TheStick: /* Errors */

The '''Pokémon Ultimate Handbook''' by Cris Silvestri (ISBN 0545078865) is a handbook published in October 2008 that acts as a [[National Dex]] for all Pokémon, excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}}, neither of which had been released at the time of publishing. The book contains in depth information on all 491 Pokémon in alphabetical order starting from Abomasnow and ending in Zubat. The book's final pages consist of a special page featuring Darkrai and a section on all [[legendary Pokémon]].

==Entries==
The entries for each Pokémon were structured in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with one of its evolutions, or another Pokémon.

===Name===
Each entry is topped with a large, slab-shaped bar of a random color. Unlike its predecessors, these bars have both its name and species name inside, and the color does not reference its type.

===Stats===
Below its name, the entries list the following stats:

# Pronunciation
# Possible [[Moves]] (moves the Pokémon will already know and learn along the way)
# [[elemental type|Type]]
# Height and weight
# [[Region]] it resides in (either [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], or [[Sinnoh]])

The moves do not include the recently learned moves in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]].

===Image and other information===
Each Pokémon has an anime-style picture on its page, with their "flavor text" under their name. Pages for legendary Pokémon have stars within their page and their bar will be white with a glowing stroke around it.

===Evolution chain===
At the very bottom of the entry there are pictures with arrows between them to show what the Pokémon evolves into. [[List of Pokémon that do not evolve|Pokémon that do not evolve]] do not have any Evolution Chain.

==Errors==
The errors are often within their species names and sometimes, their pictures.

* {{p|Abra}} and its evolutions are mistakenly listed as the Psychic Pokémon rather than the Psi Pokémon.
* {{p|Azelf}} is listed as the Stone Pokémon rather than the Willpower Pokémon.
* {{p|Celebi}} is missing from the Legendary Lineup.
* {{p|Cherrim}} is listed as the Cherry Blossom Pokémon when its simply the Blossom Pokémon.
* {{p|Cresselia}} is listed as the Crescent Moon Pokémon rather than the Lunar Pokémon.
* {{p|Croagunk}} is called the Poison Pokémon rather than the Toxic Mouth Pokémon. It's {{p|Toxicroak|evolution}}, however, has the correct name.
* {{p|Delibird}} is accidentally labeled as a Legendary Pokémon on it's page.
* {{p|Dialga}} is called the Time Pokémon rather than the Temporal Pokémon.
* {{p|Donphan}} is listed as the {{p|Skarmory|Armor Bird}} Pokémon when its simply the Armor Pokémon.
* It is mistakenly said that {{p|Froslass}} evolves from {{p|Glalie}}. This error, however, is corrected under {{p|Snorunt}}'s page.
* {{p|Gliscor}} is mistakenly listed as the Fangscorpion Pokémon rather than simply the Fang Scorp Pokémon.
* {{p|Golem}} is listed as the Rock Pokémon, like its pre-evolved forms, however it is known as the Megaton Pokémon.
* {{p|Ledyba}} and its {{p|Ledian|evolution}} have their species name misspelled as Five Start, rather than Five Star.
* {{p|Pachirisu}} is called the Electric Squirrel Pokémon when its simply the EleSquirrel Pokémon.
* {{p|Palkia}} is called the Space Pokémon rather than the Spatial Pokémon.
* In {{p|Piloswine}}'s page, {{p|Mamoswine}} and {{p|Swinub}}'s pictures are reversed.
* {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s pages both leave out {{p|Politoed}}.
* {{p|Porygon}}'s picture is used for {{p|Porygon2}}'s page and vice versa. The evolution line on all three Pokémon all have this error.
* {{p|Rotom}} is listed as a Legendary Pokémon, as well as {{p|Phione}}, whose status is still up for debate.
* {{p|Scizor}} is called the Scissors Pokémon rather than the Pincer Pokémon. It has been called this in the {{pkmn|anime}} at one point.
* In {{p|Skorupi}}'s page, scorpion is misspelled as scorpian.
* {{p|Squirtle}} is called the Water Pokémon rather than the Tiny Turtle Pokémon.
* {{p|Staryu}} is called the Star Fish Pokémon rather than the Star Shape Pokémon.
* In {{p|Surskit}}'s page, pond is misspelled as pound.
* In {{p|Torkoal}}'s page, coal is misspelled as coral.
* In {{p|Zangoose}}'s page, cat is misspelled as car.
* In {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s page, TinyRaccoon is is misspelled as tynyracoon.
* In {{p|Pupitar}}'s evolution chain, the picture for {{p|Larvitar}} reads {{p|Tyranitar}} and vice versa.
* In {{p|Drifblim}}'s page, the picture for Drifloon reads {{p|Drifblim}} and vice versa.

By the way, the only reason "s'" (apart from with Jesus and Moses) are used is because the "s" they replace were added to make a plural. Example: ("Banks" = plural of "Bank" and a last name.) "Don't take that! That's the Banks' money!" and "Don't take that! That's Tyra Banks's money!"

== Categories for players of all game versions ==

Why do we have categories for OSes (like "Windows Users" or "Linux users"), browsers (like "Firefox users"), even for types (like "Water users"), but no special categories for different game versions? IMHO, we should create them and add to <nowiki>{{User Diamond}}, {{User Pearl}}, {{User Emerald}} and other game tags. At least everyone would know, who might want to trade some version-exclusives.</nowiki> --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 11:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm, a good question. My guess is that nobody thought to categorize the templates... I think it shouldn't be tough to add them in. Games aren't region-exclusive, correct? Meaning some with a Japanese Blue can trade with someone with an English Blue... so in the case of the (JP) game templates, I say we categorize those just as Blue and Red versions. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 13:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::I think, it would be better to add each template to both categories, e.g. "Players of Diamond" and "Players of Diamond (Japanese version)", since Pokémon from other regions get an experience bonus. But such categorising would not help only trading, but would also be good for statistical purposes :-) etc. --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 17:54, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:::For things like Japanese Diamond, there'd be no point, since they're the same game. Besides, you're forgetting, Pokémon that have been traded always gain an EXP boost, not just from other regions. I was merely meaning Japanese Blue, but I might need to look at that one in particular again; I think there was something about the Japanese Blue only being in Japanese, and the English Blue being a different game entirely. Otherwise, for trading purposes, both categories could be put in a single box, so people looking for players with Blue don't need to check multiple categories. I'll check it now, and probably start adding tags while I'm at it. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 23:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

==Idea==
Okay, seeing as I'm not a part of any other part of bulbapedia, I can't post it anywhere else. The idea is a Pokémon fan wiki. Basically, it's a wiki for fanfic, ideas, interactive games, text adventures and anything else. I'ma guess you'd be able to make pages on your own fake pokémon. If you juys already have this, I apologize because I would not know. I got the idea from http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page . [[User:Strong Intelligent|Strong Intelligent]]

:It sounds like a fun idea. I don't think it's a realistic option for Bulbapedia, or our servers; there's already a lot on the wiki, and we've already got limits on userspace stuff, because fanfics and games have clogged the servers before.
:But a wiki dedicated to the topic might be fun. It's actually not all that hard to start your own wiki, if you can find a webhost... I've got one of my own running on a mildly reliable free webhost. So don't forget that starting one yourself is a fine option. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
::I'm all for it. I don't have the money, time, know-how or "care" factor to do it myself, but a fan wiki would attract all the fancrufters away from here to a place where they can post their stuff without fear of reprimand or deletion. Transformers and Super Mario do it, I know, so I think it's a good idea. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 02:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
:::"Welcome to Pokémon Fancruft Wiki! Have fun editing here!"
:::...while I doubt that name would go over well, the basic idea would be popular. The question would be, is a Wiki really the best place for such things, or perhaps a simpler, "normal" submission-type website? Lots of people like fanfics, but how many like posting fanfics in a wiki?
:::Not counting the people here who do just that; most of them post fanfics here because they're already members, and at least a little familiar with wiki-code.

