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

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

It is often viewed as the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|leader]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

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

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

According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was adopted by an elderly couple with no children. Pecharunt fed its adoptive parents Binding Mochi to secure their affection, which brought out their inner greed. They made many requests of Pecharunt, who gave them what they requested to be showered with further attention. The couple eventually asked for four shining masks, which could only be found in Kitakami. Pecharunt left to obtain the mask, recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti to aid in its quest. They successfully stole three masks from {{ga|Ogerpon}}, who defeated the Loyal Three in retaliation; Pecharunt only survived by going dormant within its shell. It would not surface found again until hundreds of years later when a [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] awoke it.

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

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the ends of the Loyal Three's toxic chains.
* The signboards that tell the legends of Kitakami show an image depicting a human child chasing a large monstrous ogre alongside the Loyal Three. While a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if this child was their trainer, it is likely instead a reference to or even a depiction of Pecharunt leading the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|Poison}} type (''doku'' is Japanese for "poison").
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]]:
** That is Poison type, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
** To have been introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Whose English name is different from its Japanese name.
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Pecharunt, like the [[Loyal Three]], seems to share a thematic tie to the number {{wp|8|eight}}. This may be because the character ''8'' looks like a set of chains, reflecting its [[signature move]], {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It may also be because eight is considered a lucky number in many Asian cultures, including Japanese, which aligns with the trio's naming convention and role. Additionally, 88 can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for やばい ''yabai'', which can mean "terrible" or "dangerous", referencing its true malevolent nature. It can also be read as goroawase for ぱちぱち ''pachipachi'', the sound of clapping, referencing the outer shell it hides in closing around its body.
** All of its stats are 88, except for Defense, which is 160, a multiple of 8.
** At the end of Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt can be caught at level 88.
** Malignant Chain, its signature move, has a maximum PP of 8.
** It is damaged normally by 8 types.
** There are 8 complete chains Pecharunt uses to bind the Loyal Three: Okidogi has three in its scarf, Munkidori has one in its headband, and Fezandipiti has four in its belt.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{ga|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses Ogerpon against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

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

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

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also make it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. Given its moniker of "Never-Rotting Peach", it could also be based on the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers. Its habit of acting like a baby to gain the sympathy of people is similar to the behavior of certain {{wp|yōkai}} like the {{wp|Konaki-jiji}}. Pecharunt may also draw inspiration from the [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%BA%E5%BD%A2%E7%A5%9E ''hinnagami''], a doll-shaped yōkai that will grant its owner's wishes but will always demand more and more requests, and that will possess their owner until their death. Pecharunt's myth shows how its adoptive family became greedier over time, and the Loyal Three are all said to have had a wish granted by Pecharunt. ''Hinnagami'' are built using soil from a graveyard, which could also contribute to Pecharunt's Ghost type.

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

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

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

'''Poppy''' (Japanese: '''ポピー''' ''Poppy'') is a member of [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] region. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series==
Poppy is first introduced to the player by [[Rika]] after they have won four [[Badges|Gym Badges]]. Although she is far younger than the rest of the Elite Four, as well as Paldea's [[Gym Leader]]s, Poppy is considered one of the strongest Pokémon Trainers in the [[region]]. She is normally sweet and good-natured, but becomes competitive during battles; because of her age, she refers to her Pokémon with childlike nicknames. After the player becomes a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Poppy watches their battle against [[Nemona]] in [[Mesagoza]].

'''Penny''' (Japanese: '''ボタン''' ''Botan'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
Penny is a student at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and is in the same grade as the [[player character]]. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the Academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].

===★ Starfall Street ★===
Her secret identity is '''[[Cassiopeia]]''', the "big boss" of Team Star; none of the squad bosses (and grunts) know of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She witnesses the player defeat two [[Team Star Grunt]]s in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star, and comes up with the idea of Operation Starfall. Afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the Academy because of their involvement in the team but unable to forcibly disband the group herself, she recruits the player character into Operation Starfall to make them stand down.

After the player has defeated all five squad bosses, Penny, under the persona of Cassiopeia, invites the player to meet at the Academy's schoolyard after dark, where she revealed that she was Cassiopeia and Team Star's "big boss". Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks [[Clive]] to record the battle with his [[Rotom Phone]] for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

A flashback after her defeat showed her last conversation (a year and a half ago) with the squad bosses, via a call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being, and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

After the flashback, Penny thanks the player and Clive for successfully helping her during Operation Starfall. When asked by Clive why she couldn’t forcibly disband Team Star on her own, Penny explained that the strict code she and the squad bosses created stated that no member of Team Star had the right to order anyone around, the squad bosses had to accept challenges and give away their Star Badges when defeated, hence, forcing them to step down as squad boss. When asked by Clive what the squad bosses meant to her, Penny wholeheartedly replied that they are her "greatest treasure".

Seemingly touched by Penny's story, Clive thanks her for her appraisal of the situation with Team Star. Clive proceeds to reveal that he, too, was under a false persona, and is actually the Academy's director, [[Clavell]], much to Penny's apparent shock. Clavell explained that he wanted to talk to the Team Star members on equal terms, without them feeling the pressure of speaking to a faculty member, much less the Academy's director.

Clavell proceeds to call all the squad bosses ([[Giacomo]], [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], [[Ortega]], and [[Eri]]) out onto the schoolyard, much to Penny's surprise, and she emotionally recalls their names as they greet her with equal emotion. The squad bosses perform Team Star's signature hasta la vistar ★ pose and happily exclaim in unison: "Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ★ And hello, Penny!"

Clavell apologises to Team Star for his unawareness of the bullying they suffered from, since he joined the Academy as its director without witnessing any incidents of bullying. He declares that Team Star could continue to exist, should its bosses want to, and they should also be punished for breaking multiple school rules during their period of truancy. As punishment, Clavell assigns Penny and the squad bosses to manage the newly founded Star Training Centers (STCs) as staff members. Upon hearing, the squad bosses marvel over Team Star not disbanding and being able to spend time with their "big boss" and dear friend at the Academy and STCs.

Clavell dismisses Team Star's bosses and calls the player to his office to thank them for allowing him to help resolve Team Star's situation. Penny arrives shortly after to apologise for illegally hacking the [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]]'s [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward the player and Clavell for helping her during Operation Starfall, and feels that she should be punished more heavily than the others. Clavell decides that he should consult [[Geeta]], the Paldea Pokémon League's chairwoman, for the matter, and dismisses the player from his office.

Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the Academy building, and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that, instead of her name.

When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and her came up with the hasta la vistar ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she wouldn’t be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she did some volunteer engineering for them, as a talented child hacker, which she agreed to do.

Finally, Penny thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the Academy and gives out {{TM|169|Draco Meteor}} as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with almost any requests they may have, and this allows the player to recruit Penny into the group, along with [[Arven]] and [[Nemona]], which seeks to find [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|Turo]] {{sup/9|V}} in the [[Zero Lab]]. She bids the player farewell with a hasta la vistar ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

===Post-game===
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, using the [[Pokémon Trainer]] Trainer class instead of [[Team Star (Trainer class)|Team Star]].

==Trivia==
* Penny is the youngest villainous team leader from the [[core series]].
* Penny's Student ID at the Academy is 803B121.
* Penny's home is in the [[Galar]] [[region]].<ref name="galar"/> Her hair resembles the colors on the box art of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* All of Penny’s Pokémon are [[Eeveelutions]], this makes her the first and only notable Trainer in the games to have a full team of six Eeveelutions.
* Penny considers her family to be "unbelievably annoying". She refers to her dad, who gives her nicknames such as "Pen-pen", as "loud and clingy" and "the most annoying guy in the world". In this aspect, she is similar to [[Peonia]], who considers her father, [[Peony]], with similar disdain.
** Penny shares other similarities with Peonia. Both seem to originally come from the Galar region; Penny's non-English names come from ''{{wp|Paeonia × suffruticosa|tree peony}}'' or ''{{wp|Paeonia}}''; Penny wears an Eevee backpack while Peonia's earrings resemble a female {{p|Pikachu}}'s tail (the two mascots of {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}).
* Penny's dorm room at the academy contains multiple references to the the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, different Pokémon species, and various real-world products, including [[Nintendo]] consoles.
** Penny's dorm contains multiple empty instant food packages, including {{wp|cup noodle}}s, {{wp|energy drink}} cans, and cereal boxes.
** There is a shelf filled with magazines, three of which have covers picturing the [[Game Boy]], the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and what appears to be a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
** There are three posters in her room, depicting {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Palafin}}, and {{p|Cetitan}}, as well as a magazine with a Pikachu on the cover.
** There is a {{wp|manga}} volume on a wardrobe, depicting a superhero that bears a resemblance to {{p|Magikarp}}.
** A framed photo of the [[Team Star]] logo can be seen above Penny's desk.

TechSkylander1518: Grammar felt a little weird

[[File:Ash Unova Badges.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} with his Badges from [[Unova]]]]
A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge'') is an item that serves as proof of a [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s victory in a battle against a [[Gym Leader]].

Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial [[Pokémon journey]] by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

==Development==
[[File:Early Badges.png|220px|thumb|Early artwork]]
A selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges can be seen in early character artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It appears that the original concept of Badges was more similar to an {{wp|embroidered patch}} than the {{wp|Badge|pinned badge}} they are portrayed as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble Badges seen in the final game like the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Cascade Badge]], the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even the [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], others don't appear to be based on anything, and may have only been made for the sake of aesthetics, much like real-life embroidered patches, such as Red's "[[Media:Red Green Red.png|Leaf]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|Badge]]" or Silver's "[[Media:Gold Silver Silver.png|Artsy Badge]]".

Other instances of embroidered "Badges" can be seen in the cover art for the ''Games That Stand Out Collection'' magazine, with the male Trainer's [[Media:Magazine boytrainer.png|rock or diamond]] badge and the female Trainer's [[Media:Magazine girltrainer.png|teardrop]] badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge. However, given the nature of this illustration (the designs were made specifically for this cover and weren't intended to be used in the franchise<ref>[https://imgur.com/FFLW01B The scan of the interview page with English translations newly annotated]</ref>), it is likely that these designs were chosen randomly. The latter Badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was most likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of water.

==Effects==
===Stat boost===
In [[Generation]]s I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5%; in [[Generation III]], the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost does not exist from [[Generation IV]] onward.

In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up). In Generation II, if the attack is a [[critical hit]] and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored.

| style="background:#fff" | Plain Badge
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Dynamo Badge
|}

Note that in Generation I, the game states that the Thunder Badge raises Speed and the Soul Badge raises Defense, but these are not the actual effects caused.

===Type boost===
In [[Generation II]], every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying type); despite the Viridian Gym no longer having a type theme in Generation II, the Earth Badge boosts Ground-type moves.

These boosts work similarly to the way [[same-type attack bonus]] (STAB) boosts work, and are, in fact, calculated in-between [[Weather|weather modifiers]] and STAB. Just like stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles.

===Obedience===
{{main|Obedience}}
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. [[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the player has.

In the anime episode ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned this when [[Ash's Charmeleon]] refused to obey him.

===Catch level limit===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] [[wild Pokémon]] above a certain level without appropriate Badges. Such uncatchable wild Pokémon are described as being "very strong-looking" upon encounter, and attempting to use a Poké Ball displays the message, "You can't throw a Poké Ball! It won't let its guard down!"

===HM moves===
{{main|HM}}
While Trainers can teach their Pokémon [[HM]] moves and use them in battle, Trainers require the appropriate Badge to use them in the overworld in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|IV}} as well as [[Generation VI]]. In [[Generation V]] only, Badges are not needed to use HM moves in the overworld.

===Poké Mart stock===
From Generation IV onwards, the number of Badges a Trainer possesses affects which items [[Poké Mart]]s sell. The more Badges, the more items that become available for purchase, with more expensive items generally appearing after more Badges are obtained.

===Pokémon League===
In the games, in order to enter the [[Pokémon League]] and challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player must have all eight Badges from that region (in the case of the [[Indigo Plateau]], either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]; for [[Paldea]], only the Badges earned from the Gyms are accepted by the League, as the others are unofficial designs merely meant to resemble the proper Badges). In [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and Generation I, III, and VII Kanto, Badges are checked individually through a series of Badge Check Gates; in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and Generation II and IV Kanto, Badges are checked all at once.

==List of Badges==
===Indigo League===
In Generation IV, these badges do not affect stats.

|}

===Sinnoh League===
When Badges are touched in the games, they play a single note, and will make a musical {{wp|C major|C major scale}} when all eight Badges are collected. When a player rubs the stylus across them numerous times to polish them (as they gradually tarnish), they will begin to shine. This process can be continued until four sparkles are visible. The musical notes are also the most clearly defined and accurately tuned when there are four sparkles.

Unlike other generations, it is the number of Badges that determines which [[outsider Pokémon]] [[Obedience|obey]] the Trainer, rather than the Badges themselves (this distinction is important because the order in which the Cobble, Fen, and Relic Badges are obtained differs between Diamond/Pearl and Platinum). For every second Badge the maximum level of obeying Pokémon increases (0 Badges—level 10; 2 Badges—level 30; 4 Badges—level 50; 6 Badges—level 70; 8 Badges—level 100). The number of Badges collected also affects the items that the player can purchase in [[Poké Mart]]s.

{{bdg|rock|Coal|コールバッジ|Coal|Roark|Oreburgh City|oa=[[Byron]]|hm={{m|Rock Smash}}|It is shaped like a boulder and a {{i|Poké Ball}} combined. It also resembles [[Roark]]'s hard hat, or possibly a treasure chest.}}

{{bdg|ice|Icicle|グレイシャバッジ|Glacier|Candice|Snowpoint City|hm={{m|Rock Climb}}|It is shaped like an iceberg or two icy mountains.}}
{{bdg|electric|Beacon|ビーコンバッジ|Beacon|Volkner|Sunyshore City|hm={{m|Waterfall}}|It is shaped like a lighthouse.}}
|}

===Unova League===
Unlike previous Badges, the level at which traded Pokémon will obey the player goes up by ten per Badge, rather than the previous system of rising twenty levels after every even-numbered Badge. They can be polished like Sinnoh's Badges, although they do not make different notes when polished at the same level. Instead, the picture of the Gym Leader from whom the Badge was earned gets grayer.

In Black 2 and White 2, the Badges no longer dull over a period of time, and Sinnoh's notes were reintegrated into the Badge screen.

Although Badges are not required to use any of the [[HM]]s outside of battle, some HMs cannot be obtained until after obtaining certain Badges. However, as they are not required, traded Pokémon that have learned an HM move in another game can still use the HM move before acquiring any Badges.

===Paldea===
{{Incomplete|section}}
Unlike in previous games, where Badges can only be obtained through defeating [[Gym Leader]]s, Badges in [[Paldea]] can be obtained by progressing through the three storylines in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. There are a total of 18 Badges to collect: 8 Gym Badges from the Victory Road storyline (which involves defeating Gym Leaders as in previous games), 5 Star Badges from the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline (which involves defeating [[Team Star]] Bosses), and 5 Titan Badges from the Path of Legends storyline. Only the Gym Badges are officially recognized by the [[Paldea League]]; the Star Badges were crafted by the leaders of each of [[Team Star]]'s five squads as symbols of authority within the group, and the Titan Badges were crafted by [[Arven]] to commemorate the defeat of the five Titans of Paldea.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the player must earn five Badges from PML Leaders across [[Pasio]] before they can qualify for the [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Kanto Gym Badges anime.png|thumb|left|250px|The Kanto Gym Badges in the anime]]
[[File:Ash Iceberg Badge.png|thumb|250px|Ash holding the Iceberg Badge]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Badges signify that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} has succeeded at a particular [[Gym]]. If a Trainer earns eight Gym Badges in one [[region]], they are eligible to enter that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]].

Trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a Badge, and Gym Leaders can be quite lenient about giving out Badges. For example, {{Ash}} was awarded several Badges during the [[original series]] because of his kind heart and determination; {{an|Misty}} has berated Ash on several occasions because he did not properly earn all of his Kanto Badges, arguing that he really only earned three Badges (the Thunder, Soul, and Volcano Badges) and the other five Badges were given to him on technicalities. In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', the [[Sunyshore Gym]] was shown to be handing out free Beacon Badges. The [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned that some Pokémon will not [[obedience|obey]] their Trainer if they do not respect them, due to their Trainer lacking in Badges. For example, after evolving into Charmeleon, [[Ash's Charmander]] began to disobey him, which was only exacerbated upon evolving again into Charizard.

In [[Kalos]], due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four [[Kalos League]] Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|reprogrammed the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.
[[File:Gardenia and Forest Badge.png|thumb|250px|Gardenia holding the Forest Badge]]
Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten Badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games. However, Trainers only need eight to qualify.

It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). {{an|Brock}} has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in [[Cerulean City]].

Additionally, Badges are not the only way to enter the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|academy|boarding school}} for Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children, where moving up a grade is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in Kanto's League Conference. Alternatively, Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that grants entry to the Indigo Plateau Conference on its own; it is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

====Alternative Badges in the anime====
[[File:Many Unknown Kanto Badges.png|thumb|220px|Badges in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'']]
So far, Ash has only obtained Badges that are obtainable in the games, with the notable exception of those he obtained in the Orange Archipelago. Several unknown Badges can be seen at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', while many Trainers Ash has met have had Badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that there are Gyms in locations which do not appear in the games and therefore more than eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with Badges not seen in the games include:

=====Gary=====
{{Gary}} acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a fixed number of Badges that can be given out in a particular region. By ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he is shown to have at least ten Badges, only three of which correspond to known Kanto Badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen Gyms in Kanto. Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 [[type]]s at the time.

=====Otoshi=====
In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a Trainer named [[Otoshi]] is shown in the episode ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight Badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another Trainer is seen with eight other completely different Badges altogether. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi, and the other Trainer display 27 different types of Badges, so there must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region. However, [[Sakura]], a Trainer on her journey, was shown to be collecting Badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the specific rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's Badges each look somewhat similar to Ash's Badges and only differ in size and shape. Similarly, what can be identified as a Soul Badge, Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his {{p|Marowak}} knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His Badges are in this order from upper-left to bottom-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same Badge.

=====Morrison=====
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'', [[Morrison]] was shown to have an eighth Badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least nine Gyms in Hoenn.

=====Mismagius=====
In {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', Ash has many Badges that haven't been on-screen before, as well as some older Badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the Badges seen don't exist at all.

=====Barry=====
In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', {{an|Barry}} was shown to have three Badges. While the Forest Badge and the Mine Badge are no different, Barry has a third Badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh Badges. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Barry was revealed to have obtained eight Badges already, two more of which are different. This means that there are at least 11 Gyms in Sinnoh. The same unknown red Badge that Barry owns is shown at the end of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

=====Nando=====
In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', [[Nando]] was revealed to have acquired seven Badges, two of which are unknown. These two Badges are the same as two of Barry's unknown Badges.

=====Trip=====
In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', [[Trip]] revealed all five of the Badges he had collected, three of which are unknown and not seen in-game.

=====Cameron=====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', {{un|Cameron}} revealed all seven of the Badges he collected, four of which are known and three of which are unknown. Two of those unknown Badges are the same as Trip's. Since there are 10 Badges in Unova in the games (due to two of them being replaced in Black 2 and White 2), this means that there are at least 14 Gyms in Unova.

=====Sawyer=====
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', [[Sawyer]] stated that he had earned one Badge. Later, in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', he was revealed to have earned four more Badges, including three unknown ones, respectively resembling a flame, three bubbles, and a pair of wings. This means there are at least 11 Gyms in Kalos.

====Non-Gym Badges====
Several Badges have appeared in the anime that are not official Gym Badges.

In the [[Indigo League]], Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that can grant them entry into Indigo Plateau Conference on its own, thus replacing the requirement to collect Gym Badges. It is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

During the closing ceremony of [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], all participants are awarded the Pokémon League Badge. However, it is only referred to as a Badge in the [[dub]].

For helping the [[band of Diglett thieves]] with their facade, the [[mayor of Diglett Village]] awarded Ash and his friends with the [[Silver Wing]] Badge.

The Trainers who defeat [[Ryuki]], the {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Leader}} of the unofficial [[Kantonian Gym]], get a novelty Badge featuring his face.

==In the manga==
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Ash Kanto Badges EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Kanto Badges]]
[[File:Ash Orange Islands Badges EToP.png|thumb|left|150px|Ash's Orange League Badges]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Badges work in a way similar to the anime, but there are some minor differences. All Badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech ("Class D", "Class C", and so forth). Badges increase the rank of the Trainer who owns them. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, but this was not the case.

Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually match known Badges, and another three are lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four Badges from the Orange Islands, but none of them match any known Badges.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hoenn Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Sapphire's Hoenn Gym Badges]]
[[File:Sinnoh Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Platinum's Sinnoh Gym Badges]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed allow the wearer to control even [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Articuno}}.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge made of different material than the kind given out to normal Trainers, as that is how the [[Masked Man]]'s identity was narrowed down to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when [[Aibo]] scraped off a part of his hidden Badge with his {{m|Scratch}} attack.

[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined Articuno, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single beast}}. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning [[Cerise Island]] into a giant Badge energy amplifier to fuel {{p|Lugia}} with.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals. This ruling was introduced during a [[Pokémon Association]] meeting in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, to give Trainers incentive to challenge Gym Leaders, and remove the perception of Badges being seen as tools for evil. In the {{chap|Black & White}}, a last-minute advancement of the date of the Unova League tournament also restricted the eligible challengers to those with all eight of the region's Badges. In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed that a Trainer must gather a new set of eight Badges if they wish to participate in a Pokémon League tournament again.

Six [[Pokédex holder|main characters]] have actively been collecting Gym Badges: {{adv|Red}}, who managed to collect seven Kanto Badges (missing the Earth Badge); {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Platinum}}, and {{adv|Black}}, whom managed to collect all of the Badges in their respective regions; {{Henry}}, who currently has six [[Galar]] Gym Badges; and {{Casey}}, who managed to collect four Galar Badges before losing her [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Other characters have also gathered Badges, such as {{adv|Cheren}} and [[Hop]]. {{adv|Blue}} once competed for and won a Boulder Badge, but wasn't seen trying to obtain the other Kanto Badges. {{adv|Silver}} once stole a Badge from each Gym in Johto in order to gain access into the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], but later returned them to their respective Gym Leaders.

==In Pokémon Live!==
[[File:Diamond Badge.png|thumb|The Diamond Badge from [[Pokémon Live!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Live!]], {{an|Giovanni}} offered the Diamond Badge to Trainers who would be able defeat his [[MechaMew2]]. He gave {{Ash}} the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash would never win. However, Ash defeated Giovanni with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to {{an|Misty}} as a belated [[birthday]] gift. Pokémon Live! is not in continuity with the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series.

==Trivia==
[[File:The Final Badge DVD.jpg|thumb|150px|The Earth Badge's design in the anime]]
[[File:Earth Badge.png|thumb|150px|Official artwork of the Earth Badge]]
[[File:Legend Badge slot.png|thumb|200px|The original Badge slots in Ash's Unova Badge case]]
* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial error in naming the Badges in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh.
* Official artwork of the Earth Badge (featured in media such as Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue and [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]]) differs significantly from its appearance in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The design in its official artwork resembles a plant, whereas its other design resembles a feather.
* [[Paldea]] has the most Badges out of any region, at 18, although only eight of those are Gym Badges.
* The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than eight Badges.
* It is possible to obtain certain Badges in a non-linear order. The most notable example of this are the Badges in the [[Kanto]] region.
** In Generation I and III, the Thunder Badge, Rainbow Badge, Soul Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge can be obtained in almost any order the player desires, with the stipulation that the Soul Badge must be obtained before the Volcano Badge, as the Soul Badge is required in order to use Surf on the field, which, in turn, is required to reach Cinnabar Island where the Volcano Badge is obtained.
** In Generation II and IV, the Badges can be obtained in virtually any order, although in [[Generation IV]] the player cannot obtain the Earth Badge until obtaining the other seven.
** In Generation VII, the Boulder and Cascade Badges must each be obtained to progress to the next Gym, and [[Viridian Gym]] (Earth Badge) is closed until the player has obtained all seven other Badges. Other than these restrictions, the Badges can be obtained in any order.
** In [[Generation III]], the Knuckle Badge can be postponed until after the Heat Badge, but must be obtained in order to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The Feather Badge is not required until challenging the Elite Four.
*** In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, this is no longer the case, because the southern part of {{rt|120|Hoenn}} is blocked until the player obtains the Feather Badge.
** In [[Generation IX]], the different Badges can be acquired in virtually any order as part of the open world design.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Earth Badge is the only Badge that doesn't allow the use of an HM outside of battle, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is the only Kanto Badge that does.
* The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto Badges, explaining the colors in its design.
* In the code of the [[Generation I]] games, [[List of unobtainable items|items]] named for each Badge can be found. The items named '''BoulderBadge''' and '''CascadeBadge''' allow players to throw bait and rocks, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the {{safari|Kanto}} when used in battle. The other "Badge Items" have no known purpose, simply displaying Professor Oak's "This isn't the time to use that!" message when trying to use them.
* The Basic Badge is the only Badge to be given out by more than one Gym.
* The Rising Badge is the only Badge the player receives outside of its respective Gym.
* The Legend Badge is the only Badge from a from a region where {{Ash}} has competed for Gym Badges that has not appeared in the anime.
** When Ash initially got his [[Unova]] Badge case in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', the slots in it were made to fit each Badge in Pokémon Black and White, but they later became circular to accommodate the Toxic Badge.
* Ash has not won a Badge in the same episode as his first encounter with its respective Gym Leader since earning the Dynamo Badge from [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watts with Wattson?]]''.
* The Rain Badge is the only Badge that Ash has earned twice, first earning one from [[Juan]] in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', and later receiving a second one from [[Wallace]] after defeating him in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.
* In [[Alola]], [[Gym]]s and Badges are not present. Instead, the player receives [[Z-Crystal]]s for completing their trials and grand trials, which replace Badges on the [[save]] file and for unlocking new items at the [[Poké Mart]] (the latter for Z-Crystals from trials only). Additionally, grand trial completion Stamps are used to ensure [[obedience]].
** However, in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player can receive an unofficial Badge known as the [[Surge Badge]] by defeating the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]]. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese name are direct references to the Thunder Badge, while its English name is also a reference to [[Lt. Surge]].
* [[Galar]] is the only region with version-exclusive Gym Badges.

===Name origin===
* Several {{t|Ice}}-type badges have caused a line of naming conflicts, starting with [[Mahogany Gym]]'s Glacier Badge ({{tt|アイスバッジ|Aisu Bajji}} ''Ice Badge'').
** [[Snowpoint Gym]]'s Icicle Badge is originally called the {{tt|グレイシャバッジ|Gurēsha Bajji}} ''Glacier Badge''.
** [[Icirrus Gym]]'s Freeze Badge is originally called the {{tt|アイシクルバッジ|Aishikuru Bajji}} ''Icicle Badge''.
** Conversely, [[Circhester Stadium]]'s Ice Badge{{sup/8|Sh}} has its English name conflict with the Japanese name of the Glacier Badge. (Its own Japanese name {{tt|こおり|Kōri}} is the Japanese ''translation'' of "ice", rather than a transcription of the English word.)
* With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all Badges in Kanto and [[Johto]] were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All [[Hoenn]] League Badges keep their Japanese names, as do [[Sinnoh]] League Badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, as mentioned above.
** The Japanese names of the Kanto Badges are all colors, following the color pattern for the town and city names. In the case of [[Celadon City]], the Rainbow Badge is likely a reference to the city's namesake in Japanese being the {{wp|Chrysochroa fulgidissima|jewel beetle}} with its wings featuring an iridescent appearance.
* The Trio and Insect Badges are the first Badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without there being a localization conflict between the Japanese and English versions.
** The Insect Badge is one of two badges whose English name coincides with the Japanese name of a pre-existing badge, in this case the Hive Badge. The other is the Ice Badge, mentioned above.
* All Badges in Galar are named directly after their corresponding [[type]]s.
** Consequently, both Galar and [[Kalos]] have a Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ), making them the only Badges to share a name with each other in both English and Japanese.
* The Storm Badge's English name may be derived from the {{wp|lucha libre}} wrestler {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}—also the inspiration for [[Crasher Wake]]—whose name translates as "Friar Storm".

[[File:Ecruteak City GS.png|220px|thumb|Ecruteak City in Gold and Silver]]
'''Ecruteak City''' (Japanese: '''エンジュシティ''' ''Enju City'') is an old-fashioned city located in northern [[Johto]], situated in the woods between tall [[Mt. Mortar]] and the open fields near Johto's western shores.

As with many of the larger cities in the [[Pokémon world]], Ecruteak has a [[Ecruteak Gym|Pokémon Gym]], led by [[Morty]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and hands out the {{Badge|Fog}} to those who defeat him.

Ecruteak is known as a historical and mythical city; fittingly, its buildings all feature traditional Japanese architecture. The tallest building in the city, and perhaps all of Johto, is the ten-story [[Bell Tower]] in the city's northeast corner, built nearly a millennium before the events of the games. The city is known as being a centerpoint of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] native to the Johto region, with the great {{p|Ho-Oh}} once being said to have roosted atop the Bell Tower, and having created three [[Legendary beasts]] of the Pokémon who perished when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned down.

==Slogan==
===Generation II===
'''''A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present''''' (Japanese: '''むかしと　いまが　どうじに　ながれる　れきしの　まち''' ''The city where present and past concurrently flow in history.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''A Historical City''''' (Japanese: '''れきしが　ながれる　まち''' ''The city where history flows.'')

==Places of interest==
===Ecruteak Dance Theater===
The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the {{player}} the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} in [[Generation II]], after defeating the Kimono Girls, and in [[Generation IV]], after defeating a rude {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}. In Generation II, the player can freely choose their order of facing Kimono Girls. In Generation IV, the player battles them in a fixed order, having to defeat all five consecutively.

[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|245px|thumb|Promotional artwork by [[Midori Harada]] for HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
===Ecruteak Gym===
{{main|Ecruteak Gym}}
The Ecruteak Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Ecruteak City. It is based on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Morty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Fog}}.

In {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the {{player}} cannot challenge [[Morty]], the Ecruteak Gym Leader when they first arrive in Ecruteak City, as Morty has gone with his friend [[Eusine]] to the [[Burned Tower]], searching for signs of the [[Legendary beasts]]. When the player awakens {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the Burned Tower, Morty returns to the Gym, allowing for him to be challenged.

The Ecruteak Gym is designed as a sort of maze, where one wrong step off the right path will send a challlenger back to the beginning. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym has an invisible path leading to Morty and passing several Trainers. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the path is visible but the Gym is largely shrouded in darkness. Flames light up certain points in the path, including around Trainers, but once the player defeats a Trainer, their light will go out.

===Burned Tower===
{{main|Burned Tower}}

{{sign|DPcity|title|Burned Tower}}
{{sign|DPcity|It was destroyed by a mysterious fire.|}}
{{sign|DPcity|Please stay away, as it is unsafe.|}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer|}}

The sad remains of this once-great tower, in the northwestern corner of the city, are all that is left after a fire engulfed it 150 years before the events of the games. It was once as majestic as the [[Bell Tower]] to the east, with the two towers representative of where Pokémon awakened and where they slept.

According to some legends, {{p|Lugia}} once perched on this tower; however, others place Lugia as always living in the [[Whirl Islands]]. Three [[Legendary beasts]] make their home in the basement of the tower, given new life after it burned down by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who once perched atop the Bell Tower.
{{ga|Silver|The player's rival}}, exploring the area, will challenge the player a third time when they arrive here.

The Barrier Station to Bell Tower is a grand, red-roofed gatehouse located in the north of Ecruteak City, at the end of the city's wide main street. This [[gate]] houses three {{tc|Sage}}s, collectively called the '''Wise Trio''' (Japanese: '''３にんしゅう''' ''group of 3 men''). It serves to prevent the player proceeding to [[Bell Tower]] until they have the {{badge|Fog}}. In {{game|Crystal}}, the three Sages battle the player before allowing passage. Past the station is Ecruteak's Bellchime Trail and Bell Tower.

Bellchime Trail is a short path in the northeast of Ecruteak City connecting it to the [[Bell Tower]]. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is a separate save location within Ecruteak City; in Pokémon Gold and Silver, it was unnamed and part of the same map as Ecruteak City's main area.

===Bell Tower===
{{main|Bell Tower}}
A majestic tower to the east, the Bell Tower is where {{p|Ho-Oh}} was once said to roost. With the [[Rainbow Wing]], the player is able to prove to Ho-Oh that they are a pure-hearted person who will bring Pokémon and people back into harmony with one another.

On the first floor, {{p|Suicune}} lingers in {{game|Crystal}}, awaiting the player's arrival with a Clear Bell.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
Ecruteak City's population is 31, making it the third-largest city in [[Johto]].

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
Ecruteak City's population is 44, making it the fourth-largest city in [[Johto]], behind [[Goldenrod City]], [[Violet City]], and [[Olivine City]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Ecruteak City JN.png|thumb|250px|Ecruteak City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ecruteak City first appeared in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' and ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived there for Ash's next Johto Gym {{pkmn|battle}}. On their way, they encountered a street artist and {{tc|Firebreather}} named [[Infernando]], who tried to sell them a "[[Dowsing Machine|Treasure Detector]]", but they declined the offer. When [[James]] later encountered him as well, he gladly bought the detector with the money he had been supposed to spend for food.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends wandered into the [[Burned Tower]], mistaking it for the Ecruteak Gym. After they experienced some trouble with the local {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, Morty arrived at the site and cleared everything up, then informed the group that the place was in fact once called the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], a nestling ground for the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Ho-Oh}}. When the tower burned down during a fight over Ho-Oh's power, the Rainbow Pokémon fled, never to be seen again, even though a new Tin Tower was built nearby in hopes that this would someday happen. Upon seeing a picture of Ho-Oh, Ash instantly recognized it as the mysterious Pokémon he saw on [[EP001|the day he started his journey]], although Morty didn't seem to believe him. After dealing with {{TRT}} trying to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} once again, Ash and Morty agreed to have a Gym battle. The battle was conducted during the next day, where Ash, using his {{AP|Noctowl}} as his ace, managed to pull through and win himself the {{badge|Fog}}. Morty also admitted that Ash might have indeed seen Ho-Oh like he claimed.

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', before heading to [[Olivine City]], Ash and his friends encountered the Kimono Sisters. The youngest of the sisters, [[Sakura]], struck a friendship with the group, and wondered if she should start traveling with them. Eventually, however, she decided to train on her own before embarking on her own [[Pokémon journey]].

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Ash and his friends returned to Ecruteak City on their way to [[Mahogany Town]], and encountered the Kimono Girls again, finding out that Sakura had evolved her {{p|Eevee}} into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}. By the end of the episode, Sakura finally embarked on her own journey to collect Badges. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the group met [[Eusine]], a friend of Morty's and a pursuer of the Legendary Pokémon {{OBP|Suicune|recurring}}. Upon finding out that Ash had seen Suicune, he accused him of lying and tried to challenge him to a battle, but the match was interrupted when {{t|Bug}} Pokémon started going wild around the city due to Team Rocket having stolen and accidentally broken one of the four [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bells]]. While dealing with the trio of thieves, the group came face to face with Suicune itself. Eusine attempted to battle the Legendary beast, but the Aurora Pokémon easily escaped by using {{m|Roar}} on Eusine's {{p|Alakazam}}.

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Ecruteak City was the current location of [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]]. In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', it was featured in {{an|Lyra}}'s presentation of the Johto region during the [[Johto Festival]].

In ''[[JN009|Finding a Legend!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] visited Ecruteak City to investigate the Ho-Oh sightings made there. However, it turned out that the sighted "Ho-Oh" was just a disguised {{p|Fearow}} belonging to a boy named [[Chad]], who desperately wanted his grandfather [[Jaye]] to see Ho-Oh so that he could regain his fate of its existence. With Goh's advice, they started climbing the Bell Tower, but they were caught in illusions created by a {{TP|Goh|Misdreavus}} and a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Stantler}} until Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} them. At the top of the tower, they started waving Jaye's [[Rainbow Wing]] around and calling for Ho-Oh to appear. Though their calls didn't seem to work, the Rainbow Wing started glowing in response to a rainbow appearing in the sky. When they started to leave, Jaye managed to get a view of Ho-Oh flying in the distance, though the others didn't see it.

===Pokémon Generations===

[[File:Ecruteak City past PG.png|thumb|250px|Ecruteak City in the past in Pokémon Generations]]
Ecruteak City made a brief appearance in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} attacked a trio of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Wooper}} swimming in a river. However, since they were {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}} didn't hurt them at all. The Wooper then counterattacked with {{m|Mud Shot}} just as {{p|Lugia}} flew by, knocking Pikachu into the air.

Ecruteak City reappeared in a major role in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]''. Eusine was seen visiting the Burned Tower, all the while going through the story of how the tower originally burned down, killing the three nameless Pokémon that {{p|Ho-Oh}} then resurrected in the form of the [[Legendary beasts]]. Unexpectedly, {{p|Suicune}} showed up, allowing Eusine to look at it for a few seconds before leaving. Despite the encounter being very brief, Eusine felt hopeful that the Legendary beasts were probably starting to regain their faith in humanity.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Ecruteak City Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Ecruteak City in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Ecruteak City appeared in ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', where it was the setting for the [[Kimono Girl]]s' performance detailing the history of the city's two towers and the Legendary Pokémon that lived on them.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Ecruteak City Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Ecruteak City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Ecruteak City debuted in ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', where the entire city was caught up in a giant earthquake. [[Jasmine]], who was on her way to meet the [[Day-Care Couple]] at {{rt|34|Johto}}, got caught up in the devastation and ended up getting trapped in rubble. In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} noticed the light sent up by Jasmine's [[Amphy]] and rescued her, also coming to realize that the {{m|earthquake}} had been caused by a trained Pokémon. The Pokémon in question was revealed to be a {{p|Piloswine}} used by a group of [[Team Rocket]] members, including the two {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}} [[Carl]] and [[Sham]]. With their combined efforts, Gold and Silver were able to defeat Team Rocket and force them to retreat. It was later revealed that Team Rocket had destroyed the city in an attempt to make {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}} appear. The city was later rebuilt under Jasmine's supervision.

From ''[[PS130|Suddenly Suicune I]]'' to ''[[PS132|Suddenly Suicune III]]'', {{adv|Crystal}} battled against {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}} at the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in the hopes of {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it. Although she managed to hit it with a [[Heavy Ball]], Suicune ended up getting away, marking the first time Crystal had ever failed to catch a Pokémon. As a result of this shock, she became unable to catch any Pokémon at all.

In ''[[PS141|Hello, Lickitung]]'', [[Lt. Surge]] met [[Morty]] outside the [[Ecruteak Gym]], wanting his help in finding Gold and Silver, who had gone missing after a battle against the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Using his powers, Morty was able to tell the two [[Pokédex holder]]s were currently at the [[Whirl Islands]].

In ''[[PS152|Buzz Off, Butterfree!]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} was revealed to have unintentionally released the {{adv|Legendary beasts}} from their imprisonment at the [[Burned Tower]]'s basement during the rebuilding project.

In ''[[PS153|Oh, It's Ho-Oh!]]'', the Masked Man arrived in Ecruteak City, having sensed that Ho-Oh would return that very day. He confronted the [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the sky over the Tin Tower and declared that it would become his slave once more, as it had been nine years earlier. Ultimately, he succeeded in catching Ho-Oh, forcing it to become his servant again.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Gold traveled to Ecruteak City to ask Morty about [[Lance]]'s whereabouts, first stopping by at the Kimono Dance Theater in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]'' to watch the [[Kimono Girl]]s perform, before heading to the Ecruteak Gym. In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', Silver also arrived at the Gym, seeking Morty's help in finding the [[Plate]]s scattered around Johto.

In ''[[PS451|It Takes Xatu to Tango]]'', the Ecruteak Gym was destroyed by {{adv|Arceus}}. Gold proceeded to pursue it as it fled, while Silver used the information given to him by Morty to start gathering the Plates.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
[[File:Ecruteak City Golden Boys.png|thumb|200px|Ecruteak City in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]
In ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]'', {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] arrived in Ecruteak City and attended the [[Pokémon Summit]], a battle event held at a dome built on the former site of the [[Burned Tower]]. However, the event was interrupted by an attack by [[Team Rocket]]. Fortunately, the three [[Legendary beasts]] appeared and prevented Team Rocket from destroying the dome, although the event was still cancelled due to this incident.

In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Gold attempted to challenge Morty, but he refused to let Gold into his Gym with only two [[Badge]]s. Gold started battling against Whitney to get a Badge from her, but [[Whitney's Miltank]] suddenly collapsed. It turned out that it had caught a deadly disease that had been troubling the local {{p|Miltank}} as well and could be only cured with a large amount of {{Berries}}. Morty joined them in collecting the Berries on {{rt|38|Johto}}, saving Miltank's life. Out of gratitude, Whitney gave Gold a {{badge|Plain}} and returned his {{TP|Gold|Pikachu}} to him.

In ''[[GB14|Let's Fight! The Mini Pokémon Tournament]]'', Gold tried to challenge Morty again, only to find out that he was leaving the Gym for a while and thus was unable to battle him. As such, Morty chose to give Gold a {{badge|Fog}} for free and told him to keep it at least until they could have a proper Gym battle.

==Trivia==
{{incomplete|section|Add image of Ecruteak City from HGSS's intro cutscene, displaying the red version of the Barrier Station}}
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|150px|The screenshot of Old City in the fan book]]
* During the pre-release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, [[Game Freak]]'s '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック''') from 1997 hinted at a location containing {{wp|Japanese architecture|traditional Japanese buildings}} called '''Old City''' (Japanese: '''オールドシティ'''). This was likely a prototype of Ecruteak City.
* In the [[game intro|intro]] cutscene of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Barrier Station is missing the sign and has a red color scheme, unlike in normal gameplay.
* An unused house in [[Olivine City]] features an [[non-player character|NPC]] that claims that a pharmacist in Ecruteak made medicine for her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As the pharmacy is actually in [[Cianwood City]], this suggests that it was originally planned for Ecruteak City during the development of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** Unused early maps of Ecruteak City also hint at the [[Magnet Train]] running through it as well, possibly instead of through [[Goldenrod City]]. The reason they may have considered this could have to do with the fact that {{wp|Kyoto}}, the city that Ecruteak City is based on, is an intermediate stop on the real-world {{wp|Tokaido Shinkansen}}, which inspired the Magnet Train.
* [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|The soundtrack of HeartGold and SoulSilver]] reveals that the {{wp|kanji}} for ''Enju'' is 縁寿, meaning "longevity of a relationship".
* Due to the fact that the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] has eyewitnesses that the player can talk to, this would make some residents over 150 years old.
* In the {{pmin|France|French localization}} of {{game|Crystal}}, the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} are named {{wp|Kenshiro|Ken}}, {{wp|List of Fist of the North Star characters#Shu|Shuu}}, and {{wp|Raoh}}, referencing the manga {{wp|Fist of the North Star}}.
* A painting of Ecruteak City is on display in the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

'''Poltergeist''' (Japanese: '''ポルターガイスト''' ''Poltergeist'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
Poltergeist deals damage if the target is holding an item, after displaying the message "[target] is about to be attacked by its [item]!" If used when the target is not holding an item, the move fails.

If used on a Pokémon weak to Ghost-type moves holding a [[Kasib Berry]] or a [[Weakness Policy]], or Pokémon a holding a [[Red Card]], Poltergeist will still do damage after the item has been consumed, but the item in question still takes effect.

==Description==

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.}}

TechSkylander1518:

[[File:SwSh Party.png|thumb|250px|Viewing a party in {{g|Sword and Shield}}]]
A '''party''' or '''team''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|手持|ても}}ちポケモン''' ''Pokémon on hand'') is a group of up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} carries with them.

