'''{{p|Greninja}}''' (Japanese: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a playable Pokémon in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. It was available as part of the base game when it released on July 21, 2021.

It is an Attacker who peppers opposing Pokémon with ranged attacks that reduce their movement speed, then closes in to [[knock out (verb)|Knock Out]] Pokémon with melee attacks. Instead of only having a basic attack and a boosted attack, Greninja has a long range basic attack, a close range basic attack, and boosted versions for each of them.

|}

===Basic Attack===
{{UniteBasicAttack
|role=Attacker
|boostdmg=Atk
|desc=At long range, reduces the cooldown of [[#Move slot 1|Bubble, Water Shuriken, or Surf]]. At close range, deals increased damage the lower the opposing Pokémon's remaining HP is. Becomes a boosted attack with every third attack. As a boosted attack at long range, deals increased damage to opposing Pokémon and decreases their movement speed for a short time. As a boosted attack at close range, deals more damage.

Effect: When no opposing Pokémon is [[Move#Lock-On|locked-onto]], or the opposing Pokémon locked-onto is far away, this is a Ranged basic attack. When close to an opposing Pokémon that it has locked onto, this is a Melee basic attack. A smaller blue circle appears around this Pokémon when it is close to an opposing Pokémon, and this circle indicates the range of the close range basic attack. The boosted attack at close range causes this Pokémon to move forward so as to appear on the other side of the target.

}}

===Move slot 2===
[[File:Substitute UNITE.png|275px|thumb|right|Substitute]]

When that HP runs out or a certain amount of time has passed, the substitute doll vanishes. (It does not drop the Aeos energy it never had.) If a wild Pokémon is currently attacking, and this Pokémon leaves the wild Pokémon's range while leaving the substitute doll within that range, the wild Pokémon will attack the substitute doll instead. It has no further effect on player Pokémon short of being another target that the Lock-On for attacks can detect. (If this Pokémon is not currently targeted by an opponent, the opponent may target the substitute doll instead of this Pokémon depending on their [[Move#Lock-On|Lock-On settings]] and if this Pokémon is still within range of the opponent's attack. The dash of this move may allow this Pokémon to leave the range of the opponent, causing this scenario to occur.)

The copies appear with a blue tint to the user. For opponents, the copies appear identical to the original Pokémon. The copies attack nearby Pokémon, and use [[#Move slot 1|Bubble, Water Shuriken, or Surf]] depending on the move this Pokémon knows. Each copy has its own HP, albeit a low supply, and the copies disappear when either that HP runs out or a certain amount of time has passed. The copies are shown to hold the same amount of Aeos energy as the user had when the move was used, although they do not actually have that Aeos energy.

===Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic===
A Greninja appeared in the "[[Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic]]", partaking in a [[Unite Battle]] on [[Remoat Stadium]] on the purple team. It had no other role than being in the opening, devolving, and running out from the base.

==Trivia==
* [[#Unite Move|Waterburst Shuriken]] may be based on {{m|Water Shuriken}}, particularly how [[Ash's Greninja]] uses the move while in the [[Ash-Greninja]] form.
*Greninja uses water kunai in its boosted attack at close range, like Ash's Greninja does when it uses {{m|Cut}} and in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shroomish}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Breloom is a bipedal, {{wp|mushroom}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some kangaroo and dinosaur-like qualities. Most of its body is green, but its head to its neck and its tail are beige. On top of its head is a green, mushroom-like cap with beige gills underneath and a round, red berry-like growth with a hole in the middle on either side. It has oval, black eyes, a beak-like mouth, and frilled segments around the base of its neck. There are two red claws on each of its hands and feet. At the end of its tail, there are seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores that are horrible to eat.

Breloom can stretch its short arms to deliver fast punches. Additionally, it has light, springy footwork that allows it to get close to opponents. Another way it closes in on opponents is by incapacitating them with spores released from the holes in its cap. Its technique is equal to that of professional boxers. It prefers to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on decomposing trees and plants.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Breloom and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Shroomish}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Poison Heal}} as an Ability.

===Evolution===
Breloom evolves from {{p|Shroomish}}.

A Breloom made a brief appearance in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', under the ownership of {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} Masaharu, who battled {{adv|Emerald}}. However, it was no match for Emerald's {{p|Dusclops}}.

A Breloom appeared in ''[[PS331|The Final Battle IV]]'', where it was one of the Pokémon that helped {{adv|Emerald}} with his disabilities.

The {{OBP|Battle Tower|Generation III}} rented a Breloom, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.

A Breloom appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Battle Frontier===
A Breloom appeared in ''[[CBF2|Aim for the Top!]]''.

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

==Trivia==
* Breloom and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]] in {{m|Spore}} and [[Ability]] in {{a|Effect Spore}}.
*** Breloom has the highest base Speed stat of all Pokémon that can learn Spore, aside from {{p|Toedscruel}}, which is forced to move last when using status moves.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], all of them are amongst the species that yield more {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} than usual upon capture.
* In [[Generation IV]], Breloom can learn {{m|False Swipe}} via breeding, but not via [[TM]].
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Breloom can learn {{m|Toxic}} via the [[Move Reminder]], but not via [[TM]].
* Prior to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Breloom was unable to learn Spore, while its pre-Evolution could.
** It was also unable to learn Spore prior to Version 3.0.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, although a wild {{Tera}} Breloom with this move could be caught in [[West Province (Area Three)]].
* Breloom, {{p|Eelektross}}, {{p|Camerupt}}, and {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Electrode}} are the only Pokémon not compatible with {{g|Sword and Shield}} that are capable of [[Dynamax]]ing, being able to do so in {{g|Masters EX}}.

===Origin===
Breloom seems to be based on a {{wp|mushroom}}, specificially {{wp|agaric}} types. The red nodules on its head resemble the berry-like {{wp|aril}}s on a {{wp|Taxus baccata|yew}} tree. The shape of its head is reminiscent of a ''{{wp|Kasa (hat)|kasa}}'', traditional Japanese hats with wide brims. Some of these hats were worn by monks, samurais, and soldiers, which may explain Breloom's {{t|Fighting}} type. Its body structure resembles a {{wp|kangaroo}}, so its Fighting type and boxing behavior could also be inspired by the {{wp|boxing kangaroo}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|dinosaur}} due to its claws, its dome-shape head resembling that of a {{wp|pachycephalosaurus}}, its club-shaped tail resembling that of an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, and its pre-Evolution {{p|Shroomish}} resembling a {{wp|dinosaur egg}}.

====Name origin====
Breloom may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''mushroom''. It may also incorporate ''brawl''. Incidentally, Breloom is also an anagram of "bloomer".

Kinogassa may be a combination of キノコ ''kinoko'' (mushroom) and 笠 ''{{wp|Kasa (hat)|kasa}}'' (traditional Japanese hat) or 傘 ''kasa'' (umbrella). It may be derived from 衣笠茸 ''kinugasatake'' ({{wp|Phallus indusiatus|bamboo mushroom}}).

List of mutually exclusive Pokémon

2026-03-25T18:53:30Z

TheBestOfAllTime: Changed to the ORAS artwork for the ORAS section.

This is a '''list of mutually exclusive Pokémon''' in the games.

In some cases, there are multiple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} potentially [[Pokémon availability|available]] in a single game, but the {{player}} must choose one of them or otherwise [[Permanently missable Pokémon|can't catch all of them in a single game]]. They include many trios of [[first partner Pokémon]], some [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].
<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>

==In the core series games==
===Generation I===
====Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow====
=====First partner Pokémon and their Evolutions=====
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the [[first partner Pokémon]] and their [[Evolution]]s form a group of nine mutually exclusive Pokémon. For instance, if the player chooses {{p|Bulbasaur}}, then {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} will be unobtainable outside of trades. Once this {{p|Bulbasaur}} evolves into {{p|Ivysaur}}, it will not be possible to obtain any other Bulbasaur in the same game due to the lack of {{pkmn|breeding}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are available without trading. However, they still form three groups of mutually exclusive Pokémon, since it is once again not possible to own multiple evolutionary stages (such as {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and {{p|Charizard}}) at the same time outside of trades.

=====Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan=====
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the player chooses to [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Generation I#Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan|receive]] either {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} from the master of the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The other is available via trades from other [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II|II]] games. It is not possible to own the other Pokémon outside of trades due to the lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} in this generation.

=====Eevee and Eeveelutions=====
In this generation, {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelutions]] form a group of four mutually exclusive Pokémon.

There is a single {{p|Eevee}} available in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. Therefore, outside of trades, Eevee itself becomes unavailable by any means once this one evolves, and it is not possible to own more than one [[Eeveelution]] in the same game. This is a result of the lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} in this generation.

|}

=====Omanyte, Kabuto, and their Evolutions=====
In this generation, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and their Evolutions form a group of four mutually exclusive Pokémon.

The player chooses either the [[Helix Fossil]] or [[Dome Fossil]] at the [[Mt. Moon]], from which {{p|Omanyte}} or {{p|Kabuto}} is revived, respectively. Pokémon from the other, not chosen fossil appears in Pokémon Zoo of [[Fuchsia City]].

It is not possible to own multiple Pokémon stages from the same evolutionary line (such as both {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}}; or both {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}) at the same time outside of trades due to the lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} in this generation.

====The Crown Tundra====
=====Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex's forms=====
In [[The Crown Tundra]], while helping {{p|Calyrex}} find its steed, the player has the choice of growing either an [[Iceroot Carrot]] or a [[Shaderoot Carrot]] to lure it out. This choice determines the identity of Calyrex's steed, either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}}, and the form Calyrex takes when the player ultimately battles it. When Calyrex is caught in its Ice Rider form, they will also catch Glastrier, while they will catch Spectrier with Calyrex if it is in its Shadow Rider form.

=====Regieleki and Regidrago=====
After catching {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, the player may enter the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] in the [[Crown Tundra]], where, depending on how they light the pattern in the center, they will have the chance to battle either {{p|Regieleki}} or {{p|Regidrago}}.

Once the chosen Regi is battled, the lights will be locked to the chosen Regi's pattern, and therefore the other Regi will have to be traded in from another game, and as {{p|Regigigas}} requires Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, and Regidrago, it cannot be caught without either using multiple save files or trading.

When the player starts the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]] for the first time, they will be given their choice of Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Grand Oak]].

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
=====Galarian Slowpoke and its Evolutions =====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} and its evolutions are mutually exclusive without the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.

There is a single Galarian Slowpoke that can be obtained during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission]] 39: "Slowpoke for Slowpoke". Once it evolves, Galarian Slowpoke itself becomes unavailable and it is not possible to own both Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} and Galarian {{p|Slowking}} outside of trades.

In Mega Dimension, Galarian Slowpoke and its evolutions can be encountered in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
=====Eevee and Eeveelutions=====
In this game, {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelutions]] form a group of six mutually exclusive Pokémon.

There is a single {{p|Eevee}} available as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Once it evolves, Eevee itself becomes unavailable and it is not possible to own more than one [[Eeveelution]] outside of trades. This is a result of the lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} in this game.

=====Fire Stone Evolutions=====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there are at most two [[Fire Stone]]s available in the game (excluding any that may be traded in), but three Pokémon that can evolve via Fire Stone: Vulpix, Growlithe, and Eevee. This restricts the player to obtaining at most two of {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Flareon}}.

One Fire Stone is located on the [[S.S. Libra]]. The other is available at Gateon Port, where the player has to choose one of the following mutually-exclusive items: Fire Stone, [[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone]], [[Sun Shard]], [[Moon Shard]]. Selecting the Fire Stone at Gateon Port limits the player's access to the other [[Evolution item]]s, making one of the Fire Stone Evolutions also mutually exclusive with other Evolutions that require these Evolution items if there are not a sufficient number of those items available for the number of Pokémon that can use them to evolve in the game; in particular, while Eevee is the only Pokémon that can evolve using a Thunder Stone, Gateon Port is the only way to obtain the Sun Shard and Moon Shard while the only other Water Stone in the game can be used to evolve a {{p|Shellder}}.

This makes their evolved forms, {{p|Victreebel}} and {{p|Shiftry}}, mutually exclusive. The single Leaf Stone is available at the [[Cipher Lab]].

* The male player is [[Lunick]], and his Partner Pokémon is {{p|Minun}}
* The female player is [[Solana]], and her Partner Pokémon is {{p|Plusle}}

Kanto first partner Pokémon

TheBestOfAllTime: /* Pokémon UNITE */

[[File:Pokémon Timeless Adventure key art.jpg|thumb|300px|Artwork of the Kanto first partner Pokémon with {{p|Pikachu}} for the [[Pokémon_30th_Anniversary#Pokémon_Center_Merchandise|Pokémon Timeless Adventure]] merchandise line]]
The '''Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]]''' are the trio of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—{{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}<ref name="kanto's">[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/power-up-with-the-pin-bags-pokemon-pixel-pin-collector-collection-at-the-pokemon-center Power Up with the Pin Bags: Pokémon Pixel Pin Collector Collection at the Pokémon Center | Pokemon.com] ([https://archive.ph/802uG archived])</ref>—chosen by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at the start of their journey in [[Kanto]]. These are traditionally given out by [[Professor Oak]] and are to be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounters.

In official contexts, the group is referred to descriptively in several ways, including "Kanto first partner Pokémon"<ref>[https://www.pokemoncenter.com/product/741-96162/puma-pokemon-bulbasaur-charmander-squirtle-and-pikachu-puma-white-jersey-t-shirt-adult PUMA × Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle & Pikachu Puma White Jersey T-Shirt - Adult | Pokémon Center Official Site] ([https://archive.ph/YhHjo archived])</ref>, "Kanto's first partner Pokémon"<ref name="kanto's"/>, "first partner Pokémon from the Kanto region"<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/tag-team-generations-premium-collection Pokémon TCG: TAG TEAM Generations Premium Collection | Pokemon.com] ([https://archive.ph/OA08N archived])</ref>, and more. However, there are many places where this group is clearly delineated such that it does not include {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}—who are also first partner Pokémon from Kanto-based games—such as "Pikachu and all three Kanto first partner Pokémon"<ref>[https://www.pokemoncenter.com/product/710-95820/pokemon-center-fossil-kanto-first-partners-black-leather-bronson-card-case Pokémon Center × Fossil: Kanto First Partners Black Leather Bronson Card Case | Pokémon Center Official Site] ([https://archive.ph/RnrU4 archived])</ref> or an explicit list<ref name="kanto's"/>.

{{Main|Saur}}
{{Main|Blue's Charizard}}
{{Main|Blasty}}
{{Main|Salamè}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Professor Oak}} is shown to give Pokémon to Trainers he thinks are especially talented, gifting [[Blue's Charizard|Charmander]] to his grandson {{adv|Blue}} and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to {{adv|Red}}. Professor Oak also possessed a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] that was stolen by {{adv|Green}}.

[[Professor Sycamore]] is also shown to be in possession of the Kanto first partner Pokémon. While Squirtle and Bulbasaur remain under his care, he gave [[Salamè|Charmander]] to {{adv|X}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three first partner Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his first partner Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his first partner instead.

===Pokémon Zensho===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three first partner Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
[[File:Retro Mail.png|thumb|right|Retro Mail]]
* The Kanto first partner Pokémon have several unique distinctions.
** They are the first trio of first partners to have received [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Gigantamax]] forms.
** They can be obtained in the most games of all first partner Pokémon, as they have appeared in 20 [[core series games]] in Japan (19 internationally).
** All of the members appear in more [[regional Pokédex]]es than any other first partner trio: [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Academy]]'s, and [[List of Pokémon by Lumiose Pokédex number|Lumiose]]'s,.
*** The {{p|Charmander}} line also appears by itself in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar]] regional Pokédex, while the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines appear in the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor]] regional Pokédex.
** They are the only ones to have all been owned by both {{Ash}} and one of {{ashfr}} at some point in their evolutionary lines: {{an|May}} owns a {{p|Venusaur}} and a {{p|Wartortle}}, while [[Kiawe]] owns a {{p|Charizard}}.
*** They are also the only full set of first partners that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* In [[Generation III]], the Kanto first partner Pokémon are featured in the background of the [[Retro Mail]].
* Prior to {{game|Yellow}}, individually obtaining all Kanto first partner Pokémon and their evolutionary forms would require nine saved games of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red or Blue]] (Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], or [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]]). This was the largest group of [[List of mutually exclusive Pokémon|mutually exclusive Pokémon]] in the history of the [[core series]] games.
* The Bulbasaur line is the only one of the first partner Pokémon family to have the {{type|Poison}}.
** Additionally, this first partner line is also the only one to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released via a game-key card for the physical version. Futhermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released with a game-key card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a [[Pokédex]] since [[Pokémon Quest]].
** It is also the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a [[regional Pokédex]]-style listing of Pokémon since [[New Pokémon Snap]].
* The title Poco a Pokémon may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon.'' The name Pokopia may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to Ditto) and ''utopia''.

'''Marill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マリル''' ''Maril'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|was]] a pure {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Azurill}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
Marill is a small, blue, bipedal semi-aquatic {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white belly and it has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. Marill's arms and feet are short and possess no visible digits. There is a blue, bubble-like ball at the tip of its zigzagging black tail. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch, and the ball is full of oil that acts as a buoy to help keep Marill afloat. The ball at the tip of its tail can glow when Marill attacks. In the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]'', Marill was shown to be able to bounce on its tail. In the [[TCG]], Marill is [[Marill (HeartGold & SoulSilver 74)|shown]] to rapidly spin its tail, seemingly readying for an attack.

Marill is able to swim in strong water currents without being slowed down by the water's resistance, due to its water-repellent fur. Marill feeds on aquatic plants in addition to fishing for food. When it dives, its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface. It will anchor its tail around a tree when fishing at the edge of a fast-moving stream. Marill never gets cold after swimming in cold water, due to its water-repellent fur drying up quickly the moment it leaves the water. It lives on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], Marill and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Huge Power}} as an [[Ability]].

''This Aqua Mouse Pokémon evolves into Azumarill. The round ball on the end of its tail acts like a flotation device, so it can float safely on the roughest of water conditions. It resides on [[Mt.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Marill appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr 2d 179.png|thumb|Marill's sprite in the Nintendo Space World demo]]
* In an early design for Marill that was used in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Nintendo Space World 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver]], Marill had a pink body instead of blue, and lacked its jagged tail.
* For months prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu" by fans due to its slight resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}.
** It is even referred to as "Pikablu" on Topps' [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]].
* Marill is tied with {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Azurill}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
** In addition, Marill and Azurill both have the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Marill has a higher catch rate than its pre-evolved form Azurill.
* Because {{p|Azurill}}'s gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its Evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill have a one in three chance of [[Evolution|evolving]] into a male Marill prior to [[Generation VI]]. Whether this will happen is determined by its [[personality value]], specifically the last byte. Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this.
* When they have the {{a|Sap Sipper}} Ability, Marill and Azumarill are the only non-{{type|Dragon}} Pokémon that resist or are immune to all three of the [[first partner Pokémon]] types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}).
* Marill's name was originally spelled '''Marril''', as shown in some merchandise for [[M01|the first movie]].

===Origin===
Marill may be based on a combination of a {{wp|mouse}} and a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}. Its body and ears also resemble a {{wp|Properties of water|water molecule}}.

Additionally, Marill may be based on {{wp|water rat}}s, closely related species of {{wp|semiaquatic}} rodents of the superfamily {{wp|Muroidea}} that includes the {{wp|European water vole}}, the {{wp|rakali}} from {{wp|Australia (continent)|Australia}}, the {{wp|Nectomys|South American water rats}}, and the {{wp|Round-tailed muskrat|Florida water rat}}.

Based on Marill's name, {{Shiny}} color scheme, and tail, it may be also based on {{wp|marimo}}, free-floating, spherical balls of algae that are also known as lake balls or moss balls.

====Name origin====
Marill and Maril may be a combination of ''mar'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''sea'') or 丸い ''marui'' (''round'' or ''circular'') or 鞠 ''mari'' (ball), 瑠璃 ''ruri'' ({{wp|lapis lazuli}}), and possibly ''rill'' (a small river or brook) and マリンブルー ''marine blue''.

'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|day]].

Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Lucario''' using the [[Lucarionite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario using its [[aura]] vision to sense aura.]]
[[File:Korrina Mega Lucario Bone Rush.png|thumb|250px|Mega Lucario creating a {{m|Bone Rush|bone staff}}]]
Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly blue and black fur. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resemble shorts. It has a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. [[wp:Digitigrade|It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot.]] It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses; these appendages are very similar in shape and number to the four pink appendages on the head of the Being of Emotion, {{p|Mesprit}}. Lucario can use its powers to create a staff in the form of a bone and use it to fight.

Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, a Lucario can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. However, Lucario sometimes ends up learning information that it would not like to know, causing it to get stressed out easily. It also has the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of {{m|Aura Sphere|explosive spheres of energy}}. Lucario can understand human speech and has been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.

Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice, as it only trusts Trainers with righteous hearts. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon that usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though one {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, although chocolate is not part of its natural diet. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Lucario never lowers its guard, even when sleeping. It is believed Lucario reads the aura of others while asleep similarly to when it is awake.

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

As Mega Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. Mega Lucario's arms appear more muscular and it develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes are now orange-colored. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Lucario</ref>

In [[Kalos]], Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution, until the discovery of Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in [[Hoenn]]. It was the first recorded Mega Evolution to be achieved by [[Mega Stone]]. Mega Lucario's fighting style has been described as heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, awakening its combative instincts and causing it to attack mercilessly against its opponents.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dusty.png|thumb|200px|Dusty's Lucario costume]]
* Because of its debut in {{aniseries|AG}} {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Lucario appears in the original versions of {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Japanese song}} and its English dub counterpart, [[Unbeatable]], alongside {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}, despite not debuting until the following generation.
* Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006, with the announcement of the title of ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, [[Dusty]] wears a Lucario costume.
* {{SSB|Lucario}} is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be playable in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], though many others appear from {{i|Poké Ball}}s.
* Due to Lucario's combination of {{Abilities}}, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} Steadfast only activates if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}, or if the opponent has {{a|Mold Breaker}}.
* Lucario has the fewest [[move]]s of all the [[Pokkén Tournament]] fighters, with a total of four.
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Lucario was voted the most popular [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, receiving 102,259 votes. It was also the second-most popular Pokémon overall.
* Lucario was featured in the eighth episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.

===Origin===
Lucario's appearance is akin to that of an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}} of no discernable kind. Due to its mystical nature, it may be based on the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}} (speculated to be a {{wp|Canis aureus|Golden jackal}} or {{wp|Canis lupaster lupaster|African wolf}}). Anubis's role in {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} was to judge souls based on their purity, which resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. Lucario using a {{m|Bone Rush|bone staff}} in combat may also reference the {{wp|Was-sceptre|''Was''-sceptre}} often seen in depictions of Anubis.

The concept of [[aura]] associated with Lucario seems to closely resemble vital energies such as {{wp|qi}} or {{wp|chakra}}. Lucario's {{t|Fighting}} type likely comes from the fact qi is conceptually present in {{wp|Qi#Martial_arts|many West Asian martial arts}} as {{wp|neijin}} or similar ideas. Lucario's use of a staff may hint at a {{wp|bōjutsu}} practitioner, while the shorts-like fur on its legs may reference the clothing used in {{wp|boxing}}, {{wp|Muay Thai}}, or {{wp|mixed martial art}}s. Considering the possible connection with ancient Egypt through Anubis, Lucario could also be based on an {{wp|Boxing#Ancient_history|Ancient Egypt boxer}}.

The markings on Lucario's face resemble a {{wp|muzzle (mouth guard)|muzzle}} or mask. The four appendages on Lucario's head, together with the shape drawn by its mask (a bisected ring), may suggest inspiration from a {{wp|khakkhara}}, which in popular depictions can respond to spiritual energies similarly to how Lucario's appendages act when it senses aura.

====Name origin====
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of the Japanese transcription of ''{{wp|orichalcum}}'' (a mythical metal) or ''{{wp|oracle}}'' (referring to its supernatural abilities involving [[aura]]). It may also involve λύκος ''lúkos'' (Greek for wolf), and possibly ''luchar'' (Spanish for ''to fight'').

[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a type of [[Form|form change]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]] {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] DLC. During its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, {{pkmn|UNITE}}, and {{pkmn|Champions}}.

There are currently 54 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 57 different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo".

==In the core series games==
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> This is contradicted in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where Mega Evolution and Mega Stones are seen throughout the [[Hoenn]] region. Additionally, [[Sina]], Sycamore's [[professor's assistant|assistant]] who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos,<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref> implying that it does not naturally occur within Alola. [[Occulture]] Magazine and the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]] mention that {{p|Roaring Moon}}, a [[Paradox Pokémon]] that resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}, has a connection to Mega Evolution, suggesting that "this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region." leaving its origins unclear. Mega Evolution is referred to as Evolution beyond Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160225231840/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution (Archived)]</ref> Mega Evolution is said to be an Evolution that surpasses a Pokémon's limit. It is known to be one of the Kalos region's greatest mysteries.

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of natural energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket. [[Mr. Stone]] has stated that Infinity Energy, the same type of energy used to fuel the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago, is actually made of the life energy of Pokémon.<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''[...]And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon...''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the Delta Episode. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as [[Meteor Falls]], where Matt found his. Mega Stones themselves are found spread throughout the Kalos and Hoenn regions. In Hoenn, they begin appearing after events with Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} or Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}. In Kalos, finding Mega Stones is more complex. They begin to appear after the {{player}} had touched the [[Anistar City#Sundial|Anistar sundial]] between [[time|8 and 9PM]] and upgrading their [[Mega Ring]]. Combined with absorbing the energy from either {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, touching the sundial allows them to find buried Mega Stones within the same time period every day as the sundial is emitting light. This sundial is too stated to be over 3,000 years old, and its relationship with the Mega Ring isn't yet understood.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] nor [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Urbain]] and {{ga|Harmony}} battling a Rogue Mega {{p|Dragonite}}]]
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of Mega Power, which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Also unlike in previous games, Mega Evolution does not last until the end of the battle, and is instead on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering orbs of Mega Power. Mega Stones are still mentioned to be held by the affiliated Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Legends: Z-A Official Website]: "''When Trainers have a strong bond with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the Trainer resonates with a Mega Stone held by their Pokémon, allowing Mega Evolution to take place[...]''"</ref> Equipped Mega Stones appear next to the Pokémon's menu sprite when the Pokémon is selected.