::::::Actually, I've only ever heard the term "fancruft." I've never heard it referred to as "fanstuff," so I guess I hang around some really bitter people.
::::::I think a wiki would work really well. It's not just fanfics that people write; they make pages for their characters, essays, teams, predictions, all sorts of stuff that are in article format but not notable (or, more often, canonical) enough to be articles. If, for example, I had been forced to put my [[User:Martonimos/GSDS|GSDS predictions]] page on another site, one that didn't use wiki-coding, it would have required an extensive rewrite, not just for the code, but the format of the article as a whole. And when you look at the amount of time people spend editing their userpages, even now after the ban, I'd think that a wiki of this sort would be extremely popular. We'd just have to be sure to deflect a few people from Bulbapedia to the Fancruftpedia at first; it'd catch on after a while. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 08:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

== New feature ==

Hi everybody. I have a suggestion of a new feature that could be implemented here in the wiki. I would like to read your opinion on having a feature that allows everyone to listen to Pokémon's crys. Let's say that I go to Pikachu's article and I want to hear to its cry. Then I see a "Play" button that would play the respective audio file hosted on the server. I'm suggesting this because Psypoke has such feature. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 15:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

--[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 21:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Does Bulbagarden have a portal page? A base leading into Bulbapedia, and the forums, and whatnot... there should be a link to that somewhere in the header if so. As it is, it's slightly off-color for the rest of the site(s), and way to big for what it's doing (which is nothing). An option to turn it off would definately be nice, or at the least, make it a bit smaller. You can still fit Erica and Bulbasaur in at half the height, and most of the users here have good enough eyesight to handle smaller text as well. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 20:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

:To combine Geo's 2 comments into one idea: make the header ''into'' the portal thing. it would be visible, easy, accessable, and if they made a built-in "hide" option, so much the better (and new users would see ''it'' first, also maybe making the forum better known to them, rather than the userpages).

'''Magmar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブーバー''' ''Boober'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magmar is a Pokémon with a human-like stance that has traits of a duck and a mythical salamander. Magmar has a red body with a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on it. Magmar has yellow thighs, black legs and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. Magmar has a row of red spikes running down its back. Magmar has two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top of each one, and a yellow beak.

Due to Magmar's tail-flame and partial-reptilian appearance, it has been considered to be a distant cousin of the {{p|Charmander}}-line.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Magmar can spit powerful flames from its mouth that can incinerate nearly all of its surroundings. It can also create smoke-based attacks such {{m|Smog}} and {{m|Lava Plume}}. It is also able to use [[physical attack]]s such as {{m|Cross Chop}}, {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Fire Punch}} effectively.

===Behavior===
Whenever a Magmar is faced with being in an environment that it finds to be cold for it, it will spew out flames to warm up the surrounding area.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Magmar prefer environments that are very hot, such as volcanoes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
*Magmar is one of four Pokémon to receive both a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] and [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolution]] in generations after its release. The other three are {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, and {{p|Roselia}}.
*Magmar's spiritual opposite seems to be {{p|Electabuzz}}.
===Origin===
Magmar seems to be a combination of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|booby}} with a mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamander}} of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back make it bear a resemblance to an iguana.
====Name origin====
Magmar's name may just be a corruption of the word ''{{wp|magma}}'', intrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name might be a corruption of ''[[wp:Booby|booby]]'', a type of sea bird.

'''Rhydon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイドン''' ''Sidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhydon is a large, gray dinosaur-like Pokémon. It has a long tail with skinny, black stripes. Rhydon has a cream-colored stomach and a ridged back. Rhydon has two horns on its head, with the one on the nose being a metal drill.
====Gender differences====
A female's drill-horn is smaller than a male's.

===Special abilities===
Rhydon's drill-horn is capable of crushing uncut diamonds and it can knock down a building with one strike of its tail. Rhydon's rocky hide is strong enough to withstand direct cannonball fire.

===Behavior===
Rhydon is apparently much smarter than its pre-evolution due to being able to stand on its hind-legs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Rhydon are mainly found in cavernous areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:RiddleMeThis.gif|thumb|left|[[Blaine]] and his Rhydon.]]
A mechanical Rhydon appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' as a part of [[Pokémon Land]].

Rhydon's true debut episode was ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', under the ownership of one of the trainers at [[Kas Gym]].

Rhydon's first major role was in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', being one of [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against {{Ash}} during the first battle for Ash's [[Volcano Badge]]. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.
[[Image:Rhydon anime.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A construction worker's Rhydon from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.]]

[[Giovanni]] owns a Rhydon that he loaned to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A trainer named [[Assunta]] used one to battle [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''

A Rhydon belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Giant Pokémon|Giant]] Rhydon were seen on [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]''.

''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon]]'' featured a Rhydon that knew {{m|Surf}}.

Rhydon also made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as one of [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]]'s Pokémon.

[[Brock]]'s dad, {{an|Flint}}, has a Rhydon, but was just mentioned. Flint mostly used his Rhydon for helping him decorate the [[Pewter Gym]]'s battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.

[[Nurse Joy]] had a Rhydon to help look for {{p|Kabuto}} fossils.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Chimchar]] battled against a Rhydon and a {{p|Magmar}} in the [[Hearthome City]] Tag-Battle Tournament in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''.

A construction worker owned a Rhydon in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.
 

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Rhydon debuts in the {{special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} in its own round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', as a Koga's Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution showed in the manga.

Rhydon is later seen as one of [[Giovanni]]'s Pokémon.

In {{PSV|9}}, {{Special|Green}} captures a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses it to defeat [[Chuck]] in {{PSV|13}}, as well as [[Oca]] in {{PSV|23}}. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}.

Earlier in the same volume, {{Special|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}} hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon.

==Trivia==
*Ash's Pikachu fought Blaine's Rhydon in the anime and defeated it, despite it being a {{type2|Ground}} immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks. Rhydon's horn also serves as a lightningrod which negates electric attacks as of the rules for the Pokémon effect. Since then, that battle has been brought up frequently in comparisons between the games and anime and has spawned the popular Pokémon internet meme, "Pikachu! Aim for the horn!"
*It is one of the only {{type2|Rock}} and {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon that can learn {{M|Surf}}.
*Rhydon can also "evolve" from any non-hybrid [[Glitch Pokémon]] by the following method:

1: The player must deposit the Glitch Pokémon into Bill's PC.

2: The player must then view the Pokémon's stats.

3: Upon withdrawing the Pokémon, it will be a Rhydon, albeit with the Glitch Pokémon's name (as a nickname), stats, and attacks. It WILL be able to learn Rhydon's level-up and machine moves.

4: If, for any reason, one wishes to turn this Rhydon back into a Glitch Pokémon, one must simply leave Rhydon at the Daycare. Upon withdrawing it, it will be a Glitch Pokémon again, and will retain any moves it learned as a Rhydon (this method is useful for teaching Glitch Pokémon moves they cannot normally know, such as [[MissingNo.]] with {{m|Hyper Beam}}). Note that this does NOT work with HMs, as the daycare does not accept Pokémon that know HM techniques.

This occurs because Rhydon's [[index number]] is 001 in [[Generation I]].
* A figure very similar to Rhydon is featured on all of the statues in the entry areas of the gyms.
*Its [[Generation I]] sprites are shown having a full length of spines along its back. This was changed to only having three spikes in [[Generation II]].
*Rhydon and {{p|Rhyperior}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the triceratops.It also may have been inspired by Anguirus, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back.
====Name origin====
Rhydon's name may be a reference to {{wp|rhinoceros}}. The ''don'' may have been intended to mean "lord." However, it is also used as a suffix in various {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be an reference to those prehistoric creatures as well. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and the aforementioned ''don''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rizeros
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinoferos - ''Rhinocéros'' means rhinoceros. The remainder refers to ''féroce'' meaning ferocious.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코뿌리 ''Koppuri'' - ''Nose Horn''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 鐵甲暴龍

'''Rhyhorn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイホーン''' ''Sihorn'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyhorn's body consists of gray, rocky plates. Rhyhorn has four short legs and and triangle-shaped head with a single, short horn.
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter horn.

====Special abilities====
Rhyhorn most well known method of attack is to charge straight into things. A charging Rhyhorn can knock a trailer flying. Rhyhorn can also use various {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks. Rhyhorn can also learn elemental attack, but these type of attacks aren't very strong when used by a Rhyhorn (save for the Elemental Fangs). Rhyhorn is one of the few Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Megahorn}}.

===Behavior===
One can say that Rhyhorn has rocks for brains because it can only remember one thing at a time. A perfect example of this is whenever a Rhyhorn starts charging, it'll forget why it did so in the first place.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP088.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A pink Rhyhorn from [[EP088|''In the Pink'']].]]

Rhyhorn first debuted in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. {{Ash}} attempted to capture it but it got away.

At the start of ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] was battling a Rhyhorn belonging to a [[Hiker]].

Rhyhorn was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

The first Pokémon that {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|co.]] saw at [[Pinkan Island]] in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'' was a Rhyhorn.

A Rhyhorn that belonged to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] was seen in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

A Rhyhorn charged at [[Ash's Donphan]] after it had angered it by accident in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]''

A Rhyhorn was amongst the group of Pokémon used to attack {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Solana]] in [[DP072]].
 