After this team of six is filled, newly-acquired Pokémon are sent to a [[PC]] or equivalent to be stored. Trainers may have any Pokémon in their party, and newly [[caught Pokémon]] will automatically fill empty slots in the party. Some games have the [[Pokémon Box Link]] system, allowing players to change their party at almost any time. Other games require players to travel to a [[Pokémon Center]], base camp, or another PC-enabled place to access the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or equivalent.

==In the games==
The interface used to manage a player's party is known as the '''Pokémon List''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリスト''' ''Pokémon List'').

===In battle===
When entering a [[Pokémon battle|Single Battle]], the first Pokémon that has not [[fainting|fainted]] in the party list is the one that will be drawn first. For [[Double Battle]]s, the first two Pokémon that have not fainted in the party list are the ones that will be drawn first by the Trainer. Likewise, the first three Pokémon that have not fainted in the party will be sent out first when entering a [[Triple Battle]] or [[Rotation Battle]]. If there are not enough conscious Pokémon to battle, then the {{player}} will simply be unable to participate in the battle. During battle, if "Shift" is selected in [[Options]], Trainers can switch the participating {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with another in the party when one of the opponent's Pokémon are defeated. This is not the case during Double Battles, Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, the [[Battle Tower]], and other similar areas.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:HGSS Party Photo.png|thumb|220px|A photo of {{ga|Ethan}} with his party in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
All Pokémon in a Trainer's party will slowly gain [[friendship|trust towards them]] as the Trainer walks around. Every 256 steps, the party Pokémon gain friendship. Also, if there is an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the party, it will slowly hatch according to steps taken. Different Eggs take different amounts of distance, but to hatch they must be in the party. Eggs cannot participate in battle, therefore a Trainer may only carry a maximum of five Eggs at a time.

Some {{Abilities}} have an {{cat|Abilities with field effects|out-of-battle effect}}, and these can only be activated if they are in a Trainer's party. Most of these Abilities only work outside of battle when the Pokémon with the Ability is leading the party.

If any Pokémon in the party are suffering from [[Pokérus]], it can spread along the party, including Eggs. However, Pokémon in the party will recover from Pokérus after [[time#night|midnight]].

===Interface===
Viewing the party in the [[menu]] will display their name, icon, current [[HP]], [[status condition]], and [[level]] in all games. From the party, it's possible to visit the Pokémon's [[summary]]. When not in battle, it's also possible to give or take a [[held item]] (from [[Generation II]] onwards), and also change the order of the Pokémon in the party.

====Generation I====
In the [[Generation I]] games, there was no [[gender]]{{tt|*|Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀ and their evolutionary relatives exempt}}, and so this is absent. Also, on the Pokémon summary screens, there are only two screens: Stats and [[Move]]s. The Moves section only shows the name, and the [[PP]] of each move. The icons were extremely limited, and the only Pokémon that had its own, unique icon was {{p|Pikachu}} (in {{game|Yellow}} only).

====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], the icon range became higher than in Generation I, although it still remained low. The screen was colored similarly to Pokémon Yellow, with all Pokemon icons sharing a common palette.

New to the party screen were a box-like icon obscuring the lower left quarter of a Pokémon's own icon if the Pokémon was [[held items|holding an item]] (if the item in question was [[mail]], the icon looked like an envelope instead) and a "Cancel" item.

The Moves section of the summary allowed switching orders and power to be shown along with [[type]]. [[PP]] was still visible, and the party screen itself kept the same format. In {{game|Crystal}}, some Pokémon got unique party sprites, such as {{p|Snorlax}}.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], the party screen was overhauled, now with the first Pokémon on the left. Each and every Pokémon had its own unique icon, and all in color. The Pokérus status is visible on the party, unless another status condition is present. The Moves section is again updated, with a page for [[Pokémon Contest]] properties, such as [[Appeal]] and [[Jamming|Jam Points]], and another for the moves when used in battle. The battle moves now show [[accuracy]], [[power]], type, and added effects. However, Shiny Pokémon do not show the alternate colors in the party screen.

====Generation IV====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the party screen is changed again, showing the party Pokémon from left to right and top to bottom. All other things stay similar, with unique icons, but it adds condition to the summary pages. The party can also be viewed through the [[Pokétch]], to see either [[HP]] and items, or [[friendship]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the party screen is essentially the same as in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, however, it is moved to the bottom screen. The Pokémon that leads the party [[Walking Pokémon|follows]] the player around, like {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow}}.

====Generation V====
In {{v|Black and White|s}}, the party screen is now fully able to interact with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen, by being placed on the bottom of the screen. It functions similarly as it did in previous games. The player can view the back sprite of a Pokémon by tapping it while viewing information on it. Sliding the stylus up and down or left and right causes the Pokémon to jump, and drawing circles around the Pokémon makes it levitate.

====Generation VI====
In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the party screen is almost the same except Pokémon in party are now always jumping unless fainted, in which fainted Pokémon just sit still. While all Pokémon have their unique icons updated, these icons are no longer animated. Sprites were replaced by models (players can no longer view the back but by tapping it causes it to perform one of the Pokémon's species-based attack animations instead), can move from one Pokémon to another by sliding the stylus or tapping the Poké Balls located on the right of the summary screen, can move from one item to another by sliding the stylus and no longer drawing circles around the Pokémon to levitate.

Additionally, Pokémon with field moves display an icon like that of a TM or HM that opens the Pokémon option list with the field moves expanded, Pokémon can be switched by touching a Pokémon until it detaches from the grid or by touching a swap button and using either quicker drag-and-drop or button navigation and items can be moved more easily by pressing an item swap button. Both the item swap and the Pokémon swap must be disengaged using the back icon or B button before the menu can be closed. The party Pokémon can be seen and interacted with by using both [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]], but the party order is not affected by them.

In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the contest move effects page returned, with [[contest condition]] displayed on the upper screen.

====Generation VII====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, the party screen works almost the same as it does in Generation VI. The ability to drag a Pokémon to move it remains, along with the ability to swap items. However, Pokémon placement can be done by pressing the Y button. The X button no longer closes the menu, as it is replaced with swapping held items around party members instead. A Pokémon's EVs can be seen by pressing the Y button on their status screen. Pokémon can have their Markers changed to both blue and pink colors within this screen. Their Ability and Held Item descriptions can be viewed by pressing a blue circle with an "i" next to it via touch screen. Ribbons can still be viewed, although Contest stats from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have been removed, due to the lack of Pokémon Contests in the games. Having been completely abandoned as a mechanic, field moves can no longer be selected or used.

Party Pokémon can be interacted with and healed in [[Pokémon Refresh]], replacing Pokémon-Amie. This can be done after battles to heal status conditions and groom the Pokémon. The Pokémon currently sent out in battle will be the first one to appear in Refresh. Otherwise, it will always be the Pokémon in the front of the party.

In {{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the party screen is displayed in a more horizontal manner, with Pokémon organized in two rows of three, instead of two columns. From these games onwards, Pokémon icons are no longer restricted to the same size, and some of the icons (mostly those of fully evolved or Legendary Pokémon) were replaced with larger ones.

====Generation VIII====

In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, the party screen reverted to its original form, with the entire party presented as a single column. The rest of the screen displays the Pokémon's moves if shown in battle, otherwise its model is shown. If a Pokémon is holding an item, the item's specific icon is shown instead of a generic box.

In {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pokémon and item icons have been redrawn in a higher resolution.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Pokémon are shown as portraits instead of icons. [[Held items]] are not shown, being completely absent in this game. New to the party screen are Poké Ball icons which glow when a Pokémon is ready to evolve, experience bars with points required to level up, as well as markers specific to Alpha Pokémon. The party can appear on two different screens: outside of battle, it shares a screen with the [[bag|satchel]], with items on the left and the party on the right; during battles, it is possible to switch to another screen, where the party appears on the left, while the right side of the screen lists the moves the currently selected Pokémon can use.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bea full team.png|thumb|250px|[[Bea]] and six of her Pokémon, forming a party]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can only carry six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at a time just like in the {{pkmn|games}}. When a Trainer catches a new Pokémon while having a full party, the new Pokémon cannot be used until the Trainer switches it with a Pokémon currently in the party. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', the Poké Ball of {{Ash}}'s newly-caught [[Ash's Kingler|Krabby]] teleported away, while in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', the Poké Ball in which Ash captured his brand-new [[Ash's Leavanny|Sewaddle]] simply shrank and locked itself with a red light until he had switched out one of his other Pokémon. In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', however, [[Goh]] was seen immediately sending out his newly-caught {{p|Cubone}} despite having six Pokémon on hand, suggesting that there are no strict party limits outside of {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', similar to [[Pokémon GO]].

Unlike in the games, it is possible for Trainers to carry an {{pkmn|Egg}} while they have a full party of six Pokémon with them. This was seen in the [[original series]] when {{Ash}} traveled with {{AP|Larvitar}} while he had a full party already. (This might, however, have been because Larvitar was never ''officially'' Ash's Pokémon, as he never actually caught it in a Poké Ball.)

In this [[canon]], official battles between Trainers usually involve each person using the same number of Pokémon. For example, most [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s require both the [[Gym Leader]] and the challenger to use the same number of Pokémon. There is also a battle variation known as a [[Full Battle]], in which both Trainers are required to use all six Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Showcase]]s, {{pkmn|Performer}}s are allowed to use up to six Pokémon while delivering a Freestyle Performance, although this was never shown.

==In the manga==
[[File:Emerald Adventures Party.png|thumb|250px|{{adv|Emerald}}'s party in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], there are technically no limits to how many Pokémon a Trainer can have on hand beyond what the Trainer can physically carry. However, Trainers are still limited to a maximum of six Pokémon for official battles, such as in the [[Pokémon League]]. In ''[[PS119|A Flaaffy Kerfuffle]]'', {{adv|Professor Oak}} explained that the [[Pokémon Association]] determined six to be the ideal maximum at which a Trainer could give all Pokémon on hand sufficient care and attention.

The concept of a full party of six Pokémon was brought up in ''[[PS402|Besting Buizel II]]'', where [[Crasher Wake]] told {{adv|Pearl}} that he should catch an additional two Pokémon to fill out his team of four before confronting [[Team Galactic]]. Pearl's full team was revealed by the end of [[PS403|the next round]].

==Trivia==
* Assuming there are 898 unique Pokémon species known, if any Pokémon can only appear once in a party of 1 to 6, there are 721,075,636,720,323 possible parties.
** Assuming the party contains 6 unique Pokémon, there are 716,236,263,669,472 possible parties.

'''Stealth Rock''' (Japanese: '''ステルスロック''' ''Stealth Rock'') is a non-damaging {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[TM76]] in Generation IV, and [[TM56]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is [[TR76]] in [[Generation VIII]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Stealth Rock sets an [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]] around the target Pokémon. Pokémon on the target's field receive damage upon switching in. The amount of damage inflicted upon switching in is affected by the effectiveness of {{t|Rock}} against the target. It also does not stack if multiple layers are set. It does not damage Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Magic Guard}}. {{m|Rapid Spin}} removes Steath Rock from the user's side of the field if it affects its target; {{m|Defog}} removes the effect of Stealth Rock from the target's side of the field if it affects its target.

The damage is taken from the victim's maximum [[HP]], and follows:
{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{rock color light}}; border:3px solid #{{rock color}}"
! Type effectiveness
! Damage (Max. HP)
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 0.25×
| 3.125%
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 0.5×
| 6.25%
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 1×
| 12.5%
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 2×
| 25%
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 4×
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 50%
|}

As {{p|Castform}} {{a|Forecast|transforms}} after entry hazards take effect, Castform only takes 12.5% damage, regardless of the weather.

===Generation V===
Stealth Rock can now be reflected by {{m|Magic Coat}}.

===Generation VI onwards===
{{m|Defog}} now clears Stealth Rock from both sides.

Stealth Rock is unaffected by [[strong winds]]. In an [[Inverse Battle]], Stealth Rock uses the inverted weakness and resistance to Rock to calculate damage.

Stealth Rock can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Circle Throw}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Roar}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}} to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Any Pokémon that appear after calling for help during [[SOS Battle]]s are subject to Stealth Rock.

If powered up by a [[Rockium Z]] into Z-Stealth Rock, it will raise the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage.

Using {{m|G-Max Stonesurge}} will set up Stealth Rock on the target's side of the field.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Stealth Rock is a [[physical move]] that deals direct damage with a base power of 40. It also leaves the target with {{status|splinters}} for 4 turns (Strong Style), 2 turns (Agile Style) or 3 turns (otherwise).

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Stealth Rock has 20 PP. The user creates a [[dungeon tile|Stealth Rock]] trap underneath them, as long as it's a land tile that is neither stairs nor Kecleon carpet. The trap will remain invisible until it's triggered. Any Pokémon that triggers a Stealth Rock trap will receive damage equal to ⅛ of their maximum HP, regardless of the type matchup. The trap cannot be laid in hallways and the entrance of a room. This move is affected by {{m|Taunt}}.

Template talk:TypeEffectiveness

2022-05-05T08:56:19Z

TechSkylander1518: /* Supressed abilities */

I can't see any check for Pokémon who lost their Normal-type in favor of Fairy-type (such as Togetic or Clefairy), so they're no longer immune to Ghost-type. They were before that, though. [[User:Uploader|Uploader]] ([[User talk:Uploader|talk]]) 11:21, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but [[X and Y]] has just come out and not many people would have it. They would need the type effectiveness of other gens.

[[User:KogaEliteFour|KogaEliteFour]] ([[User talk:KogaEliteFour|talk]]) 11:26, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Lightningrod redirect ==

The two occurences of ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightningrod|000}}</nowiki>'' should either be replaced by ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}) or ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

== Special moves ==

This should have Flying Press and Freeze Dry. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 21:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
:The pages for those moves have the appropriate tables. the Freeze Dry page probably could use separate tables for when it's been affected by Normalize or Electrify like the Flying Press page does, but I don't really see a need to change the template itself. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:20,2/16/2014 (UTC)

== Primal Abilities ==

The template should be edited at some time to include immunity notes for {{a|Desolate Land}} ({{t|Water}}) and {{a|Primordial Sea}} ({{t|Fire}}). - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

== Filter ==

Unlike {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, Filter is the only Ability of Mega Aggron. We may need to reflect that... (But then again, that means Mega Aggron's default weakness to Fire, Fighting and Ground is 1½; that doesn't seem to be a number we can currently set). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
:Bump. Also, on that note, all pre-G6 Steel types have notes that erroneously ''always'' state "Generation II-Generation V", even if the Pokémon did not exist in some of these Generations. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 17:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
:By the way, there's also fact there doesn't seem to be a immunity removal note for former Normal-types turned into pure Fairy-types (like Clefairy or Snubbull). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:34, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Wonderguard ==

In the section for Wonderguard, shouldn't it be added that when Shedinja looses the Abilty, not only are Fighting and Normal the only types that still don't hit, but it also has ½× against Grass, Poison, Bug & Ground? - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 12:13, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I thought about this, and I'm going to say this is not necessary. Shedinja is the only Pokémon who normally gets Wonder Guard. While virtually all 721 Pokémon are capable of having it (for instance, a Pokémon activates Trace to get it, then uses Entrainment on any Pokémon), that is something better covered at the Wonder Guard page itself, not in a brief type effectiveness table note; we're not putting this note under all 721 Pokémon with notes of which types are immunities for each species, only under Shedinja where it really doesn't change anything. If another natural Wonder Guard species appears one day, it might be worth noting then. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

== Iron Ball ==

If a Pokémon that is weak to ground and is flying (i.e. Emolga) is given an Iron ball, it correctly states that they take 1x damage in gen 5 and 2x damage in gen 6 from ground. However, it also states by default that they take 2x damage in gen 4. For some pokémon this isn't a problem (like Zapdos) because they were in gen 4, but for others such as Emolga that were added later it seems odd that their type chart mentions gen 4 when they didn't exist at the time. [[User:Tigertomd|Tigertomd]] ([[User talk:Tigertomd|talk]]) 03:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

== Generation VII ==

Since it's now Gen VII, the chart should be edited to display the current generation instead of Generation VI. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 00:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Shouldn't this template (along with [[Template:Ability/head|this other one]]) have subpage divisions like [[Template:Learnlist/levelh/7|the learnset one]]? Because at is it, it's pretty confusing already with so many notes and specific exceptions at the footer. Having specific tables for each generation (which could be its own subpage) would be far easier to read, and in the case of ability tables, accurate, since some abilities don't even match between games, like {{p|Torkoal}}'s. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 07:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

== {{m|Magic Powder}} effect ==

Someone should add the note when a Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} as its Ability is affected by {{m|Magic Powder}}:

''If this Pokémon is affected by {{mcolor|Magic Powder|000}}, only {{typecolor|Bug}}, {{typecolor|Dark}}, and {{typecolor2|Ghost}} moves will cause damage to this Pokémon.''

[[User:Wrrasba|Wrrasba]] ([[User talk:Wrrasba|talk]]) 12:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
==Supressed abilities==
Is there a way to note that type effectiveness changes if a pokemon's ability is suppressed? For example, [[Aggron (Pokémon)#Mega Aggron 2|Mega Aggron]]'s ability is [[Filter]] and the type chart reflects this by saying that super effective moves are 1.5x effective. However, it doesn't mention that those are 2x weaknesses if its ability is supressed or replaced. [[wk:User:Pinkyoshifan|---]][[User:PinkYoshiFan|Pink]][[User talk:PinkYoshiFan|Yoshi]][[Special:Contributions/PinkYoshiFan|Fan]] 23:54, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
:Adding on to PinkYoshi's point here, Mega Venusaur is a similar case, where its only possible ability affects its type effectiveness. There is a way to include notes, but abilities are usually entered as "maybe", where the note will say "If this Pokemon has this ability...", or "yes", where the note will say "If the opponent has Mold Breaker...". For whatever reason, Filter and Thick Fat are only given "maybe" notes, not "yes" notes. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 08:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Pokémon Baccer World Cup

2022-01-11T02:56:27Z

TechSkylander1518:

[[File:Baccer World Cup Stadium.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon Baccer World Cup stadium]]
[[File:Baccer World Cup Stadium field.png|thumb|250px|The field of the stadium]]
The '''Pokémon Baccer World Cup''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバッカーワールドカップ''' ''Pokémon Baccer World Cup'') is a sporting event introduced in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. The most current one was held in [[Crown City]].

==Rules==
Pokémon Baccer is a game played on a circular shaped pitch, which has two slopes (colored red and blue) placed across it. The object of the game is for either of the two teams of three Pokémon to try to knock a spinning-top shaped object into a pyramid that is floating around the stadium. For every goal that is scored, one point is awarded to the team, and the highest-scoring team when the time runs out wins the match. All of the teams are three-stage evolution families which have a member in each evolutionary stage, except the Nimbasa Legends, which, although it was a fraud, were also related to each other as the [[Legendary beasts]].

==Known teams==
===Coronet Fighters===
[[File:Coronet Fighters fans.png|thumb|The Coronet Fighters fan club|200px]]
A team that specializes in {{p|Magnemite}} and its evolutions. The team's Pokémon theme and name come from [[Mt. Coronet]], which is where {{p|Magneton}} evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}. Several fans, such as [[Peg]], are seen in the film, and they have a special fight song and logo. In the credits, they play against a team without a known name that features the {{p|Shinx}} evolutionary line.

===Jubilife Reds===
[[File:Jubilife Reds Trainer.png|thumb|The Trainer of the Jubilife Reds]]
A team that specializes in {{p|Elekid}} and its evolutions. The team's name comes from [[Jubilife City]]. In the prologue, they play against the Cianwood Greens.

The Jubilife Reds made a cameo appearance in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', where they were seen once again playing against the Cianwood Greens.

===Cianwood Greens===
[[File:Cianwood Greens Trainer.png|thumb|The Trainer of the Cianwood Greens (right)]]
A team that specializes in {{p|Beldum}} and its evolutions. The team's name comes from [[Cianwood City]]. The team's Beldum has developed a special dribbling technique to evade opponents attempting to steal the ball from it. In the prologue, they play against the Jubilife Reds.

The Cianwood Greens made a cameo appearance in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', where they were seen once again playing against the Jubilife Reds.

===Nimbasa Legends===
[[File:Baccer Kodai.png|thumb|Grings Kodai in Pokémon Baccer footage]]
A team that specializes in the [[Legendary beasts]], entered by [[Grings Kodai]]. The team's name comes from [[Nimbasa City]]. The team was the most popular team due to it containing [[Legendary Pokémon]]. However, the Legendary beasts were simply illusions created by Kodai's technology.

TechSkylander1518: Grammar

The development of [[Poké Ball]]s has gone through a number of stages, as evidenced by the ancient and historical variants of the modern Poké Ball that have been seen in the anime.

==In the games==
===Apricorn Poké Balls===
Before modern techniques, Poké Balls were made from hollowed out [[Apricorn]]s.

When the [[Sinnoh]] region was first being settled, Poké Balls were made of a combination of wood and Apricorns, and a firework was set off from their tops when Pokémon were caught.

===Drayden's childhood===
According to [[Drayden]] in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, when he was a young boy, Poké Balls didn't exist yet. It is unknown if he means they hadn't been invented at all, or just hadn't made their way to the [[Unova]] region.

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

==In the anime==
===Ancient history===
====Pokémopolis====
[[File:Pokémopolis Paintbrush uncovered.png|thumb|300px|The giant paintbrush unsheathed]]
When Dr. [[Eve]] was exploring the ruins of [[Pokémopolis]] during ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', she discovered a number of old artifacts. A handful of these relics contained ancient, [[giant Pokémon]], and so can be seen as forerunners to the contemporary Poké Ball. These objects were named by a stone tablet that had inscribed on it the legend of [[Pokémopolis]]. The "Unearthly Urn" and accompanying spoon contained a giant {{p|Alakazam}}, which, to activate, one had to insert the spoon into the Urn. It appeared that the Alakazam could do this autonomously from within the Urn using its psychic powers. The "Dark Device" contained a giant {{p|Gengar}}. It is unknown what initiated its release. Finally, the giant paintbrush/bell that was discovered contained a giant {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and was activated by the {{m|Sing|song}} of a regular-sized {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

====Pokélantis====
[[File:Pokélantis myth.png|thumb|300px|{{an|Brandon}} telling the erroneous myth that the King trapped {{p|Ho-Oh}} in the orb]]
A relic that looks very similar to a contemporary Poké Ball was discovered in the [[Pokélantis|tomb]] of the [[King of Pokélantis]]. It was revealed during the course of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' that it contained the spirit of the King, possibly indicating an alternate use for Poké Balls in ancient times. It was erroneously rumored that the orb contained a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which would have made it much more similar to a modern Poké Ball.

===Recent history===
====Sir Aaron's staff====
Featured in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the crystal in [[Sir Aaron]]'s staff was used "hundreds of years ago" to contain his apprentice {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}. This can be seen as a forerunner to the contemporary Poké Ball. The ubiquitous Poké Ball design can be seen in other places in the beginning of the movie, but it is unknown what they relate to.

====Giant stone Poké Ball====
[[File:Ancient Claydol text.png|thumb|300px|The ancient text chronicling the White Sage's encounter with the giant {{p|Claydol}}]]
A giant stone Poké Ball was said in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' to have been created "in olden times" by the White Sage to contain a rampaging giant {{p|Claydol}} which had escaped from an identical stone Poké Ball. It was also said in this episode that this event was contemporaneous with the first creation of Claydol, which is cited as taking place around 20,000 years ago. However, this was read by [[Sigourney]] from an "ancient text" that he had a lot of trouble translating earlier in the episode.

====The Odd Keystone====
The [[Odd Keystone]] can be seen as a Poké Ball forerunner, in that it was used to capture {{p|Spiritomb|a Pokémon}} 500 years ago. In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' an {{OBP|old woman|DP056}} reveals that Spiritomb was defeated and imprisoned by an [[Aura|Aura Guardian]]. The method and reason for the confinement are currently unknown.

====The Captain's Poké Balls====
In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it was revealed that the {{OBP|Captain|EP095}} kept his {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gastly}} inside contemporary looking Poké Balls, approximately 300 years before the present. The old [[Orange League]] [[Winner's Trophy]], which is also more than 300 years old, is featured in this episode as well, and appears to be based on a contemporary Poké Ball design.

Chronologically, these are the first Poké Balls that offer capture and control to the Trainer.

====Lokoko's Poké Ball====
[[File:Composite Lokoko Ball.png|thumb|300px|Aspects of Lokoko's Poké Ball]]
In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]'', [[Lokoko]] was the alter-ego of an elderly {{p|Ninetales}} whose Poké Ball was contemporaneous with a diary that was at least 200 years old. While the style of this ball is quite different from the modern Poké Ball, there is a statue in the same 200+ year old mansion which depicts a modern looking Poké Ball.

This Poké Ball differs from its modern descendant in other ways as well. The button is on the top of the ball rather than on the side, as can be seen top left in the picture opposite. It also lacks the internal mirrors that modern Poké Balls have, as can be seen top right opposite. It is also extremely fragile, as can be seen bottom opposite, as it shattered after simply being dropped, which is an everyday occurrence for a modern Poké Ball, though this is perhaps a consequence of its age. This may also be due to it being modeled from a porcelain handicraft.

</gallery>

====Sam's Poké Ball====
A Poké Ball with a simple capture mechanism can be seen in [[Sam]]'s possession in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', 40 years before the present day. It had a red twist top that needed to be turned to release the Pokémon inside. This Poké Ball fits the description provided by [[Kurt]] of the basic method of turning [[Apricorn]]s into Poké Balls by simply hollowing them out and adding a capture mechanism. Judging by the other older Poké Balls seen in the anime, it is unlikely that this Ball is indicative of all Poké Balls 40 years ago. Therefore, this Poké Ball may have been homemade, cheaply made, hurriedly made, or come from some other source. An alternate hypothesis is that this is an early model of non-Apricorn Poké Ball and that this is the oldest, and therefore most primitive, fully mechanical Poké Ball yet shown.

Sam's Poké Ball has distinct similarities to Lokoko's Poké Ball with the button (or button equivalent in sam's case) on top of the ball rather then opposite the hinge and it's used while gripping the button half rather then 'clasped' in the hand with the hinge in one's palm.

===Controlling items===
There are generally two aspects to a typical modern Poké Ball, capture and control. The majority of the historical devices above capture the Pokémon in question, but generally offer no control over it once it has been released again. The following historical items offer the opposite of this, granting control but not ownership to the holder.

====The Queen's mask and staff====
[[File:Tierra tablet.png|thumb|[[Tierra]]'s tablet that tells the history of the Queen]]
In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves. As soon as the Pokémon went outside her village boundaries, the waves were disrupted, or she lost possession of the staff, the controlled Pokémon would turn against her again.

</gallery>

====Marcus's armor====
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' the antagonist [[Marcus]] controlled a {{p|Bronzong}} and a {{p|Heatran}} with special sets of armor. Much like the Queen's mask and staff, the controlled Pokémon would turn against the controller as soon as the effects were no longer being felt and the Pokémon were outside of their control.

<gallery>

====Blue, Red, and Jade Orbs====
{{main|Colored orbs}}
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the [[Red Orb]] controls {{p|Kyogre}} and the [[Blue Orb]] controls {{p|Groudon}}. According to [[Lance]], ''"The Red Orb was created long ago by evil people to control ancient Pokémon and use them as weapons..."''

The [[Jade Orb]] does not make an appearance in the anime, but presumably would have some effect on {{p|Rayquaza}}. The Generation III Bag descriptions of these items state that they "contain an incredible power from ancient times". Whether or not this means these Orbs have been around since ancient times is unknown.

[[Archie]] invokes the Red Orb with the words "Convey our will to Kyogre, great Red Orb, and allow this great power to be released now".

A side effect of the use of the Orbs is possession. During these episodes, {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Archie]] become possessed by the energy inside the orbs.

====Red Chain====
{{main|Red Chain}}
The Red Chain is used by [[Cyrus]] to take control over the legendary Pokémon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} so as not to reduce their power by capturing them in a Poké Ball.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White 2}}

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック２''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト２''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are [[Nintendo DS]] games that are the second and final [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation V]]. They are sequels to {{game|Black and White|s}}, respectively. These games are enhanced on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] families.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012, in North America on October 7, 2012, in Australia on October 11, 2012, in Europe on October 12, 2012 and in South Korea on November 8, 2012.

The games feature [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|two new forms]] of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[game mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem for Black 2 and White Kyurem for White 2.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new {{pkmn|Champion}} are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|expanded]] to include Pokémon that are foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The {{player}}—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Though filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected.

Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded can the player continue their journey to the Pokémon League.

After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will.

==Blurb==
Two powers combine...A new legend arises! Set off on a new Pokémon adventure to save the Unova region! You and your Pokémon can accomplish anything together!

==Changes from Pokémon Black and White==
===Gameplay===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
** [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Easy Mode]] are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing Trainers respectively.
** A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which reveals flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
* Many TMs and all but {{m|Dive|one}} HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* The [[Move Tutor]]s are back, and as with {{game|Platinum}}, they teach most of the moves that were in that game for [[Shard]]s, but here they all ask for shards of a specific color. They also teach many moves that lost their [[TM]] status, such as {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
* If the player has used a [[Repel]], after its effect wears off, and if the player has more Repels in their Bag, they will be asked if they would like to use another immediately without having to go into the menu.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] and the [[creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Forces of Nature]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred (or, alternatively, they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}). The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|forms]].
* Breeding was changed—the [[Everstone]] now always passes down Nature (if both parents hold Everstone, one parent's Nature is randomly picked).
* All {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will now [[rematch|challenge the player again]] every time the player crosses their line of sight after exiting and re-entering the areas in which they are found.
* [[Hidden Grotto]]es are introduced and scattered all over Unova, giving access to many items and Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, many of which were previously unobtainable.
* {{p|Watchog}}'s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] is changed from 1 Attack to 2 Attack.
* Players can now move held items between Pokémon in their party.

===Storyline===
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 {{i|Poké Ball}}s, the player is given 10 at the start of their journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]]; [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders, respectively.
* [[Bianca]] gives the player a [[starter Pokémon]] in Aspertia City.
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Colress]], who battles the player frequently throughout the story. [[Ghetsis]] is once again the secret mastermind behind the Team, now planning to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]], and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* [[Alder]] is replaced by [[Iris]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}.
* Unlike {{game|Black and White|s}}, neither the game mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers.
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's Fossils.
* Several new Key Items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battle his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game.

===Graphics===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area change indicator has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]].
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations.
* Several moves have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has been redesigned.
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the [[Habitat List]]. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a colored Poké Ball if all of the Pokémon found there have been captured. If all the Pokémon in that particular have been seen, but not captured, a gray Poké Ball will be shown.}}.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible.
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White.
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season.
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* The weather icons have been redesigned and are smaller.

===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}

A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the core series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}

Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Medals===
{{main|Medal}}

Medals is a new type of achievement system. They are obtained from Mr. Medal at any [[Pokémon Center]] and are stored in the [[Medal Box]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Season (mechanic)}}

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Word filter===
The filter that [[List of censored words in Generation V|censors certain words]] in name inputs remains. The restriction on using four numerical digits is removed but only for Box names in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allow for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of [[N's Zorua]], who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Pokémon===
Each game features a Pokédex of {{tt|301|numbered from 0 to 300}} different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

* Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfers Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same [[Global Trade System]] server. Pokémon from [[Generation IV]] games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

However, they are not entirely compatible with Pokémon Black and White as the updated Black 2 and White 2 [[Entralink]] no longer features the ability to travel into another player's "world" and thus Pass Powers are instead earned through minigames that take place in the hubworld. Likewise, a player in Black or White cannot connect with a Black 2 or White 2 player via the Entralink system.

==DSi features==
Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 are DSi-enhanced games, meaning that they have certain features which are only enabled when played on a system in the [[Nintendo DSi]] or [[Nintendo 3DS]] family. These features include the following:

* These games can recognize and connect to {{wp|Router (computing)|router}}s with {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} connections.
* The user-facing camera can be used during [[Xtransceiver]] communications with other players.
* The [[C-Gear]] shows the system power using three bars in a battery icon, rather than two on older Nintendo DS systems.
* The game icon is animated when viewed on the Nintendo DSi or 3DS home screen—the {{i|Poké Ball}} inside the icon wiggles.
* Various menus scroll more quickly (such as the [[Pokédex]] and [[Bag]]), and they take slightly less time to load.
* Japanese versions of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are region-locked, so can only be played on Japanese-region [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems; however, because the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]] do not support region-locking, they can be played on these systems regardless of region. The Korean and Western language releases are not region-locked, so can be played on any Nintendo DS or 3DS system regardless of region.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 a score of 36 out of 40,<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-61912-first-pokemon-blackwhite-2-score/ Famitsu review scores (6/19/12) - Nintendo Everything]</ref> lower than {{2v2|Black|White}}'s perfect grade.<ref>[[n:Famitsu gives Black and White perfect score|Famitsu gives Black and White perfect score - Bulbanews]]</ref> {{wp|IGN}} rated the games an "Amazing" 9.6/10, calling them more "than just a slightly expanded repackaging of the latest generation's core titles (a la Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald or Platinum)" and saying that they feature "a stunning amount of fresh content" over their predecessors,<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/04/pokemon-white-version-2-review Pokémon White Version 2 Review - IGN]</ref> which received a 9.0/10 from the site.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/03/05/pokemon-white-review Pokémon White Review - IGN]</ref> Both Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 hold a rating of 80% on {{wp|Metacritic}}.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/pokemon-black-version-2 Pokémon Black Version 2 for DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref><ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/pokemon-white-version-2 Pokémon White Version 2 for DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref>

==Trivia==
* The localization period for these games was the shortest worldwide of the [[core series]], having lasted about three and a half months for the majority of the translated versions, with 106 days for North America, 110 for Australia, 111 for Europe and 138 for South Korea.
** This would be the last time a core series game would have a staggered release like this due to localization, as every game from {{g|X and Y}} onward would be released simultaneously worldwide.
* These Pokémon games have many differences from the other core series games:
** They are the only games to officially be a direct sequel to a pair of games from the same generation, as well as the only core series games with a number in their title. ({{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were initially advertised to be direct, numbered sequels to [[Generation I]], originally dubbed "Pocket Monsters 2", but this was later changed.)
** They are the only games in which the player's [[hometown]] is a city rather than a town.
** They are the only core series games in which the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is inaccessible before entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
** They are the first core series games in which the [[game mascot]] cannot be obtained without [[trade|trading]] before entering the Hall of Fame.
* These are the last core series Pokémon games with "Version" in their titles, including equivalent terms in other languages.
* [[Koga]] is the only current or former Gym Leader who is not presented in these games.
* The majority of moves with changed animations have a [[Power|base power]] of 100 or higher.
* These are the first Pokémon games with a specific point at which the player is forced to save their game in the main story before entering the Hall of Fame. In this case, the player must save after creating their first movie at [[Pokéstar Studios]].
* Black 2 and White 2 were the final core series games released for the [[Nintendo DS]] system and its redesigned models, the [[Nintendo DS Lite]], the [[Nintendo DSi]] and the [[Nintendo DSi XL]], as well as the final Pokémon games overall released for those systems.
** Black 2 and White 2 are also the final first-party games for the Nintendo DS family of systems.
* While the opening sequence is mostly the same in both games, there are a few differences. Black 2 has Black Kyurem's black silhouette on a dark screen with fog, while White 2 has White Kyurem's white silhouette on a bright screen with fog, after which the yellow crest on Kyurem's head glows and the game's respective logo appears. Later, during the part before {{p|Zekrom}}, there is blue light in the upper left corner in Black 2 and red light in the lower right corner in White 2.
* According to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] and [[Junichi Masuda]], Black 2 and White 2 were created as paired games—instead of the usual single follow-up game—because the development team had a [[Key System|game mechanic]] for which they needed two games.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon-black2-white2/0/0 Iwata Asks]</ref>
* These are the final core series games to feature Pikachu's generic [[cry]]. All future core series games instead use [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice clips for Pikachu's cry.
* Of every game in the core series to support online play, Black 2 and White 2 officially supported it for the least amount of time, at only 1 year, 10 months, and 27 days, due to the shutdown of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Nintendo WFC]] in May 2014.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White 2}}

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック２''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト２''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are [[Nintendo DS]] games that are the second and final [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation V]]. They are sequels to {{game|Black and White|s}}, respectively. These games are enhanced on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] families.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012, in North America on October 7, 2012, in Australia on October 11, 2012, in Europe on October 12, 2012 and in South Korea on November 8, 2012.

The games feature [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|two new forms]] of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[game mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem for Black 2 and White Kyurem for White 2.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new {{pkmn|Champion}} are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|expanded]] to include Pokémon that are foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The {{player}}—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Though filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected.

Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded can the player continue their journey to the Pokémon League.

After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will.

==Blurb==
Two powers combine...A new legend arises! Set off on a new Pokémon adventure to save the Unova region! You and your Pokémon can accomplish anything together!

==Changes from Pokémon Black and White==
===Gameplay===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
** [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Easy Mode]] are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing Trainers respectively.
** A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which reveals flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
* Many TMs and all but {{m|Dive|one}} HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* The [[Move Tutor]]s are back, and as with {{game|Platinum}}, they teach most of the moves that were in that game for [[Shard]]s, but here they all ask for shards of a specific color. They also teach many moves that lost their [[TM]] status, such as {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
* If the player has used a [[Repel]], after its effect wears off, and if the player has more Repels in their Bag, they will be asked if they would like to use another immediately without having to go into the menu.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] and the [[creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Forces of Nature]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred (or, alternatively, they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}). The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|forms]].
* Breeding was changed—the [[Everstone]] now always passes down Nature (if both parents hold Everstone, one parent's Nature is randomly picked).
* All {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will now [[rematch|challenge the player again]] every time the player crosses their line of sight after exiting and re-entering the areas in which they are found.
* [[Hidden Grotto]]es are introduced and scattered all over Unova, giving access to many items and Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, many of which were previously unobtainable.
* {{p|Watchog}}'s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] is changed from 1 Attack to 2 Attack.
* Players can now move held items between Pokémon in their party.

===Storyline===
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 {{i|Poké Ball}}s, the player is given 10 at the start of their journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]]; [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders, respectively.
* [[Bianca]] gives the player a [[starter Pokémon]] in Aspertia City.
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Colress]], who battles the player frequently throughout the story. [[Ghetsis]] is once again the secret mastermind behind the Team, now planning to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]], and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* [[Alder]] is replaced by [[Iris]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}.
* Unlike {{game|Black and White|s}}, neither the game mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers.
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's Fossils.
* Several new Key Items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game.

===Graphics===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area change indicator has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]].
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations.
* Several moves have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has been redesigned.
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the [[Habitat List]]. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a colored Poké Ball if all of the Pokémon found there have been captured. If all the Pokémon in that particular have been seen, but not captured, a gray Poké Ball will be shown.}}.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible.
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White.
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season.
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* The weather icons have been redesigned and are smaller.

===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}

A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the core series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}

Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Medals===
{{main|Medal}}

Medals is a new type of achievement system. They are obtained from Mr. Medal at any [[Pokémon Center]] and are stored in the [[Medal Box]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Season (mechanic)}}

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Word filter===
The filter that [[List of censored words in Generation V|censors certain words]] in name inputs remains. The restriction on using four numerical digits is removed but only for Box names in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allow for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of [[N's Zorua]], who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Pokémon===
Each game features a Pokédex of {{tt|301|numbered from 0 to 300}} different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

* Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfers Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same [[Global Trade System]] server. Pokémon from [[Generation IV]] games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

However, they are not entirely compatible with Pokémon Black and White as the updated Black 2 and White 2 [[Entralink]] no longer features the ability to travel into another player's "world" and thus Pass Powers are instead earned through minigames that take place in the hubworld. Likewise, a player in Black or White cannot connect with a Black 2 or White 2 player via the Entralink system.

==DSi features==
Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 are DSi-enhanced games, meaning that they have certain features which are only enabled when played on a system in the [[Nintendo DSi]] or [[Nintendo 3DS]] family. These features include the following:

* These games can recognize and connect to {{wp|Router (computing)|router}}s with {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} connections.
* The user-facing camera can be used during [[Xtransceiver]] communications with other players.
* The [[C-Gear]] shows the system power using three bars in a battery icon, rather than two on older Nintendo DS systems.
* The game icon is animated when viewed on the Nintendo DSi or 3DS home screen—the {{i|Poké Ball}} inside the icon wiggles.
* Various menus scroll more quickly (such as the [[Pokédex]] and [[Bag]]), and they take slightly less time to load.
* Japanese versions of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are region-locked, so can only be played on Japanese-region [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems; however, because the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]] do not support region-locking, they can be played on these systems regardless of region. The Korean and Western language releases are not region-locked, so can be played on any Nintendo DS or 3DS system regardless of region.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 a score of 36 out of 40,<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-61912-first-pokemon-blackwhite-2-score/ Famitsu review scores (6/19/12) - Nintendo Everything]</ref> lower than {{2v2|Black|White}}'s perfect grade.<ref>[[n:Famitsu gives Black and White perfect score|Famitsu gives Black and White perfect score - Bulbanews]]</ref> {{wp|IGN}} rated the games an "Amazing" 9.6/10, calling them more "than just a slightly expanded repackaging of the latest generation's core titles (a la Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald or Platinum)" and saying that they feature "a stunning amount of fresh content" over their predecessors,<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/04/pokemon-white-version-2-review Pokémon White Version 2 Review - IGN]</ref> which received a 9.0/10 from the site.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/03/05/pokemon-white-review Pokémon White Review - IGN]</ref> Both Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 hold a rating of 80% on {{wp|Metacritic}}.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/pokemon-black-version-2 Pokémon Black Version 2 for DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref><ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/pokemon-white-version-2 Pokémon White Version 2 for DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref>

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Black and White (the basis for a portion of the music in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2), composed by [[Shota Kageyama]], [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Gō Ichinose]], [[Morikazu Aoki]], Minako Adachi, and [[Satoshi Nohara]]. The music is arranged by Shota Kageyama, Hitomi Satō, Gō Ichinose, and Minako Adachi.

{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection}}

The music is arranged by Hitomi Satō and Gō Ichinose, except for less than a tenth of the tracks, which are mostly short sound effects. Notably, Disc 4 of the soundtrack also provides an official release for several tracks exclusive to {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|Platinum}}.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 beta}}

==Pre-order bonuses==
Players who pre-ordered the games from GameStop received a "Preview Guide" which hints at the new features and storyline, as well as explaining the {{Trading Card Game}}. It also includes parts of the animated trailer in a comic book-style format. The guide was released online in the UK.

