If I could just input my opinion here...

First off, I wholeheartedly agree with Pokemaniac, for saying that all Glitch Pokémon are Pokémon. I've taken that stand myself for as long as I can remember. I mean, it makes sense. Missingno. has a catch rate, a dex entry, a sprite, attacks, types, a cry, and base stats. Far as I'm concerned, that's what constitutes a Pokémon.

Secondly, I think glitch Pokémon should be included in these sorts of articles, but under a special category. Say, for instance, the page [[Normal (type)]]. We have categories for pure normals, normals with a secondary type, and other types with normal as a secondary type. I'm thinking a fourth category: Glitch Pokémon with a Normal type. This would include any and all glitch Pokémon with Normal as their only, first, second, or both types [[A (uppercase)|(And yes, there is a glitch Pokémon that's Normal/Normal)]]. Just my idea. Feel free to shoot it down at your leisure. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 01:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

:...
:We don't need to include glitches on every single page that's made up of the 'regular' Pokémon, like the [[Normal (type)]] page. Look through the history - I think at one point Missingno was on there, but got taken off. See? :p [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 01:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

:::Well, there's a very large difference. Regular Pokémon appear in everything Pokémon-related. Glitch Pokémon don't appear in anything else but the games because they were never intended to be seen by anyone but the programmers.

== Weight divisions ==

I think dividing the Pokémon into weight classes based on Low Kick/Grass Knot power would make it easier to tell how much damage those moves would do. --[[User:Wild Eep|Wild Eep]] 21:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

== Actual borderlines ==

So, gee, guys, it's great and all that we have these divisions sets out for what affects what, but I was kinda thinking it might be a good idea to point out whether the ranges for the different effects are inclusive or exclusive. For example: "Pokémon weighing between 677.3 lbs and 903.0 lbs have a +30 catch rate when using a Heavy Ball" This doesn't say whether it is between 677.3 lbs and 903.0 lbs and does not include the actual numbers, or whether it does include the numbers.

Basically, I'm trying figure out whether it is "greater than or equal to" or just "greater than". You get what I'm saying? [[User:Norle|Norle]] 01:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

== Headings ==
The headings used to divide groups of Pokémon by weight are extremely inconsistent. Some of the division headings use the actual weights of their lightest and heaviest Pokémon, while others seem to use entirely arbitrary weights in their divisions. (Example: the last section of heavyweights is supposed to include "903.0 lbs to 1041.0 lbs" but there aren't Pokémon with either of those weights. However, the second section includes "11.5 lbs to 22.0 lbs" and the first and last Pokémon in that section have those exact weights.) Either we need to change all the headings to list exact first and last weights, or make none of them exact weights.

:It's going to have to be redone for Generation V. I suggest someone starts on a brightly colored template.
:For the divisions, I'd suggest only dividing into subsections when the game effects change - or would that make some of them too big? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:59, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
::I agree there. Which would mean we would have the following divisions:
* 0.2 lbs to 21.9 lbs
* 22.0 lbs to 44.0 lbs
* 44.1 lbs to 54.9 lbs
* 55.0 lbs to 109.9 lbs

:What do people thnk of this? (link removed) The bulba colours are kind of just a placeholder, and I'm not particularly keen on the descriptors, but it's a start.

== I'm pretty sure that... ==

The game developers used weight in kilograms for all the cutoffs, etc.

If you look at it:

The cutoffs for Low Kick and Grass Knot are shown as follows in the article:
*20 - 22.0 lb = 9.97 kg
*40 - 55.0 lb = 24.95 kg
*60 - 110.0 lb = 49.90 kg
*80 - 220.0 lb = 99.79 kg
*100 - 440.0 lb = 199.58 kg

I'm pretty sure those should be 10.0 kg, 25.0 kg, 50.0 kg, etc. exactly, which make much more sense than 22, 55, 110, etc. pounds.

This means that the values are going to have to be adjusted a bit:

*20 - 10.0 kg = 22.0 lb
*40 - 25.0 kg = 55.1 lb
*60 - 50.0 kg = 110.2 lb
*80 - 100.0 kg = 220.4 lb
*100 - 200.0 kg = 440.9 lb

What do you think? [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

== Dust created by heavy Pokemon ==

I hadn't noticed this until Generation V, but it seems Pokemon create screen shakes and/or dust clouds billow based on their weight. Anyone know the cutoffs for say (these are just example names):

* No shake?
* Slight shake?
* Heavy shake?
* Heavy shake and dust?

Some examples:

* Galvantula (31.5 lbs/14.3 kg) and Lilligant (35.9 lbs/16.3 kg) both shake the screen slightly.
* Archeops (70.5 lbs/32.0 kg) does not shake the screen. ''(I assume any Pokemon whose sprite does not physically touch the ground are exempt from this weight check.)''
* Krookodile (212.3 lbs/96.3 kg) shakes the screen heavily but does not produce dust.
* Emboar (330.7 lbs/150 kg) and Scolipede (442 lbs/ 200.5 kg) both shake the screen and produce dust.

I assume they threw this in so that people using Low Kick/Grass Knot could tell immediately a general idea of the power of the move on the current Pokemon, so if anyone knows this information, that'd be awesome.
[[User:Crassus|Crassus]] 02:43, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

:I noticed that one as well... but Giratina, who has two forms, does different:
:* Altered Forme does shake the screen and produces dust,
:* Origin Forme, though lighter than the other forme, does not touch the ground, ergo there's no shake. [[User:Palkia38|Palkia38]] 12:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed the cutoff for the Heavy Shake is at about 330 lbs or 150 kg. Bastiodon (329.6 lbs/149.5 kg) did not cause the dust to form but Emboar (330.7 lbs/150 kg) did.

We have categories for pure normals, normals with a secondary type, and other types with normal as a secondary type. I'm thinking a fourth category: Glitch Pokémon with a Normal type. This would include any and all glitch Pokémon with Normal as their only, first, second, or both types [[A (uppercase)|(And yes, there is a glitch Pokémon that's Normal/Normal)]]. Just my idea. Feel free to shoot it down at your leisure. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 01:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

:...
:We don't need to include glitches on every single page that's made up of the 'regular' Pokémon, like the [[Normal (type)]] page. Look through the history - I think at one point Missingno was on there, but got taken off.

:::Well, there's a very large difference. Regular Pokémon appear in everything Pokémon-related. Glitch Pokémon don't appear in anything else but the games because they were never intended to be seen by anyone but the programmers.

== Weight divisions ==

I think dividing the Pokémon into weight classes based on Low Kick/Grass Knot power would make it easier to tell how much damage those moves would do. --[[User:Wild Eep|Wild Eep]] 21:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

== Actual borderlines ==

So, gee, guys, it's great and all that we have these divisions sets out for what affects what, but I was kinda thinking it might be a good idea to point out whether the ranges for the different effects are inclusive or exclusive. For example: "Pokémon weighing between 677.3 lbs and 903.0 lbs have a +30 catch rate when using a Heavy Ball" This doesn't say whether it is between 677.3 lbs and 903.0 lbs and does not include the actual numbers, or whether it does include the numbers.

Basically, I'm trying figure out whether it is "greater than or equal to" or just "greater than". You get what I'm saying? [[User:Norle|Norle]] 01:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

== Headings ==
The headings used to divide groups of Pokémon by weight are extremely inconsistent. Some of the division headings use the actual weights of their lightest and heaviest Pokémon, while others seem to use entirely arbitrary weights in their divisions. (Example: the last section of heavyweights is supposed to include "903.0 lbs to 1041.0 lbs" but there aren't Pokémon with either of those weights. However, the second section includes "11.5 lbs to 22.0 lbs" and the first and last Pokémon in that section have those exact weights.) Either we need to change all the headings to list exact first and last weights, or make none of them exact weights.

:It's going to have to be redone for Generation V. I suggest someone starts on a brightly colored template.
:For the divisions, I'd suggest only dividing into subsections when the game effects change - or would that make some of them too big? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:59, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
::I agree there. Which would mean we would have the following divisions:
* 0.2 lbs to 21.9 lbs
* 22.0 lbs to 44.0 lbs
* 44.1 lbs to 54.9 lbs
* 55.0 lbs to 109.9 lbs

:What do people thnk of this? (link removed) The bulba colours are kind of just a placeholder, and I'm not particularly keen on the descriptors, but it's a start.

== I'm pretty sure that... ==

The game developers used weight in kilograms for all the cutoffs, etc.

If you look at it:

The cutoffs for Low Kick and Grass Knot are shown as follows in the article:
*20 - 22.0 lb = 9.97 kg
*40 - 55.0 lb = 24.95 kg
*60 - 110.0 lb = 49.90 kg
*80 - 220.0 lb = 99.79 kg
*100 - 440.0 lb = 199.58 kg

I'm pretty sure those should be 10.0 kg, 25.0 kg, 50.0 kg, etc. exactly, which make much more sense than 22, 55, 110, etc. pounds.

This means that the values are going to have to be adjusted a bit:

*20 - 10.0 kg = 22.0 lb
*40 - 25.0 kg = 55.1 lb
*60 - 50.0 kg = 110.2 lb
*80 - 100.0 kg = 220.4 lb
*100 - 200.0 kg = 440.9 lb

What do you think? [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

== Dust created by heavy Pokemon ==

I hadn't noticed this until Generation V, but it seems Pokemon create screen shakes and/or dust clouds billow based on their weight. Anyone know the cutoffs for say (these are just example names):

* No shake?
* Slight shake?
* Heavy shake?
* Heavy shake and dust?

Some examples:

* Galvantula (31.5 lbs/14.3 kg) and Lilligant (35.9 lbs/16.3 kg) both shake the screen slightly.
* Archeops (70.5 lbs/32.0 kg) does not shake the screen. ''(I assume any Pokemon whose sprite does not physically touch the ground are exempt from this weight check.)''
* Krookodile (212.3 lbs/96.3 kg) shakes the screen heavily but does not produce dust.
* Emboar (330.7 lbs/150 kg) and Scolipede (442 lbs/ 200.5 kg) both shake the screen and produce dust.

I assume they threw this in so that people using Low Kick/Grass Knot could tell immediately a general idea of the power of the move on the current Pokemon, so if anyone knows this information, that'd be awesome.
[[User:Crassus|Crassus]] 02:43, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

:I noticed that one as well... but Giratina, who has two forms, does different:
:* Altered Forme does shake the screen and produces dust,
:* Origin Forme, though lighter than the other forme, does not touch the ground, ergo there's no shake. [[User:Palkia38|Palkia38]] 12:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed the cutoff for the Heavy Shake is at about 330 lbs or 150 kg. Bastiodon (329.6 lbs/145 kg) did not cause the dust to form but Emboar (330.7 lbs/150 kg) did.

Dark (type)

2011-06-10T18:47:15Z

Swampert Man: /* Offense */

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
The '''Dark type''' (Japanese: '''あくタイプ''' ''Evil type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Grimsley]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has never had a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] specialize in it. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Dark-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

===Defense===
Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s. However if a Psychic/Dark type were to be together, then it will have no resistances (except for a double-weakness to Bug-type moves).

===Offense===
Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|Flinch}}ing, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], the three Dark-type moves that are currently special ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Snarl}} and {{m|Night Daze}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s, which helps many dark types since most of them are physical attackers.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Electric}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno" (nocturnal), but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" (darkness) as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* Because of {{m|Bite}}'s change to Dark from the {{type|Normal}} in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Dark-type move introduced in each generation. Despite this, there is not a Dark-type Pokémon from each generation; Dark is the only type not assigned to a Pokémon introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Steel}}.
* There has yet to be a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.
* So far, only 9 Dark-type moves have been shown in the anime, the least of all elemental types.

Swampert Man: /* Characteristics */

{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Psychic type''' (Japanese: '''エスパータイプ''' ''Esper type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon are [[Sabrina]] of [[Saffron City]], [[Will]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Tate and Liza]] of [[Mossdeep City]], [[Lucian]] of the [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four, and [[Caitlin]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Psychic-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}} and/or {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Beheeyem}}, and {{p|Reuniclus}}). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

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

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 68 Psychic-type Pokémon or 10.48% of all Pokémon, making it the fifth most common elemental type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types).

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} with a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* All of Psychic's weaknesses (Bug, Ghost and Dark) are based on typical fears. This is most likely because fears can manipulate the mind. Hence, the [[ability]] {{a|Rattled}}.
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic type itself.
** However, a Psychic Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.

'''Protect''' (Japanese: '''まもる''' ''Protect'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
===Generation II - III===
Protects the user from all effects of moves that target it during the turn it is used, including damage. This does not include damage afflicted by [[weather conditions]] it is susceptible to, or damage from [[status ailment]] that it obtained on a previous turn. Using Protect, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} consecutively decreases the chance of success by 50% each use, whether it is successful or not. Protect cannot prevent the effects of {{m|Perish Song}}.

===Generation IV - V===
Protect now has a 50% chance of success on the current turn if Protect, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Quick Guard}}, or {{m|Wide Guard}} was used successfully on the previous turn. Protect fails if the user [[priority|goes last]] in the turn.

The following moves cannot be stopped by Protect:

|}
|}

Additionally, Feint lifts Protect's protection for the rest of the turn.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]] {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, and {{a|No Guard}} give moves a <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code> chance to hit through Protect. {{m|Thunder}} during rain and {{m|Blizzard}} during hail have a 30% chance to hit. [[One-hit knockout move]]s always fail when Protect is successful, even if Lock-On, Mind Reader, or No Guard is in use.