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Rhyhorn debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as [[Koga]]'s Pokémon. After getting defeated by {{Special|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}, Pika, it's forced to evolve with a mysterious injection.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying.
|yellowdex=A Pokémon with a one-track mind. Once it charges, it won't stop running until it falls asleep.
|stadiumdex=Its bones are 1,000 times harder than human bones. Using its durability and strength, it can destroy tall buildings.
|golddex=It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction.
|silverdex=It doesn't care if there is anything in its way. It just charges and destroys all obstacles.
|crystaldex=It can remember only one thing at a time. Once it starts rushing, it forgets why it started.
|stadium2dex=It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction.
|rubydex=Rhyhorn runs in a straight line, smashing everything in its path. It is not bothered even if it rushes headlong into a block of steel. This Pokémon may feel some pain from the collision the next day, however.
|sapphiredex=Rhyhorn's brain is very small. It is so dense, while on a run it forgets why it started running in the first place. It apparently remembers sometimes if it demolishes something.
|emeralddex=Once it starts running, it doesn't stop. Its tiny brain makes it so stupid that it can't remember why it started running in the first place.
|firereddex=Strong, but not too bright, this Pokémon can shatter even a skyscraper with its charging {{m|tackle}}s.
|leafgreendex=Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be inspired by a rhinoceros.
====Name origin====
Rhyhorn's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'' and ''horn''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and ''horn''. Its French name is a combination of ''{{tt|rhinocéros|rhinoceros}}'' and ''{{tt|corne|horn}}''.

'''Rhydon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイドン''' ''Sidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhydon is a large, gray dinosaur-like Pokémon. It has a long tail with skinny, black stripes. Rhydon has a cream-colored stomach and a ridged back. Rhydon has two horns on its head, with the one on the nose being a metal drill.
====Gender differences====
A female's drill-horn is smaller than a male's.

===Special abilities===
Rhydon's drill-horn is capable of crushing uncut diamonds and it can knock down a building with one strike of its tail. Rhydon's rocky hide is strong enough to withstand direct cannonball fire.

===Behavior===
Rhydon is apparently much smarter than its pre-evolution due to being able to stand on its hind-legs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Rhydon are mainly found in cavernous areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:RiddleMeThis.gif|thumb|left|[[Blaine]] and his Rhydon.]]
A mechanical Rhydon appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' as a part of [[Pokémon Land]].

Rhydon's true debut episode was ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', under the ownership of one of the trainers at [[Kas Gym]].

Rhydon's first major role was in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', being one of [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against {{Ash}} during the first battle for Ash's [[Volcano Badge]]. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.
[[Image:Rhydon anime.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A construction worker's Rhydon from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.]]

[[Giovanni]] owns a Rhydon that he loaned to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A trainer named [[Assunta]] used one to battle [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''

A Rhydon belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Giant Pokémon|Giant]] Rhydon were seen on [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]''.

''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon]]'' featured a Rhydon that knew {{m|Surf}}.

Rhydon also made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as one of [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]]'s Pokémon.

[[Brock]]'s dad, {{an|Flint}}, has a Rhydon, but was just mentioned. Flint mostly used his Rhydon for helping him decorate the [[Pewter Gym]]'s battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.

[[Nurse Joy]] had a Rhydon to help look for {{p|Kabuto}} fossils.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Chimchar]] battled against a Rhydon and a {{p|Magmar}} in the [[Hearthome City]] Tag-Battle Tournament in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''.

A construction worker owned a Rhydon in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.
 

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Rhydon debuts in the {{special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} in its own round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', as a Koga's Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution showed in the manga.

Rhydon is later seen as one of [[Giovanni]]'s Pokémon.

In {{PSV|9}}, {{Special|Green}} captures a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses it to defeat [[Chuck]] in {{PSV|13}}, as well as [[Oca]] in {{PSV|23}}. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}.

Earlier in the same volume, {{Special|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}} hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon.

==Sprites==
{{Sprite|
type=ground|

name=Rhydon|
}}

==Trivia==
*Ash's Pikachu fought Blaine's Rhydon in the anime and defeated it, despite it being a {{type2|Ground}} immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks. Rhydon's horn also serves as a lightningrod which negates electric attacks as of the rules for the Pokémon effect. Since then, that battle has been brought up frequently in comparisons between the games and anime and has spawned the popular Pokémon internet meme, "Pikachu! Aim for the horn!"
*It is one of the only {{type2|Rock}} and {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon that can learn {{M|Surf}}.
*Rhydon can also "evolve" from any non-hybrid [[Glitch Pokémon]] by the following method:

1: The player must deposit the Glitch Pokémon into Bill's PC.

2: The player must then view the Pokémon's stats.

3: Upon withdrawing the Pokémon, it will be a Rhydon, albeit with the Glitch Pokémon's name (as a nickname), stats, and attacks. It WILL be able to learn Rhydon's level-up and machine moves.

4: If, for any reason, one wishes to turn this Rhydon back into a Glitch Pokémon, one must simply leave Rhydon at the Daycare. Upon withdrawing it, it will be a Glitch Pokémon again, and will retain any moves it learned as a Rhydon (this method is useful for teaching Glitch Pokémon moves they cannot normally know, such as [[MissingNo.]] with {{m|Hyper Beam}}). Note that this does NOT work with HMs, as the daycare does not accept Pokémon that know HM techniques.

This occurs because Rhydon's [[index number]] is 001 in [[Generation I]].
* A figure very similar to Rhydon is featured on all of the statues in the entry areas of the gyms.
*Its [[Generation I]] sprites are shown having a full length of spines along its back. This was changed to only having three spikes in [[Generation II]].
*Rhydon and {{p|Rhyperior}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the triceratops.It also may have been inspired by Anguirus, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back.
====Name origin====
Rhydon's name may be a reference to {{wp|rhinoceros}}. The ''don'' may have been intended to mean "lord." However, it is also used as a suffix in various {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be an reference to those prehistoric creatures as well. Its Japanese name is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and the aforementioned ''don''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rizeros
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinoferos - ''Rhinocéros'' means rhinoceros. The remainder refers to ''féroce'' meaning ferocious.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코뿌리 ''Koppuri'' - ''Nose Horn''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 鐵甲暴龍

==Trivia==
===Origin===
It appears to be based simply on a sheep, although it might borrow its electrical aspect from the way wool builds up static charges.
====Name origin====
Flaaffy's name may be a combination of ''fluffy'' and ''baa'', the sound a [[wp:sheep|sheep]] makes. Its Japanese name could come from 羊毛 ''yōmō'', wool, and a corruption of もこもこ ''mokomoko'', fluffy. Its German name, Waaty, comes from ''watt'' and {{tt|Watte|cotton wool}}. Its French name, Lainergie, comes from {{tt|laine|wool}} and {{tt|énergie|energy}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
It appears to be based simply on a sheep, although it might borrow its electrical aspect from the way wool builds up static charges.
====Name origin====
Flaaffy's name may be a combination of ''fluffy'' and ''baa'', the sound a [[wp:sheep|sheep]] makes. Its Japanese name could come from 羊毛 ''yōmō'', wool, and a corruption of もこもこ ''mokomoko'', fluffy. Its German name, Waaty, comes from ''watt'' and {{tt|Watte|cotton wool}}. Its French name, Lainergie, comes from {{tt|laine|wool}} and {{tt|énergie|energy}}.

==Trivia==
*Ampharos is one of only two second stage {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon in the TCG that was released in the same generation as its evolutionary relatives, the other being {{p|Luxray}}.
*Unlike most Electric-types, Ampharos has Speed as its lowest stat. It shares this trait with {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.
*Ampharos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as Light Pokémon.
*The ball on the end of Ampharos's tail became a deeper red through the generations. It wasn't originally red due to the Gameboy Color's limitations.
*The stripes on Ampharos's ears did not originally cover the tip of the ear. This was corrected in Pokémon Crystal.
*Despite all of its Pokédex entries mentioning that its tail glows as a beacon, it cannot learn the move {{M|Tail Glow}}, most likely because the move is known in Japan as "Firefly Light."
===Origin===
It appears to resemble a lamb.
====Name origin====
An ''ampere'', or ''{{wp|amp}}'', is a measure of electrical current. ''Pharos'' is the Greek word for "lighthouse". Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'', electric current, or 電竜 ''denryū'', electric dragon, and may include 電球 ''denkyū'', light bulb in its name, referring to its tail.

'''Gloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クサイハナ''' ''Kusaihana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The "flower" on top of Gloom's head resembles a Rafflesia flower found in the rainforests, which is said to smell like rotten meat.
====Gender differences====
A female has fewer, albeit larger, spots on its petals.

====Special abilities====
Gloom's most well-known special ability is launching a horrid-smelling pollen that has been described as smelling like a mixture of old sneakers, garbage, and rotten eggs with a hint of skunk fumes.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Gloom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:ErikaAndGloom.gif|frame|right|Erika and her {{TP|Erika|Gloom}}.]]
[[Erika]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Celadon City]], has a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] rescued from the Gym when it went up in flames because of [[Team Rocket]]. Erika first met Gloom when it saved her from a {{p|Grimer}} when she was a girl. It appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]''.

