'''Grovyle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュプトル''' ''Juptile'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Grovyle is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar in appearance to a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaur. It is primarily green with a red underside. There is a belt-like green stripe across its belly. Grovyle's hands have two clawed fingers and powerful legs with birdlike feet. Grovyle has three long leaves on its wrists, a large leaf on top of its head, and two tails that have a leafy appearance.

This leafy appearance allows it to be camouflaged in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} and dense jungles where it lives. Grovyle is said to be master at climbing trees in jungles. Grovyle's well-developed muscles make it an expert climber and allow it to leap quickly from branch to branch. The muscles are said to provide explosive bursts of power, which contribute to its incredible leaping capabilities. No Pokémon has been able to catch a fleeing Grovyle, no matter how fast they try to be. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], veteran researchers have difficulty finding the slumbering Grovyle due to its excellent camouflage. Grovyle has four different sleep styles: ''Knee-Up Sleep'', ''Dream-Stance Sleep'', ''Leaf-Tucked Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Leaf Blade}} was its [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Grovyle evolves from {{p|Treecko}} and evolves into {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
The Treecko meant to be handed to {{adv|Emerald}} was recovered by {{adv|Wally}} and became a Grovyle in ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]'' to rescue his temporary owner when a wild {{p|Dusclops}} threatened to suck them into its infinite cavity. After a few more weeks of training at the [[Sky Pillar]] under [[Norman]], he was able to awaken the ancient legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}}, but the huge gust of wind sent him flying miles away into a distant island where he evolved again to a Sceptile and was this time caught by [[Guile Hideout]], who smuggled him into the {{OBP|Battle Factory|Generation III}} to try to drive the nosy press away. He ended up being stolen by his legitimate owner, Emerald, and became a fixed member of his team.

Emerald had borrowed a Grovyle during his Factory challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''; it should not be confused with his Sceptile. This Grovyle, like the other Factory Pokémon, is at [[level]] 50.

==Trivia==
===Cultural impact===
Grovyle was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Anyphaena grovyle}}'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Grovyle and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Like the other members of its evolutionary line, Grovyle's design shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages. It also seems to be inspired by a {{wp|dinosaur}}, bearing significant resemblance to the ''{{wp|Dromaeosaurus}}''. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers, much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body - the leaves on its tail are especially similar to the tails of {{wp|Epidexipteryx}}, which only had short tails that supported much larger feathers. Its design could be based on a ''{{wp|Protarchaeopteryx}}''. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Grovyle may be a combination of ''grove'' (a group of trees), ''reptile'', and possibly ''vine'' or ''ivy''.

Juptile may be a combination of 樹 ''ju'' (tree) and ''reptile'' or ''{{wp|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}''. The official original name (''Juputoru'' with {{wp|Hepburn romanization}}) and pronunciation matches ''raptor'' (confer [[wiktionary:ヴェロキラプトル|ヴェロキラプトル]] ''Verokiraputoru'', Velociraptor), while the trademarked romaji name (Juptile) matches ''reptile''.

'''Grovyle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュプトル''' ''Juptile'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Grovyle is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar in appearance to a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaur. It is primarily green with a red underside. There is a belt-like green stripe across its belly. Grovyle's hands have two clawed fingers and powerful legs with birdlike feet. Grovyle has three long leaves on its wrists, a large leaf on top of its head, and two tails that have a leafy appearance.

This leafy appearance allows it to be camouflaged in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} and dense jungles where it lives. Grovyle is said to be master at climbing trees in jungles. Grovyle's well-developed muscles make it an expert climber and allow it to leap quickly from branch to branch. The muscles are said to provide explosive bursts of power, which contribute to its incredible leaping capabilities. No Pokémon has been able to catch a fleeing Grovyle, no matter how fast they try to be. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], veteran researchers have difficulty finding the slumbering Grovyle due to its excellent camouflage. Grovyle has four different sleep styles: ''Knee-Up Sleep'', ''Dream-Stance Sleep'', ''Leaf-Tucked Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Leaf Blade}} was its [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Grovyle evolves from {{p|Treecko}} and evolves into {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
The Treecko meant to be handed to {{adv|Emerald}} was recovered by {{adv|Wally}} and became a Grovyle in ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]'' to rescue his temporary owner when a wild {{p|Dusclops}} threatened to suck them into its infinite cavity. After a few more weeks of training at the [[Sky Pillar]] under [[Norman]], he was able to awaken the ancient legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}}, but the huge gust of wind sent him flying miles away into a distant island where he evolved again to a Sceptile and was this time caught by [[Guile Hideout]], who smuggled him into the {{OBP|Battle Factory|Generation III}} to try to drive the nosy press away. He ended up being stolen by his legitimate owner, Emerald, and became a fixed member of his team.

Emerald had borrowed a Grovyle during his Factory challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''; it should not be confused with his Sceptile. This Grovyle, like the other Factory Pokémon, is at [[level]] 50.

==Trivia==
===Cultural impact===
Grovyle was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Anyphaena grovyle}}'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Grovyle and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Like the other members of its evolutionary line, Grovyle's design shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages. It also seems to be inspired by a {{wp|dinosaur}}, bearing significant resemblance to the ''{{wp|Dromaeosaurus}}''. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers, much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body - the leaves on its tail are especially similar to the tails of {{wp|Epidexipteryx}}, which only had short tails that supported much larger feathers. Its design could be based on a ''{{wp|Protarchaeopteryx}}''. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Grovyle may be a combination of ''grove'' (a group of trees), ''reptile'', and possibly ''vine'' or ''ivy''.

Juptile may be a combination of 樹 ''ju'' (tree) and ''reptile'' or ''{{wp|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}''. The official original name (''Juputoru'' with {{wp|Hepburn romanization}}) and pronunciation matches ''raptor'' (confer [[wiktionary:ヴェロキラプトル|ヴェロキラプトル]] ''Verokiraputoru'', Velociraptor), while the trademarked romaji name matches ''reptile''.

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of the three [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.

==Biology==
Piplup is a pale cyan, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, pale cyan marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Piplup is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. He is found keeping a trapped {{p|Wynaut}} company in the [[Beach Zone]] after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu-shaped hot air balloon back to the [[Meeting Place]], where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Piplup is the only one of Pikachu's old friends to return, accompanying him to a new {{ga|PokéPark}}. They venture into [[Wish Park]] together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup becomes trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and {{p|Oshawott}}'s lives. He is later found by {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by {{p|Gothitelle}} in exchange for setting {{p|Victini}} free, and is then manipulated by {{p|Darkrai}}. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

[[File:Alternate World Dawn Piplup Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Piplup {{pkmn|Egg}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].

=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick.

====Trophy information====
''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region.

''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''

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

==Trivia==

** While {{an|Barry}} has an Empoleon, it is unknown whether Piplup was his first partner.

===Concept and development===
Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=Peer>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>

According to Seth McMahill, former Assistant Manager of Product Marketing at [[Nintendo of America]], Piplup was originally going to be named "Piploop", but it was changed because the name sounded like "poop".<ref name=siliconera/> In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".<ref>https://serebii.net/archive/February-2007.shtml</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Piplup was featured as a plastic figure in the [[2008 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a toy whose beak opens and closes in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a {{wp|tailcoat}} which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.

====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''[[wiktionary:plop|plop]]'' or ''[[wiktionary:plup|plup]]'', the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>Sahdev, Ishaan (September 28, 2012). "[https://www.siliconera.com/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]". ''Siliconera''.</ref> It may also incorporate ''pip'' (a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch) or [[wiktionary:peep#Etymology 1|peep]].

Pochama is derived from [[wiktionary:ぽちゃぽちゃ|ぽちゃぽちゃ]] ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' (young master).

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of the three [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.

==Biology==
Piplup is a pale cyan, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, pale cyan marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===NPC appearances===
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Piplup is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. He is found keeping a trapped {{p|Wynaut}} company in the [[Beach Zone]] after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu-shaped hot air balloon back to the [[Meeting Place]], where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Piplup is the only one of Pikachu's old friends to return, accompanying him to a new {{ga|PokéPark}}. They venture into [[Wish Park]] together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup becomes trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and {{p|Oshawott}}'s lives. He is later found by {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by {{p|Gothitelle}} in exchange for setting {{p|Victini}} free, and is then manipulated by {{p|Darkrai}}. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

[[File:Alternate World Dawn Piplup Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Piplup {{pkmn|Egg}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].

=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.

In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}.

====Trophy information====
''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region.

''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''

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

==Trivia==

* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, being the first partner Pokémon of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}}.
** While {{an|Barry}} has an Empoleon, it is unknown whether Piplup was his first partner.

===Concept and development===
Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=Peer>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>

According to Seth McMahill, former Assistant Manager of Product Marketing at [[Nintendo of America]], Piplup was originally going to be named "Piploop", but it was changed because the name sounded like "poop".<ref name=siliconera/> In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".<ref>https://serebii.net/archive/February-2007.shtml</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Piplup was featured as a plastic figure in the [[2008 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a toy whose beak opens and closes in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a {{wp|tailcoat}} which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.

====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''[[wiktionary:plop|plop]]'' or ''[[wiktionary:plup|plup]]'', the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>Sahdev, Ishaan (September 28, 2012). "[https://www.siliconera.com/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]". ''Siliconera''.</ref> It may also incorporate ''pip'', a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch.

Pochama is derived from [[wiktionary:ぽちゃぽちゃ|ぽちゃぽちゃ]] ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' (young master).

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of the three [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.

==Biology==
Piplup is a pale cyan, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, pale cyan marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===NPC appearances===
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Piplup is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. He is found keeping a trapped {{p|Wynaut}} company in the [[Beach Zone]] after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu-shaped hot air balloon back to the [[Meeting Place]], where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Piplup is the only one of Pikachu's old friends to return, accompanying him to a new {{ga|PokéPark}}. They venture into [[Wish Park]] together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup becomes trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and {{p|Oshawott}}'s lives. He is later found by {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by {{p|Gothitelle}} in exchange for setting {{p|Victini}} free, and is then manipulated by {{p|Darkrai}}. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

[[File:Alternate World Dawn Piplup Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Piplup {{pkmn|Egg}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].

=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.

In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}. Eventually, it was returned to her by {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they found it in [[Vermilion City]]. Piplup entered itself and Croagunk into the [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], but the two partnered up to save Lauren after {{TRT}} interrupted the race.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Piplup appeared in flashbacks and photos in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and physically in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Piplup watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', multiple Piplup were living in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Seeing these Piplup reminded Ash of Dawn's, since her Piplup was "something else".

In ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]'', a Piplup was living in a forest.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

====Trophy information====
''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region. It's a Water type, so it's strong versus {{t|Rock}} and {{type|Ground}}s. It's very cute but filled with pride--it hates to accept food from people. When it levels up, it evolves into Prinplup.''

====Trophy information====
''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''

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

==Trivia==

* Piplup shares its category with its evolved form and {{p|Eiscue}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, being the first partner Pokémon of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}}.
** While {{an|Barry}} has an Empoleon, it is unknown whether Piplup was his first partner.

===Concept and development===
Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=Peer>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>

According to Seth McMahill, former Assistant Manager of Product Marketing at [[Nintendo of America]], Piplup was originally going to be named "Piploop", but it was changed because the name sounded like "poop".<ref name=siliconera/> In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".<ref>https://serebii.net/archive/February-2007.shtml</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Piplup was featured as a plastic figure in the [[2008 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a toy whose beak opens and closes in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a {{wp|tailcoat}} which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.

====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''[[wiktionary:plop|plop]]'' or ''[[wiktionary:plup|plup]]'', the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>Sahdev, Ishaan (September 28, 2012). "[https://www.siliconera.com/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]". ''Siliconera''.</ref> It may also incorporate ''{{wp|pip|pip}}'', a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch.

Pochama is derived from [[wiktionary:ぽちゃぽちゃ|ぽちゃぽちゃ]] ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' (young master).

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, Piplup is one of the three [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.

==Biology==
Piplup is a pale cyan, penguin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It has a blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The blue feathers on its head extend down its back and around its neck, which causes it to appear to be wearing a cape. There are two white ovals on its chest and a small, pale cyan marking resembles a crown above its beak. It has flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each.

Piplup has a strong sense of self-pride. Because of its pride, it has a hard time accepting food from [[human]]s and bonding with its caretakers. It will even puff out its chest after it falls down, which it often does due to its poor walking abilities. However, it is a skilled swimmer that can dive for over ten minutes in order to hunt. It has also been shown to fly short distances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. It lives along the seashore in colder climates. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===NPC appearances===
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Piplup is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. He is found keeping a trapped {{p|Wynaut}} company in the [[Beach Zone]] after falling through the mysterious tunnel. Once the Wynaut is safe, he takes a Pikachu-shaped hot air balloon back to the [[Meeting Place]], where he mends it. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Piplup is the only one of Pikachu's old friends to return, accompanying him to a new {{ga|PokéPark}}. They venture into [[Wish Park]] together and try to save some of the Pokémon trapped there. Piplup becomes trapped in the Wish Park after saving Pikachu and {{p|Oshawott}}'s lives. He is later found by {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} and announces that he wishes to stay in Wish Park so he can help the Pokémon who are coaxed into coming. Piplup is later taken by {{p|Gothitelle}} in exchange for setting {{p|Victini}} free, and is then manipulated by {{p|Darkrai}}. Piplup later awakens Pikachu from Darkrai's nightmare and encourages Pikachu to seek out his missing friends after their memories were taken by Darkrai right before the final battle.

[[File:Alternate World Dawn Piplup Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Piplup {{pkmn|Egg}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dawn's Piplup]]=====
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with a {{p|Chimchar}} over their {{pkmn|food}} in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. After ruining the lab, the two escaped, and {{an|Dawn}} was given the task of finding them. She found Piplup, and the two narrowly escaped an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first partner Pokémon. Since then, he has been her main Pokémon and has been mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of his Poké Ball]].

=====[[Team Poképals]]=====
A Piplup, who used to be a human, was one of the two main members of Team Poképals in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}} used a female Piplup [[nickname]]d Pippy to catch a {{p|Yanma}}. She is different from other Piplup because she wears a tiara.

In [[DPS01]], Professor Rowan presented a Piplup to [[Shinko]] as one of the first partner Pokémon for her to pick. It fought with Rowan's {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole its food; this led to a window breaking and Piplup and Chimchar escaping. They were captured by an {{p|Ariados}}'s web before being rescued by Shinko and {{an|Dawn}}.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Verity]]. It is her main Pokémon.

In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', [[Lauren]]'s Piplup ran away from Sinnoh after becoming jealous of Lauren's new {{p|Croagunk}}. Eventually, it was returned to her by {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] after they found it in [[Vermilion City]]. Piplup entered itself and Croagunk into the [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], but the two partnered up to save Lauren after {{TRT}} interrupted the race.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Piplup appeared in flashbacks and photos in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and physically in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Piplup watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', multiple Piplup were living in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Seeing these Piplup reminded Ash of Dawn's, since her Piplup was "something else".

In ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]'', a Piplup was living in a forest.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', a Trainer's Piplup competed in the [[Friendship Festival]].

A Piplup appeared in a fantasy alongside the other [[first partner Pokémon]] in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

Multiple Piplup appeared in ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'' at the [[Cerise Laboratory]], having hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

A Piplup appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', under the ownership of a student of [[Indigo Academy]].

A Trainer's Piplup appeared during a flashback in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]''.

A Student's Piplup appeared in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''.

''A Penguin Pokémon. It's one of the starter Pokémon received from Professor Rowan when the player departs from the Sinnoh region.

''You wouldn't think it from its adorable exterior, but this Pokémon is very proud and often won't listen to its Trainer. When it walks on land, it waddles and even falls over sometimes, all in a suitably cute way, but once it's in the water you'll see its true potential. It's a skilled swimmer and can dive for over ten minutes at a time to hunt.''

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

==Trivia==

* Piplup shares its category with its evolved form and {{p|Eiscue}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, being the first partner Pokémon of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and {{OBP|Tyler|DP080}}.
** While {{an|Barry}} has an Empoleon, it is unknown whether Piplup was his first partner.

===Concept and development===
Piplup was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=Peer>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>

According to Seth McMahill, former Assistant Manager of Product Marketing at [[Nintendo of America]], Piplup was originally going to be named "Piploop", but it was changed because the name sounded like "poop".<ref name=siliconera/> In February 2007, a piece of merchandise at Toy Fair used "Pochama" to refer to this Pokémon, leading some fans to believe that it would be Piplup's English name. However, another item at the same event referred to it as "Piplup".<ref>https://serebii.net/archive/February-2007.shtml</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Piplup was featured as a plastic figure in the [[2008 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a toy whose beak opens and closes in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Piplup was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Piplup is likely based on a young {{wp|penguin}}, possibly an {{wp|emperor penguin}} chick. The light blue crown-shaped marking above its beak may also allude to emperor penguins, or to emperors and kings in general. Piplup's body looks like it is clothed in a {{wp|tailcoat}} which is often compared to black and white plumage of penguins.

