==About Pronunciations==
In the past, Bulbapedia attempted to include pronunciations in the species articles. However, due to several conflicting sources of official pronunciations, official handbooks, {{g|Battle Revolution}}, and [[Pokédex 3D Pro]], it became far too problematic to include them in the articles. It was decided that it was best to simply not include pronunciations on the species articles, to avoid conflicting official information. I hope you understand. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 15:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

:Hey, can I upload pictures, I really like to fix the missing sprites of gen 6, but it's hard because I can't add anything!

::You can always ask anyone who can upload to put them up for you. You can find this by going over to the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/ Archives side] and clicking "Recent Uploads"; people shown with uploads there typically have the ability to upload. You can post the image elsewhere (Tinypic works, for instance) and then link to it in the way I linked Archives in this comment on the user page of whoever you ask for help. If the image meets the criteria for fair use (which is your job to point out), then they may upload it. Note that you must usually create the content yourself (as in pulling game sprites, or taking screenshots), and not use them from elsewhere unless given explicit permission; this is to protect Bulbagarden from people claiming copyright against something, among other reasons.

== Shiny Desccriptions ==

I'm not against the idea of Shiny differences in the Biology section. However, a lot of what is being added is identical to what is already there. It might be best to just add to the end of the paragraph with the physical description saying, for instance, "A Shiny Bulbasaur's skin is more of a green color instead of blue" and leaving it at that as there is no other difference in your addition.

That said, staff may have decided not to put Shiny information there; I honestly don't know. For now, I will revert the descriptions since they are mostly repetitive and ask someone about it. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

That sounds good. I just decided to copy the main biology and make minor edits to it...

'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature. It has crimson scales and a cream underside. There is a horn-like protrusion on the back of its head, and it has narrow green eyes and a long snout. It has relatively long arms with three sharp claws. Its short legs have feet with three claws and cream-colored soles. The tip of its long, powerful tail has a flame burning on it. The temperature rises to unbearable levels if Charmeleon swings its tail.

Charmeleon has a vicious nature and will constantly seek out opponents. Strong opponents excite this Pokémon, causing it to spout bluish-white flames that torch its surroundings. However, it will relax once it has won. It is rare in the wild, but it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|thumb|250px|left|Charmeleon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Charmeleon]]====
{{Ash}}'s {{p|Charmander}} evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It quickly grew unruly and disobedient and evolved into {{AP|Charizard}} soon after, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

====[[Zippo]]====
[[Ritchie]]'s Charmander, nicknamed [[Zippo]], evolved into a Charmeleon off-screen and was first seen in its evolved form in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''.

====[[Alain's Charmeleon]]====
A Charmeleon appeared in a flashback in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' as the unevolved form of [[Alain]]'s {{p|Charizard}}
====Other====
In ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'', [[Mateo]] used a Charmeleon to make glass and battle the titular [[Crystal Onix]].

[[Sam]] used a Charmeleon in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' to battle the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]].

A Charmeleon also appeared under the ownership of a Trainer named {{ho|Jimmy}} in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day]]''.
===Minor appearances===
A Charmeleon was seen on TV in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Charmeleon PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon in Pokémon Origins]]
====[[Red's Charmeleon]]====
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{p|Charmander}} evolved into a Charmeleon some time after Red beat [[Misty]] but before he faced [[Lt. Surge]] between ''[[PO01|File 1 - Red]]'' and ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]''. It later evolved into a {{p|Charizard}} after Red defeated [[Koga]] between ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' and ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Blue Charmeleon.png|thumb|200px|Charmeleon in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Blue's Charmeleon}}
Charmeleon debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', part of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, battling in the [[Pewter Gym]] as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s Pokémon. It evolved from Charmander sometime between ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and this round. When {{adv|Red}} and Blue collided in Celadon City, Red mistakenly picked up the Poké Ball of Blue's Charmeleon, but he managed to give it back to Blue later. It has since evolved into {{p|Charizard}} with Blue's harsh training, and became even more powerful, assisting in the defeat of both the [[Team Rocket]] triads [[Koga]] and Sabrina, and continued to act as the powerhouse for both Blue and {{adv|Red}}, in the two times it was (temporarily) traded to him since then.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Satoshi's Charmeleon (Zensho)}}
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Charmeleon that evolved from the Charmander he received from [[Professor Oak]]. It later evolves again into Charizard.