While not actually seen before evolving into a Vileplume in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', [[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]] had a Gloom that was once an Oddish.

[[Florinda]] has a Gloom which she wanted to evolve into a {{p|Vileplume}} in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''. But this Gloom didn't need to evolve after it beat Team Rocket with its powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} attack.

A Gloom was also used by [[Gulzar]] in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight]]''.

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=grass
|gen=1
|redbluedex=The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
|yellowdex=Smells incredibly foul! However, around 1 out of 1,000 people enjoy sniffing its nose-bending stink.
|stadiumdex=The horrible-smelling pistil of this flower stinks over a mile away. Unwittingly inhaled, it can cause fainting.
|golddex=What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
|silverdex=It secretes a sticky, drool-like honey. Although sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close.
|crystaldex=The smell from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.
|stadium2dex=What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
|rubydex=Gloom releases a foul fragrance from the pistil of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If this Pokémon is feeling calm and secure, it does not release its usual stinky aroma.
|sapphiredex=From its mouth Gloom drips honey that smells absolutely horrible. Apparently, it loves the horrid stench. It sniffs the noxious fumes and then drips even more of its honey.
|emeralddex=A horribly noxious honey drools from its mouth. One whiff of the honey can result in memory loss. Some fans are said to enjoy this overwhelming stink, however.
|firereddex=Its pistils exude an incredibly foul odor. The horrid stench can cause fainting at a distance of 1.25 miles.
|leafgreendex=The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
|pearldex=The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.
|diamonddex=The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.

==Trivia==
* The bud on Gloom's head was orange in [[Generation II]], but was changed to brown in [[Generation III]].
* In Generation I, the Glitch [[h POKé]] could evolve into Gloom at level 224.
* Gloom is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to have more than one Pokémon that can evolve from it as of Generation II. Before then, it was {{p|Eevee}}.
===Origin===
Gloom appears to resemble the nocturnal flower known as {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}, which has a foul odor.
====Name origin====
Gloom's name is taken from the word ''gloom'', which refers to something depressing, since it's normally seen with a depressed face. It could also come from bloom, since it's still in the blooming stage of a {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 臭い花, stinking flower.

==In other languages==

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Gloom}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bellossom is quite different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves that resemble a skirt. It all adds to an appearance of a hula dancer. It may or may not possess feet (a trait shared by {{p|Jynx}}).
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Bellossom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:FlowerPower.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with two Bellossom.]]
Bellossom first appeared in ''[[Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

Bellossom's first major appearance was in ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]''. A girl named [[Bailey]] had a pair that she wanted to be able to a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that the dance required.

A Bellossom was also used in a {{t|Grass}}-typed battle in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]''.

Bellossom was in a garden that [[Ash's Bayleef]] ran off to in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]''.

In ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'', there was a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The {{p|Vileplume}} and Bellossom were feuding in that area.

[[Tammy]] from ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]'' had some Bellossom in her cheerleading squad.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
As early as {{PSV|12}}, [[Erika]] owns a group of Bellossom who presumably help her in flower arrangement.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Bellossom Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Bellossom will use its {{m|Sleep Powder}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:1999 art cara 2.gif|thumb|right|Bellossom's early artwork]]
*Bellossom weighs less than {{p|Gloom}}, and is shorter than Gloom as well.
*Early artwork of Bellossom, made prior to the release of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold and Silver]], shows this Pokémon with a body that is the same color as its {{shiny2}} form, though that shiny form would not come until [[Generation III]].
*Bellossom shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
*Bellossom's sprites changed dramatically from Generation II to Generation III. Early sprites showed it having pink and red leaves instead of green in the normal and shiny sprites and pink and red flowers instead of red and pink.

===Origin===
Bellossom may be based on a {{wp|hula (dance)|hula}} dancer.
====Name origin====
Bellossom's name is a combination of ''bell'', referring to the fact that the petals of its skirt make ringing noises, and ''blossom''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 奇麗 ''kirei'', pretty, and 花 ''hana'', flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blubella - Bellossom's German name is a combination of ''blume'' meaning flower and ''Bella'', possibly to reflect its fondness of dancing. It also might come from {{wp|Bluebell}}.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Joliflor - The French name seems to be a corruption of ''pretty flower''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아르코 ''Areuko''

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Gloom}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bellossom is quite different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves that resemble a skirt. It all adds to an appearance of a hula dancer. It may or may not possess feet (a trait shared by {{p|Jynx}}).
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Bellossom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:FlowerPower.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with two Bellossom.]]
Bellossom first appeared in ''[[Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

Bellossom's first major appearance was in ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]''. A girl named [[Bailey]] had a pair that she wanted to be able to a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that the dance required.

A Bellossom was also used in a {{t|Grass}}-typed battle in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]''.

Bellossom was in a garden that [[Ash's Bayleef]] ran off to in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]''.

In ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'', there was a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The {{p|Vileplume}} and Bellossom were feuding in that area.

[[Tammy]] from ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]'' had some Bellossom in her cheerleading squad.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
As early as {{PSV|12}}, [[Erika]] owns a group of Bellossom who presumably help her in flower arrangement.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Bellossom Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Bellossom will use its {{m|Sleep Powder}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:1999 art cara 2.gif|thumb|right|Bellossom's early artwork]]
*Bellossom weighs less than {{p|Gloom}}, and is shorter than Gloom as well.
*Early artwork of Bellossom, made prior to the release of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold and Silver]], shows this Pokémon with a body that is the same color as its {{shiny2}} form, though that shiny form would not come until [[Generation III]].
*Bellossom shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
*Bellossom's sprites changed dramatically from Generation II to Generation III. Early sprites showed it having pink and red leaves instead of green in the normal and shiny sprites and pink and red flowers instead of red and pink.

===Origin===
Bellossom may be based on a {{wp|hula (dance)|hula}} dancer.
====Name origin====
Bellossom's name is a combination of ''bell'', referring to the fact that the petals of its skirt make ringing noises, and ''blossom''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 奇麗 ''kirei'', pretty, and 花 ''hana'', flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blubella - Bellossom's German name is a combination of ''blume'' meaning flower and ''Bella'', possibly to reflect its fondness of dancing. It also might come from {{wp|Bluebell}}.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Joliflor - The French name seems to be a corruption of ''pretty flower''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아르코 ''Areuko''

It appears to be based simply on a sheep, although it might borrow its electrical aspect from the way wool builds up static charges.
====Name origin====
Flaaffy's name may be a combination of ''fluffy'' and ''baa'', the sound a [[wp:sheep|sheep]] makes. Its Japanese name could come from 羊毛 ''yōmō'', wool, and a corruption of もこもこ ''mokomoko'', fluffy. Its German name, Waaty, comes from ''watt'' and {{tt|Watte|cotton wool}}. Its French name, Lainergie, comes from {{tt|laine|wool}} and {{tt|énergie|energy}}.

'''Weepinbell''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウツドン''' ''Utsudon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weepinbell has a yellow, bell-shaped body and a wide, gaping mouth. It has green, razor sharp, leafy appendages, which droop like the leaves of a weeping plant. Weepinbell also has a brown hook at the rear of its head which may be a remnant of the roots of its previous form.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Weepinbell has an extremely potent internal acid which has the ability to dissolve almost anything within seconds. Weepinbell also oozes a neutralizing fluid which prevents its internal acids from melting it.

===Behavior===
Weepinbell camouflage themselves as plants in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near the Weepinbell sprays toxic pollen to immobilize the target before melting it with it's internal acids. Weepinbell hangs from tree branches by its brown hook as it sleeps. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Weepinbell live in forests, as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They can also occasionally be found in caves, near sources of underground water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Weepinbell is less of a picky eater than its previous form, as it will attempt to eat anything that passes near it. If a foe is too large to fit in Weepinbell's mouth it will use its razor sharp leaves to slice its meal into smaller pieces.

==In the anime==

[[Image:Jamesweep2.PNG|thumb|right|Weepinbell in the Anime.]]
Weepinbell first appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. It was owned by {{ka|Joe}}.

A Weepinbell was also used by [[Erika]] against {{Ash}} during the [[Celadon City]] [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

[[James]] had two separate Weepinbell, both of which evolved into {{TP|James|Victreebel}}.

Weepinbell are used in the [[Celadon]] and [[Bonitaville]] {{pkmn|Contest}}s.