==Trivia==
* The localization period for these games was the shortest worldwide of the [[core series]], having lasted about three and a half months for the majority of the translated versions, with 106 days for North America, 110 for Australia, 111 for Europe and 138 for South Korea.
** This would be the last time a core series game would have a staggered release like this due to localization, as every game from {{g|X and Y}} onward would be released simultaneously worldwide.
* These Pokémon games have many differences from the other core series games:
** They are the only games to officially be a direct sequel to a pair of games from the same generation, as well as the only core series games with a number in their title. ({{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were initially advertised to be direct, numbered sequels to [[Generation I]], originally dubbed "Pocket Monsters 2", but this was later changed.)
** They are the only games in which the player's [[hometown]] is a city rather than a town.
** They are the only core series games in which the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is inaccessible before entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
** They are the first core series games in which the [[game mascot]] cannot be obtained without [[trade|trading]] before entering the Hall of Fame.
* These are the last core series Pokémon games with "Version" in their titles, including equivalent terms in other languages.
* [[Koga]] is the only current or former Gym Leader who is not presented in these games.
* The majority of moves with changed animations have a [[Power|base power]] of 100 or higher.
* These are the first Pokémon games with a specific point at which the player is forced to save their game in the main story before entering the Hall of Fame. In this case, the player must save after creating their first movie at [[Pokéstar Studios]].
* Black 2 and White 2 were the final core series games released for the [[Nintendo DS]] system and its redesigned models, the [[Nintendo DS Lite]], the [[Nintendo DSi]] and the [[Nintendo DSi XL]], as well as the final Pokémon games overall released for those systems.
** Black 2 and White 2 are also the final first-party games for the Nintendo DS family of systems.
* While the opening sequence is mostly the same in both games, there are a few differences. Black 2 has Black Kyurem's black silhouette on a dark screen with fog, while White 2 has White Kyurem's white silhouette on a bright screen with fog, after which the yellow crest on Kyurem's head glows and the game's respective logo appears. Later, during the part before {{p|Zekrom}}, there is blue light in the upper left corner in Black 2 and red light in the lower right corner in White 2.
* According to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] and [[Junichi Masuda]], Black 2 and White 2 were created as paired games—instead of the usual single follow-up game—because the development team had a [[Key System|game mechanic]] for which they needed two games.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon-black2-white2/0/0 Iwata Asks]</ref>
* These are the final core series games to feature Pikachu's generic [[cry]]. All future core series games instead use [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice clips for Pikachu's cry.
* Of every game in the core series to support online play, Black 2 and White 2 officially supported it for the least amount of time, at only 1 year, 10 months, and 27 days, due to the shutdown of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Nintendo WFC]] in May 2014.

Bittercold

2021-09-27T20:53:02Z

TechSkylander1518:

{{incomplete|needs=More information needs to be added}}
[[File:Bittercold PMDGTI.png|thumb|250px|The Bittercold]]
[[File:Bittercold Core PMDGTI.png|thumb|220px|The Bittercold with its core revealed]]
The '''Bittercold''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|氷触体|ひょうしょくたい}}''' ''Glacial Body''), also known as the '''Great Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大結晶|だいけっしょう}}''' ''Great Crystal''), is a giant ice creature resembling a snowflake which appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] as the final boss in the main story. It dwells in the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire|Glacier Palace's Great Spire]] where it attempts to destroy the world. The Bittercold is not a Pokémon, and is the second of a handful of non-Pokémon beings to appear in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, following the Judge of Darkness.

The {{player}} encounters this creature immediately after battling {{mdc|Kyurem|gti}}. If defeated, the player can re-challenge the Bittercold without having to redo the dungeon. When re-challenged, the Bittercold will also keep the same amount of {{stat|HP}} from when the player was last defeated.

==Role==
{{spoilers}}
{{cleanup}}
While traveling with the Voice of Life, {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, to reunite with their partner, after completing [[Ochre Quarry]] the player is told that the reason Hydreigon brought them to the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world of Pokémon]], along with many other humans, is to destroy the Bittercold, a mysterious lifeform that suddenly appeared and is trying to destroy the world. It has the power to make ice and other objects float, which explains various mysterious phenomena the player witnessed previously. It is protected at the top of the [[Glacier Palace]] by the seer, Kyurem, who obstinately strives to protect the future he sees - even though it is the world's end - by using {{mdc|Munna|gti}}'s gang to stop any humans which come to the World of Pokémon. Hydreigon explains that since the Bittercold is constructed from the negative emotions of Pokémon, any Pokémon that get close to the Bittercold are suffocated by its negative power; however, a human may not be affected by this power.

When the player first arrives in the room where the Bittercold lurks, the wind coming from the Bittercold becomes too much for the player's partner - being suffocated by it, they collapse, unable to fight the Bittercold. Kyurem explains that this phenomenon, known as the Winds of Despair, is what feeds the Bittercold with the negative emotions of Pokémon all over the world.

As the player approaches the Bittercold, they too begin to feel the effects of the Winds of Despair, despite being human. Despite having come so far, the player finds they are unable to take a single step when faced with the Bittercold, even though all the world's hopes are entrusted to them and all are relying on them to save the world. Suddenly, they hear a voice urging them to keep going. Before they have a chance to wonder where this voice came from, they hear another, and another. As the voices of encouragement multiply, they suppress the Winds of Despair and stop the Bittercold from moving. The player's partner states to Kyurem that this shows the world's future can be changed by everyone. The player's strength returns thanks to the power of the many voices of encouragement, and they begin to fight the Bittercold alone.

===First battle===
At the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. This will continue for a few turns, then that battle ends. The player realizes that none of their attacks are even able to scratch the Bittercold, and begins to waver. That moment of hesitation is felt by the Bittercold, and the Winds of Despair return. The player's partner urges the player not to get depressed, and that the power of emotions is strong. But that hesitation not only strengthened the wind, but the Bittercold too, and a purple whirlpool of the wind begins swirling from the top of the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire|Great Spire]].

The screen then shows everyone in [[Post Town]] watching the palace from the top of the hill, and seeing the darkness coming from it makes them wonder if even though they urged the player on, perhaps all hope has already been lost, and that they should give up. But Dunsparce reminds them that not only those in that town, but many others around the world (who can't even see the Glacier Palace) are desperately sending their emotions to the player, and that they should believe in the player and not stop just because they can see the clouds.

Rufflet spots that the purple whirlpool is growing, beginning to panic at the sight. Herdier urges them on, but he wonders to himself why his own words sound hollow, beginning to think that perhaps fate cannot be changed. Back in the Bittercold's room, the player's partner manages to get up, urging the player that despite them being slowly suffocated, they still continued on, so the player must do the same. The player tries very hard to get back up, powered by their friendship with their partner, and then successfully musters the last of their strength to lash out at the Bittercold, cracking its front. The player attacks again and shatters the front part of it, revealing a red core. The darkness around the palace momentarily disappears and a small rainbow appears at the top.

Back in Post Town, the Pokémon notice the rainbow before the Winds of Despair quickly return. Herdier states that despite it being a long time since he last saw it, the rainbow was surely the Rainbow of Hope, a mythical rainbow that instills a strong feeling of hope into any who witness it. Patrat goes off to tell all the other Pokémon about it, and all the Pokémon at the hill, realizing that hope is not yet lost, urge the player to let them see the Rainbow of Hope again. The screen then switches back to the player, who feels everyone's voices of encouragement focused on them again, and strengthened by their emotions, the real battle begins.

===Second battle===
In the second battle, the player will be able to deal damage to the weakened Bittercold. When the player defeats the Bittercold, it shatters and the Winds of Despair dissipate from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again.

Then the player's partner gets back up again, realizing that the player beat the Bittercold, and the palace starts to crack and break apart, falling from the sky, which then starts the ending of the game. The tower is thus destroyed forever; after the main story's ending, it cannot be accessed again.
{{endspoilers}}

==Attacks used==
The Bittercold manipulates the Winds of Despair to perform three different attacks, all of which deal typeless damage and have 99 PP each. They are all called '''[[File:IconKanji2MD.png]]UNUSED''' in the game's code, despite them being used, but the names are not displayed in-game.

* '''[[File:IconKanji2MD.png]]UNUSED''' - Damages {{tt|the player|All opposing Pokémon, if the move is hacked in}} in the room and also causes {{status|confusion}}.

* '''[[File:IconKanji2MD.png]]UNUSED''' - Damages {{tt|the player|All opposing Pokémon, if the move is hacked in}} in the room and reduces {{tt|the player's|All opposing Pokémon, if the move is hacked in}} Attack and Special Attack.

* '''[[File:IconKanji2MD.png]]UNUSED''' - Damages {{tt|the player|All opposing Pokémon, if the move is hacked in}} in the room and reduces the PP of all {{tt|the player's|All opposing Pokémon, if the move is hacked in}} moves by 3 each. This move has the strongest attack power out of all of Bittercold's moves.

==Trivia==
* It is similar to [[Dark Rust]], [[Dark Matter]] and the Void Shadows in that they can be fought, but are not Pokémon.

Pokémon Mystery Club

2021-09-15T04:55:20Z

TechSkylander1518: /* Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire */

[[File:Ken and Mary.png|thumb|250px|Ken and Mary of the PMC]]
The '''Pokémon Mystery Club''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議クラブ''' ''Pokémon Mystery Club''), or '''PMC''', is a duo of two overzealous investigators: '''Ken''' ('''ケン''' ''Ken'') and '''Mary''' ('''メリー''' ''Mary''). They are recurring characters in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
The duo first appeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]''. A spacecraft carrying a group of {{OBP|Clefairy|recurring}} had crashed, and a lone {{p|Cleffa}} had fallen out. Ken and Mary wanted to capture the Cleffa so they could study where it came from. Concerned about what Ken and Mary would do to Cleffa, {{Ash}} had his {{AP|Phanpy}} take care of Cleffa and make sure it got to its spacecraft safely.

The PMC duo were determined, though they were competing against the equally stubborn [[Team Rocket trio]] for Cleffa. Ken and Mary eventually clashed with [[Jessie]] and her teammates in a robot mecha battle. The Clefairy saw an opportunity and promptly recycled the two machines, using the spare parts to repair their damaged spacecraft. {{AP|Pikachu}} sent the PMC and Rocket trio blasting off with a mighty {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Phanpy did its job perfectly, and the Cleffa later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Clefairy so it could get on board the spacecraft as it flew away.

During another mystery, Ken and Mary were investigating the source of {{wp|crop circle}}s in some fields. They discovered the source was actually a {{p|Snorlax}} who went on to squash them as it rolled over in its sleep.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', the PMC traveled to the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] following a meteor strike near [[Volley Town]], in search of another [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Ken and Mary's suspicions were correct, as a {{p|Lunatone}} emerged from the crater site. However Lunatone escaped them the first time by wiping their memories.

They confronted Ash and {{ashfr}} as they were enjoying a meal. Ken and Mary prepared to take [[Brock's Lombre]] away for further study, thinking it was an extraterrestrial Pokémon. However, [[Max]] was quick to point out that Lombre was actually the evolved form of {{p|Lotad}}, and Mary confirmed this with her [[Pokédex]]. The PMC duo were somewhat disappointed, but quickly rushed off in search of Lunatone.

The group and [[Nurse Joy]] did their level best to transport the Lunatone to {{DL|Volley Town|Camerupt Point}} so it could return to space, but the PMC arrived on the scene. Ken and Mary's latest machine blasted the Rocket trio off by exploding, and Lunatone used {{m|Hidden Power}} to send them to their same fate as well. Ken and Mary are never seen again for the entirety of the series.

==Character==
The goal of the PMC is to do whatever it takes to conclusively prove that Pokémon are extraterrestrial lifeforms, which causes them to be motivated into capturing [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|Pokémon species which have relations to outer space]], such as {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Lunatone}} for further study.

Like {{TRT}}, they have a motto but consider themselves to be heroes, despite their dubious methods. Although they don't have Pokémon of their own, they have a variety of scientifically-advanced equipment and gadgets, including bulldozers, jetpacks, robots, rocket launchers, and a [[Pokédex]] that only tells the basic info which they build themselves using tools from the suitcase that Mary carries.

Professor Elm

2021-09-01T07:47:35Z

TechSkylander1518: I brought this up on the talk page and received no response after a couple months- none of Elm's quotes in the games mention abilities, so to list it as his main specialty seems misleading. I rearranged the intro paragraph to put the part about abilities at the end and note it's in only in the anime,

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. He specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]." In the anime, Elm also states he studies unusual Pokémon {{Abilities}}.

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} so that they will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his laboratory in [[New Bark Town]]. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. He also has an aide who assists him in his laboratory.

Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research—to the point that, according to his wife, he sometimes forgets to eat. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], he gives the {{player}} their first [[starter Pokémon]].

In addition to their starter, Elm gives the player various items during the game. After the player hatches {{p|Togepi}} (from the {{pkmn|Egg}} his assistant gives them in the [[Pokémon Center]]{{sup/2|GSC}}/[[Poké Mart]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} in [[Violet City]]), Elm gives them an [[Everstone]]. After the player obtains all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives them a [[Master Ball]]. After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], he gives them a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to the neighboring [[Kanto]] region.

===Pokémon===
====In Generation II====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], Professor Elm will give one of these Pokémon to Trainers:

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

[[File:Professor Elm JN.png|thumb|250px|Professor Elm in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.

Elm was mentioned in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', when [[Professor Cerise]] told Ash and [[Goh]] about his research into Pokémon Eggs. Elm was also seen in a picture in the same episode.

====Character====
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

====Pokémon====

[[File:Professor Elm Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Elm in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS355|Knowledge of the Unown II]]'', both Professor Elm and Joey make a cameo. Elm is seen talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
He is seen in Gold's flashback while Professor Oak gives Gold the task of meeting with [[Lance]] who has information about Team Rocket and their plan of obtaining {{p|Arceus}}.

Professor Elm reappears in [[PMHGSS01]], where he is in charge of the [[Pokéathlon]]. and has competed with Red in various events that went on. Elm reappears again in [[PMHGSS20]] along with the other professors. They were the judge of {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s fight with {{p|Giratina}}.

Ultra Ruin

2021-08-31T02:35:07Z

TechSkylander1518: /* In the anime */

{{Incomplete|2=Missing layout section with complete layout maps}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Ultra Ruin entrance USUM.png
|type=space
|location_name=Ultra Ruin
|japanese_name=ウルトラビルディング
|translated_name=Ultra Building
|location=[[Ultra Space]]
|region=Alola
|mapdisplay=no
|generation={{gen|VII}}
}}

The '''Ultra Ruin''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビルディング''' ''Ultra Building'') is the home of {{p|Guzzlord}}, accessible commonly through Rarity
3 and 4 warp holes and rarely through Rarity 1 and 2 warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]], located several thousand {{wp|light-year}}s from Alola. It only appears in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Description==
The Ultra Ruin is a destroyed futuristic [[Hau'oli City]] from another dimension. The ruins are situated on top of a toppled skyscraper. Multiple doors and faded signs for a Tourist Bureau, an apparel shop, a malasada shop and a salon are visible on it, suggesting the city was arranged as a block of flats.

Some debris is reminiscent of the Hau'oli City from the {{player}}'s dimension, such as one of the big gates from the city's entrances, the red fences painted by [[Ilima]], the chipped wall where the {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Poké Finder}} was first used, and a rusted sign reading: "{{tt|...oli... ...ity Ha... "Servi... ... ...ity's... ...need...|Hau'oli City Hall - ''Serving the city's every need!''}}", which resembles the City Hall sign.

The only characters that can be interacted with are a man in a protective Guzzlord-themed suit, and a {{p|Guzzlord}}. According to the suited man, the people of this world fled to other planets, but he remained in order to keep check on Guzzlord, which he refers to as "Mr. Glutton" (Japanese: '''食いしん坊くん''' ''Glutton-kun''). He wears the suit because breathing too much air in the place is dangerous. After catching Guzzlord, the suited man says that it has taken a liking to the player and asks them to take good care of it.

The suited man will also provide the player with tidbits of information on some of the debris and items that can be interacted with, such as a working filtering machine to make dirty water safe for drinking; an electronic Hau'oli City beachfront display, which appears to be the only remnant of the color blue in this world; "Relocation Notice" cards, which served as virtual storage devices (back when machines that could read them existed); posters for a power plant, others from its kind having been burned for fuel by people from two generations ago; and the rusted sign, said to have been from a long-lost era.

According to the man, older people did not like hearing about this power plant, although he does not know why.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ultra Ruin anime.png|thumb|250px|The Ultra Ruin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Ultra Ruin first appeared in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were teleported there through a rift in space caused by a local {{Shiny}} {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Shiny Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko}} and the {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} from Ash's world, with both using {{t|Electric}} attacks at the same time. Shortly after arriving, Ash and Pikachu encountered a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} and were forced to run from it, being narrowly saved by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{al|Dia}} and his partner {{p|Zeraora}}. Dia explained that Guzzlord was responsible for the Ultra Ruin's destruction, having one day appeared in this world and attacked without provocation. With no one being able to stop it, everyone had been forced to evacuate. Later, Dia led Ash to his base, which Ash recognized as the ruins of the [[Pokémon School]].

In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Dia explained that the Ultra Ruin is a parallel version of Ash's world and was devastated ten years ago by excessive construction work, causing [[Melemele Island]] to become polluted. Soon after, Guzzlord arrived in the world and began its reign of terror. He also explained that, due to this world's Tapu Koko abandoning the island after the nature was destroyed, the use of [[Z-Move]]s had become impossible there. The world was later saved after Ash and Dia sent Guzzlord back to its home world through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], thanks to the Shiny Tapu Koko attacking it and allowing Ash and Dia to use Z-Moves. Afterwards, Ash and Dia had a {{pkmn|battle}} to recreate the conditions that caused Ash to enter the Ultra Ruin in the first place, allowing him to return to his own world.

Unlike the {{pkmn|games|game}} version, non-Ultra Beast Pokémon are known to exist, and still exist, in this world.

Psychic (type)

TechSkylander1518: Fixing grammar and some false info (Psychic isn't weak to Psychic in the main games, and Normal beats out Psychic for non-damaging moves)

{{types}}
The '''Psychic type''' (Japanese: '''エスパータイプ''' ''Esper type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Psychic-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may also now be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===

|Total=558.1 }}


==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle
|type=Psychic
|weakto1=Bug
|resist1=Fighting
|resist2=Psychic
|unaffected1=Ghost
|weaken1=Fighting
|weaken2=Poison

}}

===Generation II onwards===
{{typebattle
|type=Psychic
|weakto1=Bug
|weakto2=Dark
|weakto3=Ghost
|resist1=Fighting
|resist2=Psychic
|weaken1=Fighting
|weaken2=Poison
|resisted1=Psychic
|resisted2=Steel
|noeffect1=Dark
}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Prior to [[Generation VI]], {{t|Steel}}/Psychic types were exempt from Psychic's three weaknesses, but since Steel no longer resists Dark and Ghost, this is no longer the case.

===Offense===
A drawback of Psychic-type moves is that they do not affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although this immunity can be removed with {{m|Miracle Eye}}. The immunity, along with resistances to Psychic, can also be circumvented with coverage moves such as {{t|Ground}}- or {{type|Fighting}} attacks.

When {{m|Psychic Terrain}} is in effect, the power of Psychic-type moves are increased by 30% (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]) if the user is [[grounded|on the ground]].

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Psychic-type moves are typically {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding {{OBP|Tough|condition}}.

===Generation I balance issues===
In the [[Generation I]] games, Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|new Pokémon}} and [[type]]s to make {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010)</ref> As a result, the issue was rectified in [[Generation II]], with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type|Ghost}} moves (as opposed to previously being immune to them), as well as some moves that are strong against Psychic types.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation VIII]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Psychic-type Pokémon|pages}} Psychic-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Psychic-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Psychic-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), making it the 5th most common type after {{t|Flying}} and before {{t|Bug}}. All other types have been paired up with Psychic at least once - after the official release of Galarian {{p|Slowbro}}, Psychic became the third type to have this trait, after {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Water}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Psychic (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Psychic generally adopts all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted {{type|Poison}} Pokémon after the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set, whereas previously they were a part of the {{TCG|Grass}}-type, though they would later be incorporated into {{TCG|Dark}}. {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon were also adopted starting with {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}.

Psychic-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to other Psychic Pokémon, with no resistances. Psychic-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Grass}} (until Diamond & Pearl), {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon, whilst {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Trivia==

* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Psychic-type Pokémon of any generation, with 20, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Psychic-type Pokémon, with six.
* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Psychic-type moves of any generation, with 15, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Psychic-type moves, with only one, {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}.
* The Psychic-type is the most common type for {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type Legendary or Mythical Pokémon introduced in each generation (except [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VIII]], which only introduced one) for a total of 19 (out of 74).
* The Psychic-type is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and {{tc|Psychic|a Trainer Class}}.
* There has been at least one Psychic-type [[type expert]] in every generation.
* In Generation I, the color gold was often used in relation to Psychic-types, possibly as a reference to {{wp|Gold_(color)#Parapsychology|parapsychology}}. The Psychic-type Gym is located in [[Saffron City]] which is a color similar to gold, and its badge is named "Gold Badge" in Japanese. It is also represented in Pokémon designs such as the {{p|Abra}}-line, the {{p|Drowzee}}-line, {{p|Psyduck}}, and in {{p|Golduck}}'s name. In Mystery Dungeon games, there's also the {{DL|Gummi|Gold Gummi}} which is the Gummi variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon.
* The Psychic-type could be considered a special counterpart to the {{t|Fighting}} type:
** The Psychic type's highest average stat is {{stat|Special Attack}}, while the Fighting type's is {{stat|Attack}}.
** The Psychic-type is the only former special type to not have any of its old moves changed into physical moves, while the Fighting-type is the only former physical type to not have any of its old moves changed into special moves.
** {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, moves that counter physical and special attacks are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** {{m|Bulk Up}} and {{m|Calm Mind}}, moves that raise physical and special stats are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** The [[Cram-o-matic]] considers [[Choice Band]] and [[Muscle Band]] Fighting-type inputs and [[Choice Specs]] and [[Wise Glasses]] Psychic-type inputs.
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic-type itself.
** However, a Psychic-type Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.
* {{a|Rattled}}, an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]], is affected by the weaknesses of the Psychic-type. However, no Psychic-type Pokémon has this Ability.
* Psychic has the most notable [[type expert|type specialists]] of any type, with ten (eleven if [[Tate]] and [[Liza]] are counted separately).
* The Psychic-type has the most [[Mega Evolution]]s of any type, with ten.
* Psychic, {{t|Flying}}, and {{t|Water}} are the only types that have been paired with every other type.

Talk:Professor Elm

2021-07-09T03:30:07Z

TechSkylander1518: /* Specializing in abilities? */ new section

== Mistake ==
I could have sworn that Prof. Elm was given a first name in the anime... It was something kinda dorky but I searched online and couldn't find it. It might have been in ''Around the Whirlpool'' but I'm not sure... --[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

:I'm thinking "Robert" for some reason, but I'm not entirely sure. ~Kets

== Larvitar's Egg ==

U know how we have {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}'s Egg on [[Tracey]]'s page as "Formerly owned"? Should we do it with {{AP|Larvitar}}'s Egg with Professor Elm?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 19:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
: Go for it! [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 03:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Did he ever actually have Larvitar's egg though? If he didn't, I don't think that the egg belongs under "Formerly owned"/"released". [[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 19:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
How can you capture or release an egg?--[[User:Tomas|Tomas]] 14:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

== Voice ==
I seriously think Elm's dub actor is the voice of Tracey. anyone concur? [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 03:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Um not really. He sounds a lot like Maddie Blaustein. But I don't think it's her. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

== Relatives? ==

I restarted my Pokemon Crystal today, and noticed that, at least in the game, Prof. Elm is married and has a child; they live in New Bark Town. Should that be included in the page? :S [[User:Agnessa|Agnessa]] 00:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I guess. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

== Elm's Manga Section ==
There isnt one! That needs to be added to the list of things to do. ;)
--[[User:Blake|Blake]] 01:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:I just noticed there isnt a Game section either, even though Oak has one. --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 21:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Berry Strange ==
Why aren't the Johto Starters in GSC shown to be holding the [[Berry]] like they are? I know it's not in the remakes, but it is in the originals... I'd add it myself, if I knew where to put the item in the formatting. --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 17:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Starter's held item ==

In Generation II, the starters given by Prof. Elm held a [[Berries_(Generation_II)#Berry|Berry]] each. This word was generic for berries but also specific for the one that recovers 10 HP (today replaced by Oran). I tried to add the held item to the [[Professor_Elm#In_Generation_II|Gen II table]] but couldn't find out how, as the link must be to a topic inside the page [[Berry (Generation II)]]. Can someone help me? '''|) u |( e''' 23:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
:After checking Bugsy's page, found out that there's no way to specify the Gen II Berry. '''|) u |( e''' 01:53, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

== Master Ball ==

This page erroneously states that the Master Ball can be obtained from Elm after beating the Elite Four. However, it can be obtained after receiving eight Johto badges (before the Elite Four). Should this be fixed? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 02:53, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
:As no one gave a response (positive or negative) to my previous post, I have fixed the error. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 18:40, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

== First Name glitches? Family in the anime ==

My brother had a copy of Gold and I had a copy of Silver; both games were reset. However, in Gold (second time around; my first time) the name "Brent" appeared in front of Professor Elm's name. Then in Silver, (second time around), Professor Elm is referred to as "Robert". These names didn't appear the first time around, just the second. Are these glitches or could either of them be Professor Elm's first name? Also, in his debut episode, either Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy (I believe it's the latter) says something about his wife and kids. I either misheard this, or he actually has family in the anime. Can someone clear this up for me? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 22:53, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== Pocket Monsters Manga Pokémon ==

The wording in this section just seems tacky to me... [[User:Striker212|Striker212]] ([[User talk:Striker212|talk]]) 23:33, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

:If you have problems with the wording, you are free to edit it. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:03, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

== Specializing in abilities? ==

The start of the article says that "Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon Abilities," and it's mentioned first thing, even before Eggs. But that's not mentioned anywhere in his dialogue in the games- is this something that just comes from the anime? If that's the case, I think it should be a little bit later in the intro, because it makes it seem like that's more of his focus.

Pokéathlon

2021-06-21T09:20:47Z

TechSkylander1518:

[[File:Pokéathlon art.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of the Pokéathlon]]
[[File:Pokéathlon logo.png|thumb|250px|Pokéathlon logo]]
'''Pokéathlon''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロン''' ''Pokéthlon'') is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions, in the manner of {{wp|Olympic games|Olympic}} {{wp|track and field}} competitions. It was introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of [[Pokémon]] and {{wp|decathlon}}, as there are a total of 10 events. The [[Pokéathlon Dome]], where the competitions are held, is north of [[Goldenrod City]], next to the [[National Park]].

The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Like in Contests, four competitors participate at once; however, each uses a team of three Pokémon instead of only one. The Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that take part are known as "Pokéathletes".

Like the [[Contest condition|five stats]] introduced for Contests, five additional stats, called [[performance]] stats, were added for the Pokéathlon: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump. Like the Contest conditions and battle stats, a Pokémon's performance stats are affected by its [[Nature]] (more directly so, like the battle stats, than the condition). Using the Apriblender, Aprijuice can be made and used to boost or lower these Performance Stats.

By winning events in the Pokéathlon, the participating Pokémon will earn medals for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}. Their Trainers earn points for the competition based on how well the team did and if they qualified for any of the several bonuses. The Trainer with the highest score wins, with a tie settled with a random draw by the Pokéathlon host. A win will earn the Trainer an additional 100 points (300 points in the Supreme Cup or 500 points in Link Pokéathlon), which can be spent on prizes at the {{DL|Pokéathlon Dome|Athlete Shop}} or [[Data Card]]s with which the player may see records of various actions, course wins and losses, and multiple other statistics in the Pokéathlon Dome. Beating the records for all 10 of the events in the Pokéathlon increases the [[Trainer Card level]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Once the National Pokédex  is obtained and the player has talked with [[Magnus]] in the Friendship Room, the Supreme Cup is unlocked. The opponents are slightly harder, but Trainers who get in first place here will earn a bonus 300 points instead of the regular 100.

==Courses==
One of five courses can be chosen, each representing a single performance stat. There are three events for each course.

==Events==
===Hurdle Dash===
[[File:Hurdle Dash HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Cyndaquil holds first place in Hurdle Dash, while Totodile and Pikachu try to catch up.]]
'''Hurdle Dash''' (Japanese: '''ダッシュハードル''' ''Dash Hurdle'') pits the twelve competing Pokéathletes against one another in a race down a track, with {{wp|hurdling|hurdles}} standing every so often for the Pokémon to jump over.

The player controls all three of the Pokémon simultaneously. The three Pokémon automatically run forward. Tapping a Pokémon with the stylus will cause it to jump, with Pokémon tapped just before jumping a hurdle gaining a speed boost. Pokémon that have a speed boost will have a blue wind tunnel appear around them. The boosts stack, and a Pokémon that gets four such boosts will have its wind tunnel turn red; this indicates the maximum possible speed boost. The boost lasts until the Pokémon either crashes into a hurdle or finishes the course. It is even possible for a Pokémon to bounce off a hurdle when it would ordinarily crash-land by tapping the Pokémon the instant it touches the hurdle — in this manner, it is not slowed down and may even get a speed boost.

Once all Pokémon have crossed the finish line, the event is over, and the finish times for the three Pokémon are added together to obtain a total time for each team. Scoring a total time of 100 seconds or less will give the player the 1st place record for the event, and scoring 80 seconds or less will give the player a Potential trophy.

Athlete Points for the event are calculated as 11500 divided by the total time in seconds.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Jumpluff}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. The Hurdle Dash appears as the first course in the Speed competition and as the final course in the Jump competition.

===Ring Drop===
[[File:Ring Drop HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Totodile and Marill go head-to-head in Ring Drop]]
'''Ring Drop''' (Japanese: '''リングアウトファイト''' ''Ring-Out Fight'') is somewhat based on {{wp|sumo}}, however, it is between four Pokéathletes at a time, rather than two. Pokémon compete by tackling each other, trying to knock opponents out of the ring while staying in the ring themselves.

One Pokémon is controlled at a time. Flicking the stylus will cause the Pokémon to do a tackle in that direction. If it hits an opponent, the opponent is pushed back some distance, which is determined by the tackler's Power stat, the opponent's Stamina stat, and the opponent's fatigue level. Tapping the Pokémon with the stylus will cause it to jump in place, with little lateral movement, but if it lands on an opponent the opponent is launched quite far. Pokémon also get fatigued when they are hit by tackles, which decreases their resistance to launching. A Pokémon who is very fatigued will start to sweat, and a Pokémon who is extremely fatigued will faint, becoming immobile and losing a great deal of launch resistance for a few seconds. Pokémon can be switched out, but only when the Pokémon is near the team's starting corner. Pokémon who are switched out gradually have their fatigue restored. When a Pokémon falls off the ring or is switched out, the next Pokémon takes its place, spawning in the team's corner. If a Pokémon has just spawned, it is immune to any form of contact with opposing Pokémon until either 2 seconds pass or it moves. This event lasts for 60 seconds.

Teams earn points by landing tackles and jumps, and by knocking opponents out of the ring. A tackle that hits a Pokémon earns 1 point, and a jump that lands on a Pokémon earns 2 points. An additional 10 points are scored if the attack knocked the opponent out of the ring. No points are deducted if a Pokémon is knocked out of the ring by an opponent, but if a Pokémon throws itself out of the ring, its team is penalised 10 points (to a minimum of 0). A score of 70 earns the player the 1st place event record, and a score of 100 earns the player a Potential trophy.

The score from these results is then multiplied by 1.5 (rounded down) to obtain the Athlete Points for the event. A player may not earn more than 200 Athlete Points even if they scored more than 134.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, and {{p|Ursaring}}. This is the first event in the Stamina competition, the only competition it is a part of.

===Snow Throw===
[[File:Snow Throw HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Slowpoke takes a direct hit in Snow Throw.]]
'''Snow Throw''' (Japanese: '''シューティングスノー''' ''Shooting Snow'') is an all-out snowball fight between the four teams of Pokémon, with each throwing snowballs at any of the members of the other three teams in order to knock them out for points.

All three Pokémon are controlled simultaneously. The three Pokémon cannot move around in this event, and can only create and throw snowballs. Tapping a Pokémon with the stylus will cause it to make a snowball, and flicking the stylus throws the snowball in the direction of the flick. If the snowball hits an opponent, the hit counter increases by one, and the opponent's fatigue goes up. Larger snowballs can be made by tapping multiple times before throwing; these do not give additional points, but fatigue opponents more if they hit. If a Pokémon's fatigue gets too high, it will faint, making it unable to do anything for a few seconds. Any snowballs that collide with each other destroy each other, regardless of size. This event lasts for 60 seconds.

Scoring is determined by the number of snowballs that make contact with the opponent's Pokémon. A total of 30 hits earns the player the 1st place event record, and a total of 55 hits earns the player a Potential trophy.

The number of hits is then multiplied by 3 to calculate the Athlete Point score for the event. A player may not earn more than 200 Athlete Points even if they scored more than 66 hits.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}}. This event is the first in the Skill competition, the only competition it is part of.

===Lamp Jump===
[[File:Lamp Jump HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu and Cyndaquil wait to be launched in Lamp Jump.]]
'''Lamp Jump''' (Japanese: '''バウンドフィールド''' ''Bound Field'') is a game similar to {{wp|pachinko}}, only using the Pokéathletes themselves, rather than balls. Here, Pokémon must leap into the air towards a grid of lamps, touching as many as possible to score points while avoiding collisions with each other.

All three Pokémon are controlled simultaneously. The player must drag the Pokémon down to the bottom of the screen with the stylus, then release to catapult it high into the air, where lamps shine. A lamp that is touched is put out and cannot be scored from again for a while; all lamps are re-lit every 8 seconds. The danger in this event comes not from opponents, but from the player's own Pokémon — if two Pokémon collide (either in midair or on the ground), they are both stunned and cannot jump for several seconds, though they can still touch lamps if already in midair. Pokémon with an extremely high Jump stat that are launched very high may bounce again automatically after their first jump, though this counts as a separate jump for scoring purposes. This event lasts for 60 seconds.

Each lamp gives points equal to one plus the number of lamps already touched in that jump, to a maximum of five (so, for example, touching 8 lamps in one jump will grant 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25 points total). Scoring 350 points earns the player the 1st place event record, and scoring 500 points earns the player a Potential trophy.

The score is then divided by 3.5 to get the Athlete Point score for the event.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Ambipom}}, and {{p|Politoed}}. This is the first event in the Jump competition, which it is exclusive to.

===Relay Run===
[[File:Relay Run HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu and Growlithe race towards completion of another lap in Relay Run.]]
'''Relay Run''' (Japanese: '''チェンジリレー''' ''Change Relay'') has Pokéathletes race each other around a circular track, trying to complete as many laps as they can in the allotted time.

One Pokémon is controlled at a time. Pokémon are moved by flicking them towards the right with the stylus. A set of obstacles will be randomly placed on the track that the Pokémon must avoid. These obstacles are always placed such that a Pokémon never has a clear, perfectly straight path from one lap to the next. Small patches of rocks will greatly slow any Pokémon that crosses them, and Pokémon who hit the larger gray rocks will bounce backwards off them. In addition, as a Pokémon runs, it gets fatigued. When its fatigue is high enough, it starts to sweat and becomes much slower. If its fatigue gets even higher, the Pokémon faints, becoming immobile for a few seconds. Fatigue is also gained upon collision with another Pokémon, which also stuns both Pokémon for a moment, though the Pokémon in front is stunned for a shorter time (and afterwards, it gets a small boost). A Pokémon can be switched out at any time (except when fainted), which resets its fatigue and puts the next Pokémon in its place. This event lasts for 90 seconds.

Scoring is determined by the total number of laps run. Running 12 laps will earn the player the 1st place event record, and running 16 laps will earn the player a Potential trophy.

The number of laps run is then multiplied by ten to get the Athlete Point score for the event (e.g. 15.5 laps becomes 155 points). A player may not earn more than 200 Athlete Points even if their Pokémon ran more than 20 laps.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and {{p|Dratini}}. Relay Run is the third and final course of the Speed competition and the second course of the Stamina competition.

===Block Smash===
[[File:Block Smash HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Totodile tries its hardest to smash the blocks quickly.]]
'''Block Smash''' (Japanese: '''ブレイクブロック''' ''Break Block'') sets four Pokéathletes, one from each team, against a stack of ten cement blocks. The Pokémon must demonstrate its might by breaking through them as quickly as possible.

One Pokémon is controlled at a time. The blocks can be broken by tapping them on the touchscreen, with the Power stat determining the number of times each block must be tapped before breaking. Breaking blocks raises a Pokémon's fatigue based on its Stamina and Skill. Dangerously high fatigue is indicated by the "switch" button blinking red. If a Pokémon gets too fatigued, it faints for a few seconds, during which it cannot break blocks or switch out. Switching out a Pokémon restores its fatigue over time. Also, each block has one or two small cracks on it. Tapping these cracks will destroy multiple blocks at once and display a blue fist for a moment. If the player taps multiple cracks in succession, the Pokémon will radiate a blue aura (known as Tension) for a while which will affect the entire team. If even more cracks are tapped, the aura will turn red, indicating that Tension has maxed out and the selected Pokémon has entered into High Tension mode. During High Tension mode, the Pokémon no longer gains fatigue and is now capable of destroying multiple blocks per hit until it switches out or a limited amount of time has passed (after which the Pokémon immediately has high fatigue). This event lasts for 30 seconds.

Score is determined directly by the number of blocks broken. Breaking 80 blocks earns the player the 1st place event record, and breaking 130 blocks earns the player a Potential trophy.

Athlete Points for the event are simply equal to the number of blocks broken.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Muk}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}. Block Smash is the first course in the Power competition and the third in the Stamina competition.

===Circle Push===
[[File:Circle Push HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu, Totodile, and Cyndaquil duke it out with the other nine Pokéathletes.]]
'''Circle Push''' (Japanese: '''プッシュサークル''' ''Push Circle'') features all twelve Pokéathletes on the field at once. They must each attempt to stay inside of the circles projected onto the field, all while keeping others out.

All three Pokémon are controlled simultaneously. A Pokémon can be moved by dragging it with the stylus. There are six rounds, each shorter than the last, with several numbered circles. The goal of the event is to have as many of your Pokémon as possible inside the circles at the end of each round, with smaller circles granting more points to each Pokémon inside them. Pokémon can try to push opponents out of the circles, with a high Power stat granting more pushing ability. However, pushing other Pokémon can make a Pokémon fatigued or temporarily faint if done too much. Pokémon can also be pushed off the stage entirely; if this happens, that Pokémon returns to the ring after the current round finishes.

In the first round, there is one large circle worth 1 point. The second and third rounds have two circles each, one worth 2 points and one worth 3 points. The fourth round has three circles, one worth 2 points, one worth 3 points, and one worth 5 points. The fifth and sixth rounds have three circles each, one worth 3 points and two worth 5 points. A total score of 40 points will earn the player the 1st place event record, and a score of 60 points will earn the player a Potential trophy. 66 points is a perfect score.

The number of points is then multiplied by 3 to get the Athlete Point score for the event. A perfect score will yield 198 Athlete Points.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Azumarill}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Donphan}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. This event is exclusive to the Power Competition, in which it appears second.

===Disc Catch===
[[File:Disc Catch HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Croconaw, Hoothoot, and Pidgeotto compete with the other Pokémon to catch the discs.]]
'''Disc Catch''' (Japanese: '''キャッチソーサー''' ''Catch Saucer'') features the twelve Pokéathletes lined up on a small pier in the middle of the water, where they must catch discs that are thrown through the air at them.

All three Pokémon are controlled simultaneously. Dragging a Pokémon with the stylus moves it, and tapping a Pokémon causes it to jump. Discs are constantly thrown towards the pier. At first, one disc is thrown at a time and the discs move slowly, but later on the discs may fly quickly or multiple discs may be thrown at once. If a Pokémon jumps while a disc is flying above it, the disc is caught. The arena is striated with four regions, and catching a disc awards points based on which region it was caught in (the further the disc is allowed to travel before being caught, the more points are awarded for the catch). If a Pokémon moves into another Pokémon (friend or foe), the two Pokémon bounce off each other, being propelled a short distance that varies based on Power and Stamina stats. Pokémon can fall off or be knocked off the pier, returning to the field of play about 3 seconds after falling. Pokémon always respawn in the same place regardless of where they fall from, depending on their team color and where in the team order they were placed. This event lasts for 60 seconds.

Depending on the region the disc was caught in, teams score either 1, 2, 3, or 5 points per disc caught. Scoring 40 points earns the player the 1st place event record, and scoring 70 points earns the player a Potential trophy.

Athlete Points for this event are calculated based on the points received for caught discs, such that <code>Athlete Points = 30 + 120*points / (12.5+points)</code> (rounded down).

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. This is the second event in the Jump competition, the only competition it appears in.

===Pennant Capture===
[[File:Pennant Capture HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Psyduck and Pikachu competing over the pennant flags.]]
'''Pennant Capture''' (Japanese: '''スティールフラッグ''' ''Steal Flag'') brings the Pokéathletes into a sandbox-like area, where small pennant flags appear every so often. Pokémon must bring as many flags as possible back to the starting position in the allotted time.

One Pokémon is controlled at a time. Flicking the stylus causes a Pokémon move in that direction (and also to face that direction, which is relevant for stealing flags). Flags will appear and re-appear on the field in pre-set positions, generally forming paths that go along the two sides of the sandbox, as well as up the center. There are also obstacles on the field, as well as parasols that sometimes hide flags under them. Pokémon collect flags by running into them, and can hold a maximum of nine at a time. After collecting flags, the Pokémon must return to the start area to tag off the next Pokémon and deposit their flags, which will not count towards the score unless this is done. Pokémon can also collide with each other. If a Pokémon rams an opponent from behind, the rammed Pokémon is stunned for a moment and gives up to two flags to the attacker (if a Pokémon does not have enough flags, all its flags are given). If time runs out as a Pokémon is depositing its flags, all the flags will still count towards the score. This event lasts for 60 seconds.

Score is determined directly by the number of flags successfully deposited. Getting 35 flags earns the player the 1st place event record, and getting 50 flags earns the player a Potential trophy.

The number of flags is then multiplied by 3 to obtain the Athlete Point score for the event.

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Sneasel}}. This event appears as the second event in the Speed competition and as the third event in the Skill competition.

===Goal Roll===
[[File:Goal Roll HGSS.png|thumb|200px|The Red team has successfully scored a goal.]]
'''Goal Roll''' (Japanese: '''スマッシュゴール''' ''Smash Goal'') is in essence a four-way {{wp|Association football|soccer}} match with three Pokémon on each team.

All three Pokémon are controlled simultaneously. Dragging a Pokémon with the stylus moves it, and flicking the stylus causes a Pokémon to dash in that direction. A ball starts in the center of the field; balls can be either small and white, or (less commonly) large and golden. Pokémon can either roll the ball slowly by moving into it, or perform a Power Shot by dashing into it. A Power Shot launches the ball farther, and being hit by a Power Shot will raise a Pokémon's fatigue depending on its Stamina, the shooter's Power, and how far the ball traveled before hitting the Pokémon. Fatigued Pokémon are more likely to be stunned by Power Shots (causing them to spin around, stunned). Pokémon with high fatigue will start to sweat, reducing their movement speed and eliminating their ability to dash.
Pokémon with very high fatigue faint, becoming immobile for a few seconds. Fatigue is restored by standing still. Whenever a ball enters a goal, it disappears and a new ball is immediately placed on the field near the center. This event lasts for 90 seconds. 30 seconds from the end of the event, the timer on the top screen disappears and is replaced by the words "Second wind!", at which point a second ball is placed on the field and both balls are played simultaneously.

Pokémon score points for their team by being the last one to touch a ball before it enters the goal of an opposing team. One point is added for each goal scored with a white ball, while two points are added for a goal scored with a golden ball. Each time the ball goes in a team's goal, that team loses a point unless the team's score is currently zero. A score of 3 points earns the player the 1st place event record, and a score of 9 points earns the player a Potential trophy.

Score is converted to Athlete Points as follows:

* 60 Athlete Points regardless of score
* 5 Athlete Points per point scored
* 10 bonus Athlete Points for having a higher score than exactly one opponent
* 20 bonus Athlete Points for having a higher score than exactly two opponents
* 40 bonus Athlete Points for having a higher score than all opponents

A player may not earn more than 200 Athlete Points even if they scored more than 20 (assuming this is the highest of the four scores).

According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], the top six recommended Pokémon are {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Granbull}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}}. This is the third event in the Power competition and the second event in the Skill competition.

