==Trivia==
This card's effect matches that of the Black & White Series prints of {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Pokémon Catcher|95}}, a card later released in the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion. However, Pokémon Catcher was given errata for the XY Series of the card game, requiring a coin flip.

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latios''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Latiosite}}.

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latias}}.

==Biology==
Latios is a bird-like, dragon Pokémon with an aerodynamic body. The lower half of its body is blue with jet-plane wings and fin-like feet. It has a red triangular marking on its chest. By tucking its wings and forelimbs, it can fly faster than a jet. It has white and blue arms that can be tucked into its body. The upper-half of its body is white. It has triangular ears and a blue face with a white pentagon in the middle. Latios is a male only species; {{p|Latias}} is the female counterpart.

[[M05|In the fifth movie]], Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing" (Japanese: '''ゆめうつし''' ''Dream Analysis'') which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. It uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others, and can understand human speech. It lives by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}. Latios is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Luster Purge}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After Latios appears from its [[Poké Ball]], it will fly off the stage. It and Latias will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}}, damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.

====Trophy Information====
Latios appears with its counterpart, Latias.

''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Latios returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Steel Wing to quickly fly across the stage several times to damage targets.

====Trophy information====
Latios once again shares its trophy with its female counterpart.

'''NA''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. By folding in their arms, they can fly faster than fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing.''

'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. Be folding their arms in, they become super aerodynamic and can fly faster then fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing. ''

===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: If the ball drops out of the [[Ruby Field]] while the "Ball Saver" is active, Latios will rescue it and place it on Spoink without the ball being lost.

==Trivia==
*Latios and {{p|Latias}} were the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have [[gender]]s.
*Latios shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
*In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the item Eon Flute can be used to [[Soaring in the sky|fly around Hoenn]] on the back of a Mega Latios/{{p|Latias}}.
* Despite being Legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latios and {{p|Latias}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
** However, when either Latios or Latias are found in the wild, the pre-battle encounter animation is different than those of ordinary Pokémon, as it is a distorting screen.
*Latios (along with {{p|Latias}}) are the only Legendary Pokemon that have a Mega Stone that was not available to obtain legitimately in Pokemon X & Y through in-game game play, but can be traded over from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire holding their respective stone to Pokemon X & Y.
* The triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latios has the same color as the main body of its female counterpart {{p|Latias}}, even when {{Shiny}}.
* With the [[Soul Dew]], Latios achieves the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, even exceeding that of Mega Mewtwo Y.

===Origin===
Latios appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latias}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon#In Gnosticism|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their {{pkmn|category}} is "Eon." Latias and Latios are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|junglefowl}}.

====Name origin====
Latios may derive from ''latere'' ({{wp|Latin}} for "to lie hidden"). ''Os'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more masculine, opposite the more feminine-sounding ''as'' in {{p|Latias}}.

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latias''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Latiasite}}.

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latios}}.

==Biology==
Latias is a bird-like, dragon Pokémon. It has an aerodynamic body and glass-like down feathers. The lower half of its body is red with jet-plane wings and fin-like feet. It has a blue triangular marking on its chest. It has white and red arms that can be tucked into its body. The upper-half of its body is white. It has triangular ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle. Latias is a female only species; {{p|Latios}} is the male counterpart.

Latias ruffles its feathers and cries loudly when there is hostility toward it. Its downy feathers can enfold its body and refract light, which allows it to become invisible or alter its appearance. It can also use its down to use its [[signature move]], {{m|Mist Ball}}. It is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. It is capable using telepathy to communicate with others. In the [[M05|fifth movie]], Latias had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. It normally does not make contact with humans or other Pokémon, and disappears when an enemy is nearby. It forms herds with several members, and is usually found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water.}}

====Other====
A Latias also appeared in ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'' where, along with Latios, it used its powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "{{p|Wailord}}'s Tear" beneath the ocean.

A Latias appeared in [[SS025]] under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]]. It was used against [[Forrest]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} in a battle to test Forrest's capabilities as the potential [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], where Latias proved victorious.

A Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', along with many other [[Legendary Pokémon]] that were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}}.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Latias and Latios SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Latias and Latios Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After Latias appears from its [[Poké Ball]], it will fly off the stage. It and Latios will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}} damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.

====Trophy Information====
Latias appears with her counterpart, Latios.

''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Latias returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Steel Wing to quickly fly across the stage several times to damage targets.
====Trophy information====
Latias once again shares a trophy with its counterpart.

'''NA''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon/Psychic-type Pokémon. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. By folding in their arms, they can fly faster than fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing.''

'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male. Be folding their arms in, they become super aerodynamic and can fly faster then fighter jets. They combine speed and teamwork when they cross paths to attack fighters with Steel Wing. ''

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If red is selected, Latias roams Hoenn and Latios is found at the island. If blue is selected, Latias is found at the island and Latios roams Hoenn.

==Trivia==
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} were the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have [[gender]]s.
*Latias shares the same {{pkmn|category}} name with its male counterpart {{p|Latios}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
*In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the item Eon Flute can be used to fly around Hoenn on the back of a Mega {{p|Latios}}/Latias.
* Despite being Legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and {{p|Latios}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
** However, when either Latias or Latios are found in the wild, the pre-battle encounter animation is different than those of ordinary Pokémon, as it is a distorting screen.
*Latias (along with {{p|Latios}}) are the only Legendary Pokemon that have a Mega Stone that was not available to obtain legitimately in Pokemon X & Y through in-game game play, but can be traded over from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire holding their respective stone to Pokemon X & Y.
* The triangle-shaped ring on the chest of Latias has the same color as the main body of its male counterpart Latios, even when {{Shiny}}.
* Latias and {{p|Lugia}} are the only Legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
[[Image:Latias Blaziken.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
* A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Latias weighs exactly as much as {{ga|Ethan}} when viewed from the "Size" data in its Pokédex's entry. It shares this trait with {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Gurdurr}} and {{p|Greninja}}.
* Tied with {{p|Goodra|Goodra}}, Mega Latias has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Latias appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and {{p|Latios}} may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. They may also be based upon the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their category is "Eon." Latios and Latias are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|junglefowl}}.

====Name origin====
Latias may derive from ''latere'' ({{wp|Latin}} for "to lie hidden"). ''As'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more feminine, opposite the more masculine-sounding ''os'' in {{p|Latios}}.

==Who's That Pokémon? Trivia==
The trivia states that the Who's That Pokémon? segment for this episode retained the "Adventures in Unova" title rather than using the expaned "Adventures in Unova and Beyond" one, but the image for the section above shows the expanded title. Is the trivia incorrect, or did it apply only to initial airings with repeat airings correcting it? [[User:Hyper Turtwig|Hyper Turtwig]] ([[User talk:Hyper Turtwig|talk]]) 20:15, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

==Error==
When Porter introduces himself to Ash and friends, Ash calls him Parker. Should this be added to the errors? [[User:AkaShika|AkaShika]] ([[User talk:AkaShika|talk]]) 13:14, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

:I watched this on the Pokemon website and in that one, Ash says Porter and not Parker. Maybe the errors were fixed in later airings? I removed the previously mentioned error because I did not see it there. You can re-add it by checking one of the previous versions of the page (before my edit fixing 'incorrect error'), if you can confirm this. Maybe I made a mistake.

==Blurb==

Ash is flying on the back of the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and having a great time! Suddenly, they are confronted by Iris, who’s riding the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and challenging them to battle! Zekrom unleashes a fearsome Thunderbolt that knocks Ash right out of the sky...

...and into his bed at Professor Juniper’s lab. He’s been dreaming, and when Iris couldn’t wake him up, she asked Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on him. She tells him to go get ready, because the next part of their adventure starts today! Ash is planning to head home to the Kanto region, and Cilan and Iris both decide they want to come along! Professor Juniper suggests that they travel to Kanto on a cruise ship that stops in the Decolore Islands, an idea everyone seems to like...including three eavesdroppers from Team Rocket.

Thanks to some Team Rocket trickery, our heroes end up aboard their small ship instead of the one that’s actually going to Kanto. Jessie, disguised as a ship’s attendant, gets Ash, Iris, and Cilan to leave their Poké Balls with her, and invites Pikachu and Axew along for a snack. She locks the Pokémon inside the playroom while James (disguised as the captain) takes our heroes to their room and locks them in too.

But one Poké Ball rolled away while Jessie was distracted, so Oshawott is free to explore the ship—and it quickly discovers Team Rocket’s plot! Oshawott attacks, and its Razor Shell hits the control panel, knocking out power to the ship and unlocking all the doors. Ash, Iris, and Cilan quickly reclaim their Pokémon and head to the deck to confront Team Rocket! A battle begins, even though Cilan warns fighting on a ship probably isn’t a good idea. And he’s quickly proven right when Iris tells Excadrill to use Dig—and it digs right through the bottom of the ship, which begins to sink!

Team Rocket blasts off on a huge spout of water, and our heroes manage to escape, finding their way onto the right ship this time. It’s all aboard for Kanto by way of the Decolore Islands, as the adventure continues!

==Plot==
The episode opens with {{Ash}} riding on {{p|Reshiram}}, laughing happily. After asking if Reshiram can go faster, he is interrupted by {{an|Iris}} riding on {{p|Zekrom}}. Iris declares that she and Zekrom challenge a confused Ash, so Zekrom uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Ash, knocking him off of Reshiram and sending him plummeting.

Ash wakes up after falling out of bed, revealing that it was a dream. Iris bemoans Ash's sleepiness, and Ash realizes that Pikachu had used Thunderbolt on him, which Iris used to wake Ash up. Ash realizes that they are back in [[Nuvema Town]], staying with [[Professor Juniper]], and Iris tells him to hurry up and get dressed.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} informs {{an|Giovanni}} of their success in stopping [[Team Plasma]], and Giovanni congratulates them, and eventually ends the call. Pleased and excited, [[Jessie]] suggests that they prove themselves worthy of their praise by catching {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other [[twerp]]s' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which {{MTR}} and [[James]] agree to.

Back at Juniper's lab, Ash tells Juniper about his dream, saying that it was awesome, except the weird ending. Iris, annoyed, states that it was not her fault that he could not wake up. {{an|Cilan}} and Juniper remind Iris that Ash was exhausted, and Juniper then asks Ash what his next plan is. Ash decides to return to [[Kanto]], shocking Iris, who then appears to think about something. Ash explains that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about his journey, and Juniper asks Cilan his plan. However, Cilan is interrupted by Iris, who decides to go with Ash, with confirmation from {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, stating that she wants to learn more about Dragon types from other regions. She asks Ash if that is okay, and Ash cheerfully replies that it is. Cilan states that he was hoping to go with Ash as well to continue his journey to be top Pokémon Connoisseur. Juniper asks how they are going to get to Kanto, but Ash is not sure. Juniper suggests that they take a cruise through the [[Decolore Islands]], where several rare Pokémon live. Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide to take the cruise, which Team Rocket overhear, and begin coming up with a plan.

Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Oshawott}} tell Professor Oak the plan to return to Kanto by boat. Juniper decides to send Ash's Pokémon from [[Unova]] to Oak. {{AP|Muk}} shows his excitement about Ash returning by tackling Oak, causing Oak to hang up to calm Muk down.

Arriving at the port, Juniper buys Ash, Iris, and Cilan their tickets. Iris sees their ship, and the three are excited by its size. Meowth tells James to initiate their plan, and when Juniper emerges with the tickets, James, disguised as an elderly man, bumps into her, causing her to drop the tickets. He quickly switches the real tickets with three fake ones, and Juniper walks over to give them to the kids. Ash, Cilan, and Iris thank Juniper as she returns to work.

The three heroes head over to their ship, while Cilan reminds Ash that this will be his and Iris's first time in Kanto. Cilan then gives [[Porter]] their tickets, but Porter informs them that their tickets are not for this ship. Bummed, the three try to find their actual ship. Jessie approaches them in disguise and tells them that their tickets are for her ship. Excited, the kids follow Jessie to a smaller, old ship. Jessie informs Meowth that she completed her part of the plan as James gives the heroes a tour of the ship. Jessie explains that they have a Relax-and-refresh-o-matic for their Pokémon, and a playroom for Pikachu and Axew. Ash, Iris, and Cilan give Jessie their [[Poké Ball]]s and send Pikachu and Axew with her, while James leads them to their cabin. Jessie drops Oshawott, who emerges from his Poké Ball and runs off to find Ash.

Ash and Iris complain about how small, old, and uncomfortable their cabin is, but James tells them they are stuck with it. Cilan tells them to relax and that it is really just old-world charm. James reminds them to remain in their cabin until the ship leaves port and leaves, the door locking behind him.

Pikachu, Axew, and Jessie arrive at the playroom, where Jessie puts the Poké Balls in the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic and tells the Pokémon to enjoy their stay. She then leaves, and the door locks behind her.

As Oshawott continues to explore the ship, he finds his way to the bridge, where he overhears Jessie, James, and Meowth discuss their plan. Enraged, he continues to listen.

Iris tells Ash that she is going to check on Axew and the others, but when she tries to leave, she notices that the door is locked tight. Ash and Cilan attempt to help her, but they are also unable to open the door.

Meanwhile, Axew has become bored with the playroom and attempts to return to his trainer, but finds that the playroom's door is locked. Pikachu tries to help him, but to no avail.

Oshawott, finally annoyed when he finds out that Jessie and James plan to leave Ash, Cilan, and Iris floating in the ocean alone, attacks the three Team Rocket members, who try to catch him. He accidentally {{m|Razor Shell}}s the button to unlock the doors, sending Iris flying as she was currently tugging on hers. The three decide to find their Pokémon.

Pikachu and Axew decide to free the Pokémon from the Relax-and-refresh-o-matic before escaping, but are unable to get to the door. Pikachu decides to get Ash to help and runs off, Axew staying behind.

Cilan realizes that they are the only passengers on the ship, and Ash finds Oshawott's Poké Ball. Pikachu arrives to tell them about the others, and after he and Ash hug, he leads them back to the playroom. Cilan frees the Poké Balls, and the gang decide to escape the ship after they find Oshawott.

Meanwhile, Oshawott is about to get caught by Team Rocket, but Ash finds him and distracts the three villains long enough for Oshawott to run over to Ash to be protected. Team Rocket {{motto|introduce themselves}}, shocking and annoying Ash, Iris, and Cilan, who remind them that they helped them earlier. Jessie, James, and Meowth reveal their scheme, but Oshawott had stopped them. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Cilan warns them not to battle on board, but the others ignore them as Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, which Woobat dodges. Amoonguss tries to {{m|Body Slam}} Excadrill, who escapes via {{m|Dig}}. However, this causes the ship to begin flooding. While the heroes escape, Team Rocket have Amoonguss and Woobat plug the hole, which works temporarily—however, they end up being blasted off as the pressure becomes too much for their small Pokémon to hold.

Ash catches an envelope containing their ''real'' tickets, and the group runs off to get on the correct ship, but it is about to leave. Fortunately, Porter delays the ship to allow them to board. The group relaxes, relieved that they are finally on an actual cruise. Porter greets them and introduces himself, thanking them for choosing the ''Decolore Queen''. The narrator finishes off the episode as they leave Unova behind and head to Kanto via the Decolore Islands.

==Blurb==

Basking in the glow of his eighth Unova Gym badge win and guaranteed entry into the Unova League, Ash soon discovers that it won’t be taking place for three months! But our hero is determined to make the best of his time until then with lots of serious training—starting right after they try Virbank City’s famous Bearticone, at Cilan’s recommendation.

In line for the frozen treat, Ash spots a familiar face: it’s Cynthia, the Champion of the Sinnoh region! She’s been invited to participate in an exhibition match at the upcoming Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup in eastern Unova, and Ash, Iris, and Cilan decide they want to compete as well.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been tracking Meloetta, the Mythical Pokémon that has been secretly following Ash ever since he rescued it at Pokéstar Studios. The villains try to capture Meloetta, injuring it in the process, but it manages to escape without a trace until our heroes and Cynthia find it and nurse it back to health. Meloetta shows its gratitude with a beautiful song before vanishing again.

Once Meloetta is safe, Iris finally overcomes her shyness to challenge Cynthia to a battle! Iris has heard about the Champion’s powerful Garchomp, and because she and Axew rarely meet another Dragon-type Trainer, it’s an exciting opportunity. Cynthia agrees, and though Axew is outmatched very quickly, it does learn how to use Giga Impact in the heat of battle!

It’s time to board the seaplane with Cynthia, and our heroes are unaware that they’re under observation by Team Rocket—and Meowth has spotted Meloetta following Ash onto the plane. Team Rocket quickly makes plans to intercept Ash and the others in Undella Town, and Cynthia tells Ash an old friend is waiting for him there as well. And sure enough, as the plane descends, Dawn and Piplup are there to meet it!

==Plot==
After having won his eighth and final [[Unova]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are at the [[Virbank City]] [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] informs him that the [[Unova League]] Conference is still three months away. {{an|Cilan}} suggests they tour the city and get a famous Virbank delicacy, the Bearticone ice cream cone. Cilan takes them to a set of steps where an iconic scene from a famous film took place involving a {{p|Lilligant}} eating a Bearticone on the steps. However, a sign forbids eating Bearticones on the steps, so the group decides to go somewhere else. They turn to a Bearticone ice cream stand, where they meet [[Cynthia]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Apparently, Cynthia is in Unova to enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] taking place in [[Lacunosa Town]]. Once they hear that not only will they get to watch Cynthia battle firsthand, but the winner of the tournament will get to battle [[Alder]], the Unova Champion, Ash and his friends decide to participate. Together with Cynthia, they set off towards [[Undella Town]] in Cynthia's truck.