====Name origin====
Piplup is derived from ''plop'' or ''plup'', the sound of a pebble hitting water.<ref name=siliconera>Sahdev, Ishaan (September 28, 2012). "[https://www.siliconera.com/funny-stories-of-pokemon-english-name-localizations/ Funny Stories Of Pokémon English Name Localizations]". ''Siliconera''.</ref> It may also incorporate ''pip'', a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch.

Pochama is derived from ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'' (the sound of a pebble splashing in water).<ref name=siliconera/> It may also incorporate 坊っちゃま ''botchama'' (young master).

'''Manectric''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライボルト''' ''Livolt'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electrike}} starting at [[level]] 26.

Manectric can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Manectric''' using the [[Manectite]].

==Biology==
Manectric is a canine, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is mainly blue with a spiky, yellow mane on its head and yellow tufts of fur on its haunches and around its front feet. Its mane sticks straight up and has three points. It has a jagged upper jaw, red eyes, and holes on either side of its head that seem to be its ears. Each of its paws has three claws. Its blue, spike-like tail is bent at a sharp angle.

Manectric gathers electricity in its mane and then discharges it. This process creates thunderclouds, which it uses in battle. Since lightning falls in its vicinity, it is said to have been born from lightning and make its nest where lightning has struck. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}, and rarely appears in front of people.

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

The yellow mane on Mega Manectric is considerably larger than its previous state. The center spike on its head has shifted, and now forms a large, tilted growth that extends over its snout and has a point on either end. The remaining two head spikes are thinner, longer, and have small, pointed bulbs in place of the earholes. The mane now extends down the length of Mega Manectric's body, forming four additional spikes. One of these spikes extends down past the Pokémon's chest and has points on both ends. The tufts of fur on its haunches are now blue and form more numerous, thinner points. While it retains the yellow tufts around its front feet, they now have two short spikes extending backward. Finally, Mega Manectric lacks the sharply angled tail of its previous state and now has red claws.

When it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], its speed is explosive and is equal to a lightning bolt. However, its body becomes filled with such an incredible amount of electricity that Manectric is unable to fully control it all, thereby irritating it.

====[[Wattson's Manectric]]====
Manectric made its animated series debut in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', under the ownership of [[Wattson]], who obtained it as an {{p|Electrike}}. It evolved in ''[[AG059|A Manectric Charge]]'', where it battled [[Ash's Torkoal]] and won.

====[[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]====
[[Officer Jenny]]s in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] mostly use Manectric, as {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}} and {{p|Herdier}} are not native to the region.

====Other====
In ''[[DP042|The Electrike Company!]]'', [[Jaco]]'s Manectric evolved from an Electrike and sent {{TRT}} flying. Afterwards, {{OBP|Cal|DP042}} allowed it to bypass an upcoming test and graduate to go on to work for a power generation company.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', [[Celosia]] sent out a Manectric to pursue [[Squishy]], alongside [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}}. It was stopped in its tracks by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Greninja}}. After it and Liepard were both overwhelmed by Greninja's Ash-Greninja form, Manectric used {{m|Flash}} to allow [[Team Flare]] to escape.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Manectric that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] was under the control of [[Cherie]]'s Mega Wave. Manectric was used to battle Pikachu, [[Clemont's Luxray]], and {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}}. It was later freed from Cherie's control when [[Alva]]'s Mega Wave Crystal was destroyed, and it escaped.

===Minor appearances===
Manectric debuted in the opening sequence of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It was used alongside a {{p|Solrock}} in a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Brendan}}.

A Manectric that can Mega Evolve into Mega Manectric appeared in the opening of ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''.

In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', and ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', a Trainer's Manectric attended the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]].

A Trainer's Manectric appeared in ''[[XY066|Confronting the Dakness!]]''.

A Trainer's Manectric appeared in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

A Manectric appeared in ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]''.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Manectric has traits of a {{wp|canine}} and the 雷獣 ''{{wp|Raijū}}'', an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals, including a blue {{wp|wolf}} wrapped in lightning bolts; Mega Manectric in particular may draw inspiration from a {{wp|Maned wolf}}. Additionally, Manectric's snout resembles a {{wp|crocodile clip}}.

====Name origin====
Manectric may be a combination of ''{{wp|mane|mane}}'' and ''[[wiktionary:electric#Adjective|electric]]''.

Livolt may be a combination of [[wiktionary:雷#Japanese|雷]] ''rai'' ({{wp|thunder|thunder}}), ''{{wp|lion|lion}}'', ''[[wiktionary:live#Adjective|live]]'' (electrically charged), and ''{{wp|volt|volt}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:bolt#Etymology 1|bolt]]'' (lightning bolt or thunderbolt).

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Along with {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Treecko is one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits covered with tiny spikes. These spikes allow it to scale vertical walls with ease. Its stomach and throat are red. It also has a line across its stomach resembling a pouch. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes that it uses to sense humidity. This ability allows it to predict the next day's weather.

Treecko is rarely found in the wild and is more common in captivity. However, when in the wild, Treecko lives inside {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|overgrown forests}}. It makes its home in tall trees and will attack anyone that comes near its nest. Because of its territorial nature, it is known to be the protector of the forest's trees. Treecko is known for its calm and collected personality. It will never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Treecko has been observed occasionally moving its feet while asleep.

===Concept and development===
[[Image:Treecko concept art.png|thumb|200px|Concept art of Treecko]]
[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs |Concept art]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} portrays a different designs for the Treecko. Many of these early sketches more closely resemble real geckos.

===Cultural impact===
Treecko was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Rathalos treecko}}'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Treecko and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Treecko was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}}. Its design specifically shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages and can also climb up flat surfaces. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Treecko is a combination of ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archived on Internet Archive])</ref>

Kimori may be a combination of [[wiktionary:木#Japanese|木]] ''ki'' (tree), [[wiktionary:森#Japanese|森]] ''mori'' (forest) or [[wiktionary:守り#Japanese|守り]] ''mori'' (keeper), and [[wiktionary:守宮#Japanese|守宮]] ''yamori'' (gecko).

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Along with {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Treecko is one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits covered with tiny spikes. These spikes allow it to scale vertical walls with ease. Its stomach and throat are red. It also has a line across its stomach resembling a pouch. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes that it uses to sense humidity. This ability allows it to predict the next day's weather.

Treecko is rarely found in the wild and is more common in captivity. However, when in the wild, Treecko lives inside {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|overgrown forests}}. It makes its home in tall trees and will attack anyone that comes near its nest. Because of its territorial nature, it is known to be the protector of the forest's trees. Treecko is known for its calm and collected personality. It will never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Treecko has been observed occasionally moving its feet while asleep. It is believed that Treecko is dreaming about climbing walls. Treecko has four different sleep styles: ''Seated Sleep'', ''Face-Rubbing Sleep'', ''Dream-Scaling Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

===Evolution===
Treecko evolves into {{p|Grovyle}}, which evolves into {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Concept and development===
[[Image:Treecko concept art.png|thumb|200px|Concept art of Treecko]]
[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs |Concept art]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} portrays a different designs for the Treecko. Many of these early sketches more closely resemble real geckos.

===Cultural impact===
Treecko was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Rathalos treecko}}'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Treecko and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Treecko was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}}. Its design specifically shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages and can also climb up flat surfaces. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Treecko is a combination of ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archived on Internet Archive])</ref>

Kimori may be a combination of [[wiktionary:木#Japanese|木]] ''ki'' (tree) and [[wiktionary:森#Japanese|森]] ''mori'' (forest) or [[wiktionary:守り#Japanese|守り]] ''mori'' (keeper), [[wiktionary:守宮#Japanese|守宮]] ''yamori'' (gecko).

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Along with {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Treecko is one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits covered with tiny spikes. These spikes allow it to scale vertical walls with ease. Its stomach and throat are red. It also has a line across its stomach resembling a pouch. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes that it uses to sense humidity. This ability allows it to predict the next day's weather.

Treecko is rarely found in the wild and is more common in captivity. However, when in the wild, Treecko lives inside {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|overgrown forests}}. It makes its home in tall trees and will attack anyone that comes near its nest. Because of its territorial nature, it is known to be the protector of the forest's trees. Treecko is known for its calm and collected personality. It will never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Treecko has been observed occasionally moving its feet while asleep. It is believed that Treecko is dreaming about climbing walls. Treecko has four different sleep styles: ''Seated Sleep'', ''Face-Rubbing Sleep'', ''Dream-Scaling Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

===Evolution===
Treecko evolves into {{p|Grovyle}}, which evolves into {{p|Sceptile}}.

[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs |Concept art]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} portrays a different designs for the Treecko. Many of these early sketches more closely resemble real geckos.

===Cultural impact===
Treecko was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Rathalos treecko}}'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Treecko and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Treecko was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}}. Its design specifically shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages and can also climb up flat surfaces. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Treecko is a combination of ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archived on Internet Archive])</ref>

Kimori may be a combination of [[wiktionary:木#Japanese|木]] ''ki'' (tree) and [[wiktionary:森#Japanese|森]] ''mori'' (forest), [[wiktionary:守宮#Japanese|守宮]] ''yamori'' (gecko), or [[wiktionary:守り#Japanese|守り]] ''mori'' (keeper).

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode'''. It evolves from Hisuian Voltorb when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Electrode is a round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an upside-down {{i|Poké Ball}} with a smile mouth, black slit eyes, prominent black eyebrows that are usually depicted with an angry expression and eyes. Its top half is white, while its lower half is red. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Electrode as hollow.

Electrode tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} where fresh electricity is being generated, which it consumes. As a result, it often causes blackouts. The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.

Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. However, unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. This unpredictable and explosive nature has earned it the nickname of "Bomb Ball". Because of its appearance, many Trainers try to pick Electrode up, mistaking it for an item. As seen in the anime, if Electrode explode to defend themselves, this also results in them using up their energy and becoming extremely worn out.

===Forms===
Electrode has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode also resembles an upside-down Poké Ball, specifically one of its time period, with a wooden upper half and a glossy, dark red lower half with a hole in the bottom. Its eyes are large black holes inside a debossed pattern, resembling an angry glare. Its mouth is in a constant frown, unlike its Kantonian counterpart's smile, giving the impression that it is drawn on. Interestingly, its surface texture is similar to that of an [[Apricorn]].

When enraged, Hisuian Electrode can unleash an electric current equivalent to about twenty lightning bolts. It can absorb and store chlorophyll energy along with electricity. Electrode can release this energy through the hole on its lower half. It can also climb up trees.

A special Hisuian Electrode is worshipped by the Hisui people due to it being descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}} despite the fact that Poké Balls had not yet been invented. In particular, it is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in the [[Coronet Highlands]], watched over by the [[Warden]] [[Melli]].

Hisuian Electrode is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Chloroblast}}.

===Evolution===
Electrode evolves from {{p|Voltorb}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode evolves from Hisuian Voltorb.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Electrode SSBB.png|250px|thumb|An Electrode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS and Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in ''Brawl'' in much the same way as in ''Melee''; however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds. Electrode appears in the fourth and fifth installments, retaining its behavior from ''Brawl''.

====Melee trophy information====
''Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Electrode 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Electrode trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Electrode appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The Spirit Battle occurs on {{OBP|Saffron City|stage}}. {{sbw|Bob-omb}}s are the only items that spawn, which the opponent {{sbw|Pac-Man}} is distracted by.

===Origin===
Electrode seems to be based on the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. As such, its design may be inspired by ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsules, which often consist of a white half and a vibrant colored half. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is possibly based on a [[Great Ball]].

Electrode may also be based on a {{wp|ball lightning}}, as hinted by its spherical shape, type, explosive behavior, and tendency to drift on wind. Based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to {{wp|land mine}}s or {{wp|bomb}}s.

The expressions on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their original forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Electrode and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s, which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. This can be seen in the [[TCG]] and its statue at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], which all depict it emitting blasts from a hole on its bottom to launch itself. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Electrode may be a portmanteau of ''electric'' and ''explode'' or ''{{wp|Node#Computing and electronics|node}}'' (a computer or program), as well as a pun on ''{{wp|electrode}}'', a device through which electrical currents pass (although such a device is usually in the shape of a rod).

Marumine may be a combination of [[wiktionary:丸#Japanese|丸]] ''maru'' (circle) and ''{{wp|Mine#Military|mine}}'' (as in {{wp|land mine}}).

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode'''. It evolves from Hisuian Voltorb when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Electrode is a round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an upside-down {{i|Poké Ball}} with a smile mouth, black slit eyes, prominent black eyebrows that are usually depicted with an angry expression and eyes. Its top half is white, while its lower half is red. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Electrode as hollow.

Electrode tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} where fresh electricity is being generated, which it consumes. As a result, it often causes blackouts. The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.

Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. However, unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. This unpredictable and explosive nature has earned it the nickname of "Bomb Ball". Because of its appearance, many Trainers try to pick Electrode up, mistaking it for an item. As seen in the anime, if Electrode explode to defend themselves, this also results in them using up their energy and becoming extremely worn out.

===Forms===
Electrode has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode also resembles an upside-down Poké Ball, specifically one of its time period, with a wooden upper half and a glossy, dark red lower half with a hole in the bottom. Its eyes are large black holes inside a debossed pattern, resembling an angry glare. Its mouth is in a constant frown, unlike its Kantonian counterpart's smile, giving the impression that it is drawn on. Interestingly, its surface texture is similar to that of an [[Apricorn]].

When enraged, Hisuian Electrode can unleash an electric current equivalent to about twenty lightning bolts. It can absorb and store chlorophyll energy along with electricity. Electrode can release this energy through the hole on its lower half. It can also climb up trees.

A special Hisuian Electrode is worshipped by the Hisui people due to it being descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}} despite the fact that Poké Balls had not yet been invented. In particular, it is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in the [[Coronet Highlands]], watched over by the [[Warden]] [[Melli]].

Hisuian Electrode is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Chloroblast}}.

===Evolution===
Electrode evolves from {{p|Voltorb}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode evolves from Hisuian Voltorb.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS and Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in ''Brawl'' in much the same way as in ''Melee''; however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds. Electrode appears in the fourth and fifth installments, retaining its behavior from ''Brawl''.

====Melee trophy information====
''Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Electrode 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Electrode trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Electrode appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The Spirit Battle occurs on {{OBP|Saffron City|stage}}. {{sbw|Bob-omb}}s are the only items that spawn, which the opponent {{sbw|Pac-Man}} is distracted by.

* Hisuian Electrode, {{p|Eelektross}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Camerupt}} are the only Pokémon not compatible with {{g|Sword and Shield}} that are capable of [[Dynamax]]ing, being able to do so in {{g|Masters EX}}.
** Hisuian Electrode is the first Pokémon introduced after {{g|Sword and Shield}} capable of [[Dynamax]]ing in any Pokémon media.
* Electrode is the only non-playable Pokémon to use the same move in [[Pokkén Tournament]] and the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.

* The author of [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Hidenori Kusaka]], uses Electrode to represent himself in the volume's comment boxes.

===Origin===
Electrode seems to be based on the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. As such, its design may be inspired by ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsules, which often consist of a white half and a vibrant colored half. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is possibly based on a [[Great Ball]].

Electrode may also be based on a {{wp|ball lightning}}, as hinted by its spherical shape, type, explosive behavior, and tendency to drift on wind. Based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to {{wp|land mine}}s or {{wp|bomb}}s.

The expressions on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their original forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Electrode and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s, which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. This can be seen in the [[TCG]] and its statue at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], which all depict it emitting blasts from a hole on its bottom to launch itself. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Electrode may be a portmanteau of ''electric'' and ''explode'' or ''{{wp|Node#Computing and electronics|node}}'' (a computer or program), as well as a pun on ''{{wp|electrode}}'', a device through which electrical currents pass (although such a device is usually in the shape of a rod).

Marumine may be a combination of [[wiktionary:丸#Japanese|丸]] ''maru'' (circle) and ''{{wp|Mine#Military|mine}}'' (as in {{wp|land mine}}).

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Voltorb has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb'''. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Voltorb is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a buttonless {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse. This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally.

Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact. Due to being constantly mistaken as a [[Poké Ball]], Voltorb has reportedly zapped many humans as a result.

===Forms===
Voltorb has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb.