==Trivia==
* Charmeleon and its {{p|Charizard|evolution}} share their [[species]] name with {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with remnants of {{p|Charmander}}'s {{wp|salamander}}-like appearance. Although its nomenclature suggests commonality with the {{wp|chameleon}}, Charmeleon exhibits very few of the major physiologically distinguishing traits of the chameleon. Charmeleon does not have the specialized {{wp|Dactyly#Zygodactyly|zygodactylic}} feet, separately mobile eyes, extrudable tongue, or the ability to {{wp|Chameleon#Change of color|change color}} like some members of the chameleon species. The few characteristics it does share are the snout, a prominent head crest (which resembles a small horn in its Generation I back sprite), and extensive use of its tail. Chameleons have {{wp|prehensile}} tails used for climbing and grasping, while Charmeleon utilizes its tail as a weapon.

====Name origin====
Charmeleon is a portmanteau of the word ''char'' (to burn) and ''{{wp|chameleon}}''.

Lizardo is a corruption of the katakana spelling of ''lizard''.

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available 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]].

==Biology==
Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with an orange body, though its underside and soles are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper and lower jaws and blue eyes. Its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon’s slender tail, and has blazed there since Charmander’s birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out.

Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainers}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food.

When shiny, Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a golden body, though it's underside and soles are cream-coloured. It has two small fangs visible in its upper and lower jaws and blue eyes. Its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon’s slender tail, and has blazed there since Charmander’s birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|220px|right|Charmander in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Charmander]]====
In ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|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}}.

====[[Zippo]]====
[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. It later evolved into Charmeleon.

====[[Alain's Charmander]]====
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' as the unevolved form of [[Alain]]'s {{p|Charizard}}.

====Other====
In ''[[SS014|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 {{an|Professor Oak}}'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

Another Charmander was seen with Professor Oak in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' along with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. Another was seen in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', along with another {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

A Charmander stars in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of [[Team Go-Getters]].

A Charmander appeared in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' owned by the [[Kanto Fair Host]]. Seeing it inspired Ash to bring his Charizard back onto his team.

===Minor appearances===
Charmander was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three starter Pokémon new Trainers in Pallet Town can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, although it was his last choice of a starter coming after {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, he found out it was too late, as another Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Charmander also appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

A Charmander was seen in a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]''.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Charmander PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red's Charmander in Pokémon Origins]]
====[[Red's Charmander]]====
Charmander was one of the three Pokémon Professor Oak gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} to choose from to start their journey, with Red choosing Charmander. It later evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} between ''[[PO01|File 1 - Red]]'' and ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' and then a {{p|Charizard}} between ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' and ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''.
====Giovanni's Charmander====
[[File:Giovanni Charmander PO.png|thumb|right|250px|Giovanni's Charmander in Pokémon Origins]]
[[Giovanni]] was shown to have once had a Charmander during a flashback in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''.

Another Charmander appeared in ''File 3: Giovanni'' at Silph Co.
 

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

The capture of Ash's Charmander diverges considerably from the anime. In the manga, [[Damian]] seems to have abandoned his Charmander at the beginning of the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', but it turns out that he had just been injured and went to the hospital.

Ash is shown to own a Charmander despite this, his own Charmander first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Ash's Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]], it is simply stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic".

Ash's Charmander reappears as a {{p|Charizard}} in the chapter ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'' at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In this chapter, Charizard battles [[Zippo|Charley]], [[Ritchie]]'s own Charizard.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Peanut's Charmander}}
{{main|Mandy (MPJ)}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the sickly Trainer [[Peanut]] owns an aggressive Charmander. Peanut's Charmander first appears in the chapter ''[[PPP11|Charmander's Peanut]]''.

Mandy is a female Charmander from the Magical Pokémon Journey manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Charmander}}
[[File:Blue Charmander.png|thumb|200px|right|Charmander in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Charmander debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', where one appeared in a fantasy explanation of Red and as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} before facing [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], and then to {{p|Charizard}} before the [[Silph Co.]] battles against [[Team Rocket]]. The major powerhouse of his team with its newly learned {{m|Blast Burn}} attack, its battle skills (able to defeat {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]whirl easily even before evolving) are complimented by its fast flight, for which it was traded to Red twice, during both the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} and the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. It is worth noting that, as Charmeleon, it was accidentally traded to Red many years earlier.

Another Charmander appeared as a silhouette when {{adv|Green}} explains about {{p|Mew}} in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]''.

After X's Marisso lost to it in a battle X decided to take it and named it Salamè in ''[[PAXY09|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Green's Charmander}}
In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga series, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s rival, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, chose Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]]. Green's Charmander is mischievous and has a rivalry with [[Red's Clefairy]].

Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|Charmeleon}} stage, as it was seen evolving directly into Charizard. Although it has devolved back to the Charmander stage, it currently seems to have permanently evolved back into Charizard.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Satoshi's Charmander (Zensho)}}
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} chooses Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while {{Zensho|Shigeru}} chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

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

==Other appearances==
Charmander appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a trophy.

===Trophy Information===
''"A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Charmander is one of Pikachu's best friends. After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten lava only to be saved by the zone leader, {{p|Blaziken}}. He was then taken in as Blaziken's pupil and trained to become stronger. After he's been found, he journeys to the [[Meeting Place]] where he helps {{p|Piplup}} mend the balloon, and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chikorita}} where he meets {{p|Mew}}. Once the [[Sky Prism]] has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* In the first generation, on its sprite and [[a:File:004Charmander RG.png|first artwork]], Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later [[generation]]s. [[Blue's Charmander]] also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on {{PPM|Green}}'s {{TP|Green|Charmander|Charizard}} from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
* Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
* Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
Charmander appears to be predominantly {{wp|reptilian}} in origin, and may have been partially inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology and popular culture|salamander}} (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name which inspired its mythical counterpart). This salamander was a fire-spirit capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames, and it is sometimes creatively rendered or interpreted in the shape of a lizard.

Physically, Charmander has a slender body, a short nose, and a long tail, as well as other lizard-like characteristics. The fact that it does not undergo a metamorphosis stage (beyond its own evolutionary pattern) but instead grows into a larger version of itself as it matures, among other things, indicate that Charmander has more in common with reptiles (such as lizards) than with amphibians (such as real-world salamanders).

Charmander's Hidden Ability, {{a|Solar Power}}, may have drawn inspiration from the {{wp|spotted salamander}}. In July and August 2010, this species was identified as the first known {{wp|Photosynthesis|photosynthetic}} vertebrate animal, capable of converting energy from sunlight.

====Name origin====
Charmander is a portmanteau of the words ''char'' (to burn) and ''salamander''.

Hitokage comes from 火蜥蜴 (salamander): 火 ''hi'' (fire) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard).

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Venusaur''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Venusaurite}}.

Venusaur is the [[version mascot]] of both {{game|Red and Green|s|Green}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
Venusaur is a squat, quadruped Pokémon with bumpy, bluish green skin. It has small, circular red eyes, a short, blunt snout, and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and four pointed teeth in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed in a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of its flower.

As Mega Venusaur, the flower on its back grows larger and two new pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Additional leaves with woody stems are grown around the flower that are supported by vines that grow from the base of the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops darker patches of color on its forehead below the new bloom. Its legs and frame also become more sturdy to support the weight of the flower.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Venusaur</ref>

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to take on colors that are more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. [[EP051|In the anime]], Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature and lead evolution ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

When shiny, Venusaur is a squad, quadruped Pokemon with bumpy, yellowish-green skin. It has small, circular yellow eyes, a short, blunt snout, and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and four pointed teeth in the lower jaw. On top of it's head are small, pointed ears with yellowish-gold inside. It has three-clawed toes on each foot. The bud on it's back has bloomed in a large yellow, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by yellow-green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of it's flower

As Mega Venusaur, the flower on it's back grows larger and two new yellow flowers bloom, one on it's forehead and one on it's rear. Additional leaves with woody stems are grown around the flower that are supported by vines that grow from the base of the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops darker patches of colour on it's forehead below the new bloom. It's legs and frame also become more sturdy to support the weight on the flower.

Bulbasaur evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' after defeating a wild {{p|Primeape}}, and into Venusaur in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' while fighting against [[Thu-Fi-Zer|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}} along [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty]], defeating it with its augmented {{m|SolarBeam}} while the others used {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. With the unusual help of [[Poli]] and [[Pika]] he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard at the Pokémon League, winning the battle and the tournament. At [[Boon Island]], Saur learned {{m|Frenzy Plant}} from [[Ultima]], and was able to destroy {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s restrictive M2 Bind, again with the help of the other two starters.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a [[Poké Ball]], it uses the move {{m|Frustration}} to cause an {{m|earthquake}}, similar to {{dk|Donkey Kong}}'s Down + B attack. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.

