==Is this trivia worthy?==

Is it worth noting that Froakie is Ash's first Pokémon that was originally own by another trainer before being released that is not a Fire-type? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 13:40, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

==Only Starter==
Is it notable that this is Ash's only Kalos starter? The series is really new, so he might get another one. It's unlikely for two main characters to have the same Pokémon, but May and Ash both have Bulbasaur. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 21:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
: Not quite sure; Sceptile was Ash's only Hoenn starter, but that face isn't mentioned, so I don't think we should add it here. '''[[User:ZappaOMati|Zappa]][[Special:Contributions/ZappaOMati|O]][[User talk:ZappaOMati|Mati]]''' 15:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I've watched it lol. Ash commanded him to use it but he never actually used the whole attack. Not the way Frogadier or Pikachu use it at least. He started to learn in it this episode, he hasn't learned it fully yet.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 11:23, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

== froakie IS male ==

In the episode where ash and friends visit a kindagarten, sylveon uses attract on froakie. Later, meowth falls in love with sylveon. Therefore sylveon is female, meaning froakie must be male. {{unsigned|Lu-igi board}}
:That's no plausible evidence. We're not (and will never be) 100% sure on that particular Sylveon's gender, ''even if'' Meowth fell in love with it. We don't add genders on assumption. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 11:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
::But Meowth is obviously a male, and Attract ''only'' works on the opposite gender, therefore Sylveon MUST be female and Froakie MUST be male. --[[User:SuperPikaBros|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaBros|Pika]][[Special:Contributions/SuperPikaBros|Bros]] 14:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

::::Meowth still fell in love with the Sylveon, though, Attract or not. That's gotta mean Sylveon's female, and since the obviously female Sylveon's Attract worked on Froakie, there you go. Or is there a reason it's not that simple? Because I have a feeling that if it was that simple, we wouldn't be discussing this. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.

:::::Meowth fell in love with a male Purrloin back in BW044, so we can't assume that Sylveon is female. Like the aforementioned Purrloin, it could be male for all we know. [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 14:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Why does the rules for confirming gender have to be so strict? º_º' Like, why can't we just figure gender out by looking at the behavior of the Pokémon?

:::::::::Actually in some cases we can. DuArt has confirmed numerous times that they have Pokémon voices universal. So in Snivy's case, Michele Knotz ''always'' is the voice of female Snivy, and so on. However, Froakie is an unconfirmed case, so the same can't apply here until there's more confirmation.

== When Froakie evolves... ==
Can someone put in the trivia section that Frogadier is Ash's first Water-type starter Pokémon to evolve? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 03:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

== Frogadier's moves ==

With the new release of [[XY052]], Frogadier has learned Aerial Ace, and so far that was only move shown (possibly Cut as well, but I'm not sure about that one), so I changed it to only Aerial Ace being the recent move, however a user, JasonL changed it to Water Pulse, Bubble and Cut also being recent, since a Pokémon can only know four moves, I only put down Aerial Ace as recent since we cannot speculate on the other 3 moves kept until we see them in a episode (I wasn't sure what he meant by "Just think of the moves as so far" in his/her edit summary). Can anyone else confirm if I'm right or wrong since I don't want to start an edit war S 16:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC) - StephenWalker97

: Before Evolution, Froakie only used Water Pulse, Cut and Double Team so far, but didn't use Bubble. After it evolved it used Cut and that other move I'm not sure if its Aerial Ace or something else.--JasonL 23:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

:: Not related to JasonL's post (and put :, ::, ::: when you add a new edit/discussion of text), but to those who keep adding Water Pulse and Double Team as recent, don't, even if its confirmed by other sources e.g. CoroCoro in a episode preview, you don't add it as recent until the episode in which Frogadier uses the new move airs. [[User:StephenWalker97|StephenWalker97]] ([[User talk:StephenWalker97|talk]]) 17:26, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm not involved, but...just wondering. If it's already known in the Japanese dub that, let's say, in [[XY055]] Frogadier uses Water Pulse (I'm not saying it does, I'm just saying let's assume it), why are we not putting that in now? Is it just something to do with waiting for the English dub to air before updating the article? The reason I ask is because articles on the various Pokémon are already updated based on happenings in episodes not aired in English; see [[Ash's Goomy]] for example. (And kind of a spoiler now.) So if we're trying to prevent spoilers, then Japanese airings should not update in here at all. Otherw3ise it's a double standard.

:::If I have the reasoning wrong, please enlighten me. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

One of our thesis is right Frogadier did use Water Pulse, Double Team, Cut and Aerial Ace.--JasonL 15:15, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== Frogadier's New Move ==

Did Frogadier learned Aerial Ace? It's hard to tell because I saw one of its arms glow blue and it did some kicks. And I know it used Cut.--JasonL 23:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

== Greninja ==

Hey guys, it's looking like Frogadier is gonna be evolving into Greninja sometime soon: [http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/surprise-2/cabinet/16cl/16cl-0010.jpg link][[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 03:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

:You might be right althought Frogadier's evolution into Greninja might be little bit late
:Thanks to Data broadcast we know he won't evolve not before 93 episode, after that sure he might.
:Cool pic where you get it {{unsigned|Makarov5}}

::Well, that would be a spoiler if I've ever seen one. We had this with Fletchinder's evolution, as well, I think. At least, I think it was Fletchinder; it evolved just before the movie. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

== Conflicting Perspective in Regards to Evolution ==

I remember that it was said that changes to articles of Pokemon evolving were "protected" and not changed to prevent speculation from getting rampant. But I don't see how its considered speculation when official sources straight out say that a main character's Pokemon is going to evolve. Like here, Frogadier is evolving into Greninja, there's no speculation here, it's been 110% confirmed by official sources. But then I thought about something else, is the actual reason why these type of articles remain the same until the evolution occurs because the evolution hasn't actually happened yet? I feel as if that makes more sense than because it doesn't change because it's cracking down on speculation that articles remain they way they are until the actual episode airs. I just realized now, how weird it is, to say that an article is protected because of speculation crackdown rather than maintaining the current (as of now) status of said Pokemon. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 17:30, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
:When you consider that the evolution is at an unspecified future time and nothing is known about the situation or the changes in personality, it would all be speculation. The only information (using Frogadier/Greninja as an example) that we know for a fact right now is that the evolution will occur in the future and that even further in the future it can take on a new form. So with that limited information, it is pretty pointless to post that an evolution will occur in the future, as it is going to be a very small amount of information that is very likely to provoke speculation (which it seems to have in the past). Of course I'm a newer member here, and this is just my view of it from glancing around, but it makes sense to call it speculation to me.[[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 17:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
::Information regarding things like evolution is not added to Bulbapedia's anime-related articles until it actually happens. I don't really have an answer for the speculation part though.

:::I believe ChE clarinetist pretty much hit the nail on the head. When protecting articles, Administrators are given a drop down menu with a few general pre-written reasons that you can click on when protecting because it's easier/quicker when protecting numerous articles, "speculation crackdown" is one of them. So, while we do know that the evolution is confirmed, there's a lot about it that we don't know either.

== Egg ==

Since the latest episode showed Frogadier's Egg, shouldn't this be added into the infobox by someone who can still edit the page? Obviously with an "unknown amount of episodes" duration.

::No, not really. It appears momentarily and was briefly discussed at the end by the ninjas, but I don't think it was anything important. I just think it should have its own section since this is the first time anything like it has happened, not to mention specifically exclusive to Ash's Greninja. As it gets more insight during the episodes Greninja transforms, that's when a section should be made. I was just asking beforehand.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 23:55, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

== Greninja "revealed" to have hatched from an egg ==

Okay I think that piece of trivia is pointless. It's been made obvious on multiple occasions that ''all'' Pokémon hatch from eggs even in the anime as evidenced here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_Egg#In_the_anime so every Pokémon Ash has hatched from an egg including all of the starters he has. Not a single Pokémon is an exception and no Pokémon ever will be. Not counting clones obviously because that is a completely different situation.{{unsigned|Flain}}
:I have to agree here. The trivia directly implies that "it is not confirmed that Ash's other starter Pokémon have hatched from an Egg", which is very redundant statement to readers since all normal Pokémon hatch from an Egg. If we're not removing the trivia, at least change it to "Greninja is Ash's first starter Pokémon to have been seen as an Egg." or something. Just because something is technically true doesn't mean it's not notable.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:56, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

:::: Dude it doesn't even matter whether or not eggs were introduced at the time. Okay you know what? How about this: if at any point I show you evidence that that at least one of Ash's Pokémon hatched from an egg or if it's proven in the show than you have to admit that you were wrong about everything and I was right. I think that sounds fair don't you? And I'm just trying to find a way to permanently end this dispute just so you know. {{unsigned|Flain}}
::::: Um, yes it does. It's the exact same reason with the genders, Pokémon [with Gender Differences] caught before Gen VI don't have their genders because Gender Differences weren't a thing when they were caught. Same thing here. One of Ash's '''STARTER''' (not just a Pokémon). Unless they reveal that one of Ash's other '''starter''' Pokémon hatched from an egg, then yes, it's unnotable.

