probably be clearer to do this in the rest of the article as well.

Is there some reason why ''a'' was defined this way that I don't know of? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 11:39, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia on HP ==

There's a bit in the "Trivia" section about high-HP Pokémon being easier to catch at 1 HP than lower-HP ones. This is true, but it also states that "Pokémon with higher HP stats (such as Chansey) are easier to capture when their HP is reduced, despite low catch rates compared to others." But there isn't a big-enough effect to overwhelm the catch rate except at very very low HP levels. The equation in the current article can be reorganized this way:
a = catch_rate * ball_bonus * status_bonus * (1 - 2/3 * (currentHP / maxHP) )
And at 1 HP:
a = catch_rate * ball_bonus * status_bonus * (1 - 2/(3 * maxHP))
And comparing the HP penalties at 1 HP:
* 10 HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 10) = 1 - 2/30 = 6.7% penalty (i.e. 0.933x)
* 20 HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 20) = 1 - 2/60 = 3.3% penalty
* 100HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 100) = 1 - 2/300 = 0.66% penalty
* 200HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 200) = 1 - 2/600 = 0.33% penalty
... Once you get past 20ish HP, shaving off bits of that last 3% of (multiplicative) penalty is pretty negligible, equivalent to around 7 points of catch rate at most (3% of 255). [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 10:40, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

In Generation I, the mechanisms are somewhat different. For example, the number of shakes doesn't seem to be determined randomly and a Poké Ball can even entirely miss a target. Do the Gen.

::With this, if all the other factors in the formula multiplied would result in a number less than one, 'a' would be less than 255 and thus, the Pokémon would have a chance of escaping. Quoting from the article, "The minimum value for 'a' (for a Pokémon with full health) would be ⅓ × catch rate." Since the result of the formula without the BonusBall component has to be at least one for the Master Ball to work reliably, this means that the catch rate must at least be 3 (as ⅓ × 3 = 1).

All of what I've said above was, of course, simply evidence that pointed in the direction of a Master Ball with a value of 255.

If "a" is actually rounded down to an integer (which is actually stated in the article), then it would have to be at least 1 for the formula to work. However, this seems strange considering your last statement about the algorithm in Generation I. I haven't looked at it closely, but I guess it also needed catch rates of at least 3.

In the Critical Capture section right now, it says "A random number is generated, and if it is less than the modified value, a critical capture occurs." But what range is the random number in? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 20:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
:It seems sensible for the range to be 0 to 255 inclusive, since that is the base of the modified value. [[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 23:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

== Catch chance ==
Can anybody tell me whether the chance to catch a Pokémon in Generation I is equal to them in Generation II (and the others) or the chance is different? E.g. I throw an ordinary ball to a full-healthy Weedle. Is the chance to catch it in all generations identically (according to [[Weedle]] 33,3%) despite the fact the capture methods are different? I'm sorry again for my bad English! --[[User:LaBumm|LaBumm]] 04:29, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

== Doubt Generation III Algorithm ==
I'm starting to doubt the generation III algorithm. These are my findings in FireRed. I calculated for a paralyzed lvl 50 Moltres at 1 HP (exactly 1 HP due to endure) with a maximum HPmax of 165 (courtesy of Pokemon.Marriland.com) and a capture rate of 3 with an Ultra Ball. 
A = (3x165-2x1)x3x2/3/156x1.5 = 8 (rounded down) 
B = (2^16-1)xA^(1/4)/(255)^(1/4) = 27581 (rounded down) 
This gives a success rate of: 
(27581 / 65535)^4 = 0.031 (rounded down) or 3.1% 
At the moment I have thrown 400 (FOUR HUNDRED!) Ultra Balls, and still not captured it. 
The chance of that happening would be (1-0.031)^400 = 0.000002902 or 1:344550 
Please tell me I made a mistake in my calculation. It lies rather far outside the normal 0.05 error margin for experimental testing of hypotheses. 
I redid the same sort of testing for Zapdos, I didn't calculate my exact chances, this time I didn't manage to catch it in 200 tries. 
[[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 00:11, 25 November 2011 (UTC) EDITED: [[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 12:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I retried catching Moltres and this time I caught it after 15-20 tries. (I wasn't counting) 
The only differences I knew of:
* I had defeated team rocket in Saffron and Giovanni in Viridian's gym.
* I was facing it with a pokémon over lvl 50. (However I caught Articuno using a lvl 30-ish pokemon)
* It was at more than 1 HP (he had a two pixel health bar).

I retried catching Zapdos and this time I did 200 fruitless tries. I noticed that though it had very little health left, it almost always broke free at the first check. 
Something that you should know:
* I've been using a state reload system to quickly retry catching when the capture failed. (Otherwise these capture tests, which require as much attempts as possible, are infeasible.)

I managed to Capture Zapdos on try 41 after reloading the original save (not a state save), (re)initiating combat and then using the reload state method. This time it generally broke free much later, often passing two shake checks and only breaking free at the last check, until I captured it. 

Hypothesis:
* There's something that influences catch rate, which kicks in before you are at the [Use|Cancel] screen after selecting the capture device (Ultra Ball). 
[[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 17:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

* I believe your problem is the fact that you are using the same save state over and over. Typically, random number generators (RNG) initialize with a single random number called the seed and derive subsequent random values using a mathematical formula. When you save a state on your emulator, you are also saving the current state of the RNG used. So theoretically, you are asking the RNG for a random number in the same exact state each time, resulting in the same result every time you reload. I think this is why you managed to capture your Zapados some time after reloading the original save (new random seed). I'm not sure exactly how you used the reload state method after reinitializing combat. Did you have to hard reload the game 41 times or did you reload once and use the save state 41 times? Please elaborate on this. [[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 20:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

== Investigation of the RNG ==

I recently thought about the specific cases where the catch formula does not seem to describe the behavior of certain Pokemon. On review, I noticed that the catch formula assumes that every random number generated is completely independent of every other random number. If the random number were using some sort of non-deterministic input to calculate a new seed every time a number is requested, this certainly would be true; however, this is normally not the case.

Consider the case of an encounter with a rare Pokemon with a somewhat high catch rate. Assume that the game finds a new random seed whenever an encounter is supposed to happen (probably sometime before) and uses that number to both determine the Pokemon encountered and to seed further random numbers. When you ask the RNG to generate the next couple random numbers, they are completely dependent on the algorithm used and the seed. With a rare Pokemon, the number of random seeded values that result in an encounter with it is sizable, but smaller than a common Pokemon. If the RNG is not reseeded, the number of possible scenarios (with strings of random numbers) greatly decreases. In this case, it could simply be a mathematical oddity (of the algorithm) where the select few seeds that allows an encounter with a rare Pokemon has subsequent random values that allow it to easily be caught (or even possibly more difficult to catch).

If this is the case, then the rarity of each Pokemon can easily influence catch probabilities by "shaping" the subsequent numbers (by pure mathematical accident). Some random values might even be impossible for, let's say, the first pokeball thrown right after an encounter of a rarer Pokemon.
[[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 21:02, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

* Just ran a couple of scenarios on an emulated version of Pokemon White. If I load save states right before encountering a Pokemon (a legendary that you can approach), you can get different random seeds for the battle (first action resulted differently each time). This probably means that the seed for the battle is determined based on conditions right when you encounter the pokemon. [[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 23:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

:Just to let you know, I've done the investigation already :) Check Smogon's RNG Research thread[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=765] to get filled in on how the game seeds the battle RNG and (approximately) does the majority of battle RNG operations. RNG is only reseeded between battles. Every game uses 4 random numbers for the shake calculations, the only thing new in gen 5 is the critical capture calc.
:First it calculates if critical capture, then the shake/capture values. If result < CV, pass check. Total of 4 for regular catch, 1 for CC.

== A comment on Critical Capture ==

Having read through the article and especially the section describing the critical capture, it occurred to me that since it usually uses three shake checks, it is cubing the base probability of capture. By only using one shake check, it does not get cubed, which is why it allows capture to occur easier. However, the amount it increases capture rate is dependent on how difficult it is to capture in the first place. Another way to think about what I previously said is to take any specific set of conditions (a species in the wild, how much HP it has out of its total HP, and if it has any status ailments) and calculate the probability of catching it with any one type of ball. You could then take that final probability and, assuming that the same exact conditions and ball are used, a critical capture will increase the chances of capture to the cube root of the capture probability without a critical capture. This relationship means that the lower the capture rate is in specific conditions, the more difference a critical will make in the probability of catching it.

A couple examples would be if a legendary pokemon is attempting to be caught in specific conditions that would create a normal capture probability of 1%, if it is instead a critical capture, that will increase to a 21.5% capture probability. However, at higher capture probability this difference is much smaller. If there is an easily captured pokemon at low health, with a status ailment, and the normal capture probability is 90%, a critical capture in the same circumstances would mean a 96.5% capture probability.

Is this worth adding into the article, or am I just having too much fun with the math?[[User:Morranr|Mor'ranr]] 16:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

:It would be cool to see the adjusted probability of that helping, but I don't think it would be one dimensional because of the different critical capture rates.
: If critical capture calc passes, shake check once; else thrice.
:[[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 00:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

:I definitely think it is useful to point out the relationship, and the difference in effect between Pokémon with low rates and high rates. But it might be better to use "realistic" numbers for any examples in the article (i.e. 3/255 instead of 1%). [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
:<s>Wait, shouldn't it be fourth root? The article says there's needs to be one shake check to pass instead of ''four'' normally. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)</s>
:: Oops, no, was accidentally looking at a different generation. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 07:40, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
::: Fourth roots and third roots never happen in game. The b equation listed is just a probability of you catching (ie all the shake compares lumped together). It does a*0x100 > rand(0,65535) for a pass shake calc. 4 times for gen 3-4, 3x for gen 5 after criticalcapture. That's the one gripe I have about this page, the mathematical approximations aren't what the game does. [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 19:22, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
:::: I'm not sure what you're saying here. Yes, the algorithm used for a shake check is not literally a third or fourth root. But while it's nice to document the exact algorithm somewhere, it's probably much more useful to explain the practical results of the algorithm - thus why there are the approximations used in the lede (and occasionally sprinkled elsewhere). You can be sure that when the game designers were playing with formulas, they were doing it in general terms, not caring about whether the RNG was 16-bit or whether a division rounded up or down. The algorithms in the code are crafted to follow their intent. (The difference is famously illustrated in that [https://www.google.com/search?q=pokemon+serious+business old "Pokémon: Serious Business" image] that had an old version of this article - indeed, it's what inspired me to craft the new lede in the first place.) Let's keep our audience in mind.
:::: Though, that does bring up something else: it might be a good idea to more clearly separate the exact algorithms from the approximate interpretations, instead of the hodgepodge mix in the article currently. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:::: Kaphotics (or, anyone), could you elaborate on "It does a*0x100 > rand(0,65535) for a pass shake calc."? I don't understand how multiplying by 256 is equivalent to 65536 / (255/''a'')(1/4) as listed in the article. —[[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 10:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
::::: When I wrote that I wasn't thinking clearly, it does keep the 4th root and such. For every check it does - rand(0xFFFF) and compares it to b. If it is less than b, it passes the wiggle calc and checks again until it either fails or the wiggles result in capture. [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 17:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

== Generation V -- Interesting Probabilities ==

Since we are still getting the 4th root of the initial probability a and doing 3 shake checks, that makes the chance of capture when the critical capture chance is 0 equal to a3/4.

This takes what would normally be a linear probability always equal to a and puts it on an exponential curve.

If we have more than 30 in the dex, the probability now changes. There is a (a*m)*a1/4 chance of getting a critical capture and then succeeding in capture. Let m be the multiplier for critical capture which is based on the amount caught in the Pokédex. There's also a (1 - a*m)*a3/4 chance of getting a normal capture. So, the total chance of getting a capture is now (a*m)*a1/4 + (1 - a*m)*a3/4 (with m=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5 respectively).

What this does is make an increasingly steeper curve the higher the value of m, but the curve always starts at (0, 0) and ends at (1, 1).
Actually, in the higher values for m, the curve actually gets so steep that it begins to increase a by more than 100% for part of the curve, which suggests a higher chance of capture when the Pokémon isn't completely at its weakest.
I just thought this information was interesting. It's almost like catching Pokémon has its own level up system. [[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 00:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

== Level ball ==

The formula seems to be flawed for the Level Ball. I'm playing HeartGold and I was trying to catch a level 4 Aipom (full health) using my level 58 Crobat. According the the formula, I should have had a 140% chance of catch the Aipom with a Level Ball. I threw 3 or 4 level balls at the Aipom and all of them broke. I've generally found most Pokémon to be more difficult to catch than this formula and their catch rates indicated that they should be, but the Level Ball, in particular, doesn't seem to increase catch rates significantly, if at all.

== The Formula Simplified (as much as possible) ==
Here's the simple explanation (in Gen V): Your chances to catch a Pokemon are based on 5 things normally (6, if you count capture power, but that is not a normal thing).

'''1st. Species Specific Catch Chance:''' Meaning some pokemon are super easy to catch and come are super hard. The only way to look get this is to just look up the Pokemon, it's Catch Rate is listed in it's info box (on a scale of 0 to 255). So, if it has a 255, you will catch it.
:Pretty much a 100% chance. If it is a 45 (like Celibi) then you only have a 6% chance to catch it before any other factors.

'''2nd. It's Current Health:''' If the creature is at full HP, than your normal chances are cut to 1/3. This means that a 255 would be a 33% chance with a Pokeball at full HP and a Celibi would be a 2% chance. This continues to decrease all the way to 1 HP,
:which gives you between 99% and 99.9% of your normal. Meaning the HP basically no longer negatively affects your catch chance at 1 HP.