Venusaur is also a Pokéfloat. The front half will push itself onto the screen first and play will then begin to move to the right after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''
Mega Venusuar appears as a trophy in the 3DS version.
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
====Trophy information====
''With a special type of Mega Stone called Venusaurite, Venusaur can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur in the middle of a battle. Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating! ''

==Trivia==
* Venusaur is exactly the same size as another {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, {{p|Tropius}}. Both have a height of {{tt|6'7<nowiki>''</nowiki>|2.0m}} and a weight of {{tt|220.5 pounds|100.0kg}}.
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Venusaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Mega Venusaur has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest [[stat|defense]] of all {{type|Poison}} pokemon.
* In case the {{player}} chooses {{p|Charmander}} as their starter in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, or LeafGreen}}, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the [[Pokédex]] without [[trade|trading]], as no NPC in the said games uses a Venusaur under this condition.
** However, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, after the player has unlocked the National Pokédex, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur on Knockout Mode over at [[Trainer Tower]].

===Origin===
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically the {{wp|tuatara}} or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period or the ''{{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' from the {{wp|Triassic}} period.

Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with {{wp|amphibians}} such as {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}} (which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles such as lizards and tuataras. Alternatively, Venusaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, bumpy wart-like skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.

====Name origin====
Venusaur is a combination of the words ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus flytrap}} plant) or ''venom'' and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigibana is a pun on 不思議な花 "''fushigi na hana''" (strange flower).

'''Ivysaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギソウ''' ''Fushigisou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bulbasaur}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Ivysaur is a quadruped Pokémon similar to a dinosaur. It has blue-green skin with darker patches. Two pointed teeth protrude from its upper jaw, and it has narrow red to purple eyes. On top of its head are pointed ears with black inside. It has a short, rounded snout with a wide mouth. Each of its feet have three claws on them. The bulb on its back has bloomed into a large pink bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud. The weight of this bud prevents Ivysaur from standing on its hind legs and forces its legs to grow sturdy. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, strong sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Exposure to sunlight adds to the strength of both Ivysaur and its plant. Ivysaur's natural habitat is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains}}. However, it is rare, as many are in captivity.
When Shiny, Ivysaur has yellow-green skin with darker patches. Two pointed teeth protrude from it's upper jaw, and it has narrow red to purple eyes. On top of it's head are pointed ears with black inside. It has a short, rounded snout with a wide mouth. Each of it's feet have three claws on them. The bulb on it's back has bloomed into a large golden bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Seed Pokémon that is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. It has a flower bulb on its back, the weight of which has made it develop strong legs and hips. If the blossom gets too big, it can't stand on two legs alone. At a certain level, it evolves into Venusaur. When this happens, the bulb absorbs nutrients and blossoms into a large-petaled flower."''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Ivysaur appears as a trophy in the 3DS version of the game.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Watching your starter Pokémon evolve is an unforgettable experience. For many trainers, that first happened when Bulbasaur became Ivysaur. It might be difficult to say good-bye to cute little Bulbasaur, but before they know it, they'll be saying bye to Ivysaur, too, as it turns into a fully grown Venusaur!''

==Trivia==
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Ivysaur is the only Pokémon that [[Pokémon Trainer]] uses that does not use an HM move. Squirtle uses {{m|Waterfall}}, while {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* Ivysaur's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 002.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon that does not require an [[evolutionary stone]] to reach its final form.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage form of the Kanto starter Pokémon to not be directly seen under the ownership of a main character in the anime. {{an|May}} owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} that she evolved from a Bulbasaur, but it was never seen onscreen as an Ivysaur.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage dual-type Grass-type starter Pokémon.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage form of Generation I starter Pokémon that evolves at level 32. {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Wartortle}} evolve at level 36.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Ivysaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Ivysaur and its evolutions share their [[species]] name with {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.

===Origin===
Ivysaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Ivysaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} such as {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Ivysaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Ivysaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The bulb on its back now resembles the bud of a genus of parasitic flowering plants known as ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}''.

====Name origin====
Ivysaur is a combination of the words ''{{wp|ivy}}'' (woody climbing or trailing plant genus) and the Greek ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigisou can be taken to mean "''it seems strange''" or 不思議草 ''fushigi sou'' (strange grass).

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available 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]].

==Biology==
Bulbasaur is a small, quadruped Pokémon with green to bluish-green skin and darker green patches. It has red eyes with white pupils and sclera and pointed, ear-like structure on top of its head. Its snout is short and blunt, and it has a wide mouth. A pair of small, pointed teeth visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On its back is a green plant bulb, which is grown from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb provides it with energy through photosynthesis as well as from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

As mentioned [[AG025|in the anime]], starter Pokémon are raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeder}}s to be distributed to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Having been domesticated from birth, Bulbasaur is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. [[EP102|It is known]] to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment. [[PK01|Bulbasaur has also shown]] itself to be an excellent caretaker, even having a special technique called the "Bulba-by." To perform this technique, Bulbasaur uses its vines to pick up a young Pokémon and soothingly rocks the young one in the air.

