{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|ZA}}|{{pdollar}}200|{{pdollar}}20}}
|}
|}

In the [[Generation V]] games, the Tamato Berry can be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|gourmet maniac}} on {{rt|5|Unova}} for {{Pdollar}}20.

===Effect===
In {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, the Tamato Berry cannot be used directly and only has a use as an ingredient for [[Pokéblock]]s.

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, excluding [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the Tamato Berry can be used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon to increase the Pokémon's [[friendship]] (+10 at friendship 0-99, +5 at friendship 100-199, +1SwSh-/+2E-USUM at friendship 200-255) and lowers its Speed [[Effort values|EVs]] by ten points (but not below 0). In [[Generation IV]] only, this Berry reduces the EV to 100 if it was above 110 when used.

==Trivia==
* The Tamato Berry is the only one of the EV-reducing Berries that did not have the same growth time or Berry yield as the rest in [[Generation III]].
* As revealed in [[HZ139]] according to [[Murdock]] Tamato berries are healthy. They can cause sweeting and speed up metabolism, perfect for dieting and losing weight.

===Origin===
The Tamato Berry's design and name may be based on a {{wp|tomato}}. Its design may also be based on a {{wp|horned melon}}, or the texture seen on some {{wp|chili pepper}} cultivars such as the {{wp|Carolina Reaper}}.

'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Kitakami]], there is a particular Ursaluna that has a unique [[#Form data|form]] known as '''Bloodmoon Ursaluna'''. Unlike regular Ursaluna, it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gray pelt around its large, humped back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's [[Evolution]] is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] during a full moon. Its {{a|Bulletproof|resilient physique}} allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna is good at searching for [[item]]s and missing [[Human|people]] using their sense of smell.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for him being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{ga|Arceus}}. He is one of the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} who resides in [[Crimson Mirelands]], watched over by the [[warden]] [[Calaba]]. This special Ursaluna is known to assist humans.

===Forms===
[[File:SV Bloodmoon Ursaluna Sighting.png|thumb|left|250px|Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
A particular Ursaluna has a special form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Known as the "Bloodmoon Beast", it is stated that this Ursaluna is the only one known to exist, and is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ Bloodmoon Ursaluna | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> The name of this unique Ursaluna comes from the distinctive red moon mark on its forehead.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. Its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the right eye's pupil and has what appears to be a scar near the eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the [[Hisui]] region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's [[Timeless Woods]]. It gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights. Bloodmoon Ursaluna can {{m|Blood Moon|unleash the full brunt of its spirit}} from the red moon mark in its forehead. As shown in [[HZ130]] Bloodmoon Ursaluna can see in the dark but also fears the dark.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Blood Moon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mind's Eye}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an Ursaluna is a supporting character and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that is cared for by the [[Warden]] [[Calaba]]. He a descendant of the Ursaluna that the [[ancient hero]] befriended ages ago in [[Hisui]]an legend.
* A special [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|Ursaluna]], under the name of the "Bloodmoon Beast" appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Teal Mask]] expansion, appearing as a minor character and boss. Originally from Hisui, it one day crossed the sea and ended up drifting ashore into [[Kitakami]]'s [[Timeless Woods]]. Through weathering, unlike a typical [[form change]] or [[Evolution]], it gained the appearance it is known for, adapting the form known as "Bloodmoon" in the Pokédex. It is a target of [[Perrin]]'s photography.

===Form data===
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is always [[Gender|male]] and its form cannot be changed. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Ursaring}}. Mechanically, other than its shared species, the only traits that Bloodmoon Ursaluna shares with regular Ursaluna are its [[type]] and the ability to produce {{p|Teddiursa}} {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} when {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}}, and therefore the ability to acquire [[Egg Move]]s via [[Mirror Herb]]. Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a [[signature Ability]], {{a|Mind's Eye}}, as its sole [[Ability]], and its [[base stats]], learnable [[move]]s, and [[cry]] are also different from those of regular Ursaluna.

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

==Trivia==
* Ursaluna, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rather than a [[regional form]] to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Since Ursaring is not programmed to evolve in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the only way to obtain a regular Ursaluna with the Scarlet and Violet [[origin mark]] is to transfer a {{p|Teddiursa}} or {{p|Ursaring}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} using {{g|HOME}}, evolve it there, and transfer it back.
* Prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} v3.0.0, if the player had Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], its {{Shiny}} form would be viewable in the [[Pokédex]] if they had a Shiny Ursaluna of any form. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is prevented from being Shiny, this was the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.
** In v3.0.0 onward, the game was hardcoded to prevent this from occurring, making Bloodmoon Ursaluna the only Pokémon prevented from appearing as Shiny in the Pokédex, even when [[cheating]] to obtain it as Shiny or trying to force the Pokédex to display it.
* Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only alternate form of a Pokémon that is not a [[regional form]] to have a separate listing in the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
* Although Teddiursa and regular Ursaluna can learn {{m|Charm}} from [[breeding]] or TM, Bloodmoon Ursaluna cannot learn it by TM. However, it can still learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] with another Pokémon that knows the move.
* A glitch exists within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] where Ursaluna's "happy" and "curious" sounds are replaced by those of {{p|Basculegion}}. The only way to hear its natural "happy" sound is by throwing its [[Poké Ball]] outside of battle with a high enough friendship level. There is no known way to hear its natural "curious" sound.

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the {{wp|lunar eclipse}} phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the moon appearing red in the sky. It also seems to be based on {{wp|onikuma}}, bears that have transformed into yokai after living for an exceptionally long time. Onikuma are known to walk on two legs and continue to grow, reaching sizes much larger than even the largest natural bears.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''luna'' (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

'''Lunatone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルナトーン''' ''Lunatone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Solrock}}.

==Biology==
Lunatone is a cream-colored, rock {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a crescent moon shape. In the center of the crescent is a pointed, beak-like structure. It has deep-set, red eyes, which can cause paralyzing fear or induce sleep.

Lunatone lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and becomes active under a full moon. The moon increases its power, and its health is tied to the lunar phases. Using its psychic powers, Lunatone floats through the air. It was first discovered at the site of a meteor crash. There's a theory that Lunatone may have originated from outer space. As shown in [[AG087]] Lunatone can gain power from absorbing moonlight.

===Origin===
Lunatone seems to be based on a {{wp|lunar phase|crescent}} {{wp|moon}}, as well as a {{wp|meteorite}}. It might also pull from depictions of the {{wp|Man in the Moon}}, a figure imagined from the patterns on the moon's surface, especially those of the crescent moon.

====Name origin====
Lunatone may be a combination of ''lunar'' and ''stone''.

'''Ult''' (Japanese: '''ウルト''' ''Uruto''<ref>[https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1908820727832383946 Ult's name romanized as ''Uruto'' in an image from the official Japanese animated series Twitter/X account]</ref>) is a major supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}, introduced in the ''[[Mega Voltage]]'' arc. He is [[Roy]]'s [[rival]] and a [[HZ100|member]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==History==
[[File:Young Ult.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Ult]]
===Pre-series===
Ult grew up in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region. At some point during his childhood, Ult received a [[Dusk Ball]] from [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]], though he was oblivious to what Pokémon was contained inside.

Due to unknown events, Ult ended up homeless and was forced to live out his days in the Lumiose City alleys alongside his {{p|Sableye}}. One day, a young detective named [[Emma]] approached Ult and allowed him and Sableye a place to stay at her home, the [[Looker Bureau]]. During his stay, Emma taught Ult certain necessities, such as reading, writing, and how to study.

===''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''===
In the year following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Ult [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Roy]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], which led to them becoming [[rival]]s, aquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].
[[File:Ult and Sableye.png|thumb|250px|Ult and {{p|Sableye}}]]
Ult debuted in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]''. He found Roy searching for a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slaking}} and insisted on following him, despite the other's attempts of warding him off. Eventually, they found the Slaking and had their Pokémon battle and defeat it after discovering that it was being influenced by [[Laquium]]. In the following morning, Ult found out that Roy had woken up earlier and left him behind.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Ult tracked Roy down to an unknown town, discovering him with [[Liko]]. While continuing to follow them, he and his {{p|Sableye}} accidentally fell down a hole and investigated it, only to be caught by a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Steelix}}. Later, he found Roy and Liko fighting another afflicted Steelix. Seeing the severity of the situation, he Mega Evolved his Sableye and assisted the two in fighting the berserk Pokémon. After being introduced to Liko, his Sableye attempted to eat [[Pagogo]] due to the gems it had, but Ult managed to pull it away. Ult chastised Roy for abandoning him in the forest, leading to Roy realizing that Ult had been following him, though he denied the accusation. He then began a monologue claiming that the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his, prompting Roy to drag Liko off, much to his frustration.
[[File:Ult Strong Sphere HZ095.png|thumb|250px|left|Ult renounces the power of [[Laquium]] and destroys his [[Strong Sphere]]]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Ult ended up in the [[Exceed Testing Center]] near [[Mochew City]], where a live demonstration of the [[Strong Sphere]] was being held. He encountered Liko and Roy, but coldly shrugged off Roy's attempt to talk to him due to the motion sickness resulting from having ridden the bus. Ult contemplated using the Strong Sphere at first, but quickly made up his mind to not use it after seeing the effects on [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s Pokémon. He had his Sableye face off against them, but Coral's {{p|Glalie}} wrapped the battle early with a {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing Ult, Liko, and Roy to escape. Then, he decided to formally join the two of them on their journey.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', after learning from [[Dot]] about a [[Black Rayquaza]] sighting near [[Blackthorn City]], the trio decided to go there and investigate. While on the way, they were stopped by [[Team Dragon Rampage]], a trio of {{p|Cyclizar}}-riding {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s, who feigned ignorance about the Black Rayquaza and fled, accusing Ult's group of being [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]]s. Later, the group encountered [[Snake]], an actual poacher. Ult tried facing the man alone, but was scolded by Liko, who stated his reckless actions would never allow him to become strong. Taking Liko's critique to heart, Ult teamed up with Roy and defeated Snake, sending him running off. Impressed by their heroics, Team Dragon Rampage decided to take Liko and Roy, but not Ult, to the [[Dragon's Den]], where the Black Rayquaza was recovering from the events at [[Laqua]]. Ult, however, insisted and found his way there, where he met the [[Legendary Pokémon]] for the first time and told it to get better quickly, as he only wanted to face it at full strength, while also proclaiming his intention of becoming way stronger.
[[File:Ult Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|Ult joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot, who had joined them in the [[HZ098|previous episode]], arrived at [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]], in [[Galar]], to meet up with [[Orla]], a former member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. While the others tried convincing Orla to aid them, Ult found out that [[Karna]] had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two [[Exceed]] employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the [[Explorers]] members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|next episode]], Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Ult and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Ult and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and [[Ludlow]] arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Ult got into an argument with Roy over the messy state of his living quarters. Frustrated, Ult ran away with Sableye to [[Manpūku Town]], where he met [[Rayu]], a street artist to whom he showed off his [[Dusk Ball]], claiming it housed a powerful Pokémon, though he didn't know exactly who. The next day, Ult realized Rayu had stolen his Dusk Ball and raced to the town, where he found the boy ready to trade it for a Strong Sphere with Indi and Rubina. He challenged them to a battle and managed to win after his willingness to fight for others resonated with the Pokémon in the Dusk Ball, who finally emerged, revealing itself as a {{p|Dragonite}}. The Explorers duo retreated, but Ult followed them. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], he arrived at an [[Explorers base]], but was quickly spotted and locked up. Fortunately, he managed to send Sableye away to get help, who was able to find Roy. The two of them soon fought against Indi and Rubina once more, but they were interrupted by four {{p|Rabsca}}, who were suppressing the battlefield with their {{m|Gravity}}. At this moment, remembering words from [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]], he called for Dragonite's strength in order to protect the ones he cared about. This time, Ult's determination allowed for Dragonite to Mega Evolve, which took out the Rabsca, allowing the two boys to defeat their opponents and escape. While Roy was pleased to see that Dragonite approved him, Ult felt that it wasn't genuine until he could protect the ones he cared about. He later met with Mollie, who gave him some advice and knew he had run off but did not tell anyone, which he appreciated, and he warmed up at the thought of belonging with the group.
[[File:Lacey and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Ult and Lacey]]
In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Ult joined Liko and Roy in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Ult's Sableye struggled to deal significant damage to {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, leaving Ult shocked at the sheer strength of the Six Heroes. Ult then sent out and Mega Evolved his Dragonite, but despite this Mega Dragonite still was not fully obedient to Ult, not listening to his commands and dodging Gouging Fire's attacks on its own. After Pagogo was defeated, Ult and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Ult and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by [[Amethio]] and [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]], the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Ult and the others received a call from [[Briar]], who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Ult and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.

In [[HZ117]], Ult battled against [[Lacey]] with his Sableye, but lost the battle as well as failing her Pokémon knowledge quizzes. As a result of this loss, he went along to study Pokémon features and behavior to get better knowledge, struggling along the way. After seeing [[Drayton]] with his Dragonite, Ult opened up to Lacey about his own Dragonite and how his father gave it to him, with both Trainers bonding over their respective parents. After being attacked by an Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}, Ult followed Lacey's advice about observing Pokémon behavior in battle, working well with his Dragonite to defeat it. This victory resulted in Ult growing closer to his Pokémon as a result.

In [[HZ124]], Ult, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio infiltrated the [[Explorers HQ]] to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Ult and Roy went up to the roof, where they lured out some Explorers Trainers as a distraction. Once their opponents were defeated, Ult and Roy headed down to meet with the others. All five entered the building, where they were led into a trap by Spinel and forced to battle the Super Strong Sphere-affected Six Heroes once again.

In [[HZ125]], Ult used Dragonite to battle Gouging Fire, but struggled against an opponent he knew nothing about. Remembering what Lacey taught him, Ult tried using his [[Pokédex]] to find information on his opponent, only for it to have nothing on a [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He looked up what moves Dragonite knew, and strategically used Dragonite's {{m|Twister}} to send Gouging Fire's {{m|Ancient Power}} attack back at it, overwhelming and defeating it. Eventually, all five of the Six Heroes were defeated and cured of the Laquium's effects by Pagogo's power. Ult and the others escaped the building, after which the Six Heroes left, promising to meet their friends again in Laqua. Unbeknownst to Ult and his friends, Spinel recorded their encounter and manipulated the events to make the Rising Volt Tacklers appear as the villains. He used this to forced the Rising Volt Tacklers into hiding from the public and advertise the Strong Sphere.

In [[HZ127]], in order to prepare for their upcoming final battle with the Explorers, Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to get stronger by training with their friends. Due to a lack of a fourth person to battle, Ult was paired with [[Hassel]] and used Dragonite to battle the latter's {{p|Baxcalibur}}. Despite putting up a good fight, Ult failed to notice Hassel's tactics which left Dragonite trapped and frozen in ice. Dragonite was then defeated by a super effective {{m|Glaive Rush}}. Afterward, Hassel noted that Ult reminded him of someone he once knew, much to Ult's confusion.

In [[HZ129]], Ult, Roy, and Liko traveled back to the Dragon's Den and reunited with Team Dragon Rampage. Team Dragon Rampage recognized Ult's Dragonite as originally belonging to the famous adventurer, {{OBP|Salt|Horizons}}, revealing that he was Ult's father. They met with the Black Rayquaza, who was restored to full strength with the meteorite Friede gave to Roy. Rayquaza agreed to help the Rising Volt Tacklers put an end to the Laquium threat and with Pagogo's help, {{Terastal}}lized into a pure {{type|Dragon}}. Ult and Roy teamed up to take on Rayquaza, but its overwhelming strength slowly whittled their available Pokémon down, leaving only Roy's {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} remaining. Roy defeated Rayquaza, who accepted him as its new Trainer and allowed him to catch it. Although disappointed by his failure, Ult happily praised Roy for achieving his dream. Rayquaza then left to meet with the other Six Heroes in preparation for the final battle at Laqua.

==Character==
[[File:Ult and Black Rayquaza.png|250px|thumb|Ult and the Black Rayquaza]]
Ult is [[Roy]]'s self-proclaimed spirited rival, constantly seeking a battle. He's quick with a snarky comment and easily frustrated, especially when Roy leaves him behind. Despite his arrogant demeanor and sharp tongue, Ult is actually a skilled Trainer with a strong connection to his Pokémon, enabling them to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], as well as being good with battle tactics, as seen when battling [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] on even footing without using Mega Evolution. He can also be surprisingly supportive, encouraging Roy to overcome his fears and fight for his ambitions. Driven by their shared goal of catching the [[Black Rayquaza]], Ult's impulsive pursuit often leads him into trouble, as seen when he angered a flock of {{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Fearow}} by trespassing, and also leads to him persistently pursuing Roy to the latter's displeasure. These traits lead to his relationship with Roy being tenuous, as the latter sees him as a nuisance and a liability who will only get in his way and generally doesn't want to put up with him and his over-the-top behavior, always taking any opportunity to escape from his persistent presence. Despite this, Ult does get along with Roy and considers him a close friend. As time passed, Ult's friendship with Roy would steadily grow, as their arguments have toned down and are able to tolerate each other.
[[File:Diana and Ult.png|250px|thumb|left|Ult and Diana]]
Ult is shown to be shy and easily flustered around people, having a hard time interacting with anyone as a result, but is comfortable around Pokémon. Although he can come out of his shell around men after he gets to know them, Ult mostly shows his shy side around women, as seen with [[Emma]] and [[Liko]]. His ineptitude at interacting with girls is displayed when Ult initially mistook [[Dot]] for a boy until [[Murdock]] explained that she is his niece, which caused Ult to freak out because he briefly held her hand before finding out. However, after the events in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', Ult became comfortable around Liko and developed an admiration for her compassion for Pokémon, even seeing her as a very good friend. Ult also became friends with Dot and gets along well with her, only clashing with her [[HZ128|once]]. During the events in ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'' and ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Ult came to respect [[Mollie]], as she didn't tell their teammates about him running away and gave him some advice when he returned. Also, Ult quickly befriended [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, after finding out that she used the [[Brave Olivine]]'s observation deck as a room as well. All of these interactions show that his kind nature can effectively overtake his shyness towards women once a friendship or connection has been established with them. Although his relationship with Emma seems complicated, Ult does respect her and consider her family, as she took him in and taught him how to read and write.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|Ult and his friends]]
At first, Ult had a hard time interacting with the older members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], due to not knowing them well and not spending time around people. However, after getting to know the older members, Ult comes to see them as his friends and is on good terms with them. Although, Ult mostly hangs out Roy, Liko, and Dot, as his strong friendship with them is part of the reason he [[HZ100|decided to join]] the Rising Volt Tacklers. As time passed, Ult comes to enjoy being a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and spends every chance he could to bond with his teammates. Upon meeting [[Friede]] formally in [[HZ122]] and hearing his story as to how he went to space, Ult started to admire him greatly, even going to the point of calling him "Master Friede". Ult is also impressed that Friede can use Mega Evolution with two of his Pokémon like he can with his partners. In addition, Ult decided that he wanted to be just like Friede, which has Roy, [[Orla]], Mollie, Liko, and Dot worried, due to the latter's tendencies to forget to give important details. Through his friendship with his teammates, Ult easily trusts their allies and friends, such as [[Amethio]]. Ult even comes to enjoy the freedom of flying the open sky with his friends and teammates.

Ult has changed for the better during his time as a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, but his tendency of wanting to battle and his enthusiasm has remained. He has also learned to be a team player and that true strength comes from protecting others, especially his friends. In addition, Ult has come to understand that he can't do everything alone and he can relay on his friends for help. Ult is even mellowing out, becoming less arrogant, and to not rush into things, as seen in [[HZ119]] and [[HZ120]]. His social skills has shown improvement and is overcoming his shyness around people by interacting with them more. He is also able to speak his mind with those around him without getting too upset. In addition, Ult has shown to be aware of his flaws and is determined to not only correct them, but to rise above them all.

Ult deep down prefers to battle all out with his Pokémon and is a kind person at heart, and seemingly has a strong moral code, disgusted by the use of [[Laquium]] in battle and helping Roy and Liko battle the [[Explorers]] without hesitation. This is also shown when Ult tells the Black Rayquaza to get better soon, as he only wanted to battle it at full strength. He ends up getting his wish to battle the Black Rayquaza at full strength in [[HZ129]]. Ult's good heart mainly shines through for his compassion and passion for Pokémon, although his adventures with his friends and teammates has brought that part of himself out further for people. He also means well and would do what he could to help his friends whenever they needed it.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Ult developed a strong dislike towards the Explorers and the way they treat Pokémon. Ult's detest for the Explorers grows after finding out that they have taken [[Lucius]]'s [[Six Heroes|remaining five Pokémon]] captive and gets angry at himself for not doing something when he saw his {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} trapped in boxes in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', but is [[HZ108|assured by his friends that his information]] is important for their mission. He is even able to see through the Explorers lies, as seen in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'' and [[HZ125]], due to not only seeing them for who they truly are, but also because of his friends and teammates stories about them.

Similar to Roy, Ult has shown to be rather gluttonous, which has caused him trouble before, like when he [[HZ101|tried to eat all]] of the food in [[Naranja Academy]] despite it not being for him. Ult also enjoys Murodck's food, especially his sweets. As shown in ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'' and ''[[HZ097|The Prankster]]'', Ult suffers from a form of motion sickness, causing him to feel unwell when riding certain vehicles such as buses or boats. Because of this, he feels more confortable sleeping in the Brave Olivine's observation room where he can see the sky outside. Ult isn't afraid to try new things, as shown in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when he decided to give surfing a try. He has even taken an interest of going into space after watching [[Ludlow]]'s Guy Silver's [[HZ121|space film]] and through Friede's experiences.

While Ult puts up a strong front, he can be intimidated by stronger opponents, as seen in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'' where his Sableye was overpowered by [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] under the influence of a [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]. After losing to five of the Six Heroes in the [[HZ111|next episode]], Ult became depressed, but quickly shakes it off and became motivated to get stronger in order to help them. Ult has also shown an emotional side, as seen in [[HZ129]] when he breaks down in tears that he didn't catch the Black Rayquaza. However, Ult easily cheered up and with humility accepted that the Sky High Pokémon picked Roy to be its Trainer fair and square. Ult's acceptances in not catching the Black Rayquaza demonstrates his growth as a person and Trainer.
[[File:Emma and Ult.png|250px|left|thumb|Ult and [[Emma]]]]
Prior to the events of the series, Ult was given a {{p|Dragonite}} in a [[Dusk Ball]] by [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]]. As the time passed, however, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out, which Ult may have taken as a sign that it did not recognize his strength. Since then, his goal was to become stronger in order to win its approval. It was once he displayed willingness to fight for others when Dragonite reacted and finally appeared before him. Despite this progress, Ult was still unsure if Dragonite truly approved of him, so he made it his goal to become the strongest in order to protect everyone. Since then, Dragonite has obediently come out of its Ball when asked, however, it has a [[Disobedience|tendency]] to act without its Trainer's commands. However, during the events in [[HZ117]], Ult and Dragonite start to work out their issues, which has them becoming on better terms.