{{TRT}} have followed {{p|Meloetta}} to a grassy field outside Virbank City. They can track their target thanks to the anti-cloaking goggles given to them by [[Dr. Zager]]. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] release {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} to use {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} on the bush Meloetta is hiding in, exposing the legendary Pokémon. {{MTR}} fires an electrified net at the escaping Meloetta, but it falls short and just grazes its target. Meloetta falls to the ground after being electrified and rolls off of a short cliff into more bushes. Having lost sight of Meloetta yet again, Team Rocket begin looking for some way to get down to it.

Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Cilan are riding in Cynthia's truck when the weak and vulnerable Meloetta suddenly appears right before them on the road. Cynthia stops in time, but Meloetta collapses from heavy injuries. Ash then recognizes it as the Pokémon he saved in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' and Cynthia identifies it. Ash lays Meloetta on a sheet and Cynthia sprays its chest wound with a [[Super Potion]]. She then has {{an|Iris}} and Cilan get an [[Oran Berry]] while she and Ash go get some ice to lower Meloetta's fever, leaving {{AP|Pikachu}} to watch Meloetta. They arrive at a river and Cynthia has her [[Cynthia#Glaceon|Glaceon]] use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the river to freeze part of it. She returns Glaceon and they collect the ice.

When they return, Ash puts the ice under Meloetta's head. Cynthia then gets a phone call to handle an apparently serious matter, so Ash and Pikachu are left alone. As Ash wipes Meloetta's head with a damp cloth, it awakens briefly and is happy to see a familiar face be its caretaker. [[Ash's Oshawott]] suddenly comes out of his [[Poké Ball]] and instantly develops a crush on Meloetta. After some time, the ice melts, so Ash has Oshawott look after Meloetta while he and Pikachu go get more ice from the river.

Meanwhile, Iris and Cilan have found an Oran Berry tree on the top of a cliff, but Cilan tells her that it's too dangerous to climb. Instead, Iris has Emolga ride an updraft to get to the tree and grab an Oran Berry branch. As they return, they see Ash and Pikachu collecting and crushing ice, so Iris sends Emolga ahead to give the Oran Berry to Meloetta.

Emolga finds Oshawott flirting with Meloetta, but a sudden gust of wind sends her crashing uncontrollably into Oshawott's head, knocking them both out. The Oran Berry rolls over to Meloetta, who wakes up, takes it, and flies away. When the gang returns, Oshawott and Emolga have awoken and begun fighting. A soothing voice nearby sings a song, calming the two down and giving everyone else a pleasant feeling. Cynthia then arrives and explains the pacifying power of Meloetta's song. After its performance, Meloetta vanishes. Cynthia tells Ash that the pressing matter which she had to attend to was that she had forgotten her change at the ice cream stand... which dismays Ash. Shortly thereafter, Iris musters up the courage to challenge Cynthia to a battle, which she accepts. Meanwhile, Team Rocket spot Meloetta and continue their pursuit.

For their battle, Cynthia will use {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} and Iris will use {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Iris starts the battle with {{m|Scratch}} and then {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but neither deal any significant damage. Cynthia then has Garchomp use {{m|Dragon Rush}} and then {{m|Draco Meteor}}, each hitting Axew with terrifying force. However, Axew refuses to give up and immediately learns {{m|Giga Impact}} while in a rage. Axew briefly levitates off the ground before charging rapidly at Garchomp and doing some damage. Garchomp then uses {{m|Brick Break}} while Axew is recharging, but Cynthia orders it to stop since it would obviously finish Axew off. She and Iris agree to end the battle here.

Team Rocket are searching for Meloetta near the dock just as Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Cynthia arrive and board the seaplane for Undella Town. Meowth observes as Meloetta follows them into the plane while invisible, so Jessie says that they must contact Dr. Zager and get to Undella Town before they do. Cynthia then tells Ash that he has an {{an|Dawn|old friend}} waiting for him in Undella Town. From Cynthia's villa in Undella Town, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} see their seaplane.

* This was the last new episode to air before the Japanese release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]].
* The scene that Cilan describes from ''Princess Pokémon's Holiday'', with the princess (Lilligant) eating a Bearticone on the steps, is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Holiday#/media/File:Audrey_Heburn_and_Gregory_Peck_in_Roman_Holiday_trailer_2.jpg reference] to the movie ''{{wp|Roman Holiday}}''. The character standing next to the princess also bears a resemblance to {{wp|Gregory Peck}}'s character from the movie

==Blurb==

Ash decides to get some practice training in while waiting for Clay, the Driftveil City Gym Leader, to return. Meanwhile, our heroes are surprised to bump into Cilan’s brother, Chili, who has come to challenge Cilan to a battle. Cilan agrees, but when Chili and his Pansear lose to Cilan and Pansage, Chili blames the loss on Pansear, who angrily runs away.

Speaking to their other brother Cress (who is still back at the Striaton Gym), Cilan learns that Chili had a long losing streak recently. He asked Cress for advice, but took offense when Cress responded bluntly and honestly, and left the Gym in a huff.

Cilan offers to help by evaluating Chili and Pansear’s compatibility as a team. He proclaims their matchup to be perfect—they both like to eat when they’re frustrated or angry, and they both have fiery temperaments—and then suggests that Chili teach Pansear a non-Fire-type move for the sake of balance. They begin by learning SolarBeam, and all our heroes join in for some special training.

It takes some real effort and patience, but Pansear is successful! Chili can’t wait to battle again, so Ash offers to battle him with Oshawott. Chili and Pansear put Cilan’s advice to good use, and they win! With his confidence bolstered, Chili bids our heroes goodbye and heads back to the Striaton Gym. Right on time, Nurse Joy informs Ash that Clay has returned to the Gym and is ready to accept Ash’s challenge.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is quietly moving ahead with the plan to summon Thundurus, the Guardian of Lightning...

==Plot==
The episode begins with Ash training his {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Snivy}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} for their upcoming Gym battle against [[Driftveil City]] Gym Leader, [[Clay]]. A voice suddenly calls out to Cilan, and they turn to find [[Chili]] standing in the doorway. Cilan inquires his brother's reason for being there, and Chili responds that he decided to take after Cilan and travel, leaving [[Cress]] solely in charge of the Gym. He then asks Cilan to battle against him to see how much he's improved since they last met. Cilan accepts the challenge, and Ash volunteers to be referee. Chili wastes no time sending out {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} and Cilan greets the High Temp Pokémon and sends out {{TP|Cilan|his Pansage|Pansage}}. The two Pokémon shake hands and exchange friendly greetings, and Ash wishes them both good luck, which Iris remarks that he should focus as a referee. Chili comments that Cilan is at a disadvantage, but Cilan states that it was how [[Striaton Gym|their Gym's]] functioned, and Chili reminds him that he's a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and that he should enforce type efficiency. Cilan tells him to save his comments for the end of the battle, and Chili orders Pansear to launch a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Pansage dodges, and Pansear uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, which Pansage again dodges. Chili accuses Cilan of running away, and orders another Flamethrower that is dodged. Pansear then uses {{m|Flame Charge}} and charges toward Pansage, when Cilan orders Pansage to use {{m|Rock Tomb}}. This knocks Pansear back, and Chili orders it to use {{m|Fire Blast}}. Pansage dodges with {{m|Dig}}, knocks Pansear off its feet, then finishes it with {{m|SolarBeam}}. Ash declares Cilan the winner, and Pansage quickly runs over and helps Pansear to its feet. Chili recalls Pansear, who evades the Poké Ball's light and shouts angrily at Chili. Chili blames Fire Blast's miss for their loss, which further enrages Pansear. Ash and Iris comment that the two of them fighting is shameful, and Cilan states that Chili is the one at fault for their loss. Chili begins to pin the blame on Pansear once again, but he is scorched by Pansear's Flamethrower. He shouts angrily at the Pokémon, who then runs away. Fed up, Chili leaves the battlefield. Iris states that Cilan should go after Chili, but he feels the best course of action would be to get information from Cress first.

The trio travel to the Pokémon Center and Cilan calls Cress on the video phone, where he learns that Chili ran away from the Gym. Cilan informs Cress that Chili claimed to have left to study, and Cress reveals that Chili had been grieving over his losing streak. Cress remarked that it's a Gym Leader's duty to lose to challengers in the end, but Chili wasn't satisfied by how quickly he is defeated. Cress contemplates the reason for Chili's loss, and decides that Chili is too aggressive in his style of battling. This angers Chili, who denounces their brotherly bond, and runs away. Cress grieves over angering Chili, but Cilan encourages him that he'll figure out how to help Chili, which brightens Cress's spirits. Iris comments on Chili's quick temper, but Cilan remarks that it's their differences as brothers that compliment each other, and that's how they're able to help each other with their troubles. With that knowledge, Cilan knows exactly where Chili has run away to after their battle.

They find Chili scarfing down a pile of doughnuts in a local doughnut shop, and Cilan says that he was informed by Cress that Chili ran away. Chili accuses Cress of being arrogant, but Cilan claims that Cress is very worried about him. Chili ignores Cilan's comment and states that Cress is probably relieved that he's gone. Cilan reminds him of their bond as triplets, and Chili remorsefully admits that he got frustrated since he didn't have any answers for his problems and decides to fill Cilan in completely. Chili admits that he's hasty and aggressive during battles, but wasn't willing to accept it after hearing it from Cress. After some time to think, he decided that he should change his style of battle. He learned from a [[Nurse Joy]] that Cilan was nearby and decided to seek out his advice. Cilan happily accepts to perform an evaluation of Chili and Pansear as a Pokémon Connoisseur. Iris comments that they don't know where Pansear went after it ran away, and Ash volunteers to split up to look for it. However, Chili states that he knows exactly where Pansear is.

They find Pansear sitting in a tree eating apples, and Ash comments on the similarities between Chili and Pansear. Chili calls out to Pansear, apologizing for his behavior earlier, but Pansear throws one of the apples at him. Cilan then decides Pansage should talk to it, and Pansage climbs up the tree and talks it over with Pansear. Iris is astonished by how alike Pansage and Pansear are to their Trainers, which embarrassed Chili. Pansear is still upset at Chili, so he climbed the tree and apologized once again, announcing that together with Pansear, he wants to start the first {{type|Fire}} Gym in Unova, pleading that Pansear forgive him so they can meet that goal. Pansear accepts Chili's apology, and the two join Cilan back on the ground for an evaluation.

Meanwhile on [[Milos Island]], {{TRT}} is getting their next scheme underway, vandalizing the shrine dedicated to {{p|Thundurus}}.

Back at Driftveil City, Cilan begins his evaluation by going over Pansear's traits; Since Pansear's Ability is {{a|Gluttony}}, and Chili himself is a glutton, he and Pansear compliment each other. Then the fact that Pansear's attacks get more powerful when enraged, it again fits well with Chili, and Cilan diagnoses that Chili and Pansear are the perfect combination. Next he evaluates Pansear's moves; Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Flame Charge, and Fire Blast. He states that the move set is too simple and is imbalanced. He then suggests Pansear learn a new move of a different [[type]] to replace Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Chili asks what his suggestion would be, and Cilan deducts that because of Pansear's weakness to {{type|Water}} moves, it should learn SolarBeam, a {{type|Grass}} move. Iris asked why he didn't suggest a defensive move, and Cilan responds that a defensive move would taint Chili and Pansear's battle style, and Chili remarks that the best defense is a good offense. Chili is completely satisfied with Cilan's deduction, and excited to get started with training. Cilan explains that it's thanks to his travels with Ash and Iris that he was able to come up with such an accurate deduction. With the evaluation over, Cilan announces it is time to begin training.

[[File:Pansear Rocky reference.png|thumb|right|200px|Pansear standing at the top of a staircase during training; A nod to the movie, ''{{wp|Rocky}}'']]

Cilan explains that a Pokémon must absorb the sun's energy, so the group and their Pokémon stand tall soaking up the sun's rays. He then explains that a Pokémon will focus that energy to a single point and then fire it in a powerful beam, as Pansage demonstrated. Pansear then attempted to mimic Pansage's actions, but fails. Cilan tells it not to be discouraged, as it wasn't sure to get it right the first time. Pansear then engages in rigorous training with the other Pokémon, after which it is able to successfully able to perform SolarBeam. Cilan then explains the pros of Pansear's other moves, and this pumps Chili up and makes him eager to try out Pansear's new attack in a battle. Ash offers to battle to get ready for his upcoming Gym match, and Chili accepts.

They make their way to the Battle Club and {{AP|Oshawott}} comes out of his Poké Ball before Ash could choose a Pokémon. Chili asks that Ash use Oshawott since he's trying to overcome Water's advantage of him, so Ash accepts. Pansear starts off with Fire Blast, which Oshawott evaporates with {{m|Water Gun}}. Pansear then immediately comes in with a Fire Punch, which is countered by {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pansear charges in with Flame Charge, and Oshawott attacks with {{m|Tackle}}, and then gets hit by Fire Punch. As he's flying through the air, Oshawott comes back with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which Pansear manages to dodge, then dissolve with Fire Punch. Oshawott then attacks with a barrage of Razor Shells, which Pansear blocks again and again. Pansear endures the attacks until it becomes completely enraged and turns that rage into SolarBeam, which knocks out Oshawott. Overjoyed, Chili runs towards Pansear, who jumps into its Trainer's arms and the two embrace each other in a hug. That evening, Chili thanks Cilan for all his help and advice and announces that he'll return to the Striaton Gym to help Cress. The two brothers then bid each other farewell, and Pansage waves goodbye to Pansear who rides joyously on its Trainer's shoulder. Nurse Joy then comes out of the Pokémon Center and informs Ash that Clay has returned, so he looks forward to challenging him. The episode ends with a mysterious lightning storm brewing over Milos Island.

Talk:Primal Reversion

2014-09-12T16:40:42Z

Takkupanda: /* Abilities */

Shouldn't we add the myth of Groudon and Kyogre that's on the official website?

''Long, long ago, there appeared in Hoenn two Pokémon of fearsome power. These two became known, in later times, as Groudon and Kyogre. When Groudon howled, the earth swelled and the land grew wide. The sun blazed overhead, and all the world around the creature was enveloped in incandescent heat. When Kyogre roared, water poured forth and the seas spread outward. Dark clouds enshrouded the world, and the deluge fell upon all...It was a primal age, early in the world’s history. The natural world was overflowing with energy. That energy granted Groudon and Kyogre an overwhelming power. Seeking ever more of that energy for themselves, the two clashed again and again, and their battles cast the people and Pokémon of Hoenn into great danger. Brimming with the overwhelming power granted to them by nature’s energy, their transformation was named "Primal Reversion" by later people. And the people called their tormentors Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre...

== Mega Evolution ==

In addition to that nice little myth up there, isn't it worth mentioning that Primal Reversion may have a connection to Mega Evolution (as stated by the press release)? I'd add it myself, but you lot have locked the page.--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] ([[User talk:Darknesslover5000|talk]]) 00:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Linda (BW057)

2014-09-11T19:12:34Z

Takkupanda: /* Trivia */ English voice actresses for Linda and Leona are not the same.

[[File:Linda anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Linda]]
'''Linda''' (Japanese: '''リンダ''' ''Linda'') is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]'' and a childhood friend of [[Charles]]. She first appeared stopping a lone thief with her {{p|Timburr}} after Mighty Accelguard failed to do so because of his clumsiness. She's well aware that Charles is in fact the Mighty Accelguard and enjoys teasing him about how clumsy he is.

Linda had picked up a few leads about the {{p|Vanillite}} trucks seen in the area and went to the [[Cold Storage]] alone to investigate. There she was confronted by [[Doctor Ferrara]] and his henchmen then captured. She is saved by Charles who had the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. When Ferrara made his escape, Linda followed behind Mighty Accelguard in a truck with the kids while she contacted [[Officer Jenny]]. She also helped stop Ferrara's henchmen and their Vanillite.

==Opelucid City==
===Opelucid Gym===

{{sign|bwbuilding|Opelucid City Pokémon Gym Leader: Drayden|The Spartan Mayor}}

The [[Opelucid Gym]] specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are only vulnerable to {{t|Ice}}- and Dragon-type attacks. The Gym consists of two large dragon statues, one near the entrance and the other at the rear wall. Challengers must defeat at least one Trainer from each level to advance. First off, defeat Veteran Lucius to activate the switch on the first dragon's neck; this elevates you to the level of the next two Trainers. On the left, Veteran Rhona prefers fighting defensively, while Veteran Jerry on the right favors offense. Defeat at least one to reach the next level. On the left, Veteran Denae fights in a [[Rotation Battle]], while Veteran Ron on the right fights in a [[Triple Battle]]. Once they fall, your statue rises to [[Drayden]]'s level and the two statues butt heads, allowing you to reach the Gym Leader.

Consider having a Move Tutor teach some new moves; {{m|Dual Chop}} and {{m|Ice Punch}} are available in {{ci|Driftveil}}, while {{m|Icy Wind}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} can be taught in {{to|Lentimas}}. Avoid using {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Electric}} attacks, as dragons are resistant to such moves. {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Revenge}} makes its opponent pay for not knocking it out in one hit, while {{m|Crunch}} deals extra damage from its {{a|Sheer Force}} Ability. {{p|Flygon}}'s {{m|Rock Slide}} nails any Ice-type opponent aiming for its double-weakness, and {{m|Earth Power}} can also inflict serious damage. Lastly, his {{p|Haxorus}} starts with high {{stat|Attack}} and can boost it (and {{stat|Speed}}) even further with {{m|Dragon Dance}}, so knock it out as soon as possible! All three dragons share the {{m|Dragon Tail}} attack, which forces the damaged opponent to switch out.