It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests throughout the Kanto region. However, due to Bulbasaur's status as starter Pokémon, it is hard to come by in the wild and generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. [[EP051|It has been observed]] that a Bulbasaur's bulb will flash blue when it is ready to evolve. If it does not want to evolve, it struggles to resist the transformation. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to become Ivysaur in a ceremony led by a Venusaur.

When Shiny, Bulbasaur is a small quadruped Pokémon with light green to darkish-green skin and darker green patches. It has red eyes with white pupils and sclera and pointed, ear-like structure on top of it's head. Its snout is short and blunt, and it has a wide mouth. A pair of small, pointed teeth visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On its back is a green plant bulb, which is grown from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb provides it with energy through photosynthesis as well as from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

==In the anime==
[[File:Shauna Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|Bulbasaur in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Bulbasaur]]====
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto [[starter Pokémon]], but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

One also appeared in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.

[[Shauna]]'s starter Pokémon is a Bulbasaur she received from [[Professor Sycamore]].

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

A Bulbasaur also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

A Bulbasaur under the ownership of an unknown Trainer, appeared in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', during the closing ceremonies of the [[Indigo League]].

A picture of a Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]''.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Bulbasaur was one of the [[starter Pokémon]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A Bulbasaur made a brief appearance under the ownership of a Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

A Bulbasaur appeared in [[Alexa]]'s magazine in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]].''

A Bulbasaur appeared as a plush toy in ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]''.

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger.

Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur."''

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and Japanese {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Professor Oak]] classifies Bulbasaur as the "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) when the player is about to choose it as their {{pkmn2|starter}}, using the term while referring to its {{t|Grass|type}}. In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, he calls it the "grass Pokémon".
** This also occurs in the [[PO01|first episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]].
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
* Bulbasaur is the only unevolved dual type starter Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur and its evolutions share their [[species]] name with {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Bulbasaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg|Grass}} or {{egg2|Monster}}s can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding; in Generation V on, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} such as {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Bulbasaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Since Bulbasaur's "ears" do not in fact have hollows, they may actually be similar to the glands present behind the eyes of many species of frogs and toads.

The bulb on its back may resemble that of a {{wp|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur is a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}'' (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family) and ''saur'' (Ancient Greek for ''lizard'').

Fushigidane literally means "''isn't it strange?''" and is also a pun on 不思議種 ''fushigidane'' (mysterious bulb).

== Datamined Images again ==

I asked the person who posted what I linked you earlier, and I got a PM back saying "Same guy who does the pastebin datamines (SciresM) according to this post", linking [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/114531-pokemon-shuffle/71465311/815723300 this] (see post #2) as a reference.

I went ahead and [[User talk:SciresM#Images|directly contacted him here]], so you can follow up on that if you want to confirm it's all right; I'll start breaking them up for now into individual files as I don't think there will be a problem, but will wait for confirmation before uploading anything. I also found a free online tool that does transparency (which is good since I can't spend $70 on PSP right now), so I'll look into that for adding transparency; it seems easy enough to use. I'm still working on Battle Trozei data, with the ten main areas pretty much documented now (as complete as possible through Area 8, with 7-5 and 7-6 not being playable yet and completely based on videos while 9 and 10 still have some confirmations I want to make on top of the video research), but breaking this into images should be a simple matter since they're all in order. I'll keep an eye out for oddities (like the double Vivillon) and Megas); I'll probably eventually put them all into place so that the template can be converted over and everything can be used the instant it's added as it's already on the server that way (we can then use Megas too).

== Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis ==

Hi. I have noticed that both the Pokéteca and the LANDpedia are down and that Pokémoncetral[http://wiki.pokemoncentral.it/Home] has removed them from there list of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis members since they are down so I am wondering if we should do the same and remove them since they do not work anyway? I ask you this question because you are a member of the editorial board. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 10:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
:We're looking into this, so please do not change anything at this time. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:19, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

== SpotPass article ==

I have messaged this too to {{u|Jo The Marten}}, but I realized she is currently on hiatus. I don't want to write more manually, so here is the message I sent to her:

Because you are the Project Games leader, I want to show you my [[User:Pokéfan95/SpotPass|SpotPass]] article. I think it meets the notability requirements, and if [[StreetPass]] has its own article, so shouldn't [[SpotPass]] have one too? So, can it be mainspaced? Thank you! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 07:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

== Archiving talk pages ==

Is there an ideal size a talk page mist reach before it has to be archived? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 07:06, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
:There is no specific policy on how large a talk page must be before it can be archived, nor a maximum size that archiving becomes mandatory. However, most common archiving levels have been ~50,000 bytes at the lowest and ~100,000 bytes at the highest. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

== Those New Templates ==

Just so I know what's going on and I'm not surprised, where are those new Shuffle and Battle Trozei templates meant to be used? Once I'm done all the stage data and have caught everything myself, I'll be going through and grabbing all the attack power and ability data for another List page, anyway, so that might be something I can help with as well (for Battle Trozei, got pretty much all but a few for Shuffle already). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:17, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
:I am developing an overhaul for the side game data table, but it is currently incomplete, so the templates won't be put into use yet. It is my intention, though, to have them put into use in the very near future. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 05:24, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
::All right. No rush on that, of course, just was wondering about them. Still will be until Sunday before I put my table together, anyway, as that's the earliest I can have everything caught with how Safari Jungle operates (purposely started on Monday with Unown A there).

== Why? ==

Why did you protected [[Pokemon in South Asia]]? The thing happened recently was not an Edit War as the edit was undone only 2 times. As far as I had remembered, an Edit War occurs only if the edit is reverted 3 times or more than that. So please unlock it PLEASE! [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 12:32, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
:I protected it simply because the constant fighting regarding that article needs to stop, and I'm making it stop. In 2015 alone, that article has been the subject of more incorrect information and edit wars than any article on Bulbapedia has in the 10 years and 5 months of Bulbapedia's existence! The article will '''not''' be unprotected, not until I fully believe that the editors who regularly edit that article can get along, use talk pages to discuss major changes, and properly research the information they're adding. '''The decision is final.''' - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 12:40, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
::You mean that if editors start to get along and start discussing on Talk page then you will unprotect that article? But still, I think that infinite protection is not right, I guess it should be protected atleast for maximum 3 months but infinite locking is not just right because it's not right that due to few users, others too have to suffer. Please give us just one chance by protecting it for maximum 3 months and by giving warnings to users that if they edit wared again then they will blocked for a long period and then I think you can protect that page infinitely unless users improve. But please give us just one final chance! [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 17:44, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
:::If I may chime in here on page protection, I believe Wikipedia uses the ability to block certain users from editing certain pages or sections. If one or two users can be identified as the root of the problem, doing that here might be the proper solution, thereby allowing other users to edit and make changes, allowing that user to later make requests that anyone can then follow up on (and not just staff). I have noticed the constant edit wars and support protecting the page in some way, but full blocking from all users prohibits constructive work on the page. Of course, if those users later become better editors down the road, their access can be restored on a trial basis.
:::If this is in fact not technically possible here, please disregard, but I just wanted to suggest that. I don't want Yasn Sen to think this is going to happen, obviously, because it's merely a suggestion. But yes, using the article or, sometimes, user talk page to suggest changes is the proper thing to do in causes of conflict or on busy articles, protection or not. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:48, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
::::What do you mean by all that, CycloneGU? [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 13:31, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::I mean nothing by it, just making a suggestion on handling incidents like this in the future. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:38, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}} But please unprotect that article for some time because there's many necessary edits to be made in the article and no admin is adding it. So please unlock the page temporarily that is for some time. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:19, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
:Kogoro already stated the decision is final. Why don't you create the content in your userspace and then ask Kogoro or another admin. directly about adding it? If the content is deemed suitable, it can then be included. That is the option for the time being. Unprotecting can just lead to another edit war and reprotection anyway. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:23, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
::@CycloneGU: We do not have the capability to lock specific users out of specific articles. Just because Wikipedia has something, doesn't mean we have it as well.
::@Yash Sen: As I have said; if I believe that everyone can get along and properly follow Bulbapedia policy in regards to the article, I may reduce its protection. However, it will take a fair lot of time to convince me of such a drastic improvement. Constantly badgering me (or other staff members) to reduce the protection certainly isn't helping your case. Seriously, drop it. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

