'''Wailord''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホエルオー''' ''Whaloh'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wailmer}} starting at [[level]] 40.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Wailord are mammalian Pokémon that are well known as the [[List of Pokémon by height|largest Pokémon]] discovered so far. They have small beady eyes, a huge mouth, a throat that is lined with grooves and four white spots aligned on its back. It has two pairs of fins along its side and a horizontal tail at the back. It's vaguely shaped like a torpedo or a blimp.<br />
<br />
Despite its enormous size, [[HSOWA|it is able to breed with many land-based Pokémon that are much smaller]]. This is due to it being in the {{egg3|Ground}}, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
====Special abilities====<br />
Wailord are able to take in large amounts of air and dive to incredible depths with just one massive breath. Since it is based on a whale and has a blowhole, it is one of the few Pokémon that are able to use {{m|Water Spout}}. With their large mouths, they are able to eat extreme quantities of food.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Wailord are known to live in large packs, called pods, for traveling as well as finding prey. When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
The only habitat that's expansive enough for these gigantic Pokémon is the open ocean.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
Despite being so large, they probably feed on some of the smallest creatures in the ocean, swallowing entire schools in a single gulp.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
Wailord first appeared in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a [[Pokémon Center]]. [[Team Rocket]] tried to haul it away, but a {{p|Combusken}} foiled their plans.<br />
[[Image:WailordAnime.jpg|210px|right|thumb|Wailord in the anime]]<br />
A Wailmer that befriended a man named [[Robin]] evolved into a Wailord in ''[[AG124|Island Time]]''. This Wailord transported {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for [[Ever Grande City]].<br />
<br />
Along with their pre-evolved form, Wailord appeared in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', a family of Wailord appeared. One Wailmer was separated from its family, and {{Ash}} helped it get back. By the end of the episode, this Wailmer evolved into a Wailord.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{Adventures|Sapphire}} has a Wailord nicknamed Walo. He is kept at sea so that she and [[Professor Birch|her father]] can use him for sea travel. However, later she returns him to his Poké Ball and carries him as part of her party.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Wailord (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
==Game data==<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: A Wailord is seen in the [[Sea of Wailord]] that was trapped by [[Team Dim Sun]]. The player must free it by deactivating the traps. Later on in the game, it is seen attacking [[Kincaid]]'s submarine. After the {{player}} captures {{p|Darkrai}} for the fist time, and then goes to [[Haruba Desert]]'s dock, Wailord will ferry the player to the [[Capture Arena]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Wailord is the tallest Pokémon in existence, but only the tenth heaviest.<br />
** Wailord is the only Pokémon which was the tallest in the generation of its debut that was not outdone in the following generation (as happened to {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix}}).<br />
** Despite the fact that real-life fully grown blue whales weigh nearly 180 {{wp|tonne|tonnes}}, Wailord does not even weigh more than a half tonne, less than one sixth the weight of a real blue whale's tongue.<br />
* A Wailord, along with a {{p|Relicanth}}, is necessary in the party in order to unleash the three [[legendary golems]] from their sleeping places within the [[Sealed Chamber]] in the Generation III games.<br />
**This should mean that Wailord have existed for a long time, since the legendary golems have been sealed away a long time ago, and Relicanth lived a long time ago.<br />
* Wailord is well-known for the [[HSOWA]] joke.<br />
* Wailord has the fourth highest base HP stat of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Wobbuffet}}, in that order.<br />
** It ''does'' have the highest HP of all water types. With that, Wailord has the second highest single base stat out of all the water-types, after Cloyster's Defense.<br />
* In the games [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Wailord was resized to fit in the battlefield. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] however, its size matches its Pokédex entry.<br />
* Wailord is the only Pokémon in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} that doesn't need to be captured to be added to the [[Browser]].<br />
** Additionally, its Browser entry states that it is too big to capture.<br />
===Origin===<br />
This Pokémon is based on the {{wp|blue whale}}, the largest known animal to ever exist. It also resembles a submarine, a blimp, and a torpedo.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Wailord's name is a combination of ''whale'' and ''lord''. ''Wail'' may also refer to the sounds or songs that whales and this Pokémon might make.<br />
<br />
''Whaloh'' is probably a combination of ''whale'', 吠える ''hoeru'', to cry or bellow, and 王 ''ō'', king.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Wailord<br />
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Wailord<br />
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 고래왕 ''Goraewang'' - Portmanteau of 고래 ''whale'' and 왕 ''king''. It is notable that 대왕고래 ''daewanggorae'' is the Korean name of the blue whale.<br />
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 吼鯨王 ''Hǒu Jīng Wáng'' - Literally "Bellowing whale king".<br />