Defeated, [[Drayden]] awards you the {{badge|Legend}}, which ensures that all Pokémon of level 80 or less will obey you. He also gives you {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}} as a prize.

===Drayden's Story===
[[Drayden]] shows you to his home, where he tells the story of the two dragons, the legend of {{p|Kyurem}}, and the history of his family heirloom.

''Let me tell you the story. It's a long story, but listen closely. It was two years ago when the two dragon Pokémon were awakened. The black dragon Pokémon, {{p|Zekrom}}, pursued what is ideal, with the desire to usher in a new world of hope. And the white dragon Pokémon, {{p|Reshiram}}, sought what is true, with the desire to usher in a new world of goodness. Zekrom and Reshiram were once a single Pokémon. You may wonder why it split in two. The single dragon Pokémon had helped the twin heroes bring a new region into being. But the twin heroes--the older brother who sought the truth and the younger brother who sought ideals--sundered the region in two as they fought to see which of them was right. In that desperate hour, the single dragon Pokémon split its body into a black Pokémon and a white Pokémon, even though ideals and truth don't need to be in opposition! As the story goes, a third dragon Pokémon, {{p|Kyurem}}, also came into existence in that era. And there may be proof of this to be found in a treasure passed down in my family for generations: the [[DNA Splicers]]. [[Professor Juniper]]'s research determined that the materials in the splicers date back to the same era as the materials used in building the [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. Oh, the DNA Splicers are stored very safely. I guard them because I don't know what kind of power might lie within them. But here's what's been bothering me... Could there be one more dragon Pokémon? Even if Kyurem really exists, we don't know what kind of Pokémon it is. For starters, the two Pokémon the ancient Pokémon split into are both overwhelmingly powerful. So if Kyurem exists, could it be just a husk--a shell that was left over?''

===Team Plasma Attacks!===
The building is rocked by a sudden tremor. Outside, the [[Plasma Frigate]] approaches from the sky. It readies its cannon and fires a few shots of ice at the city. Every shot freezes a part of the city, leaving the area difficult to navigate. [[Drayden]] doesn't appreciate this and sends his {{p|Haxorus}} to smash the nearest ice crystal, but it doesn't work. [[Zinzolin]] appears and demands that Drayden hand over the [[DNA Splicers]]. He refuses, but the Sage won't give up so easily. He sends his Grunts to search for the splicers, and the Gym Leader asks that you track them down.

Slide south over the ice to catch up with Drayden, and fight the first Grunt just east of the Pokémon Center. Next, slide north to find the second Grunt outside the former Battle House. After that, track down the third Grunt to the south of the Gym. When all three are defeated, return to the Gym to take on [[Zinzolin]]. Use {{t|Fire}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves to bring the battle to a quick end.

[[Zinzolin]] runs off and [[Drayden]] heals your Pokémon. He steps inside the Gym briefly to retrieve the [[DNA Splicers]], which he gives to you. Just then, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears and steals the splicers. The two others appears as well, and the three run off. Head south toward the {{rt|11|Unova}} gate to find one of them waiting for you. Attack with {{type|Fighting}} moves for a decisive victory.

Unfortunately, this [[Shadow Triad|Shadow]] did not have the splicers. He vanishes, and [[Drayden]] runs over to see if you are alright. Just then, [[Hugh]] and [[Cheren]] call on the [[Xtransceiver]]. They saw the ship attack the city, and Cheren is headed there now. He says that [[Humilau City]] has the lowest temperature readings in the region right now, so [[Team Plasma]] must be nearby. Return to [[Undella Town]] and enter the [[Marine Tube]].

==Marine Tube==
[[File:Marine Tube B2W2.png|thumb|Marine Tube]]

The [[Marine Tube]] is an undersea tunnel built with cutting-edge technology. Known as ''The Walk-Through Aquarium'', the path features a transparent dome so that visitors can see the various ocean-dwelling Pokémon. {{p|Wailord}} appears every day from 3pm to 4pm; seeing it swim over and under the tunnel earns you the Wailord Watcher [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]].

[[File:Humilau City {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: n}} mod 4}}|0=Winter|1=Spring|2=Summer|3=Autumn}} B2W2.png|thumb|Humilau City]]

[[Humilau City]] is a resort town with a tropical atmosphere. Surrounded by the ocean, the homes here are built on wooden bridges. In addition to the [[Marine Tube]], the city connects to {{rt|21|Unova}} in the south and {{rt|22|Unova}} in the west.

===Meet up with Hugh===
[[Hugh]] is waiting near the [[Marine Tube]] exit. When you approach him, he suggests taking on the final Gym Leader. But first, you will need to track him down. [[Marlon]] is a man of the sea, and as you walk north, he leaps out of the water and onto the pier. After meeting him here, he will return to the Gym.

===Move Tutor===
The local [[Move Tutor]] lives in the southeast house, directly north of the [[Marine Tube]]. This individual is obsessed with {{DL|Shard|Yellow Shard}}s, and will teach a variety of moves for the right number. {{m|Giga Drain}} will be useful at the final Gym, and {{m|Seed Bomb}} and {{m|ThunderPunch}} can be learned in [[Driftveil City]].

===Time for a Trade===
In the house just north of the Gym, a Roughneck offers to trade Pokémon. He offers a {{p|Tangrowth}} in exchange for a {{p|Mantine}}. Mantine can be found in [[Undella Bay]], except during the winter.

===A New Funfest Mission===
Outside the Roughneck's house is an old man. Talking to him will add a new {{DL|Entralink|Funfest Missions|Funfest Mission}}, ''Memory Training''.

===Mienfoo's Daily Walk===
In the northwest house lives a Socialite and her {{p|Mienfoo}}. Once a day, she will ask that you take Mienfoo on a walk. Lead it around the house for a while, and the old woman rewards you with a {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}}.

===Home is Where the Heart Scales Are===
A Nurse with a {{p|Stunfisk}} lives in the northeast house. She likes flat Pokémon, and will give out five {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}s if you speak to her with a {{p|Luvdisc}} in your party. Luvdisc can only be caught by fishing, but the Super Rod is not obtained until later.

===Humilau Gym===
[[File:Humilau Gym B2W2.png|thumb|Humilau Gym]]
{{sign|bwbuilding|Humilau City Pokémon Gym Leader: Marlon|More Splash Than The Sea}}

The marshy [[Humilau Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work best. To reach the Gym Leader, challengers must move from dock to dock by floating on large lily pads. When stepped on, they move in the same direction until they hit an obstacle. When they hit each other, the first stops and the second moves on. Jump on the first lily pad to reach the southwest dock, and ride the second one eastward. Climb onto the dock and go east to fight Ace Trainer Melina. Float south to the next dock and loop around to reach the bridge. To reach Ace Trainer Santino, ride the nearby pad south then east; this moves another pad into place, letting you continue along the east wall. Take on Ace Trainer Jeanne and cross the water to reach the northwest dock. Float north to reach Ace Trainer Sable, then south to reach Ace Trainer Enzio. Repeat the same clockwise loop to reach [[Marlon]].

[[Marlon]]'s {{p|Carracosta}} tends to start things off with {{m|Shell Smash}}, which cuts its defenses but raises its {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. In addition, its {{a|Sturdy}} Ability prevents it from being taken out in one shot. {{p|Wailord}} can hit opposing {{type|Grass}} Pokémon with {{m|Bounce}}, but otherwise its low defenses make it a big target. His {{p|Jellicent}} can be difficult to take down, especially with {{m|Recover}}. Keep your Pokémon's health above 50% to avoid its powered-up {{m|Brine}} attack. All three of Marlon's Pokémon know the move {{m|Scald}}, so watch out for {{status|burn}}s!

Upon his defeat, [[Marlon]] awards you the {{badge|Wave}}, which ensures that all Pokémon will obey without question. He also hands over {{TM|55|Scald}} as a prize before swimming off.

Outside, [[Hugh]] congratulates you on winning your eighth Badge, and reminds you that [[Team Plasma]] is still up to no good. [[Marlon]] stops by, asking if Team Plasma is actually bad or not. He follows a policy of "the ocean accepts all rivers", and as a result does not seem bothered by the group's wrongdoings. He refuses to help track them down, and just walks away. Hugh asks that you investigate {{rt|22|Unova}} to the west. Stock up on {{ball|Ultra}}s before you go, as {{p|Terrakion|another legendary}} is found nearby!

==Route 22==
[[File:Unova Route 22 {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: n}} mod 4}}|0=Winter|1=Spring|2=Summer|3=Autumn}} B2W2.png|thumb|Route 22]]

The uneven terrain of {{rt|22|Unova}} makes the scenery almost maze-like. Raised walkways connect some elevated areas, while most of the tall grass lies below. The route stretches between [[Humilau City]] to the east and the [[Giant Chasm]] to the west.

===Terrakion is waiting===
The third member of the [[Swords of Justice]] is found in the center of {{rt|22|Unova}}. It seems that it, like {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}}, was also waiting for you. Upon approaching it, you are interrupted by [[Colress]]. He says that you will need the strength to protect your Pokémon in order to fight [[Team Plasma]]. He gives you the {{key|V|Colress MCHN}}, and before he leaves mentions that something he saw in [[Seaside Cave]] reminded him of meeting you on {{rt|4|Unova}}.

Start off with {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Ground}} attacks to wear {{p|Terrakion}} down fast, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, or {{type|Bug}} moves to weaken it further. Avoid using {{type|Dark}} attacks, as its {{a|Justified}} Ability raises its {{stat|Attack}} when it is damaged by those moves. If you happen to defeat it, Terrakion will reappear after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Return to Humilau===
The [[Giant Chasm]] is accessible at this point, but cannot be fully explored. Instead, follow the raised walkways southeastward to reach a large boulder, and use {{m|Strength}} to create a shortcut for later. Take [[Colress]]' advice and head for [[Seaside Cave]] on {{rt|21|Unova}}, south of [[Humilau City]].

Effort values

2014-08-18T10:59:47Z

Takkupanda: /* Intro */ Bianca does not talk about effort values pre-Hall of Fame.

'''Effort values''' (abbreviated '''EVs''' and previously called '''Stat Exp'''), officially called '''base stats''' (Japanese: '''きそポイント''' ''base point''), are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's [[stats]] and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.

Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 {{p|Machop}} will improve a Pokémon's Attack stat more than fighting 100 {{p|Abra}} of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more.

Effort points are awarded equally to all Pokémon who participated in defeating a Pokémon. Though they are shared, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points.

In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], effort points given are equal to the Pokémon's [[base stats]]. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat in [[Generation III]] and later, see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]].

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights. Should a Pokémon attain the maximum amount of 510 effort points, it will be eligible to receive an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Effort Ribbon}} to signify this achievement ([[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|VI}}).
*In [[Pokémon Black and White]], there is an NPC in a house in [[Opelucid City]] who will tell the [[Player character|player]] if the Pokémon at the front of his or her party has attained 510 total effort values.
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Bianca]], when called on the [[Xtransceiver]] after the player has defeated the [[Champion]], will tell the player whether a certain Pokémon in the party has attained 510 total effort values. She will also notify the player if a Pokémon has reached 252 effort values in any stat.
*In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Super Training]] can be used to numerically determine the effort points of a Pokémon.

Effort values only appear in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, and are not present in the spin-off games, such as the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.

==Stat Experience==
The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each of the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 656 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to acquire EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.

[[Vitamin]]s add 2560 to one stat's EV, but cannot raise a stat above 25600. Unlike the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} in later games, the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share|Exp. All}} did not share EVs.

At level 100, the formula for determining the stat difference between a Pokémon trained in that stat and an untrained Pokémon is [[File:EV Formula GenI.png|114px]].

===Generation I===
The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''Stat Experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

===Generation II===
EVs behave the same in [[Generation II]] as they did in [[Generation I]]. Both Special Attack and Special Defense share the EV for Special to maintain compatibility. The amount of Special EVs received is equal to the defeated Pokémon's Special Attack base stat. The [[box trick]] can still be used.

[[Generation II]] introduced the [[Pokérus]], a rare [[status condition]] which doubles the effort points gained in battle.

==Modern system==
Since [[Generation III]], effort points have been completely separate values from base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat. All Pokemon deafeated will give effort points in a Double, Triple, or Horde battle.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, since stats are calculated by dividing effort by 4 and disregarding the remainder, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat. In Generation VI, the limit was changed from 255 to 252, making EV training easier for players.

[[Vitamin]]s add 10 effort points, but cannot raise a stat above 100, or raise the total above 510. These Vitamins can be found for [[File:PokémonDollar.png]]9,800 in [[Department Store]]s or in [[Laverre City]] in Generation VI. The list of Vitamins include:

| style="{{roundybr|5px}} background:#FFF" | {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}
|} 

If a Pokémon holds an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, it will receive effort points even if the battling Pokémon has maxed out its effort points. If the Pokémon with the Exp. Share has Pokérus, the amount of effort points received is doubled.

The {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points. However, the effects of the item do not transfer to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

===Generation III===
In Generations III and {{gen|IV}}, for every Pokémon that has gained Effort Points in battle, stats will be recalculated upon leveling up, except for {{p|Deoxys}}, whose stats are recalculated after every battle instead. Stats are also recalculated immediately if a [[Vitamin]] or stat-reducing Berry (see below) is used on the Pokémon.

Starting in {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points, while increasing the [[friendship]] of the Pokémon they were used on. The game will tell the player if the Pokémon's friendship cannot increase or if the stat does not decrease. These Berries are:

|} 

===Generation IV===
Most of the [[Generation IV]] EV system remains unchanged from [[Generation III]]. However, EV-reducing Berries will reduce Effort Points to 100 if the current Effort Points for the stat were above 100.

A new series of items exist which give an additional four effort points per Pokémon defeated. Each applies the bonus to a different stat, in addition to the normal effort points gained. The bonus effort points are also doubled by the [[Pokérus]]. The effects of these items do not transfer over to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

|} 

If a Pokémon has [[form differences|alternate forms]] that change its [[stats]] (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}), any effort points acquired will be applied to its stats when the form is changed, allowing the player to boost their Pokémon's stats without having to level it up.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], most of the EV system remains unchanged from Generation {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}.

EV-reducing Berries no longer reduce Effort Points to 100 if the points were above 100; instead, only 10 EVs are deducted.

Pokémon can now gain effort values from battling even at Level 100, and stats are recalculated at the end of every battle instead of only after leveling up, much like Deoxys in the Generation III games. When a Pokémon is defeated, EVs do not get added until after all [[Experience|experience points]] have been added (if the Pokémon levels up more than once, the second level it gains will have new EVs calculated into it). If a Pokémon levels up in the middle of a battle, its stats will update assuming there are EVs to add from a previously defeated opponent, but EVs from the opponent that caused it to level up will not be added until after the experience points have been completely added. This entire mechanic was overhauled in {{g|Black and White Versions 2}}; EVs are now added before Experience, so if the victorious Pokémon gains enough Experience to level up, its new stats when displayed in battle include the new EVs.

A new kind of item called [[Wing]]s are introduced which are similar to [[Vitamin]]s but only give 1 effort point when consumed. Unlike Vitamins however, Wings are not subject to the 100 EV limit and can be consumed until the maximum value of 255 for one stat (or a combined 510 for all stats) is reached. There are 7 types of Wings in total, but only 6 Wings contribute to a specific stat: the {{DL|Valuable item|Pretty Wing}} does nothing at all. Wings can be collected from the [[Phenomenon|shadows]] at the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] or [[Marvelous Bridge]] and are given as prizes for clearing higher level floors in the [[Black Tower]] and [[White Treehollow]].

|} 

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, [[Join Avenue]]'s Beauty Salon, Dojo and Café can alter a Pokémon's EVs for a determined price.

===Generation VI===
All items and mechanics for effort values remain the same in [[Generation VI]] as they were in Generation V, except individual stats now max out at 252 EVs instead of 255. This provides no functional difference from previous generations, since stats are calculated by integer division of the effort values by 4, so having 252 EVs has the same effect on a stat as having 255.

Generation VI also introduced a new feature called [[Super Training]], which allows the player to increase effort points for each stat individually, or remove all effort points from a Pokémon entirely. Super Training Regimens feature minigame activities where the Pokémon attacks various balloons with footballs/soccer balls, which award effort points for the stat of the player's choosing as well as awarding a [[Training Bag]]. Training Bags also typically increase effort points, though some of them have other effects—such as the [[Double-Up Bag]], which doubles the number of effort points awarded after a Regimen, or the [[Reset Bag]], which reduces all effort points on a single Pokémon to zero.

Super Training exposes base stats to the player for the first time. Using a Reset Bag will numerically display the effort points a Pokémon just had, which can be reverted by restarting without saving. Additionally, high-level Pokémon can determine their [[individual values]] mathematically by inspecting the values of their stats after a Reset Bag is used.

==Fully Trained Pokémon==
A Fully Trained Pokémon is a Pokémon that has reached 510 EVs overall, the maximum a Pokémon can achieve. In Generations III, IV, and VI, there is an NPC that will give an [[Effort Ribbon]] to Fully Trained Pokémon; in Generation V, an NPC in [[Opelucid City]] will comment that the Pokémon has put in a lot of effort if it is a Fully Trained Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Fully Trained Pokémon can access [[Super Training|Secret Super-Training Regimens]]. Once a Pokémon has reached Fully Trained status, it will not lose it even if its EVs are removed, such as with a Reset Bag or {{cat|friendship-raising Berries}}.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2/Part 13

Takkupanda: /* Opelucid City */ Superscript of Opelucid City changed from B/W to B2/W2 for consistency.