I'm fine with rewording the trivia point, but I think it should be removed from the infobox as it gives the idea that Ash obtained Froakie as an Egg prior to the events of XY001, when he didn't. Every Pokémon was an Egg at some point in time, mentioning it in the infobox is pointless, that parameter should be used to a Pokémon that actually hatched under Ash's care, otherwise it's just stating the obvious. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 14:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}} I'm agreeing with what Mikuri said. We don't really need to say that Froakie hatched from an egg an unknown number of episodes before. Makes it seem like it happened when it was with Ash. Otherwise, we might as well put that in front of all the other 100+ Pokémon bio pages because sure enough, almost everyone else hatched from an egg an unknown number of episodes ago. --[[User:Rikeo|'''リック''']][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|'''EO''']] [[User talk:Rikeo|(メッセージ)]] 17:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:But on Ash's Primeape's and Ash's Krookodile's page it's mentioned in their infobox they had been a Mankey and a Sandile, despite not being Ash's at the time. This is because they have seen as a Mankey and a Sandile. Greninja has been seen as an Egg, so I think it's worth mentioning in the infobox. Also in the infobox of Iris's Axew it's mentioned it has spent an unknown number of episodes in its egg, because it has been explicitly said to have hatched from an egg, just like Greninja. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 18:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::Like Mikuri and Rikeo said, attempting to shoehorn Greninja's Egg form (and also [[Iris's Axew]]) into the "Egg obtained" field is just ''bad''; Iris and Ash plainly never ''had''/"obtained" those Eggs. If you really want that info in the infobox, you probably need to add a new/alternative type of field to the template instead.
::(FWIW) "Hatches in" is also a problematic field to use IMO; ''"Hatches in: prior to [the start of the series]"'' is just nothing but bad. [[James's Victreebel]] also has the same sort of problem with ''"Evolves in: Prior to The Breeding Center Secret"'', and probably others do. In these sort of places, y'all are again trying to shoehorn in flashback info where it plainly wasn't intended and doesn't strictly fit. Those fields are meant for when it happens in the normal course of the show, like [[Ash's Primeape]] or [[Misty's Togetic]]. But, since this perhaps has wider-ranging effects, I'm not going to insist too hard that that practice change or be "fixed" somehow... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:::I agree with this. {{unsigned|Flain}}

== Episodes spent as an Egg ==

The only logical number for "number of episodes Greninja spent as an Egg" is 0. (Given the rest of the infobox at this point, at least.)

The other parameters all count the number of episodes when a Pokemon ''has been seen''.

Froakie was caught in [[XY002]]. It evolved in [[XY052]]. 052 - 002 + 1 = 51 episdoes spent as Froakie, ''that were seen''. No accounting is allowed there for any vague amount of time before Froakie's debut.

So long as that remains the same, the ''only'' logical number for Greninja's time as an Egg is 0.

If, I suppose, you want to change the parameter for time spent as Froakie to allow that Greninja may have spent more than 51 episodes as Froakie (and likewise for every other Pokemon that has ''ever'' evolved since its Trainer captured it or it debuted), I suppose that's fine. But that solution seems rather the worse option to me. Especially since it's almost surely a larger set of Pokemon (i.e., changes required) than "those that were seen in earlier forms in flashbacks".

The infobox should say that Greninja spent 0 episodes as an Egg. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

:By saying that Froakie was in its egg for 0 episodes would mean that the egg was obtained and hatched in the same episode, and we are not sure if that happened. --[[User:Rikeo|'''リック''']][[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|'''EO''']] [[User talk:Rikeo|(メッセージ)]] 23:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::That's faulty logic.
::Firstly, by that logic, since Greninja spent 51 episodes as Froakie, then Froakie must have hatched from its Egg right before XY002. You don't know that at all.
::Secondly, that's also treating its time spent as an Egg differently from its time spent as Froakie. If you only want to count the episodes where it was ''explicitly'' seen for its time as Froakie, you must do the same for its Egg. And when you do that, the only logical answer for its time as an Egg is 0.
::And if someone makes the wrong conclusion as you suggest (especially in a case like this): who cares? There's a difference between what it means and what you think it means, and in this case I don't think the latter necessarily matters. Ultimately at any rate, the worse thing is to treat time-as-an-Egg and time-as-Froakie differently: that is ''purely'' wrong, not just subjectively (and maybe) wrong.

:::I do not understand why we are listing the time as an egg in the infobox in the first place honestly. From my understanding, I thought we've only listed the stages that appeared while under the trainer's possession. For example, on Ash's Noctowl's page, we don't list "this Pokémon spent an unknown amount of episodes as a HootHoot". I understand how the situations are technically different, since the egg was shown in a flashback, but this Pokemon was a Froakie when it first came into Ash's possession, which is what I think should be the start of the listing in the infobox. It's been established by this point in the series that Pokémon come from eggs, just like it's been established that Pokémon evolve to reach higher stages. Just like it's obvious that Ash's Noctowl evolved from Hoothoot that evolved from an egg at some point, I think it's just unnecessarily messy to try to calculate and list the time spent as an egg.

:::::::Once again I don't care how old the comment is. You said "Noctowl may have a been a Hoothoot at one point" but the fact is that Noctowl WAS a Hoothoot before it debuted there is no 'may have' about it. It's one of the things that doesn't need to be proven because it's just plain common sense. You guys need to get that get that through your heads and quit living in denial about this stuff. {{unsigned|Flain}}

== First of Ash's Pokémon To Know An HM Move ==

Is Greninja the first Pokémon that Ash owns to know an HM attack? And if so, is that trivia worthy?[[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 20:49, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
:[[Ash's Torterra]] knows {{m|Rock Climb}}. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 20:51, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

== "Form" versus "Forme" ==

I wanted to get some clarification and feedback on this point, since even the [[List of Pokémon with form differences]] page does not follow its own standards and conflicts with some of the specific Pokémon pages it links to. I was under the impression that a Pokémon that can change its appearance, as well as changing either its ability, type, or stats, on its own will gets "Forme" used to describe it. I know Ash's Greninja requires Ash in order to transform, but that is still able to be controlled, unlike {{p|Castform}} that requires weather, for example. What is the consensus for the word that should be used to describe Ash-Greninja, "form" or "Forme"?

== Ash-Greninja Water Shuriken Form/ Mode pic ==

Can some make and put a Pic of Ash-Greninja when he has his Giant Shuriken on it's back.
I know picture would be when he is in air but that is the closest pic we have in the anime. {{unsigned|Makarov5}}
:Done, the filename is: {{red link|File:Ash-Greninja water shuriken.png}}. I am not sure where to put it, though, because the article currently has one other picture of Ash-Greninja covered in the water veil. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 12:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
::Oh, looks like I was blind, there is already such an image in the infobox. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 12:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

== Water "Fuma" Shuriken? ==

I may have missed something in XY118 or XY119, but when was it referred to as a "Water Fuma Shuriken"? As much as this would make sense, the title of XY122 says "Hatsudou kyodai Mizu Shuriken!", or Unleash (hatsudou) the Giant Water Shuriken (kyodai Mizu Shuriken). If there's a source for this then so be it, but I just wanna make sure because it seems like if Water Fuma Shuriken is just a fan name, Giant Water Shuriken would actually make more sense since I recall Bonnie calling it a big Water Shuriken in XY119 too. --[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 02:20, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

== Bond Phenomenon ==
Don't we need to add this in? [[User:Jahman|Jahman]] ([[User talk:Jahman|talk]]) 01:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

== Giant Golden Water Shuriken ==
In the episode XY131 Ash-Greninja uses his Water Shuriken and creates this I dub it Giant Golden Water Shuriken. Could someone add picture and description to Moves Improvised.
Thanks

== Protection ==
You guys might want to protect this page for a speculation crackdown, with the new information Oha Suta broadcast regarding Greninja's possible fate in the upcoming Xerosic episode. [[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] ([[User talk:The Great Butler|talk]]) 17:47, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
:I've semi protected, so users can add what it does in between now and XY139. If it becomes a problem and users keep adding that it will leave, then it'll get fully protected.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
::Also we don't have anyproof it'll be released {{unsigned|Pikastar}}

== Conclusions ==

For the past fews bads people have been saying greninja will be released based on a video clip we all saw and i am tired of it. Since goodra was another case but we need the bare facts first and even if greninja is released which i hope not there is one problem even with his power he can't protect kalos on his own and just because he saw a clip doesn't mean we have all the facts like how people claim it'll be released. For all i know it could mean greninja will sacrifice it's power to save ash {{unsigned|Pikastar}}
:I agree. I really hate it when people jump to conclusions like that. Seriously people see Ash and Greninja hug and they somehow come to the conclusion that he's being released. Stuff like this isn't accomplishing anything. It's one thing to speculate but acting like you already know what's going to happen is another.

== New Ability? ==

Its got a new Ability, Battle Bond. Whats interesting is that battle bond is used to change its greninja form to ash greninja. SOO? Does that mean its confirmed its ability?
: No, this seems to be a means for transformation in the game but in the Anime Ash can call on the phenomenon at any time, it's never been explained as an ability and thus we can't confirm that it is like that in the anime, also don't forget to sign the post [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 13:54, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:: Given the information on the Pokémon website the ability is Battle Bond: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/ The difference between usage in the games vs. anime is just another case of [[differences between the games and anime]]. - [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] ([[User talk:Tasty Salamanders|talk]]) 15:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Flying (type)

2013-11-14T03:42:12Z

Tasty Salamanders: /* Secondary Flying-type Pokémon */ As the original typings have been removed changing the message to make the note more explicit as to its meaning as per Magnemite/Magneton on the Electric type page

{{Types}}
The '''Flying type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ひこうタイプ|Hikō Taipu}}''' ''Flying type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Flying-type Pokémon are the [[Gym Leader]]s [[Falkner]] of [[Violet City]], [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]], and [[Skyla]] of [[Mistralton City]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Flying-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common {{type|Ground}} move {{m|Earthquake}} and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}. However, the Flying type's weaknesses aren't uncommon and can often offset the benefits of immunity to Ground, especially due to many dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. However, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health. Flying types usually have below average defense stats, making them vulnerable to most physical attacks, super effective or not. Additionally, the fact that many Flying types are part Normal makes their resistance to the Fighting type ineffective.

Flying-type Pokémon that use the move {{m|Roost}} will temporarily lose their Flying type, making them vulnerable to Ground-type moves respectively. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in [[Generation IV]] and a {{t|Normal}} type in [[Generation V]].

===Offense===
Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]] and for their strength against the {{t|Fighting}} type. As well as advantages to the common Bug and Grass types, most fully evolved Flying types have above-average {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Speed}} [[stats]]. However, having below average {{Stat|Special Attack}} makes moves such as {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Air Slash}} almost useless, unless used by Flying-type outliers with high Special Attack such as Togekiss or Yanmega. Despite this disadvantage, the Flying type pairs well with other fairly common attacking types. Now that {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}-type moves are no longer resisted by {{t|Steel}} in Generation VI, the Flying-type pairs well with these two types along with the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Fighting}} types. The type itself is also useful for being able to hit any opponent in a [[Triple Battle]].