Additionally, '''Rogue Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''暴走メガシンカ''') is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the Mega Stone that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon.<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A]." Pokémon.com.</ref> Asked by [[Quasartico Inc.]], [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Players will be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon in [[Pokémon Champions]] through use of the [[Omni Ring]].

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Charizard X Official Artwork.jpg|200px|thumb|Mega Charizard X in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{main|Mega Lucario (UNITE)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon are planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, though it has also been confirmed that Mega Charizard X will also be added on October 24th. Two more Mega-Evolved Pokémon are also planned to release in 2025 by the end of the year.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and either their basic attacks or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon are set to debut in the mobile game [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a subset of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

Later a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}.

The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stone]]s that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. He helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. He was later given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with {{adv|Blaine}}, {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon are set to return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in {{g|X and Y}}, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with eleven), while {{t|Ice}} has the fewest (with two).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon have {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ground}}, or {{t|Poison}} as a primary type.
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Raichu}} are the only Pokémon to have multiple Mega Evolutions, having an X and Y form each. This makes [[Generation I]] the only generation with Pokémon that have more than one Mega Evolution.
** Of them, Raichu is the only one to not have them released in {{g|X and Y}}, not have them be [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and whose types are the same across the three forms.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution have also gained access to other [[form]]s or battle mechanics:
** {{p|Slowbro}} and Raichu are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]]s, is the only Pokémon to have access to Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* {{p|Greninja}} is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution to already have another alternate form that isn't a Gigantamax or regional form, that being Ash-Greninja.
* 47 Mega-Evolved Pokémon retain their original typing upon Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Audino}}, {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and {{p|Sceptile}} become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
** {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Gyarados}} are the only Pokémon to change one of their types, each changing their secondary type.
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon change their primary type.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some {{Abilities}} was affected:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
** {{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
* {{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all obtainable Pokémon, at 230.
* {{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* {{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
* Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
** {{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
** {{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
** {{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
** {{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
** {{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
** {{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
** {{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
** {{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
** {{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated [[Mega Stone]], as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.
* Mega Latias and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-seven Mega Evolutions have yet to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

'''Pokémon Presents''' is a periodical presentation from [[The Pokémon Company]] in which news and updates about the [[Pokémon]] franchise is shared. Originally, news about upcoming events, updates, and games was shared via the {{DL|Wii|Nintendo Channel}} on the [[Wii]] and Nintendo Video on [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In 2011, [[Nintendo]] launched their '''Nintendo Direct''' series, which provides news via pre-recorded video presentations. An offshoot of this focused exclusively on Pokémon, titled '''Pokémon Direct''', began in 2013. Along with occasional live press conferences, this format continued until 2020, when it was replaced by the Pokémon Presents format.

This article lists all of these Pokémon presentations and the major announcements made in each of them.

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

In Generation VII, Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} can {{DL|Bond Phenomenon|transform}} into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja''' after defeating an opponent during [[battle]]. Greninja with Battle Bond is treated as a distinct [[#Form data|form]] in the games' code.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Ash-Greninja transformation is no longer present, and Battle Bond's effect was changed to instead increase Greninja's [[stats]] upon defeating an opponent.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, {{wp|frog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja's movements are swift, rapid and graceful, akin to those of ninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ | Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It uses this speed to confound enemies while slicing them up. It can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of its {{m|Water Shuriken}}, though it has been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] video game series. It can also create shuriken from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can split through metal. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and strong enough to catch and hold an average human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

In [[Generation VI]], {{m|Mat Block}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Water Shuriken}} is its signature move.

===Forms===
[[File:Ash Greninja SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Concept art of Ash-Greninja from Sun/Moon]]
Greninja has an alternate form: Ash-Greninja.

Through a process called the [[Bond Phenomenon]], certain Greninja, such as [[Ash's Greninja]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, can change into an alternate form called Ash-Greninja. In this form, Greninja's skin turns a lighter shade of blue, while its face gains red stripes and its cheeks and side fins turn black, changing shape to resemble {{Ash}}'s hair. Ash-Greninja is always male.

As Ash-Greninja, its speed and power far outpace those of a normal Greninja. Its legs are strengthened, increasing its speed to a point where it becomes highly difficult to see and enabling it to dispatch enemies in a flash. It gains the ability to form even larger {{m|Water Shuriken}}s on its back and launch them in rapid succession. Ash-Greninja is described as a form used in battle in order to break through Greninja's limits.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171023143056mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/</ref>

Ash-Greninja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battle Bond}} as an [[Ability]].

As of Gen IX, Greninja cannot access Ash-Greninja form in mainline games due to the changes in the Battle Bond Ability.{{left clear}}

===Form data===
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the [[core series]] games in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful, having 20 power instead of 15, and will always hit 3 times, instead of varying between 2-5 hits. Ash-Greninja is not possible to obtain in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.

Internally, standard Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, so it is no longer obtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

==Trivia==
* Greninja is the only fully evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has more than two possible {{Abilities}} without having a [[Mega Evolution]], and the only one to have an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Ability.
* Greninja and its pre-Evolutions are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon line to be in the Water 1 Egg Group and only the Water 1 Egg Group.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] vote held by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and {{wp|Google}} in February 2020, Greninja won first place with 140,559 votes and beat {{p|Lucario}} at second place (102,259 votes) and {{p|Mimikyu}} at third (99,077 votes).
* Greninja is the only Pokémon playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] that is unavailable in a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.
** Greninja's appearance in ''Ultimate'' was its only appearance in a Nintendo Switch game until [[Pokémon UNITE]]'s release in 2021.
* Battle Bond Greninja and Ash-Greninja are the only Pokémon to have no viewable [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in {{g|HOME}}'s {{OBP|Pokédex|HOME}}.

===Origin===
Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story ''The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}'' (Japanese: 児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari''), about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the thief or rogue {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which are generally ranged combatants that often rely on speed and stealth, focusing more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in {{aniseries|XY}} and his hair. On its back it wears a {{wp|shuriken}} (ninja star) made out of water.

====Name origin====
Greninja may be a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga may be a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) or 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight, in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

In Generation VII, Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} can {{DL|Bond Phenomenon|transform}} into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja''' after defeating an opponent during [[battle]]. Greninja with Battle Bond is treated as a distinct [[#Form data|form]] in the games' code.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Ash-Greninja transformation is no longer present, and Battle Bond's effect was changed to instead increase Greninja's [[stats]] upon defeating an opponent.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, {{wp|frog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja's movements are swift, rapid and graceful, akin to those of ninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ | Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It uses this speed to confound enemies while slicing them up. It can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of its {{m|Water Shuriken}}, though it has been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] video game series. It can also create shuriken from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can split through metal. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and strong enough to catch and hold an average human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

In [[Generation VI]], {{m|Mat Block}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Water Shuriken}} is its signature move.

===Forms===
[[File:Ash Greninja SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Concept art of Ash-Greninja from Sun/Moon]]
Greninja has an alternate form: Ash-Greninja.

Through a process called the [[Bond Phenomenon]], certain Greninja, such as [[Ash's Greninja]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, can change into an alternate form called Ash-Greninja. In this form, Greninja's skin turns a lighter shade of blue, while its face gains red stripes and its cheeks and side fins turn black, changing shape to resemble {{Ash}}'s hair. Ash-Greninja is always male.

As Ash-Greninja, its speed and power far outpace those of a normal Greninja. Its legs are strengthened, increasing its speed to a point where it becomes highly difficult to see and enabling it to dispatch enemies in a flash. It gains the ability to form even larger {{m|Water Shuriken}}s on its back and launch them in rapid succession. Ash-Greninja is described as a form used in battle in order to break through Greninja's limits.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171023143056mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/</ref>

Ash-Greninja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battle Bond}} as an [[Ability]].

As of Gen IX, Greninja cannot access Ash-Greninja form in mainline games due to the changes in the Battle Bond Ability.{{left clear}}

===Form data===
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the [[core series]] games in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful, having 20 power instead of 15, and will always hit 3 times, instead of varying between 2-5 hits. Ash-Greninja is not possible to obtain in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.

Internally, standard Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, so it is no longer obtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

==Trivia==
* Greninja is the only fully evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has more than two possible {{Abilities}} without having a [[Mega Evolution]], and the only one to have an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Ability.
* Greninja and its pre-Evolutions are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon line to be in the Water 1 Egg Group and only the Water 1 Egg Group.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] vote held by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and {{wp|Google}} in February 2020, Greninja won first place with 140,559 votes and beat {{p|Lucario}} at second place (102,259 votes) and {{p|Mimikyu}} at third (99,077 votes).
* Greninja is the only Pokémon playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] that is unavailable in a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.
** Greninja's appearance in ''Ultimate'' was its only appearance in a Nintendo Switch game until [[Pokémon Unite]]'s release in 2021.
* Battle Bond Greninja and Ash-Greninja are the only Pokémon to have no viewable [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in {{g|HOME}}'s {{OBP|Pokédex|HOME}}.

===Origin===
Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story ''The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}'' (Japanese: 児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari''), about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the thief or rogue {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which are generally ranged combatants that often rely on speed and stealth, focusing more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in {{aniseries|XY}} and his hair. On its back it wears a {{wp|shuriken}} (ninja star) made out of water.

====Name origin====
Greninja may be a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga may be a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) or 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight, in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in the post-game side story with [[Looker]] in [[Lumiose City]]. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss'').

==In the core series games==

[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]

In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}} and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his {{p|Croagunk|only Pokémon}} died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}} and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
{{endspoilers}}

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and [[Blaine]] at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

It was used to attack [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]] at the [[Tower of Mastery]]. It kept Korrina distracted while Essentia talked to Gurkinn. Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.}}

During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and [[Blaine]]. As it battled {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X had his [[Marisso]] smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.}}

'''Synchronize''' (Japanese: '''シンクロ''' ''Synchro'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
When a Pokémon with Synchronize is {{status|burn}}ed, {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}, or {{status|poison}}ed by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the same [[status condition]]. Synchronize will not inflict {{status|confusion}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|freeze}}.

Even if Synchronize would have no effect due to the other Pokémon already having a [[status condition]] or the other Pokémon's [[type]], [[Ability]], or team condition (e.g. {{m|Safeguard}}), it will still activate (revealing it as the Pokémon's Ability), but have no effect. Synchronize can affect a Pokémon behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. Synchronize can be activated by other Pokémon's Abilities, such as {{a|Static}}, but cannot be activated by the [[Toxic Orb]] or [[Flame Orb]].

If a Pokémon with Synchronize has a [[Berry]] that cures the status condition it was just inflicted with, Synchronize will activate before the Berry is eaten.

====Generations III and IV====
When a Pokémon with Synchronize is {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the regular poison condition.

If {{m|Psycho Shift}} is used by a burned, paralyzed, or poisoned Pokémon targeting a Pokémon with Synchronize, Synchronize activates after Psycho Shift cures the user of its status condition. Therefore, Synchronize will inflict the status condition anew in such a case.

If a single move such as {{m|Discharge}} results in a status ailment being given to more than one Pokémon (including as a result of Synchronize itself), Pokémon that receive the status in even-numbered orders (second, and possibly fourth) will not be able to activate Synchronize even if they have that ability.

{{m|Toxic Spikes}} do not activate this Ability unless a Pokémon on the field directly causes a Pokémon with Synchronize to switch in, such as by using the moves {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}.

====Generation V onward====
When a Pokémon with Synchronize is {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will now be inflicted with the bad poison condition, rather than the regular poison condition.

If {{m|Psycho Shift}} is used by a {{status|burn}}ed, {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}, {{status|poison}}ed, or badly poisoned Pokémon targeting a Pokémon with Synchronize, Synchronize now activates before Psycho Shift cures the user of its status condition. Therefore, Synchronize will fail to inflict the status condition anew in such a case.

If multiple Pokémon receive a status from the same move, Synchronize now gets an opportunity to activate for any Pokémon that has it, regardless of what order they received the status in. Synchronize can now cause another Pokémon's Synchronize to activate, but if this happens, the original Pokémon therefore already has a status condition, and it will merely cause an ability message to appear with no other effect.

{{m|Toxic Spikes}} do not activate this Ability, even if another Pokémon forced the Pokémon with this Ability to switch in by using a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}.

In [[SOS Battle]]s, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is in the first slot of the party when the wild Pokémon calls an ally, there is a 50% chance that the called ally will be forced to have the same [[Nature]] as the Pokémon that was originally in the first slot when the battle began (which is not necessarily the Pokémon with Synchronize).

===Outside of battle===
====Generations III-V====
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is in the first slot in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]) when a [[wild Pokémon]] is encountered, there is a 50% chance that the game will force it to have the same [[Nature]] as the Pokémon in the first slot. (Otherwise, the Nature is chosen at random, so the Pokémon still has a 1 in 25 chance of having the same Nature as the lead Pokémon.) This does not apply to [[roaming Pokémon]], Pokémon in the [[Pokéwalker]], or Pokémon in the [[Entree Forest]]. In Emerald, it also does not apply to stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Regirock}} or {{p|Rayquaza}}).

====Generation VI====
From {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) that are in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}} will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability.

====Generation VII====
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} only, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability regardless of [[Egg Group]].

====Generation VIII====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, wild Pokémon are now guaranteed to have the same [[Nature]] as the leading Pokémon (ignoring any [[Mint]]s). This does not apply to static encounter (such as {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Calyrex}} or the [[Legendary giants]]) but applies to [[Wanderer|wandering]] and [[roaming Pokémon]] (such as [[Swords of Justice]] and [[Galarian form|Galarian]] [[Legendary birds]]). Pokémon encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s or obtained as [[gift Pokémon]] are also not affected by Synchronize.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, entering a [[Grand Underground#Pokémon Hideaways|Pokémon Hideaway]] with a lead Pokémon with Synchronize causes all wild Pokémon inside to have the same Nature as the leader.

====Generation IX====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Synchronize no longer has an effect on the [[Nature]] of wild Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], if the user gets inflicted with paralysis, burn, poison or bad poison, it will inflict all adjacent enemies with that status condition (if possible). Bad poison will be transferred as bad poison, unlike in the [[core series]] games prior to Generation V.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Synchronize is {{p|Gardevoir}}'s Ability. When an opponent inflicts movement speed reduction or damage over time on the user, this ability inflicts that same effect on the opponent. It goes on a 9s cooldown after being triggered.

Synchronize is also {{p|Mew}}'s Ability, but has a different effect. Mew's Synchronize increases the movement speed of the user and nearby allied Pokémon by 15% whenever the Pokémon with Synchronize uses a move. This effect lasts for two seconds.

Mega Evolution

2025-03-19T01:13:32Z

TheBestOfAllTime: Removing this because of Z-A and the future side game.

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]] {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, {{pkmn|UNITE}}, and {{pkmn|Champions}}.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "'''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref>

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>Mega Evolution is referred to as Evolution beyond Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160225231840/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution | Mega Evolution (Archived)]</ref> Mega Evolution is said to be an Evolution that surpasses a Pokémon's limit. It is known to be one of the Kalos region's greatest mysteries.

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Players will be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon in [[Pokémon Champions]].

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

==In animation==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
* The first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
* The first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
** The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].

* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution appears in the form of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

In [[Unified Minds]] and [[Cosmic Eclipse]], two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} [[Pokémon-GX]] were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

Mega Evolution Pokémon are set to return in [[Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia (TCG)|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia]] as a subset of [[Pokémon ex (TCG)|Pokémon ex]]. Unlike before, they share the same Evolution Stage as their base form - for example, [[Mega Gardevoir ex (Mega Symphonia 42)|Mega Gardevoir ex]] evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon have [[Fairy (type)|Fairy]], [[Flying (type)|Flying]], [[Ground (type)|Ground]], or [[Poison (type)|Poison]] as a primary type.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
** Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation VI]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
*No Mega-Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
*{{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all obtainable Pokémon, at 230.
*{{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
*{{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
*{{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
*Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
**{{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
**{{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
**{{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
**{{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
**{{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
**{{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
**{{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions have yet to appear in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} bears more resemblance to Mega {{P|Salamence}} rather than Salamence's basic form.
** Additionally, its [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a [[List of cross-generational references|reference]] to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a Trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a Trainer and harmless entries.
* In the animated series, all {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving can do it without the need of a [[Mega Stone]], [[Key Stone]], or {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

2025-02-27T23:35:02Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* Related articles */ ?

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via the various Mystery Gift function to Pokémon games in [[Generation IX]]. A subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.

Events can be distributed to the game in 3 ways: Internet events can be received without the need to input any password or serial code. Serial "codes" are one-time use codes. "Passwords" are codes that can be used by any number of people, but are usually limited to one redemption per save file.

Prior to patch 2.0.1, Pokémon redeemed in Generation IX would always have a secret ID of 0000 (unless they were set to use the receiving player's Trainer ID). Historically, the secret ID was identical to the Wonder Card ID, and the Wonder Card data for Generation IX still defines the secret ID as the Wonder Card ID; however, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} version 1.3.2 and earlier was programmed to nullify this when the Wonder Card ID was equal to the Secret ID.

Some Patches changed how the game reads Wonder Card data, as such a Pokémon redeemed before these patches may have different characteristics than a Pokémon redeemed after these patches:
* Patch 1.2.0 (released February 27, 2023) affected how scale data is read on the Wonder Card, before this patch all Pokémon received through Mystery Gift would have their [[Size and weight variation|scale value]] assigned randomly between 0 and 255 upon redemption. With the Patch Blocks were added to the Wonder Card data to enable the scale value to be fixed, which most events post this patch take advantage of.
* Patch 1.3.0 (released April 20, 2023) affected how nicknames are assigned, prior to the patch, if a specific nickname wasn't defined in the Wonder Card, a Pokémon's nickname would default to the default name of the Pokémon in the language that the player receiving the event is playing in. With this patch, unless defined otherwise in the Wonder Card, a Pokémon's nickname will always default to the Pokémon's name that would be expected based on the origin language of the Pokémon Redeemed (e.g., A Japanese Pikachu on an English save would have a default nickname of "Pikachu" before 1.3.0 and "ピカチュウ" after the patch.).

Because of this invalid character, [[Trade|trading]] this Pokémon triggers the "badword filter"/anti-cheat measures, causing the Trainer name to be overwritten.<ref>https://x.com/mamamia10012/status/1857760946204148010</ref> This effect occurs in {{g|HOME}}, and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, although the result varies:
* If traded in HOME, the resulting name will become "HOME".

* If traded in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, the resulting name will differ depending on the game version and savefile language of the recipient.
** If the recipient game is Brilliant Diamond, the result will be "Diamond" (or the localized equivalent for the given savefile language).
** If the recipient game is Shining Pearl, the result will be "Pearl" (or the localized equivalent for the given savefile language).

===Pokémon Center Birthday Flabébé===
[[File:PC Bday 2022 Promo.jpeg|thumb|250px|Japanese Pokémon Center promotional banner]]
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/10/221007_p01.html This] Flabébé was distributed via [[serial code]] to players of all Generation IX games at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores across Japan and Singapore if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch. The codes were distributed from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023. Players can use these single use codes in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. This Pokémon has Japanese tags unless redeemed in an English game. Flabébé's nickname isn't locked; as such, this can glitch when redeemed on Chinese or Korean save files.

Due to a glitch, if this Flabébé is claimed in a savefile with a language other than English or Japanese, the [[nickname]] becomes locked to its base evolutions name, even if evolved to Floette.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1602862595106607104</ref>

Flabébé's Wonder Card was replaced on February 3, 2023 at approximately 10:30 UTC at the same time as that of the {{DL|List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Flying Terastal Pikachu}}. Unlike Pikachu, when this happened, Flabébé's height and weight values remained unchanged. This was done, due to a change in how patch 1.2.0 handles scale values:<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1642033720067604480]</ref> the old Wonder Card would have locked Flabébé's scale value to 29 had it still been live when patch 1.2.0 launched. With this change, Flabebé's scale value remains randomly generated.

===Flying Terastal Pikachu===
[[File:Terastal Pikachu artwork.png|thumb|250px|Terastallized Pikachu Promotional art]]
[https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/1.html This] {{p|Pikachu}} with a [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera type]] of {{t|Flying}} can be received in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} via [[Mystery Gift]] as an early purchase gift from November 18, 2022 to February 28, 2023. This Pikachu knows the move {{m|Fly}}. Despite the player being its original Trainer, it cannot be nicknamed.

Pikachu redeemed prior to February 3, 2023 could only be male and had both height and weight values fixed at 128; however, the size value, (which determines actual model size and Mini/Jumbo Mark eligibility), was not fixed to any specific value.

On February 3rd at approximately 10:30 UTC, Pikachu's Wonder Card was replaced. Any Pikachu redeemed after this time was no longer gender-locked to be exclusively male, and now had a chance to be female. Additionally, Pikachu redeemed after this point also have both height and weight values of 0 rather than 128. This replacement Wonder Card also mitigated the effect of a change in how patch 1.2.0 handles scale values:<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1642033720067604480]</ref> the old Wonder Card would have locked Pikachu's scale value to 29 for the final day of the distribution had it still been live when patch 1.2.0 launched. With this change, Pikachu's scale value remained randomly generated.

Bond Phenomenon

2025-02-27T05:07:12Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* In the core series games */Greninja wasn’t in Gen 8.

[[File:Ash Greninja Lumiose Conference.png|250px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his {{AP|Greninja}} have perfected the transformation]]
The '''Bond Phenomenon''' (Japanese: '''キズナ{{tt|現象|げんしょう}}''' ''Bond Phenomenon'') is a transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that was introduced in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. It is said to have some connection to the Pokémon's hidden potential, similar to Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion.

Unlike [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], the transformation does not require any specific [[item]]s for either the {{pkmn|Trainer}} or the Pokémon, though in the games it requires the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}}. The only known Pokémon able to undergo this transformation is {{p|Greninja}}, whose {{fd|Greninja|alternate form}} is referred to as '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi Gekkouga''). In this form, its strength increases and it gains the ability to form large {{m|Water Shuriken}}s on its back, which it can use in battle to great effect.

==In the core series games==
{{main|Greninja (Pokémon)#Form data|Greninja (Pokémon) → Form data}}
Bond Phenomenon made its [[core series]] debut in the form of a {{p|Greninja}} that can be transferred to {{g|Sun and Moon}} from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This unique Greninja possesses the {{a|Battle Bond}} [[Ability]], which triggers the transformation into Ash-Greninja after the opposing Pokémon has [[Fainting|fainted]] and increases the [[power]] of {{m|Water Shuriken}} by approximately 33% (or more accurately, by a factor of 5448/4096). In addition, the base Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. As of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Battle Bond no longer transforms Greninja into Ash-Greninja, currently making the form exclusive to [[Generation]]s {{gen|VII}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Bond Phenomenon may be achieved when the [[Friendship|trust]] between a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reaches its maximum. While a Pokémon and Trainer are using this form, the Trainer shares the Pokémon's pain in the same place the Pokémon was dealt [[damage]]. The Trainer can also share the Pokémon's point of view. If the form is not mastered, the Trainer and Pokémon can pass out from exhaustion.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
In ''[[XY99|The Legend of the Ninja Hero! ]]'', a Greninja in its Battle Bond form is shown on a shrine in the [[Ninja Village]].

The Bond Phenomenon makes its first proper appearance in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', in which {{Ash}}'s {{p|Frogadier}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{AP|Greninja}} and assumed the Ash-Greninja form. However, the transformation would not be addressed by name until ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', in which {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, after researching the matter, reported his results to Ash and {{ashfr}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash described that his ability to become one with Greninja felt similar to {{AP|Lucario}}'s [[Aura]]. Flashbacks to scenes that featured Ash-Greninja are changed to feature regular Greninja instead.

Pokémon Presents

TheBestOfAllTime:

[[File:Pokemon Presents logo.png|thumb|Pokémon Presents logo]]
'''Pokémon Presents''' is the current name used for the periodical presentations from [[The Pokémon Company]], in which news and updates about the Pokémon franchise are shared. Originally, news about upcoming events, updates and games was shared via the {{DL|Wii|Nintendo Channel}} on the [[Wii]] and Nintendo Video on [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In 2011, [[Nintendo]] launched their '''Nintendo Direct''' series, which provided news via pre-recorded video presentations. An offshoot of this, titled '''Pokémon Direct''', began in 2013 and along with occasional live press conferences this format continued until 2020, when it was replaced by the Pokémon Presents format.

This article lists all of these Pokémon presentations, and the major announcements made at each of them.

==2013==

On December 29, 2012, a teaser was added to the end of a {{B2W2}} commercial that revealed there would be a special announcement on January 8, 2013. On January 3, 2013, the [[Pokémon.com|international Pokémon websites]] posted a message to return to their respective site on January 8, 2013 for a special announcement.

On January 7, 2013, it was revealed that the announcement would be a special edition of Nintendo Direct, which would be named '''Pokémon Direct''', and that it would be broadcast simultaneously around the world (Japan 8pm JST, {{pmin|United Kingdom}} 11am GMT and {{pmin|United States}} 6am EST).