=='Cute' Pokémon==

should we list some of the pokemon that seem to only be there to attr4act customers (eg. Pichu, Pachirisu etc) --[[User:Titan|TiT]][[User_Talk:Titan|An]] 18:16, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:That would be too opinionated. Some people might think that Probopass is cute, and want to add it to this list. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

== Why is Pachirisu novelty? ==

It has decent stats. I don't see why it's in here. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:05, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

:It's novelty because its stats are not competitive-reliable. A combination of Speed and Special Defense for an Electric Pokemon is weird. It does not have very high Special Attack, like most Electrics do. Its movepool is extremely shadowed, and its paper-thin regular Defense stat really hurts its butt. [[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] 03:20, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
::Those are all good reasons for why Pachirisu isn't viable competitively, but they don't make it a novelty (That's not intended as a slight at Timson622222, since the question did relate to stats). I really think the definition of novelty Pokémon needs to be tightened, before this page ends up listing every non-evolving Pokémon with poor stats. Pachirisu, Volbeat, Luvdisc and Sableye don't have any compelling reasons to be here. Even Farfetch'd is stretching things a bit, to be honest.[[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 21:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
:::So in your opinion, what IS a novelty Pokemon? Oh yeah, and Luvdisc is pathetic. [[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] 00:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
::::In my opinion? A Pokémon designed around a particular novelty or gimmick, in terms of in-game function. Thus you have Ditto, Kecleon, Castform, Unown, Smeargle and so on. Spinda's gimmick is purely cosmetic, but it probably qualifies too. Your opinion on the parameters may vary, but that's my understanding of the term.
::::Now, it's true that the article as currently written defines a novelty Pokémon as basically any non-evolving weak Pokémon with a shallow movepool. Firstly, this has never been my understanding of the term 'novelty Pokémon', and secondly, if we're going to use that definition then we might as well give up now, since what constitutes a weak Pokémon is highly subjective. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 11:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::Most Pokémon on that list have something unique. My opinion is that Sableye (unique type combination, so what? unique abilities, others have them too), Kecleon (again, unique abilities), Volbeat ([[Signature move]] is for that), Delibird (see the previous one), Luvdisc (unique held item, so what?) and Pachirisu (NOTHING special) do not belong here. Others have something notable to mention. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 11:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::I agree with Pachirisu being taken off. The page only puts Pachirisu there because of it being "weak" and the only other reason it gives is that it can learn Super Fang. By that definition Rattata should be on this list. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 11:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Additionally, the assumption that these Pokémon are "novelty Pokémon" means that the list may not be able to remain very consistent. After all, Pachirisu could be made infinitely more usable if given a stronger evolution. Ditto (not the Pokémon!) for Farfetch'd and Sableye, although I think Luvdisc's only real role being a source for Heart Scales, it's plenty appropriate on this list. Similarly, Volbeat and Illumise were basically made for the same reason as Plusle and Minun: to showcase the double battle system. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:There's a case to be made for Kecleon remaining, at least. Kecleon is built around its unique ability, whereas the same can't be said for Sableye, which only has Stall in 50% of cases. Back in Gen 1, Porygon's possession of two unique moves, one of them (Conversion) being rather quirky, might have put it in contention for this list too. Of course, if we're restricting this list to Pokémon with no evolutions, then it no longer qualifies.
:We need to decide which features define novelty Pokémon, and which are features that novelty Pokémon just usually have. The most contentious one, to my mind, is 'weakness'. Does a Pokémon have to be weak in order to qualify as a novelty, or is it just the case that most novelty Pokémon happen to be weak? You can make the case for either. The term 'novelty' does imply something that is entertaining but of limited practical use. On the other hand, Arceus is designed around the Multitype gimmick, and certainly isn't weak.
:I'm willing to be persuaded either way on this. I just think that we need some proper criteria for inclusion, be they strict or inclusive, because right now the article is very muddled. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 14:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

== Abra ==

Do you think Abra could be classed as a novelty Pokémon? Although it has useful evolutions, it is not particularly useful unevolved, except for Teleporting. And being able to teleport is a novelty! [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 22:00, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
:Pokemon that evolve arent novelty because they evolve. also, Abra can learn TMs, making it useful. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 22:11, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

== Illumise ==

Volbeat is classified here (and to be honest, I agree). However shouldn't that classify Illumise as one as well. I think that they, like Plusle and Minun, where added for the sake of double battles. --[[User:Hyurnat4|Hyurnat4]] 22:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

== Legitimacy of this page ==

Is it just me, or is this page really just a list of of Pokémon that people consider weak? Rather then ones with unusual gimmicks to them. It may need a rewrite to reflect this... [[User:PDL|PDL]] 04:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
:Agree with you on that one. Basically this page considers every small non-legendary Pokémon that can't evolve as novelty. I trained a Pachirisu before, and it's actually stronger than a Pikachu. Yet it's on this page and Pikachu isn't.

:I believed novelty Pokémon as ones that have something particularly unique about them (like the learn only one move or have different forms). But now it just means "weak" Pokémon. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

::::::Paras(ect) wasn't created for the sake of giving out mushrooms, it got that "attribute" in GSC, therefore it doesn't count.

::::::::Because a) They're heart-shaped, b) they debuted in the same gen as Heart Scales (unlike Paras which debuted a gen prior to the introduction of mushrooms as items), c) they're the main source of Heart Scales (the other source, the use of the Itemfinder, doesn't provide you with infinite scales), and d) providing with Heart Scales is the only thing they're good at? - [[User:Pokéman|Pokéman]] 04:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::That's all a matter of opinion. Unless you have words from the creator that they were only made for getting Heart Scales then it's speculations. And not every Luvdisc holds a Heart Scale.

:::::::::::"Providing Heart Scales is the only thing they're good at"
::::::::::: That's sounds like a biased statement. Unlike with Smeargle, they actually do more than just hold Heart Scales. They are compatible with many TMs and HMs and can learn a variety of different moves by leveling up.

::::::::::: Smeargle is an entirely different story. The only thing it can do is learn Sketch. It's painfully obvious that's its gimmick. It doesn't matter whether the move Sketch was first or not. Sketch is all Smeargle can do. Another difference between Smeargle.

::::::::::: And Luvdisc isn't exactly the main source of Heart Scales anymore. While that was the most effected way to get them in Generation III, You neglected to mention the mass amounts of Heart Scales found in the Underground in Sinnoh. It's a way more effective way of obtaining them. Of course, this doesn't do any good in HGSS, but Luvdisc can't be found at all in those game. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:58, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

its a fanon term, so its definition lies solely on the fans. for example, Pachirisu is useable, but most fans consider them a novelty because they are severely outclassed by other Pokemon that do the same job. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 07:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
:But there are a lot of fans HERE who are disputing which Pokémon on the list could truly be considered novelty.

Couldn't the list be revised in accordance with some of these (IMO) well thought-out and logical arguments?
:(I too have issues with some of the things on this list. Pachirisu is hardly just a novelty Pokémon, as it is one of the few Pokémon which can have the ability Pickup.

:::3 things, first off Scyther learns False Swipe naturally and is Flying-Type (Yes, i know what you meant XD). Second, why is Ditto on the list? I use him, and none of my friends can beat the whole 'can ''perfectly'' turn into your opponent's pokemon' thing, especially if you give it all around items like Wise Glasses or Muscle Band. Third, why is Shuckle here?! Seriously have you ever heard of Power Swap (Might be Power Trick, not sure right now), it gives it an IMMENSE offense... But yes i do agree some pokemon are just gimmicks and are of no real use, but some are just unusual and have a practical yet uncommon use.

Shuckle i admit is arguable, not because of Power Trick (which btw makes its defense 10 and leaves it completely open to death) but because it is a tank, which can be useable to some people.

I agree with Sableye and Farfetch'd not being her. In Sapphire, Sable was one of my team members, it kicked ass, in pkmn yellow my strongest poké was a traded in Farfetch'd.
Probably can be said the same for Luvdisc and Pachirisu as well (I think Pachirisu is here mainly because the previous gens' "Pikachu-clones" Minun and Plusle are here.)
There needs to be a set definite for what "gimmick" means, I mean hell, I used to think Lickitung was pretty gimmicky, with it's tongue and stuff (to much sushi caper in pokémon stadium lol)ZaphodBeeblebrox 15:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

== worthless ==

honestly this topic should be taken down the only pokemon that actually belong here are ditto and unown the rest of which have just as much use as any other especially smeargle and kecleon which is see used it high tier battles all the time to say smeargle is useless cause it can only learn sketch is pathetic since sketch can be any move you want it to be including a moveset such as spore,substitute,any stat enhancing move, baton pass and yes it is mentioned that it can baton pass moves that cant usually be done but that is a major thing allowing belly drum to be baton passed into already strong pokemon to make some of the most insane tanks

and with pachirisu not having an ability is better than it having slack off or some other hindering ability

plusle and minun dont have to be used in a duo at all alone that can be very useful and together they can be even better

luvdisc and burmy dont belong here yes they are weak but they are still useable

castform is really good especially if u have abomasnow kyogre or groudon in ur team or another weather inducing pokemon

sableye doesnt belong here ive seen it used multiple times especially with high priority moves

and i can keep going so honestly just take this page down

edit:7/22/10 yea and now lovedisc is evolving this category is crap remove this page {{unsigned|Ares5566}}
:Novelty does not mean useless. Please take the time to read the header section of the article, which clearly specifies that "novelty Pokémon" have unique or "gimmicky" characteristics. For reference, Luvdisc has not been confirmed to evolve yet.

== Shedinja ==

I think Shedinja would be a good addition to this article. Its unique evolution, signature ability, and lame stats make it a definite Pokémon to include here. I also agree with the removal of Pachirisu from this article.

--[[User:Earfone445|Earfone445]] 22:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

== Possible Additions ==

Some of these could be in the article, not sure if they all need to be there however;
*Abra (Something of a novelty due to its unique and only move Teleport, making it difficult to capture, was the only Pokemon aside from its evolutions to learn the move by level up)
*Voltorb/Electrode (Gen I-IV only, created as item mimics)
*Lickitung/Mr. Mime/Jynx (Gen I only, Much like Farfetch'd, they were only available through in game trades, unlike Farfetch'd and Lickitung who can be caught in the wild in Yellow, Jynx and Mr. Mime could not be obtained any other way except trading from Gen II))
*Eevee (Gen I only, created to showcase evolution by stone, was also the only Pokemon with a branched evolution)
*Togepi (Gen II only, given to the player in G/S to showcase the addition of Pokemon Eggs and Breeding)
*Feebas (Gen III & IV, only evolves by high beauty condition (trading too in Gen V) to showcase the addition of Contests and Contest Conditions, also has a unique capture method)
*Spiritomb (Unique capture method to showcase the Sinnoh Underground)
*Hippopotas/Hippowdon (created to showcase the addition of gender differences)
*Arceus (Unique form-changing ability)
*Hihidaruma (Unique form-changing Ability, albeit a hidden one)
:I would prefer some feedback before I add these, but please do not use the "This Pokemon evolves" excuse (which should actually be removed from the page), as Burmy evolves into Wormadam and Mothim, but is still a novelty as it showcases both the location-based evolutions and the gender-based evolutions.

We REALLY should get a definition on what constitutes as a "Novelty" before adding any Pokémon to the list.

My definition is this: A Pokémon that needs to rely on a certain straedgy to function in battle. Other attributes such as evolutions, strength, alternate formes or showing of a gameplay mechanic are optional, but if the Pokémon's whole purpose is to rely on that single straegdy and the player is unable to change this, that's what makes it a novelty.

I think it's a stretch to call Hippopotas and Hippowdon novelty Pokémon, because a) their gender differences being the greatest is extremely subjective (What about Wobbufett?

==Some of these Pokémon seem Unfitting==
The description of the page points out that the novelty Pokémon are mainly not very good in battle, have low stats, etc.. Some of the Pokémon that seem useful/unfitting to the supposed requirements that are on here include:
*Arceus - All it says is it has a unique ability (And it says it has the HIGHEST base stat total of any Pokémon, which is practically the opposite of a novelty Pokémon)
*Manaphy/Deoxys/Meloetta/Genesect - Legendary Pokémon aren't useless in battle - they have high bast stat totals.
*Darmanitan - The reason that they are novelty Pokémon just doesn't seem right. It is basically saying they are novelty Pokémon because they have interchangeable forms (which is getting common).
*Cherrim/Castform - They seem novelty for the exact same reason (except Castform has more forms) which makes them less unique.
*Rotom/Basculin - 4 abilities and six forms are more unique than novelty.

It just confuses me that these Pokémon are novelty, and yet Pachirisu and Farfetch'd, two practically useless Pokémon, aren't novelty... [[User:Swampert Man|Swampert Man]][[User talk:Swampert Man|''Swampert'']] [[Special:Contributions/Swampert Man|''is Awesome!'']] 18:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]], and in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its stats.

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

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokemon. It is widely considered to be unique, due to the fact that only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has many feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (some times blue when attacking) and two short ears.

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

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species, though in the anime it speaks with a male voice.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

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

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes thought to be powerful enough to destroy the planet. Mewtwo has also stated it can block a Pokémon's special abilities in battle.

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

===Habitat===

Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
Unknown.

==In the games==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}} whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled. The player will encounter it in [[Cerulean Cave]], which is unable to be accessed until after he or she has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==

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

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

===Minor appearances===
Mewtwo appears chasing a {{p|Mew}} during the opening of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

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

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

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

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

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

Due to its large body and light weight, Mewtwo is easy to knock off the stage. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, lacks any fast defensive options, and also has general problems with some of its other moves such as lengthy charging and ending lag.

To make up for this, out of all other playable Pokémon, Mewtwo is the strongest in terms of percent-racking; has a tail with longer reach than most other fighters' moves; has an excellent recovery; has some of the most powerful throws in the game; and, when charged, has the strongest projectile of all playable characters ({{m|Shadow Ball}}).

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

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

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way. Known existing data within the game include: a Classic mode "Congratulations" picture for Mewtwo; unused voice files and sound effects; and even an empty audio file for the Wiimote, whenever he would be selected on the playable roster. While there is a possibility that some of the data for Mewtwo was merely recycled from Melee, recent hacking has proven that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game, having the most scrapped in-game files than any of the other cut characters. Instead, Mewtwo appears as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty.

He was most likely replaced by Lucario, since he shares several similar moves with it.
====Trophy information====
A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks.

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

==Trivia==
* Though it comes before {{p|Mew}} in the Pokédex, it must have been found after Mew, due to the fact that it was cloned from Mew.
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}.
** Therefore Mewtwo has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon
* Mewtwo was initially the only Pokémon with a [[base stat]] total of 590 (increased to 680, due to the Special split, from [[Generation II]] onwards), at the time the highest in the game. It was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}}, and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* For unknown reasons, a {{shiny2}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* In the games, its birthday is February 6, as stated in a journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that is not a [[version mascot]].
* While widely regarded as the most powerful Pokémon, Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is incredibly weak, with only one damaging move, itself a [[physical move]], and three status moves that only affect stats, completely counter to Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in all previous games in which it was available, which featured {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Swift}}, and another status move. It is unknown why Mewtwo's level-up learnset was not altered between the Sinnoh games and the Johto games considering that this happened to both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, its equals in terms of stats, and also happened between the Hoenn games and the Kanto games for its own learnset. It, however, does learn {{m|Psychic}} after one level-up.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which would mark it first minor appearance in the anime, as well as implying that Bill knows about the creature.
* Mewtwo, though officially genderless like most legendary Pokémon, speaks with an unmistakably masculine voice when it communicates through telepathy. This is interesting, due to the fact that it originated basically as an enhaced clone of {{p|Mew}}, who, though it does not speak at any point through telepathy, seems to have a much more feminine sound to its cry.
*It is also interesting to note that, though intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves via tutors and TMs than {{p|Mew}}, shares few learned moves with it, has lower potential Pokéathlon stats in two respects with it, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense than it.
*Mewtwo and Rayquaza are the only Pokémon of their base stat total that do not have a [[signature move]].