==Opelucid City==
[[File:Opelucid City {{#switch: {{#time: G}}|0|2|4|6|8|10|12|14|16|18|20|22=B|1|3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17|19|21|23=W}}.png|thumb|250px|Opelucid City{{sup/5|{{#switch: {{#time: G}}|0|2|4|6|8|10|12|14|16|18|20|22=B2|1|3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17|19|21|23=W2}}}}]]

[[Opelucid City]] is {{#switch: {{#time: G}}|0|2|4|6|8|10|12|14|16|18|20|22=a convenient city of rapid change that shows no traces of the past|1|3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17|19|21|23=a city that respects history and values old things}}. The [[Opelucid Gym]] is managed only by the city's mayor, [[Drayden]], as [[Iris]] has given up her Gym Leader position.

===Reunite with Iris===
[[Iris]] calls out to you upon entering the city. She points you toward the Gym, but recommends training on {{rt|9|Unova}} before challenging her "grandfather" [[Drayden]].

===Get Props from the old man===
Visit the westernmost house, and speak to the old man inside. He is a big fan of {{pkmn|Musical}}s, and will hand out one [[Prop]] every day for a total of four. Stop by again to get a Big Bag, Fluffy Beard, Gift Box, and Scarlet Hat.

===The Tympole Choir===
There are five {{p|Tympole}} in the house to the north of the Pokémon Center. If you visit with a Tympole in your party, you will have an amazing opportunity to hear six Tympole singing in harmony.

==Route 9==
[[File:Unova Route 9 Winter BW.png|thumb|Route 9]]

{{rt|9|Unova}} is a paved road that runs through a wooded area. To the north is [[Shopping Mall Nine]], which offers the greatest variety of goods in the region.

==Opelucid City==
===Opelucid Gym===

{{sign|bwbuilding|Opelucid City Pokémon Gym Leader: Drayden|The Spartan Mayor}}

The [[Opelucid Gym]] specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are only vulnerable to {{t|Ice}}- and Dragon-type attacks. The Gym consists of two large dragon statues, one near the entrance and the other at the rear wall. Challengers must defeat at least one Trainer from each level to advance. First off, defeat Veteran Lucius to activate the switch on the first dragon's neck; this elevates you to the level of the next two Trainers. On the left, Veteran Rhona prefers fighting defensively, while Veteran Jerry on the right favors offense. Defeat at least one to reach the next level. On the left, Veteran Denae fights in a [[Rotation Battle]], while Veteran Ron on the right fights in a [[Triple Battle]]. Once they fall, your statue rises to [[Drayden]]'s level and the two statues butt heads, allowing you to reach the Gym Leader.

Consider having a Move Tutor teach some new moves; {{m|Dual Chop}} and {{m|Ice Punch}} are available in {{ci|Driftveil}}, while {{m|Icy Wind}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} can be taught in {{to|Lentimas}}. Avoid using {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Electric}} attacks, as dragons are resistant to such moves. {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Revenge}} makes its opponent pay for not knocking it out in one hit, while {{m|Crunch}} deals extra damage from its {{a|Sheer Force}} Ability. {{p|Flygon}}'s {{m|Rock Slide}} nails any Ice-type opponent aiming for its double-weakness, and {{m|Earth Power}} can also inflict serious damage. Lastly, his {{p|Haxorus}} starts with high {{stat|Attack}} and can boost it (and {{stat|Speed}}) even further with {{m|Dragon Dance}}, so knock it out as soon as possible! All three dragons share the {{m|Dragon Tail}} attack, which forces the damaged opponent to switch out.

Defeated, [[Drayden]] awards you the {{badge|Legend}}, which ensures that all Pokémon of level 80 or less will obey you. He also gives you {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}} as a prize.

===Drayden's Story===
[[Drayden]] shows you to his home, where he tells the story of the two dragons, the legend of {{p|Kyurem}}, and the history of his family heirloom.

''Let me tell you the story. It's a long story, but listen closely. It was two years ago when the two dragon Pokémon were awakened. The black dragon Pokémon, {{p|Zekrom}}, pursued what is ideal, with the desire to usher in a new world of hope. And the white dragon Pokémon, {{p|Reshiram}}, sought what is true, with the desire to usher in a new world of goodness. Zekrom and Reshiram were once a single Pokémon. You may wonder why it split in two. The single dragon Pokémon had helped the twin heroes bring a new region into being. But the twin heroes--the older brother who sought the truth and the younger brother who sought ideals--sundered the region in two as they fought to see which of them was right. In that desperate hour, the single dragon Pokémon split its body into a black Pokémon and a white Pokémon, even though ideals and truth don't need to be in opposition! As the story goes, a third dragon Pokémon, {{p|Kyurem}}, also came into existence in that era. And there may be proof of this to be found in a treasure passed down in my family for generations: the [[DNA Splicers]]. [[Professor Juniper]]'s research determined that the materials in the splicers date back to the same era as the materials used in building the [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. Oh, the DNA Splicers are stored very safely. I guard them because I don't know what kind of power might lie within them. But here's what's been bothering me... Could there be one more dragon Pokémon? Even if Kyurem really exists, we don't know what kind of Pokémon it is. For starters, the two Pokémon the ancient Pokémon split into are both overwhelmingly powerful. So if Kyurem exists, could it be just a husk--a shell that was left over?''

===Team Plasma Attacks!===
The building is rocked by a sudden tremor. Outside, the [[Plasma Frigate]] approaches from the sky. It readies its cannon and fires a few shots of ice at the city. Every shot freezes a part of the city, leaving the area difficult to navigate. [[Drayden]] doesn't appreciate this and sends his {{p|Haxorus}} to smash the nearest ice crystal, but it doesn't work. [[Zinzolin]] appears and demands that Drayden hand over the [[DNA Splicers]]. He refuses, but the Sage won't give up so easily. He sends his Grunts to search for the splicers, and the Gym Leader asks that you track them down.

Slide south over the ice to catch up with Drayden, and fight the first Grunt just east of the Pokémon Center. Next, slide north to find the second Grunt outside the former Battle House. After that, track down the third Grunt to the south of the Gym. When all three are defeated, return to the Gym to take on [[Zinzolin]]. Use {{t|Fire}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves to bring the battle to a quick end.

[[Zinzolin]] runs off and [[Drayden]] heals your Pokémon. He steps inside the Gym briefly to retrieve the [[DNA Splicers]], which he gives to you. Just then, one of the [[Shadow Triad]] appears and steals the splicers. The two others appears as well, and the three run off. Head south toward the {{rt|11|Unova}} gate to find one of them waiting for you. Attack with {{type|Fighting}} moves for a decisive victory.

Unfortunately, this [[Shadow Triad|Shadow]] did not have the splicers. He vanishes, and [[Drayden]] runs over to see if you are alright. Just then, [[Hugh]] and [[Cheren]] call on the [[Xtransceiver]]. They saw the ship attack the city, and Cheren is headed there now. He says that [[Humilau City]] has the lowest temperature readings in the region right now, so [[Team Plasma]] must be nearby. Return to [[Undella Town]] and enter the [[Marine Tube]].

==Marine Tube==
[[File:Marine Tube B2W2.png|thumb|Marine Tube]]

The [[Marine Tube]] is an undersea tunnel built with cutting-edge technology. Known as ''The Walk-Through Aquarium'', the path features a transparent dome so that visitors can see the various ocean-dwelling Pokémon. {{p|Wailord}} appears every day from 3pm to 4pm; seeing it swim over and under the tunnel earns you the Wailord Watcher [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]].

[[File:Humilau City {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: n}} mod 4}}|0=Winter|1=Spring|2=Summer|3=Autumn}} B2W2.png|thumb|Humilau City]]

[[Humilau City]] is a resort town with a tropical atmosphere. Surrounded by the ocean, the homes here are built on wooden bridges. In addition to the [[Marine Tube]], the city connects to {{rt|21|Unova}} in the south and {{rt|22|Unova}} in the west.

===Meet up with Hugh===
[[Hugh]] is waiting near the [[Marine Tube]] exit. When you approach him, he suggests taking on the final Gym Leader. But first, you will need to track him down. [[Marlon]] is a man of the sea, and as you walk north, he leaps out of the water and onto the pier. After meeting him here, he will return to the Gym.

===Move Tutor===
The local [[Move Tutor]] lives in the southeast house, directly north of the [[Marine Tube]]. This individual is obsessed with {{DL|Shard|Yellow Shard}}s, and will teach a variety of moves for the right number. {{m|Giga Drain}} will be useful at the final Gym, and {{m|Seed Bomb}} and {{m|ThunderPunch}} can be learned in [[Driftveil City]].

===Time for a Trade===
In the house just north of the Gym, a Roughneck offers to trade Pokémon. He offers a {{p|Tangrowth}} in exchange for a {{p|Mantine}}. Mantine can be found in [[Undella Bay]], except during the winter.

===A New Funfest Mission===
Outside the Roughneck's house is an old man. Talking to him will add a new {{DL|Entralink|Funfest Missions|Funfest Mission}}, ''Memory Training''.

===Mienfoo's Daily Walk===
In the northwest house lives a Socialite and her {{p|Mienfoo}}. Once a day, she will ask that you take Mienfoo on a walk. Lead it around the house for a while, and the old woman rewards you with a {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}}.

===Home is Where the Heart Scales Are===
A Nurse with a {{p|Stunfisk}} lives in the northeast house. She likes flat Pokémon, and will give out five {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}s if you speak to her with a {{p|Luvdisc}} in your party. Luvdisc can only be caught by fishing, but the Super Rod is not obtained until later.

===Humilau Gym===
[[File:Humilau Gym B2W2.png|thumb|Humilau Gym]]
{{sign|bwbuilding|Humilau City Pokémon Gym Leader: Marlon|More Splash Than The Sea}}

The marshy [[Humilau Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work best. To reach the Gym Leader, challengers must move from dock to dock by floating on large lily pads. When stepped on, they move in the same direction until they hit an obstacle. When they hit each other, the first stops and the second moves on. Jump on the first lily pad to reach the southwest dock, and ride the second one eastward. Climb onto the dock and go east to fight Ace Trainer Melina. Float south to the next dock and loop around to reach the bridge. To reach Ace Trainer Santino, ride the nearby pad south then east; this moves another pad into place, letting you continue along the east wall. Take on Ace Trainer Jeanne and cross the water to reach the northwest dock. Float north to reach Ace Trainer Sable, then south to reach Ace Trainer Enzio. Repeat the same clockwise loop to reach [[Marlon]].

[[Marlon]]'s {{p|Carracosta}} tends to start things off with {{m|Shell Smash}}, which cuts its defenses but raises its {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. In addition, its {{a|Sturdy}} Ability prevents it from being taken out in one shot. {{p|Wailord}} can hit opposing {{type|Grass}} Pokémon with {{m|Bounce}}, but otherwise its low defenses make it a big target. His {{p|Jellicent}} can be difficult to take down, especially with {{m|Recover}}. Keep your Pokémon's health above 50% to avoid its powered-up {{m|Brine}} attack. All three of Marlon's Pokémon know the move {{m|Scald}}, so watch out for {{status|burn}}s!

Upon his defeat, [[Marlon]] awards you the {{badge|Wave}}, which ensures that all Pokémon will obey without question. He also hands over {{TM|55|Scald}} as a prize before swimming off.

Outside, [[Hugh]] congratulates you on winning your eighth Badge, and reminds you that [[Team Plasma]] is still up to no good. [[Marlon]] stops by, asking if Team Plasma is actually bad or not. He follows a policy of "the ocean accepts all rivers", and as a result does not seem bothered by the group's wrongdoings. He refuses to help track them down, and just walks away. Hugh asks that you investigate {{rt|22|Unova}} to the west. Stock up on {{ball|Ultra}}s before you go, as {{p|Terrakion|another legendary}} is found nearby!

==Route 22==
[[File:Unova Route 22 {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: n}} mod 4}}|0=Winter|1=Spring|2=Summer|3=Autumn}} B2W2.png|thumb|Route 22]]

The uneven terrain of {{rt|22|Unova}} makes the scenery almost maze-like. Raised walkways connect some elevated areas, while most of the tall grass lies below. The route stretches between [[Humilau City]] to the east and the [[Giant Chasm]] to the west.

===Terrakion is waiting===
The third member of the [[Swords of Justice]] is found in the center of {{rt|22|Unova}}. It seems that it, like {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}}, was also waiting for you. Upon approaching it, you are interrupted by [[Colress]]. He says that you will need the strength to protect your Pokémon in order to fight [[Team Plasma]]. He gives you the {{key|V|Colress MCHN}}, and before he leaves mentions that something he saw in [[Seaside Cave]] reminded him of meeting you on {{rt|4|Unova}}.

Start off with {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Ground}} attacks to wear {{p|Terrakion}} down fast, then follow up with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, or {{type|Bug}} moves to weaken it further. Avoid using {{type|Dark}} attacks, as its {{a|Justified}} Ability raises its {{stat|Attack}} when it is damaged by those moves. If you happen to defeat it, Terrakion will reappear after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Return to Humilau===
The [[Giant Chasm]] is accessible at this point, but cannot be fully explored. Instead, follow the raised walkways southeastward to reach a large boulder, and use {{m|Strength}} to create a shortcut for later. Take [[Colress]]' advice and head for [[Seaside Cave]] on {{rt|21|Unova}}, south of [[Humilau City]].

Chargestone Cave

'''Chargestone Cave''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|電気石の洞穴|でんきいしのほらあな}}''' ''Electric Rock Cave'') is a cave within the western half of the [[Unova]] region. It is connected to {{rt|6|Unova}} at its southern exit, and [[Mistralton City]] in the north.

Chargestone Cave has a strong magnetic field that causes {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} to evolve into {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively, when leveled up here. This magnetism is also evident by the cave's puzzle: the player must push stone fragments blocking some passages so they are attracted by larger magnetic rocks, making it possible to continue.

In {{v2|Black and White|s}}, the cave is initially blocked off by a {{p|Galvantula}} web. After defeating [[Clay]], the player will meet him here, where he will remove the web and give the player {{TM|78|Bulldoze}}. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], part of the cave is inaccessible due to [[Bianca]] and a {{tc|Worker}} blocking the way due to the bridge ahead being down, and repairs don't finish until the player has participated in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] and defeated the [[Team Plasma]] [[Team Plasma Grunt|Grunts]] on the [[Plasma Frigate]] just south of PWT.

After defeating [[Ghetsis]] in Black and White, [[Bronius]] of the [[Seven Sages]] can be found and arrested here. He is guarded by two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s that appear after talking to him, and they must be defeated before Bronius can be arrested. He is the only one of the Seven Sages to do this.

==In the anime==
[[File:Chargestone Cave anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Chargestone Cave in the anime]]
Chargestone Cave debuted in ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' during a flashback. It later appeared as a partial setting for ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'' where [[Professor Juniper]] was doing research. The {{p|Joltik}} and {{p|Galvantula}} that lived there were consuming all the electricity in the vicinity, even kidnapping {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}}. It was later revealed that {{TRT}} was taking rocks from Chargestone Cave, which serves as an energy source for all the Pokémon that live there, and forcing the Joltik and Galvantula out of the cave. After some help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, Team Rocket was chased off, and the cave was once again safe for Joltik and Galvantula to live in. It served as a setting again in ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', where Ash and {{ashfr}} found a group of {{p|Klink}} and a {{p|Klinklang}} that were angered by a pen that was stuck in one of Klinklang's gears, which was later found out to be [[Sunglasses Krokorok]]'s doing. It made a very brief appearance in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.

==In the manga==

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

[[Clay]] led {{adv|Black}} through the Chargestone Cave on their way to Mistralton City, where six of the Unova Gym Leaders were due to gather.

[[Alder]] was defeated by [[N]] in a battle on the mountain range near Chargestone Cave.

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, when the player enters the cave from Mistralton City, the name of the cave is not displayed on the screen upon entering.

==Name origin==
The kanji of its Japanese name refer to {{wp|tourmaline}}, but with a different reading (''denkiishi'' for Chargestone as opposed to ''denkiseki'' for tourmaline).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

On their way to Nimbasa City, Ash and the gang are surprised to come across Meowth, who has been injured. They learn that Meowth has been fired from Team Rocket, so our heroes decide it would be best for Meowth to join them them...as long as he behaves!

Soon after, Axew is lured away and captured by an angry Scrafty. With Meowth translating, Scrafty warns our heroes that if they don’t help it in battle, they’ll never see Axew again! Ash hatches a plan: Meowth and Scraggy will distract Scrafty with negotiations while he frees Axew with the help of Pikachu and Snivy.

When Scrafty discovers the deceit, it immediately challenges Ash to a battle. Ash and Tepig quickly get the upper hand...and Scrafty bursts into tears! With Meowth’s help, Scrafty explains that its den was stolen by a Mandibuzz. Upon further investigation, the gang discovers that the Mandibuzz was kicked out of its own nest after having a fight with a friend.

Meowth agrees to go with the ousted Mandibuzz and ask its friend for forgiveness so it can move back in, and Meowth’s expert negotiating skills seal the deal! The two Mandibuzz are friends again, Scrafty has its den back, and our heroes continue on their way to Nimbasa City—now with Meowth as part of the gang!

