The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==Jessie, James, and Meowth==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

==={{series2|Original}} and {{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Kanto, Orange Archipelago, Johto, and Hoenn====
The original motto was used from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. The original background music was used until the end of the {{series|original}}. The new music debuted in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''.

|}

Note that the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[S01|first season]]. In many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" instead of just the singular "fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying his name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since. There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music.

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light." This motto was also adapted into the songs [[Team Rocket Forever]] and [[Double Trouble]]

Team Rocket used this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

This motto was also used in [[SM042]], where Team Rocket had followed Ash and {{ashcl}} to Kanto during their extracurricular activity.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
During the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto. This motto was used from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''.

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again. This motto was used from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''.

| '''ソーナンス:''' {{tt|ソーナンス|Sōnansu}} || '''''Sonans:''' {{tt|Sōnansu!|Of course!}}'' || '''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a twerpish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

Starting in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', the motto is altered to the situation.

;''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff.

:'''James:''' "James's".
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry, make it double!

;Good version
In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', when Team Rocket decides to help Ash, they use a different version of their motto. This was in the [[dub]]bed version only, as the original Japanese version had them do their regular motto.

:'''Jessie:''' If that [[Ash Ketchum|kid]] thinks we're here for trouble...
:'''James:''' ...we're certainly going to burst his bubble!
:'''Jessie:''' Instead of causing tribulation...
:'''James:''' ...we've undergone a transformation!
:'''Jessie:''' Though it's way outside our usual range...
:'''James:''' ...we're going to do something nice for a change!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Up till now Team Rocket's been quite unscrupulous!
:'''James:''' Being good good guys for once would be super-dupulous!
:'''Meowth:''' That's right!

====Meowth filling in for Jessie or James====
{{incomplete|section|Lyrics}}
On many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP017|Island of Giant Pokemon]]'', when Meowth, along with {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}, were separated from Jessie and James. When they discover [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}, who were separated from their Trainer as well, Meowth attempted to recite the motto, but failed because Jessie and James weren't around. In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', where Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by {{ashfr}}, they said their motto. Meanwhile, they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'', Jessie and Meowth said the motto together, surprising Ash and his friends while they were escorting a lost {{p|Lapras}} back to the ocean. James's absence was later explained by him being waiting further ahead, ready to catch the group off-guard in case they got away.

==Butch and Cassidy==
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

|}{{-}}

===Sinnoh motto===
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!

:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

==Ripoffs==
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". In ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself — "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" — with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume, the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction; instead, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them. But even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto, angering them once again.

In ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', the [[Mirror World]]'s version of [[Mirror Team Rocket|Team Rocket]] performed their own motto, reflecting their heroic characteristics.

;''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' motto
The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make great epics of hate and love!

==Blasting off==
[[File:Blast off XY.png|thumb|240px|right|Team Rocket's blasting off again!]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which was dubbed "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again!", or simply "We're blasting off again!"{{tt|*|Exclusively this in the TPCi dub}} before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In some episodes, they said their catchphrase while finishing each other's sentences or when it's told by one character or two.

Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not scream their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jetpacks were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.

Sometimes, when Team Rocket blasts off, they shout something other than "We're blasting off again!", such as in ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'' when instead they shouted "We're blasting off family style!", or ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', where they shouted "There's nothing sweet about blasting off! '''''AND WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!'''''". There are also occasions where they do not blast off per se, but they disappear with the trademark twinkle by other means such as running away. In some very rare instances, they blast off without a twinkle, as seen in [[EP002|their debut]], ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'' where they fell into the sea instead, ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where they get their hair and fur cut short by a Scyther, or ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', where they were relaxed by a {{p|Flabébé}}'s {{m|Aromatherapy}}.

Starting from ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', rather than blasting off, {{an|Bewear}} would unexpectedly appear and take the trio away; Jessie, James, and Meowth would cry, {{tt|「何この感じ！？」|”Nani kono kanji!?”}} ("What's with this feeling!?") in response, which was dubbed as "Off with a new blast!". In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', they were about to blast off, only for Bewear to jump into the air and catch them before the 'ping' sound. ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' was the first episode where the trio successfully blasted off without interference, although Bewear was able to catch them before they hit the ground.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
** However, it was also said in the [[DP001|first episode]] in the [[Diamond and Pearl series]] but they didn't do the full motto.
* In every one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]]' English dub, he was the one who said the opening line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was dubbed with the Cassidy saying the first line like how it is was in Japanese.
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is. This quote is also the origin of the title for ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* The first two lines of the motto were mentioned and said by the Fortune Teller as a warning in an episode of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a show that was also dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (and also based on a Nintendo franchise). The episode the Fortune Teller appeared in was "The Fofa Factor".
* In the [[Pokémon in Finland|Finnish dub]], the original motto was different than usual in Team Rocket's first two appearances (''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' and ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''), where it was translated directly from English without rhyming. The rhyming motto was used for the first time in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.
* In the [[Pokémon in South Korea|Korean]] dub of the Sun & Moon series, the expressions "{{tt|화안류오 수월폐화|花顔柳腰羞月閉花}}", "{{tt|비룡승운 영자삽상|飛竜乗雲英姿颯爽}}", and "{{tt|일련탁생 연대책임|一蓮托生　連帯責任}}", which are direct {{wp|hanja}} to {{wp|hangul}} translations of the Japanese motto, are given explanations at the bottom of the screen due to the difficulty in understanding these phrases.
* Toward the end of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Trainer Video]], the original motto is recited by various kids. It omits "Prepare for trouble; Make it double," and Meowth's name, and the kids make various mistakes before correcting themselves.

'''Budew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スボミー''' ''Subomie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Roselia}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]], which evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Budew is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib, and has triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot. It keeps its buds closed during the cold winter, but opens them again in the spring and releases pollen. The pollen it scatters induces harsh sneezing and runny noses. It lives near clean pools and ponds.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese title of ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', ''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} VS {{tt|Subomie|Budew}}! {{tt|Hikari's|Dawn's}} First Battle!!'', caused confusion upon release since Budew had not yet been revealed to the public.
* Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line whose English name differs from its Japanese name.

===Origin===
Budew is based on a {{wp|rose}} bud.

====Name origin====
Budew is a combination of ''bud'' and ''dew''.

Subomie is a corruption of 蕾 ''tsubomi'' (flower bud).

'''Budew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スボミー''' ''Subomie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Roselia}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]], which evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Budew is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib, and has triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot. It keeps its buds closed during the cold winter, but opens them again in the spring and releases pollen. The pollen it scatters induces harsh sneezing and runny noses. It lives near clean pools and ponds.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese title of ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', ''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} VS {{tt|Subomie|Budew}}! {{tt|Hikari's|Dawn's}} First Battle!!'', caused confusion upon release since Budew had not yet been revealed to the public.
* Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line whose English name differs from its Japanese name.

===Origin===
Budew is based on a {{wp|rose}} bud.

====Name origin====
Budew is a combination of ''bud'' and ''dew''.

Subomie is a corruption of 蕾 ''tsubomi'' (flower bud).

TheDoctorPotter: Still need to have Roselia holding a Rose Incense to get Budew

TheDoctorPotter: /* My shinies */

{| class="roundy"
| NO EDITING UNLESS YOU'RE ME.
|}
Welcome to my page... such as it is.
I'm TheDoctorPotter, and I'm a relatively new user to Bulbapedia: I joined sometime around mid-2016. Most of my edits have been to add missing bits of information to existing pages, or to correct errors if I see one. Ever since I was granted the power to make new pages... I've made about three, which are all just intended as redirects to existing pages. (You're welcome, people who just wanted to know why Pokémon call for help and didn't know that's called an SOS battle. I kid, of course, but that's one of the redirects I made.)
I'm an English speaker, and I've seen all the episodes of the anime dub and have played Pokémon Diamond (though I no longer have it), Pokémon Omega Ruby, and Pokémon Moon. So, yeah, nice to meet ya, hopefully my page didn't actively depress you, and have a great day!

Honestly, if you came to my page expecting awesomeness and cool visuals... sorry. I'm no good at that. No idea how to do it in this editor. But I'll try!

== What I'll edit/do ==
Like I said, mostly all I'll do is add in bits that I think should be on pages - like trivia! I love trivia. Did you know that if the DNA in your body was uncoiled and strung end to end it'd stretch twice the length of the Solar System? *erhem* Yes, I know, that's not Pokémon-related, but STILL. Trivia is awesome. If I find any trivia online about a thing in Pokémon or a Pokémon that isn't in Bulbapedia...
I WILL PUT IT THERE.

== Favorite stuff! ==
*Books books books books books. Can't get enough of them.
** CASE IN POINT! My username is TheDoctor POTTER. ''Harry Potter'' is the '''BEST SERIES EVER'''
** ''Percy Jackson''
** ''A Song of Ice and Fire''
** et cetera.
*Not many TV shows, but some.
** ''Doctor Who'' (*hem hem* '''TheDoctor''')
** ''Merlin''
** ''Sherlock''
** ''Avatar: The Last Airbender''/''Legend of Korra''
** and of course, ''Pokémon''

== My shinies ==
Yveltal, Charizard, Mimikyu, Vanilluxe, Ditto, Bulbasaur, and Blastoise.

Talk:Lunala (Pokémon)

2017-03-08T15:44:10Z

TheDoctorPotter: /* Sun cosmoem */

==Russian name==
Hello could someone add that this line to the in other languages section?

|ru=Лунала ''Lunala''|rumeaning=Transcription of English name

--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 13:49, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
==Name Origin==
Given that this Pokemon has that collar thing similar to dracuLA, the "La" in it's name may also be derived from that.
Luna - latin for moon
+ La - dracuLA

[[User:Steamygoreng|Steamygoreng]] ([[User talk:Steamygoreng|talk]]) 22:44, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
:Given it's clearly based on a bat, this seems plausible to me as well. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 06:56, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
::"la" is hardly an iconic part of "Dracula". That's not enough to say with any real confidence that that's part of the name. (And the other stuff isn't strongly evocative of Dracula/vampires either.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:05, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

I strongly believe its name comes from luna, meaning moon in Spanish, and lunula, a pendant from the Bronze Age that bears a striking resemblance to its head, wings and tail. Lunula also translates to "little moon." {{unsigned|TheMichromeBlade}}

== Moon weak to Dark? ==

Is it worth mentioning in the trivia section that despite being based off of the moon, Lunala has a double weakness to Dark-type moves? I know Dark-type is referred to as Evil-type in Japanese, but still, is that worth mentioning? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:35, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:I would say no. There's no reason something moon-based CAN'T be weak to Dark. After all, {{p|Lunatone}} is as well. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 02:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

== Error ==

"Along with {{p|Solgaleo}}, it was initially revealed in May 2016, but officially revealed on June 2, 2016."
This sentence in the opening states that Lunala was revealed twice. Is that what it is supposed to say, or is it an error? [[User:Litwick96|Litwick]][[User Talk:Litwick96|96]] 13:34, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

==Name==
I think that the "ala" part comes from galaxy with the thing on it's head {{unsigned|Dean624}}
:That's not very likely. It's not a convenient or really unique/identifiable part of "galaxy" to pull from the word. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
::I think the name might come from "Lunula[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunula]" actually. Lunula has a variety of meanings but most of them are related to the moon in shape or design. One of them was even a collar (see the gold lunula page[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_lunula]) in the bronze age and Lunala has a similar looking crescent moon collar. Seems somewhat likely imo [[User:Zeb|Zeb]] ([[User talk:Zeb|talk]]) 15:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
I think it related to the fact that she is a girl like Luna.
Or maybe it is a mix of Luna and Galaxy {{unsigned|Xerneas716}}

== Anatomical Reference ==

I created a Bulbapedia account just to post this.
There is an Anatomical term called: Lunula.

It is defined as a Pale, Half Moon-shaped area at the base of nails.

One thing tipped me off that this could have been part of the origin since the names are so similar.

Another thing is the "half-moon," tid bit.

Once I came on here to check it out was Lunala's full moon form. It's pale. Like the definition, despite it being a full-moon form. {{unsigned|Keahi}}
:They're similar because they come from the same basic concept. That's pretty much it. Not because Lunala is inspired by "lunula". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:16, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

==Origin==
So, I was doin' some research on possible origins to Lunala and I found this {{wp|Itzpapalotl}} thing. Most of its description matches Lunala really well: Skeletal being, possibly being a bat, Invisibility Cloak, Star Goddess/Demon, Wings ornated with blades and used to rule over "Tamoanchan, the paradise of victims of infant mortality.".

Well, this kinda points that Lunala might be a interpretation of this deity, and that her design was made after it. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 13:11, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

== Sun cosmoem ==

Maybe we should add evolve cosmoem as a availability option for sun as people can get a cosmog in game that evolves in the opposite legendary. {{unsigned|Gabain1993}}
:I don't think we do evolve/breed unless that's the only option. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 12:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
::You can't actually evolve the Cosmog you get in post-game Moon into a Solgaleo, or the Cosmog you get in post-game Sun into a Lunala. You just get a second one of the box legendary. [[User:TheDoctorPotter|TheDoctorPotter]] ([[User talk:TheDoctorPotter|talk]]) 15:44, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

{{bulbanews/2|New smartphone game Pokémon Co-Master announced for Japan|Pokémon Duel released internationally for iOS, Android}}
'''Pokémon Duel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコマスター''' ''Pokémon Comaster'') is a spin-off Pokémon board game for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android}}. It was released in Japan for Android devices on April 12, 2016 and for iOS on April 19, 2016, and was later released in English in North America, Europe, and Australia on January 24, 2017. The game is {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}}. In order to give the game the world's strongest AI, The Pokémon Company has partnered with [https://heroz.co.jp/ HEROZ], whose app [http://shogiwars.heroz.jp/ Shogi Wars] is known for being able to defeat and challenge professional players.

Pokémon Duel is a single-player game that features online battles.

==Blurb==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game that uses Pokémon figures. Build a deck with your favorite figures and then leap into a League Match! Compete with players from around the world for a chance to enter the top League rankings in League Matches. You'll fight your rivals in real time! Win duels, get all kinds of cool figures and items, and make your deck stronger!

The rules are simple! The object is to be the first player to get one of your figures to your opponent's goal. How will you get to the goal? You'll need to carefully choose your route! In duels, you and your opponent take turns moving your figures. Set up a strategic formation and attack your opponent, or simply block their path—it's all about tactics! Plan your strategy and defeat your opponents in this game of cat and mouse!

In duels, your deck is composed of 6 Pokémon figures. There are all kinds of figures, each with different moves and abilities. Keep this in mind as you build your own custom deck!

Make use of your custom deck and the AI! The AI is a reliable ally who will determine good moves and take your turn for you. Make full use of the AI and crush your opponents!

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game based on the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. Players collect and build their own deck from a large range of figures with different characteristics. For the basic rules of the game, see [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game#Mechanics|Pokémon Trading Figure Game→Mechanics]].

Players may transfer their game data to another device. Within the Options menu, setting a transfer password will generate a transfer ID; when the password and ID are entered into the Game Data Transfer option of another device, the player's save data and Gems will be moved to the new device. After data is transferred from a device, a new save file under a new account must be made. If data is transferred from iOS to Android or vice versa, Gems will not be transferred.

===Changes from the Trading Figure Game===
* {{TFG|Trainer card}}s are replaced by Plates, which have no chance of failing; Trainer figures are removed because of this.
* Figures of evolved Pokémon may be evolved, increasing the damage of the evolved Pokemon's moves.
* Figures use the Pokémon's types from the Pokémon games rather than the types from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* {{TFG|Pokémon Power}}s have been renamed {{Abilities}}.
* A figure's action wheel can be altered by leveling up the figure. The size of actions can be increased, thus decreasing the size of the Miss section of that figure.

===Shop===
A shop run by Luca's sister [[Tia]] sells Boosters, Plates, and figures. The Boosters and Plates are bought with Gems and figures are bought with Materials. Figures can also be sold to the shop for Coins.

===Metals===
There are three types of Metals: Rare Metals (blue), Cubes (green), and Ingots (gold).
* Rare Metals are used to grant large sums of experience points to your Figures via Fusion in order to level them up. The higher the rarity of the Rare Metal, the more experience points they will grant.
** Rare Rare Metals give 4500 XP.
** Common Rare Metals give 500 XP.
* Cubes are used to increase the power of an attack of your choice. Cubes can only be used on figures with the same rarity (for example, EX-rare figures need EX-rare Cubes to power up their attacks). The limit of power which you can add is 10 points divided as you wish among the moves. These cannot be used on Purple, Blue, or Red sections. They also cannot be used on moves with attack strength of 0.
* Ingots can be sold directly for money via the Exchange Coins section of the shop. The higher the rarity of the Ingot, the higher value for which it can be sold.
** EX-rare Ingots have a value of 35,000 coins.
** Rare Ingots have a value of 15,000 coins.
** Uncommon Ingots have a value of 3,500 coins.
** Common Ingots have a value of 1,800 coins.

===Gems===
Gems can be purchased with real money from the Gem Counter run by [[Marabelle]]. Each pack of Gems has a point value that is deducted from a 50000 point pool. Gems cannot be purchased if the player does not have enough points and the pool is reset at the beginning of every month.

{{bulbanews/2|New smartphone game Pokémon Co-Master announced for Japan|Pokémon Duel released internationally for iOS, Android}}
'''Pokémon Duel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコマスター''' ''Pokémon Comaster'') is a spin-off Pokémon board game for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android}}. It was released in Japan for Android devices on April 12, 2016 and for iOS on April 19, 2016, and was later released in English in North America, Europe, and Australia on January 24, 2017. The game is {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}}. In order to give the game the world's strongest AI, The Pokémon Company has partnered with [https://heroz.co.jp/ HEROZ], whose app [http://shogiwars.heroz.jp/ Shogi Wars] is known for being able to defeat and challenge professional players.

Pokémon Duel is a single-player game that features online battles.

==Blurb==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game that uses Pokémon figures. Build a deck with your favorite figures and then leap into a League Match! Compete with players from around the world for a chance to enter the top League rankings in League Matches. You'll fight your rivals in real time! Win duels, get all kinds of cool figures and items, and make your deck stronger!