'''3rd. The Type of Ball Used:''' You have a normal chance with a Pokeball. Your chance is multiplied by 1.5x for a Great Ball, 2x for an Ultra Ball, 3x for a Repeat or Net Ball, 3.5x for Dive or Dusk Ball, 4x for a Timer or Nest Ball (at max), and 5x for a Quick Ball.
:These all assume you are using them correctly (i.e. Dusk in caves, Repeat on owned Pokemon, and Quick in round 1). Timer and Nest balls can multiply your chances by everything from 1x to 4x (including 3.2134x or some other random number).
:Nest Balls are 4x for a level 1 Pokemon, 3x for a level 11, 2x for a level 21, and 1x for everything above level 30. Timer balls are 1x in the first round, 2x after 10 rounds, 3x after 20, and 4x after 30 rounds.
:This means, if you are trying to catch a pokemon with a catch rate of 255 (easiest possible) at full HP with a Great Ball your chances would start at 100% for the 255, drop to 33% because he is at full HP, and then would increase back to 50% with a Great Ball ((((255 * .33) * 1.5) = 114.75) 114.75/255 = 0.495).
:The same Pokemon would be a 100% chance of catching it with a Quick, Dive, or Dusk Ball (also 100% with a Nest or Timer Ball at max conditions). It is still a 99% chance with a Repeat or Net Ball. It is only a 66% chance; however, with an Ultra Ball or a 50% chance with a Great Ball.
:It would be a 33% chance with a normal Pokeball (Basically normal, Great, and Ultra Balls suck).

'''4th. Status Ailments:''' This is simple, and it stacks multiplicity. Meaning if the pokemon is Paralyzed, Poisoned, or Burned then your chances are 1.5x and if it is Slept or Frozen, then your chances are 2.5x.
:So, in the above example, a 255 Pokemon (100%) at full HP (33%) using a Great Ball (1.5x) gives you a 50% chance. If that same Pokemon is Paralyzed then your chances increase to 75%. If it is Paralyzed AND Poisoned then your chances are 100%.
:Also, if it was JUST Asleep (no Poison or Paralysis) then your chances are still 100% ((255 (Catch Rate) * 0.33 (Full HP) = 84.15) (84.15 * 1.5 (Great Ball) = 126.225) (126.225 * 2.5 = 315.5625) That is higher than 255 so you have a 100% chance).

'''5th. Dark Grass:''' Basically this means that if your encounter is in Dark Grass it is harder to catch the Pokemon based on how far through the game you are. In the beginning of the game, it will further decrease the penalty for it's HP by up to half and at the end of the game you will have full chances.
:100% normal chance if you have more than 600 Completed Pokedex Entries (not just seen, but caught). You will have a 90% of your normal chance if you have between 451 and 600 completed Pokedex entries, 80% for 301 to 450 entries, 70% for 151 to 300 entries, 60% for 30 to 151 entries,
:and 50% of your normal chance if you have less than 30 completed Pokedex entries. Meaning, almost the entire game you will sit at 60% in dark grass. This means that if you have a Pokemon with a Catch Rate of 255 at full HP and you tried to catch him with a normal Pokeball then normally you have a 33% chance.
:If it happens in Dark Grass you have a 16.6% chance. If you used an Ultra Ball, normally you would have a 66% chance, in Dark Grass you would have a 33% chance. The math is a little longer to show here but ...
:Here: (250HP x3 = 750 - (250x2) = 250) <- 1st half of the HP formula. now ((250 * .5 (Dark Grass)) = 125), then (125 * 2 (Ultra Ball) = 250) and Finally ((250/(250 * 3)) = 0.333) <- 2nd half of the HP formula.

I know that is sort of long, but I hope that makes more sense.

EDIT: Sorry forgot that whole Capture Power thing. The 6th factor is Capture Power.

How rare is it to get a Critical Capture?

:It says how rare it is.

The example can't be right. It says, that catching Kyurem with catch rate 3 with max HP and Pokéball has a probability of 0.4%, which is right. For a critical capture the value 25.03% is given, which is (0.4%)^(1/4) or the forth-root of the chance, respectively. But why should it be the forth-root instead of third-root? Remember that in Gen V only THREE shake checks are performed. The example would be right for Gen IV, but not for Kyurem. Or is there something I do not understand? - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 23:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

:I have checked the version history now. In fact this example has been done before finding out that since Generation V only three shakes are performed (or one for a critical capture).

:I believe it means the game uses 12 fractional bits. If the program is executed in the order shown, "(3*HP_MAX - 2*HP_Current)*rate*ball/3/HP_MAX*status", the "/3" will round the result then "/HP_Max" will round the result again. If we were only dealing with int data types, each division would round the result to the next lowest integer (1/3 = 0, 13/10 = 1, 9000/4096 = 2). The fractional bits ensure a calculation like 400/3 yields 546133/4096 (133.33325) instead of just 133 - an error of .006% instead .25%.

:::Likely there are only 3 checks for some reason, since it's Generation V, and probably people have simply ripped out code from theame itself. Also, I am sure 3 checks would actually make Pokémon ''easier'' to catch. Checking for eg. a 3/255 four times gives a lower chance than checking for it three times.

== Is the Information for Generation VI Truly Missing? ==

I may be mistaken with regard to most of this, but in my experience, the Generation VI games ''seem'' to use basically the same formula to calculate modified catch rate as Generation V, except for the following differences: there are no longer Pass Powers that increase catch rate, but instead an [[O-Power]] can increase catch rate using different coefficients applied in the same part of the formula; and there is no longer a dark grass factor (maybe a flower factor in X and Y?). I know that Pokémon are able to break out of Poké Balls after two shakes, suggesting that the game performs four shake checks, but is there evidence to suggest that the formula that calculates shake probability is different in Generation VI than it was in Generations III-V?
Now, what I'm trying to figure out by posting this topic is what we suspect works in ways we do not understand in Generation VI. What is there to research, and how would we go about doing this research? I would happily help out with this research in any way I can. [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 23:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
:The issue isn't that we suspect it works differently somehow; it's that nobody has analyzed the capture routine in the code for the sixth-generation games, so we can't actually know how it works the way we do for the previous games. It's quite likely that it works exactly as you suggest, with the same method as gen V except with four shake checks, but probabilistic formulas are essentially impossible to figure out reliably by experimentation. That said, it could be useful to gather a lot of data just to see if the probabilities seem to match up with what we'd expect if it's gen V with four shake checks.

::Thank you for your thorough reply, Dragonfree. Your suggestion to test if the probability is what it would be if Generation V performed a fourth shake check is probably the best path we can take, so I might try to do the experimentation on my own as I like to think I have a fair bit of skill when it comes to collecting, managing, and analyzing data. I think I may use a Pokémon which I may find easily and which has a fairly low catch rate to test so that it won't be guaranteed to be caught in a Quick Ball (i.e. I can attract {{p|Skarmory}} by leading with a Pokémon with {{a|Magnet Pull}}, and Skarmory's catch rate is low for a non-legendary Pokémon at 25). Also, I can record the number of shake checks the ball passes in each attempt just in case there was a change to how the games calculate that. I don't know exactly how many data points I'll collect, but probably between 1,000 and 5,000 to reduce error as much as possible. If I get conclusive data, I'll put my findings under this talk page topic. Perhaps there are other users who would like to help test this as well?

== Critical catch shakes in Gen VI ==

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Catch_rate&diff=2212060&oldid=2209174 Recently] the critical capture section was edited to say that Gen VI has two shake checks on a critical capture. Either someone must have looked at the code/debugged the process, or someone saw two shakes on a critical capture. I doubt it was the former, though (and if it was, the source should be cited). Which leaves the latter...

I can't see how it could be the latter, though. As far as I remember, critical capture in X/Y did one shake. Did ORAS perhaps change this? Can someone with ORAS confidently say how many times the ball shakes on a critical capture? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:43, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

:Critical captures in ORAS definitely only do one shake, like in Gen V. However, do note that when normally when a ball shakes once and then breaks, it means the ball failed the ''second'' shake check - the first happens before any shakes. This is unlike Gen V critical captures, where the ball always shakes once and only then does the single shake check. So it is possible that a) the editor is right and the sixth-generation games perform a shake check both before and after the shake on a critical capture (and thus a failed critical capture can either fail ''before'' or ''after'' the shake), or b) the one shake simply confused the editor into thinking two shake checks were involved based on their understanding of what shakes normally mean. Presumably it would be best to ask them. [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] ([[User talk:Dragonfree|talk]]) 17:36, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
::Since {{u|Pokémon}} visited my talk page to inform me of a comment [[User talk:Dragonfree#Critical Captures|on Dragonfree's talk page]] responding to this issue, I would like to "move" it here so that any of us (or anyone else) can freely respond without having to do so on a single user's talk page.

''Well, my source is my own experience. I saw Pokémon several times breaking out after two shakes though critical capture. The first time I was surprised, because I read on this page before that with one shake the capture would be sure.

''(Furthermore I saw them breaking out within all four different shake steps, so there must be also four all in all.) 
''But what [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] recently has done is muddle. He also changed the probability for the non-critical capture for different generations which should be wrong. Regardless of three or four shakes - the whole probability remains the same. (0.39% in the example)

::First off: I cannot help but doubt what you think you saw. I can only think you are mistaken that it was a critical capture. I would like to hear from someone else that it is possible for two shakes to occur in a critical capture. (Also, can you say whether you saw it in XY or in ORAS?)
::(FWIW: the 0.39% thing has reared its head again on a new comment from Pokémon [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Critical Captures|on my talk page]]. I will attempt to address it there.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:38, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

The editor - me - has seen both situations while critical capture: breaking after one and after two shakes. It would also make sense, because there are totally four checks again. I saw that in X & Y. But I see, as I have no solid proof... 
So and why should the formula of b in GenV contain 65536 (=2^16) instead of 65535 (=2^16-1) like it always does? 65536 also is inconsistent with the other generations.--- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 15:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:Alright, if you want to discuss 65536 vs 65535 here... I agree with you. Thank you for pointing out the "other generations" this time. The Gen III-IV formula is the same as the Gen V formula (after some transformation, and ignoring 65536 vs 65535), so I agree that it should probably be 65535.

::No, it's definitely 6553'''6''' in the fifth generation, not 65535.

Please don't make edits based on vague common-sense feelings about what seems right when there are known facts at hand.
::Meanwhile, Pokémon, you do realize critical captures that ''succeed'' only show one shake? Are you suggesting it sometimes shows a whole extra shake only if you fail? That sounds quite unlikely, especially since if they ''did'' want to incorporate two shake checks into critical captures, the logical way to do it would be like with regular shake checks, where one happens before the first shake and the second happens just after it. I'm sorry, but unless you can provide something more solid than anecdotal experience, it's more likely that you just mistook a non-critical capture for a critical, one way or another. I've seen people swear they personally saw completely impossible things on their Pokémon games hundreds of times before, so I'm inclined to take "This happened to me once" stories with a grain of salt - nothing against you personally, but human perception and memory can be pretty flawed.

:::::The calculator uses the level to calculate the Pokémon's actual HP, mostly significant if you select the "Exactly 1 HP" option - it makes a bit of a difference whether the Pokémon has one out of 20 HP or one out of 200 HP.

::::::From the level alone you can't know the max HP, thats no precision. And percent is percent, neither it is needed to know the exactly HP nor the level.

:::::::It's not the level alone - we also know the species, and thus its base HP, and wild Pokémon's EVs are always zero. The only remaining variable needed to determine the max HP is the IV, and the calculator calculates the result for each of the 32 possible IVs. By default the calculator then averages the results, since each IV is generally equally likely, but if you check the "Show detailed report?" box, you'll see the exact results for each HP IV.
:::::::Percent is percent, yes, but 1 out of 20 HP is 5%, while 1 out of 200 HP is 0.5%. Like I said, it's only actually significant at exactly 1 HP. Usually you don't actually know the Pokémon's exact current HP, so there's an unavoidable margin of error there either way, but by calculating the actual max HP we can get guaranteed exact results at full and 1 HP (this is why I have a special "exactly 1 HP" option, separate from "1%"). And while the results at full HP will be pretty much identical no matter what the actual max HP is, there are rounding errors that this allows for taking into account accurately, which I like to do because as I said, I like precision.
:::::::Please consider that maybe I know what I'm talking about. I've spent a ''lot'' of time on these pages and calculators; I assure you I didn't just throw the level in there for no reason. [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] ([[User talk:Dragonfree|talk]]) 00:18, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

::::::::But I wonder why the result is also influenced, when I set neither 100% nor 1 HP but e.g. 40%? A percentage is already most precise and independent from the level! I have seen there differences of over three percent between level 1 and 100 which is a large amount and no rounding errors. Just want to understand that phenomenon and why I can't calculate these results with the formulas on Bulbapedia... --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 11:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::Ah, that's just because when you set a percentage, the calculator uses it to come up with an actual integer current HP value to use in the calculation, and at very low max HPs that can introduce a slightly significant error. So, rounding errors, but not in the formula per se. (Actually, it was a bigger rounding error than it needed to be; I just made a small change that reduces it.) In general it's always going to be a bit fuzzy when you're not at 100% or exactly one HP, because both the HP bar itself and the player's approximation of how much of it is filled inevitably introduce a degree of error. I'd rather have it show the actual results for a reasonable guess at the exact HP than make up a general fuzzy result for that percentage of HP, though. The calculators simulate the calculations the game performs very exactly; having the HP part just rely on it being roughly such-and-such kind of defeats the point. (Besides, of course, that this way the result is exact at 100% or exactly 1 HP without having to special-case it.)

would a=2.5, or be rounded down to 2, or up to 3 before put into the equation for b. [[User:Zombiedude347|Zombiedude347]] ([[User talk:Zombiedude347|talk]]) 22:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

== Are we sure the shake probabilities for Gen III-VI are correct? ==

And I don't mean just numerically correct--I ask because, the formula written down for Gen III-IV is:
'''''b'' = 1048560 / sqrt(sqrt(16711680/''a''))''';
which is weird, since it uses numbers that require 3-bytes to represent. It is made even weirder when you consider that the formula there is ''exactly'' equivalent to:
'''''b'' = 65535 / sqrt(sqrt(255/''a''))''';
which takes numbers of no more than 2-bytes, which makes a lot more sense, and unless the former was ripped straight from the code, seems closer to what the function actually would be (since it takes up less memory and uses numbers on a similar scale found elsewhere in the mechanics).