== Edit request ==

After you locked the Pokemon in South Asia article, you mentioned that all edit request must be made on the talk page. I made [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_in_South_Asia&curid=149726&diff=2304877&oldid=2304872 some requests on the talk page] but it seems no one has noticed it. Could you take a look at them? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 13:03, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
:Also, why is it that because of one or two edit warring users, the whole page is locked and all users have to suffer? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 13:03, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
::Read the whole section above which is [[#Why?]]! [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 13:23, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
:::[[Talk:Pokémon in South Asia#Request to add information to the page|This]] full too please add! [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:21, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
::::Sorry for butting in, Kogs.
::::@Yash: I'll look into the edits, when I have some spare time. I have got a job interview in pending, and some other personal stuff has me occupied for the past couple of weeks. Hence, lack of time for Bulba.
::::@PikaTepig: It's not just about 'one' or 'two' users. It seems like there is always an edit-war going on when it comes to that article and some users simply refuse to listen. Not to mention, the constant attempts to add information taken from really unreliable sources didn't help either. Staff members have tried their best to keep it under control. Despite MANY warnings, reminders and talk page messages, there was still less to no impact on the amount of junk that gets added to that page every now and then. Therefore, the full protection is the only viable option at this point. I'm sorry that you can't edit the page, even though you have shown some improvement, but we have no other choice at this point. Kogoro has already explained the reasoning in one of her previous messages, so please refer to the link that Yash provided above. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::Thank you, Adyniz. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 06:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
::::::'''Well, please try to add those important points whenever you have time'''. And Adyniz, if you will look closely, the same one or two users have a war every time. Other people who dont war are not guilty are they? So why should they suffer? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 11:48, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::::I think I cannot consider that suffering. Those who suffer are those that are blocked, because they can't edit anything. This protection is only one page that cannot be edited, and in my research in Bulbapedia history, edit requests occur when a new Pokémon game is being released (due to the heavy traffic they may cause). All users did that, by going to the forums for edit requests. The same too must apply while a page is undergoing dispute resolution, use the talk page for edit requests. A user said that they must go to the talk page first (yep its you, PikaTepig999.), but he still reverted the edit, and edit war will still continue because of a revert. That makes him guilty, instead of assuming good faith. So if a dispute resolution is undergoing, still follow the rules and assume good faith. If someone is assuming bad faith, still assume good faith. So the problem is not only because of edit war, but failure to follow the process of dispute resolution. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 23:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
::::::::I had reverted the edit becuase it was full of wrong information. I told the user to discuss on the talk page why they are adding it again. I had before that givin my opinion on the talk page and hence there was no need for me to mesage there again, until some else messaged. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
{{indent}}Who is that '''He''' and '''Him''' in your message Pokefan95? If he's me, then I would tell you that the Edit War occured recently in South Asia page is actually not an Edit War as that info was reverted only 2 times whereas as far as I remember reverting any edit 3 times or more creates an Edit War. Really, in today's life majority things cannot be trusted, first they told that reverting 3 times or more causes Edit War and then the article is protected, but now what's happening, 2 times only still protect! Che yaar now what can be done of this! Che yaar! And now don't blame me by saying that ''why did you even reverted that edit''! All the fault is of Kogoro and ForceFire because they should have remember that 2 times reverting not an Edit War but still protected. Also, I am talking about the recent Edit War (which is actually not as I mentioned above) and not of those which happened before. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
:No its not you, Yash. And don't take it too seriously. You are in a staff talk page, not in a Freedom of Speech page. It is not the staff's fault, they are just doing their duty. If they didn't do that, this issue will continue again, until [[Pokémon in South Asia|that page]] will be doomed. It is not about edit war, it is about the addition of false information and failure to follow the dispute resolution process. I know they are also connected to edit war, but that is not the case, because they are independent. Let us compare this to linking two independent clauses. They are linked because they are related. But they can also be not linked because they are independent. The same with here. But that is not the case for now. If the page isn't protected by now, users that didn't follow the dispute resolution process may be blocked due to disrupting the peace. So that is why the page is protected now, not only because of the issue, but to prevent further users to be blocked. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 01:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
::If it sounded rude, then sorry for that! But that's actually the fault of ForceFire and not even of Kogoro, because as you can see my Talk page, he does not trusts on Nichiket sir (Hungama dub voice actor for Ash Ketchum)'s FB page and everyone know that that page is real page of Nichiket sir. Everytime faltugiri (sillyness)! That's why it's his fault. If I am still sounding rude, then sorry for that, but in our country (India) people have the freedom of speech and I will go according to my country and you go according to your country! So simple!

:::Yash Sen, I told you in the above section to stop with the constant complaining about the article being protected. That does not mean you can shift your complaints to another section or talk page.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') (Pronounciation: Bulb-Uh-Sore) is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available 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]].