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

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

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mewtu
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mewtwo
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뮤츠 ''Myucheu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 超夢 ''Chāo Mèng'' - Literally means "Ultimate dream". May also means "to surpass/transcend dreams".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Cantonese]]: 超夢夢

Swampert Man: /* Pokemon Heart Gold */

I am a user named Swampert Man. I'm pretty new here so I am a complete newbie about userpages on Bulbapedia. Well, I geuss I might as well list my teams...

== Pokemon Heart Gold ==
Currently, I have all 16 badges. But I have not beaten Red. He is too strong :(

=== Former Members ===
*Sentret - Level 11
**Long Story Short, I planned to use it but I needed a water type. It got replaced by a Poliwag (Now a Poliwrath)
*Geodude - Level 23
**Was a strong Rock Type, and it was good to have a ground type on my team too. However, there was a point where everything was super effective against it and it still had not evolved. Got relpalced by Heracross.
*Fearow - Level 31
**Was my Flying type for the game, and really got me through tough spots sometimes. I almost forgot about it and I needed to beat Clair, so a Swinub (now a Mamoswine) replaced it, but I still use it to fly.
*Poliwrath - Level 51
**Was my Water Type for the entire Game, and It beat Archer by itself. However, after I got 16 badges, I realized it was too slow, not enough Water-Power, and Heracross was a better fighting type. Got replaced by Kingdra.
*Gengar - Level 56
**Was in my Party before I beat the first Gym to the 16th one. It had lots of trouble with Psychic Types. Got Replaced by Absol.
*Absol - Level 55
**Was in my Party to resist Psychic Types, use against ghosts, and Counter those evil friggin' {{p|Alakazam}}s. I soon realized when it got to a high level that it was too slow. Got replaced by Togekiss.

>In the TCG, shiny Pokémon are called "shining" Pokémon.

Yes and no. There's "shining" cards, "crystal" cards, and the new ones that don't have a collecive name but are denoted by a star on them (so are commonly called "stars" or "shining stars")- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Blackjack Gabbiani|Blackjack Gabbiani]] ([[User talk:Blackjack Gabbiani|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Blackjack Gabbiani|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

:Crystal cards had the same Pokemon coloring as regular ones. "Shining" was the official name and i don't know why people use that crappy "shiny" word... --[[User:AtoMan|AtoMan]] 10:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

>If you evolve a shiny pokemon, will it stay shiny? [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 19:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, although sometimes the coloration of it will change. Shiny Charmeleon changes from off-red to a black Charizard, for instance. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It's the same as a red Charmeleon becoming an orange Charizard. Regular becomes regular, shiny becomes shiny. It's another status like the nature. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 00:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the {{p|Kecleon}} seen in [[EP205]] is not a shiny pokémon. To my knowledge an alternate colored Kecleon is turquoise not purple. -- {{u|Kenji-girl}}

: If it's not a normally-coloured Pokémon it must, logically, be an alternately-coloured Pokémon. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the precise alternate colouration of the games. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 10:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

::Technically, yes; "alternately colored" means, technically, it's simply a different color. "Shiny" is a different story, however. [[User:Urutapu|Urutapu]] 18:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:Those purple Kecleon are like that because... they're Kecleon, simple as it sounds. Not sure how to word it in the article, but it's not surprising that a chameleon Pokémon can have color variations, either because the interpretation of its traits is to blend with its surroundings (field Kecleon, pinball, anime) or changing its type via {{a|Color Change}}. This is too similar to discussing [[Smeargle (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries|the Crystal Pokédex entry for Smeargle]] --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:54, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

==Breeding chance in Gen IV==
Though I haven't found any definite sources, apparently the odds of breeding a shiny pokemon to have a shiny offspring is 1/8192, as much as finding a regular shiny. Is this true? If so, this renders Shiny dittos practically useless. [[User:Razor|Razor]] 07:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

: As useless as shiny Pokemon are regularly, but yes. It's the same odds as it would be with a regular Pokemon. --[[User:Porygon|Porygon]] 09:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

::Though really, a shiny Pokémon is no more useless than a regular one, since it's no longer determined on stats. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

the chances are exactly the same - its only in GSC that its a 1/64 of a shiny parents egg being shiny [[user: adambesthythe]]

== Shiny Pokemon ==

Would it be worth it if we put in a Section or even a whole new page that showed a normal Pokemon's sprite along with it's Shiny sprite image? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I think it is a good idea because it would be interesting to see.[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 10:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

== Include 4th Gen formulas? ==

I think this article should include the formulas for determining whether or not a pokemon is shiny from its MAP and OT IDs. Any objections? Also, the probability of obtaining a shiny in Gens 3/4 should be corrected to the correct value, 1/8192, not 2/65025. Where did that number come from, anyway?
--[[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 22:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:I think the second number is the chance that a Pokémon will contract Pokérus. :/ Good idea, by the way. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 19:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I think I've found the source of this ridiculous number, after a little bit of futzing. 256^2 is 65536, and the chance of encountering a shiny is 8/65536. However, 255^2 is 65025, and so it's possible that someone hit a wrong button on their calculator when trying to calculate chances. Unfortunately, I doubt that figuring any of this out is going to change the fact that a whole bunch of people are now misreporting the odds as 2/65025 simply by virtue of it previously being on Bulbapedia. Hopefully it'll die out soon.-- [[User:Reuvens|Reuvens]] 01:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

<strike>The chance is not 8/65536 (1/8192), but '''8 in 65536''', or '''8/(65536-8)''' (or 1/819'''1'''). That makes the chance 0.0001220852154804053% instead of 0.0001220703125%.</strike> Not much of a difference, but if such an insanely precise percentage is given, it should be accurate. Also the 2-10 isn't right, 8/65536 is 2-13. I'm correcting this both here and on [[Personality value]] --[[User:En-Cu-Kou|En-Cu-Kou]] 20:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

:Well if the chance of something is '''1 in 10''' it mathematically IS a 10% chance (which is 1/10. 1in10= 10%= 0.1= 1/10). <strike>You are saying that '''1 in 10''' is 1/(10-1) which simplifies into 1/9 (just like you said 1/(8192-1) simplifies to 1/8191) ) which is 10.11..% (1/9= 10.11..%= 0.11..). 10%≠10.11..%. So ''you'' are also saying that if something is a 1 in 3 chance it is a 1/(3-1) chance (which simplifies to 1/2, 1/2 is 50%--1/3 is 33.33%).</strike> If I have a jar with 3 different colored (red,pink,blue) marbles the chance of getting a pink is 1/3 (33.33%), blue is 1/3 (33.33%), and red is 1/3 (33.33%). All three percents add up to 100% and fractions add up 1 (3/3=1).<strike> If each was 50% like ''you'' were saying it would add up to 150% and 1.5 (3/2=1.5).</strike> And I was gonna round those decimal numbers on those pages, I just forgot. --[[User:Sivart345|Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 22:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
::<strike>Nobody agrees with me?</strike> Wow, I just realized that when I wrote the chance of shininess in the pages (before En-Cu-Kou changed them) that I ''did'' write 2-10 instead of 2-13 (even though I knew it was the latter one) (guess he was right in changing that).

== Shiny Egg? ==
If a shiny pokemon has an [[Pokémon egg|egg]], will the pokemon that hatches from the egg be shiny? [[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]]
:In Generation II, there was a sort of "gene" system where a shiny's offspring would more likely be shiny. However, Generation III got rid of that system. You have the same chances of finding a wild shiny as hatching a shiny, whether the parent was shiny or not.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 22:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

==It was the legendary Red Snorlax==
Look, I know Shiny Snorlax are blue, but the Snorlax in [[SS012|''Training Daze]]'' was the legendary Red Snorlax. It wasn't a real Snorlax, because it turns out in the end that the Snorlax was [[Viper]], the Drill Sergeant of the [[Team Rocket Academy]] in disguise.

== Mystery Dungeon Shinies ==

Rumor has it that you can get shinies in Mystery Dungeon 2... specifically, a shiny Celebi mission or something. Anybody have Time Version to back this up? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 21:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

==Fossils==
Can the revived fossils in Gen IV be shiny if you try enough? Or is it preset when you first give the guy the fossil? [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 01:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
:If by "try enough" you mean "give him enough fossils".

As well as using other non-explicit terms from the game such as [[Effort values]], Volume 2 of the Diamond & Pearl Prima guide mentions ''shiny Pokémon'' and even mentions the possibility of getting those Pokémon easily via the [[Poké Radar]].

== Question for G/S/C ==

...do you need a shiny Ditto to pass on shiny genes, or does it work for any shiny '''in Gold and Silver'''? Right now, I'm breeding a male Red Gyarados with a female Dratini, so I can get a shiny one, but halfway through riding on the bike through Route 34 and Goldenrod, I forgot whether shininess is only passed down through a Ditto, or any shiny. Bah! If someone could clear this up for me, it'd be appreciated!

:Hmmm... I think the shiny gene is passed through any shiny Pokémon. A shiny Ditto is widely used for breeding shinies because it can breed with anything. [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] 18:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
::Shinyness IS passed on thru anything in GSC. 1/64 chance if both parents are shiny, and 1/256 chance if one is shiny.

== question ==

i have a question
in gen IV, will every trainer see a shiny pokémon ssoner or later?
i had a green and blue tentacool once, but i erased my file
am i done for shiny pokémon?

idk but once i saw a shiny Girafarig once . and i also hatched a shiny happiny. from that happiny egg from the hiker and it was shiny, but once it evolved it was regular. has this ever happened before on pokémon game history, or is it my game, or is it a glitch????0.o

No, you aren't. It's just hard to find a shiny Pokémon. Remember that there is a very small chance of finding one. -Metagross72
:Math says yes.Out of every 65536 pokemon you see, at least 8 of the m should be shiny[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|DCM]]
:Shinies evolve into shinies. Maybe you just thought it was. Another thing could be due to the fact that Chansey and Blissey's shiny sprites aren't spectacularly different from the regulars. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

:::The personality value is a hidden value anyway; it's not the ''nature''. It determines it, like it determines gender, Wurmple's evolution, and so on. But they're all unrelated. Shininess is also determined by the Trainer's ID number, I believe. So there's likely very few possible gender/final form/nature combos for a shiny Wurmple.

== Breeding chance in Gen II ==

I noticed that it says there is as high as a 1/64 chance of breeding a shiny Pokémon in Gen II. I recently hatched 5 eggs in my Silver version. I used a shiny male Gyarados (from the Lake of Rage) and a female Dragonite. When all 5 eggs hatched I had 2 male and 3 female Dratini. The weird thing was that 2 females were shiny. If the chances are really 1/64 than the odds of that happening are about 1/430. With only 5 samples, its not enough info to say whether this was just luck or maybe our hypotheses about breeding need to be looked over. Any thoughts?

When is the shininess or nonshininess of a legendary decided? When you battle the legendary or before? i.e. if I battle a legendary, lose, turn off the game, whaever, and reload, would there be a chance of it being an alternate color the second time?

It really is not worth trying. Do you have any idea how long you would potentially have to play?

== Pokemon Stadium ==

This says they could have "slightly" different colors. xD That made me laugh. The color variations in Stadium and (especially) Stadium 2 could be anywhere from miniscule to OUTRAGEOUS. I swear on Tajiri's grave I had a female Nidoran (actually Spot, from the boy south of Cerulean) who throughout her life looked male on Stadium 2. As a Nidoqueen, this became far worse than ever before, as she became a perfect shade of Nidoking purple with the teal ears, and a lighter creamy pastel teal for her face/torso accents. x3 Spot was awesome, lol. Incidentally, as the same NidoranF could be obtained on any Red or Blue, I tried it with a couple different game paks and never got another with her colors.

Poliwag were another one that was awesome. Typically for me, their skin ranged from teal to bright purple, while their lips could be any color of the rainbow. xD I had two full boxes on Stadium 2 of stored Poliwag just seeing how many different ones I could find. x3 Man, good ol' Stadium, neh?

== Ho-Oh Error ==

"The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first Generation II Pokémon to be seen, a Ho-Oh seen by Ash in the first episode."

This sentence, from the way I read it, seems to claim that the first shiny Pokémon in the anime to match its alternate coloration in the games is the Ho-Oh in the first episode. Correction: Ho-Oh was covered entirely in a golden aura; We have no way of telling whether this is actually an alternate coloration or not. While one could argue that the colors we do see are not the same as its regular colors in-game, the depicted coloration isn't identical to its "official" shiny form either. It's just a Ho-Oh with a fully golden appearance due to the aura surrounding it. [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 03:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Now onto that little Toxicroak Debate.

==Toxicroak Debate==
There was a blue one in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
And no, it wasn't JUST the filter. It was the Toxicroak's coloration.
[http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/SRkid/Picture3.png]
If you look closely, it is blue.

::Ah, this isn't objective proof, however. If the Toxicroak was in a normal appearance, and not floating around under idle showcasing for points unknown, there could be an argument (but no, not really). Instead, I can point out that the color filter does make some of the pokémon look off-color. That Bibarel just before is practially ''rosy'' compared to its normal brown, and Bonsly is a faint gold-green instead of its normal brown (not that I'm saying Toxicroak is affected by this; the difference would have been slighter and not several shades removed). That, and there's no way of saying that neither production teams didn't take liberties: series folk made its normal form with the shiny variation, and movie folk either ignored that or didn't realize and used its normal colors as they should be.

::Again, this isn't proof. At all. You're looking for ordinary coloring in the series.

== Alternate coloration or shiny ==

Which is correct? Because by defenition, Alternate coloration means differently colored. Any Pokémon that's not it's original color should be in a page about '''DIFFERENTLY COLORED ''' Pokémon. Shiny is the unaverage coloration of a Pokémon in a Pokémon game, if im not mistaken.

== Shiny egg sent to a different game ==

If Shinyness it determined by personality value and trainer/secret ID what happens if you bred a shiny egg in one game, reset the game to before it hatched and traded to another game. The Pokémon will have a new OT so would the game recalculate it's shinyness based on the new trainer/secret ID or will it remember it was shiny in the other game and therefore hatch shiny? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 16:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:It recalculates, since the Shiny condition is determined by the {{tt|OT's|hatching Trainer's}} Trainer & Secret IDs, and then the personality value.