==Bonus points==
At the end of the Pokéathlon, the bonus points are calculated first. These consist of four different categories:

===Challenge Bonus===
The challenge bonus is a bonus that measures the "fighting spirit" of a Pokéathlon team. The lower the stats of a team, the higher this bonus. It is calculated as 75 minus the total number of stars on a team when unaffected by Aprijuice (even if the team has drank Aprijuice). Thus, a team consisting of {{p|Ho-Oh}} (19), {{p|Moltres}} (19), and {{p|Zapdos}} (19) will always earn 18 points (75 - 19 * 3 = 18). A team of 3 {{p|Arceus}} holding Draco Plates will yield the lowest possible score (75 - 23 * 3 = 6).

===No-Miss Bonus===
A Pokémon who fulfills the "No-miss" criteria in all three events earns a bonus 10 points for its team. In each of the events, it means the following:
*Hurdle Dash - no hurdles were broken by the Pokémon.
*Pennant Capture - no flags were taken from the Pokémon via tackling.
*Relay Run - the Pokémon never fainted - became too tired to run.
*Block Smash - the Pokémon never fainted - became too tired to smash blocks.
*Circle Push - the Pokémon was inside a circle in all six rounds.
*Goal Roll - the Pokémon never fainted from being hit by balls, and the Pokémon never shot a ball into its own goal.
*Snow Throw - the Pokémon never fainted as a result of having a snowball thrown at it.
*Ring Drop - the Pokémon was never knocked off the stage and never fainted.
*Lamp Jump - the Pokémon did not faint from colliding with another Pokémon.
*Disc Catch - the Pokémon did not fall off the stage.

===Leading Score Bonus===
This is a 20-point bonus given to the Pokémon with the highest individual score. If there is a tie, all Pokémon who tied are awarded the bonus, even if they are on the same team.

===Effort Bonus===
This is a 10-point bonus given to the Pokémon that did the most of a certain action, picked randomly from the Pokémon that "dashed", "jumped", "hit", "failed" the most, or "missed collecting the most points". If there is a tie, all Pokémon who tied are awarded the bonus, even if they are on the same team.

==Link Pokéathlon==
Up to four players can participate in a link Pokéathlon. Instead of three, there are four events with each course. Courses A-E offer two medals dependent on the name of the course. Course F does not offer any Medals but offers double the Athlete Points. Below are the courses and events for each course.

==In the anime==
[[File:Camellia Town Stadium.png|thumb|250px|Its location, the Camellia Town stadium]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Pokéathlon consists of three events chosen at random from a list of 10 potential events. Only one Pokémon is allowed to compete in each event.

A Pokéathlon was held in [[Camellia Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]''. This episode showcased the Disc Catch, Lamp Jump, and Hurdle Dash events, with the other seven events also shown in the episode via a poster. {{Ash}} joined the competition using his {{AP|Monferno}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} for Disc Catch and Hurdle Dash, respectively. However, he lost to {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}} and his {{p|Snorlax}} in Hurdle Dash. The Pokéathlon was confirmed to have started in Johto, with the current Pokéathlon being the first to be held in Sinnoh. The Pokéathlon was a qualifying match, with the winner moving on to compete in the regional competition.

[[File:Pokeathlon Dome Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Pokéathlon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', {{adv|Gold}} went to the Pokéathlon to meet up with [[Lance]] and get information about {{adv|Arceus}} for {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He starts with the Skill Course, which he enters with [[Aibo]], [[Polibo]], and [[Exbo]] and succeeds in beating it. After that, he beats the Jump Course with {{p|Sunflora|Sunbo}}, {{p|Sudowoodo|Sudobo}}, and [[Togebo]]. Next, he tries the Stamina Course, which he beats with Aibo, Polibo, and Exbo again.

Gold's fourth challenge takes him to the Speed Course, where he is pit up against the top athlete {{jo|Jet}}. Initially, Jet gets the upper hand in the first two challenges, but is eventually defeated in Relay Run, which gives Gold enough points to win. For his final challenge, Gold enters the Power Course with Aibo, Polibo, and Exbo. His opponents this time are three of the [[Elite Four]], [[Bruno]], [[Koga]], and [[Will]]. They manage to easily win the first two rounds, but Gold ends up the victor in Block Smash by utilizing High Tension mode.

After Gold tells everyone the real reason why he came to compete, a [[Lance's Dragonite|Dragonite]] attacks the Pokéathlon Dome. Gold manages to defeat it and realizes that the Dragonite actually belonged to Lance, which meant that they were attacked before they could get to the Dome. Annoyed that Lance isn't coming after all, Gold takes Dragonite for safe keeping and heads off to [[Ecruteak City]].

In ''[[PS453|All About Arceus II]]'', Lance recited to [[Bugsy]] the history of the Pokéathlon's creation. The tale consisted of an island plagued by illness and a Pokémon Trainer setting off to find a [[Mythical Pokémon]] that could give them the cure. Once the Trainer and their Pokémon became one, only then did {{adv|Celebi}}, the Mythical Pokémon they had been searching for, tell them the cure. The Pokéathlon was created to celebrate this Trainer's achievement; the sports are meant to represent the obstacles the Trainer had to go through in order to find the cure.

==Trivia==
* Since {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} have a maximum jump stat of one, they are incapable of jumping; in Lamp Jump they can't move at all, in Disc Catch they can only move around, and in Hurdle Dash they dig under the hurdles. This makes earning a Jump medal for these two species much more of a challenge than other species.
* {{p|Sunkern}} and {{p|Ditto}} are both relatively common Pokémon that are capable of maximum stars.
* Pokémon seen in the Pokéathlon which have not been seen before are not recorded in the [[Pokédex]].
*The only Pokémon that has Pokéathlon stats where each one is a different level is {{p|Cradily}}.

== Will All Pokémon Be Able To Enter? ==

Will every Pokémon be able to enter these? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:I would imagine so, but we don't know for sure yet (and probably won't know until the games come out). [[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]] 19:49, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:: I can imagine Arceus playing! - [[User:Manaphy1|Manaphy1]] 19:54, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Feebas issue ==

Feebas evolves with maxed out beauty. How will it evolve with the new stats of Speed, power, technique, stamina and jump? Are these in addition to the old Contest stats? If so, that's three sets of stats which is a little bit too much to cram into one Pokemon's profile. The Feebas problem should be mentioned. [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 06:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
:You probably have to evolve in DPPt. FRLG didn't have those stats either so all Feebas had to have their Beauty maxxed out in Hoenn. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Is it confirmed that there are no Contests in HG/SS? The Pokéthlon certainly looks like it could replace Contests in these games, but I haven't seen a line anywhere that specifically said Contests were out. [[User:InsomniacHonchkrow|InsomniacHonchkrow]] 07:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

There is a guy with a {{p|Poliwrath}} when you go the the Pokéthlon Dome for the first time. I think his name is Kobushi. He has a special overworld sprite.

:I read something about him somewhere... Pokébeach? If he owns the Pokéthlon or something he should be important enough (like [[Baoba]]). However at the moment we aren't going on a huge amount of information... I'm sure those people with the game know stuff though... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

== Pokéthlon Stat Changes ==

It turns out that a Pokémon's Pokéthlon Jump, Power, etc. will change each day based on the nature of the Pokémon.

== Supreme Cup ==

After beating the Elite Four, an attendant appears to the left of the reception lady. Talk to her and you can participate in the "Supreme Cup". The opponents are harder (Whitney randomly appears as one of the contestants) and you earn 300 bonus points instead of 100 for winning. {{unsigned|KamiKazeKenji}}

== performance for each event ==

Where did the performance for each event come from? Was it from drawing conclusions, because this is what I got for each event from their in-game summary:
*Hurdle Dash: Speed and Jump
*Ring Drop: Stamina and Power
*Snow Throw: Skill and Power
*Lamp Jump: Jump and Skill
*Relay Run: Stamina and Speed
*Block Smash: Power and Stamina
*Circle Push: Power and Stamina
*Disc Catch: Jump and Poer
*Pennant Capture: Skill and Speed
*Goal Roll: Skill and Power

==Medal Bug==

Yesterday I found a "bug". It is kinda hard to explain, so I'll just write what happened to me. I played the Speed event with Ho-oh, Arceus and Moltres. I won, and when I was going to enter the Power event, i chose the same Pokémon, and I noticed something. It said that ALL of my three Ho-ohs and four Moltreses had won the Speed Medal, even though I just won it with one Ho-oh and Moltres. Could this mean that when choosing Pokémon to use in Pokéathlon, that it just loads the Nature and the Pokémons name from the box, and not its PID? And is this worth writing in the article?

==Minigame Similarities==

Thought it might be considered "speculation", so I thought of asking here. Does anyone else feel that most of the minigames were taken from the Pokémon Stadium series?

Hurdle Dash = Run, Rattata, Run

Ring Drop = Topsy-Turvy

Lamp Jump = Magikarp Splash

Relay Run = Rampage Rollout

Block Smash = Dig! Dig! Dig!

Pennant Capture = Gutsy Golbat

Goal Roll = Barrier Ball/Furret's Frolic

Snow Throw = ?

Circle Push = ?

Disc Catch = ?

I'll elaborate on similarities if needed. [[User:MagicBarrier|MagicBarrier]] 23:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

:After thinking about this very hard, several times, I really have to disagree with almost all your conclusions. I can see the resemblance between Hurdles and Rattata, even if I disagree hugely, Ring Drop and Topsy-Turvy, Relay and Rampage, and Pennants and Golbat, but really the others don't equate to me.
:Snow Throw is hitting opponents with balls. Furret's Frolic is get the balls off being the last one to touch them.
:Lamp Jump is pachinko with variable heights. Magikarp Splash is "hit a when you hit the ground again" and you can't miss the button.
:Block Smash is "hit the blocks either really fast or precisely to upgrade your hits". Dig! Dig! Dig! is spam hitting L and R after each other.
:Circle Push is stand in a circle and don't get pushed out. Eager Eevee is dashing at a berry as soon as it's revealed and avoid the Pineco.
:The way that Goal Roll vs Barrier Ball was explained to me was perfect. Goal Roll = Soccer, Barrier Ball = Pong.
:And, most egregiously to me, Disc Catch is "catch frisbees as far back as possible" whereas Egg Emergency is "catch all the eggs and avoid the Voltorbs, your choices are holding l or r or leave in the centre".
:To me, most of these look like you went "oh the basic concepts are vaguely similar" like catching and catching or jumping and jumping, but concept isn't really enough to say "these are the same games". I think there are enough differences even in the first four to say that they aren't the same, but I don't think it'd be fair of me to just remove all of this entry. Not to mention Togepi shouldn't even be there. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 08:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

==Flag limit?==

I noticed, while trying to break the record of 35 flags, that my Mawile couldn't pick ~up more flags when he were holding 9 flags. Now I'm wondering if anyone could confirm if this is true, and if so, is the limit the same for all Pokémon? [[User:PeliculaSA|PeliculaSA]] 19:49, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
:Please don't add multiple line breaks to elongate the page, one is enough. For your question, ''with a maximum holding capacity of nine at one time.'' Copied straight from the page. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:06, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Is the Friendship Room really needed in this article? It is more related to the dome, rather than the competition itself. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 17:51, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== "Points leader" mechanics and Disc Catch scoring ==

Does anyone know how "points leader" actually works? It's clear from my experience that points are weighted very differently in the three games for this bonus (i.e. a point in Goal Roll is worth far more than a point in Block Smash) so it seems worth investigating.

Also, there's no scoring system listed for Disc Catch...anyone have any idea how this is scored? [[User:Shashakiro|Shashakiro]] 17:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

== Relay Run ==

The large gray rocks on the Relay Run minigame look like Metang and Metagross. [[User:Mennace|Mennace]] 21:29, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

== Challenge Bonus ==

As far as i see, this part of the article is complete nonsance, it seems that evrey Pokémon has an individual bonus, and all three will then be added up. There is an (incomplete) list [[:de:Draufgänerbonus|here]], and I also tested it once, its the german wiki witch is right. However, my spelling is not to great, and im quite new to Bulbapedia, so i don't know in what format the explanation of the Challenge bonus should be. Also, as the list on PokéWiki is incomplete, it would be a bit confusing, if we would have a list with missing stats.

:Never mind. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:20, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Challenge Bonus ==

The Challenge Bonus section is confusing. It's described as being "75 minus the total number of stars on a team when unaffected by Aprijuice (even if the team has drank Aprijuice)". But as the [[Performance]] article explains, a Pokemon's performance stats can still vary from day to day just based on their nature, whereas the challenge bonus has always been consistent for the species. (The [[List_of_Pokéathlon_opponents]] page even lists the specific bonus for each team) Is it maybe referring to the base performance of each Pokemon?

And the example given for the lowest possible score is "Three Arceus holding Draco Plates", but held items have absolutely no effect in the Pokeathlon as far as I know. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 21:01, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
:Discovered my mistake - Forms do have different stats, so the plates do matter, and using the base stats for species, this formula does make sense. Should the [[List of Pokémon by performance stats]] article be adjusted to show default stats as well as maximum stats? There's not really any place that lists all default stats at once, only the maximum amounts.

{{samename|performances delivered by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s in [[Pokémon Contest]]s|Appeal}}
{{redirect|Technique|Pokémon moves, which were also referred to as techniques|Move}}
[[File:Pokéthlon stats.png|thumb|400px|A {{p|Typhlosion}}'s performance]]
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s '''performance''' (Japanese: '''パフォーマンス''' ''performance'') is made up of stats that exist for use in the [[Pokéathlon]]. There are five different performance stats; Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

A Pokémon's ability in a performance stat can range from 1 to 5, though the maximum value of a given stat is determined by the Pokémon's species and is often lower than 5. The maximum values are unrelated to the species' base stat total, for example, {{p|Sunkern}} has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total and the same as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]], and {{p|Arceus}}, while ironically sporting the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon that was available at the time . The default value for a given stat is also determined by the Pokémon's species, and the actual value varies further on a daily basis based on the Pokémon's [[Nature]]. In order to maximize a performance stat that is not already at the species' maximum value, the Pokémon can be given Apricorn juice, which can be made with an [[Apriblender]] or purchased at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]].

As an example, a {{p|Typhlosion}}'s Skill performance can range from 1 to 3, with a default value of 2. If the Typhlosion has a Serious nature, on some days (without the effects of any Aprijuice) it may be 1; if it has a Calm nature, it may be 3 (It cannot be 4, as that is beyond the maximum value for the species).

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

===Power===
'''Power''' (Japanese: '''パワー''' ''Power'') is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon game involving fighting or the usage of physical force. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Power stat. Natures that benefit the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Attack}} stat benefit its Power. The Power performance stat is the most commonly used stat in the Pokéathlon, being used in every event with the exception of Hurdle Dash.

===Skill===
'''Skill''' (Japanese: '''テクニック''' ''Technique'') is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving strategy. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Skill stat. Natures that benefit the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Special Defense}} stat benefit its Skill. Skill is used in Lamp Jump, Snow Throw, Pennant Capture, Hurdle Dash, Relay Run, Block Break, and Goal Roll.

===Stamina===
'''Stamina''' (Japanese: '''スタミナ''' ''Stamina'') is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving a risk of fatigue. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Stamina stat. Natures that benefit the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Defense}} stat benefit its Stamina. Stamina is used in Ring Drop, Snow Throw, Relay Run, Block Break, Lamp Jump, Circle Push, Goal Roll, and Pennant Capture.

===Jump===
'''Jump''' (Japanese: '''ジャンプ''' ''Jump'') is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéathlon games involving jumping. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Jump stat. Natures that benefit the Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|Special Attack}} stat benefit its Jump. Jump is the least commonly used stat in the Pokéathlon, being used only in Hurdle Dash, Ring Drop, Lamp Jump, and Disc Catch.

==Symbols==
The type of star used to display a Pokémon's performance stat indicates where the stat currently is in relation to the default value for the species:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{thlon color dark}}; border: 3px solid #{{thlon color}}; width: auto;"

| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | --
|}

==Daily stat changes==
The day-to-day performance of a Pokémon in the Pokéathlon changes based on the day of the month, the Nature, and their [[personality value]]. The extent of the change may increase or decrease an attribute by up to 4 stars, subject to the Pokémon's species minimums and maximums, though changes beyond 1-2 stars in either direction cannot be achieved without [[Aprijuice]]. The specifics of how performance is influenced is covered [[Personality value#Performance changes|here]].

Below is a list of the Natures, which performance they effect and to what degree possible the stats can fluctuate. Each value below is the highest extent to which each performance stat can improve or be hindered without Aprijuice.

For a short time in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], the tower fell victim to the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time all of the normal broadcasts were replaced with a pirate signal officially announcing Team Rocket's return and pleading [[Giovanni]] to return from seclusion.

After the {{player}} obtains their seventh Johto Gym Badge, it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline, because until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal, either the [[Blackthorn Gym]] will be closed because [[Clair]] is training in the restricted [[Dragon's Den]]{{sup/2|GSC}}, or a man selling [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]] will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of [[Mahogany Town]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}. After defeating the impostor station manager in the fifth floor office, the player will receive the {{jo|Basement Key}}, which opens up a sealed area of the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. Upon finding the real station manager in the second basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], he will give the player a {{jo|Card Key}} to open the door on the third floor that separates the upper floors of the tower in two. With the Card Key in tow, the player can ascend to the fifth floor studio (and the observation deck{{sup/4|HGSS}}) to defeat the final {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the player a [[Rainbow Wing]]{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/4|HG}}, a [[Silver Wing]]{{sup/2|S}}{{sup/4|SS}}, or a [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}.

Before Team Rocket's invasion, a guard will restrict access beyond the second floor to "authorized personnel" only. Thus, the third and subsequent floors of the Radio Tower can only be explored during and after Team Rocket's invasion.

===Places of interest===
====Studios====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the station had two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio was added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor, to accommodate [[Buena]]'s new radio show. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Pokémon Storage System|Bill's PC]] and the player's personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The [[Radio Director|Director]]'s office is found on the fifth floor.

====Programs====
{{main|Radio in the Pokémon world}}
Many programs are broadcast from the tower, with most being produced in-house.

====Buena's Password====
{{main|Radio in the Pokémon world#Buena's Password|Radio in the Pokémon world → Buena's Password}}
The player can collect points for the [[Blue Card]] by listening to the radio show Buena's Password, then visiting Buena on the second floor of the Radio Tower and answering her quiz. If they answer the question correctly, they earn 1 point for their Blue Card.

In Generation II, points must be spent to buy each prize; whereas in Generation IV, prizes are awarded when the player obtains a certain number of points. Players cannot have more than 30p on the Blue Card. If the player has 30p, they can speak to Buena to register her phone number in the [[Pokégear]] (points will not be spent). In Generation II, the player cannot earn points while their Blue Card has 30p (requiring points to be spent); whereas in Generation IV, the player will be issued a new Blue Card once the 30p limit is hit.

==In the anime==
[[File:Radio Tower anime.png|thumb|250px|The Radio Tower in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
The Goldenrod Radio Tower appeared in ''[[EP160|Air Time]]'', where {{Ash}} was invited to the tower to be interviewed by [[DJ Mary]]. Disguised {{TRT}} also infiltrated the Radio Tower, intending to steal anything valuable inside. However, all they discovered were tapes of various radio shows. They were then mistaken for a comedy group called "The [[Dugtrio Trio]]," and were dragged to be interviewed by DJ Mary. Due to Team Rocket having accidentally destroyed the tape of the day's Radio Drama, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Team Rocket were asked to act the show live. During the show, [[Jessie]] constantly made her own changes to the script, eventually leading to Team Rocket revealing themselves and attempting to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Thankfully, Ash managed to recover Pikachu, Team Rocket was defeated, and the Radio Drama was brought to a successful end.

===Pokémon Generations===
The Goldenrod Radio Tower appeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]'', where [[Looker]] described [[Team Rocket]]'s takeover of the building to {{ga|Silver}}. He also mentioned how the entire takeover failed due to [[Giovanni]] not showing up despite Team Rocket's broadcast.

==Trivia==
[[File:1997 GS Goldenrod City.png|right|thumb|The radio tower in Pocket Monsters 2]]
* The Radio Tower's exterior design in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is closer to the one initially planned for [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|Pocket Monsters 2]], rather than to its original final design in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the poster announcing the [[Lucky Channel]] on the ground floor is still present, despite the program itself no longer being available.
* According to the [[Radio Director]] there was once another [[Bell Tower]] that stood in its place and was even visited by the legendary Pokemon {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which is evident by the Rainbow Wing that he found and kept.

List of glitches in Generation I

2021-03-03T21:50:23Z

TechSkylander1518: /* Disabling NPCs animation */

{{Incomplete|article|Loads of missing newly discovered glitches; could also use some better organization; probably should make a section for "all handheld games" vs "all games" seeing how there's lots of in-battle glitches that were alternately fixed or still occur in Stadium}}

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It applies to both the original [[Game Boy]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases unless otherwise noted.

==All games==
{{incomplete|section|cf. English and other localizations with the original Japanese releases}}
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1.0 and 1.1) and of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3) unless noted otherwise.

===0 ERROR glitch===
{{main|0 ERROR}}
A glitch similar to the [[Mew glitch]] that causes {{rt|6|Kanto}} to become glitched.

===1/256 miss glitch===
In the [[Generation I]] handheld games, all moves are 1/256 more likely to miss than was intended, including 100% [[accuracy]] moves. In non-Japanese versions, {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Bide}} skip accuracy checks and always hit, regardless of this bug.

Moves with 100% accuracy have a 255/256 (~99.6%) chance of hitting (without {{stat|accuracy}} nor {{stat|evasion}} modifiers). Other moves also have 1/256 less accuracy than was intended.

The glitch occurs due to the accuracy check using a "strictly less than" comparison instead of a "less than or equal to" comparison. If a randomly generated integer between 0 and 255 (inclusive) is strictly less than the move's accuracy (after applying accuracy and evasion modifiers), the move hits; however, if the random number is exactly 255, the random number cannot be less than the move's modified accuracy (regardless of its value).

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the randomly generated integer is between 0 and 254 (inclusive). This prevents moves with 100% accuracy from missing, but also slightly increases the probability of lower accuracy moves of hitting.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the move has 100% accuracy (after applying accuracy and evasion modifiers and the [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] modifier), the move skips the rest of the accuracy check and hits. This prevents moves with 100% accuracy from missing, but does not affect the chance of hitting for moves with lower accuracy.

===Battle draw theme oversight===
Prior to [[Generation II]], having the player character draw in a [[Pokémon battle]] causes the victory theme to play even though the player has lost.

{{Youtubevid|HDWoG2BCGbU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Disabling NPCs animation===
When the player walks, the screen moves the objects of the stage where player is, including NPCs. That movement alters the animations of the NPCs, disabling their animations.

{{Youtubevid|j5ciB3oMXBc|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceandMissingNo.|Flying|Electric}}

===Bide errors===
The stored damage from {{m|Bide}} can hit (but not always) a Pokémon under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}. If Bide deals damage to a Pokémon under Fly or Dig, the game will reveal its sprite early. This also causes a small animation glitch with Dig where it appears that the enemy Pokémon rises from the ground off the top of the screen instead of the enemy rising up from 'underground'. There is no animation glitch with {{m|Fly}} because the game has no animation on the opponent's side of Fly returning from the top of the screen to the ground—the game only reveals the sprite.

{{Youtubevid|mpHw7CPQdQY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Flying|Ground}}

===Cable Club escape===
{{main|Cable Club escape glitch}}

===Catch rate RNG oversight===
Due to the combination of the way the games' random number generator is implemented and the capture algorithm using rejection sampling to generate a random number from a limited range for Great and Ultra/Safari Balls, there is a significant bias to RNG outcomes for these balls; Ultra Balls can for instance be less effective than Poké Balls against Pokémon with high catch rates at full health, and Pokémon with lower catch rates are significantly harder to catch in an Ultra or Safari Ball at full health than they should, while being easier to catch at low health.<ref>[https://www.dragonflycave.com/mechanics/gen-i-rng Gen I Capture RNG Mechanics - The Cave of Dragonflies]</ref>

===Changing NPC sprites===
When the walking through walls glitch is used and the player flies to [[Lavender Town]], they can activate this glitch. They must walk down to {{rt|12|Kanto}} and walk through the side of the gate rather than actually going into the gate. Once this has been done, every [[Non-player character|NPC]] will have the same sprite as the player. Encountering a [[wild Pokémon]] fixes the sprites. This is due to the fact that the game fails to load the sprite graphics properly.

===Counter glitches===
{{m|Counter}} may strike back damage from an attack that isn't Normal- or Fighting-type. For this to happen, the Counter target must have not selected any move the turn Counter was used (for example, due to being frozen, asleep, or switching out), and must have moved first and used a Normal- or Fighting-type damaging move the previous turn. In addition, Counter may also strike back damage from one's own attack. This occurs if the Counter target previously used a Normal- or Fighting-type damaging move before the Counter user successfully used any damaging move during the same turn. If, in the next turn when Counter is used, the Counter target doesn't select a move, the Counter user's own damage will be dealt.

In Link Battles, Counter may also trigger desynchronization errors. This occurs due to the last move pointed by the cursor in the move selection menu being treated by the last move actually used if the Pokémon switches out. This oversight can also be exploited outside of link battles to make the opponent's Counter hit or miss at will under specific circumstances.

{{Youtubevid|ftTalHMjPRY|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Normal|Fighting}}

===Critical hit ratio error===
{{m|Focus Energy}} and [[Dire Hit]]s are intended to quadruple the [[critical hit]] rate, but due to a glitch, they will quarter the chance of scoring a critical hit. This was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.

===Cut glitch===
The '''Cut glitch''' can refer to two different glitches in [[Generation I]] involving the move {{m|Cut}}.

====Invisible tree====
There is a tree near the bottom of {{rt|14|Kanto}}. If this particular tree is cut down and then the player walks five steps west from where the tree was (so that the spot where the tree used to be is at the edge of the screen) and then walks back their path will be blocked as if a tree was still there. Even though the tree is not visible, it can still be cut down normally using the move {{m|Cut}}.
{{youtubevid|jNUxFt8OPSI|pandakekok|glitch}}

====Standing on a tree====
[[File:Cut glitch.png|thumb|{{ga|Red}} standing on top of the tree outside [[Vermilion Gym]]]]
[[File:Yellow Pikachu tree Cooltrainer glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Pikachu}} standing on top of a tree in Celadon Gym]]
If the player {{m|cut}}s down a tree, stands on the spot where the object was, [[save]]s, turns the game off, then loads it, the player will be standing on the tree. The same can happen with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

In [[Celadon Gym]] in Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu can also end up standing on a tree after certain battles.

This glitch occurs because the [[Generation I]] engine would not store the data needed to remember that the tree had been cleared.

===Cycling Road access requirement bypassing===
If the player does not have a [[Bicycle]] (or it has been deposited in the PC), it is still possible to reach {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}} by holding down the left button while the guard attempts to prevent the player from entering the Cycling Road. Upon entering Cycling Road, the player will be automatically riding a bike, despite not having one.

This is because pressing left on the d-pad actually overrides the "walk back to the right" movement, thus ignoring the return movement.

{{Youtubevid|OCyYJHf-apw|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Kanto}}

===Defrost move forcing===
If a {{status|frozen}} Pokémon is defrosted before it would have moved that turn, it uses a move that turn, even though it couldn't select a move that turn due to being frozen. However, this move can differ between the games in a link battle, causing desynchronization. Additionally, this can also allow a Pokémon to use a move with no [[PP]] remaining, causing an underflow.

If a Pokémon is defrosted, in the game of the owner of the defrosted Pokémon, the move used will be the last move the player had the cursor over. Since the player does not get to select a move while frozen, this can be a move of another Pokémon in the party. The value that manages this is set to 0 at the start of a link battle, so if the player has never moved the cursor over a move during that battle, the used move will be the glitch move {{m|--}}.

In the game of the other player, the move used will be the last move used by the defrosted Pokémon (reset upon switching), or the first listed move if it has not used a move since switching.

PP is deducted from the move the Pokémon uses in other player's game (even in its owner's game), regardless of its current PP. If the move had 0 PP, it underflows to 63 PP and removes the effect of one [[PP Up]].

{{Youtubevid|iSSf4XaqGAU|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Ice}}

===Division by 0===
During damage calculation, the game will eventually attempt to divide by 0 in the following two cases. In both cases, this causes the game to [[Game freeze#"Softlocking"|freeze]] indefinitely (due to the algorithm looping infinitely).

The attacker's current Attack/Special stat is higher than 255 and the defender's current Defense/Special stat is lower than 4.

{{Youtubevid|V6iUlyS8GMU|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|HP}}

The defender's current Defense/Special stat is 512 or 513 and the defender has used {{m|Reflect}}/{{m|Light Screen}}. In addition, if its current Defense/Special stat is 514 or higher when {{m|Reflect}}/{{m|Light Screen}} is up, it will be treated as if it was much lower due to a roll-over glitch.

{{Youtubevid|fVtO_DKxIsI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Dual-type damage misinformation===
In [[Generation I]], Pokémon with two types that have a weakness and resistance to the same type receive neutral damage from that type, but the incorrect message is displayed.

For example, {{type|Grass}} moves do neutral damage to {{p|Gyarados}}, but if Gyarados is hit by a Grass-type move, the game erroneously states that the attack is "not very effective...".

The game prioritizes on which message to display for each 'special' scenario (where normal damage is not dealt) based on each scenario's internal ordering. The higher the ordering determines what message the game will display. Grass against Water as 200% damage for instance is the 4th entry, whilst Grass against Flying as 50% damage is the 27th. Consequently, in this example, the game chooses the message for scenario #27, returning the wrong message "It's not very effective...".

This glitch does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

{{Youtubevid|yP6EhW2r57A|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|???}}

If an attack is super effective or not very effective against one type and does no damage against another type (for example, {{m|Dig}} against {{p|Charizard}}), the game will erroneously state that the attack missed.

====Order of priority of messages====
This list is presented in the reverse order to which they are stored in the game data. Messages higher on the list take priority over those lower on the list.

===Exp. All oversight===
{{main|Experience#Apparent Exp. All programming error in Generation I}}
If the player has an [[Exp. Share|Exp. All]] in their bag and uses two or more Pokémon from their party in battle, then the total amount of experience gained overall will be decreased depending on the number of Pokémon used.

===Experience PC withdrawing glitch===
In Generation I, attempting to withdraw a level 1 Pokémon using the "[[Experience#Medium Slow|Medium Slow]]" growth algorithm will [[Game freeze#"Softlocking"|softlock]] the game. This also applies to Pokémon using the "[[Experience#Medium Fast|Medium Fast]]" growth algorithm for Level 255, "[[Experience#Fast|Fast]]" for Level 255, and "[[Experience#Slow|Slow]]" for Level 237.

Certain glitch Pokémon use [http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6588.0 invalid growth algorithms] and have the game freeze when they are withdrawn at specific levels as well. For example, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, [['M (00)]] uses an invalid experience curve 26 and the game will freeze if the player attempts to withdraw a level 0 'M (00). Level 0 'M can be found with the [[old man glitch]] if the player does not pick a preset name.

Additionally, if a Pokémon in the "Medium-Slow" growth algorithm is withdrawn between Levels 245 to 255, it will become a Pokémon with a level between 59 and 125, depending on the exact Level of the Pokémon deposited. A Pokémon in the "Medium-Slow" growth algorithm that is withdrawn between 238 and 255 will become a Pokémon with a level between 39 and 146. A Pokémon withdrawn in this manner will have its stats recalculated, which may lead to it having more HP than its maximum HP.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NFojS1JlAGvfBlqfLJyGwUO3iZCG5UQvItr7xrHup8U/edit?pli=1&pageId=109668335590823221919#gid=1302000118 Full Exp Data by Dabomstew - Google Sheets]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TDXWL093AI&lc=z12zhldxszrqstl0b23hixpjll33sfpyl04 TPM mart buffer overflow glitch - "Catch 'em all" glitch (Generation I) by ChickasaurusGL on Youtube]</ref>

===Experience underflow===
{{main|Experience#Experience underflow glitch}}
In Generations I and II, level 1 Pokémon using the "Medium Slow" growth algorithm will jump from level 1 to level 100 after gaining a {{tt|low amount|less than 54 if total experience is 0}} of experience points.

{{Youtubevid|EtkRiiwD0jc|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Glitch}}

===Ghost Bicycle glitch===
In Generation I games, if the player saves at the [[Cycling Road]] and then creates a new game, it will not be possible to use the [[Bicycle]] or {{m|Surf}} anywhere until this glitch is fixed. If the player attempts to use either of them, it will fail and the game will display the same error message that would appear if the player tried to do this in the Cycling Road itself.

Even with this glitch active, the player can still surf by using the surfboard item named "?????", which is [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]].

This glitch exists because the bit 5 of the memory address D732 (D731 in Yellow) is turned on while the player is in the Cycling Road, which causes the player to be unable to use the Bicycle or Surf. When the player creates a new game, usually all the data from a previous game would be deleted, but this memory address remains in the new game.

This glitch is fixed (that is, the memory address is properly updated) if the player [[black out|blacks out]] (either in battle or the overworld), uses {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Fly}} outside of battle, uses an [[Escape Rope]], or enters and leaves the Cycling Road.

See also: [https://archives.glitchcity.info/wiki/WRAM_clear_oversight_(Generation_I).html WRAM clear oversight (Generation I)] in [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

===Ghost identity unveiling===
When encountering a {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] without having a [[Silph Scope]], it is possible to see its true identity by viewing the stats of any Pokémon in the player's party. However, this glitch is only graphical, and it is still impossible to [[Pokémon battle|fight]] or catch it.

{{Youtubevid|UMIowBT4Fck|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Ghost}}

===Ghost Marowak bypassing===
Using a [[Poké Doll]] on the {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|ghost Marowak}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] with or without the [[Silph Scope]] will cause it to permanently disappear.

{{Youtubevid|p_muMF45X-4|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Ghost}}

===Glitch City===
{{main|Glitch City}}

===Hall of Fame corruption===
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Some corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
{{main|MissingNo.#Glitches caused}}
When [[glitch Pokémon]] have been seen on the save file, the player's [[Hall of Fame]] is badly corrupted with entirely different Pokémon, even glitch Pokémon, and very glitched characters, names and levels. This does not affect the Pokémon themselves, rather the data seen in the Hall of Fame, and is caused by the contents of the sprite decompression buffer that is stored in SRAM overflowing into memory allocated for save data when a glitch Pokémon's sprite is decompressed.
{{-}}

===Haze opponent crippling===
If {{m|Haze}} is used to thaw a frozen Pokémon when it still needs to recharge from {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the Pokémon will thaw out but it will be unable to make a move until it faints even if a {{t|Fire}} type move is used later. This glitch was fixed in [[Pokémon Stadium]].

It is similar to the [[Sky Drop glitch]] in [[Generation V]], because both glitches permanently make the opponent unable to move until it faints or is switched out (although switching out the Pokémon is normally not possible).

{{Youtubevid|FjZreYA2m_w|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===HP recovery move failure===
If a Pokémon uses a recovery move ({{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Rest}} or {{m|Recover}}) and the difference between its current HP and maximum HP is 255 or 511 (or any number that leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256), the move will fail the same way it would when the difference is 0. This glitch does not occur in Pokémon Stadium.

This is caused by the comparison that checks whether the current HP matches the maximum HP erroneously not correctly incorporating the upper byte of the HP values.

{{Youtubevid|sqkBby1HlmY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|HP}}

===Hyper Beam + Sleep move glitch===
If a Pokémon that has just used {{m|Hyper Beam}} and has yet to recharge is targeted with a sleep-inducing move, any other status it may already have ({{status|paralysis}}, {{status|burn}}, {{status|poison}}, or {{status|freeze}}) will be ignored and sleep will be induced regardless. In addition, the sleep-inducing move will never miss, as it will skip any accuracy checks in a similar way to {{m|Swift}}.

Furthermore, if the Pokémon was badly poisoned (by {{m|Toxic}}), [[#Toxic counter glitches|the Toxic counter will not be reset]].

{{Youtubevid|x2AgAdQwyGI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Poison}}

===Index #000 post-capture===
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]] or [[3TrainerPoké $]] an invisible wild {{p|Ditto}} will still be in battle with the player where 'M (00) was before, and the battle will not end. This Ditto can then be caught.
{{youtubevid|x_TS7pVybKg|pandakekok|glitch}}

===Invisible Prof. Oak===
If the player attempts to leave too many times when choosing their first Pokémon then the player, Prof. Oak and the middle Poké Ball's sprites will vanish. Pressing start will pull up some glitched text on the screen, but exiting the start menu will fix everything.

{{Youtubevid|v643yIvK6pM|channel/UCEMkwecMv0-PvQFMB1swUAA|name=BungiePhantom|Glitch}}

===Invulnerability glitch===
In [[Generation I]], if a Pokémon is fully {{status|Paralysis|paralysed}} or hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} while in the semi-invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}, all moves (with the exception of {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Transform}} and possibly the unleashed damage from {{m|Bide}}) from the opponent will miss or fail until the user switches Pokémon, finishes the battle or successfully performs a {{cat|Moves with a charging turn|charging move}} (specifically, Fly, Dig, {{m|Razor Wind}}, {{m|Skull Bash}}, and {{m|Solar Beam}}). The user's Pokémon can attack normally during this glitch.

This glitch was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.

{{Youtubevid|bNzDmXbZ7kY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Ground}}

===Item duplication glitch===
{{main|Item duplication glitch}}

===Item underflow glitch===
{{main|Item underflow}}

===Landing on an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC below a ledge that can be jumped over (by blocking their movement in certain directions), it is possible to land on top of the NPC when they jump over the ledge.

{{Youtubevid|ztlm3AuPBBI|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Kanto}}

===Level-up learnset skipping===
Pokémon cannot learn moves they should learn at a level if they earn enough experience at once to skip that level.

For example, if a level 4 {{p|Pidgey}} earned enough experience points for defeating a single Pokémon to reach level 6, it will not learn {{m|Sand-Attack}}, a move it would normally learn at level 5.

{{Youtubevid|Fvn7xHxb6BU|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Leveling past 100===
In Generation I and II, if a Pokémon is obtained at a level above 100, it can be leveled up with [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] up to level 255. If a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, its level will be reset to 0 due to an overflow in a single byte. If a Pokémon above level 100 levels up due to [[experience]], its level will be reset to 100.

{{Youtubevid|Gws8iOPuj-k|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Menu glitch===
If the player holds A when the game is saving, the menu won't disappear until player stops holding A.

{{Youtubevid|iF1ik0TDCeI|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Glitch}}

===Mew glitch===
{{main|Mew glitch}}

===Mirror Move glitch===
During a Link Battle, if {{m|Mirror Move}} and a {{cat|Binding moves|binding move}} (such as {{m|Wrap}} or {{m|Fire Spin}}) are used together, the two player's games may become desynchronized due to one game interpreting that the attack used was Mirror Move (and failing) and the other game interpreting that the binding move was used instead.

{{Youtubevid|O8GMyy7x3WE&NR|channel/UCqnd5LOJjH5SURgI2RuYFBg|name=SloshedMail|Normal}}

===Pallet Town NPC misplacement===
If the player stands outside of Professor Oak's Lab in Pallet Town, the person outside it will eventually stand on the Lab's door. This is because the door tile was programmed as a non-solid tile.

{{Youtubevid|EuD_Q8MhhxE|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Perpetual spinning animation===
If the player saves the game having just entered the Safari Zone and leaves, the game assumes that the player is just entering the Safari Zone entrance, as it does not save that the player is currently in a paid Safari Zone session. Thus, upon passing by the desk, the player is prompted to pay for another Safari Zone session, although they are now traveling out towards the town below. Because the player is supposedly in a Safari Zone session, the game counts down steps passively. Upon exiting towards the bottom into Fuchsia City, the player must Fly to Viridian City and enter Giovanni's Gym. Inside, the player must walk along the spinners, proceeding to be spun around. After taking enough steps to deplete the (invisible) counter, the player freezes, the PA "ding-dong" noise will sound, and a message will pop up saying that the player's Safari Zone session is now over. If the player is in the middle of a spin while this happens, the player will be transported to the Safari Zone entrance as if they had just left the Safari Zone, and upon moving will perform the spin animation, and move slower. The player has full control over the movement of the character; the only difference is that instead of the walking animation, the spinning animation is played.

The glitch can be fixed by returning to the location where the player ran out of Safari Zone steps.

{{Youtubevid|UhTQfoug8GU|channel/UCEMkwecMv0-PvQFMB1swUAA|name=BungiePhantom|Glitch}}

====Changing the Player's sprite====
A sub glitch involves changing [[Red (game)|Red]]'s sprite into the sprite of another NPC. While the player is in the perpetual spinning state, they must enter a [[Pokémon Center]] then turn on the PC while hold left, then close the PC while still holding left. Red's sprite will now be replaced with the overworld sprite of an NPC based on the location of the Pokémon Center. The following list shows the towns that correspond to which overworld sprite the player will be turned into:

*Pallet Town: Professor Oak
*Viridian City: Professor Oak
*Pewter City: Lass
*Cerulean City: Lass
*Vermilion City: Lass
*Lavender Town: Jr. Trainer ♂
*Celadon City: Police officer
*Fuchsia City: Swimmer
*Saffron City: Jr. Trainer ♂
*Cinnabar Island: Professor Oak
*Indigo Plateau: Police officer
*Routes: Lass

Leaving the building or not moving will return Red's sprite back to normal.

{{Youtubevid|mzSaAxH38|name=RukarioSan|RukarioSan|Glitch}}

===Poison/Burn animation with 0 HP===

If a poisoned/burned Pokémon with low HP is confused and in the next turn loses its HP, the HP will be 0, but before it faints, the message and the animation of the poison/burn will appear, although the Pokémon doesn't have any HP. This also happen with a move which reduces the user's HP, like Take Down. This was fixed in Pokémon Gold/Silver.

{{Youtubevid|sIp6YsFt1Jw|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Fire}}

===Pokémon merging===
{{main|Pokémon merge glitch}}

===Pokémon Storage System cloning===
{{main|Cloning glitches#Storage system method}}

===Pokémon Storage System healthy party deposit===
It is possible for the player to deposit all Pokémon except [[Fainting|fainted]] ones and a [[black out]] will occur but only after four steps in the same session. In {{2v2|Red|Blue}} it is possible to progress further by saving the game before traveling four steps to reset the 'remaining step count' to 4 when the game is reset, though this is no longer the case in {{game|Yellow}} because the remaining step count was changed to default to 1 step. The player immediately has a black out if entering a battle with just fainted Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|b4syMSxrkbI|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|HP}}

===Prevented progress===
If the player has at least two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} registered as caught in the [[Pokédex]] before obtaining it from {{prof|Oak}} (either multiple non-related species or an evolved form of the [[starter Pokémon]]), the game will assume that they already have the Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed.

This [[glitch]] affects all versions of the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s|Red, Green}} (1.0 and 1.1), {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Blue}}, and {{v2|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3). The glitch is fixed in the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but remained in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}.

{{Youtubevid|OS-v0tGk90g|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

In the Japanese Pokémon Yellow, it is also possible to perform this glitch by exploiting the [[:#Save corruption|save corruption]] glitch.

{{Youtubevid|U05icPzktes|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Yellow}}

===Psywave desynchronization===
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Psywave}} in a link battle, there is a small chance the games will generate a different number of pseudo-random numbers, causing desynchronization.

When a Pokémon uses Psywave, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If the player uses Psywave, if the generated number is greater than or equal to 1.5× the Pokémon's level (rounded down) or it is 0, the number is discarded and a new number generated; if the opponent uses Psywave, if the generated number is greater than or equal to the Pokémon's level, the number is discarded and a new number generated. As such, if the generated number is 0, the Psywave user's game will generate a new number, whereas the non-Psywave user's game will not. This causes all subsequent pseudo-random numbers to be desynchronized.

{{Youtubevid|5KmTCdnWzVI|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Psywave infinite loop===
If a level 0, 1 or 171 Pokémon uses {{m|Psywave}}, the game will continuously generate pseudo-random numbers, [[softlock|hanging indefinitely]]. However, this is not an issue in normal gameplay, as Pokémon can only be obtained at these levels via glitches.