==Biology==
Bulbasaur is a small, quadruped Pokémon with green to bluish-green skin and darker green patches. It has red eyes with white pupils and sclera and pointed, ear-like structure on top of its head. Its snout is short and blunt, and it has a wide mouth. A pair of small, pointed teeth visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On its back is a green plant bulb, which is grown from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb provides it with energy through photosynthesis as well as from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

As mentioned [[AG025|in the anime]], starter Pokémon are raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeder}}s to be distributed to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Having been domesticated from birth, Bulbasaur is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. [[EP102|It is known]] to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment. [[PK01|Bulbasaur has also shown]] itself to be an excellent caretaker, even having a special technique called the "Bulba-by." To perform this technique, Bulbasaur uses its vines to pick up a young Pokémon and soothingly rocks the young one in the air.

It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests throughout the Kanto region. However, due to Bulbasaur's status as starter Pokémon, it is hard to come by in the wild and generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. [[EP051|It has been observed]] that a Bulbasaur's bulb will flash blue when it is ready to evolve. If it does not want to evolve, it struggles to resist the transformation. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to become Ivysaur in a ceremony led by a Venusaur.

==In the anime==
[[File:Shauna Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|Bulbasaur in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Bulbasaur]]====
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto [[starter Pokémon]], but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

One also appeared in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.

[[Shauna]]'s starter Pokémon is a Bulbasaur she received from [[Professor Sycamore]].

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

A Bulbasaur also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

A Bulbasaur was one of the [[starter Pokémon]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A Bulbasaur made a brief appearance under the ownership of a Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

A Bulbasaur appeared in [[Alexa]]'s magazine in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]].''

Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur."''

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and Japanese {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Professor Oak]] classifies Bulbasaur as the "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) when the player is about to choose it as their {{pkmn2|starter}}, using the term while referring to its {{t|Grass|type}}. In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, he calls it the "grass Pokémon".
** This also occurs in the [[PO01|first episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]].
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
* Bulbasaur is the only unevolved dual type starter Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur and its evolutions share their [[species]] name with {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Bulbasaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg|Grass}} or {{egg2|Monster}}s can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding; in Generation V on, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} such as {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Bulbasaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Since Bulbasaur's "ears" do not in fact have hollows, they may actually be similar to the glands present behind the eyes of many species of frogs and toads.

The bulb on its back may resemble that of a {{wp|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur is a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}'' (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family) and ''saur'' (Ancient Greek for ''lizard'').

Fushigidane literally means "''isn't it strange?''" and is also a pun on 不思議種 ''fushigidane'' (mysterious bulb).

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') (Pronounciation: Ray-Quay-z-uh) is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''', but only if it knows the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it plays an important role during the [[Delta Episode]] and is required to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] there.

==Biology==
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>

Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power of a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the mikado organ (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}'''). By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|220px|left|Rayquaza in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Rayquaza anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

Multiple different Rayquaza are seen in the anime, including a shiny one.

====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====Other====
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.

A Rayquaza appeared in [[SS028]], where it was seen by {{an|Iris}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. It reappeared again in [[SS032]].

A {{shiny}} Mega Rayquaza is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning introduction of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it ended up captured by Team Rocket operatives.

A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Rayquaza Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Pillar]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
A Rayquaza appears in ''[[PMRS34|Pokémon Task Force In Action!!]]'' where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} as usual try to stop it from destroying the city.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===

Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the Dragonmark Chamber of the Wii U version exclusive stage {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}, which is based on [[Pokémon X and Y]]'s {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

===Trophy Information===
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
* Rayquaza has many differences from the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
** It is the only member without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having a [[Mega Evolution]] form.
** It is the only member not to be directly sought after by a specific crime syndicate.
** It is the only member that cannot learn an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move.
** It is the only member that cannot learn its [[signature move]] by level-up, as it can learn it by move tutor.
** It is the only member that didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
*** However, evidence says that it will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling; in {{game|Emerald}}, the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.

* Rayquaza's battle theme in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] is the only battle theme that can play while the player is capable of walking in the overworld; there is a brief period of time between the cutscene in which [[Zinnia]] summons it and the battle itself where the player must approach Rayquaza themselves.

===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''. Alternatively, Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza most likely refers to ''{{wp|Raqiya}}'', the Hebrew word for "firmament". It also may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name for the {{wp|Emperor of Japan}} or 天皇 ''tennō'' in Japanese, which can be translated as either "heavenly sovereign" or "king of the heaven/sky".