Back in [[Kalos]] when he and Roy had their first battle with each other, Ult is shown to be impatient and reckless in battling as he continously told his Sableye to use Power Gem repeatedly not noticing it's getting overwhelmed by overusing the attack ultimately causing them to lost. After some advice from [[Master Mayonnaise]] and a battle with [[Count Oyster]] and [[Shōyu]], he was able to battle effectively with his Sableye and trusts it more. However, he can still be prone to comedic outburst as observed in [[HZ116]] when he refuses to accept [[Lacey]]'s advice to observe a Pokémon first before approaching and battling, and in the [[HZ117|next episode]] constantly getting frustrated at getting all answers wrong in her quiz, while his Sableye takes damage from her {{p|Excadrill}}. Although, Ult does eventually take Lacey's advice, as he used it to battle an Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Ult even used his [[Pokédex]] to help him in his time of need, as seen in [[HZ125]].

|desc={{p|Sableye}} is Ult's main partner. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into a Mega Sableye.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Sableye Mega Evolved in order to help [[Roy]]'s Pokémon defeat a [[Laquium]]-enhanced {{p|Slaking}}. In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Sableye was used to assist Roy and [[Liko]]'s Pokémon in battling two Laquium-enhanced {{p|Steelix}} by Mega Evolving. Sableye has also shown interest in eating [[Pagogo]], likely due to its crystalline body.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Sableye battled [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}, with Sableye dominating the battle despite its opponent's use of Laquium. Glalie ended up using {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing its own defeat and allowing Ult, Liko, and Roy to escape.

In ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Ult and Sableye were captured by [[Spinel]] and the Explorers at an [[Explorers base]]. After being saved by its Trainer, Sableye fled to meet Roy, who guided it there. Once there, Sableye battled with Roy's other Pokémon against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s Pokémon, and when all seemed lost, the group was saved by Ult's Dragonite, which used Mega Evolution for the first time under Ult's command.

In [[HZ117]], it was used to battle [[Lacey]]'s {{p|Excadrill}}, and was defeated.

Sableye's known moves are {{m|Power Gem}}, {{m|Throat Chop}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, and {{m|Shadow Sneak}}.}}

|desc={{p|Dragonite}} is Ult's second known Pokémon. It was given to him by [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]] and is kept in a [[Dusk Ball]]. It seems to only appear when Ult needs its help to protect others. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into a Mega Dragonite.

For a long time, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out of its Dusk Ball, resulting in Ult forgetting the identity of the Pokémon inside.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', reacting with Ult's willingness to fight for others, Dragonite appeared before him for the first time and quickly defeated [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], when Ult called for its strength in order to protect the ones he cares about, Dragonite appeared once again. This time, it Mega Evolved, allowing it to overpower the opposing {{p|Rabsca}}'s {{m|Gravity}} and defeat them. Alongside [[Roy]]'s Mega {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, it defeated the Explorers duo's {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} Darmanitan.

* In the Japanese version, Ult uses the pronoun "'''{{tt|俺様|おれさま}}''' (''ore-sama'')" meaning "my esteemed self" or "Mr. I", a highly informal way of referring to oneself, often used by fictional characters to express arrogance or self-importance.
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Dragonite}}, Ult uses the phrase "Break through with outrageous power!" (Japanese: '''トンデモパワーで全開突破ァ！！''' ''Break through with outrageous power!!'').

** He is also the first to Mega Evolve multiple Pokémon within a single [[series]].
*As revealed in [[HZ129]], according to rumours that [[Team Dragon Rampage]] have heard Ult has a heart shaped mole on his butt. Although it wasen't seen Ult's Sableye comfirms its existence.

'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has four [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', '''Complete Forme''', and '''Mega Zygarde'''.

Complete Forme Zygarde can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde using the [[Zygardite]]. Mega Zygarde was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s''', which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a [[Zygarde Cube]].

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] played an important role in {{aniseries|XY}} during the ''XY&Z'' arc.

Zygarde plays a central role in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], serving as a key figure in its storyline.

Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s it has assembled. Zygarde is responsible for monitoring the ecosystem of the [[Pokémon world]] for abnormalities, It has been referred to as a "guardian of the ecosystem"<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"It is said this Legendary Pokémon is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref> and "protector of the ecosystems"<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme]</ref> due to this role. It is capable of {{a|Aura Break|reversing}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"Kalosian Legends: Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, and Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos region. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> It can also use its Cells in attacks, either shooting them as {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} at its targets, or sending them crawling along the ground towards its targets as {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}}. It can also fire a {{m|Core Enforcer|powerful energy beam}} from its mouth at its targets, carving a Z on the ground in the process. Zygarde can fly in a blinding speed in all of its forms. Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Zygarde (Archived)]</ref> Zygarde is known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem, but can be wary of those it does not trust. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde can summon and control massive roots, which it can use to attack and cover areas. In the same episode, the green color on Zygarde's body changed to red while under the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the anime, Zygarde is shown to be capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.

Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.

===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.

[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Zygarde Core]]s serve as brains for Zygarde]]
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost indistinguishable. Both are small, green cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their body can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: a Core has a black pupil and a red hexagon on its abdomen, while these are both green on a Cell.
[[File:Zygarde Cells flying towards a Zygarde Core.png|right|thumb|250px|[[Zygarde Cell]]s flying towards a Zygarde Core]]
Zygarde Cores have wills of their own, while Cells do not, acting only in accordance to a Core's orders. In any form of Zygarde, the Cores act as brains. The Cells exist in much greater numbers than the Cores and tend to be scattered around the world. On their own, Cores and Cells do not have power to battle and need to be assembled in order to take action.<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde's Cores and Cells] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archive])</ref> A Zygarde may contain up to five Cores.

As depicted throughout {{aniseries|XY}}, Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells have the ability to turn invisible. Moreover, it revealed that a Core is able to watch over the ecosystem through the eyes of a Cell, can communicate telepathically with other Cores, and does not need to eat, instead absorbing sunlight for sustenance. As depicted in {{Aniseries|HZ}}, Cells are capable of transmitting what they see to anyone Zygarde wishes.

;10% Forme
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The 10% Forme resembles a canine and has impressive speed]]
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip.

Zygarde 10% Forme is created when a single Zygarde Core combines with only a tenth of the total Cells.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 10% Forme Zygarde]</ref> It is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming its opponents with its sharp fangs. It tends to leap at its opponent's chest and sinks its sharp fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than {{tt|60 mph|100 km/h}}. Since it has just one Core, it is able to act separately from Zygarde's 50% Forme, which comprises its main body, for a only short time before separating. Zygarde can wrap its "leash" around the arm of those it trusts, however, they can't remove it at will, which might cause them to be pulled when Zygarde runs. The 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon Site | Zygarde 10% Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archive])</ref>
{{left clear}}

;50% Forme
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing.

Zygarde 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting. Despite being at only half of its possible total, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way. The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | 50% Forme Zygarde] (Archived)</ref> There are rumors that even greater power lies hidden within it, being capable of {{A|Power Construct|changing}} to an even more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.

;Complete Forme
[[File:Zygarde Complete SM concept art.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Zygarde Complete Forme's complex physiology]]
Zygarde Complete Form is a large humanoid Pokémon. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body.

Zygarde Complete Forme is created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. It is said to be Zygarde's perfected form and is specialized for battle, allowing it to fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the Pokémon ecosystem. Zygarde Complete Forme uses this overwhelming power to suppress those who willingly endanger the ecosystem. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde Complete Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143718/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archive])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Zygarde is shown using the mouths of its tail and wings to attack with energy beams, propel itself, as well as restoring an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme]</ref> This form only appears to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s 50% Zygarde-like [[Giant Rock|construct]], the [[ultimate weapon]], {{form|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and Hyperrogue [[Ange]] {{p|Floette#Forms|Floette}}. The Complete Forme is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.

;Mega Zygarde
Mega Zygarde's body undergoes a dramatic transformation. Notably, it loses most of its body armor except for chest armor and an armored, crowned head to resemble a more humanoid and less dragon-like build. Its main body features a striking combination of dark and light green colors. Underneath the chest armor, there is a three-hexagon pattern, with two hexagons located on each of its legs. The legs and feet have a rhomboid shape topped with two triangular shapes. Additionally, each leg has two black hexagons and one white hexagon attached to its center. The arms resemble a two-fingered hexagonal hand. Mega Zygarde's tail connects to the chest armor like a cape, while the chest armor itself resembles tree roots. At the center of the chest armor, there are two long hexagonal shapes with three longer ones positioned to the sides. The chest armor features red and blue hexagons, each surrounded by three green hexagons. Mega Zygarde's head is adorned with a green headpiece shaped like flames. Its eyes are green as well, and the lower part of its eyes connects to the pink part of its chest armor. Only two black hexagons of Mega Zygarde remain, connected to two black squares at the bottom of the well. Surrounding the head is three-spiked neck armor at the front, which connects to two long black spikes and one triangular black spike behind the head.

One of its most distinguishing features is the giant, hammer-shaped cannon attached to Mega Zygarde's six 90-degree arms on its chest armor. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, decorated with several rectangular shapes and lines. At the center of the cannon, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Six rectangular shapes are attached to the back of the cannon. The interior of the cannon features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle.

Mega Zygarde was first discovered in [[Lumiose City]] and moves by levitating. This form of Zygarde was said to be born from the people's emotions during an unexpected crisis. In response, Mega Zygarde emerges to calm the situation with its unmatched power. When it attacks with its cannon, it maneuvers it using its six arms. The cannon then opens up, charging with a pink glow before unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|large laser blast}} at its foes that strikes even {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon. The cannon's blast was powerful enough to destroy a powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}} attack launched by Hyperrogue Ange Floette, which threatened to annihilate Lumiose City. After firing, the cannon closes and returns to the center of its head. The light emitted by the attack is said to defy all laws of nature. [[Lysandre|L]] notes that Mega Zygarde's unique attack resembles the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evovled]]-they reminded me of [[Z-Move]]s, like those used in the [[Alola]] [[region]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This similarity is attributed to Zygarde Cells that were scattered throughout the world at some point, as they absorbed some of the [[Z-Power]]. As a result, this process led to the creation of this distinctive move.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting Pokémon from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the [[Z-Power|power]] of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.

===Form data===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s also appear in the story of the [[Generation VII]] games, but they are not catchable Pokémon or registered in the Pokédex; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.

In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form was 50% Forme (unnamed at the time).

Since [[Generation VII]], all three forms are available. Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can be changed with the help of external tools: the [[Reassembly Unit]] and the Zygarde Cube. Zygarde can enter its Complete Forme during battle, and only if it has the Ability Power Construct.

The 10% Forme and 50% Forme of Zygarde can have the {{Abilities}} {{a|Aura Break}} or {{a|Power Construct}}. Internally, these are all separate forms. This makes it impossible to switch Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]] must be used instead.

;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde could only have Aura Break and had no forms.

In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break could be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine could create a 10% or 50% Zygarde with Aura Break or upgrade a 10% Zygarde with Aura Break to 50%; it could also upgrade either to a 50% Zygarde with Power Construct.

Since [[Generation VIII]], the [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.

;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change Forme"{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since [[Generation VIII]], its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.

Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.

=====[[Squishy]]=====
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and it subsequently came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with it and [[nickname]]d it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect the it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.

=====[[Z2]]=====
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', being contacted by [[Squishy]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] is revealed to own a {{Shiny|White}} Zygarde, which was first seen in its 10% Forme. In a flashback in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', it was revealed that it actually used to be a 50% Forme Zygarde, but it lost that form when it attempted to sacrificed most of its [[Zygarde Cell]]s to seal the [[Laquium]] crystals away in [[Laqua]], to protect the {{pkmn|world}}'s ecosystem from it. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it returned to Laqua alongside Gibeon, which allowed it to reunite with its Cells and regain its 50% Forme. In [[HZ088|the following episode]], it battled against [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Amethio]], but when it approved the group's strength, it forfeited the battle, disassembling into Cells and sadly abandoning Gibeon. A year after Gibeon passed away, in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', [[Hamber]] gave [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the mission to find and gather all of Zygarde's Cells.

=====Other=====
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.

====Minor appearances====
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.

A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]''. It first appeared in [[Anistar City]], where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Emma|Essentia]]. It was later used by her against [[Team Flare]]'s enemies at [[Pokémon Village]]. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting [[Lysandre]] to take direct control of Zygarde. When [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.

Zygarde also played a notable role in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. Having been sent to [[Alola]] to find it, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] hired {{adv|Sun}} to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the arc, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} at [[Mount Lanakila]] alongside {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

===Origin===
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to Zygarde's partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.

Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depicting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depicting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.

====Name origin====
"Zygarde" begins with the letter {{wp|Z}}, following the pattern established by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for joined) or ''zygote'', ''garde'' (French for guard), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).

'''Hawlucha''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルチャブル''' ''Luchabull'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

Hawlucha will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Hawlucha''' in the upcoming game {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Hawlucha is a bipedal, birdlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with colorful plumage. Its head curves into a beak-shape in the front, but its mouth is located in a white patch under the beak's curve. It has a blue-green mask-like marking across its face, an orange blaze running from its forehead to the back of its neck, an orange ring around each eye, and a small, red patch at the tip of its beak. There is black space around its eyes, which are yellow with paler yellow sclerae. On the back of its head are three rectangular, tassel-like feathers. Its red, cape-like wings have blue-green undersides and are connected to its feathery tail. Near the tip of each wing is a three-clawed hand. Its front is white with a line of red along its neck and the top of its chest. It has small, yellow feet with three toes each.

Hawlucha makes up for its small body with its proficiency in fighting, which allows it to keep up with bigger fighters such as {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Hariyama}}. It leaps around to stay in its opponent's blind spots and controls its position in the air by using its wings. A favored tactic is to strike from above because it is a difficult maneuver to defend against. However, Hawlucha has a tendency to show off in the heat of battle; opponents can exploit its vanity to gain the upper hand. Hawlucha prefer to live solitary lives in the forest without flocking together. In [[Paldea]], these traits often cause it to come into conflict with its natural enemy — the noisy {{p|Primeape}}.

Hawlucha is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Flying Press}} by leveling up.

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

Mega Hawlucha is considerably bulkier compared to Hawlucha, thanks to the energy of Mega Evolution coursing through its muscles.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-hawlucha Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Hawlucha] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Its face is black with a gold arrow-like pattern running down from the top, a gold coloration at its snout, and gold eyelash-like decorations around its blank white eyes, giving the impression of a luchador mask. Its head feathers have become longer, and it gains more plumage around its neck, legs (resembling shin guards), and waist (forming a "belt" around it). Its wings have also become sharper and more curved in shape. The three central plumes on its wings have an elaborate black-and-gold patterning on the back at their tips. Mega Hawlucha gains a large, golden chestplate with black stripes around the edges that covers its shoulders and forearms.

Mega Evolution increases Hawlucha's attacking and defensive capabilities, allowing it to use its muscles to tank hits from opponents' moves and to flex its strength. Mega Hawlucha's heightened defense also allows it to showboat and display its toughness and beauty, holding out its hands and spreading its wings without worrying about letting its guard down. By luring its opponent into attacking, it is able to retaliate with a flinch-inducing move before diving at them with its signature move.<ref name=ZAsite/>

* Hawlucha is the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
** As of [[Generation IX]], it is the only Pokémon that is in both the {{egg|Human-Like}} and {{egg|Flying}} Egg Groups.
* Mega Hawlucha was first teased in a short video titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYCOc3SiU7A FULL MATCH: Hawlucha vs. Machamp!]", which was released on August 28, 2025.

===Origin===
Hawlucha appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|bird of prey}} (its English name suggests it is based on a {{wp|hawk}}) and a {{wp|lucha libre|luchador}}, and may also draw inspiration from Aztec {{wp|eagle warrior}}s. The clawed wings resemble those of a juvenile {{wp|hoatzin}}. Its coloration may be based on the male {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}. Hawlucha's eagle-like design and green, white and red color scheme may be inspired by the {{wp|flag of Mexico}}, which fits its lucha libre inspiration. The gold color on Mega Hawlucha may be inspired by the {{wp|golden eagle|golden eagle}} featured on the flag.

Mega Hawlucha's face resembles various designs of {{wp|wrestling mask|luchador masks}}. The thin head feathers and covered eyes may also be inspired by {{wp|falconry training and technique|falconry hoods}}. It may also take further inspiration from Aztec culture, with ornamentation resembling Aztec ceremonial garb. Mega Hawlucha's mask seems to be based on professional wrestler [[wp:Rey_Mysterio|Rey Mysterio]].

====Name origin====
Hawlucha may be a combination of ''hawk'' and ''{{wp|lucha libre}}'', a form of Latin American professional wrestling.

Luchabull may be a combination of ''lucha libre'' and ''bull''.

'''Scovillain''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スコヴィラン''' ''Scovillain'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Capsakid}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

==Biology==
Scovillain is a monstrous, bipedal Pokémon which resembles a pepper plant. It has a dark-green body and a leafy growth surrounding its neck which resembles a collar. Two leafy arms grow out of this growth. It has a short tail and its feet end in a clawed toe at each side. Its two pepper-like heads are attached to its body by stems. The red head on the right has an angry expression, while the light green head on the left appears more mischievous. Both heads have black eyes, stick their tongues out, and possess sharp fangs, the bottom pairs of which protrude below their lower jaws.

Scovillain is described as a ferocious Pokémon whose rampage is unstoppable. The spicy chemicals in its brain stimulate both heads, turning the green head vicious while providing a source for the red head to convert into spicy, fiery energy, which it blasts its surroundings with. Scovillain is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spicy Extract}}. As shown in [[HZ102]], there exists Scovillain that have 2 green heads or 2 red heads but they are extremely rare

===Evolution===
Scovillain evolves from {{p|Capsakid}}.

{{-}}

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

==Trivia==
* Scovillain is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}, and the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|green}} Fire-type Pokémon.
* Scovillain is the only Pokémon with {{a|Chlorophyll}} that is not weak to {{type|Fire}} attacks, which have increased power under [[harsh sunlight]].
* Excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]], whose names are often the same in all localizations of Pokémon games, Scovillain is the only [[Generation IX]] Pokémon whose English and Japanese names are the same.
* Of all Pokémon (or Pokémon evolutionary lines) who {{DL|List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|List of Pokémon with formerly unique type combinations|formerly had unique type combinations}}, Scovillain held its unique typing for the shortest period of time. When {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} launched on November 18, 2022, Scovillain's Grass/Fire type was unique, but it lost this distinction with the release of [[The Teal Mask]] and {{form|Ogerpon|Hearthflame Mask}} {{p|Ogerpon}} on September 13, 2023 — 299 days later.

===Origin===
Scovillain seems to be based on a {{wp|chili pepper}} plant. The red head seems to be based on a ripe, mature chili, while the green head seems to represent an immature chili that is not as pungent. The shape of the heads seems to be based on the {{wp|habanero}} (as alluded to by its Japanese {{pkmn|category}}) or the {{wp|Carolina Reaper}} (the spiciest chili in the world at the time of debut).

Scovillain's red head being the only one to produce spicy and fire energy may allude to the {{wp|Padrón pepper}}, a variety of pepper cultivated in Galicia, Spain. The flavor of these peppers can vary from mild to very spicy, which has given way to the Galician saying ''"Os pementos de Padrón, uns pican e outros non"'' ("Padrón peppers, some are hot, some are not").

Scovillain's appearance and behavior also suggest inspiration from {{wp|kaiju}} or the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}. Its draconic and plant-like features may also be inspired by the {{wp|Antirrhinum majus|snapdragon}}.

Its polarized expressions may be based on the {{wp|sock and buskin}} theater masks, with the green and red heads representing {{wp|Thalia (Muse)|Thalia}} (muse of comedy) and {{wp|Melpomene}} (muse of tragedy), respectively.

====Name origin====
Scovillain may be a combination of ''Scoville'' (as in the {{wp|Scoville scale}}, the measurement scale for chili pepper pungency) and ''villain''.

'''Meowscarada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マスカーニャ''' ''Masquernya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Meowscarada flower stem.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Liko's Meowscarada]] binding {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} with her flower stem]]
Meowscarada is a humanoid feline Pokémon with light green fur covering most of its body—stopping just above its long, dark green legs—and a short, fluffy tail. The fur is especially longer around its ears, thighs, and arms, the latter resembling poofy sleeves. Its face has lazy pink eyes and a small pink nose, and is covered in a four-pointed mask-like shape, with a pattern of three green diamonds on it. Its ears are curiously more droopy compared to its pre-Evolutions, its mask instead giving the impression of perked-up cat ears. Each of Meowscarada's hands has three fingers tipped with green claws, as well as a pink paw pad. On its neck is a pink collar resembling flower petals. This collar holds together its cape, which grows from the leaves it had around its neck as {{p|Floragato}}.<ref name=SVsite/> The cape is lined with reflective fur, is black on the outside and green on the inside, and splits into two near the base, with both parts of the cape ending in {{wp|fleur-de-lis}} shapes.

Meowscarada is said to be a talented magician. Meowscarada carries a four-petaled green flower, whose stem is hidden by the reflective fur on its cape, creating the illusion of floating. As seen in {{aniseries|HZ}}, the flower stem can be used to bind opponents in battle. The flower can blossom into a round, pollen-filled flower bomb, with a two-tone green and black zigzag pattern on the outside, and six petals adorning the top. In a battle, Meowscarada uses skillful misdirection to stealthily plant these flower bombs onto various surfaces around its unaware foes before setting them off, catching their opponents off guard.<ref name=SVsite/> As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Meowscarada occasionally attempts to perform magic while it sleeps. However, this performance tends to not go as planned.

Meowscarada has a proud, showy personality; however, it is also sensitive and prone to jealousy. It can often be very attached to its Trainer, and it will become upset if its Trainer gives attention to other Pokémon.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/meowscarada/ Meowscarada — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Meowscarada is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Flower Trick}}.

===Evolution===
Meowscarada evolves from {{p|Floragato}} and is the final form of {{p|Sprigatito}}.

==Trivia==
* Meowscarada has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all fully [[Evolution|evolved]] [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Meowscarada's [[type]] combination, [[Grass (type)|Grass]]/[[Dark (type)|Dark]], has the most weaknesses out of all fully [[Evolution|evolved]] [[first partner Pokémon]], at seven (six 2× weaknesses and a 4× weakness).