When a Pokémon uses Psywave, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If the generated number is greater than or equal to 1.5× the Pokémon's level (rounded down) or it is 0, the number is discarded and a new number generated. As such, there is no number that can be generated for a level 0 or level 1 Pokémon that will not result in the result being discarded and a new number being generated.

If a level 171 Pokémon uses Psywave, the upper bound would be 256; however, since this value is stored in a single byte, it overflows to 0, causing the same issue as a level 0 Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|VyIFL_-l2o4|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Red Bar Glitch===
If a Pokémon is in a critical health status, the game will start to play a sound to let the player know their Pokémon is low on health and about to possibly faint. This sound has an unintended side effect of causing other sounds and animations to not play. This glitch has become very well known and is used often in speedruns for the Generation I games.

===Rematching Trainers===
To perform this glitch, the player must have some Pokémon which can lose a battle easily, so they may wish to have one Pokémon, a {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon or both. They must be inside a [[cave]], e.g. [[Mt. Moon]] or {{ka|Victory Road}}. They must, finally, have access to an unbattled Trainer who is in a [[cave]]. They must encounter a wild Pokémon while in a Trainer's eyeline. This wild Pokémon must proceed to defeat the player, sending them to a [[Pokémon Center]]. They then must re-enter the cave the Trainer is in. The Start menu will pop up. Upon closing it, the Trainer they escaped from will fight the player. However, if the player defeats them, this is not interpreted as beating the Trainer, and the player can challenge them again.

===Rhydon glitch===
{{main|Rhydon glitch}}

===Save corruption===
In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, with no save file, when the player saves the game and turns off the power a little time after the Yes/No box disappears the player will have 255 Pokémon in the party the next time the file is loaded.

If the player turns the power off at the wrong time, the save file will either be corrupted or will appear normal. The right time to pull off the glitch is about twenty frames after the A button is pressed, but in Yellow it is about ten frames later.

The first few Pokémon are level 255 [['M (FF)]] (Red/Blue) or [[Q_◣]] (Yellow), with all of their stats as "F35" (65535), four TM55 as their moves with 63/0 [[Power Points|PP]] and with a nickname and OT of many repeating "9"s. Pokémon past number six do not have all of these properties.

The data regarding Pokémon past the sixth position use other parts of the game's memory misinterpreted as Pokémon data, therefore swapping these Pokémon around or healing them can affect the game. If the player switches the first Pokémon with the tenth Pokémon, they will have 255 items. Switching the items past slot 20 will allow for more precise memory editing because there are only two pairs of memory addresses manipulated; displayed as an item and item quantity, while a "post-six" Pokémon uses many more bytes.

After performing the glitch, the poison effect will occur as the player walks around. In English versions, swapping the first-ninth Pokémon with the tenth will cause to player to have seen and owned 152 Pokémon in the Pokédex.

The Pokémon in the 10th slot will change to a different glitch pokemon as the player walks around to different areas, making it theroetically possible to obtain every Glitch Pokémon in the game.

Using the following equation, it is possible to calculate what memory address any item, including invalid items is using, provided that the memory address is odd.

Memory address = [First item position address -1] + [Cursor position] + ([Cursor position -1])<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6472.msg187703.html#msg187703 Glitch City Laboratories - Pokémon Yellow "Save Abuse" Glitch thread - post by Torchickens].</ref>

The item address that follows an item is displayed as a quantity.

====Beating the game quickly====
As there are no memory protection measures in place in the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, it is possible to use this glitch to do a number of things, such as beating the game in under five minutes. Below is one method of doing this that requires no luck manipulation:

In Pokémon Yellow, the memory address <tt>D364</tt> is used for the last map location for walking through certain exits, including the exit for [[Red (game)|Red]]'s house and the first item position address is <tt>D31D</tt>. This means that the correct cursor position can be expressed as:

<tt>D364</tt> = D31C + [cursor position] + [cursor position -1]

This has no actual answer because D364 (54116) is even, so the address must be a quantity, but if <tt>D363</tt> is used, the answer comes to hex: <tt>24</tt> (dec: 36). Therefore, the memory address <tt>D363</tt> (current block of the player's X-position) corresponds to item position 36 (hex: <tt>24</tt>) and the quantity of item 36 is the aforementioned warp location address. The cursor position in hexadecimal can be checked by highlighting an item in game and checking the memory address <tt>CC35</tt>.

As the [[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|index number of Pallet Town]] is 0, the player can access 255 locations by tossing the 36th item (as tossing one ×0 item causes an underflow to 255). The index number of the [[Hall of Fame]] room is 118, so the player must toss exactly 138 of item 36 to change the warp destination to the Hall of Fame. If the player stands on the right side of the exit mat item 36 should be a [[Master Ball]], while if the player stands on the left side of the exit mat, it should be the hex:00 glitch item which would appear as some glitchy blocks with a multiplication sign in it.

{{Youtubevid|OyhEKG_g53o|channel/UClgilE1XxsorM1iX9YtS4FA|name=Scykoh|Glitch}}

====In Japanese versions====
The glitch works in Japanese Blue but the game has to be reset some time after the "!" mark appears in "(PLAYERNAME)はレポートにしっかりかきのこした!". In Japanese Yellow it is possible with the same procedure as English Red/Blue and Yellow, but in order to corrupt the number of items the player has to replace the ninth Pokémon instead of the tenth to avoid a freeze after closing the items pack.

{{Youtubevid|U05icPzktes|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Save data carryover===
Using a procedure similar to the save corruption glitch, it's possible to begin a new save file, but having the party Pokémon from the previous save file. With an already existing save file, player must start a new game then save to overwrite the previous save, but turn off the game or reset shortly after the Yes/No box disappears. The exact timing is a difficult two frame window, doing it too early corrupts the previous save file and doing it too late completely overwrites the previous save file.

If successful, the player will begin the new save data while having the party Pokémon from the previous save file in their party. This glitch can be used at the beginning of the game to obtain all three starter Pokémon without trading.

{{Youtubevid|LbBDINWHe2Y|name=johnr754 R.|johnr754 R.|Glitch}}

===Save reset oversight===
This is a glitch that causes the player to always receive the "''You can't get off here.''" message when trying to use the [[Bicycle]] even when they are not on the Bicycle. It also causes the "''Cycling is fun! Forget <sc>Surf</sc>ing!''" message to appear when trying to use {{m|Surf}} (using the {{DL|List of unobtainable items|?????}} "Surfboard" item doesn't cause this message to appear).

If the player's current save is on {{rt|16|Kanto}}, {{rt|17|Kanto}} or {{rt|18|Kanto}} (Cycling Road), the WRAM address D732 (D731 in {{game|Yellow}}) is normally set to 21h (5th bit is on).

Normally when the player brings up the Continue/New Game/Option menu many of the variables from the current save are loaded so that the game works properly when the player selects the "Continue" option. Most of these variables are reset back to their default value if a new game is loaded but not the WRAM address D732 (possibly due to an oversight by the game developers).

This means starting a New Game with the current save on Cycling Road will cause the "''You can't get off here.''" message to appear when trying to use the Bicycle from any location. The effects of this glitch are only visible once the player obtains the Bicycle or the Soul Badge and a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}}.

The glitch can be fixed by performing any one of these actions:

* Using {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Fly}}, or an [[Escape Rope]]
* Entering and leaving Cycling Road
* Blacking out (both in battle and in the overworld)

It has been reported that this glitch may occur without starting a new save file when the current save is on Cycling Road, but the cause is unknown.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6706.msg190402.html#msg190402 Glitch City Laboratories forums - "Pokemon Red/Blue Bicycle Glitch, newly discovered?" thread, post by VAAMusicalMike]</ref>

Another version of this glitch can (but not always) appear when performing the Fossil conversion glitch in the Japanese {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}.<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6621.msg190080.html Glitch City Laboratories forums - "An addendum to the Fossil conversion glitch" thread, post by Torchickens]</ref> Unlike the "New Game" version, entering and leaving Cycling Road doesn't fix the glitch.

{{Youtubevid|YXa96wnSIOQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Glitch}}

===Save Surf exploit===
The glitch is performed by standing next to a [[water tile]] that is facing up, left, or right, walk in that direction and pressing start without letting go of the D-Pad. The game then needs to be [[save]]d and reset. When loading the saved data, the player will be facing in the direction that was being held down when the start button was pressed. Using {{m|Surf}} will cause the player to surf on the tile immediately south, even if it is not a water tile.

When loading a save file, the player usually starts facing south. This is because of the limited data in the game. This glitch causes the player to face in a different direction, which confuses the game.

Since statues are [[#Statue water tile oversight|treated as water tiles]], this glitch can be performed by using a statue as the water tile. Most notably, this glitch can be used to bypass the sailor in order to re-board the [[S.S. Anne]] after it has set sail.

===Sprite corruption===
[[File:Sprite glitch.png|thumb|The sprite corruption as seen in [[Generation I]] games|160px]]
The '''sprite corruption glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that alters the appearance of the {{wp|Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites}} in [[Generation I]], making the sprites appear to be cut into pieces or even unrecognizable in some instances.

In [[Generation I]], many [[glitch Pokémon]] will distort battle sprites upon their encounter; however, this can be fixed by viewing the stats of a non-glitched Pokémon in the overworld. There are other methods to the glitch, some of which involve using a [[Pokémon Center]] to heal the player's Pokémon when in a glitched area, visiting [[Glitch City]], or catching certain glitch Pokémon.

In other generations, it may occur when a [[Cheating|cheating device]] is used.

===Stat modification errors===
Every time a Pokémon successfully uses a move that affects a stat stage (either raising for example with {{m|Double Team}}, or lowering it for example with {{m|Screech}}) of any of the two Pokémon in battle, the following happens:
* The stat in question is recalculated from its out-of-battle stat and stat stage.
* If the target was the player's Pokémon, [[badge]] boosts are applied to all of its stats (if the player has the corresponding badge), boosting them by 1/8.
* If the Pokémon whose turn it is not is paralyzed, its current Speed stat gets quartered.
* If the Pokémon whose turn it is not is burned, its current Attack stat gets halved.

This leads to three notable unintended stat-related effects:
* Whenever one of the player's Pokémon's stat stages is modified, all of its other badge-boosted stats are multiplied by 1.125 again, even though they were already boosted. (The affected stat is recalculated correctly.) This effect can stack until a stat reaches the maximum of 999.
* When a Pokémon is burned or paralyzed, the Attack/Speed drop from the status will be applied again whenever its opponent uses a move that modifies stat stages (either raising its own or lowering the enemy's). This will similarly stack until the stat in question has dropped to the minimum of 1.
* When a burned or paralyzed Pokémon raises its Attack or Speed stat respectively with moves such as Swords Dance or Agility, the stat is recalculated in accordance with the boosted stat stage, but the status drop is not applied to it afterwards (since it's erroneously applied to the wrong Pokémon), effectively nullifying its effects.

All of these issues were fixed in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].

===Statue water tile oversight===
The player can use {{m|Surf}} or a [[Fishing|Fishing rod]] when facing the right or left of a [[Gym]] statue. The [[Old Rod]] continues to pull up {{p|Magikarp}}, as it ignores location, but the [[Super Rod]] (and the [[Good Rod]] in Yellow) will display the message "Looks like there's nothing in here..." everywhere other than the [[Cerulean Gym]], which has wild Pokémon normally.

{{Youtubevid|BgcDXeDaw0M|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Water}}

===Struggle bypassing===
In Generation I, a Pokémon can avoid using {{m|Struggle}} by allowing the game to self-select a move to be used, which can happen to any move used immediately after a Pokémon is thawed out after being {{status|Freeze|frozen}}, or due to the effects of one of several moves ({{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Wrap}}) because of the auto-selection involved with {{cat|binding moves}}. A move used with 0 [[PP]] in this way {{wp|Arithmetic underflow|underflows}} to the maximum possible value, 63 PP; due to the way the data is structured, if this occurs, a move on which 0 [[PP Up]]s had been used will gain full PP Up status, while a move on which PP Ups had been used loses one PP Up boost.

From Generation II onward, this bug is addressed by preventing a move from being executed if it has 0 PP.

===Substitute HP drain bug===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Japanese versions of {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}, and the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], [[HP]]-draining [[move]]s always miss when used against a target that is behind a {{m|substitute}}.

In the Western versions of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, HP-draining moves are supposed to behave the same way, but instead can hit the substitute (like any other move) due to a programming oversight.

{{Youtubevid|Rrn4rtQXYQ0|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Substitute sprite vanishing===
Using a sacrificial move like Explosion on a substitute and having the damage break the substitute prevents the user from fainting. The sprite of the user vanishes regardless.

===Substitute + Confusion glitch===
If a Pokémon with a Substitute up hurts itself due to confusion, or due to {{m|Jump Kick}}'s or {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}'s side effect, damage will be dealt to the opponent's Substitute instead. If the opponent doesn't have a Substitute up no damage will be dealt to any Pokémon.

{{Youtubevid|jw24URgBi5o|channel/UCQcizw_rc-q55lmwU3w6-wA|name=Crystal_|Psychic}}

===Substitute and Minimize glitch===
If the enemy uses Substitute or Minimize and the player goes to view the stats of any Pokémon and then return to the battle, the sprites will be changed. The enemy will have the sprite of the Pokémon's player but broken, and the Pokémon of the player will have the Substitute or Minimize sprite. The sprite of the rival can change if the player goes to view the stats of any Pokémon in the team.

===S.S. Anne reboarding===
[[File:Pokemon Red Reboard SS Anne.png|thumb|The player surfing on top of the sailor]]
After the [[S.S. Anne]] leaves the dock for the first time, it's possible to make it reappear later. To perform this glitch, the player must stand one tile above and to the left of the sailor guarding the harbor, take a step right and hit the Start button at the same time, save and reboot. After verifying that the player is facing right and without moving, a Pokémon must be selected to {{m|Surf}}, thus making the player surf on top of the sailor. Then, after walking down to the harbor, the boat can be entered.

===Toxic counter glitches===
====With Leech Seed====
If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}} (or was under that effect and healed itself with {{m|Rest}}), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's '''N''' parameter, and will increase each turn. This does not occur in [[Generation II]] onward.

{{Youtubevid|bNjEFgsIIIY|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Poison|Grass}}

====With Rest====
If a Pokémon {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} uses {{m|Rest}}, the Toxic counter will remain, with the '''N''' value not being reset. If a Pokémon is then poisoned, {{status|burn}}ed, or affected by Leech Seed, the damage will draw upon (and increment) the '''N''' value, and will increase each turn. This does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} or [[Generation II]] onward.

===Trapping sleep glitch===
To perform this glitch, player's Pokémon has to be {{cat|Binding moves|bound}} by another Pokémon. Because it is bound, the player should use healing items until the binding ends. If the opposing Pokémon then puts player's Pokémon to sleep on the turn the binding ends, the player's Pokémon will never move. To fix the glitch, the player has to cure the sleep status.

===Vending machine glitch===
If the player has enough money to buy a [[Fresh Water]] (at least {{pdollar}}200) but not enough to afford a [[Soda Pop]] or [[Lemonade]], the [[vending machine]]s atop [[Celadon Department Store]] still allow these more expensive drinks to be purchased. The player's money will be reduced to {{pdollar}}0 rather than becoming a negative number.

===Victory Road Bicycle music quirk===
If, while riding the [[Bicycle]] in [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]], the player falls through a hole, they will, on landing, no longer be riding the Bicycle; nonetheless, the Bicycle theme music will continue to play until the player enters a battle, leaves the dungeon, changes floors, or resets the game.

This glitch occurs neither in the Japanese nor the international versions of Pokémon Yellow; instead, the Bicycle music does not play at all in Victory Road.

===Walking through an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC onto the path that Professor Oak takes to bring the player to the laboratory, Professor Oak and the player will walk right over and through her.

{{Youtubevid|vfK_v_qu380|channel/UCgA3xOk7QY4MOYhc7EBFe0g|name=Wooggle|Glitch}}

===Walking through walls===
To walk through walls, the player must first trick the game into letting them exit the {{safari|Kanto}} while it still thinks the Safari Game is running. To do this the player must enter the Safari Zone, paying {{Pokedollar}}500 to play. Next the player must try to exit the Safari Zone, but when asked if they want to leave early, they must select no. Now, the player must save the game and restart. When the game loads, the player must again exit the Safari Zone, but this time, the attendant will treat the player as if they entered from [[Fuchsia City]], and when the attendant asks if the player wants to play the Safari Game, the player must select no. From there on there are two methods to doing the glitch

====Ledge jump method====
For this method, the player must first get a {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon before entering the Safari Zone, and deposit all of their other Pokémon in the PC. Either the poisoned Pokémon must have high HP (over 124) or the player must have enough [[Potion]]s to keep it from fainting too early. Then the player must enter the Safari Zone only with the poisoned Pokémon, then follow the above steps.

After setting up the glitch, the player then jump off a ledge exactly when the game thinks the Safari Game should end. When the player jumps off a ledge, they temporarily lose collision interactions with solid objects until they land on the lower ground, so if the game transitions to another map before the player can land, the collision interactions are never restored. To make extended use of this glitch, the player must also black out while inside the Safari Zone's entrance building after being warped back when the Safari Game ended.

From there, the player must walk 499 steps, ending at a position in the city where they can jump off a ledge with one more step. (The poisoned Pokémon loses HP every four steps and causes the screen to flash, so it is possible to count 124 flashes and take 3 further steps. By the same token, it is also possible to calculate a loss of 124 HP for the poisoned Pokémon and track its HP.) If the poisoned Pokémon has less than 124 HP, a Potion must be used on it to prevent it from fainting.

After the player has walked 499 steps and is in an appropriate position, they must jump off the ledge so that they are in midair when they run out of steps for the Safari Game (with the glitched drop shadow sprite underneath the player). They will be warped back to the Safari Zone entrance building and the background music will stop. The player is now able to walk through walls, but attempting to leave the building without the doors at this point would cause the game to crash. Talking to the man will only cause him to say "Welcome to the Safari Zone" without actually asking if the player wants to enter. If the player enters the Safari Zone, they will have over 100 Safari Balls and possibly infinite steps, but the player can't walk through walls anymore. If the player walks around in the building until the poisoned Pokémon faints, they will black out and be warped to the last [[Pokémon Center]] they healed at, and from there they will be able to walk through walls anywhere outdoors. The glitch wears off when entering a door (the normal entrance square to the bridge to the S.S. Anne where the NPC normally stops the player counts as a door).

====Pewter Museum guide NPC method====
Another simpler method is to use the NPC that guides the player to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. What the player must do is run out of Safari Zone steps during the cutscene where the NPC is guiding the player to the museum. If done correctly, the player will be teleported to the Safari Zone entrance, then upon leaving will instead be exiting from the [[PokéMart]] in [[Pewter City]] and a textbox pops up. Then they must save and reset.

Afterwards the player will find the NPC infinitely walking downwards and looping each time he goes offscreen. The player must then talk to him while standing to the right of the Pokémon Center entrance, which begins a walking sequence with the menu repeatedly popping up. Holding B allows the player to walk anywhere except down. If player uses Fly, they will be able to walk through walls in any direction while holding the B button, until they enter a door or Trainer battle.

====Outcome====
If done correctly the player will enter a state where they can walk through any solid object. If the ledge jump method was used, the player can still talk to NPCs and interact with them as normal. If the Pewter Museum guide method was used, the player cannot interact with NPCs or objects on the overworld. Trainer battles will still trigger (however, upon completion of the battle, normal collision effects will be restored) and normal chat dialogue will remain. The player can interact with the "on display" Pokémon in Fuchsia City where their only dialogue is "!". If the player heads to Cycling Road and finishes a trainer battle, they can walk around without a bike. If the player battles a trainer while standing on water, they will be unable to move in any direction without the use of Surf after the battle.

The player is also able to fly and retain the ability to walk through walls. Under certain scenarios, this glitch may trigger the Glitch City glitch. Depending on the location, the overworld can have incorrect tilesets. For example Indigo Plateau has a unique tilesets, thus Flying there then walking in other places in Kanto causes buildings and other tiles to look unusual.

Saving the game and reloading it restores normal collision effects. If the player stands on Cycling Road and saves and loads the game, they can walk around on Cycling Road without a bicycle. Saving and loading the game while on a water tile causes the player to be unable to move without the use of Surf. Saving and loading the game while standing on top of the guard to the S.S. Anne allows the player to enter the bridge and then the ship. If an NPC forces the player to move, the glitch is cancelled.

This glitch may also replace the sprites of some Trainers.

===Yami shop===
The "Yami shop" glitch changes the selection of items that can be bought in any [[Poké Mart]]. To perform it the player must have obtained a glitch item with an unterminated name, one recommended item is "PC" in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which can be obtained with [[item underflow]]. The player must first open the Pokémon menu in a certain location, the most recommended location is in front of the cashier, however it can be done in certain other locations as long as at least one tree tile is between the Pokémon menu and player's name, and the player does not open the Start menu again before speaking to the cashier. Next the player should attempt to sell the glitch item and cancel (sometimes the player is unable to sell it). The music will then fade out, then at this point the player should select "Buy".

Doing this corrupts the selection of purchasable items, allowing glitch items or normally non-purchasable items to be bought. The player can now buy items such as [[Safari Ball]]s or [[Master Ball]]s, and other items which normally cannot be bought ([[Oak's Parcel]], [[Gym Badges]], etc). Many items that are normally unable to be bought will not have a price. The selection of items vary depending on where the player last opened the Pokémon menu.

====Evolution stone bypassing====
{{GlitchResearch|Glitch Pokémon which evolve by items}}
{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone}} can be evolved without the use of an [[Evolution stone]] after a {{pkmn|battle}}. If the Pokémon has [[level]]ed up during the battle, and the battle has been finished with another [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] whose [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index number]] corresponds to the [[List of items by index number (Generation I)|index number]] of the Evolution stone that causes the [[Evolution]], the game will erroneously begin the Evolution as if the Pokémon evolved after leveling up.

{{Youtubevid|3dYWCKeTDXM|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Green}}

====Hooked Dragonite glitch====
The Hooked Dragonite glitch is one of several odd effects that can occur after running out of Safari Zone steps while the NPC is guiding Red to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The player must first perform the Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick and try to run out of steps as the NPC in Pewter City is guiding the player to the museum. If done correctly, the player will be teleported to the Safari Zone entrance, then upon leaving will instead be exiting from the [[PokéMart]] in [[Pewter City]] and a textbox pops up. Then they must save and reset.

Afterwards the player will find the NPC infinitely walking downwards and looping each time he goes offscreen. The player must then talk to him while standing to the left of the Pokémon Center entrance, then instead of a usual walking sequence, Red and the NPC will be indefinitely standing in place while the "follow me" music slowly fades out. Eventually this "staring contest" ends with the textbox that would've been displayed once the walking sequence ends. Closing the textbox will put the player in a battle with a "Hooked Dragonite" (hence the name) with the Gym Leader battle music, however all of the player's controls are disabled and they are soft locked.

Talking to the Pewter Museum guide at different locations will cause other effects to occur, one example includes an alternative method to [[#Walking through walls|walk through walls]].

=====Causes=====
The first part of the glitch is caused by interrupting the walking sequence. When the NPC is spoken to, the game disables all of the player's controls and moves Red and the NPC at the same time to give the illusion that Red is following him, then once it ends, the NPC walks down to leave and the controls are returned to the player. If the walking sequence is interrupted, controls are not returned to the player, however thanks to a failsafe mechanic, controls are returned if the player enters another map. After exiting from Pewter City's PokéMart, saving and resetting confuses the game into making the NPC infinitely walk down for 256 steps instead of the usual four. Because the NPC was never intended to walk this far, the game's variables soon overflow forcing him to warp to the top of the visible area.

The effects of this glitch are caused by a buffer overflow that occurs based on the game trying to find a path for the NPC to take in order to reach the destination. The game searches player coordinates from a table to determine the various movements that can be used to bring the player to their destination, as the path is different depending on where he was spoken to. If the coordinates are not present on the table, the game searches beyond the table to find one (as the player was not intended to be able to speak to the NPC in these locations). Most of the time the game cannot find any and the game will soft lock. However if a matching entry happens to be found, the game will use it as movement data and copy it to a buffer until it reaches the first 0xFF terminator byte. The hooked Dragonite is the result of changing the address $D059, ''wCurOpponent'', and the reason controls are disabled is because they were unable to be unlocked when the battle starts with the hooked Dragonite.

====Indoor fishing oversight====
In [[Cerulean Gym]], the [[water tile]]s have [[wild Pokémon]] data programmed in, which allows players to [[Fishing|fish]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, the [[Old Rod]] and [[Good Rod]] work, but the [[Super Rod]] doesn't. The bug then returned in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but it was fixed once more in {{game|Crystal}}.

[[Lorelei]]'s room in [[Indigo Plateau]] also has this issue, which was fixed in Yellow as well.

====Invisible PC access====
[[Celadon Hotel]] is based on the layout design of a [[Pokémon Center]]. In this map, if the player stands in front of where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center, the player can access an invisible PC.

There are also invisible PCs in the same position (accessible by facing up with the coordinates x=13, y=4 xblock=1, yblock=0) in [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] rest houses 2, 3 and 4 ([[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|maps 223-225]]), but these positions are not normally accessible, so memory hacking must be done or [[Arbitrary code execution]] [http://glitchcity.info/w/index.php?title=Invisible_PCs&stable=0#8F_method written using the 8F item] can allow these extra PCs to be accessible without cheating.

All known invisible PCs do not exist in {{game|Yellow}}.

In the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], if the player is standing to the left of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who has the [[Lift Key]] and talks to him, the Lift Key will appear underneath the player when he drops it. The player can still move around and collect it if he moves downward.

This glitch was fixed in {{game|Yellow}}, due to the Grunt automatically dropping the Lift Key as soon as he is defeated.

====Oak Poké Ball delivery text overlapping====
If the player has no new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} registered as caught in the [[Pokédex]] (by only having the [[starter Pokémon]]) and/or no [[Poké Ball]]s in his [[Bag]] (this includes buying/finding/obtaining any and then selling/tossing/[[PC|depositing]] them) after defeating the {{ga|Blue|rival}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, {{prof|Oak}} will give five {{i|Poké Ball}}s to the player after being talked to. During this event in the English versions, one of the lines of his dialogue appears over the previous line, instead of on a new one.

This [[glitch]] occurs in all localizations of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and in the European localizations of {{game|Yellow}}. In the Italian Pokémon Red and Blue, there's also a word in this dialogue that overlaps the right border of the text box. In English Pokémon Yellow, it was fixed but the dialogue contains a typo instead.
{{youtubevid|M_0ivinox1Q|pandakekok|glitch}}

====Overworld sprite misplacement====
If the player does not have the {{ka|Secret Key}} to the [[Cinnabar Gym]], and {{m|surf}}s on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the Gym, a man will appear on the roof of the Gym.

A similar effect happens if the player walks into the [[Vermilion Gym]], walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gate to {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}}. One of the Trainers in the Gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gate there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard.

Both of these variations of this glitch were fixed in some European releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, such as the Spanish version, and in all releases of {{game|Yellow}}.

====Binding move wrong side fainting glitch====
This glitch was introduced in the later revision (v1.1) of Red and Green and seemingly does not occur in the v1.0 release. It was fixed in the English Red and Blue.

When the player's Pokémon is immobile due to being trapped by the opponent's {{cat|Binding moves|binding move}}, but the opponent faints due to {{status|burn}} or {{status|poison}}, then the player's Pokémon will faint in addition to the opponent's Pokémon. This does not occur if the player's Pokémon is the one using the binding move. Despite the player's Pokémon fainting, it will still have full health on the Pokémon menu.

In a link battle, because the Pokémon is only considered to faint on its Trainer's side of the link and not its opponent's side, it can cause a communication error.

====Broken hidden items====
{{main|Broken hidden items}}
In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, there are six hidden items that do not function correctly. These hidden items are believed to have been fixed in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]] and later versions (including the localized versions of the [[Generation I]] games).

Picking up one of these six specific hidden items causes the other five hidden items to disappear. If the player hands over a [[Fossil]] to the scientist in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] (even if they choose not the revive it), all six hidden items reappear.

The broken hidden items cannot be detected by the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]]. Instead, five of these six items have another set of coordinates that the Itemfinder believes them to be located at instead, although there is no item hidden at that position.

After the battle, if the player exits the last text box before returning to the overworld with B, and immediately holds A, Sabrina's before battle text will run again, allowing the player to rematch Sabrina indefinitely.

===Japanese Red, Green, and Blue===
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1.0 and 1.1) unless noted otherwise.

====Articuno binoculars cry glitch====
This glitch involves listening to the cry of the {{p|Articuno}} in the binoculars on the second floor of the gate on Route 15. Listening to it in succession many times can corrupt the cry.

{{Youtubevid|B5ZIz8vb6aQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Empty Pokémon List====
If the player withdraws the [[Potion]] from the PC at the very start of their adventure (meaning before they receive their [[starter Pokémon]]) and then attempts using it, an empty [[Party|Pokémon List]] will appear and the Potion can be used, albeit to no effect. This was fixed for international releases and Pokémon Yellow, which will state "''You don't have any''{{sup/1|RB}}/''a''{{sup/1|Y}} ''POKéMON!''" (Japanese: '''ポケモンが　1ぴきも　いない！''').

{{Youtubevid|rbJCEt6HKhM|channel/UCJ8cXwiP6PH57Ya1i4WKIlg|name=LunarRay|Red|Green}}

====Full Box glitch====
If the player has six Pokémon in their party and all full [[Pokémon Storage System]] Boxes before watching the {{ka|old man}}'s catching demonstration, the game will state that the box is full when the old man tries to capture the {{p|Weedle}}. The game will try to use the Poké Ball again infinitely afterwards, and every attempt results in this message causing an infinite loop. This forces the player to either reset the game or turn the power off. This is because the game thinks that the player is catching a Pokémon, even though it's actually the [[old man]], the game produces a "temporary" Pokémon to hold, and if the catching demonstration ends, that caught Pokémon is deleted.

This glitch was fixed in the Japanese version of {{game|Yellow}} and in the localizations.

{{Youtubevid|FnCTzpgozTU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Pokédex glitch====
In all Japanese Generation I games, if the player evolves their starter Pokémon before bringing Oak his parcel, Oak will assume the player already has the Pokédex and will offer to rate it instead of accepting the parcel. This prevents progression in the game, as the {{ka|old man}} will not move until the player delivers Oak's parcel. The player will also be unable to buy items in the [[Viridian City]] [[Poké Mart]] (because the player is required to deliver the parcel before buying any items).

====Select glitches====
{{main|Select glitches}}

=====Dokokashira door glitch=====
{{main|Dokokashira door glitch}}

=====Second type glitch=====
{{main|Second type glitch}}

====Silph Co. elevator entry swapping====
It is possible to swap the positions of the elevator destinations in [[Silph Co.]] with the '''SELECT''' button as if they were [[item]]s. Doing this in certain ways can change the list type in at least one way (i.e. to a list of 'boxed Pokémon') and corrupt data.

This glitch works in the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the effects differ from {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

{{Youtubevid|fMf7_85ifc8|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Swift effect glitch====
{{m|Swift}} was designed to never miss, but due to a programming error in Pokémon Red, Green and Blue (as well as all known revisions of Japanese Yellow), the move is capable of missing under certain circumstances (i.e. if the foe has raised evasion, or is under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}} or possibly from 1/256 miss chance that affects other 100% accuracy moves) unless the foe has put up a {{m|Substitute}}.

This was amended in the English versions, which have Swift never miss (including when a Pokémon is under the invulnerable stage of Fly or Dig) regardless of whether the foe has set up a Substitute or not.
{{Youtubevid|C6Hkos4vdsU|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Red|Green}}

====Whirlwind text box overflow====
In these games, if a Pokémon uses {{m|Whirlwind}} on a Pokémon with 5 characters in its name, the exclamation mark character overlaps with the border of the text box. This was corrected in the Japanese version of {{game|Yellow}} with the addition of a line break.

{{Youtubevid|o-VeLoDMn9I|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

==Yellow==
'''NOTE:''' The following [[glitch]]es affect all [[Game Boy]] versions of Japanese {{game|Yellow}} (1.0 to 1.3) unless noted otherwise.
===Delayed Pikachu follow===
{{glitchResearch}}
In [[Pokémon Tower]], if the player steps on the purified zone with a fainted Pikachu, and quickly pushes (B) and takes two steps, Pikachu will not match the player's first step until the player takes their second step and will continue to follow at a delay. As a result, Pikachu may end up a space distant from the player or overlapped with them. Walking back onto the purified zone while overlapped will return Pikachu's position to normal, regardless of speed.

{{Youtubevid|sComMo9LaLo|channel/UCTFUiwvd-CKV0GLkf_E21Lw|name=Unowninator|Electric}}

Thanks to the Pikachu off-screen glitch, it can be done everywhere.

{{Youtubevid|Q4TQ1RsBZXM|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===Freezing Pikachu===
If the player jumps off a cliff when Pikachu is dancing, the Pikachu's sprite will be frozen for 7–8 seconds.

{{Youtubevid|9CKIshdKqW4|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===NPC over the grass===

In the Viridian Forest, there is a Lass whose sprite is clearly over the grass. This trainer won't move because she doesn't have a range at which she will walk up to the player, so she has to be battled by walking up and talking to her.

{{Youtubevid|Nwf3YeMEzus|channel/UCCheenv4-UJG9zDa_3kFBNw|name=LanceAndMissingNo.|Electric}}

===Friendship item effect===
This causes a no-effect [[item]] to still increase {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s friendship value. For example, attempting to use a [[Potion]] on a Pikachu that has [[fainting|fainted]] or has full health, an [[Antidote]] when Pikachu is not {{status|poison}}ed, [[Calcium]] when Pikachu has already reached its maximum {{DL|Stat|Special}} [[stat experience]], or [[X Special]] when the Special stat has already been {{DL|Stat#Stat modifiers|raised 6 stages}} in battle. This does not consume the item, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship.

This glitch was fixed in [[Generation II]].

{{Youtubevid|UCKFCI9m4PE|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Electric}}

===Pikachu off-screen glitches===
With the use of in-game event that causes a walking Pikachu to stay (Pikachu being put to sleep by {{p|Jigglypuff}} in [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, Pikachu meeting [[Bill]] at {{rt|25|Kanto|Cerulean Cape}}, Pikachu falling in love with {{p|Clefairy}} at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]]) one can bring the walking Pikachu off the screen and cause memory corruption glitches such as a forced [[Glitch City]] and causing NPCs to turn when they shouldn't, or even having their save file deleted.

For each step Pikachu is off the screen, a memory address is corrupted from D437 and onward, and the values depend on where the player steps, with south being 01, north being 02, west being 03 and east being 04. Through this, the player can make Pikachu's happiness one of these low values, cause a Glitch City and through specific movement, set the play time to 255:59.

In addition to use an in-game event that causes Pikachu to stay, Pikachu can also be forced off the screen with a certain [[Glitch City]] such as {{rt|20|Kanto|Sea Route 20}}'s Safari Zone exit Glitch City, or specific glitch items, including the {{DL|Glitch|glitch item}} “Lg-” (hex:6E) and “Rival's” effect/“Jack” effect glitch items such as “E tE” (in Red/Blue) or “o” (in Yellow); hex:94.

With more advanced applications of the glitch, it is possible to max out Pikachu's happiness or cause it to do one of four special actions (winking, the fishing action, the confused action or the 'disapproval' action) when the player character talks to it. [[Arbitrary code execution]] is also possible by creating a specific glitch sign in the Pokémon Fan Club.

All glitch items are available with the [[item underflow]] glitch. Lg- is also available through [[pPkMnp' ']] (Ditto glitch Special 194) converting a Super Rod when it is the fifth item.

Through an in-game event that causes a walking Pikachu to stay:

Through a Glitch City and glitch item:

{{Youtubevid|evdxp0UgunQ|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Electric}}

==Glitches involving communication with the Generation II games==
===Time Capsule exploit===
{{main|Time Capsule exploit}}

===Trade evolution learnset oversight===
[[Generation I]] Pokémon that can evolve by trading can be taught glitch moves through this glitch. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause that move to become a glitch move.

For example, trading a level {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=34 {{p|Graveler}}|1=34 {{p|Machoke}}|2=31 {{p|Kadabra}}}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=Graveler|1=Machoke|2=Kadabra}} evolve into {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{p|Golem}}|1={{p|Machamp}}|2={{p|Alakazam}}}}. Since it is level {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0=34|1=34|2=31}}, it will learn {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{m|Rollout}}|1={{m|Vital Throw}}|2={{m|Future Sight}}}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so it will become {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:U}} mod 3}}|0={{m|TM05}}|1={{m|TM33}}|2={{m|TM48}}}}.

==Glitches involving communication with Poké Transporter and Pokémon Bank==
===Pokémon Bank hex:FF glitch Pokémon glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Test other glitch Pokémon. Check if there are other ways to prepare the box.}}
If a player attempts to transfer a Box 1 that has one Pokémon, an [['M (00)]] or [[3TrainerPoké $]] and eighteen Pokémon (in that order) through Poké Transporter and a 3DS Virtual Console versions of Red, Blue and Yellow, the Generation I game will be left with one [['M (FF)]] or [[Q ◣]] which is an [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]] of 'M (00) or 3TrainerPoké $ with a blank OT, ID of 00000 and no moves.

This Pokémon can be used for the [[Pokémon merge glitch]] unless stabilized through Day Care back into 'M (00) or 3TrainerPoké $.

Wish Park

2021-02-11T02:27:45Z

TechSkylander1518:

[[File:Wish Palace.png|thumb|250px|right|The Wish Palace]]
'''Wish Park''' (Japanese: '''ウィッシュパーク''' ''Wish Park'') is a location in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. The Wish Park is a mysterious Park that can only be accessed through a portal created when the player has collected enough friends. It is made up of four zones that connect to the Wish Castle. Each Zone houses an Attraction.
{{spoilers}}
At the beginning of the game, Krokorok and Sandile are taking Pokémon to the Wish Park for {{p|Gothita}} who promised them Berries. When {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Piplup}} venture here, they take part in {{p|Cofagrigus}}'s Attraction, {{DL|Attractions|Cake Contraption}}. {{p|Pansear}} then points out the odd behavior of the other Pokémon when they eat the cake from the Attraction and Pikachu and Piplup are saved by {{p|Oshawott}}. They then barely escape Cofagrigus's master's grasp, but Piplup manages to save Pikachu and Oshawott, sacrificing himself to the ominous Pokémon's arms.

Oshawott and Pikachu later return after learning how to open the portal from Krokorok and Sandile, and confront Cofagrigus. After defeating Cofagrigus, they ring that Zone's Wish Bell, freeing all the Cove Area's Pokémon from Cofagrigus's spell.

They later return from the [[Arbor Area]] as they help out a {{p|Zorua}} who has lost her friend, {{p|Zoroark}} after she went to rescue the Pokémon. They immediately find Zoroark in a trance and manage to bring her back to her senses. They group then split up, with Zoroark and Zorua looking for Piplup, and Pikachu, Oshawott, and Snivy to free the enchanted Pokémon. They meet the Zone leader, {{p|Chandelure}} who challenges them to partake in his Attraction. Once his Attraction is passed, he then challenges the player to a battle, and afterwards is confronted by Gothita, {{p|Gothorita}}, and {{p|Gothitelle}}. Zoroark and Zorua then arrive with Piplup, who challenges Gothitelle. Gothitelle refuses, and allows the player to ring the Wish Bell. Piplup then announces that he will stay in Wish Park to warn any Pokémon that make it through about the dangers the Park holds.

Pikachu and pals return to Wish Park via the [[Crag Area]] where they are confronted by {{p|Haxorus}}, {{p|Hydreigon}}, and Gothitelle. Gothitelle demands that Hydreigon and Haxorus defeat Pikachu and the others, and Haxorus volunteers to battle alone. After he is defeated, Gothitelle's master, {{p|Darkrai}}, appears and knocks out both Hydreigon and Haxorus. He then asks that Pikachu and the others join him to help unite the PokéPark and Wish Park. After that, orders Gothitelle to challenge them to her Attraction. Once her Attraction is completed, Pikachu and Pals ring the Wish Bell and regain Victini. However, Gothitelle refuses to return empty handed, and takes Piplup in Victini's place.
[[File:PP2 Darkrai.png|thumb|right|200px|Darkrai as seen in PokéPark 2]]
They return later after speaking to {{p|Reuniclus}}, the creator of Poster Portals, in the [[Tech Area]] and participate in {{p|Sigilyph}}'s attraction, {{DL|Attractions|Flight of Fancy}}. With the final Attraction completed, and the last Wish Bell rung, the four Zones float together and combine to one solid land form. A portal then appears in the centerpiece that takes them to the Wish Palace. Inside, Piplup is seen trying to convince them to stay in Wish Park. They then battle him, assuming he is under Darkrai's influence. He then runs away, and Darkrai appears and steals Oshawott, Snivy, and Tepig's memories. He then puts Pikachu into a nightmare. Piplup suddenly appears in Pikachu's nightmare and brings him back to reality. Pikachu then sets out to find his friends and restore their memories. When they return to the Wish Palace, they challenge Darkrai to the final battle.

With Darkrai defeated, the Dark Vortex wages out of control, devouring both the Wish Park, and the {{ga|PokéPark}}. Reuniclus appears with a new invention that will close the Vortex; however, a Pokémon will have to fly inside the vortex, and will end up trapped inside, unable to escape. Seeing the error in his ways, Darkrai sends himself into the portal with Reuniclus's invention, sealing himself in the Dark Void forever.

With the Dark Vortex closed, the PokéPark, and Wish Park are restored, and are safe for Pokémon to travel to and from. The loss of her master has left Gothitelle heartbroken, spending her time grieving in the Wish Palace. Pikachu and his friends then have {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} return Darkrai from the Dark Void, forgiving him for his actions. Gothitelle is overjoyed by her master's return, and Darkrai realizes who his true friends are.

'''Janine''' (Japanese: '''アンズ''' ''Anzu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. She became a Gym Leader after her father, [[Koga]], was promoted to the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the core series==
Janine's first appearance was in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. Following [[Koga]]'s promotion to the [[Elite Four]], she succeeded him as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in battle. She appears in the same capacity in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Originally, Janine's goal was to use {{type|Poison}} Pokémon just as well as her father. After becoming a Gym Leader, Janine hopes that by applying herself, she'll improve her skills and become better than both her father and (following her loss) the {{player|protagonist}}.

When encountered in her Gym, Janine hides behind the invisible walls that were installed prior to [[Generation I]]/{{Gen|III}}. To further confuse her challengers, the junior Trainers of the Gym are disguised like Janine. Once they have been defeated, the Leader will battle with a team of Poison-type Pokémon. Once defeated, she will yield the {{Badge|Soul}} and a Poison-type [[TM]]: {{TM|06|Toxic}} in Generation II; {{TM|84|Poison Jab}} in Generation IV.

Like the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, Janine will leave her Gym from time to time in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Every evening between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, she can be found at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] near {{ka|Victory Road}}, on her way to visit her father and deliver his lunch (from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, she will say she is done delivering the lunch and offer to take a [[photography|photograph]] with the {{player}}). She will give travelers her phone number, after which she can be called on Monday afternoons to arrange a rematch at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. On Mondays, she can be found in the [[Celadon Department Store]] arguing with [[Falkner]] over which of their fathers is the superior Trainer.

Before the events that led to her employment as the Gym Leader, Janine hung around outside the Fuchsia Zoo. She will tell the protagonist of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} that Koga is teaching her how to use Poison Pokémon, in an obvious reference to the previously-released Generation II games.