*Bellsprout shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
===Origin===
Bellsprout and its evolutions may be based upon carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s.
====Name origin====
Bellsprout's name seems to be be a combination of ''bell'', referring to its bell-like head, and ''sprout'', referring to it being relatively young in its evolutionary line. ''Madatsubomi'' can be taken to mean まだ蕾, still (a) flower bud.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knofensa
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chetiflor - ''Chétif'' means puny, and ''flor'' comes from floral, which has the same meaning as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 우츠동 ''Ucheudong''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 喇叭芽 - Literally "bell (or trumpet) sprout"

'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The swirl on {{p|Poliwag}}'s abdomen reverses when it evolves.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Poliwhirl can now walk and swim.
===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hook, Line and Stinker.jpg|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with its evolved form, {{p|Poliwrath}}.]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.

A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
''Nyoro'' was {{Special|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of [[Water Stone]] present in the water.

{{Special|Gold}}'s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PSV|9}} when Gold and {{Special|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pokemon Center Tokyo Logo.gif|right|frame|Poliwhirl in the original Tokyo Pokémon Center logo.]]
* The logo for the Pokémon Center in Tokyo featured Poliwhirl until it was replaced by {{p|Piplup}} in July 2007.
* Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22nd, 1999 issue of Time Magazine
*Poliwhirl is creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* Poliwhirl's swirl is in the opposite direction in its Yellow Version sprite.
*Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.
* Poliwhirl loses its mouth during [[evolution]] from {{p|Poliwag}}.
*Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to evolve by trading holding an item.
===Origin===
Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quaputzi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tetarte - ''Têtard'' means tadpole. The remainder likely comes from ''arte'', meaning art.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 수륙챙이 ''Suryukchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪

[[Image:EP110.jpg|thumb|right|[[Misty]] with [[Misty's Politoed|her Poliwag]].]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwag that eventually evolved into a Poliwhirl and then a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

One of the Pokémon used at the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' was a Poliwag. [[Max]] used it in a battle but lost to a {{p|Magby}}. However, it did help defeat Team Rocket.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwag makes a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' in a Red's flashback remembering his journey with his {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

{{Special|Gold}} has a Poliwag as of {{PSV|8}}. It was lost when [[Team Rocket]] stole Gold's [[bag|backpack]] and its [[Poké Ball]] fell into the water. Gold eventually retrieved Poliwag at the Famous [[Fishing]] Zone. It [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}} in {{PSV|9}}.

==Trivia==
*Poliwag and {{p|Ditto}} have extremely similar cries.
*Curiously, the swirl on Poliwag's stomach is in the opposite direction to Poliwhirl's and Poliwrath's, but in the same direction of the light green swirl on the stomach of Politoed.
*The swirl on Poliwag's stomach changes direction after [[Generation I]].
*In its FireRed Pokédex entry, it is stated Poliwag has black skin. The Ruby and Sapphire Pokédex entry for {{p|Poliwhirl}} states that Poliwhirl's skin is covered in oily fluid - if the same applies to Poliwag, it might be a case similar to common bilberry: the berry itself is black but covered in a wax-like coating that makes it look blue.

===Origin===
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'', outdated English for tadpole. The ''wag'' may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that ''polliwog'' literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and 子供 ''kodomo'', child.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quapsel
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptitard - ''P'tit'' is a contraction of ''petit'' meaning small, ''têtard'' means tadpole.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 발챙이 ''Balchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪 - 蚊香 is a kind of moskito repellent used in China that is shaped in a spiral (like poliwag's belly). Literally 'moskito repellent tadpole'

==In the anime==
[[Image:GaryRidingArcanine.jpg|thumb|right|{{Gary}} and [[Gary's Arcanine|his Arcanine]]]]

Arcanine and its pre-evolution, {{p|Growlithe}}, have often been seen being used as [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe|police dogs]].

[[Gary Oak]] has an {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}. The first time it was seen was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

{{Ash}} battled an Arcanine in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''. This Arcanine was under the ownership of [[Pete Pebbleman]] and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated [[Ash's Kingler]] by dodging its {{m|Bubble}} attack and using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to defeat the Arcanine with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack after the Ice Field melted due to Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}}.

In ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', two trainers named [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]] each had an Arcanine.
[[Image:099.jpg|left|thumb|Tucker's Arcanine from ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics]]'']]
In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] and {{an|May}} wanted to capture an Arcanine for a [[Pokémon Contest]]. When it was discovered that the Legendary Pokémon had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics]]'', [[Dome Ace Tucker]] used {{tp|Tucker|Arcanine}} and {{p|Swampert}} to battle against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}}.

In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] used an Arcanine to track down [[Pokémon Hunter J]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Blaine]] is seen to have an Arcanine from a flashback in {{PSV|3}}, when he recalls a confrontation with [[Team Rocket]].

{{Special|Crystal}} has an Arcanine, whom she uses for transport at times. It is able to hit targets fast and hard using its {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. As explained in a flashback in {{PSV|11}}, Arcanine was a [[wild Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Mortar]] whose left eye was injured five years ago. The cause is revealed to be a {{p|Larvitar}} prankster, whom Crystal manages to capture.

==Trivia==
*Arcanine originally had the name "Blaze".
*Arcanine has the highest base stats of any Pokémon that only has evolved once.
*Arcanine has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-[[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
*Because of its high stats, its [[species]], and the fact that it was illustrated in an ancient slab along with the [[Legendary Birds]] in the [[EP002|second episode]], it can be assumed that Arcanine was originally planned to be part of the legendary trio in first generation games; possibly even the birds' [[trio master]].
*Arcanine can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Ninetales}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} from their unevolved forms. Ninetales is exclusive to {{game|LeafGreen}} while Arcanine is to {{game|FireRed}}, Arcanine has a 75% chance of being male while Ninetales has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Ground}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their ability.
===Origin===
Arcanine is based on Japanese [[wp:Shisa|シーサー ''shisa'']], or ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that take inspiration from lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.

====Name origin====
Arcanine's name is a combination of ''arcane'', meaning mysterious, and ''{{wp|canine}}'', meaning dog. Windi may refer to wind, because this Pokémon runs like a wind as if it was flying and at great speed.

==Trivia==
* Growlithe's original name was "Flame".
*Growlithe can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Vulpix}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a [[Fire Stone]] into their evolved forms. Vulpix is exclusive to {{game|LeafGreen}} while Growlithe is to {{game|FireRed}}, Growlithe has a 75% chance of being male while Vulpix has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Ground}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their ability, and both changed their [[alternate color]] to yellow in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
Growlithe is most likely based on Japanese 獅子 ''{{wp|shishi}}'', or 狛犬 ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that share traits with lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
====Name origin====
Growlithe's name is likely a combination of ''growl'' and ''lithe'', meaning limber or flexible. Its Japanese name may simply refer to its abilities as a guard dog.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Fukano
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caninos - Based off of the word ''canine''. ''Os'' means bone.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디 ''Gadi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 卡蒂狗
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 護主犬 - literally 'owner protecting hound'

===Physiology===
Primeape has a round body covered in whitish, messy fur. Primeape's arms and legs are colored brown. Primeape has metal shackles on its wrists and ankles. The forepaws seem to resemble boxing gloves, alluding to its nature as a {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]].
====Gender differences====

===Behavior===
Primeape are easily angered. Even the slightest glance of eye contact will make it furious. A Primeape will chase anyone that makes it upset and won't give up until it catches it quarry.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Primeape can be found in vibrant forests or in mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sPrimeape.gif|left|thumb|[[Ash's Primeape]] wearing [[Ash's hat]].]]
Both [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Butch]] have or have had a Primeape. Ash left his {{AP|Primeape}} behind in [[Kanto]] with {{ka|Anthony}} to become a champion fighter.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a Primeape belonging to a [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers|Festival Crasher]].

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', a Primeape was causing problems for a small town along with its pre-evolution and a {{p|Tyrogue}}. A trainer named [[Kiyo]] was able to capture the Tyrogue, and the Mankey and Primeape joined up with him.

==In the manga==
[[Chuck]] owns a Primeape, seen in {{PSV|10}} working out with him and his {{p|Poliwrath}}. Together with Poliwrath, it used {{m|DynamicPunch}} to reveal {{p|Suicune}}'s presence in the ocean off the [[Cianwood City|Cianwood]] coast.

==Trivia==
*It is capable of learning {{m|Iron Tail}} despite not having a visible tail.
===Origin===
Considering its pig-like nose, its coloring, and tendency to fly into a rage if eye contact is made, Primeape has much in common with {{wp|baboon}}s.
====Name origin====
Primeape's name may be a combination of ''prime'' and ''{{wp|ape}}''. It is also likely that its name is a play on the word ''{{wp|primate}}''. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 怒り猿, angry monkey.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rasaff
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Colossinge - ''Colosse'' means colossus, ''singe'' means monkey.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 성원숭 ''Seongwonsung''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 火爆猴 - literally 'fire explosive monkey'

'''Mankey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンキー ''' ''Mankey'') is a {{t|Fighting}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mankey, though partly named after humans, bears almost no resemblance to them. Mankey has features similar to many primates including fur, a long flexible tail, and prehensile hands and feet ideal for gripping branches and other objects. Mankey has a nose similar to a pig.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Mankey specialize in physical fighting, but they can sometimes know elemental attacks (though they don't usually excel at them).