The rules are simple! The object is to be the first player to get one of your figures to your opponent's goal. How will you get to the goal? You'll need to carefully choose your route! In duels, you and your opponent take turns moving your figures. Set up a strategic formation and attack your opponent, or simply block their path—it's all about tactics! Plan your strategy and defeat your opponents in this game of cat and mouse!

In duels, your deck is composed of 6 Pokémon figures. There are all kinds of figures, each with different moves and abilities. Keep this in mind as you build your own custom deck!

Make use of your custom deck and the AI! The AI is a reliable ally who will determine good moves and take your turn for you. Make full use of the AI and crush your opponents!

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game based on the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. Players collect and build their own deck from a large range of figures with different characteristics. For the basic rules of the game, see [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game#Mechanics|Pokémon Trading Figure Game→Mechanics]].

Players may transfer their game data to another device. Within the Options menu, setting a transfer password will generate a transfer ID; when the password and ID are entered into the Game Data Transfer option of another device, the player's save data and Gems will be moved to the new device. After data is transferred from a device, a new save file under a new account must be made. If data is transferred from iOS to Android or vice versa, Gems will not be transferred.

===Changes from the Trading Figure Game===
* {{TFG|Trainer card}}s are replaced by Plates, which have no chance of failing; Trainer figures are removed because of this.
* Figures of evolved Pokémon may be evolved, increasing the damage of the evolved Pokemon's moves.
* Figures use the Pokémon's types from the Pokémon games rather than the types from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* {{TFG|Pokémon Power}}s have been renamed {{Abilities}}.
* A figure's action wheel can be altered by leveling up the figure. The size of actions can be increased, thus decreasing the size of the Miss section of that figure.

===Shop===
A shop run by Luca's sister [[Tia]] sells Boosters, Plates, and figures. The Boosters and Plates are bought with Gems and figures are bought with Materials. Figures can also be sold to the shop for Coins.

===Metals===
There are three types of Metals: Rare Metals (blue), Cubes (green), and Ingots (gold).
* Rare Metals are used to grant large sums of experience points to your Figures via Fusion in order to level them up. The higher the rarity of the Rare Metal, the more experience points they will grant.
** Rare Rare Metals give 4500 XP.
* Cubes are used to increase the power of an attack of your choice. Cubes can only be used on figures with the same rarity (for example, EX-rare figures need EX-rare Cubes to power up their attacks). The limit of power which you can add is 10 points divided as you wish among the moves. These cannot be used on Purple, Blue, or Red sections. They also cannot be used on moves with attack strength of 0.
* Ingots can be sold directly for money via the Exchange Coins section of the shop. The higher the rarity of the Ingot, the higher value for which it can be sold.
** EX-rare Ingots have a value of 35,000 coins.
** Rare Ingots have a value of 15,000 coins.
** Uncommon Ingots have a value of 3,500 coins.
** Common Ingots have a value of 1,800 coins.

===Gems===
Gems can be purchased with real money from the Gem Counter run by [[Marabelle]]. Each pack of Gems has a point value that is deducted from a 50000 point pool. Gems cannot be purchased if the player does not have enough points and the pool is reset at the beginning of every month.

We really need some guild lines on what a 'recurring' pokemon is. Groudon, Kyogre, Zekrom, Reshiram and Florges only appeared in two or three parters.

:Ash's Caterpie was only in 2 episodes wild (counting the episode it was captured), and if I recall correctly there's usually a minimum of three episodes preferred for a Pokémon to be considered recurring (or at least not have both episodes be back-to-back continuations of each other).

I definitely think that Florges, Z2, and Malamar need to be split, as they are all given more personality and characterization than many human characters who have their own articles. I'm also fine with Lugia and Wooper getting their own articles, though I find that less urgent than Florges, Z2, and Malamar. We may also want to consider splitting Wynaut, Spoink, and Hippopotas. Wynaut is a running gag similar to Jigglypuff with its own personality, while Spoink and Hippopotas both function as the main character in their respective episodes, and are easily more like characters of the day than [[Nero]] (besides the obvious fact that they appear more than once; my point is, their character is more fleshed out). The same could be said for several other Pokemon without pages IMO, such as Snover from The Lonely Snover.

:There is no reason to believe it belongs to Samson or anyone else, except the opening, which is considered non-canon. If a future episode confirms it belongs to Samson, it will be removed from this page. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 22:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
::Ok. The ending [[Pose]] also hinted as well that the Komala ''might'' belong to Samson Oak. In it, it showed everyone with their Pokémon and Samson Oak with a Komala in his section of the ending. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
:::That could just be referring to the fact that it is used at the bell ringer at the Pokemon School and Samson Oak is the Principal of the school, or Samson could catch it in the future, but for now, there is nothing to suggest that Samson Oak owns it.

== Wait, why is Rotomdex here? ==

Doesn't Rotom belong to the Professor? (What's his name again?) [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 02:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== Litten ==

It has appeared for more than 3 episodes. We have sufficient information on it. It even has its focus episode! Surely Litten deserves an article to itself! Just saying 'coz It has passed the notability requirements. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 13:59, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
:But most of its appearances were just cameo's and there's nothing to suggest it will be appearing anytime soon, even if it's just in more cameos. Maybe later on if it appears more prominently, or if Ash catches it. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:03, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series

2017-01-15T16:15:57Z

TheDoctorPotter: Spelling fix

{{split|their own articles}}
Several [[wild Pokémon]] had a recurring role in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==[[Original series]]==
===Fearow===
[[File:Ash Fearow.png|thumb|200px|Fearow]]
{{main|Ash's Fearow#In the anime|Ash's Fearow}}

Fearow's first appearance was the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]], where it appeared as a {{p|Spearow}}. It attacked Ash and Pikachu after Ash threw a rock at it. Its second and final appearance was in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', where it was shown to have evolved into a Fearow. It battled against Ash's Pidgeotto, who soon evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks. It was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.
{{-}}
===Ho-Oh===
[[File:Recurring Ho-Oh anime.png|thumb|200px|Ho-Oh]]
{{main|Ho-Oh (anime)}}
The second recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made three appearances.

After Ash and Pikachu were exhausted from fighting a flock of Spearow, Ash saw a glimpse of Ho-Oh flying over a rainbow. The Pokédex couldn't record the data of Ho-Oh as it was unknown at the time. Since then, it would often fly around.
{{-}}

===Haunter===
[[File:Sabrina Haunter.png|thumb|200px|Haunter]]
{{main|Sabrina's Haunter}}
Haunter first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. After {{Ash}} befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle [[Sabrina]], but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} decided to stay with Sabrina.
{{-}}
===Jigglypuff===
[[File:Jigglypuff anime.png|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff]]
{{main|Jigglypuff (anime)}}
The fourth recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made the most appearances, is {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. At first it couldn't {{m|sing}}, but that changed once {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Jigglypuff followed the gang throughout their journey until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.
{{-}}

===Slowking===
[[File:Slowking M02.png|thumb|250px|Slowking]]
{{main|Slowking (M02)}}
This {{pkmn2|talking}} Slowking lived on [[Shamouti Island]], and was the guardian of the shrine located on the island. He gave {{Ash}} advice on where to find the Ice, Thunder and Fire Spheres. He later praised the [[Team Rocket trio]], upset that no-one saw them being heroes, telling them that their heroic actions [[Breaking the fourth wall|did not go unnoticed]].

Slowking reappeared in [[Slowking's Day]].

{{p|Suicune}} first appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as a form of energy. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something and led the trio to a lake. Suicune was standing on a small island in the lake. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to capture it. However, Suicune ran away towards the direction of [[New Bark Town]] as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Ash and group chased it to New Bark from where they began their [[Johto]] [[S03|adventure]].

Suicune appeared once again in the episode, ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed a [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from {{Ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a web by using {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. The bugs even attacked Ash, Misty, Brock, [[Morty]] and [[Eusine]] when they wanted to go to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared, calming down the Pokémon and freeing the Rocket trio as well as the city from the webs of the bugs. Eusine wanted to capture Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used a {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its [[Poké Ball]] and fled from the place before Eusine could even react.

====Personality and characteristics====
Suicune was a calm Pokémon as shown as it didn't get angry at anyone who tried to battle or capture it.

The {{p|Pichu}} Brothers were first introduced in the third mini-movie ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'', where they met [[Ash's Pikachu]] who was lost after falling off a nearby building, in which {{Ash}} was planning a party celebrating the anniversary of [[EP001|when he and Pikachu first met]]. Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers went all throughout the town chased by a {{p|Houndour}} who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing.

They also have a number of friends living in [[Big Town]] that regularly take part in their adventures. They have all made appearances in various side story episodes, as well as a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and the gang have also received their own game for the [[Pokémon mini]], [[Pichu Bros. mini]].

Lugia first appeared in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' as a silhouette swimming underwater. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} who were clinging on their Pokémon, as they were being dragged into a whirlpool (after another mishap involving {{TRT}}), when it suddenly disappeared, which was followed by Lugia's mysterious silhouette and its strange call.

In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', it appeared when [[Oliver]], Ash, and his friends were playing with the child Lugia, {{jo|Silver}}. Lugia and Silver played with the group underwater.

In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Lugia looked for the child after it was told that it was kidnapped by some members of Team Rocket. Lugia became enraged after finding out what happened until Ash mentioned that the group will find and rescue Silver. When Lugia found Silver in a cage, it went for the cage. Despite the group warning Lugia not to get closer, the parent Lugia was caught alongside its child.

In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Lugia was taken captive to Team Rocket's base. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} attempt to free it until they got interrupted by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Their battle accidentally freed the adult Lugia and it went on a rampage until it reunited with Silver. Although doing so, pieces of the ceiling were falling down and Lugia protected Silver and the group with {{m|Safeguard}}. After escaping from Team Rocket's base, Silver stayed with the adult Lugia with Oliver saying goodbye to them both.

====Personality and characteristics====
Lugia is very protective of its {{jo|Silver|child}}, as shown when people it hasn't seen before were near it. Following Team Rocket's attack, Lugia and Silver left, with Silver having to separate from Oliver.

Delibird is a Pokémon that once belonged to the [[Rocket Scout]]. Since then, it has followed the [[Team Rocket trio]] around mostly because of their dues they needed to pay. After getting them to pay by the end of Johto, Delibird followed them less.

enva1=[[Kayzie Rogers]]|
java1=[[Megumi Hayashibara]]|
}}

{{p|Wynaut}} is a wild Pokémon who followed {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} around in [[Blackthorn City]]. Even though it followed them everywhere, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were the only ones to see it.

Wynaut first appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where it was briefly seen taking some food from Team Rocket. Wobbuffet only saw it doing so.

In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'', Wynaut popped its arm out of the bushes while Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Clair]], and {{jo|Liza}} returned to the [[Blackthorn Gym]] for Ash's Gym battle.

While [[Charla]] was about to eat some {{pkmn|food}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Liza provided to her, Wynaut quickly snatched the food from Charla, unbeknownst to her.

In ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. While Team Rocket were spying on Ash and his friends, Wynaut sneaked over and took their snack, putting the blame on Wobbuffet. Wynaut went for Ash's [[Badge]]s but Wobbuffet caught Wynaut this time. However, despite doing so, it was unable to tell Team Rocket that Wynaut took the badges. Later, Wynaut met Ash's Bayleef and Noctowl while they were searching for Ash's stolen badges. After finishing the berries Wynaut found, Wynaut went back inside a bush. When Team Rocket attacked {{p|Wooper}} and Bayleef, Wynaut jumped out and {{m|counter}}ed {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} and went back hiding in the bush. After defeating Team Rocket, Wynaut found the Rising Badge that Ash needed and gave it to Bayleef secretly. Wynaut left before Ash found out.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wynaut had a tendency to pop up out of nowhere at random moments, especially in its final appearance ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'' when it popped out of nowhere and took the case containing Ash's badges (which Team Rocket had stolen from him) away from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who was guarding the case while its teammates were away. Wobbuffet was very confused and startled to see Wynaut, and panicked even more once Wynaut took the case away just as its teammates came back.

Later on in the episode after the case got open and the badges went all over the place, Ash and his friends as well as {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} searched everywhere for the badges. At first they found seven of them, and then Noctowl and Bayleef set out to find the one they had missed, and that's when they saw Wynaut who gave the badge to them, and then Bayleef called to Ash and gave him back his badge and he thanked her and asked her if it had just been lying on the ground. Bayleef tried to explain to her trainer about Wynaut, but it was already gone, causing both Bayleef and Noctowl to become confused, so Wynaut has a tendency to appear out of nowhere when a Pokémon is nearby and then disappear when people come around, showing that there's a possibility Wynaut either doesn't want to be seen by humans, or just likes playing a little joke leaving those who did see it very confused.

}}

{{p|Loudred}} first appeared in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', where it ran by and stepped on [[Jessie]] when she was climbing up to the next floor or [[Granite Cave]]. In the [[AG023|next episode]], Jessie fell on top of it while it was sleeping when she hastily ran to catch [[Ash's Corphish|whatever was attacking]] {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Loudred then sent her, [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying with an extremely loud {{m|Screech}} attack.

It reappeared again in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', where it was pinched on the ear by Ash's Corphish. Loudred ran around in pain, screeching, causing the {{TP|May|Silcoon}} to fall from {{an|May}}'s arms and roll off, separating it and the other Pokémon that went to its rescue to become separated from their Trainers. Loudred's last appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' where [[Professor Birch]] fell from a {{p|Wingull}}'s nest on to it, waking it from its sleep. Loudred screeched at him before leaving.

It appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear!]]''.

====Personality and characteristics====
Loudred does not like to be disturbed while it's sleeping, which it does most of the time, and this could mean that it's a lazy Pokémon. If it gets disturbed while it's sleeping, it'll become very angry and chase after the person or people that woke it up.

}}
{{p|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. It had lost its pearl, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were trying to find it. As it turns out, {{TRT}} had found it and had traded it to the [[Magikarp salesman]] for a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}. After learning this, the travelers confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

It made its second, and final, appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the travelers learned from a scientist named [[Isaiah]] that Spoink's pearls come from {{p|Clamperl}}. Eventually, they found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. They said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.

====Personality and characteristics====
After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using {{m|Psychic}} to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, including an angry {{p|Electrode}}, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with [[Ash's Torkoal]] during its adventures with the group.

{{p|Groudon}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in its containment chamber.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}, who became possessed by the Blue Orb, awakened Groudon. It broke out of the chamber and destroyed Team Aqua's ship. Groudon nullified Kyogre's Drizzle with its own Ability, {{a|Drought}}. Groudon fought Kyogre in the ocean. Because of Brock and May's interference with Kyogre, Groudon was able to defeat Kyogre with {{m|Solar Beam}}. After the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky, Groudon went back in a volcano.

====Personality and characteristics====
Groudon's personality is unknown as it was only seen awakened once. However, Groudon may be somewhat helpful, as it awoke in order to stop Kyogre from drowning Monsu Island into the sea.

{{p|Kyogre}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in the containment room of Team Magma's ship. It was freed by [[Shelly]] who infiltrated the ship in disguise as a member of Team Magma. After being freed, Kyogre escaped Team Magma's ship and destroyed it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Kyogre was later seen sleeping in its containment chamber on Team Aqua's ship. Kyogre once again escaped after {{TRT}} failed to catch it with their net electrified.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Kyogre was out in the ocean near [[Monsu Island]] where its appearance caused a {{a|Drizzle|heavy downpour}} and strong winds. Using the Red Orb, Archie took control of Kyogre where he had it attack [[Lance's Dragonite]] which Dragonite narrowly dodged the attack and then fought [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]]. After Groudon appeared which nullified the weather, Kyogre fought Groudon. Because of the interference with [[May's Beautifly]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]], Kyogre was defeated by Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}} which separated the orbs from Archie and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Despite Archie being saved by Dragonite, Pikachu fell in the ocean and Kyogre, released from the Red Orb, swam underwater to rescue both {{Ash}} and Pikachu. Kyogre resurfaced with the two and both the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky. With that done, Kyogre returned deep in the ocean.

====Personality and characteristics====
Kyogre's personality is unknown as it was only seen under the control of Archie. However, it is shown to be immensely powerful, causing large storms and almost able to drown [[Monsu Island]]. However, outside of Archie's control, it was shown to save Ash and Pikachu from drowning, which may suggest that it is somewhat helpful.

{{p|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' where it emerged from a portal in the sky. As [[Max]] saw Deoxys, he experienced a vision as soon as it went back into a portal.

Later, [[Solana]] investigated a cave as it was where the source of the geomagnetic disturbances that have been going on. She went on her own originally but ended up allowing {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to tag along since she spotted [[Max]] behind some bushes. At the end of the cave, Deoxys emerged from a portal above a meteorite. It ended up battling Ash, his friends, and Solana. Solana tried capturing Deoxys with her [[Capture Styler]] but failed as it had to be in Normal Forme. Everyone finds out from {{MTR}} that Deoxys was in pain. Max climbed up the meteorite with Meowth and Deoxys up there. Deoxys creates a {{m|Safeguard}} around it, Max, and Meowth. Max found out that during the space flight, it was cold and scared. Deoxys then took the two to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|its world]].

In ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'', Deoxys continued telling Max its story. After Ash and the others returned to the cave, Deoxys came out of its world. Everyone evacuated the cave as the meteorite was overloading with energy while Deoxys went back in its dimension. Deoxys emerged from the portal with Max and Meowth still inside. The group had another battle with it in an attempt for Solana to recatch it. During the battle, Meowth and Max were able to escape the alternate dimension. {{AP|Sceptile}} battled Deoxys to get it to change into Normal Forme. Solana used her Capture Styler to capture Deoxys as it was in its Normal Forme and succeeded. Solana has it use {{m|Recover}} to heal itself and then protects the group from the meteorite's strong blast of energy. With the disturbance gone, Deoxys leaves, hoping to visit the planet even more.

{{an|Dawn}} saw the projected soul of Mesprit near [[Lake Verity]] in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden Voyage!]]''.

A statue and silhouette of the same Mesprit appears in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]''.