===Contest properties===
When used in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Flying-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 95 Flying-type Pokémon or 12.9% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the third most common type.

==Trivia==
* Generations I, II, and V introduced the most Flying-type Pokémon of any Generation, all with {{tt|19|including Rotom's Fan form in Gen V}}; while Generation VI introduced the fewest Flying-type Pokémon, with 8.
* Generation I and IV introduced the most Flying-type moves of any Generation, with seven; while Generations II and VI introduced the least Flying-type moves, with only one each.
* Prior to Generation V, this type was the only one of the seventeen that was never seen as an authentic pure type; {{p|Tornadus}} is the first pure Flying type.
** Prior to Generation VI, all dual-typed Flying Pokémon had Flying as a secondary type; {{p|Noibat}} and {{p|Noivern}} are the first Primary Flying-types.
* The Flying type has been paired with every other type. This means it has been paired with the highest number of types.
* Although Normal is not typically paired up with other types, it is the most common type paired with Flying.
* Each generation has introduced at least one part-Flying legendary Pokémon.
* For each possible [[type]] combination with a double weakness to Flying, there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination. Bug/Grass consist of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}, which are in the same evolutionary line, {{p|Wormadam}} Plant Cloak, and {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, and {{p|Leavanny}} which are also in the same evolutionary line, while Fighting-type Pokémon with a double weakness to Flying consist of {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Chesnaught}}.
* All damage-dealing Flying-type moves except {{m|Air Cutter}} can hit non-adjacent Pokémon in [[Triple Battle]]s.
* There is a similarly named [[glitch type]] named the [[Bird (type)|Bird type]]. The only known [[Glitch Pokémon]] that have it as a type are the Red and Blue version of [[Missingno.]] and [['M (00)]].

Normal (type)

Tasty Salamanders: /* Half Normal-type Pokémon */ As the original typings have been removed changing the message to make the note more explicit as to its meaning

{{redirect|Normal|the glitch Normal type|List of glitch types#Normal}}
{{Types}}
The '''Normal type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ノーマルタイプ|Nōmaru Taipu}}''' ''Normal type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Normal-type Pokémon are [[Gym Leader]]s [[Whitney]] of [[Goldenrod City]], [[Norman]] of [[Petalburg City]], [[Lenora]] of [[Nacrene City]], and [[Cheren]] of [[Aspertia City]]. Prior to [[Generation_IV#Advances_in_gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Normal-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

''Note:'' Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the Ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and {{type|Fighting}} moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move {{m|Struggle}} can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, and {{p|Azurill}} (Normal/{{t|Fairy}}), {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Aria Forme (Normal/{{t|Psychic}}), {{p|Bibarel}} (Normal/{{t|Water}}), {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} (Normal/{{t|Grass}}), {{p|Meloetta}}'s Pirouette Forme (Normal/{{t|Fighting}}), {{p|Helioptile}} and {{p|Heliolisk}} ({{t|Electric}}/Normal), {{p|Diggersby}} (Normal/{{t|Ground}}), and {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} ({{t|Fire}}/Normal).

The Normal type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type. However, many Normal-type Pokémon seem to be based on real life mammals.

===Defense===
The Normal type is a mixed bag defensively. It sports only [[Fighting (type)|one weakness]], but only [[Ghost (type)|one immunity]]. A fair number of Normal-type Pokémon also have high stats defensively. However, Fighting-type moves are very common and have gained popularity due to their advantage over the Normal type. This is made even worse by the fact that [[Generation V]] has introduced many common powerful Fighting-type Pokémon, as well as more powerful moves.

===Offense===
The type performs similarly offensively. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves ({{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}), and one type that is immune ({{t|Ghost}}). Normal-type moves cannot deal super effective damage at all though. This is somewhat countered by many Normal types being able to learn Fighting and Ground moves, which are super effective against both types that are resistant to Normal-type moves (excluding Ghost). Many Normal-type Pokémon are also capable of learning a large variety of moves from multiple types.

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular Contest type.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 97 Normal-type Pokémon or 13.2% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the second most common type after {{t|Water}}.

==Trivia==
* Generation I introduced the most Normal-type Pokémon of any generation, with 24. Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type Pokémon, with eight.
* Generation I introduced the most Normal-type moves of any generation, with {{tt|78|counting Gust, Karate-Chop, Bite, and Sand-Attack which had their type changed from Generation II onwards}}. Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type moves, with three.
* With 167 {{cat|Normal-type moves}}, this type has the most [[move]]s available.
* The Normal type is the only type that is not {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against anything. By extension, this means it is not possible to resist Normal-type moves during an [[Kalos Route 18#Inverse_House|inverse battle]].
* The Normal type is one of two types that have both never been and will never (with the current type chart) be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is super effective against no type. The other is the {{t|Dragon}} type, which is super effective only against itself.
* No moves are {{DL|Damage modification|not very effective}} against pure Normal-type Pokémon.
* There are no Normal-type Pokémon with a double weakness.
* The Normal and {{t|Electric}} types have the fewest weaknesses, with just one each.
* There are three Normal-type Pokémon that evolve into {{type|Water}} Pokémon: {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Azurill}}, and {{p|Bidoof}}, with the first two losing their Normal typing completely.
* Notably, there also appears to be an association between mammal-like creatures and the Normal type, given that many species of Normal-type Pokémon are based on terrestrial mammals, including several noted above that combine a second type with their primary Normal type rather than merely omit it.
** Furthermore, that the Normal type could be considered the unspecialized "default" type may be evidenced by the common combination of Normal/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.
* The Normal type has the fewest non-neutral type relations, with only four: Rock, Steel, Ghost, and Fighting.
* Normal-type Pokémon have the highest average HP stat.
* For the purpose of the [[Purify Chamber]], Normal is considered strong against itself, even though in battle it isn't.
* {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Sand Attack}}, {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, and {{m|Sweet Kiss}} were formerly Normal-type moves.

Tasty Salamanders:

This is a very under construction list of all the Pokemon, Moves and Abilities, that affect type, are affected by type or something else.

The main source of these changes come from:
* Retcons Between Generations for Pokemon and Moves
* Form Changes for some Pokemon

Feel free to edit this page (I believe that is allowed) or comment on the {{talk|discussion}} page about how it can be improved.

Move variations

2013-10-27T02:34:43Z

Tasty Salamanders: /* List of status move variations */ I am putting down Forest's Curse and Trick-or-Treat as both replacing the second type on dual-type Pokemon, however there is contradictory information about that, so a reminder for someone to fix when it is clear

'''Move variations''' are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, accuracy and similar in PP (no more than 5 apart), but have different [[type]]s, [[damage category|damage categories]], or secondary effects. Below are the various move archetypes and the moves that fall into their categories.

Move archetypes are listed in alphabetical order. Within each archetype table, moves are listed by generation. Within each generation, moves are listed alphabetically.

Lucario (Super Smash Bros.)

'''Lucario''' (Japanese: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[File:SSBB Lucario.png|left|thumb|200px|Lucario using {{m|Aura Sphere}}]]
Lucario can be unlocked by either playing 100 matches, completing all five target smashes with a single character, or recruiting him in the Subspace Emissary. His home stage is {{st|Spear Pillar}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Fighting|type2=Steel|game=Brawl|Spe=Aura Sphere|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Force Palm|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=ExtremeSpeed|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Counter|SpeDM=yes|FS=Aura Storm}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Lucario first appears meditating on the top of Glacial Peak, where he duels Meta Knight. The player can choose to be either character, with a different cutscene showing if one wins and another if the other does, with the winner reviving the loser from their trophy state. After that, Lucario joins the main party, and goes with Snake and Meta Knight throughout the next level. Lucario teams up with Snake and Meta Knight in order to battle Peach and Zelda, who have been consumed by Subspace bugs. Once they are defeated, Lucario and the others must battle a giant robot atop the Halberd. After that, Lucario and the others meet up with the rest of the heroes and proceed to the Subspace World. After traveling through it, all of the heroes, including Lucario, are turned back into trophies by Tabuu. However, he is later revived by Luigi, Ness, King Dedede and Kirby. Lucario, along with the other characters, go through the Great Maze and defeat Tabuu, saving the world.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
:'''Mei Ling:''' "You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"

:'''Snake:''' "Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "That's his 'Aura'."

:'''Snake:''' "Aura?"

:'''Mei Ling:''' "I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."

:'''Snake:''' "The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!"

:'''Snake:''' "You must have rubbed off on me."

:'''Mei Ling:''' "Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."''

====Trophy information====
[[File:Lucario Aura Storm.png|right|thumb|200px|Lucario using its Final Smash]]
=====Lucario=====
''An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached its maximum point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.''

=====Aura Storm=====
''Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful Aura attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''

==Trivia==
*Lucario's aura effect increases the power of Lucario's attacks the greater the current damage Lucario has. No ability like this exists within the main series, however it is similar to the abilities {{a|Guts}} and {{a|Anger Point}}, however Lucario is incapable of possessing these abilities.

== Green eyes? ==

Since a shiny Jigglypuff has green eyes, and a green-eyed Jigglypuff appeared in the anime, doesn't it mean that it was shiny? -- [[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy512]] 21:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::We should call the green-eyed Jigglypuff in the anime shiny instead of green-eyed because shiny Jigglypuffs have green eyes. [[User:Dolphin2|Dolphins_are_awesome!]] 02:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
:I really don't know. After all, it appeared in Kanto, and back then, we didn't even know of shinies. Remember the Pink Butterfree? '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

::Here's a thought. Why not put the green eyed Jigglypuff trivia fact in the episode article itself? I mean, even Marina's Little Pink had green eyes similar to the Jigglypuff in Rough, Tough Jigglypuff. Putting that fact in the Jigglypuff Pokémon article isn't exactly fitting there. [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 17:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

:::We should add the fact that Jigglypuff was in [[EP072]], and had the same exact attitude as the anime Jigglypuff [[User:ht14|ht14]] 21:59, 18 March 1008 (GMT)

== Romanization ==
I think that it's name could be derived from the English word "purring" referring to it [[Sing (move)|singing abilities]].