This also makes me want to ask if the shake probabilities on Gen V and Gen VI don't have a small typo, since both have similar formulas to the above (though Gen VI has a denominator of (255/''a'')^0.1875), but instead of 65535, they have 65536, which is 1 off, but is 17-bit to 65535's 16-bits and that would be...inelegant. It would break the symmetry, since if it's 65535, then Gen III-V would all have the same shake probability function, and it seems a little silly to tweak it by 1 in a way that would require an extra byte of memory for the input, and right before a more substantial tweak in the very next gen.
But I don't know--for all I know, that could be faithfully ripped straight from the source code.

[[User:Xovvo|Xovvo]] ([[User talk:Xovvo|talk]]) 20:46, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
:Yes, they are correct, and all of these numbers are indeed taken straight from the actual code.

:Your Gen III/IV alternative formula is actually ''not'' exactly equivalent, because the square roots and divisions prior to Gen V are integer operations, i.e. they always round down: if they used the shorter version, then any ''a'' of 16 or above would actually give the same ''b'', which would be completely absurd. (255/16 gets rounded down to 15, the square root of which is rounded down to 3, the square root of which is rounded down to 1, and we end up with a ''b'' of 65535, exactly like if ''a'' were 255.) Effectively, Game Freak took the formula they wanted and multiplied by 16 both above and below the line, in order to have bigger numbers to work with in the calculation that would result in less drastic rounding errors. (There are still fairly major rounding errors, mind you; any ''a'' of 200 or above still results in a ''b'' of 65535.)

:The reason Gen V-VI use 65536 and not 65535 is that there is a tiny chance for the Pokémon not to be caught if ''b'' is 65535; presumably they ''wanted'' ''b'' to be able to be 65536 all along but originally used 65535 exactly because 65536 can't be stored in a two-byte register. In Gen V onwards they're using bigger fixed-precision numbers where they can fit 65536 in just fine anyway.

:* Throwing a Poke Ball on turn 1 until caught (or unless lead Pokemon faints)

And my data as follows (using 100 standard Poke Balls)
: Normal throws (catch/miss ratio) = 42:44 (49%)
: Critical throws = 12:2 (85%)

Which is close to the expected catch rate. Also note a much lower incidence of critical throws this time (1:7 versus 2:5). Hmmm...

(This also gives me a huge supply of Lv.60 Zigzagoons for performing a level-matched experiment later)
--''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 20:29, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the level is affecting the catch rate? Doesn't crit rate increase the more the Pokedex is filled? Would the results skew to more misses if you have a very incomplete Pokedex, or does it just affect the chance of a crit happening?

== Generation I "Great ball better than Ultra" ==

Upon reading the Gen I article i got very confused by this:

"Due to the nature of the algorithm, Ultra Balls will only perform better than Great Balls on Pokémon whose capture rates are above 55 and below 200 in Generation I. Ultra Balls increase the overall chance of capture by as much as 20% in comparison to Great Balls for Pokémon near the center of that range."

This is not at all what the full algorithm description says, neither what the formula says. The only benefit of great ball is on step 6 when the pokémon has more than 1/3 hp. I would guess that the contributor forgot to say that his statement is only valid against 100% hp pokémons? Which is not a very useful info anyway.

There appears to be a couple of errors in the Gen 8 formula. Firstly, the value of 'a' seems to be too large, possibly by a factor of 4096. Secondly, the species based catch rate is referred to as 'ratemodified', yet there does not appear to be any modification. If I am not misunderstanding, it should simply be called 'rate'.

According to the article:

“Additionally, the value of <math>\overline{a} = \frac{a}{players \times \sqrt{bonus_{technique}}}</math> determines the color of the capture ring”

But <math>\text{bonus}_\text{technique}</math> refers to whether the throw is nice, great or excellent, which is not yet known when the capture ring appears. Is it perhaps meant to be <math>\text{bonus}_\text{berry}</math> instead?

== Sketch oddities ==

Some things I've experimented with in Unova:

* Since Smeargle can Sketch moves off an ally in a [[double battle]], all you have to do in Gen V to copy any move of interest is walk into your favorite patch of dark grass, and sketch it directly from Smeargle's partner. For example, I got Smeargle to sketch {{m|Hidden Power}} from my starter {{p|Serperior}}....
** ...but the NPC in [[Mistralton City]] still says that my Smeargle "can't learn Hidden Power". Ha! :)
* You can even sketch {{m|Transform}} right off one of your own {{p|Ditto}}, but only if the attempt to Transform fails first. (Which is the harder part, but still doable.)

--''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 01:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

:: The NPC in Mistralton isn't wrong - Smeargle can't ''learn'' Hidden Power. It can only ''Sketch'' it. The only move it "learns" is Sketch. It's a subtle but significant distinction. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 08:54, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

: Pokemon White Version. In the meantime, at the risk of sounding like an FAQ I did resolve several ways to make Smeargle learn Transform:
* Go to the [[Giant Chasm]] with a Ditto and Smeargle in your party. Encounter a wild Ditto in a double battle, allow it to transform first, then attempt to Transform into it (which fails) and Sketch your Ditto.
* Take a Zorua/Zoroark and Ditto into ''any'' double battle and attempt to Transform into Zorua/Zoroark. It fails because of Illusion, then swap out Zorua/Zoroark for Smeargle and Sketch your Ditto. But you will need something else (like an item) to spend Ditto's turn on while you're swapping out for Smeargle.
* Have Smeargle use Substitute against any wild Ditto. This makes Ditto's Transform fail, and you can Sketch Transform directly. (Which is almost beautiful in its simplicity.)

:BTW, the article currently says that Sketch can copy Transform only from Gen IV onwards, however we do have an image showing a [[a:File:Transform_II.png|Gen 2 Smeargle using Transform]]. The Substitute method is technically available as far back as Gen 2, is anyone up for attempting to verify whether it works? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 17:21, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

== A way to copy Sketch onto anyone? ==

Here is a way to give certain Pokemon Sketch (and thus any move). Would this work?

I understand that this may be forum-y, but maybe this could be trivia?

A Pokemon (say Alakazam) is sent out against a Smeargle. Alakazam knows Mimic and Trick, is slower than Smeargle, and is holding a Leppa Berry. On the first turn, Smeargle uses Sketch (and it fails). Alakazam uses Mimic and copies Sketch (temporarily, since if the process is stopped right now it will disappear by the end of the battle). On the next turn, Smeargle has no moves left, so it uses Struggle. Alakazam uses Trick and gives Smeargle the Leppa Berry, which restores the PP for Sketch. On the next turn, Smeargle uses Sketch and copies Trick, and Alakazam uses Sketch. Alakazam sketches Sketch, and obtains it permanently. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 03:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Clefairy would select Metronome, sleep through it, then Smeargle would target Clefairy with Sketch and fail.

== Gen II Smeargle breeding ==

The availability of Smeargle as a father in Gen II is limited only by the imagination (and maybe Egg Groups :P). However, the practice is something extremely difficult.

I'm currently trying to get a Smeargle to Sketch Reversal in my Pokémon Crystal Version. However, I'm running into some significant problems.
- Reversal can only be learned by Heracross (Lv 44), Kangashkan (Lv 49), and Hitmonlee (Lv 51). All of these Pokémon at this level have a significant Attack stat.
- Smeargle only appear in the wild at Lv 20-22, and have less-than-spectacular Defense.

Has anyone ever been able to Sketch Reversal successfully in Gen II?
My current strat is to take my Heracross to Rte 37, battle wild Growlithe until I get Burned (which will lower my Attack), then go to the Ruins and try to use Reversal on a Smeargle.

If anyone has any other suggestions that have been successful, PLEASE share! :)
[[User:TwilightHylian|TwilightHylian]] ([[User talk:TwilightHylian|talk]]) 17:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

I've done this successfully with heavy quantifiers, due to Gen II Egg Moves being incredibly poorly planned. A Burned lvl 49 Kangaskhan courtesy of Magmar in the Burned Tower basement, has the lowest attack stat of any possible Sketch donor. Given that moves cannot be learned via Sketch in linked Vs battles, the best hope is to have a Kangaskhan with crap Atk IVs meet a Smeargle with good Def IVs. It took me roughly 2-3 hours of using Reversal at full health while burned on wild Smeargle before one finally lived and proved to be problematic to catch to boot! {{unsigned|Hobbs678}}
:Some other points on how this could be made easier:
* When breeding, if both parents know a move that the baby can learn by leveling up, the baby will also know that move. Since Heracross can be both male and female (unlike the other two Pokémon that learn Reversal by level), if you have a male and female Heracross that both know Reversal, you can breed a Level 5 Heracross that knows Reversal. Then you can just have your low-level Heracross use Reversal on a wild Smeargle, then Sketch Reversal from the wild Smeargle.
* Scyther and Yanma both learn Reversal as Egg Moves from Heracross directly, so you can breed one of those two to have Reversal, then do the same as above.
* I believe it is possible to Sketch (and keep) moves in the Trainer House in Generation II, like Secret Bases in Generation III. That way, if you set up a Trainer party with Reversal, you could just level up your Smeargle enough to survive it. Or give it a BrightPowder so that Reversal misses, then Sketch can go through. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:05, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

* In Generations II-V, Steel type Pokémon resisted {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} type moves.
* {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in Generation VI.

===Additional effects===
Steel-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition.

In [[Generation II]], the Steel type's immunity to Poison-type moves means Steel-type Pokémon can only be {{status|poisoned}} by {{m|Twineedle}} and cannot be {{status|badly poisoned}}. Starting from [[Generation III]], Steel-type Pokémon are innately immune to both types of poison unless the Pokémon inflicting it has the [[Ability]] {{a|Corrosion}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]].

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}} Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Steel-type (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 39 Steel-type [[move]]s, which makes up 4.17% of all moves (excluding those that are Steel-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 8th most common type among moves, after {{t|Fire}} and before {{t|Poison}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Steel-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Metal (TCG)}}
Introduced in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set, Metal-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}} and {{TCG|Fighting}} with resistances to {{TCG|Grass}} and {{TCG|Psychic}}. Metal-type Pokémon can be strong against {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, whilst some {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Trivia==
* The Steel type has the most resistances of any type.
* As of [[Generation IX]], Steel-type Pokémon have the highest average base {{stat|Defense}} of all types.
* [[Generation VII]] introduced the most Steel-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with 13, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Steel-type Pokémon since the type was created, with four.
*[[Generation VIII]] introduced the most Steel-type [[move]]s of any generation, with eight, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type moves since the [[type]] was created, with {{m|King's Shield|one}}.
* In [[Generation II]], the Steel type saw one type change in a Pokémon family ({{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}), but no change in moves. The opposite is true for the {{t|Dark}} type, which saw one type change in a move ({{m|Bite}}), but no change in a Pokémon.
* Before Generation VI, Steel was the only type that had a non-neutral type match-up with all the seventeen existing types, considering both the offense and defense of both types. In Generation VI, it was changed so that Steel no longer resisted Dark- or {{type|Ghost}} moves.
* Each of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] types inflict a different amount of damage when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon ({{t|Grass}} does ½× damage, {{t|Water}} does 1× damage, and {{t|Fire}} does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared by the {{t|Bug}} type.
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Dark}} type for most Pokémon that gain it upon evolving, with a total of thirteen each.
* The Steel type is the only type that resists {{type|Dragon}} moves.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation II]], there were no pure Steel-type Pokémon until [[Generation III]], with {{p|Mawile}} (at the time) and {{p|Registeel}}.
* Every generation since the Steel type debuted has introduced at least one Steel-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* The Steel type is the last type to receive a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt}} type specialist in [[Pokémon GO]].
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Poison}} type for being the most common type among [[Ultra Beasts]], with three Ultra Beasts being Steel- or Poison-type each.
** They are also the only types to share an immunity to a [[status condition]], both being immune to [[Poison (status condition)|poisoning]].
* The Steel type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Normal}} (not including [[Pokéstar Studios]] opponents).

'''Togetic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲチック''' ''Togechick'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Togepi}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Togekiss}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Togetic is a dainty, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is small in stature. It is white with a red and blue triangular ring pattern on its body. It also has a relatively long neck and long legs and a pair of wings on its back, giving it a vaguely angelic appearance. Togetic is capable of levitating itself without needing to flap its wings.

Togetic can sense the kindness in other people and Pokémon's hearts. Whenever it spots a pure-hearted person, it tends to go to that person and shower them with happiness and glowing down called "joy dust". To share its happiness, it is said to fly around the world seeking these people. If it is not with kind people, however, it becomes dispirited and loses energy. Togetic is rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living within the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Togetic is known to occasionally sleep while floating and steadily flapping its wings.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is believed that a mysterious power is keeping Togetic in the air.

===Evolution===
Togetic evolves from {{p|Togepi}} and evolves into {{p|Togekiss}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Togebo Togetic.png|thumb|180px|Togetic in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{main|Togebo}}
Prior to the events in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'', [[Jasmine]] left two Togetic in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] Center near [[Goldenrod City]]. They first appeared silhouetted in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''. The {{pkmn|Egg}} that was born from them was passed on to [[Professor Elm]] for research, who then passed it on to {{adv|Gold}}. The Egg eventually hatched into [[Togebo]], a {{p|Togepi}}. They physically appeared in ''[[PS155|Capital Kabutops]]''.

In ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'', a Togetic was sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

In ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} rented a Togetic during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge.

The Battle Factory rented a Togetic, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', Togebo evolved into a Togetic and right after into a {{p|Togekiss}}, due to the [[Shiny Stone]] that [[Lance]] gave him.

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

==Trivia==
* Togetic and its evolution are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Flying}} and {{egg|Fairy}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** Also, they are the only Fairy-type Pokémon in the Flying Egg Group.
* Togetic shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Blissey}}. They are both known as the Happiness Pokémon.
* Togetic is tied with {{p|Vespiquen}} for the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Among all Pokémon to be the slowest of their respective types, Togetic (and Vespiquen) are the fastest.
* Togetic and {{p|Typhlosion}} are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation II]] not to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} until the next [[generation]].

===Origin===
Togetic's design appears to draw inspiration from a {{wp|fairy}}, a baby {{wp|bird}}, and an egg. It may also be based on an {{wp|angel}}.