The Pokémon Direct was presented by [[Satoru Iwata]] who began with [[History of Pokémon|the history of the franchise]] and was concluded with the reveal of [[Generation VI]] with two new games for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], called [[Pokémon X and Y]]. A trailer was shown, introducing the three [[first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Froakie}} and {{p|Fennekin}}, snippets of both overworld and battle gameplay, and ending with the reveal of two legendary Pokémon, later revealed to be named {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, respectively. In addition, Iwata also stated that, for the first time in the franchise's history, the games would be released simultaneously worldwide in October 2013.

The give-away of the main [[Kalos]] first partner Pokémon, on the other hand, was revealed to be made by [[Tierno]], one of the player's friends. The release of two special Pokémon-themed editions of the [[Nintendo 3DS XL]] was announced for both the United States and Europe.

A new Pokémon, {{p|Furfrou}}, was also accidentally revealed for a split second, which is part of 15:18 on the official video from the Nintendo Direct website, and at 15:11 on Nintendo's YouTube upload.

[[File:Trade Evolution.png|thumb|right|200px|Early explanation about trade Evolution (''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 25)]]
'''Trade Evolution'''<ref>"[https://diamondpearl.pokemon.com/en-gb/trainersguide/fundamentals/raising/ Trainers Guide - Alternate Methods of Evolution]." Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl official website.</ref><ref>''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Pokédex]]'', page 402</ref><ref name="GSdex">''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 25</ref> refers to the process of [[Evolution|evolving]] a Pokémon by [[trade|trading]] it to another game. This [[Methods of Evolution|method of Evolution]] was introduced in [[Generation I]]. From [[Generation II]] onwards, several Pokémon evolve when traded with a [[held item]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is not required for trade Evolution.

In some early guidebooks, this has been also referred to as '''Link Trade Evolution''',<ref name="GSdex"/> '''Link-Trade Evolution''',<ref>''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 22</ref> '''Trade Transformation'''<ref>''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 90</ref><ref>''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 22</ref> or, in the case of trading with a held item, '''Item Trade Evolution'''.<ref name="GSdex"/>

This is known as '''Evolution by Transmission''' in the manual of [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].<ref>[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] game manual, section "Get the Evolution Items", page 43 (American version) or page 39 (European version)</ref>

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|Confirm if a Pokémon holding the correct Evolution item evolves when traded from RBY in GSC in the Time Capsule}}

In the [[core series]] games, the Pokémon evolves automatically after being traded. Several Pokémon evolve by trade without any additional requirement, but several other Pokémon need to be [[held item|holding]] a specific [[Evolution item]] in order to evolve. The item is consumed after the Evolution.

The player who received this Pokémon obtains both the unevolved and evolved species as caught in their [[Pokédex]].

It is not possible to press B to [[Evolution prevention|cancel a trade Evolution]], unlike certain other [[methods of Evolution]].

===Trading Pokémon with a held Everstone===
{{main|Everstone}}
If a Pokémon is able to evolve by trade with no held item (such as {{p|Machoke}} into {{p|Machamp}}, or {{p|Haunter}} into {{p|Gengar}}), it will not evolve when traded while holding a [[Everstone]], except in some cases as explained below.

The Everstone is unavailable in several games that lack the [[held item]] feature (namely the [[Generation I]] games, {{LGPE}}, and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}), and it does not prevent trade Evolutions in [[Generation III]] games due to a glitch. In all those games, if a Pokémon is able to evolve by trade with no held item, then there is no way to trade it while keeping it unevolved.

====Generation III trading glitch====
In [[Generation III]] only, trade Evolution is affected by a [[List of glitches in Generation III#Held item loss glitch|glitch]]: if {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, or {{p|Haunter}} are traded while holding any item, including an [[Everstone]], the Pokémon will still evolve, and the item will be consumed.

====Kadabra holding Everstone====
In [[Generation II]] only, the Everstone works normally on {{p|Kadabra}}. If a Kadabra is traded while holding an Everstone, it will be prevented from evolving.

In all other generations, there is no way to trade a Kadabra while keeping it unevolved. When a Kadabra is traded, it inevitably evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} even if it is holding an Everstone.

In addition to the Generation III glitch mentioned above, the Everstone does not work on Kadabra from [[Generation IV]] onwards because this Pokémon is explicitly programmed as an exception.

===Feebas===
{{main|Feebas|section=Evolution data}}
{{p|Feebas}} originally evolved evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when [[level]]ed up with its {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} condition high enough. From [[Generation V]] onwards, it can also evolve when traded while holding a [[Prism Scale]].

===Karrablast and Shelmet===
In the case of {{p|Karrablast}} or {{p|Shelmet}}, they evolve specifically when one is traded by the other. However, if either of those Pokémon is holding an Everstone during this trade, neither will evolve.

===National Pokédex requirement in FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player does not have the [[National Pokédex]], when a Pokémon in the [[Kanto Pokédex]] meets its Evolution conditions but its evolved form is not in the Kanto Pokédex (including trade Evolutions such as {{p|Onix}} into {{p|Steelix}}), it will attempt to evolve but fail.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, uniquely within the [[core series]], trading is not needed to evolve Pokémon that normally require it. Instead, a [[Linking Cord]] can alternatively be used from the player's [[satchel]] to trigger a Pokémon's Evolution. {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item|Pokémon that require a held item to evolve through trade}} will evolve when the item is used from the satchel, as held items do not exist in this game. Consequently, these Pokémon cannot evolve through trade, and the Linking Cord has no effect on them.

===Availability outside of trades===
In some cases, trade Evolution is [[Pokémon availability|available]] outside of trades.

* {{pkmn|Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue (Japanese)}}: Two of the [[in-game trade]]s in this game involve Pokémon that evolve by trading. In one, the player gives away {{p|Kadabra}} and receives {{p|Graveler}}; the other one has them give away {{p|Machoke}} and receive {{p|Haunter}}. The Pokémon they receive this way will thus evolve into {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Gengar}} respectively, allowing them to be registered without linking to another game.
* {{game|Yellow}}: One of the in-game trades in this game allows the player to give away {{p|Cubone}} and receive Machoke in return, which will thus evolve into {{p|Machamp}}.
* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: Wild {{p|Steelix}} can be found directly in the lower floors of [[Iron Island]], without needing to go through Evolution. Additionally, if the player has access to [[dual-slot mode]] with any [[Generation III]] game, wild {{p|Gengar}} can be found in one room of the [[Old Chateau]].
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}: Wild Steelix can be found at [[Mt. Silver]], in the room where {{p|Moltres}} spawns. Alternatively, after the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Jasmine]] can also give out a Steelix in an in-game trade where she will accept any Pokémon in return.
* {{game|Black and White|s}}: {{p|Politoed}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Milotic}} (which has newly become a trade Evolution in this generation, with no means of increasing its Beauty), {{p|Huntail}}, and {{p|Gorebyss}} are all catchable in the wild using the phenomenon of rippling water in various places, though Huntail is version-exclusive to Black while Gorebyss is exclusive to White.
* {{B2W2}}: With the exception of Slowking, the wild trade Evolutions that were available from Black and White's rippling water remain available here, with Huntail and Gorebyss retaining their version exclusivity for players who are unable to trade. In addition, wild {{p|Steelix}} are now available from the phenomenon of dust clouds in [[Clay Tunnel]], and two in-game trades offer trade-Evolution Pokémon directly at their final stage, without registering the pre-evolved form first. One NPC requests {{p|Emolga}} and gives away {{p|Gigalith}} (in Black and White, this same NPC asks for {{p|Boldore}} in a trade and gives away Emolga), while another asks for {{p|Hippowdon}} and gives away {{p|Alakazam}}, though this trade does not become available until the player does a separate trade, as well as a battle, with the same NPC.
* {{g|X and Y}}: {{p|Trevenant}}, {{p|Politoed}}, {{p|Huntail}}, and {{p|Gorebyss}} are all available as wild encounters on their respective routes, and once again Huntail and Gorebyss serve as version counterparts when obtained this way, with Huntail appearing in X and Gorebyss in Y. In addition, an in-game trade is available where the player gives away {{p|Luvdisc}} and receives Steelix.
* {{g|Sun and Moon}}: Wild Gengar, Politoed, and {{p|Trevenant}} have a small chance to appear in [[SOS Battle]]s in which their respective pre-Evolutions call for help, allowing them to be obtained without trading. Wild {{p|Conkeldurr}} can also be found using {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on Mondays, and there is an in-game trade where the player can give away {{p|Haunter}} and receive {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}}, which will thus evolve into {{p|Golem}}.
* {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}: The Gengar, Politoed, and Trevenant helpers are still available here, joined by additional SOS helpers in {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Huntail}}, and {{p|Gorebyss}}. Unlike in previous games, the Huntail and Gorebyss encounters are no longer version-exclusive, but instead depend on whether the battle started during daytime or nighttime according to the in-game clock. No trade Evolutions are available from Island Scan this time, and the NPC who offered the Graveler trade in the previous games now offers a different trade instead, in which both traders give away {{p|Phantump}} -- thus causing both to evolve into Trevenant.
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: With the exceptions of {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, and {{p|Slowking}}, all the Pokémon that appear in these games and that evolve by trading can also be found as wandering Pokémon, in either the [[Wild Area]] or one of its DLC counterparts (the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]), though {{p|Slurpuff}} is version-exclusive to Sword and {{p|Aromatisse}} is exclusive to Shield, and some Pokémon may only appear on days with specific weather conditions. They may also be obtained from [[Max Raid Battle]] dens--prior to the release of the Expansion Pass, {{p|Escavalier}} could not be found as a wanderer and was exclusive to raid dens originating from Sword, while Accelgor was exclusive to raid dens originating from Shield. Finally, while the non-{{rf|Galarian}} form of Slowking is not obtainable in the wild, it has a chance to be found in the [[Max Lair]] during Dynamax Adventures.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: As noted above, the Pokédex in this game was designed to be completed without needing to connect to other players. Pokémon that evolve via trade can therefore be obtained without trading, by using either the Linking Cord item or the item that the species would normally hold during a trade in order to evolve, as though that item were an Evolution stone. These species may also be found in the wild as [[Alpha Pokémon]], or during [[massive mass outbreak]]s or [[space-time distortion]]s.
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: All trade-Evolution Pokémon that exist in these games have a small chance to be found in their fully evolved stage in raid dens for [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as does {{p|Palafin}} which is not a trade Evolution but which does normally require connecting to other players in [[Union Circle]] to evolve. In the case of Pokémon that were first added to the game during the two phases of the Expansion Pass, only raid dens in the appropriate area ([[Kitakami]] or the [[Blueberry Academy]]) have a chance to spawn them. Gengar and {{p|Scizor}} in particular can also be found in the wild in specific DLC areas. Additionally, there is an in-game trade in which the player gives away {{p|Pincurchin}} and receives {{p|Haunter}}; unlike in-game trades in Diamond, Pearl, and their remakes, this Haunter is not holding an [[Everstone]], so it will evolve into Gengar.

==In the side series games==
{{incomplete|section|State whether or not it is possible to stop a trade Evolution by pressing B in the Stadium games, Colosseum, and XD}}

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, Pokémon are able to evolve by trade as in the [[core series]] games. The Pokémon trades are available by using trade machine in the {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}}, where Pokémon are traded between two [[core series]] games using [[Transfer Pak]]s.

The earlier {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} has no trade feature. [[Pokémon Stadium]] is compatible with Generation I Pokémon, which require no held item. [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is compatible with Generation I and II Pokémon, some of which require a held item to evolve.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Pokémon are able to evolve by trade as in the [[core series]] games.

The only trade Evolution available outside of trades in either game is the {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Scizor}} in the Japanese version of Colosseum, which requires the [[e-Reader]] and the [[Pokémon Colosseum Double Battle e]] cards.

===Pokémon HOME===
In [[Pokémon HOME]], trade Evolutions are not triggered by online trades, unlike in the [[core series]] games.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Trade (GO)|section=Trade Evolution}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], this is officially referred to as "trade Evolution". This feature was introduced on January 10, 2020.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/trade-evolution/ Trade Evolution and more Pokémon originally discovered in Unova are here!]</ref> The {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that evolve by trading}} (with no [[held item]]) in the [[core series]] can either evolve in Pokémon GO if the player spends {{OBP|Candy|GO}} or if the player has obtained this Pokémon from a trade. However, only a subset of those Pokémon can currently trade evolve in Pokémon GO.

Unlike in the core series, which requires Pokémon to be at a specific evolutionary stage to evolve via trade, Pokémon in Pokémon GO become eligible for trade Evolution if they were traded at any evolutionary stage prior to their trade Evolution stage. For example, trading a {{p|Gastly}} and then evolving it to {{p|Haunter}} makes it eligible to later evolve into {{p|Gengar}} at no Candy cost.

Notably, no {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item}} in the core series can trade evolve in Pokémon GO. These Pokémon instead require [[List of items in Pokémon GO#Evolution items|Evolution items]] in addition to {{OBP|Candy|GO}} to evolve.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], the Link Cable item is used to [[Evolution (Mystery Dungeon)|evolve]] the Pokémon that would evolve by trade in the core series games. If the Pokémon would evolve by being traded while holding an item, then both the Link and that same item are required to evolve this Pokémon. For instance, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} by using both the Link Cable and the Metal Coat. The items are consumed during the Evolution.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], the evolutionary items (including the Link Cable and the other items that are specific to each Pokémon such as the King's Rock or the Dragon Scale) are replaced by the Evolution Crystal item instead.

===Pokémon Sleep===
{{main|Linking Cord|section=Pokémon Sleep}}
In [[Pokémon Sleep]], the [[Linking Cord]] item and certain amounts of {{OBP|candy|Sleep}} are required to evolve the available Pokémon that would normally evolve by trade in the [[core series]] games. This item and the candy are consumed upon use.

===e-Reader games===
In [[Machop At Work]], if the player character {{p|Machop}} manages to smash all 100 rocks, it evolves into {{p|Machoke}}, and then again into {{p|Machamp}}. Although Machoke evolves into Machamp by trade in the [[core series]] games, it appears to evolve simply as a result of smashing rocks in this spin-off game.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, trade Evolutions do not require that a Pokémon be traded between different Trainers to evolve. For instance, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item}} will evolve upon transfer between [[Pokémon Center]]s while holding the correct [[Evolution item]], as seen in the {{aniseries|GS|''Gold and Silver''}} episode ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'' with [[Misty's Politoed|Misty's Poliwhirl]] and in the {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire''}} episode ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' with [[Nancy]] and {{OBP|Keith|AG095}}'s {{p|Clamperl}}. In the {{aniseries|JN|''Pokémon Journeys''}} episode ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry]]'', [[Goh]]'s {{p|Scyther}} evolved into {{TP|Goh|Scizor}} after being transferred through a [[trade machine]] while holding a [[Metal Coat]], without leaving Goh's ownership at any point.

==Trivia==
* All trade Evolutions introduced in Generation {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} are [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] (evolving Pokémon introduced in earlier generations).
* {{p|Porygon}} is the only Pokémon to evolve twice via [[trade|trading]]. Both Evolutions require a held item, namely the [[Upgrade]] and [[Dubious Disc]].
** {{p|Porygon2}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved from trading that can evolve further.
* The {{p|Clamperl}} line is the only branched Evolution in which both Evolutions are achieved by trading.
* {{p|Feebas}} evolving into {{p|Milotic}} is the only case where a non-trade Evolution later gained a trade Evolution into the same Pokémon species.
* {{p|Trevenant}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved from trading that can also be found as a [[wild Pokémon]] in the same games where it was introduced.
* Since [[Generation VII]], no new Pokémon that evolve by trade have been introduced, other than a [[regional form]].
** {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Graveler}} is the only regional form with a trade Evolution.

===Held items===
* Out of all items used to evolve Pokémon by trade, [[King's Rock]] and [[Metal Coat]] are the only ones usable by two Pokémon species each, with all other items being exclusively used by a single Pokémon each.
* Several items introduced between Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} can not only trigger an Evolution when [[held item|held]] by a traded Pokémon but also have other unrelated uses when held by Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}. Other held items introduced from [[Generation V]] onwards are exclusively used for trade Evolutions.
** In [[Generation II]], the [[Upgrade]] was the only item with no other use than triggering a trade Evolution, while the [[Dragon Scale]], [[King's Rock]], and [[Metal Coat]] also had some in-battle effects unrelated to Evolution. However, Dragon Scale actually had the in-battle effect intended for [[Dragon Fang]] as the result of [[List of battle glitches in Generation II#Dragon Fang effect|an oversight]]. This was fixed from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] onwards, rendering the Dragon Scale with no effect other than being used for Evolution.

Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon

2025-02-15T14:40:52Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* In the core series games */ Why is Heatran in the Gen 6 section?

The '''population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon''' refers to how many individuals of each [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] or [[Mythical Pokémon]] species are known to live in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the core series games==
The Legendary Pokémon can usually be obtained at most once per save file, and the Mythical Pokémon are usually available once per {{pkmn2|event}}, although it is still possible to obtain multiple Pokémon from [[trade]]s between between games. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary or Mythical Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, such as in [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] or in character dialogue, even though they may not be available to the player. Sometimes, multiple Pokémon seem to be present by comparing multiple games in the [[History of the Pokémon world|timeline]]. In some cases, a Pokémon is used by someone else in [[battle facility|battle facilities]], while the same species may also be available to the player in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

===Generation I Pokémon===
====Legendary birds====
* In [[Pokemon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], 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 {{game|Emerald}}, [[Brandon]] has the three [[legendary birds]], which are also be available during the same time period as [[wild Pokémon]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** Three years later, in {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], [[Dahlia]] has {{p|Zapdos}} while the three legendary birds are found as wild Pokémon in Kanto and Sinnoh.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Dana]] has the three legendary birds while one of them is also available to the player as a wild Pokémon.
* In {{LGPE}}, the legendary birds are rare spawns, which allows the player to encounter and catch multiple of each in a single save file.
* 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.

===Generation II Pokémon===
====Legendary beasts====
* The Pokédex says about {{p|Entei}}: "''It is said that one is born every time a new volcano appears.''"
* In [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Spenser]] has a {{p|Suicune}} while [[Anabel]] has a {{p|Raikou}}, which may also be available during the same time period as [[wild Pokémon]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Darach]] has {{p|Entei}} which is also available to the player as a wild Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Evelyn]] has the [[legendary beasts]] {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}}, which are also available to the player in [[Mirage spot]]s.

===Generation III Pokémon===
====Legendary giants====
* The [[legendary giants]] {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} are located in several regions, including [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Galar]].
** In [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Brandon]] has the three legendary giants while they are also available to the player as [[wild Pokémon]].
** In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Dana]] has the three legendary giants while they are also available to the player as wild Pokémon.

====Eon duo====
* The Pokédex says about {{p|Latias}}: "''They make a small herd of only several members.''"
* In {{game|Emerald}}, [[Tucker]] has a {{p|Latias}} and [[Anabel]] has a {{p|Latios}}, which are also available to the player as [[wild Pokémon]].
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Evelyn]] has a Latios and [[Morgan]] has a Latias. Meanwhile, the player receives a Latias in Omega Ruby or a Latios in Alpha Sapphire.

===Generation IV Pokémon===
* In the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, [[Palmer]] has {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}, which are also available to the player as [[wild Pokémon]].
* It is possible to acquire multiple {{p|Phione}} {{pkmn|Egg}}s by {{pkmn|breeding}} {{p|Manaphy}} or Phione with {{p|Ditto}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, three Phione are found in [[Seaside Hollow]], and more can be found after Manaphy is caught there.
* {{p|Heatran}} can be of either gender, which may imply the existence of at least two individuals of their species.

====Pokémon of Myth====
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the [[Pokémon of Myth]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} are treated as unique Pokémon who were created by {{p|Arceus}} at the beginning of the universe. However, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is also possible to acquire a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.

===Generation V Pokémon===
====Forces of nature====
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Nita]] has the [[forces of nature]] {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, which are also available to the player in [[Mirage spot]]s.

====Swords of Justice====
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[Morgan]] has the [[Swords of Justice]] {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, which are also available to the player in Mirage spots.
* 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.

===Generation VII Pokémon===
* Prior to {{game|Sun and Moon|s|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{game|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|s|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, three {{p|Type: Null}}/{{p|Silvally}} were confirmed to have been created in [[Alola]] by the [[Aether Foundation]]: [[Gladion's Silvally|one]] is owned by [[Gladion]], and [[Gladion#Given to the player|another]] was given to {{ga|Elio}}/{{ga|Selene}} by Gladion. The whereabouts of the [[Lusamine#Kept frozen|third Type: Null]] are unknown. In {{game|Sword and Shield|s}}, [[Battle Tower#Pokémon|a fourth individual]] was created in [[Galar]] by [[Macro Cosmos]] using notes stolen from the Aether Foundation.
* {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are capable of together creating a {{p|Cosmog}} supposedly as their unique way of breeding but it appears they're rarely seen in the same [[Pokémon universe|universe]] at the same time, making this a rare event. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, two Cosmog were confirmed to exist, one stolen from [[Aether Paradise]] by [[Lillie]], nicknamed [[Nebby]], [[Lake of the Sunne#Pokémon|another]] [[Lake of the Moone#Pokémon|one]] created by Nebby and a Lunala{{sup/7|S}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|M}} found in another universe's [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|M}}. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, a third individual is found by an old lady in [[Freezington]] in the [[Crown Tundra]], nicknaming it, [[Freezington#Pokémon|Fwoofy]].
* The Pokédex states that {{p|Meltan}} live in groups, and that at the end of {{p|Melmetal}}'s lifespan, the small shards it leaves behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan. Additionally, multiple Meltan are seen together in promotional videos.

===Generation VIII Pokémon===
====Kubfu and Urshifu====
* {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}} can be of either gender, which may imply the existence of at least two individuals of their species.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]], the player receives a Kubfu, while [[Mustard]] also has one. Mustard's Kubfu will evolve into an Urshifu of the form corresponding to the [[Towers of Two Fists|tower]] not chosen by the player.

====Zarude====
* {{p|Zarude}} lives deep within dense forests in a pack with others of its kind.

===Generation IX Pokémon===
====Paradox duo====
* In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} built a "[[time machine]]" and used it to bring two {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} to [[Area Zero]]. The {{ga|Koraidon|first}} {{ga|Miraidon|one}} is quirky and friendly and the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|second one]] is adamant{{sup/9|S}}/modest{{sup/9|V}} and territorial, leading them to become rivals.

====Terapagos====
* {{p|Terapagos}} can be of either gender, which may imply the existence of at least two individuals of their species.
* In [[The Indigo Disk]], the player finds {{ga|Terapagos|a Terapagos}} in [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and even though Terapagos can be of either gender, the only obtainable one is a Hardy male and is said to be last of its kind, implying that in the past, female Terapagos existed, but are now extinct.
* The Pokédex says about [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Terapagos|Normal Forme]] {{p|Terapagos}}: "''It’s thought that this Pokémon lived in ancient Paldea until it got caught in seismic shifts and went extinct.''"

===Pokémon from multiple generations===
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], several Legendary Pokémon from Generations I to V can be encountered from portals accessible through the [[Mirage spot]]s.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the several Legendary Pokémon are used by Trainers in the [[Battle Tree]].
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], several Legendary Pokémon from Generations I to VI can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]].
* In the [[Crown Tundra]], several Legendary Pokémon from Generations I to VII can be encountered multiple times in [[Dynamax Adventures]]. However, the player can only catch one of each.
* In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], several Legendary Pokémon from Generations I to III can be encountered in [[Ramanas Park]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Snap===
In [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} hatch from [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]], which may imply the existence of multiple of each species. Although {{pkmn|breeding}} these species is not possible in the [[core series]] games because they are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]], Pokémon Snap predates the introduction of the breeding mechanic in the core series games.

The Eggs of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are respectively found in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}}, [[Tunnel]], and {{OBP|Volcano|Snap}} areas. The origin of these Eggs is not explained and no more than a single legendary bird is seen per trip. However, if the player returns multiple times to the same area, all Pokémon animations are reset at the start of each trip and therefore it is possible to see the legendary birds hatching from the Eggs multiple times over the course of the same playthrough.

{{p|Mew}} appears to be unique as a single Mew is found in [[Rainbow Cloud]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} is not seen except as the {{DL|Pokémon sign|Mewtwo Constellation}} formed by crystals in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}}.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], it is possible to catch multiple of each Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in a single playthrough.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], most of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon available in each game are unique. However, in addition to the regular {{p|Celebi}}, there is also a [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Shiny Celebi]].

===Pokkén Tournament===
In [[Pokkén Tournament]], both players can use the same Pokémon species with alternate color palettes. Therefore, two of each Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are available as fighters, including: {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, [[Shadow Mewtwo]], {{pokken|Suicune}}, and the Switch and Arcade versions also include {{pokken|Darkrai}}.

Both players are also allowed to bring the same Supporter Pokémon to the battle. As a result, two of each Legendary or Mythical Pokémon are available as Supporters: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and the Switch version also includes Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Mew}}, and {{p|Celebi}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
In [[Pokémon UNITE]], it is not possible to use the same [[Unite license]] multiple times or [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|both]] [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mewtwo]] Unite licenses in the same team. However, it is possible for both teams to have the same Legendary or Mythical Pokémon.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], {{p|Mewtwo}} appears to be unique. This is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] seen in-game.

===Pokémon Team Turbo===
In [[Pokémon Team Turbo]], there are 25 Pokémon species available as [[player character]]s in the [[racing]] games. They all appear to be unique, with no more than a single Pokémon of each species competing in the races. This includes three Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}) and one Mythical Pokémon ({{p|Deoxys}}).

===Pokémon Battle Chess===
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess]], {{p|Victini}} hatches from a {{pkmn|Egg}}. This may imply the existence of multiple of its species, even though {{pkmn|breeding}} Victini is not possible in the [[core series]] games because it is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]].