Mesprit itself appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it, along with Uxie, came to [[Lake Valor]] after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but before it was captured, it used {{m|Future Sight}} with Uxie, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Dawn's Piplup]] and [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

A {{p|Marill}} with the ability to {{m|Sing}} appeared in ''[[PK18|Pikachu's Exploration Club]]'', ''[[PK19|Pikachu's Ice Adventure]]'', ''[[PK20|Pikachu's Big Sparking Search]]'', and ''[[PK21|Pikachu's Big Mysterious Adventure]]''. It seems to be similar to {{an|Jigglypuff}}, as like Jigglypuff, it is also offended as its listeners fall asleep and it inflates itself in anger.

====Personality and characteristics====
As stated before, this Marill is very similar to the recurring Jigglypuff as it loves to sing for an audience and gets furious when it's audience falls asleep on it. The only difference between Marill and Jigglypuff is that Jigglypuff scribbles on the audience, whereas Marill uses Tail Whip on the audience.

java1=[[Chie Satō]]|
}}
{{p|Hippopotas}} made his first appearance in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost and he was separated from the rest of the Hippopotas and Hippowdon. Ash and friends helped Hippopotas find his way back to the herd. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like to be carried on top of Ash's head.

[[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name; she and her {{TRT}} fellows attempted to steal Hippopotas for their boss.

Hippopotas's second and final appearance was in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon but they failed.

====Personality and characteristics====
Hippopotas was shown to be extremely friendly and trusting of Ash and his friends when he first appeared in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'', and the reason is because Ash saved Hippopotas when he was stuck on the ledge of a cliff and then gave Hippopotas some food that he had been trying to reach. After Hippopotas was safe and full Ash and his friends continued on, but stopped when they noticed Hippopotas had been following them, and both Brock and Dawn noticed Hippopotas had taken a liking to Ash. In Hippopotas' next appearance ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]'' Hippopotas met up with Ash and his friends once again after getting separated from his friend {{p|Hippowdon}} and he was really sad showing that Hippopotas loves hanging out with his friends.

* Although Hippopotas weighs {{tt|109.1 pounds|49.5 kilograms}} in the games, Ash has no problem carrying him. This is an example of [[anime physics]].

===Azelf===
[[File:Azelf anime.png|thumb|200px|Azelf]]
{{main|Lake guardians (anime)}}

Azelf appeared in spirit form (much like {{p|Mesprit}} did to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'') to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

Azelf first appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it was the first to be captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]]. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Azelf also appeared in [[PK21]] with Uxie and Mesprit, serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

===Uxie===
[[File:Uxie anime.png|thumb|200px|Uxie]]

Uxie's "soul" appeared to Brock, much in the same way those of {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appeared to {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''

Uxie appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it, along with Mesprit, came to [[Lake Valor]] after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but before it was captured, it used {{m|Future Sight}} with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Ash's Gliscor]], it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

{{p|Zekrom}} first appeared in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' hiding in a dark storm cloud. It zapped electricity at {{AP|Pikachu}}, disabling him of using his {{t|Electric}} powers. This was not found out until Ash's first battle with [[Trip]].

In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Zekrom appeared once more and caused a thunderstorm. The storm hit Pikachu again and he regained his Electric powers.

Zekrom made further appearances in flashbacks.

A Tornadus debuted in the main series 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.

A Thundurus made his TV episode debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]''. It 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.

Landorus made his debut in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]''. He appeared in the legend of [[Milos Island]] related to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by [[Lewis]], and later appeared at the end of the episode when called to stop the battle of {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. He then appeared in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', where he managed to subdue the other members of the Forces of Nature.

{{p|Reshiram}} first appeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' in a flashback {{an|N}} had during his time in his [[N's Castle|castle]]. It flew away when the castle was on fire.

It reappeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' in another flashback while N revealed that he was once a member of [[Team Plasma]]. It was revealed that Reshiram was responsible for burning the castle.

Reshiram made another flashback appearance in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.

Reshiram was revived from the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Following the revival, [[Colress]] zapped it with his machine and [[Ghetsis]] took control of it. Because of {{AP|Pikachu}} and Reshiram rebelling against the machine, Colress and Ghetsis lost control of Reshiram. Before Reshiram flies off, N stopped it and said that he always wanted to meet it. N asks Reshiram how it felt when it saw everyone battle against evil in the ruins and silently responded to him by looking at him.

N also asked if it could believe in humans as they believe in Pokémon. The world of truth that Reshiram wants and the ideal world for humans. N tells Reshiram that just like it, he will keep fighting for the ideal world that everyone can live in. Reshiram accepted N's request and flew away peacefully into the sky.

====Personality and characteristics====
Reshiram's personality is largely a mystery as it was only seen in flashbacks and under the control of Ghetsis. However, it appears to have a close association with N, and it is able to effectively commune with him.

{{p|Malamar}} first appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. Unlike most [[wild Pokémon]], this Malamar is an independently evil being who conspires to change the face of [[Pokémon world|the world]]. It hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] who went to investigate at a radio observatory. As a result, she became Madame X. Together, the two went to a dark cave where {{TRT}} were and hypnotized them, save for {{MTR}}, who quickly slashed up his own face with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Ash, his friends, and Meowth arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar cruelly took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Officer Jenny went back to normal and explained what happened. Malamar revealed that it tricked them into believing that Madame X was a real person and it was using her as its pawn. Malamar also revealed that Madame X's goal of taking over the world was a lie and hopes to reconstruct the world using a mind control machine. Angered at Malamar's lies and dishonesty, Ash, Officer Jenny, and the gang went after Malamar who led them to a room containing the system of great significance. Since everyone saw what Malamar was doing, it destroyed the weapon that it was building and fled.
[[File:Malamar XY054.png|thumb|250px|left|Malamar with its two fellow Malamar]]
Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'' where it had recruited two other Malamar in a plan to distort the world using energy crystals. Malamar and the other two hypnotized the top scientists in Kalos to build the energy crystals. Afterwards, they stole three delivery trucks and recklessly drove them with the crystals to the [[Grace Tower]] to get their plan in action. When Team Rocket went to the top of Grace Tower, the Malamar trio spotted them after {{TP|James|Inkay}} became furious at the one particular Malamar for what it did to them previously. Malamar was unable to find the Team Rocket trio after they fled.

Malamar discovered the trio along with Ash, his friends, and the Officer Jenny who it had hypnotized before. The three of them caught Ash, his friends (with the exception of Clemont), [[Jessie]], and Officer Jenny by keeping them frozen in the air through {{m|Psychic}}, leaving Clemont, Meowth, [[James]] and Inkay to save the day. Malamar and the other two were defeated after being subdued by James's Inkay, a group of good Malamar and other wild Inkay who James and Clemont had brought to help, their crystals were deactivated by [[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]. Despite their defeat and Officer Jenny pointing it out, all of the crystals combined into one and the evil Malamar went in them as a method of escape, allowing all three of them to avoid capture and thus destroying any evidence of their plan. Before they left, they claimed they were heading into the future but swore they would return to fight once more and their plan would succeed someday.

====Personality and characteristics====
Unlike most Pokémon, Malamar is a cruel and evil Pokémon with a mysterious dark past. Though there have been many mischievous, manipulative and misunderstood Pokémon in the series, the wild Malamar are unique for being one of the only to seek world dominion without any known human influence. Malamar had no trouble with its plans for world domination as it hypnotized people and Pokémon to do its bidding. However, Trainers with a strong bond with their Pokémon such as {{Ash}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[James]] with {{TP|James|Inkay}} are able to break free of Malamar's hypnotic control, or by pain as seen in Meowth's case, snapping out of it by {{m|Fury Swipes|scratching}} himself - or others such as Ash - repeatedly in the face. The three evil Malamar are shown to be psychopaths for they showed no signs of remorse, guilt, or redemption after their plans were stopped by Ash and his friends. They're also shown to be very merciless when their leader brainwashed several Pokémon, Ash's friends, Team Rocket, Pikachu and Officer Jenny and forced them to attack Ash and Meowth without any decency or mercy. They even lack the sense of honor and morality when they refused to accept defeat or learn from their previous mistakes.

[[File:Goodra and Wooper.png|thumb|250px|left|Wooper and Goodra]]
Prior to the events of ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Wooper was close friends with a lone {{AP|Goomy}} who lived in [[Kalos Route 14|the wetlands]]. The two were very happy together and often played with the rest of the Pokémon in the wetlands. One day, while Wooper and {{p|Goomy}} were playing together in a lake, the wetlands were invaded by a {{p|Florges}} and her {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} army. During the chaos, Wooper became separated from its friend Goomy as Goomy landed on a fleeing {{p|Swanna}}.

Wooper made its first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' where it got to reunite with Goomy who was now a {{p|Goodra}}. When Goodra, who remembered all the good times it had with it, called loudly for its friends, Wooper recognized its voice and was the first to go find it. When it saw Goodra, it approached Goodra and was happy when Goodra recognized it. The other Pokémon then came out to greet Goodra. Wooper had a happy reunion with Goodra, but this was cut short when Swanna warned then about Florges's arrival.

Florges's army attacked once again. Goodra was able to get Wooper and its friends to fight back, and Goodra bested Florges in the battle. After the fight, when Goodra was recovering from a surprise attack, Wooper stayed with Goodra to watch it recover. During the nighttime, an {{p|Ariados}} kidnapped Wooper, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} while they were sleeping.

In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', Wooper was placed in a special cage. It saw that Florges was holding her weakened child. Wooper, along with Pikachu and Dedenne tried convincing Florges that {{TRT}} was lying but {{MTR}} cutted them off by accusation. After Ash, {{an|Bonnie}}, and Goodra found and confronted Team Rocket, Florges attempted to attack after hearing the truth but Team Rocket escaped on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] taking with them the cages containing Wooper, Pikachu, and Dedenne, and the stolen spring water. Wooper was found on the back of Team Rocket's airship. It was freed after {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} accidentally slammed into the panel. After defeating Team Rocket, Goodra placed Wooper on a {{p|Yanmega}} to escape the falling airship.

Wooper was then seen interacting with the other Pokémon after {{p|Floette}} became fully healed. Goodra was then told to stay behind with Wooper and the other Pokémon in the wetlands since it belonged there and it was no longer a Goomy. Thus, it could protect the other Pokémon from future dangers.

Wooper made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wooper was a very close friend of a single Goomy and was almost always with it during its time in the wetlands. It appeared to be the closest friend of Goomy, as the two would often happily play together along with the other Pokémon in the wetlands. Much like Goomy, Wooper is very playful and friendly.

Due to it being especially close to Goomy, Wooper was the first to recognize {{AP|Goodra}} when it had returned, now fully evolved. It was also the first to approach it, despite warning from the other Pokémon in the wetlands. It also stayed with Goodra while it was recovering from a surprise attack caused by Team Rocket.

In the end she was defeated by Goodra's Ice Beam. She did this to protect a Floette, and joined forces with Team Rocket. She reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', where she learned of Team Rocket's deception and teamed up with Goodra to help defeat them. She reappeared in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', and ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]''.

In the past, Litten was rescued by an aging wild {{p|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.

This Litten first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with Ember and walked off. Litten was later seen in [[SM004]], being fed by an old lady in a marketplace on the beach, where it saw [[Ash's Rowlet|a wild Rowlet]] carrying off a wind chime.

In [[SM007]], Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich he was going to have for lunch that day, Litten stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an [[Regional variant|Alolan]] {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Litten. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought Litten to Kukui's house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by the old lady of the marketplace that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

====Personality and characteristics====
Litten is a stubborn Pokémon that tends to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend is an old {{p|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousnesses. Litten has been seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance.

Litten has difficulty getting close to humans, but seems to get along well with the old lady of the marketplace, often visiting her when it needs food.

A {{p|Tapu Koko}} appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', in which it gave {{Ash}} a [[Z-Ring]] equipped with an {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium Z}}. It reappeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', in which it challenged Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} to a battle. It taught them how to use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} and fled.

Tapu Koko reappeared in [[SM009]], where [[Hala]] revealed that the Z-Ring it gave to Ash was stolen from him. It then watched Ash's battle against {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Gumshoos}}, and the [[Totem Pokémon|Totem Gumshoos]]. The [[SM010|following day]] it watched Ash's Grand Trial Battle with Hala, before it quickly stole the Fightingum Z that Hala was about to give Ash and replaced it with an Electrium Z.

{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} met Bewear after they got lost in a forest chasing after a {{p|Grubbin}}. Ash and Pikachu greeted it with a smile, but panicked and ran off upon seeing Bewear destroying trees nearby in joy. Bewear eventually lost the two after [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko]] distracted it and it sighed sadly.

Bewear met [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in [[SM003]], taking them away from battle and to its den in the forest. [[SM004|The following episode]], after Jessie catches {{TP|Jessie|her Mimikyu|Mimikyu}}, Bewear proceeds to give them some honey before heading off. A tribe of wild {{p|Pikipek}} and {{p|Trumbeak}} soon came and stole all of the berries in Bewear's den, so {{TRT}} agreed to not only catch the Pokémon, but return the berries to Bewear out of gratitude for what it did for them.

Bewear has since been seen dragging Team Rocket away from a battle before they could be sent blasting off, even going as far as to perform seemingly impossible feats like running on water to rescue them during [[SM005]] and jumping across rooftops in [[SM006]].

==Recurring Pokémon that have been caught==
Five Pokémon that recurred in the anime were later caught, three by {{Ash}}, one by {{an|Clemont}}, and one by [[Jessie]].
* An {{AP|Aipom}} began following the group through the [[Kanto]] region, and was caught three episodes later by Ash in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. She had a habit of taking [[Ash's hat]] from him making him chase her around, sometimes lowering her eyelid and sticking out her tongue at him when he tried to get it back. She was eventually traded to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' and evolved into an Ambipom in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' under her care.
* Ash also caught a {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' after helping him to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
* Ash later caught the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} (which debuted as a Sandile) that had been following him since ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' in ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]''. He evolved into a Krookodile in ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three]]'' during his battle against [[Iris's Dragonite]].
* Clemont caught a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} that was following the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' which he gave to {{an|Bonnie}} to take care of.
* Jessie caught a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} in [[SM004]] after it helped {{TRT}} attack Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

TheDoctorPotter: /* Chaining SOS Battles */

==Weather and SOS Battles==
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxHlTuSt44 Castform], Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in [[Lush Jungle]]. I ran into a {{p|Trumbeak}}, used an Adrenaline Orb...and it called 14 Trumbeak before I gave up on it.
:I, for one, have only the ''least'' idea what all the conditions of this are. About how common/rare are they when these special allies ''can'' be called? (Can ''only'' the special Pokemon be called, or can the Pokemon's normal allies still be called?) Does it ''matter'' who the original encounter is? (I.e., is there one Pokemon that can call Castform, and another that can call Goomy, and another for Poliwhirl, and another for Poliwrath, and another for Politoed?) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
::1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
::2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found). This will need to be tested further for more exact percentage chances.
::While this may not be a larger-scale test, it did at least give some insight. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 05:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I've made a basic table based on what you said you tested. If you/anyone can fill out more, that'd be great. I'm not certain how to put this on location pages, but we can figure that out in a little bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:41, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Do you guys have reliable/approved encounter slots? I believe there's one for sun, one for rain, one for hail, one for sandstorm (in that order, so maybe try to get your Poliwhirl '''in sun'''). What I can confirm is that there's Gabite in [[Haina Desert]]'s sandstorm for both Sandile and Trapinch. They appear to be called less likely than their species (but that could also be some SOS mechanic like chains or idk what). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::Weather Pokemon are not at all part of all the other normal wild encounter data. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:48, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I just realized the Pokedex will show the locations of these weather allies, and Castform appears to be everywhere. Double-checking with the guide (via a third party), I've filled in that table now so it's hopefully complete. Thanks for clarifying some of the things above so we could add this info! I think I know a way to add this to locations, so later on I'll see about doing that.