===Behavior===
Mankey are very aggressive and short-tempered. Anyone that gets on its bad side (which is too easy to do), will receive a severe {{m|thrash}}ing.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Mankey can be found in vibrant forests, in mountains, or in valleys with rivers running through them.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

The preferred food appears to be Chestnuts, although Mankey usually lack the dexterity to peel them.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mankey.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Mankey in [[EP001|''the first episode'']].]]
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', a wild Mankey steals [[Ash's hat]] and then evolves into a [[Ash's Primeape|Primeape]]. {{Ash}} captures it shortly afterwards.

Mankey is one of the Yas Gym's Pokémon in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

In the third Pokémon Movie, ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] named [[Lisa (movie)|Lisa]] used a Mankey to battle Ash.

==In the manga==
In Volume 1 of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], {{Ash}} chases a swarm of Mankey and manages to catch one. He later trades it in for a bogus map of [[Mt. Moon]].

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Three Mankey are the boss of [[Uproar Forest]]. After being defeated, they follow the player back to the rescue base. The Mankey help with the remodeling of the base but go on strike half-way through until they receive two peeled chestnuts.

==Trivia==
*Mankey is the first {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
*Mankey has a similar color scheme to that of {{p|Meowth}}.
===Origin===
Considering its pig-like nose, its vestigial tail, and overall personality, Mankey have much in common with {{wp|baboon}}s.
====Name origin====
Mankey's name may be a hybrid of the words ''{{wp|man}}'' and ''{{wp|monkey}}''. It also comes from the word ''manky'', which means inferior, dirty or worthless, which could be derogatory terms. Another theory is that Mankey's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|mad}}'' and ''{{wp|monkey}}'', due to this Pokémon's contrary and aggressive personality.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Menki
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ferosinge - ''Féroce'' means ferocious, and ''singe'' means monkey.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 망키 ''Mangki''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 猴怪 - literally monkey monster

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン ''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious white fur, as well as having nine tails, each of which is tipped with orange. They also have a fluffy crest atop their heads and a similar ruff around their necks. Ninetales have gleaming red eyes that are said to give them the power of mind control. They can also live up to one thousand years.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ninetales are based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese mythology, giving them abilities to wield {{t|Ghost}}-type attacks such as {{m|Confuse Ray}}. They are also very vengeful Pokémon and have been known to curse those who mistreat them. Ninetales are highly intelligent Pokémon that understand human speech. Many legends surround this Pokémon, one of which stating that Ninetales was born when 9 saints were united and reincarnated as this Pokémon.
Ninetales also always come with the ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon's extreme intelligence lends to what most consider {{type2|Psychic}} characteristics, though Ninetales has never officially been described as anything other than a {{type2|Fire}}. It also seems to hold grudges very easily and will curse humans and Pokémon alike if they touch one of its tails.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Ninetales can be found in grassy plains or in mountainous areas with lots of shade, but they are very rare.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:NinetalesAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Ninetales in the anime]]Ninetales was first seen in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''. The [[Cinnabar Island]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Blaine]], used it against {{Ash}} in their first Gym battle.

Ninetales was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

A Ninetales made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. This Ninetales belonged to [[Rudy]].

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', a friend of [[Suzy]] named [[Zane]] had a Ninetales and used it in a Pokémon [[breeding]] contest.

In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On A Friend]]'', a very old Ninetales befriended [[Brock]], who bore a resemblance to her long lost master. This Ninetales created all sorts of illusions, including one of a woman in which it spoke human through.

Ninetales also had a cameo during the opening credits of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', taking part in the festival honoring [[Sir Aaron]].

A Ninetales appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' as one of [[J|J's]] captured Pokémon.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} both tried catching the same Ninetales. In the scuffle for its Poké Ball, Green managed to grab it first. [[Magma Admin Courtney]] uses a Ninetales as her main battler.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], the curse that Ninetales can conjure is one of the main points of the plot.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*Ninetales's name was originally spelled as "Nine Tales".
*Ninetales is a very intelligent Pokémon, and can understand human speech.
*Ninetales's name is misspelled as "Ninetails" in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Pokémon TCG Game]] for the [[Game Boy Color]].
*Ninetales can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Arcanine}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} from their unevolved forms. Ninetales is exclusive to {{game|LeafGreen}} while Arcanine is to {{game|FireRed}}, Arcanine has a 75% chance of being male while Ninetales has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Ground}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their ability.
*None of Ninetales's sprites had their tail tips colored differently until [[Generation IV]], though the Sugimori art has had it all the time.

===Origin===
Ninetales, like {{p|Vulpix}}, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or ''{{wp|kitsune}}'', as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Ninetales the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐, the nine-tailed fox, which is a fox of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold. It is said to have the power of infinite vision.
====Name origin====
Its name simply refers to the nine tails it has. ''Kyūkon'' can be taken to mean 旧恨, old grudge, although it is worth noting that the first syllable spells out 九 ''kyū'', nine and ''kon'' from the Japanese onomatopoeia ''konkon'' - the sound that foxes make. Furthermore, a コンロ ''konro'' is a gas burner stove. Also, an alternate reading of the Japanese word for fox, 狐 ''kitsune'', is ''ko''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vulnona
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Feunard - ''Feu'' means fire, and ''renard'' means fox.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 나인테일 ''Nainteil''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 九尾 ''Jio Wei'' ("nine tails")

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Clefable is a bit larger than its pre-evolutions. Its wings are also larger, though they still seem incapable of flight.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Clefable are most known for using {{m|Metronome}} in order to execute a random attack. Just like its pre-evolved forms, Clefable is very versatile whether it knows Metronome or not.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, Clefable are depicted as having the ability to fly using their wings, although they have never been seen doing so anywhere else.

===Behavior===
Clefable are extremely shy, even moreso than Clefairy or Cleffa. As such, they are quite reclusive.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Clefable is just as rare in the wild as its pre-evolutions. They can be found at [[Mt. Moon]], or in other mountains that offer clear views of the moon at night.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mt. Moon! With Py, Pippi and Pixy!.jpg|thumb|right|Clefable with its pre-evolutions]]
Clefable first appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After the large group of {{p|Clefairy}} blasted [[Team Rocket]] away with {{m|Metronome}}, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of the Clefairy, causing them to evolve.

Clefable was also in a stage show about talking Pokémon for ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.

Clefable made an appearance for another Mt. Moon Festival in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} had a {{p|Clefairy}} that later evolved into Clefable.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash befriends a {{p|Clefairy}} that evolves into a Clefable so it can explore the world.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*"Ariala" was the proto-type name of Clefable.
*Clefable's cry sounds similar to its Japanese name.
*Its {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Green}} frontal sprites show its tail growing in front of or under its other wing. This was fixed for {{game|Yellow}}.
===Origin===
It seems to be based on fairies and pixes, being a magical, humanoid, playful, winged creature.
====Name origin====
Clefable's name is a combination of ''[[wp:clef|clef]]'', French for (musical) key, and "fable" — a story about legendary persons and deeds. Its Japanese name refers to [[wp:pixie|pixies]], creatures similar to fairies. Its French name appears to be a corruption of ''melody'' and possibly ''[[wp:elf|elf]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pixi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Melodelfe - ''Mélodie'' means melody and ''elfe'' means elf.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 픽시 ''Piksi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 皮可西 (Pi Ke Xi): Transliteration of its Japanese name, Pixi.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in color, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan colored. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

====Gender differences====
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

====Special abilities====
Although small, Raichu is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity on its body.

Raichu, and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Pikachu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Behavior===
Raichu is much more aggressive than {{p|Pikachu}}, especially if it has stored too much electricity in its body. It needs to discharge this electricity through its tail into the ground.

It will constantly electrocute objects, people, and Pokémon until its electricity level is back to normal.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SurgesRaichu.jpg|thumb|right|[[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]]]
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]'', along with {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Cubone}}.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named {{ka|Katrina}} decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love."

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. [[Kay]]'s Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu is one of the Pokémon that were affected by the crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]'', having evolved from the restaurant owners' missing Pikachu.

Another Raichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', owned by [[Shō]], and launched an attack so powerful, Ash's Pikachu could barely breathe.

The [[Summer School|Pokémon Summer School]] has a Raichu for its students. It appeared in [[DP088]]. Ironically, it is being trained by {{Ash}}.