===Origin===
Meowscarada appears to be based on a {{wp|feline}} — possibly the {{wp|Iberian lynx}} — and a {{wp|Magic (illusion)|magician}}, with its high Speed and Dark typing likely inspired by the {{wp|sleight of hand}} needed to create a convincing act. Its category and signature move, {{m|Flower Trick}}, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|Hat-trick (magic trick)|magic trick}} of making flowers appear. Meowscarada's mask and ears are also reminiscent of the {{wp|Cap and bells|cap}} worn by {{wp|jester}}s, and the diamonds on its mask may be intended to evoke the {{wp|Harlequin}} stock character and those used in {{wp|French-suited playing cards}}. With its round shape and six prominent petals, Meowscarada's flower resembles a {{wp|pomegranate}}, a fruit of particular cultural importance in certain regions of Spain, such as {{wp|Granada}}. This ties into its nature as an explosive, as {{wp|grenade}}s are named for their resemblance to pomegranates.

Meowscarada also seems to take inspiration from a {{wp|masquerade ball}}, which originated in the court culture of {{wp|Duchy of Burgundy|Burgundy}} in the 15th century and quickly diffused to France, the {{wp|Habsburg monarchy}}, and Spain following succession issues. It could be also inspired by the masks commonly seen in {{wp|Mardi Gras}} celebrations, and its round flower could be inspired by the throws typical of {{wp|Mardi Gras in New Orleans}}.

Meowscarada's magician motif and Dark typing may also be a reference to the {{wp|gentleman thief}} archetype (otherwise known as the phantom thief), a trope popularized by {{wp|Maurice Leblanc}}'s famous character {{wp|Arsène Lupin}}, whose elaborate heists are seemingly inspired by magicians and magic shows. The {{Shiny}} colorations of Meowscarada and its pre-evolutions appear as if their regular colorations are cast under moonlight — artistic depictions of magic shows, masquerade balls, and phantom thief-style heists commonly depict the characters taking part in it bathing in the moonlight or standing under the moon.

====Name origin====
Meowscarada may be a combination of ''meow'' and ''mascarada'' (Spanish and Portuguese for masquerade).

Masquernya may be a combination of ''masquerade'' and ニャー ''nyā'' (onomatopoeia for meowing).

[[File:Poké Balls.png|thumb|250px|The 28 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]] (excluding those exclusive to Pokémon Legends: Arceus)]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world.

Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every [[Pokémon Center]]. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==In the core series games==
The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

===History===
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruits were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood.

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

===Mechanics and design===
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device is destroyed in the games (unlike in the animated series). A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

When a Trainer [[Dynamax]]es or [[Gigantamax]]es a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

In some games, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Sticker]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

===Poké Ball accuracy===
:''See also: [[Catch rate]]''

In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the {{ScPkmn}}!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{LGPE}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectrier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball at a wild {{Tera}} Pokémon until it is sufficiently weakened, breaking through its transformation.

===Types of Poké Balls===
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 34 (38 if the Hisuian Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Heavy Ball are considered distinct from their modern-day counterparts) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball. This also applies if the parents are different [[regional form]]s. Much like the Cherish Ball or Master Ball, the Strange Ball introduced in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be inherited and resulting offspring will be in standard Poké Balls.

Regardless of the type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

Starting in [[Generation III]], each type of Poké Ball has an [[index number]] associated with it that is stored in the [[Pokémon data substructures (Generation III)#Origins|data structure]] of the Pokémon when {{pkmn2|caught}} or otherwise obtained with a given type of ball. [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] did not store this data, resulting in any Pokémon [[transfer]]red from [[Virtual Console]] via [[Poké Transporter]] being placed into standard Poké Balls. Pokémon caught in [[Park Ball]]s within [[Pal Park]] will retain their original Poké Ball and index number from Generation III. Pokémon from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} caught in a Johto-exclusive Poké Ball (such as a Poké Ball made by [[Kurt]] or a Sport Ball) will be displayed in a standard Poké Ball while visiting {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Pokémon originating from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} which are then transferred into another game (vice versa for those caught outside Legends: Arceus and then transferred in) will be displayed in [[Strange Ball]]s while visiting a game where the Pokémon's ball is not programmed into the game, but will still retain its original index number. Pokémon originating from Legends: Arceus visiting {{g|Sword and Shield}} will temporarily have their ball converted into a standard Poké Ball, with their original ball data being stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]'s server.

Every Poké Ball (except the Beast Ball and Master Ball) has a 0.1× catch rate modifier when attempting to catch an [[Ultra Beast]].

| In [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]] only, there is a glitch that causes the retrieved weights of Pokémon whose index numbers are divisible by 64 ({{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}) to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier. In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than 220.46 lbs (100.0 kg) and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied.

===Other variants===
{{incomplete|section|Add image of the blue Poké Ball from the Poké Transfer}}
* In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] mentions that his [[Parcel]] contains a custom Poké Ball. However, this is not said in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Item]]s pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.

===Palette limitations===
In the games, certain Poké Balls appear off-color due to palette limitations. They are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls rather than variations.

* In [[Generation I]], during a [[Pokémon battle]], the multiple kinds of Poké Ball have different throwing animations but otherwise look the same. They all appear with a black top and white bottom. This black and white design is clearly seen when the Poké Ball is shaking in an attempt to catch the wild Pokémon.
** In [[Generation II]], all kinds of Poké Ball look the same when used in-battle except they have different color palettes. Unlike in the previous generation, all Poké Balls use the same throwing animation.
** In both Generations I and II, the Poké Ball changes color once the wild Pokémon is successfully caught, shortly appearing with the color palette of the caught Pokémon. For instance, no matter what kind of Poké Ball, it appears to be green once a green Pokémon is caught, or pink once a pink Pokémon is caught.
* In Generation I, the [[trade]] animation invariably displays both Pokémon using the Poké Ball design with the black top and white bottom, the same design seen in Pokémon battles.
** In Generation II, the trade animation uses a red color palette for both traded Pokémon, specifically a darker red at the top and a lighter red at the bottom.
* In the Generations from I to {{gen|III}}, several Trainer sprites have off-color Poké Balls. They often reuse the same colors seen elsewhere in the sprites such as the character's hair or clothes.

[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the item that is found (whenever or not it's a Poké Ball). Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In {{LGPE}}, fake item balls appear upside down.

===Game icons===
Poké Balls are often featured in the icons for Pokémon games, which are used on the home screens for the [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], and [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].

==In the side series games==
[[File:Snag Ball.png|thumb|250px|[[Wes]] about to throw a [[Great Ball]] turned into a Snag Ball]]
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.

It is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field, unlike catching Pokémon in the core series games.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls have existed in Pokémon GO's coding since release, but they didn't debut until May 22, 2023, as a reward from the Let's GO! [[Special Research]]. Future opportunities to get Master Balls are planned.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/masterball/ Never miss with the Master Ball—coming soon to Pokémon GO!]</ref>

GO Safari Balls will debut in Pokémon GO on November 16, 2024 at Pokémon GO Wild Area. The GO Safari Ball will be made available in Pokémon GO during the [[List of events in Pokémon GO|GO Wild Area event]]. They have a higher catch rate. When this event is active, players will receive GO Safari Balls from Timed Research and can use them in wild encounters.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/tickets Tickets – Pokémon GO]</ref> All unused GO Safari Balls expire and disappear from the player's [[Bag]] at the end of each day of the event.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/gameplay Event Gameplay – Pokémon GO]</ref><ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/global Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global]</ref> Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls are unable to be sent to Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]].

===Pokémon Snap===
[[File:Pester Ball.png|thumb|A Pester Ball]]
In {{g|Snap}}, the [[Pester Ball]]s appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance. However, they are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact.

===Pokémon UNITE===
[[File:UNITEPokeBall.PNG|thumb|left|250px|A Unite Ball catching a Pokémon]]
In {{g|UNITE}}, Trainers use regular Poké Balls to send out their own Pokémon, after they have been [[fainting|knocked out]] in battle. (At the start of a Unite Battle, all Pokémon are present on the field.) During the game's tutorial, a {{UNITE|Pikachu}} from the [[Aeos Research Institute]] is sent out from a Poké Ball twice. This happens before Tutorial (Basics 1) and Tutorial (Basics 2).

A unique variety of Poké Ball, the '''Unite Ball''', is used as part of Unite Battles. (They are also known as '''Aeos Balls''') Unite Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Unite Ball a "U" design. Each Trainer has a Unite Ball, and uses it to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the [[wild Pokémon]] their Pokémon [[fainting|knocks out]] in Unite Battles. After doing so, the Unite Ball stores the [[Aeos energy]] the Pokémon held. The stored energy is used by Pokémon to score at [[goal zone]]s. At the start of an Unite Battle, the player's Unite Ball only holds a maximum of 30 Aeos energy. After their Pokémon reaches [[Level]] 9, the capacity increases to 40. At level 12, the capacity is boosted again to 50. Trainers only have one Unite Ball canonically, and the interface only depicts a single Unite Ball. Regardless, Trainers throw a Unite Ball for every wild Pokémon defeated even if more than one is defeated at the same time.

In [[Mer Stadium|Mer Stadium's Catch 'Em]] battles, certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball to temporarily take the place of their selected Pokémon. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items}}. Additionally, after enough time has passed, the Battle Item will return to normal and that Pokémon will not be able to be switched into battle. If the captured Pokémon is sent out, a timer is set. When that timer elapses or the Pokémon faints, the Trainer's original Pokémon is sent back into battle from its Poké Ball. Defeating a Wild Pokémon while currently using a [[Caught Pokémon]] does not allow the player to switch to the defeated Wild Pokémon.

In [[Shivre City (Panic Parade)|Panic Parade]], certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them and a Aeos Ball icon over their heads. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items|Battle Item}}, and after using the Battle Item will return to normal. (Although "normal" in Panic Parade means no Battle Item at all.) If another item is picked up or another capturable Pokémon is captured, the first Pokémon is lost. The sent out Pokémon wanders to the nearest opposing Pokémon, uses their [[Unite Move]], then is recalled and leaves the battle.

Unite Balls (mislabeled Poké Balls) are used as part of the Prize Machine menu. By throwing Unite Balls at one of the items on display, the prize gauge for that item is increased. When the prize gauge of an item is full, the item is obtained. A single Unite Ball has a 66% chance to add 1 unit to the prize gauge, a 30% chance to add 2 units to the prize gauge, a 3.3% chance to add 3 units, a 0.6% chance to add 5 units, and a 0.1% chance to add 10 units. Players have two Unite Balls to use in this menu. After using a Unite Ball, players must wait 12 hours before it can be used again. Players can spend {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Aeos gems}} to hasten this timer. Some events provide additional Unite Balls in the Prize Machine menu, under the umbrella name '''No-cost Holiday Balls'''. When available, only 10 of these Poké Balls can be obtained per day, and they are lost if they are not used before the next day begins. Usually there is a cap on the number of No-cost Holiday Balls obtainable per event, with that cap usually being 100. Sometimes, these additional Unite Balls have alternate names, such as '''Holiday Balls''' or '''Anniversary Balls'''. (Oddly, the menu's text states that "Poké Balls always hit their target..." in this mode, even though Unite Balls have never been shown to miss in any media.)

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade}}
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the {{i|Poké Ball}}, [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

The bonus points are as follows:
* The {{i|Poké Ball}} has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|Concept art of a Poké Ball for {{aniseries|OS}}]]
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#Ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materializes nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in ''Pokémon the Series''. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On A Friend]]'', an old Poké Ball was shown to bind the Pokémon caught with it, a {{p|Ninetales}}, to staying close to it, making it unable to leave its home until the Poké Ball was broken. This seems to be a quality unique to this particular Poké Ball, as later series have featured Pokémon venturing a long distance away from their Poké Balls, such as [[Goh's Suicune]], which was able to remain as a [[roaming Pokémon]] despite not leaving [[Goh]]'s ownership.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also been shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in {{LGPE}}, when the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though he may have lost his "mark" when he abandoned his previous Trainer by refusing to return to his old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while he still held his loyalty, despite his weakened state.

[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. A similar mechanism is suggested to exist in the games, with the Paradise Protection Protocol issuing a lock signal that disables the use of any Poké Balls that do not have a specific ID.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the ''Pokémon the Series''.

Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will return to the Trainer, who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon.

It has sometimes been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. ''Pokémon the Series'' has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a [[rice ball]] when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

As shown in [[HZ089]], when a trainer dies their Pokeballs automatically release all Pokemon back into the wild.

====Types of Poké Balls====
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|left|250px|A regular Poké Ball in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the series, which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in ''Pokémon the Series'', usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the animated series was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of {{aniseries|SM}}, possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in ''Pokémon the Series'', first appearing in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Islands]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the animated series]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in ''Pokémon the Series'', and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.

[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first animated series appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first animated series appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'').

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in ''Pokémon the Series''; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the series, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

=====Other variants=====
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in ''Pokémon the Series'', specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}}, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Balls", two huge Poké Balls made of stone used to seal away a destructive {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Claydol}} that had caused devastation on [[Izabe Island]] in the past. One of the balls was destroyed by {{TRT}}, who wanted to get their hands on Claydol. When it proved to be uncontrollable, the trio was forced to team up with Ash and his friends in order to reseal it within the second ball.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by Team Rocket. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In {{aniseries|JN}}, starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.

====History====
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several {{aniseries|PTS}} episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

Poké Balls in {{aniseries|HZ}} work the same way they do in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

====Other variants====
* In ''[[HZ029|Orla and the Poké Ball Smith]]'', several custom-made Poké Balls created by [[Karna]] were shown. These include the Rocket Ball, which has miniature rocket engines that boost its speed; the Boomerang Ball, which curves back around once thrown; the Bomb-Bomb Ball, which has a fuse that lights up when the ball is about to be thrown and causes the ball to explode when it burns out; the Chase Ball, which homes in on the target Pokémon on a set of wheels; and an unnamed Ball that Karna gave to [[Orla]] as a gift at the end of the episode.
* In [[HZ075]], [[Gibeon]] was revealed to keep his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] in a Poké Ball that resembles those used by [[Lucius]].

====Ancient Poké Ball====
[[File:Roy Ancient Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|Ancient Poké Ball in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
[[File:Ancient Poké Ball HZ.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Concept art of the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s Ancient Poké Ball for '' Pokémon Horizons: The Series'']]
The search for these Poké Balls is an important plot within {{aniseries|HZ}}. The only known Ancient Poké Balls all belonged to the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]], who used them to capture the members of the [[Six Heroes]]. In addition to capturing Pokémon, they seem to have unique powers and react to certain stimuli, like [[Rystal]]'s {{p|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]], and Lucius's other Ancient Poké Balls.

=====History=====
These Poké Balls were used before the modern ones 100 years ago. The Ancient Adventurer Lucius is the only known {{pkmn|trainer}}s to have used these Poké Balls to catch his Pokémon, the Six Heroes. After the end of his journey, Lucius reached the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]] and his Ancient Poké Balls were scattered all around the {{pkmn|world}} along with his Pokémon. At some point, [[Black Rayquaza|his Rayquaza]]'s Poké Ball ended up at the shores of [[Roy's hometown|an island]], where it was found by [[Roy's grandfather|a man]], who later gave it to his grandson [[Roy]].

Roy is in possession of one of Lucius's Ancient Poké Balls thanks to his grandfather. It first appeared in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', where Roy mentioned how he had never managed to open it. In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', the ball reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal a Black Rayquaza that flew away soon after. In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', another identical Ancient Poké Ball appeared around a giant {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}'s neck. In the [[HZ012|next episode]], this Poké Ball was revealed to be under the possession of Arboliva, and that it was owned by Lucius as well. Another Ancient Poké Ball appeared under the possession of the Lucius's {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}, between its talons. Another Ancient Poké Ball appeared under the possession of Lucius's giant {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, in the island it lives in a [[Lapras Sea|sea]]. Another Ancient Poké Ball appeared under the possession of Lucius's {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}, in a cave in [[Tengu Mountain]]. Another Ancient Poké Ball appeared under the possession of Lucius's {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, hidden between its fur.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|left|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.

==In live-action media==
===The Strength of the Master===
In the Brazilian music video [[The Strength of the Master]], there are CGI-animated Poké Balls with the stylized "E" logo of the performer Eliana.

The Eliana Poké Balls are sometimes seen slowly floating or flying fast in the air, and often used as screen transitions during the music video. Eliana is also shown throwing this Poké Ball. The Eliana Poké Balls usually appear in a red version (but with the white half at the top, as opposed to the regular Poké Ball), but there is also a blue version.

At some point, two Eliana Poké Balls float in the air and glow in front of a boy and a girl, magically causing them to wear cosplays of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

==In the manga==
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the animated series, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
[[File:Enormo Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|The Enormo Poké Ball-X1]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the animated series; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.
{{-}}

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the animated series, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the animated series and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the animated series. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Blake gave {{adv|Whitley}} a Quick Ball to catch a {{p|Karrablast}}. In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}.

Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]].

Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Blake, who was disguised as Colress, as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s. Sun used one to catch his {{p|Stakataka}} in ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]''.

Like in the games, but unlike the animated series, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

====Variants====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls appeared in the {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}, being used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[first partner Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Many variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG. Generally, Poké Balls are depicted as {{TCG|Item card}}s that search the player's [[deck]] for {{TCG|Pokémon}} and put them into the player's [[hand]]. Many Poké Ball cards require some number of successful {{TCG|coin}} flips in order to allow for the search to succeed, but some cards use the order of the player's [[deck]] to create inconsistency instead. There are even Poké Ball cards that are guaranteed to work, but these cards are balanced by only finding specific subsets of Pokémon, requiring some cost to be paid, or having another drawback.

Some cards, such as {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Apricorn Maker|121}} and {{TCG ID|Shining Fates|Ball Guy|57}}, refer to Poké Ball cards as a group, using the phrase "Item cards that have the word “Ball” in their name". This phraseology excludes cards with "Balloon" in their name even though they otherwise meet the criteria. (An example of an excluded card was {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Bursting Balloon|97}}, before the [[errata]] that changed {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s to be a subtype of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s rather than Item cards.)

===List of Poké Ball cards based on the games===
* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It requires the player to flip a coin and if it is successful, it searches the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} and puts it in the player's hand.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would debut in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for any single Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card}} that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon. This effect is similar to Ultra Ball, but without the discard cost.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon and put it into their hand. It is effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first released in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa. The Quick Ball was rereleased in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion with a different effect, requiring players to discard 1 card in order to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first released in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from that of the pre-Plasma Blast version of Master Ball: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first released in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon who has a [[Retreat Cost]] of 3 or more and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also first released in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Dive Ball|125}}, released only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a {{ct|Water}} Pokémon and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, released only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first released in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto their Bench.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, first released in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a number of Evolution Pokémon equal to the number of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first released in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first released in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first released in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first released in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first released in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first released in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Twilight Masquerade|Love Ball|156}}, first released in {{TCG|Twilight Masquerade}}, is similar in effect to Friend Ball, except it allows the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same name (instead of the same type) as one of the opponent's Pokémon, and put it into their hand.

===List of Poké Balls original to the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is two Poké Balls together, and has a similar (but not identical) effect to using two Poké Ball cards. The player flips two coins then searches their deck for one Basic Pokémon per heads result.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is a [[Team Magma]] variation of the Poké Ball, released only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. First, the player flips a coin. If it has a heads result, the card allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon. If that coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is a [[Team Aqua]] variation of the Poké Ball, also released only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It has the same effect as the Team Magma Ball, but searches for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, released in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. It allows the player to search their deck for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is a [[Team Plasma]] variation of the Poké Ball, released in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search their deck for a {{TCG|Team Plasma}} Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is a Team Magma variation on the Great Ball, released in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a Basic {{e|Fighting}} Energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is a Team Aqua variation on the Great Ball, also released in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a Basic {{e|Water}} Energy.

==In the novels==
===Pocket Monsters: The Animation===
In [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], it is said that Poké Balls were invented in 1925 by [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Nishinomori]].

==In the guidebooks==
According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

==In real life==
The Pokémon Company has occasionally partnered with certain companies in order to create certain products. This includes Poké Balls.
*The Pokémon Company has collaborated with {{wikipedia|Tiffany & Co.}} in order to make a Poké Ball that also acts as a jewelry case.
<gallery>

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the animated series had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* In the earlier volumes of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Poké Balls captured and released Pokémon in large puffs of smoke, often with a strong sound effect. This may have been based on the capture and release animations in Generation I and II. As [[Generation III]] onwards exchanged the smoke effect for Ball-specific animations, the effect in the manga shifted instead to bursts of light.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in Generation III, all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]] and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, customizable special effects are available through [[Sticker]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.
* [[Generation VI]] is the only completed generation to date to not have introduced a new type of Poké Ball.

'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨノワール''' ''Yonoir'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dusclops}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Reaper Cloth]]. It is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:477Dusknoir Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Dusknoir with its mouth open]]
Dusknoir is a primarily black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that somewhat resembles a cyclops. Its cylindrical head is light gray with a single eye that has a yellow iris and a red pupil. Its eyelid resembles a smiling mouth, with its red eye being a tongue. There is a yellow band near the top of its head, and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extends from on top. Six flat projections extend from the base of its neck and surround its head, resembling an {{wp|upturned collar}}. Dusknoir has well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso are two almond-shaped markings, and on its back are two circular markings. Both sets of markings resemble eyes. A yellow band encircles its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It has a wispy tail in place of feet.

The antenna on Dusknoir's head allows it to receive transmissions from the [[Ghost World|spirit world]], which tell it to bring people there. Dusknoir usually appears to those who are dead and bring their souls to the afterlife. Because of this, people highly fear Dusknoir. Sometimes, Dusknoir may accidentally take away the souls of those still alive, though this rarely happens. However, the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' has shown it protecting innocent people from being taken to the spirit world. It is unknown if Dusknoir has a will of its own, or if it is forced to follow the bidding of the transmissions it receives. The band on its body can open, similar to a mouth. Dusknoir is capable of using its belly mouth to swallow its target whole. It also uses this ability to take spirits into its body and carry them home or as it travels to unknown places. Dusknoir only consumes spectral essence, leaving only the empty remains of living beings untouched. As shown in [[HZ083|HZ83]] Dusknoir can eat with the mouth on its stomach.

===Evolution===
Dusknoir evolves from {{p|Dusclops}} and is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.

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

===Origin===
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the {{wp|Yamawaro}} may also have been the inspiration for this Pokémon. Like Dusclops, due to its round shape and a single eye, it may also be based on the {{wp|Chōchin-obake}}, while it guiding lost spirits to the spirit world is similar to the {{wp|Death (personification)|Grim Reaper}} guiding deceased people to the {{wp|afterlife}}. The face on its belly may be based on {{wp|Jack-o-lantern}}s. Its ability to receive transmissions from the world of spirits may be based on paranormal explanations for {{wp|Electronic voice phenomenon#Explanations and origins|electronic voice phenomena}}.

====Name origin====
Dusknoir may be a combination of ''dusk'' and ''noir'' (French for black).