Hmm, Dialga does not have the most resistances, the Magnemite and its evolutions do, with one immunity and twelve resistances, two of them being doubly strong, albeit having more weaknesses. I'll make a change.<br />
<br />
== Japanese pronunciation ==<br />
Why do you people believe it's japanese name is "Dialga" when it's really Diaruga? <small>Unsigned comment by {{u|IDeoxys}}</small><br />
:Same thing. Dialga is the romanized version.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 19:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Diaruga is how it's pronounced, but the official Nintendo romanization is Dialga. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 23:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Remember that ル is how Japanese people write "l" and "ru"; despite the fact that they are limited in writing, they pronounce "l" - just with an accent. [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 13:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Capture Dialga ==<br />
<br />
Dialga is realy hard to catch {{unsigned|23water23|12:20, 6 September 2007}}<br />
<br />

:Are you kidding me?? All I had to do is change the clock to make it "night" and I caught Palkia with a Dusk Ball. Never waste your Master Ball on something like Dialga or Palkia. [[User:Dialgarules|Dialgarules]] 22:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Unique levels to be found at.==<br />
This was recently removed from the trivia section on this page: "* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the only two legends who's levels are not a multiple of 10. Meaning, you meet all other legends at levels 30,40,50 and so on, but those two you meet at Lv. 47."<br />
It was removed because Kyogre and Groudon are both found at level 45. My question then is, couldn't we just change the 10 to a 5 in that quote and keep it on the page? --[[User:Ozzie|Ozzie]] 21:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Well, if the trivia item was spelled that wrong, what with "who's" instead of the correct "whose" and a "you" or two in there, I can see why it was removed. It's an interesting bit of trivia, though, that D and P are the only legends met at a level that isn't an even multiple of 5.

should we mention the fact that dialga becomes primal dialga when it loses control over time in Pokémon time explorers in the trivia?--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 14:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Catch Rate? ==<br />
<br />
It says it the Trivia Section that [[Palkia (Pokémon)|Palkia]], Dialga, and [[Phione]], are the legendary that has the highest catch rate. But what about [[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shaymin]]? It has a catch rate of 45!<br />
[[User:Palkia38|Palkia38]] 03:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Well, its weird that {{p|Giratina}} is harder to catch than Dialga or {{p|Palkia}}. Weirder still, there are still other weak pokémon that is harder to catch. [[User:DragonTamer|DragonTamer]]<br />

== Origin ==<br />
<br />
Should we put {{wp|Kan-Laon}} because it is similar to dialga --[[User:Bakunawa|Bakunawa]] 07:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Kan-Laon is a deity of time in the {{wp|Philippine mythology}}. And yourname, {{wp|Bakunawa}} is a Philippine dragon that was said to swallow the moon! Dude, are you a Filipino? Looks like I've found a friend! Me a Filipino too! Mabuhay ang {{wp|Pilipinas}}!^_^[[User:Palkia38|Palkia38]] 09:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Browser entry? ==<br />
<br />
How is its browser entry currently unknown? Surely someone can extract it, plus Palkia and Shaymin's entries, from the game's data? Y'know, like what's done to find out base stats? I would be glad to do this, if I knew how. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

<br />
== Anime section ==<br />
<br />
Why don't wee just make [[Dialga (anime)]] and [[Palkia (anime)]] to the main sections of the anijme versions of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}? it is impossible to have multiple creators and rulers of time and space, aswell as mutliple [[Arceus (Pokémon)|multiple creators]] of the {{pkmn|universe}}.

<br />
:Not if they are the lords of ALL time, space, and the universe. They travel the dimensions, because they created them. You might think of alternate realities/parallell dimensions, but they created those too. And basically, you're also saying we should delete the [[Giratina (anime)]] page too because he was in one movie. '''[[Team Rocket|<small><span style="color: #550000;">R.A.</span></small>]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|<small><font color="#FF2400">Hunter</font></small>]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|<small><font color="#FF2400">Blade</font></small>]]''' 22:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uhm, I think you might have misunderstood me a bit. I said that it only can be one creator each of time and space. Therefore, their situation is different from legendaries like {{p|Articuno}} or {{p|Heatran}}, as they basically have no function anywhere close to that. Sure, Heatran created [[Stark Mountain]]... but if it's more Heatrans in the anime, anyone of them can do so. Unlike Arceus, which it only can be one of - after all, he was the ORIGINAL One and created the friggin universe. According to the Sinnoh myths, which is canon in addition to official as they WAS WRITTEN by [[Game Freak]], Arceus only made ''one'' creator and ruler of time, and only ''one'' creator of space - Dialga and Palkia. And no, I have never said that we should delete Giratina (anime) because of that ridicouls reason - we having someting in the rules called [[Bulbapedia:Notability requirements|notability requirements]], which Giratina (anime) that Giratina and most other articles about movie Pokémon fits perfectly.