==Plot==
On their way to [[Nimbasa City]], the gang are seen taking a break for lunch. While {{AP|Tepig}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing, they find an unconscious {{MTR}} in the bushes. Upon telling everyone, {{an|Cilan}} quickly inspects Meowth's condition. Cilan and {{an|Iris}} give him medicine, and soon after, Meowth regains consciousness. After being startled by the gang, Iris asks Meowth what {{TRT}} is doing here. However, Meowth tells them that he is no longer a part of Team Rocket.

When {{Ash}} asks him what happened, Meowth tries to run away, claiming that nothing happened, but he is not able to run in his condition, and almost collapses. He tells the story of how he was entrusted to carry out an operation, but was unsuccessful. As a result, he was taken back to headquarters to hear what the consequences were. When leaving headquarters, he imagined [[Jessie]] and [[James]] leaving him, so he kept walking.

Upon hearing the story, Cilan suggests to the others that they should let Meowth travel with them, but Ash and Iris don't think that it's a good idea. Cilan then reminds them that he is the only Meowth in [[Unova]], and that he will be lonely. Meowth initially refuses, but Iris says that he will faint again if they leave him. Ash tells Meowth that he can travel with them on the condition that he doesn't do anything bad. Meowth agrees to these terms as he has no reason to do anything bad, seeing as he's no longer a part of Team Rocket.

As they start walking, Meowth flatters the gang on their qualities; commenting on Cilan's soup, calling Iris a princess, and even calling Ash a good Trainer. As they walk, Axew becomes interested in a shiny object placed on the road, but when Axew tries to grab it, he is kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}. The gang follows Scrafty to its hut, but Meowth tries to stop them, explaining that they mustn't get any closer to Scrafty's hut because he could hurt Axew. Ash ignores Meowth and runs towards the hut, but Meowth stops him again, telling him that Scrafty is serious and that they shouldn't anger him. Pikachu agrees with Meowth, and Cilan suggests that they wait there until it things calm down. Inside the hut, Axew tries to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, blowing a hole through the wall, but Scrafty manages to evade it.

Meowth tells the others that he will take it from there, claiming that he is a negotiator. Meowth slowly walks to Scrafty's hut, calling for it to come outside. He asks Scrafty why he is doing this, and Scrafty tells him it will release Axew if it gets a Pokémon to help it in a fight. While Meowth negotiates with Scrafty, Ash makes his way around the hut as Scrafty shows Meowth that Axew is in one piece—but is tied up. Higher up, Ash notices that there is a window on the side, later suggesting that there is a way to release Axew. He tells Meowth to talk with Scrafty, but Meowth explains that Scrafty is an evolved form of {{AP|Scraggy}}, and that it will be good idea to take Scraggy with him to distract Scrafty. Ash complies and lets Scraggy go with Meowth, and takes {{AP|Snivy}} with him. As Snivy is released from her [[Poké Ball]], she attacks Meowth, only for Ash to tell her that Meowth is now their friend.

Meanwhile, Jessie and James are in the [[Nimbasa City]] underground, completing another one of their operations.

Meowth and Scraggy go to Scrafty while Ash goes around the hut again. As Scraggy and Scrafty show which moves they can use, Meowth suggests that Scrafty should teach Scraggy some good moves in an attempt to distract it. Scrafty accepts, and shows Scraggy how to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Scraggy tries to use the move, distracting Scrafty and allowing Meowth to signal to Ash that he can release Axew. Ash tells Snivy to use {{m|Vine Whip}} and carry Axew out of the window. As Meowth pretends to alert that Axew is missing, he and Scraggy leave so Pikachu can use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Scrafty and return to the others.

Upon returning Axew, Meowth says that Scraggy is worried about Scrafty, but Scrafty returns and challenges the gang. Ash accepts and chooses Tepig to battle, who easily wins the fight. Meowth and Cilan investigate why Scrafty is doing these things. After refusing to speak, Scrafty admits that its nest was taken away, and it needs help to get it back, and that everyone he has asked has refused to help—resulting in it kidnapping Pokémon. After hearing the story, Ash and his friends agree to help Scrafty.

Scrafty leads them to his nest, showing them that a {{p|Mandibuzz}} had taken it. Scrafty tries to attack Mandibuzz, but is easily defeated by her {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Scraggy decides to try to defend his "older brother". Mandibuzz uses {{m|Pluck}} and dives into Scraggy, but Scraggy manages to dodge the attack. Mandibuzz hits the head in the ground and gets stuck on the rocks. As Mandibuzz tries to get free, Scrafty commands Scraggy to use Hi Jump Kick, which successfully hits and defeats Mandibuzz. Upon defeating Mandibuzz, she starts crying, explaining that she was kicked out of her flock because she ate all of the food, forcing her to take Scrafty's nest. After hearing this, Meowth suggests that they pick up some food and give it to Mandibuzz's flock. After seeing it as a peace-offering, Mandibuzz is welcomed back to her flock.

As the trio continue their journey, Iris compliments Meowth's negotiation skills, to which everybody agrees. Suddenly, Iris decides to capture Meowth and throws a Poké Ball at him. The catch is unsuccessful as Meowth yells at her, claiming that he belongs to no-one. He agrees to continue traveling with the group, as long as they don't try to catch him.

Finally, Jessie and James are seen at night in [[Anville Town]]'s train yard, planning to report their progress to [[Dr. Zager]].

* This episode is the only one in the {{series|Best Wishes}} to feature {{an|Giovanni}} in one of {{MTR}}'s fantasies.

===Errors===
* When {{p|Scrafty}} is checking its pants to see if Axew is all right, {{p|Axew}}'s eyelid when he's mad are white, when he was about to use the {{m|Dragon Rage}} on Scrafty.
* When Ash tells Snivy to wait before Meowth will go to save Axew while Scrafty was teaching Scraggy a new move, the stripe on {{p|Snivy}}'s neck turns green for a split frames.
* During several scenes throughout the episode, {{p|Scraggy}}'s pupils were changing designs sometimes.
* When the first Mandibuzz explains her problem to Meowth, he replies "If you went an ate your buddy's food without ''his'' permission, you did a bad thing." The "buddy" turns out to be another Mandibuzz, which is a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#Female only|female-only species]].

===Dub edits===
*In the English dub, Meowth makes a reference to [[wp:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]] when he says "Sure, Sherlock!" as Cilan asks Meowth to let him interrogate Scrafty. Cilan's outfit during the scene could also be influenced by the popular image of Sherlock Holmes.
*In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American]] dub, when Meowth was trying to distract Scrafty, instead of saying ''"Scrafty! Watch out, look at that!!"'', he points and says ''"{{tt|¡¡Que horror, los de [[wp:Digimon|Digimon]]!!|The horror, the ones from Digimon!!}}"''.
**A similar reference in which a Pokémon character looks down to the Digimon franchise happened in [[DP045]].

Talk:Mightyena (Pokémon)

2014-06-11T16:35:18Z

Takkupanda: /* Coloration */ Maned Wolves

==Behaviour==
I noticed the following in the 'Behaviour' section:
''Mightyena live in packs led by a dominant Alpha Male and his mate. These wolf-like Pokémon use a number of vocal sounds to communicate with each other over a distance. When a scout sights prey, it alerts the pack with a loud howl. The pack divides into two groups for the hunt, one chasing the prey to a specific point, and the other jumping out in an ambush.''
Where does this actually come from? It doesn't seem to be in any of the 'dex entries. Perhaps some of this was in an anime episode that I missed, although I somehow doubt it - the 'Alpha Male' stuff strikes me as especially suspect. Is this perhaps fan speculation? Please correct me if I'm wrong. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 05:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
:Okay, after further investigation, I'm convinced this is fanon, and I'm taking it out. Seems the user who added it here was warned about adding speculative stuff to Pokémon articles, although this Alpha Male stuff actually seems to originate on Wikipedia, as far as I can gather (and is still on there...) [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 06:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
::It was taken from the basic nature of wild dogs fyi, not just because Wikipedia had it. They just already had it worded if it came straight from them. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 13:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Hmm, fair enough. It actually caught my attention because wild hyena packs are always female-dominated, and so the mention of an Alpha Male seemed really out of place.

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

Sure, Heatran created [[Stark Mountain]]... but if it's more Heatrans in the anime, anyone of them can do so. Unlike Arceus, which it only can be one of - after all, he was the ORIGINAL One and created the friggin universe. According to the Sinnoh myths, which is canon in addition to official as they WAS WRITTEN by [[Game Freak]], Arceus only made ''one'' creator and ruler of time, and only ''one'' creator of space - Dialga and Palkia. And no, I have never said that we should delete Giratina (anime) because of that ridicouls reason - we having someting in the rules called [[Bulbapedia:Notability requirements|notability requirements]], which Giratina (anime) that Giratina and most other articles about movie Pokémon fits perfectly.

this may be speculation but

wouldnt it make sense to put in the trivia section that Palkia and dialga's typing corresponds with the gem they have?

hard diamond has a '''steel''' hard master of time while smooth Pearl has '''water''' type considering pearls come from water

also I've noticed that palkia has some fish traits to it (the wiings look like fins) which also live in the water (palkia it'self swims through space which it controls) and dialga's dinosaur appearance can be connected to time (some of the first living creatures)

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

== Soil system in generation IV? ==

it seems the soil and watering work differently from generation III, the soil visibly changes color, from dark brown, to an orange-brown, to pale and sand-like. as far as i can tell, the soil dries by one shade in half the time it takes the plant to grow a stage. the planted berries start with dark watered soil, and it seems the timer on the soil resets based on when the plants are watered, as opposed to being directly linked with plant growth.
:Not to mention the kinds of mulch you can buy that also affect the soil. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 23:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
::moreover, based on my observations, you have to water twice as often for the best results, and the max yield for older berries seems higher. those details are probably pretty important. ~Kendai
:::Later on, I'm definitely gonna be revamping the page. Adding a "growth" section, possibly to each generation. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I did a careful watching of berry growth under many different factors. I planted berries in routes 208(normal), 212 (rainy), and 228 (sandstorm). each four-berry place had one plant each with growth and damp mulch.

Basically I found out that it's as simple as watering slightly more often. When a berry is planted, it starts with fully damp dark brown soil. if left alone, it will dry to orange-brown soil the same time it grows it's first stage, and dry out completely to a sandy color at the next stage. When the player waters berries with the sprayduck, the soil returns to the darkest color if it has dried, and will stay fully moist for the same amount of time it takes the plant to grow a stage.

This seems to be a slightly more flexible system, as the watering time is not fixed to the four stages, any time the plants are watered the soil will stay damp for a full growth stage duration.

However, I have seen cases of the soil drying faster than the plants grow. I'm not sure what causes this, as in my test the soil dried in sync with growth times in all three places. ~Kendai
:my test used one type of berry. While growing berries normally I noticed a slower-growing berry group actually dried out faster than others. This might mean the growth time list may also need a list of "drying times" for generation 4. I did use growth much on the slower berries and damp mulch on the faster ones, but despite that the slower set still grew slower. More observations will be needed. Anyone care to help with that? ~Kendai
::I've noticed that the five event berries (Enigma and its buddies) dry twice as fast as the other 96-hour berries (Liechi and its buddies). I'm thinking we ought implement a drying times table or something. Anyone know what the game's code says? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I have drying times for most of the berries now.

16-20 2 hours
21-26 7 hours
27-30 5 hours
31-35 7 hours

A pattern I saw in "drying rate" from some websites didn't pan out as it had 53-59 drying in 15 hours, and my test of them had them drying faster. I'm about to do a small test with fast growing berries, but I'm certain the result will show better berry yield from keeping the soil moist opposed to once each stage.

Imagine the soil's moisture as a percentage, the soil turns orange at 50%, and white at 0% the percentage reduces by the drying rate each hour. the match for this is consistent with my recorded drying times without mulch, But if I'm right so far, a whole can of worms is opened for how mulch effects drying rate, because the growth much is making the Razz dry over 50% in one hour, but if the rate increase is by 25%, then it'd only lower by 43.75%.

== Damage-reducing Berries ==

Do these reduce an attack's damage by 50%? The reason I ask is because no damage calculator I know of factors these in, so it's been bugging me for a while. Would the effect be as if the defending pokemon had +2 defense? [[User:Juunannio|Juunannio]] 10:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

== Berry dropping ==

After berries grow in loamy soil, they stay for a while, but replant or vanish if not picked. The fact doesn't seem to be covered in this article, or i missed it while looking. I was hoping to find an explanation of how long berries stay on a plant after growing. The individual berry pages list total growth time and length of each stage, but i haven't seen the addition of how long they stay before vanishing on those pages either. ~Kendai
:A set of berries I forgot about seemed to last half the total growth time, or twice the growth of a stage, based on the stage they were at and when they were planted. can someone confirm? ~Kendai

== Which Berry?? ==

Hell I was playing PBR and a Pokémon (can't remember which) used Draco Meteor, but after its stats droped it recovered them with a berry - which berry did it use - I tried to find on here but no luck (or I'm blind - probably blind to be fair) [[User:PhantomCX|PhantomCX]] 15:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

:No berry programmed into [[Generation IV]] has an effect like you say happened. The only berry that raises a lowered stat is the [[Ginema Berry]], a Japan-only [[e-Reader]] berry available only in [[Generation III]].

:However, there is an item available to Generation IV that restores dropped stats--the [[White Herb]]. It's possible that you confused the White Herb for a berry, since the White Herb does vanish after being used. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

== Apricorns ==

{{u|Missingno. Master}} just added a bunch of apricorns to the list of berries. While both come from fruit-bearing trees, I think the Apricorns can be thought of as separate, what with the lacking "berry" in the name and all. I'm opening this for discussion before I revert, so I can hear everyone else's thoughts and avoid an edit war. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 20:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

== Kanto, Loamy Soil, and Generation II ==

So if Kanto's soil is so infertile that it doesn't have loamy soil and can't support berry growth, how does it have berry trees in Gen II like the one on Route 1 between the ledges? It's always stated that Kanto doesn't grow berries because the soil can't support it - due to the region of Japan most likely - but in Gen II it could support berry growth. Does this mean that Kanto's soil got better in just three years? ''If'' GSDS comes out, then we might have an answer, but it seems like a trivia-worthy mentioning to me. GSDS would also answer a lot of questions about berries - like if a "Berry" is an "Oran Berry" without the actual name. But this inconsistency with Kanto's soil has been bothering me for some time now. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 00:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's got, what, one or two berry trees, and they're close to the west side of it anyway, so I'd say it got better by a little, but it's gonna go nowhere near Hoenn and Sinnoh levels anytime soon.
:Funny thing though... the excuse given is volcanic, when there's several berry plots just outside [[Mt. Chimney]] in Hoenn. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Performance ==

The berries can be typically grouped into groups of 5. Eg. Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rast and Aspear Berries, all cure a status ailment. So shouldn't they all have the same level at 100% performance. In the articles, Cheri, Chesto and Aspear have level 13. While Pecha has 14, and raswt at 12. Becasue if you try a Cheri or Rawst you'd get around the 10's. But if you try Figy or Mago you'd normally get high 10's or low 20's. So i think berries in the same group have the same level at 100% performance. So if someone gets level 14 for Pecha, all the others in the group should be changed to the highest level if it is in the same group.--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

== Formula ==

:First off, that signature template is prohibited per our {{bp|signature policy}}. Secondly, math tags are disabled so I've put together an image to do it in proper math markup. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
::Does that apply for this page or every article? --[[User:Zelda311|Zelda311]] 15:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it very simply be ''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''? I admit I don't usually get less than max (and I've only worked on 16-20 in Gen IV recently to remember well) to say that the current formula is categorically wrong, but, most damningly, it implies that, if c evaluates to 0, you can't get maximum yield. In some hundreds of recent plantings, I've gotten max yield from max waterings, without fail, which doesn't seem very random (at the very least, c evaluating to 0 should have been a 1 in 8 chance). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 05:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
:I just looked at the results of a few tests I wrote down once upon a time, and they actually suggest that it is ''not'' so simple as "''actual_yield = (stages_watered + 1) * minimum_yield''" (e.g., I apparently got 5 Cheri berries from watering ''once'', in the "growing bigger" stage). On the other hand, I still think that the current formula is wrong (refer above again: the random variable should not allow consistent max yield). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] 06:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I think there is something wrong with the berry formula as it stands now. On the Leppa berry page, it says it will yield 2-5 berries. This means that a=2 and b=5, yes? Assuming you water the plant at least once at every stage, and that the random number chosen is the maximum (in this case, 5), you end up with the number 4. [((2-5)*(4-1))+5)/4]+5 = 4
The berry formula needs to exist in such a way that the maximum berry yield is the same number you end up with. (I've planted several Leppa berries in gen 4; I CONSISTENTLY get 5 berries at every stage.)
So, unless the numbers on the individual berry pages are wrong, or if the true maximum yield is never possible, then this formula is still wrong.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 17:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
*So, the formula has been fixed, but there is still no explanation for decimals and how rounding is done.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 12:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I believe the variable for "c" in the formula section is incorrect. It should read "c is a number randomly chosen between 0 and (a minus b), inclusive". [[User:Poccil|Poccil]] 14:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== HeartGold and SoulSilver ==
I noticed while working on this and the individual berry pages that required it that the shards that were traded for them seemed to match the color either completely or partially of the color of the shard used to obtain that particular berry. I would like a second opinion since I will not add it as trivia without other opinions. I also used the berries' actual pictures and not the sprites for this. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 18:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

== Berry list suggestion ==

It would be extremely useful to have a list (or should I say a comparison) of berries by the Poffin sheen/condition point yield. Or perhaps (since its usefulness requires a lot of space) one on each page [[Beauty Contest]]/[[Cool Contest]]/etc. which gives information on such things, as, base level, level at 00:40 (common lower bound), sheen yield, stat yield at 00:60times, trunc(255/sheenYield)*statYield, etc.