--[[User:Stinkoman|悪臭の人]] http://www.hrwiki.org/images/3/37/stinkoman20X6normal.PNG 21:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

But in Japanese Pūrin means "pudding" reffering to its gelatinous form

-- Asujoll [[Psychic (type)| the Psychic Master]]

== backwards sprite ==

Should it be noted that its Red/Blue sprite is facing the wrong way, AWAY from the opponent? Or was that a mistake Bulbapedia made? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 04:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Someone fixed it. Nvr mind. [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 09:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

== Super Smash Bros. ==

The paragraph under Other appearances and for Super Smash Bros. seems to be almost totally unrelated to Super Smash Bros. Perhaps there is a link I am unaware of. Even so, the paragraph has a few grammatical errors and could have been written better alltogether all throughout. Is anyone aware of what the author was trying to say? Also, if this paragraph does indeed have links to Super Smash Bros. melee as the title say, could anyone rewrite this in such a way as to indicate this link exists? {{u|Purdyaw}}

== Inflation =/= Levitate ==

I don't really think that trivia about Jigglypuff not being able to levitate should be there. It's fairly obvious Jigglypuff can inflate itself giving it a small amount of lift, but it cannot {{a|levitate}} as it cannot stay up forever. Unlike Pokémon like {{p|Koffing}} or {{p|Weezing|its evolution}} which use a {{tt|gas to stay afloat|See Koffing's PokéDex entry in Silver Version.}} Jigglypuff is {{tt|not filled with a gas that lifts it off the ground|Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Gold Version}}, instead {{tt|its air is used to keep it from running out of breath ''while'' singing.|See Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Sapphire Version.}} It's more like a balloon filled with oxygen rather than helium. Remember, just because a chicken is a bird and has wings doesn't mean it can fly. :D But if you wanna argue about it, do it here. Stop the editing war. (P.S. If you want to argue about Pokémon Snap, remember that {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} also floated, {{p|Magneton}} weren't stuck together, you used pester balls to evolve a {{p|Grimer}}, and Koffing had a hold on Jigglypuff ''without any arms''.) [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 03:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:In all honesty, I don't think any such argument need ever be started after you so thoroughly shut down the notion; it is blatantly obvious that Jigglypuff is not a Pokémon given to the ability to keep off the ground, and so noting that it cannot do this seems utterly silly. (Also, sorry about the editing war; I just figured reverting and providing a comment would be the easiest way for me to talk to Vuvuzela about it.) —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 03:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::If you think it should not be there then feel free to take it down, I still think it is relevant, Jigglypuff not being able stay in the air forever doesnt seem like a good reason to take it down though, Vibrava can barely fly yet it has the Levitate aility, and I also do not see what you mean by "stop the editing war",there was never an edit war going on, the edit was only reverted the one time.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Twice actually but anyway, Vibrava can fly just fine, not sure what you're referring to. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 04:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Vibrabva's Sapphire & Emerald Pokedex entries both say they are crap at flying (not in those exact words of course) but it still has the ability. Jigglypuff is seen to be able to float for a long time in Snap, presumably longer than Vibrava. Also, it would not be obvious to many newer fans that Jigglypuff is capable of floating in the air, which would be a good reason to keep it on the page.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:24, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::Regardless of how well Vibrava can fly, it ''can'' fly; the title of this section is the perfect counter to your argument. Despite Jigglypuff's ability to remain in the air for any given time, it is quite clearly doing so via inflation and not levitation; as such, it should have nothing to do with the Levitate ability. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 04:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::It says it can fly short distances, doesn't say it can't fly. I've already ruled out that Pokémon Snap has got a lot of questionable content so using that as your definitive proof isn't entirely constructive. It's the only form of media to ever show Jigglypuff hovering. Every other source has no information of Jigglypuff capable of such feats. Even in Smash Brothers it falls after a ''very'' short period of time, and in side games like the Ranger series it never says anything in the browser nor do they fly in-game. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 04:36, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::''Fin.'' —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 04:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Green's Wigglytuff|cough]]* Snap isn't the only media to show Jigglypuff hovering. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Vibrava is not levitating either, it is flapping its wings to fly, so the same argument could be used for Jiggly, as Jigglypuff keeps itself airborne by sucking in lots of air, rather than levitating.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:You do recall that you're the one who initially mentioned Vibrava, right? Either way, your own words: "rather than levitating"; have you genuinely not yet concluded that Jigglypuff isn't a suitable candidate for the Levitate ability?

== Available in all main series games ==

So...I noticed Jigglypuff is one of the only Pokemon that can be obtained in-game in every main series game since generation I, including expansion games like Platinum and Crystal. I think this is worth mentioning, since it is so uncommon. [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 16:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia: "jiggly"? ==

I think that the word "jiggly" comes from either jiggle, to move your body around, or jingle which is making a chimming sound. These could be connected to Jigglypuff's habit of performing songs. It is more likely connected to jiggle since its like a balloon and balloons do 'jiggle' when you punch them lightly. The trivia only talks about its shape and inflating itself. For now I'll put 'jiggle' instead of ''jiggly'' because that's not a noun but an adjective. Most origins in this site have words in forms of nouns unless their Pokemon names says so.[[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

::"First since X" trivia is really arbitrary, so I'd lean toward it not being notable at all. Yes, Fairy-types are the first Pokemon to be retyped since Magnemite/Magneton, but if another new type comes out, it'll be the first to trigger retypes since Fairy, and so on and so forth. First ever is one thing, but second isn't notable no matter how much you gussy it up in "first since" guises.

== Super Smash Bros. ==

The paragraph under Other appearances and for Super Smash Bros. seems to be almost totally unrelated to Super Smash Bros. Perhaps there is a link I am unaware of. Even so, the paragraph has a few grammatical errors and could have been written better alltogether all throughout. Is anyone aware of what the author was trying to say? Also, if this paragraph does indeed have links to Super Smash Bros. melee as the title say, could anyone rewrite this in such a way as to indicate this link exists? {{u|Purdyaw}}

== Inflation =/= Levitate ==

I don't really think that trivia about Jigglypuff not being able to levitate should be there. It's fairly obvious Jigglypuff can inflate itself giving it a small amount of lift, but it cannot {{a|levitate}} as it cannot stay up forever. Unlike Pokémon like {{p|Koffing}} or {{p|Weezing|its evolution}} which use a {{tt|gas to stay afloat|See Koffing's PokéDex entry in Silver Version.}} Jigglypuff is {{tt|not filled with a gas that lifts it off the ground|Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Gold Version}}, instead {{tt|its air is used to keep it from running out of breath ''while'' singing.|See Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Sapphire Version.}} It's more like a balloon filled with oxygen rather than helium. Remember, just because a chicken is a bird and has wings doesn't mean it can fly. :D But if you wanna argue about it, do it here. Stop the editing war. (P.S. If you want to argue about Pokémon Snap, remember that {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} also floated, {{p|Magneton}} weren't stuck together, you used pester balls to evolve a {{p|Grimer}}, and Koffing had a hold on Jigglypuff ''without any arms''.)

:In all honesty, I don't think any such argument need ever be started after you so thoroughly shut down the notion; it is blatantly obvious that Jigglypuff is not a Pokémon given to the ability to keep off the ground, and so noting that it cannot do this seems utterly silly.

::::Vibrabva's Sapphire & Emerald Pokedex entries both say they are crap at flying (not in those exact words of course) but it still has the ability.

:::::Regardless of how well Vibrava can fly, it ''can'' fly; the title of this section is the perfect counter to your argument.

Did the Jigglypuff line used to be all-female? I feel like the 3-1 male ratio is new or maybe I'm just mistaken. —[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 20:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

== Available in all main series games ==

So...I noticed Jigglypuff is one of the only Pokemon that can be obtained in-game in every main series game since generation I, including expansion games like Platinum and Crystal. I think this is worth mentioning, since it is so uncommon. [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 16:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia: "jiggly"? ==

I think that the word "jiggly" comes from either jiggle, to move your body around, or jingle which is making a chimming sound. These could be connected to Jigglypuff's habit of performing songs. It is more likely connected to jiggle since its like a balloon and balloons do 'jiggle' when you punch them lightly. The trivia only talks about its shape and inflating itself. For now I'll put 'jiggle' instead of ''jiggly'' because that's not a noun but an adjective. Most origins in this site have words in forms of nouns unless their Pokemon names says so.[[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

:Guys and girls, we are updating pages as we can, this has just been announced. We aren't super computers, and no, we won't unprotect the pages for user help currently as not all the supporting templates have not been updated to allow them to display correctly as of yet.

== Typo? ==

Shouldn't it say Generation VI and not Generation IV for when Jigglypuff had one type? The error is also found on Gardevoir's and Marill's pages. As far as I know, the new Fairy type wasn't around in Gen V. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 16:13, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== First since Magnemite? ==

Is it worthwhile trivia that Jigglypuff is the first Generation I Pokémon since Magnemite to be retyped?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] ([[User talk:Darknesslover5000|talk]]) 03:27, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
:I would say, "Not at this time." There's a possibility that a Pokémon that comes before Jigglypuff will be retyped as well. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:28, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
::"First since X" trivia is really arbitrary, so I'd lean toward it not being notable at all. Yes, Fairy-types are the first Pokemon to be retyped since Magnemite/Magneton, but if another new type comes out, it'll be the first to trigger retypes since Fairy, and so on and so forth. First ever is one thing, but second isn't notable no matter how much you gussy it up in "first since" guises.

== Type combination trivia ==

Since it has been recently removed and re-added, I'v decided to bring this up here. The section above explains what the trivia should mean, but the current wording is ambiguous and could mean either the intended meaning, or that each type has a Pokémon which is double weak to water, which is, of course, incorrect.

Currently it reads ''There is at least one Pokémon of each type combination that has a double weakness to Water.''

I'm unsure how to word it better. All I could come up with was ''For each possible type combination with a double weakness to Water there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination.'' However that sounds a bit too wordy.

Can anyone come up with something better? (i.e. isn't ambiguous, but isn't too wordy) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

:"For each possible type combination with a double weakness to Water there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination. (examples: Ground/Rock, Geodude, Fire/Rock, Magcargo, Fire/Ground, Numel)" Or we could list them off, like:
*Ground/Rock, *insert Pokémon*
*Fire/Ground, *insert Pokémon*

And so on. It might be wordy, but if it works, it's fine. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 16:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia==
Every main character in the anime (with the obvious exception of Max) has had at least one Water-type Pokémon.)