As a note to myself as much as anything, it may also be nice to note the times these weathers are in effect. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:Are you sure about the Castforms? I believe they're "the rest of weathers" (all other wheathers than the other weather-exclusives). I have not (yet?) seen a Castform in sand at Haina Desert. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:38, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::More than anything, just look up Castform's locations in the Pokedex. But the guide does list Castform and [something else] in every location listed (and its form matches the indicated weather...Sunny Form notwithstanding). (I'm not 100% certain what you mean, though, so if you do find Castform somewhere, I'd be very happy to know the details.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I mean: Does the guidebook say Castform shows up in weather <whatever you listed>? Or just in some weather/at all? Pokédex just says it's there, no weather details. My idea is: you remove whatever weather you need to get something other than Castform, you get only Castform. I found five Gabite, not one Castform in Haina Desert ''in sandstorm''. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::The guide says things like, ''"When it rains, Castform (Rainy Form) and Sliggoo may appear in battles."'' (This is also specifically about SOS allies.) And the Pokedex shows all the weather allies basically the same, whether Castform or Goomy or whoever. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I did a decent amount of battles in Haina Desert. In nearly half an hour during sunshine, neither Gabite nor Castform appeared. (Relating to what I said above, I believe the slot I initially thought to be "sun" is "rain" as well. Which makes senses for the Polis final forms, I'll get back to that below.) In rain, Castform appeared after ten minutes (and immediately transformed to Rainy Form), and/but no Gabite appeared. Same-species allies always appeared, more often.
:::::To summarize: I believe that '''between rain, hail, and sandstorm''', extra species can appear in a specific weather per location (Gabite in Haina Desert in sandstorm, Goomy on Route 17 in rain, etc.); if you change the weather to something else of those, Castform can appear instead. In sun, nothing additional can ever appear (I'm not 100% sure on that one, but fairly certain, despite that being very odd).
:::::In addition, the German page Malie Garden says Politoed can show up at night in both Sun and Moon. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::Can you clarify for me: what's the natural weather condition(s) in Haina Desert?
::::::And are you saying you used something like Sunny Day and Castform appeared?
::::::(If so) By that logic, can you use Rain Dance and get Poliwhirl (or some such, depending on where you are)? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::There's a sunny and a sandstorm part. Castform appeared in the sunny part after I used Rain Dance. All other tests I've done were in the sandy part (with or without Drought). Poliwhirl would be in Malie Garden, and according to Adamws above, yes (I don't think there's natural rain, at least not for me now). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Since this requires that the guide be wrong, it'd be best if we can verify Castform appearing in weather it "shouldn't" in each place. If this is verified for a given place, feel free to change it in the table. (And please explain that in-battle weather-changing effects can influence these allies.) FYI, the guide also said Malie Garden gets rain just before night, which jives with what I've seen the one time I saw rain at Brooklet Hill and Lush Jungle (about an hour before night).
::::::::Also, just to check, where are you in the island challenge? If I try to make something appear somewhere, I don't want to keep trying forever if there's a chance it might not be possible for me yet. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::Castform appeared ''where it shouldn't''. According to what you wrote, it ''should'' appear in sandstorm, but it did in rain (and in everything I've done, it didn't in sandstorm). If what you wrote is what the guide says, I cannot (by nature) verify it is wrong, but it is at least incomplete.
:::::::::I'm a Champion. Haina Desert can be accessed once you completed [[Acerola]]'s trial, Malie Garden as soon as you land on Ula'ula (and Lush Jungle is on Akala). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm not arguing what you wrote or anything...? I'm basically saying, do exactly what you did, and update the table when you can verify something different from what it claims for Castform. (Although, for the sake of completeness, I'd actually be more comfortable if you could also verify that making rain with Rain Dance/whatever in the sandstorm area can also yield Castform.)
::::::::::(And yes, I mean go ahead and presume that it can't be found in the weather the guide indicated. If anyone does find it in that weather later, we can revisit it.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:32, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::If the guidebook be only overruled per location, that's the best I could do. I might test hail in the desert, but certainly not everything. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
{{indent}}Just sharing what I have now: datamining suggests there are apparently six "slots" for weather SOS allies, where the odd ones include Goomy, Poliwhirl, Sliggoo (1), Vanillite, Vanillish (3), and Gabite (5) in locations where they should appear in rain (1), snow (3) and sandstorm (5) respectively. I'm sure they do. Politoed/wrath is in slot 0 for day/night, everything else is always Castform in weather SOS locations. So, everything would make perfect sense if the even slots were for rain, snow, and sandstorm as well, but with a smaller probability; the guidebook wouldn't have lied, it would just have been largely incomplete and veeery misleading. And it would additionally make sense that a user recently found Castform in rain on Exeggutor Island, which is where it should be according to the guidebook. The only problem is that ''I cannot find Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm''. I've tested for hours, and there's not a single Castform, so the probability is either ''below'' 1% (and very much harder than to find a Shiny), or there is some special requirement. I thought that special requirement to be that the odd-slot ally itself calls for help, except that Gabite don't ever call for help. Having seen the "call rates" from below (Gabite at 0, but ''not'' Poliwhirl), I'm still willing to test it a Malie Garden (but I can't explain the Exeggutor Island thing). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:Castform definitely appears in rain in Lush Jungle. Even if we're not sure what other weathers it appears in, we should add Rain in instead of "Unknown" since it's clear that rain is a known quantity. I've caught it twice during SOS, but only during the afternoon rainfall on my way home from work. I've tried using Rain Dance and other weathers to trigger, but it's so finnicky and the PP limit makes it tough to trigger Castform under Sunny Day/Hail/Sandstorm conditions, at least without weather ability 'mons like Hidden ability Ninetales. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] ([[User talk:Kumori Satosuke|talk]]) 13:30, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
::Please go ahead with whatever you have. I didn't know that (for sure), but I am sure that ''in-game'' weather is relevant. (And if you could give a rough estimate of the Castform probability (in general and in contrast to Goomy's) here, I'd appreciate that.)
::For the Polis, I will then probably (also) try to get a final form from the initial encounter. (They might have just forgetten to enable/include slots 2 and 4 somehow??) And I'm interested in whether Poliwhirl can only call Poliwhirl, or also whatever the original encounter was. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I forgot all about those weather-ally slots... (It wasn't in the early version that I initially saved.) Given the pattern there, I tried spending a while in [[Malie Garden]] after it started raining, and I found a Psyduck (high call rate) and kept going until I had 150 answered calls. 133 of those were Psyduck, 15 were Poliwhirl (10%), and 2 were Poliwrath (roughly 1%).
:::My bets are on that rare/off slot indeed being right around 1%, even given your lack of luck in Haina Desert, Nescientist. I plan to spend a bit in Haina Desert this evening too and see if I can find a Castform in the sandstorm. I probably won't take it as far as that Malie Garden tally, though. I mainly just want to be able to confirm it's there, if rare. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
::::And yup, I found Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm after 100+ successful calls.
::::It's also a pretty tough environment, though, what with the threat of sandstorm damage and Sandile's low-ish call rate and annoying moveset/Intimidate. Or Trapinch's Arena Trap, or Dugtrio's much lower call rate. These things could definitely made hours seem like hundreds of calls if you weren't keeping exact track. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I had reached a point where I thought out of luck couldn't explain it, that's why my theories became more and more obscure. I didn't count manually and obviously counting PP wouldn't do the job, but I had ~30 Gabite. Thank you for proving me wrong, it's some kind of relief.
:::::Have you by chance also tested whether your Poliwhirl can call Psyduck? In other words, do you know whether each battle uses a fixed set of Pokémon that can be called as allies, or whether that depends on the actual species that calls for help? I seem to destined to miss the rain at Malie Garden.
:::::Other than that, I think we have everything for weather-related SOS Battles then. (I am assuming Castform didn't change to sunny form, right?) I'm interested to see what bright idea you have to include that on location pages, and also whether you have an idea for here. I guess my ideas suck. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::30 Gabite would be pretty terrible luck, yeah... But yes, Poliwhirl can call Psyduck. (On a related subject, if you change day/night hours in the middle of a battle, allies are still called based on when you started the battle.) And Castform came in normal and stayed like that until, coincidentally, it then used Sunny Day. =P
::::::And yeah, the weather slots should give us everything. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:06, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I have a Shiny Gabite, so I guess I'm fine. And I like your ideas. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:42, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

==Chaining SOS Battles==
There appears to be perks for chaining an SOS Battle. I have gotten a Poliwag with 4 perfect IVs and with its Hidden Ability after chaining about 50 Pokémon. This probably should be researched more for other perks, like increased shiny chance. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:According to various sources, chaining an SOS Battle can net you Pokémon with hidden abilities and a maximum of four perfect IVs. Can't test it myself, I have no idea how to do it. But I think it's about time this was added to the article but as well as that, I think the redirect for "chaining" should no longer lead to "Poké Radar" and instead go to a disambiguation page between this one and that one. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 18:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
::If someone finds more exact information, we should surely cover that (and maybe a bit more prominently). I was just trying to see Castform, so all I can do is hint at it rather carefully.
::For chaining, I don't know if it's been mentioned ''officially'' for the Radar. If not, the disambig might also include [[fishing]]. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Should we spell out to readers that the chance of a Shiny only rises by 5% starting at #10 and every 5 allies on, or is that already implied in the table?
Are we sure (enough) that ally #11 isn't 6% likely to be shiny? --[[User:Gamescook|Gamescook]] ([[User talk:Gamescook|talk]]) 01:29, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
:That's not how it works. The chance is far, far lower than 5%, even at a chain of like 100, because it only rises once at a chain length of 60 or 70 when the chance triples, from 1 in 8192 to 3 in 8192. [[User:TheDoctorPotter|TheDoctorPotter]] ([[User talk:TheDoctorPotter|talk]]) 23:43, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

==Adding to Routes==
Should we add The Wether and SOS to pay end Rotue to show where they can find the Pokemon?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

== Underlevelled Pokémon ==

Should it be noted (maybe in a trivia section for example) that it is possible to obtain underlevelled Pokémon through SOS battles (and very easily at that)? It barely requires any effort to find a level 15 Gyarados or a level 30 Wailmer (or a level 10 Salamence, but you'd need a lot of patience for this one). In other games underlevelled Pokémon are usually restricted to a small amount of places, whereas now you can just get them at almost any fishing spot.

== Breaking a chain ==

In reponse to [[Special:Diff/2552827|this]], I'll go ahead and share some of my thoughts/experience.

First: I have encountered a Metapod who called Caterpie and then accidentally fainted Metapod, and the calls continued.

But my thought was, this could be because both Caterpie and Metapod are in the encounter data; i.e., they have lists of allies if the game is looking up "Does this Pokemon have allies to call here?".

So, if we want to know if the chain really survives so long as someone in the same family remains active, Metapod/Caterpie aren't really the best way to check it. A number of the other listed SOS allies would work fine, though (particularly the baby Pokemon who often have good call rates), like fainting an Elekid after it calls Electabuzz.

Another interesting potential consequence of my hypothesized game logic above is, even if a Pokemon wouldn't normally have any allies it could call, if you're in a location with potential weather allies, would it be able to call those? (Say, a Trumbeak called by Oranguru/Passimian in Lush Jungle.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just tested out the former situation at Wela Volcano Park, and found that Magmar can call more Magby. I tried to see whether it would also call more Magmar, but couldn't get it to do so before it ran out of PP (80 turns) and Struggled itself to death. I didn't keep an exact count, but I'm sure I got a lot more "Its help didn't appear!"s from Magmar than I've ever had from a non-SOS-exclusive Pokémon, as well as far more turns where it didn't even try to call for help than I usually have from a battle in which I've used an Adrenaline Orb. As a result, I have to wonder whether SOS-exclusive Pokémon are perhaps programmed to call for help less often and less successfully? Obviously this is something we can only probably get from datamining, but it's worth keeping in mind.

::I haven't really (consciously) thought about it that way, so Metapod was perhaps about the only bad guy I could've come up with. But I can say that one Gabite I was trying to get to call for help didn't do so (in ~5-10 turns, before it died off Take Down recoil), and the sandstorm was still ongoing. I'm going to try it again with a Ghost mon maybe (especially after what Pumpkinking said), cause it calling Castform ''then'' would really make so much sense for the above section.
::And to Pumpkinking, SnorlaxMonster added that "(t)he likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species", which would/could explain why Magmar does not call for help as often as Magby do. Also, I'm under the (vague!) impression that calls remain unanswered more often when the AI thinks you're behind or on the edge of losing, when your own HP are low (or something like it, and something else maybe); so ''maybe'' that Magmar was "too strong"???

== Need to Add Specific Info about SOS Battle Mechanics ==

I was just wondering when this page would contain the specific details and numbers about the number of IV's and Shinies when chaining Pokemon using the SOS method. I found this information on the Bulba Handbook for this game, and was wondering when it would be added to the SOS Battle page.

Chain Lengths

The longer the chain, the more chance you have of finding a Pokémon that is shiny, has its hidden Ability, or has perfect IVs. After a chain of 255, the counter goes back to 0 again.

PERFECT IV'S:
Chain length of 0 to 4: No guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 5 to 9: 1 guaranteed perfect IV
Chain length of 10-19: 2 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 20-29: 3 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 30-255: 4 guaranteed perfect IVs

HIDDEN ABILITIES:
Chain length of 0 to 9: 0% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 10 to 19: 5% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 20 to 29: 10% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 30 to 255: 15% chance of Hidden Ability

SHINY CHANCE
A chain length of 70 to 255 gives you a 1/1024 chance of encountering a shiny (normally 1/4096). If you have obtained the Shiny Charm, the chance becomes 1/683 (normally 3/4096).

Breaking the Chain

The following actions will break a chain:

Fleeing the battle
The caller fainting without an ally being present
The caller fainting while the ally is a Pokémon with a call rate of 0
The caller calling a Pokémon that is not of the same family as the caller does not break the chain.

I don't know but I feel like it's important to add all this stuff to this page, but I wanted to ask someone for permission first, I guess, of where to put it instead of just copying and pasting it all on the page.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 22:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon who don't call for help ==
Would it be useful to include a list of Pokémon with a call rate of 0 (as a chart maybe)? It would include Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles, legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon, as well as Exeggutor, Komala, Minior, and Wimpod. --[[User:Dirtytabs|Dirtytabs]] ([[User talk:Dirtytabs|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)
:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula).

==Weather and SOS Battles==
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxHlTuSt44 Castform], Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

::Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
::1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
::2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found).

:::::I did a decent amount of battles in Haina Desert. In nearly half an hour during sunshine, neither Gabite nor Castform appeared.

In rain, Castform appeared after ten minutes (and immediately transformed to Rainy Form), and/but no Gabite appeared. Same-species allies always appeared, more often.
:::::To summarize: I believe that '''between rain, hail, and sandstorm''', extra species can appear in a specific weather per location (Gabite in Haina Desert in sandstorm, Goomy on Route 17 in rain, etc.); if you change the weather to something else of those, Castform can appear instead. In sun, nothing additional can ever appear (I'm not 100% sure on that one, but fairly certain, despite that being very odd).

{{indent}}Just sharing what I have now: datamining suggests there are apparently six "slots" for weather SOS allies, where the odd ones include Goomy, Poliwhirl, Sliggoo (1), Vanillite, Vanillish (3), and Gabite (5) in locations where they should appear in rain (1), snow (3) and sandstorm (5) respectively. I'm sure they do. Politoed/wrath is in slot 0 for day/night, everything else is always Castform in weather SOS locations. So, everything would make perfect sense if the even slots were for rain, snow, and sandstorm as well, but with a smaller probability; the guidebook wouldn't have lied, it would just have been largely incomplete and veeery misleading. And it would additionally make sense that a user recently found Castform in rain on Exeggutor Island, which is where it should be according to the guidebook. The only problem is that ''I cannot find Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm''. I've tested for hours, and there's not a single Castform, so the probability is either ''below'' 1% (and very much harder than to find a Shiny), or there is some special requirement. I thought that special requirement to be that the odd-slot ally itself calls for help, except that Gabite don't ever call for help. Having seen the "call rates" from below (Gabite at 0, but ''not'' Poliwhirl), I'm still willing to test it a Malie Garden (but I can't explain the Exeggutor Island thing).

:Castform definitely appears in rain in Lush Jungle.

I've caught it twice during SOS, but only during the afternoon rainfall on my way home from work.

::For the Polis, I will then probably (also) try to get a final form from the initial encounter. (They might have just forgetten to enable/include slots 2 and 4 somehow??)

==Chaining SOS Battles==

This probably should be researched more for other perks, like increased shiny chance. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:According to various sources, chaining an SOS Battle can net you Pokémon with hidden abilities and a maximum of four perfect IVs. Can't test it myself, I have no idea how to do it.

== Underlevelled Pokémon ==

Should it be noted (maybe in a trivia section for example) that it is possible to obtain underlevelled Pokémon through SOS battles (and very easily at that)? It barely requires any effort to find a level 15 Gyarados or a level 30 Wailmer (or a level 10 Salamence, but you'd need a lot of patience for this one). In other games underlevelled Pokémon are usually restricted to a small amount of places, whereas now you can just get them at almost any fishing spot.

== Breaking a chain ==

In reponse to [[Special:Diff/2552827|this]], I'll go ahead and share some of my thoughts/experience.

First: I have encountered a Metapod who called Caterpie and then accidentally fainted Metapod, and the calls continued.

But my thought was, this could be because both Caterpie and Metapod are in the encounter data; i.e., they have lists of allies if the game is looking up "Does this Pokemon have allies to call here?".

So, if we want to know if the chain really survives so long as someone in the same family remains active, Metapod/Caterpie aren't really the best way to check it. A number of the other listed SOS allies would work fine, though (particularly the baby Pokemon who often have good call rates), like fainting an Elekid after it calls Electabuzz.

Another interesting potential consequence of my hypothesized game logic above is, even if a Pokemon wouldn't normally have any allies it could call, if you're in a location with potential weather allies, would it be able to call those? (Say, a Trumbeak called by Oranguru/Passimian in Lush Jungle.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just tested out the former situation at Wela Volcano Park, and found that Magmar can call more Magby. I tried to see whether it would also call more Magmar, but couldn't get it to do so before it ran out of PP (80 turns) and Struggled itself to death. I didn't keep an exact count, but I'm sure I got a lot more "Its help didn't appear!"s from Magmar than I've ever had from a non-SOS-exclusive Pokémon, as well as far more turns where it didn't even try to call for help than I usually have from a battle in which I've used an Adrenaline Orb. As a result, I have to wonder whether SOS-exclusive Pokémon are perhaps programmed to call for help less often and less successfully? Obviously this is something we can only probably get from datamining, but it's worth keeping in mind.

::I haven't really (consciously) thought about it that way, so Metapod was perhaps about the only bad guy I could've come up with. But I can say that one Gabite I was trying to get to call for help didn't do so (in ~5-10 turns, before it died off Take Down recoil), and the sandstorm was still ongoing. I'm going to try it again with a Ghost mon maybe (especially after what Pumpkinking said), cause it calling Castform ''then'' would really make so much sense for the above section.
::And to Pumpkinking, SnorlaxMonster added that "(t)he likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species", which would/could explain why Magmar does not call for help as often as Magby do. Also, I'm under the (vague!) impression that calls remain unanswered more often when the AI thinks you're behind or on the edge of losing, when your own HP are low (or something like it, and something else maybe); so ''maybe'' that Magmar was "too strong"???

== Need to Add Specific Info about SOS Battle Mechanics ==

I was just wondering when this page would contain the specific details and numbers about the number of IV's and Shinies when chaining Pokemon using the SOS method. I found this information on the Bulba Handbook for this game, and was wondering when it would be added to the SOS Battle page.

Chain Lengths

The longer the chain, the more chance you have of finding a Pokémon that is shiny, has its hidden Ability, or has perfect IVs. After a chain of 255, the counter goes back to 0 again.

PERFECT IV'S:
Chain length of 0 to 4: No guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 5 to 9: 1 guaranteed perfect IV
Chain length of 10-19: 2 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 20-29: 3 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 30-255: 4 guaranteed perfect IVs

HIDDEN ABILITIES:
Chain length of 0 to 9: 0% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 10 to 19: 5% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 20 to 29: 10% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 30 to 255: 15% chance of Hidden Ability

SHINY CHANCE
A chain length of 70 to 255 gives you a 1/1024 chance of encountering a shiny (normally 1/4096). If you have obtained the Shiny Charm, the chance becomes 1/683 (normally 3/4096).

Breaking the Chain

The following actions will break a chain:

Fleeing the battle
The caller fainting without an ally being present
The caller fainting while the ally is a Pokémon with a call rate of 0
The caller calling a Pokémon that is not of the same family as the caller does not break the chain.