====Name origin====
Togetic and Togechick may be a combination of 刺 ''toge'' (spike) and ''{{wp|chick}}'' (a baby bird).

'''Togekiss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲキッス''' ''Togekiss'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Togetic}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Togepi}}.

==Biology==
Togekiss is a white, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an ovoid body. While its feet are small and situated closely together, its wings are broad and triangular. Red and blue triangular markings over its underside, and it has a short tail consisting of three feathers. On the back of its head are three spikes: a red-tipped one on the right, a blue-tipped one on the left, and a pure white one in the middle. Togekiss has a relatively flat face and small, black eyes.

Togekiss have long been known worldwide as bringers of blessings, being depicted on good-luck charms since ancient times. It is said that Togekiss brings good luck simply by virtue of its existence. However, they only appear in peaceful places and have never been witnessed anywhere near conflict or turmoil, making their recent sightings exceptionally rare. It shares many kind gifts and sweet blessings when it visits peaceful places or sees people who avoid strife and respect the rights of others. However, Togekiss is a capable fighter, and can use {{m|Aura Sphere|a powerful energy wave}} in battle. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], seeing several Togekiss sleeping contently is a sign that peace reigns in the area.

===Evolution===
Togekiss evolves from {{p|Togetic}} and is the final form of {{p|Togepi}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Togekiss]]====
A female Togekiss made its animated series debut in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', originally under the ownership of [[Princess Salvia]]. Salvia wanted to enter a [[Pokémon Contest]] but could not due to her royal obligations. Therefore, she swapped places with {{an|Dawn}} for a day and entered the {{to|Arrowroot}} Contest with Togekiss. After winning, she gave Togekiss to Dawn as a {{pkmn2|gift}} as she felt the Jubilee Pokémon would be better off with a traveling {{pkmn|Coordinator}}.

====Other====
In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} used her Togekiss in her [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{Ash}}, where it battled against {{AP|Pikachu}} before being recalled. In ''[[JN124|Valor: A Strategic Part of Battling!]]'', it was used to battle against {{AP|Lucario}} and was [[Dynamax]]ed, only to wound up getting defeated in [[JN125|the next episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Togekiss debuted in the opening sequence of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Opal Togekiss Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Togekiss in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pocket Monsters DP===
A Togekiss appeared in [[PMDP58]], under the ownership of a {{tc|Rich Boy}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Togebo}}
[[Dahlia]] is shown to own a Togekiss in ''[[PS422|Interrupting Ivysaur]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} was forced to use it when both Trainers switched their Pokémon due to the [[Battle Arcade]]'s Pokémon Swap.

{{adv|Gold}}'s Togetic, Togebo, evolved into a Togekiss immediately after evolving from Togepi in ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]''.

[[Opal]]'s Togekiss appeared in ''[[PASS16|Rising!! Opal of Ballonlea]]''.

===Pokémon Ranger: The Comic – Shadows of Almia===
In [[PRV2]], [[Kellyn]] catches a Togekiss to rescue [[Professor Hastings]] as he was about to fall off from a tower.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Togekiss and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Flying}} and {{egg|Fairy}} [[Egg Group]]s. They are also the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon in the Flying egg group.
* Togekiss is the only Pokémon that has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of 7:1 that have had a female [[Dawn's Togekiss|shown in the animated series]] but not a male.
* In [[Pokkén Tournament]], Togekiss is the only Support Pokémon with a charge time of "Normal".

===Origin===
Togekiss appears to be based on {{wp|fairies}} and {{wp|birds}}. Its white color and association with peace suggest inspiration from {{wp|Doves as symbols|doves}}, while its triangular belly markings are similar to a {{wp|snowy owl}}. Its reputation for sharing blessings is reminiscent of {{wp|angel}}s. Like its pre-Evolutions, its round body resembles an {{wp|bird egg|egg}}. Its rigid, triangular wings are also reminiscent of a {{wp|flying wing}}. Togekiss may also be based on the Japanese interpretation of the Hōō, also known as the [[wp:Fenghuang|Fenghuang]] or Chinese phoenix. This is due to it's heavy associations with peace and unwillingness to appear in any areas with strife or conflict, as well as its avian nature.

====Name origin====
Togekiss may be a combination of 刺 ''toge'' (spike) and ''kiss'', referencing its kind nature.

Hustle (Ability)

Spider-mario: /* Effect */ these full stops should be commas

{{AbilityInfobox/header
|name=Hustle
|jpname=はりきり
|jptranslit=Harikiri
|jptrans=Enthusiasm
|colorscheme=attack
|gen=III
}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|III|Trades accuracy for power.}}

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|Boosts the Pokémon's Attack stat but lowers its accuracy.}}
|}
'''Hustle''' (Japanese: '''はりきり''' ''Enthusiasm'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
Hustle increases the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat by 50%, but lowers the {{stat|accuracy}} of the user's [[physical move]]s by 20% (approximated as a multiplier of 3277/4096 from [[Generation V]] onwards). [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]] and [[special move]]s are unaffected by Hustle.

===Generation III===
In addition to lowering the accuracy of the user's physical moves, Hustle lowers the accuracy of [[status move]]s with types corresponding to physical moves.<ref>[https://youtu.be/IC1BoxdP1dQ I Found A New Glitch in Pokemon Emerald! | Disaster Area on YouTube]</ref>

The type of damage dealt by {{m|Hidden Power}} determines whether its accuracy is affected by Hustle.

====Generation IV====
Status moves are no longer affected by Hustle, regardless of their type.

Hustle increases self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage.

====Generation V onwards====
Hustle no longer affects confusion damage.

===Outside of battle===
{{incomplete|section|Does Hustle have any effect on the levels of fished-up wild Pokémon in Gens. VI and VII?}}
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Hustle is in the first slot in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there's a 50% chance that a Pokémon will be forced to the upper bound of their encounter level range. It shares this effect with {{a|Pressure}} and {{a|Vital Spirit}}.

When fishing with a Pokémon with Pressure, Vital Spirit, or Hustle as its Ability leading the party in Pokémon Emerald, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, or any [[Generation IV]] game, it will trigger with its standard 50% activation rate. In the [[Generation V]] games, Pressure, Vital Spirit, and Hustle will not have any effect on the levels of wild Pokémon found through fishing.
====Generation VIII====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Hustle appears to have no effect on the level range of wild Pokémon.
====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Hustle appears to have no effect on the level range of wild Pokémon.

Talk:Sneasel (Pokémon)

2024-11-12T11:28:17Z

Spider-mario: /* Evolution in Legends: Arceus */ new section

== Kneazel ==

Doesn't anyone know about that book called "Magical Creatures and Where to Find Them"? The reason I ask is that one of the creatures mentioned is named ''Kneazel''. I think Kneazel is supposed to be cat-like, but do you think that the name comes from ''{{p|Sneasel}}'' or was just a coincidence?-Pokencyclopedia. {{unsigned|Pokencyclopedia}}

A Google search tells me that a Kneazel is something in Harry Potter... But I am not familiar with those books. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 12:31, 27 August 2005 (CDT)

I read this and also did some research and I found this picture with some info:

[[:a:File:Kneazle.jpg|thumb|left|
This very intelligent cat-like creature can detect the equivocal or not very advisable people. However when a Kneazle sticks to a wizard or a witch, it becomes an excellent pet. Kneazle has a provided fur, large ears, and the tail of a lion.]]
So make out what you want from it... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:I think you're kinda reaching if you think that Sneasel and Kneazel are related. Coincidences happen sometimes; hell, look at Jo's Harry Potter and Neil Gaiman's Timothy Hunter. Damn near identical looking teenage boy wizards, published almost on top of each other. So close together that it's impossible for either to have drawn the idea from the other. It's just a simple, happy coincidence. [[User:LostDrewid|LostDrewid]] 06:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
{{-}}

==Learnset==
Anyone who is more comfortable with Bulbapedia's Manual of Style interested in updating Sneasel's learnset to the current standard? I'd do it, but I'm bad with wiki tables. If no one else does it, I'll give it a shot. [[User:LostDrewid|LostDrewid]] 06:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sneasel cannot learn Icy Wind? ==
Oddly enought, Serebbi stated that {{p|Sneasel}} cannot learn {{m|Icy Wind}} via Platinum move tutor. Is that true? I need to know this before entering Platinum tutors for {{p|Sneasel}}/{{p|Weavile}}. --[[User:Gorebyss|Gorebyss]] 16:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
:not sure, but it learns Icy Wind via level-up anyway. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 19:21, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Crystal Backsprite ==

[[File:Spr b 2c 215.png]][[File:Spr b 2g 215.png]]

As you can see, Sneasel's normal Crystal backsprite differs from the Gold and Silver one. The most striking difference is the color but it's been redone slightly apart from that. Think there'd be any way to get that onto Sneasel's sprite table? [[User:Darkeiya|Darkeiya]] 10:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Not that '''''I''''' know of... I just think its a little... impossible...--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 03:43, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:We're going to eventually have to handle it, seeing as FRLG sprites for some are different, such as Wartortle and Venusaur. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 03:36, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
::I like how It's been over a year and we still haven't added a column. Are we ever going to add that 2nd backsprite column or have we abandoned the thought? [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 04:26, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

==Edit Request==
In the anime Pokedex section. 'Sneasel can retract or extend its claws' - 'Sneasel can extend of retract its claws'. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 14:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

== Grip Claw ==
Just caught a Sneasel that was holding a Grip Claw. I have no idea what the rate is, but it happened. Someone explore further? [[User:Anaphysik|Anaphysik]] 02:53, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
:So, several other sites list it as 50%... added. [[User:Anaphysik|Anaphysik]] 02:55, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Rare in Platinum? ==

Judging by the encounter rates, Sneasel only seems rare in Platinum in Lake Acuity and Snowpoint Temple, which is only two of the places it is available in. In the other three, it is equal or greater to its rate in Diamond and Pearl, with the exception of Route 217 at night. I think labeling it as common seems more appropriate.--[[User:Grammernatzi|Grammernatzi]] 09:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

[[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 22:35, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

== Icicle Crash egg move ==

I don't know if Icicle Crash was a possible egg move in XY, but I'm breeding a Sneasel in ORAS with a Beartic and Icicle Crash is DEFINITELY not an egg move in ORAS. Someone should check to see if it is an egg move in XY and fix the list accordingly. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 22:35, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
:It's definitely an Egg move in XY, I've bred Sneasel with Icicle Crash before. But it should also be an Egg move in ORAS, there's no reason for it not to be. Are you positive that the Beartic you're breeding Sneasel with actually knows Icicle Crash? [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 04:04, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
::Yes, I took it out of the daycare, and it still knew icicle crash. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 13:09, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
::I just tried breeding the Icicle Crash on in XY, and it still didn't work [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 17:09, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
:::[[Pokémon breeding#Passing moves down|Check this]], maybe it will help explain why the move isn't getting passed down. I guarantee you that it's an Egg move in XY, so I'm not sure what the problem might be. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 17:17, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
::I figured it out. The mother already knew four egg moves, so those took precedence over the Icicle Crash egg move from Beartic. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 21:42, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
:::Good deal. I only saw this now, and I know I traded a Sneasel with Icicle Crash bred on it that later bred a Shiny offspring, so I could confirm it's definitely in XY. I think OR/AS only added a few Egg Moves, not take any away. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:10, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

== Japanese sprite differences? ==

Not sure if that should remain there; I can't visually see any differences between Gold and Silver localized vs. Japanese. --[[User:SneaselSawashiro|SneaselSawashiro]] ([[User talk:SneaselSawashiro|talk]]) 05:35, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
:Actually, the iris is different.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 06:43, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

== Beta Sneasel color palette ==

I don't know where things stand on the most recent beta leak, but it stuck out to me that the beta Sneasel's sprite [https://gssource.neocities.org/image/silver/76.png] has the exact same color palette as the weird Gold/Silver sprites. If this stuff is confirmed in some way and cleared to be added to articles, that should be added to the Trivia section or something. -- [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|talk]] 08:37, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

== Cat Kamaitachi ==

Just learned that there's a Yokai Watch character—Kaibyou Kamaitachi—that's also part cat and part kamaitachi. Does anyone know if there are any legends of cats transforming into kamaitachi, or is this just a coincidence? [[User:Icycatelf|Icycatelf]] ([[User talk:Icycatelf|talk]]) 16:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

== Quadruple weakness ==

Phrasing it as 'quadruple' simply doesn't make sense. 1x is normal damage, 2x is weakness once, 4x weakness twice, i.e. dual. You are adding weakness (multiplying by 2) ''twice''. The value of the weakness multipler is not relevant, what is linguistically being referred to is the number of times a multipler is added (the exponent), not the total damage multiplier. If it was quadruple, that would mean either that you consider 1x to be weakness, 2x would be dual weakness, 1/2x would be half weakness or dual resistance, etc. which doesn't sound right, or it would mean that you are adding weakness four times, resulting in 16x damage, which obviously isn't the case. [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 12:54, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
:To try and phrase this more coherently:
:What applying weakness means is to add the weakness multiplier (in this case x2), and the same applies to resistance (x½). This multiplier could be anything however; the sentence structure would remain the same. What having ''a'' weakness, ''double'' weakness, or ''quadruple'' weakness implies, linguistically, is how many times this multiplier is added. What this phrasing does not entail is the total effectiveness multiplier that is yielded after adding resistances and weaknesses.
:In mathematical terms, this refers to the exponent of the weakness, weakness², where weakness just so happens to also be 2 - these are two functionally seperate values and should not be confused for one another. The exponent denotes how many times the multiplier is added.
:If we have a mono-type Fire Pokémon, such as Flareon, though the total effectiveness of water would be x2, I think we can all agree that we would phrase it as Flareon having a (singular) weakness, not double weakness.
:Basically, there are two main ways to phrase this effectiveness:
::Double resistance (¼x), resistance (½x), normal (1x), weakness (2x), and double weakness (4x)
::or
::¼x effectiveness, ½x effectiveness, 1x effectivness, 2x effectiveness, and 4x effectiveness
:The first refers to the number of times the weakness/resistance multiplier is added, the latter refers to the total effectiveness multiplier. Quadruple weakness would be a multipler of 2⁴ = 16. I hope this explaination makes sense. [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 16:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
::Referring to the total effectiveness also doesn't hold true due to Legends: Arceus, there double weakness is instead 2.5 and double resistance is 0.4. [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 16:35, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

== Evolution in Legends: Arceus ==

Currently, the article states: “In Hisui, Sneasel […] evolves into Sneasler when leveled up while holding a Razor Claw during the day.”