==In the manga==
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

A Raichu is a character in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|gen=1
|type=electric
|redbluedex=Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
|yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
|stadiumdex=Its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts. It discharges electricity from its tail, so it is not harmed by its own power.
|golddex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|silverdex=If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
|crystaldex=If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
|stadium2dex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
|firereddex=Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an [[wp:Indian Elephant|Indian elephant]] to faint.
|leafgreendex=Its long tail serves as ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
|diamonddex=It turns agressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
|pearldex=It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} there is a Scientist at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an Electrode. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Raichu's ears are unusual in the Generation I backsprite - almost as if they are closed.
*Raichu's Generation II normal sprites are orange while it's shiny sprites are yellow. This was corrected in later games.

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.
====Name origin====
Raichu comes from the combination of 雷 ''rai'', thunder, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for squeaking.

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Trancell'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Caterpie evolves into it at Level 7, and it evolves into Butterfree at Level 10.

==Biology==
====Physiology====
While Metapod is classified as a cocoon Pokémon, it bears more resemblance to a chrysalis. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a large sudden impact could cause its vulnerable body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. It shares many physiological and behavioral characteristics with {{p|Kakuna}}, suggesting that they may have a distant relationship.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Metapod posses a very limited range of movement. However, by hardening their outer shell, they can protect themselves from most kinds of enemies.

===Behavior===
In order to conserve as much energy as possible, Metapod generally remain motionless. They can be very difficult to spot in the wild, because their green coloration helps them blend in with the tree-top canopies. If it is discovered by an enemy it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. While this is enough to deter most predators it does not offer complete protection, as the Metapod's insides still remain soft and vulnerable. Its second line of defense is to drop of the trees using {{m|String Shot}}. Because of its vulnerability, Metapod evolve rapidly into their final evolutionary stage.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Metapod can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. They dangle themselves from leafy canopies using {{m|String Shot}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metapod does not eat. It relies on the energy it stored as a {{p|Caterpie}}.

== In the anime ==
[[Image:EP004 017.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Metapod]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a [[Ash's Butterfree|Metapod]] that he caught as a Caterpie and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It eventually evolved into Butterfree in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', Zander's Caterpie became [[Giant Pokémon|giant-sized]] after eating some enhanced Rare Candies. Zander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Metapod's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Also, {{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}} was a Metapod briefly before evolving again into {{p|Butterfree}}. [[Bugsy]] also uses two Metapod on his team.

==Trivia==
*In early years of Pokémon, some fans could not make out which side of Metapod was the front, due to several different released images of Metapod facing different angles.
*Metapod, tied with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}, are the weakest evolved Pokémon in the games, by average base stats.
*Metapod shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
*Its backsprite looks almost identical to its Japanese front sprite, only zoomed in.
===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a generic butterfly chrysalis, most likely a Cabbage White or Swallowtail chrysalis.
====Name origin====
Metapod's name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'', referring to its {{wp|chrysalis}} state. Its Japanese name appears to be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Squirtle comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Torrent}}, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Squirtle evolves via level, into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Squirtle is a bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small like a {{p|Pikachu}} than to carry its trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and bubbles, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}} and its evolutions, and it has a type advantage against the first [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]].

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:May'sSquirtle Bubble.jpg|thumb|May's Squirtle using [[Bubblebeam]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak]] all have or had Squirtle. [[Ash's Squirtle]] is part of the [[Squirtle Squad]], a firefighting group, [[May's Squirtle]] was very young and timid, until evolving before [[DP078]] and the Squirtle Gary owns is Gary's [[Starter Pokémon|Starter]], which eventually evolved into Wartortle and afterwards into {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. Both Gary and May received their Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]] (Gary receiving his in [[EP001|''Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'' and May receiving hers in [[AG133|''The Right Place at the Right Mime]]'').

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three Kanto starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum]] and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} stole a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}}.

In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Almond]] owns a Squirtle, who sees him as an older brother.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru's]] starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was shown in some chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} also meets an abandoned Squirtle who helps him reach the [[Hidden Village]] after getting lost.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Squirtle Waterfall.jpg|200px|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls and {{m|Withdraw}} in which case he retreats to his shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

==Trivia==
*As a species, Squirtle, tied with {{p|Bulbasaur}} has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] starters by anime Trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] each owning one.
*Squirtle had short appearance in the {{wp|Robot Chicken}} episode Junk in the Trunk, as an animated toy.
*Squirtle is the first {{t|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be a stylized turtle.
====Name origin====
Squirtle's name is a combination of ''squirt'', which in this case can hold two meanings- a verb, to spray water, and a noun, a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others -and ''{{wp|turtle}}''. It can also be corruption of "{{wp|squirrel}}", pointing to its squirrel-like tail. ''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schiggy
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carapuce - ''Carapace'' means shell, and ''puce'' means flea, in reference to its height. ''Puce'' can also be a term of affection, maybe because of its cute look.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬부기 ''Kkobugi'' - Portmanteau of ''kid'' and ''turtle''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 傑尼龜 ''Jíe Ní Gui'' - An onomatopoeic reference to Squirtle's Japanese name, Zenigame. The last character in the name means turtle.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 車厘龟 ''Che Lí Gui''

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Squirtle comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Torrent}}, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Squirtle evolves via level, into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Squirtle is a bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small like a {{p|Pikachu}} than to carry its trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and bubbles, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}} and its evolutions, and it has a type advantage against the first [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]].

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:May'sSquirtle Bubble.jpg|thumb|May's Squirtle using [[Bubblebeam]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak]] all have or had Squirtle. [[Ash's Squirtle]] is part of the [[Squirtle Squad]], a firefighting group, {{TP|May|Squirtle}} is very young and timid, and the Squirtle Gary owns is Gary's [[Starter Pokémon|Starter]], which eventually evolved into Wartortle and afterwards into {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. Both Gary and May received their Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]] (Gary receiving his in [[EP001|''Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'' and May receiving hers in [[AG133|''The Right Place at the Right Mime]]'').

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three Kanto starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum]] and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} stole a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}}.

In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Almond]] owns a Squirtle, who sees him as an older brother.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru's]] starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was shown in some chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} also meets an abandoned Squirtle who helps him reach the [[Hidden Village]] after getting lost.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Squirtle Waterfall.jpg|200px|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls and {{m|Withdraw}} in which case he retreats to his shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

==Trivia==
*As a species, Squirtle, tied with {{p|Bulbasaur}} has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] starters by anime Trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] each owning one.
*Squirtle had short appearance in the {{wp|Robot Chicken}} episode Junk in the Trunk, as an animated toy.
*Squirtle is the first {{t|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be a stylized turtle.
====Name origin====
Squirtle's name is a combination of ''squirt'', which in this case can hold two meanings- a verb, to spray water, and a noun, a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others -and ''{{wp|turtle}}''. It can also be corruption of "{{wp|squirrel}}", pointing to its squirrel-like tail. ''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schiggy
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carapuce - ''Carapace'' means shell, and ''puce'' means flea, in reference to its height. ''Puce'' can also be a term of affection, maybe because of its cute look.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬부기 ''Kkobugi'' - Portmanteau of ''kid'' and ''turtle''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 傑尼龜 ''Jíe Ní Gui'' - An onomatopoeic reference to Squirtle's Japanese name, Zenigame. The last character in the name means turtle.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 車厘龟 ''Che Lí Gui''

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Squirtle comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Torrent}}, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Squirtle evolves via level, into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Squirtle is a bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small like a {{p|Pikachu}} than to carry its trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and bubbles, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}} and its evolutions, and it has a type advantage against the first [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]].

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:May'sSquirtle Bubble.jpg|thumb|May's Squirtle using [[Bubblebeam]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak]] all have or had Squirtle. [[Ash's Squirtle]] is part of the [[Squirtle Squad]], a firefighting group, {{TP|May|Squirtle}} is very young and timid, and the Squirtle Gary owns is Gary's [[Starter Pokémon|Starter]], which eventually evolved into Wartortle and afterwards into {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. Both Gary and May received their Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]] (Gary receiving his in [[EP001|''Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'' and May receiving hers in [[AG133|''The Right Place at the Right Mime]]'').

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three Kanto starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum]] and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} stole a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}}.

In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Almond]] owns a Squirtle, who sees him as an older brother.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru's]] starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was shown in some chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} also meets an abandoned Squirtle who helps him reach the [[Hidden Village]] after getting lost.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Squirtle Waterfall.jpg|200px|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls and {{m|Withdraw}} in which case he retreats to his shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

==Trivia==
*As a species, Squirtle, tied with {{p|Bulbasaur}} has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] starters by anime Trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] each owning one.
*Squirtle had short appearance in the {{wp|Robot Chicken}} episode Junk in the Trunk, as an animated toy.
*Squirtle is the first {{t|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be a stylized turtle.
====Name origin====
Squirtle's name is a combination of ''squirt'', which in this case can hold two meanings- a verb, to spray water, and a noun, a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others -and ''{{wp|turtle}}''. It can also be corruption of "{{wp|squirrel}}", pointing to its squirrel-like tail. ''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schiggy
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carapuce - ''Carapace'' means shell, and ''puce'' means flea, in reference to its height. ''Puce'' can also be a term of affection, maybe because of its cute look.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬부기 ''Kkobugi'' - Portmanteau of ''kid'' and ''turtle''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 傑尼龜 ''Jíe Ní Gui'' - An onomatopoeic reference to Squirtle's Japanese name, Zenigame. The last character in the name means turtle.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 車厘龟 ''Che Lí Gui''

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Squirtle comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Torrent}}, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Squirtle evolves via level, into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Squirtle is a bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small like a {{p|Pikachu}} than to carry its trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and bubbles, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}} and its evolutions, and it has a type advantage against the first [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]].