Would the fact that Max borrowed a Poliwag from Roxanne in [[Gonna Rule the School!]] and Corphish from Ash in [[Candid Camerupt!]] qualify him to be a main character in the anime has ''had'' at least one Water-type Pokémon.
[[User:Elemental|Elemental]] 02:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
:Nope. We could always change it to "owned a Water-type" if you think it's still too ambiguous. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

== Notability of putting the use of a move by only one trainer in the anime in the Trivia section ==
I just wanted the opinion of a pro; I have noticed that in the anime, only one trainer was shown to command the move {{m|Minimize}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}. [[Nurse Joy]] was the only one to ever command Minimize and [[Paul]] was the only one to ever command Giga Drain. Do you think this is notable to put in the trivia sections of both pages? {{u|Ataro}} says that it is not, but he won't give me a good enough reason why. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:Not really. There's a first time for everything, and there's plenty of moves that have never been used in the anime. So I don't think it's notable for moves used recently. If the move was used in the first season, and was never used since.......maybe. Signature moves wouldn't count though, I don't think. Like saying Lugia's the only Pokémon to use Aeroblast in the anime. Well yeah, duh, it's the only Pokémon who knows it.

::Alright, thanks. And it is obvious that {{p|Lugia}} is the only one capable of using {{m|Aeroblast}}, even though I didn't mean literal signature moves. I just meant moves that have only been commanded by one trainer in the anime. But now I understand. And by the way, on the Archives, when you upload an improved file of a picture, how do you get that upload to be the default set picture? I uploaded a new file for [[Roxie]]'s {{p|Garbodor}}, but when I go to her page, it shows the old one. Do you know how to fix that?

== Template Request ==

Hey Jo, I was wondering if you could help me with something. On the new Dungeon location pages ([[Desolate Valley|like this one for example]]), has the items listed without a template or anything to go along with it. IMO, it's rather plain looking the way it is now. Do you think you could somehow find or develop a template that could be used to list MD game items? Thanks for da help.

== Template: Starter Pokémon ==

I don't know about you, but I think the template for the Starter Pokémon needs some major changes. For example, we can remove the Rumble and MD starters and replace them with the Conquest. Also, having the yellow starters pushed to the left makes it look a little wierd. Maybe they should in the middle (right under Johto and Unova).[[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 00:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== About the changes you made to the Join Avenue article ==

I don't want to revert everything you did, but neither do I feel like putting in the enormous amount of work it would take to correct your mistakes. So I'm asking, could you please do that yourself? I think you'd figure out where you went wrong if you read the article, but I can provide some main points:
* You've removed all the question marks from the recommendation phrase table, which were there because they had not been disconfirmed. For example, the table now says that "Is there a place where I can warm up?" is not compatible with the Raffle Shop type, when it is. Essentially, you turned a "research in progress" table into a final one, which does not make sense unless you've somehow acquired complete knowledge on it, but the example above illustrates that you have not.
* You've also included the phrases "I want to get excited about something" and "I want to buy some delicious berries!", which I hid because the users who originally added them to the article most likely did not write them exactly as they appear in the games - first one lacks a period or an exclamation mark, second one probably capitalizes Berries like the other Berry-related phrase.
* You changed the recommendation phrase table's point system from two columns which presented NPC fans' 75% and multiplayer representations' 100%, listing the correct point values for the various quotes, to a four column system that erroneously factors in Hall of Fame entrance, has the same point values for almost every phrase, and for some reason mentions StreetPass, which you will also discover makes little sense if you read the article.
* You've expanded the Café table to include not only one price per service, but one for each rank as well, which you'll see is completely wrong if you read what the article says about avenue rank.
There's more, but I may be able to take care of that myself, after you've cleaned up. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 08:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
:I'll accept that I might have made a few errors, and you're welcome to not agree with something I did, but I don't appreciate the attitude that is present in your message.
:* I don't see how this inhibits anyone from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Join_Avenue&diff=1831701&oldid=1831632 adding in check marks when they find something that works]. I think having a bunch of question marks all over the place looks sloppy, so yes, I removed them.
:* Those are simple grammar mistakes. I'd rather have a simple mistake like that than completely hiding the information should someone need to look up that specific phrase. I went ahead and made the corrections as one of my visitors just said, "I want to get excited about something!"
:* The points I received from one of the phrases was different than what was on the table, so yes, I assumed there was something different regarding the points. But you're right, it seems I was mistaken. I can't remember what the phrase was that gave me the 150 points, either. The term "Multiplayer representation" is misleading. Multiplayer means that the other player is actively controlling themselves, which is not the case here. I've changed it simply to "other players".
:* Fair enough. I was focused on templates and did not read that. I've also corrected the prices I added to their non-discounted amount. I still don't know which Café I have, so I'm unsure how to correct the Ranks which you receive each dish.

::Attitude? Come on, my message was about as matter-of-fact as possible. Please don't try to make this personal just because I informed you of your mistakes.
::* I agree that this is a matter of opinion, and as long as I'm not responsible for the choice, I can accept the lack of question marks.
::* You fixed this.
::* You partially fixed this, except for the point values, which you've listed as 75/100 for most phrases, when they in fact have specific values. You will find these if you look at the article as it was before you made your changes.
::** Naming those characters is tricky. They were previously referred to as "avatars of other players". I'd say that "other players" sounds more like they are actually being controlled than "multiplayer representations" does, though, but I'm quite indifferent to what they are called.
::* You fixed this. I thought you identified your Café variation after our exchange at my talk page, but it seems you didn't. Again, look at the NPC fan table, which says Jocelyn wants to open a Café (A). Unless the original contributor made a mistake, that means your Café is variation A. Variation A has Power Lunch A at Rank 1, while Variation B has Power Lunch F at Rank 1. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 12:46, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

What is the purpose of the <code>Learnset:</code> namespace? I've noticed it in my search settings and was wondering if there is anything in there; if not, whether it would ever be used.

== Location Infobox ==

The location infobox as shown [[Miror_B.%27s_Hideout|here on the Miror B.'s Hideout page]] automatically attempts to find a map for the location with the same name as the location (in this case, the non-existent "Orre Miror B.'s Hideout Map.png"). However, the appropriate image would be the map location of Pyrite Town ([[a:File:Orre Pyrite Town map.png|this image]]). This leaves two possible solutions, either modifying the template (which could most likely cause all sorts of unforeseen glitches on pages), or creating a page for "File:Orre Miror B.'s Hideout Map.png" that would contain a redirect to "File:Orre Pyrite Town map.png". While the latter seems like the most logical and simple solution, I am simply seeking approval in case creating redirects for each location in Orre to their corresponding map locations isn't desired. --[[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 18:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

:Providing a chat log or a believable alibi would be best. A lot of people, myself included, have voice actors on Facebook, so in that case, it'd be best to link to the discussion if it was on a status, or taking a screenshot if it's a private chat (make sure the voice actor's name is visible at least). If a voice actor goes to a convention and you happen to meet them there, that'd be a reasonable story as we can see if the con was recently, if they were at that con, and if it's within a reasonable proximity to the user's location. If you know a voice actor personally, say how you met them, and any extra proof (Facebook friends, a photo of the two of you together, or whatever you're comfortable with) will help validate your relationship with the person.

== Pokemon Black and White 2... ==

Hi Jo, Do you have Pokemon Black or White 2? If so, is it worth it to get one of them? I've played Pokemon White, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed with it. It's story moved a bit too fast, and it was very confusing. I have a birthday coming up soon,so do you think I should get one? Is there really much improvment? Or should I just wait for X and Y? (im not that happy that they are adding new types)Which one? {{unsigned|JolteonGuardian}}

It's been suggested that when a Sky Plate-holding Arceus uses the move Roost, it will turn into the ???-type Arceus. However, as the only way for Arceus to GET Roost is through hacking, I have not been able to test these claims yet. However, if anyone here manages to play out this scenario by hacking an Arceus that has the move, please edit the article accordingly should the theory be proven correct. --[[User:Mburusu|M.

:::I hate to bump ancient conversations, but I tested this last night.

Test 1: Smeargle Skill Swapped Kecleon. Switched in Nidorino and used Peck, turning Smeargle to a Flying type. Smeargle used Roost and Nidorino used Peck again, trying to activate color change; if Roost had changed Smeargle to ???, Color Change would activate. It did not.

Test 2: Smeargle Skill Swapped Kecleon. Nidorino Pecked it. Switched in Magcargo that held Lagging Tail. Smeargle Roosted and Magcargo used Earth Power. KO'd Smeargle.

Test 3: Same as Test 2, except Magcargo used Rock Smash. No effectiveness message.

My findings; if a pure Flying-type uses Roost, it DOES lose the Flying typing. However, it does not gain the Normal type temporarily, nor any type against which Fighting is Super/Not Very Effective, for that matter. More testing is needed to be absolutely sure, but I think that a pure Flying type that uses Roost does indeed become the ??? type. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU!

:UPDATE! Between Ground and Fighting, I was able to eliminate all types except Water, Fighting, and Dragon. I just conducted another test in which I used Meowth's Bite (eliminating Fighting), and Bibarel's Water Gun (eliminating Water and Dragon). Thusly, I can confirm that when Smeargle is a pure Flying type and uses Roost, its type becomes ???. I should maybe add this to the article? Also, since article names with question marks now work, I shall do with this what I did with the Generation III Glitch Pokémon and move this article to the correct title.

In Generation II, Porygon can learn Curse using the TM for it.

2) Gave to Arceus. Saved. Battled Cynthia. It said "Arceus used Judgement!" Then it said "It's super effective!" Lucario comes out. "arceus used judgement!" Then it was super effective again. all pokemon were One Hit KO'ed.