==Quotes==
{{main|Janine/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===In the GOTCHA! music video===
Janine briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Janine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Janine in Pokémon Adventures]]
Janine debuted in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]''. She was first seen on a mission where she helped test the security of {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum by pretending to steal a [[Big Pearl]]. After completing the mission, Janine left to ponder what she was doing with her life. Her father, [[Koga]], had served under {{adv|Giovanni}} as both a ninja and a member of [[Team Rocket]]. Koga had intended on having Janine join Team Rocket as well when proper time came, but he eventually disappeared after Team Rocket's defeat, leaving Janine alone without anyone to guide her.

Shortly after, Janine was attacked by {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that had been attacking various other Gym Leaders around [[Johto]]. Hoping that if she managed to capture it, her father would hear about it and return, Janine faced Suicune battle. Though she proved to be a powerful opponent with her variety of ninja techniques, Janine was eventually defeated by Suicune. As Suicune began to leave, Janine realized the reason it was challenging the Gym Leaders was to find a proper Trainer who could command in battle. Finding herself to in a similar situation of not having a master, Janine told Suicune she wished to challenge it again in the future before both went their separate ways.

In ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', Janine participated in an exhibition tournament between the [[Kanto]] and Johto Gym Leaders. During the tournament, she was paired up against [[Falkner]]. In ''[[PS156|Notorious Noctowl]]'', Janine and Falkner began their battle against each other. While both participants used a variety of skills against each other, Janine chose to forfeit the battle in order to pursue what she thought she was her father in the crowd.

In ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose (Part 1)]]'', Janine joined the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders in helping fend off the [[Masked Man]]'s army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from attacking the [[Indigo Plateau]]. As they fought, Janine and the Gym Leaders were led onto the [[Magnet Train]], which the Grunts had used to infiltrate the area. After they got on, the Magnet Train sped away from the area as part of the Masked Man's plot to prevent the Gym Leaders from interfering with his plans. In ''[[PS175|The Last Battle IX]]'', the Magnet Train was stopped by {{adv|Red}}, preventing it from crashing.

|desc={{p|Ariados}} is Janine's first known Pokémon. He was first seen being used to help Janine break into the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum. Later, he was used to battle against [[Falkner]] during the Gym Leader exhibition tournament. Using its powerful thread, it managed to bind Falkner's {{p|Noctowl}}, forcing him to switch for his {{p|Skarmory}}. By using its abdomen, Ariados can produce a thread used for defensive techniques, such as {{m|Spider Web}}, while the thread shot from its mouth is sharp enough to pierce even metal with enough time.

Ariados's known moves are {{m|Spider Web}} and {{m|String Shot}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}} and his Ability is {{a|Insomnia}}.}}

==Trivia==
* In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, her name is mistakenly listed as '''Charine''' in Koga's [[Fame Checker]] entries.
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Janine can appear in two places at once. When she is called for a [[rematch]] on Monday during the day, she will be at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and in the [[Celadon Department Store]], talking to [[Falkner]].
* In the [[Generation II]] games, Janine's whole [[Party|team]] is the opposite [[gender]] to her, despite the 50-50 gender ratio. This was changed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, in which she has an all-female team rather than an all male team like before.
* In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she gives the Soul Badge to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.
* Janine, along with [[Erika]], are the only Kanto Gym Leaders to give the player a TM upon their defeat in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
* Janine is the only Gym Leader who has not appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, not counting {{ga|Blue}}, who has an [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]] in {{Gary}}.
** She is also the only Gym Leader to have debuted in a different [[generation]] than their Gym.
* Janine has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] {{p|Crobat}} in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. The Crobat she uses in the [[Type Expert Tournament/Poison|Type Expert]] and [[World Leaders Tournament/Kanto|World Leaders Tournaments]] knows {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}, both of which it can learn by {{pkmn|breeding}}, but not simultaneously, as there is no Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]] as Crobat that can learn both of these moves.
* Janine and Koga are the only two Gym Leaders to have the same slogan in different generations.
* While Janine doesn't appear and is never mentioned by name in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Koga does mention his daughter in his pre-battle dialogue from the second rematch onward.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Russia}}''' in December of 2000, when [[EP001|''Покемон! Я выбираю тебя!'']] premiered. In Cyrillic script, Pokémon is written as '''Покемон''' and its plural is '''Покемоны''' ''Pokemony'' and is [[#Pokémon and grammar|fully inflected]].

==Pokémon anime==
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Which seasons were dubbed by Pilot Studio and which ones by SDI Media, and if there is any consistency between them or not}}
===First wave of Pokémon===
The Pokémon anime was originally brought to Russia by Sargona Ltd., which sold English-language cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The anime was first shown on ORT (now known as Channel One), which is the main television station in Russia.

[[File:Channel One Russia.png|thumb|left|250px|ORT (Channel One) logo]]
The rights to the series were purchased in early 2000 and episodes began to appear by December of the same year. The Russian translation of the anime, which was conducted by the {{wp|Kiev|Kievian}} Pilot Studio, is based on the English dub. The Russian version of the anime retains all of the English character names to match the Pokémon TCG cards that had been already released.

While the translation quality of the Russian dub is considered to be high by most fans, a few changes had been made. For example, some locations had slightly different names, such as [[Dark City]] being retitled Мрачный Город {{tt|''Mrachnyy Gorod''|Gloomy City}}. However, the lyrics to Pokémon Theme were later retranslated and used in the last episodes of ''[[S01|Indigo League]]''. Any episodes of the anime which were banned in the United States were also [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Russia.

In an interview with Afisha magazine, the management director of children's programming on ORT, {{wp|Sergey Suponev}}, assured viewers in the harmlessness of Pokémon:

<blockquote>
«Our plan to broadcast this show can be called madness by someone. There was a lot of noise around this series all over the world. In fact, it is a pretty harmless thing. A sweet story about a boy who saves animals and teaches them to fight for justice. And there are bad guys who want to send them to the zoo for lots of money - that's all there is to be scandalous.»
</blockquote>

Within a day of the anime's television premiere, the management of public relations of ORT had invited journalists and children from an Otradnoye shelter to a Rolan cinema for a presentation of the series. The children received the presentation well, and then took a quiz organized by ORT.

[[File:EP105.png‎|thumb|right|The last episode shown on ORT: ''Charizard Chills'']]
From December 18, 2000 to January 25, 2001, the anime was broadcasted by ORT. In February 5, 2001 they began to show the series again until August 2001. The last episode to air on ORT was ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. 104 episodes of the [[original series]] were shown.

After this, the Pokémon anime was not aired in Russia for seven years. Many fans wrote to TV channels asking them to air the anime, but the only appearance of Pokémon on Russian TV was the airing of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'' on ORT at 6:00 am.

Many rumors have circulated in speculation of why ORT stopped airing the anime, including:
* A Japanese channel may have shown an offensive video about Russia. This has been unproven.
* Others believe that Russian newspapers and the {{wp|yellow press}} pressured the station to cancel the show. Some reported that Pokémon was causing [[EP038|epileptic seizures]], others wrote that Pokémon "brainwashes children" with {{wp|subliminal stimuli#Consumption and television|subliminal stimuli}}. ORT didn't want its reputation to fall, so they stopped airing Pokémon.
* ORT and the Japanese creators of the anime couldn't make an agreement on the price of licensing the anime.

===The return of Pokémon===
[[File:TNT logo.png|thumb|right|TNT logo]]
On September 20, 2008, {{wp|TNT (Russia)|TNT}}, another Russian channel, premiered the [[DP001|first]] episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. The tenth season was shown fully.

Pokémon has also aired on '''Jetix'''. Unlike TNT, both the tenth season and ''[[S11|Battle Dimension]]'' have been aired fully.

On August 10, 2010, when Jetix Russia was replaced by the {{wp|Disney Channel}}, the airing of Pokémon was finished for the second time. However, the Russian version of ''[[S12|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' had been aired on {{wp|Disney Channel (Ukraine)|Disney Channel Ukraine}}.

On February 3, 2012, the Russian version of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' started on TNT. By the end of 2012, the twelfth and [[S13|thirteenth]] seasons of the {{pkmn|anime}} were shown fully.

On November 6, 2012, simultaneously with two last, the Russian version of the 14th season, ''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'', started on TNT and has been aired fully.

As of 2013, there were no plans for airing the [[S15|two]] [[S16|remaining]] seasons of the [[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|series]] on TNT or any other Russian channel, creating a hiatus in airings of the anime.
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime, TCG return to Russia}}

The hiatus was broken on March 12, 2014, when {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}, the Russian channel, which specializes on teenager-oriented {{wp|animated series}} signed a five-year contract with Pokémon Company International to broadcast the anime. The series started with airing ''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'' on May 1 to 11, 2014. On May 12, 2014, ''[[S15|Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' began to run on {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}}. This season marks the total localization of the anime. The season logo, the episode title card, and the name of the [[Who's That Pokémon?|eyecatch]] Pokémon are all written in Russian.

The sixteenth season of the anime ''[[S16|Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]]'', premiered on July 18, 2014.

The seventeenth season of the anime, ''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', premiered on Saturday, September 20, 2014.

The nineteenth season, ''[[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]'', aired on {{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}} on July 3, 2016.

In Russia, the anime is available on [[Netflix]], except in Crimea due to U.S. sanctions prohibiting Netflix from operating in Crimea.

On August 20, 2017, the twentieth season, ''[[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', aired on {{wp|2x2 (TV channel)|2x2}}.

On September 15, 2018, the first five episodes of the twenty-first season, ''[[S21|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures]]'', were released on Russian [[Pokémon TV]], but for some reason, {{wp|2x2 (TV channel)|2x2}} didn't air them on television. The season was aired completely on Pokémon TV.

''[[S22|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Legends]]'' began to air on Russian Netflix on April 1, 2020 after the year long pause.

===Pokémon movies===
Aside for the anime, the movies were translated too, but they were dubbed by different studios. ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M03|The Spell of Unown: Entei]]'', as well as their respective [[Pikachu short]]s were dubbed; later, dubs were made of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. All those movies were officially released on {{wp|DVD}} and {{wp|VHS}}.

''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' was aired on Jetix. The Russian dub of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' was released on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} DVD release of the movie. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130701124658/http://www.timfilmstudio.com.pl/katalog-produktow/produkt,2755,pokemon-zoroark-mistrz-iluzji.html Katalog produktów - Film studio (Internet Archive)]</ref>

{{wp|2×2 (TV channel)|2×2}} got the airing license for movies connected to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'' was shown on June 12, 2014. However, ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' was not aired. ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' were broadcast on September 20, 2014. ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' first premiered in Russian during Nintendo Level Up Day on November 27, 2014.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.ru/-/2014/-/-Nintendo-Level-Up-Day--939124.html Nintendo Level Up Day]</ref>

==Pokémon games==
In the early 2000s, Game Boy Color was the most popular portable console in Russia.<ref>http://segadreamcast.ru/samye-rasprostranennye-pristavki-na-rossijskom-rynke-do-nachala-2000h/</ref> Despite this, handheld consoles were not very popular and Pokémon games were rarely found in shops. The market was full of piracy then, which also affected Game Boy consoles. The original games were distributed by "Noviy Disc". Nintendo signed with this company in 2000 a contract for the sale of games<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010603230049/http://www.nd.ru:80/about/index.shtml</ref> for 6 years. Cooperation went so well that in 2006 it was decided to extend the contract for the next 6 years.Games would usually become available long after the European release and at a more substantial cost. This situation changed when Nintendo of Europe opened its office in Russia in 2012; they stopped working with "Noviy Disk" and began working with a new distributor named "OCS", and Nintendo opened their own online store. 3DS games were then available for sale on the official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]''', though they may also be found elsewhere. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games to be released in Russia at the same time as the rest of the world due to the introduction of the Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian; however, there have been a few fan translations of the GBA games circulating among Russian fans. Some companies such as New Game sell illegal Russian translations of GBA games.

[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] is the only Pokémon game translated to Russian so far, with only some older and some cards not yet released in Russia being left in English.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Trading Card Game coming to Russia in October}}
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was released in Russia, and obtained "the same cult status" as it did in Britain.<ref name="guardian">[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/russia.nickpatonwalsh Barbie is banned from Russia, without love | World news | The Observer] (retrieved May 5, 2010)</ref> The Russian government attempted to ban or, in the least, censor the game in late 2001-2002, but it seems that this was not carried through.

The Trading Card Game was evidently released in English, as the government wanted the cards to be translated into Russian as part of the censorship.

When the anime stopped airing, the Pokémon Trading Cards stopped releasing as well.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game returned to Russia when they were distributed along with toys in {{wp|Happy Meal}}s in Russian {{wp|McDonald's}} in January 2012.

The [[XY (TCG)|Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY]] went on sale in Russia on October 6, 2014. It was the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion in Russia since the original {{TCG|Base Set}}.

The TCG has since been translated under the name Покемон {{tt|ККИ|Коллекционная карточная игра}} ''Pokémon KKI'', though released later then in the west.
The expansion [[Steam Siege (TCG)]] was the last expansion to be translated. All of the Sun & Moon expansions until Forbidden Light and Ultra Prism were distributed untranslated.

On September 3, 2018, Nintendo Russia CEO Yasha Haddaji created a post in the official group "Мир Pokémon", that stated the end of TCG's distribution in Russia. The reasoning is that increased tariffs due to trade disputes involving the US and Europe made it no longer profitable to sell Pokémon cards in Russia. <ref name="nintendosoup">[https://nintendosoup.com/pokemon-tcg-discontinued-in-russia-prices-set-to-increase-in-europe/#:~:text=This%20is%20due%20to%20the,with%20all%20upcoming%20tournaments%20cancelled. Pokémon TCG Discontinued in Russia]</ref>

==Pokémon and grammar==
The word покемон ''Pokémon'' as well as the names for each Pokémon are fully inflected in Russian. Покемон is written in lowercase when referring to the species and is written in uppercase or uses Pokémon when referring to the series as a whole. Individual Pokémon and character names are often the English name transcribed into the [[wikipedia:Cyrillic script|Cyrillic alphabet]] or derived closely from their English name; for example, {{p|Bulbasaur}} becomes Бульбазавр ''Bul'bazavr''. For more information on these localized names for Pokémon, see [[List of Russian Pokémon names]].

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.

==Trivia==
* Some episodes dubbed by Pilot Studio were based on the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} version instead of the English dub. This is why [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]] are called "Alabastia" and "Vertania". Also, there was a dub error in [[EP003]] where Polish words can be heard.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX9JukkUQuI Third Episode in Russian] (retrieved May 4, 2017)</ref>{{dead link}}
* Anastasiya Fomicheva, the actress who voiced {{an|Dawn}} in [[S10]], is registered at the Russian Pokémon League.<ref>http://pokeliga.com/users/profile.php?user=%C4%EE%F3%ED (retrieved May 18, 2015)</ref>
* Pilot Studio also dubbed the Pokémon anime in {{wp|Ukrainian language|Ukrainian}} with the same actors.
* This is the only country that aired two different [[series]] back-to-back and not in chronological order. ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' did not debut until a day after the premiere of the eighteenth season, [[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]], on the same channel.

TechSkylander1518: /* Ancient civilizations */

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|170px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]]. They usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

==Overview==
===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically similar to humans in the real world. Although infants very rarely appear, the {{pkmn|anime}} has confirmed that humans, such as [[Edna]], can get pregnant. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered the same and even intermarried, which might suggest a common ancestry. Some humans possess abilities well beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers.

For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world are often depicted with a greatly exaggerated [[anime physics|ability to withstand physical trauma]], such as being {{status|burned}} or falling great distances. The most common occurrence of humans being harmed without serious injury is the frequent electrical shocking of {{Ash}} and his nemesis, the [[Team Rocket trio]], who are blasted off over the horizon countless times in the early seasons of the anime. However, this is rarely seen outside the Pokémon anime, in other medias a Pokémon attack is often seriously dangerous for a human, which is why people need a [[Pokémon Trainer's license|license]] in order to [[Pokémon training|train]] Pokémon.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. This is not always the case as humans are equally capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways; however, only time will tell if they are also able to learn from their mistakes.

Unlike the real world, humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[Radio in the Pokémon world|radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks and {{wp|videophone}}s have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} since the [[original series]].

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

==Human organizations in the Pokémon world==
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]
:''See also: {{cat|Organizations}}''
* [[International Police]]: A law enforcement organization.
* [[Pokémon Association]]: Handles legislation regarding Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]: Organizes and coordinates [[Pokémon Contest]]s and related events.
* [[Pokémon League]]: Regulates [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and oversees the regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}s.
* [[Ranger Union]]: An organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.
* [[Villainous team]]s: Always human outside of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the villainous teams would threaten the region, and serve as antagonists to be defeated. They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===
* {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}: Raises and mates Pokémon for genetic improvements such as [[move]]s, [[individual values]], and [[Nature]]s.
* [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]: Specializes in identifying the compatibility between Pokémon and their Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Coordinator]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, by feeding them snacks used to enhance their appearances and teaching them moves designed for particular [[appeal]]s.
* [[Gym Leader]]: Challenges Trainers to test if they are skilled enough to take on the [[Pokémon League]] challenge. They hand out a [[Badge]] to Trainers who defeat them in battle.
* [[Pokémon Performer]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.
* [[Pokémon Professor]]: Researches certain aspects of Pokémon and the [[Pokémon world]], such as [[Evolution]] and habitat. They also hand out [[starter Pokémon]] to aspiring Trainers.
* {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}: Protect [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.
* [[Pokémon Stylist]]: Sketches and designs clothing and accessories for Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon watcher]]: Studies Pokémon, their habits, behaviors, and interactions.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* [[Abyssal Ruins]]: The burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* [[Draconid people]]: A tribe of {{type|Dragon}}-users who resided in [[Meteor Falls]].
* [[Kingdom of the Vale]]: A kingdom which once lived in peace with both Pokémon and nature using the power of the [[Dragon Force]], before it fell to ruin due to war between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two princes]], which resulted in the Dragon Force going out of control. Known structures linked to this civilization include the [[Relic Castle]], built 2,500 years ago; and [[Dragonspiral Tower]], said to be the oldest structure in Unova.
* [[Michina Town]] Ruins: Thousands of years ago [[Damos]] was granted the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power, which made the area a prosperous agricultural heartland, after he rescued {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. Shrine ruins near [[Sinnoh]]'s Michina Town remains the only evidence of the ancient society.
* [[People of the Water]]: A race of people who left behind [[Samiya]], a sea temple activated by crystals.
* [[Pokélantis]]: A lost empire in [[Kanto]] that was destroyed by {{an|Ho-Oh}} when its [[King of Pokélantis|king]] wanted to abuse Ho-Oh's power.
* [[Pokémopolis]]: Another ancient civilization in Kanto. Had artifacts that contained [[Giant Pokémon]].
* [[Tanoby Ruins]]: estimated to be 1500 years old, it shows evidence of ancient [[Unown]] scripture, also seen in the [[Ruins of Alph]] and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
* In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves from a mask and staff. Neither the name of the people nor the civilization were given.

==In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series==
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

TechSkylander1518: /* Sovereign states? */ new section

Why is the Johto Region League listed as "Silver Conference"? It's anime-only. The template is supposed to be game-based, isn't it. {{unsigned|Maxim}}
:Orange Islands are on there. Therefore, we can assume it's cross-canon. By the way, please remember to sign your comments. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 17:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Cross-Canon? The name "Silver Conference" is not mentioned in games and the league is in Indigo Plateau not Mt. Silver. That's not cross canon! I think it should say:
"Silver Conference at Mt. Silver in anime, Johto League at Indigo Plateau in the games." But that require too much space - [[User:Maxim|Maxim]]
: When I made the template yesterday, I tried to make it so that it would divide between, making the one for Indigo Plateau go under the Johto section as well as the Silver conference, but I wasn't able to. I was attempting to make it cross-canon, just like how the pages on the regions, professors, and teams are. However, it didn't render right, and it would've looked a bit weird anyway, so I left it as just Silver Conference for Johto. Then it was for game canon vs. show canon that I didn't make the Orange TR the same square as the Sevii TR. I'll try to remedy it somehow... [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 06:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the Map Item on Sevii Islands is a Town Map and a Sevii Islands Location (Mt. Ember) is featured in [[H018]] - [[User:Maxim|Maxim]]

Geez... that is a huge template...--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 18:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Got some Questions:

1. Should the Town Map be used for the Sevii Islands? Since that is the Map Item you have in the games you can go there?

2. Why isn't Orre listed as Generation III? It is playable in games compatable with the 3rd Gen Adventures --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 23:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Fixed the Sevii anime status; I didn't realize that there was yet an episode featured there, but can you blame me? It's not even aired here yet... And the Town map for Sevii... eh, I suppose. As for why Orre's not part of Gen III, it's mostly because it's in what I consider to be more of a side game that's merely compatible with Gen III. I just used the main series, anyway, it'd be like putting White City in the template as well. Sure, Stadium 2 was compatible with Gen II, but it wasn't really part of the main series. Also, it'd be like putting Ranger in Gen IV. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't kanto, the orange and sevii island shared the smae pokedex? [[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 14:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
:Sevii and Orange are debatable. In all technicalities, the Sevii Islands have the Kanto region's dex since they were in FRLG and are more closely connected... but really, they don't have their own specifically... no trainers we've played as got a Pokédex there. As for Orange, since the Anime never states explicitly any difference in order even in Hoenn, and there are even Kanto-only Pokémon there... eh, just leave them as having no regional dex order (which, by default would be the National Dex, anyway, far as I see it). [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 06:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Just where does the name "Duelist Region" come from? And TCG League, for that matter? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 18:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, this template doesn't need to be this big. People want to know this information about the regions? That's what the articles are for. Waiting for approval to knock down the size of this template several notches. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 10:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:<big><sc>Do it!!!</sc></big> Ahem. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 13:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
::That's what I thought. Has been done. We really need a "bigger =/= better" policy page. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 13:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Eheh... Well, I just kept on thinking of things to feed into it. Sorry about making it tremendous when I first made it.

:::However, I do think there needs to be some sort of region infobox template like we have for the routes and locations, that would hold all of that information on the side of the page. Thoughts? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Perhaps a Browse page for it. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::In the Overview category, I assume? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 06:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
::::::Well, yeah. Portal would be better, but, eh, is a table really a portal? - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Beats me. I could do it like the [[Pokémon games]] page, though. Or I could try out my original idea of an infobox, with just parameters for the intro generation, games featured in, anime seasons, and league location. Maybe starters and Professor, too. Eh, whatever I do, it'll be after finishing up the Johto Routes, which won't be too much longer. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 09:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Allumia? ==

Wait... what? What's that from? [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 20:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
:[[n:Pokémon Ranger Batonnage announced in February Coro Coro|Check the Bulbanews article.]] --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

== Order ==

I'm assuming it's meant to be game regions on top, then other canon's below. I would think that if a game can interact with the main series games, its part of the main game canon, while games like Pokemon Snap or Channel are anime-based instead. Therefore, I think we should reorganize it liek this:
*Kanto | Johto | Hoenn | Sinnoh | Sevii Islands | <s>White City</s> | Orre | Fiore | Almia | Poketopia
*Pokemon World | Orange Islands | <s>Mintale Town</s> | TCG Island | Southern Islands | Holon

[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 17:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think there's any particular reasoning for the order right now, though Holon definately needs to be moved to somewhere the other side of Sinnoh. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 17:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Battle Zone ==

Apparently it is heavily implied to be a seperate or sub-region, like the Sevii islands, should it be added? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 17:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:No. It is still a part of Sinnoh, like Hawaii is part of the United States.--[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 18:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
::I've always been confused as to why we think it is the same region too. I'm pretty sure there are other indications, but in the [[Fight Area]] a Battle Girl says "Your Pokémon are from Sinnoh aren't they? They're not what we're used to seeing around here." Is there evidence which indicates that the Battle Zone is part of Sinnoh? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:05, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

== Orange Archipelago ==

Is there any reason why the Orange Archipelago is listed as the Orange Islands on this template? I know the season was called [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]], but the article about the region is named [[Orange Archipelago]]. It's a bit confusing, also because the new anime region, the Decolora Archipelago, isn't called the Decolora Islands either. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
:I'm actually not sure why it's like that. I'd be fine with changing it to the Orange Archipelago since that's what it links to. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 14:26, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
::Okay, I changed it now, if that's the case. ☼ [[User:Blazingfist|Blazing]][[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 14:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

== Sovereign states? ==

I think a few locations listed as "Sovereign states" are pretty big stretches. Guyana is only mentioned in the mansion journals- there's nothing about how its government is run. How can it be definitely said to be a sovereign state? The Ranger Union's also on there, but I can't find anything on the article about Pokemon Rangers or the Ranger Union stating that they're the government of their region. Isn't it just as possible that Pokemon Rangers are an international organization? [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 06:17, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Legendary Pokémon

[[File:2018 Legendary Pokemon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|right|370px|Artwork depicting a variety of Legendary Pokémon]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

[[Special Pokémon]] is a subcategory of the Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Overview==
===In the core series===
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as interactable or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}} if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are nine notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, and {{p|Urshifu}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kubfu}}, and their respective evolutionary families, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a [[Legendary duo|duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
Many Legendary Pokémon can be obtained at most once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they are not available to the player.

* The existence of [[regional form]]s with the [[Legendary birds]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} implies that a trio separate from [[Kanto]] existed in an isolated peripheral population (in this case [[Galar]]) and hence formed a new species.
* In some cases, the [[Pokédex]] mentions multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species.
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Latias}}: "''They make a small herd of only several members.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Entei}}: "''It is said that one is born every time a new volcano appears.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Cobalion}}: "''From the moment it's born, this Pokémon radiates the air of a leader.''" implying its birth is a repetitive occurrence.
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Urshifu}}: "''Inhabiting the mountains of a distant region, this Pokémon races across sheer cliffs, training its legs and refining its moves.''" as Urshifu evolves from {{p|Kubfu}}, this implies that wild Urshifu exists elsewhere.
* Sometimes, multiple Legendary Pokémon are seen in the same game.
** In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, as well as in their remakes, the player can see a wild {{p|Articuno}} at the {{rt|15|Kanto}} gate to [[Fuchsia City]], through a pair of binoculars at any time, even after catching Articuno at the [[Seafoam Islands]].
** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] the Legendary birds are rare spawns, allowing the player to encounter and catch multiple of each in a single save file.
** Because {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}} are synthetic species, it was possible for humans to create multiple individuals.
** In {{game|Emerald}}, the player is able to catch {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, which are also used by [[Brandon]]. The [[Eon duo]] is also available (either of them requires the event-only [[Eon Ticket]]), while [[Anabel]] has {{p|Latios}} and [[Tucker]] has {{p|Latias}}.
** In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player is able to catch {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}, while [[Palmer]] also uses these Pokémon.
** In {{game|Platinum}}, the player is able to catch {{p|Zapdos}}, and [[Dahlia]] has a Zapdos as well.
** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player is able to catch {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, while [[Darach]] also has an Entei and Dahlia also has a Zapdos.
** In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player is able to catch either {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Moltres}}, while {{DL|Battle Chatelaine|Dana}} has the complete trio of [[Legendary birds]].
** In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the player is able to catch the [[Legendary titans]], which are also used by [[Dana]]. The [[Eon duo]] is also available (one of them requires the event-only [[Eon Ticket]], though it still appears in front of the player during the story), while [[Evelyn]] has {{p|Latios}} and [[Morgan]] has {{p|Latias}}. Furthermore, the player is able to catch the [[Legendary beasts]], [[Swords of Justice]] (not counting the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}}), and [[Forces of Nature]], all of which appear on either Evelyn, Dana, or Morgan's teams.
** In [[The Isle of Armor]], the player receives a {{p|Kubfu}}, while [[Mustard]] also has one. Mustard's Kubfu will evolve into an {{p|Urshifu}} of the form corresponding to the [[Towers of Two Fists|tower]] not chosen by the player.
** In [[The Crown Tundra]], both the Kantonian and Galarian [[regional form]]s of the [[Legendary birds]] can be encountered in [[Crown Tundra]].
** Most Legendary Pokémon can be encountered multiple times in [[Dynamax Adventures]] in the Crown Tundra. However, the player can only catch one of each.
* Sometimes, multiple Legendary Pokémon seem to be present by comparing multiple games.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player is able to catch the three [[Legendary birds]] in [[Kanto]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, the Legendary birds are also used by [[Brandon]] at the same time period in [[Hoenn]]. Three years later, in {{game|Platinum}}, the three [[Legendary birds]] are available in [[Sinnoh]], while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} they are also available in [[Kanto]], and [[Dahlia]] uses Zapdos in both occasions as well.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, one of the three [[Legendary beasts]] is [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Kanto]], while at the same time period in {{game|Emerald}}, [[Spenser]] uses {{p|Suicune}}, and [[Anabel]] uses {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}. Three years later, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Legendary beasts awaken at the [[Burned Tower]], while [[Darach]] uses an Entei as well.
** Aside from the two trios of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} sealed in [[Hoenn]] and used by [[Brandon]], there are additional trios of the same [[Legendary titans]] sealed in [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]] and [[Galar]]. The Unova trio is found in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, while at the same time period in [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Dana]] has a complete trio in [[Kalos]]. Dana's trio also appear with her in Hoenn during [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where the first sealed trio remains available.
** In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it is said in the [[Sinnoh myths]] that {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} appeared at the beginning of the universe. Additionally, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player may also acquire an {{pkmn|Egg}} with Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina.
** In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player is able to catch the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}) in [[Unova]] and [[Galar]], respectively. In the former case, [[Morgan]] has the complete trio in [[Kalos]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] during the same time period as Black 2 and White 2.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{OBP|Articuno|GB 1}}, {{OBP|Zapdos|GB 1}}, {{OBP|Moltres|GB 1}}, and {{OBP|Dragonite|GB 1 Promo}}. The latter is a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.

Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|Legendary titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer owned a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. Finally, {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{p|Silvally}}.

In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 59 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (59/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:LGPE Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|[[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] fighting with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Season (mechanic)|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In {{game|Platinum}}, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]]. One also appears in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where it can be battled and caught.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], each bird gains a [[Regional form|Galarian form]].

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.
{{-}}

====Mewtwo====
[[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.

In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different to normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', who also appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
{{main|Tower duo}}
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[game mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a [[Silver Wing]]. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends travelled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild. Lugia appeared again in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a [[Rainbow Wing]], atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.

====Legendary titans====
{{main|Legendary titans}}
[[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third former trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the {{si|Rock Peak Ruins}}, {{si|Iceberg Ruins}}, {{si|Iron Ruins}} in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{an|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] of [[Generation VIII]], the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.
{{-}}

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the [[Eon Flute]] from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[DPS02]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.
{{-}}

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.

In the game, their history is revealed: thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s resident Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation through Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consists of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter. Like the weather trio before them, they each serve as the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until [[Cynthia]] has been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.

====Cresselia====
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|Cresselia along with [[Mythical]] Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} in promotional art for the TCG]]
{{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]].

Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.
{{-}}

====Heatran====
[[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]].

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.
{{-}}

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas PG.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and the [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless the first three members of the Legendary titans are in the player's party. It is found in the [[Ultra Space Wilds|Cave World]] of the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]{{sup/7|UM}} with no prerequisites. It is also found in a certain [[Pokémon Den]] in [[Giant's Bed]] {{sup/8|SwSh}}, but will only awaken if all Legendary Titans (now including {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}) are in the party. Since the player can choose to capture only one of the two new Titans, they must obtain the other through [[trade|trading]].

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{an|Brandon}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.

====Swords of Justice====
[[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}}, a Mythical Pokémon, whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely a reference to it becoming part of the group later and therefore requiring more training to hone its sword skills).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.
{{-}}

====Forces of Nature====
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|left|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). They debuted in Therian Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of Operation Tempest. Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.
{{-}}

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the [[DNA Splicers]], Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.
{{-}}

===Generation VI===
Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.

====Aura trio====
{{main|Aura trio}}
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}|left]]
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde 50% Forme}}]]
The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, and they form the [[aura trio]] along with {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively, while Zygarde is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon. Xerneas and Yveltal have the Abilities {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{a|Dark Aura}}, respectively, while Zygarde's {{a|Aura Break}} reverses the effects of these Abilities.

Xerneas has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Xerneas|two Formes}}, appearing in Active Mode in battle and Neutral Mode otherwise. Yveltal has no form differences. Zygarde appeared only as Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y, but had {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|two other Formes}} and two further components introduced in the anime and in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Zygarde's other Formes are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like Forme that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal. Its further components are Zygarde Cells, tiny cell-like creatures that make up Zygarde's body, and Zygarde Cores, cell-like creatures said to be its mind.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms. Zygarde 50% Forme can be found in [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.

In the anime, Zygarde debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.
{{-}}

===Generation VII===
[[Generation VII]] introduced eleven Legendary Pokémon, totaling 49 Legendary Pokémon. For the first time, Legendary Pokémon capable of evolution are introduced—six of these Pokémon are part of [[Pokémon Evolution|evolutionary chains]].

====Type: Null and Silvally====
[[File:772Type Null.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Type: Null}}]]
[[File:773Silvally.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Silvally}}]]
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolution {{p|Silvally}} are man-made Pokémon originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for [[Faba]]'s "Beast Killer" project, which aimed to create a Pokémon with similarity to {{p|Arceus}} through data collected from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Canalave Library]].

Although the project was deemed a failure and the resulting three models of Type: Null were put into cryogenic stasis, [[Gladion]] managed to evolve the stolen Type: Null that became his partner. He named the evolution Silvally.

In the anime, Type: Null debuted in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'' under the nickname "Silvally" and owned by {{an|Gladion}}. It later evolved into Silvally in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

{{-}}

====Guardian deities====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
[[File:Guardian deities anime.png|thumb|220px|The Guardian Deities in the anime]]
The guardian deities are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who protect the islands where they live. Each of the four main islands in Alola has a guardian deity: {{p|Tapu Koko}} on [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Lele}} on [[Akala Island]], {{p|Tapu Bulu}} on [[Ula'ula Island]], and {{p|Tapu Fini}} on [[Poni Island]]. The [[Island Kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity.

In the anime, Tapu Koko first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' and gave Ash a [[Z-Ring]]. Tapu Lele debuted in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]'', in which it healed Ash. Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', in which all four tapu sensed [[Nebby]]'s birth. All four later appeared in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' and ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', in which they helped Nebby evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}.
{{-}}

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
[[File:789Cosmog.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Cosmog}}]]
[[File:790Cosmoem.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Cosmoem}}]]
{{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], they are the pre-evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}. Cosmog has a major role in the game as a Pokémon being studied by the [[Aether Foundation]]. [[Lillie]], the daughter of Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]]. Over the course of the game, Nebby evolves into Cosmoem and eventually the [[version mascot]] of the game: the {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}-type Solgaleo in Pokémon Sun and the {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type Lunala in Pokémon Moon. Another Cosmog can be obtained by the player in the post-game.

In the anime, both Solgaleo and Lunala debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter]]'', in which they emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a Cosmog, which Ash found and cared for. {{an|Lillie}} named this Cosmog [[Nebby]]. It evolved into Cosmoem in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' and then into Solgaleo in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.
{{-}}

====Light trio====
{{main|Light trio}}
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|thumb|250px|Light trio]]
The Light trio is a group consisting of {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} who resemble the [[Ultra Beast]]s and has given light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowing down to them and worshiped them. The Guardian Deities battled them and lost, gifting them the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat.

Necrozma was believed to have come from an [[Ultra Space|alternate dimension]] long ago. It has a major role in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, where as the "Blinding One", it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds or the Solgaleo and Lunala in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

Solgaleo and Lunala have form like-transformations known as [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Solgaleo and Lunala|Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase]] respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It transforms into the first two, called Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, when it has absorbed Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can further transform into the third, Ultra Necrozma, after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

In the anime, Solgaleo and Lunala both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where the pair emerged from two [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a {{p|Cosmog}}, which it then gave to the [[guardian deities]] to be placed in a location when it will be found by {{Ash}}. Ultra Necrozma debuted in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' in a book mentioned by [[Acerola]], which revealed how Ultra Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala brought light to [[Alola]] and how Ultra Necrozma earned the title of the "Blinding One".
{{-}}

===Generation VIII===
Initially in [[Generation VIII]], three Legendary Pokémon were introduced. Two more Legendary Pokémon were added in [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion pack. Five more Legendary Pokémon and three [[regional form]]s of a previous [[Legendary trio]] were added in [[The Crown Tundra]]. This increases the total amount of Legendary Pokémon to 59.

====Zacian and Zamazenta====
[[File:Hero duo.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}]]
{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} are Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. In ages past, these two Pokémon worked together to protect [[Galar]] from a calamity known as the [[Darkest Day]], defeating {{p|Eternatus}} before retreating to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to slumber. The two Pokémon were nearly forgotten by history until the truth behind the legend was discovered by [[Sonia]], with the help of {{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}} and their [[rival]], [[Hop]]. The truth of the legend was eventually published in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], and became a point of contention from two brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who claim to be descendants for the old kings.
{{-}}

====Eternatus====
[[File:890Eternatus.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Eternatus}}]]
{{p|Eternatus}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. In ancient times, it threatened to destroy the [[Galar]] region in an event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. [[Rose]] tried to revive this Pokémon and bring about the second Darkest Day, but was thwarted by Victor/Gloria and Hop, who brought back the Legendary Heroes, Zacian and Zamazenta, to stop Eternatus in its Eternamax form once more.
{{-}}

====Kubfu and Urshifu====
{{p|Kubfu}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]] that is given to the player by [[Mustard]] after completing three trials of the [[Master Dojo]]. It is referred to as the "sacred armor" of the Master Dojo. Once the player trains with Kubfu at either the [[Tower of Darkness]] or the [[Tower of Waters]] in the Towers of Two Fists challenge, it will evolve into {{p|Urshifu}}. Urshifu has two different forms depending on the tower it trained in: Single Strike Style for the Tower of Darkness, and Rapid Strike Style for the Tower of Waters.

It has been confirmed that there exists multiple instances of Kubfu, as both the player and Mustard own one, as seen at the end of the Towers of Two Fists challenge.

[[File:895Regidrago.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Regidrago}}]]
{{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} are two new members of the [[Legendary titans]] that were introduced in ''The Crown Tundra''. Both were said to have the strongest power of any {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon and both were sealed away by ancient people due to how dangerous they were. They can be encountered in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] after brining and capturing the original [[Legendary titans]]. However, only one of the Titans can be captured, while the other one becomes unavailable to the player.
{{-}}

====Galarian Legendary birds====
In the [[Crown Tundra]], the [[regional form]]s of the Legendary birds are introduced. These variants migrate every several decades to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio fight each other over it every time they meet. For a time, the Galarian Legendary birds were believed be the same as the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]] due to them possessing similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively. The trio shares the same secondary [[type]], [[Flying (type)|Flying]], as their Kantonian counterparts, but they have a different primary type and [[Ability]] each.

The Trio can be encountered at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] which triggers a cutscene which all three flee to the three different spots in [[Galar]]. Articuno can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]], Zapdos in the [[Wild Area]], and Moltres in the [[Isle of Armor]].

==Trivia==

* There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} type; excluding Silvally holding a [[Bug Memory]].
* Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
* {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, and {{p|Urshifu}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[Forces of Nature]], {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}} and {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in seventeen core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!,]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield]]).
* Even though {{p|Unown}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon. Its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and within the canon of the movie, it is specifically referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] [[Explorers of Sky|and Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only list mythical and legendary recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
* Even though {{p|Rotom}} is not a Legendary or [[Mythical Pokémon]], it is mentioned in the list of Sinnoh's Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from [[Charon]]'s notebook in the chapter ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'' from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

Secret Technique

2020-11-30T03:39:22Z

TechSkylander1518:

'''Secret Techniques''' (Japanese: '''ヒジュツ''' ''Secret Technique'') are skills that a {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} can learn and use outside of {{pkmn|battle}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Like [[HM]] moves or [[Poké Ride]]s, Secret Techniques can clear obstacles or transport the {{player}}.

According to the captain of the [[S.S. Anne]], Secret Techniques are typically performed by [[human]]s, but the player's partner has an unusual affinity for the abilities, and is able to perform them for the player.

After the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}, they gain the ability to ride {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, or {{p|Dragonite}} in the sky, allowing them to bypass Chop Down and Sea Skim obstacles.

The '''fifth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|第五世代|だいごせだい}}''' ''fifth generation'') of Pokémon is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s core series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the Generation IV games can communicate with the five [[Generation III]] games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Black and White occur an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the [[Machine Part]] makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as [[Sinnoh]] League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Black 2 and White 2 occur two years after the events of Black and White.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No new evolutionary relatives of previous Pokémon are introduced, and in Black and White, no Pokémon from previous generations can be caught in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of {{cat|Generation V moves|92 new moves}}, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of {{cat|Abilities introduced in Generation V|41 new Abilities}}, bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new {{Abilities}}, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate Abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[Double Battle]]s.
* The introduction of the [[Wonder Launcher]], a new battle mode which can stack with double, triple and Rotation Battles.
* The introduction of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, where Double Battles against [[wild Pokémon]] can occur.
* The introduction of [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], occurrences which involve wild Pokémon or items moving and making sounds to indicate their position, somewhat similar to the [[Poké Radar]].
* The introduction of [[Season (mechanic)|seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more realistic and lifelike. There are also curves in places like [[Castelia City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].
** Side-facing {{m|Waterfall|waterfalls}} also appear.
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game in Black and White, rather than just inside of the [[Union Room]] or [[the Underground]].
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* The [[weather]] and current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of [[Poké Ball]], the [[Dream Ball]], retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the [[Sport Ball]] are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game.
* Pokémon battle sprites now animate constantly, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}.
** Unlike the animated models from 3D games, these sprites' animations play on a loop and do not depend on a given Pokémon's current actions.
** The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with most [[status condition]]s ({{status|frozen}} Pokémon do not move at all).
** When a Pokémon is affected by a status condition, in addition to slowing movement, it also glows a color depending on the status condition. {{status|Sleep}} does not have a color, but uses a different sprite that depicts the Pokémon with its eyes closed.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but as seen from behind.
** This enables dynamic camera movements during battle, e.g. it can zoom in or out and focus on specific Pokémon as the battle progresses.
** It also allows {{p|Mawile}} to face the audience when it performs in a [[Pokémon Musical]] without the need of an additional sprite.
* A pair of sequels to its original games were introduced.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon (or an ally NPC's Pokémon) on the battlefield has 20% HP or lower remaining, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, Pokémon names are displayed with proper capitalization, rather than having all capital letters, as it was prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players initially start with only 8 boxes. After placing one Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, they will receive an additional 8 boxes, for a total of 16. After placing one Pokémon in each of the 16 boxes, they will finally receive their last 8 boxes, for a total of 24 and a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The [[trade|trading]] process has been upgraded: players may now trade Pokémon directly from their [[PC]] boxes, without having to place offered Pokémon in their party first. The [[Global Terminal]] also allows players to trade using this method. Furthermore, players can trade outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] via [[infrared]].
* The expansion of Key Item registration: Multiple items, and even several menu screens, may be registered simultaneously. Pressing the Y button now brings up a quick access menu of the registered commands.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.
* When Pokémon are sent out, there is a sound effect and visual effect as they land which varies depending on the [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] of the Pokémon (unless it's a Pokémon that stays airborne like {{p|Hydreigon}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Goldeen}}; or it is {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}).
===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. Instead, {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s appliance forms are now no longer {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; instead, they are {{t|Electric}} and the type of their special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] in [[Amity Square|any point of the game]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times, as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Record mixing]] is no longer a feature.
* The abandonment of [[Game Corner]]s.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]]. The menu is brought up on the touch screen in the same way, though, with X.
* The way some [[Key Item]]s are used, such as the Dowsing Machine, has been altered.
* {{status|Poison}} no longer inflicts damage outside the battle.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer necessary in order to use [[HM]] [[field move]]s.
* The Elite Four no longer have to be battled in a set order.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] no longer sparkle if they break out of a Poké Ball.
* Many Pokémon have their experience yield changed, which is no longer limited to 255.
** Additionally, the experience formula now takes in account difference between Pokémon's levels.
* In the [[Vs. Recorder#Browse Mode|Vs. Recorder's Browse Mode]], it is no longer possible to change the interface's color to the previous color in the line by tapping the left border of the touch screen. Tapping either border will change it to the next color in the sequence.
* [[Nintendo DSi]] systems connected to an Internet router requiring the "advanced setup" option are now compatible with online features, such as the [[Global Terminal]].
* Battle-only forms, such as {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}} or {{p|Castform}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Castform|weather forms}} now use their own minisprites, rather than using default form's minisprite. Additionally, Cherrim's Sunshine Form minisprite is different than the one used in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The HP bar now empties as soon as the move animation ends, simultaneous to the animation of the Pokémon's body "blinking" between visible and invisible. Previously, the HP bar did not empty until after the "blinking" animation was finished.
** Additionally in Double Battles (and Triple Battles) when move hits multiple targets, the HP bar now empties for all Pokémon at once rather one by one - first on player's side, then on opposing side. Due to this, messages have been changed to include the Pokémon (e.g. ''A critical hit on the foe's <Pokémon>!'' or ''It's super effective on <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>!'').
** If a multi-target move misses one opponent (for any reason) but hits another, a ''<Pokémon> avoided the attack!'' message will appear first (if it was due to something else than immunity or protecting itself, otherwise the usual message like ''It doesn't affect <Pokémon>...'' appears), before the move's animation executes, and the missed Pokémon will not react to the animation.
* When an Ability is activated during battle, it is shown as a green-blue arrow for the player's side or a red-yellow arrow on the opposing side with the text ''<Pokémon>'s <ability>'' instead showing it activated on the battle text. (e.g. ''Pikachu's Static'' and the message ''The foe's Meowth is paralyzed!'' instead of ''Pikachu's Static paralyzed the foe's Meowth!'' on the battle text). This has been changed to a black arrow for both sides in Black and White 2. Additionally, if the Ability is changed, the arrow appears, reflecting the Ability change that took place.
* During breeding, offspring now have an 80% chance to have the Ability slot corresponding to their mother, unless it is a Hidden Ability; for example, {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}} is more likely to breed {{p|Venonat}} with {{a|Compoundeyes}} than with {{a|Tinted Lens}}.
* {{p|Ninetales}}'s [[effort values|EV yield]] was changed from 1 Special Attack and 1 Special Defense to 1 Special Defense and 1 Speed. Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}'s was changed from 3 HP to 3 Speed.
* Team previews were added to Wi-Fi {{pkmn|battle}}s.