In Gold/Silver or HeartGold/SoulSilver, There is a specific character who gives you a call (Im not exactly sure what the name was, but it may have been a fisherman or a hiker), That called to tell you his Pokémon was eating right berries now.

The only other thing about them I could find on the site is that they can be traded for accessories at the flower shop in Floaroma Town, also in Sinnoh.

== Organizing list(s) of Berries: per Generation or one master list? ==

This is a big question and would entail a bit of work to execute, but what if we consolidated all the Berry lists into a single section (analogous to the movelists on type articles, [[Normal (type)#Moves|e.g.]])? With the exception of Gen 2, virtually all Berries have reappeared in later generations with the same effects, so we're currently duplicating a ''lot'' of information by having the Berry lists split per generation. And, of course, the graphics used for Berry trees are completely different in Gen VI, so the old Berry table template just doesn't work anymore. (I'm tempted to subst: it to remove those columns altogether.) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 01:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

== Proposing a change from "tracks" to "locus" ==

I've been meaning to bring this up since the game was first announced, but I never got around to typing up my reasoning. I realize it'll be difficult to change others' opinions now, with everyone having gotten used to the title "Tracks of Light," but I might as well try.

I propose that we use the translation of the title "Locus of Light," rather than "Tracks of Light." While it's true that the word used in the title, 軌跡, can be translated as "wagon tracks," that really doesn't seem to fit the premise of the game so much. As stated in the {{jwp|軌跡|Wikipedia article for the term}}, however:

<blockquote>軌跡 (''kiseki'', locus) are wheel tracks left behind by an automobile or the like. It can also be taken to indicate a pioneering action, or emotional growth. See {{jwp|軌跡 (数学)|Locus (mathematics)}}</blockquote>

The word "tracks" doesn't really carry the same meaning. On the other hand, "{{wp|locus}}" can have different meanings:

* {{wp|Locus of control}}, psychological term referring to "a person's belief about what causes the good or bad results in his life"
* {{wp|Locus (mathematics)|Locus}}, a mathematical term referring to a collection of points, "typically applied to a condition which defines... a curve"

Also, "Locus of Light" just plain sounds cooler.

Therefore, I think the title "Locus of Light" would work better than "Tracks of Light." [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 06:03, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with this reasoning. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
::If you want to be more simpler you could just say locus can be defined as "a center or source, as of activities or power"[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loci?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic]. So it's basically Locus (Loci?) of Light => "source of light". '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 06:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

::::Well, the translation was supposed to be going for the "pioneering action, or emotional growth" definition of the word, as my dictionary has it: (前人の行いの跡) -- (traces of what predecessors have done). Part of the reason it sounds so strange as "tracks of light" is because I couldn't think of a better way to write the above meaning in a name without it getting it way too long (and all the dictionary suggested was tracks, which I should have known people would pull the other meaning). I think people should take this caption line from corocoro into consideration: "新たな光に導かれて、ポケモンレンジャーの戦いが始まる！！その活躍が軌跡となる！！" -- "Guided by a new light, the Pokemon Ranger battle begins!! Those actions become tracks!!" (for a future generation) and then the proposed: "Guided by a new light, the Pokemon Ranger battle begins!! Those actions becomes a locus" (a curve/ a collection of points). Though I agree that the "tracks" translation sounds stupid, I still think they are going for that meaning of a previous generation doing something so the next generation can follow off of that... Any thoughts? ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC))
:::::Graar, why didn't you bring this up before everything was already moved??? *shakes fist* I kid, I kid. Actually, I had looked around extensively for other uses of the term in relation to this game for clues of what was intended, I must have overlooked the Corocoro caption... D8
:::::Maybe "trails" would be better, then...? But at this point I think we should wait either for more info, or for the game itself (unfortunately I won't personally get my hands on the game until March 19 at the earliest - waiting until I'm in Japan to buy it :/).

* Oppose change to "Locus", however would support change to "Path", as Path has been appearing in the media, including [http://ie.ds.ign.com/objects/057/057609.html IGN]. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 20:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
* Oppose on the grounds that the title seems to be drawing attention to the feature of drawing a pattern to summon a Pokémon. Whether or not this is a "Locus" as a curve or a "Track" as a symbol hasn't been (to me) sufficiently proven. On a side note, the English Title will likely differ, so I don't see much of an issue with using this literal translation of the title until the game is announced for North America.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 20:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
* Oppose on the grounds that you seem to have no idea what tracks are. Tracks are a path left behind when something travels. For instance, an animal walking through the woods is found by following its tracks. The process of following tracks is even known universally as "tracking". The title "Tracks of Light" obviously refers to a path of some kind, and ties in to the Ranger theme, since Pokémon Rangers would be well-versed in tracking techniques, in order to find and help sick or injured Pokémon in the wild. As an aside, how "cool" something sounds should not matter in the slightest, as accuracy should always take priority over personal opinion.--[[User:Yaezakura|Yaezakura]] 20:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
* I think we should discuss a better alternative to the word 'tracks' because I do believe that it is a little misleading for some. Sorry I'm late to this discussion >_< ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 03:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC))
* Although "locus" is way cooler, I think that "tracks" is more appropriate. To be clear, "光の軌跡" means "the path that is left by a light source", like the "light drawing" thing. So, although "tracks" may sound stupid or whatever, that is what the title meant.--[[User:Tobytse99|tobytse]] 16:24, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
* Stupid exams.. Anyway, I '''oppose'''. All of the above, plus the fact that all the other websites are using Tracks of Light which seems to make more sense than using the word Locus - which I've quite frankly never heard of. --'''[[user:Emp|Emp]], out''' 22:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
* '''Oppose emphatically.''' This is madness. No other site calls it "Locus of light", which sounds stupid in and of itself. Tracks of Light is the name used by Serebii.net.

List of moves by range in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

2014-01-27T09:52:47Z

Takkupanda: /* All team members in the room */ Added Tailwind

{{incomplete}}

In the '''{{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series''', '''[[move]]s''' function differently from the [[version|main series]] games. Moves have various '''ranges''' that determine what [[Dungeon tile|tiles]] they affect. The following list is organized by range with a description of the range followed by moves that fall into that category.

==Enemy in front==

These moves affect only an enemy directly in front of the user. They cannot [[#Enemy in front, cuts corners|cut corners]], meaning that if a foe is diagonal to the user, the move will fail if there is a wall adjacent to both the user and the foe. Most moves fall under this category.

Moves with an asterisk (*) technically affect the user, since they are two turn moves. They will still only damage the enemy in front though.

==Facing Pokémon==
These moves affect both friends and foes in front.

*{{m|Psych Up}}

==Facing tile and 2 flanking tiles==

These moves affect enemies 1 tile in front and diagonally in front of the user. There is currently only one move with this range.

*{{m|Wide Slash}}

==Enemy in front, cuts corners==

These moves are usually [[special moves]] or [[stat modifiers]]. Only a foe directly in front of the user is affected. However, these moves can hit a foe on any diagonal, even if walls get in the way.

*{{m|Sand-Attack}}
*{{m|Poison Sting}}
*{{m|Sing}}
*{{m|Supersonic}}
*{{m|Acid}}
*{{m|Ember}}
*{{m|Water Gun}}
*{{m|Blizzard}}

*{{m|Charm}}
*{{m|Attract}}
*{{m|Present}}
*{{m|Hidden Power}}

==Enemy up to 2 tiles away==

[[Priority#Priority moves|Priority moves]] that inflict damage fall under this category. These moves can hit an enemy within 2 tiles and can cut corners. Also, they pass through teammates, allowing a partner to support the leader even in hallways.

*{{m|Quick Attack}}
*{{m|Mach Punch}}
*{{m|Fake Out}}
*{{m|Vacuum Wave}}
*{{m|Aqua Jet}}
*{{m|Bullet Punch}}
*{{m|Ice Shard}}
*{{m|Shadow Sneak}}
*{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}
*{{m|Sucker Punch}}

==Line of sight==

These moves can hit anyone along the same row, column, or diagonal the user is facing. As a result, these moves have excellent range, which makes them useful as preemptive attacks. However, they usually have fewer [[Power points|PP]] to compensate for the excellent range.

*{{m|Pin Missile}}
*{{m|SonicBoom}}
*{{m|Flamethrower}}
*{{m|Hydro Pump}}
*{{m|Ice Beam}}
*{{m|Psybeam}}
*{{m|BubbleBeam}}
*{{m|Aurora Beam}}
*{{m|Hyper Beam}}
*{{m|Razor Leaf}}
*{{m|String Shot}}
*{{m|Fire Spin}}
*{{m|Spike Cannon}}
*{{m|Bubble}}
*{{m|Psywave}}
*{{m|Spider Web}}
*{{m|Sludge Bomb}}
*{{m|Octazooka}}
*{{m|Zap Cannon}}
*{{m|DragonBreath}}
*{{m|Aura Sphere}}
*{{m|Bonemerang}}
*{{m|Bullet Seed}}
*{{m|Energy Ball}}
*{{m|Focus Blast}}
*{{m|Hydro Cannon}}
*{{m|Shadow Ball}}
*{{m|Leaf Storm}}
*{{m|Worry Seed}}
*{{m|Twineedle}}
*{{m|Icy Wind}}
*{{m|Weather Ball}}
*{{m|Water Pulse}}
*{{m|Meteor Mash}}
*{{m|Signal Beam}}
*{{m|Icicle Spear}}
*{{m|Rock Wrecker}}

==Enemies within 1 tile range==

These moves affect all enemies adjacent to the user, even Ghost types in walls. These moves do have fewer [[Power points|PP]] because they can affect multiple enemies with one use.

*{{m|Cut}}
*{{m|Stun Spore}}
*{{m|Thunderbolt}}
*{{m|Night Shade}}
*{{m|Blast Burn}}
*{{m|Lava Plume}}
*{{m|Overheat}}
*{{m|Bug Buzz}}
*{{m|Dark Pulse}}
*{{m|Seed Flare}}
*{{m|Sleep Powder}}
*{{m|Lovely Kiss}}
*{{m|Chatter}}

==All enemies in the room==

These moves affect all enemies in the same room as the user. If used in a hallway, these moves only affect enemies within a 2 tile range or visibility. Obviously, these moves can be very useful in clearing out a room if they do damage. As a result, damaging moves in this category have even fewer [[Power points|PP]] than line of sight moves.

*{{m|Attack Order}}
*{{m|Dark Void}}
*{{m|Vacuum-Cut}}
*{{m|Growl}}
*{{m|Heal Block}}
*{{m|Heat Wave}}
*{{m|Memento}}
*{{m|Spore}}
*{{m|Powder Snow}}
*{{m|Sweet Scent}}
*{{m|Silver Wind}}
*{{m|Discharge}}
*{{m|Roar of Time}}
*{{m|Earth Power}}
*{{m|Spacial Rend}}
*{{m|Ominous Wind}}
*{{m|Odor Sleuth}}
*{{m|Draco Meteor}}

==User==

These moves only affect the user.

*{{m|Swords Dance}}
*{{m|Mist}}
*{{m|Counter}}
*{{m|Magnet Rise}}
*{{m|Growth}}
*{{m|Meditate}}
*{{m|Rage}}
*{{m|Teleport}}

*{{m|Reflect}}
*{{m|Focus Energy}}
*{{m|Bide}}
*{{m|Mirror Move}}
*{{m|Amnesia}}
*{{m|Transform}}
*{{m|Acid Armor}}
*{{m|Rest}}
*{{m|Sharpen}}
*{{m|Conversion}}
*{{m|Substitute}}
*{{m|Mind Reader}}
*{{m|Curse}} (when used by non-Ghost types)
*{{m|Conversion 2}}
*{{m|Protect}}
*{{m|Belly Drum}}

*{{m|Lock-On}}
*{{m|Endure}}
*{{m|Pursuit}}
*{{m|Vital Throw}}
*{{m|Synthesis}}
*{{m|Mirror Coat}}
*{{m|Rock Polish}}

==Only the allies in the room==

These beneficial moves affect only ''other'' teammates; they do not affect the user.

*{{m|Helping Hand}}

==All team members in the room==

These beneficial moves affect only team members in the room (or in 2-tile range in a hallway). They can power up teammates or protect them. These moves also affect the user.

*{{m|Agility}}
*{{m|Aromatherapy}}
*{{m|Heal Bell}}
*{{m|Safeguard}}
*{{m|Tailwind}}

==All team members on the floor==

These beneficial moves affect all team members on the floor, including the user.

*{{m|Milk Drink}}
*{{m|Moonlight}}
*{{m|Morning Sun}}

==All Pokémon in the room==

These moves affect ''all'' Pokémon in the room, friend or foe.

*{{m|Baton Pass}}
*{{m|Earthquake}}
*{{m|Magnitude}}

==All enemies on the floor==

The description is very straightforward. These moves affect all enemies on the floor. However, any sleeping ones will wake up.

*{{m|Perish Song}}

==Floor==

These moves affect the whole floor and all Pokémon friend or foe. Weather and certain other moves fall under this category.

*{{m|Sandstorm}}
*{{m|Sunny Day}}
*{{m|Rain Dance}}
*{{m|Hail}}
*{{m|Water Sport}}
*{{m|Mud Sport}}

==Wall==
While this category does fall into front range, it is not designed to hit enemies, but can be used to break walls. Only one move falls into this category.

*{{m|Rock Smash}}

Recruitment

2014-01-23T18:01:47Z

Takkupanda: /* Recruitment-affecting items */ Added Mt. Mistral to Friend Bow Locations in MDTDS

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Recruitment.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Smoochum}} asking to join the team]]
'''Recruitment''' is [[Mystery Dungeon game mechanics|the main method]] of obtaining new [[Pokémon]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|their]] [[Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|sequels]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] while inside a mystery dungeon. After defeating an enemy in a dungeon, it will occasionally offer to join the player's team.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, if a newly-recruited Pokémon—a recruit who has never cleared or warped out a dungeon—or the team's leader faints before making it out of the dungeon, it will leave the party permanently. Dungeons consisting of multiple parts—such as [[Mt. Thunder]]—will account reaching checkpoint as making it out.

The games contain items that increase the chance of Pokémon asking to be recruited. These are important as the base recruit rate of certain Pokémon, most notably {{p|Kecleon}}, is below zero.

There is a limit of 413 Pokémon at one time in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], the limit is instead 522 Pokémon.

==Requirements==
In addition to the prospective recruit having an effective recruit rate higher than zero, there are several other prerequisites for recruiting a certain Pokémon to be possible:
* In the first two games, offers will only be made if there is space in the current party. In the sequels and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, this requirement was removed. Instead, excess members simply warp out of the dungeon. In Explorers of the Sky and Gates to Infinity, players can choose which member to send home.
* The team leader must deal the finishing blow that causes the enemy to faint.
* The enemy must be adjacent to the team leader when the finishing blow is delivered. However, Pokémon that are not immediately recruited when the final blow is dealt, but after a short cutscene (many [[Legendary Pokémon]] for instance), are an exception to this rule.
* Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Omastar}} in [[Brine Cave]] are unrecruitable. In addition, many boss [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be recruited on the first visit. In Rescue Team, all but nine fully-evolved Pokémon cannot be recruited and have to be acquired via evolving.

===Fast Friend===
The [[IQ]] Skill "Fast Friend" raises the recruitment rate by 1%. It's important to notice this 1% is crucial for recruiting Kecleon, which has a recruitment rate of -49.5% (-33.9% in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]), making it impossible to be recruited with only a high level Pokémon and a Golden Mask/Amber Tear.

Fast Friend is learned only by Pokémon in IQ Groups [[List_of_Pokémon_by_IQ_group#Group B|B]] and [[List_of_Pokémon_by_IQ_group#Group H|H]].

====Friend Bow====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue versions]], the only such item to increase recruitment is the Friend Bow.

Further Friend Bows can be purchased from {{p|Kecleon}} shops in [[Joyous Tower]]. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Time and Darkness versions]], the Friend Bow is supplemented with a number of other items, but can still be bought from Kecleon Shops in [[Zero Isle North]]. In Explorers of Sky, the Friend Bow is able to be won as a prize item from the Recycle Shop in Spinda's Cafe.

The following Wonder Mail S mission allows the player to explore the Drenched Bluff and receive the Friend Bow as a reward.

These Gifts do not work on evolved Pokémon.

There are also Gifts for specific Pokémon.

Gifts are given as prizes after completing missions. They can be bought at {{p|Cinccino}}'s Gift shop. They are also available with specific passwords.

Spinda's Café

2014-01-21T17:32:14Z

Takkupanda: /* Spinda's Juice Bar */ Hunger seed reduced my stats in my recent run, so moved it from "no stat increase" to "stat decrease"

[[File:Spindacafe.png|thumb|right|300px|Spinda's Café]]
'''Spinda's Café''' (Japanese: '''パッチールのカフェ''' ''Patcheel's Café'') is a location only in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. The day after the {{player}} and his/her partner complete [[Mt. Bristle]], they notice that there is a {{p|Spinda}} near a rock at the crossroads saying that the location of the rock would be the location of something. The next day, a {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} will be there examining the same spot. The day Chatot asks the player to investigate [[Waterfall Cave]], there will be a hole where the rock was and a sign claiming that those who enter will be rewarded with their hopes and dreams. After it finally opens, Wynaut and Wobbuffet will invite the player in. There will be two shops that are available to the player, neither of which will cost the player any Poké.