I don't know but I feel like it's important to add all this stuff to this page, but I wanted to ask someone for permission first, I guess, of where to put it instead of just copying and pasting it all on the page.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 22:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon who don't call for help ==
Would it be useful to include a list of Pokémon with a call rate of 0 (as a chart maybe)? It would include Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles, legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon, as well as Exeggutor, Komala, Minior, and Wimpod. --[[User:Dirtytabs|Dirtytabs]] ([[User talk:Dirtytabs|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)
:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula).

==Weather and SOS Battles==
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxHlTuSt44 Castform], Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in [[Lush Jungle]]. I ran into a {{p|Trumbeak}}, used an Adrenaline Orb...and it called 14 Trumbeak before I gave up on it.
:I, for one, have only the ''least'' idea what all the conditions of this are. About how common/rare are they when these special allies ''can'' be called? (Can ''only'' the special Pokemon be called, or can the Pokemon's normal allies still be called?) Does it ''matter'' who the original encounter is? (I.e., is there one Pokemon that can call Castform, and another that can call Goomy, and another for Poliwhirl, and another for Poliwrath, and another for Politoed?) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
::1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
::2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found). This will need to be tested further for more exact percentage chances.

I just realized the Pokedex will show the locations of these weather allies, and Castform appears to be everywhere. Double-checking with the guide (via a third party), I've filled in that table now so it's hopefully complete. Thanks for clarifying some of the things above so we could add this info! I think I know a way to add this to locations, so later on I'll see about doing that.

As a note to myself as much as anything, it may also be nice to note the times these weathers are in effect. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

::More than anything, just look up Castform's locations in the Pokedex. But the guide does list Castform and [something else] in every location listed (and its form matches the indicated weather...Sunny Form notwithstanding).

:::I mean: Does the guidebook say Castform shows up in weather <whatever you listed>? Or just in some weather/at all? Pokédex just says it's there, no weather details. My idea is: you remove whatever weather you need to get something other than Castform, you get only Castform. I found five Gabite, not one Castform in Haina Desert ''in sandstorm''. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::The guide says things like, ''"When it rains, Castform (Rainy Form) and Sliggoo may appear in battles."'' (This is also specifically about SOS allies.)

:::::I did a decent amount of battles in Haina Desert. In nearly half an hour during sunshine, neither Gabite nor Castform appeared. (Relating to what I said above, I believe the slot I initially thought to be "sun" is "rain" as well. Which makes senses for the Polis final forms, I'll get back to that below.) In rain, Castform appeared after ten minutes (and immediately transformed to Rainy Form), and/but no Gabite appeared. Same-species allies always appeared, more often.
:::::To summarize: I believe that '''between rain, hail, and sandstorm''', extra species can appear in a specific weather per location (Gabite in Haina Desert in sandstorm, Goomy on Route 17 in rain, etc.); if you change the weather to something else of those, Castform can appear instead. In sun, nothing additional can ever appear (I'm not 100% sure on that one, but fairly certain, despite that being very odd).

::::::Can you clarify for me: what's the natural weather condition(s) in Haina Desert?

:::::::There's a sunny and a sandstorm part. Castform appeared in the sunny part after I used Rain Dance. All other tests I've done were in the sandy part (with or without Drought). Poliwhirl would be in Malie Garden, and according to Adamws above, yes (I don't think there's natural rain, at least not for me now). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Since this requires that the guide be wrong, it'd be best if we can verify Castform appearing in weather it "shouldn't" in each place. If this is verified for a given place, feel free to change it in the table. (And please explain that in-battle weather-changing effects can influence these allies.) FYI, the guide also said Malie Garden gets rain just before night, which jives with what I've seen the one time I saw rain at Brooklet Hill and Lush Jungle (about an hour before night).

:::::::::Castform appeared ''where it shouldn't''. According to what you wrote, it ''should'' appear in sandstorm, but it did in rain (and in everything I've done, it didn't in sandstorm). If what you wrote is what the guide says, I cannot (by nature) verify it is wrong, but it is at least incomplete.
:::::::::I'm a Champion. Haina Desert can be accessed once you completed [[Acerola]]'s trial, Malie Garden as soon as you land on Ula'ula (and Lush Jungle is on Akala). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm not arguing what you wrote or anything...? I'm basically saying, do exactly what you did, and update the table when you can verify something different from what it claims for Castform. (Although, for the sake of completeness, I'd actually be more comfortable if you could also verify that making rain with Rain Dance/whatever in the sandstorm area can also yield Castform.)
::::::::::(And yes, I mean go ahead and presume that it can't be found in the weather the guide indicated. If anyone does find it in that weather later, we can revisit it.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:32, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

{{indent}}Just sharing what I have now: datamining suggests there are apparently six "slots" for weather SOS allies, where the odd ones include Goomy, Poliwhirl, Sliggoo (1), Vanillite, Vanillish (3), and Gabite (5) in locations where they should appear in rain (1), snow (3) and sandstorm (5) respectively. I'm sure they do. Politoed/wrath is in slot 0 for day/night, everything else is always Castform in weather SOS locations. So, everything would make perfect sense if the even slots were for rain, snow, and sandstorm as well, but with a smaller probability; the guidebook wouldn't have lied, it would just have been largely incomplete and veeery misleading. And it would additionally make sense that a user recently found Castform in rain on Exeggutor Island, which is where it should be according to the guidebook. The only problem is that ''I cannot find Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm''. I've tested for hours, and there's not a single Castform, so the probability is either ''below'' 1% (and very much harder than to find a Shiny), or there is some special requirement. I thought that special requirement to be that the odd-slot ally itself calls for help, except that Gabite don't ever call for help. Having seen the "call rates" from below (Gabite at 0, but ''not'' Poliwhirl), I'm still willing to test it a Malie Garden (but I can't explain the Exeggutor Island thing). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:Castform definitely appears in rain in Lush Jungle. Even if we're not sure what other weathers it appears in, we should add Rain in instead of "Unknown" since it's clear that rain is a known quantity. I've caught it twice during SOS, but only during the afternoon rainfall on my way home from work. I've tried using Rain Dance and other weathers to trigger, but it's so finnicky and the PP limit makes it tough to trigger Castform under Sunny Day/Hail/Sandstorm conditions, at least without weather ability 'mons like Hidden ability Ninetales.

::Please go ahead with whatever you have. I didn't know that (for sure), but I am sure that ''in-game'' weather is relevant. (And if you could give a rough estimate of the Castform probability (in general and in contrast to Goomy's) here, I'd appreciate that.)
::For the Polis, I will then probably (also) try to get a final form from the initial encounter. (They might have just forgetten to enable/include slots 2 and 4 somehow??)

:::I forgot all about those weather-ally slots... (It wasn't in the early version that I initially saved.)

:::My bets are on that rare/off slot indeed being right around 1%, even given your lack of luck in Haina Desert, Nescientist. I plan to spend a bit in Haina Desert this evening too and see if I can find a Castform in the sandstorm. I probably won't take it as far as that Malie Garden tally, though.

::::And yup, I found Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm after 100+ successful calls.
::::It's also a pretty tough environment, though, what with the threat of sandstorm damage and Sandile's low-ish call rate and annoying moveset/Intimidate. Or Trapinch's Arena Trap, or Dugtrio's much lower call rate. These things could definitely made hours seem like hundreds of calls if you weren't keeping exact track.

:::::Have you by chance also tested whether your Poliwhirl can call Psyduck? In other words, do you know whether each battle uses a fixed set of Pokémon that can be called as allies, or whether that depends on the actual species that calls for help? I seem to destined to miss the rain at Malie Garden.
:::::Other than that, I think we have everything for weather-related SOS Battles then. (I am assuming Castform didn't change to sunny form, right?)

==Chaining SOS Battles==
There appears to be perks for chaining an SOS Battle. I have gotten a Poliwag with 4 perfect IVs and with its Hidden Ability after chaining about 50 Pokémon.

Should it be noted (maybe in a trivia section for example) that it is possible to obtain underlevelled Pokémon through SOS battles (and very easily at that)? It barely requires any effort to find a level 15 Gyarados or a level 30 Wailmer (or a level 10 Salamence, but you'd need a lot of patience for this one).

== Breaking a chain ==

In reponse to [[Special:Diff/2552827|this]], I'll go ahead and share some of my thoughts/experience.

First: I have encountered a Metapod who called Caterpie and then accidentally fainted Metapod, and the calls continued.

But my thought was, this could be because both Caterpie and Metapod are in the encounter data; i.e., they have lists of allies if the game is looking up "Does this Pokemon have allies to call here?".

So, if we want to know if the chain really survives so long as someone in the same family remains active, Metapod/Caterpie aren't really the best way to check it. A number of the other listed SOS allies would work fine, though (particularly the baby Pokemon who often have good call rates), like fainting an Elekid after it calls Electabuzz.

Another interesting potential consequence of my hypothesized game logic above is, even if a Pokemon wouldn't normally have any allies it could call, if you're in a location with potential weather allies, would it be able to call those? (Say, a Trumbeak called by Oranguru/Passimian in Lush Jungle.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just tested out the former situation at Wela Volcano Park, and found that Magmar can call more Magby. I tried to see whether it would also call more Magmar, but couldn't get it to do so before it ran out of PP (80 turns) and Struggled itself to death. I didn't keep an exact count, but I'm sure I got a lot more "Its help didn't appear!"s from Magmar than I've ever had from a non-SOS-exclusive Pokémon, as well as far more turns where it didn't even try to call for help than I usually have from a battle in which I've used an Adrenaline Orb. As a result, I have to wonder whether SOS-exclusive Pokémon are perhaps programmed to call for help less often and less successfully? Obviously this is something we can only probably get from datamining, but it's worth keeping in mind.

::I haven't really (consciously) thought about it that way, so Metapod was perhaps about the only bad guy I could've come up with. But I can say that one Gabite I was trying to get to call for help didn't do so (in ~5-10 turns, before it died off Take Down recoil), and the sandstorm was still ongoing. I'm going to try it again with a Ghost mon maybe (especially after what Pumpkinking said), cause it calling Castform ''then'' would really make so much sense for the above section.
::And to Pumpkinking, SnorlaxMonster added that "(t)he likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species", which would/could explain why Magmar does not call for help as often as Magby do. Also, I'm under the (vague!) impression that calls remain unanswered more often when the AI thinks you're behind or on the edge of losing, when your own HP are low (or something like it, and something else maybe); so ''maybe'' that Magmar was "too strong"???

== Need to Add Specific Info about SOS Battle Mechanics ==

I was just wondering when this page would contain the specific details and numbers about the number of IV's and Shinies when chaining Pokemon using the SOS method. I found this information on the Bulba Handbook for this game, and was wondering when it would be added to the SOS Battle page.

Chain Lengths

The longer the chain, the more chance you have of finding a Pokémon that is shiny, has its hidden Ability, or has perfect IVs. After a chain of 255, the counter goes back to 0 again.

PERFECT IV'S:
Chain length of 0 to 4: No guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 5 to 9: 1 guaranteed perfect IV
Chain length of 10-19: 2 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 20-29: 3 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 30-255: 4 guaranteed perfect IVs

HIDDEN ABILITIES:
Chain length of 0 to 9: 0% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 10 to 19: 5% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 20 to 29: 10% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 30 to 255: 15% chance of Hidden Ability

SHINY CHANCE
A chain length of 70 to 255 gives you a 1/1024 chance of encountering a shiny (normally 1/4096). If you have obtained the Shiny Charm, the chance becomes 1/683 (normally 3/4096).

Breaking the Chain

The following actions will break a chain:

Fleeing the battle
The caller fainting without an ally being present
The caller fainting while the ally is a Pokémon with a call rate of 0
The caller calling a Pokémon that is not of the same family as the caller does not break the chain.

I don't know but I feel like it's important to add all this stuff to this page, but I wanted to ask someone for permission first, I guess, of where to put it instead of just copying and pasting it all on the page.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 22:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon who don't call for help ==
Would it be useful to include a list of Pokémon with a call rate of 0 (as a chart maybe)? It would include Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles, legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon, as well as Exeggutor, Komala, Minior, and Wimpod. --[[User:Dirtytabs|Dirtytabs]] ([[User talk:Dirtytabs|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)
:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula).

::I think a list of Pokémon that cannot call for help, but can appear in the wild, would be useful. Worth noting that "Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles" isn't entirely accurate, since for example Shelgon can call for help; it's only ''most'' SOS call-exclusives. No point listing Pokémon that cannot appear in the wild though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
:::I'm going to try adding a list of Pokémon that can't call for help. If I miss one, or put one in that shouldn't be there, just fix it. [[User:TheDoctorPotter|TheDoctorPotter]] ([[User talk:TheDoctorPotter|talk]]) 19:58, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
::::I added it. Check it out! [[User:TheDoctorPotter|TheDoctorPotter]] ([[User talk:TheDoctorPotter|talk]]) 21:21, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
:::::Should I order them by Alola Dex number or by National Dex number? I did Alola Dex, but if you guys want to change it to National, go ahead - just make sure you put them in the right order.

[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle call.png||220px|thumb|A Totem Pokémon calling for an ally in an SOS Battle]]
[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|220px|thumb|An ally appearing in an SOS Battle]]
An '''SOS Battle''' (Japanese: '''乱入バトル''' ''Intruder Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] in the [[Generation VII]] games, introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. An SOS Battle is a battle in which a [[wild Pokémon]] calls for help from allies, turning a normal one-on-one wild battle into a two-on-one battle.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, once the player clears the first trial with [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]], battles with wild Pokémon can turn into SOS Battles. Trial Pokémon (except Totem Pokémon), [[Island Scan]] Pokémon, [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Ultra Beast]]s, and the [[guardian deities]] do not call for help. [[Totem Pokémon]] always call for help, but use different mechanics to other wild Pokémon.

==Mechanics==
===Totem Pokémon===
In battles with a Totem Pokémon, at the end of the first turn, it will always call for help. A Totem Pokémon's calls are always answered. Totem Pokémon only have a preset set of allies they can call during battle (usually two); once those allies have [[fainting|fainted]], they cannot be called again.

If a Totem Pokémon has multiple possible allies it can call, the ally it calls depends on the Totem Pokémon's current {{stat|HP}}.

===Non-Totem Pokémon===
In battles with non-Totem Pokémon, at the end of the turn, a wild Pokémon that can call for help may call for an ally; however, its call is not always answered. The likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species. Some species (including most Pokémon that can appear exclusively as allies in SOS Battles) cannot call for help.

Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]], but some can summon other Pokémon in their [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|family]], and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon. For some species, the Pokémon that a wild Pokémon can call varies with location.

Non-Totem Pokémon are more likely to call for help after the player sends out a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Unnerve}} as its Ability or uses an [[Adrenaline Orb]]. The Adrenaline Orb can only be used once per battle and will fail if used repeatedly (wasting a turn without being consumed).

Non-Totem Pokémon that have a {{DL|status condition|non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition}} or are in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} will not attempt to call for allies.

If there is only one wild Pokémon present, non-Totem Pokémon may call for help again. Within an SOS Battle, the chance for the called Pokémon to be {{Shiny}}, have perfect {{IV}}s, or have its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} increases with the number of answered calls. After 255 Pokémon have been called into battle, the counter rolls over and these rate go back to their default values but will continue to rise as usual after more Pokémon are called in.<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-anybody-researching-sun-moon-shiny-chaining.450904/ Is Anybody Researching Sun/Moon Shiny Chaining? | GBAtemp.net -> The Independent Video Game Community]</ref> If a Pokémon originally called as an ally is defeated, all [[Effort value|EV]]s earned by defeating it are doubled (including those from [[EV-enhancing item‎]]s).

=====Weather-dependent allies=====
In certain locations, when Pokémon call for allies, a special ally may appear if there is a [[weather]] condition in effect in the battle. This includes weather caused by [[move]]s or [[Ability|Abilities]] during the battle. {{p|Castform}} can appear in any location where weather can affect the allies Pokémon can call, but aside from Castform, each location has a specific Pokémon that can be called in a specific weather (which usually occurs naturally there, though not always persistently).

The table below describes the likelihood of special allies to be called depending on the location and weather.

TheDoctorPotter: /* Pokémon who don't call for help */

==Weather and SOS Battles==
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxHlTuSt44 Castform], Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in [[Lush Jungle]]. I ran into a {{p|Trumbeak}}, used an Adrenaline Orb...and it called 14 Trumbeak before I gave up on it.
:I, for one, have only the ''least'' idea what all the conditions of this are. About how common/rare are they when these special allies ''can'' be called? (Can ''only'' the special Pokemon be called, or can the Pokemon's normal allies still be called?) Does it ''matter'' who the original encounter is? (I.e., is there one Pokemon that can call Castform, and another that can call Goomy, and another for Poliwhirl, and another for Poliwrath, and another for Politoed?) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
::1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
::2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found). This will need to be tested further for more exact percentage chances.
::While this may not be a larger-scale test, it did at least give some insight. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 05:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I've made a basic table based on what you said you tested. If you/anyone can fill out more, that'd be great. I'm not certain how to put this on location pages, but we can figure that out in a little bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:41, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Do you guys have reliable/approved encounter slots? I believe there's one for sun, one for rain, one for hail, one for sandstorm (in that order, so maybe try to get your Poliwhirl '''in sun'''). What I can confirm is that there's Gabite in [[Haina Desert]]'s sandstorm for both Sandile and Trapinch. They appear to be called less likely than their species (but that could also be some SOS mechanic like chains or idk what).

I just realized the Pokedex will show the locations of these weather allies, and Castform appears to be everywhere. Double-checking with the guide (via a third party), I've filled in that table now so it's hopefully complete. Thanks for clarifying some of the things above so we could add this info! I think I know a way to add this to locations, so later on I'll see about doing that.