Hisuian Voltorb, like its modern counterpart, resemble the [[Apricorn]]-made {{OBP|Poké Ball|Hisui}}s of the time period — both appear to be made of a grainy, woodlike substance, with a glossy surface and a hole on top. On the inside, Hisuian Voltorb's body contains numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine its interior due to it being pitch-black.<ref name=LAsite/> Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow. Despite its resemblance to a Poké Ball, it can be inferred that Hisuian Voltorb's existence predates the device's invention, as evidenced by the fact that the ancient hero of Hisui legend had an {{p|Electrode}} companion which would become the ancestor of the region's [[Noble Pokémon|noble]] Electrode.

Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly, which it discharges all at once from its hole. Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb to prevent them from discharging before removing them from their settlements.<ref name=LAsite>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/ Hisuian Voltorb | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It has been seen in [[Paldea]] during the rare [[Poké Portal News|Mass outbreak]] events.

===Evolution===
Voltorb evolves into {{p|Electrode}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb evolves into Hisuian Electrode.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all own a Voltorb:
**[[Lt. Surge]] owns a Voltorb in [[Pokémon Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue|their international equivelents]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It is replaced with a an {{p|Electrode}} in some rematches.
**[[Wattson]] owns a Voltorb in {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. In Emerald and [[Generation VI]] Wattson may be rematched, where this Voltorb may have evolved into an Electrode.
*In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} the {{player}} is pitted against [[noble Pokémon|Lord]] {{p|Electrode}} of the [[Coronet Highlands]]. In this fight, Voltorb in their {{rf|Hisuian}} Form may drop from the air, acting as obstacles to dodge.

====In the spin-off games====
* {{g|Pinball}}: Three Voltorb appear on the Red Table and give the player points when hit. When Catch'em Mode is activated, they also reveal the silhouette of the Pokémon attempting to be captured upon being hit.
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: A Voltorb may appear as part of the "Is It Treasure?" {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|Random encounter events|event}}, where it will explode (and thereby force the player's Magikarp to retire).

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Voltorb|23}}

==Trivia==
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Unlike their [[Kanto]]nian counterpart, an [[Evolution stone]] is required for Hisuian Voltorb to [[Evolution|evolve]] rather than by leveling up. It shares this trait with {{p|Sandshrew}}.
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the {{player}} to lose {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s when flipped.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Voltorb will explode if the player walks too close to it and the Voltorb notices them.
* The Shadow Voltorb in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} is [[List of permanently missable Pokémon|missable]] if players lose to Miror B in the first battle when he has the Voltorb in the Cave [[Poké Spot]], as there is not a flag to make it respawn unlike other Shadow Pokémon. This will lock the player out of catching Voltorb, and as snagging Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} requires snagging every other [[Shadow Pokémon]], the player will be locked out of Dragonite too.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.

===Concept and development===
Voltorb was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=1990CapsuleMonstersSpriteSheet>https://web.archive.org/web/20230426182306/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1651287332916428811</ref>

===Origin===
Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. As such, its design may be inspired by ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsules, which often consists of a white half and a vibrant colored half. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is possibly based on a [[Great Ball]].

Voltorb may also be based on a {{wp|ball lightning}}, as hinted by its spherical shape, type, and explosive behavior. Given its tendency to explode and shape, it also shares similarities with common depictions of {{wp|bomb}}s. It may also be based on ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}'', where items acquire a spirit and come to life on their 100th birthday, which might be referenced by Voltorb's [[National Pokédex]] number, which is 100.

The expression on both Voltorb and Electrode may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Voltorb and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s, which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. The fact that it has numerous seeds inside its body may also be inspired by a {{wp|seed ball}} (also known as a seed bomb), which are made by rolling various seeds with clay, forming a ball. The seed ball is then planted or thrown into the ground where vegetation is sparse, so that the seeds will germinate and grow. Hisuian Voltorb's Shiny coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb may be a combination of ''{{wp|volt|volt}}'' and ''[[wiktionary:orb#Noun|orb]]''.

Biriridama may be a combination of [[wiktionary:ビリビリ|ビリビリ]] ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and [[wiktionary:玉#Noun|玉]] ''tama'' ({{wp|sphere|sphere}}).

'''Snivy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツタージャ''' ''Tsutarja'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Servine}} starting at level 17, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, Snivy is one of the three [[Unova first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, and White 2}}.

==Biology==
Snivy is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail and has yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protrude from its shoulders and bend backward. Its slender arms have three fingers, while its tiny feet have no digits. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves. However, the tail will begin to droop when Snivy loses energy. Snivy can use its vines with incredible adaptive and dexterity skills, to make up for having short arms. This Pokémon has a calm, collected demeanor and is very intelligent. Snivy prefers to be alone and avoid groups whenever it can. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Evolution===
Snivy evolves into {{p|Servine}}, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}}.

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

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Ash Snivy.png|thumb|250px|Snivy in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Trip's Snivy]]=====
Snivy debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', where [[Professor Juniper]] gave it to [[Trip]] as his [[first partner Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} they had, due to Pikachu being unable to use {{type|Electric}} attacks at the time. Eventually, when {{Ash}} and Trip met again in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', his Snivy had evolved into Servine.

=====[[Ash's Snivy]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She knows {{m|Attract}}, much to the dismay of Ash, who kept trying to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} her, but would fail because most of his team was male. She was defeated by {{AP|Pidove}} due to both of them having the same gender, and Ash successfully caught her.

=====Other=====
In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Professor Juniper offered a Snivy for [[Nanette]] as a [[first partner Pokémon]]. However, she chose {{p|Tepig}} instead.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', multiple {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Snivy were at a [[Poké Mart]] near [[Castelia City]].

===Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===
[[File:Rosa Snivy Masters Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Snivy in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]]]
A Snivy appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]], under the ownership of {{mas|Rosa}}. Alongside [[Scottie]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Brock's Onix]], it battled {{mas|Erika}}'s {{p|Vileplume}}, as well as a {{tc|Beauty}}'s {{p|Lotad}} and a {{tc|Lass}}'s {{p|Whimsicott}}. After freeing Onix from Whimsicott's {{m|Leech Seed}} with {{m|Leaf Storm}}, Snivy was injured by Lotad's {{m|Energy Ball}}, but {{mas|Brock}} caught it and healed it with a [[Potion]].

===GOTCHA!===
A Snivy briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===
A Snivy briefly appeared in ''[[PE04|The Plan]]'', under the ownership of a Trainer who was listening to [[Ghetsis]]'s speech in [[Accumula Town]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Cheren Snivy Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Snivy in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
{{main|Monta's Serperior}}
Snivy is [[Monta]]'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], a "walkthrough comic" based on the Black and White games. It later evolved into its final form.

===Pocket Monsters BW===
A Snivy appeared in [[PMBW01]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Cheren's Snivy}}
{{main|N's Snivy}}
Snivy is featured as one of the first partner Pokémon in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to [[Fennel]], {{p|Tepig}} spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing him to fight with [[Tep]]ig. Eventually, Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three first partner Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to {{adv|Cheren}} by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought he resembled him. He first appeared in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''.

Professor [[Cedric Juniper]]'s Snivy was supposed to be given to new Trainers but was liberated by {{adv|N}}. Snivy went with N, and evolved into a Servine while with N, and was then given to {{adv|White}}. She first appeared in ''[[PS479|The Case of the Missing Pokémon]]''.

A {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}'s Snivy first appeared in ''[[PS547|The Final Battle]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Snivy SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Snivy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Snivy appears as a Pokémon released from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]. When released, it uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, a move that it [[Game move errors|cannot legally learn]].

[[File:Snivy 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Snivy trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Snivy also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Along with Ekans and Onyx{{sic}}, this Pokémon is considered to be a snake Pokémon, even though it has two legs. When it evolves into Serperior, however, it sheds those legs. In Smash Bros., Snivy unleashes Razor Leaf on fighters, sending sharp leaves flying and damaging anything in range.''

'''PAL''': ''Like Ekans and Onix, Snivy is known as a snake Pokémon. Unlike those Pokémon, it has two legs. When it eventually evolves into Serperior, though, it loses them. It attacks using Razor Leaf, which sends super sharp leaves flying into fighters in front of it, potentially hitting them over and over again. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Snivy returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game.

===As the Player===
====[[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]====
[[File:PP2 Snivy.png|thumb|160px|Snivy in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]
Snivy appears as one of the [[player character]]s in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. She is the daughter of Queen {{p|Serperior}}, which makes her Princess of the [[Arbor Area]]. Much to her mother's dismay, she is quite rambunctious and prefers playing and getting dirty than being elegant and proper. Upon hearing of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}} and {{p|Oshawott}}'s task to save the PokéPark, she helps them to open the portal in the Arbor Zone, on the condition that they take her with them. Her special skill is the ability to jump higher than the other player characters.

===={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}====
Snivy is also playable in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}. The player may either choose to be transformed into Snivy, or have the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon|partner}} be one. The same also applies to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Snivy and the other {{2v2|Black|White}} [[first partner Pokémon]] were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Snivy is the only {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still marked as #001; this is because {{p|Victini}}, the Pokémon before it, has a Pokédex number of #000. It is also the only Grass-type first partner Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Snivy has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon.
* In {{g|Black and White}}, Snivy, along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, has the lowest [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28. This was done specifically for the first two battles of the games, so the player's first partner Pokémon wouldn't level up after defeating [[Bianca]] and thus have a level advantage over [[Cheren]].
** From {{B2W2}} onward, their base experience yield was raised to 62 to bring them in line with the other [[first partner Pokémon]] in the series.
* Snivy is the only [[Unova first partner Pokémon]] to not be a first partner Pokémon outside of Unova.
* Along with {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}}, Snivy is currently one of the three pre-gen VIII [[first partner Pokémon]] that cannot be transfered to any [[Pokémon Legends]] games.
* Snivy is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{g|GO}} to have its [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny form]] not be released during a [[Community Day]].

===Concept and development===
Snivy was designed by [[Reiko Tanoue]].<ref name=Pokebeach>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] ([http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations Translation by Pokebeach]; note that in this translation, her name is incorrectly transliterated as "Tagami".)</ref>

[[File:Snivy BW concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon Black and White|Concept art]] featuring Snivy from {{game|Black and White|s}}.]]

Designer Reiko Tanoue mentioned that its design was inspired by a picture book describing snakes that resemble vines.<ref name=Pokebeach/> Unlike real snakes, Snivy was given arms and legs to make it appear less threatening and more appealing to players. As it evolves, it gradually becomes more snake-like.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy, {{p|Servine}}, and {{p|Serperior}} are based on Western culture, specifically mentioning the manga series ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' as an inspiration.<ref name=Pokebeach/><ref name=ND201/> Snivy, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary lines represents the diverse cultural influences of the [[Unova]] region, with their evolutionary lines inspired by Western, Chinese, and Japanese cultures, respectively.<ref name=ND201/>

===Cultural impact===
Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on the video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[Media:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.

===Merchandise===
* Snivy was featured as a toy that rolls forward when pushed in the [[2011 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Snivy was featured as a toy with a rotating tail and flailing arms in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Snivy was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Snivy is based on a {{wp|snake}}. The specific species referenced may include the {{wp|vine snake}}, {{wp|tree snake}}, or {{wp|Opheodrys|green snake}}.

Additionally, some of Snivy's features may be inspired by {{wp|legless lizard}}s, {{wp|grass lizard}}s, {{wp|Asian grass lizard}}s, or {{wp|skinks}}. The shape of its head, body, and shoulder protrusions may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers. The former, also called "Strelitzia," is named after Queen {{wp|Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz}}, reinforcing Snivy's regal theme.

====Name origin====
Snivy may be a combination of ''{{wp|snake|snake}}'' and ''{{wp|ivy|ivy}}''. It may also involve ''[[wiktionary:snide#Adjective|snide]]'', ''[[wiktionary:sly#English|sly]]'', ''[[wiktionary:snark#Noun|snark]]'' (a snide remark), ''[[wiktionary:snicker|snicker]]'' (a sly or snide laugh), and/or ''[[wiktionary:savvy#Adjective|savvy]]''.

Tsutarja is a combination of [[wiktionary:蔦#Japanese|蔦]] ''tsuta'' ({{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese creeper}}) and [[wiktionary:蛇#Japanese|蛇]] ''ja'' (snake).<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153448/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html Page 5 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. When playing on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or [[Nintendo Switch 2]], this can only be done in handheld mode and while no other controllers are connected, using the orientation of the attached Joy-Con controllers.

Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' using the [[Malamarite]]. Mega Malamar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is an amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its bluish-purple head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe of light nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. It induces hypnosis by flashing the lights on its body and performing certain hypnotic motions. It uses its hypnotic powers to lure in other Pokémon it deems prey, before ensnaring them in its tentacles and finishing them off with its digestive fluids. Malamar can also hypnotize people and control them to do its bidding; those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event once the hypnosis wears off. Malamar's hypnotic powers are often used by people for nefarious deeds, and these powers are said to influence several history-changing events. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be very intelligent — reaching almost human levels — and it is capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] depict Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Malamar uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming "legs"-first.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Malamar brain blast.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Malamar can stimulate its brain to boost its psychic powers<ref name=ZAsite2/>]]
Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Malamar.

Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-malamar Mega Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer arm tentacles, which are roughly twice as long as its body. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating.

Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers:<ref name=ZAsite/> the tip on its right arm glows green, while the tip on its left arm glows pink. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain.<ref name=ZAsite2>(September 10, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-malamar Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Vivid and Brightly Glowing: Get to Know Mega Malamar!] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Highly intelligent, this Pokémon prefers to battle with efficiency, and uses its powerful intellect to calmly analyze the situation during battles. Mega Malamar's haughty personality makes it see others, including Pokémon Trainers, as pawns, and it may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their commands.<ref name=ZAsite/>{{left clear}}

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped.

After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Malamar debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[HZ133|The Final Battle Is Near]]'', under the ownership of the [[Explorers]]. It reappeared in ''[[HZ135|The Core Awakens]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar was the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which ran from September 4 to 10, 2025. The campaign culminated with the reveal of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Malamar.
* Mega Malamar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 582.

===Concept and development===
Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

[[Shigeru Ohmori]] came up with Inkay's method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar. He suggested the method as the development team were thinking of ways to utilize the internal {{wp|gyroscope}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name=GameXplain>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref> He also thought of the idea of a player discovering it on accident by turning their console to be amusing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vB8EskmscKg?t=283 Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori Sun and Moon Interview]</ref>

According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by the extraterrestrial supervillain trope, common in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows.

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

Mega Malamar appears to iterate on the supervillain trope; particularly, its large, swollen brain and the tentacles wrapped around its head mirrors super-intelligent characters and genius supervillains in popular media, and its high collar is also a common trait in villain costumes. Mega Malamar using its tentacles to stimulate its own brain may also allude to the trope of characters who enhance their cognitive or psychic abilities by injecting a serum or connecting computer cables to their brains. Its body shape may also be based on the {{wp|nervous system}}, with its head, body, and tentacles standing in for the brain, {{wp|spinal cord}}, and nerves. Its shape may also be inspired by {{wp|fountain pen}}s, with its legs resembling a {{wp|Nib (pen)|pen nib}}. Mega Malamar may also be inspired by various squid species, including the {{wp|bigfin squid}}, a deep sea organism which also possesses extremely long and thin tentacles.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be derived from the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by sailors to describe rough sea conditions. It could also be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:mal-#English|mal‑]]'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), [[wiktionary:μαλάκιο|μαλάκιο]] ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''[[wiktionary:calamari#English|calamari]]'', and ''[[wiktionary:mare#Latin|mare]]'' (Latin for "sea").

Calamanero may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:calamaro|calamaro]]'' (Italian for "squid") and ''[[wiktionary:nero#Italian|nero]]'' (Italian for "black"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and [[wiktionary:魔#Japanese|魔]] ''ma'' (demon).

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. When playing on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or [[Nintendo Switch 2]], this can only be done in handheld mode and while no other controllers are connected, using the orientation of the attached Joy-Con controllers.

Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' using the [[Malamarite]]. Mega Malamar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is an amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its bluish-purple head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe of light nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. It induces hypnosis by flashing the lights on its body and performing certain hypnotic motions. It uses its hypnotic powers to lure in other Pokémon it deems prey, before ensnaring them in its tentacles and finishing them off with its digestive fluids. Malamar can also hypnotize people and control them to do its bidding; those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event once the hypnosis wears off. Malamar's hypnotic powers are often used by people for nefarious deeds, and these powers are said to influence several history-changing events. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be very intelligent — reaching almost human levels — and it is capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] depict Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Malamar uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming "legs"-first.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Malamar brain blast.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Malamar can stimulate its brain to boost its psychic powers<ref name=ZAsite2/>]]
Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Malamar.

Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-malamar Mega Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer arm tentacles, which are roughly twice as long as its body. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating.

Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers:<ref name=ZAsite/> the tip on its right arm glows green, while the tip on its left arm glows pink. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain.<ref name=ZAsite2>(September 10, 2025).

====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar was the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which ran from September 4 to 10, 2025. The campaign culminated with the reveal of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Malamar.
* Mega Malamar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 582.

===Concept and development===
Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

[[Shigeru Ohmori]] came up with Inkay's method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar. He suggested the method as the development team were thinking of ways to utilize the internal {{wp|gyroscope}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name=GameXplain>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref> He also thought of the idea of a player discovering it on accident by turning their console to be amusing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vB8EskmscKg?t=283 Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori Sun and Moon Interview]</ref>

According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by the extraterrestrial supervillain trope, common in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows.

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

Mega Malamar appears to iterate on the supervillain trope; particularly, its large, swollen brain and the tentacles wrapped around its head mirrors super-intelligent characters and genius supervillains in popular media, and its high collar is also a common trait in villain costumes. Mega Malamar using its tentacles to stimulate its own brain may also allude to the trope of characters who enhance their cognitive or psychic abilities by injecting a serum or connecting computer cables to their brains. Its body shape may also be based on the {{wp|nervous system}}, with its head, body, and tentacles standing in for the brain, {{wp|spinal cord}}, and nerves. Its shape may also be inspired by {{wp|fountain pen}}s, with its legs resembling a {{wp|Nib (pen)|pen nib}}. Mega Malamar may also be inspired by various squid species, including the {{wp|bigfin squid}}, a deep sea organism which also possesses extremely long and thin tentacles.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be derived from the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions. It could also be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:mal-#English|mal‑]]'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), [[wiktionary:μαλάκιο|μαλάκιο]] ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''[[wiktionary:calamari#English|calamari]]'', and ''[[wiktionary:mare#Latin|mare]]'' (Latin for "sea").

Calamanero may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:calamaro|calamaro]]'' (Italian for "squid") and ''[[wiktionary:nero#Italian|nero]]'' (Italian for "black"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and [[wiktionary:魔#Japanese|魔]] ''ma'' (demon).

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. When playing on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or [[Nintendo Switch 2]], this can only be done in handheld mode and while no other controllers are connected, using the orientation of the attached Joy-Con controllers.

Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' using the [[Malamarite]]. Mega Malamar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is an amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its bluish-purple head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe of light nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. It induces hypnosis by flashing the lights on its body and performing certain hypnotic motions. It uses its hypnotic powers to lure in other Pokémon it deems prey, before ensnaring them in its tentacles and finishing them off with its digestive fluids. Malamar can also hypnotize people and control them to do its bidding; those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event once the hypnosis wears off. Malamar's hypnotic powers are often used by people for nefarious deeds, and these powers are said to influence several history-changing events. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be very intelligent — reaching almost human levels — and it is capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] depict Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Malamar uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming "legs"-first.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Malamar brain blast.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Malamar can stimulate its brain to boost its psychic powers<ref name=ZAsite2/>]]
Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Malamar.

Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-malamar Mega Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer arm tentacles, which are roughly twice as long as its body. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating.

Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers:<ref name=ZAsite/> the tip on its right arm glows green, while the tip on its left arm glows pink. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain.<ref name=ZAsite2>(September 10, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-malamar Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Vivid and Brightly Glowing: Get to Know Mega Malamar!] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Highly intelligent, this Pokémon prefers to battle with efficiency, and uses its powerful intellect to calmly analyze the situation during battles. Mega Malamar's haughty personality makes it see others, including Pokémon Trainers, as pawns, and it may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their commands.<ref name=ZAsite/>{{left clear}}

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Malamar debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[HZ133|The Final Battle Is Near]]'', under the ownership of the [[Explorers]]. It reappeared in ''[[HZ135|The Core Awakens]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar was the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which ran from September 4 to 10, 2025. The campaign culminated with the reveal of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Malamar.
* Mega Malamar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 582.

===Concept and development===
Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

[[Shigeru Ohmori]] came up with Inkay's method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar. He suggested the method as the development team were thinking of ways to utilize the internal {{wp|gyroscope}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name=GameXplain>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref> He also thought of the idea of a player discovering it on accident by turning their console to be amusing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vB8EskmscKg?t=283 Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori Sun and Moon Interview]</ref>

According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by the extraterrestrial supervillain trope, common in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows.

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

Mega Malamar appears to iterate on the supervillain trope; particularly, its large, swollen brain and the tentacles wrapped around its head mirrors super-intelligent characters and genius supervillains in popular media, and its high collar is also a common trait in villain costumes. Mega Malamar using its tentacles to stimulate its own brain may also allude to the trope of characters who enhance their cognitive or psychic abilities by injecting a serum or connecting computer cables to their brains. Its body shape may also be based on the {{wp|nervous system}}, with its head, body, and tentacles standing in for the brain, {{wp|spinal cord}}, and nerves. Its shape may also be inspired by {{wp|fountain pen}}s, with its legs resembling a {{wp|Nib (pen)|pen nib}}. Mega Malamar may also be inspired by various squid species, including the {{wp|bigfin squid}}, a deep sea organism which also possesses extremely long and thin tentacles.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:mal-#English|mal‑]]'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), [[wiktionary:μαλάκιο|μαλάκιο]] ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''[[wiktionary:calamari#English|calamari]]'', and ''[[wiktionary:mare#Latin|mare]]'' (Latin for "sea"). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:calamaro|calamaro]]'' (Italian for "squid") and ''[[wiktionary:nero#Italian|nero]]'' (Italian for "black"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and [[wiktionary:魔#Japanese|魔]] ''ma'' (demon).

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Golem}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

In [[Alola]], Geodude has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Alolan}} Geodude'''. It evolves into Alolan Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Alolan Golem when traded. These Geodude can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Geodude OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Reference sheet of Geodude for the [[original series]]]]
Geodude is a khaki {{wp|boulder}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown pupils, and a wide mouth. Its arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. As a result of their physical appearance, {{p|Rhyperior}} sometimes mistakes this Pokémon for an actual boulder and fires it through its hands.

Geodude is proud of its sturdy body and will bash against others of its kind in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. It will even go as far as to compare itself with other species, such as {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Carbink}}. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes. Geodude's roundness makes it easy to pick up, with some people even using it as a substitute for snowballs in snowball fights. However, its toughness and heaviness makes this dangerous for others. Long-lived Geodude are completely smooth and round and have a calm demeanor. However, its heart remains rugged and tough, no matter what. Geodude can be most often found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain trails and fields}}, with a scholar counting about 100 of them on just one route. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for a rock. It is often stepped on and will sometimes swing its arms in anger when this occurs. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Geodude SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Geodude for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Geodude has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Geodude.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Geodude is made of a magnetic rock with a more silvery appearance. There are areas on Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attract iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-geodude/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Geodude] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20170925010027mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-geodude/ archived])</ref> Its fingers are fused together, leaving only the thumb and index finger free.

Stepping on Alolan Geodude results in an electrical shock and sometimes an angry headbutt. Like regular Geodude, it competes with other Alolan Geodude by bashing its head, with the iron sand sticking to the one with stronger magnetism. Alolan {{p|Golem}} will fire these Geodude from its back if real rocks are absent. They can also be found in the [[Canyon Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Geodude and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Galvanize}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Geodude evolves into {{p|Graveler}}, which evolves into {{p|Golem}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Geodude has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Graveler, which evolves into Alolan Golem.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Geodude is the final Poké Float to appear in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. As the {{p|Unown}} float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Geodude appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The Spirit Battle is against four gray {{sbw|Kirby}}s who favor their down special. This battle occurs on the Ground terrain of {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}}.

==Merchandise==
Geodude was featured as:
* a key chain in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese game {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, Geodude [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld [[Generation I]] games.
* Geodude and its Evolutions are the only three-stage evolutionary line consisting of Rock type Pokémon in Generation I.
** Although the Rock type {{p|Rhyhorn}} has a three-stage evolutionary line, its final Evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}, was not introduced until [[Generation IV]].
* Geodude's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have a [[regional form]].
* Alolan Geodude has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Geodude is similar to {{p|Roggenrola}}: both are {{type|Rock}}, have {{a|Sturdy}} as one of their {{Abilities}}, [[Evolution|evolve]] at level 25, and reach their final forms when [[trade]]d.
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, Geodude, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.

===Concept and development===
Alolan Geodude and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>

[[File:Alolan Geodude SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon Sun and Moon|Concept art]] featuring Alolan Geodude from {{game|Sun and Moon|s}}.]]

===Origin===
Geodude, being a living {{wp|Rock (geology)|rock}} or {{wp|boulder}}, may be based on an earth {{wp|elemental}} creature like a {{wp|golem}}.

Alolan Geodude seems to have dark structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. This iron ore takes shape of Geodude's {{wp|eyebrow}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may also be a pun on {{wp|thunderegg}}s.

====Name origin====
Geodude is a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:geo-|geo-]]'' (prefix for earth) and ''[[Wiktionary:dude|dude]]'' (slang word for a male person).<ref>'''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz|ポケＱポン}}''' (PokéQuiz in Japanese): 正解はＧＥＯＤＵＤＥ！ジオドゥードです！ＧＥＯは地理に関すること　ＤＵＤＥは奴って意味なんですよ</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|geode}}'' (hollow rock with crystals lined inside).

Isitsubute is a combination of [[Wiktionary:石|石]] ''ishi'' (stone; rock) and [[Wiktionary:礫|礫]] ''tsubute'' (pebble, stone, or a small [[Wiktionary:throwing stone|throwing stone]]).<ref>'''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz}}''': The correct answer’s Ishitsubute! I‑shee‑tsu‑bu‑te! “Ishi” means rock, and “tsubute” is like a throwing stone. Don’t try to throw a Geodude, though, because you will probably get hurt!</ref>

Talk:Helioptile (Pokémon)

2026-07-09T22:06:06Z

TorNyan: Corrected my reply

==Helioptile==
Combination of Helios, meaning Sun, and Reptile. [[User:Articerile|Articerile]] ([[User talk:Articerile|talk]]) 12:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
:Because of the Helios in the name, I wonder if Helioptile will be able to learn grass-type moves. (Just speculation, of course.) [[User:Nuckles123|Nuckles123]] ([[User talk:Nuckles123|talk]]) 19:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
:The current "Name origin" suggests that ''[[wiktionary:heliophile|heliophile]]'' (organism attracted to large amounts of sunlight) and ''{{wp|coleoptile}}'' (the tip of a plant shoot) may be involved. Those seem off to me, especially coleoptile. It's probably just '''helio'''s/'''Helio'''s + re'''ptile'''. And similaries to heliophile and coleoptile are probably coincidental and not relevant when they picked the name. [[User:TorNyan|TorNyan]] ([[User talk:TorNyan|talk]]) 22:03, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

==Based on a lizard & Name origins==

On the page it says that "Erikiteru is based on a lizard," but I think it's actually based on a mongoose. For one, it only passing looks like a lizard, and looks much more mammalian. Secondly, it's name is "Erikiteru," which I believe to be a portmanteau of "Electric" and "Riki-Tiki-Tavi," Kipling's famous mongoose. Just my two cents.

--[[User:Zoraluigi|Zoraluigi]] ''([[User talk:Zoraluigi|Talk]])'' 17:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:Really? Imo it's very lizard-like due to its body shape, tail, mouth, eyes, and nostrils, while the only things that makes it look only remotely like a mammal are its "ears". Then again, mongooses don't have ears like that.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:01, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
::IMO it's a loose adaptation of a frilled lizard, with those thin appendages in place of the portentous frills (speculating it has more of those folded in). Eri might come from エリマキトカゲ ''erimaki tokage'', frilled lizard, and going by the new move it comes with (Parabola Charge) its head appendages might somehow work like a parabolic antenna, which a frilled lizard would be easy to cross with.--[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] ([[User talk:Kaoz|talk]]) 18:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:::If you ask me, I believe it to be partially based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_salamander Spotted Salamander]. It was recently discovered in 2010 that it is capable of absorbing sunlight and converting it as its own energy, similar to how solar panels work. (Yes I took this somewhat from Charmander, but that's not the point) I believe it to be based as a combination of both things. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] ([[User talk:Rai Marshall|talk]]) 23:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:::The name probably comes from "erimake tokage" and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elekiter "elekiter"].—[[User:Urutapu|urutapu]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]]) 05:01, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Helioptile is a small, lizard-like Pokemon that is mostly pale yellow. Its feet and tail tip are black, as is the top of its head. It has two frills hanging from the sides of its head that are black with yellow tips. The frills can stiffen and unfold. It has large eyes with blue irises and white pupils, and a mouth that appears curved into a smile, with two small nostrils above it. It has a triangle-shaped yellow patch between its eyes.

== Physics. ==

I don't know if this is unusual. But could the origin or trivia stat that Helioptile is partially Normal-Type because of its relation with physics? It is based on the concept of a solar panel, a device that makes (electrical) energy out of light. And light and other physics are part of the Normal-Type (Giga Impact, Flash, Hyper Voice).

:While that's a good observation, I think we'll have to wait until more information is released before making that connection. If Helioptile gets an Evolution that makes the solar panel reference explicit, I'd consider putting this under Trivia -- so long as more experienced editors are in agreement that Giga Impact, Flash, Hyper Voice, etc. represent the physical mechanics behind light and sound, and that the Normal type is more connected to physics than other types.

==Based on a lizard & Name origins==

On the page it says that "Erikiteru is based on a lizard," but I think it's actually based on a mongoose. For one, it only passing looks like a lizard, and looks much more mammalian. Secondly, it's name is "Erikiteru," which I believe to be a portmanteau of "Electric" and "Riki-Tiki-Tavi," Kipling's famous mongoose. Just my two cents.

--[[User:Zoraluigi|Zoraluigi]] ''([[User talk:Zoraluigi|Talk]])'' 17:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Since dex numbers are not known for either yet, saying that Helioptile is the first revealed to have a secondary Normal type will be accurate regardless of dex number. It's best to wait until dex numbers are revealed, in my opinion. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 13:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Well, Litleo cannot become "[...] the first Pokémon revealed to have Normal-type as a secondary typing" by its Pokédex Number since Helioptile was revealed first. (Though, Litleo can be the first Pokémon by Pokédex Number and any wording should be careful to avoid being incorrect due to [[F-00_(Pokémon)#F-00|F-00]].) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 02:51, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

== Korean name for Helioptile ==

Its Korean name is 목도리키텔 ''Mokdorikitel''. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 17:46, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
* 목도리 ''mokdori'' is from 목도리도마뱀 ''mokdori'domabaem'', the frilled-neck lizard
* 리키텔 ''rikitel'' is from 에리키텔 ''erikitel'', the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elekiter elikiter] -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 19:23, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

== Physics. ==

I don't know if this is unusual. But could the origin or trivia stat that Helioptile is partially Normal-Type because of its relation with physics? It is based on the concept of a solar panel, a device that makes (electrical) energy out of light. And light and other physics are part of the Normal-Type (Giga Impact, Flash, Hyper Voice). [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:58, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
:While that's a good observation, I think we'll have to wait until more information is released before making that connection. If Helioptile gets an Evolution that makes the solar panel reference explicit, I'd consider putting this under Trivia -- so long as more experienced editors are in agreement that Giga Impact, Flash, Hyper Voice, etc. represent the physical mechanics behind light and sound, and that the Normal type is more connected to physics than other types.

'''Helioptile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エリキテル''' ''Erikiteru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Heliolisk}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:HelioptileAlterGenesis81.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Helioptile generating electricity]]
Helioptile is a bipedal, lizard-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily pale yellow with black feet and a black tail tip. The top of its head is also black with a triangular yellow marking on its forehead. It has blue eyes, a V-shaped mouth, a slightly pointed head, a tapering tail, and three toes on each foot. On either side of its head hangs a pointed, extension with a yellow tip. These can stiffen and expand into a frill.

These frills have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. This allows it to create its own energy and thrive without food in its desert home. The frills act similar to solar panels and are the source of Helioptile's electric moves. However should this process get interrupted, Helioptile will be stressed to the point of weakness. As seen in one of its attack animations in the games, its head and frills glow with a pale yellow light when it uses certain moves.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Helioptile and its evolved form, {{p|Heliolisk}}, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electrify}}.

===Evolution===
Helioptile evolves into {{p|Heliolisk}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]===
Helioptile appears in the background of the {{st|Prism Tower}} stage.

Helioptile appears as a trophy in the 3DS version of the game, but not the Wii U version.