===Additions in Black 2 and White 2===
* A sequel pair to the original pair of games, with an all-new story.
* Pokémon from previous generations appear more often in Unova, even from the start.
* The New Unova [[Pokédex]] includes a Habitat mode, allowing the player to select a specific area or route in Unova and view what Pokémon are known to inhabit it.
* [[Entralink]] missions are replaced by Funfest missions, and can be played with or without connecting to other players.
* New attractions, such as [[Pokéstar Studios]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* All opponent Trainers now have fluidly animated sprites that move before battle.
* Players can now use a new feature called the [[Unova Link]], which lets the player make the game easier or harder, switch between [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], and cause certain events to happen by connecting to Black or White.
* {{p|Watchog}}'s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] is changed from 1 Attack to 2 Attack.
* Players can now move held items between Pokémon in their party.
* Several new locations have been added to the map, including [[Aspertia City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Floccesy Ranch]], [[Cave of Being]], [[Virbank City]], [[Virbank Complex]], [[Pokéstar Studios]], [[Castelia Sewers]], [[Relic Passage]], [[Clay Tunnel]], [[Pokémon World Tournament]], [[Reversal Mountain]], [[Strange House]], [[Lentimas Town]], [[Seaside Cave]], [[Humilau City]], and [[Plasma Frigate]].
* The location of [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Victory Road]] on the [[Town Map]] has changed completely, from the west of the [[Pokémon League]] to the east of it.

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|250px|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type|Water}}.

==Unova thematic motif==
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White—both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fits into this theme.

==Reception==
Generation V is seen as a major departure point for the series. While the Generations preceding it often adhered to the formula [[Generation I]] had established, Generation V did several things that differed. Setting itself in a region where Pokémon from previous generations could not be caught, putting out dual sequels instead of a single third version, and using a dynamic camera angle with continuously animated Pokémon sprites in battles. While some of the changes seen in Generation V may have influenced future titles, [[Generation VI]] saw further changes, thus establishing with fans that each generation from this point forward could contain features unique to that generation which may be dropped in the next. Generation V for example is the only generation to date that utilizes [[Season (mechanic)|seasons]].

==Other Generation V games==

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the [[Pokémon games]] was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, and the second during [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}.
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduced the most new Pokémon to the [[core series]], with 156 (five more than Generation I introduced).
** Generation V also introduced the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with 14.
* Generation V is the only [[generation]] in which:
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
** A single-type Pokémon of every type is introduced.
** {{p|Pikachu}} is not available without [[Poké Transfer|transferring from the]] [[Generation IV|previous generation]].
** The battle music changes at low HP or when a [[Gym Leader]] sends out their last Pokémon.
* Generation V is the only generation to not introduce:
** A {{type|Rock}} specialist.
** A {{type|Psychic}} specialist.
*** However, [[Caitlin]], who was introduced in [[Generation IV]], was revealed to be a Psychic-type specialist.
* Generation V is the first generation:
** Not to feature [[Professor Oak]].
** Not to introduce a higher number of [[Legendary Pokémon]] than the previous generation. In this case, both Generations IV and V introduced nine Legendary Pokémon.
** In which it is impossible to complete the [[National Pokédex]] without [[Poké Transfer|transferring]] Pokémon from a previous generation, even if a player owned all versions in the generation and all [[Event Pokémon]] were acquired.
** That does not feature the [[Kanto]] region.
** To not include [[remakes]] of previous games since [[Generation II]].
*** To not have any way of obtaining [[starter Pokémon]] of previous regions in any game in the generation since Generation II, outside of [[Trade|trading]] or Poké Transfer.
** That allowed trading with Korean versions.
*** Pokémon caught in a Korean Generation IV game are still technically compatible with other Generation IV games, but those games did not have a way to read the Korean characters in the Pokémon's name. All Generation V games, however, included Korean character compatibility, thus allowing Korean Pokémon to be traded between all other versions of the game.
** To not introduce any [[baby Pokémon]] since the concept was introduced in Generation II.
** In which a pair of sequels to its original games were introduced.
** In which two sets of [[player character]]s were introduced.
** To have the [[Gym guide]] named. In this generation, he is named Clyde.

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Prinplup}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Empoleon}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dawn Piplup rejecting food.png|thumb|250px|Piplup rejecting food]]
Piplup is a light-blue, penguin-like Pokémon, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a dark blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The dark blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, light-blue marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Piplup anime.png|thumb|250px|Piplup in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where it got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her starter Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].

=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', [[Tyler]] used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the starter Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were then captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.

In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}. Eventually, it was returned to her by {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they found it in [[Vermilion City]]. Piplup then entered itself and Croagunk into the [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], but the two partnered up to save Lauren after {{TRT}} interrupted the race.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Piplup watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', multiple Piplup were living in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Seeing these Piplup reminded Ash of Dawn's, since her Piplup was "something else".

In ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]'', a Piplup was living in a forest.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

In [[JN031]], a Trainer's Piplup competed in the [[Water-type Pokémon Friendship Contest]].

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
On being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Piplup slides along the stage using {{m|Surf}}. Anyone caught in it will be pushed until Piplup disappears, or pushes the character off the stage. Piplup will keep using Surf even when off the stage.

====Trophy information====
''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water type, so it's strong versus {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}}s. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
While Piplup no longer appears from Poké Balls, having been replaced by {{p|Oshawott}}, it makes a cameo appearance in the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage.

====Trophy information====
''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Piplup appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Piplup shares its category with its evolved form and {{p|Eiscue}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, being the starter Pokémon of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and [[Tyler]].
* Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].
* In February 2007, it was believed that Piplup's localization name was the same as its Japanese name, Pochama, due to the claim made by a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair. But this was conflicted later by another item at Toy Fair again by the merchandise named "Piplup".

===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may have also been inspired by emperor penguins.

====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''plop'' or ''plup'' from the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/09/28/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]</ref> It may also incorporate ''pip'', a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch from the eggshell.

Pochama is derived from ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' ({{wp|child}}).

'''Avery''' (Japanese: '''セイボリー''' ''Savory'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and is training to be a [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|Role in Isle of Armor}}
Avery comes from a long line of psychics who run the {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]] in [[Galar]]. However, he is considered by his family to be a disappointment due to only possessing telekinesis, and not more impressive skills like teleportation or telepathy. At some point, he obtained a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. Because of the pressure, he developed a very proud personality and a habit of levitating anyone who defeated him. This behavior lead to his Gym Trainer's status being revoked. During his desperation and depression, he discovered the [[Master Dojo]], through his partner Slowpoke, that would lead him to visit to the [[Isle of Armor]] in order to train under [[Mustard]] so he could improve on inheriting the position of Psychic-type Gym Leader.

He is first seen by the player at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before he can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared blocking the way, which resulted in Avery requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting on the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, he gets on the train for the Isle of Armor. He eventually reached his location and becomes a student at the Master Dojo. He initially caused friction with the other students, but he started to become more friendly through Mustard and his wife {{gal|Honey}}. Though he trained hard, he became lazy from the lack of a rival and motivation to improve himself.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Avery's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy. This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say."
;Rare League Card
:"Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo."

;[[Wedgehurst]] Station
:''"Naturally. I have made all the proper preparations, which you can observe with unclouded eyes."
:''"Hmph. To meet a Slowpoke... Such a thing is simply elegant."

*If talked to prior to interacting with the Slowpoke
:''"Could this be your first time ever seeing a Galarian Slowpoke? Where they're from might be different, but they're still just as carefree as other Slowpoke."''

*After catching the Slowpoke
:''"Hmmm? How interesting... I must say, your catching style was quite simply elegant."''
:''"Understood."''
:''"I am headed to an island called the Isle of Armor. I've heard it's a place where one can catch rare Pokémon and do lots of training. Perhaps we shall meet again sometime. Well then, please excuse me."''

;[[Isle of Armor]] Station
:''"Hm... You're the traveler I'm supposed to guide, am I right? Exactly when we agreed to meet, too. Quite the commendable punctuality. Hm? I've got the strangest feeling we've met before... But I can't recall. And here I thought Amnesia was Slowpoke's move. My name is Avery. I'm a senior member of the dojo you are to join."
::'''What dojo?/I think you've got the wrong person...''' : ''"You're here to join the Master Dojo, are you not? I also train there."

: ''"My goodness, this is a thick one. Like a poor, lost Wooloo... It's up to me- as an elegant adult- to make sure they get the message."
: ''"Perhaps a show of strength is the best one to get to know each other. I'll await you outside. Once you're ready, come out to face me."
: ''"Time to show him/her who the better trainer is..."

;[[Fields of Honor]]
* Outside Station
:''"Hm? Is this your first visit to the Isle of Armor? You would no doubt like to run around and explore freely, but first, let's make sure you can handle yourself. Naturally, as a member of the Master Dojo... I'll be using my psychic powers to test your strength! Come on now.. Don't overexert yourself!"

*In battle
:''"Heh. I'll show you what true power looks like."
::'''Upon landing a hit''': ''"Heh. I've dealt the first damage you've taken on this island."
::'''Upon landing a supereffective hit''': ''"That's the power of type matchups. Truly, this shall be an elegant battle!"
::'''Before sending out final Pokémon''': ''"Wh-when did I get beat down to my last Pokémon?! Did you use Hypnosis on me?"
::'''When defeated''': ''"Such strength! I'm in Psyshock!"

*After battle
:''"Ah, um... Could...could you give me a moment?"
: ''"Improbable... No impossible! What kind of Trick did this kid use? If a trainer of this talent arrives at the Dojo, then the people there very well may suffer Amnesia about my very existence! If only I could get rid of him/her... But I've been tasked with escorting her to the dojo..."
: ''"You have potential. Why, you made me use a whole three percent of my strength! Still... How should I put this... Our dojo is a respected place, where even the famous Champion Leon trained. What I'm trying to say is, I don't think you're quite up to snuff..."
: ''"Therefore! I suggest you ignore the Master Dojo standing over there and head home as soon as you're done seeing the sights! I suppose you can have this, too, as a parting gift."
: ''"Show it when you next visit a boutique or hair salon, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a more-elegant grab, like mine. Now then... Farewell! I doubt I'll see you again. Avery, Teleport!"
*Outside Master Dojo
:''"It would appear so. I'll have you know, my offer to escort them was perfect. He/She rather abruptly absconded after our battle..."
:''"Hmm? Gah!"
:''"Yes, right! That's correct, ma'am! I swear, I thought you had used Teleport or something, you disappeared so quickly! Regardless! It gives me great joy to know that you decided to come after all!"
:''"Bagh! Why? For what purpose is he/she here?! My Future Sight must be off! I must think... Before Ms. Honey figures out I told an innocent little lie..."
:''"Heh, it's an honor to make your acquaintance."
:''"Now, listen... If you dare breathe a word of what happened at the station to Ms. Honey... Well, let's just say my psychic powers are very potent. Do I make myself clear?"

;[[Master Dojo]]
*If talked to prior to battling Mustard
:''"You can always call if you run into any trouble. Call somebody else, that is."

*After battling Mustard
:''"Pardon me, Master! I haven't received my uniform yet! I dare say it's unfair for only that child to get a uniform. Unequal, even! I demand an item swap!"
:''"Ha! It does pay to complain sometimes!"
:''"Eek! What in the world? Hey! My Dojo Uniform! It's gone missing!"
:''"Hmm?"
:''"How dare you? Are you using Trick?! Return my Dojo Uniform immediately!"
:''"Oh my! Where do you think you're going?!"
*After completing first trial
:''"You... Were able to reclaim my uniform all all by yourself?"
::'''Here you go!/You can have it back''': ''"Hmph! You have my thanks."

*If talked to prior to choosing Bulbasaur or Squirtle
:''"Don't go getting all uppity from one trifling success..."

*If talked to prior to starting the second trial
:''"It would seem I am fated not to accept your capabilities as of yet... I will obtain the Max Mushrooms first and claim victory with my own two hands!"

;[[Warm-Up Tunnel]]
*Upon finding Max Mushrooms
:''"Wait just one moment!"
:''"*pant*... *pant*..."
:''"Hah! Just as I expected! Multiple Max Mushrooms growing in a bunch! My psychic powers picked up on these Max Mushrooms eons before you found them. I believe I should be the first one to get those Max Mushrooms. First come, first served, and all!"
::'''No way!''': ''"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't listen to reason."
::'''Sure, you can have them!''': ''"What's this? Are you trying to show you're stronger than me? How distasteful!"
:''"I find your presence most disturbing! You show up at the dojo unannounced and go on to show such talent, even though you're still so young..."
:''"You dare get in my way? I warned you about my psychic powers, and now you'll experience them firsthand!"

*In battle
:''"I think it's about time we found out...which one of us is truly superior!."
::'''When player lands a supereffective hit''': ''"H-how cheeky. Let's agree that move is banned from now on, yes?"
::'''Upon landing a supereffective hit''': ''"Before my psychic powers, all your weaknesses are laid bare!"
::'''When using Psybeam''': ''"I'll have you dancing in the palm of my hand! This is my most powerful, elegant Psychic move!"
::'''Before sending out final Pokémon''': ''"I am not weak! I cannot lose!"
::'''When defeated''': ''"What a Psystrike to my poor pride..."

*After battle
:''"Blast it. Victory still eludes me... What is it that I lack? What do I need? Very well, you can have those ones. I'll go and find myself some Max Mushrooms that are far more elegant! Avery, teleport!"

;[[Master Dojo]]

:''"Ms. Honey I beg you! Wait just one moment..."
:''"*pants*... *pants* I-I've also obtained some Max Mushrooms!"
:''"*sniff*... I did it... Y-yes, I did search rather hard..."
:''"Master, Ms. Honey...if you could grant me one wish, just this once, I would be indebted. Would you be so kind as to use my Max Mushrooms in the Max Soup? I feel that everyone here should enjoy the taste of my efforts..."
:''"Ms. Honey."

*If talked to prior to talking to Mustard
:''"What's this? Are you here because the Master summoned you, too?"
*Upon speaking to Mustard
:''"When I heard you had something to tell me, I came as soon as I could, Master."
:''"A final...last...ultimate...third trial, you say?"
:''"So you're saying this would be the last trial?"
:''"We are to battle one another? That is the last trial?"
:''"This is it... At last... Can I really...?"
:''"I-I must make haste! I must make for the Battle Court, posthaste! I must meditate on my upcoming victory! A good day to you, then. I'll be on my way. Feel free to take it easy like a Slowpoke, and take all the time you need to get ready!"

;[[Battle Court]]

*If the player tries to enter the Battle Court without talking to him
:''"Ignoring me and leaving first... Is your Nature Hasty?"
*Upon talking to him
:''"So, you've come at last."
:''"Defeating you will grant me the secret armor...then I will at last have what I need to become a Psychic-type Gym Leader! No matter what it takes, I refuse to accept anything but a complete and utter victory... I'm coming at you with everything I have. Are you prepared?"

::'''No''': ''"You're going to tell me you're not ready? After all that's been said? Truly, your nature must be Bold."

*In battle
:''"Heh. Let us have an elegant battle worthy of being called a finale. Prepare to sink into despair...and into the weird battlefield beneath your feet!"
::'''When player lands a supereffective hit''': ''"Ah! Are you all right, my elegant Pokémon?"
::'''Upon landing a supereffective hit''': ''"Heh, a supereffective hit! That was an elegant move choice on my part, wouldn't you agree?"
::'''Before sending out final Pokémon''': ''"We shall awaken our true psychic power here and now!"
::'''When [[Dynamaxing]] [[Slowbro]]''': ''"With a one, two, three...this Poké Ball will grow gigantic!"
::'''Before using [[Max Mindstorm]]''': ''"My unbelievable psychic powers will utterly humiliate you!"
::'''When defeated''': ''"Oh, I could just Imprison myself for this!"

*After battle
:''"It appears...I have lost."
:''"Heh, now pathetic. I lost even though I resorted to such underhanded tactics. I don't think young, capable children like you can understand how I feel. I am just an average man who gave everything he possibly could..."
:''"Perhaps it's time I stopped playing around and gave up my dreams of being a Gym Leader..."
:''"After the less-than-reputable things I did, I'm likely to be expelled from the dojo. <player>, you are free to tell the master about the awful things I did."

::'''OK''': ''"Sorry for what I did..."
::'''I won't''': ''"Wh-what are you saying? But I turned to the shadows like a Dark type to try to win!"
:''"M-Master?!"
:''"*sniff*"
:''"Master...I thank you... You have my apologies, <player>."
:''"What?! Is that all I have to do? And you'll forgive me?"
:''"O-OK!"
:''"Pardon me. Um... <player>, I..."
:''"I will admit to acknowledging your strength just a little."

;[[Master Dojo]]

*If talked to after receiving [[Kubfu]]
:''"One day I hope to be as strong as..."
:''"No, never mind. Use Amnesia and forget what I just said."

*If spoken to after becoming Champion
:''"In order to defeat others, I need to first be able to defeat myself. I understand that now. In theory, anyway..."

;[[Battle Court]]

*After defeating Mustard
:''"<player>... Well, um, how should I put this...? I thought mayhap I should offer my congratulations..."
:''"But I won't! Honestly, I don't see why I should celebrate anything! I will admit...I do feel a bit better. I couldn't hold a candle to a Trainer who defeated the master at his full strength!"
:''"But when we next meet on the field of battle...it will be I who takes the victory...in a fair fight, no less!"
::'''I don't think I'll lose!/Are you sure?''': ''"Y-you've got quite the attitude! Though maybe it's not as bad as mine..."

;[[Potbottom Desert]]

:''"Go, Slowpoke! Use an elegant move!"
:''"Unbelievable... Truly UNBELIEVABLE! All that effort and I'm still just spinning my wheels..."
:''"I need to get stronger so that a certain someone will recognize me for the great Trainer than I am."
:''"<player>?! How long have you-! Can you use Agility or something?"

::'''Are you training?''': ''"Tch! Training in hiding is not very elegant. I turn back what you say as though I used Mirror Coat!"
::'''How've you been?''': ''"What an abrupt question... I am doing at least two billion times as well as you are."
:''"Forget what you saw me doing with the utmost of haste! Use Amnesia!"
:''"You are to think of that as a contract between the two of us, understand?"
:''"Well then, it's time for- You guessed it... Avery, teleport!"

;[[Master Dojo]]

:''"<player>...are you perhaps interested in assisting me in my training?"

::'''Yes''': ''"A wise decision. Let us head for the Battle Court."
::'''No''': ''"Hmm. How unfortunate that you would refuse... I shall remember this insult for the rest of my life."

*In battle
:''"I'll send your head spinning just like this Poké Ball!"
::'''When player lands a supereffective hit''': ''"S-supereffective? Your Nature certainly isn't Calm, is it?"
::'''Upon landing a supereffective hit''': ''"No amount of training can hide one's weaknesses... That goes for you, too!"
::'''Before sending out final Pokémon''': ''"My power only grows when my back's to the wall. You've no one to blame for this but yourself!"
::'''When [[Dynamaxing]] [[Slowbro]]''': ''"With a one, two, three...my Pokémon will be gigantic! And with nothing up my sleeves, either!"
::'''Before using [[Max Mindstorm]]''': ''"Witness my ESP! Which, of course, stands for Elegant Spectacular Power!"
::'''When defeated''': ''"More! I require more! Show me your Stored Power!"

*After battle
*If player wins
:''"Just as my Future Sight predicted! But I was still able to learn from that battle. Thank you..."

*If player is beaten
:''"An admittedly unexpected victory! Perhaps I released some of my Stored Power? Still, I must become even stronger! I hope you will battle me again sometime."

*If spoken to again
:''"I have exhausted too much of my power today. Please come back another time."

==Trivia==
* Avery's uniform number is "026", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for おつむ ''otsumu'', meaning "brain".
* While Avery speaks to the player, he uses various Psychic-type moves in his speeches, such as "Avery, Teleport!"

Wimp Out (Ability)

'''Wimp Out''' (Japanese: '''にげごし''' ''Back Off'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Wimpod}} and a clone of the ability {{a|Emergency Exit}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
When a Pokémon with Wimp Out drops below half of its full {{stat|HP}} in battle, it will [[escape|flee]] in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles, or [[recall|switch out]] in {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles. It can only activate when a Pokémon's HP falls from above half to below half; if it does not activate at that time, it will not activate at all (unless the Pokémon with this Ability restores HP).

Wimp Out will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half due to hurting itself in {{status|confusion}}, {{weather|hail}}, {{weather|sandstorm}}, or using {{m|Substitute}} or {{m|Belly Drum}}, but it will activate if the HP falls below half from {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}} damage. If the Pokémon falls below half HP and immediately consumes a [[Sitrus Berry]] or other Berry to rise above half, Wimp Out does not activate, but if it falls below half and recovers back above half from a [[Shell Bell]], Wimp Out will activate even after the Shell Bell recovery, and cause the Pokémon to retreat.

Wimp Out will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half by a move affected by {{a|Sheer Force}}.

It will activate only after the last hit of [[multi-strike move]]s, even if the HP of the Pokémon with this Ability drops below half before the last hit. If this Ability activates due to being hit by {{m|U-turn}} or {{m|Volt Switch}}, the user of that move will not be switched out. This Ability also will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half while it is in the air during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Sky Drop}}.

{{cat|Trapping moves}} do not prevent Wimp Out from activating.

If the Pokémon with Wimp Out holds a [[Red Card]] or [[Eject Button]], the item activates first. {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} switch out Pokémon before the Ability activates.

Wimp Out will not activate on the player's Pokémon in wild battles during [[Island challenge|trials]].

===Outside of battle===
Wimp Out has no effect outside of battle.

'''Mankey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンキー''' ''Mankey'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Primeape}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
[[File:Mankey Primeape banana.png|thumb|left|250px|Mankey eating bananas]]
Mankey is a {{wp|simian}} Pokémon, similar to a {{wp|New World monkey}}. It is bipedal and has a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. Its nose is similar to a pig's snout, and it has narrow, red eyes and triangular ears with brown insides. Mankey's three-fingered hands, two-toed feet, and the tip of its curved, prehensile tail are brown. Along with {{p|Stufful}}, it is the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] known {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Mankey specializes in physical fighting and is very aggressive and short-tempered. When angry, Mankey begins shaking and its breathing turns rough. Its rage peaks quickly, preventing its victim from being able to flee. It will rampage until it falls asleep, but its anger remains in its dreams. This causes it to wake up and become furious all over again. However, this constant release of stress grants it a long life. Mankey can be found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason. If it loses sight of its colony or if it is left alone to rage, its loneliness causes it to become infuriated.

According to the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] games, Mankey's preferred food is {{wp|chestnut}}s. However, Mankey usually lacks the dexterity to peel them. It becomes agitated and rage after attempting to peel a chestnut's spiky shell. Additionally, it also appears to be fond of bananas in [[EP065|the anime]].

* Mankey may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Meowth}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 28. Mankey is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}, {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go Pikachu!]]; while Meowth is exclusive to Blue, Silver, SoulSilver, and Let's Go Eevee!. Also, in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Yancy]] will trade the {{player}} a Meowth if the player is male, and [[Curtis]] will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
* According to {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Mankey was designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]].
* Unlike other Pokémon, Mankey runs in front of the player instead of behind them in {{g|Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee|s}}

===Origin===
Considering its {{wp|pig}}-like nose, long tail, habitat, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with {{wp|baboon}}s.

====Name origin====
Mankey may be a combination of ''mad'' or ''man'' and ''{{wp|monkey}}''. It could also be a pun on ''cranky'', referring to Mankey's irritable personality.

Beautiful (condition)

2020-09-15T07:59:44Z

TechSkylander1518:

{{conditions}}
The '''Beautiful condition''', also called '''Beauty''' (Japanese: '''うつくしさ''' ''Beauty''), is one of the five different {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Contest condition|conditions]].

==Characteristics==
[[File:025Pikachu-Belle.png|250px|thumb|Belle [[Cosplay Pikachu]], whose special move is {{m|Icicle Crash}}]]
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will have its Beautiful condition raised when fed [[Pokéblock]]s or [[Poffin]]s made with [[Flavor|dry-tasting, blue-colored]] {{Berries}}. Pokémon with [[Nature]]s that boost {{stat|Special Attack}}—Modest, Mild, Quiet, and Rash—get the most benefit from Berries that have a dry flavor, as a result, they are the easiest to raise for a Beauty Contest. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it can be raised by having a Pokémon {{pkmn|groomer|groomed}} by [[Daisy Oak]] or the [[haircut brothers]].

When competing in the Beautiful category, a Pokémon with an enhanced Beautiful condition will score higher in the {{DL|Pokémon Contest|primary judging}} of a [[Pokémon Contest]], the [[Visual Competition]] of a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], and the Introduction Round of a Pokémon Contest Spectacular. This can also be assisted with the use of the [[Blue Scarf]]. Many {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Fairy}}- and {{type|Water}} [[move]]s will become Beauty moves when used in Contests.

A {{p|Feebas}}'s Beautiful condition, when raised to 170 points or more, will cause it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}} when it is next [[Level|leveled up]]. This [[Methods of evolution|evolution method]] still works in games where there is no way to affect Contest conditions, so long as Feebas is transferred forward or traded with the requirement already met. The [[Prism Scale]] was introduced as an alternate way for Feebas to evolve, however.

During a Beauty Contest, the audience will react as follows:

==Awards==
At the end of a Beauty Contest, the winning Pokémon will receive a [[List of Ribbons in the games#Contest Ribbons|Contest]] [[Ribbon]]. Additionally, in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s are awarded special [[Accessory|Accessories]] the first time they win the Contest. Different Ribbons and Accessories are awarded for winning in each of the four {{OBP|rank|Contest}}s. Finally, visiting [[Mr. Goods]] after winning the Master Rank contest will earn the players a trophy.

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

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Altaria Wet.png|thumb|left|250px|A wet Altaria in [[SM086|the anime]].]]
Altaria is a blue, avian Pokémon. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue with four toes, three claws forward, and one backward. The tail is made up of five feathers, the outer two being longer than the inner ones.

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

This Pokémon uses its wings to catch updrafts and soar across the sky. It gracefully glides through the clouds, often while singing or humming in a soprano voice. Its voice seems to have special properties that induce a dreamy state for listeners. Altaria can be very affectionate, enveloping people it has bonded with in its cotton-like wings. Altaria is often found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it also inhabits mountain ranges.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|same type combination]] as [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Altaria.
** Mega Altaria is also the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon immune to Dragon-type moves, as well as the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
* Altaria is the quickest Dragon-type Pokémon to reach level 100, needing only 600,000 experience points to do so. It shares this trait with the {{p|Applin}} evolutionary family.

===Origin===
Altaria is likely based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers.

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

====Name origin====
Altaria is a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high'') or ''altus'' (Latin for ''high'') and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''). ''{{wp|Aria}}'' in music can refer to expressive melody, relating to Altaria's singing abilities. "Ria" could additionally be a misspelling of {{wp|Rhea}}, the name of a large white bird. It may also refer to the star {{wp|Altair}}, the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, the Eagle.

Tyltalis may refer to ''{{wp|Epsilon Draconis|Tyl}}''—also known as Epsilon Draconis—a star in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}, the Dragon. It may also be a reference to the play ''L'Oiseau Bleu'' (''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'') by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}. The story is about two siblings, Mytyl and Tyltyl (ミチル ''Michiru'' and チルチル ''Chiruchiru'' in the Japanese translation of the play), who are tasked with finding the "blue bird of happiness."

Mass outbreak

2020-08-25T23:40:06Z

TechSkylander1518:

[[File:RanchSkittyOutbreak.jpg| 200px|thumb|right|[[My Pokémon Ranch]] explaining the general mechanics of a mass outbreak]]
'''Mass outbreaks''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大量発生|たいりょうはっせい}}''' ''mass outbreak''), also known as '''swarms''', '''Pokémon outbreaks''', or '''wild outbreaks''', are a feature introduced in [[Generation II]] that allows the {{player}} to catch Pokémon that are usually rare or otherwise unobtainable. They appear from Generations {{gen|II}} to {{gen|V}}.

==In the games==
===[[Generation II]]===
In Generation II, if the player registered a certain Trainer in the [[Pokégear]], that Trainer occasionally calls to tell the player that they saw or heard about a large number of Pokémon in a certain area. Until midnight (in-game time), the swarming Pokémon appear in the given area with much greater frequency than the usual 1%.

===[[Generation III]]===
In Generation III, in addition to making rare Pokémon temporarily more common, this feature can be combined with [[record mixing]] to allow the player to catch Pokémon that cannot be caught at all normally. Pokémon encountered through mass outbreaks will also have a predefined set of moves.

After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], every time the player wins a battle, there is a ~0.5% (328/65536) chance that the game will generate an outbreak; this does not apply to link battles, e-Reader battles, the Safari Zone, or the Battle Tower/Frontier. After an outbreak is generated, the television program announcing it will appear the next day. Once the television program has been watched, the outbreak becomes active.<ref>https://twitter.com/starla4444/status/937089825093627904</ref> Outbreaks last until the end of the day after they became active, during which time the swarming Pokémon will have an appearance rate of 50%.

The [[record mixing]] feature of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allows players to give an outbreak they've seen to other players, regardless of whether that outbreak would [[game-exclusive Pokémon|naturally occur in the player's game]]. The traded outbreaks will be announced on television in the following days after mixing records.

===[[Generation IV]]===
Mass outbreaks were largely expanded in Generation IV. Once the player attains the [[National Pokédex]] and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], a "swarm of Pokémon" will appear every day in a particular location, which changes the probability of finding the given Pokémon from 0% to 40%. Outbreaks last only one day and are random events. Information about mass outbreaks can be found in [[Sandgem Town]] by talking to {{tt|Lucas/Dawn|depending on the player's gender}}'s sister or by watching the Sinnoh [[television]] {{sup/4|DPPt}}, or by listening to [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] {{sup/4|HGSS}}.

When players all join the same [[group]], they will all experience the same outbreak on any given day.

The species of an outbreak seems to be determined using a formula, because it is not chosen randomly when the player starts the game that day. Even if the date is edited, the next swarm will always be the same. It is also possible that the species is determined the day before, though there is no additional evidence to support this. If the DS clock is changed or a different DS is used, then the game will detect this and will not change the species swarming until 12:00 AM.

===={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}====
Many of the Pokémon obtained through mass outbreaks are outside of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], and are usually otherwise exclusive to other [[region]]s.

Due to the high encounter chances for Pokémon that appear during outbreaks, they make for longer and better chains when using the [[Poké Radar]].

===[[Generation V]]===
The [[gate]]s in [[Unova]] have a monitor inside that will alert the player to where an outbreak is taking place.

Unlike in previous games, mass outbreaks can be manipulated by [[soft resetting]] the game, but only if the player has not saved their game at all that day. When the game is restarted, there will be a different Pokémon swarming.

===={{2v2|Black|White}}====
During winter, the monitor may occasionally not report on outbreaks, which is due to parts of Route 8, where Croagunk can be found, becoming frozen during [[Season (mechanic)|Winter]] and not allowing the Pokémon to be caught there. All outbreaks in these games have a level range of 15-55.

'''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Rocket-dan'', literally ''Rocket Gang'') is a [[villainous team]] in pursuit of evil and the exploitation of Pokémon. They are based in the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions, with a small outpost in the [[Sevii Islands]].

While its main focus is stealing or capturing rare and strong Pokémon, and subsequently selling them, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. At times, it has even [[Marowak (ghost)|killed]] Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of [[Team Rocket HQ|one]] of their many bases, is "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.

==In the games==
===In Kanto===
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, Team Rocket's attention is focused in their home region of Kanto, distributing Pokémon as prizes through the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and the [[Team Rocket Hideout|secret subterranean hideout]] underneath it. In [[Mt. Moon]], one of the many grunts says that Team Rocket intends to sell the [[Fossil|Pokémon Fossils]] they are mining in the cave. Several members also broke into a house in [[Cerulean City]] to steal a TM from its owner, and a mission devoted to stealing {{p|Cubone}} skulls in [[Lavender Town]] resulted in a hostage situation involving [[Mr. Fuji]] and the death of a {{p|Marowak}}. Another hostage situation developed soon afterward when the organization overran [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]] with the intention of getting the plans for the [[Master Ball]], a prototype of which had already been produced. A Team Rocket recruiter runs the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge north of Cerulean, and asks the player to join the Team when the challenge is completed.

The {{player}} is tasked with ousting the organization from its strongholds, and doing so, will meet the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]]. He is adamant about the success of his plots, but is not heard from again after his appearance at Silph until the player returns to [[Viridian City]] for his or her final Badge—which Giovanni himself is in charge of giving out, being the region's eighth, {{t|Ground}}-specialist Gym Leader. After the player has defeated him this final time, Giovanni acknowledges the player as a better Trainer and disappears without a trace, vowing to disband Team Rocket (though it is later revealed in Generation IV that he only intended to become stronger, and he deliberately didn't completely disband Team Rocket).

Three years later, one Team Rocket operative returned to Kanto to steal a critical part from its [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]]. Since only this member was involved in this plot, it is likely that he had no knowledge of Team Rocket's prior second disbandment and was working independently. Curiously enough, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he mentions that he will return to his home country and rebuild Team Rocket anew, something that he did not say in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|the original games]], though it is later revealed in {{2v2|Black|White}} that he gave up his plans when he returned [[Icirrus City|home]] and subsequently married, instead finding happiness with his new family. Team Rocket has not been seen since.

===In the Sevii Islands===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Team Rocket has a small branch in the [[Sevii Islands]], searching for the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} gems. This branch is based out of the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]], situated in the middle of the [[Five Isle Meadow]], where many Pokémon are held captive in cages.

Their search for the Ruby leads them to [[Mt. Ember]], though they fail to find it. They then appear in [[Icefall Cave]] where, with the help of [[Lorelei]], they are driven out. A scientist named [[Gideon]] then appears at the [[Dotted Hole]] to retrieve the Sapphire.

The player must then follow Gideon to their Rocket Warehouse where the Sapphire must be retrieved. After the player defeats the two Admins at the Rocket Warehouse, they realize that Giovanni has been defeated in Kanto, and without the lifeblood of the organization, all is lost for the Sevii Islands branch. Team Rocket subsequently pulled out of the Sevii Islands and has not been seen there since.

It is highly likely that this branch may be the precursor to the [[Johto]] branch that will appear [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|three years later]] from this time, as one of the computer screens has plans for a device to force Pokémon to evolve. Such a device will cause a rampage of Gyarados at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the plot of HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition, the Rocket members here vow to find Giovanni and rebuild Team Rocket, which will be the goal of Team Rocket during the Generation II games and their remakes. The Rocket Admins, considering their teams, may in fact be [[Ariana]] and [[Archer]]. However, the presence of an office used by Giovanni in the Mahogany Town base suggests that Team Rocket may have established the Johto branch before Giovanni initially disbanded the group.

===In Johto===
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, three years after the defeat of Giovanni at the hands of {{ga|Red}}, a few members of the old Team Rocket attempted to reestablish the organization and get it back in operation, while awaiting the return of [[Giovanni|their leader]], who was apparently away on solo training.

This new Team Rocket started off small, first kidnapping the {{p|Slowpoke}} from [[Azalea Town]] and holding them hostage to create rain, while selling their [[Slowpoke Tail|tails]] to the black market to help reform Team Rocket. They began their operation, led by Executive [[Proton]], in the [[Slowpoke Well]], where all of the local Slowpoke dwelled. However, with the help of [[Kurt]], the player manages to scare them away, and return the Slowpoke back to the town. When the player enters Goldenrod City, a Rocket is seen outside the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]]. In Generation IV in Ecruteak City, the player encounters a Rocket Grunt harassing a [[Kimono Girl]], and the player must defeat him. Eventually, they are encountered in [[Mahogany Town]], where they have set up a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret hideout]] in the basement of the town's shop, which stores a machine that emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves brainwash Pokémon and induce evolution in the {{p|Magikarp}} that live in the [[Lake of Rage]] north of the town, turning them into {{p|Gyarados}}, which are far more profitable than their pre-evolutionary form. With the help of the [[Indigo Plateau]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Lance]], the player defeats the syndicate once again. In this mission, the player must defeat Executives [[Petrel]] and [[Ariana]].

In a last-ditch attempt to get in contact with their former leader, Giovanni, the group hijacks the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], flooding the airwaves with a message to Giovanni. [[Petrel]], who disguised himself as the impostor station manager, met with the player, who challenged the Rocket Executive to a battle, and in the process, admitting the location of where they were holding the real station manager to the player, the Goldenrod Underground. Thus, with the real station manager free of Team Rocket's hold, the player rushes off to meet [[Archer]], the interim head of Team Rocket, where they face off in a final match. Once again defeated by the main protagonist, the Executives in charge of the operation vow to disband Team Rocket for good. Every Rocket Executive is fought in this mission. Likewise, several miles away, in [[Tohjo Falls]], Giovanni heard the message, intending to use it as his return, until he was defeated by the player and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}}, who had traveled back in time with {{p|Celebi}}.

The Team Rocket members involved in the Johto plot may be connected in some way to the Sevii Islands branch of Team Rocket, as the Executives have similar teams to the Executives there, while a computer in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] indicates the beginnings of the Lake of Rage plot.

===In Unova===
Although Team Rocket itself does not appear in [[Generation V]], it was implied that the Team Rocket operative in Cerulean City planned to re-establish Team Rocket in Unova, but he gave up on those plans when he married. He resides in [[Icirrus City]] with his wife and son. Team Rocket is also mentioned by a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} in [[N's Castle]] in the first games, who claims that their plans were thwarted because "they drew too much attention to themselves".

===In Alola===
{{main|Team Rainbow Rocket}}

In [[Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Giovanni had gathered together the last remains of the original Team Rocket to form a new, better organisation, [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], in Alola.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Team Rocket BW.png|thumb|Team Rocket as seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
[[File:Team Rocket new logo SM.png|left|thumb|The new Team Rocket logo in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Team Rocket is based in Kanto, much like the {{pkmn|games}}, with many smaller branches across Kanto and Johto. Like in the games, {{an|Giovanni}} was the Gym Leader of [[Viridian City]]'s Pokémon Gym during {{Ash}}'s journey through the region, however, he was later revealed to have abandoned his duties.

An underground school for aspiring Team Rocket operatives is present somewhere in the region, while the organization's headquarters were formerly near [[Pallet Town]]. The headquarters was relocated sometime during Ash's journey in Johto or [[Hoenn]] to a large building in a canyon following damages it sustained due to {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s anger at being controlled.

For the [[original series]], ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', the Team Rocket insignia from the games was used. However, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', a new, anime-exclusive 3D logo was introduced, being retained for most Team Rocket material well into ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. A variation of this logo with a circular symbol behind the insignia was introduced in ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', subsequently being utilized in Giovanni's office. Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the logo is flat. It has two variations, one with a circle behind it for Giovanni's office, and a red one that is used on the trio's balloon. The older logo is also used. This continues into ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', where multiple variants of the logo are used at different times.

====The trio====
{{main|Team Rocket trio}}
[[File:Team Rocket anime.png|left|thumb|Jessie, James and Meowth]]
A trio of Team Rocket field agents, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and a talking {{MTR}}, were defeated on an assignment to steal Pokémon from Viridian City's [[Pokémon Center]] by rookie Trainer [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and since then have followed him everywhere on his journey in order to steal the Pikachu that humiliated them. After following him through Kanto, the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and Johto, coming in contact with many other Team Rocket members along the way and being shown as incompetent compared to said members, the trio followed Ash to the [[Hoenn]] region under directions from Giovanni to establish a branch of Team Rocket there (though this was really only a ploy to get them out of his hair). When Ash returned from Hoenn after competing in its [[Ever Grande Conference|regional League Conference]], the trio returned to Kanto as well, empty-handed. After following him through Kanto once again, Giovanni assigned the trio to the [[Sinnoh]] region, again with the directive to establish a Team Rocket branch there.
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|thumb|Team Rocket in their black uniforms as seen from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' through ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'']]
Giovanni claimed before to not even recognize the three agents. Meowth often [[Boss fantasy|fantasizes]] about pleasing Giovanni with Pokémon captured using one of the trio's many harebrained schemes and mechas, at which point he would then replace [[Giovanni's Persian]] as "top cat", however this is hindered by both the fact that Ash and {{Ashfr}} defeat the trio each time, and formerly Giovanni's low opinion of the three as well, who have managed to eat up much of Team Rocket's funding with their failures.

While Giovanni viewed the trio as "bumbling idiots who can't do anything right", they have occasionally shown that they can do things right, if only by working on the side of Ash and his friends. It should be noted that when other Team Rocket members have come into contact with Ash or any of his friends they've been often just as easily foiled as these three.

The trio has often been shown as poor or having little money. This may be due to the amount of machinery and costumes they use in their attempts to capture Ash’s Pikachu. They often take on side-jobs like selling food at stadiums or creating fake items and selling them to the public. Several episodes after the series began, they notably started speaking in rhymes from time to time.
[[File:Team Rocket HQ anime.png|thumb|Team Rocket's Headquarters as seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', the trio stopped being the anime's comedic relief, accomplishing several missions assigned to them and also receiving new uniforms. They have also become more of a threat to Ash and his friends. Multiple agents were also situated in [[Unova]], who passed on information and orders to Jessie, James, and Meowth. Giovanni himself has also been featured much more prominently, regularly assigning the trio missions and passing on information. Eventually returning to their old costumes, but retaining their serious tone and weaponry, they acted under [[Dr. Zager]] to accomplish further missions.