===Pokémon Party mini===
In [[Pokémon Party mini]], there is no Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in the main gameplay, but a {{p|Celebi}} is seen in the Celebi's Clock feature.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the deck includes a single card for each available Legendary Pokémon. Specifically, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

===Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure===
In [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]], the available Legendary and Mythical Pokémon appear as bosses at the end of certain routes: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Groudon}} (in addition to {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Zoroark}} as bosses in other routes).

Although each boss Pokémon appears only once over the course of the game, it is possible to catch multiple of them in the same playthrough by finishing the same route multiple times.

===Spin-off games with no Legendary or Mythical Pokémon===
There are several spin-off Pokémon games with no known Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. This includes [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], [[Pokémon Dash]], [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], [[Pokémon Tug of War Tournament: Absolutely Get Medal!]], [[Pokémon Tower Battle]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], the Perdue series games ([[Pokémon Team Rocket Blast Off]], [[Pokémon Poké Ball Launcher]], and [[Pokémon Seek & Find]]), all the [[e-Reader]] games, and most of the [[Pokémon.com online games]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
{{incomplete|section|Can multiple instances of the same Legendary or Mythical appear at the same time from multiple Poké Balls or Master Balls? Can a Poké Ball and a Master Ball be used at the same time, releasing two instances of the same Pokémon?}}
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], {{SSB|Mewtwo}} is the only Legendary Pokémon available as a fighter. According to Mewtwo's trophy descriptions and the character dialogue concerning the origin of Mewtwo, it is implied that both Mew and Mewtwo are unique Pokémon. However, Mewtwo has four or eight alternate color schemes depending on the game.

In this game series, any of the available fighters can appear as multiple instances in the same battle. For instance, eight Mewtwo with alternative color schemes are able to fight at the same time in the 8-Player Smash mode.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, there are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]].

Typically, when a new species of Legendary or Mythical Pokémon is introduced in the series, it is implied to be a unique Pokémon, but additional Pokémon of the same species may separately be introduced in later episodes.

====Same-species Pokémon seen together====
[[File:Meltan anime.png|thumb|250px|Meltan in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
Occasionally, multiple Legendary or Mythical Pokémon of the same species are seen together:
* In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', an [[Lugia (Silver's parent)|adult Lugia]] is the parent of the baby Lugia named {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}.
* In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', the Japanese-only introduction displays several {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. In the end of the movie, two Latios are seen flying with one Latias.
* In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', two {{p|Deoxys}} are seen.
* In ''[[XYS04|Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', there is a [[Zygarde Core]] and multiple [[Zygarde Cell]]s.
* In {{aniseries|XY}}, the Zygarde Cores [[Squishy]] and [[Z2]] are seen together.
* In {{aniseries|SM}}, multiple {{p|Meltan}} have made a number of appearances.
* In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', three {{p|Shaymin}} appeared in their Sky Formes in addition to [[Mallow's Shaymin]].
* In ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'', a pair of {{p|Celebi}} appear, one of whom being Shiny.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], most of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon appear to be unique, with the exception of two {{p|Deoxys}} referred to as Organism No. 1 and Organism No. 2, the [[Legendary birds]] due to their [[Galarian form|Galarian forms]], and the original [[Legendary giants]] which exist in both [[Hoenn]] and [[Galar]].

==In the books==
===''Let's Find Pokémon!''===
In the ''[[Let's Find Pokémon!]]'' book series, each species of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon is usually seen in several locations. However, there are no known instances of multiple Pokémon of the same species appearing at the same place, which may suggest that they are all unique Pokémon nonetheless.

===''Pokémon Tales''===
In ''[[PBM1|I'm Not Pikachu!]]'', several children are transformed into {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} (as well as {{p|Pikachu}}) as a result of watching a Pokémon movie implied to be ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]''.

In ''[[PB42|Meet Mew!]]'', there is a group of six Mew, with one of them being a darker shade of pink.

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], there are several cards with the same species, including Legendary and Mythical Pokémon cards, but with different characteristics such as their HP, attacks, level, and type. There are also card variations such as {{TCG|Rayquaza}}, {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza-EX|85}}, {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Rayquaza-GX|109}}, {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Rayquaza V|110}}, {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Rayquaza δ|13}}, and {{TCG ID|Shining Legends|Shining Rayquaza|56}}.

In a [[deck]], the [[deck#Deck building|four-card limit]] applies to the Pokémon cards with the same name. For instance, the player can have up to four {{TCG|Mew}} and up to four {{TCG ID|PLAY Promo|Mew ex|7}} cards in the same deck.

Appendix:Fan terminology

2025-01-29T18:24:21Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* Electric rodents */ The image feels redundant since it has its own page

{| style="float:right"
| __TOC__
|}

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves. However, some terms originally coined by the {{pkmn|fandom}} have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Counterparts===
A set of two [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and their evolutionary families, each found in a different game, sometimes referred to as '''parallels'''. These counterparts may be identified by commonalities such as typing, [[base stats]], evolution method, and the locations where these Pokémon may be found. The term may also be used to describe Pokémon that are more common in one game version than another, as well as Pokémon that are only exclusive in a single pair of games.

===Convergent form/Convergent Pokémon===
{{main|Ecologically similar Pokémon}}
Fan terms for Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles previously introduced [[regional form]]s.

===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into:
* Early-route Pokémon that are based on vermin that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types: {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Lechonk}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}};
* Early-route {{type|Flying}} bird Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Squawkabilly}}, and {{p|Wattrel}};
* Early-route {{type|Bug}}s: {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, {{p|Blipbug}}, {{p|Tarountula}}, and {{p|Nymble}}.

===Electric rodents===
{{main|Electric rodents}}
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Pichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, and {{p|Pawmot}}. Design-wise, all of them have electric sacs on their cheeks. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group''.
{{left clear}}

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of them are based on monkeys and have different types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively). They also share resemblance to [[first partner Pokémon]].

===Game mascot===
{{main|Game mascot}}
A Pokémon that appears on the boxart of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the [[core series]]. If it is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is also referred to as a '''box art legendary'''.

===''Kasekimera''===
{{main|Fossil#Generation VIII|Fossil → Generation VIII}}
(Japanese: '''カセキメラ''' ''Kasekimera'') is used within the Japanese fandom to collectively refer to Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]]: {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. The term is derived from the Japanese word 化石 ''kaseki'' (fossil) and the English word ''{{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}}''.

</div>
A list in the data since {{g|Sun and Moon}}, named "sublegend" in the game code, grouped the [[Ultra Beast]]s with all of the sub-Legendary Pokémon, despite them not being Legendary Pokémon. This grouping continued until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which Ultra Beasts are no longer grouped under this "sublegend" list.

Legendary Pokémon that are not sub-Legendary Pokémon are officially known as [[Special Pokémon]].

===Type triangle===
A trio of types where one beats another and loses to another, such as {{t|Water}}-{{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}} or {{t|Dark}}-{{t|Fighting}}-{{t|Psychic}}, notably used for [[first partner Pokémon]]. Both the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types can create type triangles by themselves only. {{t|Normal}}-type is the only type that isn't super effective against any type, but weak against the Fighting type. All single type triangles go as follows:

==Fan terms==

===Dexit===
A term referring to {{DL|Pokémon controversies|Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex|the controversy}} surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Derives from a portmanteau of "[[Pokédex]]" and "{{wp|Brexit}}", a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens concerning whether the UK (which is the basis of Galar, the setting of Sword and Shield) should leave the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on said franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

===Pokégirl===
A term used to refer to any female character in the Pokémon franchise. Derives from a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "girl".

===Zero Crew===
Zero Crew, or sometimes Zerocrew, is the colloquial term given to the friend group consisting of [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. The term derives from the fact that all three officially met each other in [[Area Zero]].

==Game terms==
===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Villainous team|Team]] leaders: the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) include villainous teams who the player will frequently cross paths with. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these teams and ultimately their leader.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** [[Legendary Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle, unless the player has a [[Master Ball]]. Legendary Pokémon are hard to fight because of their generally large base stats. {{p|Eternatus|Eternamax Eternatus}}, fits the traditional "boss" terminology, as it has the highest base stats out of any Pokémon and is not obtainable in battle.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game.
** [[Noble Pokémon]], Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, and {{ga|Arceus}} are encountered in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing {{cat|balms}} at them (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier), this acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
** [[Titan Pokémon]], [[Starmobile]]s, {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, {{p|Terapagos}} and {{p|Pecharunt}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games and in most cases, also possess a title right after their name, such as "Terapagos, the Indigo Disk".
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{OBP|Colosseum|Pokétopia}}s in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* Spin-offs
**The {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]
**{{g|Magikarp Jump}} uses the term "boss" to refer one in every five opponents.

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item obtained through normal gameplay, without any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM.
Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|RNG Abuse}}, or via bugs that the player would run into naturally during normal gameplay, (Gen 3's [[List of glitches in Generation III#Roaming Pok.C3.A9mon IV bug|Roamer IV bug]] for example), are still typically considered legitimate as the game would generate those Pokémon within the bounds of what was possible to obtain naturally, in an unmodified instance of the game.
*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized.
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[GameFreak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players, and later patched the game to allow Female Indeedee to learn Trick Room via [[TM]]. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump.
*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon.
**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions.

=====Illegitimate=====
A Pokémon or item obtained via [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item generated via any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM, or with the use of intentional glitches to drastically alter the game into a state where it produces Pokémon or items in a way it would never be able to during the course of normal gameplay.
* This term may also be used to refer to {{pkmn2|event}} Pokémon generated outside of their typical distribution periods or methods via glitches, [[Arbitrary code execution]], [[Wonder Card]] injection, or other exploits such as the [https://pkmnclassic.net/ DNS Exploit].
**Contrary to the above, several event Pokémon are programmed as in-game static encounters or {{pkmn2|gift}}s accessible via activating an in-game event or event-exclusive location (such as [[Birth Island]]'s {{p|Deoxys}} or [[Faraway Island]]'s {{p|Mew}}), rather than generated directly by a Wonder Card. It could be argued that if an encounter is accessed via warp glitches, (on a game version/language the {{tt|encounter was legitimately obtainable in|This does not apply to events that were programmed into the game, but were never distributed, such Arceus event in the Hall of Origin in Pokémon Platinum, as those will always be Illegal and Illegitimate if accessed via any method}}, i.e. Faraway Island's Mew is only legitimately accessible on Japanese language copies of Pokémon Emerald, accessing it on an English copy of Emerald would result in an [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]] Mew), that since the encounter itself is unmodified and available in the base game, the Pokémon itself could be considered both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]] {{tt|even if the savefile itself is in an unnatural state.|This is disputed within the community, as some consider any Pokémon encountered on a savefile in an unnatural state to be Illegitimate, judging the legitimacy of the state of the savefile rather than judging the legitimacy of individual Pokémon contained within.}}
* Illegitimate Pokémon and items are not limited to just those produced via cheating using third party tools, as Pokémon or items generated directly via [[cloning glitches]] or Arbitrary code execution would still fall into this category, even if the result would be considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]].

=====Legal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is possible to achieve through normal gameplay. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, one could obtain this Pokémon in its current state without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use.
*Note that this is not inherently the same as [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]]. While most Legitimate Pokémon are also Legal, this term only refers to the current state of the Pokémon and whether it could be theoretically obtained in that state through normal gameplay. A Pokémon may still be Legal even if it was obtained through the use of third party modifications, cheats, glitches, etc.

=====Illegal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is typically impossible to achieve through normal gameplay, and/or is disallowed by [[The Pokémon Company]]. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, this Pokémon has at least one value that could only be obtained via [[cheating]], intentional [[glitch]] use, or via an oversight by the developers of the game that permitted it to be obtained.
* Note that a Pokémon can still be illegal even if permitted to be used online, having not been detected by the server's [[Cheating#Cheat_prevention_in_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_games|anti-cheat detection]], as the term refers to the Pokémon itself being in an unobtainable state, not necessarily whether it is detected by the game's anti-cheat.
**{{Shiny}} {{p|Keldeo}} is an example of a Pokémon that is illegal but remains usable online. To date, it has never been obtainable in-game, nor distributed as an [[event Pokémon]] in its Shiny form. Despite being a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Shiny-locked|Shiny-locked]] species, Shiny Keldeo is not detected by any anti-cheat in Generations {{gen|V}} through {{gen|IX}}, nor {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}.
* It is also possible for illegal Pokémon or items to be obtained, or even generated by players who are not [[cheating]], having only interacted with the game via legitimate means, as a result of interference by other cheating players.
** One such instance would be [[breeding]] using a parent Pokémon that has an impossible combination of [[Poké Ball]] and [[species]], obtained via [[trade]] from a cheating player. A {{p|Skeledirge}} in a [[Beast Ball]] for example, is currently an impossible combination due to Skeledirge being unavailable to be captured in the wild. If bred, an illegal {{p|Fuecoco}} {{pkmn|Egg}} would be produced, inheriting the Beast Ball from the illegal parent.
** Another instance would be a player joining a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Hacked Max Raids|hacked Max Raid]] via [[Y-Comm]], (prior to Sword and Shield v1.2.1), and then catching the resulting illegal Pokémon, or receiving unobtainable item as a reward for defeating it. As a result, Pokémon and items that were impossible to receive via trade due to anti-cheat detection were made possible to obtain on an unmodified savefile, as the Pokémon and items are generated client-side by the non-cheating participant's game.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

====Balltism====
A term used by collectors to describe catching Pokémon with a specific type of [[Poké Ball]]. Often this involves a desire to have the Ball's color scheme, thematic properties, or release animation align with the Pokémon it contains, as well as unique or unlikely combinations being valued. Some examples commonly sought after by players are Pokémon obtained in [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Apriball|Apriball]]s, (which in most main series games are rare, or difficult to obtain), and non-[[Ultra Beast]] species being obtained in [[Beast Ball]]s, (due to the drastically lower 0.1× [[catch rate]] when used on non-Ultra Beast species).

The word is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of "Ball" and "Autism"; sometimes used as a pejorative term in reference to one's obsession with obtaining a given Pokémon in a specific type of Ball, or devaluing Pokémon deemed to be in a "non-matching" type of Ball.<ref>https://gamerant.com/pokemons-quick-ball-controversy-shiny-hunting-look-reversal/</ref>

On April 24, 2021, the merchandise line "BALL FREAK", which prominently featured the concept of matching Pokémon and Poké Balls of similar style/coloration, released on the Japanese Pokémon Center website,<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2021/04/210409_to01.html</ref> however this terminology hasn't appeared in any other media. It's currently unclear if [[The Pokémon Company]] considers "ball freak" an official term for the concept, or if it was only intended for use as a title for the specific merchandise line. To date, this remains the only official reference to this concept.

===Game acronyms===
Most of the Pokémon games come in pairs and are often followed by enhanced versions, hence Pokémon fans call them collectively with the first letters of their names.

* '''RGBY''': {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. Sometimes only '''RBY''', omitting the Japanese exclusive Pokémon Green in favor of its international release, Pokémon Blue.

*** '''TID''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Indigo Disk]]. Sometimes '''ID''', dropping the initial "The" in an attempt to avoid confusion with [[Trainer ID]], which also uses the acronym "TID".

===Gameplay terms===
====6IV or 6V====
Refers to either a Pokémon with [[individual values]] of 31 for all 6 [[stat]]s, or a Pokémon with all 6 stats set to "competitively viable" values. This is also commonly referred to as "perfect IVs".
* As an example, some competitive strategies require a Pokémon to have an intentionally lower stat, such as an IV of 0 for {{stat|Attack}}, or {{stat|Speed}}. Strategies using {{m|Trick Room}} or {{m|Gyro Ball}} may benefit from a Pokémon having a lower Speed stat than the opponent, therefore a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in every other stat, but with a Speed IV of 0, may still sometimes be referred to as 6IV or "perfect".

The term "5IV" or "5V" (a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in only five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], allowing for the value of 5 random IVs of a bred Pokémon to be inherited from the parents if either parent holds the Destiny Knot.

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a [[Shiny Pokémon]] of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss/Will-O-Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or {{DL|Lumiose City|Prism Tower|Centrico Plaza}}, resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.

HM mules are often referred to as '''HM slaves''' or '''HM friends'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

====HSOWA====
[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "'''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite their massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.
{{-}}

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] to its limit before taking on each [[Gym Leader]]. This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}, and popularized by {{wp|YouTuber}} 'JohnStone'.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}
Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle. Also referred to by fans as '''Pokémon following you'''.

====Apriball====
{{main|Apricorn}}
Referring to the [[Poké Ball]]s crafted using [[Apricorn]]s in [[Johto]], [[Kanto]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or [[Galar]] regions, specifically the [[Heavy Ball|Heavy]], [[Lure Ball|Lure]], [[Friend Ball|Friend]], [[Love Ball|Love]], [[Level Ball|Level]], [[Fast Ball|Fast]], and [[Moon Ball]]s.

Despite Poké Balls in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} also being craftable using Apricorns, this term doesn't refer to Poké Balls from the Hisui region.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs and officially known as base points, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

=====AVs=====
{{main|Go Power}}
Awakening values, often shortened to AVs and officially known as Go Power, are used in {{LGPE}} in place of EVs. AVs are used to increase a Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]], but are awarded through the use of [[Candy]] and [[level]]ing up, rather than by defeating other Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}s or consuming [[vitamin]]s.

=====ELs or GVs=====
{{main|Effort level}}
Effort levels, often shortened to ELs, (referred to internally as "Ganbaru values", often shortened to GVs), are a mechanic introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Effort levels take the place of [[effort value]]s from previous games. Pokémon gain effort levels through the use of [[Grit]] items, but will initially begin with 0-3 ELs in each stat, with the amount being determined by the Pokémon's [[IV]]s.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====PID or EC====
{{main|Personality value}}
A shortened version of the term personality value, a hidden value used to determine several properties of a Pokémon, including {{Shiny|Shininess}}. [[Generation VI]] onwards, this value is split into two separate values, with the latter being referred to as the Encryption Constant, often shortened to EC.

=====PSV or ESV=====
Pokémon Shiny Value, often shortened to PSV, and Egg Shiny Value, often shortened to ESV, are values derived from a Pokémon or {{pkmn|Egg}}'s [[personality value]], designed as an easy way to tell if the Pokémon or Egg will appear as {{Shiny}} for a given player, if the value is the same as that player's Trainer Shiny Value, (often shortened to TSV).

====TID or SID====
{{main|Trainer ID number}}
Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

=====TSV=====
Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.

====RNG or RNG Abuse====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software (commonly referred to as RNG Abuse), in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

'''Tornadus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トルネロス''' ''Tornelos'') is a {{type|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Tornadus has a second [[#Form data|form]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original form, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.

Along with {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}, it is a part of the [[forces of nature]]. In {{aniseries|BW}}, it is associated with {{p|Meloetta}}.

==Biology==
In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is a green, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its forehead are two purple long and sharp horns. Tornadus has white, wavy, and billowy styled hair, a spiky white mustache, and two pointed green ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Tornadus's body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with {{wp|magatama}} shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored purple. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a purple long, curling tail, tipped with a whirl. Spanning the length of its tail, Tornadus has several whorled structures. They are a light khaki color and follow the same direction as the tip of its tail.

Tornadus can travel at speeds of 200 miles per hour (320 kilometers per hour). It can also whip up frigid storms with its tail and is able to blow away houses. This also has the effect of changing the seasons. Tornadus is feared and despised by people and farmers for the destruction it causes with its ferocious gales when unleashed. It also gets into violent clashes with {{p|Thundurus}} when the two meet, having fought its brethren since the beginning of time. Tornadus can unleash mini whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a cloud shield to protect itself from harm. Tornadus lives in the sky and usually around snowy regions. Tornadus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini icy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Tornadus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Bleakwind Storm}}.

===Forms===
Tornadus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

In Therian Forme, Tornadus is a large, green, bipedal, long-necked, birdlike Pokémon. It now lacks any visible ears, and the horns on its forehead have become thinner and crest-like. Tornadus's hair is also now crest-like, and the direction of its hair whirl is reversed. The style of its hair is now more relaxed as well, proudly flowing down its long neck. Tornadus's mustache now takes on a more beak-like appearance, puffing out on the edges like coarse plumage against its cheeks. Its eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises that still lack visible pupils. Its chest is now fuller, but remains largely unchanged, while its navel is now bejeweled with a red gem. Tornadus's arms have now become large spanning, feathered wings; each possessing thumbs and five large, purple-tipped primary feathers. It has two strong legs and sharp talons, each with three sharp purple claws and one dewclaw. Tornadus's tail remains largely unchanged, although it appears less curved than before. On its lower back, it has a large trailing cloud-like puff.

The Therian Forme of Landorus is its true, original form as revealed by the [[Reveal Glass]]. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit the [[Interdream Zone]]. The Therian Forme of Tornadus was first discovered by the [[Celestica people]] who resided in [[Hisui]] and worshiped it. Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].

===Form data===
Tornadus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{B2W2}}.

By default, Tornadus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Tornadus cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Forme from being traded to {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it doesn't exist.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

[[File:Tornadus Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|Therian Forme Tornadus in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Forces of nature (anime)|Tornadus|Tornadus (anime)}}=====
Tornadus made his animated series debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]''. He appeared in [[Milos Island]]'s legend and then attacked unexpectedly when {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lewis]] tried to summon {{p|Landorus}}. Once {{p|Thundurus}} appeared, the two engaged in a fierce battle. He then appeared in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', where he ultimately was calmed by Landorus.

Tornadus appeared in both of his Formes in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', where he was summoned to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] by {{an|Giovanni}} and sent on a rampage alongside Thundurus and Landorus. Eventually, he was freed by {{an|Meloetta}} and departed.

=====Other=====
A Therian Forme Tornadus appeared in the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Flying in the Air}}''. He was among the many {{type|Flying}} Pokémon summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to create wind for Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, but their combined {{m|Gust}} was too much for them and sent them blasting off.

====Minor appearances====
Tornadus debuted in a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'', where he created a windstorm that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encountered.

===GOTCHA!===
A Tornadus briefly appeared in his Therian Forme as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==

[[File:Team Plasma Tornadus Therian Forme Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Therian Forme Tornadus in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Tornadus debuted in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'', where [[Monta]] chased it with the intent of {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it. However, Tornadus was difficult for Monta to catch, since he kept fleeing during each encounter. Using his newly evolved {{p|Watchog}}, Monta was finally able to catch him.

===Pocket Monsters BW===
A Tornadus appeared in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of nature (Adventures)}}
Tornadus, along with {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}}, was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] in ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]''. He was first seen battling Thundurus near the [[Battle Subway]] before his capture, and was later given to the [[Shadow Triad]] to be used to battle the [[Gym Leader]]s at [[Nacrene City]]. He made another appearance at the {{un|Pokémon League}} under [[Colress|Hood Man]]'s control.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Tornadus appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} in its Incarnate Forme.

==Trivia==
* Tornadus and {{p|Thundurus}} have identical base stat distributions in their Incarnate Formes.
* Tornadus is the first Pokémon to be pure {{type|Flying}}, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Tornadus is the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type.
** Tornadus is the only member of the [[forces of nature]] to be a single-type Pokémon.
* When Tornadus appears on {{rt|7|Unova}} in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, {{p|Thundurus}}'s [[cry]] is heard.
* In an interview with Nintendo Dream, [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that Tornadus was originally intended to be colored red, to pair with Thundurus's blue. Tornadus's color was changed because the pair ended up looking too similar to {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}.<ref name=ND205 />
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Tornadus's Therian Forme had the same [[List of Pokémon by shape|shape]] as its Incarnate Forme.

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of wind.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|djinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter, which is shown in the Pokémon's signature move, {{m|Bleakwind Storm}}.

In Therian Forme, Tornadus resembles a {{wp|bird of prey}}; it is mostly similar to an {{wp|eagle}}, {{wp|vulture}}, or other large avian species. It is also loosely inspired by the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}} (Chinese: 朱雀 ''Zhūquè'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}.<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> It may also draw inspiration from other avian mythological figures, such as {{wp|Huītzilōpōchtli}}, a god from the Aztec mythology that resembles a hummingbird; or from {{wp|Garuda}}, a mythical birdlike creature with both zoomorphic and anthropomorphic features.

====Name origin====
Tornadus and Tornelos may be a combination of ''{{wp|tornado}}'' and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}; also spelled Αἴολος ''Aiolos'').

'''Landorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ランドロス''' ''Landlos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Landorus has a second [[#Form data|form]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original form, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}, it is a part of the [[forces of nature]]. In {{aniseries|BW}}, it is associated with {{p|Meloetta}}.

==Biology==
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is an orange, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its forehead are three, sharp, pink horns arranged in a slight, upwards arch. Landorus has white hair shaped like a short log on top of its head, a jagged white mustache, and two pointed orange ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Landorus's body is covered in dark pink spots, most of them shaped like diamonds, pebbles, and {{wp|magatama}}s. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with magatama shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored dark pink. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a long, curling, brown branch or root-like tail. Landorus's tail has various flat protrusions running its span, each spotted in dark pink on its edge surface.

Landorus is considered the "Guardian of the Fields", due to helping crops grow. Its tail causes the soil to gain nutrition. The energy from the tail is created by combining lightning and wind. It can also create powerful sandstorms on the few occasions it does fight. Landorus seems to live above the skies. Sometimes it stops on the Abundant Shrine in the Unova region or the Hisui region, but only when {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} are in the same place. In Hisui, it also tends to resides on islands surrounded by water. Landorus can also stop and calm the two [[forces of nature]] whenever the two fight or cause destruction, thus being referred to by the grateful people as "Great Landorus". In [[Hisui]], it had the title of ''god of fields'' due to it bringing life to the region along with {{p|Enamorus}}. Landorus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini sandy whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Landorus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Sandsear Storm}}.