==Spinda's Juice Bar==
The shop on the left is known as Spinda's Juice Bar. It will give the player an opportunity to turn edible items into drinks that may boost stats, [[IQ]], or just do nothing at all. When [[Gummi]]s are used here, they will always increase IQ and stats. If the drink is particularly successful, IQ or stats may increase again, and if a Gummi is really good, it will do the same thing as a normal Gummi, and boost a random stat by up to 5. However, turning Hunger Seed, edible [[lookalike item]]s or {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Grimy Food}} into drinks may lower stats.

===Drink Descriptions===
When a player orders a drink, regardless of what ingredients are used, upon drinking it a message will describe the drink to the player. These messages are not associated with the ingredient that is chosen, nor are they associated with the type of drink that is created (tea, broth, shake, etc.)

*Possible sayings for a regular drink:
:''"A light, rich flavor that just melts in your mouth."''
:''"A savory fragrance and unique bitterness come together for a mature flavor..."''
:''"Moderately sweet, the natural flavor comes bursting forth..."''

* Possible sayings for a stat-lowering drink
:''"(Any of the above descriptions) And then you're hit with this…fishy aftertaste…Ugh..Disgusting…"''
:''"This…this is a flavor for a true connoisseur… This flavo…this strong flavor…Only the overwhelming flavor remains…It tastes so terrible I want to cry..."''
:''"An intense shock runs through your entire body! Bleah! This tastes terrible!"''

* Possible sayings for a good feeling drink
:''"The various flavors don't clash…Instead, they blend together in beautiful harmony in this fine drink!"''
:''"The delicious flavor overwhelms your senses and delights your digestive system."''
:''"An indescribably wonderful flavor… A special blend for the discerning Pokémon"''

* The description (only possibly) for a miracle drink
:''"Unbelieeeveable!! Never before has a heavenly, super-special, incredible, miracle-combination flavor like this been experienced! Right now, right here, (consumer) is enjoying a flavor that is out of this world!"''

===Good Feeling Stat Increases===
When Spinda makes a good feeling drink, even drinks that ordinarily would do nothing, will give a stat boost that will depend upon what ingredient is used.

The following are drinkable items that will result in a stat increase that ordinarily would have no positive effect:

* '''IQ increase''': Max Elixir, Eyedrop Seed, Nectar

* '''+1 Max HP''': Heal Seed, Oran Berry, Plain Seed, Reviver Seed, Slip Seed

* '''+2 Max HP''': Apple, Big Apple, Blast Seed, Cheri Berry Chesto Berry, Grimy Food, Pecha Berry, Pure Seed, Quick Seed, Rawst Berry, Stun Seed, Vanish Seed, Vile Seed, Violent Seed, Warp Seed

*'''+4 Max HP''': Blinker Seed, Sleep Seed, Totter Seed, X-eye Seed

* '''IQ increase AND +1 Max HP''': Dropeye Seed, Dough Seed, Mix Elixir, Reviser Seed, Via Seed, Gravelyrock

Some items will not ever get a good feeling stat increase, mainly items that permanently boost stats such as [[health drinks]] and several seeds.

The following are drinkable items that will never get a good feeling stat increase:

* '''Seeds''': Doom Seed, Joy Seed, Life Seed

* '''Drinks''': Calcium, Iron, Protein, Zinc, Ginseng

* '''Berries''': Sitrus Berry

* '''Other''': Golden Apple

===Cup prizes===
After drinking something at the juice bar, Spinda may look at the bottom of the cup and say that the player is a winner. After winning, he/she is given a prize, such as being granted access to a dungeon that the player previously couldn't access. Beside access to new dungeons, the player may be given an Egg by a random Pokémon, or even complimented by a random Pokémon that wants to join the player's Exploration Team.

Dungeons unlocked after drinking something include: [[Lush Prairie]], [[Serenity River]], [[Happy Outlook]], [[Lost Wilderness]], and [[Destiny Tower]].

==Recycle Shop==
The other shop is run by Wynaut and assisted by Wobbuffet. This is where the player can hand in undesired items for new items or [[Prize Ticket]]s. Prize Tickets are coupons that he/she trade four items for. Certain items are not available for trade-in, such as [[Geo Pebble]]s, [[Iron Thorn]]s, and [[Silver Spike]]s. However, the lookalike items [[Gone Pebble]] and [[Gravelyrock]] are available for trade-in. After getting the ticket, he/she has the option to exchange it right at that moment or later. If it is exchanged, the player gets a choice of red, blue or yellow. Wobbuffet then enters the ticket in a lottery that may or may not give the player items. The player can get a small win, a normal win, a big win (which gets Pokémon on the player's team excited), or a loss.

To get a Silver Ticket, which offers better quality items, the player must earn Silver Rank and Spinda must have announced Project P. Silver Tickets require 6 items to be traded in.

Gold Tickets are also available, once the player has reached Gold Rank. Rarer, more valuable items than those obtainable through a Silver Ticket are available, mainly [[TM]]s, and require 8 items to be traded in.

Prism Tickets are the best tickets available, and require the Hyper Rank. Once again, most of the prizes are TMs. Prism Tickets require 10 items to be traded in. Some Prism Ticket big win prizes include [[Life Seed]]s, [[Sitrus Berry|Sitrus Berries]], and [[Friend Bow]]s.

===Special offers===
Occasionally, the player will be told that a new item is being offered for a limited time only. These items are {{DL|Health drink|Protein}}s, {{DL|Health drink|Iron}}s, {{DL|Health drink|Calcium}}s, {{DL|Health drink|Zinc}}s, [[Link Box]]es, [[Curve Band]]s, [[Life Seed]]s, [[Joy Seed]]s etc.

==Project P==
Project P is an idea that Spinda came up with. After the first few or so days, Spinda will announce it to the crowd of Pokémon at the café and claim that the more items recycled will help exploring and finding treasures. When treasure/a new area is discovered, Wynaut will tell the player the next time he/she talks to him.

The crowd of Pokémon are merely customers at the tables in the café. In the crowd of Pokémon are team members ({{p|Chimecho}} will give the player the option to let them stay there or to wait at the watering hole after exiting the café the first time, though saying "No" will result in her asking again until the player says "Yes".), and there are also Pokémon that require help on a few things and gives the player a mission to do.

::True, I also think Dento shouldn't be there until it's confirmed he will appear. Speculation and all.. Ive edited it --[[User:S2daam|samm -- ]] 20:50, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

::::: she is seen looking up at the storm clouds caused by Zekrom. I'd say thats confirmed that she's in this episode then. [[User:shokuwarrior|shokuwarrior]] 13:03, 9 September 2010 (GMT)

== Zekrom Debut ==

It says that Zekrom will debut in the episode. But the title says "Zekrom's '''Shadow'''". Shadow. That doesn't neccesarily mean that it will appear. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 02:00, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe the user who posted that was complaining about Pikachu being in the series. I think he was pointing out that something bad had happened to Pikachu every time Ash visited a new region. (Getting sick, getting lost, etc.)--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:27, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

== Just Updated the Synopsis ==

But it's still pretty bad. I hope someone else would work on it. ([[User:Holonboy|Holonboy]] 00:34, 26 October 2010 (UTC))

== Age trivia ==

It says in the trivia about the anniversary of Ash and Pikachu. Judging from that its safe to say Ash has had at least two birthdays: First was around the time of the Indigo League as he got his Earth Badge exactly 1year after starting his journey according to the narration. Second would be the Anniversary of him and Pikachu. Just thought you lot should know. --[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 02:51, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

:Actually make that 3 birthdays by the episode Pikachu and Pichu. According to his page his date of birth was 10years 10months and 10days before his journey started. So by the time he competed in the Indigo League he would have had 2 birthdays: one being two months after the start of his journey. The second about the time the Indigo League tournament started/ended. --[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 02:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

:: I hope you don't mind me saying this, but it is possible that a year hasn't passed at all. Technically, a year is the amount of time in which the planet takes to revolve the Sun.

== Anime physics ==

[[Trip]]'s {{TP|Trip|Snivy|Janovy}} was able to defeat Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} without any problems despite Pikachu being in a higher level. The battle that happened can be a concept of anime physics as the levels of Pokémon have been ignored. For example, a Lv. 10 Tentacool defeating a Lv. 60 Gible without any problems fits the situation. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 19:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

::When I mentioned about Pikachu being at a higher level, I was referring to the fact that it has been trained for a very long time compared to Snivy being recently obtained and yet, Snivy was able to receive its first win easily.

::: Here's something that Nurse Joy said in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'': Sometimes speed and power can overcome even the most experienced Pokémon. Not to mention Pikachu wasn't right at the time. It was caught off guard is what happened. And this isn't even the first time this has happened to Pikachu. Remember when it battled Paul's Elekid? I'm sure that wasn't as experienced as Pikachu and yet the battle ended in a draw. The anime likes to make Ash lose to a new rival as a plot device. It's as simple as that. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Not only Pikachu was caught off guard, it was in horrible condition as it was starting to get very tired, giving Snivy room to attack. The anime increases the suspense every time Ash loses to the new rival even making the league battle between them very intense, not only a plot device was given.

== guidebook language ==

I put an error on the page about the fact that Ash's (or Oak's) Unova guidebook is in Japanese, but it was [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=BW001&action=historysubmit&diff=1356968&oldid=1356965 quickly reverted]. I uploaded a picture of the guidebook in question: [[a:File:UnovaGuidebookDub.png]]. That's not English, surely!! I don't know a lot of Japanese, but the characters look similar to Japanese to me?

== Starter Pokémon ==

Not sure, but was this the first time the term "starter Pokémon" was used officially? At least in the anime? From what I can remember, starter Pokémon was mainly a fanon term. In the anime, I only seem to remember them being called "first Pokémon" or "partner Pokémon", but not starter Pokémon. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Beta episode ==

I was watching the preview of BW001 in the final episode of Diamond and Pearl and I noticed that the battle of Trip and Ash happens differently from episode itself.

For example, both fighting in different locations in the episode they fight in a normal kind of forest is that the preview was on location in the city.
It deserves to be mentioned somewhere?

One example:

A remixed version of the music from Accumula Town (when the plane lands in Unova) and the music from Routes 6, 7, 8 and 9 (on their way to Juniper's lab) is used (in the English dub at least). I don't know what other music pieces are used and whether this is worth mentioning in the Trivia. It seems stuff like this has been mentioned in previous episodes, for example, in DP001.

== Name ==

The same post that told us these names on 2ch, said Pokabu is the ひぶたポケモン (Fire Pig Pokémon).
This name may come from ぽかぽか (pokapoka), which means "warmth throughout your body", and 豚 (buta), which means Pig.--[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 01:07, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Pokabu: "Pokabu is a pig-like Pokémon, primarily orange in coloration with the additional colors of black, pink, and yellow on various portions of its body. It has large, ovular eyes, an archetypically piglike ruddy-pink nose, and a thick stripe of yellow over its snout. Much of its face has black coloration, and its ears, long and oblong, are positioned closely together on the top of its head. Pokabu has short legs, with the extremities of its forefeet being black in coloration. There is a band of black on its lower back and rear, from which extends its coiled tail, topped with a ruddy-red bauble-like adornment." Hopefully this helps. Also, I was not sure if its extremities---farthermost portions of its limbs--- should be called hooves or paws, so I left it at "extremities". [[User:Steph|Steph]] 21:01, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

== Pokabu→Hihidaruma? ==

I know this is just major speculation on my part, but don't Pokabu and Hihidaruma look alike? Their types are even the same. Also, in the leaked anime art that was proven real, they have evolution of Tsutarja and Mijumaru, but not Pokabu. So it might be an evolution, but it also might not. And don't say that there is no proof of it. That I know, and there's no proff that it's not. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 18:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

== About its National number ==

Yes. We know. {{p|Victini}} is #000 in the Isshu dex. This means nothing right now about its National number. Think of it this way: they put Victini at #000 so that you'd not know right off the bat getting it how many other Pokémon there are to find, especially given that it's gonna be an early event, like Manaphy. If you got Mew just after you got your starter in RBY, you'd know there's 151 Pokémon in Kanto. Same with Celebi in GSC, Deoxys in RSE, and so on. This is a failsafe to make Pokémon feel less like "let's see how many they added" and more like "oh, there's so many of these things, I wonder what they all are...". Sure, futile anyway, given that we'll likely have access to the games and have figured out everything by the day after it comes out... but still. An admirable solution to that huge-empty-Pokédex problem we've had since Gen I.

Pokabu, until further notice, is staying at #497. We cannot assume anything different than it being fourth after Arceus, just as Cyndaquil is fourth after Mew, Torchic is fourth after Celebi, and Chimchar is fourth after Deoxys.

Please look into these ideas and help me:
Snivy's decided snake of origin is listed as the Green Vine Snake which is native to the South and Central Americas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Vine_Snake

Tepig's name sounds like Tapir which is a browsing mammal similar to a pig. There is a South American Tapir. Tepig's coloring is similar to the Asian Malayan Tapir, though I realize this may be coincidence as Asia is not in South America. ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_American_Tapir
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayan_Tapir

Oshawott may be based on the Marine Otter if my theory is correct; not the Sea Otter. The Marine Otter is native to South American shores and is the most marine of all South American otter types. Its name also sounds ''an awful lot'' like "Ocelot" (native to South/Central Americas), which I found odd because it is obviously based on the otter. But Wikipedia states that the Marine Otter's colloquial nickname is "Gato Marino" which means "marine cat". Coincidence? I think Oshanott!

==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Pokabu: "Pokabu is a pig-like Pokémon, primarily orange in coloration with the additional colors of black, pink, and yellow on various portions of its body. It has large, ovular eyes, an archetypically piglike ruddy-pink nose, and a thick stripe of yellow over its snout. Much of its face has black coloration, and its ears, long and oblong, are positioned closely together on the top of its head. Pokabu has short legs, with the extremities of its forefeet being black in coloration. There is a band of black on its lower back and rear, from which extends its coiled tail, topped with a ruddy-red bauble-like adornment." Hopefully this helps. Also, I was not sure if its extremities---farthermost portions of its limbs--- should be called hooves or paws, so I left it at "extremities". [[User:Steph|Steph]] 21:01, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

== Pokabu→Hihidaruma? ==

I know this is just major speculation on my part, but don't Pokabu and Hihidaruma look alike? Their types are even the same. Also, in the leaked anime art that was proven real, they have evolution of Tsutarja and Mijumaru, but not Pokabu. So it might be an evolution, but it also might not. And don't say that there is no proof of it. That I know, and there's no proff that it's not. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 18:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

== About its National number ==

Yes. We know. {{p|Victini}} is #000 in the Isshu dex. This means nothing right now about its National number. Think of it this way: they put Victini at #000 so that you'd not know right off the bat getting it how many other Pokémon there are to find, especially given that it's gonna be an early event, like Manaphy. If you got Mew just after you got your starter in RBY, you'd know there's 151 Pokémon in Kanto. Same with Celebi in GSC, Deoxys in RSE, and so on. This is a failsafe to make Pokémon feel less like "let's see how many they added" and more like "oh, there's so many of these things, I wonder what they all are...". Sure, futile anyway, given that we'll likely have access to the games and have figured out everything by the day after it comes out... but still. An admirable solution to that huge-empty-Pokédex problem we've had since Gen I.

Pokabu, until further notice, is staying at #497. We cannot assume anything different than it being fourth after Arceus, just as Cyndaquil is fourth after Mew, Torchic is fourth after Celebi, and Chimchar is fourth after Deoxys.

Please look into these ideas and help me:
Snivy's decided snake of origin is listed as the Green Vine Snake which is native to the South and Central Americas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Vine_Snake

Tepig's name sounds like Tapir which is a browsing mammal similar to a pig. There is a South American Tapir. Tepig's coloring is similar to the Asian Malayan Tapir, though I realize this may be coincidence as Asia is not in South America. ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_American_Tapir
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayan_Tapir

Oshawott may be based on the Marine Otter if my theory is correct; not the Sea Otter. The Marine Otter is native to South American shores and is the most marine of all South American otter types. Its name also sounds ''an awful lot'' like "Ocelot" (native to South/Central Americas), which I found odd because it is obviously based on the otter. But Wikipedia states that the Marine Otter's colloquial nickname is "Gato Marino" which means "marine cat". Coincidence? I think Oshanott!

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
On the second day of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] all of the students go to a lake to study {{type|Water}} Pokémon, As {{Ash}} and [[Angie]] are walking by the lake they find two boats and use one to explore the far side of the lake, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} follow using the other boat. After Ash and Angie quarrel over what Pokémon to choose they stumble across a {{p|Dewgong}} and a {{p|Sealeo}}, Ash decides on the Dewgong while Angie chooses to draw Sealeo, but they quarrel again when both Sealeo and Dewgong moves the opposite direction causing Ash and Angie to bump into each other. Meanwhile Dawn chooses a {{p|Gorebyss}} and Brock chooses to draw a {{p|Chinchou}}. Ash decides to get up close to the Pokémon to make the research better, they then return to the bank to finish drawing their Pokémon.

As the group is talking a white flash comes from across the lake and {{p|Shinx}} becomes hypnotized and walks off. After a few minutes the group realizes that Shinx is missing and they start looking for it. When the light flashes again and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} becomes hypnotized but Dawn stops Piplup from wandering off, [[Conway]] then appears and tells a legend about a light that attracts Pokémon. The group decides to go and investigate the light and they find a cave, and in the cave is a {{p|Lumineon}} whom the light off its tail fin hypnotizes Pokémon and draws them in. Jessilinda finds out about the Lumineon and decides to catch it, but is stopped by Conway's Slowking. After Conway defeated Jessilinda, Brock discovers that the Lumineon had been eating some algae.