:Unlike most others, I might know the reason to this. While I don't know how it works in the Generation II games, I know how it works in the Gen III games, and it should hypothetically work in a similar way in the Gen II games. Anyways, due to the data structure in those games, a sprite can oly have accessibility to a certain, preprogrammed combination of 16 colors at a time. Due to this, there are over 1500 (!) combinations of colors possible, for each sprite, and also has the positions of their colors possible. While the data normally gives the Pokémon, upon first encounter, it gives them combination #596, the normal color, with a slight chance of combination #597, the alternate color, appearing. If the game is hacked or cheated to let a Pokémon of another combination appear it will, ofcourse, appear in that color. Hypothetically, it should work in a similar way in the Gen II games. If so, there's a possibility is that they added all thos colors to Stadium to prevent crashing the game if that Pokémon would be sent to it. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Pokémon Lover King Mario}} ([[User talk:Pokémon Lover King Mario|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pokémon Lover King Mario|contribs]]) ''

== Shiny ==

I have saw a shiny {{p|Sharpedo}} on the GTS before.Also,I caught a shiny {{p|Bidoof}},(I didn`t use Action Replay when i caught it).I have a big question,If I have a male shiny and a regular female,what would be the odds that the offspring is shiny.[[User:LucarioWolf|The Aura Wolf !!!!]] 12:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

== First gen. ==

I heard if you trade a Pokemon from a first generation game to a second generation game, or transfer a Pokemon from a first generation game to Stadium 2, they might appear as shiny. That's true, right, due to shininess being attributed to IVs? On an unrelated side note, Jigglypuffs "straw hat"..Isn't that Leaf's hat? I don't own Brawl, so I wouldn't know, but I heard it is.

Maybe we should just have a separate page for color variations that are in the anime that don't correspond to "shininess"? It's implied, IIRC, that pokemon come in a range of colors in the anime, such as the Orange Islands pokemon. [[User:Yamikuronue|Yamikuronue]] 15:33, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Red Gyarados

2010-06-28T03:00:44Z

Swampert Man: /* sprites */

Very few fans realize that the presence of the red Gyarados in the games is not caused by the induced evolution of the resident Magikarp. The anime intertwined the two events and used the connection as an excuse for the unusual coloring (the Magikarp retained its color upon evolving irregularly); the game dialogue never so much as hints at such a connection.

It is true that battling the red Gyarados triggers Lance's appearance, from which point the battle against Team Rocket ensues, eventually leading to the termination of the source of electromagnetic waves responsible for inducing evolution on Magikarp. However, that is the extent of it; the characters who actually reference the red Gyarados at Lake of Rage have nothing to do with the Team Rocket event.

Also of note is the fact that the report found in FireRed and LeafGreen pertains to plans of the electromagnetic waves incident; the news broadcast in Diamond and Pearl deals with the ''potential'' sighting of red Gyarados, not necessarily at Lake of Rage itself. Both of these are instances of a reference to Generation II events from different angles - plot continuity (FireRed and LeafGreen) and contemporary storylines (Diamond and Pearl).

It is incorrect to place Diamond and Pearl's beginning at the time of red Gyarados' appearance in Gold, Silver and Crystal. The news broadcast does not mention the appearance of the red Gyarados before a trainer in Johto, but rather pinpoints the Pokémon's background as being elusive and sought after. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Lake of Rage sighting takes place later on, possibly allowing for the Johto storyline to commence at the same time as that of Sinnoh. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 12:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

:Uhhh... I followed almost none of that but, in response to the last part it could just be a rumor of a gyrados or sun reflecting off one scales and such but you do make a point. (one that I couldn't follow)[[User:Crystallucario|CrystalLucario]] 13:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

:That's actually very good reasoning. I never gave it much attention that the Red Gyarados wasn't created by the forced evolution. However, the information from the start of D/P does definitely agree - the Red Gyarados could NOT have been created by the Rockets because s/he was a legend from before the Chôji Town incident. As for FR/LG, everything about the Sevii storyarc is building towards Johto, and those electromagnetic waves are simply another part of the process. In a way, the Red Gyarados serves as another sign that Gen II is coming back. Good discerning, Unown Lord! --[[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 14:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

== Better Sprite Proposal ==

Sorry for making a second section about the sprite, but it's a different problem technically.
The current image depicting the HGSS sprite is, in my opinion, unsatisfactory.
I had previously created a sprite with {{tt|much better quality|Again, in my opinion.}}.
http://PokeShinkon.webs.com/Games/HeartgoldSoulsilver/Images/RedGyaradosComparison.bmp

The current one has {{tt|many|I could point them all out for you.}} problems and mine stays pretty much close to the original image. I propose that we use mine (optional) for now until the official game sprite is released or until a better quality image comes along. My image alone is below.

http://pokeshinkon.webs.com/Games/HeartgoldSoulsilver/images/redgyarados.png

If this is acceptable, could somebody take my image and re-upload it onto the archives in place of the old one? [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 21:18, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

History of the Pokémon world

2010-06-28T02:47:43Z

Swampert Man: /* Contemporary history */

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]] as it is known to us today. Nobody knows if such legends are true or not, but there are many clues in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Below is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon game]]s since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

Please note that the below timeline is based of of speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|thumb|right|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}}. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]], retreating into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.
* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".
* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]]. Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The Red and Blue Orbs are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, Mew may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
*Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} move the continents, forming the regions, and at some point created {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the Adamant, Lustrous and Griseous Orbs before falling into a deep sleep.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil|fossils]] and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

* '''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''
** Earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] exist. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species.
** First humans appear in the Pokémon world.
** At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region.

* '''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''
** The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].

[[Image:Johto Anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Anime-based map of the Johto region]]
The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''ジョウト地方''' ''Jōto-chihō'') is a large area located west of [[Kanto]]. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. Though it is unlike Kanto in that its name is not directly based on that of a region of Japan, [[Junichi Masuda]] has come forward in his director's column naming the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都); this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 [[Pokémon]] that were not present in [[Generation I|previous games]]. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}, players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

==Geography==
The geography of Johto is much like that of Kanto. It is marked by a mountain range in the north and a vast sea to the south.

==Culture==
===History===
After Johto was created, alongside [[Kanto]], by {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} at the beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}, Pokémon no one had seen before began inhabiting the region. 1500 years before [[Generation I]], the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]] of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the English alphabet, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Approximately 700 years before Generation II, the twin [[Bell Tower|Bell]] and [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]s were constructed in [[Ecruteak City]], and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} perched at their tops. The two lived at the tops of the towers until, 550 years later, Brass Tower burned to the ground, killing three Pokémon trapped inside. Lugia fled to the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh, after resurrecting the Pokémon as the [[legendary beasts]] {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, flew off in search of a pure-hearted Trainer.

===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}

Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[berry]] crop in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==In Generation IV==
Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} much as [[Kanto]] returned in [[Generation III]]'s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, with its graphics boosted to the current level on the [[Nintendo DS]]. All areas from its Generation II iteration return, and several new areas are included, such as the [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], with new [[Route|Routes]] {{rtn|47}} and {{rtn|48}} leading to it. Like in Generation III Kanto, a special image of a landmark is shown briefly when it is entered. Other than this, Johto remains for the most part much the same as it was.

==Trivia==
*Johto is the only main region in which {{p|Pikachu}} is not found in the wild, though Pikachu are available in [[Generation II]] when the player travels to [[Kanto]] later in the game.
*It is the only region in which [[Ash Ketchum]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
*Johto is the only region without:
**a [[Cycling Road]]
**a Pokémon burial ground
**its own set of [[Fossil|fossil Pokémon]]
**its own [[Victory Road]]
**an autonomous [[Pokémon League]] (shared with Kanto)
**its own storage system developer (Bill also developed that of Kanto)
**its own villainous team (Team Rocket is shared with Kanto)
**prior to Generation IV, Johto was also the only region without a [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]].
*This lack is mostly due to the fact that Generation II is very dependent on [[Generation I]], and as the latter half of the game's storyline takes place in Kanto, there was no need to repeat many things.
*Johto is the only region where the first Gym doesn't specialize in {{type2|Rock}}s (likely due to Kanto's [[Brock]] doing so as there is no overlap in the two regions' Gyms). Despite this, Jasmine is said to have once used Rock-types.
*In Generation II and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the Dark-type and the Ground-type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous gym leader [[Giovanni]], had the Ground-type. However, when Giovanni left the gym after being defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]], he was replaced by [[Blue (game)|Blue]], who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground-type the only type to not have a [[gym leader]] or Elite Four member specialize in it in Johto and Kanto for Generation II and IV.
*Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[Faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
*Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land, and are likewise the only regions to add additional routes in their second appearances.
*Johto is the only main region in which the [[starter Pokémon]], throughout their evolutions, stay one [[type]] ([[Grass type|Grass]], [[Water type|Water]], and [[Fire type|Fire]]).

'''Gliscor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グライオン''' ''Glion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gligar}} when [[level]]ed up, at [[Time|night]], holding a [[Razor Fang]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gliscor are large, mainly bluish-purple vampire bat-like Pokémon. In evolution, the Gligar's leg-like claws have become more defined as legs, with two toes and a slightly darker circular coloration on the underside, and its tail now has two barbs, as opposed to Gligar's one, giving its tail the resemblance of vampire's fangs. Its arms are red with thin striations, and have also become completely detached from its wings, which are now black in coloration. It has similar looking pincers to {{p|Scizor}}. Gliscor’s ears now have discernible, red-colored and apparently chambered ear insides, and its eyes are yellow. Gliscor appears much toothier than Gligar, having six visible fangs in its mouth instead of two, and its waist, like its arms, is red and striated. Gliscor's body resembles an open mouth, with the pointed protrusions coming from its upper torso appearing to be fangs, further illustrating its vampiric qualities.

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

====Special abilities====
Gliscor's abilities are the same as {{P|Gligar}}'s, except Gliscor's attacks are more powerful and it can now learn the Elemental Fang attacks. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Gliscor can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

As shown in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', Gliscor, along with its unevolved form {{p|Gligar}}, can {{m|Screech|emit a sort of sound wave}} in order to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to {{wp|Animal echolocation|echolocation}}. However, their legs appear to be not suitable for walking and can only preform short hops when on the ground.

===Behavior===
Gliscor hang upside down while sleeping, much like other bat-like Pokémon. In addition to this Gliscor, unlike Gligar, are nocturnal. While Gligar eat during the day they glide back to the colony's nest at night so the Gliscor can go out and hunt.
Gliscor's wings cannot be flapped to the same extent that other Pokémon's wings can. Gliscor has to use winds and updrafts to glide from place to place. Therefore it is not technically "flying". When there is no wind, Gliscor climbs to the top of tall trees using its sharp raptorial claws and then glides from place to place. This practice is similar to flying squirrels and also to the flying frogs and snakes of the Amazon and Congo Rainforests.

===Habitat===
They are extremely rare, but sometimes are found in thick pine forests and swamps.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Gliscor.jpg|thumb|right|220px|{{AP|Gliscor}} in the anime]]
[[Paul]] caught a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''.

{{Ash}}'s {{p|Gligar}} evolved into a {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'' using {{Gary}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} to save Ash from falling into a canyon. Ash left Gliscor with [[McCann]] in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]'' so it could train and grow stronger.

A Gliscor was used by [[Theodore]] in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

Another Gliscor appeared in [[DP170]] under the ownership of [[Bertha]].

==Trivia==
* Gliscor and {{p|Gligar|its pre-evolution}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{2t|Ground|Flying}} [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]].
**Not counting abilities, Gliscor and {{p|Gligar}} are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have immunity to one of their own types. ({{t|Ground}} moves do nothing to {{type2|Flying}} moves.)
** Their type combination also makes them the only Flying-type Pokémon immune to the {{type2|Electric}}.
* Gliscor, along with its {{p|Gligar|pre-evolution}}, is one of the few Pokémon who can only learn [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] by TMs, egg moves and move tutor, not naturally.
* In the Pokémon franchise, {{wp|Animal echolocation|echolocation}} is often represented by the move {{m|Supersonic}}. As shown in the [[DP064|anime]], Gliscor and its unevolved form, {{p|Gligar}}, can {{m|Screech|emit sound waves}} to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to echolocation. Although neither can learn {{m|Supersonic}} as members of the {{p|Zubat}} evolutionary line can, both can learn {{m|Screech}}, another sound-based move.
* Gliscor is lighter than its {{p|Gligar|pre-evolution}}, weighing in at only 93.7 lbs, while Gligar is 142.9 lbs. Although this would suggest that when Gligar evolves it becomes better adapted for flight, this is not the case.
* Gliscor is one of ten non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
** On a side note, its Pokédex entry states that it can fly, and it also flies in the anime when Ash encounters one along with a pack of Gligar.
* Gliscor, along with {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, {{p|Gligar}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game|Emerald}}.
* Gliscor is one of only three Pokémon to have an exclamation point in one of its [[Pokédex]] entries. {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Torchic}} are the others, with the exclamation mark being in its Girafarig's Gold, LeafGreen, HeartGold and Stadium 2 entry, and in Torchic's HeartGold and SoulSilver entries.
** Coincidentally, all these Pokémon but Torchic have a unique type combination, and the first/only evolution originated in [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
It shares physical traits with {{wp|bat}}s, {{wp|gargoyle}}s, {{wp|scorpion}}s and {{wp|vampire}}s. It is likely based on the {{wp|scorpionfly}}.
====Name origin====
Gliscor's name comes from the words ''glide'' and ''scorpion''.

''Glion'' is also derived from the same two words, taking the "ion" from ''scorpion'' instead of the "scor".

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Skorgro - From ''Skorpion'' and ''groß'' (big).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Scorvol - From ''scorpion'' and ''vol'' (flight).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 글라이온 ''Glyon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 天蠍王 ''Tiān Xiē Wáng'' - Literally "Sky scorpion king".

'''Kingler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キングラー''' ''Kingler'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Krabby}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kingler is a large crab-like Pokémon. Its claws and upper half of its body are reddish-orange with the four legs and lower body being cream-colored. Its left claw is particularly larger than the right one.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Kingler's left pincer boasts 10,000 horsepower of crushing force, but its massive weight makes it difficult for Kingler to aim with.