Yonoir may be a combination of 妖魔 ''yōma'' (ghost) or 夜 ''yoru'' (night) and ''noir''.

'''Ceruledge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソウブレイズ''' ''Soublades'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charcadet}} when exposed to a set of [[Malicious Armor]]. It is one of Charcadet's final forms, the other being {{p|Armarouge}}.

==Biology==
Ceruledge is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, with blue colorations on its head, arms and legs. Its head has sharp pale blue "ears" protruding from either side, and has a fire burning above it that resembles the plume on a knight's helmet. Its eyes have pink irises and wisps emanating from its white pupils. Almost all of Ceruledge's body is covered in an old dark purplish blue suit of armor, filled with grudges.<ref name=SVsite /> A plate with three pink indentations on its center covers Ceruledge's face. Instead of hands, Ceruledge wields purple-cyan blades created from both fire and ghost energy — specifically, the lingering regrets of the deceased. These blades can grow into great swords in battle, increasing Ceruledge's power in the process.<ref name=SVsite />

Ceruledge is merciless and will do anything to win a battle. It prefers to do close-quarters combat, with a mix of sneak and surprise attacks. By using its quick speed to locate a foe's blind spots, it will then move closer before slashing them with its large swords. Any cuts from Ceruledge's swords will cause wounds that leak life energy, which the swords then absorb.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ceruledge/ Ceruledge — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]</ref>

As show in HZ065 Ceruledge can retract its blades when not in use. Its blades can still emit heat even when not in battle, at least enough heat to provide warmth for its trainer in cold enviroments.

Ceruledge is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Bitter Blade}}.

===Evolution===
Ceruledge evolves from {{p|Charcadet}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Armarouge}}.

==Trivia==
* Ceruledge and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231117163306/https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1725529436752326916 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on November 17, 2023 (archived).</ref>
* Ceruledge has the same base stat values as its counterpart {{p|Armarouge}}, but with their assignments reversed between HP and Speed, Attack and Special Attack, and Defense and Special Defense.

===Origin===
Ceruledge may be based on a possessed suit of armor. Its design could also be based on medieval heroic tales of European knights, specifically on the poem ''{{wp|Cantar de mio Cid|El Cantar de mio Cid}}''. The poem relates the legend of the Spanish knight {{wp|El Cid}}, known for wielding two famous swords, {{wp|Tizona}} and {{wp|Colada}}; and is said to have won his most important battle after death, which would explain Ceruledge's Ghost typing.

Ceruledge could also be potentially based on an ''{{wp|Akuma (folklore)|akuma}}'', a Japanese fire spirit often depicted carrying a sword. It may also take some inspiration from {{wp|jinn}}, humanoid fire spirits of Arabic mythology.

====Name origin====
Ceruledge may be a combination of ''{{wp|cerulean}}'' (a shade of dark blue) and ''edge''.

Soublades may be a combination of 蒼 ''sō'' (azure) or ''soul'' and ''blades''. It may also involve ''blaze'' or レイス ''reisu'' (wraith).

'''Terapagos''' (Japanese: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a [[List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series|recurring Pokémon character]] that was originally a pendant gifted to [[Liko]] by her grandmother [[Diana]] in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Terapagos Terastal Form Diary.png|250px|thumb|left|A sketch of Terapagos in its Terastal Form in [[Lucius]]'s old diary]]
[[File:Young Diana.png|250px|thumb|right|Young [[Diana]] finding Terapagos in the form of a pendant in the attic of her home]]
===History===
====Pre-series====
According to [[Diana]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', 100 years prior to the events of the series, {{p|Terapagos}} met and travelled alongside the ancient adventurer, [[Lucius]] and the [[Six Heroes]] during their journey to reach the Pokémon paradise, [[Laqua]]. At some point, Lucius also sketched Terapagos's Terastal Form in his diary. After the end of Lucius's adventure, Terapagos fell into a deep slumber, taking the form of a pendant. Somehow, in its dormant state, Terapagos was left in [[Diana]]'s home alongside Lucius's diary within a briefcase.

Many years later, Terapagos was discovered by Diana as a pendant within a briefcase stored away in the attic of her home when she was a young girl. Unaware that it was a Pokémon, Diana began her journey together with her {{DL|Diana|Growlithe}} and the dormant Terapagos around her neck, hoping to uncover the mysterious past of the Ancient Adventurer Lucius. It remained completely dormant in her possession until she gifted it to her granddaughter [[Liko]] one year before the events of the series, telling her that it would become important to her in the future. Some time after this, [[Hamber]], an old friend of Diana's, would offer to introduce her to [[Gibeon|someone]] who could help her with her adventures. However, when he would arrive at her home in [[Hammerlocke]], she learned that Hamber was a member of a suspicious organization known as the [[Explorers]] that wanted the pendant for an unknown purpose. Fearing for her granddaughter's safety as it was now in her possession, she enlisted the help of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect her.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos awakening and meeting [[Liko]] and {{DL|Liko|Sprigatito}} for the first time ]]
Terapagos first appeared in its dormant state in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. During her stay at [[Indigo Academy]], Liko was approached by [[Amethio]], who claimed he was sent by Diana to retrieve and return the pendant to her. Finding the situation suspicious, Liko instead took the pendant and fled her dormitory. Later, after being cornered by Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]], Liko was rescued by a man named [[Friede]]. While Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} battled Amethio's {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, Liko took the opportunity to escape just as a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} flew towards her. The pendant glowed and created a protective barrier, protecting Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from harm. Inside the barrier, Liko briefly saw Terapagos's true form before it reverted back into its pendant state.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', during her search for {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, she found a tree stump with eaten {{Berries}}. The wild Pokémon in the forest believed that she and her Sprigatito had eaten them and began to chase her. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow alongside Roy's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} as he approached them and helped them escape.

In [[HZ005|the next episode]], the [[Explorers]] would attack the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Liko and her Sprigatito were able to defeat Onia in battle, but she was then attacked by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting captured by its talons before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], creating another barrier to protect her. Just then, Liko's pendant and Roy's Ancient Poké Ball reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball, a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] was released. The Explorers were then forced to retreat, and the Rayquaza stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to continue looking into her pendant's mystery as the Rising Volt Tacklers traveled to [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after helping Arboliva restore the [[Arboliva's Forest]], Terapagos, in its dormant state, began to glow, transforming itself into its Normal Form. This caused Arboliva to share a vision of a [[Lucius|mysterious man]] to the group. After the vision was shown, Terapagos reverted back to its pendant form and Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, allowing Liko to take it under her care. Afterward, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother to learn more about the pendant.
[[File:Liko and Terapagos.png|thumb|right|250px|Terapagos and Liko]]
In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] by herself after she saw an advertisement for a jar of [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] on her [[Rotom Phone]] that [[Murdock]] had been looking for. In reality, however, the advertisement was created by [[Spinel]] to separate her from the group. He then used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories and steal her pendant. The pendant remained under Spinel's possession until ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', where, after [[Dot]] signaled Liko and Roy to a cargo ship where Spinel was hiding by using her {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, the group challenged him to a battle. Spinel, commanding his Pokémon remotely from a hidden location, battled with his {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, who were defeated by the group. However, they quickly got overwhelmed by his final Pokémon, {{p|Umbreon}}. Their desire to protect Terapagos caused the pendant to glow brightly, revealing where Spinel was hiding and allowing Sprigatito to retrieve the pendant.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', the group encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, indicating that it had belonged to the ancient adventurer [[Lucius]] just like Arboliva. However, they were forced to retreat after Moltres had defeated them and injured [[Captain Pikachu]]. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy returned to the Galar Mine and battled the Malevolent Pokémon in an attempt to calm it down. After successfully calming Moltres down with Sprigatito's aromatic {{m|Leafage}}, Liko's pendant started to glow and transformed into Terapagos. It began to communicate with the Moltres, after which it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. After this point, Terapagos no longer reverted to its dormant state inside the pendant, instead choosing to remain awakened to travel alongside Liko. This was noticed by Amethio, who would tell his teammates that they planned to steal the mysterious Pokémon.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Terapagos facing the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Terapagos accompanied Liko to an [[ancient castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]] to meet up with her grandmother, Diana. With the help of her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, the group reunited with Diana, and Terapagos was happy to see her again. However, the Explorers were on their trail, having tracked down Diana's concealed castle. After Amethio and his teammates had broken into the castle, Terapagos expressed anger towards him. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Terapagos escaped with Liko and Roy until the two Trainers were forced to battle their pursuers. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Terapagos was taken back to the airship with Liko and Roy.

In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', after Terapagos refused to eat, it decided to explore the airship, including the captain's deck, the kitchen, the engine room, and [[Dot]]'s room. Eventually it sneaks outside and appears to be calling for [[Lucius|someone]], however, it almost falls out of the ship, but is saved by Liko and Diana.

In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Terapagos was invited to watch a battle between {{p|Shuckle}} and a wild {{p|Polteageist}}. However, the battle was called off, as Terapagos and its friends partook in welcoming Polteageist to the group. They were then joined by Liko's Sprigatito, [[Roy's Fuecoco]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]] in welcoming Polteageist.
[[File:Liko Blue Bag.png|thumb|230px|Terapagos inside Liko's bag]]
In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Terapagos found out through Liko and her friends that its old friend Lapras was nearby. After Liko and her friends were able to draw Lapras out, Terapagos was happy to see it. However, in the [[HZ032|next episode]], Terapagos saw that Lapras decided to flee with its friends, and decided to talk to it. Through Arboliva and Moltres's help, Terapagos was able to convince Lapras that their friends were its friends as well. After Lapras decided to join the group, Terapagos witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

As seen in ''[[The Brilliant Terapagos Expedition]]'', Terapagos explores the [[Brave Olivine]] and got along with many of the Pokémon that live there, including Dot's Quaxly, Roy's Fuecoco, and Liko's Sprigatito, the latter being very annoyed with its presence at first, but warmed up to Terapagos eventually.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', as Black Rayquaza appeared to the Rising Volt Tacklers and easily defeated Amethio, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to defend its friends, having its {{m|Tera Starstorm}} clash with Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}}. After that, however, Terapagos passed out from exhaustion and Rayquaza left, so it was taken to the [[Brave Olivine]] and treated by [[Mollie]].

In ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]'', during a training battle with Roy's Fuecoco, Terapagos wandered onto the battlefield, right into the path of Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}}. Liko stepped in to defend Terapagos, causing her to get hit instead. Later, when Liko went to look for Sprigatito at [[Marnya's house]], Terapagos decided to follow her. Later, shortly after arriving in the bouse's garden, Terapagos and {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} were captured by a wild {{p|Spidops}}. With its newly-learnt {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Sprigatito was able to simultaneously defeat Spidops and free its friends.
[[File:Dot and Terapagos.png|thumb|left|250px|Terapagos and [[Dot]] finding a sketch of its third form in the [[Scarlet Book]]]]
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the Explorers used a machine to recreate Terapagos's energy signal and lure the Black Rayquaza out into a trap. In the [[HZ045|following episode]], the Explorers fled after realizing they were unable to weaken the Black Rayquaza enough. Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it accepted. Once the battle was over, Rayquaza briefly looked at Liko before taking off into the skies once more.

In [[HZ046]], as Liko started to study at [[Naranja Academy]] with Roy and Dot, Terapagos was brought along hidden inside a bag so it couldn't call too much attention.

In [[HZ048]], Terapagos helped Liko with her painting for the [[Artazon Art Festival]] along with Hatenna and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}.
[[File:Terapagos Tera Shift.png|250px|thumb|Tera Shift activated]]
In [[HZ055]], Liko left Terapagos in Dot's care while she faced [[Rika]] in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]]. When Terapagos snuck off and wandered off into the academy's library, Dot and Quaxly were forced to chase after it. In the [[HZ056|following episode]], Terapagos was found by [[Penny]], who was investigating "[[Chalce|Agepan]]". Later, while looking through the [[Scarlet Book]] Agepan was reading, Dot discovered a sketch of a large creature bearing resemblance to Terapagos.

In [[HZ057]], knowing about Terapagos sightings in Paldea through old records, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede visited [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]] hoping they'd know something about them. They revealed old sketches of Terapagos's Normal and Terastal Forms, claiming it possessed a strong connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and that it was once sighted within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], in [[Area Zero]], which was recorded in the Scarlet Book, supposedly in its third form. Later on, during their travels with [[Raifort]], Liko imagined Lucius and Terapagos in ancient Paldea.

In [[HZ064]], after an encounter with Amethio on [[Glaseado Mountain]], Liko was forced to battle him in order to keep Terapagos safe. They were interrupted by Spinel, who revealed he came into possession of a shard of [[Laquium]], which he used to power up his {{p|Umbreon}}. Infuriated by this, Terapagos changed into its Terastal Form, purified Umbreon of the Laquium's effect, and destroyed the shard before falling unconscious. Terapagos later awakened inside a cave that Spinel trapped it, Liko, and Amethio inside of. Despite Amethio's insistence that capturing it was the last thing on his mind at the moment, Terapagos ignored his words and angrily yelled at him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos with [[Liko's Floragato|Floragato]] and [[Liko's Hatenna|Hatenna]]]]
Much of Terapagos's past is unknown. [[Diana]] theorizes that it traveled alongside the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]] as she had discovered the pendant together with his research diary, with Terapagos's Terastal Form being mentioned inside it. This is supported by the pendant glowing whenever it's near one of his {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s and it communicating with his {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}, along with Terapagos responding to both the name Lucius and the name of the paradise he was searching for, [[Laqua]], in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', it was shown to have a curious and inquisitive personality, exploring and wandering the Rising Volt Tacklers base on its own, due to being in its dormant form for a very long time. Terapagos has also shown to be friendly around Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when it quickly befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Drednaw}}. However, despite mostly being friendly around Pokémon, Terapagos has shown to get along with people as well. In addition, Terapagos enjoys eating {{berries}}, as they are the only things it will eat.

It also seems to have a strong desire to protect [[Liko]] from harm, summoning barriers made up of overlapping hexagons to shield her from attacks like {{m|Psycho Cut}} from [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], from his {{p|Corviknight}}'s talons and even from the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s {{m|Draco Meteor}}. It also seemed to have gotten agitated when it saw Amethio in ''Reunion at the Ancient Castle!'' because of his actions in hurting Liko and trying to take it away from her. Terapagos seems to be attached to Liko as it took a liking to her, after she expressed determination to save it from the [[Explorers]] in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Terapagos also seems to like sleeping in Liko's backpack. Terapagos even became friends with [[Liko's Floragato]] and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, as its spends most of its time hanging out with them.

Although it doesn't seem to battle that much, Terapagos would do so if its friends were put in danger, as shown in ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', when it transformed and battled the Black Rayquaza in order to protect the Rising Volt Tacklers, especially Liko. Terapagos also showed an interest in battling, as shown in ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]'', when it tried to join Liko and [[Roy]]'s practice battle. As seen in ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Terapagos has the ability to call for the Black Rayquaza with a specific energy signal. Additionally, in [[HZ054]], [[Gibeon]] claims that Terapagos's "awakening" is the key to reach the paradise.

In [[HZ064]], when [[Spinel]] showed a [[Laquium]] shard to Terapagos, it became angry, causing Terapagos to transform into its Terastal Form and shine a bright light, purifying Spinel's Umbreon of its influence and destroying the shard in the process. Spinel came to the conclusion that Terapagos and the Laquium are opposing forces to each other in some fashion.

As shown in HZ065 Terapagos seems to have a deep hatred for Amenthio and the Explorers. Mentioning the Explorer's leader Gibeon even angers Terapagos which implies that they have history togather.

'''Pecharunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ghost}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

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

It is the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|trio master]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draw out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and in some cases, completely fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use {{m|Malignant Chain|its toxic chains in combat}} as well, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years. In [[Kitakami]], it is known as the "'''Never-Rotting Peach'''".
[[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi]]
Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires — [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "Veevee", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match". It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was adopted by an elderly couple who had no children. Pecharunt fed its adoptive parents its toxic mochi which brought out their greed, they asked for things and Pecharunt gave them what they requested as it wanted their love and affection. The couple eventually asked for a mask which can only be found in Kitakami, Pecharunt left to obtain the mask but not before recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti to aid in its quest. They successfully stole three masks from Ogerpon but earned its wrath, Ogerpon killed the Loyal Three in retaliation but only Pecharunt survived having retreated into its shell. It wouldn't be found again until hundreds of years later when a Mythical Pecha Berry awoke it.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|Poison}} type (''doku'' is Japanese for "poison").
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]]:
** Of the Poison type, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
** To have been introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Whose English name is different from its Japanese name.
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the Loyal Three, who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{ga|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses Ogerpon against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. The Ghost type could also reference the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers.

The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

'''Pecharunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ghost}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

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

It is the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|trio master]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draws out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use its toxic chains in combat, as seen in its signature move, {{m|Malignant Chain}}, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years.
[[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi]]
Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The possessed humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Nemona]] and [[Hideko]], its shown that the possessed human can partially resist its influence and still speak somewhat freely. It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was a adopted by an elderly couple who had no children. Pecharunt fed its adoptive parents its toxic mochi which brought out their greed, they asked for things and Pecharunt gave them what they requested as it wanted their love and affection. The couple eventually asked for a mask which can only be found in Kitakami, Pecharunt left to obtain the mask but not before recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti to aid in its quest. They sucessfuly stole 3 masks from Ogerpon but they earned her wrath, Ogerpon killed the Loyal 3 in retaliation but only Pecharunt survived having retreated in its shell. It wouldn't be found again until hundreds of years later when it was awoken by a Mythical Pecha Berry.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|poison}} type. (''doku'' is Japanese for poison)
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt is the only {{type|Poison}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Pecharunt is the only Mythical Pokémon to have its English name be different from its Japanese name.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the [[Loyal Three]], who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of [[Mochi Mayhem]], Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{p|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses {{p|Ogerpon}} against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

In [[Kitakami]] myth, it is said that Munkidori was once a clumsy, dim-witted Pokémon, but a longing for cleverness led it to the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Pecharunt}}, gaining one of its {{a|Toxic Chain}}s, which granted Munkidori the cleverness it longed. This resulted in the Toxic Chain being wrapped around its head, chaining Munkidori to Pecharunt's will<ref>'''Map Mission Guide:''' ''"Locals believe worshiping Munkidori leads to success in life—that doing so will make everything hunky-dory. Munkidori was originally a clumsy and dim-witted Pokémon, but a longing for cleverness led it to gain great wisdom."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] Part 1: [[The Teal Mask]])</ref>. Munkidori transformed as the chain enhanced its capabilities, stimulating its brain and causing its {{t|Psychic}} powers to bloom, it could even see into the near future. It prefers to keep itself somewhere safe while toying with its enemies, using its psychic powers to induce intense dizziness. It traveled from a distant land with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}} and Pecharunt to steal {{p|Ogerpon}}'s masks and claim them for their leader, the four sneaked into Ogerpon's cave and managed to steal [[Wellspring Mask|three]] [[Hearthflame Mask|of]] [[Cornerstone Mask|them]] while Ogerpon's friend managed to protect [[Teal Mask|one of them]]. After finding out, Ogerpon discovers what happened and beats the trio up, Munkidori lost its life in the fight along with its partners with the exception of Pecharunt, who managed to escape. In the villagers' eyes though, it looked like the trio had fallen protecting the village from the enraged ogre, nicknaming them the Loyal Three and giving them a proper burial.

Munkidori, together with Okidogi and Fezandipiti, are known as the [[Loyal Three]], the heroes of Kitakami. They are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that once protected the land from the "evil ogre",<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3cA6VSgdj8 Watch the New Trailer for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero!]" [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> and stone statues bearing their likenesses were made by the people as an expression of their gratitude right where the three had been buried.<ref>(February 27, 2023). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/ Introducing the Legendary Pokémon You’ll Meet in This DLC]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> According to locals, worshiping Munkidori ensures one is successful in life and that everything will be hunky-dory. Even with its greedy and manipulative personality, Munkidori has great relationships with its teammates, talking to each other in private and acting together to defeat their oponents. By consuming the Kitakami Mochis, Munkidori can become a [[Titan Pokémon|Titanic Pokémon]].

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Munkidori may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, particularly the {{wp|Japanese macaque}}, such as the northermost Japanese macaque from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}}. This is sort of reflected with its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] form, which gives it a slight tanned fur coat similar to Japanese macaques. Its regular coloration resembles a {{wp|chimpanzee}}. The chain on its forehead resembles a headband. Its mischievous personality and Psychic typing could be a reference to the {{wp|Satori}}, a {{wp|yokai}} that takes the form of a mind-reading monkey and torments travelers.

Munkidori, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The purple chain could be based on a {{wp|shimenawa}}.

====Name origin====
Munkidori may be a combination of ''monkey'' and ''hunky dory'' (slang meaning that things are good).

Mashimashira may be a combination of 増し ''mashi'' (better, improving) and 猿 ''mashira'' (archaic word for monkey or ape).

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erureido'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[Gender|male]] {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gardevoir}}.

Gallade can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gallade''' using the [[Galladite]].

It, along with Gardevoir, appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}}.

==Biology==
Gallade is a white, bipedal, {{wp|bishōnen}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin green torso with sharp, red horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms resemble {{wp|tonfa}}s with extendable, blade-like elbows. Its head resembles a gladiator's helmet with a white face, red eyes, and a teal head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face.

It is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship capable of predicting its foe's moves, allowing it to strike preemptively. True to Gallade's honorable warrior image, it is just as protective of its {{pkmn|Trainer}} as its counterpart, {{p|Gardevoir}}, using the blades on its elbows to defend. The shoulder blades are said to be sharper than even the best swords. Gallade is known to be sharply aware of a person's wish for help and seeks out those who need its assistance in battle, fighting savagely with fast and fierce attacks. It is capable of teaching itself swordsmanship at an impressive rate. As shown in [[PS419|Pokemon Adventures]], Gallade can extend its blades at will to attack opponents from behind. This Pokémon inhabits mountainous areas. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Teleport}} is its [[signature move]].
[[File:Gallade's_Blades.png|thumb|Gallade's blades extending]]

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

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gallade, its entire body becomes white, save for its head. Red plates emerge from its arms, its blue head crest grows slightly longer, and the spikes on its head are elongated. It also gains two cape-like protrusions on its back, giving it a knightly appearance.

When the situation demands it, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously and fight using a dual-wielding style. {{p|Iron Valiant}} bears a resemblance to a combined Mega Gallade and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}.

==Trivia==
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Gardevoir}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 160.
* Gallade and Gardevoir are the only Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]] that are in the same evolutionary family.
** In addition, Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]] that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* As of [[Generation VIII]], Gallade and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Amorphous}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* Gallade is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the Amorphous Egg Group.
* Gallade is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon with a [[Paradox Pokémon]] [[Iron Valiant|counterpart]].
* Gallade is the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation VIII]] to have {{a|Sharpness}} as an [[Ability]], and the only Pokémon to have Sharpness as a non-Hidden Ability.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Gallade was unable to learn {{m|Metronome}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolutions could.