====Trophy information====
''A very timid Pokémon that makes its home in arid deserts. The necktie-like frills on either side of its head can be stretched out to absorb sunlight, which Helioptile then uses to generate electricity. Thanks to this energy source, it can even survive without food. If your phone runs out of battery in the desert, why not ask this guy for help?''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Helioptile and its evolved form are the only Pokémon to have three possible {{Abilities}} ({{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, and {{a|Solar Power}}) that get affected by three different weather conditions ({{weather|rain}}, {{weather|sandstorm}}, and {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, respectively).
* Helioptile and its Evolution are the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Helioptile is the only non-{{type|Grass}} Pokémon that [[Evolution|evolves]] by using a [[Sun Stone]].
* Helioptile is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 289.

===Origin===
Helioptile is probably based on {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}s, although its frills also resemble those found on the {{wp|Phrynocephalus mystaceus|secret toadhead agama}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|spotted salamander}}, a salamander that can {{wp|photosynthesize}}. Its ability to learn {{m|Surf}} may be a reference to the {{wp|common basilisk}}, a reptile capable of running on water for short distances. Additionally, it shares few resemblances to the {{wp|leopard gecko}}. Its {{Shiny}} variant's red coloration may be a reference to {{wp|sunburn}}.

====Name origin====
Helioptile may be a combination of [[Wiktionary:ἥλιος|ἥλιος]] ''hḗlios'' (Ancient Greek for "sun") and ''{{wp|reptile}}''. It may also incorporate Ἥλιος (''{{wp|Helios}}'', the god in ancient Greek religion who personifies the sun), ''[[wiktionary:heliophile|heliophile]]'' (organism attracted to large amounts of sunlight) and ''{{wp|coleoptile}}'' (the tip of a plant shoot).

Erikiteru may be a combination of ''{{wp|elekiter}}'' or ''[[Wiktionary:electric|electric]]'', [[Wiktionary:襟巻蜥蜴|襟巻蜥蜴]] ''erimaki tokage'' ({{wp|Chlamydosaurus kingii|frilled lizard}}), and [[Wiktionary:照る|照る]] ''teru'' (to shine).

I noticed the resemblence to this thing from Super Smash Bros. Brawl right away.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a363/SonicAngel948/Gamyga.jpg

: It's certainly gothic, but does anyone else think it could be the counterpart to {{p|Jynx}}? Both appear to be based on Japanese fashions (ganguro for Jynx), both are humanoid with purple skin, and both are Psychic. I would hesitate to suggest they're actually related through evolution, though. ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 19:41, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi I'm new I've already been editing a bunch of pages like Wynaut and Abomasnow but I beleive the "zaru" refers to the french word mademoiselle. "Celestial Body" is another term for "astral body" which is the psychic energy from the spirit leaving the body during sleep. I'm probly wrong though the person below who suggests that she is somewhat of a fallen angel seems more right. ([[User:Snozzardi|***Snozzardi***]] 17:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC))
:I think that too little of mademoiselle is used for it to considered a likely origin. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

== Romanization ==

I think it's '''Gothirusel''', though not quite sure what's the second part derived from. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
:My guesses are ''carousel'' (カルーセル karūseru) or ''mademoiselle''.--[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Also bear in mind that much of the Japanese names have the potential to have several references in them. From what I've gathered, "chiru" is the verb for "to fall, to disperse, to disappear," and considering she's the Celestial body pokemon, this could be a clue as to why she's represented as a Gothic Lolita; Goths are perceived as sad and depressed, and if you're a Celestial Body who has fallen from the heavens, you'd be a sad and depressed too. And I know the "Gochi" part of her name is derived from the Japanese spelling of "Gothic," but there is the potential that they intended for "chiru" to have meaning as well. Now, only to figure out what the "zeru" part means. --[[User:Oleandervine|Oleandervine]] 17:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:Sacrebleu! I think I have figured something out. I have found that the French word "Echelle" means "ladder" or "stairs," and it's also used in astronomy, as the Echelle Grating, which is way of splitting light waves in a spectrograph in order to get clearer readings. Spectrographs are used in astronomy to observe stars, galaxies, and planets using only the light they emit. Anyhoo, the "zeru" portion of her name could be a cut-off part of "echelle, and since it's is used in astronomy, and means "ladder" or "stairs," it could be why this little pokemon has the stacked, tiered look to her (almost ladder like) and it could be a link to the Celestial bodies which she is the pokemon of. --[[User:Oleandervine|Oleandervine]] 17:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

This may seem silly, but considering that "r" in Japanese = "l" in English, I'm guessing Gothilasel.
Gochi = Gothi
ruz = las(s)

== Accordion reference? ==

Wasn't entirely sure where to put this, but i'll go ahead. A recent video shows Gochi's cry, which sounds almost like an accordion. That, along with the way she looks and moves, also points to this.

== Cinderella!? ==

Has the whole fairy tale name thing been confirmed? Because, along with the other names, the association makes very little sense.

"French Sidérella From Sidéral and Cinderella"

It would make far more sense that the name Sidérella comes from Sidéral and either Elle, which is a french female pronoun, or Ella, which is french for "girl" and makes far more sense along with the other language names, many of which reference the words "girl", "Woman", or "lady" in their respective languages. Also, "Cinderella" Effectively means "Girl of cinders" or "fire girl", and we all know this is not a fire pokemon. The fairy tale reference makes no sense at all, and unless the quote saying the name is a reference from Cinderella is from an official source, I highly suggest we fix this.

== Japanese name origin ==

Currently, it says that Gothiruselle may be from "Gothic (referring to either Gothic art or the Goth subculture) and mademoiselle (Miss, French courtesy title for a young woman)". But where does "ru" come from? My immediate association has always been [[wiktionary:carousel|carousel]]. There's no obvious connection to carousel as far as I can see. But it certainly makes the name more fun. The only connections I see are 1. carousels are often quite ornamented, as are people wearing Gothic Lolita, and 2. Gothiruselle has various round shapes. In Japanese, carousel is either [[wiktionary:回転木馬|回転木馬]] ''kaiten-mokuba'', [[wiktionary:メリーゴーラウンド|メリーゴーラウンド]] ''merīgōraundo'', or {{wp|ja:カルーセル|カルーセル}} ''karēseru''. If not carousel, then [[wiktionary:ruse|ruse]]? Oh, and of course, Gochimu has three syllables, Gochimiru has four syllables, and Gochiruseru six syllables... feels like a pattern. It starts with Gochi, but for each stage, the name gets longer. [[User:TorNyan|TorNyan]] ([[User talk:TorNyan|talk]]) 21:35, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

'''Sunflora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キマワリ''' ''Kimawari'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Sunkern}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Goh Mr. Norris Sunflora.png|thumb|left|250px|Sunflora closes its petals when asleep]]
Sunflora is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{wp|Helianthus|sunflower}}-like design, having a green trunk and limbs. Its head is circular and cream-colored, with yellow petals growing along the rim. The petals become more vivid as the weather becomes warmer. Sunflora's face has two eyes that appear perpetually closed, and a thin line running vertical beside each eye. Sunflora has leaves extending like arms from its round body and two toes on each foot.

Sunflora converts {{wp|Photosynthesis|sunlight into nutrition}}. Because of this, it tends to pursue sunlight and is always looking in the direction of the sun. While the sun is up, it moves around in a hectic manner. When the sun sets, it comes to a complete stop and closes its petals. In addition to sunlight, Sunflora needs plenty of water. [[EP135|The animated series]] demonstrates that sunlight can cause a Sunflora's head to grow. Too much sunlight exposure will grow their heads so big that it will immobilize a Sunflora. Sunflora is rarely seen in the wild, but it can sometimes be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grassy meadows}}.

===Evolution===
Sunflora evolves from {{p|Sunkern}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Sunflora|2}} is a member of [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. She tends to fret and say "Oh my gosh!" at everything. She keeps her Oh My Gosh Diary in her room and updates it over the course of the game.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: In addition to what happened in Explorers of Time and Darkness, there is a special episode titled ''[[Today's "Oh My Gosh"]]''. It shows Sunflora attempting a mission issued to her by {{p|Magnezone}} and [[Guildmaster Wigglytuff|Wigglytuff]], which is to capture a {{p|Haunter}}, also known as "The Invincible Haunter". She and {{mdc|Loudred|2}} defeat Haunter at the end of the special episode.

==Trivia==
[[File:Meowth Sunflora.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}} disguised as a Sunflora]]
* Sunflora shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Volcarona}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
* Sunflora and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Early Bird}} as its [[Hidden Ability]].
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Tauros}}.
* Sunflora is {{MTR}}'s most frequently used {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', having been used seven times.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 190.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Sunflora]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Sunflora appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Sanī'' (サニー). It resembled a planted sunflower instead of a {{wp|bipedal}} one.

===Origin===
Sunflora seems to be based on a {{wp|Helianthus|sunflower}} and its close association with the {{wp|Sun}}.

====Name origin====
Sunflora may be a combination of ''sun'' or ''{{wp|sunflower}}'' and ''{{wp|flora}}''.

Kimawari may be a combination of 吉 ''ki'' (joy) or 黄 ''ki'' (yellow) and 向日葵 ''himawari'' (sunflower).

'''Sunflora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キマワリ''' ''Kimawari'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Sunkern}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Goh Mr. Norris Sunflora.png|thumb|left|250px|Sunflora closes its petals when asleep]]
Sunflora is a {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{wp|Helianthus|sunflower}}-like design, having a green trunk and limbs. Its head is circular and cream-colored, with yellow petals growing along the rim. The petals become more vivid as the weather becomes warmer. Sunflora's face has two eyes that appear perpetually closed, and a thin line running vertical beside each eye. Sunflora has leaves extending like arms from its round body and two toes on each foot.

Sunflora converts {{wp|Photosynthesis|sunlight into nutrition}}. Because of this, it tends to pursue sunlight and is always looking in the direction of the sun. While the sun is up, it moves around in a hectic manner. When the sun sets, it comes to a complete stop and closes its petals. In addition to sunlight, Sunflora needs plenty of water. [[EP135|The animated series]] demonstrates that sunlight can cause a Sunflora's head to grow. Too much sunlight exposure will grow their heads so big that it will immobilize a Sunflora. Sunflora is rarely seen in the wild, but it can sometimes be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grassy meadows}}.

===Evolution===
Sunflora evolves from {{p|Sunkern}}.

[[File:Mr. Norris Sunflora.png|thumb|250px|Sunflora in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Sunflora (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)]]=====
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', a Sunflora from [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] traveled along with the new Exploration [[Team Poképals]] for their first mission. It reappeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====Other=====
Multiple Sunflora debuted in ''[[EP135|Grin to Win!]]'', when the citizens of [[Bloomingvale]] held their annual [[Sunflora Festival]]. Some of the Sunflora, all of them with [[nickname]]s, appeared under the ownership of [[Sonrisa]] and {{OBP|Cyrus|EP135}}.

In ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', a Sunkern used {{Ash}}'s [[Sun Stone]] to evolve into a Sunflora. [[Sophia]] and [[Marcello]] take pictures of many Sunflora every year, this year in particular being their {{wp|Golden jubilee|golden anniversary}}.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Nando]]'s Sunflora fled after its {{pkmn|Trainer}} was accused of stealing the [[Adamant Orb]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Meowth Sunflora.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}} disguised as a Sunflora]]
* Sunflora shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Volcarona}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
* Sunflora and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Early Bird}} as its [[Hidden Ability]].
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Tauros}}.
* Sunflora is {{MTR}}'s most frequently used {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', having been used seven times.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 190.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Sunflora]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Sunflora appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Sanī'' (サニー). It resembled a planted sunflower instead of a {{wp|bipedal}} one.

===Origin===
Sunflora seems to be based on a {{wp|Helianthus|sunflower}} and its close association with the {{wp|Sun}}.

====Name origin====
Sunflora may be a combination of ''sun'' or ''{{wp|sunflower}}'' and ''{{wp|flora}}''.

Kimawari may be a combination of 吉 ''ki'' (joy) 黄 or ''ki'' (yellow) and 向日葵 ''himawari'' (sunflower).

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|was]] a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

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

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly {{wp|robot|robotic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a gray, spherical metal body, with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, it is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrition are electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. It has also been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the [[Kalos]] war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body generate an electromagnetic field that allows it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. The units generate stronger magnetic fields the faster they rotate. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive but they may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will retaliate with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, as seen in the {{aniseries|PTS}} episode ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it's shown that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. Should it run out of electricity, Magnemite will fall to the ground. Usually, batteries can help recharge it in order for Magnemite to start moving again.

Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. In the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it is shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Magnemite is known to sleep airbone by generating electromagnetic waves from its side magnets.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>There are rare occasions where while Magnemite sleeps and muddles to the direction of its waves, it will loop in the air while sleeping.

===Evolution===
Magnemite evolves into {{p|Magneton}}, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: A group of Magnemite are the clients of the game's second mission, sending the player to save their friend who is trapped in [[Thunderwave Cave]]. One of the Magnemite decides to join the rescue team a couple of days later.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Two Magnemite serve as {{p|Magnezone}}'s police units.
* {{g|Pokopia}}: Magnemite is found underneath the strange building located on [[Withered Wasteland]]'s beach. After being befriended and provided with a new [[Habitat Dex|home]], they teach {{poko|Ditto}} how to use {{m|Magnet Rise}}.

===Evolution data===
Magnemite [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==In animation==
[[File:Clemont Magnemite.png|thumb|250px|Magnemite in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Clemont's Magnemite]]=====
{{an|Clemont}} owns a Magnemite that first appeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''. It stays at the [[Lumiose Gym]].

=====[[Francois]]=====
[[Ren]] owns a Magnemite [[nickname]]d Francois (Japanese: '''フランソワーズ''' ''Françoise'').

=====Other=====
Magnemite debuted in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in [[Gringey City]] while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, Magnemite showed up and was attracted to [[Ash's Pikachu]], who had a cold. When a group of {{p|Grimer}} and its {{AP|Muk}} leader were chasing Ash and his friends, a group of other Magnemite, along with Magneton, helped fight them off.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} used multiple Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms, with this energy being given to towns without power. One of the Magnemite, [[nickname]]d Number 6, evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and Pikachu from {{TRT}}.

In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', a group of [[phony Pokémon interpreters]] used three Magnemite to attack a [[Pokémon Center]] until [[Simon]] convinced them to stop.

In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', ten Magnemite served as security guards for an electric company's power station. They first attacked Team Rocket, who had sneaked into the power station. Later on, Ash saw the door had been opened by someone, and upon investigation, he was also attacked by the Magnemite.

[[Jasmine]]'s Magnemite debuted in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', where it sat perched on her shoulder. Magnemite was later used in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]''; it battled {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was able to defeat Magnemite with {{m|Quick Attack}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', [[Wattson]] used a Magnemite during Ash's Gym battle against him. It was defeated easily due Pikachu having become overcharged during an earlier incident. Three {{pkmn2|wild}} Magnemite also appeared later in the episode.

In ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', multiple Magnemite were part of a pack of {{type|Steel}} Pokémon in the [[Valley of Steel]] bullying a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.

In [[PK13]], a Magnemite attacked Meowth and Wobbuffet with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but it was quickly defeated by Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}}.

In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', an army of Magnemite and Magneton, led by a {{p|Magnezone}}, was owned by [[Zero]]. He mainly used them as a swarm to trap or capture targets by linking together around them.

In ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', {{an|Brock}} temporarily trained a Magnemite provided by the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]]. Unlike the rest of the group, he had no problems bonding with and educating his Pokémon.

In ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', a wild Magnemite lived on a {{OBP|Deserted Island|BW087|deserted island}}. It attacked {{an|Iris}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} with an Electric attack after Iris got too close it.

Two Magnemite appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', and ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', both under the ownership of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s.

In ''[[JN093|It's All in the Name!]]'', multiple Magnemite, including one belonging to a Trainer, went crazy in [[Vermilion City]] due to a {{wp|geomagnetic storm|magnetic storm}}.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', a Magnemite was at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].

==Merchandise==
Magnemite was featured as:
* a spinner in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* Magnemite and its [[Evolution|evolved]] form were the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Despite most of Magnemite's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite and Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* {{g|Snap}} is one of the few times that two Magnemite have been shown bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed Evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
* On May 31, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Where is Coil? Here is Coil!]].

===Cultural impact===
In 2008, Japanese internet users spammed votes for Magnemite on a {{wp|Yahoo! Kids}} poll featuring 9 Pokémon appearing in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Since then, several Japanese Pokémon polls have received an unusual amount of votes for Magnemite, including the 2021 [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll, when it came in 1st place for [[Kanto]] Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
Magnemite was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], based on an idea by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].<ref name=USUMPokédex>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xv</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Magnemite was originally known in English as ''Coil''.