Since Kingler is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
It waves this huge claw in the air to communicate with others. However, because the claw is so heavy, the Pokémon quickly tires.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
It can be presumed that, like its pre-evolution, Kingler live in beaches. It is found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Kingler mainly eat {{p|Shellder}} and possibly other species of mollusk Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash kingler.png|210px|right|thumb|{{AP|Kingler}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Kingler]]====
{{Ash}}'s {{p|Krabby}} evolved into a Kingler in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', during Ash's first round battle in the [[Indigo League]].

====Other====
Kingler's first major role was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', under the ownership of [[Giovanni]]. He used it in his Gym battle against {{Gary}}'s {{p|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Giovanni's Kingler was defeated by Gary's Arcanine. Giovanni had loaned his Kingler to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} when he put them in charge of the [[Viridian Gym]] while he was out.

===Minor appearances===
Kingler first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' as one of the {{DL|Gym|Kas Gym}}'s Pokémon.

A Kingler appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Kingler's left claw is always the larger of the two, except in [[Generation I]] and its early artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], where this is reversed.
* Kingler shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Scizor}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both Kingler and Scizor have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130.
* Kingler and its pre-evolution {{p|Krabby}} are two of the four [[Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Crabhammer}} by level up. {{p|Corphish}} and {{p|Crawdaunt}} are the other two.

===Origin===
Kingler is very similar to a {{wp|fiddler crab}}, or may be based on the {{wp|land crab}}, which both usually have one claw larger than the other, like Kingler does.
====Name origin====
Kingler's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|King crab|king}}'' and ''{{wp|Fiddler crab|fiddler}}'' - both species of {{wp|crab}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kingler
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Krabboss - From ''crabe'' (crab) and ''boss''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 킹크랩 ''Kingkeuraep'' - A combination of transliterations of ''king'' and ''crab''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨鉗蟹 ''Jù Qián Xiè'' - "Giant Pincers Crab". The character 巨 means huge or gigantic, as opposed to 大 (big) in Krabby's Chinese name, 大鉗蟹.

==Trivia==
* Interestingly, Aurora Beam is an almost exclusive move for [[Water-type]] Pokémon even though it is an [[Ice-type]] move. Apart from {{p|Smeargle}}, the only non-Water type Pokémon that are capable of learning the move by any means are {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
* It is commonly mistaken as the [[signature moves|signature move]] of {{p|Suicune}}, but is learned by many other Pokémon.

Performance

2010-06-01T19:34:02Z

Swampert Man: /* Stats */

[[File:Pokéthlon stats.png|thumb|A {{p|Quilava}}'s Performance|400px]]
A Pokémon's '''performance''' (Japanese: '''パフォーマンス''' ''performance'') is made up of stats that exist for use in the [[Pokéathlon]]. There are five different performance stats; Speed, Skill, Jump, Power, and Stamina.

Each Pokémon has a different base performance, not unlike [[stats]], although a Pokémon does not start with its maximized performance. Instead, Performance can be improved by feeding the Pokémon Apricorn juice, which are made with an [[Apriblender]].

==Stats==
===Speed===
'''Speed''' is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving any sort of racing. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Speed stat. It is not to be confused with the Speed stat used in [[Pokémon battle]]s, which is すばやさ in Japanese (whereas this is スピード). Abilities that benifit the Pokémon's Speed Stat benifits its Speed. Speed is used in Hurdle Dash, Relay Run, Circle Push, Ring Drop, Disc Catch, Goal Roll, and Pennant Capture.

===Power===
'''Power''' is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon game involving fighting or the usage of physical force. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Power stat. Abilities that benifit the Pokémon's Attack Stat benifits its Power. The Power Performance stat is the most commonly used stat in the Pokéathlon, being used in every event with the exception of Hurdle Dash.

===Skill===
'''Skill''' is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving strategy. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Skill stat. Abilites that benifit the Pokémon's Special Defense Stat benefits its Skill. Skill is used in Lamp Jump, Snow Throw, Pennant Capture, Hurdle Dash, Relay Run, Block Break, and Goal Roll.

===Jump===
As the name implies, '''Jump''' is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving jumping. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Jump stat. Abilities that benifit the Pokémon's Special Attack Stat benifits its Jump. Jump is the least commonly used stat in the Pokéathlon, being used only in Hurdle Dash, Ring Drop, Lamp Jump, and Disc Catch.

===Stamina===
'''Stamina''' is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving a risk of fatigue. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Stamina stat. Abilities that benifit the Pokémon's Defense Stat benefits its Stamina. Stamina is used in Ring Drop, Snow Throw, Relay Run, Block Break, Lamp Jump, Circle Push, Goal Roll, and Pennant Capture.

==Daily Pokéathlon performance stat changes==
Every day two of a Pokémon's Pokéathlon performance values can change according to the Pokémon's daily condition. Which stats change and to what degree are based on the Pokémon's [[nature]]. Below is a list of the natures, which performance they effect and to what degree possible the stats can fluctuate. Each value below is the highest extent to which each performance stat can improve or be hindered.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Sunkern}} has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total, while ironically sporting the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon. It shares its Performance stats with {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]], and {{p|Arceus}}. However, this could have been implemented to compensate for its low stats.
*Every event in the Pokéathlon requires either three or four Performance stats.

Human-Like (Egg Group)

2010-05-27T11:01:34Z

Swampert Man: /* Trivia */

{{EggGroups}}
The '''Humanshape egg group''' (Japanese: '''ひとがた''' ''Human-shaped'') is one of the sixteen [[egg groups]].

==Characteristics==
Pokémon in this egg group, as the name implies, have similar characteristics to humans. They are fully bipedal, standing and walking on two legs. They also possess arms with which they could manipulate objects or deliver blows.

It's also worth noting that several families that belong to this egg group have received a [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]], either in a later generation or, in the case of {{p|Lucario}}, at the same time. There are also several families that are predominently male.

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slaking are large, bulky, ape-like Pokémon. Most of their fur is brown in coloration, along with the ring patterning encircling their eyes, but their face, chest, hands and feet are lighter in color. Their brows are thick and jutting. Slaking have a white collar of fur around their necks, extending towards the top of their head in a small tuft, somewhat resembling a bonnet. Slaking also have a pink, pig like nose.

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

====Special abilities====
While this Pokémon doesn't appear to do much most of the time, it has immense physical strength, stamina and surprisingly enough, speed. Much like other Normal-types, it can be taught quite a number of elemental attacks.

===Behavior===
Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
[[File:Norman's Slaking.png|right|thumb|210px|Norman and his Slaking]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead of just climbing up and picking them.

==In the anime==
{{TP|Norman|Slaking}} made its debut appearance in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} defeated it in battle, winning Ash the {{badge|Balance}}.

A giant Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.

==Trivia==
*Slaking has the third highest base attack of any Pokémon in any game. It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]].
*Slaking has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary Pokémon, tied with the legendary Pokémon {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}.
*Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it gains a higher speed stat upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}} (Although Vigoroth does not have Truant).
*In double battles, Slaking's Truant ability can easily be nullified using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.
*Slaking is commonly mistaken as a [[Pseudo-legendary|Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon]] because of its incredibly high base stats, however it isn't one because it doesn't have a base stat total of 600 and lacks having two different types.
*In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, Norman has two Slaking, one at Lv.28 and another at Lv.31. This is technically impossible, as Vigoroth evolves into Slaking at Lv.36. The problem still remains in Pokémon Emerald, but Norman only has one Slaking, at Lv.31.

===Origin===
It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Megatherium}}, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a {{wp|gorilla}}.
====Name origin====
Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king''. It may also be a play on the word ''slacking''.

''Kekking'' is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 請假王 ''Qǐng Jià Wáng'' - 請假 (to request for a leave of absence) may come from the Japanese 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence), which can be found in its Japanese name Kekking. The last character means king.

'''Togekiss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲキッス''' ''Togekiss'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Togekiss is a white Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. Togekiss has triangle-shaped wings and lacks the stubby arms that its pre-evolutions had. Its underbelly is dotted with little red and blue triangle-shaped spots, which are signature of the Togepi evolution family. Togekiss has two feet that are close to each other. The former spikes on its head are now a three-pointed crest that has the left spike tipped in blue and the right spike tipped in red (the reverse is true for its {{shiny2}} form).
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
As of Generation IV, Togekiss is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} naturally, the other non-legendaries being {{P|Noctowl}} and {{P|Altaria}}.

It is also able to wield {{m|Aura Sphere}} and one of only two non-legendary Pokémon are able to learn it. The other is {{p|Lucario}}.

===Behavior===
Togekiss avoid conflict, never appearing where strife is occurring. It shares blessings with those who love another. They will protect their young, {{p|Togepi}}, with miraculous care.

===Habitat===
Togekiss are so vastly rare that many trainers do not bother trying to find one. Instead, most trainers prefer evolving their Togetic into a Togekiss with a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DawnTogekiss.png‎|thumb|right|250px|Togekiss in the anime.]]
Togekiss makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

{{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} made its anime debut in [[DP171]], where {{an|Dawn}} got it from [[Princess Salvia]].

==In the manga==
[[Arcade Star Dahlia]] has a Togekiss in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. {{adv|Platinum}} uses it when she and Dahlia swap Pokémon during Platinum's Battle Arcade campaign under the condition of "Pokémon Swap".

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

==Trivia==
* Togekiss's weight is equal to that of {{ga|Lucas}}, as well as four Pokémon; {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Fearow}}, and {{p|Yanma}}. Togekiss is also, ironically, the same hieght as Lucas as well.
* Togekiss has the third highest [[Base stats|base stat total]] of any non-[[legendary]] and non-[[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon at 545 points. It is only surpassed by {{p|Arcanine}} (555) and {{p|Slaking}} (670).
* Togekiss has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-legendary {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Togekiss is one of only two non-legendary Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Aura Sphere}}, the other being {{p|Lucario}}.
** Togekiss is also the only Pokémon that learns Aura Sphere at the start.
** Also, Togekiss and Lucario are two of the only five non-legendary Pokémon capable of learning {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, the others being {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}.
* Togekiss can learn {{m|Drain Punch}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} despite not having any visible hands. However, it did have hands before evolving.
* Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Togekiss can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types. It can't learn any damaging {{t|Poison}}- or {{type2|Ice}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Toxic}}.
* Togekiss is the only Pokémon to have evolved by using an [[evolutionary stone]] that doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution.
* Togekiss and its pre-evolution are the only Normal/Flying Pokémon capable of learning an {{type|Electric}} move.

===Origin===
Togekiss's design appears to draw inspiration from fairies and birds, possibly {{wp|dove}}s.

====Name origin====
Its name is based on 刺 ''toge'', spike, and the English word ''kiss''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Togekiss
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Togekiss
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 토게키스 ''Togekiss''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 波克基斯 ''Bō Kè Jī Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. Contains the word 波 which may refer to its pre-evolutionary forms' Chinese name, '''波'''克比 ''Bō Kè Bĭ'' ({{p|Togepi}}) and '''波'''剋基古 ''Bō Kè Jī Gŭ'' ({{p|Togetic}}). 波 may also be from 波導 ([[Aura]]), referring to its ability to use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

'''Rock Smash''' (Japanese: '''いわくだき''' ''Rock Smash'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} move introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was TM08 when it was introduced, and became HM06 in [[Generation III]], as its use became essential for completing the game.

==Effect==
===Generation II and III===
====In battle====
The move damages the target and has a 50% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Defense}}.

Rock Smash has a base power of 20.

====[[Image:Rock Smash.png]] Outside of battle====
[[Image:Rock_Smash_HM_Lucas.jpg|none|thumb|240px|'''Rock Smash''' in the game]]

Smashes rocks to clear the path, potentially finds Pokémon inside (usually {{p|Geodude}}).

===Generation IV===
====In battle====
Same as before, but with a base power of 40 [[List of moves that changed in attack power|instead]].

====Outside of battle====
Same as before, but Pokémon no longer appear (in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only).

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scales}}, [[shard]]s, [[fossil]]s, and some Pokémon can be found underneath certain rocks.

===Mystery Dungeon===
Turns a wall tile in front of the user into a floor tile, revealing any item hidden within it. Has 99 PP but cannot target enemies.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Rock Smash in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Rock Smash is Charizard's Side Special move. Unlike the Pokémon games, Rock Smash is a move with high damage and knockback and can potentially KO a foe in one hit.

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Feraligatr are big, bulky, bipedal crocodilian Pokémon, primarily blue in coloration with accentuations of red and yellow. In aspects of coloration, Feraligatr much resembles its preevolution {{P|Croconaw}} with the exception of the vanished ‘animal skin’ pattern. What is probably Feraligatr’s most notable feature, battle-wise, are its large, powerful toothy jaws which are able to cause heavy damage. Three teeth are visible when Feraligatr closes its mouth, two from the lower jaw and one from the upper. Feraligatr has three sets of spikes on its body, which differ in shape from those of Croconaw’s as all of them possess three prongs. The one on its back appears particularly prominent, due to its size and the bulk of Feraligatr’s shoulders. The bisected, V-shaped yellow pattern Feraligatr possessed as a Totodile has reappeared, except being on the lower portion of its body and between its thighs instead of the arms. Feraligatr also have large scales on their arms, tails, and legs, the latter of which give the appearance of pockets. A differing feature of Feraligatr in comparison to its pre-evolutions is that its irises are yellow instead of red and that all its digits have nails.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Along with the usual {{type2|Water}} abilities, Feraligatr's jaws have the ability to lock in place like its pre-evolutions. In combination with their large muscle power, this ability makes them extremely fearsome and brutal.

===Behavior===

Feraligatr are more used to swimming than to walking on land. When this Pokémon does venture out of water, it crawls on all fours in order to move faster, it has a hard time standing on its hind legs as a result of being big. However, when they are hunting or fighting, they are surprisingly agile and fast, due to their powerful hind legs that are used to kick the ground hard and charge. The fact that Feraligatr are cold-blooded Pokémon means that they need to be where they can adjust their body temperatures accordingly. Feraligatr intimidates its foes by opening its huge mouth, although it lacks the actual ability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feraligatr are extremely rare in the wild. They live near water with the rest of their [[evolution]] family.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It goes at blinding speed when it attacks and bites its prey. When it bites with its massive and powerful jaws, it shakes its head and savagely tears its victim up.