As a note to myself as much as anything, it may also be nice to note the times these weathers are in effect. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:Are you sure about the Castforms? I believe they're "the rest of weathers" (all other wheathers than the other weather-exclusives). I have not (yet?) seen a Castform in sand at Haina Desert. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:38, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::More than anything, just look up Castform's locations in the Pokedex. But the guide does list Castform and [something else] in every location listed (and its form matches the indicated weather...Sunny Form notwithstanding). (I'm not 100% certain what you mean, though, so if you do find Castform somewhere, I'd be very happy to know the details.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I mean: Does the guidebook say Castform shows up in weather <whatever you listed>? Or just in some weather/at all? Pokédex just says it's there, no weather details. My idea is: you remove whatever weather you need to get something other than Castform, you get only Castform. I found five Gabite, not one Castform in Haina Desert ''in sandstorm''. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::The guide says things like, ''"When it rains, Castform (Rainy Form) and Sliggoo may appear in battles."'' (This is also specifically about SOS allies.) And the Pokedex shows all the weather allies basically the same, whether Castform or Goomy or whoever. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I did a decent amount of battles in Haina Desert. In nearly half an hour during sunshine, neither Gabite nor Castform appeared. (Relating to what I said above, I believe the slot I initially thought to be "sun" is "rain" as well. Which makes senses for the Polis final forms, I'll get back to that below.) In rain, Castform appeared after ten minutes (and immediately transformed to Rainy Form), and/but no Gabite appeared. Same-species allies always appeared, more often.
:::::To summarize: I believe that '''between rain, hail, and sandstorm''', extra species can appear in a specific weather per location (Gabite in Haina Desert in sandstorm, Goomy on Route 17 in rain, etc.); if you change the weather to something else of those, Castform can appear instead. In sun, nothing additional can ever appear (I'm not 100% sure on that one, but fairly certain, despite that being very odd).
:::::In addition, the German page Malie Garden says Politoed can show up at night in both Sun and Moon. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::Can you clarify for me: what's the natural weather condition(s) in Haina Desert?
::::::And are you saying you used something like Sunny Day and Castform appeared?

:::::::There's a sunny and a sandstorm part. Castform appeared in the sunny part after I used Rain Dance. All other tests I've done were in the sandy part (with or without Drought). Poliwhirl would be in Malie Garden, and according to Adamws above, yes (I don't think there's natural rain, at least not for me now). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Since this requires that the guide be wrong, it'd be best if we can verify Castform appearing in weather it "shouldn't" in each place. If this is verified for a given place, feel free to change it in the table. (And please explain that in-battle weather-changing effects can influence these allies.) FYI, the guide also said Malie Garden gets rain just before night, which jives with what I've seen the one time I saw rain at Brooklet Hill and Lush Jungle (about an hour before night).

:::::::::Castform appeared ''where it shouldn't''. According to what you wrote, it ''should'' appear in sandstorm, but it did in rain (and in everything I've done, it didn't in sandstorm). If what you wrote is what the guide says, I cannot (by nature) verify it is wrong, but it is at least incomplete.

{{indent}}Just sharing what I have now: datamining suggests there are apparently six "slots" for weather SOS allies, where the odd ones include Goomy, Poliwhirl, Sliggoo (1), Vanillite, Vanillish (3), and Gabite (5) in locations where they should appear in rain (1), snow (3) and sandstorm (5) respectively. I'm sure they do. Politoed/wrath is in slot 0 for day/night, everything else is always Castform in weather SOS locations. So, everything would make perfect sense if the even slots were for rain, snow, and sandstorm as well, but with a smaller probability; the guidebook wouldn't have lied, it would just have been largely incomplete and veeery misleading. And it would additionally make sense that a user recently found Castform in rain on Exeggutor Island, which is where it should be according to the guidebook. The only problem is that ''I cannot find Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm''. I've tested for hours, and there's not a single Castform, so the probability is either ''below'' 1% (and very much harder than to find a Shiny), or there is some special requirement. I thought that special requirement to be that the odd-slot ally itself calls for help, except that Gabite don't ever call for help. Having seen the "call rates" from below (Gabite at 0, but ''not'' Poliwhirl), I'm still willing to test it a Malie Garden (but I can't explain the Exeggutor Island thing). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:Castform definitely appears in rain in Lush Jungle. Even if we're not sure what other weathers it appears in, we should add Rain in instead of "Unknown" since it's clear that rain is a known quantity. I've caught it twice during SOS, but only during the afternoon rainfall on my way home from work. I've tried using Rain Dance and other weathers to trigger, but it's so finnicky and the PP limit makes it tough to trigger Castform under Sunny Day/Hail/Sandstorm conditions, at least without weather ability 'mons like Hidden ability Ninetales.

::For the Polis, I will then probably (also) try to get a final form from the initial encounter. (They might have just forgetten to enable/include slots 2 and 4 somehow??)

:::I forgot all about those weather-ally slots... (It wasn't in the early version that I initially saved.) Given the pattern there, I tried spending a while in [[Malie Garden]] after it started raining, and I found a Psyduck (high call rate) and kept going until I had 150 answered calls. 133 of those were Psyduck, 15 were Poliwhirl (10%), and 2 were Poliwrath (roughly 1%).
:::My bets are on that rare/off slot indeed being right around 1%, even given your lack of luck in Haina Desert, Nescientist. I plan to spend a bit in Haina Desert this evening too and see if I can find a Castform in the sandstorm. I probably won't take it as far as that Malie Garden tally, though.

::::And yup, I found Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm after 100+ successful calls.
::::It's also a pretty tough environment, though, what with the threat of sandstorm damage and Sandile's low-ish call rate and annoying moveset/Intimidate. Or Trapinch's Arena Trap, or Dugtrio's much lower call rate. These things could definitely made hours seem like hundreds of calls if you weren't keeping exact track.

:::::I had reached a point where I thought out of luck couldn't explain it, that's why my theories became more and more obscure. I didn't count manually and obviously counting PP wouldn't do the job, but I had ~30 Gabite. Thank you for proving me wrong, it's some kind of relief.
:::::Have you by chance also tested whether your Poliwhirl can call Psyduck? In other words, do you know whether each battle uses a fixed set of Pokémon that can be called as allies, or whether that depends on the actual species that calls for help? I seem to destined to miss the rain at Malie Garden.
:::::Other than that, I think we have everything for weather-related SOS Battles then. (I am assuming Castform didn't change to sunny form, right?)

::::::30 Gabite would be pretty terrible luck, yeah... But yes, Poliwhirl can call Psyduck. (On a related subject, if you change day/night hours in the middle of a battle, allies are still called based on when you started the battle.)

==Chaining SOS Battles==
There appears to be perks for chaining an SOS Battle. I have gotten a Poliwag with 4 perfect IVs and with its Hidden Ability after chaining about 50 Pokémon. This probably should be researched more for other perks, like increased shiny chance. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:According to various sources, chaining an SOS Battle can net you Pokémon with hidden abilities and a maximum of four perfect IVs. Can't test it myself, I have no idea how to do it. But I think it's about time this was added to the article but as well as that, I think the redirect for "chaining" should no longer lead to "Poké Radar" and instead go to a disambiguation page between this one and that one.

== Underlevelled Pokémon ==

Should it be noted (maybe in a trivia section for example) that it is possible to obtain underlevelled Pokémon through SOS battles (and very easily at that)? It barely requires any effort to find a level 15 Gyarados or a level 30 Wailmer (or a level 10 Salamence, but you'd need a lot of patience for this one). In other games underlevelled Pokémon are usually restricted to a small amount of places, whereas now you can just get them at almost any fishing spot.

== Breaking a chain ==

In reponse to [[Special:Diff/2552827|this]], I'll go ahead and share some of my thoughts/experience.

First: I have encountered a Metapod who called Caterpie and then accidentally fainted Metapod, and the calls continued.

But my thought was, this could be because both Caterpie and Metapod are in the encounter data; i.e., they have lists of allies if the game is looking up "Does this Pokemon have allies to call here?".

So, if we want to know if the chain really survives so long as someone in the same family remains active, Metapod/Caterpie aren't really the best way to check it. A number of the other listed SOS allies would work fine, though (particularly the baby Pokemon who often have good call rates), like fainting an Elekid after it calls Electabuzz.

Another interesting potential consequence of my hypothesized game logic above is, even if a Pokemon wouldn't normally have any allies it could call, if you're in a location with potential weather allies, would it be able to call those? (Say, a Trumbeak called by Oranguru/Passimian in Lush Jungle.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just tested out the former situation at Wela Volcano Park, and found that Magmar can call more Magby. I tried to see whether it would also call more Magmar, but couldn't get it to do so before it ran out of PP (80 turns) and Struggled itself to death. I didn't keep an exact count, but I'm sure I got a lot more "Its help didn't appear!"s from Magmar than I've ever had from a non-SOS-exclusive Pokémon, as well as far more turns where it didn't even try to call for help than I usually have from a battle in which I've used an Adrenaline Orb. As a result, I have to wonder whether SOS-exclusive Pokémon are perhaps programmed to call for help less often and less successfully? Obviously this is something we can only probably get from datamining, but it's worth keeping in mind.

::I haven't really (consciously) thought about it that way, so Metapod was perhaps about the only bad guy I could've come up with. But I can say that one Gabite I was trying to get to call for help didn't do so (in ~5-10 turns, before it died off Take Down recoil), and the sandstorm was still ongoing. I'm going to try it again with a Ghost mon maybe (especially after what Pumpkinking said), cause it calling Castform ''then'' would really make so much sense for the above section.
::And to Pumpkinking, SnorlaxMonster added that "(t)he likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species", which would/could explain why Magmar does not call for help as often as Magby do. Also, I'm under the (vague!) impression that calls remain unanswered more often when the AI thinks you're behind or on the edge of losing, when your own HP are low (or something like it, and something else maybe); so ''maybe'' that Magmar was "too strong"???

== Need to Add Specific Info about SOS Battle Mechanics ==

I was just wondering when this page would contain the specific details and numbers about the number of IV's and Shinies when chaining Pokemon using the SOS method. I found this information on the Bulba Handbook for this game, and was wondering when it would be added to the SOS Battle page.

Chain Lengths

The longer the chain, the more chance you have of finding a Pokémon that is shiny, has its hidden Ability, or has perfect IVs. After a chain of 255, the counter goes back to 0 again.

PERFECT IV'S:
Chain length of 0 to 4: No guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 5 to 9: 1 guaranteed perfect IV
Chain length of 10-19: 2 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 20-29: 3 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 30-255: 4 guaranteed perfect IVs

HIDDEN ABILITIES:
Chain length of 0 to 9: 0% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 10 to 19: 5% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 20 to 29: 10% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 30 to 255: 15% chance of Hidden Ability

SHINY CHANCE
A chain length of 70 to 255 gives you a 1/1024 chance of encountering a shiny (normally 1/4096). If you have obtained the Shiny Charm, the chance becomes 1/683 (normally 3/4096).

Breaking the Chain

The following actions will break a chain:

Fleeing the battle
The caller fainting without an ally being present
The caller fainting while the ally is a Pokémon with a call rate of 0
The caller calling a Pokémon that is not of the same family as the caller does not break the chain.

I don't know but I feel like it's important to add all this stuff to this page, but I wanted to ask someone for permission first, I guess, of where to put it instead of just copying and pasting it all on the page.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 22:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon who don't call for help ==
Would it be useful to include a list of Pokémon with a call rate of 0 (as a chart maybe)? It would include Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles, legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon, as well as Exeggutor, Komala, Minior, and Wimpod. --[[User:Dirtytabs|Dirtytabs]] ([[User talk:Dirtytabs|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)
:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula).

SOS Battle

2017-01-09T21:19:52Z

TheDoctorPotter: Added a table of Pokémon that do not call for help. Please do not delete it; I feel that it is necessary, and I put a lot of work into it.

[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle call.png||220px|thumb|A Totem Pokémon calling for an ally in an SOS Battle]]
[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|220px|thumb|An ally appearing in an SOS Battle]]
An '''SOS Battle''' (Japanese: '''乱入バトル''' ''Intruder Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] in the [[Generation VII]] games, introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. An SOS Battle is a battle in which a [[wild Pokémon]] calls for help from allies, turning a normal one-on-one wild battle into a two-on-one battle.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, once the player clears the first trial with [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]], battles with wild Pokémon can turn into SOS Battles. Trial Pokémon (except Totem Pokémon), [[Island Scan]] Pokémon, [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Ultra Beast]]s, and the [[guardian deities]] do not call for help. [[Totem Pokémon]] always call for help, but use different mechanics to other wild Pokémon.

==Mechanics==
===Totem Pokémon===
In battles with a Totem Pokémon, at the end of the first turn, it will always call for help. A Totem Pokémon's calls are always answered. Totem Pokémon only have a preset set of allies they can call during battle (usually two); once those allies have [[fainting|fainted]], they cannot be called again.

If a Totem Pokémon has multiple possible allies it can call, the ally it calls depends on the Totem Pokémon's current {{stat|HP}}.

===Non-Totem Pokémon===
In battles with non-Totem Pokémon, at the end of the turn, a wild Pokémon that can call for help may call for an ally; however, its call is not always answered. The likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species. Some species (including most Pokémon that can appear exclusively as allies in SOS Battles) cannot call for help.

Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]], but some can summon other Pokémon in their [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|family]], and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon. For some species, the Pokémon that a wild Pokémon can call varies with location.

Non-Totem Pokémon are more likely to call for help after the player sends out a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Unnerve}} as its Ability or uses an [[Adrenaline Orb]]. The Adrenaline Orb can only be used once per battle and will fail if used repeatedly (wasting a turn without being consumed).

Non-Totem Pokémon that have a {{DL|status condition|non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition}} or are in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} will not attempt to call for allies.

If there is only one wild Pokémon present, non-Totem Pokémon may call for help again. Within an SOS Battle, the chance for the called Pokémon to be {{Shiny}}, have perfect {{IV}}s, or have its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} increases with the number of answered calls. After 255 Pokémon have been called into battle, the counter rolls over and these rate go back to their default values but will continue to rise as usual after more Pokémon are called in.<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-anybody-researching-sun-moon-shiny-chaining.450904/ Is Anybody Researching Sun/Moon Shiny Chaining? | GBAtemp.net -> The Independent Video Game Community]</ref> If a Pokémon originally called as an ally is defeated, all [[Effort value|EV]]s earned by defeating it are doubled (including those from [[EV-enhancing item‎]]s).

====SOS Battle allies====
Most non-Totem Pokémon only call for allies of the same species as themselves. The list below describes all Pokémon that can summon allies that are not of the same species as the original encounter.

=====Weather-dependent allies=====
In certain locations, when Pokémon call for allies, a special ally may appear if there is a [[weather]] condition in effect in the battle. This includes weather caused by [[move]]s or [[Ability|Abilities]] during the battle. {{p|Castform}} can appear in any location where weather can affect the allies Pokémon can call, but aside from Castform, each location has a specific Pokémon that can be called in a specific weather (which usually occurs naturally there, though not always persistently).

The table below describes the likelihood of special allies to be called depending on the location and weather.

TheDoctorPotter: /* Pokémon who don't call for help */

==Weather and SOS Battles==
I'm not sure how we will want to handle this on the page and on the other location pages but, weather does affect the Pokémon that appear in an SOS Battle. Pokémon such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxHlTuSt44 Castform], Goomy, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed only appear if it is raining. Other Pokémon may also appear with the other weather conditions in play. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:I've so far been able to try an SOS Battle once while it was raining in [[Lush Jungle]]. I ran into a {{p|Trumbeak}}, used an Adrenaline Orb...and it called 14 Trumbeak before I gave up on it.
:I, for one, have only the ''least'' idea what all the conditions of this are. About how common/rare are they when these special allies ''can'' be called? (Can ''only'' the special Pokemon be called, or can the Pokemon's normal allies still be called?) Does it ''matter'' who the original encounter is? (I.e., is there one Pokemon that can call Castform, and another that can call Goomy, and another for Poliwhirl, and another for Poliwrath, and another for Politoed?) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::Okay, I did a small scale test in Malie Garden during the day in Moon. I can, in part, answer your questions.
::1. Pokémon can summon their normal allies as well as the special Pokémon. They will more commonly summon their normal allies than a special Pokémon (with 10 successful calls from Psyduck in the rain, nine were Psyduck and one was a Poliwhirl).
::2. All Pokémon in the area can summon any of the special Pokémon, as I was able to encounter at least one Poliwhirl with each specie I tested. My guess is that each special Pokémon has a different chance of being summoned for each area (example: Poliwhirl, Poliwrath (day only), Politoad (night only), and Castform are all obtainable through SOS Battles in the rain in Malie Garden, but on Route 17 under the same circumstances, only Castform can be found). This will need to be tested further for more exact percentage chances.
::While this may not be a larger-scale test, it did at least give some insight. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 05:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I've made a basic table based on what you said you tested. If you/anyone can fill out more, that'd be great. I'm not certain how to put this on location pages, but we can figure that out in a little bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:41, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Do you guys have reliable/approved encounter slots? I believe there's one for sun, one for rain, one for hail, one for sandstorm (in that order, so maybe try to get your Poliwhirl '''in sun'''). What I can confirm is that there's Gabite in [[Haina Desert]]'s sandstorm for both Sandile and Trapinch. They appear to be called less likely than their species (but that could also be some SOS mechanic like chains or idk what). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::Weather Pokemon are not at all part of all the other normal wild encounter data. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:48, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I just realized the Pokedex will show the locations of these weather allies, and Castform appears to be everywhere. Double-checking with the guide (via a third party), I've filled in that table now so it's hopefully complete. Thanks for clarifying some of the things above so we could add this info! I think I know a way to add this to locations, so later on I'll see about doing that.