Likewise, the article on the [[Razor Claw]] says: “Causes Johtonian Sneasel to evolve into Weavile when leveled up at night, and Hisuian Sneasel to evolve into Sneasler when leveled up during the day, both while holding it.”

But held items are not a mechanic in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] (“Abilities, held items, breeding, Eggs, and Pokérus have been removed”, and [[Held item]] “The mechanic is absent in […] Pokémon Legends: Arceus”), so something seems off?

Spider-mario: /* Generations I and II */ fix link to “stage multiplier”

{{samename|Pokémon information screen formerly known as "stats"|Summary}}
----

A '''stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|能力|のうりょく}}}}''' ''ability'') is any of certain numerical values pertaining to each {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The Pokémon's stats are used in {{pkmn|battle}}s.

This is short for '''statistic'''; in some cases, it has also been named '''ability''', '''rating''', '''effect''', or '''parameter'''.

==Terminology==
===Stat===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[summary]], called "stats" in Generations I and II.''

The word "stat" (or "stats") is not used in [[Generation I]] with this meaning. The word "statistic" (or "statistics") is not used in any [[core series]] game with this meaning.

The word "stat" is used in several places from [[Generation II]] onwards. Some examples:

* The move descriptions of {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, and {{m|Mist}} use "stat" or "stats" from [[Generation II]] onwards, except in some [[Generation III]] games.
* In the text displayed when {{m|Haze}} is used in Generation II: "All stat changes were eliminated!"
* In the text displayed when {{m|Psych Up}} is used in Generation II: "<user> copied the stat changes of <target>!"
* The [[Trainer Tips]] from {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Generation II]]: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> stats vary--even within the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]]. Their stats may be similar at first. However, differences will become pronounced as the <sc>Pokémon</sc> grow."
* According to [[Pryce]] in Generation II, the Glacier Badge raises the "<sc>Special</sc> stats of <sc>Pokémon</sc>".
* Some dialogue in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} uses "stat", replacing "ability" from the Generation I dialogue. For instance, an NPC in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Poké Mart]] and two NPCs at the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] talk about items that raise the Pokémon's stats (as opposed to "abilities" in Generation I).

===Rating===
:''Not to be confused with the [[Pokédex]] rating.''

Sometimes, the word "rating" was used up to [[Generation II]].

* In {{m|Growth}}'s description from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* In {{m|Psychic}}'s description from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.

===Effect===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, the move {{m|Psych Up}} simply copies the target's stat changes. However, the move description states that it copies the foe's "effect(s)".

===Ability===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[Ability]], which provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld.''

Sometimes, the word "ability" was used up to [[Generation III]].

* In the [[Generation I]] games:
** Mr. Psychic says when delivering [[TM29]] ({{m|Psychic}}): "It may lower the target's <sc>Special</sc> abilities."
** An NPC in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Poké Mart]] mentions "items that raise the abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> during a battle", referring to items such as [[X Attack]] and [[X Defense]].
** Two NPCs at the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] mention "<sc>Pokémon</sc> ability enhancers", referring to items such as [[Carbos]] and [[Calcium]].
** [[Blaine]], as well as the man who explains badges in [[Cerulean City]], mention that the Volcano Badge increases a Pokémon's "<sc>Special</sc> abilities".
* In the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} manual, it is said "Compare the Abilities of Captured Pokémon!", referring to their stats.
* In [[Generation II]], the string for multiple stats being at +6 already uses the word <sc>Ability</sc>.
* The [[Generation III]] descriptions of {{a|Clear Body}}, {{m|Mist}}, and {{m|Memento}} mention "ability" or "abilities", referring to stats.
* In {{game|Emerald}}, this term is used by the [[Pokémon Breeder]] at the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. For instance: "If you ever become as seasoned as me, you'll see the abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> at a glance."

===Parameter===
* The list of stats is named "Parameters" (Japanese: パラメータ) at the Pokémon's [[summary]] in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====HP====
{{main|HP}}

The '''[[HP]]''' stat (Japanese: '''HP''', symbol '''H'''), short for '''Hit Points''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), determines how much [[damage]] a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. In [[Pokémon GO]], it is also called '''Stamina'''.

====Attack====
The '''Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|攻撃能力|こうげきのうりょく}}}}''' ''attack ability'', symbol '''A'''), or informally '''Physical Attack''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Defense====
The '''Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|防御能力|ぼうぎょのうりょく}}}}''' ''defense ability'', symbol '''B'''), or informally '''Physical Defense''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Special====
The '''Special stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a stat that exists only in [[Generation I]].

The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. As a result, a Pokémon could not be both strong with and weak against a Special attack, or vice versa, in the same way a Pokémon might have high Attack but low Defense. With [[Generation II]], the Special stat was split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[Base stats|base stat values]] for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual value]]s and [[effort value]]s remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. Furthermore, [[Calcium]] increased both stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well, and the Calcium now worked on only Special Attack while the Zinc was introduced for the Special Defense.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|特攻能力|とくこうのうりょく}}}}''' ''special attack ability'', symbol '''C'''), or '''Sp. Atk''' and '''Spcl. Atk'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|特防能力|とくぼうのうりょく}}}}''' ''special defense ability'', symbol '''D'''), or '''Sp. Def''' and '''Spcl. Def'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Speed====
The '''Speed stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|素早さ能力|すばやさのうりょく}}}}''' ''speed ability'', symbol '''S''') determines the order of Pokémon that can act in battle. If Pokémon are moving with the same [[priority]], Pokémon with higher Speed at the start of any turn will generally make a [[move]] before ones with lower Speed; in the case that two Pokémon have the same Speed, one of them will randomly go first. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], in-battle changes to a Pokémon's Speed stat did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in [[Generation VII]], if [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Ultra Burst]] caused changes to the base Speed stat or to an [[Ability]] that affected Speed or priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn. In Generation VIII, all speed changes take effect immediately; after every individual move, the next Pokémon to move is the fastest Pokémon that hasn't yet made its move that turn.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion rate''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|回避率|かいひりつ}}}}''' ''evasion rate''), or '''evasiveness''', of a Pokémon determines its probability of avoiding other Pokémon's moves. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If a Pokémon's evasiveness is reduced below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}} or {{m|Defog}}, other Pokémon will have a better chance of their moves hitting. If evasiveness is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, other Pokémon will have a harder time connecting their moves.

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy rate''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|命中率|めいちゅうりつ}}}}''' ''accuracy rate'') or '''accuracy''' of a Pokémon determines its probability of hitting another Pokémon. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves and items, in {{Pokémon XD}}, the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by one stage by using the call action, as long as the Pokémon is not [[asleep]] or in [[Reverse Mode]] (in which case removing the condition takes precedence over raising accuracy).

==Determination of stats==
===Base stat values===
A Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat values]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stat values in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat value (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring Nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{game|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most Natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the Nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the Nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value. The Nature boost or reduction is internally calculated by multiplying the stat after 5 is added to it by 110 if the Nature boosts the stat, 100 if the Nature doesn't affect the stat, or 90 if the Nature lowers the stat, then dividing the result by 100 and truncating the decimal.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Awakening values===
{{main|Awakening values}}
Awakening values are a mechanic introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], replacing {{EV}}s as the means of further raising a Pokémon's stats. A Pokémon's stat will have 1 extra point for every AV gained regardless of level, and each stat is capped at 200 AVs.

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{HP} & = \Biggl\lfloor {\Biggl( (35 + 7) \times 2 + \biggl\lfloor \tfrac{\bigl\lceil \sqrt{22850} \bigr\rceil}{4} \biggr\rfloor \Biggr) \times 81 \over 100} \Biggr\rfloor + 81 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 42 \times 2 + 38) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \left\lfloor {122 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \lfloor {98.82} \rfloor + 91 \\
& = 98 + 91 \\
& = 189
\end{align}
</math>

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Sp. Atk} & = \Biggl\lfloor {\Biggl( (50 + 9) \times 2 + \biggl\lfloor \tfrac{\bigl\lceil \sqrt{19625} \bigr\rceil}{4} \biggr\rfloor \Biggr) \times 81 \over 100} \Biggr\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 59 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {153 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 123.93 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 123 + 5 \\
& = 128
\end{align}
</math>

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Sp. Def} & = \Biggl\lfloor {\Biggl( (40 + 9) \times 2 + \biggl\lfloor \tfrac{\bigl\lceil \sqrt{19625} \bigr\rceil}{4} \biggr\rfloor \Biggr) \times 81 \over 100} \Biggr\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 49 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {133 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 107.73 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 107 + 5 \\
& = 112
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Speed} & = \Biggl\lfloor {\Biggl( (90 + 5) \times 2 + \biggl\lfloor \tfrac{\bigl\lceil \sqrt{24795} \bigr\rceil}{4} \biggr\rfloor \Biggr) \times 81 \over 100} \Biggr\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 95 \times 2 + 39) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {229 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 185.49 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 185 + 5 \\
& = 190
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Pikachu's stats are:

====Generation III onward====
<math>\mathrm{HP} = \left\lfloor {(2 \times \mathrm{Base} + \mathrm{IV} + \lfloor \tfrac{\mathrm{EV}}{4} \rfloor) \times \mathrm{Level} \over 100} \right\rfloor + \mathrm{Level} + 10</math>

<math>\mathrm{OtherStat} = \Biggl\lfloor \biggl( \Bigl\lfloor {(2 \times \mathrm{Base} + \mathrm{IV} + \lfloor \tfrac{\mathrm{EV}}{4} \rfloor) \times \mathrm{Level} \over 100} \Bigr\rfloor + 5 \biggr) \times \mathrm{Nature} \Biggr\rfloor</math>

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP (which is always 1), the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4 (or, for the HP stat, 11).

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IVs and EVs and an '''Adamant''' [[nature]]:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

| style="background:#fff" |48
| style="background:#fff" |84
| style="background:#fff" |23
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" |'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{HP} & = \left\lfloor {(2 \times 108 + 24 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{74}{4} \right\rfloor) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 78 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {(216 + 24 + 18) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \left\lfloor {258 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \lfloor 201.24 \rfloor + 88 \\
& = 201 + 88 \\
& = 289
\end{align}
</math>

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:
<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Attack} & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 130 + 12 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{190}{4} \right\rfloor\right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(260 + 12 + 47) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {319 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor {319 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor &= 248 \\
& = \lfloor 278.3 \rfloor & \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 &= 278.3 \\
& = 278
\end{align}
</math>

And its Special Attack stat will be:

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Sp. Atk} & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left( 2 \times 80 + 16 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{48}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(160 + 16 + 12) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {188 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor (146 + 5) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor {188 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor &= 146 \\
& = \lfloor 135.9 \rfloor & (146 + 5) \times 0.9 &= 135.9 \\
& = 135
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{Speed} & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 102 + 5 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{23}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor {(204 + 5 + 5) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5\\
& = \left\lfloor {214 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 166.92 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 166+5 \\
& = 171
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

====[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]====
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, effort values have been replaced with [[awakening values]], which are flat stat boosts added to the total after all other calculations have been made. Additionally, all non-HP stats can receive a slight boost that scales with [[friendship]]. Stats are now updated simultaneously with any changes to the variables, rather than after a Pokémon has leveled up.

The AV bonus can range anywhere between 0 and 200 for all stats, and a Pokémon can have all six stats maxed out to 200 AVs each. The friendship multiplier can range between 1 and 1.1, scaling directly with the Pokémon's level of friendship <math display="inline">\Bigg(1 + {\left\lfloor \frac{10 \times \mathrm{friendship}}{255} \right\rfloor \over 100} \Bigg)</math>.

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{HP} &= \left\lfloor {(2 \times \mathrm{Base} + \mathrm{IV}) \times \mathrm{Level} \over 100} \right\rfloor + \mathrm{Level} + 10 + \mathrm{AV} \\
\mathrm{OtherStat} &= \left\lfloor \left( {(2 \times \mathrm{Base} + \mathrm{IV}) \times \mathrm{Level} \over 100} + 5 \right) \times \mathrm{Nature} \times \mathrm{Friendship} \right\rfloor + \mathrm{AV}
\end{align}
</math>

====[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]====
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a Pokémon's stats are calculated using [[effort level]]s, replacing the mechanics around {{EV}}s and {{IV}}s. IVs are still present, but that is only used to determine a Pokémon's starting effort level in each stat, up to three effort levels; beyond this, IVs have no effect on stats.

<math>
\begin{align}
\mathrm{HP} &= \left\lfloor \left({\mathrm{Level} \over 100} + 1 \right) \times \mathrm{Base} + \mathrm{Level} \right\rfloor + \mathrm{ELB}\\
\mathrm{OtherStat} &= \left\lfloor \Bigl\lfloor \frac{\left(\frac{\mathrm{Level}}{50}+1\right) \times \mathrm{Base}}{1.5} \Bigr\rfloor \times \mathrm{Nature} \right\rfloor + \mathrm{ELB}
\\\\
\mathrm{ELB} &= \operatorname{round} \left(\frac{ \sqrt{\mathrm{Base}} \times \mathrm{Multiplier} + \mathrm{Level}}{2.5}\right)
\end{align}
</math>

where:
* <math>\mathrm{Base}</math> is the Pokémon species' base value for that stat
* <math>\mathrm{Level}</math> is the Pokémon's level
* <math>\mathrm{Nature}</math> is 0.9 if the Pokémon has a hindering Nature, 1.1 if it has a helpful Nature, and 1 otherwise.
* <math>\mathrm{ELB}</math> is the effort level bonus, directly added to the Pokémon's stat. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
** <math>\mathrm{Multiplier}</math> is the effort level multiplier, which is determined from the effort level as follows:
::{| style="{{roundy|10px}}; border: 3px solid #{{legends arceus color dark}}; background: #{{legends arceus color}}; text-align: center"

===In battle===
In battle, additional [[#Stat modifiers|modifiers]] can further alter the effective value of a stat. This is not reflected in visible stats, but instead is only accounted for when [[damage]] is done.