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Could be something intentional. I would assume that Phanpy could learn Strength if you taught that to Blaziken then removed it. [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 20:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy. Maybe when the breeding happened the data some how got mixed and BAM, you have a Phanphy that knows Rock Smash. Did you use any cheats (earlier on) at all?--[[User:Sorou|sorou]] 17:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I have seen, and the D/P Nintendo power guide states that, you can pass on abilities via breeding. This would be important to note, wouldn't it? It seems like something that big should be listed.

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out.

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures. So, assuming that the mother is not a Ditto, and there is a chance between the two Abilities, and the mother is holding an Everstone, there appears to be a better than 50% chance that the child will have the same ability. I have no idea how to formally prove this, but if someone could either explain to me how to prove it, or simply look into it themselves, it would be appreciated.--[[User:Xatu|Xatu]] 03:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg. This lower chance translates to a statistically longer period of waiting until the Daycare man hands you the egg, but nothing beyond that.

Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male.

The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine).

== Inbreedible Pokemon? ==
Okay so I have this male Charizard that I want to breed so I can send the Charmander over to my Leaf Green Version. I put it in the daycare with SEVERAL DIFFERENT Dittos, each with a different nature. All of them did not have interest in my Charizard or vice-versa. I looked up the nature and noticed that it had a LAX nature (Charizard).

::: It is definitely set when it hatches. I have hatched an army of Scyther (trying to get one with a "Rash" nature) and the gender and nature were always the same for the pokemon, even if i saved the game before it hatched, had it do so, and restarted it.

:It may be referencing that, in real life, inbreeding can lead to developmental problems in the newborns, and so no such issues (always poor IVs, for example, or crappy natures) would occur in the Pokemon games.

::Actually, there is debate among scientific circles as to the validity of superstitions that inbreeding causes developmental defects. While more recent articles focus more on how this does lead to homozygosity and an increase in recessive alleles, an article from the Dept of Biostatistics study concludes that, "No significant differences existed in the incidence of congenital anomalies among offspring between the consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages in the rural or in the urban area." (Rao and Inbaraj, 1980). This doesn't necessarily write out its nature as a taboo subject in non-scholarly circles, but please enjoy just one of many scholarly articles on the subject, this one by the Dept of Biostatistics found in the Journal of Medical Genetics: [http://jmg.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/17/1/27 Inbreeding effects on fetal growth and development] I admit it's an older article, but newer articles tend to focus on studied genetic changes other than "defects".- ''unsigned comment from {{u|PharosAM}} ([[User talk:PharosAM|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PharosAM|contribs]]) ''

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Talking to the daycare ==

Does talking to the daycare man outside to see how your pokémon are getting along have an effect on getting an egg? Cause I was cycling for quite a while and then I figured I should at least see how compatible my pokémon are with each other (which was "They don't seem to like each other very much" or something), then I went back to cycling around. My first lap and he has an egg, so is it just my luck or a requirement? Thanks in advance :) [[User:Adam0935|Adam0935]] 05:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

== Held Items ==

Can a pokemon carry a held item when it has been hatched? I'm playing on HeartGold and I just caught Chansey in safari zone which took me freaking forever, about 3 hours. so if you kept breeding Chansey could one of the new pokemon be carrying a [[Lucky Egg]]. I really don't want to have to go around and catch another 19 Chansies if it's gonna take as long as the first one. [[User:Greenlikeblue]] 9:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

While some players may have been successful with this method on HG/SS, I think the page should say that it may work in HG/SS but not in D/P. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 22:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
:I think you might just be misreading the paragraph... it's pretty widely known and obvious that males will never have a 50% chance of passing natures, in any game.

::Yes, that's the thing—I didn't expect it to be true, and testing it proved that it was definitely not true in Diamond. I think the offending sentence on the page is just plain ''wrong'', but there's a ''citation'' for it, which points to a forum thread where people claim to have gotten the Everstone trick to work on males for passing down their natures. Assuming they're not posting misinformation, I was wondering if this was a recent change to the Everstone trick that only occurred in HG/SS, while still not working in D/P/Pt. Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 07:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage. It is extraneous, but it's also helpful for people who use Bulbapedia to make decisions regarding their games. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 23:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

::The first part is as I suspected. For the second part, I understand the reasoning, however it doesn't work completely.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

As mentioned [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Abilities|at the beginning of the talk page]] there was previous rumors abilities could be passed down, but according to [[Pokémon Dream World#Breeding mechanics|this]], with the new hidden abilities this actually seems to be the case.

Talk:Psychic (type)

2010-11-12T15:46:51Z

Tasty Salamanders: /* Trivia */

Hey, I did a major revision to the original entry for "Psychic (type)", but because of server problems on the day of launch, it never got entered correctly. It's saved to a Notepad file on my hard drive, and I can easily reproduce it. It mainly covered the history of the metagame in reference to the Psychic-type in particular. Such things were discussed as the lack on tangible weaknesses in the first generation, the introduction of dark & steel types, etc. It also includes all the attack/resistance information that originally existed, but was deleted at some point...

Is it fine to assume that this type of content, since it has a factual and historic relevance to the Psychics, is acceptable for the wiki entry? If so, I'll add it.

Thank you,
~Adam

It's really a fine line between the stating of "facts" and the stating of opinions; i've been hanging up Jshadias's work on the [[Grass (type)]] page as a spectacular example of what should, for the most part, be done. Talk about trends, battling advantages and disadvantages, but much less in specifics.

You can always post it and have it edited down as people see fit.

~Evan

(Waah. The server bug made me post it like 10x. ~Ev.)

I think a page discussing the evolution of the metagame through the generations would be more appropiate, with a mention and a link on the Psychic page (since they '''are''' so influential in RBY).

-Jshadias

...amazingly, I found what I'd typed before on the metagame evolution in regards to the Psychic-type. I guess I'm posting it here, for lack of a better idea (of a place). I haven't edited it since, so it's probably needing a lot of input before it's ready for posting for real. Tell me what you think. I'm not so great with the wiki itself, so...

'''Psychic-type Pokemon''' were one of the most overused types in the Red/Blue/Yellow days. The reason for this was that, at the time, Psychic-type Pokemon were only weak to Bug-type attacks. There was also what many consider a programming error that rendered the supposed "supereffective" Ghost-type attacks ineffective. Additionally, there were no powerful Bug-type attacks to be found, and those '''Bug-type Pokemon''' with moderately powerful attacks often possessed a weakness to Psychic-Type attacks. As you might expect, with no tangible threat from any Bug-type Pokemon, Psychics had an unfair advantage.

This continued until the "Special" stat of Red/GReen/Blue/Yellow was split in Gold/Silver/Crystal into both "Special Attack" and "Special Defense". The hallmark of the Psychic-type had always been to possess a high rating in "Special". However, while this also gave them heavy protection against Special attacks in the first generation, when Special was split in the second generation, most Psychic-type Pokemon either lost some attacking power or some defensive power. Also introduced to help level the playing field was the added weakness to Ghost-type attacks, a new '''Ghost-type Pokemon''' and a highly damaging Ghost-type attack, called "Shadow Ball". Additionally and perhaps most importantly, two entirely new Pokemon types were ultimately created to help ensure that Psychic types would no longer be superior to other types; they were the '''Dark-type Pokemon''' and the '''Steel-type Pokemon'''.

In the current and third generation, Psychic-types, like most pokemon, have an equal share of the power. This is mainly due to the limitations placed on EVs.

Another thing to note about the Psychic-type is that many legendary Pokemon possess this type. All throughout the history of Pokemon, there have always been many inherantly powerful Psychic-type Pokemon. To name a few: Mewtwo, Lugia, Celebi, Latios, Deoxys

I think a note in trivia should be added, as in every odd numbered generation has been a psychic type gim leader(s) and in every even numbered there has been a psychic type elite four member.

Talk:Legendary trio

2010-10-11T12:25:45Z

Tasty Salamanders: /* Energy Dragons */

Here are some ideas: 

-Possibly better names for the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[weather trio]]s and [[Dialga]]/[[Palkia]]/[[Giratina]] (note that each of these guys have a similar look like all trios [these have a similar mouth] and share a naming system [like all trios except the weather trio]): Legendary fairies (maybe pixies/sprites/spirits?), legendary ancients, and legendary dragons (or something that involves dimensions). 

-I agree with several articles saying [[Rayquaza]] is the internal leader/mediator of the weather trio, especially since it is more powerful that the other 2. 

-I think maybe [[Arceus]] can be considered the leader of both the fairies and dragons. This would fit since it is so powerful. 

-I don't think the weather/dimensional trios can be considered true trios, since they break some patterns (Weather - not all are equally powerful; internal leadership; don't share a naming system; they look similar but are not in the same, say, "family"; while other trios would typically share the same stance (flying, all fours, bipedal, etc.), these do not; Dimensional - not all together in 'dex listings; stance thing). Also, perhaps one could say each has a legendary that sort of opposes what they represent? The weather trio all represent a part of the Earth, whereas [[Deoxys]] is an extra-terrestrial being, and the dimensional trio each represent a dimension of reality, whereas [[Darkrai]] represents dreams. So perhaps these guys can be seen as "leader" (well, antithesis) to these trios.