As a note to myself as much as anything, it may also be nice to note the times these weathers are in effect. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:Are you sure about the Castforms? I believe they're "the rest of weathers" (all other wheathers than the other weather-exclusives). I have not (yet?) seen a Castform in sand at Haina Desert. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:38, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::More than anything, just look up Castform's locations in the Pokedex. But the guide does list Castform and [something else] in every location listed (and its form matches the indicated weather...Sunny Form notwithstanding). (I'm not 100% certain what you mean, though, so if you do find Castform somewhere, I'd be very happy to know the details.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I mean: Does the guidebook say Castform shows up in weather <whatever you listed>? Or just in some weather/at all? Pokédex just says it's there, no weather details. My idea is: you remove whatever weather you need to get something other than Castform, you get only Castform. I found five Gabite, not one Castform in Haina Desert ''in sandstorm''. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::The guide says things like, ''"When it rains, Castform (Rainy Form) and Sliggoo may appear in battles."'' (This is also specifically about SOS allies.) And the Pokedex shows all the weather allies basically the same, whether Castform or Goomy or whoever. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::I did a decent amount of battles in Haina Desert. In nearly half an hour during sunshine, neither Gabite nor Castform appeared. (Relating to what I said above, I believe the slot I initially thought to be "sun" is "rain" as well. Which makes senses for the Polis final forms, I'll get back to that below.) In rain, Castform appeared after ten minutes (and immediately transformed to Rainy Form), and/but no Gabite appeared. Same-species allies always appeared, more often.
:::::To summarize: I believe that '''between rain, hail, and sandstorm''', extra species can appear in a specific weather per location (Gabite in Haina Desert in sandstorm, Goomy on Route 17 in rain, etc.); if you change the weather to something else of those, Castform can appear instead. In sun, nothing additional can ever appear (I'm not 100% sure on that one, but fairly certain, despite that being very odd).
:::::In addition, the German page Malie Garden says Politoed can show up at night in both Sun and Moon. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::Can you clarify for me: what's the natural weather condition(s) in Haina Desert?
::::::And are you saying you used something like Sunny Day and Castform appeared?
::::::(If so) By that logic, can you use Rain Dance and get Poliwhirl (or some such, depending on where you are)? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::There's a sunny and a sandstorm part. Castform appeared in the sunny part after I used Rain Dance. All other tests I've done were in the sandy part (with or without Drought). Poliwhirl would be in Malie Garden, and according to Adamws above, yes (I don't think there's natural rain, at least not for me now). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Since this requires that the guide be wrong, it'd be best if we can verify Castform appearing in weather it "shouldn't" in each place. If this is verified for a given place, feel free to change it in the table. (And please explain that in-battle weather-changing effects can influence these allies.) FYI, the guide also said Malie Garden gets rain just before night, which jives with what I've seen the one time I saw rain at Brooklet Hill and Lush Jungle (about an hour before night).
::::::::Also, just to check, where are you in the island challenge?

:::::::::Castform appeared ''where it shouldn't''. According to what you wrote, it ''should'' appear in sandstorm, but it did in rain (and in everything I've done, it didn't in sandstorm). If what you wrote is what the guide says, I cannot (by nature) verify it is wrong, but it is at least incomplete.
:::::::::I'm a Champion. Haina Desert can be accessed once you completed [[Acerola]]'s trial, Malie Garden as soon as you land on Ula'ula (and Lush Jungle is on Akala). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm not arguing what you wrote or anything...? I'm basically saying, do exactly what you did, and update the table when you can verify something different from what it claims for Castform. (Although, for the sake of completeness, I'd actually be more comfortable if you could also verify that making rain with Rain Dance/whatever in the sandstorm area can also yield Castform.)
::::::::::(And yes, I mean go ahead and presume that it can't be found in the weather the guide indicated. If anyone does find it in that weather later, we can revisit it.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:32, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

{{indent}}Just sharing what I have now: datamining suggests there are apparently six "slots" for weather SOS allies, where the odd ones include Goomy, Poliwhirl, Sliggoo (1), Vanillite, Vanillish (3), and Gabite (5) in locations where they should appear in rain (1), snow (3) and sandstorm (5) respectively. I'm sure they do. Politoed/wrath is in slot 0 for day/night, everything else is always Castform in weather SOS locations. So, everything would make perfect sense if the even slots were for rain, snow, and sandstorm as well, but with a smaller probability; the guidebook wouldn't have lied, it would just have been largely incomplete and veeery misleading. And it would additionally make sense that a user recently found Castform in rain on Exeggutor Island, which is where it should be according to the guidebook. The only problem is that ''I cannot find Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm''. I've tested for hours, and there's not a single Castform, so the probability is either ''below'' 1% (and very much harder than to find a Shiny), or there is some special requirement. I thought that special requirement to be that the odd-slot ally itself calls for help, except that Gabite don't ever call for help. Having seen the "call rates" from below (Gabite at 0, but ''not'' Poliwhirl), I'm still willing to test it a Malie Garden (but I can't explain the Exeggutor Island thing). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:Castform definitely appears in rain in Lush Jungle. Even if we're not sure what other weathers it appears in, we should add Rain in instead of "Unknown" since it's clear that rain is a known quantity. I've caught it twice during SOS, but only during the afternoon rainfall on my way home from work. I've tried using Rain Dance and other weathers to trigger, but it's so finnicky and the PP limit makes it tough to trigger Castform under Sunny Day/Hail/Sandstorm conditions, at least without weather ability 'mons like Hidden ability Ninetales.

::Please go ahead with whatever you have. I didn't know that (for sure), but I am sure that ''in-game'' weather is relevant. (And if you could give a rough estimate of the Castform probability (in general and in contrast to Goomy's) here, I'd appreciate that.)
::For the Polis, I will then probably (also) try to get a final form from the initial encounter. (They might have just forgetten to enable/include slots 2 and 4 somehow??) And I'm interested in whether Poliwhirl can only call Poliwhirl, or also whatever the original encounter was. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I forgot all about those weather-ally slots... (It wasn't in the early version that I initially saved.) Given the pattern there, I tried spending a while in [[Malie Garden]] after it started raining, and I found a Psyduck (high call rate) and kept going until I had 150 answered calls. 133 of those were Psyduck, 15 were Poliwhirl (10%), and 2 were Poliwrath (roughly 1%).
:::My bets are on that rare/off slot indeed being right around 1%, even given your lack of luck in Haina Desert, Nescientist. I plan to spend a bit in Haina Desert this evening too and see if I can find a Castform in the sandstorm. I probably won't take it as far as that Malie Garden tally, though.

::::And yup, I found Castform in Haina Desert's sandstorm after 100+ successful calls.
::::It's also a pretty tough environment, though, what with the threat of sandstorm damage and Sandile's low-ish call rate and annoying moveset/Intimidate. Or Trapinch's Arena Trap, or Dugtrio's much lower call rate. These things could definitely made hours seem like hundreds of calls if you weren't keeping exact track.

:::::I had reached a point where I thought out of luck couldn't explain it, that's why my theories became more and more obscure. I didn't count manually and obviously counting PP wouldn't do the job, but I had ~30 Gabite. Thank you for proving me wrong, it's some kind of relief.
:::::Have you by chance also tested whether your Poliwhirl can call Psyduck? In other words, do you know whether each battle uses a fixed set of Pokémon that can be called as allies, or whether that depends on the actual species that calls for help? I seem to destined to miss the rain at Malie Garden.
:::::Other than that, I think we have everything for weather-related SOS Battles then. (I am assuming Castform didn't change to sunny form, right?) I'm interested to see what bright idea you have to include that on location pages, and also whether you have an idea for here. I guess my ideas suck.

::::::30 Gabite would be pretty terrible luck, yeah... But yes, Poliwhirl can call Psyduck. (On a related subject, if you change day/night hours in the middle of a battle, allies are still called based on when you started the battle.) And Castform came in normal and stayed like that until, coincidentally, it then used Sunny Day. =P

==Chaining SOS Battles==
There appears to be perks for chaining an SOS Battle. I have gotten a Poliwag with 4 perfect IVs and with its Hidden Ability after chaining about 50 Pokémon. This probably should be researched more for other perks, like increased shiny chance. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 01:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:According to various sources, chaining an SOS Battle can net you Pokémon with hidden abilities and a maximum of four perfect IVs. Can't test it myself, I have no idea how to do it. But I think it's about time this was added to the article but as well as that, I think the redirect for "chaining" should no longer lead to "Poké Radar" and instead go to a disambiguation page between this one and that one.

::If someone finds more exact information, we should surely cover that (and maybe a bit more prominently). I was just trying to see Castform, so all I can do is hint at it rather carefully.
::For chaining, I don't know if it's been mentioned ''officially'' for the Radar. If not, the disambig might also include [[fishing]]. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

::It's from a guidebook, and also seen in the Pokédex. Please read the above section for why we're still holding off on Castform.

== Underlevelled Pokémon ==

Should it be noted (maybe in a trivia section for example) that it is possible to obtain underlevelled Pokémon through SOS battles (and very easily at that)? It barely requires any effort to find a level 15 Gyarados or a level 30 Wailmer (or a level 10 Salamence, but you'd need a lot of patience for this one). In other games underlevelled Pokémon are usually restricted to a small amount of places, whereas now you can just get them at almost any fishing spot. [[User:Svenskig|Svenskig]] ([[User talk:Svenskig|talk]]) 15:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:I don't think it's needed. They have always been there (see [[Level#Underleveled Pokémon]]), and "easy to get" seems neither encyclopedical nor really relevant. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 23:11, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

== Breaking a chain ==

In reponse to [[Special:Diff/2552827|this]], I'll go ahead and share some of my thoughts/experience.

First: I have encountered a Metapod who called Caterpie and then accidentally fainted Metapod, and the calls continued.

But my thought was, this could be because both Caterpie and Metapod are in the encounter data; i.e., they have lists of allies if the game is looking up "Does this Pokemon have allies to call here?".

So, if we want to know if the chain really survives so long as someone in the same family remains active, Metapod/Caterpie aren't really the best way to check it. A number of the other listed SOS allies would work fine, though (particularly the baby Pokemon who often have good call rates), like fainting an Elekid after it calls Electabuzz.

Another interesting potential consequence of my hypothesized game logic above is, even if a Pokemon wouldn't normally have any allies it could call, if you're in a location with potential weather allies, would it be able to call those? (Say, a Trumbeak called by Oranguru/Passimian in Lush Jungle.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just tested out the former situation at Wela Volcano Park, and found that Magmar can call more Magby. I tried to see whether it would also call more Magmar, but couldn't get it to do so before it ran out of PP (80 turns) and Struggled itself to death. I didn't keep an exact count, but I'm sure I got a lot more "Its help didn't appear!"s from Magmar than I've ever had from a non-SOS-exclusive Pokémon, as well as far more turns where it didn't even try to call for help than I usually have from a battle in which I've used an Adrenaline Orb. As a result, I have to wonder whether SOS-exclusive Pokémon are perhaps programmed to call for help less often and less successfully? Obviously this is something we can only probably get from datamining, but it's worth keeping in mind. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:26, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
::I haven't really (consciously) thought about it that way, so Metapod was perhaps about the only bad guy I could've come up with. But I can say that one Gabite I was trying to get to call for help didn't do so (in ~5-10 turns, before it died off Take Down recoil), and the sandstorm was still ongoing. I'm going to try it again with a Ghost mon maybe (especially after what Pumpkinking said), cause it calling Castform ''then'' would really make so much sense for the above section.
::And to Pumpkinking, SnorlaxMonster added that "(t)he likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species", which would/could explain why Magmar does not call for help as often as Magby do. Also, I'm under the (vague!) impression that calls remain unanswered more often when the AI thinks you're behind or on the edge of losing, when your own HP are low (or something like it, and something else maybe); so ''maybe'' that Magmar was "too strong"???

:::[http://pastebin.com/Uv3k3QYW This list] purports to be call rates, but also note that it says it's not confirmed. I'm not sure specifically how it's unconfirmed though (i.e. whether this is data extracted from the game that is just assumed to be call rates, or whether it's entirely empirically derived). I haven't looked into the Pokémon that should be on there, but instead have are not listed (i.e. have call rate 0).--[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Also, after battling it for a very long time, I'm fairly confident the second Wishiwashi you battle leading up to Lana's trial is guaranteed to call for help every turn. I never tried inflicting a status condition on it though, nor did I try KOing the original and checking whether this applies to the called allies too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:20, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
::::They apparently have the values datamined, but they only believe they're related to SOS Battles, and they certainly don't have a formula.

[[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:44, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::Okay, I successfully got a Trumbeak called by an Oranguru to call another Trumbeak. It looks like whether or not a Pokémon is in the same evolutionary family as the original caller is irrelevant, only whether or not its call rate is 0.

== Need to Add Specific Info about SOS Battle Mechanics ==

I was just wondering when this page would contain the specific details and numbers about the number of IV's and Shinies when chaining Pokemon using the SOS method. I found this information on the Bulba Handbook for this game, and was wondering when it would be added to the SOS Battle page.

Chain Lengths

The longer the chain, the more chance you have of finding a Pokémon that is shiny, has its hidden Ability, or has perfect IVs. After a chain of 255, the counter goes back to 0 again.

PERFECT IV'S:
Chain length of 0 to 4: No guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 5 to 9: 1 guaranteed perfect IV
Chain length of 10-19: 2 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 20-29: 3 guaranteed perfect IVs
Chain length of 30-255: 4 guaranteed perfect IVs

HIDDEN ABILITIES:
Chain length of 0 to 9: 0% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 10 to 19: 5% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 20 to 29: 10% chance of Hidden Ability
Chain length of 30 to 255: 15% chance of Hidden Ability

SHINY CHANCE
A chain length of 70 to 255 gives you a 1/1024 chance of encountering a shiny (normally 1/4096). If you have obtained the Shiny Charm, the chance becomes 1/683 (normally 3/4096).

Breaking the Chain

The following actions will break a chain:

Fleeing the battle
The caller fainting without an ally being present
The caller fainting while the ally is a Pokémon with a call rate of 0
The caller calling a Pokémon that is not of the same family as the caller does not break the chain.

I don't know but I feel like it's important to add all this stuff to this page, but I wanted to ask someone for permission first, I guess, of where to put it instead of just copying and pasting it all on the page.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 22:16, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
:Other than the specific numerical data (which we should add, if it's verified correct), the vast majority of that information is already on the page. Read the prose more closely. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
All right, thanks.--[[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 00:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

== Pokémon who don't call for help ==
Would it be useful to include a list of Pokémon with a call rate of 0 (as a chart maybe)? It would include Pokémon encountered exclusively through SOS Battles, legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon, as well as Exeggutor, Komala, Minior, and Wimpod. --[[User:Dirtytabs|Dirtytabs]] ([[User talk:Dirtytabs|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
:Right now, I believe it's not worth it. This very page already mentions that Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, guardian deities, and Island Scan Pokémon won't call for help. The others you mentioned (plus Butterfree) could be included here as well, maybe. (I don't know whether it would really be useful here, and I tend to believe that it's more useful as "N/A" at individual location pages anyway, which is what we already do.)
:Apart from that, I think something like ''List of Pokémon by call rate'' would ultimately be more useful; you can find the (assumed) rates in the "Breaking a chain" section above. Right now, however, there's more than half of all species with a rate of zero (incl. all the ones not found in Alola), and listing a value of "3" or something isn't really helpful when we can't really make sense out of that (i.e., when we don't know, or don't mention, a call formula). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:37, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
::I think a list of Pokémon that cannot call for help, but can appear in the wild, would be useful.

No point listing Pokémon that cannot appear in the wild though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

SOS Battle

2017-01-09T19:53:12Z

TheDoctorPotter: /* Trivia */

[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle call.png||220px|thumb|A Totem Pokémon calling for an ally in an SOS Battle]]
[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|220px|thumb|An ally appearing in an SOS Battle]]
An '''SOS Battle''' (Japanese: '''乱入バトル''' ''Intruder Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] in the [[Generation VII]] games, introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. An SOS Battle is a battle in which a [[wild Pokémon]] calls for help from allies, turning a normal one-on-one wild battle into a two-on-one battle.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, once the player clears the first trial with [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]], battles with wild Pokémon can turn into SOS Battles. Trial Pokémon (except Totem Pokémon), [[Island Scan]] Pokémon, [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Ultra Beast]]s, and the [[guardian deities]] do not call for help. [[Totem Pokémon]] always call for help, but use different mechanics to other wild Pokémon.

==Mechanics==
===Totem Pokémon===
In battles with a Totem Pokémon, at the end of the first turn, it will always call for help. A Totem Pokémon's calls are always answered. Totem Pokémon only have a preset set of allies they can call during battle (usually two); once those allies have [[fainting|fainted]], they cannot be called again.

If a Totem Pokémon has multiple possible allies it can call, the ally it calls depends on the Totem Pokémon's current {{stat|HP}}.

===Non-Totem Pokémon===
In battles with non-Totem Pokémon, at the end of the turn, a wild Pokémon that can call for help may call for an ally; however, its call is not always answered. The likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species. Some species (including most Pokémon that can appear exclusively as allies in SOS Battles) cannot call for help.

Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]], but some can summon other Pokémon in their [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|family]], and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon. For some species, the Pokémon that a wild Pokémon can call varies with location.

Non-Totem Pokémon are more likely to call for help after the player sends out a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Unnerve}} as its Ability or uses an [[Adrenaline Orb]]. The Adrenaline Orb can only be used once per battle and will fail if used repeatedly (wasting a turn without being consumed).

Non-Totem Pokémon that have a {{DL|status condition|non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition}} or are in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} will not attempt to call for allies.

If there is only one wild Pokémon present, non-Totem Pokémon may call for help again. Within an SOS Battle, the chance for the called Pokémon to be {{Shiny}}, have perfect {{IV}}s, or have its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} increases with the number of answered calls. After 255 Pokémon have been called into battle, the counter rolls over and these rate go back to their default values but will continue to rise as usual after more Pokémon are called in.<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-anybody-researching-sun-moon-shiny-chaining.450904/ Is Anybody Researching Sun/Moon Shiny Chaining? | GBAtemp.net -> The Independent Video Game Community]</ref> If a Pokémon originally called as an ally is defeated, all [[Effort value|EV]]s earned by defeating it are doubled (including those from [[EV-enhancing item‎]]s).

=====Weather-dependent allies=====
In certain locations, when Pokémon call for allies, a special ally may appear if there is a [[weather]] condition in effect in the battle. This includes weather caused by [[move]]s or [[Ability|Abilities]] during the battle. {{p|Castform}} can appear in any location where weather can affect the allies Pokémon can call, but aside from Castform, each location has a specific Pokémon that can be called in a specific weather (which usually occurs naturally there, though not always persistently).