== Dragon duo typing and appearance ==<br />
<br />
this may be speculation but<br />
<br />
wouldnt it make sense to put in the trivia section that Palkia and dialga's typing corresponds with the gem they have?<br />
<br />
hard diamond has a '''steel''' hard master of time while smooth Pearl has '''water''' type considering pearls come from water<br />
<br />
also I've noticed that palkia has some fish traits to it (the wiings look like fins) which also live in the water (palkia it'self swims through space which it controls) and dialga's dinosaur appearance can be connected to time (some of the first living creatures)<br />
<br />

== Based on "''Amphicoelias" fragillimus''? ==<br />
I have no idea how people deduce that. To most people, "''Amphicoelias''" would appear as ''Diplodocus'' did in Walking With Dinosaurs, not like a brachiosaurid or something. Granted that a 45* neck angle now seems probable in most if not all sauropods, but why single out "''A''". ''fragillimus'' and not something more well known, such as good old ''Brachiosaurus'' (which i must say resembles Diagla far more). I mean, theres debate as to weather "''A''". ''fragillimus'' is even valid, so if you must use a diplodocid, why not ''Diplodocus'' itself, or perhaps even ''Apatosaurus'' (ignore the ridiculous notion that "Amphicoelias brontodiplodocus" represents all diplodocids from the morrison formation).

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.<br />
<br />
Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Rayquaza is a large, green, flying serpentine-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza appears to have a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout, the other protrusions in its mouth apparently from pointed gums. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Rayquaza is a genderless species.<br />
<br />
====Special abilities====<br />
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]], when angered. Rayquaza is capable of using various powerful elemental attacks that it shoots from its mouth. Rayquaza can negate the effects of the weather. Since Rayquaza is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home. Due to the fact that can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader and calm.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]<br />
Rayquaza lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may rest on [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]], or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. It also, on occasion, flies the world's skies when disturbed.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Rayquaza_flying.png|thumb|275px|right|Rayquaza in the anime]]<br />
<br />
{{mov|Rayquaza|Rayquaza|7}} appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. This Pokémon, like most other featured legendary Pokémon, proved to be extremely powerful. It fights against {{mov|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory. After a destructive battle over a glacier witnessed by [[Professor Lund]], [[Yuko]], and Lund's son [[Tory Lund|Tory]], and although it takes a few {{m|Psycho Boost}}s and is critically hit and falls into the freezing ocean, Rayquaza comes back and defeats Deoxys with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack. Four years later, Deoxys manages to regenerate, and it goes to find its friend, another Deoxys. Rayquaza senses its presence and goes to LaRousse City to battle Deoxys again. After [[LaRousse City]] has been evacuated, Rayquaza manages to break through Deoxys's city-wide barrier after many failed attempts. Then, Rayquaza and Deoxys have a second spectacular battle that destroys some of the city. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It (or possibly another of its species) also has a cameo in the opening to the [[M09|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown, possibly flying around in the atmosphere (assuming it managed to escape from Team Rocket).<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared in ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius.<br />
<br />
A real Rayquaza appeared in its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===<br />
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, [[Wally]] and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Rayquaza (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
==Other appearances==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br />
Rayquaza appears in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands into a mysterious island, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious from being distrupted. A ship suddenly crash-lands and smashes onto the beach, and out jumps {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}}, who deflects Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at it. Rayquaza collapses into the water, but not for long until it launches back out, engaging in battle between Fox and Diddy. Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles after the storyline is beaten.<br />
<br />
====Trophy Information====<br />
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''<br />
<br />
==Game data==<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
[[File:RayquazaSSBB.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.<br />
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.<br />
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.<br />
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Rayquaza has the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Dragon}} and {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon.<br />
** Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}} for highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
**Rayquaza has the highest Special Attack of all Flying-type Pokémon<br />
*Rayquaza is the tallest legendary Pokémon.<br />
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level-up in the same generation that it's an HM.<br />
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, tying with {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Lucario}} for the most, not counting {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}. <br />
**It cannot learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}, while Togekiss cannot learn any damaging {{t|Ice}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but can learn {{m|Toxic}} as well.<br />
*It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.<br />
*Rayquaza is the only [[trio master]] that is actually a member of its own trio.<br />
*Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[Elemental type|type]].<br />
*Though Rayquaza can be fought by a Pokémon character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, it is not fought by any Pokémon characters when it first appears.<br />
*Rayquaza is currently the only Pokémon with its [[base stats|base stat total]] that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[dragon trio]] all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.<br />
*Rayquaza's [[Generation III]] sprites show the interior of its mouth as a blue colour. However, its [[Generation IV]] sprites have a red mouth interior.<br />
===Origin===<br />
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from a ''{{wp|Chinese dragon}}''.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 座 ''za'', from universe.<br />