===Forms===
Landorus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

In Therian Forme, Landorus is an orange, lean, quadrupedal Pokémon with feline features. The horns on its head are now thinner and arranged closer together in a downwards arch. While its hair remains the same; its mustache now takes on a more fanged maw-like appearance, curving around its head to behind its ears, which have now become smaller and rounder. Its eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises that still lack visible pupils. Its chest remains broad and unchanged, while its navel is bejeweled with a beige gem. Landorus's back and lower legs are striped with dark pink, and its biceps and triceps are adorned with dark pink magatama designs. It has four trailing cloud-covered paws, each with three sharp dark pink claws. Its tail remains largely unchanged.

It is also known as the '''god of fields''' for bringing bountiful harvests in Therian Forme whenever it appears, usually after stopping Tornadus and Thundurus's battles. It can travel through an entire region such as [[Hisui]] in just a few hours. The Therian Forme of Landorus is its true, original form as revealed by the [[Reveal Glass]]. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit the [[Interdream Zone]]. The Therian Forme of Landorus was first discovered by the [[Celestica people]] who resided in [[Hisui]] and worshiped it. Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].

===Form data===
Landorus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{B2W2}}.

By default, Landorus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Landorus cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Forme from being traded to {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it doesn't exist.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Landorus's Therian Forme had the same [[List of Pokémon by shape|shape]] as its Incarnate Forme.

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Landorus is based on a deity of the land;<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> perhaps specifically {{wp|Inari Ōkami}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of fertility and agriculture. It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|djinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who is sometimes depicted with crops and said to bring dry winds (connected with Landorus's signature move, {{m|Sandsear Storm}}); or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

In Therian Forme, Landorus mostly resembles a predatory mammal, such as a tiger or other large feline. It is also loosely inspired by the {{wp|White Tiger (China)|White Tiger}} (Chinese: 白虎 ''Báihǔ'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}.<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> This inspiration is alluded to in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; the White Tiger represents the west, and in [[Hisui]], Landorus roams the western [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] area. Additionally, Landorus may draw inspirations from {{wp|Tezcatlipoca}} or {{wp|Tepēyōllōtl}}, gods from the {{wp|Aztec mythology}} that resemble a jaguar.

====Name origin====
Landorus and Landlos may be a combination of ''{{wp|land}}'' and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}; also spelled Αἴολος ''Aiolos'').

'''Thundurus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボルトロス''' ''Voltolos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Thundurus has a second [[#Form data|form]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original form, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}, it is a part of the [[forces of nature]]. In {{aniseries|BW}}, it is associated with {{p|Meloetta}}.

==Biology==
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is a blue, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its head is a single, long, sharp, purple horn. Thundurus has white, zigzagging, and jutting-styled hair, a spiky white mustache, and two pointed blue ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Thundurus's body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with {{wp|magatama}} shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored purple. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a thick, long, curling, purple, cable-like tail. Thundurus has six ball-like structures its tail goes through at intervals, like knots in a cord. They are a dark gray color, and each has a long, sharp spike on one side.

It is known to be disliked and feared by people and farmers for its destructive rampages which include fierce thunderstorms. It tends to cause forest fires whenever it flies around shooting lightning. Thundurus's lightning bolts can enrich the soil of any ground it hits. Any area visited by Thundurus is marked by charred remains of areas it destroyed. Thundurus has been known to get into violent conflicts with {{p|Tornadus}} ever since the beginning of time. Thundurus can unleash mini thunderstorms while surrounding itself with a cloud shield to protect itself from harm. Thundurus lives in the sky and around the oceans of a region. Thundurus is permanently in its Incarnate Forme while living in a region. It can unleash mini sparky whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Thundurus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}.

===Forms===
Thundurus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

In Therian Forme, Thundurus is a large, blue, sleek, bipedal snake or dragon-like Pokémon. The horn on its head is now thicker and extends out more, while its ears become more pointy and pinned back. Thundurus's hair remains the same; the mustache now takes on a more raised snout and fanged-maw-like appearance, with two curving wisps flowing back and past its ears. Its eyes remain yellow, but with larger irises that still lack visible pupils. Its chest remains broad and unchanged, while its navel is bejeweled with a blue gem. Thundurus's arms have lost much of their muscular bulk, and are now slimmer. It has two paw-like hands, each covered in a trailing cloud-like fluff and with three claw-tipped fingers. Thundurus's purple lower half is much smaller than its upper body and consists of two hind legs and its tail. Its feet are elongated, with three downward curved toes and claws. Thundurus's tail also remains largely unchanged, although it is thicker at the base and tapers off, becoming thinner toward the tip.

Thundurus can shoot thunderbolts from its tail. It uses these lightning bolts to annihilate foes into nothingness. Thundurus can move so fast it can materialize without warning. The Therian Forme of Landorus is its true, original form as revealed by the [[Reveal Glass]]. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit the [[Interdream Zone]]. The Therian Forme of Thundurus was first discovered by the [[Celestica people]] who resided in [[Hisui]] and worshiped it. Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].

===Form data===
Thundurus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. Its Therian Forme was introduced in {{B2W2}}.

By default, Thundurus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to Incarnate Forme. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Thundurus cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Forme from being traded to {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it doesn't exist.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Forces of nature (anime)|Thundurus|Thundurus (anime)}}=====
Thundurus made his animated series debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. He appeared on [[Milos Island]] after {{TRT}} destroyed its shrine, then began fighting with {{p|Tornadus}}. Later, when {{p|Landorus}} tried to stop them, they fought Landorus together, even after [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}} and [[Dr. Zager]] tried to capture them.

Thundurus appeared in both of his Formes in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', where he was summoned to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] by {{an|Giovanni}} and sent on a rampage alongside Tornadus and Landorus. Eventually, the three were freed by {{an|Meloetta}} and departed.

====Minor appearances====
Thundurus debuted in a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', where he created a thunderstorm that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encountered.

A silhouetted Thundurus appeared in his Therian Forme in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

===GOTCHA!===
A Thundurus briefly appeared in his Therian Forme as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of nature (Adventures)}}
Thundurus made his first appearance in ''[[PS484|Battle on a Roller Coaster]]'', where he shocked {{adv|Black}} after the [[Nimbasa Gym]]'s roller coaster took him outside the Gym. In ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]'', Thundurus got in a battle with Tornadus near the [[Battle Subway]]. After being stopped by Landorus, the three were {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] for [[Team Plasma]] to use. Later, they were used by the [[Shadow Triad]] against the [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Nacrene City]]. These Pokémon were then given to [[Colress|Hood Man]] to experiment with how to change them to their alternate forms.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Thundurus appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} in its Incarnate Forme.

==Trivia==
* Thundurus and {{p|Tornadus}} have identical base stat distributions in their Incarnate Formes.
* Thundurus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Bolt Strike Pokémon, shares its name with the [[move]] {{m|Bolt Strike}} in both Japanese and English; however, it cannot learn the move, which is {{p|Zekrom}}'s [[signature move]].
* Thundurus is the only one of the [[forces of nature]] that has a type advantage over the other members of the quartet, specifically Tornadus and {{p|Enamorus}}.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Thundurus's Therian Forme had the same [[List of Pokémon by shape|shape]] as its Incarnate Forme.
* In the [[Generation VII]] {{pkmn|games}}, due to a coding error, Thundurus cannot learn {{m|Smart Strike}} in its Therian Forme.

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of thunder and lightning.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|djinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, which is shown in the Pokémon's connection to lightning and its signature move, {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}.

In Therian Forme, Thundurus most closely resembles reptiles such as serpents or dragons. It is also loosely inspired by the {{wp|Azure Dragon}} (Chinese: 青龍 ''Qīnglóng'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}.<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> This inspiration is alluded to in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; the Azure Dragon represents the east, and in [[Hisui]], Thundurus roams the eastern [[Cobalt Coastlands]] area. Additionally, Thundurus may be based on the {{wp|Qilin}}, a mythical creature from East Asia described as having a horn on its forehead and occasionally associated with lightning.

====Name origin====
Thundurus may be derived from ''thunderous'' and possibly ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).

Voltolos may be a combination of ''volt'' and Αἴολος ''Aiolos'' (Greek name for Aeolus).

'''Enamorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラブトロス''' ''Lovetolos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Enamorus has a second [[#Form data|form]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original form, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, it is a member of the [[forces of nature]].

==Biology==
[[File:EnamorusTwilightMasquerade93.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Enamorus's tail uncoils, glows pink, and takes the shape of a heart during attacks]]
In Incarnate Forme, Enamorus is a pink, slim humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a female-only species with no male counterpart. On its forehead are four sharp magenta horns. Enamorus has white hair tied back, with thick strands shaped like a heart on top of its head, white lips, and two pointed pink ears on either side of its head with a small strand of hair falling in front of them from the temples. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Enamorus's body is covered in magenta spots, most of them shaped like diamonds, pebbles, and {{wp|magatama}}s. Its thin chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders are adorned with magatama shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored magenta. It has two spotted thin arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a long, brown tail resembling a snake wrapped twice around its neck. Enamorus's tail has magenta heart markings lined in black running its span, with a pair in place at the end of its tail resembling eyes and another resembling a mouth.

Enamorus is known as the "Herald of Spring" and "God of Spring". The reason is that it arrived from the sea into the [[Hisui]] region. This usually signals the end of winter and the rise of the spring season. Enamorus tends to reside in the Crimson Mirelands. It stays in Incarnate Forme when staying in a region. Enamorus's love was said to have given rise to fresh life in the Hisui region. It can unleash mini hearty whirlwinds along with surrounding itself with a wind shield to protect itself from harm.

Enamorus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Springtide Storm}}.

===Forms===
Enamorus has two forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

In Therian Forme, Enamorus resembles a flying cloud turtle and snake hybrid Pokémon. The feet are magenta three-toe flippers connected to pink arms with single magenta, magatama-shaped spots on the front legs. The trailing cloud now rings its body, leaving bare its pink belly, with the end having a small cloud tail; its belly has a green gem where its navel should lie. The long, brown snake-like tail is coiled on the cloud body, acting as the top of its shell; the false snake head remains, as do the heart-shaped markings along it. Its pink head now resembles a long-nosed turtle, with a long neck that protrudes directly from the cloud ring. Enamorus retains the four magenta horns on its forehead, but they are stubbier. The tip of its nose is white and heart-shaped, connected to a curved white mustache that extends to both sides of its nose. It retains its yellow eyes with beady white irises and short white hair resembling a hair bun with strands shaped like a heart on top.

Therian Forme Enamorus is known to be vengeful to those who disrespect any form of life. It will descend from the clouds and deliver a wrathful, ruthless punishment in the process. The Therian Forme of Enamorus is its true, original form as revealed by the [[Reveal Glass]]. It is known to travel around oceans in its Therian Form in search of a region to reside in. In this form, it is known to inhabit the [[Interdream Zone]]. The Therian Forme of Enamorus was first discovered by the [[Celestica people]] who resided in [[Hisui]] and worshiped it. Its name was coined by [[Professor Burnet]].

===Form data===
Enamorus has two interchangeable forms: Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme. By default, Enamorus is in its Incarnate Forme. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], it changes into its Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, it reverts to its Incarnate Forme. The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Its Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite its Incarnate Forme also having a Hidden Ability.

==Trivia==
* Enamorus is the only member of the [[forces of nature]] to be female.
* Despite being a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, Enamorus cannot learn any Flying-type moves by leveling up.
* Enamorus is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] to not evolve from a previously introduced Pokémon. However, it is a member of a previously introduced group of [[Legendary Pokémon]], the Forces of Nature.
* Enamorus is the only Legendary Pokémon to close out a [[generation]]'s [[National Pokédex]] listing, since every prior generation's listing closes with a [[Mythical Pokémon]] instead.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}'s internal code, Incarnate Forme Enamorus's Ability is {{a|Healer}} instead of {{a|Cute Charm}}.
* Enamorus is the only Pokémon who can have Cute Charm naturally as an Ability that cannot learn {{m|Attract}}.
* Incarnate Forme Enamorus is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced during [[Generation VIII]] to have a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Enamorus is the only Pokémon that can only be caught in [[Hisui]]an [[Poké Ball]]s in the main series. However it can be obtained in [[Premier Ball]]s and [[Master Ball]]s in {{g|GO}}.

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Enamorus may be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, a harvest and fertility ''{{wp|kami}}'' represented with the body of a snake and the head of a man or woman. Enamorus appears to be based on the female deity, which was {{wp|Shinbutsu-shūgō|syncretized}} with {{wp|Benzaiten}}, a Japanese Buddhist deity who originated from the Hindu goddess {{wp|Saraswati}}. In addition, it may be inspired by other snake-bearing goddesses, especially {{wp|Manasa}} in Hinduism and {{wp|Bodhisattva}} Janguli in {{wp|Chinese Esoteric Buddhism}}, who symbolized the triumph over evil {{wp|Nāga|snakes or dragons}}, and were worshipped for the cure of snake venom and patronage of fertility. Its association with spring may also draw inspiration from the ancient {{wp|Mesopotamia|Mesopotamian}} goddess {{wp|Inanna}} or Ishtar, who represented the planet {{wp|Venus}} and the transition into spring in {{wp|Babylonian astrology}}.

Like the other members of the [[forces of nature]], it may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|djinn}} or an {{wp|Anemoi}}. For the latter it may be specifically inspired by the west wind {{wp|Zephyrus}}, who is associated with flowers, the springtime, and procreation, which is shown in the Pokémon's ability to bring life and its signature move, {{m|Springtide Storm}}. It also shares similarities with the {{wp|Maya civilization|Mayan}} depiction of {{wp|Kukulkan}} at {{wp|Yaxchilan}}. The way Enamorus's snake-like tail is wrapped around its neck may be a reference to {{wp|constriction}}, a hunting method used by snakes, or to the {{wp|feather boa}}, an accessory worn around the neck.

In Therian Forme, Enamorus may be based on reptiles, namely a {{wp|softshell turtle}} and a snake. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} (Chinese: 玄武 ''Xuánwǔ'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}; like Enamorus, the Black Tortoise is usually depicted with a snake wrapped around it. However, despite Enamorus being associated with spring, the Black Tortoise represents winter. Therian Forme Enamorus's Pokédex entry, which mentions it punishing those who disrespect life, may be inspired by stories of turtle eaters being revenged by demonized softshell turtles in {{wp|Edo period|Edo}}-era literary sketches, such as ''{{wp|ja:北越奇談|Hokuetsu Kidan}}'' and ''Kaidan Tabi no Akebono''. Its form difference could also draw inspiration from the Edo-era superstition that softshell turtles are capable of shapeshifting.

====Name origin====
Enamorus may be a combination of ''enamor'', ''amorous'', and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).

Lovetolos may be a combination of ''love'' and Αἴολος ''Aiolos'' (Greek name for Aeolus). It can also be taken to mean ラブとロス ''rabu to rosu'' (love and loss).

== Split ==

I understand the split, but you should probably still start a discussion on the talk page after putting up the template. I do not have an opinion on the split itself, however. [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 18:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

:After considering possible names, I oppose the split, as it would probably create confusion over things like {{a|Synchronize}} or [[Sync Pair]]. It could possibly just be called “sync”, as that is used once. Does the website have any sort of name for it? [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 18:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
::No idea, but I also oppose the idea of a split, given that the info we have fits nicely into a single article without making it feel bloated. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

:::True, although if the concept appears again, the split might be necessary. [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 17:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I really don't see a need to split this. The item and what it does go hand-in-hand. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 02:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

:So do we wait for {{u|TheBestOfAllTime}} to come back, since they put up the template, or do we just remove the template now, since a few people, including an admin, have agreed, or do we wait for a bit for any other inputs? [[User:CyberDragonM|CyberDragonM]] ([[User talk:CyberDragonM|talk]]) 05:18, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
::In response to the last response from yesterday: yes, that's true, but so far, that's not a problem. In response to the previous comment: it's up to an admin to remove it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:31, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
:::I'll give it a bit more time in case anyone else wants to respond and then go from there. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 16:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
::::In retrospect, I think we should wait untill its used more other media such as in the anime or even future games. If not then if there will be more documentation in the page. [[User:TheBestOfAllTime|TheBestOfAllTime]] ([[User talk:TheBestOfAllTime|talk]]) 19:45, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
The Pokémon.com page for the Synchro Machine[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/synchronize/] uses the word "synchronize" to describe the action of the mechanic. [[Synclaire]] also uses that same term, though also uses "synchronization" to describe the state. ''If'' a split were to occur, I would go with Synchronization as the page title, though given how little exposure it has in the games and in animation currently, I would hold off on the split at this time.

'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') is the [[rival]] character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, playing opposite {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}. He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]].

In [[Generation II]], he appears with no {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} in all battles, although the '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'') Trainer class is associated with him in the game data. In [[Generation IV]], he uses the same Trainer class, except this time it appears normally in-game.

==Terminology==
He was first named '''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') in Bandai's Pokémon Scale World collection,<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2020/1000140058.html "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://p-bandai.com/sg/item/N2511649001001 "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (English)</ref><ref>[https://sg.portal-pokemon.com/goods/plush-toys/191114111230_premium_bandai_limited_edition_pokemon_scale_world_vol2_order_now.html "[PREMIUM BANDAI Limited Edition "Pokémon Scale World" Vol.2!! Order Now!!" on the official Pokémon website in Singapore] (English)]</ref> which was released in 2020 (21 years after his introduction in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}). In 2021, he became available {{mas|Silver|with the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], which was the first time he was named in-game. No definitive name has been given for him in the [[core series]] games and their manuals.

In the core series games, he is temporarily known by a placeholder name in the first {{pkmn|battle}} before he is named by the player:
* '''???''' (Japanese: '''???''') in [[Generation II]]
* '''Passerby Boy''' (Japanese: '''とおりすがりのしょうねん''' ''Passerby Boy'') in [[Generation IV]], using the placeholder {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Passerby" and placeholder name "Boy"

If the player attempts to leave his name blank, his default name refers to a game other than the current one: '''Gold'''{{sup/2|S}}, '''Silver'''{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/2|C}}, '''Heart'''{{sup/4|SS}}, or '''Soul'''{{sup/4|HG}} (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'', '''シルバー''' ''Silver'', '''ハート''' ''Heart'', or '''ソウル''' ''Soul'').

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival''). In Pokémon battles, this is displayed as '''Rival Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバルライバル''' ''Rival Rival''), since the word "Rival" is repeatedly stored in the game data as both the Trainer class and the character name.

In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], his name is '''{{j|シゲル}}'''{{sup/2|G}} ''Shigeru'' or '''{{j|サトシ}}'''{{sup/2|S}} ''Satoshi''. These are {{Gary}}'s and {{Ash}}'s respective Japanese names, and correspond to the second entry in the list of optional names for {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}} in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

Until the reveal of his official name, '''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') was almost universally used in [[fanon]] as the name for this character. Some fans instead called him '''Kamon''' (Japanese: '''カモン''' ''Kamon'') to discern him from {{adv|Silver|his Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} and {{OBP|Silver|HS18|an unrelated animated series character}}. This name is taken from the suggested names for {{ga|Ethan}} in both the Japanese and English versions of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}; this is similar to some fans calling {{ga|Blue}} "{{Gary}}", since the name is found as one of the options for the {{player}} in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue|s}} and for the [[rival]] in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}.

==In the core series games==
Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[first partner Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.

Silver shows a strong dislike of [[Team Rocket]]. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a Pokémon (heavily implied to be {{p|Sneasel}}) from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and while {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], he interferes to prove himself. It is in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in Mahogany that he meets with [[Lance]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon Trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when Team Rocket takes over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.

By the time the player reaches {{ka|Victory Road}}, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on [[Mt. Moon]], and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at [[Dragon's Den]].

After the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}, Silver can indeed be found training in the Dragon's Den on Tuesday and Thursday, where he cannot be battled. On Monday and Wednesday, he will appear at [[Indigo Plateau]] and will challenge the player to a battle if they appear there. He does not appear at all on Friday or the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. When battled this seventh and final time at Indigo Plateau, Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his {{p|Golbat}} has evolved to {{p|Crobat}}, which only occurs when Golbat is very [[friendship|friendly]]. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[first partner Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the first partner Pokémon he stole. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[Multi Battle]] following the battle at [[Mt. Moon]] giving him the chance to avenge his loss from earlier.

In terms of personality, Silver is initially the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed, and even physically abusive, pushing the {{player}} character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when Team Rocket {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] at the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]] asks Red if he is "Giovanni's kid" but concludes he is not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair." More information is revealed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver when a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} is brought to [[Ilex Forest shrine]]: Celebi takes the player [[Time travel|back in time]] three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father.

===Pokémon===
The [[first partner Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with most [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's first partner Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the Generation II [[core series]] games, Silver is the only [[Pokémon Trainer]] [[non-player character]] who appears to have no {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}. For instance, simply "<name> wants to battle!".
** However, in the game data, there are two separate Trainer classes sharing the same name: <sc>Rival</sc> (Japanese: ライバル ''Rival''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game. The {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the latter.
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the [[rival]] character lives in the same town as {{ga|Ethan|the protagonist}}. This aspect of his character was apparently discarded by the time of the final release, as his [[hometown]] was not elaborated upon in the {{pkmn|games}} and it is implied to not be [[New Bark Town]] since he seems to be unfamiliar with [[Professor Elm]]'s lab at the beginning of the game.
* In [[Generation IV]], Silver is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are red in the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
* In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at Indigo Plateau, the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme.
* The English script of the {{p|Celebi}} event in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
* Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.
* In the battle in the Goldenrod Tunnel in the remakes, his team when the player starts with Cyndaquil are all two levels lower than the same team he uses if the player were to start with another first partner Pokémon. This is presumably to make up for the player's Quilava likely not being fully evolved.
* In the original games, at level 16, Silver's Croconaw is {{pkmn2|underleveled}} in the second battle, when Totodile usually does not evolve into Croconaw until level 18. This is fixed in the remakes.
**His Haunter was also underleveled at level 20 in the third battle, when Gastly usually does not evolve until level 25. This is fixed in the remakes where instead his Haunter remains a Gastly.
* Silver is the first rival whose team does not change in accordance to his first partner Pokémon, nor does he have any types that cover for his first partner Pokémon's initial type.
* Art of Silver on [[Game Freak]]'s website depicts him with a {{p|Houndoom}}, despite not owning one within the games.
* While Silver did not appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} outside of a brief cameo, he shares many similarities to [[Paul]], who was {{Ash}}'s main rival throughout {{aniseries|DP}}. Like Silver, Paul believed in raising the power of his Pokémon through harsh training as opposed to forming a trusting relationship, which put him at odds with Ash throughout the series.

* ''Electric Soldier Porygon'' is the most commonly used translation: no known official English title exists for this episode.}}
(Japanese: '''でんのうせんしポリゴン''' ''Computer Warrior Porygon'', commonly ''Electric Soldier Porygon'') is the 38th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 16, 1997. The episode is infamous for resulting in over seven hundred Japanese people (ranging from 3-58 years old<ref>[http://cnn.com/WORLD/9712/17/japan.cartoon/ Cartoon-based illness mystifies Japan]</ref>) suffering adverse health effects, including {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|epileptic seizures}}, vomiting, irritated eyes and other related symptoms, due to use of a flashing strobe effect upon its first and only airing. Because of that, this episode was [[Banned episodes|never commercially released or re-broadcast]] anywhere in the world, and the show went on hiatus for four months.

The frames which caused the seizures are a four-second section in which {{AP|Pikachu}} uses an {{t|Electric}} attack on a group of vaccine missiles. The explosion—which occupies a significant portion of the frame—flashes brightly and alternates rapidly between red and blue. The seizures caused by this episode resulted in [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]] dropping strobe effects from Pikachu's electric attacks. For years following the incident, a disclaimer was broadcast at the beginning of all Japanese television shows, cautioning viewers not to sit too close to the television screen and to watch only in a brightly-lit room. (「テレビアニメを見るときには、部屋をあかるくして近づきすぎないようにしてみてくださいね。」)

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} make their way to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Matcha City]] in order to revive Ash's tired {{AP|Pikachu}}. There, they meet a distressed [[Nurse Joy]], who reveals that the [[Poké Ball]] {{pkmn|Storage System|transporter}} has been problematic — the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} she sends never arrives at another Pokémon Center, and it was replaced by a different Pokémon. [[Dr. Akihabara]], the inventor of the Pokémon Transport System, is at the Center trying to figure out what went wrong with the system. {{an|Brock}} suggests that a {{wp|computer virus}} could be the source of the problem. Akihabara explains that the system couldn't have been infected with a virus because he designed the circuits so well. Ash confuses his explanation of a computer virus with a biological one and thinks the transport system is actually sick. Joy is told by Brock about an antivirus, which is a powerful software made to fix the problem. However, upon further investigation into the system, Akihabara unexpectedly gasps and suddenly bolts out of the Center, leaving Joy and the others confused.

Ash and his friends break into Akihabara's huge laboratory mansion to figure out what happened to him. Inside, they are startled by a giant holographic image of Akihabara's head. Ash and {{ashfr}} are led into a room with a giant machine. The doctor orders them to enter the machine, only telling them that they have entered a giant Human Transporter after he has sealed and locked the door. Akihabara then introduces the group to a {{p|Porygon}} and explains that {{TRT}} has stolen his other prototype Porygon, and are causing havoc. Team Rocket is literally inside the system and have set up a virus blocking the Poké Balls from reaching the Pokémon Centers and keeping them for themselves. Akihabara can't send the antivirus in there because it would kill them, so he decided to send Ash and his friends into the machine with Porygon to defeat Team Rocket. They refuse, but Akihabara starts the Human Transporter and the kids are eventually sucked into cyberspace.