Giovanni later returned to lead the trio in one last mission, Operation Tempest, in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Following its failure, Giovanni retreated with the trio to Kanto, but the trio later returned in ''[[BW109|New Places, Familiar Faces!]]''. At first returning to their original goal of capturing Pikachu, they later came into conflict with [[Team Plasma]] and eventually aided Ash and [[Looker]] in defeating [[Ghetsis]].

The trio returned fully to their previous role as comic relief in the ''Decolora Adventure!'' arc, roles they continued to retain during ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', but they still had advanced technology until the end of ''XY''. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] rejoined them in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', at the end of the ''Decolora Adventure!'' arc, and accompanied them to [[Kalos]] in ''XY'' and [[Alola]] in ''Sun & Moon'' as an effective fourth member of the group to steal rare Pokémon from those regions. Despite once again being comic relief, Jessie and James seem to have become much better at battling, immediately posing a challenge to Ash and his friends several times. Giovanni also continued to support them; he no longer admonished them for their failures and relied on them to accomplish Team Rocket's work in Kalos and Alola. However, Team Rocket had no presence in Kalos and Alola other than Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet. Starting in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', they have lived in a {{an|Bewear}}'s den on Alola's [[Melemele Island]]. In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', they finished building a secret Team Rocket base inside the den.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', the trio operate out of a base hidden underground in [[Vermilion City]] and travel to different parts of the world searching for new Pokémon to steal. They are now equipped with new tools, most notably a [[Rotom Phone]] and the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a capsule toy machine that provides them with Pokémon from Team Rocket's stock. As a result of this, they no longer use Pokémon of their own, although they have forged interactions with some of the Pokémon contained in the Rocket Prize Master.

====Other members====
Many other members of Team Rocket have appeared besides the aforementioned boss and the trio, most of them are field agents as well. In addition, at least in the dub, one of these members, [[Domino]], implies that Team Rocket had agents in even the most innoculous places such as a University. A recurring duo who are rivals with Jessie and James, [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], show up from time to time. This pair reports to [[Dr. Namba]], rather than Giovanni directly.

[[Attila]] and [[Hun]], operatives from Team Rocket's [[Johto]] branch, were featured as antagonists in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where they played the same role as Jessie and James do to {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]]. Other Johto operatives include {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}}, who was in charge of the [[Lake of Rage]] experimentation; Domino, an elite Team Rocket member that was part of [[Mewtwo Returns|a mission]] to recapture {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}; the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], a high-ranking agent who managed to [[M04|capture a Celebi in one of his Dark Balls]]; and [[Professor Sebastian]], a high-ranking Team Rocket scientist involved in both Attila and Hun's and Tyson's plots.

Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was at one time a Team Rocket member under [[Madame Boss|Giovanni's mother]]. However, she disappeared without a trace on an expedition to find and capture {{p|Mew}}.

[[Matori]], Giovanni's secretary, first appeared in the [[DP191|final episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. She appeared on occasion throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' to debrief Jessie, James, and Meowth. Her role was expanded in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', becoming a sort of rival figure to Jessie, recruiting an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}} to her cause, and leading a special unit of Team Rocket known as the Matori Matrix, which consists of other grunts such as [[Gozu]].

[[Pierce]] and [[Dr. Zager]] are two high-ranking members of the organization introduced to assist Jessie and James with their missions in [[Unova]]. Dr. Zager currently has a relationship to Jessie and James similar to that of Dr. Namba in relation to Butch and Cassidy, directly coordinating their missions and providing machinery. Among his creations were an energy cannon using the power of {{p|Roggenrola}} and the "[[BW047|Ghost Train]]".

Team Rocket has attempted to do many major and potentially globally-altering operations, including cloning DNA of Mew and altering it to create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. This stemmed out of a desire of Giovanni to appease his mother's obsession with Mew, although he ultimately desired Mewtwo for use as a weapon. When Mewtwo finally finished developing, he deceived Mewtwo into working for him, using him in Gym Battles against such Trainers as [[Gary Oak]] (who suffered his first of only four losses in the anime to date). Team Rocket also attempted to capture and control a {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Celebi}}, and it also created a device that could force Pokémon to evolve. It also [[M09|successfully managed]] to capture a {{p|Rayquaza}}, although it is never revealed whether they maintained control of it or if it managed to escape.

They have various means of [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|transportation]], such as boats, submarines, and helicopters.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Team Rocket Grunt PO.png|thumb|220px|Team Rocket in Pokémon Origins]]
In [[Pokémon Origins]], Team Rocket appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' and ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', serving the same purpose as their in-game version

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Team Rocket Grunt PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Team Rocket in Pokémon Generations]]
In [[Pokémon Generations]], Team Rocket first appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', in which several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunts}} were arrested after a successful raid at the [[Celadon Game Corner]] by the [[International Police]]. All the Grunts however, were both incapable and unwilling to tell anything about their leader [[Giovanni]]'s future plans. The Rocket Boss, later appeared at the end of the episode, watching over [[Viridian City]] before leaving.

Team Rocket reappeared in ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]'', in which their [[Team Rocket HQ|secret hideout]] was infiltrated by {{ga|Ethan}} and [[Lance]]. Their plan to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] was stopped when Lance destroyed the radio wave generator after defeating multiple Grunts and Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}} [[Petrel]].

Team Rocket appeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]'', when [[Looker]] described their takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to {{ga|Silver}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''Pokémon Adventures'', "Rocket" is an acronym standing for "'''R'''aid '''O'''n the '''C'''ity, '''K'''nock Out, '''E'''vil '''T'''usks."

===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Although grunts are first seen in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' searching for {{p|Mew}} in [[Pallet Town]], Team Rocket as an organization was not introduced until ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. Here, they are mentioned by {{adv|Professor Oak}} as an evil syndicate that use Pokémon for sinister purposes, mostly experiments. They are then seen looking for a [[Moon Stone]] in [[Mt. Moon]]. After running into Red and Misty, they battled them with a {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and when it looked like [[Pika]] may defeat it, a mysterious injection caused it to evolve into {{p|Rhydon}}. It was still defeated and the admin shown to be controlling it was [[Koga]].

Then they are seen with Red infiltrating their ranks trying to find {{adv|Green}}, who stole some information on Mew that was important for them. It was also revealed that under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] was a research facility for {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After Green was found they revealed another Pokémon with a special ability, a Tauros with the ability to control other Pokémon with a swish of its tail. However they were defeated when Green's [[Ditty]] transformed into that Tauros and make the other Pokémon defeat themselves. However, they believed they were alright since they retrieved the disc on Mew, which was, in fact, a fake. After realizing this, they go out to find a Mew they though they saw, which was Ditty again. Eventually, the grunts figure it out and run into Red and Green who found the real Mew. Later, as it was shown that the battle was going south, Mew stepped in and knocked out the Rocket that was leading this hunt and his {{p|Jynx}}, leaving after that and Red and Green get away as well.

They are then seen on the Seafoam Islands chasing after Articuno only to be once again stalled by Red to a point where Articuno (which froze itself) defrosted and their combined forces easily drove Team Rocket away once again. Then they appear on Cinnabar confronting Blaine who had betrayed them. After Red joins the fight, the Rocket grunts then reveal their Moltres and they disperse. Moltres is defeated by Red's Aerodactyl but is then revealed that the battle's outcomes don't matter since it is then revealed that [[Koga]] had captured Articuno and [[Lt. Surge]] had obtained {{p|Zapdos}}.

After Blue and Green fail to get into Saffron City, Blue takes a photo from the air showing some of Team Rocket's grunts there, making Blue figure out that it's their headquarters.

Once they get into Saffron City, Red, Blue, and Green enter Silph Co., albeit for their own reasons. In each room, one the three had to face one of Team Rocket's heads. Red defeated [[Lt. Surge]] on 1F, Blue beat [[Koga]] on 2F, and Green managed to subdue [[Sabrina]] on 3F. The three of them met on 4F where a merger of the [[Legendary birds]] was created by the Badge Energy Amplifier known as {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. Thu-Fi-Zer was defeated, freed, and split apart into the three birds. The Silph Co. building was destroyed with the three heads captured except {{adv|Giovanni}} who was still at large.

===={{chap|Yellow}}====
Team Rocket is disbanded except there are many rumors of Team Rocket slowly rebuilding. These rumors are proven true when the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] attacks the [[S.S. Anne]]. After that the three admins that were thought to be incarcerated or even dead were proven to be out and waiting for Blaine, Blue, and Yellow. They revealed that the S.S. Anne attack was just a ploy to get the Elite Four's attention, but since Yellow ruined it, their plan backfired. Sabrina then had her Alakazam make the [[Spoons of Destiny]], pairing each of the Pokédex holders with a rocket Admin. Blue went with Koga, Sabrina with Green, Yellow with Blaine, and Lt. Surge was paired with Red but went with Bill instead since Red had been kidnapped and Bill's spoon had not bent since he didn't want to fight.

Each of these pairings was able to defeat a member of the Elite Four. Koga and Blue beat Agatha, Red, Bill, and Lt. Surge beat Bruno, Green and Sabrina beat Lorelei, and Yellow and Blaine defeated Lance.

===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The '''Neo Team Rocket''' was a revived branch of Team Rocket in Johto. They were first seen trying to take the [[bag]] full of Pokémon that [[Joey]] had been entrusted to deliver to Professor Elm, but the ended up taking Gold's backpack instead, greatly angering Gold since it had all of his family Pokémon in it. After they realized they made the mistake, Team Rocket dumped the bag and went to Elm's lab, ending Gold and Silver's (who Gold thought was the culprit) battle by knocking out Gold with an Elekid. Silver then took them on and defeated all of the Rocket Grunts and they all disappeared by the time Gold regained consciousness.

They appeared once again at the [[Ruins of Alph]], searching for the Unown when they encountered Bugsy and Gold. Gold had his Sunbo use flash to blind them which in turn, had the Unown which they all thought were simply symbols on the wall come out and attack them. Team Rocket then had their {{p|Spinarak}} use Spider Web to trap Gold and Bugsy in a room, but Gold had [[Exbo]] use SmokeScreen so some Unown would get caught in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Their new leader then appeared in the shadows and mumbled about their incompetence.

They then appeared inside the Slowpoke Well trying to get Slowpoke Tails but Silver appeared and defeated all of them single-handedly.

They next appeared in [[Ecruteak City]] where it was revealed that an earthquake that hit the city was really caused by them and an admin's {{p|Piloswine}}. They then battle against {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, mainly Silver so they could get revenge for him ruining their Slowpoke Well Operation but Gold joined in to get back at them for interrupting his first battle with Silver. They defeated them and they retreated since, according to the female admin, they had gotten the information they needed on Ho-Oh's behavioral patterns.

They then had their leader revealed to be the [[Masked Man]], and he sent the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] to catch the Legendary beast, {{p|Suicune}}. They failed due to {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]]'s interference.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
:''For the trio of Legendary Pokémon, see [[Legendary beasts]].''
{{spoilers}}
[[File:The Three Beasts.png|thumb|Carr, Orm, and Sird]]
'''The Three Beasts''' (Japanese: '''三獣士''' ''Three Beast Warriors'') are powerful Team Rocket members who appear in this chapter. They are {{adv|Giovanni}}'s new lieutenants and are quite powerful and ruthless. They are individually known as [[Carr]], [[Orm]], and [[Sird]].

Under Giovanni's command, they raid the [[Sevii Islands]] looking for Red, Green and Blue. It seems this was done to obtain data on {{adv|Deoxys}}. After Giovanni captured Deoxys, they headed back to Kanto. Both Carr and Orm have used a black [[Pokédex]], which are used to determine their opponents' {{stat|Attack|Attack stat}} and [[level]].

At the end of the chapter, Carr was led to believe that Giovanni was going to pass on the leadership of Team Rocket to Silver. He attempted to overthrow the other Three Beasts members, as well as Giovanni. Orm was thrown off the ship, with his whereabouts currently unknown, and Carr attempted to kill Sird, Red, Giovanni, and the others aboard Team Rocket's gigantic helicopter.

Sird, however, survived, and attempted to recapture Deoxys. She failed, but managed to petrify {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} in the process.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Three years later, Carr attempts to revive Team Rocket with him as the new boss. However, he is quickly stopped by the '''Rocket Executives''', being led by [[Archer]] and his comrades, [[Ariana]], [[Proton]], and [[Petrel]]. The four executives reveal their goal which is to find Giovanni and have him be the rightful ruler of Team Rocket once again.

The goal of the executives was to collect all the Plates in order to summon {{adv|Arceus}} and bring back Giovanni with its power. Each of the executives had their own role in the mission: Petrel to find all the Plates, Proton to locate the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], Ariana to ward off all intruders, and Archer to find Arceus. Petrel initially had three of the sixteen Plates but they were stolen by Silver. Ariana battled Crystal and nearly won but the battle was interrupted by Arceus.

Eventually, Silver collected all sixteen Plates and the three Dexholders are warped to the Sinjoh Ruins along with Arceus and the executives. There, Archer has control of Arceus due to him being in possession of the Plates and he cries out to Giovanni. Archer forces Arceus to create the Creation trio. Silver is shocked by the mention of Giovanni's name and Petrel reveals to Silver that he knows that Silver is the son of their boss. He attacks Silver and reveals that he intends to betray his teammates so he can be second-in-command of Team Rocket. Silver attempts to distract the generals by sacrificing himself and Gold and Crystal uses that opportunity to use the Ultimate Moves to destroy the Creation trio. Arceus regains control of itself and uses its powers to send the Executives flying.

However, the creation process cannot be stopped and so Arceus succeeds in creating the Creation trio. Archer starts to lose his sanity and claims that all Arceus creates belongs to Team Rocket. Archer's behavior starts to scare his teammates and Petrel attempts to escape by disguising as Giovanni. However, he is stopped by the real Giovanni himself.

At first, Archer is delighted to see that the real Giovanni has returned. However, Giovanni, knowing that Archer's plans may potentially destroy the world, tries to stop the Creation trio with the returned Lance and Pryce. Archer is horrified by this and deems Giovanni as no longer the man and leader he thought he was. Archer, having lost his mind, runs at Arceus but is simply knocked back and lands on top of Petrel. The other executives remain hiding behind rocks, watching the battle.

After Gold manages to calm Arceus down by successfully connecting with his Pokémon, Petrel attempts to escape by disguising as Bugsy. He is spotted by Gold and is stopped by Lance. When Gold asks Lance how he was defeated by a coward by Petrel, Lance explains that Petrel managed to stun him by disguising as {{adv|Yellow|a Trainer with the same powers and birthplace as him}}.

After having stopped the Creation trio, Giovanni is visibly exhausted due to his disease. However, the Team Rocket Elite Trio managed to obtain the herbs needed to cure Giovanni's disease with the help of Gold's Pichu, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] and Celebi. After being cured, Giovanni decides to lead Team Rocket once again. He offers Silver a position in the team but Silver declines, stating that he shall stop Giovanni one day. Giovanni accepts his son's decision and walks away with the other Rocket members. Archer is carried off by a female grunt from the crowd and Giovanni states that he shall meet his punishment soon.

==Trivia==
* Team Rocket is the villainous team to have the most regions in its scope, as it had operatives in Kanto, the Sevii Islands, and Johto.
** In the anime, it also has operatives in the Orange Islands and Unova. It is also implied that they had operatives in Hoenn and Sinnoh after their [[Team Magma|respective]] [[Team Aqua|villainous]] [[Team Galactic|teams]] were disbanded.
* Team Rocket is the only main series villainous team to not have anything to do with their respective games' version mascots. In the same way, they are the only villainous team that has yet to try and use a Legendary Pokémon to achieve their goals in the games.
** In the anime, however, Team Rocket has tried to obtain the most Legendary Pokémon for their own uses (by Jessie and James) out of any other villainous team.
** In Pokémon Adventures manga, they did have in their plans (and eventually succeeded) catching {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}, but were then released; {{p|Mew}} to create {{p|Mewtwo}}; in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, their missions included catching {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Celebi}}; in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, their mission was to capture {{p|Deoxys}}; in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, their mission was to capture {{p|Arceus}} and create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.
* Both Jessie and James have befriended or owned a Pokémon whose species are known to frequently work for the good of common people, a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] and a [[Growlie|Growlithe]] respectively, with Chansey being known to work as nurses and Growlithe (along with Arcanine) being often used as police dogs. This is unusual, considering Team Rocket's association with crime and illegal activities.
* Team Rocket is one of only two villainous teams to have explicitly caused a death, that of {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|the Marowak in Pokémon Tower}}. The other is Team Galactic, whom a Trainer, Roughneck Kirby, blamed for the deaths of most of his Pokémon.
* Team Rocket's uniforms vaguely resemble {{wp|bōsōzoku}} uniforms.

TechSkylander1518: Removing the alchemy references, adding some old information on the page about the relationships theme so it's not barren. (Removing the alchemy speculation was endorsed by Jr Admin celadonk, I've just finally got the time to actually do it lol)

The '''seventh generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第七世代|だいななせだい}}}}''' ''seventh generation'') of [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn|games}} is the seventh installment of the Pokémon video game series starting with {{g|Sun and Moon}}, continuing with {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and ending with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Unlike previous generations, the core series games of the seventh generation were released on two different Nintendo platforms, with the Alola-based games released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the Kanto-based games released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is the last generation released on the 3DS and the first one on the Switch.

==History==
The seventh generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sun and Moon}} on February 27, 2016, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]]. These are the first pair of games in the generation and were released worldwide on November 18, 2016, except in Europe where they were released on November 23, 2016.

The second pair of games in this generation, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, were revealed in a Pokémon Direct held on June 6, 2017. The games take place in Alola once again, but with a new story and includes Pokémon that cannot be found in Sun and Moon. The games were released worldwide on November 17, 2017.

The third and final pair of games, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], were revealed at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference]] held on May 29, 2018. The games take place in [[Kanto]] and are inspired by {{game|Yellow}}. The games were released worldwide on November 16, 2018.

Some of the Generation VII games can communicate with games from previous generations. Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon can communicate with the application [[Pokémon Bank]], via which Pokémon from the [[Generation VI]] games can be received. By way of [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon Bank can also receive Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation I]] games, from which they can be moved to Generation VII games. Combined with other [[Template:Inter-gen transfer|inter-generational transfer]] methods, this makes the seventh generation the first generation since Generation II able to communicate with all previous games.

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can communicate with the mobile app [[Pokémon GO]] and is able to receive Pokémon that originate from the app and can send a special Pokémon to Pokémon GO. It currently cannot communicate with any other [[core series]] games.

==In-game continuity==
{{spoilers}}
{{g|Sun and Moon}} occurs two years after the events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Various characters from previous generations such as: [[Sina]], [[Dexio]], [[Looker]], {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}, [[Colress]], {{ga|Red}}, and {{ga|Blue}} make appearances, with many of them looking significantly older than in previous games.

During the postgame missions in Sun and Moon, it is revealed that Anabel fell into an Ultra Wormhole prior to the events of Sun and Moon and became a {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}}, which are individuals who have passed through Ultra Wormholes, and is hinted to be the same Anabel that appeared in [[Pokémon Emerald]]'s {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, however, she suffers from {{wp|retrograde amnesia}}. [[Professor Burnet]] who originated from the side game, [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], is revealed to be living in Alola and is researching the phenomena surrounding Ultra Wormholes.

{{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} are set in an alternate universe similar, but slightly different, to Sun and Moon. The events of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon follow those of the first games, but slightly diverge in its details. Some of the worlds that the player may visit through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] are hinted at being alternate versions of Alola, such as: the [[Ultra Space Wilds]], and the [[Ultra Ruin]], the latter being a world that is thoroughly hinted at being a destroyed [[Hau'oli City]] from an alternate dimension. In [[Episode RR]], [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] takes over the [[Festival Plaza]] and [[Aether Paradise]] in hopes of taking over other worlds using the Ultra Wormhole technology developed by the Aether Foundation. Team Rainbow Rocket is later revealed to be composed of the [[villainous team]] leaders from previous generations, with [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s leaders, [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], appearing as they did in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It is also revealed that each of the villainous team leaders are from alternate universes where they were able to successfully achieve their plans; further cementing the concept of alternate universes. Colress plays a major role in Episode RR by sending all of the villainous leaders back to their original dimensions; when Ghetsis is being confronted, he and Colress recognize each other, despite being from alternate dimensions, showing that Colress had involvements with [[Team Plasma]] in both universes.

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] seems to take place in an alternate universe from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as Team Rocket was never disbanded, and Red and Blue have already defeated the [[Indigo League]] and are now renowned Pokémon Trainers. Because of this, the player characters are now composed of [[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] with Blue's role as rival being replaced by [[Trace (game)|Trace]].

Since Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are remakes of {{game|Yellow}}, characters from the anime like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] make appearances and similar events from the anime occur.
The games seem to occur less than five years before Sun and Moon, as [[Mina]], albeit slightly younger, makes an appearance in [[Vermilion City]]. Despite this, the overall continuity between these games and those that precede them is not clear.

====Trial Captains and Totem Pokémon====
In Sun and Moon, there are seven [[Trial Captain]]s and eight [[Totem Pokémon]], Pokémon which are bigger than the rest of their species and have "auras" that increase one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the beginning of battle.

===Kanto===
[[File:LGPE Kanto Map.png|thumb|250px|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
In its fifth appearance, Kanto appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in a capacity similar to [[Generation I]] and its previous [[remake]]s, {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

====Starter Pokémon====
Unlike in other Pokémon games, the {{pkmn2|starter}} the player starts with corresponds with the game they are playing. Players of Let's Go, Pikachu! will start with {{p|Pikachu}}, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! will start with {{p|Eevee}}.

==Alola thematic motif==
The seventh generation focuses on themes of nature, alternate dimensions, tradition, and relationships. First and foremost, [[Z-Moves]] are said to be the physical manifestation of the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, in a similar vein to [[Mega Evolution]]. The storylines of the Alolan games also focus various characters whose motives and story arcs revolve around family- or relationship-based issues. The Aether Foundation is an organization that wishes to heal and protect Pokémon from threats such as [[Team Skull]] or predatory Pokémon like {{p|Mareanie}}. In fact, the Alolan Pokédex is filled with more examples of Pokémon predator-prey relationships than usual. In an [http://time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview interview] with Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori, {{g|Sun and Moon|s}} were named with the idea of the revolutions of the sun and the moon in mind, and how they influence life on the Earth, as a way to "celebrate life" and express Pokémon as living creatures. In the same interview, they mention the revolutions of the celestial bodies as being an interesting metaphor for relationships.

TechSkylander1518: /* Alchemical symbols? */ new section

==Magearna==
I suppose there's not enough evidence to call Magearna new to Gen VII even though it would make her the Zoroark/Lucario/Mega Mewtwo-esque "preview Pokemon"? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 16:43, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

::The best evidence at the moment is probably that you apparently [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-bank/#pokemon-sun-pokemon-moon can't trade directly] between XY/ORAS and SM. I say "apparently" because they don't explicitly say you can't trade with them (only that you can use Bank to bring XY/ORAS Pokemon into SM), but if you could, then you'd be able to move VC RBY Pokemon to XY/ORAS, but that doesn't seem likely when that same page explicitly says you can't Bank VC RBY Pokemon to XY/ORAS...

== Pokemon No.s ==

What you should add

"Currently there have been 6 Pokemon Revealed, along with the Starter Evolutions and 3rd Legendary, this brings the official number of Pokemon to 734." {{unsigned|Theexploringgamer}}

:I think they are waiting until the rest are revealed. Technically, the starter Evolutions haven't even been revealed yet. Yeah, one can assume that there will be two evolutions per starter, but it is safe to wait until they are officially revealed. Same with the "{{tt|3rd Legendary|the wording of that statement is pretty vague, btw, as there can be multiple Legendaries in a Generation}}". Who knows, as strange as it may sound, there might end up not being a "3rd Legendary", {{tt|people|and I was one of them, honestly, it seemed so obvious that it was gonna happen then}} ''assumed'' that there would be a "[[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|{{tt|Gray|Grey?}} version]]" after Black and White, and a {{tt|"Z version" after X and Y|not talking about a Z version coming out at all, but after X and Y or at least before Gen VII}}. Overall, it is best to just not put assumptions on the pages no matter how obvious they may seem to you, that seems to be the rule, and {{tt|it makes sense|if you ask me}}. Also, please remember to sign your posts before saving them (there is no need to rush, I would hope anyway :P ). ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 17:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
::But then why can't we add the total number of Pokemon including the starter evolutions. They would never make a starter with only a basic and 1st stage. {{unsigned|Theexploringgamer}}
:::There is no need whatsoever for us to make such assumptions. That's not what Bulbapedia is for. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
:::^What [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] said. Which is practically what I said before.

== Additions ==
Well, shouldn't it be noted that the 100% Zygarde will debute in Pokémon Sun and Moon and that is also an addition? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 08:06, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

== Obtaining Pokémon Caught in Previous Generations ==

Would it be worth mentioning that the [[Generation II]] games ([[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal]]) are the only [[Core series]] games that you can't bring forward Pokémon from? [[User:Pokemonred200|Pokemonred200]] ([[User talk:Pokemonred200|talk]]) 20:02, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
:We don't know that for sure yet. I mean, it's pretty likely, but the generation isn't out yet, and they could release Gen II on the VC. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 20:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

==Regional Variants==
No word on the addition of Regional Variants? Fond the name on the International Press site: (http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=2118). Also I'd have expected a page to be made by now, though I suppose we dont know enough. [[User:Smear-Gel|Smear-Gel]] ([[User talk:Smear-Gel|talk]]) 14:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

== update number of revealed pokémon ==

39 should become 41 and 760 should become 762 [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 14:13, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
:Those counts are automated based on the number of articles we have for new Pokémon. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:55, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

:::Now it should be updated again, because there are now 52 of them, excluding [[Ultra Beast|Ultra Beasts]]. [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 16:14, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
::::Please read Pumpkinking's comment, the number corresponds to the amount of pages in the [[:Category:Generation VII Pokémon|category]], it is not manually updated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::Oh, right, I forgot about the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|forms]]... [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 17:08, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

== Feel Free? ==
This article is incomplete and it's yet not updated. Above, you can see the notice "''Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. ''" But how could everyone help, since this article is protected, and the staff doesn't update it? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 16:17, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
:That notice is part of the generic "incomplete" template that is used all across this wiki. Don't take it literally. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

== Advances in gameplay: evolution moves ==

It should be mentioned that in Generation VII moves obtainable upon first evolving in previous generations can now be obtained after evolving at any level. [[User:Xfing|Xfing]] ([[User talk:Xfing|talk]]) 17:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

== Unprotect request ==

Will you please unprotect this page? [[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 23:04, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
: Hi, dude! now you can edit --[[User:HoopsterJohn|HoopsterJohn]] ([[User talk:HoopsterJohn|talk]]) 23:21, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

==Alolan variants==
Would alolan variants count as Generation VII Pokemon? If not then the trivia section could state that Gen 7 is the only generation to not introduce a Pokemon that evolves by stone(if alolan variants count then this would be disproved as Alolan Sandshrew evolves via Ice Stone).

== New species ==

We seriously need to find a different way to word this. The current choice is bound to lead to confusion, and just sounds bad overall. "Secretly coded" is a bad excuse. Everyone knows there are Mythical Pokémon that are not publicly revealed at first. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 23:50, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

::I feel like my choice was just fine. Whether they were available or not or publicly revealed, new Pokémon always made their first appearance in the first games of a generation prior to USUM. I see it has been changed and while I think it is better, I really think we are over complicating it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:12, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
:::I think Tiddlywinks' edit is better than both of ours and does not sacrifice accuracy at all (the trading clause suffices to address them not being coded into earlier games). I think we should stick with what's there now. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:13, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Gonna be picky about this again (sorry), has it been confirmed that they won't be made tradeable to S/M through DLC or similar?--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 15:16, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::DLC/Patching has been an easy option for at least the past generation. I'm not certain whether we've worried about patches previously, but personally, since they've declined some simple patches so far (like adding Origin Pulse to XY so you could trade without having to delete the move, to name one thing), I don't think it's something we should worry about at this point. And if something does happen, we could add in "without patching".
:::::HoennMaster: I think it depends on what you think "in the middle of a generation" is. Because that can very reasonably mean, at any point before the start of the next generation. And new Pokemon have commonly been introduced through the movies before the proper release of the next generation (i.e., "in the middle of a generation"). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:17, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::I'm not saying we should use the phrase "middle of", and I disagree with its usage because of said cases like Munchlax, Zoroark, Gogaat, etc. But saying debuting in a game other than the first two games of a generation seems pretty clear to me. I'm fine with what it was change to, I was just saying at this point we are really nitpicking for no reason. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

== "Further Additions" section ==

Should we start adding the "Further Additions/Additions" section in the page based on what is currently revealed about the new features in USUM?

Here is what I have listed so far. Feel free to add more or change the content. --[[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|'''AwesomeDJ''Pokémon''''']] 15:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

<big>'''Further Additions in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'''</big>
* A new pair of games with a different storyline than the first pair.
* Over 400 new Pokémon from previous generations are found in the Alola region.
* Brand new species of Pokémon are introduced. (could be later changed to 'The addition of ''X'' new Pokémon...' or something)
* The addition of ''X'' new moves.
* The inclusion of the new Poké Ride, Mantine Surf, a new way to travel between islands and perform tricks to earn the highest score in a new minigame.
* The addition of the Alola Photo Club.
* The introduction of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and [[Ultra Megalopolis]].
* The introduction of Team Rainbow Rocket and the return of [[Giovanni]] as its leader and other bosses of previous games.
* The introduction of a new [[battle facility]], the [[Battle Agency]].
* Several new locations where certain Ultra Beasts are found have been added.

:I don't think something like this is necessary until the games have been released. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

== Trivium dispute ==

Taking this to talk to avoid an edit war.

Sumwun attempted to add the following trivium:
* Every new [[evolution]] family in this generation has at least one [[signature move]] or [[signature ability]], if {{a|Beast Boost}} counts as a signature ability.

I reverted, in good faith from my perspective, with the following edit summary: ''"Everything has either X or Y" is an arbitrary Venn diagram, not a triviaworthy note.''

Blueapple128 counter-reverted with the following edit summary: ''It's not "either X or Y", it's "either X1 or X2" since signature moves and signature Abilities are strongly related. Then "Everything has X" becomes trivia-worthy.''

I strongly disagree with this logic; moves and Abilities are fundamentally different things, and having a signature of one has no bearing on whether something is able or likely to have a signature of the other. Beast Boost is ''already'' an extremely dubious inclusion (and I'd like comments on my complaint on that talk page as well, by the way), and by furthermore lumping moves and Abilities together, the note becomes virtually meaningless.

I also didn't have room to write this in my first edit summary, but ''on top of all those problems'', here's an additional one: it's completely arbitrary to group this by evolution family, and it seems like that's just a sneaky way to get around the Pokemon that disqualify the trivium: Litten, Torracat, Pikipek, Trumbeak, Grubbin, Vikavolt, Crabrawler, Rockruff, Fomantis, Bounsweet, Steenee, Type: Null, Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Cosmog, and Cosmoem all lack both. That's 16 of the 86 new Pokemon this generation, or nearly a full 20%. I rest my case. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:18, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
: It shows that Game Freak has attempted to give something unique to every evolution family, so that (at least hypothetically) they all have a battling niche. Then not including NFEs makes sense because in battle, one generally considers fully evolved 'mons only. A counterpart would be like saying "'this evolution family has a unique type combination' is invalid trivia because more than one Pokemon has that type combination so it's not unique anymore". [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 19:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
::We absolutely don't write that an evolution family has a unique type combination ''[later edit to clarify: if they don't all have one]''. We only write about a unique type combination on the pages of the individual members that do have one. Look at, for example, {{p|Diggersby}} versus {{p|Bunnelby}}. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:57, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

::::Yeah, if the whole evolution family has the same unique type combination we mention it. But if some do and some don't (like this signature move/Ability thing), we only list the ones that do, not the ones that don't. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:18, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
:::::The point is that "these two Pokemon are the only ones to have this type combination" is normally invalid since there's more than one, unless both are part of the same evolution family. This means that grouping stuff by evolution family and treating them as one group is allowed and not arbitrary. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 22:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
::::::That's only if they all share the typing. To borrow Pumpkinking's example, Bunnelby doesn't have a unique typing, so it's not grouped with Diggersby for unique typing trivia. Hakamo-o doesn't get Clanging Scales, so it shouldn't be grouped with Kommo-o for signature move trivia.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 22:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
:::::::I feel it is best if this trivia is left out altogether. It lumps two different categories together. It also leaves out that quite a few of the Pokémon do not share the signature move or ability. It lastly does not factor in that some of the signature abilities or moves are possibly abilities or moves that the Pokémon cannot currently legally have. Just my opinion on the matter.

== Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! ==

== Tense error ==

The history section states, "The games will once again take place in Alola, but with a new story and will include Pokémon that cannot be found in Sun and Moon."

== In regards to the the starter Pokémon evolution lines ==

Came across a post detailing Incineroar's belt and "abs" forming an alchemical symbol. Thought it was interesting and made sense considering the inspirations laid down by the first evolutions.

== Green trivia ==

"Generation VII is the first generation to introduce a character from the manga, being Green from the Pokémon Adventures manga series." Should this really be here? Is she really based on the manga, or the supposed female protagonist that the manga Green is based on? -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 06:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
:LGPE and Pokemon Yellow are based on the anime and Green only appeared in the manga up until FRLG. And then she was Leaf, as the playable character, in FRLG.
:Her manga counterpart comes from the original design, but her personality in the game comes from her manga appearance. So, in a technicality, she is the first character from the manga, considering the nature of Yellow and LGPE. But she still physicallyappeared, in a different form and as a different person, in FRLG as Leaf. {{unsigned|Argentarus}}
::Manga and games are not the same medium. Just like how anime and the games aren't the same. In other words, manga Green is ''not'' game Green (the trivia is implying that LGPE Green came straight from the manga).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:52, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

== 89 Pokemon ==

Are we sure it's 89 Pokemon introduced in total, not 88?

151 + 100 + 135 + 107 + 156 + 72 + 88 = 809 (which is Melmetal's Pokedex number). 89 makes one too many.

Melmetal-Rowlet: 809-722 = 87 plus 1 to get the number of Pokemon in the generation = 88.

compare to:
Celebi-Chikorita: 251-152 = 99 plus an extra one to get to the 100 total.

I suspect Zeraora has been counted twice? {{unsigned|Countinggame}}
:I don't think the number 89 is mentioned anywhere on the page... --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 01:05, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
::I think Countinggame could be miscounting. 81+5+2 is 88, not 89.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

== Title Screens ==

I think that the title screen at the top of the page should be Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon, not Let's Go Eevee. When most people think of Gen 7, they think of Alola, not Kanto. Likewise, I think the title screen on Gen 6's page should be X or Y, not Omega Ruby, and Gen 4's should be Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, not HeartGold. [[User:Alolan Ninetales|Alolan Ninetales]] ([[User talk:Alolan Ninetales|talk]]) 16:01, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

:You might have known this, but also worth mentioning is the fact that the infobox picture rotates. So it’s not ''always'' Let’s Go Eevee. Some (most, actually) of the time it will be an “Alola game”.

:Honestly, I feel like the rotation is a flawed system regardless. I wish there was some way to reasonably display all of the Gen 7 games without bloating the infobox. I may experiment with this later. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 14:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

== Alchemical symbols? ==

It seems a little strange to me that the Thematic motif section says so definitively that the starters are based on alchemical symbols. It's even stated as a direct fact- "Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio's designs are based on the alchemical symbols". Not even their species origin is said so definitively, Popplio's page says it "may be based on a sea lion", and Litten's says it "may be based on mackerel tabbies".

The only source provided for the idea that the starters are all based on alchemical symbols is the speculation Argentarus linked in this talk page, and while I see the resemblance to some symbols, a large number of them seem to be quite a stretch. For example, Decidueye's arrows are supposedly the symbol for iron rotated slightly, but that's solely on the basis of the symbol for iron being an arrow. Torracat's bell is supposed to represent gold, because it's a circle with hole in the center- but that's also just how bells on cat collars are typically represented in media. These Pokemon have no other connection to these elements- doesn't it make more sense to believe that these are just due to the fact that arrows and circles are pretty basic shapes? Following this line of reasoning, we could argue that the Voltorb line, a circle with a line in the middle, is also based on the symbol for salt, and that Unown, with its circular eyes with a pupil in the center, are also referencing the symbol for gold. (And, again, if we can't definitely state that a Pokemon whose dex category is "the Sea Lion Pokemon" is based on sea lions, I see no reason why we should be saying that its evolution is definitely based on alchemical symbols for mercury, platinum, and red lead)

In addition, some of the connections made seem to be at odds with the Pokemon's design, or with the origins of the symbols themselves. For example, Litten is supposedly based on sulfur, representing spirit, while Rowlet is based on salt, representing the body. But wouldn't it make more sense to have the Ghost-type Pokemon based on spirit, and the muscular wrestler based on body? And while Argentarus' image states that salt relates to earth, sulfur to fire, and mercury to water, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemical_symbol Wikipedia] says the three primes are a separate concept from the classical elements, which have their own symbols. (I found [https://www.learnreligions.com/alchemical-sulfur-mercury-and-salt-96036 two] [https://ethekarius.wixsite.com/alchemy/3principles other] sites that are similarly different; one says it's a separate concept, and another claims that the three primes are a mixture of the classical elements, not each representing one of them)

The legendary trio also doesn't seem to have any basis for any connection beyond Solgaleo's reference to the alchemical lion. What evidence is there that Necrozma is intended to represent the body, or that Solgaleo is intended to take all the symbolism of the sun representing the soul?

It's worth mentioning, too, that while the concept of Aether does appear in alchemy, it didn't originate there- it goes back as early as Plato and Aristotle, while alchemy didn't appear until the common era. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element) )

I know it makes logical sense to look for other connections to alchemy, given the near-explicit reference in Solgaleo's dex entry, but the current evidence in favor of it seems too much like fan speculation to me. There is no official source information claiming that they were designed with alchemical symbols in mind, and it doesn't connect to the Pokemon's lore at all.

'''Heliolisk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレザード''' ''Elezard'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Clemont Heliolisk collar.png|thumb|250px|left|Heliolisk extending its collar]]
Heliolisk is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yellow lizard. Its head is mostly black with a yellow lower jaw. It has blue eyes with a pointed spike over each. Covering its neck is a black frill with orange spikes around the rim. This frill can be raised to frame its head if needed. Its hands and feet are black with three digits each and there is an orange band with triangular markings around each leg. It has a long, tapering tail that is orange and then black at the tip.

Heliolisk can generate sufficient electricity to power a skyscraper, simply by flaring open its frill. This electric energy can be used to stimulate its muscles, which boosts the strength in its legs. This allows it to sprint a hundred yards in five seconds. Heliolisk and its pre-evolved form {{p|Helioptile}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Parabolic Charge}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==Trivia==
* Heliolisk is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 481.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Heliolisk and its pre-evolved form.
* Heliolisk is the only non-{{type|Grass}} Pokémon to evolve by using a [[Sun Stone]].
* Heliolisk is the only Pokémon to have more than five hangul characters in its Korean name.
* Heliolisk and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon to have three possible {{Abilities}} ({{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, and {{a|Solar Power}}) that gets affected by three different weather conditions ({{weather|rain}}, {{weather|sandstorm}}, and {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, respectively).

===Origin===
Heliolisk is likely based on a {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}, because of its notable ability to expand its frill. With its frill fully expanded, Heliolisk also resembles the {{wp|sun}} itself when viewed from the front; its black coloration may possibly be a reference to {{wp|solar eclipse}}s. It may also be based on the {{wp|spotted salamander}}, a salamander that has the ability to {{wp|photosynthesize}}. Its ability to learn Surf may be a reference to the {{wp|common basilisk}}, a reptile capable of running on water for short distances. Heliolisk's ability to convert solar energy into electricity along with its title as the Generator Pokémon suggest that it may have been inspired by the {{wp|solar power generation system}}. Its French name suggests it may be based on the {{wp|iguana}}. Additionally, it shares few resemblances to the {{wp|leopard gecko}} and the {{wp|Dilophosaurus|Dilophosaurus}} a genus of theropod with two crests on its head, that is commonly yet inaccurately depicted with frill on its neck.

====Name origin====
Heliolisk is a combination of ἥλιος ''{{wp|helios}}'' (Ancient Greek for sun), ''{{wp|basilisk}}'', and possibly ''{{wp|obelisk}}'', an ancient Egyptian monument that represented a ray of sunlight piercing the clouds and hitting the ground at a ninety-degree angle.

Elezard may be a combination of ''{{wp|elekiter}}'', エリマキトカゲ ''erimaki tokage'' (frill-necked lizard), and ''lézard'' (French for lizard).

'''Helioptile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エリキテル''' ''Erikiteru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Heliolisk}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
Helioptile is a bipedal, lizard-like Pokémon. It is primarily pale yellow with black paws and tail tip. The top of its head is also black with a triangular yellow marking on its forehead. It has blue eyes, a slightly pointed head, a tapering tail, and three toes on each foot. On either side of its head hangs a pointed, extension with a yellow tip. These can stiffen and expand into a frill. These frills have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. This allows it to create its own energy and thrive without food in its desert home. Helioptile and its evolved form {{p|Heliolisk}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Parabolic Charge}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Helioptile debuted in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alexa]]. It is Alexa's companion Pokémon and is often seen climbing on her back. Helioptile and {{p|Gogoat}} were the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to appear in an episode of the anime. It has since made further appearances in the {{series2|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''. The Trainer purchased a [[Sun Stone]] in [[Geosenge Town]] to evolve Helioptile into a Heliolisk. This prompted {{an|Clemont}} to reveal that, in the past, he used a Sun Stone to evolve his own {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, which appeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''.

A Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY117|Making Friends and Influencing Villains!]]'', where it was among a group of Pokémon that helped befriend a {{Shiny}} {{p|Phantump}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', and ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''; and in a flashback in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' and ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''. It was a resident of {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab.

Three Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', where they were among the {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being controlled by {{TRT}}.

A Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]''.

A Trainer's Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]''.

Two Helioptile appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', one of which was a resident of the [[Nebel Plateau]].

A Trainer's Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

Two Helioptile appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', each belonging to a different Trainer.

====Trophy information====
''A very timid Pokémon that makes its home in arid deserts. The necktie-like frills on either side of its head can be stretched out to absorb sunlight, which Helioptile then uses to generate electricity. Thanks to this energy source, it can even survive without food. If your phone runs out of battery in the desert, why not ask this guy for help?''

==Trivia==
* Helioptile is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 289.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Helioptile and its evolved form.
* Helioptile is the only non-{{type|Grass}} Pokémon that evolves by using a [[Sun Stone]].
* Helioptile and its evolved form are the only Pokémon to have three possible {{Abilities}} ({{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, and {{a|Solar Power}}) that gets affected by three different weather conditions ({{weather|rain}}, {{weather|sandstorm}}, and {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, respectively).

===Origin===
Helioptile is probably based on {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}s, though its frills also resemble those found on ''{{wp|Phrynocephalus mystaceus|secret toad-headed agama}}''. It may also be based on the {{wp|spotted salamander}}, a salamander that can {{wp|photosynthesize}}. Its ability to learn {{m|Surf}} may be a reference to the {{wp|common basilisk}}, a reptile capable of running on water for short distances. Like what its German name suggests, Helioptile may be based on the {{wp|iguana}} too. Additionally, it shares few resemblances to the {{wp|leopard gecko}}.

====Name origin====
Helioptile is a combination of ἥλιος ''{{wp|helios}}'' (Ancient Greek for sun), ''heliophile'' (organism attracted to large amounts of sunlight), and ''reptile''.

Erikiteru may be a combination of ''{{wp|elekiter}}'', エリマキトカゲ ''erimaki tokage'' (frill-necked lizard), and 照る ''teru'' (to shine).