When the group returned to the class they did a report on Lumineon and said that Lumineon had been eating algae, and although they got a perfect score, [[Professor Rowan]] deducted several points because they left the lake without permission.

==Trivia==

* This is the only episode in the entire Summer School arc where [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] made its appearance. It is also the only episode of the arc where any of Ash's Pokémon (besides {{AP|Pikachu}}) appears.
* The dub's title is a reference to the phrase, "up close and personal".
* Several rare Pokémon can be seen in the wild during this episode.
* Ash makes a sketch of a Dewgong, the first main character to do so besides Tracy.
** Another sketch is made right after, probably by Brock.

===Errors===
* When Piplup was hypnotized by the light, Dawn's belly button disappears.
* When Dawn activates her Pokédex, it is interrupted by Conway. Since it's a machine, it should have worked describing Gorebyss at the same time as Conway, instead of not working at all.
** The same happens when Dawn tries to get a reading about Lumineon.
* When Shinx appeared in the cave, its eyes were normal, not blacked out like before.

==Synopsis==
The episode opens up with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walking down {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}. A {{p|Cleffa}} pops out of a bush and {{an|Dawn}} checks it on her [[Pokédex]]. {{an|Monica}} comes from behind a tree, glad that she found Cleffa. {{an|Brock}} becomes infatuated with her and the gang walks up to them. Monica tells Ash and friends that [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion is close to where they are and the gang begin to introduce themselves. Brock does his regular flirting and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} stabs Brock from behind with {{m|Poison Jab}}. Lightning flashes and it begins to rain. The gang then hurry to the mansion.

Mr. Backlot welcomes the group and Monica brings out a cart with [[Poffin]]s on it. Monica calls the Pokémon and {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and an {{p|Azurill}} come down. The Pokémon gather around the bowls of Poffin and the group decide to let all their Pokémon out.

{{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} are eating their Poffins and a {{p|Swinub}} comes running and eats the Igglybuff, Pichu, Cleffa, and Azurill's Poffin, then runs over to Dawn's Pokémon Poffins. The Pokémon are speechless as they watch the Swinub eat their food and Mr. Backlot orders Monica to get Swinub's bowl. After Swinub is done, Dawn's Pokémon are about to attack the Swinub until {{AP|Pikachu}} stops them. Monica sets down a huge bowl of Poffin and Swinub eats them quickly as Ash and Brock let out a breath of relief. Swinub finishes its meal and lays down. Dawn walks up to eat and says how cute it is.

{{TRT}} are spying on the mansion thinking of a new way to steal Pokémon.

Then, the group are sitting at a table and Monica ask Dawn if she would like some tea. Now the group are in the kitchen, about to make Poffins. Monica sets down [[Berry|Berries]] and the group becomes excited about making Poffins. Monica instructs Ash and the group on their stirring and Dawn's [[Pokétch]] goes off telling her time is up. A plate of Dawn's Poffins are set on the table and Piplup is ready to dig into them. Swinub smells them and rushes towards the plate. Swinub starts eating them and Piplup goes devastated. Dawn grabs the plate stopping Swinub from eating them all. Ash sets his Poffins on the counter but Swinub decides not to eat them since they smell bad. Ash tastes one of his Poffins and falls to the ground with his face blue as if he's been poisoned. Dawn sets down the plate to let Swinub eat the rest and Piplup complains. Dawn reassures it that she'll make some more and Piplup bounces in joy.

The next morning, the group is out in the [[Trophy Garden]] and the Pokémon are playing with each other. Dawn comes out with Poffins and Swinub begins to run towards them. Swinub jumps in the air and lands in front of the bowl about to eat the Poffins but Dawn sets down a huge bowl of Poffins just for Swinub. Dawn yawns from sleepiness and the ground collapses. All the Pokémon fall into a hole and Team Rocket fly out of it in their new machine performing their motto. Monica tells Mr. Backlot that all the Berries are gone and the Pokémon beg for help. As Team Rocket is about to fly off, Ash and Dawn jump on the machine but Ash falls down. Dawn climbs up to the dome where the Pokémon are being held and descends in the machine. Team Rocket then smoke the area and fly off.

Dawn tries to find a way to let the Pokémon free and finds a lever. She pulls it and the dome disappears. Swinub smells some Berries and uses {{m|Take Down}} to smash through the wall. Dawn follows it and then fall out of the machine through the floor. Dawn grabs Swinub as they fall and land on a bush. Team Rocket fly off and Swinub smells something. Monica is driving in the plains and speeds through the forest. Dawn follows Swinub only for it to have just found Berries. Swinub smells something and runs and uses Take Down on a tree. Apples fall and Swinub eats them. Dawn yells in disappointment and Swinub gives Dawn an apple. Piplup's face projects around the round object and tears start to form in Dawn's eye as she may never see Piplup or her Pokémon again. Swinub sees this and tries to pick up Team Rocket's scent. It runs off somewhere and Dawn follows it.

Team Rocket is eating and Swinub runs and uses Take Down on the machine. They all fall and a pile of food lands in front of Swinub. Swinub begins to eat it and Dawn confronts Team Rocket. [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}} but it bites him on the head. [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and it uses {{m|Steel Wing}} while Carnivine uses {{m|Bite}}. Swinub jumps and uses {{m|Ice Shard}}. The attack freezes Yanmega and Carnivine and they fall back towards Jessie and James. Dawn tells Swinub to use Take Down and it breaks through the machine letting the Pokémon free. The Pokémon run towards Dawn and Ash and the group arrive. Carnivine uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Yanmega uses {{m|SonicBoom}}. Swinub uses Ice Shard and collides with the attacks. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The attacks hit Yanmega and Carnivine and they fall back towards Team Rocket blasting off. Dawn thanks Swinub for its help and Swinub welcomes her. It then sees a pile of food and runs towards it. Dawn watches Swinub as it's eating and walks up to it. Dawn ask Swinub if it would like to go with her, surprising Ash and the group. Swinub blushes before saying Yes and Dawn takes out a [[Poké Ball]]. She hits it against Swinub and catches it. Dawn does her pose confirming she's caught Swinub. Dawn tells the rest of the Pokémon they have a new friend and the Pokémon cheer.

Back at Mr. Backlot's mansion, Ash and the group are about to head off. Monica tells Dawn that the next Contest is in [[Celestic Town]] and Dawn seems ready for it. Dawn thanks Monica and the group says their goodbyes before leaving. Brock makes one last move on Monica but Croagunk stabs him from behind again. The group wave goodbye and head off onto the next destination.

==Trivia==
* Details of this episode were made known in [[K-Zone]], a children's magazine, before any official Japanese episode listing.
* Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of this episode featured a special trailer for ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
* Pokettari Monsutari, music from ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' were used as background music.
* [[Lisa Ortiz]] returns to the series to voice {{an|Monica}} (having previously left with the majority of the voice actors when the dub switched from [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] to {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}}).
* This is the first time Dawn captures a Pokémon since {{AP|Buizel}}, exactly 50 episodes ago.
* During the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} each have owned a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}; however, this episode, after Dawn captured {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}}, and the next episode, before {{TP|Ash|Gligar}} evolved, are the only times in the series in which all three have a Generation II Pokémon with them, Ash with Gligar, Dawn with Swinub, and Brock with {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}.
* The fact that it is raining when Ash and {{Ashfr}} arrive at Backlot's mansion may be a reference to the fact that it always rains on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}'s southern leg, just south of the mansion in the games.
* In the [[Dub|English dub]], [[James]] says "Maybe striking a famous dance pose might give you a clue". This may be a reference to {{wp|John Travolta}}'s classic dance move.
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Hungry for the Good Life! motto|variation}} of their motto.
* This is the first episode to have Croagunk not pulling Brock away from the scene after using Poison Jab.
** Also, Croagunk's laughter is different from the past episodes.
* This episode features a total of six Baby Pokémon, namely Cleffa, Igglybuff, Azurill, Pichu, Happiny and Mime Jr.

===Errors===
[[File:DP084 error.png|thumb|200px|right|The error in color|thumb]]
* After getting out of Team Rocket's machine, the color of {{AP|Buizel}}'s collar is the same as the shade of yellow of some of the other Pokémon (most notably on {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and itself).
* In the Latin America dub, like in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', Monica calls Dawn "{{an|May}}".

==Evolving Dual traits==
Some pokemon that cant be caught in the wild and must be evolved have a dual nature that is not shared with the previous generation, how do you get their abilities then?
:Breeding LOL '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
::If the ability is a new one (introduced in gen IV) the pokemon has a 50% chance to change the ability upon evolving, I think [[User:Shiny Lanturn|Shiny Lanturn]] 10:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Nopes. It will remain with its ability. For example if you have a Rhydon with Lighningrod and it evolves, the Rhyperior will continue having Lightningrod as ability. But if the Rhydon had Rock Head, then as Rhyperior it will have Solid Rock. That's the way it works. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:::: What I meant is that if you transfer Nidorino with point point and evolve it, it has a 50% chance of getting rivalry. The Rhyperior situation doesn't fly because the line already had two abilities : Lightning Rod and Rock head, Rock head becomes solid rock upon evolving. Solid rock isn't 'added' it replaces an existing one. [[User:Shiny Lanturn|Shiny Lanturn]] 14:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::Nopes, Nidorino already has Rivalry and even Nidoran♂ has it. If you want a Nidoking with Rivalry you'll have to breed it and get a Nidoran♂ with it already. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 16:28, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::Rivalry didn't exist in generation 3. As such, a Nidorino that was migrated does have a 50% chance of their ability changing upon evolving. I know this is old, but it was driving me mad --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 02:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Also, the apparent 50% chance of picking one ability or the other upon evolution appears to be determined at trade or import. I have a zigzagoon with pickup which I imported to Diamond from Sapphire, then traded to my current Soul Silver. I have a savegame with it at lvl 19 on the verge of evolution, in order to reset the game if it evolves with gluttony (I want pickup). EVERY TIME I level it up it evolves with gluttony, it's been 9 times now. It's definitely not 50/50 upon evolution. -[[User:DropShock|DropShock]] 17:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::It's 50/50 if you haven't found out yet, but it'll always turn out the same. The ability is set as nr1 or nr2 from the moment you obtain it. If in genVI the nr2 ability is suddenly different than genIII (where it was the same as nr1 in such cases), the ability will correct after evolution if that's the case or stay if your poke has nr1.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 18:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

==Alphabet==
Shouldn't these be in alphabetical order? -[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

Logic doesn't prevail, ket. They're stored this way in every other database, and we're following along. Heh. We'll work up a feature to make finding each trait easier, though, probably. ~[[User:Evkl|evkl]]

Apparently logic '''does''' prevail! Aha, I win! -[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

All of the ability articles listed on this article are classified as stubs. But is there really anything more to say on all of them? Am I forgetting some major way in which these articles could be expanded? Or can we go through and pull out all those stub tags? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 12:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

:Some real description of the ability would be good. The current text is just pulled from the game - doesn't have much detail, for example, {{a|Pickup}} could do with an explanation of just what ''very rare, rare, uncommon, common'' etc. mean in terms of percentages. {{a|Blaze}} ought to explain what ''up'' and ''pinch'' specifically mean. And so on. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 13:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

==Help needed==

Hey, do someone knows someone that can get the game code so we can add the numbers to G IV abilities? [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 04:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Also, I'm thinking of doing a template, should I add them in numerical order or by funtionality? (Raises something, decreases something, affected by weather, affects weather, etc...)?
:I think we should keep the functionality things to categories, which I've only done for the weather ones. Numerically listed or alphabetically listed in a template is good, though. And you might be able to extract them by crossreferencing one of Zhen Lin's subpages on which Pokémon has which ability with a source that shows the names for the specific abilities a Pokémon has, since I dunno any other source that gives number and name at the same time. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 09:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
:: The information on [http://no3.pic.bz/document/ability.html this page] is sorted in numerical order. Also, there is no need for a template due to the sheer size of it. The region and legendary Pokémon templates are bad enough. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon Information ==

Should there be a Mystery Dungeon section on abilities articles? A lot of abilities work different than they do on main games (Illuminate makes a wild pokemon appears every time the pokemon with Illuminate is hit, for example) and I think articles should note that.
:Firstly, fixed the title typo in this section. Secondly, I think this is a big consistency issue. Some pages have a Mystery Dungeon section, while others simply have a paragraph "In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, ..." --[[User:Cedrickc|Cedrickc]] ([[User talk:Cedrickc|talk]]) 17:44, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

== Anime information ==

Should we mention on the ability articles when they were used in the anime just like we have for moves? Maybe even provide pictures? That would expand them a little. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

== Layout ==
I don't like the layout of some abilities eg. Blaze. Because the pokemon list goes DOWN not ACROSS.--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
*Why shouldn't it? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== Abilites Outside of battle ==

I think it'd be good if this article mentioned which abilities have effects outside of battle. Its a pain going through each one trying to find out which abilities do what. --[[User:Bulbafreak9000|Bulbafreak9000]] 21:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
:[[:Category:Abilities by effect|Knock yourself out.]] — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

== Hidden Abilities? ==

There's a good deal of information on Hidden Abilities here, such as which Pokemon have which Hidden Abilities, but I haven't been able to find any information on what a Hidden Ability is or does anywhere, either on the wiki or via Google. I have a couple of hypotheses, but I don't have either of the Generation V games, and I'm not certain they exist in Gen IV. I also don't care to throw around wild conjecture because that's how rumors get started. If this information can be found, I think we should add it. [[User:VoidPointer|VoidPointer]] 01:36, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
:They are exclusive to Gen V games. They are abilities that a Pokémon can legitimately have in-game, but are not available on normal wild Pokémon.

Could we use a template for Anime appearances for Abilities, like we have for the moves? Here is Lightningrod as an example:

{{moveanime|type=electric|gen=The user draws in Electric attacks.|image1={{redlink|a:File:Lightningrod rhydon.png}}|image1p=Rhydon}}
{{movep|type=electric|ms=112|pkmn=Rhydon|method=When Rhydon's opponent uses an electric attack, the attack changes direction and hits Rhydon's horn instead.}}
{{movebtm|type=electric|user=Rhydon (Pokémon)|user1=H Block Trainer's Rhydon|startcode=DP050|startname=Tag! We're it...!|notes=Debut}}

It just looks a lot cleaner and more consistant in my opinion. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 11:47, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

== Numbers are off ==

The numbers for the amount of Pokémon with single and dual abilities still add up to 493, meaning they haven't been changed for Generation V [[User:FrankTheTank000|FrankTheTank000]] 20:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
:By the count we currently have in the article, 292 Pokémon have a single ability, therefore 357 Pokémon have a double ability. (We should really automate that with categories and the [[Template:PokémonInfobox|PokémonInfobox]] *cough* {{u|Werdnae}} *cough* .) This subtraction ''almost'' matches the data in the dual ability column; the total sum of the column is 715 but it should be 714. Does anyone have any idea why this number is inaccurate? I.e. is there some gimmick I've forgotten which lets a Pokémon have three non-DW abilities (excluding Basculin; I checked that already) or has the user who entered the data made a typo somewhere? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:25, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
::Given there's a parameter for the number of abilities, it would be simple to add. However I don't know what to do for Shaymin and Giratina (abilityn=alt).

:::And this page counts Giratina as dual abilites and Shaymin as having dual abilities for Natural Cure. Either wasn't included at all or was counted as single and the numbers hadn't been updated for Serene Grace.

==Wild Hidden Abilities==
"These Abilities are not found on Pokémon found randomly in the wild"
This no longer applies, apparently!
I was just wandering around the Desert Resort in Pokémon White 2 and encountered a wild Darmanitan. It was overlevelled (35) and when it appeared, it was complimented by a flash of purple diamonds. The game text said "A wild Darmanitan appeared!?". It had Zen Mode, its hidden ability. When I caught it, before it was sent to the PC, the game said something like "It seems the wild Darmanitan was different from regular Pokémon!" So yeah, it seems in BW2 there's a slight chance of a wild encounter with Pokémon with Hidden Abilities. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:06, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

: Yes; take the Ability [[Chlorophyll]], for example. Ten Pokémon have this ability as the only possible ability they can have excluding Hidden Abilities (example: {{p|Oddish}}), while nineteen Pokémon have this ability as one of two possible abilities (example: {{p|Tangela}}), and six Pokémon have this ability as their Hidden Ability (example: {{p|Bulbasaur}}).

[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 00:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Although this is so far considered a speculation, It could also be based off the comic superhero, Batman, having the Dark-typing, intimidating features, and back fur that resembles not just a fur coat, but also a cape. According to what we know so far about it's personality, it can be safe to say it fights for good. {{unsigned|AuraShaman00002}}

== No English name ==
The [[:Category:Pokémon with unknown English names|no English names]] category needs to be added because Goronda was just revealed in a japanese Coro Coro magazine and no English source says it's going to be Goronda, in fact it contradicts with the rumored name of "Pangoro" which was started by the same guy who leaked the entire Gen V Pokédex and the Fairy Type. Since we need to wait and not wait for some guy who's predictions come true, we'll need to add the Pokémon without english names category.

== Appearance? ==

Besides being a giant panda, Pangoro also seems to take a bit of visual inspiration from the typical delinquent stock character you see in a lot of anime and manga- the fur on its back makes it look like it's wearing an overly long coat, and the bamboo in its mouth kind of looks like a toothpick. All it needs is a ridiculous pompadour, and it'd be all set.