The group falls into the Transporter system, but Porygon flies beneath them, grows in size, and catches them. Riding on Porygon's back, Ash and his friends go over to confront Team Rocket, who are celebrating the success of their virus, which looks like a roadblock sign. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}; Weezing uses {{m|Poison Gas}} on them, making Ash and his friends cough. Then, Porygon regains composure and uses {{m|Conversion}}; its skin color becomes purple, like Weezing's. Porygon then charges, with the group still riding it, right into Weezing and Arbok, effectively [[fainting|knocking them out]].

Jessie decides to send their prototype Porygon out next, which looks similar to Akihabara's Porygon, except that it bears a "[[Team Rocket|R]]" flag on its tail and a zero on its forehead. Jessie's Porygon changes the shape of its head to give itself a sword-like beak and tries to attack the other Porygon, who has also changed shape to counter it. Ash and his friends decide to capitalize on the distraction to move the barrier Team Rocket built to hold back all of the Poké Balls that were intended to be delivered to the Pokémon Centers. Team's Rocket's attempt to stop them is stopped by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}, and Akihabara's Porygon sends them and the prototype Porygon blasting off.

Despite this, Akihabara, represented by a floating TV screen, warns them that Nurse Joy has followed Brock's instructions and hired another technician to put the antivirus program into the computer; and it indiscriminately targets everything and anything, including Team Rocket, Ash, and his friends. Trying to fix the problem himself, the doctor did not tell Joy about Team Rocket. As the antivirus targets the group, Porygon gathers Ash and his friends to attempt an escape. From the ground, Team Rocket calls Ash out for running away, but are corrected by Ash when he tells them to run from the antivirus. The antivirus then launches a few rockets that destroy the remainder of the Poké Ball barrier, thus destroying the virus. However, the vaccine keeps going. {{MTR}} and the prototype Porygon rescue a panicking Jessie and James from the moving sea of Poké Balls and join Akihabara's Porygon in an attempt to escape.
[[File:EP038SeizureScenes.png|thumb|250px|Scene after Pikachu blew up the missile. For health and safety reasons, please click on the image to view the animation.]]
The vaccine transforms into an object that resembles a flying spaceship and takes pursuit. It launches more missiles that both of the Porygon dodge with difficulty. Inside the Center, Nurse Joy and the technician command the antivirus to unleash a powerful attack. Revealing a gigantic particle gun, it locks onto the prototype Porygon and fires a huge beam, sending Team Rocket downward into a cyberspace bug hole created by the powerful attack. The bug holes created by the antivirus's beam cause a system error, and Joy orders the technician not to use the attack again.

Team Rocket awakens at the bottom of one of the bug pits, and they realize that their Porygon is knocked out and that they cannot escape. The flying antivirus locks onto them again, but {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}} intervenes. Held onto Akihabara's Porygon by Bulbasaur, Team Rocket weighs Porygon down and slows its progress toward the exit portal. The antivirus locks onto Akihabara's Porygon and fires four more missiles, which it is unable to dodge. Pikachu steps in and launches a destructive {{t|Electric}} attack, detonating two of the missiles and giving Porygon just enough time to escape through the exit portal. The next two missiles hit the portal itself, destroying Akihabara's entire house, much to Akihabara's dismay, as his Human Transporter is now in pieces.

In the remains of the mansion, Ash and his friends are relieved to be back in the real world. Team Rocket thanks Ash for saving them and then quickly leaves, forgetting their prototype Porygon. Ash and his friends decide to check in on the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy is relieved to see the Transport system working again, oblivious to the fact that Ash and his friends risked their lives to fix the system. Ultimately, Ash and his friends decide not to tell Joy of the whole ordeal, instead finally asking her to restore Pikachu.

==Scheduling changes==
After the hiatus, the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday, where it remained until 2018. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes}}

In the wake of the incident, all references to Pokémon, including a [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore|New Year's Eve show celebrating Pokémon]], were removed from TV Tokyo's programming.

==Legacy==
The incident caused by the episode was coined by the Japanese press as the [[Pokémon Shock]]. Before the series restarted, a special report was aired on April 11, 1998, titled ''[[Anime: Pocket Monsters Problem Inspection Report]]''. In addition, an explanation aimed for children {{DL|EP039|Explanation of EP038 incident|was shown on the first episode after the incident}}. However, it has been known some children faked seizures to skip school the next day. Every Pokémon episode that aired up until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except by mistake on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. The resulting hiatus also impacted the production of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', leading to the creation of a prologue explaining {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s backstory, as the episodes foreshadowing its appearance were delayed to beyond the movie's airdate.

To avoid further controversy involving the episode's central plot, {{p|Porygon}} has never had an important role in another episode since, despite {{AP|Pikachu}} being the one to cause the seizure-inducing explosion. Porygon's evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, also remained absent from the animated series until [[M15|the fifteenth movie]], and even then only appeared in cameo roles. Porygon itself has also made cameo appearances in the first four films, ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' and ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''. As an indirect result, its [[signature move]] {{m|Conversion}} has never been used in the series since, and its later-introduced signature move, {{m|Conversion 2}}, has not been seen in the series at all.

The seizures caused from this episode have infamously made the Pokémon animated series a frequent reference when discussing Japanese anime and its quick action and flashy effects. Numerous television shows and movies have made parodies with [[List of Pokémon parodies|notable references]] by ''[https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons The Simpsons]'' in the episode "[https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Thirty_Minutes_Over_Tokyo Thirty Minutes over Tokyo]" (as "Battling Seizure Robots" which gives the entire family seizures) and ''{{wp|South Park}}'' in the episode "{{wp|Chinpokomon}}" (where Kenny McCormick suffers a seizure from playing a Chinpokomon video game too much).

This episode also gave the Pokémon animated series the infamous title of "Most Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures Caused by a Television Show" from {{wp|Guinness World Records|The Guinness Book of World Records}}.

On September 19, 2020, the official Pokémon Twitter account posted a tweet that read "Porygon did nothing wrong", likely as a reference to this episode, and modern consensus that Porygon was a scapegoat due to Pikachu being the franchise's mascot. The tweet has since been deleted.<ref>[https://bulbagarden.net/threads/pokemon-twitter-deletes-porygon-tweet-controversy-and-history.282646/ Pokemon Twitter deletes Porygon Tweet: Controversy and History]</ref>

==English dub==
On May 21 and 26, 2006, [[Maddie Blaustein]] said on the [[Serebii.net]] forum that [[4Kids Entertainment]] did indeed dub this episode, although the validity of this statement has been questioned.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180911145212/https://forums.serebii.net/threads/ask-maddie-blaustein-q-a-with-meowth.116935/page-36#post-3281064 Ask Maddie Blaustein - Q&A with Meowth]</ref> On September 23, 2016, [[Eric Stuart]] also said that they did dub the episode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfRtZYcWwt0&t=968s ポケモンショック Pokémon Shock and The Whole Story]</ref> [[Veronica Taylor]], on the other hand, initially claimed they never dubbed the episode,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040819184416/http://pokedream.com/pokemon/infocenter/taylor.php Interview with Veronica Taylor]</ref> before saying on March 30, 2018, that she was actually unaware at the time as to whether it was dubbed or not, and that Stuart would know more about it being one of the voice directors of the {{pkmn|animated series}} at the time.<ref>[https://youtu.be/5CDfQVh8bV8?t=2m52s Veronica Taylor interview (Part 2)]</ref> [[Rachael Lillis]] also said she was unaware as to whether or not the episode was dubbed since decisions were made before it would be.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/drew.s.hemmerich/posts/2628502197161568 Drew Scott Hemmerich: Rachael Lillis' answer to the infamous banned Pokemon episode]</ref>

The rumor about the existence of an English dub of this episode actually predates Blaustein's word. For example, the first answer Blaustein gave about this episode was a direct response to a user who mentioned reading on Wikipedia about the episode being dubbed: the line "4Kids Entertainment has actually dubbed Computer Soldier Porygon even though it didn't air" was added to the Wikipedia article currently titled {{wp|Pokémon episodes removed from rotation}} on March 15, 2006, and Bulbapedia was used as the source.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_episodes_removed_from_rotation&diff=next&oldid=43907788</ref> When this Bulbapedia article was created on February 27, 2005, it had the line "4 Kids Entertainment have dubbed this episode and reduced the speed and intensity of the flashing explosion to make it safe, but the episode has still never been shown".<ref>http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP038&oldid=5596</ref> The line has been without a source until October 28, 2007, when "According to Maddie Blaustein" was added at the beginning of the line.<ref>http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP038&diff=prev&oldid=160862</ref> Contrary to rumors, neither Blaustein nor Stuart said 4Kids reduced the speed and intensity of the flashing explosion to make it safe for viewing.

* This is the only aired episode of the animated series to be [[Banned episodes|banned]] worldwide.
* This episode was skipped in the comic adaptation [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic]] and the companion book [[TV Anime Pocket Monsters Big Bite Book]]. However, the missing episode is acknowledged by the numbering of the other summaries (it skips from [[EP037|37]] to [[EP039|39]]).
** This episode is also not included on the ''Pocket Monsters'' episode guide on the Japanese [[Pokémon.com]] website.<ref>http://www.pokemon.co.jp/anime/tv/pokemon.html</ref>

Treasures of ruin

2024-10-30T23:44:05Z

TheBestOfAllTime:

[[File:treasures of ruin HOME wallpaper.png|thumb|250px|Clockwise from top-left: {{p|Chi-Yu}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chien-Pao}}. Artwork from [[Pokémon HOME]].]]
The '''treasures of ruin''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|災|わざわ}}いの{{ruby|宝|たから}}''' ''Treasures of Calamity''), also known as '''Ruinous Legends''',<ref>From the name of their battle theme, "Ruinous Legend ♪"</ref> and '''Calamity Pokémon'''<ref>From the name of their battle theme on Nintendo Music</ref> are a [[Legendary quartet|quartet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}. They originated in [[Region#Unnamed locations|an unknown land]], but currently reside in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Shared design==
The four treasures of ruin share a primary type, {{t|Dark}}; a {{pkmn|category}}, "Ruinous Pokémon"; and a signature move, {{m|Ruination}}. Their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] are all variations of each other, sharing the effect of lowering a certain [[stat]] by 25% for all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the field except themselves when they are in battle. Their names are all derived from Chinese.

==History==
The four treasures of ruin were once normal objects originated from [[Region#Unnamed locations|a distant land]] in the east of [[Paldea]]. These four treasures were a set of wooden tablets, a sword, a vessel, and a set of beads. As time passed, each of the treasures were corrupted by negative human emotions; grudge, hatred, fear and envy respectively, gaining life and cladding themselves in dead leaves, snow and ice, dirt and rocks and fire respectively, to create their bodies, becoming the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}.

One day, in the ancient times of Paldea, a merchant came from the east in possession of these four treasures, traveled to the Paldea region and presented them to the Paldean king. In excitement, the treasure-obsessed king quickly bought them all, keeping them in his castle with his other treasures. The king's greed however, eventually caused the four treasures to awaken, transforming into their Pokémon forms. The four Legendary Pokémon went berserk and caused a disaster that completely destroyed the castle and almost the entire kingdom afterwards.

Eventually though, the four of them were defeated and sealed away in different shrines scattered across the Paldea region by Pokémon wielders called out by the Paldean king. Wo-Chien was sealed within the [[Grasswither Shrine]], Chien-Pao within the [[Icerend Shrine]], Ting-Lu within the [[Groundblight Shrine]], and Chi-Yu within the [[Firescourge Shrine]].

The four treasures of ruin are scattered across Paldea, sealed in special shrines. Wo-Chien's can be found in [[South Province (Area One)]], Chien-Pao's can be found in [[West Province (Area One)]], Ting-Lu's can be found in the [[Socarrat Trail]], and Chi-Yu's can be found in [[North Province (Area Two)]]. Their shrines are usually locked, but can be unlocked after pulling out eight different stakes scattered across their respective areas. Upon pulling out all stakes, their shrines will unlock and the respective Pokémon can be called out to battle by interacting with their shrines.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
While none of the treasures of ruin have appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures]] so far, {{adv|Scarlet}}, who is a treasure hunter, is battling [[Paldea]]'s [[Gym Leader]]s in search of information about them. In [[PASV10]], it's revealed that Scarlet is seeking the treasures for one of her clients. Later on, it's revealed that her client is [[Uva Academy]]'s history teacher [[Raifort]], who wants to capture them and bring them under control so they can't spread ruin in case they're released into the world. She also reveals that to unseal the treasure, Scarlet will need another Pokémon with a special power, the {{ga|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}.

Treasures of ruin

[[File:treasures of ruin HOME wallpaper.png|thumb|250px|Clockwise from top-left: {{p|Chi-Yu}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chien-Pao}}. Artwork from [[Pokémon HOME]].]]
The '''treasures of ruin''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|災|わざわ}}いの{{ruby|宝|たから}}''' ''Treasures of Calamity''), also known as '''Ruinous Legends''',<ref>From the name of their battle theme, "Ruinous Legend ♪"</ref> and '''Calamity Pokémon'''<ref>From the name of their battle Theme on Nintendo Music</ref> are a [[Legendary quartet|quartet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}. They originated in [[Region#Unnamed locations|an unknown land]], but currently reside in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Shared design==
The four treasures of ruin share a primary type, {{t|Dark}}; a {{pkmn|category}}, "Ruinous Pokémon"; and a signature move, {{m|Ruination}}. Their [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] are all variations of each other, sharing the effect of lowering a certain [[stat]] by 25% for all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the field except themselves when they are in battle. Their names are all derived from Chinese.

==History==
The four treasures of ruin were once normal objects originated from [[Region#Unnamed locations|a distant land]] in the east of [[Paldea]]. These four treasures were a set of wooden tablets, a sword, a vessel, and a set of beads. As time passed, each of the treasures were corrupted by negative human emotions; grudge, hatred, fear and envy respectively, gaining life and cladding themselves in dead leaves, snow and ice, dirt and rocks and fire respectively, to create their bodies, becoming the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}.

One day, in the ancient times of Paldea, a merchant came from the east in possession of these four treasures, traveled to the Paldea region and presented them to the Paldean king. In excitement, the treasure-obsessed king quickly bought them all, keeping them in his castle with his other treasures. The king's greed however, eventually caused the four treasures to awaken, transforming into their Pokémon forms. The four Legendary Pokémon went berserk and caused a disaster that completely destroyed the castle and almost the entire kingdom afterwards.

Eventually though, the four of them were defeated and sealed away in different shrines scattered across the Paldea region by Pokémon wielders called out by the Paldean king. Wo-Chien was sealed within the [[Grasswither Shrine]], Chien-Pao within the [[Icerend Shrine]], Ting-Lu within the [[Groundblight Shrine]], and Chi-Yu within the [[Firescourge Shrine]].

The '''Pokémon Scarlet ・ Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Super Music Collection''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスカーレット・バイオレット+ゼロの秘宝スーパーミュージック・コレクション''' ''Pokémon Scarlet ・ Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Super Music Collection'') is the official soundtrack release for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

It was released as a physical album in Japan on February 27, 2024, available both as a standalone purchase and as part of a bundle with [[Pokémon Sword - Shield + Expansion Pass Super Music Collection]] and [[Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection]]. The soundtrack released worldwide on October 30th, 2024 in the Nintendo Music app.

==Tracklist==
The soundtrack contains 208 new music tracks from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] as well as new tracks from both expansions of the [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC: [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]]. All tracks are contained within a six-disc set.

=== Notable omissions ===
A small number of tracks are excluded from the official soundtrack despite being in the games themselves. These include, but are not limited to, the following tracks:

* The jingle that plays when the "A" button is pressed on the Title Screen.

* The jingle used for completing the Olive Roll mini game.
* The segment of the Gym Battle theme that only plays during [[Kofu]] and [[Tulip]]'s battle against the player, when they are walking up to their respective battlefields.
* Disc 2's Track 14, "{{tt|まだまだジムテスト！|Mada Mada Jimu Tesuto!}}/ "The Gym Test's Not Over!", does not include the phase of the theme that only plays during [[Lacey|Lacey's]] Elite Four trial every time the player answers a question in her quiz correctly.
* The end credits theme for the base game, Ed Sheeran's "[[Celestial]]".
* The end credits theme for [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] ("Celestial" remix by [[Toby Fox]]).
* Various other jingles.

=== Possible Errors in Credits ===
A small number of tracks are possibly erroneous in terms of composer / arranger credits. These include.

* Disc Two, Track 15 "戦闘！ヌシ / Battle! (Titan Pokémon)". Toby Fox should theoretically be credited as a composer along with Go Ichinose, as his "South Province" motif is referenced distinctively in a section of the track. However, only Go Ichinose is credited as a composer for this track.

* Disc Four, Track 17 "楽園防衛プログラム / Paradise Protection Protocol". Toby Fox should theoretically be credited as a composer along with Hiromitsu Maeba, as it is only the first section of the theme that is purely an original composition by Maeba, while the entirety of the second section of the theme is a reference to Toby Fox's "South Province" motif. However, only Hiromitsu Maeba is credited as a composer for this track.
* Disc Four, Track 19 "戦闘！■■■■ / Battle! (■■■■)". This theme is partially based on Toby Fox's "South Province" motif, while the rest of it appears to largely be an original composition unrelated to any motif that Toby Fox composed for this game. It is presumed that the arranger of this piece, Go Ichinose, is responsible for any additional composition in this theme. However, Toby Fox is solely credited for composition in this theme.
* Disc Four, Track 28 "図鑑評価・完璧！/ Pokédex Evaluation - It's Perfect!". Morikazu Aoki has been incorrectly credited as the composer for this theme. Although Morikazu Aoki did compose many of the Pokédex Evaluation jingles for earlier games, the theme that is used in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is based on a new Pokédex Evaluation jingle that Minako Adachi had composed for Pokémon X and Y, titled "Pokédex Evaluation... It's Complete!" in the [[Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection|Pokémon X and Y Super Music Collection]]. Therefore, Minako Adachi should be credited as the composer for Disc 4 Track 28, rather than Morikazu Aoki.
* Toby Fox should be credited for all the themes that are related to the Terarium, including all the Wild Pokémon Battle themes, and the Biome themes, as all these themes feature his "Tera Raid / Area Zero" motif. However, he is not credited as a composer for any of these themes.
* Disc Six, Track 20 "戦闘！テラパゴス / Battle! (Terapagos)". Minako Adachi and Toby Fox aren't credited as composers for this theme, despite both of them having composed motif's that are featured in this theme. Adachi's "Kieran" motif is used at the very beginning of the theme (to symbolise the Terapagos being under Kieran's control initially), and Fox's "Tera Raid / Area Zero" motif is used shortly after. However despite this, Go Ichinose and Rei Murayama are the only composers credited for this theme.

==Booklet==
The 36-page booklet includes several interviews and statements from [[Gō Ichinose]], [[Minako Adachi]], [[Teruo Taniguchi]], and [[Toby Fox]], as well as scenery and development art from the Scarlet and Violet video games.

==Trivia==
* The track "まだまだジムテスト！/ The Gym Test's Not Over!" is an arrangement of [[Pokémon Red & Pokémon Green: Super Music Collection|"Guide"]] from [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red and Blue]]. It typically plays during auctions at [[Porto Marinada]]'s [[Porto Marinada Market|market]], and also during the Olive Roll challenge at [[Cortondo]] (apart from the Olive Roll that takes place during the [[Cortondo Gym]] test), as well as during [[Crispin]] and [[Lacey]]'s respective Elite Four trials at the [[Blueberry Academy]]. The title of the track appears to reference the fact that [[Kofu's Wallet|Kofu's]] Gym Test extends beyond the return of his [[Kofu's Wallet|wallet]] to include participation in an auction for wakame seaweed on behalf of him. However, despite this, the track does not play during the auction associated with [[Cascarrafa Gym|Kofu's Gym]] Test. Instead, "ジムテスト / Gym Test" is played. This discrepancy suggests a possible error, either in the track’s intended usage or in the naming conventions used by OVERLAP or GAMEFREAK's sound team.

* This Super Music Collection contains the largest number of unique composer / arranger credits out of all Pokémon Games. This is due to the sound team consisting of a total of 10 unique composers, Minako Adachi, Go Ichinose, Hiromitsu Maeba, Teruo Taniguchi, Junichi Masuda, Hitomi Sato, Toby Fox, Yuri Habuka, Rei Murayama and Haruka Soeda. Additionally, Morikazu Aoki, and Shota Kageyama are credited as composers for themes that are based on their compositions from older games, which means there are a total of 12 different composers credited for composition in this Super Music Collection.
* The field themes for the South, East, and West Provinces share the same intro in-game, but then transition into unique versions depending on where the player is and whether they're walking or riding on Koraidon or Miraidon. However, in the Super Music Collection, only the 'default' versions of the riding themes, which play when the player is in a general area within the province (not a specific location like Asado Desert or Tagtree Thicket), include this intro. These are titled 'South Province', 'East Province', and 'West Province' respectively.
** Interestingly, the transition between the intro and the looped section of the track 'East Province' is handled differently in the game compared to the Super Music Collection. In the game, there's a slight overlap, where the final cymbal hit from the intro can still be heard just after the main theme begins. However, in the Super Music Collection, the final cymbal hit aligns perfectly with the start of the main theme, creating a smoother transition.
* Toby Fox's contributions to the soundtrack primarily revolve around three motifs he created. The first is the 'Academy' motif, which serves as the basis for tracks like 'Mesagoza' and 'The Academy Ace Tournament.' The second is the 'South Province' motif, used in various storyline-related tracks, including field and cutscene themes such as 'Los Platos' and 'Let's Take the Long Route Home.' Lastly, the 'Area Zero' motif appears in tracks tied to the Terastal phenomenon, Area Zero, and Terapagos, such as 'Tera Raid Battle!' and 'Battle! (Zero Lab).'
** All three motifs are featured in the track 'Soar Through the Paldea Skies,' which plays during the opening cutscene where Koraidon or Miraidon escapes from Area Zero and heads toward the Poco Path Lighthouse.

User:Minibug/List of common misconceptions

2024-10-13T03:59:57Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* In-universe origins */

{{mainspace}}

This is a '''list of common misconceptions'''. A common misconception is something often incorrectly presented as true which is actually false. Each item on this list is presented as a correction.

==Overall franchise==
* [[Satoshi Tajiri]] has never been stated to have {{wp|autism}}.<ref>DidYouKnowGaming on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuvGD5tC69o Pokemon Myths DEBUNKED]</ref>

==Pokémon misconceptions==
* {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, and the {{p|Marill}} lines come from [[Generation II]], not, as often mistaken, from [[Generation III]].
** Similarly, {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are mistaken to come from [[Generation I]] due to their early appearance in the anime. Pokémon like {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Mime Jr.}} were introduced in [[Generation IV]] but are often thought to come from Generation III. Munchlax being thought to be introduced in Generation III is likely because of its appearance in [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] along with being owned by {{an|May}} in the [[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphre]] anime series. The idea for Bonsly is likely for being playable in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and being owned by {{an|Brock}} in the aforementioned series.
* Many Pokémon are thought to have different [[type|typings]] than what they have in reality. These Pokémon are:
** {{p|Psyduck}}'s line is pure {{type|Water}}, not Water- and {{type|Psychic}}, despite its name suggesting so.
** {{p|Lugia}} is a Psychic- and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. It does not have Water typing, however, it was initially intended to be Water type.
** {{p|Groudon}} is a pure Ground type and is not partially {{t|Fire}} type. However, Primal Groudon does have a Fire-typing alongside Ground-typing.
** {{p|Luxray}} is a pure {{type|Electric}}, not Electric/Dark-type as its aggressive appearance suggests.
** {{p|Lurantis}} is often mistaken for a {{t|Bug}} type; however, it is a pure Grass type.
** {{p|Runerigus}} is actually Ground/{{type|Ghost}}, not a Rock-type.
* Fans sometimes mistake which Pokémon species evolve into:
** {{p|Luvdisc}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Tauros}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Bouffalant}}. These species are unrelated.
** {{p|Slowbro}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Slowking}}; it's an alternate evolution of {{p|Slowpoke}}.
** {{p|Arbok}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Seviper}}. This misconception comes from the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] which incorrectly stated this.
* There are some Pokémon which are often mistaken for [[Legendary Pokémon]]:
** {{p|Rotom}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it was a one-time-encounter Pokémon in Generation IV, met in a unique location, and used the Legendary Pokémon theme in its encounter.
** {{p|Volcarona}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it could be met for the first time as a static encounter, in a special location, at a very high level.
** {{p|Arcanine}} is not a Legendary Pokémon. This misconception is from its [[Pokémon category]] considering it a "Legendary Pokémon" while its translated Japanese category is "Legend Pokémon". An engraving in the episode ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' depicts Arcanine alongside the three [[legendary birds]] which were the only in-universe known Legendary Pokémon at the time, further supporting this misconception.
* {{t|Rock}}-types are not immune to {{t|Electric}}-type moves. This misconception was from the early episodes of the anime where the characters frequently claim this. In [[Generation I]], only the [[Fossil|fossil Pokémon]] were {{t|Rock}}-types that did not also have a {{t|Ground}}-typing. A scene in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' supports this misconception as [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{t|Electric}}-type attacks did no damage to a {{p|Kabutops}}.