====Accuracy and evasion====
Accuracy and evasion are not visible anywhere as explicit stats, but they influence the probability of a move hitting. The nuances of this calculation differ between games. [[:Category:Moves that cannot miss|Some moves]] ignore accuracy checks.

=====Generations I and II=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T = \mathrm{Accuracy_{move}} \times \mathrm{Accuracy_{user}} \times \mathrm{Evasion_{target}} - \mathrm{BrightPowder}</math>, where:
* <math>T</math> is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit, always at least 1 and at most 255,
* <math>\mathrm{Accuracy_{move}}</math> is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 0 to 255,
* <math>\mathrm{Accuracy_{user}}</math> is the accuracy [[Stat modifier#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user,
* <math>\mathrm{Evasion_{target}}</math> is the evasion stage multiplier of the target, and
* <math>\mathrm{BrightPowder}</math> is 20 if the user is [[held item|holding]] [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] (in Generation II) or 0 otherwise.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 0 to 255 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits.

In Generation I, if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This results in a bug where no move can be guaranteed to hit (excluding {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Swift}}) since even if ''T'' is 255, if ''r'' is also 255, the move will miss.

In Generation II, if ''T'' is 255 or if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This eliminates the bug from Generation I.

=====Generations III onward=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T= \mathrm{Accuracy_{move}} \times \mathrm{StageMultiplier} \times \mathrm{Other}</math>, where:
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 1 to 100,
* ''StageMultiplier'' is the equivalent accuracy [[#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user after the target's evasion stage is subtracted from the user's accuracy stage, both possibly modified by Ability or move effects such as {{a|Simple}} or {{m|Foresight}} (to no less than -6 and no more than 6 after the subtraction), and
* ''Other'' encompasses all multipliers from other accuracy or evasion modifiers from Ability effects, [[fog]], move effects, and item effects (as can be seen in the table in the following section), serially applied.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits. If ''r'' is less than or equal to ''T'', the move hits.

===Combat Power===
'''Combat Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|総合的|そうごうてき}}な{{tt|強|つよ}}さ''' ''Total Power''), or '''CP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a value first introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] and carried over to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], used to roughly summarize a Pokémon's overall potential in battle. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it's based off the total of all a Pokémon's stats and {{AV}}s. Note that CP is not an actual statistic but rather a visual indicator of a Pokémon's overall strength, so it does not have any direct effect in battles.

<math>\mathrm{CP} = \min \left(\left\lfloor \left( \sum \mathrm{Stats} - \sum \mathrm{AVs} \right)\ \times { \mathrm{Level} \times 6 \over 100} + \sum \mathrm{AVs} \times \left( \frac{\mathrm{Level} \times 4}{100} + 2 \right) \right\rfloor , 10000 \right)</math>

The CP of any Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is always capped at 10,000; even if a Pokémon's stat continues to grow after that, the CP will still show as 10,000.

The lowest possible CP is 2. This is possible if a level 1 {{p|Caterpie}} transferred from Pokémon GO has minimum [[friendship]], 0 IVs and 0 AVs in every stat.

==Stat modifiers==
{{main|Stat modifier}}
When a stat is used in a calculation in battle, a number of modifiers may be applied during the calculation. During a battle, a Pokémon's effective stats may be raised or lowered by certain [[move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held items]]. Some attacks may only have a chance of raising or lowering stats, while certain Abilities and held items may require a triggering event to activate any stat modifications.

|}{{-}}

==In other games==
===Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Stat (Mystery Dungeon)}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], Pokémon have HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and [[#Speed 2|Speed]]{{sup/md|SMD}}{{sup/md|DX}} stats, just like in the core games. However, these games also have a few stats not seen in the core games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|Stat (Conquest)}}

In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Pokémon have HP, Range, Attack, Defense, and Speed stats, as well as a non-numeric Energy stat, and a derived stat called Strength.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Stat (GO)}} {{anchor|CP}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have '''HP''', '''Attack''', and '''Defense''' stats, as well as a derived stat, '''CP'''. Pokémon GO makes no distinction between physical or special damage like the core games do; instead, all [[List of moves (GO)|attacks]] simply use Attack and Defense to calculate damage. Of the four stats in Pokémon GO, however, only HP and CP are directly visible.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
===={{anchor|JP|Jump Power}}====
{{incomplete|section}}
'''Jump Power''' (Japanese: '''はねる{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''Jump Power''), or '''JP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a stat that indicates a {{p|Magikarp}}'s ability to jump in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. As the Jump Power becomes larger and larger, it will be measured with the help of {{wp|SI prefix}}es.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Dragonite Dragon Dance.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Dragonite]] raising its attack power and speed with {{m|Dragon Dance}}]]
Stats in the anime appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of [[damage]] inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense.

===[[Original series]]===
In the [[dub]] of ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', {{an|Misty}} mentioned that [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} is losing HP as [[Ash's Kingler]] kept hitting it with {{m|Crabhammer}}. In the original Japanese version, Misty talked about Cloyster taking damage instead.

In ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle!]]'', HP was shown on [[Shingo]]'s laptop where Blade's {{m|Quick Attack}} lowered {{AP|Heracross}}'s HP by half.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Whiscash}} used {{m|Tickle}} on [[Ash's Swellow]] which lowered Swellow's defensive strength.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, which defended itself against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Solar Beam}}, a special move.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''===
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} used {{m|Iron Defense}} to defend itself against [[Ash's Sewaddle]]'s {{m|Bug Bite}}.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Escavalier}} used Iron Defense several times to maximize its Defense.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''===
Pokémon will occasionally glow red after their attack strength has changed, as exhibited by [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', or blue after their defensive strength has been changed, as shown by [[Alain]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} in ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', and [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]''.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
This series generally retains the added visual aids from ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', as seen as when [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] used {{m|Shell Smash}} in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'' and when [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] used {{m|Swords Dance}} in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]''. However, in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu's Mudsdale]] glowed red while increasing its defense with {{a|Stamina}}.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', [[Rinto]]'s {{p|Gallade}} activated {{a|Justified}}, boosting his Attack.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Rillaboom}} had its Speed boosted by its use of {{m|Max Airstream}}.

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14 and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{wp|Mustelidae|mustelid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. When exposed to the mysterious energy of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], Quilava's evolution is altered, gaining it the {{t|Ghost}} type as it becomes Hisuian {{p|Typhlosion}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Quilava.png|thumb|250px|Quilava in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava after it fought one of {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]]. He later used it during his {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Nando]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against Nando's {{p|Armaldo}}; the battle resulted in a tie.

====[[Jimmy's Quilava]]====
{{jo|Jimmy}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and further into Typhlosion sometime before the events of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar]]'', Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with a Quilava for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against [[Satchel]]'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[devolution|devolving]] into Cyndaquil due to {{p|Dialga}}'s influence.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Quilava competed in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

A Quilava appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''.

In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', a Quilava was hypnotized and kidnapped by Team Rocket.

In ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Quilava attended the [[Wela Fire Festival‎]].

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Trainer's Quilava went to the [[Pokémon Catch Race]].

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* Quilava, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because [[Nintendo]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1431127202876194816 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 27, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1501389663814098956 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on March 9, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to most animals in the {{wp|weasel}} family, particularly {{wp|stoat}}s due to its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly with elements of a {{wp|badger}}. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and [[Eruption (move)|Eruption]].

====Name origin====
Quilava may be a combination of ''quill'' (a needle-like hair) and ''lava'' (extrusive molten rock). It may also be a reference to the French phrase ''{{tt|qui va là?|who goes there?}}''

Magmarashi may be a combination of ''magma'' and 山荒 ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|200px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a spotted, blue hide with a cream underside. Its neck is long, and it has large black eyes. There is a short horn in the middle of its forehead and curled ears placed farther back on its head. It has four flippers with the foremost pair being larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near-extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.

{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''.

{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]].

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RB.png|thumb|130px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
[[File:Photo Spot Azure Bay.png|thumb|200px|Riding on Lapras in [[Azure Bay]]]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness", a reference to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* Lapras has the highest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Lapras has a unique 3D model when {{m|surf}}ing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the [[Generation II]] surfing sprites ( [[File:GSC Surf M.png]] [[File:C Surf F.png]] ), which greatly resemble Lapras, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
** A Shiny Lapras uses the same 3D model as a regular one while surfing.
** In [[Photography#Pokémon X and Y|photos]] taken at [[Azure Bay]], the player is seen riding a Lapras even if no Lapras is in the party.
*Lapras can learn the most [[one-hit knockout move]]s of any Pokémon (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.

===Origin===
Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|placodont}}s. Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also be derived from {{wp|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|200px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a spotted, blue hide with a cream underside. Its neck is long, and it has large black eyes. There is a short horn in the middle of its forehead and curled ears placed farther back on its head. It has four flippers with the foremost pair being larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near-extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.

===In Pokémon Origins===

{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''.

{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]].

[[File:131Lapras RB.png|thumb|130px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
[[File:Photo Spot Azure Bay.png|thumb|200px|Riding on Lapras in [[Azure Bay]]]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness", a reference to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* Lapras has the highest base {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Lapras has a unique 3D model when {{m|surf}}ing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the [[Generation II]] surfing sprites ( [[File:GSC Surf M.png]] [[File:C Surf F.png]] ), which greatly resemble Lapras, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
** A Shiny Lapras uses the same 3D model as a regular one while surfing.
** In [[Photography#Pokémon X and Y|photos]] taken at [[Azure Bay]], the player is seen riding a Lapras even if no Lapras is in the party.
*Lapras can learn the most [[one-hit knockout move]]s of any Pokémon (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.

===Origin===
Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|placodont}}s. Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also be derived from {{wp|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

Shiny Pokémon

2018-11-25T13:59:10Z

Spider-mario: /* In the core series games */ the Gen 1 games were also playable in color on the Super Game Boy (and the GBC in the case of the international release of Pokémon Yellow).

{{incomplete|needs=Info and images for Generation VII}}
[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|光|ひか}}るポケモン''' ''Shiny Pokémon''), previously officially known as '''alternate coloration''' or '''rare coloration''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|色違い|いろちがい}}''' ''differently colored''), and called '''Color Pokémon''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the {{pkmn|games}}. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]]. The term Shiny Pokémon was first used in-game in {{game|Black and White|s}} in [[Nimbasa City]].

Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. However, many Pokémon have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

[[List of Pokémon with form differences|Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from its [[Poké Ball]], [[#Appearance|it is surrounded]] by a flash of stars or light, which is accompanied by a pinging sound effect.

Individual Pokémon cannot change their Shininess. A Shiny Pokémon will always be Shiny, and a regular Pokémon will never become Shiny. Upon evolution, a Pokémon retains its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, while a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

An icon (seen in the table above) appears on the status screen of Shiny Pokémon in most games. In Generation II, this icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, by the gender symbol, while in most other games, it appears in or near one of the corners of the Pokémon's image; however, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} do not have any icon. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white and the background of the Pokémon's image has a lighter shade; likewise, in Generation IV and V, the color of some elements of the status screen differ for Shiny Pokémon.

The table below summarizes the rates at which Shiny Pokémon can be found by the methods that will be detailed below. The [[Shiny Charm]] can directly add to the odds for most methods, with [[hidden Pokémon]] being affected uniquely.

====In Generation II====
In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon's {{IV}}s. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a [[Generation I]] game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Since the HP IV is calculated from the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its IVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192 (assuming every IV combination has the same probability, which is usually the case).

The probability differs for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon, as their IVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, a parent passes its Special stat (plus or minus 8) and its Defense stat to its children that are the opposite gender from it. (If Ditto is one of the parents, it is always the one that passes these stats.) This means that if a Shiny parent passes its IVs to a child, the child's inherited Defense IV will always be 10, its inherited Special IV will have a 1/2 chance of being 10, its randomly generated Attack IV will have a 1/2 chance of being an appropriate value, and its randomly generated Speed IV will have 1/16 chance of being 10. This results in a 1/64 chance that such a child will be Shiny. These breeding mechanics also mean that if a child inherits its IVs from a Pokémon that does not have a Defense IV of 10 and a Special IV of 2 or 10, it cannot be Shiny.

====In Generations III and later====
[[Generation III]] saw an overhaul of many aspects of the game, which included the calculation to determine a Pokémon being Shiny. Shininess in these games is determined by a calculation involving the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. The exact calculation is:
:<code>(TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID) '''xor''' (PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0)</code>
where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively. More details on this calculation can be found [[personality value#Shininess|here]].

The above formula can result in a number ranging from 0 to 65535. In Generations III to V, if this result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny; starting in [[Generation VI]], this threshold was increased to 16. For Generations III to V, this gives an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II. For Generations VI and later, the probability is doubled.

====Transferring from Generation I Virtual Console games====
Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games via [[Poké Transporter]] may be Shiny after being transported. Since Version 1.3 of Poké Transporter, this is determined by following the same criteria as for Generation II games, as described above. Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense IVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.

The same {{DL||quirks}} that apply to transferring Pokémon from Generation I to Generation II games also apply.

The {{p|Mew}} that were distributed to the Generation I Virtual Console games have IVs of 15 in every stat, meaning they can never be Shiny.

===Generation II===
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Generation II, any Pokémon can be Shiny, but the game includes a [[red Gyarados]] that the player must encounter at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Odd Egg]] also has a high chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon: 50% in Japanese games, and 14% in all other languages. {{fact}}

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of gray. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by the stars on its status screen or the animation shown when it comes into battle.

====Quirks====
Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Additionally, in Generation I, if a wild Pokémon {{m|transform}}s again while already transformed, when caught it will be a {{p|Ditto}} with the same IVs as the first Pokémon it transformed into, allowing Ditto's IVs to be [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ditto DV manipulation|manipulated]] so that it is Shiny in Generation II by having it initially transform into a Pokémon with Shiny IVs.