===Origin===
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|murmillo}}-class Roman {{wp|gladiator}}s, or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} with a horsehair crest worn by Greek {{wp|hoplite}}s, but it may also be based on medieval {{wp|knight}}s. Additionally, its battle stances in various media resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of modern {{wp|fencing}}, while the elbow swords themselves have a close resemblance to {{wp|tonfa}}s, wooden bars held against the arm to act as batons and arm guards. The red piece on its chest may represent the heart, alluding to the empathic and protective nature of its evolutionary family mixed with {{wp|chivalry}} of a knight.

Mega Gallade's cape is similar to a superhero cape or {{wp|matador}} or bullfighter's fabric.

====Name origin====
Gallade may be a combination of ''gallant'' and ''blade''.

Erureido may be a combination of ''elbow'' or ''{{wp|earl}}'', and ''blade''. It may also involve 居合道 ''{{wp|iaido|iaidō}}'', a Japanese martial art of responding to attacks with swift swordplay.

'''Applin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カジッチュ''' ''Kajicchu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flapple}} when exposed to a [[Tart Apple]], {{p|Appletun}} when exposed to a [[Sweet Apple]], or {{p|Dipplin}} when exposed to a [[Syrupy Apple]].

==Biology==
[[File:Applin body NPSnap.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Applin's body seen in [[New Pokémon Snap]]]]
Applin is a small, worm-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light green body and a dark green underside. Its head is round with two pink nostrils. Above its head are two large leaf-like eyestalks which house its two small black eyes. These eyestalks give the apple it lives in the appearance of having a stem with leaves. Applin also has two thin hairs on the tip of its tail, as well as two stubby forelimbs which are usually hidden inside its apple.

Applin is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also one of the shortest {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. As soon as it is born, it burrows into an apple that looks like a [[Leppa Berry]], which serves as a home, food source, and protection against preying bird Pokémon. The apple is prevented from rotting thanks to Applin's body fluid, which also strengthens the fruit's rind. The flavor of the apple determines which evolution Applin will evolve into. If Applin runs out of apples to eat or if it is separated from its apple, its body will lose moisture, and it will become dehydrated and weak.<ref>[https://wpes.pokemon.co.jp/en/ World Pokémon Ecological Society]: "When [Applin] runs [out] of... apple[s], it becomes dehydrated. That makes it weak, doesn't it?" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0jnUPj41oo Video archive])</ref> Since Applin hides inside an apple, it is sometimes mistaken by the frugivorous {{p|Noibat}} for food. In [[Galar]], it is a custom to give an Applin as a romantic gesture.

Applin, {{p|Flapple}}, and {{p|Appletun}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Applin evolves into {{p|Flapple}}, {{p|Appletun}}, or {{p|Dipplin}}.

** Furthermore, Applin is the first Pokémon since {{p|Tyrogue}} in [[Generation II]] to have a branched evolution path with more than two possible different species it can evolve into.
* Applin and its evolved forms:
** are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Applin has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Applin is the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Dragon-type Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IX]], Applin is the only Dragon-type Pokémon to not learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Origin===
Applin appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}; perhaps specifically the {{wp|larva}}e of various moths, such as the {{wp|geometer moth}} larvae (also known as the inchworm) and the {{wp|codling moth}} larvae, who burrow into apples and feed on their cores, inhibiting growth and ripening them earlier. It may also be based on the {{wp|mole lizard}}, which has two forelimbs and closely resembles an earthworm, but is actually a type of reptile related to snakes known as an {{wp|amphisbaenia}}.

Its Dragon typing, combined with its worm-like appearance, may be a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon. It may also reference specific dragons in various mythologies, such as the {{wp|Lindworm}} (a serpentine dragon often depicted with only two forelimbs), {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}} (a dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guarded the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Garden of the Hesperides}}), or the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|Biblical serpent}} who persuaded Eve to eat the {{wp|forbidden fruit}} of the {{wp|Tree of the knowledge of good and evil|tree of knowledge}}, which is often depicted as an apple.

====Name origin====
Applin may be a combination of ''apple'' and ''in''.

Kajicchu may be a combination of 齧る ''kajiru'' (to gnaw), 果実 ''kajitsu'' (fruit), and 虫 ''chū'' (bug; worm).

Voice acting in the Pokémon games

2023-09-07T05:29:18Z

Swonic: /* In the core series games */

'''Voice acting''' is when the voice of an actor, often referred to as a voice actor, is used to give voice to characters or provide narration. Some [[Pokémon games]] have full lines of recorded dialogue, such as {{ga|Detective Pikachu}}, while others, such as the [[core series]] games, use voice acting more sparingly. Characters sometimes have voices that were created using voice samples that were {{wp|Speech synthesis|synthesized}} to generate new speech or vocalizations.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Virbank Gym B2W2.png|thumb|250px|[[Roxie]] and her bandmates performing on-stage inside the [[Virbank Gym]]]]
The [[core series]] games have minimal voice acting, but occasionally feature brief vocals. Background music in the games often feature vocals, but they do not usually come from characters within the games' setting, with some exceptions.

In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Pikachu}} uses its [[cry]] from the {{pkmn|anime}}, as voiced by [[Ikue Otani]]. In Yellow, this is exclusive to the {{pkmn2|starter}} Pikachu and not the entire species, as other Pikachu (i.e. those that don't have the player's [[Original Trainer]] ID and name) use the original cry.

From {{LGPE}} to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{p|Eevee}} also uses it cry from the anime, as voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]].

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the {{DL|Village Bridge|Variable scoring|Village Bridge theme}} has synthesized beatboxing and {{wp|enka}} vocal samples that can be added to the background track by speaking to the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] Russo (Japanese: '''ガッチー''' ''Gatchī'') and Koontz (Japanese: '''れいぞう''' ''Reizō''), respectively, implying that the NPCs themselves are singing their respective parts.

In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, the background music for the [[Virbank Gym]] uses synthesized vocal samples that spell out the word "Pokémon"EN/"{{tt|Dogars|Koffing}}"JP, implied to be sung by [[Roxie]] and {{OBP|Nicky|Unova}}. The background music for the [[Nimbasa Gym]] uses synthesized vocal samples that sing the phrases "Give me what I need" and "Are you ready?". The music and vocals seem to play as part of [[Elesa]]'s performance, though the singer is unknown. Some of the [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] use synthesized vocal samples in their cries, namely [[Brycen|Brycen-Man]], {{tc|Black Belt}}, Monica, F-00 (both forms), Black Door, and White Door. [[Colress|Colress's]] battle theme as vocals in his theme counting down from 5.

===Generation VII===
In Pokemon SS and USUM, the battle theme for the [[Guardian deities]] has tribal chanting.

===Generation VIII===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} theme has vocals of the crowd singing along with the song that are added after the [[Gym Leader]] [[Dynamax]]es or [[Gigantamax]]es a Pokémon. [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu and Gigantamax Eevee use vocals, similar to their standard forms. Gigantamax {{p|Meowth}} also uses vocals (voiced by its Japanese anime voice actor, [[Inuko Inuyama]]), though its standard form does not.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{ga|Rei}} (voiced by [[Tatsuya Kotono]]) and {{ga|Akari}} (voiced by [[Tamaki Fujii]]) make various vocalizations and grunts during gameplay, such as when throwing a [[Poké Ball]] or taking damage.

===Generation IX===
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, on the title screen, the voices of students talking and playing can be heard. A different, more energetic voice track can be heard after the game's story has been completed. The Gym battle theme has vocals of the crowd singing along with the song that are added after the Gym Leader [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] a Pokémon.

==In the side series games==
Some {{DL|Pokémon games|side series}} games feature voice acting, most prominently in the form of an in-battle announcer.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In the {{g|Stadium series}}, the announcer ([[Ted Lewis]]EN/{{jwp|長谷部浩一|Kōichi Hasebe}} (1998-99), [[Takeharu Onishi]] (2000)JP) combines various voice clip segments to describe the combatants' moves and current condition during {{pkmn|battle}}s. In the latter two games, the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Pikachu}} from {{game|Yellow}} uses its [[cry]] from the {{pkmn|anime}}, as voiced by [[Ikue Otani]]. All other Pikachu use a standard cry based on the species' [[core series]] cry.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, the announcer ([[Rodger Parsons]]EN/[[Kenyu Horiuchi]]JP) once again combines voice clips to narrate the play-by-play of battles.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:Snap Professor Oak.png|thumb|250px|[[Professor Oak]] speaking to [[Todd Snap|Todd]] in his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]]]]
Several of the {{DL|Pokémon games|spin-off games}} feature voice acting. This can vary from minor vocal parts to full scripts of spoken dialogue.

===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], all Pokémon use their cry from the anime.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], almost every voiced character from the Pokémon universe is voiced by their {{pkmn|anime}} voice actor.

===Pokémon Snap===
In {{g|Snap}}, [[Todd Snap]] and [[Professor Oak]] use short voice lines by their original English {{pkmn|anime}} voice actors, [[Carter Cathcart]] and [[Stuart Zagnit]], respectively. While many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} make generic animal sounds or other noises fitting their species, others have voice clips using their anime voices, such as {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}}. A {{p|Jigglypuff}} also {{m|sing}}s the same song that the recurring {{an|Jigglypuff}} sings in the anime.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
In {{g|Puzzle League}}, the introductory cutscene is fully voiced, and short voice clips from various {{pkmn|anime}} characters will play when navigating menus. During {{pkmn|battle}}s, the participating Pokémon will also occasionally say their [[cry]] from the anime, while [[human]] characters and {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} may chime in about the {{player}}'s performance. Opponents will also say a short voice clip before and after battles.

===Pokémon Channel===
In {{g|Channel}}, all Pokémon use their cry from the anime. Channel host Pokémon as well as Pikachu speak extensively, though in [[Pokémon language]]. Meowth is an exception, as it speaks in full human-language sentences.

===Pokémon Garden===
In {{g|Garden}}, the {{DL|Pokémon Garden|Pokémon Special Tour}} attraction is run by the NPCs Kouichi (こういち) and Mai (まい) for the Diamond tour, and Kazuya and Jun for the Pearl tour. All four tour guides are fully voiced for the entirety of the attraction, where they narrate the real-life history of Pokémon's development, as well as instruct the participants to play mini-games or move to specific sides of the room.

===PokéPark series===
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], every Pokémon uses their cry from the anime. Among these is {{p|Porygon-Z}}, who received new voice acting, as it previously did not speak in the anime.

===Pokken Tournament===
In [[Pokken Tournament]], all human characters use full voice acting for dialogue in and out of combat. All Battle Pokémon as well as Support Pokémon also have voice acting for numerous actions in combat. {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Libre]] use voice lines by [[Ikue Otani]].

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, Pikachu uses voice lines by Ikue Otani.

===Detective Pikachu===

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In {{g|Masters EX}}, all {{pkmn|Trainers}} except for [[Scottie]] and [[Bettie]] have various voice lines for specific actions both in and out of battle, such as sending in a Pokémon, directing a Pokémon move, receiving an upgrade, or giving the player an item. Trainers also have short voice clips used in story scenes, though these generally only express the character's sentiment, rather than matching the displayed dialogue text. Scottie/Bettie's Pikachu, [[Sygna Suit]] Thunderbolt {{mas|Red}}'s Pikachu, and {{mas|Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} all use lines voiced by Ikue Otani, with each Pikachu having its own unique voice line. {{mas|Leaf}}'s {{p|Eevee}} uses voice lines by [[Aoi Yūki]].

===New Pokémon Snap===
In [[New Pokémon Snap]], a handful of cutscenes and tutorials feature fully voiced lines by the characters, but short voice clips are used otherwise. Pikachu and Eevee use voice lines by Ikue Otani and Aoi Yūki, respectively, while most other Pokémon use generic grunt sounds to respond to certain actions, such as getting hit by a [[fluffruit]].

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, the intro cinematic features voice acting for all of the Pokémon featured, however in-game only Pikachu uses voice lines by Ikue Otani. An announcer may also be heard throughout Unite Battles, announcing the start, Final Stretch, and end of the battle, as well as telling players how well their team is doing and applauding players for scoring 50 points or more.

===Pokémon Sleep===
In {{g|Sleep}}, Pikachu is once again voiced by Ikue Otani.

'''Tinkatink''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カヌチャン''' ''Kanuchan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Tinkatuff}} starting at [[level]] 24, which evolves into {{p|Tinkaton}} starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Tinkatink is a short, pink, humanoid Pokémon, with a relatively large head and arms compared to the rest of its body and stumpy toeless feet. Its arms have three fingers each, and it has what appears to be a pyramidal diamond-shaped steel plate on its torso. Its head has light pink circles on its cheeks, silver eyes, and a mouth with a square teeth-like growth on the lower lip. It has thin eyebrows or eyelashes above its eyes that give it a perpetually worried expression. On top of its head is a light pink cap with a white protrusion on top, resembling tied hair.

Tinkatink carries a crude, gray, cylindrical hammer with a short handle, which resembles a baby's rattle. It creates its own hammer using iron scraps, remaking it as many times as it wants until it is satisfied. Tinkatink uses the hammer to protect itself. However, the hammer is often stolen and eaten by Pokémon with a metal diet. Tinkatink is a female-only species. Tinkatink resides in various ruins across [[Paldea]].

===Evolution===
Tinkatink evolves into {{p|Tinkatuff}}, which evolves into {{p|Tinkaton}}.

* Tinkatink and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1607179613431824384 Megumi Mizutani on Twitter]</ref>
* Tinkatink is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 297.

===Origin===
Given its type combination and its size, Tinkatink may be inspired by {{wp|duende}}s, {{wp|gnome}}s, or {{wp|Dwarf (folklore)|dwarfs}}, the latter of which are commonly depicted smithing and using iron tools and weapons. It also resembles a baby with a rattle.

====Name origin====
Tinkatink may be a combination of ''{{wp|tinker}}'' (itinerant tinsmith) and ''pink'' or ''tink'' (sharp metallic sound).

Kanuchan may be a combination of 鍛冶 ''kanuchi'' (blacksmith) and the Japanese diminutive suffix ～ちゃん ''-chan''.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Clemont Magneton three Magnemite.png|thumb|250px|left|Magneton splitting into three Magnemite]]
Magneton is a robot-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the result of three {{p|Magnemite}} becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as {{g|Snap}}, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that hold the three Magnemite together are powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature by 3.6°F (2°C) within a radius of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). It can also be disruptive to electronic devices and induce earaches. It uses powerful radio waves to help it study the surrounding area.

Magneton's anti-gravitational powers enable it to fly through the air. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. As seen in [[EP195|the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. As seen in [[PS011|Pokémon Adventures]], it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. As seen in [[HZ012]] it can cause interference with phone and internet signels. In [[HZ013]] a herd of Magneton can produce an EMP that can destroy computor software. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and one was [[PG18|shown]] in a flashback to the great war of [[Kalos]], indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years. Additionally, {{p|Sandy Shocks}} bears a strong resemblance to Magneton. It is believed to be an ancient Magneton that was alive 10,000 years ago.

===Evolution===
Magneton evolves from {{p|Magnemite}} and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===Evolution data===
Magneton [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
* Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to ever change [[type]]s with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}}, which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.
** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg), whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg).
* Magneton and Magnemite are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its {{pkmn2|Paradox}} relative species, weighing the same as {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three Magnemite, which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature, and it also seems to be inspired by an air drone. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton may be derived from ''{{wp|magneton}}'' (various units of magnetic moment) or possibly ''{{wp|Cavity magnetron|magnetron}}'' (high-power vacuum tube).

Rarecoil may be a combination of ''{{wp|rare-earth magnet}}'' and ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Clemont Magneton three Magnemite.png|thumb|250px|left|Magneton splitting into three Magnemite]]
Magneton is a robot-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the result of three {{p|Magnemite}} becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as {{g|Snap}}, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that hold the three Magnemite together are powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature by 3.6°F (2°C) within a radius of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). It can also be disruptive to electronic devices and induce earaches. It uses powerful radio waves to help it study the surrounding area.

Magneton's anti-gravitational powers enable it to fly through the air. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. As seen in [[EP195|the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. As seen in [[PS011|Pokémon Adventures]], it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. As seen in [[HZ012]] it can cause interference with phone and internet signels. In [[HZ014]] a herd of Magneton can produce an EMP that can destroy computor software. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and one was [[PG18|shown]] in a flashback to the great war of [[Kalos]], indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years. Additionally, {{p|Sandy Shocks}} bears a strong resemblance to Magneton. It is believed to be an ancient Magneton that was alive 10,000 years ago.

===Evolution===
Magneton evolves from {{p|Magnemite}} and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===Evolution data===
Magneton [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
* Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to ever change [[type]]s with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}}, which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.
** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg), whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg).
* Magneton and Magnemite are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its {{pkmn2|Paradox}} relative species, weighing the same as {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three Magnemite, which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature, and it also seems to be inspired by an air drone. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton may be derived from ''{{wp|magneton}}'' (various units of magnetic moment) or possibly ''{{wp|Cavity magnetron|magnetron}}'' (high-power vacuum tube).

Rarecoil may be a combination of ''{{wp|rare-earth magnet}}'' and ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Clemont Magneton three Magnemite.png|thumb|250px|left|Magneton splitting into three Magnemite]]
Magneton is a robot-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the result of three {{p|Magnemite}} becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as {{g|Snap}}, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that hold the three Magnemite together are powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature by 3.6°F (2°C) within a radius of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). It can also be disruptive to electronic devices and induce earaches. It uses powerful radio waves to help it study the surrounding area.

Magneton's anti-gravitational powers enable it to fly through the air. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. As seen in [[EP195|the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. As seen in [[PS011|Pokémon Adventures]], it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. As seen in [[HZ012]] it can cause interference with phone and internet signels. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and one was [[PG18|shown]] in a flashback to the great war of [[Kalos]], indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years. Additionally, {{p|Sandy Shocks}} bears a strong resemblance to Magneton. It is believed to be an ancient Magneton that was alive 10,000 years ago.

===Evolution===
Magneton evolves from {{p|Magnemite}} and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Clemont Magneton.png|thumb|left|250px|Magneton in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Vincent Magneton.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Magneton in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Clemont's Magneton]]=====
{{an|Clemont}} owns a Magneton, which he keeps at the [[Lumiose Gym]] so [[Clembot]] can use it for Gym Battles while Clemont is away. It first appeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', where it was revealed to be able to separate itself into three Magnemite in order to dodge attacks.

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', multiple Magneton, along with a Magnemite, saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a {{p|Grimer}} attack.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}. This Magneton is [[nickname]]d ''Number 6''.

In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', a group of [[phony Pokémon interpreters]] deprived their two Magneton of electricity so they would remain obedient. They were convinced by [[Simon]] to cease their attacks on a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', a Magneton served as a security guard for an electric company's power station. Ash was attacked by the Magnemite assisting Magneton, but when he retaliated with {{AP|Chikorita}}, Magneton attacked as well.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent|Jackson]] used a {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Magneton|Shiny}} Magneton against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]]. It proved to be very strong, knocking out Pikachu and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} before being defeated by {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', [[Wattson]] used a Magneton during his brief [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash. It was easily defeated by Pikachu, who had become super-charged during an incident at the [[Mauville Gym]]. Three {{pkmn2|wild}} Magneton also appeared later in the same episode.

In ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', multiple Magneton were among the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon in the [[Valley of Steel]] bullying a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.

In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', an army of Magneton and Magnemite, led by a {{p|Magnezone}}, was owned by [[Zero]]. He mainly used them as a swarm to trap or capture targets by linking together around them.

In ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]'', [[Belmondo]] has a Magneton. It was first used by the [[Dark Clembot]] to destroy electric appliances in a storehouse using Discharge. It then battled [[Clemont's Heliolisk]], which was being used by [[Clembot]]. After a hard-fought battle, it was recalled by Belmondo after the battle had been interrupted by {{TRT}}.

====Minor appearances====

===Evolution data===
Magneton [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
* Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to ever change [[type]]s with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}}, which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.
** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg), whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg).
* Magneton and Magnemite are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its {{pkmn2|Paradox}} relative species, weighing the same as {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three Magnemite, which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature, and it also seems to be inspired by an air drone. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton may be derived from ''{{wp|magneton}}'' (various units of magnetic moment) or possibly ''{{wp|Cavity magnetron|magnetron}}'' (high-power vacuum tube).

Rarecoil may be a combination of ''{{wp|rare-earth magnet}}'' and ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

'''Clavell''' (Japanese: '''クラベル''' ''Clavel'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He serves as the director of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Director''' (Japanese: '''校長''' ''Principal'').

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
===★ Starfall Street ★===
During the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline, he disguises himself as a student named '''Clive''' (Japanese: '''ネルケ''' ''Nelke'') to support the player and learn the truth behind [[Team Star]]'s reputation and actions.

===Victory Road===
Clavell appears as part of [[Iono]]'s [[Gym]] Test, where he hides somewhere in three locations, the first location being the street connected to the [[Levincia]] Gym building, the second location being the street connected to the Levincia [[Pokémon Center]], and the third location being the Levincia Gym's battle court. The player must use the street surveillance cameras to seek him. Iono refers to Clavell as '''Mister Walksabout''' throughout the Gym Test. Clavell explains that he owes the [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]] "for many a past favor", which is why he agreed to help Iono with her Gym Test. For the first two locations, the player will always have to battle Iono's [[Gym Trainer]]s, even if they found Clavell on their first try or not.

===Pokémon===
Clavell's team will always contain the final evolutionary form of the [[starter Pokémon]] with a type advantage to the player's chosen starter. This is likely the starter that remained with him after the player and [[Nemona]] chose their own starters at the beginning of the game. The remainder of his team will be based on his starter. Clavell also sends out a Pawmi during the games opening cutscene.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Clavell will [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] his {{pkmn2|starter}} at the first opportunity.

Aura

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

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

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

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Lucario using its Aura vision]]
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.
[[File:Ash Greninja aura.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Greninja using its Aura]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

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

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}. Greninja later demonstrated this Aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own Aura. After training with Greninja, Lucario and Ash were able to sync up more than before, allowing Lucario to create a giant Aura Sphere. In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' and [[JN125]], Lucario used this newfound synchronicity to draw power from the Aura of its allies and make its Aura Sphere grow even bigger than before.

In [[JNS05]] [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|Ash]] was able to see and speak to [[Haruto]] because of his Aura despite Haruto dying to illness last year. Ash later used his Aura to allow Haruto to touch Pikachu, fulfilling his wish to touch a Pokemon and allowing him to pass on.