==Trivia==
* Feraligatr is the tallest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]], at 7 feet and 7 inches (2.3 meters).
** Feraligatr is also the starter that reaches its final form the earliest, doing so at level 30. Coincidentally, {{p|Totodile}} evolves into its secondary form, {{p|Croconaw}}, at level 18, the latest of any starter Pokémon, tied with {{p|Turtwig}} into {{p|Grotle}}.
*** Feraligatr is also the heaviest fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starter.
* The lack of a vowel between the T and R in Feraligatr is due to the ten character limit on Pokémon names, which also affects {{p|Victreebel}}.
* Feraligatr is the only Pokémon to have more than four syllables in its name, with five.
* Feraligatr shares the same base stats with [[Blastoise]], just in a different order.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, Feraligatr is a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. Appearance-wise, it's an {{wp|alligator}}.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr draws its name from a combination of ''feral'' (or possibly ''ferocious'') and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. Its Japanese name may contain 王 ''ō'', king, 皇 ''ō'', emperor, or 大 ''ō'', large, and ''dile'' is a reference to {{wp|crocodile}}s.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Impergator - Combination of ''imperial'' and ''alligator''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Aligatueur - From ''alligator'' and ''tueur'' (killer).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 장크로다일 ''Jangkeurodail''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 大力鱷 ''Dà Lì È'' - "Energetic {{wp|crocodilian}}".

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This Pokémon resembles an upside-down [[Poké Ball]]. For this reason, many trainers try to pick it up in the [[Power Plant]], mistaking it for an item. Interestingly, whereas its pre-evolution form resembles a conventional [[Poké Ball]] in both shape and color, this Pokémon has its colors reversed (the red being on the bottom and white on top), and has a mouth.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

====Special abilities====
The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. If agitated, it may randomly {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Electrode tend to live in power plants where fresh electricity is being generated. As a result, this Pokémon often causes blackouts. Electrode {{m|Explosion|explodes}} in response to even the smallest stimuli. It is known to explode when bored just to entertain itself.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Electrode live in power plants. They may occasionally be found in other buildings, where they provide power for operational purposes. They are also found on farms guarding the crops and fruit there, and are usually painted the same color as the fruits they guard. They are quite rare, but have been encountered in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Electrode feeds off electricity in the atmosphere. It explodes when it eats too much electricity.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP114.png|thumb|right|A field of Electrode in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Electrode's first major role was during ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. A town was over-populated with these Bomb-Ball Pokémon and a man named {{Oi|Poncho}} had a job of removing them.

In ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', an Electrode that was painted like a {{wp|watermelon}} was guarding a patch of [[Watmel Berry|Watmel Berries]].

===Minor appearances===
Electrode's first appearance was during ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]''. It was used in a Pokémon Race.

When [[Team Rocket]] was trying to infiltrate [[Professor Oak]]'s lab in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké Corral]]'', they fell into a pit of Electrode.

In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', an Electrode's explosion signaled the start of a swimming race between [[Ash's Squirtle]] and a {{p|Marill}}.

An Electrode has also been owned by [[Danny]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]].

In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', {{an|Spoink}} thought that an Electrode was a pearl. When the group tried to take it off its head, it {{m|Explosion|exploded}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally and indirectly caused an Electrode to fall and explode on a bus that a Poké-sitter was driving.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Animedexheader|Orange}}
{{Animedexbody|EP114|Electrode|Ash's Pokédex|Electrode, the evolved form of Voltorb. Highly concentrated electric energy causes this Pokémon to {{m|Explosion|explode}} unpredictably. Also known as the Bomb-ball.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Electrode makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. Lt. Surge also possesses a cannon capable of firing Electrode at high speeds to attack, supplied by Team Rocket technology. Since the disbandment of [[Team Rocket]] at the end of {{PAV|7}}, Lt. Surge is technically no longer a member, and it is unconfirmed if he still possesses the weaponry.

The Team Rocket grunts use a Voltorb and an Electrode to attack {{adv|Yellow}} in the volume with the S.S. Anne. 

[[Eusine]], as seen in {{PAV|10}}, possesses an Electrode as well, allowing him to travel over large distances by riding it. Eusine's Electrode apparently uses {{m|Magnet Rise|electric charges}} to suspend itself in mid-air.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:ElectrodeBrawl.jpg|right|thumb|An Electrode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] that failed to {{m|Explosion|explode}}]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in Brawl in much the same way as in Melee, however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds.

====Melee trophy information====
Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Electrode had the highest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon. It was surpassed by {{p|Ninjask}} and all formes of {{p|Deoxys}} except the Defense Forme. However, it still has the highest base Speed of all Electric-type Pokémon.
* In Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, players can obtain an Electrode at a level as low as 3 by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]], evolving it, and [[List of in-game trades|trading]] it to an old man on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* Electrode has a [[Oh Electrode|short song]] dedicated to it, which is sung by [[Suzukisan]].
* Like Voltorb, some [[Poké Ball]] items in the [[Power Plant]] turn out to be Electrode. Electrode is nearly three times the size of Voltorb, which was already much bigger than the average baseball-sized Poké Ball, meaning this mix-up would be technically impossible.
* Despite being an Electric-type, Electrode, and its pre-evolution Voltorb, did not learn any Electric-type moves via level-up until Generation III.

===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]], and is often mistaken for one. Also, based off its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to land mines.

====Name origin====
An {{wp|electrode}} is a device through which electrical current passes. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 丸 ''maru'', circle, and ''{{wp|mine}}'', as in {{wp|landmine}}. It could also mean the word "electric" and "explode" put together

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This Pokémon resembles an upside-down [[Poké Ball]]. For this reason, many trainers try to pick it up in the [[Power Plant]], mistaking it for an item. Interestingly, whereas its pre-evolution form resembles a conventional [[Poké Ball]] in both shape and color, this Pokémon has its colors reversed (the red being on the bottom and white on top), and has a mouth.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

====Special abilities====
The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. If agitated, it may randomly {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

===Behavior===
Electrode tend to live in power plants where fresh electricity is being generated. As a result, this Pokémon often causes blackouts. Electrode {{m|Explosion|explodes}} in response to even the smallest stimuli. It is known to explode when bored just to entertain itself.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Electrode live in power plants. They may occasionally be found in other buildings, where they provide power for operational purposes. They are also found on farms guarding the crops and fruit there, and are usually painted the same color as the fruits they guard. They are quite rare, but have been encountered in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Electrode feeds off electricity in the atmosphere. It explodes when it eats too much electricity.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP114.png|thumb|right|A field of Electrode in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Electrode's first major role was during ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. A town was over-populated with these Bomb-Ball Pokémon and a man named {{Oi|Poncho}} had a job of removing them.

In ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', an Electrode that was painted like a {{wp|watermelon}} was guarding a patch of [[Watmel Berry|Watmel Berries]].

===Minor appearances===
Electrode's first appearance was during ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]''. It was used in a Pokémon Race.

When [[Team Rocket]] was trying to infiltrate [[Professor Oak]]'s lab in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké Corral]]'', they fell into a pit of Electrode.

In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', an Electrode's explosion signaled the start of a swimming race between [[Ash's Squirtle]] and a {{p|Marill}}.

An Electrode has also been owned by [[Danny]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]].

In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', {{an|Spoink}} thought that an Electrode was a pearl. When the group tried to take it off its head, it {{m|Explosion|exploded}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally and indirectly caused an Electrode to fall and explode on a bus that a Poké-sitter was driving.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Animedexheader|Orange}}
{{Animedexbody|EP114|Electrode|Ash's Pokédex|Electrode, the evolved form of Voltorb. Highly concentrated electric energy causes this Pokémon to {{m|Explosion|explode}} unpredictably. Also known as the Bomb-ball.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Electrode makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. Lt. Surge also possesses a cannon capable of firing Electrode at high speeds to attack, supplied by Team Rocket technology. Since the disbandment of [[Team Rocket]] at the end of {{PAV|7}}, Lt. Surge is technically no longer a member, and it is unconfirmed if he still possesses the weaponry.

The Team Rocket grunts use a Voltorb and an Electrode to attack {{adv|Yellow}} in the volume with the S.S. Anne. 

[[Eusine]], as seen in {{PAV|10}}, possesses an Electrode as well, allowing him to travel over large distances by riding it. Eusine's Electrode apparently uses {{m|Magnet Rise|electric charges}} to suspend itself in mid-air.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:ElectrodeBrawl.jpg|right|thumb|An Electrode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] that failed to {{m|Explosion|explode}}]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in Brawl in much the same way as in Melee, however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds.

====Melee trophy information====
Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smeargle are beagle-like, bipedal white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a long tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush oozes with paint, and the color of the paint is apparently different for each Smeargle. Although sprites from the game depict green, brown and red, the anime also shows yellow and blue. It's been implied that each Smeargle has a different colored tail.

Smeargle has a footprint on his back that has the same color as the tail-tip. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a beret in shape, with floppy, brown colored ears and a brown colored ‘collar’ on its neck. The rings encircling Smeargle’s eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle’s eyelids. Smeargle’s arms have two brown bands, and its legs only one, and each of the limbs have three digits, the fingers apparently being dexterous.

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

====Special abilities====
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn nearly ''any'' move '''permanently''' thanks to its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}.

===Behavior===
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. One can always tell when a Smeargle's territory is found because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP197.png|right|thumb|200px|Three Smeargle in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', a trio of Smeargle were vandalizing [[Whitestone]].

===Minor appearances===
Smeargle first appeared in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'' as part of the [[Pichu Brothers]] Posse.

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

A Smeargle was seen working in a nail salon in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]''.

==Trivia==
* Smeargle is the only non-legendary, non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Smeargle is also the only non-starter Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and the only one able to legally know them all.
* Since Sketch lets Smeargle learn any move but {{m|Chatter}}, it can pass down egg move combinations to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* Paradoxically, Smeargle is simultaneously the Pokémon with the smallest movepool (learning only one move ever, which ties it with {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}) and the Pokémon with the largest movepool (using that move to "learn" almost any other move).
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move more than twice - some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* It is possible for Smeargle to have both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}, provided the right moves have been Sketched. One is by simply using it to the non-{{type2|Ghost}} effect of Curse. The other is by using either {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, or (starting in [[Generation III]]) a {{m|Skill Swap}}ped or {{m|Role Play}}ed {{a|Color Change}} to change its type to Ghost and have the Ghost effect of Curse. In Generation II, it shared this trait with {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon2}}, who could learn Curse via [[TM03]]; starting with Generation III, Smeargle is the only Pokémon that can do the strategy it once shared with Porygon and Porygon2 legally.
* Initially, the normal sprite of Smeargle featured a tail tipped with red paint, while the shiny form had green paint; this was changed in later generations, reversing the colors. Smeargle's art has always featured a green-tipped tail, however.
** In the anime, Smeargle have been seen with different colored-tipped tails.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is there, even in the scene where he refuses to get one.
===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

==== Name origin ====
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''.

''Doble'' may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered. It also sounds like "double", perhaps referencing Smeargle's ability to copy opponent's techniques.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Farbeagle - From ''Farbe'' (color) and ''beagle''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Queulorior - From ''queue'' (tail) and ''colorier'' (color).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 루브도 ''Rubeuto''

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than his {{stat|Attack}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue|Tyrogue's}} three final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. His body resembles a light purple tunic with a skirt and fists resemble red boxing gloves. His enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads. His purple feet give the appearance of a pair of a {{wp|boxer}} shoes. Unlike his parallel evolution, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, he has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head.
====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is his wide versatility in boxing--his major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect his fists.

Hitmonchan are well-known for their capability of {{m|Mach Punch|lightning-fast punches}}, faster than bullet trains, that are impossible to be seen by the naked human eye. When doing this, it sometimes appears as if Hitmonchan is standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well-developed talent in quick, light blows, Hitmonchan can also throw power-packed punches. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill.

Before making contact with a target, Hitmonchan will spin his arms to increase the power of his attacks. Both his speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing him to work harder, he never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, he usually needs a short break after each fight he takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they aren't normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s influence. When under the possession of a Trainer, however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; he may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or he might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. He is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo. While it is unknown where they came from originally, they were first found in [[Kanto]].

Hitmonchan's first appearance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a Trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. He was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]] because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between him and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', one was part of a group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', he was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] Trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', one was owned by an obnoxious Trainer that used him to attack a beached {{AP|Lapras}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside him to break a rolling boulder. He later used Hitmonchan in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A Trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

==Trivia==
* Besides {{p|Smeargle}}, Hitmonchan learns the most increased-priority moves by level up out of all Pokémon, with three of the seven.
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Hitmonchan's colors reference the traditional boxing colors, referring to the red corner (normal) and the blue corner (shiny).
* Hitmonchan is also the only evolution of Tyrogue to focus primarily on punching, with Hitmonlee and Hitmontop focusing more on kicking.
===Origin===
He may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching. His head and "hair" slightly resembles a human hand.
====Name origin====
Hitmonchan's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Chan'' - as in {{wp|Jackie Chan}}; perhaps meaning "The monster that hits like Jackie Chan". His name is similar to his two parallel evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. His Japanese name is derived from the name of Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nockchan - Likely from ''knock'' and ''Chan'', as in Jackie.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tygnon - ''Ty'' is for {{wp|Mike Tyson}}, and ''gnon'' (thump).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 홍수몬 ''Hongsumon''

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

2010-05-19T21:37:47Z

Swampert Man: /* Concept */

[[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}?]]

'''Pokémon Trainer's Choice''' is a feature from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Starting from ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', ''Trainer's Choice'' was the lead-in to the mid-show advertisement break. It replaced the [[original series]]'s ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''. It was not used in the original Japanese version of the anime; instead a simple {{wp|eyecatch}} was shown. The final ''Trainer's Choice'' aired with ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]''. It was not replaced with a similar feature.

==Concept==
Trainer's Choice follows a simple concept. Rather than recognizing the silhouette of a Pokémon, viewers are asked a question about a Pokémon and instructed to choose the best of three possible answers, usually over a commercial break when watched on TV. Generally, the viewer is asked to determine which Pokémon has a [[damage modification|type advantage]] over another; although other questions have been asked for. The feature is voiced by [[Veronica Taylor]], in character as [[Ash Ketchum]].

==Controversies==
Trainer's Choice was initially met with much criticism from the fandom. [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] very frequently made Pokémon [[type]] match-up errors, resulting in many incorrect answers given, questions with multiple correct answers, questions with no possible correct answer and questions with no right or wrong answer at all. The company also frequently made spelling errors in the names of Pokémon. These constant mistakes were seen by many as an indication that 4Kids in actuality knew very little about the franchise. The most famous example is their erroneous claim that {{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}, featured in the Trainer's Choice of ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''; the Trainer's Choice scene in particular is a source of ridicule by many fans.

In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', the creation of questions for Trainer's Choice is credited to Lawrence Neves and the accuracy rate was greatly improved. When {{PUSA|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] began dubbing the series, Trainer's Choice production was ceased.