===Origin===
Magnemite is based on {{wp|magnet}}s<ref name=USUMPokédex/> and screws, and in broader terms, possibly an objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a combination of ''magnet'' and ''[[wiktionary:mite#Noun|mite]]'' (minute object) or ''[[wiktionary:might|might]]'' (power, as in ''[[wiktionary:mighty|mighty]]''). It may also play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}'' and/or ''{{wp|maghemite}}'', iron oxide minerals that can, under specific conditions, become permanent magnets.

Coil may come from ''[[wiktionary:コイル|コイル]]'' ''koiru'' ({{wp|electromagnetic coil}}).

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|was]] a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

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

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly {{wp|robot|robotic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a gray, spherical metal body, with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, it is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrition are electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. It has also been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the [[Kalos]] war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body generate an electromagnetic field that allows it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. The units generate stronger magnetic fields the faster they rotate. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive but they may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will retaliate with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, as seen in the {{aniseries|PTS}} episode ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it's shown that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. Should it run out of electricity, Magnemite will fall to the ground. Usually, batteries can help recharge it in order for Magnemite to start moving again.

Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. In the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it is shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Magnemite is known to sleep airbone by generating electromagnetic waves from its side magnets.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>There are rare occasions where while Magnemite sleeps and muddles to the direction of its waves, it will loop in the air while sleeping.

===Evolution===
Magnemite evolves into {{p|Magneton}}, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===Evolution data===
Magnemite [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Magnemite appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.
{{-}}

==Merchandise==
Magnemite was featured as:
* a spinner in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* Magnemite and its [[Evolution|evolved]] form were the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Despite most of Magnemite's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite and Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* {{g|Snap}} is one of the few times that two Magnemite have been shown bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed Evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
* On May 31, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Where is Coil? Here is Coil!]].

===Cultural impact===
In 2008, Japanese internet users spammed votes for Magnemite on a {{wp|Yahoo! Kids}} poll featuring 9 Pokémon appearing in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Since then, several Japanese Pokémon polls have received an unusual amount of votes for Magnemite, including the 2021 [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll, when it came in 1st place for [[Kanto]] Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
Magnemite was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], based on an idea by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].<ref name=USUMPokédex>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xv</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Magnemite was originally known in English as ''Coil''.

===Origin===
Magnemite is based on {{wp|magnet}}s<ref name=USUMPokédex/> and screws, and in broader terms, possibly an objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a combination of ''magnet'' and ''[[wiktionary:mite#Noun|mite]]'' (minute object) or ''[[wiktionary:might|might]]'' (power, as in ''[[wiktionary:mighty|mighty]]''). It may also play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}'' and/or ''{{wp|maghemite}}'', iron oxide minerals that can, under specific conditions, become permanent magnets.

Coil may refer to ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|was]] a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

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

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly {{wp|robot|robotic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a gray, spherical metal body, with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, it is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrition are electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. It has also been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the [[Kalos]] war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body generate an electromagnetic field that allows it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. The units generate stronger magnetic fields the faster they rotate. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive but they may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will retaliate with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, as seen in the {{aniseries|PTS}} episode ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it's shown that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. Should it run out of electricity, Magnemite will fall to the ground. Usually, batteries can help recharge it in order for Magnemite to start moving again.

Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. In the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it is shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Magnemite is known to sleep airbone by generating electromagnetic waves from its side magnets.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>There are rare occasions where while Magnemite sleeps and muddles to the direction of its waves, it will loop in the air while sleeping.

===Evolution===
Magnemite evolves into {{p|Magneton}}, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: A group of Magnemite are the clients of the game's second mission, sending the player to save their friend who is trapped in [[Thunderwave Cave]]. One of the Magnemite decides to join the rescue team a couple of days later.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Two Magnemite serve as {{p|Magnezone}}'s police units.
* {{g|Pokopia}}: Magnemite is found underneath the strange building located on [[Withered Wasteland]]'s beach. After being befriended and provided with a new [[Habitat Dex|home]], they teach {{poko|Ditto}} how to use {{m|Magnet Rise}}.

===Evolution data===
Magnemite [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

''Instantly recognizable by the horseshoe magnets on either side of its body, this Magnet Pokémon uses electromagnetic waves to nullify gravity and float in midair. The sense of nostalgia it inspires has only been strengthened by the many years that have passed since its debut in the very first Pokémon games.''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Magnemite appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.
{{-}}

==Merchandise==
Magnemite was featured as:
* a spinner in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* Magnemite and its [[Evolution|evolved]] form were the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Despite most of Magnemite's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite and Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* {{g|Snap}} is one of the few times that two Magnemite have been shown bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed Evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
* On May 31, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Where is Coil? Here is Coil!]].

===Cultural impact===
In 2008, Japanese internet users spammed votes for Magnemite on a {{wp|Yahoo! Kids}} poll featuring 9 Pokémon appearing in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Since then, several Japanese Pokémon polls have received an unusual amount of votes for Magnemite, including the 2021 [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll, when it came in 1st place for [[Kanto]] Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
Magnemite was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], based on an idea by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].<ref name=USUMPokédex>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xv</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Magnemite was originally known in English as ''Coil''.

===Origin===
Magnemite is based on {{wp|magnet}}s<ref name=USUMPokédex/> and screws, and in broader terms, possibly an objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a combination of ''magnet'' and ''[[wiktionary:mite#Noun|mite]]'' (minute object). It may also play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}'' and/or ''{{wp|maghemite}}'', iron oxide minerals that can, under specific conditions, become permanent magnets.

Coil may refer to ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

'''Vileplume''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラフレシア''' ''Ruffresia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Bellossom}}.

==Biology==
Vileplume is an indigo, bipedal ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}''-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rudimentary hands and feet. It has beady red eyes and a small mouth, and its head and torso are a single joined segment. On its head is a massive red flower with five bulky petals and an orange-brown center. Vileplume's flower is said to have the largest petals in the world and is almost too heavy for the Pokémon itself to support. The rounded petals of the flower are red and covered with white spots. A female Vileplume has fewer, but larger, spots on its petals. When defeated in the {{DL|Pokémon games|side series}} games, Vileplume's body appears to either deflate or withers while the flower remains.

Vileplume can shake, flap, or burst its petals into bloom with a bang in order to release clouds of pollen. This pollen is yellow and highly allergenic to humans, and toxic to other Pokémon; Vileplume uses it to paralyze its prey before devouring it. The larger the Vileplume's petals are, the more potent the toxin on its pollen is. Vileplume's behavior of flapping its petals also makes very loud noises. Being the result of an [[Evolution]] via [[Evolution stone]], Vileplume is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}. It is often mistaken for local flowers in the wild.

In [[Generation I]], Vileplume and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Petal Dance}}.

===Evolution===
Vileplume evolves from {{p|Gloom}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Oddish}}, the other being {{p|Bellossom}}.

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

===Concept and development===
Vileplume was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM 西田敦子さんインタビュー - GAME FREAK]</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
Vileplume seems to be based on a {{wp|mandrake}}, plants from the ''{{wp|Mandragora}}'' genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures; and ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'', a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers. It is especially similar to ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}'', which produces the largest single flower on Earth. Female Vileplume resemble ''{{wp|Rafflesia hasseltii}}'' due to the larger spots on their petals.

Its habit of attracting prey with its petals before immobilizing and devouring them is similar to the behavior of various {{wp|carnivorous plant}}s.

====Name origin====
Vileplume may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:vile|vile]]'' (causing physical or mental repulsion) and ''[[Wiktionary:plume#English|plume]]'' (object that resembles a feather; cloud of dispersed substance) or ''{{wp|flower|bloom}}''.

Ruffresia may be derived from ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'' (a kind of plant; stinking corpse lily).

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

Celebi was officially revealed in the July 2000 issue of [[CoroCoro]].<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro-00-7.html</ref> It is the guardian of [[Ilex Forest]], as well as the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Celebi temporal anomaly vision.png|left|thumb|250px|Celebi sensing a temporal anomaly (from its perspective)]]
Celebi is a green, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has round toeless feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. It has a round head that comes to a curved point. It has large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.

Often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, Celebi is known in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends]] as the "Voice of the Forest." It is able to [[Time travel|travel through time]] and exist simultaneously throughout time, and plant life flourishes wherever it has been. As seen in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', said plant life is able to heal Celebi when it is dying and restore the flora around it to perfect health. Celebi also has the ability to heal wounds, and can release a telekinetic energy wave to defend itself. It was shown in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] that Celebi has the power to instantly [[Purification|purify]] [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can be summoned at [[Agate Village#Relic Forest|Relic Forest]] with the melody of a [[Time Flute]]. Despite living in forests as its guardian, Celebi only shows itself in areas and times of peace. It has been regarded that as long as it is seen throughout the world, a prosperous and bright future is still in store for the [[Pokémon world]]. As depicted in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Celebi can sense if something is a temporal anomaly in the current timeline and will bring them back to their original timeline. It has been referred to as a forest deity.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Colosseum]]: Celebi has a connection with the [[Relic Stone]] in [[Agate Village]], which holds the power to [[Purification|purify]] [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Playing a [[Time Flute]] at the Relic Stone can briefly summon Celebi to directly purify any single Shadow Pokémon, regardless of the status of its [[Heart Gauge]].
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Celebi is in a [[Ranger Net]] mission. In the mission, the {{player}} must capture the Celebi to save it from the [[Go-Rock Squad]]. It is found wandering in [[Lyra Forest]].
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: A [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Shiny Celebi]] is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, the player, partner, and {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle and the player to the past before, and the trio receive her help to go back again.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Celebi is the first boss of the game and a main Pokémon in the storyline. It has the power to [[time travel]] and can send the player (without the [[Ukulele Pichu]]) into the past. It can also send specific Pokémon to the present if the player uses the correct [[Ranger Signs]].
* [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]: A Celebi appears as an ally to {{mdc|Ampharos|smd}} and {{p|Jirachi}} of the [[Expedition Society]], researching the past to find out information about the [[Dark Matter]] and the previous battle against it. Celebi also assists the player and partner in reaching the [[Tree of Life]] at the end of the [[Road to Primeval Forest]].

===Pokédex entries===
In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, Celebi's [[Pokédex entry]] states: "もりのかみさまとしてまつられる" (''worshipped as a deity of the forest''). This was adapted in English as "revered as a guardian of the forest".

===Major appearances===
====[[Celebi (M04)]]====
Celebi debuted in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. In the beginning, a {{OBP|Pokémon poacher|M04}} was after a it, and it traveled 40 years into the future to escape from him, taking [[Sam]] along with it by accident. The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} the Time Travel Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. However, {{Ash}} and Sam managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron-Masked Marauder's spell.

====[[Celebi (M13)]]====
In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', [[Grings Kodai]] was after Celebi's [[Time Ripple]] in order to restore his ability to see the future, which he got on a previous encounter with it.

====Celebi (recurring)====
In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', a Celebi was disturbed by the {{pkmn|battle}} between [[Ash's Lycanroc]] and {{AP|Torracat}}.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Celebi was revealed to have chosen {{adv|Ruby}} as its new Trainer before he moved from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]], though Ruby had no idea of how rare of a Pokémon it was. Remaining unseen for almost the entire {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, it appeared at the end of the arc to destroy the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s and revive {{Steven}}, {{adv|Norman}}, and [[Courtney]], who had died during the conflict involving {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, before returning to the wild.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Celebi SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When a {{i|Poké Ball}} is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
* Unlock all 25 characters
* Unlock all 29 stages
* Beat all 51 events
* Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)

It does not affect the battle, but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

====Trophy information====
''"Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 492 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops collectible items; in Celebi's case, it drops trophies.

====Trophy information====
''"A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its {{m|Future Sight}} move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon."''

Celebi appears as a trophy in the 3DS version only.

====Trophy information====
''This Pokémon has the unique ability to travel through time to the past or future. However, the only times Celebi wants to visit are those of peace, so catching sight of Celebi in one of the beautiful forests it frequents is a good sign indeed. Perhaps it's mankind's responsibility to create the kind of time Celebi would want to visit.''

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

==Trivia==
* According to a now-dead Nintendo of Japan page from the early 2000s, Celebi's Japanese name was initially romanized as ''Selbi'' as opposed to the later ''Celebi''.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n07/selbi/ Nintendo of Japan page]{{dead link}}</ref><ref>[http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/forum/tuff/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=001003 The Azure Heights Forum: How to get Serebii] (thread from March 2001, containing a link to the aforementioned Nintendo of Japan page)</ref>
* Celebi is the only Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
* Celebi is the only Pokémon whose number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] are the same: 251.
* After {{p|Deoxys}}, Celebi is the second [[Mythical Pokémon]] to become legitimately available in-game without any sort of event or distribution, this time in the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].
** Celebi is currently the only Mythical Pokémon with this distinction that is not available in-game without any sort of event or distribution on the [[Nintendo Switch]].
* Celebi and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} unable to have the game's corresponding [[origin mark]].
* The {{Shiny}} {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} is referred to as a female during the story, although it is gender unknown for gameplay purposes.
** Also, this Celebi is the first [[Shiny Pokémon]] to appear in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]].
** A different non-Shiny Celebi appears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, who is referred to as a male.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Celebi is the only obtainable Shiny Pokémon that does not appear as a Strong Foe; it is instead found in a Mystery House.
* Celebi is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]] that wasn't used in [[Pokérap GS]].
** However, it was used in the [[Hoenn Pokérap]] along with {{p|Mew}}, another Pokémon that wasn't used in [[Kanto Pokérap|its own generation's Pokérap]].
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea was shelved, however, when {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} was decided to be the star of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.
* Celebi was the first event-exclusive Pokémon to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} outside of a {{pkmn|movie}}.
* Celebi is the first Mythical Pokémon to have been {{pkmn2|caught}} in the animated series.
* [[Dada]] {{p|Zarude}} wears a purple scarf with Celebi's [[National Pokédex]] number.

===Concept and development===
Celebi was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>

===Cultural impact===
In 2002, the country of {{wp|Niue}} issued a $10 commemorative Pokémon {{wp|silver}} coin featuring Celebi on one side and the national coat of arms on the other.<ref name=PCGSNiueSilver>[https://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail/silver-coinage-dollars/196330?sn=1011053&p=PR&ccid=196330 PCGS Population Report - Niue Silver Coinage, Dollars]</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Celebi was featured as a compass in the [[2003 Wendy's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Celebi has a natural theme.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2010/07/index.html "HIDDEN POWER of masuda" Director's Columns, No.164] (July 12, 2010)</ref> Specifically, it might be related to the natural worship of {{wp|Shinto}}ism. It also may be based on a {{wp|fairy}}, {{wp|dryad}}, or {{wp|Kodama (spirit)|kodama}}, mixed with a plant {{wp|bulb}}.

Celebi's beta designs, and to a lesser extent its final design, appear to draw inspiration from {{wp|Kokopelli}}, a god of fertility and music from the cultures of some southwestern Native American peoples.

====Name origin====
Celebi may be a combination of [[wiktionary:精霊#Japanese|精霊]] ''seirei'' ({{wp|Spirit (supernatural entity)|spirit}}), ''{{wp|Ceres (mythology)|Ceres}}'' (Roman goddess of fertility), ''[[wiktionary:celebrate#English|celebrate]]'' or ''[[wiktionary:celestial#English|celestial]]'', ''[[wiktionary:serenity|serenity]]'', and [[wiktionary:美#Japanese|美]] ''bi'' (beauty) or ''[[wiktionary:being#Noun|being]]''. In addition, “{{wp|çelebi|çelebi}}” is a Turkish word used in the Ottoman Empire that roughly translates to “gentleman” or “man of God.” It was a title used for certain distinguished individuals such as princes and scholars.

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

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

==Biology==
Ivysaur is a quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has blue-green skin with darker patches. On top of its head are pointed ears with black insides, and it has narrow red eyes. Ivysaur has a short, rounded snout with a wide mouth and two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. Each of its feet has three claws on them. The bulb on its back has bloomed into a giant pink bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud.

The weight of the plant prevents Ivysaur from running fast and standing on its hind legs, forcing its legs to grow sturdy. When its flower is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, 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 is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Ivysaur is known to sleep in sunny spots while undergoing its photosynthesis process. Researchers cannot decide if it is awake or asleep during this process.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Ivysaur evolves from {{p|Bulbasaur}} and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}}.

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

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Ivysaur anime.png|thumb|250px|Ivysaur in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Shauna's Ivysaur]]=====
{{an|Shauna}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved into an Ivysaur in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', multiple Ivysaur evolved from a group of Bulbasaur during an Evolution ceremony at the [[Mysterious Garden]].

In ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', [[Assunta]]'s Ivysaur battled and defeated [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky|Pikachu]] in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', {{OBP|Crystal|HS15}}'s Ivysaur was used to attack [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]], and their Pokémon as they were trying to steal an {{p|Aerodactyl}} on [[Sayda Island]]. With Ivysaur's assistance, Aerodactyl was able to send Butch and Cassidy blasting off.

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}}'s Ivysaur was targeted by {{TRT}} in one of their schemes, but it was rescued by Jimmy's newly evolved {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Ivysaur and Bulbasaur traveled to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} that was under construction in [[Vermilion City]]. Ash and [[Goh]], who were investigating the [[mass outbreak]], followed them to the Gym and realized the Ivysaur needed to go there to absorb the sunlight necessary to evolve into Venusaur. The Seed Pokémon eventually accomplished this task. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

====Minor appearances====

====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.

==Merchandise==
Ivysaur was featured as:
* the Ivysaur Squirter and as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card in the [[1998 KFC promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Ivysaur is intentionally referred to as "Ivyssauro", despite its name still maintaining the English spelling in written media. The same is true for its evolutionary relatives.
* Ivysaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolutionary relatives and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Ivysaur's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 002.
* Ivysaur's evolutionary line is the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to be {{type|Poison}}.
** Ivysaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
*** In addition, Ivysaur is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Super Smash Bros. series that {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} uses that does not know an HM move; {{p|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Waterfall}}, while {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage form of a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon that does not require an [[Evolution stone]] to reach its final form.
** Ivysaur is also the only second stage form of [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] that evolves at level 32. {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Wartortle}} evolve at level 36.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an Ivysaur with an English name couldn't be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}} prior to the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]'s shutdown.
* Ivysaur is never seen losing a battle on-screen in any animated media.

===Origin===
Ivysaur's [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] is inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Of its evolutionary line, Ivysaur was the first to be created, years before Bulbasaur, Venusaur or the concept of [[Evolution]] was conceived, as it was one of the original monsters created for the [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue#Capsule_Monster_Pitch Prerelease:Pokémon Red and Blue - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> Venusaur and Bulbasaur's designs were created afterward; the latter was created by [[Atsuko Nishida]] by basing it off of Venusaur.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu />

The bud on its back resembles a ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'' flower, and the leaves around the bud resemble {{wp|Arecaceae|palms}}.

====Name origin====
Ivysaur may be a combination of ''{{wp|ivy}}'' (woody climbing or trailing plant genus) and ''{{wp|dinosaur}}'' or ''[[Wiktionary:-saurus|‑saurus]]'' (common suffix used in the names of extinct reptilian creatures, derived from the Ancient Greek word for {{wp|lizard}}), and may also incorporate ''{{wp|poison ivy}}'' (referring to its Grass/Poison-type designation).

Fushigisou may be a combination of {{wp|wiktionary:不思議|不思議}} ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and {{wp|wiktionary:草#Japanese|草}} ''sō'' (grass), as well as a pun of the phrase 不思議そう ''Fushigi sō'' ("It seems strange").

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur has two forms:
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Venusaur''' using the [[Venusaurite]]. Mega Venusaur was introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Venusaur''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Venusaur is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green Version}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon LeafGreen Version}}, appearing on the box art of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Erika Venusaur bulb closed PM.png|thumb|200px|left|Venusaur with its leaves closed]]
Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four 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 into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant along with a nutritious diet. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions and can heal the [[human]] heart. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead [[Evolution]] ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Venusaur has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.

====Mega Venusaur====
Mega Venusaur's flower grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

Mega Venusaur's legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower, and its increased defenses allow it to withstand just about any attack.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur Mega Venusaur | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur archived])</ref><ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=in%20the%20game.-,Mega%20Venusaur,-When%20Venusaur%20Mega Mega Venusaur | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> It can create brambles from its flower which can absorb energy from to heal itself, fire a light beam attack after charging, and form a poisonous circle around itself to attack foes.{{fact}}

====Gigantamax Venusaur====
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Venusaur is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Venusaur]]=====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the series. She was briefly seen facing off against a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s {{p|Marill}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of an Evolution ceremony for Bulbasaur at the [[Mysterious Garden]]. It appeared again in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', during a flashback.

A Venusaur [[nickname]]d Bruteroot appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Corey]]. It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Venusaur was used in a battle against [[Ash's Tauros]], and it lost to Tauros's {{m|Take Down}} attack.

In ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]'', a Venusaur was the longtime friend of [[Gan Gogh]]. He used it to battle Team Rocket.

In ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}}'s Venusaur was used during the second half of the {{ka|Silver Town}} [[Pokémon Contest]]. Jeremy's Venusaur, which knew {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, came very close to defeating [[May's Combusken]], but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.

[[Spenser]] has a Venusaur that first appeared in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away a furious {{p|Beedrill}} swarm.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', [[Nihei]]'s male Venusaur appeared in a fantasy. He made his physical debut in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'' at [[Ninja Village]].

In ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and was able to defeat a {{p|Gengar}}.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mega Venusaur was one of the ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon that [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} had to defeat. It was Alain's first opponent, putting up a tough match, but was eventually defeated.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s male Venusaur was the third Pokémon he used in his [[Full Battle]] against Ash. He went up against {{AP|Rowlet}}, defeating it before losing to {{AP|Torracat}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, which was under construction in [[Vermilion City]], during a [[mass outbreak]], so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the Evolution process.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusory Venusaur to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusory {{p|Blastoise}} to create a {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Venustoise}}, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur to the point where they did not want to battle anymore.

Venusaur made its physical debut in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Venusaur sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', a Venusaur was working out in the [[Kumquat Gym]]. However, this scene was removed from the dub due to the appearance of {{p|Jynx}}.

In ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', a Venusaur was seen in a field of flowers. It tried to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on [[Misty's Togepi]], but a {{p|Houndoom}} blocked the attack, causing itself to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}.

''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.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Venusaur is briefly mentioned in Ivysaur's trophy description.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Mega_Venusaur_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mega Venusaur trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Mega Venusaur appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====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!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Venusaur reprises its role as a stage element in the returning {{st|Saffron City}}. It is also a {{sbw|Spirit}}. Its Spirit Battle is against a giant {{SSB|Ivysaur}} on {{sbw|Garden of Hope}}, which has a poisonous floor.

==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Venusaur appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Merchandise==
[[File:Venusaur Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
Venusaur appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the rook piece in chess.

Venusaur was featured as:
* a launcher in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* a promotional toy in the [[2013 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* a rock-paper-scissors PokéBall launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Venusaur is intentionally referred to as "Venussauro", despite its name still maintaining the English spelling in written media. The same is true for its pre-evolved forms.
* Venusaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its pre-evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Venusaur's evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to have the {{t|Poison}} type.
** Venusaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
* Venusaur is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have [[gender differences]].
* Venusaur shares its height (6'7"/2.0 m), weight (220.5 lbs./100.0 kg) and Egg Groups (Monster and Grass), with another {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Tropius}}.
* If the {{player}} chooses {{p|Charmander}} as their first partner Pokémon in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, or locks themselves out of receiving {{p|Bulbasaur}} in {{game|Yellow}}, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the [[Pokédex]] without [[trade|trading]], as no NPC in said games uses a Venusaur except the rival if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur in Knockout Mode at the [[Trainer Tower]].
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], a Venusaur with an English name could not be [[trade]]d on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur is the only Pokémon to be a [[Game mascot|mascot]] for a {{game|Red and Green|s|Japan-exclusive}} [[core series|core game]].
* In {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Nihei]] and Venusaur from [[Ninja Village]] might be a reference to {{wp|Jiraiya}}, a frog-riding figure in {{wp|Japanese folktales|Japanese folklore}}.
* Venusaur is among [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon. However, it is also his least favorite Pokémon to draw due to its complex design.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html</ref>

===Concept and development===
[[File:Early Ivysaur.png|thumb|150px|Venusaur sprite from Capsule Monsters]]
An early design of Venusaur was shown in the original [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch to [[Nintendo]].<ref>https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/</ref> However, it had Ivysaur's final index number and name, フシギソウ.

===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-Evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" 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 may be a combination of ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus flytrap}} plant) or ''{{wp|venom}}'' and ''{{wp|dinosaur}}'' or ''[[Wiktionary:-saurus|‑saurus]]'' (common suffix used in the names of extinct reptilian creatures, derived from the Ancient Greek word for {{wp|lizard}}).

Fushigibana may be a combination of {{wp|wiktionary:不思議|不思議}} ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and {{wp|wiktionary:花#Japanese|花}} ''hana'' (flower).

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Ampharos''' using the [[Ampharosite]].

==Biology==
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, though it can also be found in farms alongside its pre-evolved forms {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, the tail light of a sleeping Ampharos can sometimes seen in the distance at night.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This is due to Ampharos forgetting to turn its tail light off before going to sleep.

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

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos, its toes turn black and it regrows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail, having its genes stimulated by Mega Evolution. This energy also awakens its long-dormant dragon blood. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes but are now segmented with swirled tips. When it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> Mega Ampharos can generate an electric barrier for defense, shocking anyone caught within it. Additionally, it can create electric spots on the ground that, along with lightning attacks, release orbs that explode over time.

* Ampharos shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.
* Mega Ampharos is the only {{type|Electric}} Mega-Evolved Pokémon to be dual-typed.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Official Pokemon Fanbook 1997 Ampharos Sprite.png|thumb|150px|[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early design]] of Ampharos]]
An early Ampharos design from 1997, when {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were in development for the original [[Game Boy]], depicts it with a shorter neck and two rings around its neck instead of three. Its two-tone color palette reflects the original Game Boy's hardware limitations.

[[File:Spr 2d 165.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Ampharos]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Ampharos appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Denryū'' (デンリュウ). It was similar to its final design, though its sprite was redrawn for the final games.

===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolutionary line leads up to as they lose wool with each [[Evolution]]. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes, and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolved forms, may have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos's {{t|Dragon}} type, wooly mane, wooly tail, jewel-like orbs on its tail, and slender body suggests that it may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Ampharos may be a combination of ''{{wp|ampere|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and ''[[wiktionary:pharos#English|pharos]]'' ({{wp|lighthouse|lighthouse}}), as well as ''[[wiktionary:amparo|amparo]]'' (Portuguese and Spanish for ''aid'' and ''protection'').

Denryu may be derived from [[wiktionary:電流#Japanese|電流]] ''denryū'' (electric current), as well as forming a pun on [[wiktionary:電#Japanese|電]][[wiktionary:竜#Japanese|竜]] ''den ryū'' (electric {{wp|dragon#Japan|dragon}}). It may also incorporate [[wiktionary:電球#Japanese|電球]] ''denkyū'' ({{wp|light bulb|light bulb}}), referring to its tail.

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

Ampharos can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Ampharos''' using the [[Ampharosite]].

==Biology==
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, though it can also be found in farms alongside its pre-evolved forms {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, the tail light of a sleeping Ampharos can sometimes seen in the distance at night.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This is due to Ampharos forgetting to turn its tail light off before going to sleep.

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

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos, its toes turn black and it regrows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail, having its genes stimulated by Mega Evolution. This energy also awakens its long-dormant dragon blood. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes but are now segmented with swirled tips. When it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> Mega Ampharos can generate an electric barrier for defense, shocking anyone caught within it. Additionally, it can create electric spots on the ground that, along with lightning attacks, release orbs that explode over time.

* Ampharos shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.
* Mega Ampharos is the only {{type|Electric}} Mega-Evolved Pokémon to be dual-typed.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Official Pokemon Fanbook 1997 Ampharos Sprite.png|thumb|150px|[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early design]] of Ampharos]]
An early Ampharos design from 1997, when {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were in development for the original [[Game Boy]], depicts it with a shorter neck and two rings around its neck instead of three. Its two-tone color palette reflects the original Game Boy's hardware limitations.

[[File:Spr 2d 165.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Ampharos]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Ampharos appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Denryū'' (デンリュウ). It was similar to its final design, though its sprite was redrawn for the final games.

===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolutionary line leads up to as they lose wool with each [[Evolution]]. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes, and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolved forms, may have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Ampharos's {{t|Dragon}} type, wooly mane, wooly tail, jewel-like orbs on its tail, and slender body suggests that it may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Ampharos may be a combination of ''{{wp|ampere|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and [[wiktionary:φάρος#Greek|φάρος]] ''pháros'' (Greek for "lighthouse"), as well as ''[[wiktionary:amparo|amparo]]'' (Portuguese and Spanish for ''aid'' and ''protection'').

Denryu may be derived from [[wiktionary:電流#Japanese|電流]] ''denryū'' (electric current), as well as forming a pun on [[wiktionary:電#Japanese|電]][[wiktionary:竜#Japanese|竜]] ''den ryū'' (electric {{wp|dragon#Japan|dragon}}). It may also incorporate [[wiktionary:電球#Japanese|電球]] ''denkyū'' ({{wp|light bulb|light bulb}}), referring to its tail.

'''Flaaffy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モココ''' ''Mokoko'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mareep}} starting at [[level]] 15 and evolves into {{p|Ampharos}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Flaaffy is a pink, bipedal, {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has thick, conical ears with black stripes on the sides of its head and small, blue eyes. A white mane of wool covers its head and upper body. This mane forms sideways curls on the top of its head. It has stubby arms and one nail on each foot. Flaaffy's long tail has black stripes and is tipped with a blue orb.

Storing too much electricity caused Flaaffy to lose the wool over most of its body, but the bare, rubbery skin protects it from the electricity stored in its fleece. The quality of Flaaffy's fleece can change to generate more electricity with less wool. The orb will light up when Flaaffy's mane is fully charged, and it can attack by firing electrified hairs at opponents. Flaaffy typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy meadows and fields}}, though it can also be found in farms, where its wool is used to create high-quality clothing. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, on rare occasions a sleeping Flaaffy's tail can be seen lighting up after being fully charged.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Flaaffy evolves from {{p|Mareep}} and evolves into {{p|Ampharos}}.

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

==Trivia==

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 164.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Flaaffy]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Flaaffy appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Mokoko'' (モココ).

===Origin===
Flaaffy appears to be based on a {{wp|sheep}} with patchy wool. Its type and [[Ability]] may refer to how wool builds up static charges. Its evolutionary line may also have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

====Name origin====
Flaaffy may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:fluffy|fluffy]]'' and ''[[wiktionary:baa#English|baa]]'' (the sound {{wp|sheep}} make). ''Aa'' may also be a reference to an {{wp|AA battery}}, given Flaaffy's {{t|Electric}} type.

Mokoko may derive from [[wiktionary:羊毛#Japanese|羊毛]] ''yōmō'' ({{wp|wool|wool}}) and a corruption of [[wiktionary:もこもこ|もこもこ]] ''mokomoko'' (fluffy).

'''Flaaffy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モココ''' ''Mokoko'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mareep}} starting at [[level]] 15 and evolves into {{p|Ampharos}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Flaaffy is a pink, bipedal, {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has thick, conical ears with black stripes on the sides of its head and small, blue eyes. A white mane of wool covers its head and upper body. This mane forms sideways curls on the top of its head. It has stubby arms and one nail on each foot. Flaaffy's long tail has black stripes and is tipped with a blue orb.

Storing too much electricity caused Flaaffy to lose the wool over most of its body, but the bare, rubbery skin protects it from the electricity stored in its fleece. The quality of Flaaffy's fleece can change to generate more electricity with less wool. The orb will light up when Flaaffy's mane is fully charged, and it can attack by firing electrified hairs at opponents. Flaaffy typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy meadows and fields}}, though it can also be found in farms, where its wool is used to create high-quality clothing. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, on rare occasions a sleeping Flaaffy's tail can be seen lighting up after being fully charged.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Flaaffy evolves from {{p|Mareep}} and evolves into {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 164.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Flaaffy]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Flaaffy appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Mokoko'' (モココ).

===Origin===
Flaaffy appears to be based on a {{wp|sheep}} with patchy wool. Its type and [[Ability]] may refer to how wool builds up static charges. Its evolutionary line may also have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

====Name origin====
Flaaffy may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:fluffy|fluffy]]'' and ''[[wiktionary:baa#English|baa]]'' (the sound {{wp|sheep}} make). ''Aa'' may also be a reference to an {{wp|AA battery}}, given Flaaffy's {{t|Electric}} type.

Mokoko may derive from [[wiktionary:羊毛|羊毛]] ''yōmō'' ({{wp|wool|wool}}) and a corruption of [[wiktionary:もこもこ|もこもこ]] ''mokomoko'' (fluffy).