===Creation and design===
* It is not certain that {{p|Rhydon}} was the first Pokémon designed, despite being the first Pokémon by [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation I|internal index number]] in Generation I. The interview that mentions Rhydon being one of the first Pokémon also mentions {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Lapras}} along with it as some of the first Pokémon created. {{p|Diglett}} is said to have been made up by [[Shigeki Morimoto]] when he was young, long before other Pokémon.<ref>https://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-developer-interview/</ref>
* {{p|Clefairy}} was never originally intended to be the Pokémon mascot. This is a misquotation of a passage from [[Pikachu's Global Adventure]], which discusses how Clefairy was made the main character in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga to make it more "engaging". Pikachu was chosen for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' in an attempt to appeal more to younger viewers and female viewers.
* Regular {{p|Pikachu}} has never had a black color on the tip of its tail. The only one that does is [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This is often described as a popular example of the {{wp|Mandela effect}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} is not based on a squirrel. Its name refers to squirting water, and only its English name could be mistaken for this animal. Its curled tail, however, most likely references a mythological turtle, {{wp|Minogame}}, with such a tail being one of its crucial details.
* Various Pokémon designs are often misunderstood:
** {{p|Poliwag}}'s pink mouth is often mistaken for a nose.
** {{p|Panpour}} and Simipour's eyes are not closed, as they can sometimes be seen blinking with their white eyes.
** {{p|Wurmple}} doesn't evolve based on the time of day.
** {{p|Doduo}} does have wings, according to its Pokédex entry.
** {{p|Woobat}}'s heart-shaped nose is often mistaken for its eye.
** {{p|Cradily}}'s true eyes are concealed inside the dark, crescent opening on its head rather then the yellow markings.
** The purplish variant of {{P|Kecleon}} that has been shown in ''[[EP205|Pokémon the Series]]'', the ''[[Kecleon (Chilling Reign 122)|TCG]]'', and the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]'' isn't its [[shiny]] coloration.

===In-universe origins===
* {{p|Ditto}} is not a failed clone of {{p|Mew}}. After being asked about this fan theory during an interview in 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] said he had never heard of it before.<ref>[Pokémon's Burning Questions https://web.archive.org/web/20121128050551/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/11/23/pok-233-mon-39-s-burning-questions.aspx]</ref>
** Ditto doesn't appear at the [[Cinnabar Mansion]] until {{g|Yellow}}.
** Ditto and Mew do not use the same color palettes. Mew and Mewtwo do use the same color palette in Generation I, but this is not indicative of cloning. In fact, there were only [[List of Pokémon by color palette in Generation I|10 color palettes]] available for 151 Pokémon in this generation, resulting in several Pokémon sharing the same palettes.
* {{p|Mewtwo}} is not known to have been created by the [[Team Rocket]] in the games, even though Mewtwo forms a [[sync pair]] with [[Giovanni]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] and it was created by Team Rocket in the anime and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* {{p|Lugia}} has no direct connections to the [[Legendary Birds]] in the core series games unlike in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}.
* {{p|Genesect}} is not confirmed to be a revived and technologically enhanced {{p|Kabutops}}.

==In the core series games==
* The [[Master Ball]] cannot fail. In all generations, the Master Ball overrides the normal catch rate formula altogether, making it impossible for it to fail under normal circumstances, as all chance-based calculations are skipped.
* There is no minimum age required to be a Trainer in the games, as evidenced by several young child Trainers classes such as the {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|School Kid}}, {{tc|Camper}}, and {{tc|Picnicker}}, as opposed to the anime where the minimum age is said to be 10 years old.
** None of the [[player character]]s are known to be 10 years old. The youngest player character with a confirmed age is {{ga|Red}}, who is 11.
* Most Trainers are not known to own a [[Pokédex]], except the [[player characters]] and some of their [[rival]]s and [[friend]]s.
* Holding or pushing any button combinations does not enhance the chance of [[catch]]ing a Pokémon.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] are not more powerful than non-Shiny instances of the same species. It's purely aesthetic; however, being Shiny used to be correlated with a Pokémon's [[IV]]s in [[Generation II]].
* Encountering the number of Pokémon equal to that encounter type's Shiny chance does not guarantee you will encounter a Shiny, e.g. if the Shiny chance is 1/8192, encountering 8192 Pokémon does mean there is a 100% chance of encountering a Shiny within those 8192 attempts. There is no pity mechanic to force a Shiny to spawn after a certain number of attempts, and the chance of each Pokémon appearing as Shiny is independent of previous attempts.
* Pokémon deposited into {{g|Bank}}, {{g|HOME}}, or [[trade]]d online within the core series games are not guaranteed to be [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legal|legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legitimate|legitimate]]. The [[Cheating#Cheat prevention in the Pokémon games|anti-cheat]] programmed into the core series games, and provided by Nintendo's servers, is not foolproof.
** Additionally, the anti-cheat has several cases of false positives, where perfectly legitimate Pokémon are incorrectly flagged as hacked by the server anti-cheat. Examples include cross-game/cross-generation [[evolution]], such as {{p|Blissey}} or {{p|Crobat}} originating from {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, or {{p|Mismagius}} originating from [[Generation III]], which cannot be traded in certain modern games due to the filters incorrectly assuming that these Pokémon shouldn't be capable of evolving at all, due to them being unable to evolve in their [[Game of origin]].

===Kanto-based games===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
* The background music of [[Lavender Town]] was not lowered in frequency when ported from {{game|Red and Green|s}} to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
* Red's [[Generation III]] design is never referred to by the name "Fire" in official media (including in the game data, manuals, boxes, or merchandise), except "Fire", "Red", "Leaf", and "Green" are all equally suggested names for both the male and female player characters when starting a [[new game]].
* There is no anti-piracy message present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The message "By the way: If you like this game, buy it or die." comes from a widely spread release of a [[ROM hack|modified ROM]] of FireRed from a piracy group.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
* The [[Catch Combo]] only increases the Shiny chance for the next instance of that species to spawn after the previous one was caught. Stopping a [[Chaining|chain]] of captures at 31 provides no additional bonus, the bonus only continues to function if the player continues to catch additional members of that species.

===Johto-based games===
====Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
* The [[Moon Ball]] has [[List of battle glitches in Generation II#Moon Ball oversight|no increased catch rate]] on Pokémon that would evolve by the use of [[Burn Heal]]. When the Moon Ball is used, the games actually look for the Burn Heal [[List of items by index number in Generation II|index number]] (0x0A) in the wrong memory address.

===Hoenn-based games===
* {{ga|Brendan}} has either black or brown hair depending on the generation. His white hat is often interpreted as hair by fans.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
* The [[DexNav#Shiny probability|DexNav]] has a complex method of determining the Shiny chance of Pokémon that appear as a result of using it, which has lead to multiple misleading reports about the Shiny rates and mechanics over the years, resulting in incorrect methods of Shiny hunting via the DexNav.

===Unova-based games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
* This line is not found in the English dialogue: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' It is actually a fanmade translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by {{tc|Swimmer}} Joyce on {{rt|17|Unova}}: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Balls? Fufufu... Woman's secret!''). However, in the official English version, she says this instead: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''

===Galar-based games===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
* There is no mechanic (outside of [[fishing]]) that allows the player to hunt Shiny Pokémon via [[Chaining]].
* The bonus to the Shiny rate provided by [[KO]]ing 500 of a given species of Pokemon is only applied to wild [[symbol encounter]]s with the [[Brilliant Pokémon|Brilliant Aura]], and does not apply to anything else.
* The chance for a Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild to be the variation with Square sparkles is 65521/65536, and contrary to popular belief, is not a programming error.
** Other types of encounters vary, with most having a rate of 15/16 having Star sparkles, and 1/16 having Square sparkles.<ref>https://skadiv.github.io/guides/swsh/</ref> The generation methods vary in older games as well.<ref>https://lincoln-lm.github.io/JS-Finder/Tools/SquareTable.html</ref>
* It is legitimately possible for Pokémon and Eggs to have no {{OBP|memory|game mechanic}}, often thought to only be possible through [[cheating]].

===Paldea-based games===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
* Standing somewhere slightly out of reach of a [[Walking Pokémon]], such as the roof of a [[Pokémon Center]], so that it runs around constantly in an attempt to path to the player, does not count towards the evolution requirements of {{p|Pawmo}} or {{p|Bramblin}}, nor does it count towards earning the Partner [[Mark]]. Both mechanics track the amount of steps the player character takes, and the former case ignores the amount of steps the Pokémon itself takes.

==In the anime==
* {{p|Porygon}} was not the one to cause seizures in [[EP038]]. It was actually [[Ash's Pikachu]] who hit the missiles that caused the infamous explosion.
* [[Gary's Umbreon]] as an {{p|Eevee}} was not his [[First partner Pokémon]]. It was actually [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]]. This misconception likely came from [[Pokémon Yellow]] where the rival's first partner Pokémon was an Eevee and that Gary's first partner Pokémon being Blastoise was not revealed until ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' which first aired after Pokémon Yellow came out.
* [[Gary's Arcanine]] is not known to have evolved from a {{p|Growlithe}}. [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the Japanese opening, [[The Rivals]], and its English equivalent, {{so|Pokémon World}} depicts Gary with a Growlithe but the anime never confirms whether this is true or not.
* Ash obtaining the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}} was not out of pity from Brock and Misty, despite the two bringing this up twice: Once in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' and once in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'' (although the second time was likely just teasing Ash rather than actually believing this). Ash obtaining the Boulder Badge was from Brock voluntarily giving it to him while the Cascade Badge was from {{an|Daisy}} for saving the [[Cerulean Gym]]. While neither battle against Brock and Misty were officially called for Ash, he held a strong lead in both of them where {{AP|Pikachu}} was about to defeat [[Brock's Onix]] and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} fought [[Misty's Starmie]] hard enough that Starmie began running out of energy.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* This manga series generally does not have graphical violence, with the exception of Blue's Charmeleon slicing Koga's Arbok in half and Giovanni's Cloyster killing two frozen Magmar, both from the [[Red, Green & Blue arc (Adventures)|first manga arc]].

Hisui first partner Pokémon

TheBestOfAllTime:

[[File:Hisuian first partners anime.png|thumb|350px|The Hisui first partner Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
The '''Hisui [[first partner Pokémon]]''' are the trio of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—{{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}<ref name="list">[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/catch-shiny-pokemon-in-pokemon-legends-arceus-mass-outbreaks-and-massive-mass-outbreaks Catch Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus Mass Outbreaks and Massive Mass Outbreaks | Pokemon.com] ([https://archive.ph/VkkPI archived])</ref>—chosen by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at the start of their journey in [[Hisui]]. These are traditionally given out by [[Professor Laventon]] and are to be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounters.

In official contexts, the group is referred to descriptively in several ways, including "the Hisui region’s first partner Pokémon"<ref name="list"/>, "the Fire-type first partner Pokémon from Johto and Hisui"<ref>[https://www.pokemoncenter.com/product/701-95858/cyndaquil-poke-plush-19-in Cyndaquil Poké Plush - 19 ¾ In. | Pokémon Center Official Site] ([https://archive.ph/2iT7u archived])</ref>, and more.

These are currently the only first partner Pokémon whose final evolutions have [[regional form]]s.

'''Chandelure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャンデラ''' ''Chandela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lampent}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Litwick}}.

==Biology==
Chandelure is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sentient chandelier. It has a striped, round head, and round, pupil-less yellow eyes. There is a ring of small, black spikes on top of its head with a tall, purple flame in the middle. From a black spike below its head, black arms curl upward. These arms are tipped with purple fire.

Chandelure's flames do not burn their victims physically; rather, they burn the victim's spirit. After hypnotizing its opponent by waving these flames, it absorbs the victim's spirit. It is said that any spirits that get incinerated by Chandelure's flames end up losing their way and are forced to wander the mortal world forever. Chandelure is known to reside in rundown mansions. There is a rumor that funerals were a constant occurrence for people that lived in homes that were illuminated by Chandelure in place of lights.

===Evolution===
Chandelure evolves from {{p|Lampent}} and is the final form of {{p|Litwick}}.

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

It also appears as a trophy in the 3DS version.
{{Clear}}

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon that burns its opponents' spirits instead of their bodies. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.''

'''PAL''': ''A Ghost- and Fire-type Pokémon that doesn't burn its opponents' bodies, but their spirits. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Chandelure was voted the most popular [[Generation V]] Pokémon, receiving 50,943 votes. It was also the eighteenth-most popular Pokémon overall.
*While Chandelure is unobtainable in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Ingo]] indirectly mentions his Chandelure at one point while in [[Wayward Cave]], describing it as having "wielded flames with mastery".
*In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'s {{sbw|Smash Run}} game mode, Chandelure can absorb fire and darkness attacks. The fire immunity can be explained by its possible ability {{a|Flash Fire}} but its immunity to darkness attacks is unfitting considering that Chandelure is weak to Ghost and Dark-type attacks.

===Origin===
Chandelure may be based on a {{wp|chandelier}} and the {{wp|hitodama}} or {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}s. It may also take inspiration from ''{{wp|chōchin-obake}}'', albeit in a modern, Western style.

====Name origin====

'''Chandelure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャンデラ''' ''Chandela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lampent}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Litwick}}.

==Biology==
Chandelure is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sentient chandelier. It has a striped, round head, and round, pupil-less yellow eyes. There is a ring of small, black spikes on top of its head with a tall, purple flame in the middle. From a black spike below its head, black arms curl upward. These arms are tipped with purple fire.

Chandelure's flames do not burn their victims physically; rather, they burn the victim's spirit. After hypnotizing its opponent by waving these flames, it absorbs the victim's spirit. It is said that any spirits that get incinerated by Chandelure's flames end up losing their way and are forced to wander the mortal world forever. Chandelure is known to reside in rundown mansions. There is a rumor that funerals were a constant occurrence for people that lived in homes that were illuminated by Chandelure in place of lights.

===Evolution===
Chandelure evolves from {{p|Lampent}} and is the final form of {{p|Litwick}}.

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

{{Clear}}

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon that burns its opponents' spirits instead of their bodies. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.''

'''PAL''': ''A Ghost- and Fire-type Pokémon that doesn't burn its opponents' bodies, but their spirits. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.''

==Trivia==
*In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Chandelure was voted the most popular [[Generation V]] Pokémon, receiving 50,943 votes. It was also the eighteenth-most popular Pokémon overall.
*While Chandelure is unobtainable in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Ingo]] indirectly mentions his Chandelure at one point while in [[Wayward Cave]], describing it as having "wielded flames with mastery".
*In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'s {{sbw|Smash Run}} game mode, Chandelure can absorb fire and darkness attacks. The fire immunity can be explained by its possible ability {{a|Flash Fire}} but its immunity to darkness attacks is unfitting considering that Chandelure is weak to Ghost and Dark-type attacks.

===Origin===
Chandelure may be based on a {{wp|chandelier}} and the {{wp|hitodama}} or {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}s. It may also take inspiration from ''{{wp|chōchin-obake}}'', albeit in a modern, Western style.

====Name origin====
Chandelure may be a combination of ''chandelier'' and ''lure''.

Chandela may be a combination of ''chandelier'' and ''candela'' (Latin for candle) or ''{{wp|candelabra}}''.

Porygon (Pokémon)

'''Porygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン''' ''Porygon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Porygon Conversion.png|thumb|left|250px|Porygon changing its appearance using {{m|Conversion}}]]
Porygon is an {{pkmn2|artificial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made completely out of programming code. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes, and it has a pink polyhedral body with a blue front, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. In 3D games, such as [[Pokémon Stadium]], it can open its beak and can detach its limbs and head from its torso. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, it has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. It was created [[History of the Pokémon world#Recent history|in 1995]] by [[Silph Co.]],<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]</ref> but documents at Silph Co. claim it was created at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] using the state-of-the-art technology of its time. Because it was created decades ago, many of its parts have since become obsolete. It was the first artificial Pokémon to have ever been created through computer programming. In ancient [[Hisui]], people were confused about Porygon and its evolutions due to them arriving through [[space-time distortion]]s and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given. It has the ability to convert its body into digital data, allowing it to travel through cyberspace. Recently, it has become more helpful inside cyberspace by searching for any suspicious data that exists. Some believed Porygon has the power to potentially travel in space despite the species not displaying that ability yet. Because it is man-made, it is generally found in computers or in labs and other {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|buildings}} where people work.

Porygon and its evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Sharpen}} was also one of its signature moves. Additionally, prior to Generation V, Porygon and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Download}} as an [[Ability]]. It can use Conversion to change its appearance to mimic another Pokémon's and has also demonstrated the ability to change color for camouflage.

In {{g|GO}}, Porygon can be obtained by completing 1/4 of the {{OBP|Ticketed event|GO|Ticketed Special Research}}, ''Decoding Porygon''.

===Evolution data===
Porygon [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} until the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{LGPE}}, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Porygon evolves into Porygon2 when exposed to an Upgrade, which evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

==In the anime==

[[File:Porygon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.png|thumb|250px|Porygon in [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]]]
===Major appearances===
Porygon's only major anime appearance was in [[EP038]]. [[Dr. Akihabara]] created two specimens, {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Porygon Zero|one}} of which was stolen by {{TRT}}, while the other one was borrowed by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Both remained with Dr. Akihabara at the end of the episode.

This episode caused more than 600 children in Japan to be transferred to hospitals by ambulance because of seizure-like symptoms they reported, due to a flashing strobe effect present at several points of the episode, and was therefore [[Banned episodes|banned]] and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon has never played a main role in the anime with its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} not having any appearances in an episode.

===Minor appearances===
Porygon made its English dub debut in a scene transition in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. A similar transition appears in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]''.

Porygon appeared in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for the English dub of ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and was featured with an English voice, making this the only time Porygon appeared with such a voice in the anime.

In the opening sequence of both ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' (the former only in the case of the dub, since said intro sequence was originally made for the latter), a Porygon can be seen floating behind a wire fence in a city.

In a shot in a "World of Pokémon" opening at the beginning of ''[[The Journey to be a Pokémon Master Begins!!]]'', a Porygon was floating above a fence, similar to the aforementioned {{pkmn|movie}}s.

Porygon made a cameo appearance in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', which featured every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s revealed to that point.

A Porygon appeared as an image in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Porygon Conversion.png|200px|thumb|Porygon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Blue's Porygon}}
{{adv|Blue}} obtained a Porygon at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', and it soon became a core member of his team. Prior to {{PAV|13}}, it evolved into a {{p|Porygon2}}.

===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
A Porygon appeared at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} in ''[[PS427|Uprooting Seedot]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', under the ownership of [[Gladion]]. It was used in a couple of battles during the [[Iki Town]] festival, helping Gladion to defeat [[Hau]] and {{adv|Moon}}.

====Pokédex entries====

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
A Porygon appeared in ''[[GDZ06|The Challenge at Celadon University!]]''.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PM011|Finish Off Team Rocket!!]]'', under the ownership of [[Erika]]'s father.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]===
Porygon pops out of a door on top of the [[Silph Co.]] building in the {{OBP|Saffron City|stage|Saffron City stage}}. It damages players that come into contact with it.

Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Porygon retains its role as a stage element in the Saffron City stage, as well as appearing as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: once holding the [[Upgrade]] into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is also the only Pokémon in a [[:Category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line]] that does not require leveling up to trigger any of its evolutions (i.e. it is possible to acquire a Porygon-Z at level 1).
* Porygon's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members were all considered fully evolved during their respective debut generations.
* Porygon is the only Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|category}} changed in Japanese. Its category in {{game|Red and Green|s}} is シージーポケモン ''CG Pokémon'', which was changed to バーチャルポケモン ''Virtual Pokémon'' from {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}} onwards.
*According to the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], Porygon was developed in the year 1995.

===Origin===
Porygon seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using digital software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. The flat shapes comprising its body are similar to the {{wp|polygon mesh}} used to create {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.

In a 1997 interview with the magazine Famimaga 64, [[Satoshi Tajiri]] stated that Porygon was created out of irony. According to him, during the development of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, people kept telling him that he was too late on making a game for the [[Game Boy]], and that he should start making games with 3D polygonal graphics for next generation consoles. As a result, he included Porygon, a Pokémon made out of polygons, in the sprite-based Pokémon Red and Green, hence the irony.<ref>ファミマガ64 (Famimaga 64), November 1997 issue (Japanese)</ref>

====Name origin====
Porygon is a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}''.

User:Minibug/List of common misconceptions

2024-08-17T22:10:43Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* Creation and design */

{{mainspace}}

This is a '''list of common misconceptions'''. A common misconception is something often incorrectly presented as true which is actually false. Each item on this list is presented as a correction.

==Overall franchise==
* [[Satoshi Tajiri]] has never been stated to have {{wp|autism}}.<ref>DidYouKnowGaming on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuvGD5tC69o Pokemon Myths DEBUNKED]</ref>

==Pokémon misconceptions==
* {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, and the {{p|Marill}} lines come from [[Generation II]], not, as often mistaken, from [[Generation III]].
** Similarly, {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are mistaken to come from [[Generation I]] due to their early appearance in the anime. Pokémon like {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Mime Jr.}} were introduced in [[Generation IV]] but are often thought to come from Generation III. Munchlax being thought to be introduced in Generation III is likely because of its appearance in [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] along with being owned by {{an|May}} in the [[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphre]] anime series. The idea for Bonsly is likely for being playable in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and being owned by {{an|Brock}} in the aforementioned series.
* Many Pokémon are thought to have different [[type|typings]] than what they have in reality. These Pokémon are:
** {{p|Psyduck}}'s line is pure {{type|Water}}, not Water- and {{type|Psychic}}, despite its name suggesting so.
** {{p|Lugia}} is a Psychic- and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. It does not have Water typing, however, it was initially intended to be Water type.
** {{p|Groudon}} is a pure Ground type and is not partially {{t|Fire}} type. However, Primal Groudon does have a Fire-typing alongside Ground-typing.
** {{p|Luxray}} is a pure {{type|Electric}}, not Electric/Dark-type as its aggressive appearance suggests.
** {{p|Lurantis}} is often mistaken for a {{t|Bug}} type; however, it is a pure Grass type.
** {{p|Runerigus}} is actually Ground/{{type|Ghost}}, not a Rock-type.
* Fans sometimes mistake which Pokémon species evolve into:
** {{p|Luvdisc}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Tauros}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Bouffalant}}. These species are unrelated.
** {{p|Slowbro}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Slowking}}; it's an alternate evolution of {{p|Slowpoke}}.
** {{p|Arbok}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Seviper}}. This misconception comes from the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] which incorrectly stated this.
* There are some Pokémon which are often mistaken for [[Legendary Pokémon]]:
** {{p|Rotom}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it was a one-time-encounter Pokémon in Generation IV, met in a unique location, and used the Legendary Pokémon theme in its encounter.
** {{p|Volcarona}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it could be met for the first time as a static encounter, in a special location, at a very high level.
** {{p|Arcanine}} is not a Legendary Pokémon. This misconception is from its [[Pokémon category]] considering it a "Legendary Pokémon" while its translated Japanese category is "Legend Pokémon". An engraving in the episode ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' depicts Arcanine alongside the three [[legendary birds]] which were the only in-universe known Legendary Pokémon at the time, further supporting this misconception.

===Creation and design===
* It is not certain that {{p|Rhydon}} was the first Pokémon designed, despite being the first Pokémon by [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation I|internal index number]] in Generation I. The interview that mentions Rhydon being one of the first Pokémon also mentions {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Lapras}} along with it as some of the first Pokémon created. {{p|Diglett}} is said to have been made up by [[Shigeki Morimoto]] when he was young, long before other Pokémon.<ref>https://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-developer-interview/</ref>
* {{p|Clefairy}} was never originally intended to be the Pokémon mascot. This is a misquotation of a passage from [[Pikachu's Global Adventure]], which discusses how Clefairy was made the main character in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga to make it more "engaging". Pikachu was chosen for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' in an attempt to appeal more to younger viewers and female viewers.
* Regular {{p|Pikachu}} has never had a black color on the tip of its tail. The only one that does is [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This is often described as a popular example of the {{wp|Mandela effect}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} is not based on a squirrel. Its name refers to squirting water, and only its English name could be mistaken for this animal. Its curled tail, however, most likely references a mythological turtle, {{wp|Minogame}}, with such a tail being one of its crucial details.
* Various Pokémon designs are often misunderstood:
** {{p|Poliwag}}'s pink mouth is often mistaken for a nose.
** {{p|Panpour}} and Simipour's eyes are not closed, as they can sometimes be seen blinking with their white eyes.
** {{p|Wurmple}} doesn't evolve based on the time of day.
** {{p|Doduo}} does have wings, according to its Pokédex entry.
** {{p|Woobat}}'s heart-shaped nose is often mistaken for its eye.
** {{p|Cradily}}'s true eyes are concealed inside the dark, crescent opening on its head rather then the yellow markings.
** The purplish variant of {{P|Kecleon}} that has been shown in ''[[EP205|Pokémon the Series]]'', the ''[[Kecleon (Chilling Reign 122)|TCG]]'', and the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]'' isn't its [[shiny]] coloration.

===In-universe origins===
* {{p|Ditto}} is not a failed clone of {{p|Mew}}. After being asked about this fan theory during an interview in 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] said he had never heard of it before.<ref>[Pokémon's Burning Questions https://web.archive.org/web/20121128050551/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/11/23/pok-233-mon-39-s-burning-questions.aspx]</ref>
** Ditto doesn't appear at the [[Cinnabar Mansion]] until {{g|Yellow}}.
** Ditto and Mew do not use the same color palettes. Mew and Mewtwo do use the same color palette in Generation I, but this is not indicative of cloning. In fact, there were only [[List of Pokémon by color palette in Generation I|10 color palettes]] available for 151 Pokémon in this generation, resulting in several Pokémon sharing the same palettes.
* {{p|Mewtwo}} is not known to have been created by the [[Team Rocket]] in the games, even though Mewtwo forms a [[sync pair]] with [[Giovanni]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] and it was created by Team Rocket in the anime and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* {{p|Lugia}} has no known connections to the [[Legendary Birds]] in the core series games unlike in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}.
* {{p|Genesect}} is not confirmed to be a revived and technologically enhanced {{p|Kabutops}}.