== Grammar ==

Cubone King,

Good evening. I apologise for re-doing my grammar correction on the Bug Type page, I had mistakenly thought it had not went through. However, I feel that "based on" is the correct grammar in this case, as well as the other 106 pages I found "based off of" written. I'm quite passionate about grammar and I was planning to correct these pages in the upcoming days. Is there some kind of agreement that can be reached over this matter?

Thanks,

--[[User:Burjojo|Burjojo]] 23:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
:You know, you're probably right... I'll help if you want, but could you find a way to check? I'm very passionate about grammar too, but I just don't want you to correct all these pages only to go back and undo them all, so please check first :) Thanks, [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 00:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll do my best to find a way to check, thank you for your co-operation :) --[[User:Burjojo|Burjojo]] 00:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
:No problemo. [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 00:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I've done some research over the matter. It would appear I'm not the first person to question this. There are scrolls of forums over the internet arguing the matter, but I did see some interesting explanations. If you were to type "based on" into Google, you would find much more results than "based off of". Also, the "of" is considered superfluous. For instance, in the sentence:

"After stowing away and getting kicked off of the S.S. Anne, Red meets the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman"

According to the majority, the "of" is not needed, as "getting kicked off the S.S Anne" is sufficient. This would not apply in the "based on" argument from earlier, however, as the usage is different. "Based on" is preffered to "based off of".

I do see why this has happened though, it is very common in speech (I say it myself I must admit) but it would appear frowned upon within the written aspects of english grammar.

But, it's down to you, boss. I live in Scotland, "glass" is a verb here ;)

--[[User:Burjojo|Burjojo]] 00:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
:Oh, please don't call me boss :) I'm not even an admin :| I live in the US, and I hear "based off of" quite a bit more than "based on," which is why I was quick to revert your edit earlier. However, you do make a good point. Hm... I'd say take it to the {{u|TTEchidna|Surpreme Court}}.

I need your advice on something. In the synopsis of EP270 there is this following sentence. Now I haven't seen the episode myself so I'm not really sure what it means.

" Scizor is sent out against Snorlax, and after a quick series of Quick Attacks, Scizor defeats Snorlax with a Metal Claw to the face off of a missed Hyper Beam"

Now, does that mean that Scizor hit Snorlax in the face? Or am I not quite getting this?

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

===Minor Appearances===
In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Kadabra was living in an abandoned mining colony with several other {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* It is currently impossible to search for Kadabra on the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] website.
* Kadabra has never been printed in the [[TCG]] since the [[Skyridge (TCG)|Skyridge]] set. This may be due to the {{wp|Uri Geller}} case.
* In its {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}} [[Pokédex]] entries, it states that a boy woke up one morning as a Kadabra. That raises the question of how {{p|Abra}} came to be.

===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician or someone who purports to bend spoons psychically, such as Uri Geller. It also has similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost.

'''Return''' (Japanese: '''おんがえし''' ''Return'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Return inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. The base power of Return is dependent on the [[Happiness]] of the user. The greater the user's Happiness, the greater the base power. The base power can be calculated using the following formula:

Base Power = Happiness / 2.5

The base power of Return varies between 1 (minimum Happiness) and 102 (maximum Happiness).

==Trivia==
* In the Spanish version of the games, Return is called ''{{tt|Retroceso|Flinching}}'', which is likely due to a direct translation of the word ''Return''. A correct translation should be ''{{tt|Recompensa|lit. Payoff, Reward}}''.
* Lopunny is the only Pokémon to learn Return by leveling.

'''Jump Kick''' (Japanese: '''とびげり''' ''Dropkick'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. Until [[Generation IV]], it was {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s signiture move.

==Effect==
===Generation I - III===
Jump Kick does damage. If this attack misses, the user will crash and take damage (1/8 of the damage it would've otherwise dealt). Used against a {{type2|Ghost}}, it always counts as a miss.

If the user of Jump Kick attacks first and faints itself due to crash damage, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Generation I, the user lost 1 HP for crashed damage.

===Generation IV===
Same as before, but base power was [[List of moves that changed in attack power|changed]] from 70 to 85.

==Trivia==
* Splash is the only move that has been introduced that does nothing to either the opponent or the user. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, however, Splash will deal 5 damage to both any foe in the way of the attack and the user.
* Splash was originally the [[signature move]] of {{p|Magikarp}}, but since [[Generation II]], other Pokémon have been able to learn it.
* Every Pokémon that can learn Splash by leveling up learns it as a starting move.
* While the English name suggests an association with water, the Japanese name, はねる ''(haneru)'', can mean both "splash" and "hop" (although usually the latter). This explains why the move can be learned naturally by Pokémon such as {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Hoppip}}, species who have no association with water but are known for hopping or jumping and why [[Gravity]] disables it. The translation as "Splash" was likely due to the fact that it was only available to Magikarp when it was introduced.
**This could also explain why Splash is not {{type2|Water}}, as well.
* Of the 21 Pokémon that can learn Splash in one way or another in Generation IV, 15 can also learn {{m|Bounce}}. The only exceptions are Azurill, Feebas, Wynaut, Poliwag and Cleffa.
** Clefairy, Clefable and Politoed can also learn it.

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
The birthplace of Zapdos is unknown and the population of its species is known to be 1.
===Physiology===
Zapdos has the form of a large bird with black and yellow plumage. Its spiky feathers make it look like it is made of lightning. Its tail feathers stick out in several directions, furthering this illusion. A large crest of feathers decorates its head, and distinctive black rings encircle its eyes. Its beak is very long and thin. While Zapdos is the smallest and lightest of the legendary birds, it is still a [[List of Pokémon by weight#110.2 lbs to 120.0 lbs (80 Power Grass Knot/Low Kick)|fairly large]] Pokémon.

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

===Special abilities===
When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity, potentially causing thunderstorms.

===Behavior===
Zapdos is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. It is always seen in conjunction with thunderstorms, leading many to believe that it gathers energy from the electricity in the atmosphere. It is also reported to cause massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are contributed to the lightning bolts it is said to shed when airborne.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
When Zapdos is sighted, which is not often, it is almost always during electrical storms. It appears to live in thunderclouds, but one is said to live in or near a power plant in Kanto. It may be attracted by the electricity the plant produces.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Zapdos movie 2.png|thumb|right|250px|Zapdos in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
===Major appearances===
====''[[M02|The Power of One]]''====
{{DL|Legendary birds (The Power of One)|Zapdos}} made its first true appearance in ''The Power of One''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three Kanto Legendary Birds as well as {{p|Lugia}}.

====Other====
The Electric Pokémon made another appearance in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] made an attempt to steal a crystal that gave a lake the ability to heal {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, they were side-tracked when Zapdos showed up and changed their objective to capture Zapdos instead.

===Minor appearances===
The first time Zapdos was seen was in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. However, it wasn't a real Zapdos, just a machine.

A Zapdos made an appearance in the credits of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. [[Jackie]] had captured it with a [[Capture Styler]] and flew away on it.

A Zapdos made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. This may have been taken from {{game|Platinum}}, where in this version, there is a Zapdos [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Sinnoh.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP242|Zapdos|Ash's Pokédex|Zapdos, the Electric Pokémon. Zapdos has both {{t|electric}} and {{t|flying}} elements and the flappage of its wings can create lightning.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Having captured this legendary bird in the abandoned [[Power Plant]] as in the games, [[Lt. Surge]] appears with Zapdos in his team during the events of {{PAV|3}}, using it as a neverending power source for his Electric-types, allowing them to continually shock {{adv|Red}} at full force, a strategy that turns against him when Red uses [[Saur]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the supply cords and his insulating underwear with them. After having been merged with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|an undiscovered Pokémon]], the three Pallet Town trainers are able to defeat the combined monster, so it leaves his team, and [[Team Rocket]] afterwards to go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later captures Zapdos before the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}} and uses it against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], having caught it and its legendary bird companions on her personal training journey to overcome her fear of birds. During this battle, it is lent to {{adv|Blue}} when things get rough. Once returned, it is put back in its [[Poké Ball]] and isn't seen again, meaning it has either been deposited into her box or released.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Zapdos uses a powerful {{m|ThunderShock}} that hits opponents several times to produce a substantial amount of damage.

====Trophy information====
Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded {{m|Thunder}}, it also wields a vicious move called {{m|Drill Peck}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* Zapdos is the first legendary Pokémon encountered in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. After it kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of [[Mt. Thunder]]. It is possible to recruit Zapdos by returning for another fight after the credits.

==Trivia==
* Of all legendary Pokémon with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of badges: 3. In the [[Generation I]] games and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their remakes]], one can catch Zapdos with only the {{badge|Boulder}}, {{badge|Cascade}}, and {{badge|Soul}} although it is far too strong for most trainers at that stage, at level 50.
* In Generation I, Zapdos was the only dual-type Electric Pokémon, as {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} did not gain a secondary type until {{t|Steel}} was introduced in [[Generation II]].
* Zapdos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}} have almost the same Japanese name, a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos and the {{p|Chinchou}} evolution family (without {{a|Volt Absorb}}) are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon that receive neutral damage from Electric-type moves.
* Zapdos is the only one of the [[legendary birds]] to not have a double weakness to {{t|Rock}}, although it still has a normal weakness to rock.
* It is so far [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|the only]] dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only member of its trio with a unique type combination.
* Zapdos shares its cry with [['M]].
* Zapdos is the only one of the legendary birds to never be seen on its feet in a sprite: it is always in the air.
* In Generation II, Zapdos was given an additional toe pointing forward on each foot giving it three. However, {{g|Stadium 2}} shares the same 3-D model for Zapdos as its Generation I 3-D games, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Snap}}, so in that game, it still only has two.

===Origin===
Zapdos is based on the {{wp|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}. The thunderbird was known for being the spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain in the form of a giant bird. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lighting bird}}, a bird created from wherever lighting hits the earth. It may also have been based on the {{wp|Impundulu}}, a bird of witchcraft said to summon thunder and lightning with its wings and talons.

====Name origin====
Zapdos's name is a combination of the word ''zap'' and the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for two, ''dos'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Thunder''.

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Electhor - A combination of ''electric'' and {{wp|Thor}}, the Norse god of thunder.

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green, varrying in size orbs of light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds 500 years ago. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

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

====Special abilities====
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{t|Dark}}/{{type2|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, while being slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Like {{p|Sableye}}, Spiritomb also has no type weaknesses unless subjected to {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or the move user has the ability {{a|Scrappy}}. Spiritomb is immune to {{type2|Psychic}} energies unless the user is under the effect of {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

===Behavior===
Spiritomb are thought to be evil Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}. It is said to act as a hive-mind, with all of the souls that comprise it acting in unison towards the same goal.

===Habitat===
Spiritomb are entrapped in [[Odd Keystone]]s and must be brought to the [[Hallowed Tower]] to be awakened. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], also live in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[Image:Spiritomb anime.png|right|thumb|Spiritomb in the anime]]

==In the anime==
Spiritomb appeared in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. When Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]]. It then wrecked havoc on a nearby town.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP056|Spiritomb|Dawn's Pokédex|Spiritomb, the Forbidden Pokémon. As punishment for misdeeds 500 years ago, Spiritomb was sealed in the fissure of an [[Odd Keystone]].}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: A Spiritomb is the boss of [[Sealed Ruins]]. He captures {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and the player must battle the Spiritomb to free him.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: A Spiritomb was ordered by {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} to hold {{mdc|Celebi|2}} hostage in the depths of [[Icicle Forest]] to lure {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} into the center of the electric field. This Spiritomb is likely to be the same one from the Sealed Ruins.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: A Spiritomb is the boss the first time the player goes through the [[Chroma Ruins]]. It also appears as the second boss of the Capture Arena.

==Trivia==
* Spiritomb is the second out of two Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness. (Excluding when under the effects of {{M|Odor Sleuth}} or {{M|Foresight}}) The first is {{p|Sableye}}.
**Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
* Spiritomb has been shown {{a|Levitate|levitating}}, but cannot have the ability.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach nirvana in the Buddist religion, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to [[Odd Keystone|a stone]].
* As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]]) involve connecting with another device (another player's [[Nintendo DS]] or the [[Pokéwalker]]).

===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.
====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

==In other languages==

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green, varrying in size orbs of light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds 500 years ago. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

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

====Special abilities====
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{t|Dark}}/{{type2|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, while being slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Like {{p|Sableye}}, Spiritomb also has no type weaknesses unless subjected to {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or the move user has the ability {{a|Scrappy}}. Spiritomb is immune to {{type2|Psychic}} energies unless the user is under the effect of {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

===Behavior===
Spiritomb are thought to be evil Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}. It is said to act as a hive-mind, with all of the souls that comprise it acting in unison towards the same goal.

===Habitat===
Spiritomb are entrapped in [[Odd Keystone]]s and must be brought to the [[Hallowed Tower]] to be awakened. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], also live in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
* Spiritomb is the second out of two Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness. (Excluding when under the effects of {{M|Odor Sleuth}} or {{M|Foresight}}) The first is {{p|Sableye}}.
**Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
* Spiritomb has been shown {{a|Levitate|levitating}}, but cannot have the ability.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach nirvana in the Buddist religion, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to [[Odd Keystone|a stone]].
* As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]]) involve connecting with another device (another player's [[Nintendo DS]] or the [[Pokéwalker]]).

===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.
====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

==Trivia==
* Spiritomb is the second out of two Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness. (Excluding when under the effects of {{M|Odor Sleuth}} or {{M|Foresight}}) The first is {{p|Sableye}}.
**Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
* Spiritomb has been shown {{a|Levitate|levitating}}, but cannot have the ability.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach nirvana in the Buddist religion, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to [[Odd Keystone|a stone]].
* As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]]) involve connecting with another device (another player's [[Nintendo DS]] or the [[Pokéwalker]]).

===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.
====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

==In other languages==
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 花岩怪
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kryppuk - From ''Krypta'' (crypt) and ''Spuk'' (spook).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Spiritomb
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 화강돌 ''Hwagangdol''

Rescue team camp

2010-05-19T02:16:29Z

Swampert Man:

'''Friend Areas''' are places where players can store recruited wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. There are just enough Friend Areas to have space for one of every 386 Pokémon from the first three generations, along with all forms of {{p|Unown}}. Some Friend Areas can be earned by completing certain missions, while others must be bought in [[Pokémon Square]] from {{p|Wigglytuff}}. There are also some special ones that are obtained by recruiting a specific Pokémon, usually a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} one.