While Rotom may corrupt technology, it is still drawn to it - just like how Lugia is drawn to the sea, while its duty in the movie is to depower it.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

::::You can get snorlax and the red gyarados in a special way like you do with legendaries and they are not legendary at all. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 19:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pics ==

Hey, has anyone noticed how the trio pics on this site are (no offense) COMPLETELY PATHETIC?!?! I say someone ask Aragornbird (the webmaster on Arkeis.com) to make some trio pics. Those things are terrible! {{User|Giratina's Embodiment}}
:Official artwork is preferable to fan art. We get less edit wars that way. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I still say we should call in aragornbird, his pics are awsome. Please don't say 'if you think FAW is so good, you draw pics yourself', because I can barely draw Ditto. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 23:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Other Possible Groupings Part II ==

I think you should extend those to full trio ideas, rather than just duo such. I would do at least one:
Mew/Celebi/Jirachi ('Cute' trio)
Also, while we're on the talk of 'cute' legends, I agree with whoever in Terminia put up a Manaphy/Phione pair on the duos page. I need to get to that right now. What in the name of Majora put brains in that guy? (Sorry, that's a compliment). [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 23:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:...Do you have proof of such?~[[User:Pokemaniac102|Ποκεμανιακα0β]] 00:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== No Merge on my lands! ==

'''NO''' merging the trio pages on my watch. Although I agree with merging the Legendary Trio and Trio Master pages. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 18:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pics Part II ==

Okay, I have an idea. I'm gonna talk to aragornbird, and if he agrees, how about we ''add'' the pics rather than changed to them? Because I think those pics are awesome, but agree with Fabu-Vinny; it'll prevent unnessasary edit wars. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 18:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Naming Ideas ==

I think that these trios ''need better names!'' for example;
G/K/R: Wheather Trio? Bad Name. Mabye change to Legendary Earthmasters? Or Super-Ancients, I like that one.
U/M/A: Lake Trio? Again, bad name. Try Lake Spirits, or Legendary Spirits.
D/P/G: Dragon Trio? Not to bad, but I like that Universal Trio one. Or Legendary Universals.
[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 20:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

:We don't name them....'''[[User:Pachirisulover12|PL]][[User talk:Pachirisulover12|12]]''' 20:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Good point, but could we at least throw in alternate names for them, like (using dragon trio as example)

Dragon trio is the term used to describe the trio of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. They are also known as the Universal Trio.

Or something like that. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 20:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

:If you made up that name, and not another professional website, then no. '''[[User:Pachirisulover12|PL]][[User talk:Pachirisulover12|12]]''' 20:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Fine then. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 21:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

All of those names are terrible. Earthmasters? Kyogre lives in the Ocean and Rayquaza in the sky. Why would we even include fan names? -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 22:06, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Can it, Sketch. I ain't called Giratina's Embodiment for nothing.
:You shouldn't talk to Sketch like that, he's an admin. Plus he does have a point. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 17:12, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Did you not hear what I ''just said?!'' I ain't called Giratina's Embodiment for nothing. My master just has a little trouble with the keyboard. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 17:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
:Riiight. Still, fan made names shouldn't be used. This is an encyclopedia, and we don't use them here, it was what my point and Sketch's point. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 17:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Whatever. I'm just gonna specify what my names meant.

Earthmasters: This trio controls the condition of the Earth. Super-Ancients: They are ancient Pokémon.

Lake Spirits: This trio's member's all live in lakes in all games they appear in, and M/A are seen as spirits in the anime. Legendary Spirits: latter of previous explanation.

Universal Trio: This trio may as well control the universe. Legendary Universals: Exact same thing. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 22:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== Is it a coincidence? ==

That the birds, beasts, and lake trio's have a similar color scheme. Red/pink(Mespirit), Blue, and Yellow.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 20:01, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

: No, I think that was planed [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 20:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
::Is it worth mentioning?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 20:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
:::RBY is a very common color scheme, especially when they are reusing the same types. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:37, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== "Muskadeers"? ==

I belive a mention is the least they can have; they behave exactly like the trios of older generations, with 580 BST and their avaliability. Keldeo acts in some ways like a trio master, rather that making a quartet, and is an event Pokemon on top of that. Also, it is d'Artagnan and the Three Muskateers, not The Four Muskateers, keep that in mind.

As for the Fuijin/Raijin trio, Landros has a higher BST that Tornaros and Voltros, and acts in some ways similar to a trio master. Both of the traditional 580 trios in Gen V are unorthodox, but they deserve a mention at least.

I would argue about making a mention of Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh having a relationship similar to that of trios like the Dragon one, but not being a real trio due to their origins being quite different, and the only relation between Mewtwo and the birds being on a statistical level.

== Energy Dragons ==

Shouldn't the energy dragons be under mascot trios?--[[User:RegiRuler|Regi]][[User talk:RegiRuler|Ruler]] 11:37, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:Is the third one a version mascot? No. So obviously no.--''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 11:48, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::Not YET, I would say, but it is obvious, give it 2 years. [[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 18:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I think calling it uncategorised could confuse people who come to the page. While not all 3 of them are mascots it can be assumed that Kyurem will be the mascot for the 3rd version, though assumption isn't good enough to list it as so. However if Kyurem isn't the mascot then it would be listed as a normal trio which would confuse some who would think otherwise. I think the problem is that a Mascot trio hasn't been properly defined. Is it where all 3 members are mascots? In which has while Kyurem may be a mascot in the future for now it isn't and thus the Energy Dragons aren't (at the moment) as mascot trio. Is it where the majority (two thirds) are mascots? In which case even while Kyurem isn't a mascot the trio has enough mascot members to count as a mascot trio.

==Characteristics==
Bug {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are usually amongst the first Pokémon types a Trainer can find in the wild. They generally [[evolution|evolve]] at very early levels compared to most other Pokémon. The type varies from strong to weak. Depending on the Bug Pokémon, they can provide annoyance with stat altering moves or hit hard with attacks such as {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|X-Scissor}}, {{m|Signal Beam}} and {{m|Bug Buzz}}.

Offensively, they can be problematic. Speaking from the pros they can come in handy against {{t|Psychic}} and {{type2|Dark}}s, which are two types common in most teams, and also the very common {{type2|Grass}}, but many Grass-types are also Poison-typed, making them neutral to Bug-type moves. The [[Generation I]] games weren't very kind to this type, having only three very weak damage-dealing moves, but many Pokémon of this type have improved over time. This is all mitigated by the fact that too many types (six, falling one short of Grass) resist it to call it a main form of dealing damage. Also, they can often offset their advantage over Psychic-types especially due to the reatively common typing of Bug/Poison types. The fact that they are resisted by Poison, a popular defensive type, causes further problems (though many Poison types also have a subtype that is weak to Bug, such as Grass). In addition, their aforementioned advantage against Psychic-types is mitigated by the Psychic/Flying, Psychic/Fighting and the Psychic/Steel types.

Defensively, Bug-types are still flawed, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, magnifying their weakness to {{t|Rock}}. They resist {{t|Ground}} and even {{t|Fighting}}, two extremely powerful types, however, Pokémon of both those types can also learn Rock-type moves to render the Bug type's resistance to them useless. Dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding double resistance to {{t|Fighting}}, which can make up for their slightly low {{stat|Defense}}. They also have a double resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves, meaning they would take very little damage from such notorious moves as {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an {{p|Nincada|extra slot in the party}}, its {{p|Yanma|current moveset}}, {{p|Burmy|gender}}, {{p|Wurmple|personality values}}, {{p|Kurumayu|Happiness}}, being traded with an {{p|Scyther|item}} or even with {{p|Kaburumo|a specific}} {{p|Chobomaki|Pokémon}}.

When used in [[contest]]s, Bug-type moves do not favor one [[contest category]].

==Pokémon==

As of Generation V, there are 63 Pokémon (65 if counting each of Wormadam's cloaks) with the Bug type.

==Trivia==
* Even though {{t|Flying}} is a common secondary type among Bug-type Pokémon, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}} {{p|Urugamoth|are}} {{p|Genesect|not}} Flying types.
* Each generation has introduced at least one Bug-type Pokémon whose name starts with the letter S.
* Until Platinum, several Bug-type Pokémon, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}, were unable to learn any Bug-type moves. Each of them is now able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level, and Wormadam can learn {{m|Signal Beam}} by [[move tutor]].
* Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early. Reasons for that could be to give the player the opportunity of having a strong evolved Pokémon in the beginning in order to earn the Gym [[Badge]] more easily, and that insects in fact can increase their population in short periods of time. Ironically though, {{p|Urugamoth}} evolves at level 59, the second highest level needed to evolve, only surpassed by {{p|Sazandra}}.
** Despite this, all but one of the very first Gyms are strong against Bug-types, as they specialize in {{t|Rock}} and {{type2|Flying}}s, and even the one that isn't has a chance to specialize in {{type2|Fire}}s.
* As of Generation II, the Bug type (along with the {{t|Fighting}} type) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).
** In Generation I, the Bug type and the {{t|Poison}} type also shared the same interaction: they were super-effective against each other. As of Generation II, Poison-type Pokémon now resist Bug-type moves, and Poison-type moves are neutral on Bug-types.
* The Poison type's now neutral matchup against Bug is likely based on insects adapting to Poison in real life.
* All middle evolution Bug Pokémon are based on cocoons.
* {{m|String Shot}} is the only Bug-type status move that can miss.

{{TypeNotice|Normal|ノーマル|Normal}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Normal-type Pokémon are [[Gym Leaders]] [[Whitney]] of [[Goldenrod City]], [[Norman]] of [[Petalburg City]], and [[Aloe]] of [[Shippou City]].

==Statistical averages==

==Battle properties==
{{typebattle
|type=Normal
|weakto1=Fighting
|noeffect1=Ghost
|resisted1=Rock
|resisted2=Steel
|unaffected1=Ghost
}}
''Note:'' Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and {{type2|Fighting}} moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move {{m|Struggle}} can hit Ghost-types.

==Characteristics==
The Normal type is considered to be one of the best types defensively, as it has only a single weakness and one immunity. Having only one weakness makes up for its lack of resistances, as it causes only the [[stats]] of the Pokémon to be involved in determining damage, and many Normal-type Pokémon have high stats defensively. Offensively, the type performs similarly. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves, and one type which is immune. When facing Pokémon with no resistance to their moves, Normal-type Pokémon can often deal high amounts of damage with a combination of high stats and [[same-type attack bonus]].

The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Voice Forme, which are Normal/{{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, which is Normal/{{t|Water}}, {{p|Shikijika}} and {{p|Mebukijika}}, which are Normal/{{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme, which is Normal/{{t|Fighting}}.

Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them. Most can learn at least one move of the {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type2|Electric}}s, for example.

There are also many Normal-types that rely on an unusual "gimmick" strategy; these include {{p|Ditto}}, the {{p|Porygon}} family, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Thus, the Normal type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.

When used in contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular contest type.

==Pokémon==

As of Generation V, there are 97/649 Pokémon with the Normal type making it the second most common type.

''Note: {{m|Sand-Attack}} was a Normal-type move in [[Generation I]].''