===Capabilities of Aura===
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
* To see and speak to the spirits of the dead
* To allow the spirits of the dead the ability to touch the physical world.
* When in sync with the Trainer and by invoking the bonds with its friends, a Pokémon can use its Aura to supercharge an {{m|Aura Sphere}} to a gigantic size.
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through his Key Stone]]
When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from far away.

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

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

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

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

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]] but this can be contradicted if the player meets [[Rye]] before getting Lucario's Pokédex entry.

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

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

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|Aura}}. Due to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

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

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

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

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

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

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

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

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to sense other Auras
* Ability to see the Auras of others

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

'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

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

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

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Lucario using its Aura vision]]
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.
[[File:Ash Greninja aura.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Greninja using its Aura]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

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

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}. Greninja later demonstrated this Aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own Aura. After training with Greninja, Lucario and Ash were able to sync up more than before, allowing Lucario to create a giant Aura Sphere. In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' and [[JN125]], Lucario used this newfound synchronicity to draw power from the Aura of its allies and make its Aura Sphere grow even bigger than before.

In [[JNS05]] [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|Ash]] was able to see and speak to [[Haruto]] because of his Aura despite Haruto dying to illness last year. Ash later used his Aura to allow Haruto to touch Pikachu, fulfilling his wish to touch a Pokemon and allowing him to pass on.

===Capabilities of Aura===
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
* When in sync with the Trainer and by invoking the bonds with its friends, a Pokémon can use its Aura to supercharge an {{m|Aura Sphere}} to a gigantic size.
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through his Key Stone]]
When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from far away.
* To see and speak to the spirits of the dead
* To allow the spirits of the dead the ability to touch the physical world.

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

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

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

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

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]] but this can be contradicted if the player meets [[Rye]] before getting Lucario's Pokédex entry.

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

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

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|Aura}}. Due to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

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

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

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

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

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

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

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

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

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to sense other Auras
* Ability to see the Auras of others

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[TR|Technical Record]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]], and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.

Mew was first officially revealed in the May 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]] <ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-5.html</ref>, less than two months after [[Pokémon Red and Green]] were released in Japan.

==Biology==
Mew is a pink, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body, allowing Mew to learn and use any attack.

As demonstrated by its behavior in the [[M01|first]] and [[M08|eighth Pokémon movies]], it shows signs of intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. Mew is incredibly adaptable, able to travel freely in the air or underwater. As seen in [[Pokémon Snap]] and the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros.]] series, it can create a green, yellow, or pink orb of energy around itself for protection, although only the pink orb is seen in the latter.

According to the radio drama, ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', Mew was discovered by [[Jessie]]'s mother, [[Miyamoto]], who registered its cry in Guayana Forest 20 years before the events of [[Generation I]]. It was worshiped for its protection by indigenous people who created a folk song in its honor and believed it appeared once a year with the rising sun. It wasn't rediscovered until 18 years after Miyamoto met Mew by sunrise on the peak of the highest mountain in a South American mountain range and fell.

[[Pokémon Mansion journals|Reports]] found in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} note scientific expeditions that have sighted Mew in [[Guyana]], South America, the place where it was first discovered. Since Mew can make itself invisible at will, very few people have {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|knowingly seen it}}, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. It will only show itself to a person who is pure of heart and has a strong desire to see it for themselves. Mew is shown in the [[JN134|anime]] to be capable of splitting to transform into two pokemon at the same time.

Mew is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}.

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|thumb|200px|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew will sometimes appear out of a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single-player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

Mew returns in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] and comes out of a Poké Ball (rarely) and/or Master Ball (rare, but less rare than a Poké Ball).

Mew returns yet again in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], once again as a rare Poké Ball summon, but also as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

Throughout the series, Mew, much like Mewtwo, is roughly akin to its portrayal in [[M01|the first movie]], especially having Kōichi Yamadera reprise his role.
{{-}}
====Melee trophy information====
''Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.''
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''
{{-}}
====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Mew_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mew trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Mew appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

'''NA''': ''Mew is a Pokémon previously thought to be extinct but rediscovered by [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]]. This Legendary Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it is considered quite lucky to see one. In Smash Bros., Mew will appear and then use Fly to sail away, leaving behind a gift. Thanks, Mew! ''

'''PAL''': ''Mew was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered by Dr. Fuji in Guyana. This Mythical Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it's considered very lucky to see one. In this game, it will float upwards and leave a present behind. If only Mew would turn up more often, eh?''
{{-}}
==={{g|Snap}}===
[[File:Mew Celestial.png|thumb|250px|Mew in the music video for Celestial]]
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest-ranking Pokémon in the game with the highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size, and pose.

===Celestial===
Mew appeared in the music video for [[Celestial]].

==Trivia==
* Despite being a clone of Mew, {{p|Mewtwo}} appears before Mew in the [[Pokédex]].
* Mew is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]. This may be because Mew still wasn't announced outside of Japan at that time.
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, due to technical limitations, Mew’s [[Pokémon category|category name]], ''New Species'', is labeled in game as ''NEW SPECIE'' (and in early versions, labeled as ''NEWSPECIES'').
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even [[Nintendo]] was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref name=IwataAsks>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon/0/0/ Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>
** According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.<ref name=IwataAsks/>
** In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, Shigeki Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 134, July 2000, p.78-79 ([http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php excerpt])</ref>
** At the [[Heahea City]] Game Freak office in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Shigeki Morimoto states that he created Mew, including its pixel art, cry and Pokédex entry (the one reused in {{g|FireRed}}). He also says it was right at the very end of game development.
* In the [[core series]], Mew can only be fought as a [[wild Pokémon]] on [[Faraway Island]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However, this requires the [[Old Sea Map]], an [[event item]] only distributed in Japan and Taiwan.
* Mew has the most anime opening appearances of any Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mew is the only [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon species that is legitimately able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and one of the few that can learn {{m|Attract}}. Both moves fail when used by any Pokémon with unknown gender, including Mew.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear; in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251; and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in [[Generation I]], 251 in [[Generation II]], and 493 in [[Generation IV]]).
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* The US release of Mew as an event for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew was voted the most popular Pokémon in the {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}, which included all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s.
* Mew started the trend of every generation until [[Generation VI]] introducing a Mythical Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.
* At 981 episodes (and over two decades), Mew is the Pokémon species that has taken the longest to physically debut in the main anime series from the start of their generation out of any Pokémon thus far.
* The only ways to legitimately obtain a {{Shiny}} Mew are via the Generation II {{DL|List of PCNY event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|Shiny Mew|Gotta Catch Em All Event}} in Thanksgiving 2002, the [[Old Sea Map]] on a Japanese copy of {{game|Emerald}}, or through the [https://www.leekduck.com/shiny-mew-masterwork-research/ Pokémon Go Mew Masterwork Research] quest, which was available for a limited time in Pokemon GO during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event.
** Only the latter two can exist in modern games, as Gen II's "Gotta Catch Em All" Shiny Mew cannot legitimately be [[transfer|transferred]] to Generation III or later.
* Mew is tied with {{p|Muk}} for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
* Mew has the shortest Korean name of all Pokémon, only consisting of one hangul character.
* Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that [[experience|grows medium-slowly]] and has no three-stage [[evolution]] family.
* Mew is the only Pokémon obtainable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] that cannot have the [[Pokémon GO]] [[origin mark]] ([[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO origin mark]]) in said games.
* Mew is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in Generation I.
* As of [[Generation IX]], Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that does not appear in any regional Pokédex other than [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Designer Shigeki Morimoto stated that Mew's design was based on Mewtwo. Its design was made simpler than Mewtwo in order to take up less space on the cartridge.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyXDpFd1CQk The Untold Origin Story of Mythical Pokémon "Mew" and "Mewtwo"! (Game Freak "Secret Base" #39)] - Game Freak Official YouTube Channel (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/game-freaks-shigeki-morimoto-on-mew-why-it-was-initially-rare-design-more/ Game Freak’s Shigeki Morimoto on Mew – why it was initially rare, design, more] - ''Nintendo Everything''.</ref>

Appearance wise, Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based off of domestic {{wp|cat}}s. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in Japan's Red and Green resembled a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}, featuring a large head and small body. It is believed by scientists to be the {{wp|last universal common ancestor}} of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms.

====Name origin====
Mew may be a combination of ''{{wp|mutant}}'' or ''{{wp|mutation}}'' and ''new''. It may also involve 妙 ''myō'' (wonderful, exquisite).

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is the [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and serves as the president of the Academy's student council.

==In the core series games==
Nemona is a [[Champion]]-ranked Pokémon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for the player. She has an energetic personality, and loves Pokémon battles, which she excels at. However, she's not as good at throwing [[Poké Ball]]s.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/nemona/ Nemona — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She, along with the player, is enrolled in the {{wp|general studies|general studies}} track of the Academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Jacq]].

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Nemona's lineup is generally the same no matter which [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] the player chooses. The only difference is the spot in her party for ''her'' starter, which will always be the one with a [[Type|type]] disadvantage to the player's starter. As shown in the games opening cutscene she also owns a Paldean Tauros but she never uses it in her battles against the player.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[TR|Technical Record]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]], and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.

Mew was first officially revealed in the May 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]] <ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-5.html</ref>, less than two months after [[Pokémon Red and Green]] were released in Japan.

==Biology==
Mew is a pink, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body, allowing Mew to learn and use any attack.

As demonstrated by its behavior in the [[M01|first]] and [[M08|eighth Pokémon movies]], it shows signs of intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. Mew is incredibly adaptable, able to travel freely in the air or underwater. As seen in [[Pokémon Snap]] and the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros.]] series, it can create a green, yellow, or pink orb of energy around itself for protection, although only the pink orb is seen in the latter.

According to the radio drama, ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', Mew was discovered by [[Jessie]]'s mother, [[Miyamoto]], who registered its cry in Guayana Forest 20 years before the events of [[Generation I]]. It was worshiped for its protection by indigenous people who created a folk song in its honor and believed it appeared once a year with the rising sun. It wasn't rediscovered until 18 years after Miyamoto met Mew by sunrise on the peak of the highest mountain in a South American mountain range and fell.

[[Pokémon Mansion journals|Reports]] found in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} note scientific expeditions that have sighted Mew in [[Guyana]], South America, the place where it was first discovered. Since Mew can make itself invisible at will, very few people have {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|knowingly seen it}}, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. It will only show itself to a person who is pure of heart and has a strong desire to see it for themselves. Mew is shown in the [[JN134|anime]] to be capable of splitting to transform into two pokemon at the same time.

Mew is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}.

As shown in the anime, Mew can split into 2 and transform into any Pokemon, even Legendary Pokemon.

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|thumb|200px|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew will sometimes appear out of a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single-player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

Mew returns in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] and comes out of a Poké Ball (rarely) and/or Master Ball (rare, but less rare than a Poké Ball).

Mew returns yet again in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], once again as a rare Poké Ball summon, but also as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

Throughout the series, Mew, much like Mewtwo, is roughly akin to its portrayal in [[M01|the first movie]], especially having Kōichi Yamadera reprise his role.

====Melee trophy information====
''Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.''
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''
{{-}}
====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Mew_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mew trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Mew appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

'''NA''': ''Mew is a Pokémon previously thought to be extinct but rediscovered by [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]]. This Legendary Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it is considered quite lucky to see one. In Smash Bros., Mew will appear and then use Fly to sail away, leaving behind a gift. Thanks, Mew! ''

'''PAL''': ''Mew was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered by Dr. Fuji in Guyana. This Mythical Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it's considered very lucky to see one. In this game, it will float upwards and leave a present behind. If only Mew would turn up more often, eh?''
{{-}}
==={{g|Snap}}===
[[File:Mew Celestial.png|thumb|250px|Mew in the music video for Celestial]]
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest-ranking Pokémon in the game with the highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size, and pose.

===Celestial===
Mew appeared in the music video for [[Celestial]].

==Trivia==
* Despite being a clone of Mew, {{p|Mewtwo}} appears before Mew in the [[Pokédex]].
* Mew is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]. This may be because Mew still wasn't announced outside of Japan at that time.
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, due to technical limitations, Mew’s [[Pokémon category|category name]], ''New Species'', is labeled in game as ''NEW SPECIE'' (and in early versions, labeled as ''NEWSPECIES'').
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even [[Nintendo]] was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref name=IwataAsks>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon/0/0/ Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>
** According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.<ref name=IwataAsks/>
** In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, Shigeki Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 134, July 2000, p.78-79 ([http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php excerpt])</ref>
** At the [[Heahea City]] Game Freak office in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Shigeki Morimoto states that he created Mew, including its pixel art, cry and Pokédex entry (the one reused in {{g|FireRed}}). He also says it was right at the very end of game development.
* In the [[core series]], Mew can only be fought as a [[wild Pokémon]] on [[Faraway Island]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However, this requires the [[Old Sea Map]], an [[event item]] only distributed in Japan and Taiwan.
* Mew has the most anime opening appearances of any Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mew is the only [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon species that is legitimately able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and one of the few that can learn {{m|Attract}}. Both moves fail when used by any Pokémon with unknown gender, including Mew.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear; in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251; and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in [[Generation I]], 251 in [[Generation II]], and 493 in [[Generation IV]]).
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* The US release of Mew as an event for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew was voted the most popular Pokémon in the {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}, which included all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s.
* Mew started the trend of every generation until [[Generation VI]] introducing a Mythical Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.
* At 981 episodes (and over two decades), Mew is the Pokémon species that has taken the longest to physically debut in the main anime series from the start of their generation out of any Pokémon thus far.
* The only ways to legitimately obtain a {{Shiny}} Mew are via the Generation II {{DL|List of PCNY event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|Shiny Mew|Gotta Catch Em All Event}} in Thanksgiving 2002, the [[Old Sea Map]] on a Japanese copy of {{game|Emerald}}, or through the [https://www.leekduck.com/shiny-mew-masterwork-research/ Pokémon Go Mew Masterwork Research] quest, which was available for a limited time in Pokemon GO during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event.
** Only the latter two can exist in modern games, as Gen II's "Gotta Catch Em All" Shiny Mew cannot legitimately be [[transfer|transferred]] to Generation III or later.
* Mew is tied with {{p|Muk}} for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
* Mew has the shortest Korean name of all Pokémon, only consisting of one hangul character.
* Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that [[experience|grows medium-slowly]] and has no three-stage [[evolution]] family.
* Mew is the only Pokémon obtainable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] that cannot have the [[Pokémon GO]] [[origin mark]] ([[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO origin mark]]) in said games.
* Mew is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in Generation I.
* As of [[Generation IX]], Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that does not appear in any regional Pokédex other than [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Designer Shigeki Morimoto stated that Mew's design was based on Mewtwo. Its design was made simpler than Mewtwo in order to take up less space on the cartridge.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyXDpFd1CQk The Untold Origin Story of Mythical Pokémon "Mew" and "Mewtwo"! (Game Freak "Secret Base" #39)] - Game Freak Official YouTube Channel (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/game-freaks-shigeki-morimoto-on-mew-why-it-was-initially-rare-design-more/ Game Freak’s Shigeki Morimoto on Mew – why it was initially rare, design, more] - ''Nintendo Everything''.</ref>

Appearance wise, Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based off of domestic {{wp|cat}}s. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in Japan's Red and Green resembled a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}, featuring a large head and small body. It is believed by scientists to be the {{wp|last universal common ancestor}} of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms.

====Name origin====
Mew may be a combination of ''{{wp|mutant}}'' or ''{{wp|mutation}}'' and ''new''. It may also involve 妙 ''myō'' (wonderful, exquisite).

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

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

Altaria can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Altaria''' using the [[Altarianite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Altaria Wet.png|thumb|left|250px|A wet Mega Altaria in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Altaria is a blue, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue with four toes, three claws forward, and one backward. The tail is made up of five feathers, the outer two being longer than the inner ones.

Mega Altaria has more extensive cloud-like plumage, with a large, fluffy mass extending from its back. The feathers have grown as a self-protective measure, and they glimmer with an iridescent sheen. Its cottony wings are more distinct than in its base form, and its blue belly is now exposed. Additional fluff surrounds its neck like a collar, and its head is adorned with a hat-like crest. A single, small feather curls out from its forehead, though its facial features are unchanged. Its tail feathers have grown into a long, wavy streamer, with three longer central plumes. Mega Altaria's singing voice is even more beautiful than that of its regular form. It is known for its sociable personality and is not timid.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-altaria</ref>

This Pokémon uses its wings to catch updrafts and soar across the sky in a calm and graceful manner. It gracefully glides through the clouds, often while singing or humming in a soprano voice. Its voice seems to have special properties that induce a dreamy state for listeners. Altaria can be very affectionate, enveloping people it has bonded with in its cotton-like wings. While normally kind, Altaria can attack foes with shrill cries without mercy if provoked. According to [[Solana]] Altaria uses geo magnetic fields to navigate their flight, any disturbances can affect their sense of diraction. Altaria is often found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it also inhabits mountain ranges.

==Trivia==
* Altaria is the only {{type|Dragon|Dragon-type}} Pokémon that evolves from a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon whose pre-evolution and [[Mega Evolution]] do not share any types.
* No other Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|same type combination]] as Mega Altaria.
** Mega Altaria is also the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
* Altaria is the quickest Dragon-type Pokémon to reach level 100, needing only 600,000 experience points to do so. It shares this trait with the {{p|Applin}} evolutionary family.
===Origin===
Altaria is likely based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers. Altaria also resembles a {{wp|cockatiel}}, albeit with clouds as wings. Similar characteristics shared with cockatiels include its crest and "cheeks". The resemblance is further expanded upon by Altaria's {{Shiny}} form resembling a {{wp|lutino cockatiel}}, which is famous for its mostly white and yellow coloration.

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

====Name origin====
Altaria may be a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high''; musical {{wp|Part (music)|part}} between tenor and soprano) and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''; musical piece for a single voice). Both words being terminologies used in music relate to Altaria's singing abilities. The name may also refer to the star ''{{wp|Altair}}'', the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for eagle; or the former name of the star {{wp|Delta Draconis}}, ''Altais'', a yellow star in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for dragon.

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

'''Applin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カジッチュ''' ''Kajicchu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flapple}} when exposed to a [[Tart Apple]] or {{p|Appletun}} when exposed to a [[Sweet Apple]].

==Biology==
[[File:Applin body NPSnap.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Applin's body seen in [[New Pokémon Snap]]]]
Applin is a small, worm-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light green body and a dark green underside. Its head is round with two pink nostrils. Above its head are two large leaf-like eyestalks which house its two small black eyes. These eyestalks give the apple it lives in the appearance of having a stem with leaves. It also has two thin hairs on the tip of its tail.

Applin is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also one of the shortest {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. As soon as it's born, it burrows into an apple that looks like a [[Leppa Berry]], which serves as a home, food source, and protection against preying bird Pokémon. The flavor of the apple determines which evolution Applin will evolve into. In Galar it is a custom to give an Applin to the person you want to ask out as a romantic gesture.

==Trivia==
* Applin and its evolved forms:
**are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
**require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon.
* Applin has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Applin appears to be based on the {{wp|larva}}e of various moths, such as the {{wp|geometer moth}} - the larvae of which also known as the inchworm - and the {{wp|codling moth}}, whose larvae burrow into {{wp|apple}}s and feed on its core, inhibiting growth and ripening them earlier. Its evolution methods may be a reference on how the host plant deters its herbivory. It may also be based on the mole lizard, which closely resembles an earthworm, however is classified as an amphisbaenian. As seen in Pokemon Snap, the two protruding arms of the exposed Applin, along with the arms of Flapple, is similar to the mole lizard. Sour wild fruits usually have thicker epidermis and core than the sweeter domesticated varieties, thus Flapple keeping the apple skin and being smaller while Appletun grows bigger and internalizes the whole fruit.

Considering its Dragon typing, it may also be based on {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}}, a dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guards the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Garden of the Hesperides}}. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|biblical serpent}}s, sometimes referred to as dragons, one of which persuades Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit of the {{wp|Tree of the knowledge of good and evil|Tree of knowledge}}, most of the time depicted as an apple. It shares many physical similarities with the {{wp|Lindworm}}, a serpentine dragon with only two arms and no legs (which Applin also has), and whose name is like the "worm" of insect larvae. It may also be a pun on {{wp|wyrm}}.

====Name origin====
Applin may be a combination of ''apple'' and ''inside'' or ''{{wp|Tannin (monster)|tannin}}'', a biblical serpentine dragon.

Kajicchu may be a combination of 齧る ''kajiru'' (to gnaw), 果実 ''kajitsu'' (fruit), and 虫 ''chū'' (bug; worm).

'''Inner Focus''' (Japanese: '''せいしんりょく''' ''Force of Will'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III to VII====
Inner Focus prevents the Pokémon from [[flinch]]ing. However, Pokémon with this Ability can still flinch to a Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Teravolt}}, or {{a|Turboblaze}}.

While some descriptions state that the user flinches, {{m|Focus Punch}} failing due to taking damage is not flinching, so the move is unaffected by Inner Focus.

If the Pokémon is hit by a move that always causes flinching, the message '''"<Pokémon>'s <sc>Inner Focus</sc> prevents flinching!"''' ([[Generation III]]) or '''"<Pokémon> won't flinch because of its Inner Focus!"''' ([[Generation IV]]) will appear.
====Generation VIII====
Inner Focus now also blocks {{a|Intimidate}}.

===Outside of battle===
Inner Focus has no effect outside of battle.

'''Ash's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルカリオ''' ''Satoshi's Lucario'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and his fifty-fifth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash and Riolu.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Riolu, with Ash]]
Lucario's {{pkmn|Egg}} was originally found in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Despite being passed from one {{pkmn|Day Care}} worker to another for a long time, it seemed unwilling to hatch. Eventually, the Egg made its way to the [[Kanto]] region, coming under the care of the [[Nurse Joy]] working in [[Vermilion City]].

While {{Ash}} battled [[Hayden]] in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', the Egg sensed the strong [[Aura]] being emitted by the former and reacted to it. Ash also felt the Egg calling for him. While {{AP|Pikachu}} was being treated at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash followed the call to the room where the Egg was being kept. When the Egg reacted to Ash's presence by rolling towards him, Nurse Joy decided to entrust its care to him.
[[File:Ash Riolu Korrina Lucario.png|thumb|250px|As a Riolu, admiring [[Korrina's Lucario]]]]
The following night, the Egg hatched into a Riolu. As Ash wasn't exuding the same Aura as he had earlier, Riolu didn't recognize him and instantly fled from the [[Cerise Laboratory]] and started attacking various [[wild Pokémon]], although all of them were too strong for it. Ash finally caught up to Riolu as it was getting attacked by an {{p|Onix}}. During the battle against the [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]], Riolu recognized Ash's Aura as the same one it had sensed earlier. With both Pikachu and Riolu attacking Onix, Ash was soon able to drive it away, and then, he took Riolu to the Pokémon Center to be healed. After Nurse Joy treated Riolu, it expressed willingness to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, which he agreed to.