The table below describes the likelihood of special allies to be called depending on the location and weather.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Kangaskhan}} sometimes appearing as {{p|Cubone}}'s ally in an SOS Battle may be a reference to the popular fan theory claiming that Cubone was at some point planned to be the pre-evolved form of Kangaskhan.
* {{p|Miltank}} sometimes appears as {{p|Tauros}}'s ally, which may be a reference to them being considered counterparts of each other.
* {{p|Mareanie}} and {{p|Sableye}}'s habit of attacking their ally {{p|Corsola}} and {{p|Carbink}}, respectively, is a reference to them using these Pokémon as their source of food.
* All Pokémon that can call for {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}} are [[baby Pokémon]], likely referring to Chansey's caring and motherly nature.
** The only baby Pokémon who can't call for Happiny or Chansey is {{p|Magby}}.
* Sometimes a {{p|Tentacruel}}'s cry for help may be answered by a {{p|Lumineon}}. This can be taken as a reference to Lumineon's habit of hunting {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} for food, meaning that they possibly mistake Tentacruel's red spheres for Staryu or Starmie's gem.

[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|220px|thumb|An ally appearing in an SOS Battle]]
An '''SOS Battle''' (Japanese: '''乱入バトル''' ''Intruder Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] in the [[Generation VII]] games, introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. An SOS Battle is a battle in which a [[wild Pokémon]] calls for help from allies, turning a normal one-on-one wild battle into a two-on-one battle.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, once the player clears the first trial with [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]], battles with wild Pokémon can turn into SOS Battles. Trial Pokémon (except Totem Pokémon), [[Island Scan]] Pokémon, [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Ultra Beast]]s, and the [[guardian deities]] do not call for help. [[Totem Pokémon]] always call for help, but use different mechanics to other wild Pokémon.

==Mechanics==
===Totem Pokémon===
In battles with a Totem Pokémon, at the end of the first turn, it will always call for help. A Totem Pokémon's calls are always answered. Totem Pokémon only have a preset set of allies they can call during battle (usually two); once those allies have [[fainting|fainted]], they cannot be called again.

If a Totem Pokémon has multiple possible allies it can call, the ally it calls depends on the Totem Pokémon's current {{stat|HP}}.

===Non-Totem Pokémon===
In battles with non-Totem Pokémon, at the end of the turn, a wild Pokémon that can call for help may call for an ally; however, its call is not always answered. The likelihood of a wild Pokémon calling for help depends on its species. Some species (including most Pokémon that can appear exclusively as allies in SOS Battles) cannot call for help.

Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]], but some can summon other Pokémon in their [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|family]], and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon. For some species, the Pokémon that a wild Pokémon can call varies with location.

Non-Totem Pokémon are more likely to call for help after the player sends out a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}}, {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Unnerve}} as its Ability or uses an [[Adrenaline Orb]]. The Adrenaline Orb can only be used once per battle and will fail if used repeatedly (wasting a turn without being consumed).

Non-Totem Pokémon that have a {{DL|status condition|non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition}} or are in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} will not attempt to call for allies.

If there is only one wild Pokémon present, non-Totem Pokémon may call for help again. Within an SOS Battle, the chance for the called Pokémon to be {{Shiny}}, have perfect {{IV}}s, or have its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} increases with the number of answered calls. After 255 Pokémon have been called into battle, the counter rolls over and these rate go back to their default values but will continue to rise as usual after more Pokémon are called in.<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-anybody-researching-sun-moon-shiny-chaining.450904/ Is Anybody Researching Sun/Moon Shiny Chaining? | GBAtemp.net -> The Independent Video Game Community]</ref> If a Pokémon originally called as an ally is defeated, all [[Effort value|EV]]s earned by defeating it are doubled (including those from [[EV-enhancing item‎]]s).

==Trivia==
* {{p|Kangaskhan}} sometimes appearing as {{p|Cubone}}'s ally in an SOS Battle may be a reference to the popular fan theory claiming that Cubone was at some point planned to be the pre-evolved form of Kangaskhan.
* {{p|Miltank}} sometimes appears as {{p|Tauros}}'s ally, which may be a reference to the theory that the two are related somehow.
* {{p|Mareanie}} and {{p|Sableye}}'s habit of attacking their ally {{p|Corsola}} and {{p|Carbink}}, respectively, is a reference to them using these Pokémon as their source of food.
* All Pokémon that can call for {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}} are [[baby Pokémon]], likely referring to Chansey's caring and motherly nature.
** The only baby Pokémon who can't call for Happiny or Chansey is {{p|Magby}}.
* Sometimes a {{p|Tentacruel}}'s cry for help may be answered by a {{p|Lumineon}}. This can be taken as a reference to Lumineon's habit of hunting {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} for food, meaning that they possibly mistake Tentacruel's red spheres for Staryu or Starmie's gem.

Welcome to my page... such as it is.
I'm TheDoctorPotter, and I'm a relatively new user to Bulbapedia: I joined sometime around mid-2016. Most of my edits have been to add missing bits of information to existing pages, or to correct errors if I see one. Ever since I was granted the power to make new pages... I've made about three, which are all just intended as redirects to existing pages. (You're welcome, people who just wanted to know why Pokémon call for help and didn't know that's called an SOS battle. I kid, of course, but that's one of the redirects I made.)
I'm an English speaker, and I've seen all the episodes of the anime dub and have played Pokémon Diamond (though I no longer have it), Pokémon Omega Ruby, and Pokémon Moon. So, yeah, nice to meet ya, hopefully my page didn't actively depress you, and have a great day!

Honestly, if you came to my page expecting awesomeness and cool visuals... sorry. I'm no good at that. No idea how to do it in this editor. But I'll try!

== What I'll edit/do ==
Like I said, mostly all I'll do is add in bits that I think should be on pages - like trivia! I love trivia. Did you know that if the DNA in your body was uncoiled and strung end to end it'd stretch twice the length of the Solar System? *erhem* Yes, I know, that's not Pokémon-related, but STILL. Trivia is awesome. If I find any trivia online about a thing in Pokémon or a Pokémon that isn't in Bulbapedia...

Pokérus

2017-01-05T00:04:25Z

TheDoctorPotter: Style fix

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{Shiny}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and may flee from it, many players don't have a Pokémon with the virus.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. A Pokémon's chances of being infected with the virus somewhat increase when a Pokémon has been traded from another game.{{fact}}

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. From Generation III onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future.

Due to the beneficial nature of Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]].

{{incomplete|section|needs=What happens when the player performs the "saving inside a Pokémon Center" process described below in other generations besides Generation 3}}
In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building.

====Technical information====
Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Duration (Y value)
|- style="background: #fff"
| A || 0, 4, 8, 12 || 1 day
|- style="background: #fff"
| B || 1, 5, 9, 13 || 2 days
|- style="background: #fff"
| C || 2, 6, 10, 14 || 3 days
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | D
| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====In Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen.

If a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====In Generation III====
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

=====Nurse's comments=====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught Pokérus]]
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. Starting in this Generation, Pokérus will double the [[Effort value|EVs]] obtained from the [[EV-enhancing item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

=====Nurse's comments=====

"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====In Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

=====Pseudorandom number generation=====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation VI====
In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured.

TheDoctorPotter: Style fix

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{Shiny}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and may flee from it, many players don't have a Pokémon with the virus.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. A Pokémon's chances of being infected with the virus somewhat increase when a Pokémon has been traded from another game.{{fact}}

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. From Generation III onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future.

Due to the beneficial nature of Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]].

{{incomplete|section|needs=What happens when the player performs the "saving inside a Pokémon Center" process described below in other generations besides Generation 3}}
In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building.

====Technical information====
Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Duration (Y value)
|- style="background: #fff"
| A || 0, 4, 8, 12 || 1 day
|- style="background: #fff"
| B || 1, 5, 9, 13 || 2 days
|- style="background: #fff"
| C || 2, 6, 10, 14 || 3 days
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | D
| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====In Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen.

If a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====In Generation III====
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

=====Nurse's comments=====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught Pokérus]]
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. Starting in this Generation, Pokérus will double the [[Effort value|EVs]] obtained from the [[EV-enhancing item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

=====Nurse's comments=====

"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====In Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

=====Pseudorandom number generation=====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation VI====
In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====In Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen.

If a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====In Generation III====
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

=====Nurse's comments=====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught Pokérus]]
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. Starting in this Generation, Pokérus will double the [[Effort value|EVs]] obtained from the [[EV-enhancing item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

=====Nurse's comments=====

"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====In Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

=====Pseudorandom number generation=====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation VI====
In Generation VI, Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====In Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

==In the anime==
In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realize that the infection is, in fact, Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

Pokérus

2017-01-05T00:00:58Z

TheDoctorPotter: Added that fact that the Pokerus icon in Gen 7 is the same as Gen 6.

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, either {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{Shiny}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and may flee from it, many players don't have a Pokémon with the virus.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. A Pokémon's chances of being infected with the virus somewhat increase when a Pokémon has been traded from another game.{{fact}}

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. From Generation III onward, {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future.

Due to the beneficial nature of Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]].

{{incomplete|section|needs=What happens when the player performs the "saving inside a Pokémon Center" process described below in other generations besides Generation 3}}
In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building.

====Technical information====
Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Duration (Y value)
|- style="background: #fff"

| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====In Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen.

If a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>.

====In Generation III====
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

====In Generation IV====

==In the anime==
In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realize that the infection is, in fact, Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

'''Stunfisk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マッギョ''' ''Maggyo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Electric}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
[[File:Cilan Stunfisk smiling.png|left|thumb|200px|Stunfisk smiling]]
Stunfisk is a flat, fish-like Pokémon with a broad, mud-brown body. At the base of its yellow tail is a yellow marking shaped like an {{wp|exclamation mark}} when seen from behind. It has small, horizontal, oval-shaped eyes, white with a tiny black pupil and no irises. Almost exactly between these two eyes lies its mouth, which is comprised of two thick gray lips. It has two small, flimsy fins at the sides of its body; each with two lobes. It has been seen to leap into the air and flap its fins as if they're wings to remain airborne.

Stunfisk's very tough skin keeps them unharmed if stepped on, even by sumo wrestlers. To exploit this, it buries itself in mud of the seashore and waits for prey to pass by. Whenever unsuspecting prey touch a Stunfisk's body, it is zapped. Stunfisk smiles when electrocuting its foes. If it cannot paralyze its foe, it contorts itself with unexpected speed and flops away.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cilan Stunfisk.png|thumb|230px|left|Stunfisk in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Cilan's Stunfisk]]====
[[Cilan's Stunfisk|Stunfisk]] first made its debut in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', when its friend, {{AP|Palpitoad}}, viewed Ash and his friends as intruders and called upon Stunfisk's help. It succeeded in driving them out of the lake, but was fished out and captured by {{an|Cilan}} soon after Palpitoad was defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Stunfisk made an appearance in the opening of ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''.

A Stunfisk appeared in the Ambrette Aquarium in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]''.

Two Stunfisk appeared in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Stunfisk is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 471.
* Stunfisk has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Stunfisk.
* Stunfisk was designed by [[Mana Ibe]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/300020609323261954</ref>
* Due to its type, Stunfisk's {{a|Limber}} Ability is redundant in Generation VI unless its type changes, such as via {{m|Camouflage}}, {{m|Reflect Type}}, or {{m|Soak}}.
* Stunfisk is a fish, but at the same time is weak to [[Water (type)|Water-type]] moves.

===Origin===
Stunfisk seems to be based on a {{wp|flounder}} or {{wp|Common dab|dab}} combined with an {{wp|electric ray}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|stargazer (fish)|stargazer}}, another fish that spends most of its time buried in the sea bottom and can make electric discharges when disturbed.

====Name origin====
Stunfisk may be a combination of ''stun'' and ''[[wiktionary:fisk|fisk]]'' (''fish'' in most Northern European languages, from Old English ''fisk'') or a combination of ''stun'', ''fish'', and ''disk'' (in reference to its flat shape).

Maggyo may be a combination of マッド ''maddo'' (mud) and 魚 ''gyo'' (fish). It may also refer to まぐろ ''maguro'' (tuna).

== water weakness ==

is it trivia to say that Maggyo, with the exception of {{p|Rotom|Microwave Rotom}}, is the only electric type weak to water? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 16:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's not only one, as you just said. Also [[User:Memo326/Trivia_Policy|not notable]]. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 17:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Maggyo: Fish or Fish-like ==

There is a lot of controversy over this throughout the Internet. I've done a bit of research and it is, indeed, found using a Super Rod in Sekka City. It isn't, in fact, a water type, which most likely makes it the first pokemon obtained by rod without being water type. {{unsigned|Dewott}}

== Name origin ==

Fisk is danish for fish + a mix of fish and disk, and stun is just English. It all makes perfect sense. {{unsigned|Jespoke}}

== Ground/Electric ==

Stunfisk is the only Pokémon to be both immune and weak to its typing ([[User:Divdax|Divdax]] 22:42, 19 June 2011 (UTC))

== Fish weak to water? ==

Stunfisk is obviously a fish, and it lives most of the time underwater - but it's weak to Water-type moves. I think that should go in the trivia section. [[User:TheDoctorPotter|TheDoctorPotter]] ([[User talk:TheDoctorPotter|talk]]) 22:40, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

== Mythology ==
It's probably based on the alchemical lion. (http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/06/alchemy-green-lion-devouring-sun.html) In alchemical mysticism the lion devouring the sun is symbolism for extracting gold by melting away impurities with acidic substances. {{unsigned|Zeta}}

== Page protection and awful writing ==

Why is this page protected? What's the point of having a wiki if people can't edit it? The community is not large enough (as Wikipedia's is) to justify only letting admins edit a page, especially when the admins have such a terrible grasp of language. For example, "It may also involve Galileo, an ancient astronomer who believe the Earth rotated around the sun." Firstly, it was slightly better before [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Solgaleo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2452876&oldid=2452708 this edit] (although the other changes in that edit were good). ''Incorporate'' is a much better word to use than ''involve''. Secondly, there is an obvious grammatical error in the sentence. And thirdly, Galileo didn't "believe" the Earth rotated around the Sun (which should start with a capital in that context); he ''knew'' the Earth rotated around the Sun. He worked it out using science. It's a fact and therefore is not a belief. Can someone please either make these changes or unprotect the page so that others can edit (which is the entire point of a wiki)?

:Same as Lunala, I'd say no. It's not notable enough in the slightest to be trivia. And technically there's no reason a Sun-based Pokémon can't be weak to fire. If this was an undersea Pokémon that was weak to water, maybe, but definitely not this. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 02:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
::It's not "based off the sun" though, it is based on the metaphorical imagery representing the purification of gold in alchemy, and it is the sun's emissary not the embodiment of the sun itself. Furthermore, the sun itself doesn't work that way. The sun isn't burning, there's no fire in or on the sun. It is a nuclear fusion reaction, not a burning object. While it may be slightly counter-intuitive for Solgaleo to be weak to fire, it is in no way as strange as people keep making out.[[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 23:34, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

'''Alomomola''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ママンボウ''' ''Mamanbou'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Alomomola is a pink fish-like Pokémon with darker pink markings on its heart-shaped body and fins. It has large dorsal and ventral fins resembling hands, each divided into four sections and tipped with a paler pink. The shape of the Pokémon resembles an ocean sunfish, as it lacks a proper tail fin. Its eyes are round with golden irises and a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and back toward the rest of the body. It lives in the open seas. If it finds an injured Pokémon floating at sea, Alomomola will heal the Pokémon's wounds and carry it back to shore. It heals Pokémon using its special membrane enveloping its entire body.

==Trivia==
* Alomomola's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
* Alomomola represents {{wp|March}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Alomomola was the first non-legendary [[Generation V]] Pokémon to appear in [[BW001|an episode]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===Origin===
Alomomola appears to be a combination of an {{wp|ocean sunfish}} and a heart representing health. Due to its hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the {{wp|Claddagh ring}}. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the {{wp|doctor fish}}. The fact that it wraps itself in a special membrane might be a reference to a {{wp|parrotfish}}, or the nourishing secretions of the {{wp|discus fish}}. Alomomola being found in locations with the {{p|Jellicent}} line, reflects the ocean sunfish's diet of {{wp|jellyfish}}.

====Name origin====
Alomomola is a combination of ''Mola mola'' (scientific name for the {{wp|ocean sunfish}}) and ''mom'' (referring to its status as the Caring Pokémon). It may also refer to ''aloha'', {{wp|Hawaiian language|Hawaiian}} for ''love/affection'', referenced by Alomomola's heart-like shape and the ocean sunfish's preference to tropical areas, such as {{wp|Hawaii}}. ''Alomomola'' is a {{wp|palindrome}}.

Mamanbou may be a combination of ''mama'' and 翻車魚 ''manbō'' (ocean sunfish).

'''Dig''' (Japanese: '''あなをほる''' ''Dig Hole'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ground}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM28]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I====
On the turn that Dig is selected, the user will dig underground, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|Transform}}. On the following turn, Dig will do damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Dig is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If Dig is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user digs underground, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Dig (or fail if it cannot).

Full {{status|paralysis}} and self-inflicted damage due to {{status|confusion}} will disrupt Dig. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the mostly-invulnerable turn of Dig, the semi-invulnerable part will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Dig.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Dig will allow the user to avoid {{m|Bide}}. Full {{status|paralysis}} will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig. {{m|Mirror Move}} will copy Dig on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Pokémon can be caught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Dig.

Dig has a power of 100 in Generation I.

====Generations II and III====
The user now cannot avoid {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Magnitude}}, or {{m|Fissure}} during the semi-invulnerable turn and will receive double damage from Earthquake and Magnitude, unless the digging Pokémon would not receive damage from the moves normally (i.e. {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or those with the Ability {{a|Levitate}}).

The user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}. Swift, Bide, and Transform no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn, and damage from {{weather|Sandstorm}} and {{weather|Hail}} will not occur.

Dig's power [[List of modified moves|changed]] from 100 to 60 in Generation II.

If an infatuated Pokémon uses Dig, then attract has a chance of stopping it in the middle.

====Generation IV====
Dig's power changed from 60 to 80.

Pokémon can no longer be caught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Dig.

The user may now be hit while underground if it is attacked by a Pokémon with {{a|No Guard}} or has No Guard itself.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Dig can be executed in one turn.

====Generation VII====
Dig is no longer a [[Technical Machine|TM]].

===Outside of battle===
Prior to [[Generation VII]], when used inside of a cave, the {{player}} is transported to the entrance he or she used to enter the cave; in [[Generation I]], the player is transported to the last Pokémon Center used. No [[Badge]] is required in any generation.