==In the core series games==
* The [[Master Ball]] cannot fail. In all generations, the Master Ball overrides the normal catch rate formula altogether, making it impossible for it to fail under normal circumstances, as all chance-based calculations are skipped.
* There is no minimum age required to be a Trainer in the games, as evidenced by several young child Trainers classes such as the {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|School Kid}}, {{tc|Camper}}, and {{tc|Picnicker}}, as opposed to the anime where the minimum age is said to be 10 years old.
** None of the [[player character]]s are known to be 10 years old. The youngest player character with a confirmed age is {{ga|Red}}, who is 11.
* Most Trainers are not known to own a [[Pokédex]], except the [[player characters]] and some of their [[rival]]s and [[friend]]s.
* Holding or pushing any button combinations does not enhance the chance of [[catch]]ing a Pokémon.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] are not more powerful than non-Shiny instances of the same species. It's purely aesthetic; however, being Shiny used to be correlated with a Pokémon's [[IV]]s in [[Generation II]].
* Encountering the number of Pokémon equal to that encounter type's Shiny chance does not guarantee you will encounter a Shiny, e.g. if the Shiny chance is 1/8192, encountering 8192 Pokémon does mean there is a 100% chance of encountering a Shiny within those 8192 attempts. There is no pity mechanic to force a Shiny to spawn after a certain number of attempts, and the chance of each Pokémon appearing as Shiny is independent of previous attempts.
* Pokémon deposited into {{g|Bank}}, {{g|HOME}}, or [[trade]]d online within the core series games are not guaranteed to be [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legal|legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legitimate|legitimate]]. The [[Cheating#Cheat prevention in the Pokémon games|anti-cheat]] programmed into the core series games, and provided by Nintendo's servers, is not foolproof.
** Additionally, the anti-cheat has several cases of false positives, where perfectly legitimate Pokémon are incorrectly flagged as hacked by the server anti-cheat. Examples include cross-game/cross-generation [[evolution]], such as {{p|Blissey}} or {{p|Crobat}} originating from {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, or {{p|Mismagius}} originating from [[Generation III]], which cannot be traded in certain modern games due to the filters incorrectly assuming that these Pokémon shouldn't be capable of evolving at all, due to them being unable to evolve in their [[Game of origin]].

===Kanto-based games===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
* The background music of [[Lavender Town]] was not lowered in frequency when ported from {{game|Red and Green|s}} to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
* Red's [[Generation III]] design is never referred to by the name "Fire" in official media (including in the game data, manuals, boxes, or merchandise), except "Fire", "Red", "Leaf", and "Green" are all equally suggested names for both the male and female player characters when starting a [[new game]].
* There is no anti-piracy message present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The message "By the way: If you like this game, buy it or die." comes from a widely spread release of a [[ROM hack|modified ROM]] of FireRed from a piracy group.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
* The [[Catch Combo]] only increases the Shiny chance for the next instance of that species to spawn after the previous one was caught. Stopping a [[Chaining|chain]] of captures at 31 provides no additional bonus, the bonus only continues to function if the player continues to catch additional members of that species.

===Johto-based games===
====Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
* In those games, the [[Moon Ball]] has [[List of battle glitches in Generation II#Moon Ball oversight|no increased catch rate]] on Pokémon that would evolve by any specific item such as the [[Moon Stone]] or the [[Burn Heal]]. When the Moon Ball is used, the games actually look for the Burn Heal [[List of items by index number in Generation II|index number]] (0x0A) in the wrong memory address.

===Hoenn-based games===
* {{ga|Brendan}} has either black or brown hair depending on the generation. His white hat is often interpreted as hair by fans.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
* The [[DexNav#Shiny probability|DexNav]] has a complex method of determining the Shiny chance of Pokémon that appear as a result of using it, which has lead to multiple misleading reports about the Shiny rates and mechanics over the years, resulting in incorrect methods of Shiny hunting via the DexNav.

===Unova-based games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
* This line is not found in the English dialogue: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' It is actually a fanmade translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by {{tc|Swimmer}} Joyce on {{rt|17|Unova}}: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Balls? Fufufu... Woman's secret!''). However, in the official English version, she says this instead: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''

===Galar-based games===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
* There is no mechanic (outside of [[fishing]]) that allows the player to hunt Shiny Pokémon via [[Chaining]].
* The bonus to the Shiny rate provided by [[KO]]ing 500 of a given species of Pokemon is only applied to wild [[symbol encounter]]s with the [[Brilliant Pokémon|Brilliant Aura]], and does not apply to anything else.
* The chance for a Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild to be the variation with Square sparkles is 65521/65536, and contrary to popular belief, is not a programming error.
** Other types of encounters vary, with most having a rate of 15/16 having Star sparkles, and 1/16 having Square sparkles.<ref>https://skadiv.github.io/guides/swsh/</ref> The generation methods vary in older games as well.<ref>https://lincoln-lm.github.io/JS-Finder/Tools/SquareTable.html</ref>
* It is legitimately possible for Pokémon and Eggs to have no {{OBP|memory|game mechanic}}, often thought to only be possible through [[cheating]].

===Paldea-based games===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
* Standing somewhere slightly out of reach of a [[Walking Pokémon]], such as the roof of a [[Pokémon Center]], so that it runs around constantly in an attempt to path to the player, does not count towards the evolution requirements of {{p|Pawmo}} or {{p|Bramblin}}, nor does it count towards earning the Partner [[Mark]]. Both mechanics track the amount of steps the player character takes, and the former case ignores the amount of steps the Pokémon itself takes.

==In the anime==
* {{p|Porygon}} was not the one to cause seizures in [[EP038]]. It was actually [[Ash's Pikachu]] who hit the missiles that caused the infamous explosion.
* [[Gary's Umbreon]] as an {{p|Eevee}} was not his [[First partner Pokémon]]. It was actually [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]]. This misconception likely came from [[Pokémon Yellow]] where the rival's first partner Pokémon was an Eevee and that Gary's first partner Pokémon being Blastoise was not revealed until ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' which first aired after Pokémon Yellow came out.
* [[Gary's Arcanine]] is not known to have evolved from a {{p|Growlithe}}. [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the Japanese opening, [[The Rivals]], and its English equivalent, {{so|Pokémon World}} depicts Gary with a Growlithe but the anime never confirms whether this is true or not.
* Ash obtaining the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}} was not out of pity from Brock and Misty, despite the two bringing this up twice: Once in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' and once in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'' (although the second time was likely just teasing Ash rather than actually believing this). Ash obtaining the Boulder Badge was from Brock voluntarily giving it to him while the Cascade Badge was from {{an|Daisy}} for saving the [[Cerulean Gym]]. While neither battle against Brock and Misty were officially called for Ash, he held a strong lead in both of them where {{AP|Pikachu}} was about to defeat [[Brock's Onix]] and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} fought [[Misty's Starmie]] hard enough that Starmie began running out of energy.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* This manga series generally does not have graphical violence, with the exception of Blue's Charmeleon slicing Koga's Arbok in half and Giovanni's Cloyster killing two frozen Magmar, both from the [[Red, Green & Blue arc (Adventures)|first manga arc]].

User:Minibug/List of common misconceptions

TheBestOfAllTime: /* Creation and design */

{{mainspace}}

This is a '''list of common misconceptions'''. A common misconception is something often incorrectly presented as true which is actually false. Each item on this list is presented as a correction.

==Overall franchise==
* [[Satoshi Tajiri]] has never been stated to have {{wp|autism}}.<ref>DidYouKnowGaming on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuvGD5tC69o Pokemon Myths DEBUNKED]</ref>

==Pokémon misconceptions==
* {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, and the {{p|Marill}} lines come from [[Generation II]], not, as often mistaken, from [[Generation III]].
** Similarly, {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are mistaken to come from [[Generation I]] due to their early appearance in the anime. Pokémon like {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Mime Jr.}} were introduced in [[Generation IV]] but are often thought to come from Generation III. Munchlax being thought to be introduced in Generation III is likely because of its appearance in [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] along with being owned by {{an|May}} in the [[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphre]] anime series. The idea for Bonsly is likely for being playable in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and being owned by {{an|Brock}} in the aforementioned series.
* Many Pokémon are thought to have different [[type|typings]] than what they have in reality. These Pokémon are:
** {{p|Psyduck}}'s line is pure {{type|Water}}, not Water- and {{type|Psychic}}, despite its name suggesting so.
** {{p|Lugia}} is a Psychic- and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. It does not have Water typing, however, it was initially intended to be Water type.
** {{p|Groudon}} is a pure Ground type and is not partially {{t|Fire}} type. However, Primal Groudon does have a Fire-typing alongside Ground-typing.
** {{p|Luxray}} is a pure {{type|Electric}}, not Electric/Dark-type as its aggressive appearance suggests.
** {{p|Lurantis}} is often mistaken for a {{t|Bug}} type; however, it is a pure Grass type.
** {{p|Runerigus}} is actually Ground/{{type|Ghost}}, not a Rock-type.
* Fans sometimes mistake which Pokémon species evolve into:
** {{p|Luvdisc}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Tauros}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Bouffalant}}. These species are unrelated.
** {{p|Slowbro}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Slowking}}; it's an alternate evolution of {{p|Slowpoke}}.
** {{p|Arbok}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Seviper}}. This misconception comes from the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] which incorrectly stated this.

** {{p|Groudon}} is a pure Ground type and is not partially {{t|Fire}} type. However, Primal Groudon does have a Fire-typing alongside Ground-typing.
** {{p|Luxray}} is a pure {{type|Electric}}, not Electric/Dark-type as its aggressive appearance suggests.
** {{p|Lurantis}} is often mistaken for a {{t|Bug}} type; however, it is a pure Grass type.
** {{p|Runerigus}} is actually Ground/{{type|Ghost}}, not a Rock-type.
* Fans sometimes mistake which Pokémon species evolve into:
** {{p|Luvdisc}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Tauros}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Bouffalant}}. These species are unrelated.
** {{p|Slowbro}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Slowking}}; it's an alternate evolution of {{p|Slowpoke}}.
** {{p|Arbok}} doesn't evolve into {{p|Seviper}}. This misconception comes from the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] which incorrectly stated this.
* There are some Pokémon which are often mistaken for [[Legendary Pokémon]]:
** {{p|Rotom}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it was a one-time-encounter Pokémon in Generation IV, met in a unique location, and used the Legendary Pokémon theme in its encounter.
** {{p|Volcarona}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, even though it could be met for the first time as a static encounter, in a special location, at a very high level.
** {{p|Arcanine}} is not a Legendary Pokémon. This misconception is from its [[Pokémon category]] considering it a "Legendary Pokémon" while its translated Japanese category is "Legend Pokémon". An engraving in the episode ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' depicts Arcanine alongside the three [[legendary birds]] which were the only in-universe known Legendary Pokémon at the time, further supporting this misconception.

===Creation and design===
* It is not certain that {{p|Rhydon}} was the first Pokémon designed, despite being the first Pokémon by [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|internal index number]] in Generation I. The interview that mentions Rhydon being one of the first Pokémon also mentions {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Lapras}} along with it as some of the first Pokémon created. {{p|Diglett}} is said to have been made up by [[Shigeki Morimoto]] when he was young, long before other Pokémon.<ref>https://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-developer-interview/</ref>
* {{p|Clefairy}} was never originally intended to be the Pokémon mascot. This is a misquotation of a passage from [[Pikachu's Global Adventure]], which discusses how Clefairy was made the main character in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga to make it more "engaging". Pikachu was chosen for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' in an attempt to appeal more to younger viewers and female viewers.
* Regular {{p|Pikachu}} has never had a black color on the tip of its tail. The only one that does is [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This is often described as a popular example of the {{wp|Mandela effect}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} is not based on a squirrel. Its name refers to squirting water, and only its English name could be mistaken for this animal. Its curled tail, however, most likely references a mythological turtle, {{wp|Minogame}}, with such a tail being one of its crucial details.
* Various Pokémon designs are often misunderstood:
** {{p|Poliwag}}'s pink mouth is often mistaken for a nose.
** {{p|Panpour}} and Simipour's eyes are not closed, as they can sometimes be seen blinking with their white eyes.
** {{p|Wurmple}} doesn't evolve based on the time of day.
** {{p|Doduo}} does have wings, according to its Pokédex entry.

===In-universe origins===
* {{p|Ditto}} is not a failed clone of {{p|Mew}}. After being asked about this fan theory during an interview in 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] said he had never heard of it before.<ref>[Pokémon's Burning Questions https://web.archive.org/web/20121128050551/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/11/23/pok-233-mon-39-s-burning-questions.aspx]</ref>
** Ditto doesn't appear at the [[Cinnabar Mansion]] until {{g|Yellow}}.
** Ditto and Mew do not use the same color palettes. Mew and Mewtwo do use the same color palette in Generation I, but this is not indicative of cloning. In fact, there were only [[List of Pokémon by color palette in Generation I|10 color palettes]] available for 151 Pokémon in this generation, resulting in several Pokémon sharing the same palettes.
* {{p|Mewtwo}} is not known to have been created by the [[Team Rocket]] in the games, even though Mewtwo forms a [[sync pair]] with [[Giovanni]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] and it was created by Team Rocket in the anime and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* {{p|Lugia}} has no known connections to the [[Legendary Birds]] in the core series games unlike in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}.
* {{p|Genesect}} is not confirmed to be a revived and technologically enhanced {{p|Kabutops}}.

==In the core series games==
* The [[Master Ball]] cannot fail. In all generations, the Master Ball overrides the normal catch rate formula altogether, making it impossible for it to fail under normal circumstances, as all chance-based calculations are skipped.
* There is no minimum age required to be a Trainer in the games, as evidenced by several young child Trainers classes such as the {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|School Kid}}, {{tc|Camper}}, and {{tc|Picnicker}}, as opposed to the anime where the minimum age is said to be 10 years old.
** None of the [[player character]]s are known to be 10 years old. The youngest player character with a confirmed age is {{ga|Red}}, who is 11.
* Most Trainers are not known to own a [[Pokédex]], except the [[player characters]] and some of their [[rival]]s and [[friend]]s.
* Holding or pushing any button combinations does not enhance the chance of [[catch]]ing a Pokémon.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] are not more powerful than non-Shiny instances of the same species. It's purely aesthetic; however, being Shiny used to be correlated with a Pokémon's [[IV]]s in [[Generation II]].
* Encountering the number of Pokémon equal to that encounter type's Shiny chance does not guarantee you will encounter a Shiny, e.g. if the Shiny chance is 1/8192, encountering 8192 Pokémon does mean there is a 100% chance of encountering a Shiny within those 8192 attempts. There is no pity mechanic to force a Shiny to spawn after a certain number of attempts, and the chance of each Pokémon appearing as Shiny is independent of previous attempts.
* Pokémon deposited into {{g|Bank}}, {{g|HOME}}, or [[trade]]d online within the core series games are not guaranteed to be [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legal|legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Legitimate|legitimate]]. The [[Cheating#Cheat prevention in the Pokémon games|anti-cheat]] programmed into the core series games, and provided by Nintendo's servers, is not foolproof.
** Additionally, the anti-cheat has several cases of false positives, where perfectly legitimate Pokémon are incorrectly flagged as hacked by the server anti-cheat. Examples include cross-game/cross-generation [[evolution]], such as {{p|Blissey}} or {{p|Crobat}} originating from {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, or {{p|Mismagius}} originating from [[Generation III]], which cannot be traded in certain modern games due to the filters incorrectly assuming that these Pokémon shouldn't be capable of evolving at all, due to them being unable to evolve in their [[Game of origin]].

===Kanto-based games===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
* The background music of [[Lavender Town]] was not lowered in frequency when ported from {{game|Red and Green|s}} to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
* Red's [[Generation III]] design is never referred to by the name "Fire" in official media (including in the game data, manuals, boxes, or merchandise), except "Fire", "Red", "Leaf", and "Green" are all equally suggested names for both the male and female player characters when starting a [[new game]].
* There is no anti-piracy message present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The message "By the way: If you like this game, buy it or die." comes from a widely spread release of a [[ROM hack|modified ROM]] of FireRed from a piracy group.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
* The [[Catch Combo]] only increases the Shiny chance for the next instance of that species to spawn after the previous one was caught. Stopping a [[Chaining|chain]] of captures at 31 provides no additional bonus, the bonus only continues to function if the player continues to catch additional members of that species.

===Johto-based games===
====Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
* In those games, the [[Moon Ball]] has [[List of battle glitches in Generation II#Moon Ball oversight|no increased catch rate]] on Pokémon that would evolve by any specific item such as the [[Moon Stone]] or the [[Burn Heal]]. In fact, the games look for the Burn Heal [[List of items by index number (Generation II)|index number]] (0x0A) in the wrong memory address.

===Hoenn-based games===
* {{ga|Brendan}} has either black or brown hair depending on the generation. His white hat is often interpreted as hair by fans.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
* The [[DexNav#Shiny probability|DexNav]] has a complex method of determining the Shiny chance of Pokémon that appear as a result of using it, which has lead to multiple misleading reports about the Shiny rates and mechanics over the years, resulting in incorrect methods of Shiny hunting via the DexNav.

===Unova-based games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
* This line is not found in the English dialogue: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' It is actually a fanmade translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by {{tc|Swimmer}} Joyce on {{rt|17|Unova}}: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Balls? Fufufu... Woman's secret!''). However, in the official English version, she says this instead: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''

===Galar-based games===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
* There is no mechanic (outside of [[fishing]]) that allows the player to hunt Shiny Pokémon via [[Chaining]].
* The bonus to the Shiny rate provided by [[KO]]ing 500 of a given species of Pokemon is only applied to wild [[symbol encounter]]s with the [[Brilliant Pokémon|Brilliant Aura]], and does not apply to anything else.
* The chance for a Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild to be the variation with Square sparkles is 65521/65536, and contrary to popular belief, is not a programming error.
** Other types of encounters vary, with most having a rate of 15/16 having Star sparkles, and 1/16 having Square sparkles.<ref>https://skadiv.github.io/guides/swsh/</ref> The generation methods vary in older games as well.<ref>https://lincoln-lm.github.io/JS-Finder/Tools/SquareTable.html</ref>
* It is legitimately possible for Pokémon and Eggs to have no {{OBP|memory|game mechanic}}, often thought to only be possible through [[cheating]].

===Paldea-based games===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
* Standing somewhere slightly out of reach of a [[Walking Pokémon]], such as the roof of a [[Pokémon Center]], so that it runs around constantly in an attempt to path to the player, does not count towards the evolution requirements of {{p|Pawmo}} or {{p|Bramblin}}, nor does it count towards earning the Partner [[Mark]]. Both mechanics track the amount of steps the player character takes, and the former case ignores the amount of steps the Pokémon itself takes.

==In the anime==
* {{p|Porygon}} was not the one to cause seizures in [[EP038]]. It was actually [[Ash's Pikachu]] who hit the missiles that caused the infamous explosion.
* [[Gary's Umbreon]] as an {{p|Eevee}} was not his [[First partner Pokémon]]. It was actually [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]]. This misconception likely came from [[Pokémon Yellow]] where the rival's first partner Pokémon was an Eevee and that Gary's first partner Pokémon being Blastoise was not revealed until ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' which first aired after Pokémon Yellow came out.
* [[Gary's Arcanine]] is not known to have evolved from a {{p|Growlithe}}. [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the Japanese opening, [[The Rivals]], and its English equivalent, {{so|Pokémon World}} depicts Gary with a Growlithe but the anime never confirms whether this is true or not.
* Ash obtaining the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}} was not out of pity from Brock and Misty, despite the two bringing this up twice: Once in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' and once in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'' (although the second time was likely just teasing Ash rather than actually believing this). Ash obtaining the Boulder Badge was from Brock voluntarily giving it to him while the Cascade Badge was from {{an|Daisy}} for saving the [[Cerulean Gym]]. While neither battle against Brock and Misty were officially called for Ash, he held a strong lead in both of them where {{AP|Pikachu}} was about to defeat [[Brock's Onix]] and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} fought [[Misty's Starmie]] hard enough that Starmie began running out of energy.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* This manga series generally does not have graphical violence, with the exception of Blue's Charmeleon slicing Koga's Arbok in half and Giovanni's Cloyster killing two frozen Magmar, both from the [[Red, Green & Blue arc (Adventures)|first manga arc]].

Mega Evolution

TheBestOfAllTime: Made the image slightly bigger

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario.]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "'''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref>

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] region.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
[[File:Diancie Mega Evolution.png|thumb|200px|Mega Diancie]]
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[Competitive Stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

==In animation==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
** The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in ''[[XY051|When Light and Dark Collide!]]'' as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.

* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

In [[Unified Minds]] and [[Cosmic Eclipse]], two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} [[Pokémon-GX]] were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
** Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation VI]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
*No Mega Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
*{{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all Pokémon, at 230.
*{{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
*{{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
*{{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
*Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
**{{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
**{{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
**{{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
**{{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
**{{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
**{{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
**{{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main {{pkmn|anime}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} are currently unusable.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully-evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} and {{p|Iron Valiant}} bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
* The [[Pokédex]] description for Roaring Moon in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a trainer and harmless entries.

Mega Evolution

[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|200px|Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario.]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "'''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref>

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] region.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
[[File:Diancie Mega Evolution.png|thumb|200px|Mega Diancie]]
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

|}
|}

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[Competitive Stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

==In animation==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
** The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in ''[[XY051|When Light and Dark Collide!]]'' as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.
* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* [[Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]] achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.
* [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Kangaskhan}} Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'' to battle [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Scizor}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

In [[Unified Minds]] and [[Cosmic Eclipse]], two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} [[Pokémon-GX]] were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
** Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation VI]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
*No Mega Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
*{{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all Pokémon, at 230.
*{{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
*{{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
*{{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
*Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
**{{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
**{{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
**{{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
**{{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
**{{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
**{{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
**{{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main {{pkmn|anime}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} are currently unusable.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully-evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} and {{p|Iron Valiant}} bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
* The [[Pokédex]] description for Roaring Moon in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a trainer and harmless entries.

Mega Evolution

2024-07-24T00:53:47Z

TheBestOfAllTime: /* In the core series games */

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "'''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref>

==In the core series games==
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] region.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
[[File:Diancie Mega Evolution.png|thumb|200px|Mega Diancie]]
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

|}
|}

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[Competitive Stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

==In animation==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''.

* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
** The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in ''[[XY051|When Light and Dark Collide!]]'' as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.

* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.
* [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Kangaskhan}} Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'' to battle [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Scizor}}.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{TP|Red|Charizard}} was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]]. This situation was the first public appearance of Mega Charizard X and served as its official reveal.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Mega Rayquaza PG.png|thumb|250px|Mega Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
A Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', under the ownership of [[Player character|a Trainer]], who used it to destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta|a giant meteor]]. Afterwards, it battled against a {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteor.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
A Mega {{p|Gyarados}} appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of [[Lysandre]]. He used it to battle {{ga|Calem}}'s {{p|Xerneas}}, but was quickly defeated.

A Mega {{p|Swampert}} and a Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} appeared in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]'', belonging to {{ga|May}} and [[Zinnia]], respectively. In the same episode, May Mega Evolved {{p|Rayquaza}} after catching it.

In ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', {{ga|Green}} used a Mega {{p|Blastoise}} against {{ga|Elaine}}'s {{p|Mewtwo}}. Despite its best efforts, Blastoise was no match for the {{pkmn|category|Genetic Pokémon}}'s power.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

In [[Unified Minds]] and [[Cosmic Eclipse]], two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} [[Pokémon-GX]] were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
** Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation VI]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
*No Mega Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
*{{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all Pokémon, at 230.
*{{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
*{{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
*{{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
*Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
**{{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
**{{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
**{{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
**{{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
**{{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
**{{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
**{{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main {{pkmn|anime}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} are currently unusable.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully-evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} and {{p|Iron Valiant}} bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
* The [[Pokédex]] description for Roaring Moon in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a trainer and harmless entries.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name of this [[move]] is based on a term used in {{wp|Chinese martial arts}}, especially involving internal energies and use of explosive force. In Japanese, the term {{wp|fa jin|fajin}}/hakkei often translates to "release internal power".
* Force Palm is the only {{type|Fighting}} move capable of causing {{status|paralysis}} that is accessible to the player, as the only other option, {{m|Combat Torque}}, is exclusive to the {{p|Revavroom}} in Caph Squad's [[Starmobile]].

Mega Evolution

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|200px|Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario.]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] region.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>

However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>

===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[Competitive Stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

==In animation==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
** The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in ''[[XY051|When Light and Dark Collide!]]'' as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.
* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* [[Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]] achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]].

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

In [[Unified Minds]] and [[Cosmic Eclipse]], two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} [[Pokémon-GX]] were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
** Gallade is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that [[Evolution|evolves]] from exposure to an [[Evolution stone]].
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Audino}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation V]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation VI]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
*No Mega Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}} has the highest base HP stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
*{{p|Aggron|Mega Aggron}} and {{p|Steelix|Mega Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all Pokémon, at 230.
*{{p|Latias|Mega Latias}} has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
*{{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}} and {{p|Aerodactyl|Mega Aerodactyl}} are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
*{{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Mawile}} have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
*Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
**{{p|Beedrill|Mega Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
**{{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}: 90 → 70 Defense
**{{p|Ampharos|Mega Ampharos}}: 55 → 45 Speed
**{{p|Heracross|Mega Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
**{{p|Sableye|Mega Sableye}}: 50 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Camerupt|Mega Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
**{{p|Garchomp|Mega Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
**{{p|Abomasnow|Mega Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
**{{p|Diancie|Mega Diancie}}: 150 → 110 Defense & 150 → 110 Special Defense
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main {{pkmn|anime}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} are currently unusable.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully-evolved [[Kanto]] [[first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} and {{p|Iron Valiant}} bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
* The [[Pokédex]] description for Roaring Moon in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a trainer and harmless entries.