In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R & R!]]'', Ash used Riolu to battle {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s trying to steal Pokémon at the [[Resort Area]], but it was defeated by their {{p|Purugly}}.

In ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'', when Ash traveled to [[Shalour City]] to participate in a Battle Festival Challenge in order to raise his [[World Coronation Series]] rank, Riolu sensed the Aura emanating from [[Korrina's Lucario]] and led Ash and his other Pokémon to it. {{an|Korrina}} took a liking to Riolu and encouraged it to become stronger with Ash. Riolu instantly started admiring to Korrina's Lucario, and it came to the point that when Ash was about to start his battle with Korrina in the Battle Festival Challenge, it showed eagerness to battle, but Ash decided to go with his more experienced Pokémon. During and after the battle, even though Lucario had been defeated, Riolu still showed great admiration towards its evolved form.

In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Riolu battled a {{rf|Galarian}} {{AP|Farfetch'd}}. With a new array of moves at its disposal, it was able to defeat the Farfetch'd, which later joined Ash's [[Party|team]].

In ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', Ash used Riolu in his World Coronation Series match against [[Steve and Tony|Tony]]. Riolu succeeded in defeating Tony's {{p|Electabuzz}}, increasing Ash's World Coronation Series rank in the process.
[[File:JN034.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Riolu, battling Grapploct]]
In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Ash took Riolu with him to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]], where it was used to battle a {{tc|Black Belt}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Bea]], Riolu volunteered to battle her {{p|Grapploct}}, only to be defeated, losing the match and causing Ash's World Coronation Series rank to go down.

In ''[[JN036|Making Battles in the Sand!]]'', Ash used Riolu in two World Coronation Series matches, with the first against an {{p|Octillery}} and the second against a {{p|Tentacruel}}. After his loss against Bea, Ash was insistent on Riolu fighting from a distance, but as they had not trained in this fighting style, Riolu lost both of these battles, resulting in Ash dropping back to the Normal Class.

In ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', Riolu battled {{p|Grapploct}} again following Pikachu's defeat during Ash's second battle against Bea at the [[Cianwood Gym]]. Using a new strategy, Riolu managed to use its opponent's arms to its own advantage. Despite this, the battle ended in a draw.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', Riolu was used alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Dragonite}} to battle a rampaging [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Centiskorch}}. Despite their best efforts, the Centiskorch was only defeated when {{an|Leon}} arrived.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Riolu was sent out to battle [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]'s {{p|Copperajah}} and {{p|Ferrothorn}} with Pikachu at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]. In [[JN045|the next episode]], it evolved into Lucario while protecting Ash and Pikachu from Copperajah and Ferrothorn's attacks. Ash commanded it to use Vacuum Wave, but Lucario instead used its Aura powers to contact him and requested to use Aura Sphere instead. Ash agreed, and they used it to defeat each of Chairman Rose's Pokémon. Lucario then assisted Leon in stopping {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} from attacking [[Galar]]. With the assistance of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, Lucario, Pikachu, and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} combined their powers and weakened Eternatus until it collapsed. Goh then caught Eternatus and sealed it away, putting an end to the [[Darkest Day]].

In ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]'', Ash sent Lucario out to battle {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} on [[Cero Island]], teaming up with Goh's Cinderace after Pikachu had been defeated. However, despite putting in its best effort, Lucario stood no chance against the Genetic Pokémon and was defeated by a massive {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

In ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', Lucario was the first Pokémon Ash sent out during his World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]], going up against his {{p|Luxray}}. However, it was quickly [[recall]]ed after being overwhelmed by a combination of {{m|Electric Terrain}} and {{m|Rising Voltage}}. Lucario was later sent out to battle {{p|Electivire}}, who managed to {{status|paralyze}} Lucario with {{m|Thunder Punch}} before being recalled and replaced by {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|Fan}} {{p|Rotom}}. Enduring a powered-up {{m|Hex}} and an {{m|Air Slash}} from Rotom, Lucario then proceeded to defeat it with Reversal. Lucario subsequently fought against Luxray again and managed to tie with it, thanks to the [[damage]] previously dealt on it by {{AP|Gengar}}.
[[File:Ash Lucario Lucarionite.png|thumb|250px|Lucario's Lucarionite]]
In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Ash and Lucario visited Korrina at the [[Shalour Gym]]. Since Ash was going to be facing many strong opponents in his upcoming World Coronation Series matches, he asked Korrina to help him Mega Evolve his Lucario. Korrina agreed to help and gave Ash a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]], which enhanced Lucario's Aura powers enough for it to sense the location of a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]] off the coast of Shalour City. On Mega Island, Ash and Lucario got separated, but were able to contact each other through Aura and reunite at the Lucarionite's location. Before they could obtain the [[Mega Stone]], however, they were challenged by a man referring to himself as the Mega Evolution Sage (later revealed to be [[Gurkinn]] in disguise), who challenged Ash and Lucario with his Mega {{p|Alakazam}}. While Lucario was paralyzed by Alakazam's {{m|Tri Attack}}, it managed to get past the Psi Pokémon and grab the Lucarionite.
[[File:Ash and Lucario.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario and Ash]]
In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'', Lucario was the second Pokémon Ash used during his second [[rematch]] against Bea at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], being sent out to face Grapploct once again after Pikachu had been recalled from the battle. However, before Lucario could land a single hit on Grapploct, Bea recalled it and sent out {{p|Hawlucha}} in its place. Hawlucha's speed proved troublesome for Lucario, taking heavy damage from a {{m|High Jump Kick}} and a {{m|Sky Attack}}. Bea eventually recalled Hawlucha as well and sent out {{p|Machamp}}, whose four arms were effective in holding Lucario back. Ash tried to escape from the desperate situation by Mega Evolving Lucario, but Lucario refused to do so, managing to escape from Machamp's grasp without help. Ash apologized to Lucario for having tried to rush things, and the battle resumed.

In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', after Lucario had managed to land a Reversal on Machamp with its feet, Ash chose to substitute it for {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}. Later, once Sirfetch'd and Pikachu had been defeated, Lucario was sent back out against Grapploct as Ash's last Pokémon standing. Wanting to preserve Lucario's strength for Machamp, Ash aimed for and succeeded in defeating Grapploct with a single blow, thanks to all the damage the Jujitsu Pokémon had already taken. Lucario then faced Machamp again, now allowing itself to be Mega Evolved, while Bea Gigantamaxed Machamp. Lucario was able to deal heavy hits on Machamp while surviving its [[Max Move]]s and signature {{m|G-Max Chi Strike}}. Machamp soon returned to normal, and attempted to use the [[critical hit]] boost from G-Max Chi Strike to its advantage while attacking with {{m|Bullet Punch}}, which Lucario met with a {{m|Force Palm}}. In the midst of the clash, Force Palm suddenly transformed into {{m|Steel Beam}}, which overpowered Machamp and defeated it, making Ash the winner and increasing his rank.
[[File:Ash Greninja training Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Lucario training with Greninja to strengthen its Aura]]
In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', Lucario, along with {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}}, was stolen and taken away through a portal by [[Alternate World Team Rocket]]. In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Lucario [[Devolution|devolved]] back into Riolu and finally an Egg as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal, with Lucario returning to Ash's team in the process.

In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Lucario was Ash's second Pokémon in a [[Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}. Although it managed to land some strong hits on Articuno, it was ultimately defeated by a powerful {{m|Blizzard}}.

In [[JN108]], Ash and Lucario arrived in [[Kalos]] to seek out [[Ash's Greninja]] for help in training for their upcoming World Coronation Series battle against [[Raihan]]. While camping out in a forest for the night, they were attacked by a group of [[Giant Rock|giant roots]], but were quickly saved by Greninja. Wanting to see how strong Ash's former Pokémon was, Lucario immediately accepted a sparring match with Greninja. However, Lucario was easily defeated when it couldn't keep up with Greninja's speed and power. Frustrated, Lucario then proceeded to run off, but was quickly followed by Greninja. Lucario listened to Greninja's advice in strengthening its aura abilities by finding perfect balance. However, after sensing another group of the giant roots attacking Ash and Goh, Lucario and Greninja rushed back to help the boys. Lucario and Greninja worked together to take the roots down through a combination of Aura Sphere and {{m|Water Shuriken}}, after which Ash and Greninja parted ways once again.

In [[JN109]], Ash used Lucario as his last Pokémon against Raihan, going against his {{p|Duraludon}}, who was Gigantamaxed immediately after being sent out. Due to Ash having Gigantamaxed his Gengar earlier in the match, he wasn't allowed to Mega Evolve Lucario. While Lucario's initial attacks seemed to unfaze its opponent, it was able to utilize the teachings from Greninja to grow its Aura Sphere into massive proportions and defeat the Alloy Pokémon, allowing Ash to advance to the Master Class.

In [[JN114]], Ash visited [[Pallet Town]] and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Lucario. During the visit, Lucario trained with {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Buizel}}, and {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Ash then used Lucario as his first Pokémon in his battle against [[Paul]], using it against his {{p|Gyarados}}. During the battle, Lucario learned {{m|Bullet Punch}}, and was able to defeat Gyarados. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

In [[JN124]], Lucario was the last Pokémon that Ash used in his [[Masters Tournament]] match against {{an|Cynthia}}. It was sent out to face Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}}, which was [[Dynamax]]ed soon into the confrontation.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario using its Aura vision]]
Lucario, like other members of its species, responds to [[Aura]]. As such, it developed a subconscious connection to Ash before it even hatched. As a Riolu, it displayed a very headstrong personality, attacking [[wild Pokémon]] and even Ash, as if it had something to prove. Despite being a [[baby Pokémon]], it disliked being coddled and generally seemed very independent. At the same time, it appeared to respect Ash as a Trainer, and it could be seen following him and {{AP|Pikachu}} around [[Cerise Laboratory]]. This is in contrast to the other Pokémon Ash has caught in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', who generally wander around and do their own thing. It also had an eagerness to battle, as seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', when it let itself out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} on its own to battle a Galarian {{AP|Farfetch'd}}.
[[File:Ash Lucario Goh Cinderace.png|thumb|250px|Lucario and Cinderace]]
After evolving, Lucario's control of Aura improved, as seen in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', where it used its Aura to tell Ash it had learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}. In ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'', it used its ability to see Auras to locate a {{p|Bruxish}} during the [[Pokémon Catch Adventure Race]]. After Ash received a [[Key Stone]] from {{an|Korrina}} in ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Lucario's Aura abilities increased significantly, allowing it to find its Trainer from a great distance.

Lucario seems to have attained a more stoic personality, although it is still prone to acts of immaturity, as demonstrated in ''[[JN048|A Close Call... Practically!]]'', where {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}'s cheerful personality and antics clashed with its stoic attitude and caused it to get frustrated at Cinderace on multiple occasions, even angrily chasing it when pushed far enough. Despite this, Lucario has shown to get along with Cinderace, often hanging out with it at [[Cerise Laboratory|Cerise Park]]. Lucario is also loyal to its friends, and would do anything to protect them. Lucario is shown to have mellowed out with time and has become more open in expressing affection for Ash, but still shows a strong love for battling.

Lucario has occasionally shown to be jealous of those who share a close relationship with Ash, as seen with Pikachu in its [[JN021|debut episode]] and with {{AP|Greninja}} in [[JN108]]. However, it would quickly let go of its grudges after befriending them.

==Trivia==
[[File:GO Egg 12 km.png|thumb|150px|A 12 km Egg in {{g|GO}}]]
* As a Riolu, Lucario was Ash's first:
** [[Baby Pokémon]].
** Capture of a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon since {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', 483 episodes earlier.
** Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' to not be obtained in its fully evolved form.
** Pokémon in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' that did not originate from [[Generation I]].
** Pure {{t|Fighting}} type since {{AP|Primeape}}, who was {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', 1,081 episodes earlier.
** Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] outside of the [[region]] it was obtained in since {{AP|Quilava}}, who was caught as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} in [[Johto]] and evolved in [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', 482 episodes earlier.
* Lucario spent only 24 episodes as a Riolu after hatching, making it the fastest evolved hatched Pokémon out of all the protagonists.
* Lucario is the first of Ash's Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
* As the first Egg shown in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'', Riolu's Egg was the debut of a new standard for the series. These Eggs more closely resemble the generic Egg designs from the [[core series]] games with spots related to the main color of the Pokémon that will be hatched. In particular, the pattern of spots seen on Riolu's Egg matched the one seen on all types of [[List of Eggs (GO)|Egg]] in [[Pokémon GO]] at the time of its appearance.
** At the time ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'' aired in Japan, Riolu could be found in 7 km Eggs in Pokémon GO.
** Riolu and other baby Pokémon were also featured in a [[Wild Area News]] [[Wild Area News#April 10 to April 15, 2020|event]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} at the time.

(Japanese: '''ライラ''' ''Lyla'') is a recurring character who first appeared in [[JN110]]. She is one of the Challengers taking part in [[Project Mew]].

==History==
Lyla was first seen approaching [[Shunya]] after he had defeated two other Challengers whilst taking part in the battle royale [[Field Research|Trial Mission]] at [[Sea Mauville]]. Lyla proposed teaming up with Shunya to pass the mission, which he accepted. They continued to explore Sea Mauville, defeating fellow challengers and evading the {{p|Roselia}} and {{p|Magby}} that [[Danika]] unleashed to make the mission harder.

Later, they came across [[Goh]] and [[Horace]] and made them think that Lyla's Liepard was defeated. This was soon revealed to be a trick, allowing Shunya and Lyla to attack Horace's {{p|Gardevoir}}, causing it serious [[damage]]. Lyla teamed up with Shunya to battle [[Goh's Inteleon]], but Goh was successful in defeating Liepard, causing Lyla to fail the mission. Lyla then joined with all the other challengers and Danika and received a video message from [[Quillon]].

In [[JN113]], Lyla appeared at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where {{Gary}} and [[Goh]] were taking part in a Project Mew mission. Afterwards, she watched as they took on an {{p|Regidrago}} and {{p|Regieleki}}, which they proceeded to catch, completing the mission.

'''Litwick''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトモシ''' ''Hitomoshi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lampent}} starting at [[level]] 41, which evolves into {{p|Chandelure}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]].

==Biology==
Litwick is a small, {{wp|candle}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a purple flame atop its head, which is powered by life energy that it absorbs. Its body and two stubby arms are made primarily out of white wax. The folded, melted wax lays over its right eye and leaves only the bright yellow left eye visible. It has a small smile under a protruding upper lip. Litwick pretends to guide people and Pokémon around by illuminating darkened areas. However, it is actually sucking away their life energy and leading them to the Ghost World. [[BW026|In the anime]], the flame is shown to grow as it continually absorbs life energy and they can interfere with electronic devices like Pokedexes.

==In the anime==
[[File:Leader Litwick.png|thumb|left|250px|Litwick in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Four Litwick debuted in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', where they, along with a {{p|Lampent}}, tried to take {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} to the [[Ghost World]].

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|In the Dark}}'', multiple Litwick were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} in order to light up a dark cave for Ash. However, Hoopa summoned so many that it rudely awakened a group of {{p|Noivern}}, {{p|Noibat}}, {{p|Sableye}}, and {{p|Carbink}}.

In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}} used a Ltwick in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Goh|Golurk}}. It quickly retreated after Golurk managed to repel its {{m|Fire Spin}}. Litwick reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', a Litwick was mixed up with candles designed after them.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Litwick was living at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau, as well as a fellow resident, a {{p|Gulpin}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Litwick appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

Six Trainers' Litwick appeared in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', with one appearing in a flashback. They were among the Pokémon attending the [[Wela Fire Festival‎]].

In ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', a Litwick was an illusion created by a {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Litwick appeared in [[JN056]], under the ownership of [[Wikstrom]]. It provided light inside the [[Hall of Chivalry]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Unova}}
{{Animedexbody|BW026|Litwick|Ash's Pokédex|Litwick, the Candle Pokémon. Litwick appear to be helping to guide the way of people by illuminating areas that are darkened, but in reality they are actually leading them to the [[Ghost World]]. They feed off the life energy of [[Human|people]] and Pokémon, and use it as fuel for the flames on their heads.}}

===Pokémon Adventures===

==Trivia==
* Litwick, along with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, and {{me|Camerupt}}, has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Litwick is tied with {{p|Yamask}} for the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Likewise, Litwick ties with [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Darmanitan|Zen Mode Darmanitan]] for the lowest base Attack stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* Litwick is tied with {{p|Scorbunny}} for the smallest {{type|Fire}} Pokemon

===Origin===
Litwick may be based on a {{wp|candle}} and the {{wp|hitodama}} or {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}s.

====Name origin====
Litwick may be a combination of ''lit'' (past tense of ''to light'') and ''{{wp|Candle wick|wick}}''. ''Lit'' might also refer to ''little'', while ''wick'' might refer to ''wicked''.

Hitomoshi may be derived from 火点し ''hitomoshi'', which means ''to light a lamp'' but also describes the person who leads a funeral procession in Japan with a torch, matching its Pokédex entry saying it leads people astray and then sucks out their life force. It may also derive from 人燃し ''hitomoshi'' (to burn a man [to death]).

'''Ponyta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポニータ''' ''Ponyta'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Rapidash}} starting at [[level]] 40.

In [[Galar]], Ponyta has a {{type|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Rapidash starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Ponyta is an equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur. It has brown eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors. Yellow and reddish-orange flames form its mane and tail. The mane forms a short crest on top of its head and a short strip down its back to its tail. Additional flames are present behind its elbows and knees. The fire appears about an hour after hatching. It has four long legs, each ending in a single, gray hoof. These hooves are said to be ten times harder than diamond and act as shock absorbers.

Ponyta are relatively lightweight for their size, having extraordinary jumping abilities and capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. However, a newborn Ponyta is a weak runner and is actually barely able to stand. It gradually strengthens its legs and becomes faster by chasing after its parents. [[EP033|In the anime,]] it is shown that Ponyta can control its flames so that its rider is not burned by them. Ponyta live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, on plains, or anywhere that it can run freely.

In the [[Galar]] region, Ponyta has adapted to forests by being exposed to the life energy from it. It has chalk-white fur; long, purple-and-blue, cloudy fur that is also on top of its dark-purple hooves; purple eyes with light-blue irises; and a purple-and-white horn on top of its forehead.

Galarian Ponyta can absorb the life energy located in the atmosphere and store it in its mane, which will then become more colorful and potentially release a shining glow if there is a lot of energy to use.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/ponyta/</ref> The small horn contains a healing power. Ponyta can heal any slight wounds with a few rubs from its horn. By looking into the eyes of a person, it can read the contents of the heart. Should Ponyta find any evil, it will promptly go back into hiding. As show in JN55, Galarian Ponyta can send pleas for help in the form of visions to people. Even if their faraway in another reigon.

==Trivia==
* In August 2007, employees of [[Game Freak]] put {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon distributions|Psyduck|several Japanese Psyduck}} up on the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] for an American Ponyta.
* Ponyta is one of the fourteen Pokémon the player can collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Ponyta's Stadium and FireRed [[Pokédex]] entries state that it can jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} and {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}}, which exist in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Real-world locations mentioned|real world]]. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referenced in the Japanese versions of Stadium and FireRed.

===Origin===
Ponyta and its evolved form are based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those belonging to the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}, or the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in {{wp|Hindu mythology}}. The fire in its {{Shiny}} coloration refers to blue {{wp|fire}}, which generally indicates a higher temperature than orange fire but may also be caused by certain chemicals burning at a normal temperature.

Galarian Ponyta may be based on the modern depiction of a {{wp|unicorn}} and a {{wp|Shetland pony}}.

====Name origin====
Ponyta is derived from ''{{wp|pony}}'', a small horse. It phonetically sounds like the foreign word ''bonita'' (''pretty'' in Spanish, Basque, and Catalan; ''beautiful'' in Portuguese and Galician; ''goodness'' in Latin). It may also derive from ''ponytail''.

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

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Lapras has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|200px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a large sea Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

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

As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.

5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to Oleana Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body as the shell has a logarithmic structure.

Gigantamax Lapras is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Resonance}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. After the completion of the main story arc, Lapras will be recruitable after the player has established 100 connections.

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

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

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

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

Egg Move

2020-04-12T23:21:39Z

Swonic:

{{incomplete|section|needs=Sword and Shield Nursery mechanics}}
An '''Egg Move'''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/the-details-of-discovering-pokemon-eggs/ The Details of Discovering Pokémon Eggs | Pokemon.com]</ref> (Japanese: '''タマゴわざ''' ''Egg Move'') is a special [[move]] that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is able to inherit through {{pkmn|breeding}} from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other means.

Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any [[TM]]/[[HM]] moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible [[Move Tutor]] moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a bred {{p|Pichu}} will know {{m|Volt Tackle}} if either of its parents are holding a [[Light Ball]]. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves.

==Mechanics==
===Breeding===
If either parent (only the male parent prior to [[Generation VI]]) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's [[Pokémon (species)|species]], that child will be born knowing the move.

For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} that knows {{m|Flare Blitz}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage and Flare Blitz (or only Outrage, prior to Generation VI).

===Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves===
There are some situations where it is possible to encounter a Pokémon that knows an Egg Move in the wild.

* In {{game|Emerald}}, {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} encountered through a [[mass outbreak]] will know {{m|Leech Seed}}, a move otherwise only available to them as an Egg Move.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is possible to encounter {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} that already know a random Egg Move as their first move. A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on {{rt|102|Hoenn}} in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a specific Egg Move as their first move.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Pokémon obtained via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} will know a specific Egg Move (unless they have none).
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Brilliant Pokémon]] will know a random Egg Move.

===Pokémon Nursery transference===
In [[Generation VIII]], if two Pokémon of the same species are placed together in the [[Pokémon Nursery]], if one of the Pokémon has an empty move slot and the other knows an Egg Move, the Pokémon with the empty slot will learn the Egg Move. This will occur even if the Pokémon are the same [[gender]].

Egg Moves are transferred in the same order they appear on the move list; if the Pokémon learning moves has fewer move slots than the number of Egg Moves known by the other Pokémon, only the moves highest up on the teaching Pokémon's move list are learned, up to the number of empty slots.

Since hatched Pokémon cannot have the [[Gigantamax]] Factor, this is the only way for Gigantamax Pokémon to learn Egg Moves.

===Relearning Egg Moves===
From [[Generation VI]] onward, any move that a Pokémon knew when it hatched can be taught to it again by the [[Move Reminder]] if it ever forgets it. Forgotten hatched moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.

Egg Moves transferred through the [[Pokémon Nursery]] in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be relearned from the Move Reminder if forgotten.