==Trivia==
* With 152 moves, the Normal type has the most [[move]]s.
* There are 11 Normal-type moves with a power of 100 or more, more than any other elemental type.
* Excluding moves of varying power, the most powerful and the most ineffective moves are both of the Normal-type. They are {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Constrict}}, respectively.
* Every generation has introduced Normal-type Pokémon with names that begin with the letters C, T, and S.
* No type is weak to Normal-type moves, making the Normal type the only type that is not {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against anything.
* There are no Pokémon that have Normal as a secondary type.
* As of Generation II, the Normal type (along with {{t|Ghost}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other that isn't normal damage (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
* The Normal-type has more non-damaging moves than any type, with 77 of them.
* There are currently no Normal-type Pokémon with a double weakness (as nothing aside from Flying, Water, Grass, Psychic, and Fighting has been paired with it).
*{{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Shikijika}}, {{p|Mebukijika}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme are the only Normal dual-type Pokémon that retain their weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
*There are three Normal-type Pokémon that evolve into {{type2|Water}} Pokémon: {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Bidoof}}.
*The Normal type has the least elemental relations, with only 4 (excluding neutral): Rock, Steel, Ghost, and Fighting.

No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)

2010-10-06T15:23:26Z

Tasty Salamanders:

{{EggGroups}}
The '''No eggs egg group''' (Japanese: '''タマゴみはっけん''' ''Eggs Never Discovered'') is one of the fifteen [[egg groups]].

==Characteristics==
The No eggs egg group is characterized by its members' inability to breed. Most of the Pokémon in the group are either [[baby Pokémon]] or [[legendary Pokémon]].

Baby Pokémon are designated for this group due to them being too immature to breed, while legendary Pokémon are included to prevent players from breeding them (with the exception of Manaphy and Phione). The reason why Nidorina and Nidoqueen are in this group has been widely speculated since their inclusion in it in [[Generation II]].

==Pokémon==

===In this and another egg group===
None

==Trivia==
*This group is the only one besides the {{egg2|Ditto}} in which all members are in a single group, as being a member of any other egg group would defeat the purpose of being in the No eggs group.
*{{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} are both in this group and therefore cannot breed; however, their male counterparts {{p|Nidorino}} and {{p|Nidoking}}, as well as their pre-evolution {{p|Nidoran♀}}, are able to do so. No real explanation has been given for this.
*The only [[legendary Pokémon]] not in this egg group are {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}, both in the {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Fairy}} groups.

:::I hate to bump ancient conversations, but I tested this last night.

Test 1: Smeargle Skill Swapped Kecleon. Switched in Nidorino and used Peck, turning Smeargle to a Flying type. Smeargle used Roost and Nidorino used Peck again, trying to activate color change; if Roost had changed Smeargle to ???, Color Change would activate. It did not.

Test 2: Smeargle Skill Swapped Kecleon. Nidorino Pecked it. Switched in Magcargo that held Lagging Tail. Smeargle Roosted and Magcargo used Earth Power. KO'd Smeargle.

Test 3: Same as Test 2, except Magcargo used Rock Smash. No effectiveness message.

My findings; if a pure Flying-type uses Roost, it DOES lose the Flying typing. However, it does not gain the Normal type temporarily, nor any type against which Fighting is Super/Not Very Effective, for that matter. More testing is needed to be absolutely sure, but I think that a pure Flying type that uses Roost does indeed become the ??? type. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU!

::What about Unknown (type) to fit in with the others?--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 17:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

== eggs ==

How can an eg be a ??? type. It is is considered as such because you don't know what pokemon its going to be. The ???-type Arceus is different. {{unsigned|Hyurnat4}}
:Because ''technically'' the contents of the egg are unknown. So, the type that the Pokémon inside will be is also unknown... Even though most players know what will be inside their Pokémon Eggs. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 04:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Statistical averages ==

OK, since we've established that Eggs are ???-type, and Arceus and Smeargle have the capability to become ???-type, might this warrant a statistical averages section? Perhaps, sans Arceus, since there is no legal way to get its type changed to ???? And I know I read somewhere that Eggs have base stats of 10 across the board, so that technically would count. Just gotta dig up where I found that... [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno.

== Uh ==

...I'm pretty sure question marks in titles still don't agree with the inner workings of the wiki, considering I can still see pages being moved for that reason. Is this working alright, or should it be moved back to "Unknown type"? ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 01:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

:They appear to be working fine on my end. My guess is that {{u|Archaic}} wasn't aware that question marks in titles actually ''were'' working, singled out [[Which One ~ Is It?]] (the newest Japanese ending theme of the anime), and moved the article to a location without the question mark, citing problems which appear to not exist. Don't know how these signals are getting crossed...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:32, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

== Arceus and HG/SS ==

We know that in D/P/Pt, Arceus has a ???-type sprite. But does it have one in HG/SS? [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
:yes. [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 10:25, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

== Arceus testing ==

If Arceus's base type is hacked to be ??? instead of Normal, does it show the ???-type sprite? [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Some people have already used a game-altering device so that when Arceus is sent out it is the ??? type. The sprite indeed changes, however I've only seen videos of Arceus changing into his ??? form and then back into his Normal form because there is no ??? plate. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 15:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

== Phys/Spec split ==

"Because they're not programmed to be either physical or special moves, even with a base power of 255 (the highest that the game allows), the move will do almost no damage."

Is this true for 4th gen games? Because, logically, it shouldn't be. (Unless Gamefreak used some really cheap work-around, which is unnecessary as far as I know.) --[[User:~Poke~|~Poke~]] 05:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

== Struggle? ==

Struggle has no offensive properties. Could it be '???' type? What is it listed as in the game's coding?
:Normal --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 09:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

== Shadow Sky weather ball. ==

{{m|Weather Ball}} during {{m|Shadow Sky}} is a proper ??? move in XD. Should be added to the article. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 16:09, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
:I think it is really Shadow-type rather than ???-type. I don't have XD, so I can't test it. Apparently, Shadow moves are super effective against non-Shadow Pokémon and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== Smeargle? ==

As mentioned [[Talk:??? (type)#Arceus and Roost|earlier in the article]] Smeargle can apparently be ??? type by doing somethings. If this is true shouldn't Smeargle be added to added to the article. Also I think it raises the question of what happens when Smeargle does the same thing in Gen V. —[[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 08:14, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Tasty Salamanders: /* Half Fighting-type Pokémon */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Fighting|かくとう|Fighting}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon are [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]], and [[Renbu]] of the [[Isshu]] Elite Four. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several Trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is no longer an official Gym.

''Note:'' Although Fighting-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
As of [[Generation IV]], the Fighting type, along with {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Ground}}, is often considered a key offensive type in the game. In the past, the type was not as effective thanks to the power of the {{type2|Psychic}}s, but now their useful resistances and vast type coverage allow many Fighting-types to sweep freely.

Defensively, the Fighting type has cons and pros. Fighting-type Pokémon have key resistances to Dark and Rock, but their weaknesses are to the common Flying and Psychic types. They also usually fall to Psychic moves in one turn, due to a low Special Defense. However, several Fighting Pokémon (Like {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Zuruzukin}} and {{p|Kobaruon}}) have a subtype that rids them of the Psychic weakness. Also, resistance to {{t|Bug}} can sometimes assist Fighting types (Though Bug has that same resistance to Fighting).

Offensively, the Fighting type is very powerful. It hits five different types with super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the {{type2|Ground}}, with which it ties. It deals super-effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super-effective against Normal. It is super-effective against Ice, a key offensive but low defensive type. It is also one of the two types super-effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}/{{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the {{a|Scrappy}} ability. In the first three generations, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but this has changed with the introduction of {{m|Close Combat}} and increased availability of moves such as {{m|Superpower}}. It should be noted that the offensive combination Fighting/Ghost is resisted by no Pokémon, as only the theoretical typing of Normal/Ghost will be able to resist it. The Fighting type also pairs up well with the {{t|Dark}} type offensively as {{p|Croagunk|only}} {{p|Toxicroak|three}} {{p|Heracross|Pokémon}} currently resist a Fighting/Dark combination.

When used in contests, Fighting-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]], but can also be of two other Contest categories. No Fighting-type moves are of the [[Cute Contest|Cute]] category.

==Pokémon==

As of Generation V, there are 40 Pokémon with the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], the Fighting type is the only type that has not been paired with the {{type2|Flying}}.
* All of the [[legendary golems]], including {{p|Regigigas}}, are weak to Fighting moves.
* No Fighting-type move can hit both foes in a double battle.
* Along with the {{t|Ground}} type, Fighting-type moves are super effective against the most Pokémon types: five.
* Fighting is the only type to have two variations of {{m|Quick Attack}}: {{m|Mach Punch}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
** It is also the only type to have a special variation of Quick Attack.
* As of Generation II, the Fighting type (along with {{t|Bug}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).
*There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon in every generation.
*Color representations for the Fighting type have generally been inconsistent in various Pokémon media. While the Fighting-type has been associated with the color red in the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], it is associated with the color orange in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], and with the color brown in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* Fighting is the only formerly all Physical type not to have any of it's moves changed into Special moves. All of its Special moves were introduced after the Physical/Special split was retooled.
* So far, [[Generation I]] and [[Generation V]] are the only generations lacking a Fighting type gym (Although the Saffron Dojo in [[Kanto]] does specialize in the Fighting type).
* Fighting is the most common secondary type for evolutions of starter Pokémon.

Legendary trio

2010-10-02T05:13:29Z

Tasty Salamanders:

A '''legendary trio''' is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[legendary Pokémon]]. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers, normal trios and mascot trios. Normal trios, which are always the first legendaries that appear in any Pokédex order, are allowed into the many [[Battle Tower]]s and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon whose base stats total to 580. The mascot trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are [[version mascot]]s, are not allowed in the [[Battle Tower]], and are found close to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.

Many trios, in addition to sharing at least one [[type]], will far more commonly share their [[ability]] and [[base stat]] totals (though {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Kyurem}} do not with the other members of their trios). All of the trios have a [[trio master|master]] who created them and/or is somehow able to exert control over them.

==Trivia==
* The [[lake guardians]] is the only trio whose members are all the same type. However, the [[legendary birds]] and the energy dragon trio share secondary types.
* The Lake guardians are the smallest sized trio among these groups.