===Generation III===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In [[Generation III]], some Shiny Pokémon appear on NPCs' teams. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, three Trainers in the [[Trainer Tower]] have Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. Several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers also have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

====Quirks====
A bug with the way Shininess is handled for Eggs can cause the Shiny status of a Pokémon hatched from an Egg to differ from the Egg hatching animation. This means that a hatched Pokémon may appear to be Shiny during the hatching animation, but actually not be, and vice versa. This happens because an Egg is initially given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which it is generated, and if it is hatched in a different game, the hatched Pokémon will be given the Trainer details of that game's player; the problem originates in the fact that this update does not occur until after the cutscene of the Egg hatching, so while while it may be Shiny for the player who hatched it, it may not be Shiny for the player who obtained the Egg (or vice versa). This also allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation III were only [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|distributed in Japan]]) to hatch a Shiny Pokémon when they would otherwise be non-Shiny Pokémon. This bug was not fixed until [[Generation VI]].

{{p|Unown}} also has an uneven distribution of Shiny probability depending on its form. This is because {{p|Unown}}'s form is also determined by its [[personality value]]. The exact probability for any given form depends on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, but it can have the values 1/5120, 1/6144, 1/9216, 1/10240, or 1/18432.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|100px|{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}, a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In the [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player once again must encounter a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Shiny Pokémon's coloration is reflected in the overworld if it is used as a [[walking Pokémon]].

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
Generation IV introduced the first ways to increase the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon.

The [[Masuda method]] refers to breeding two Pokémon originating from games of different languages to increase the chances of breeding a Shiny Pokémon. Under these circumstances, the game generates up to five total personality values to attempt to find one that will be Shiny. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, still count as being from the same game, so they do not activate the Masuda method unless traded to a different language. This mechanic is retained in all subsequent games.

The [[Poké Radar]] slowly improves the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain. The odds can reach a maximum of 41/8192 (approximately 1/200) for a single patch of grass for a chain of length 40 or higher; since up to four patches of grass can shake, the total odds become approximately 1/50. If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny, it constructs a semi-random personality value that will fulfill the requirement for the Pokémon to be Shiny.

====Quirks====
{{a|Cute Charm}} can make it possible for players with certain [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]] combinations to manipulate the chance of Pokémon with specific gender ratios being Shiny to be as high as 21.34% (while making the chance lower for all other players and Pokémon with different gender ratios, while using the Ability). This is due to how Cute Charm forces a wild Pokémon to be a specific gender when it activates, which is accomplished by modifying the Pokémon's [[personality value]] to be one of an extremely limited set of values.

The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation IV were only [[List of traded event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributed in Japan]]) and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation V===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation V]] introduced a mechanism often referred to as a "Shiny lock", preventing {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Victini}} from being Shiny. Any Pokémon obtained in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e., from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]) are also prevented from being Shiny. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini still have Shiny sprites in the games' data.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (but only two per version). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|New Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

Starting in Generation V, Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered was Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The Masuda method now generates up to six total personality values instead of five. This remains the case in later games.

Generation V also introduces the [[Shiny Charm]], a [[Key Item]] that causes the game to generate up to two extra personality values in an attempt to make a wild or bred Pokémon Shiny. This effect can stack with the Masuda method's effect. This item is also available in all future games.

====Quirks====
The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation VI===
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation VI]] slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined to double the default chances that a Pokémon will be Shiny. The basic formula remains the same, but the threshold for a Pokémon to be Shiny is now 16 instead of 8. This results in a base Shiny probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in Generation VI games: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[aura trio]], {{p|Mewtwo}}, the [[weather trio]], and {{p|Deoxys}}. The in-game gift [[Cosplay Pikachu]] also cannot be Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The [[Poké Radar]] returns for [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The exact mechanics of the Poké Radar in these games are not confirmed, but the Poké Radar can still force a Pokémon in a shaking patch to be Shiny.

In X and Y, in the [[Friend Safari]], Shiny Pokémon are more common. The game achieves this by generating up to four extra personality values when checking if a Pokémon will be Shiny. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool/wiki/Friend-Safari-RNG Friend Safari RNG · wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool Wiki · GitHub]</ref>

[[Fishing#Generation VI|Consecutive fishing]] can increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain of reeled-in Pokémon by fishing from the same spot. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the game tries two extra personality values to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of 41/4096 or approximately 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. Unlike most other methods that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon, this does not increase the number of personality values that the game tries, but instead executes a {{DL|DexNav|Shiny probability|custom algorithm}} to decide whether to force a Shiny personality value. In brief summary, the chances of forcing a Shiny Pokémon grow steadily from 0% at Search Level 0 to 0.06% at Search Level 100 (only surpassing the natural odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon at Search Level 41), then grows steadily to 0.08% at Search Level 200, after which the rate of growth becomes 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a random 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

===Generation VII===
[[File:Shiny Tapu Koko.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Tapu Koko}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}. This marks the only time a Trainer outside of a battle facility uses a Shiny Pokémon (excluding capture tutorials).

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
In the [[Generation VII]] games, as Pokémon in [[SOS Battle]]s continue calling in allies, the chance that they will be Shiny increases. At chain lengths of 11, 21, and 31, the game will check up to four extra personality values to find a Shiny Pokémon (meaning the maximum number of personality values checked will be 13 for a chain of 31 Pokémon or more). In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the chain length resets to 0 after 255, but in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it does not reset. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/947223541925126144 卡璞波波 on Twitter]</ref>

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Pokémon encountered through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] (excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s) have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. The Shininess of these Pokémon is determined when the player arrives at the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]. The probability that a Pokémon encountered this way will be Shiny depends on the rarity of the wormhole and the distance traveled.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/946705752265129985 卡璞波波 on Twitter]</ref>

Note that 3-ring "blooming" wormholes will always contain Legendary Pokémon (which do not have increased odds of being Shiny), unless all Legendary Pokémon that could be encountered in that particular wormhole have already been caught.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==In the side series games==
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting different colors (red eyes instead of the usual yellow)]]
===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually Shiny. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name.

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kids' Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

Since the Pokémon in [[Challenge Cup]] are randomly generated, it is possible for them to be Shiny.
===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny {{p|Voltorb}} in Colosseum]]
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]
{{main|List of glitches in Generation III#Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug|List of glitches in Generation III → Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, non-Shadow Pokémon obtained in the game (such as the player's starter {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} and [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}}) are ensured to be unable to be Shiny.

There is a 1/8192 chance of a [[Shadow Pokémon]] being Shiny, but when a Shiny Shadow Pokémon is captured it is highly improbable that the Pokémon will remain Shiny. Conversely, when an ordinary Shadow Pokémon is captured, there is still the 1/8192 chance of that Pokémon becoming Shiny when it is sent to the player's party or the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. Shininess is retained through [[purification]].

In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, non-Shadow Pokémon (such as the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[in-game trade]]s, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon) can be Shiny.

Like in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]]—except possibly {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Mew}}—cannot be Shiny.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseums can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon. This is due to the RNG, which generates a random PID.

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same chances as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Statistic|Belly}} stat is 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
{{incomplete|section|how exactly does Shiny Ho-Oh differ from regular one?}}
[[File:Eternal Ruins Shiny Ho-Oh PMDGTI.png|thumb|200px|A Shiny Ho-Oh found during the [[Eternal Ruins]] mission]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon. Unlike the main series games where Shininess affects nothing other than appearance, a Shiny Ho-Oh will be more powerful than a non-Shiny Ho-Oh, as well as having a different moveset.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, and {{SSB|Greninja}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, and one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat; {{p|Mewtwo}} also has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. All other playable Pokémon in the series do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the core series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

====Pokémon Rumble U====
Shiny Pokémon return to the [[Pokémon Rumble series]] in [[Pokémon Rumble U]] and function similarly to how they did in the original Pokémon Rumble.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of the main scenario. {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are 15 Shiny Pokémon, including [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, in [[Pokémon Shuffle]]: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Diancie}}. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its [[Skill]], experience, level, [[Mega Effects|Mega Effect]] (where applicable), and sometimes type.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], only the Shiny forms of certain Pokémon have been released. Those [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|families]] that have been released are listed below.

All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a [[Raid Battle]], the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny, but it may appear Shiny after it is defeated and can be caught. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.

===Pokémon Duel===
There are several figures that are Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Duel]].

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 99.png|thumb|Gold Magikarp|100px]]
A Shiny {{p|Magikarp}}, referred to as a Gold Magikarp, is one of the possible Magikarp to fish in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Shiny {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Corsola}} may also appear in random encounter events during feeding.

===Pokémon Quest===
{{incomplete|section|Details, effects or benefits, if any}}
Pokémon can appear Shiny in [[Pokémon Quest]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
Shiny Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. Players can only have one Pokémon {{Star}} per deck. The {{TCG|Stormfront}}, {{TCG|Platinum}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} and {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} sets include three cards each with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as an entirely separate rarity. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards are not limited by special gameplay and deckbuilding rules, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into non-Shiny Stage 1 Pokémon, or, in the case of Shiny {{TCG|Evolution card|evolved Pokémon}}, from normal Basic Pokémon.

Shiny versions of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] were also featured in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion as secret rares under the ''SL'' numbering subset.

From {{TCG|Next Destinies}} until {{TCG|XY}}, all secret rare cards depicted Shiny Pokémon.

Sometimes, cards with Shiny Pokémon are tied to ongoing events in the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}, such as the Shiny {{p|Gengar}} [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Gengar|distributed in October 2014]], or the appearance of the [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Noctowl sparkling.png|250px|thumb|Like Shiny Pokémon in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{AP|Noctowl}} sparkles as it exits its Poké Ball]]
[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until [[Generation II]], several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, and therefore may not be counted as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternately colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. Another example would be in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', where a non-standard alternately colored {{p|Mareanie}} (who happens to be [[James's Mareanie]]'s first love) appears, and later evolves into a {{p|Toxapex}}.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Archipelago, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gyara Dragon Rage Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|200px|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Red Gyarados PM.png|thumb|200px|left|The Red Gyarados in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

===In the movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Mega Rayquaza.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]]'s {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{adv|Silver}} captured [[Silver's Gyarados|the raging leader]] of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it [[berry|berries]]. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
The Red Gyarados makes an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'' where Team Rocket plots on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves while at the same time, Clefairy went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

==Trivia==
[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.png|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Minccino}} in the introduction screen]]
* In [[Generation III]] onwards, it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a player hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny Manaphy.
* Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generation II, several odd quirks arise:
** Since gender is also determined by IVs in Generation II, it is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
** Since {{p|Unown}}'s letter is also determined by IVs in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
** Since {{m|Hidden Power}} is determined by IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
** As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they are likely to be from the same family, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available, with two.
* It is possible for all of the following to be Shiny:
** The {{p|Poochyena}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}} that attacks [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
** The {{p|Zigzagoon}} that [[Wally]] uses in the capture tutorial in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
** The {{p|Ralts}} that [[Wally]] catches in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (but only when he catches it and not in subsequent battles).
** The Pokémon that the {{ka|old man}} encounters in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** [[Rental Pokémon]] found in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} in {{game|Emerald}}.
** [[Wild Pokémon]] that appear in {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}} and {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} in {{game|Emerald}}.
** Battle Frontier Pokémon used by the AI in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}.
** The {{p|Minccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** The {{p|Cinccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

==Biology==
Dragonite is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head, with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored, and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body, with teal wing membranes.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. It can circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly 1,556 mph (2,505 km/h), or about three times the speed of an average {{wp|airplane}}. A kindhearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in the [[EP253|anime]], however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is an island somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}}]]
* Dragonite and its pre-evolutions share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Horsea}}, its evolutions, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* In {{v2|Yellow}}, Dragonite's [[catch rate]] was changed from 45 to 9, even though this would almost never legitimately take effect within the game unless the player is encountering a {{p|Ditto}} that transforms into Dragonite. In all later games, its catch rate was changed back to 45.
* If the Pokédex entry of Dragonite saying it can circle the globe in 16 hours is about the {{wp|earth|real world}}, it means Dragonite is able to reach a speed of at least 1500 mph (2500 km/h), which is about twice the speed of sound in the air (Mach 2).

===Origin===
Dragonite resembles Japanese sea dragons, or {{wp|European dragon}}s, or fairy dragons; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Similar-looking {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s exist in art done by {{wp|Utagawa Kuniyoshi}}.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kuniyoshi_Utagawa,_Dragon_2.jpg</ref>

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', or ''night''. It could also refer to ''draconite'', a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape (similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be a combination of 海 ''kai'' (ocean), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), or 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction) and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He gives the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Brock appears in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], which is the first [[Gym]] that the {{player}} challenges on their journey. He is one of the few truly serious professional [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Pewter City]] area, and many people respect and admire him. He is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to complement this. He rarely laughs or drops his serious demeanor, but when he does, he finds it hard to stop. In his free time, he likes to dig for [[Fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]]. In addition to the {{badge|Boulder}}, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} in Red, Blue, and Yellow, and {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} in FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Yellow, Brock mentions that he is training to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, despite {{pkmn|breeding}} not being present in the game. This is a reference to the goals of his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}.