==Limitations==
===Mutually-exclusive Egg Moves===
Prior to [[Generation VI]], Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Starting in Generation VI, this is no longer an issue, due to both parents being able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time.

For example, {{p|Tentacool}} can learn both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]] can possess both moves at the same time in any game prior to Generation VI, so it is impossible for Tentacool to inherit both moves together. However, starting in Generation VI, both parents are able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time, making it possible for a Tentacool to inherit these moves if each of its parents knows one of the moves.

====Incense breeding====
For families that have [[baby Pokémon]] which can only be produced when using [[Incense]], often the baby Pokémon and its evolved form have different Egg Moves. If each has an Egg Move that the other does not, and both moves are only available to that family as Egg Moves, the two moves become mutually exclusive.

For example, starting in [[Generation VI]], {{p|Budew}} has {{m|Extrasensory}} as an Egg Move while {{p|Roselia}} has {{m|Bullet Seed}} as an Egg Move, but neither has the other move as their own Egg Move. Because in Generation VI the Roselia line only has access to both moves as Egg Moves, a Roselia cannot know both moves simultaneously.

===Unobtainable Egg Moves===
Sometimes a move is programed as an Egg Move for a certain Pokémon, but there is no way of legitimately obtaining it. This happens when a Pokémon has an Egg Move that no Pokémon in their Egg Group can learn except as an Egg Move and there are no valid chain breeding pathways, or when the only Pokémon in their Egg Group that can learn the move cannot pass it to the Pokémon. This cannot occur for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}, due to male {{p|Smeargle}} being able to pass down any Egg Move.

The following is a full list of all unobtainable Egg Moves.

==Advanced techniques==
===Chain breeding===
{{main|Chain breeding}}
In some cases, a Pokémon species has an Egg Move, but other Pokémon in its Egg Group can also only learn that move as an Egg Move. In such cases, the move must be bred through a series of intermediate Pokémon that are in multiple Egg Groups. This process is referred to by fans as chain breeding.

For example, {{p|Spinda}} can learn {{m|Wish}} as an Egg Move and is in the {{egg|Field}} and {{egg3|Human-Like}}s, but the other Pokémon in those Egg Groups can only learn Wish as an Egg Move. To solve this, a Pokémon like {{p|Skitty}} could learn the move as an Egg Move from {{p|Togetic}}, then breed it onto a Spinda.

===Smeargle===
Because {{p|Smeargle}} can learn almost any move by using {{m|Sketch}}, a male Smeargle can pass down any Egg Move to its offspring. This makes passing down Egg Moves to Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}} (Smeargle's Egg Group) simpler.

Some Egg Moves require a Smeargle to be initially passed down, due to no other male parents existing in that Egg Group. For example, in [[Generation VII]], {{p|Lillipup}} can learn {{m|Psychic Fangs}} as an Egg Move, but no Pokémon other than Smeargle in the {{egg3|Field}} can learn Psychic Fangs other than as an Egg Move, and no chain breeding pathway exists, so Smeargle is required to initially pass down Psychic Fangs to Lillipup.

Since Smeargle can have any combination of possible Egg Moves to pass down to its offspring, there are no mutually-exclusive Egg Moves for any Pokémon in the Field Egg Group in any generation.

===Previous generation Egg Moves===
Some Pokémon have Egg Moves that no other Pokémon in their [[Egg Group]] can learn in that generation, but that an appropriate parent Pokémon in an earlier generation was able to learn.

For example, from [[Generation V]] onward {{p|Bagon}} can learn {{m|Defense Curl}} as an Egg Move, but no other families in the {{egg3|Dragon}} can learn Defense Curl in these generations. However, Defense Curl is a [[Move Tutor]] move in {{game|Emerald}} and a [[TM]] move in [[Generation II]], where it can be taught to some Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group (Alternately, in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Bagon encountered as {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} can know any Egg Move, including Defense Curl). One of these Pokémon is required to initially pass down Defense Curl to Bagon.

===Event-exclusive Egg Moves===
Some Pokémon have Egg Moves that no Pokémon in their [[Egg Group]] can learn except as an Egg Move, but a Pokémon in their Egg Group that knows the move was once available.

For example, from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, {{p|Dratini}} can learn {{m|Extreme Speed}} as an Egg Move, but no Pokémon in the {{egg3|Dragon}} can learn Extreme Speed other than as an Egg Move. However, in {{game|Crystal}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver, a {{pkmn2|gift}} Dratini received in the [[Dragon's Den]] can know Extreme Speed; additionally, in Generation V and VI there have been event distributions of a {{p|Dragonite}} that knows Extreme Speed. One of these gift or event distribution Pokémon is required to initially pass down Extreme Speed to Dratini.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will know Egg Moves. They will know enough moves to fill their initial moveset, meaning that a species with one move at level 1 will be given three random Egg Moves. Additionally, in Explorers of Sky, some choices for the player and partner's species will initially know a set Egg Move. Egg Moves cannot be relearned if the player chooses to forget them.

Although Eggs are no longer present from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onwards, [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]] return to giving an Egg Move to certain starter Pokémon species. Unlike Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, they can be relearned by the player and even taught to other Pokémon of that species.

==In the anime==
In SS21 Professor Sakuragi told Ash and Go a story of a Jigglypuff who sang to an Azurill egg everyday. When it hatched Azurill already knew Sing.

'''Sandaconda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サダイジャ''' ''Sadaija'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Silicobra}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Sandaconda has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Sandaconda is a tan serpent Pokémon with a black and brown pattern resembling cracked earth. Around its neck is a dark brown ring, its neck pouch, featuring the same pattern as the rest of its long body, which is coiled in a spiral shape. It has lime green eyes with red bags underneath them and a snout with two prominent nostrils and two fangs.

Sandaconda uses its inflated sand pouch to protect its head from harm. The pouch can store up to 220 pounds of sand for a time. The pouch is very elastic and thick to the point a {{p|Durant}}'s pincers cannot harm it. Sandaconda can contract its body to spray the sand stored in the pouch through its nose with tremendous force, and its unique method of coiling allows it to blast its sand more efficiently. The sand is mixed with sharp pieces of gravel, making it so dangerous that just coming in contact with it will cause lacerations. While Sandaconda may act tough and confident, it will become timid and cowardly the moment it runs out of sand.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/sandaconda/</ref> Sandaconda is a natural predator of {{p|Durant}}.

As Gigantamax Sandaconda, it becomes larger and standing on its tail like a cobra. The body, decorated by brown and black diamond markings, has coiled around with the head and neck in middle to resemble that of a tornado. The neck pouch enlarges and becomes a swirling mass of mottled brown sand. Three red clouds float above its head and its eye color changes to bright red.

When Gigantamaxed, the sand overflows from the pouch and forms a ring around Sandaconda's neck, with total amount of sand swirling around its body now reaching 1,000,000 tons. Gigantamax Sandaconda resembles an enormous tornado, and it attacks by spinning its body at high speeds, causing the sand to move at incredible speeds and inflicting massive damage to anything that touches it. It is powerful enough to pulverize a skyscraper in this way.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-sandaconda/</ref>

Gigantamax Sandaconda is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Sandblast}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Sandaconda appears to be based on an {{wp|anaconda}}, though it may also be based on various desert-dwelling {{wp|snake}}s, such as the {{wp|Crotalus cerastes|sidewinder}}, a snake that uses coiling and rippling motions to travel across sandy dunes. It also may be based on a double-barreled gun. Sandaconda may also be based on the Spider Ball Python, a pet snake thats popularly sold due to its markings. But they are born with genetic defects like brain damage, not knowing where directions are and sometimes coiling and wrapping inside itself.

Its Gigantamax form may be based on a {{wp|dust devil}}.

====Name origin====
Sandaconda may be a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|anaconda}}''.

Sadaija may be a combination of 沙 ''sa'' (sand) and 大蛇 ''daija'' (serpent).

'''Orbeetle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イオルブ''' ''Eolb'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dottler}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Blipbug}}. It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Orbeetle is a beetle-like Pokémon with a large head that resembles the body of a ladybug. The shell is red with seven black spots and a black underside. Its face is black and white with yellow antenna that resembles eyebrows and blue eyes with white rings. Its actual body is much smaller. It is mostly black with thin limbs and sharp yellow legs. Its arms have two claws and its feet are pointed.

Orbeetle are famous for their large brains and high intelligence. Its large brain is proof of the immense psychic power it possesses. Orbeetle emits its psychic powers to study and observe its surroundings, including objects over six miles away. Because of their power, Orbeetle rarely use their wings to fly, but use their psychic powers to lift their entire bodies, much like {{p|Alakazam}}.

As Gigantamax Orbeetle, its body and brain drastically increase in size to resemble a flying saucer. Its wings disappear when in this form. The black spot on its head change to blue with white rings. Underneath the brain is five yellow half-orbs, each having three blue rings that split the orb into three, with a fourth black circle underneath it. At the center is a blue half-orb connected by nine blue lines. The orb shines a bright light that can move around similar to a flying saucer. Three red clouds float underneath blue orb. The rest of Orbeetle's body is infused into a black orb with blue lines. These lines connect to blue half circles which are connected to the head, arms, and legs.

Due to Gigantamaxing, its brain and body have grown to a gargantuan size. As a result, its psychic power and intelligence have become overwhelming. Should Gigantamax Orbeetle use a slight bit of power it has, it can control the minds of every living being within the vicinity.

Gigantamax Orbeetle is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Gravitas}}.

==Trivia==
* No Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Orbeetle and its {{p|Dottler|pre-evolution}}.

===Origin===
Orbeetle may be based on a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}, specifically ''{{wp|Coccinella septempunctata}}'', and a cartoonish "mad scientist" robot. It may also take inspiration from {{wp|hypnosis}} and {{wp|brainwashing}}. In addition, its high-level intellect, the enlargement of its brain, and its observant cold nature may be a reference to stereotypical {{wp|supervillain}}s common in popular culture, whose shared objective is to achieve world domination via mind control. The color of Orbeetle's eyes may be a reference to the Green eyed wasp, a wasp that lives in the British Isle's that hypnotizes Ladybugs to guard its eggs and later gets eaten by that hatch-lings. Orbeetle may also be a reference to a Japanese toy called the Radar bug. Its [[Gigantamax]] form may be based on common depictions of {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFOs}}.

====Name origin====
Orbeetle may be a combination of ''orb'', ''{{wp|orbit}}'', ''orbital'', and ''{{wp|Coccinellidae|lady beetle}}''.

Eolb may be a combination of ''eol'' (Irish for knowledge) or ''{{wp|Io (moon)|Io}}'' and ''orb''.

'''Laverre City''' (Japanese: '''クノエシティ''' ''Kunoe City'') is a town located in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. It sits at the base of an ancient tree which now houses the [[Laverre Gym]].

==Slogan==
'''''The city of otherworldly dreams.''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ちょっぴり　不思議の　街}}''' ''The city that is a little bit mysterious.'')

==Places of interest==
===Laverre Gym===
{{main|Laverre Gym}}
The Laverre Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Laverre City, whose Gym Leader is [[Valerie]] and specializes in {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}
The [[Kalos]] region has its Pokémon Fan Club located in Laverre City. The [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every [[region]]. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.

A member of the club will rate the [[friendship]] of the first Pokémon in the {{player}}'s party, while another will award a Pokémon with an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Effort Ribbon}} if it has attained the maximum number of [[Effort Values|effort points]], 510.

===Gym Badge Storyteller===
In the house next to the Pokémon Fan Club, there is a lady who can tell which Pokémon were with the player when they beat a [[Gym]] by looking at its corresponding [[Badge]].

===Café===
In the northeastern part of town is a café the player pays to enter. Daily, patrons inside will show off a Pokémon that is indexed by the [[Pokédex]] if previously unseen. More Pokémon may be seen depending on where the player chooses to sit, including [[Legendary Pokémon]]. If the player has seen every Pokémon available inside the Café, the waiter will comment and ask if they are sure about paying to come in. If the player decides not to enter, the waiter will tell the player that he will make the Café into something they will love by their next visit. Similar cafés can be found in [[Cyllage City]] and [[Anistar City]].

===Move Tutor===
A [[Move Tutor]] will teach {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, or {{m|Water Pledge}} to [[starter Pokémon]], but only if the Pokémon's [[friendship]] is as high as possible.

==In the anime==
[[File:Laverre City anime.png|thumb|250px|Laverre City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Laverre City first appeared at the end of ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', on {{an|Serena}}'s [[Town Map]].

Laverre City was first officially shown in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at the city for Ash's sixth Gym match. They, however, found out it wasn't possible for Valerie, the Gym Leader, to have a Gym battle as a fashion show as scheduled for the day. At the Laverre Gym, {{an|Clemont}} met up with [[Sawyer]] again with Ash, Serena and {{an|Bonnie}} meeting him for the first time. Ash and Sawyer then had a [[Double Battle]], but it was interrupted by the commotion of the fashion show. At the fashion show, Sawyer had a battle against Valerie, but lost. In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Ash had his Gym battle with Valerie and won, earning the {{badge|Fairy}}. In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash and his friends remained in Laverre City to help Sawyer search for his missing notebook. After retrieving Saywer's notebook from {{TRT}}, Ash and Sawyer had three-on-three battle which Ash won. Afterwards, the group separated from Sawyer and headed for [[Dendemille Town]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
After failing to stop [[Team Flare]] from transporting {{p|Xerneas}}' dormant form to their base, the {{chap|X & Y}}'s main quintet went to Laverre City. There, as the city's hospital took in [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] residents left unconscious by mind control, the quintet's Pokémon received special training from [[Gurkinn]]. A while later, {{adv|X}}, using clues that a wild {{p|Klefki}} gathered, decided to leave for [[Team Flare]]'s headquarters by himself.

==Trivia==
* The clock on the tree behind the [[Laverre Gym]] has 13 hours shown on it. Which may be a reference to the Witching Hour or the Devil's hour when black magic or supernatural creatures were said to appear and be at their most powerful. Some also believe that the 13th hour is when the fairy realm and the human realm come together.
* There are many cities in northern France which could correspond to Laverre City, but one likely counterpart is the city of {{wp|Boulogne-sur-Mer}}, which was founded in Roman antiquity, is heavily forested, and lies within Caps et Marais d'Opale Regional Park, or {{wp|Lille}}, the fourth biggest city and the industrial capital of France.
* In the southwestern corner of the city lives a man named Gaddy who will tell the {{player}} a "scintillating story". His daughter says she has an uncle in [[Hoenn]], referring to {{DL|Pokémon Center men|Giddy}} from {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|and}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation VII]], and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible. At an unknown point in time, Lance, either as an Elite Four member or Champion, had a battle with [[Professor Kukui]], which he apparently won.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} [[HM]] for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

Lance also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]s. In Stadium, he is the final member of the Elite Four, and in Stadium 2, he is the final Trainer in the Johto Gym Leader Castle, and must be defeated in order to gain access to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Notably, Stadium is the only game to date where Lance isn't seen using his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.

I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.

:''"It takes two passwords to get into the [[Petrel|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''

*After entering the generator room
:''"Hey! Don't be so selfish. Spread the fun around."''

*After defeating Ariana
:''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''

*If player tries to leave their side
:''"Leave this side to me."''

*After defeating all Electrode
:''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The <sc>Lake</sc> should be back to normal. You're the hero! Let me thank you on behalf of all the <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Oh, yes. You should take this. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it. That's <sc>{{m|Whirlpool}}</sc>. Teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the <sc>Badge</sc> from <sc>[[Mahogany Gym]]</sc>. <player>… The journey to becoming the <sc>Pokémon Master</sc> is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? … I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"I’ve been waiting for you. <Player>! I knew that you, with your skills, would eventually reach me here. There's no need for words now. We will battle to determine who is the stronger of the two of us. As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…It's over. But it's an odd feeling. I’m not angry that I lost. In fact, I feel happy. Happy that I witnessed the rise of a great new <sc>Champion</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Whew. You have become truly powerful, <player>. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> have responded to your strong and upstanding nature. As a trainer, you will continue to grow strong with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''
:''"This is getting to be a bit too noisy… <Player>, could you come with me?"''

;[[Hall of Fame]]
:''"It's been a long time since I last came here. This is where we honor the <sc>League Champions</sc> for all eternity. Their courageous <sc>Pokémon</sc> are also inducted. Here today, we witnessed the rise of a new <sc>League Champion</sc>--a trainer who feels compassion for, and trust toward, all <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A trainer who succeeded through perseverance and determination. The new <sc>League Champion</sc> who has all the makings of greatness! <Player>, allow me to register you and your partners as <sc>Champions</sc>!

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|250px|thumb|Lance in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
Lance is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is also a member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] detective organization.

Lance debuted in a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He later physically debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was sent to investigate [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]]. He met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there, saving the trio from some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Lance went on to infiltrate Team Rocket's base, and stole a Grunt uniform to remain undiscovered. He went on to learn that Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash and his friends were later captured by [[Professor Sebastian]] and Tyson after they tried to intervene in their plans. Lance remained undetected, joining Team Rocket's convoy and helping them transport the Red Gyarados away from the Lake of Rage.

In ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', Lance helped Ash's group escape and defeated the [[Team Rocket trio]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Lance was then able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} and defeated his two {{p|Fearow}}. Meanwhile, Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance used his Dragonite to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Gyarados and he then {{pkmn2|caught}} it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. [[Clair]] informed Ash and his friends that Lance had previously trained for several months at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] in order to perfect his experience with {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon.

====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Lance helped stop the rampage of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon AG)|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated [[Team Magma]]'s submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after the confrontation, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the [[Red Orb]] that controlled Groudon. Lance's Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.

=====[[New series]]=====
[[File:Lance SS.png|thumb|250px|Lance in the new series]]
Lance, now wearing his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} attire, reappeared in [[SS012]], having trained in the Hammerlocke Gym, obtaining a Dynamax band and winning the Dream Showdown in Driftveil City's Pokemon World Tournament, he was invited to Galar to battle the [[Galar League]] Champion [[Leon]] in the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Using his [[Dynamax Band]], he was able to [[Dynamax]] his Red Gyarados against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}, which Leon [[Gigantamax]]ed in response. After a fierce battle, Gyarados was defeated, and Lance congratulated his opponent of having just become the World Champion. He also revealed that he had visited [[Hammerlocke Stadium|Galar's Dragon-type Gym]], and had been so impressed by the [[Clothing|uniforms]] there that he had chosen to base his current outfit on them.

====Character====
Lance cares deeply for his Pokémon, and he regards them as friends. He takes his role as a part of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] seriously and maintains his conviction towards keeping the {{pkmn|world}} at peace. Lance often disguises himself to infiltrate evil organizations in order to gain valuable information before leaping into action.

Lance is largely independent, but still receives assistance from allies like [[Officer Jenny]]. He quickly befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after realizing that they were also concerned for [[Red Gyarados]]'s safety. He then enlisted their assistance to deal with [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Lake of Rage]] crisis. Lance was surprised to re-encounter Ash and the others in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and worked with them to disrupt [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s plans in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

Lance is an incredibly strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In [[SS012]], he was revealed to have won the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in [[Driftveil City]], as well as been strong enough to reach the finals of the Pokémon World Championships, in which eight of the strongest Trainers from their respective [[region]]s had gathered to compete for the title of World Champion. He was even able to hold his own against [[Leon]], the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Galar]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Pupitar (which Silver promptly returned, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

'''Drednaw''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カジリガメ''' ''Kajirigame'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chewtle}} starting at [[level]] 22. It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
{{incomplete|section|Describing Drednaw and Gigantamax Drednaw's appearance}}

Drednaw is a large quadruped turtle-like Pokémon. It has an orange crest with a brown shell and a tan underbelly.

Drednaw's sharp jagged fangs are powerful enough to chomp on rock and iron. It can move very fast despite how extremely heavy the shell on its back is. This highly aggressive Pokémon can extend its neck very quickly to chomp down on its enemies. Drednaw are notoriously vicious to the point it requires a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} to fully tame and handle it. Some Trainers will release Drednaw into the wild once they find they are unable to handle it.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/drednaw/</ref>

In its Gigantamax transformation, it stands on it hind legs in a bipedal position. Drednaw uses its massive body to crush its opponents and then its massive jaws to finish them off. The power of its jaws has been enhanced to the point where it can bite through metal towers. By combining the strength of its jaws and powerful neck, Drednaw is capable of punching a hole through a mountain with one strike. According to one tale, Drednaw stopped a flood by using the rubble from a mountain it chewed up.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/drednaw/gigantamax/</ref> As shown in the anime Gigantamax Drednaw can stretch its neck.

Drednaw is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the moves {{m|Jaw Lock}} and the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Stonesurge}}.

==In the anime==

[[File:Gigantamax Drednaw anime.png|thumb|250px|Gigantamax Drednaw in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Drednaw first appeared in [[SS012]]. {{TRT}} encountered it whilst in [[Wyndon]] and attempted to catch it but the {{p|Bellsprout}} that emerged from the [[Rocket Gachat]] ended up cutting into the ground where a red light emerged and engulfed Drednaw, causing it to [[Gigantamax]]. This caused Drednaw to go on a rampage.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==

===In the Pokemon Adventures Manga===
[[File:Drednaw Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Drednaw in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

Three Drednaw debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}} where they attacked the van [[Marvin]], [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]], and [[Professor Magnolia]] were in. They were later defeated by Marvin's [[Sobble]].

'''Zamazenta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザマゼンタ''' ''Zamazenta'') is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zamazenta|second form]] activated by giving Zamazenta a [[Rusted Shield]] to hold. Its original form, '''Hero of Many Battles''', will then become the {{2t|Fighting|Steel}}-type '''Crowned Shield'''.

Zamazenta is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
By absorbing the metal particles, Zamazenta can change to its other form in battle. In legends, it known as the ''Fighting Master's Shield'' due to ability to defect any attacks. Zamazenta is both feared and respected by all. By becoming a statue, it can rest for aeons; even while asleep, it can also cast illusions including a projection of itself. It is believed to be the younger sibling (or perhaps the rival) of {{p|Zacian}}. When together with Zacian, it cancels out the power of {{p|Eternatus}}, even in the powerful Eternamax form. Zamazenta's regal and majestic movements enables it to overwhelm opponents who face off against it. Zamazenta fends off the attacks of foes by using the golden shield that covers its front. The shield's strength is so formidable that even the sharp claws of {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon cannot even leave a single scratch upon it. No battlefield, no matter how terrible, can make Zamazenta flinch in its resolve. It charges at enemies head on with the impregnable shield-like armor that serves as a weapon. By bashing the enemies with its full might, it is said that the power can cause cracks in the land and that the resulting shockwaves can lay waist to hundreds of enemies. By using its [[Signature move|signature move]], it can go through towering mountains.<ref name=Details>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zamazenta/ ''Pokemon of The Galar Region - Zamazenta'']</ref>

Zamazenta is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using {{m|Behemoth Bash}}.