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:May'sSquirtle Bubble.jpg|thumb|May's Squirtle using [[Bubblebeam]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak]] all have or had Squirtle. [[Ash's Squirtle]] is part of the [[Squirtle Squad]], a firefighting group, {{TP|May|Squirtle}} is very young and timid, and the Squirtle Gary owns is Gary's [[Starter Pokémon|Starter]], which eventually evolved into Wartortle and afterwards into {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. Both Gary and May received their Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]] (Gary receiving his in [[EP001|''Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'' and May receiving hers in [[AG133|''The Right Place at the Right Mime]]'').

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three Kanto starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum]] and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} stole a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}}.

In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Almond]] owns a Squirtle, who sees him as an older brother.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru's]] starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was shown in some chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} also meets an abandoned Squirtle who helps him reach the [[Hidden Village]] after getting lost.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Squirtle Waterfall.jpg|200px|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls and {{m|Withdraw}} in which case he retreats to his shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

==Trivia==
*As a species, Squirtle, tied with {{p|Bulbasaur}} has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] starters by anime Trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] each owning one.
*Squirtle had short appearance in the {{wp|Robot Chicken}} episode Junk in the Trunk, as an animated toy.
*Squirtle is the first {{t|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be a stylized turtle.
====Name origin====
Squirtle's name is a combination of ''squirt'', which in this case can hold two meanings- a verb, to spray water, and a noun, a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others -and ''{{wp|turtle}}''. It can also be corruption of "{{wp|squirrel}}", pointing to its squirrel-like tail. ''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schiggy
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carapuce - ''Carapace'' means shell, and ''puce'' means flea, in reference to its height. ''Puce'' can also be a term of affection, maybe because of its cute look.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬부기 ''Kkobugi'' - Portmanteau of ''kid'' and ''turtle''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 傑尼龜 ''Jíe Ní Gui'' - An onomatopoeic reference to Squirtle's Japanese name, Zenigame. The last character in the name means turtle.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 車厘龟 ''Che Lí Gui''

'''Charmander''' [char-man-dur] ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named "[[Zippo]]" which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome than Charmander is.
* In the film {{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in a Charmander suit runs across the screen.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
** Charmander is also the first pure-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" depicted it as having a small line of spikes running down its back. The spikes were not shown in the sprites in later [[generation]]s.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamanders}}, which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

'''Charmander''' [char-man-dur] ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named "[[Zippo]]" which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome than Charmander is.
* In the film {{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in a Charmander suit runs across the screen.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
** Charmander is also the first pure-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" depicted it as having a small line of spikes running down its back. The spikes were not shown in the sprites in later [[generation]]s.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamanders}}, which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

==In other languages==

* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named "[[Zippo]]" which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome than Charmander is.
* In the film {{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in a Charmander suit runs across the screen.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
** Charmander is also the first pure-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" depicted it as having a small line of spikes running down its back. The spikes were not shown in the sprites in later [[generation]]s.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamanders}}, which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Fili'' - Derived from English words ''fire'' (파이어) and ''lizard'' (리자드).
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]] (Hong Kong and Taiwan): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' ("small fire dragon")

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named "[[Zippo]]" which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome than Charmander is.
* In the film {{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in a Charmander suit runs across the screen.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
** Charmander is also the first pure-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" depicted it as having a small line of spikes running down its back. The spikes were not shown in the sprites in later [[generation]]s.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamanders}}, which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Fili'' - Derived from English words ''fire'' (파이어) and ''lizard'' (리자드).
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]] (Hong Kong and Taiwan): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' ("small fire dragon")

'''Cherrim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チェリム''' ''Cherrim'') is a {{T|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Cherrim has two different forms, both of which are dependent on the [[Weather conditions|weather]] (a trait that is also found in {{p|Castform}}). During normal weather conditions, it appears as two crossing purple petals with a short purple stem, a green leafy sepal covering, and two deep pink feet. When there is strong sunlight, it appears to have a skirt and hair made of pink cherry-blossom petals. Additionally, two berry-like orbs, resembling cherry-shaped hair ornaments, adorn its head.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
Cherrim is said to release all of its pent up anger when it opens. Because of this it is continuously happy until it closes again.

Image:Safeguard Anime.jpg|Delcatty using '''Safeguard'''.

A sphere of light surrounds the glowing Pokémon, it can make an opponent's attack useless.

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Delcatty}}'''. Its body glows and create a white sphere, but its tail is out of it, so we can speculate that this part of its body creates the move.
* Used by [[Dr. Abby]]'s Delcatty in [[AG060|''Delcatty Got Your Tongue'']] to protect itself against the {{m|Poison Tail}} of [[Jessie's Seviper]]. '''Debut'''.

'''{{p|Slowking}}'''. Slowking leans forward, and the gem on the top of its head glows. It soon creates a large ball, made out of triangles.
* User by [[Conway]]'s Slowking in [[DP050|''Tag! We're It...!'']] to protect Piplup and itself from {{m|Sludge Bomb}} of a {{p|Koffing}}.

:Yes, I already made this comparison last night on the forums. -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 14:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==How Come==
This episode didnt air today it was supposed to and its also skipped as next week the bibarel episode airs

:Rumor has it that it's a technical error. Rumor also has it it'll be aired Monday, but given how Cartoon Network short-changed us today, we're reluctant to re-add airdates. After all, this might have been intentional and we're not going to see new episodes for several weeks...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

== Possible airing date ==

The cartoon network website says that a Battle Dimension episode will be aired on May 10, 2008 at 9:30 am Eastern/Pacific. But there was no word if it was a new episode. What should we do? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
:Wait until we actually get confirmation. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 00:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
::I checked the schedules, and it said that the name of the episode was "Keystone Pops", which is pretty much this episode. [[User:TheStick|TheStick]]

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese, [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their power in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet up to his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what attacks they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers.

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul appears to feel indifference to [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. However, Paul does show respect for other characters, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Roark]], and [[Cynthia]].

Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Paul was about leave the [[Oreburgh City|Oreburgh]] gym after becoming disappointed in Ash's battle with Roark. But then Pikachu launched an incredible {{m|Thunderbolt}} that had enough power to catch Paul's interest. Afterwards, he decided to stay and watch the rest of the battle.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:

===On hand===

|-
| align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:387.png]] → [[Image:388.png]] → [[Image:Spr_4d_389.png]] [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig → Grotle → Torterra]]

| align=center | [[Image:126.png]] {{TP|Paul|Magmar}}
|-
|}

As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and [[DP064]] respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

=== At Home ===

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=200px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:239.png]] → [[Image:125.png]] [[Paul's Electabuzz|Elekid → Electabuzz]]
|-
|}

In [[DP066]], Paul left his Electabuzz behind under the care of [[Reiji]].

===Released===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:396.png]] {{p|Starly}} ×3
| align=center | [[Image:234.png]] {{p|Stantler}}
| align=center | [[Image:390.png]] {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}}
|}
It is implied that Paul has released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against {{TP|Ash|Starly}} in the first battle between Ash and Paul. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.
* Chimchar was caught in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on ''his'' team and it accepts it happily.

===Given away===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=100px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:184.png]] {{p|Azumarill}}
|}
Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

===Status Unknown===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=250px cellspacing="0"
| align=center | [[Image:291.png]] {{p|Ninjask}}
| align=center | [[Image:022.png]] {{p|Fearow}}
|}
Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul was also seen attempting to capture a Fearow in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', though he kept getting distracted by Ash's group. Whether he kept them or even succeeded in catching Fearow in the first place is unknown.

==Trivia==
*At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]], whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother [[Reiji]]'s name contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and another rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring and a Murkrow, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
*The only unevolved Pokémon Paul has is his {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}}.
*All of his Pokémon that he has on hand except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} and {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} are part of an [[evolution family]] native to the [[Johto]] region. {{p|Electabuzz}}, of course, evolved from a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}.
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by [[User:Pie|Pie]] as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]].
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a merely coincidence is unknown.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul’s starter is also based on a turtle.