Three years later, in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock remains the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, which can be challenged at any point during the player's travels through [[Kanto]]. He is surprised to hear that the player is from the [[Johto]] [[region]], and happily accepts their challenge. While he doesn't give out a TM in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, after all 16 [[Badge]]s have been obtained, Brock can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City on any day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his [[Pokégear]] number if spoken to. If he is called on [[Days of the week|Saturday]] [[Time|night]]s, he will be up for a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. After his Pokégear number has been obtained, he will reappear in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the player can have a [[photography|photograph]] taken with him there. If he is spoken to in Diglett's Cave on a Saturday, he will offer to [[trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Brock appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] as an opponent in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He also participates alongside the Gym Leaders of Kanto, [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] in the [[World Leaders Tournament]], and other Rock-type experts in the Rock [[Type Expert Tournament]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Brock anime DP.png|thumb|250px|Brock in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
In the anime, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to {{Ash}} in his [[EP005|debut episode]]; unlike later Gym Leaders, he requested to join Ash on his journey, aiming to be the world's greatest {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. In doing so, Brock left the Gym in the hands of his father, {{ka|Flint}}, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the [[Kanto]] series, then left briefly during the [[Orange Archipelago]] arc to assist [[Professor Ivy]]. He returned to Ash's side in [[Johto]], and with brief returns to [[Pewter City]] at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] as well; however, he now wants to become a Pokémon Doctor.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of the anime, being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as something of a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone he is either rejected outright, pulled away by {{an|Misty}} or [[Max]], or, most recently, {{m|Poison Jab}}bed by his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Poké Balls PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Brock in Pokémon Origins]]
In [[Pokémon Origins]], Brock is the only Gym Leader to have a key role other than Giovanni. Much like his role in both the games, Brock is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

Brock is first seen in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', watching a [[Pokémon battle]] between {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After Red is defeated, Brock talks to Red and teaches him about the basics of Pokémon battling and training.

Later, Red discovers that Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and goes to challenge Brock to earn his first Badge. There, they have a Gym battle in which Brock teaches Red about type matchups and strategy. Brock is shown to have many Pokémon, and selects Geodude and Onix when Red confirms that he has no [[Badge]]s. This implies that all Gym Leaders have Pokémon of varying strengths in reserve in order to keep each challenge a fair fight. After a tough battle, Red eventually defeats Brock by using all of his Pokémon to slowly weaken Brock's Onix until it falls. Having lost the battle, Brock awards Red with the Boulder Badge and {{TM|34|Bide}}.

Unlike most other characters in Pokémon Origins, whose designs were based on their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} designs, Brock's design is more akin to his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} design.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
{{main|Brock (anime)#In the Ash & Pikachu manga|Brock (anime)}}
Brock appears in [[Ash & Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} based on the Pokémon anime. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} alongside {{an|Misty}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Brock (anime)#In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Brock (anime)}}
As the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based on the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} is a commonly recurring character, although he does not appear in every chapter and he does not travel with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} constantly.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).
{{-}}
===In the movie manga adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|200px|Brock with his friends]]
As Brock has appeared in every movie prior to the {{series|Best Wishes}}, he has appeared in every manga adaptation of it. His team in the manga adaptations are the same as in the films.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Brock Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Brock and his {{p|Geodude}}]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'' of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, however he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'' about being bored by no one being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] battled [[Agatha]]'s mind-controlling {{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

After [[Blaine]] figured out that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]] before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon is closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of Red frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that [[Pewter City]] was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to [[Johto]] for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

|desc=Brock owns six {{p|Geodude}}, nicknamed Geoone, Geotwo, Geothree, and so on. One of them appeared in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'' watching the battles with his Trainer. The other five first appeared in ''[[PS064|Putting It On The Line...Against Arcanine]]''. They often grasp each others' wrists in order to circle around Brock to protect him. During the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, they used their {{m|Magnitude}} to stop the Magnet Train. However, the impact sent it off course, causing it to almost crash before it was saved by {{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax.}}

|desc={{p|Onix}} is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small Electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with [[Jasmine]]. It lost to [[Jasmine's Steelix]], which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time.}}

It knows many ancient attacks and is a very powerful member of Brock's team; it was able to easily hold its own against Jasmine's [[Amphy]], nearly winning him the match despite the type disadvantage.

Kabutops's only known move is {{m|Ancient Power}}, and its Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Brock debuts in the chapter ''[[PM003|Take Out The Rival Onix!!]]'' of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Before {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} arrived in Pewter City, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} got there and took Brock on. However, Brock was brutally strong as he managed to knock Green and his {{TP|Green|Charmander}} back into a window. The impact caused him to tell Red about Brock's strength. Despite Green's advice, Red decides to go to the Gym anyway. Red notices Brock's collection of Pokémon he had caught over the years and one of them turned out to be {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. Brock then came and Red had his first Gym battle with him. Red used Clefairy while Brock used {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Clefairy managed to defeat Onix by having it chase its own tail, earning Red the {{badge|Boulder}}.

Brock reappears in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'' in a form of a cameo. He is seen wearing his outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* In {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, all of Brock's Pokémon are part {{type|Ground}} as well as part {{type|Rock}}.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Type expert|expert]], none of Brock's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Generation I]] know any Rock-type [[move]]s, only knowing {{type|Normal}} moves. This was changed in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In Generation I, Brock's {{p|Onix}} knows {{m|Bind}} at [[level]]s 12 and 14, despite Onix not learning the move until level 15.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a [[TM]] of his specialty type, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in Generation I, however, as in FireRed and LeafGreen, Brock's chosen TM changed from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* During his Gym battle in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock uses a {{p|Rhyhorn}} with the [[Ability]] {{a|Sturdy}}, even though Rhyhorn cannot normally have that Ability.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock trades the player a Rhyhorn knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[Egg Move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}, who is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and once owned a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]].
* As seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock's [[Trainer ID number]] is 06845.
* Out of all of Brock's Pokémon in the [[core series]] games, only three do not suffer from a double weakness to {{t|Grass}}: {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Brock has been shown with several non-Rock-type Pokémon that his anime counterpart would later come to own, namely {{p|Golbat}} in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Stadium}}'s Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight.
* Brock shares his French name (Pierre) with {{Steven}}, the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Brock wasn't originally planned to be the first Gym Leader in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>

The '''Lake of Rage''' (Japanese: '''{{j|いかりのみずうみ}}''' ''Lake of Rage''), also known as '''Gyarados Lake''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ギャラドスこ}}''' ''Gyarados Lake''), is a location in [[Johto]]. It is located just north of [[Mahogany Town]], connecting it with {{rt|43|Johto}}, making it the northern-most accessible point of the [[Johto]] region. A large lake spans the area of the Lake of Rage, with a few residents living nearby. It is said to be the largest lake in the region. West of the lake lies a labyrinth of trees, which hides a house.

It is said the Lake of Rage was created the last time many {{p|Gyarados}} got together and stirred up a storm. The crater that remained filled with rainwater and became the Lake of Rage. In the middle of the lake dwells a {{Shiny}} [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]] that had recently became irritable due to the radio waves transmitted by [[Team Rocket]] from their [[Team Rocket HQ|hideout]] in [[Mahogany Town]]. The Lake of Rage was considered a dangerous place to go, as the [[red Gyarados]] started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers.

==Geography==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Initial size record to beat in HGSS, checking what the item is in HGSS}}
[[File:Lake of Rage Red Gyarados GSC.png|left|thumb|200px|In [[Generation II]]]]
[[File:Lake of Rage HGSS.png|thumb|200px|In [[Generation IV]]]]
The Lake of Rage is located north of {{rt|43|Johto}}. Along the way to the Lake of Rage, the {{player}} will meet several members of [[Team Rocket]]. By {{m|surf}}ing into the middle of the lake, the player will encounter a [[red Gyarados]]. After catching, defeating or fleeing from it, the {{player}} will receive a Red Scale ({{key|II|Red Scale|Generation II}}, {{key|IV|Red Scale|Generation IV}}). [[Lance]], of the [[Elite Four]], will be waiting for the player on the shore afterwards, and will speak of the secret [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it will rain at the lake every day except Wednesdays. When it rains, the lake will flood; this flooding is not present when the weather is calm. Different items are accessible and different Trainers appear depending on the weather.

To the northwest of the lake, there is a house hidden within a labyrinth of trees. Inside, a man will give players {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} for locating the reclusive house. The path to this house begins in Route 43, on the western side. In Generation II, crossing the lake is not required, but it is the opposite in Generation IV, as the house is only reachable when the Lake is flooded. On Wednesdays, [[Week Siblings|Wesley]] is found near this house, and will give the player a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Black Belt}} the first time they meet, and then a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Downcast Ribbon}} every week after having met all seven siblings ([[Generation IV]] only).

Southeast of the lake is another house, where a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Guru]] resides. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest {{p|Magikarp}}, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If he is shown a Magikarp, he will calculate its size and give the player an [[Elixir]] if it is bigger than the largest one he had seen before. Initially, this record is 3'6" and held by Ralph in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

The player can also {{m|Fly}} to the Lake of Rage; in [[Generation II]] it is the only destination in any game that can be flown to where the player will not land in front of a building, but in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the player lands in front of the Fishing Guru's house.

==Walking Pokémon effects==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Verification and whether there are any missing}}
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.
*{{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Magikarp}} behave unusually here.
*When it is raining, {{t|Water}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon become happy, while {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon become angry.
*Other than that, the walking Pokémon would look around restlessly at the lake.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lake Rage anime.png|thumb|200px|left|Lake of Rage in the anime]]
[[File:Lake Rage anime map.png|thumb|200px|A map of Lake of Rage in the anime]]
===In the main series===
The Lake of Rage, referred to as Lake Rage in the {{pkmn|anime}}, was featured in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]''. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lance]] learned that [[Team Rocket]] was conducting experiments at the lake as a part of their [[Project R]], involving forced Pokémon [[evolution]]. Since the [[Red Gyarados]] was the only Pokémon in the lake to have been affected by their experiments, Team Rocket captured it for further studying. However, their project ended in a failure when Lance destroyed Team Rocket's research facility at the lake, followed by the Red Gyarados escaping and getting {{pkmn2|caught}} by Lance.
{{-}}

[[File:Lake of Rage PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Lake of Rage in Pokémon Generations]]
===In Pokémon Generations===
The Lake of Rage appeared in the [[Pokémon Generations]] episode ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]''. [[Lance]] had briefly encountered and battled the [[Red Gyarados]] at the lake, motivating him in investigating the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]]. After the radio wave generator that had forced {{p|Gyarados}} to evolve had been destroyed, Lance revisited the lake to see that the Red Gyarados had calmed down.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Lake of Rage appears in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga.

{{adv|Gold}} follows {{adv|Silver}} to the Lake of Rage. Looking for him, Gold is surprised by a group of {{p|Gyarados}} thrashing around in the water. The locals flee, but Gold spots Silver running towards the lake. Nearly crushed by a glancing attack, Silver tells Gold that there are strange radio waves in the area, forcing the wild Pokémon to evolve. Silver flies off to find the source of the radio waves, leaving Gold alone to deal with multiple angry wild Gyarados by himself.

Interference on their [[Pokégear]] reveals the source to be a [[Red Gyarados]] in the center of the swarm. Silver captures it, thus stopping the rest from rampaging. But it's only a matter of seconds before the two boys begin arguing again.

Suddenly, a fog covers the area. Gold instantly recognizes it as that of the [[Masked Man]]. Secretly setting up a ring of razor-sharp icicles around them, the two boys fight alongside each other, before the Mask's taunting gets the better of Silver. Chasing after him alone, Silver calls upon all of the wild Gyarados in the Lake (as the [[Silver's Gyarados|Red Gyarados]] is the leader of them) and uses their combined strength to attack the Mask.

Meanwhile, Gold is busy dealing with some of the Mask's Pokémon by himself. After cleverly defeating them, he hurries after Silver, only to find the entire lake frozen solid. Silver and his Gyarados are knocked out. Gold runs to him, only to see a giant chunk of ice smash into Silver, throwing him into the water. Claiming that Silver was being punished, the Mask then attacks Gold as well. The last few panels show Gold and his [[Aibo|Aipom]] the instant before a giant chunk of ice is about to hit them, and the impact. Gold's hat and goggles are seen tossed into the air.

Many weeks later, [[Lt. Surge]] returns to the battle site to find the Red Gyarados frozen in the lake, and managed to procure both the boys' belongings and the Gyarados itself when it knocks itself out trying to smash open a mass of ice containing Gold and Silver's baggage.

==Trivia==
[[File:Beta Lake of Rage.png|thumb|200px|A possible prototype of the Lake of Rage]]
* Unused debug text in Japanese Crystal spells the lake's name as {{j|「イカリのみずうみ」}}, with ''ikari'' in katakana ({{j|イカリ}}) as opposed to the usual hiragana ({{j|いかり}}). Additionally, there is a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|leftover]] map in Gold and Silver that includes a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Poké Mart]], and even a Pokémon [[Gym]] surrounding a lake that is a similar size and shape to the Lake of Rage.
* [[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|''Sevii Islands'']] in FireRed and LeafGreen ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvpQsxxzELw listen]) is a rearrangement of {{DL|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Disc 3|''Route 42''}} from Gold and Silver ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx_h8oIgmsE listen]), which is shared with the Lake of Rage.
* Even though it is said that Team Rocket's radio signal is evolving all the Magikarp in Lake of Rage, Magikarp can still be found there at any time.
* {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Lois makes a reference to a pink Butterfree, possibly [[Pink Butterfree|the one]] that appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]'', but more likely an ordinary {{Shiny}} {{p|Butterfree}}.

'''Bellsprout''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マダツボミ''' ''Madatsubomi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Weepinbell}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into {{p|Victreebel}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
Bellsprout is a plant-based Pokémon with a stem-like brown body. This stem is long, thin and very flexible, making it capable of swerving rapidly to avoid many attacks or moving with blinding speed to capture prey. Its roots resemble feet, and it uses them as such. It will plant these feet in the ground to replenish water, but it is unable to flee while it is rooted. It has one green leaf on each side of its body. Its yellow head is bell-shaped and has what appear to be pink lips at the end. Bellsprout prefers hot and humid places, living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

==Trivia==
* Bellsprout shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
* Bellsprout can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Oddish}}. Both of them are {{2t|Grass|Poison}} type {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} and are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}, who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 21, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. Bellsprout is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, while Oddish is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}}, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be found at [[White Forest]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}, and both Pokémon have had their {{pkmn|Egg}} designs revealed.

===Origin===
Bellsprout and its evolutions may be based upon carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s, particularly the ''{{wp|Nepenthes}}'' genus.

====Name origin====
Bellsprout is a combination of ''bell'' (referring to its bell-like head) and ''sprout'' (referring to it being relatively young in its evolutionary line).

Madatsubomi can be taken to mean まだ蕾 (still [a] flower bud).