'''Nidoran♂''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♂''' ''Nidoran♂'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorino}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Nidoking}} via {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoran♂ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, front teeth and red eyes. They are covered with spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♂ is threatened. Nidoran♂ have a larger forehead horn than their female counterparts, {{p|Nidoran♀}}.
====Gender differences====
Nidoran♂ is the male of the species, and is noted to be one of the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. In the later generations, however, Pokémon with genders are marked with a ♀ or ♂ symbol, rather than being actual different Pokémon.

Compare with Nidoran♀. Note how the female Nidoran has a smaller horn and fewer spines, as well as a different color.
====Special abilities====
Nidoran♂'s large horns can {{a|Poison Point|secrete a powerful venom}}; unlike his female counterpart, the size of the horns is indicative of the strength of the venom. He also has unique muscles around his ears, which permit them to be moved in any direction.

===Behavior===
Nidoran♂ are fairly docile Pokémon, although they tend to be more alert and nervous than their female counterparts, constantly listening for the sounds of approaching enemies with their large ears. Their potent venom is used primarily as a defense, and most likely evolved to counteract their small body size.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Nidoran♂ live in expansive hot savannas and plains. It shares its native range with {{p|Nidoran♀}} and both species are commonly found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and rarely in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their difference is much greater than later Pokémon.
* Despite the addition of genders in all Pokémon starting in Generation II, the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
** A Nidoran♀ {{pkmn|egg}} does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂.
* Nidoran♂'s {{pkmn2|shiny|alternate coloration}} is similar to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s normal coloration.
* Nidoran♂ and {{p|Nidorino}} share the same [[species]] name with their male counterparts {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidorina}}. They are all known as Poison Pin Pokémon.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♂, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♂'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if it were genderless if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♂", its gender will appear as normal.
* All of Nidoran♂'s Pokédex entries mentions its large ears except the one featured in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}} and {{g|Stadium 2}}.
* Nidoran♂ is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
===Origin===
Nidoran♂ appears to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}} or {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}, as seen by their aggressive nature towards one another.
====Name origin====
Nidoran♂'s name may be based on the word ''needle''. It may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably, by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The Japanese word ''ran'' is translated as ''orchid'' in English. Orchids are flowers that can be purple or blue. These colors are the same as the male and female evolutionary forms of Nidoran, respectively. The ''♂'' in its name is an indication of its male gender.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidoran♂
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidoran♂
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드런♂ ''Nideuran♂''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 尼多郎 (Ni Duo Lang) - Transliteration of its original name. The character 郎 literally refers to young males.

'''Orre''' (Japanese: '''オーレ地方''' ''Ōre-chihō'') is the setting of the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
Orre has no wild Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum, and only a few starting to pop up in specific spots in Pokémon XD. In these circumstances, {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s use Pokémon imported from other regions, primarily [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]. Pokémon battles are, for the most part, played in double battle style with the Trainers putting two Pokémon out each. There is no form of a Pokémon League, but rather, a variety of facilities which offer consecutive battles. However, [[Michael]] wanting to start his Pokémon Journey when he comes of age would imply that there is at least something similar to a Pokémon League in Orre, if not an actual Pokémon League.

==Geography==
This region is noticeably protrudent, divided to a large desert wasteland and a mountainous area of greenery. It has no connecting routes, due to the wastelands.

==Trivia==
*Orre is one of only two regions to have more than one crime syndicate plaguing the region, the other being [[Hoenn]].
**Coincidentally, both of these Regions debuted in [[Generation III]].
*The Pokémon Center in Phenac City is the only such Center in the region that also features a Trade Center for connecting with main-series Pokémon games.
**When traded to any Pokémon game outside of Orre, the Pokémon's location will say it is from a Distant Land.

'''Ash's Infernape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゴウカザル''' ''Satoshi's Goukazaru'') is a Pokémon owned by {{Ash}}. It was initially owned by [[Paul]] but joined Ash's team after being released in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.

==History==
===With Paul===
[[Image:PaulChimchar.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Chimchar}}, while under Paul's command]]
When Paul first saw Chimchar, it was being chased by a group of {{p|Zangoose}}. The situation looked bad for Chimchar but in its stress it pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities and so Paul regularly criticized it for being weak. After this incident, Chimchar had a morbid fear of all {{p|Zangoose}}.

Chimchar's first episode was ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' where Paul used it to battle {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}. It fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and where it won against [[Ash's Turtwig]] and ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' where it beat [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} but lost to Roark's {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}}.

After losing to [[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved his Pokémon attacking Chimchar in the hopes of creating the power he had seen before. Ash intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy told Paul it would be unable to battle. However, Paul ignored this warning.

During the next battle against a Zangoose and a {{p|Metagross}}, Chimchar was too scared to make any attack when caught in Zangoose's claws and had to be saved by Turtwig, who was then seriously injured through Chimchar following Paul's orders. Chimchar made up for this by protecting Turtwig from a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Furious at it, Paul refused to give any orders and he simply turned away. Shocked by this, Ash gave Chimchar commands to get them out of the situation before finishing the battle with Turtwig. After the battle, Paul released Chimchar in front of Ash, who then invited it to join him.

In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected {{TP|Paul|Elekid|Electabuzz}} and Chimchar for their last battle in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' against [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and {{TP|Ash|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}}. During the battle, Elekid evolved into Electabuzz and they both combined {{m|Thunder}} and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.

===With Ash===
[[Image:AshAdoptChimchar.png|left|thumb|220px|Ash adopting Chimchar]]
In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched the Pokémon having fun and it kept having flashbacks of when it was still in Paul's possession reflecting on how its former Trainer treated it as opposed to how Ash does, after which it cried tears of joy as it was finally treated with patience and kindness by Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, something Paul failed to do as its trainer. In the same episode, Chimchar overcame its morbid fear of Zangoose stated above.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' Ash used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused it. It was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where it fought bravely and caused some damage before being defeated.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Ash and co. came across Paul. Ash and Paul had an enormous argument at which point an enraged Ash challenged Paul to a battle. Chimchar volunteered to go up against Paul and faced [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and Chimchar was pushed to the point of using {{a|Blaze}}. Chimchar easily defeated Ursaring, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up to Chimchar and grabbed it, begging it to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle, biting Ash at one point. Eventually it was embraced by Ash and Chimchar calmed down.

Later in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', when battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight and was later thanked by Ash (after receiving medical treatment). [[Cynthia]] then comforted Chimchar about its past with Paul.

Ash later used Chimchar to battle against {{an|Barry}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's {{p|Staraptor}} using its superior agility. But, despite a type advantage, Chimchar lost to Barry's {{p|Roserade}}.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', using Ash's counter-shield strategy, Chimchar defeated [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Drifblim}}, earning Ash his {{Badge|Relic}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', it was used in the battle against [[Byron's Bastiodon]], {{p|Bronzor}} and {{p|Steelix}}. It defeated Bronzor and Steelix, but eventually fell to Bastiodon. This mirrors {{AP|Staravia}}'s previous participation in the [[DP068|third gym]], with it defeating the gym leader's first two Pokémon and losing to their third.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', it was used in the Snowpoint Gym battle. Chimchar battled [[Candice]]'s {{p|Snover}} and {{TP|Candice|Abomasnow}} and it defeated both of them, earning Ash his {{Badge|Icicle}}.
[[Image:Ash Monferno.png|right|thumb|250px|As a Monferno]]
In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Chimchar was used in the full battle Ash had against Paul. It defeated [[Paul's Ursaring]], which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a {{p|Monferno}} and immediately learned {{m|Mach Punch}}. During the following battle against [[Paul's Electabuzz]], it put up a close fight but was defeated and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.

In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, was badly injured. It needed a [[Cheri Berry]] to help treat it but the [[Pokémon Center]] didn't have one. After {{an|Brock}} got one by [[Lake Acuity]], it became better. It eventually attacked [[Team Rocket]] in combination with Ash's other Pokémon.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', it was used in a [[tag battle]] with Dawn against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Monferno used {{m|Flamethrower}} on [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]'s {{m|Flame Wheel}} to defeat Lyra's {{p|Chikorita}} and defeated Khoury's newly evolved {{p|Croconaw}} with a {{m|Mach Punch}}.

In [[DP163]], Monferno battled [[Barry's Empoleon]]. After being struck by a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with {{a|Blaze}}, but managed to control it in the last second in order to save [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Dawn's Piplup]], [[Paul's Electabuzz]] and Barry's Empoleon from [[Team Rocket]]'s falling [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], evolving into an {{p|Infernape}} in the process.

In [[DP165]], Ash used Infernape in a battle against {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}}'s Infernape, however despite its power and speed it was unable to keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.

===Moves improvised===
[[File:Monferno counter shield.png|thumb|As a Monferno, using [[Counter Shield]]]]
* '''[[Counter Shield]]''' was used in ''[[DP102|Shield With a Twist!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. Chimchar/Monferno uses {{m|Flamethrower}} after using {{m|Flame Wheel}}, releasing fire whips everywhere.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Infernape is similar to his {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}. They are all Fire-types, they are all the fourth Pokémon Ash caught in a region (not counting {{AP|Pikachu}}), and they are currently unable to evolve.
* This is Ash's third primate-based [[Pokémon]], the others being {{AP|Primeape}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Unlike the other two, however, Infernape has not stolen [[Ash's hat]], and actually evolved under his care and hasn't been put in training.
** Infernape is also the only one of the three who is currently on a main character's team.
* Because of his capture of Chimchar, Ash now has owned each Fire-type starter whose English name begins with a C and whose Japanese name begins with a ヒ ''hi'': Charmander, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and Chimchar. Incidentally, Charmander and Chimchar were either abused or abandoned by their former Trainers, while Cyndaquil narrowly avoided being captured by [[Koji|a potentially abusive Trainer]].
** It is also Ash's only Fire-type starter whose English name does not begin with a C.
* Fans initially assumed Chimchar to be Paul's [[starter Pokémon]] until it was revealed in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' that Paul's starter Pokémon was actually [[Paul's Torterra|a Turtwig]], possibly in parallel to Ash's.
* For [[DP067]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Chimchar.
* As a Chimchar and Monferno, it is Ash's fourth Pokémon voiced by [[Megumi Hayashibara]] in Japanese. The other three are {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Phanpy}}.
* It is also Ash's third Pokémon voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the English dub. The other two are {{AP|Corphish}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}.
** It is also one of Paul's Pokémon to be voiced by the same voice actor. The other three are {{DL|Paul|Weavile}}, {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, and {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}.
* Infernape, as Chimchar and Monferno, and Gible are the only Pokémon on Ash's [[Sinnoh]] team to not have met any of their evolved forms.
* Infernape took the most amount of episodes so far to reach a certain stage in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
* When Infernape evolved from a {{p|Chimchar}} to a {{p|Monferno}}, it became the first time Ash had two evolved forms of [[starter Pokémon]] from the same region on hand.
* Infernape is Ash's third Pokémon to [[evolution|evolve]] while battling against [[Paul]], the others being {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Staraptor}}.
** Out of these three, Infernape is the only one who did not evolve during a battle with Paul's Honchkrow, evolving instead from a Chimchar to a Monferno after defeating Paul's Ursaring.
* Infernape is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to have been able to defeat [[Paul's Ursaring]] in battle, doing so three times.
* Infernape is Ash's second Fire-type Pokémon to evolve more than once, the first being {{TP|Ash|Charizard}}.
* Monferno's evolution into Infernape was revealed in the Japanese opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]''.
* Infernape is the first final [[evolution]] of a [[starter Pokémon]] belonging to a main character to mark its species debut in the main series when it evolves.
** However, {{AP|Charizard}} could be accounted as the first time this happens if the fake Charizard that appeared before it in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' isn't counted.
* Infernape is Ash's first {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon to evolve under his care and only his third one overall. It is also Ash's first primate-based Pokémon to evolve in his care as Ambipom evolved under Dawn's care while Primeape evolved before it was caught.
* Paul was present at the time of both Chimchar and Monferno's evolution in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' and [[DP163]], respectively.
** He was also present every time Chimchar/Monferno's {{a|Blaze}} was activated on-screen, which includes ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', the flashback of Chimchar's capture in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' and [[DP163]].
* As of Infernape, the three fully evolved Sinnoh starters are each owned by regular characters - [[Paul]] has {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, {{Ash}} has Infernape and {{an|Barry}} has {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} (although it should be noted that Ash also owns a {{AP|Torterra}}, and {{si|Kenny}} owns an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}).

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type2|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans.

In Pokémon {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}} Versions, Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land, as shown by the rocky plates on its back. It is colored red, possibly a reference to its relation with volcanoes. Its massive, armored body is modeled after a behemoth, a creature of legends and religious texts (particularly the Bible) that ruled the land. However, the behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way that {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the leviathan, Groudon's design may be based on lizards or various dinosaurs. It stands on two legs. It has red armor plating with a gray belly and sharp white spikes running from its head down to its tail. It has three large sharp toenails on each foot.

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

====Special abilities====
Groudon {{a|Drought|emanates heat}}, evaporating surrounding water and causing constant [[Weather conditions|bright sunlight]] similar to the effects of {{m|Sunny Day}}. The sunlight lasts even after Groudon has left the vicinity. It is thought to have been the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]].

===Behavior===
Slow, stoic, and heavy (2094 pounds--a little over a ton), this super-heavyweight created the land, according to Hoenn legend. It sleeps underground in magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. It is said to appear before those with [[Pokémon SoulSilver|shining silver spirits]].

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Groudon sleeps miles below the ground (occasionally in deep, hot magma pockets), and are therefore nearly impossible to find it wild without awakening it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Groudon in the anime]]
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wishes to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a manifestation of pure evil. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', a Groudon battles against {{p|Kyogre}}.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Groudon makes a cameo during the opening of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' when it awakens from the ground during a volcanic explosion.

==In the manga==
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed.

==In the TCG==

==In the TFG==
One Groudon figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Groudon|3}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Groudonbrawl.PNG|thumb|right|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone who comes into contact with it to be set on fire and sent flying.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

===Origin===
Groudon is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. Groudon's appearance also draws inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'' such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''. Groudon can also be based on Maylupa, which means the "owner of the lands", the lord of the lands and agricultural fields.

====Name origin====
Groudon's name appears to be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'', which is Spanish for lord — hence, lord of the ground. The suffix -don is also used in the names of many {{wp|dinosaur}}s and large animals, and means "tooth". Groudon has large teeth, and also somewhat resembles a dinosaur. Although possibly a coincidence, its name also includes 土 ''do'', ground, or ''don'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise, which would be made by Groudon's feet when it walks.