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Feraligatr''' using the [[Feraligite]]. Mega Feraligatr was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0160-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Feraligatr sleeps with one eye open]]
Feraligatr is a bulky, bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue scales. It has large, powerful jaws lined with several sharp fangs. Three teeth are visible when its jaws are closed: two in its lower jaw and one in its upper jaw. Its eyes are red with black markings around them and ridges above them and its lower jaw is yellow. There are three red spines on its body, each with three points: one on top of its head, one between its shoulders, and one near the tip of its tail. There are also several groups of large, rectangular scales on its arms, knees, tail, and waist. Its back is slightly hunched with ridges behind the shoulders and hips. On its lower body is a yellow V-shaped marking that extends up to its thighs; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Its arms have five clawed fingers each, and its feet three clawed toes.

Feraligatr opens its powerful jaws to intimidate its foes and viciously shakes its head once it clamps down on foes or prey. Because it has difficulty supporting its weight out of the water, it has been known to move on all fours. However, when hunting or fighting, it is agile and fast, due to its powerful hind legs. Feraligatr can rarely be found living near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|the water's edge}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. As Feraligatr sleeps, it constantly keeps watch on its surroundings; it will immediately charge towards threats should it sense any.

[[File:Mega Feraligatr Totodile Mask.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Feraligatr's Totodile mask]]
Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Feraligatr.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Feraligatr's dorsal fin has grown gigantic and transformed into a dark red, hoodlike structure with a serrated edge. On either side of its dorsal fin, there is a false red eye with black sclera debossed into the surface. Notably, it now resembles a {{p|Totodile}}'s head, which led some people to call it a "Totodile mask".<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Feraligatr | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The rectangular scales spread throughout Feraligatr's body have all changed in some way: the ones on its arms and tail became covered by a dark red and blue-gray spike each, respectively; the ones on its shoulders and knees have simply changed to a blue-gray color, as did its four sets of claws; and the ones on its waist completely transformed into dark red, arm-like fins with a small nub near the end. The yellow V-shaped split marking has moved upward in Mega Feraligatr's body, with a new V-shaped, continuous blue-gray plate on its place. It now has three dark red ridges running down its back, with the one on the center ending in a large spike, and a singular spike at the end of its tail.

Mega Feraligatr uses its gigantic dorsal fin in tandem with its arm spikes in order to create a massive false jaw, which possesses a bite force that is ten times stronger than its actual jaws and is even able to crunch objects larger than its actual jaws. In order to accomplish this, it clasps its hands together to form the mandible and lowers the Totodile mask to act as the maxilla; when doing so, the center of its false eyes glow white, resembling pupils. Mega Feraligatr's dorsal fin has other purposes: it protects its head from incoming physical attacks and helps it dissipate the excess body heat generated by Mega Evolution. While the reason why its dorsal fin resembles a Totodile's head is still unknown, it has been theorized that it could be to restore the optimized biting power it had as a Totodile.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Feraligatr is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dragonize}} as an [[Ability]].

===Origin===
Feraligatr appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. It visually resembles an {{wp|alligator}}. The yellow marking on its belly might be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Feraligatr's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}} which may allude to Feraligatr's boisterous personality.

Mega Feraligatr's appearance when closing its external "jaw" is similar to that of its pre-Evolution {{p|Totodile}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Feraligatr's ability to change into a Totodile-like form may be a reference to {{wp|Category:Transforming toys|transforming toy}}s. The enlarged, Totodile-shaped dorsal fin resembles the "[[Wiktionary:kibble#Etymology 4|kibble]]" parts found on such toys, or the headpiece of a {{wp|Costume#Mascots|mascot costume}}. It may also reference the behavior of certain crocodile species that carry their young within their jaws, although in this case the imagery is inverted, since the Totodile-shaped dorsal fin encloses Feraligatr’s own head. Together with Mega Feraligatr's secondary {{type|Dragon}}, its Totodile mask gimmick may also be a reference to {{p|Regidrago}} and its ability to similarly transform into a dragon head, with its ability of {{a|Dragonize}} being similar to Regidrago's [[signature ability]], {{a|Dragon's Maw}}.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr may be a combination of ''{{wp|feral|feral}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:ferocious|ferocious]]'' and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. The shortening of "gator" into ''gatr'' may be a result of the ten-character limit on English Pokémon names in [[Generation II]].

Ordile may be a combination of [[wiktionary:王#Etymology 1 2|王]] ''ō'' (king), [[wiktionary:皇#Japanese|皇]] ''ō'' (emperor), or [[wiktionary:大#Japanese|大]] ''ō'' (large), and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Totodile is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside Chikorita and {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0158-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile sleeps with one eye open]]
Totodile is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with well-developed jaws. It has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. On its chest is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Totodile has five fingers and three toes. Down its back is a row of three red spines with a small, red ridge on either side. The tip of its tail has a single red spine as well.

Totodile tends to be both playful and rough by nature and has a habit of biting anything it sees, including its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Despite its size, Totodile's jaws are capable of crushing anything, so it sometimes causes serious injuries. Turning one's back on Totodile is considered to be a bad idea as it can bite without warning. Totodile are scarce in the wild, though it can be found around bodies of water like {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|rivers, ponds, and lakes}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Totodile and its Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. This practice is hypothesized to be a defense mechanism against enemy attacks.

{{adv|Silver}} stole a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab in ''[[PS093|Sneasel Sneak Attack]]'', though it first appeared in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]''. He was then able to evolve into a Croconaw after destroying a built-in iron ball trap with [[Exbo]]'s help, but being left in a coma after his Trainer and {{adv|Gold}}'s defeat against the [[Masked Man]] left him unable to evolve until the fight with an outraged {{p|Lugia}} enticed all three of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] to evolve.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Totodile was the only Generation II first partner Pokémon to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.

====Melee trophy information====
''"Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}."''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw."''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Totodile appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
===Merchandise===
* Totodile was featured as a toy with a flapping mouth in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Totodile was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Totodile appears to be based on a baby {{wp|Crocodilia|crocodilian}}. The yellow marking on its chest may be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Totodile and its [[Evolution]]s are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Totodile's back is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Totodile's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Totodile may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:tot#Noun|tot]]'' (small child) and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waninoko may be taken to mean [[wiktionary:鰐#Japanese|鰐]][[wiktionary:の#Etymology 2|の]][[wiktionary:子#Japanese|子]] ''wani no ko'' (child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}).

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Totodile is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside Chikorita and {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0158-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile sleeps with one eye open]]
Totodile is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with well-developed jaws. It has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. On its chest is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Totodile has five fingers and three toes. Down its back is a row of three red spines with a small, red ridge on either side. The tip of its tail has a single red spine as well.

Totodile tends to be both playful and rough by nature and has a habit of biting anything it sees, including its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Despite its size, Totodile's jaws are capable of crushing anything, so it sometimes causes serious injuries. Turning one's back on Totodile is considered to be a bad idea as it can bite without warning. Totodile are scarce in the wild, though it can be found around bodies of water like {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|rivers, ponds, and lakes}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Totodile and its Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. This practice is hypothesized to be a defense mechanism against enemy attacks.

====Melee trophy information====
''"Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}."''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw."''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Totodile appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
===Merchandise===
* Totodile was featured as a toy with a flapping mouth in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Totodile was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Totodile appears to be based on a baby {{wp|Crocodilia|crocodilian}}. The yellow marking on its chest may be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Totodile and its [[Evolution]]s are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Totodile's back is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Totodile's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Totodile may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:tot#Noun|tot]]'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waninoko may be taken to mean [[wiktionary:鰐#Japanese|鰐]][[wiktionary:の#Etymology 2|の]][[wiktionary:子#Japanese|子]] ''wani no ko'' (child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}).

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

In [[Hisui]], Typhlosion has a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion'''. It evolves from Quilava starting at level 36. It is the final form of Cyndaquil in the Hisui region.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Typhlosion.png|thumb|200px|left|Typhlosion without its flames lit]]
Typhlosion is a bulky mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, yet agile body. It is classified as a quadruped, but it is capable of bipedal movement. Most of its body is cream-colored, but its back and the top of its head are a dark green-blue. It has a short, rounded snout and small, triangular eyes and ears. When its mouth is open, its sharp canine teeth and thick tongue are visible. Each of its paws has five digits and there is a coarse, spiky fringe of fur along its rear. Across the back of its neck, several red spots can produce fire.

Typhlosion is capable of making anything go up in flames when angered and creating explosions by rubbing its fur together. The heat it generates when ready for battle creates a shimmering haze that can also be used to hide itself. When fully enraged, anything Typhlosion touches instantly goes up in flames. Though it is rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Typhlosion is known to toss and turn while sleeping. Because this behavior causes its fur to rub together, creating accidental explosions, it is recommended to avoid a sleeping Typhlosion.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
[[File:HisuianTyphlosionVAstralRadiance53.jpg|thumb|150px|Hisuian Typhlosion's ghost flames]]
Typhlosion has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

Hisuian Typhlosion's appearance is believed to have been influenced by the energy emanating from [[Mount Coronet]] at the center of the [[Hisui]] region. Its ears droop beside its head. The fur on its back is a purplish-blue color, and extends to the front of its neck, forming a collar pattern. It has fire-producing spots all around its neck, covering the collar pattern, and these spots produce flames that wisp in a bright magenta red color.

Hisuian Typhlosion has graceful and refined movements, and a gentler, more pacifistic nature compared to Johtonian Typhlosion. It can often be seen staring into space; it is assumed that as Hisuian Typhlosion does this, it looks at the flow of life energy and searches for wayward spirits and lost souls to eat. It is believed that Hisuian Typhlosion purifies spirits with its flames as it eats them before it guides them back to the afterlife where they belong. Despite its peaceful nature, Hisuian Typhlosion can lose control of its emotions when sufficiently angered and can unleash ghost flames that can incinerate its opponents until nothing remains. It can emit a total of 108 ghost flames from the spots on its neck. Once unleashed, every single ghost flame attacks its opponents while taking on the appearance of ferocious beasts.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/typhlosion/ Hisuian Typhlosion | Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref>

Hisuian Typhlosion is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Infernal Parade}}.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Typhlosion anime.png|250px|thumb|Typhlosion in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]=====
Typhlosion debuted in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where it was {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'', [[Mr. Moore]] sent out a Typhlosion to stop {{TRT}} from making off with [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Torkoal}}.

====Minor appearances====
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', where the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent one to a student for use during a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{p|Feraligatr}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Typhlosion was among the Pokémon that could be caught during the [[Pokémon Catch Race]]. Another was seen during a flashback.

A Trainer's Typhlosion appeared in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]''.

A Trainer's Typhlosion appeared in ''[[HZ130|Hamber's Moonlight Battle]]'', during a fantasy.

===GOTCHA!===
A Typhlosion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of {{ga|Silver}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Exbo.png|thumb|220px|Typhlosion in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Exbo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava, [[nickname]]d Exbo, evolved into a Typhlosion in ''[[PS148|Lively Lugia (Part 3)]]'' to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}. Afterwards, his larger size allowed him to be a method of faster travel (akin to Crystal's [[Archy|Arcanine]]), and with his increased power allowed Gold to hold his own and even overpower the [[Masked Man]].

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', under the ownership of [[Ultima]]. He was first seen displaying his {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] alongside her {{p|Meganium}} and his {{a|Overgrow}} Ability. However, this act damaged much of the surrounding landscape, as well as a large portion of the ship nearby, earning the old woman much ire.

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
A Typhlosion appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[File:UNITE Typhlosion.png|200px|thumb|Typhlosion in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Typhlosion (UNITE)}}

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Johtonian Typhlosion shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Additionally, they are all capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}'s internal code, Hisuian Typhlosion's Hidden Ability is {{a|Flash Fire}} instead of {{a|Frisk}}.
* Typhlosion is the only fully evolved form of one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] to have a [[regional form]] as opposed to a [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved form]].
* Johtonian Typhlosion and {{p|Charizard}}, along with their respective evolutionary lines, have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Typhlosion and {{p|Togetic}} are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation II]] not to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} until the next [[generation]].

===Origin===
Typhlosion's body shape is similar to that of animals of the {{wp|Mustelidae}} family, particularly {{wp|badger}}s, while the flames on its body closely resemble the quills found in {{wp|porcupine}}s, {{Wp|hedgehog}}s, and {{Wp|echidna}}s. It may also be based on volcanoes, which is reflected in its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], triangular volcano-like shape while standing up, and the ability to learn {{m|Smokescreen}} and {{m|Eruption}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Mujina}}, a shapeshifting yokai occasionally described as resembling a badger, with similar abilities to that of a {{wp|Bake-danuki|Tanuki}} (and occasionally identified as being or confused with the mythological tanuki). Mujina are able to summon ghost-fire called ''tanuki-bi'' (狸火), resembling will-o-wisps. Hisuian Typhlosion's design and Fire/Ghost typing may be based on the ''tanuki-bi'' of Mujina.

Hisuian Typhlosion appears to be based on {{wp|psychopomp}} figures, common in many mythologies. More specifically, it may be based on {{wp|Kamuy-huci}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} goddess of fire and the hearth, whose fire is said to act as a gateway between the human world and the spirit world. The ghost flames on its neck are reminiscent of a necklace of {{wp|magatama}} beads, which are associated with various spiritual beliefs, including the ancient Japanese practice of burying them in graves along with the deceased as offerings for the gods. Like {{p|Spiritomb}}, the specific amount of its ghost flames, {{wp|108 (number)|108}}, is considered sacred in Buddhist numerology and coincides with the number of beads in a {{wp|Japamala}}. Hisuian Typhlosion's coloration may be a reference to Johtonian Typhlosion's {{Shiny}} coloration in [[Generation II]]; conversely, Hisuian Typhlosion's Shiny coloration is similar to Johtonian Typhlosion's normal one.

====Name origin====
Typhlosion may be a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. It could also derive from ''{{wp|Typhon}}'', a monster in Greek mythology who was said to be buried under the volcano {{wp|Mount Etna}} after his defeat and who also had a mate named {{wp|Echidna (mythology)|Echidna}}; or ''{{wp|Eulipotyphla}}'', a mammalian order containing shrews, hedgehogs, moles, and solenodons.

Bakphoon may be a combination of [[wiktionary:爆風#Japanese|爆風]] ''bakufū'' (blast from an explosion) and ''typhoon''.

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14 and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long and slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. When exposed to the mysterious energy of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], Quilava's Evolution is altered, gaining it the {{t|Ghost}} type as it becomes Hisuian {{p|Typhlosion}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Quilava evolves from {{p|Cyndaquil}} and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

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

====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava after it fought one of {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]]. He later used it during his {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Nando]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against Nando's {{p|Armaldo}}; the battle resulted in a tie.

====[[Jimmy's Quilava]]====
{{jo|Jimmy}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and further into Typhlosion sometime before the events of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
Quilava debuted in ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar!]]'', where Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with one for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against {{OBP|Satchel|EP262}}'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} during their [[Double Battle]] at the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[devolution|devolving]] into Cyndaquil due to {{p|Dialga}}'s influence.

{{main|Quilava (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* Quilava, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

===Concept and development===
Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because [[Nintendo]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1431127202876194816 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 27, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1501389663814098956 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on March 9, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to that of animals in the {{wp|Cuniculidae}} family, particularly due to the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites, as well as those of a [[wp:Lowland streaked tenrec|lowland streaked tenrec]]. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and {{m|Eruption}}.

====Name origin====
Quilava may be a combination of ''{{wp|Porcupine#Quills|quill}}'' (porcupine's needle) and ''{{wp|lava|lava}}'' (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:マグマ|マグマ]]'' ''maguma'' ({{wp|magma|magma}}), [[wiktionary:穴熊|穴熊]] ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}) and [[wiktionary:ヤマアラシ|ヤマアラシ]] (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14 and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long and slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. When exposed to the mysterious energy of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], Quilava's Evolution is altered, gaining it the {{t|Ghost}} type as it becomes Hisuian {{p|Typhlosion}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Quilava evolves from {{p|Cyndaquil}} and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava after it fought one of {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]]. He later used it during his {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Nando]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against Nando's {{p|Armaldo}}; the battle resulted in a tie.

====[[Jimmy's Quilava]]====
{{jo|Jimmy}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and further into Typhlosion sometime before the events of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
Quilava debuted in ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar!]]'', where Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with one for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against {{OBP|Satchel|EP262}}'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} during their [[Double Battle]] at the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[devolution|devolving]] into Cyndaquil due to {{p|Dialga}}'s influence.

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

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* Quilava, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

===Concept and development===
Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because [[Nintendo]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1431127202876194816 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 27, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1501389663814098956 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on March 9, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to that of animals in the {{wp|Cuniculidae}} family, particularly due to the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites, as well as those of a [[wp:Lowland streaked tenrec|lowland streaked tenrec]]. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and {{m|Eruption}}.

====Name origin====
Quilava may be a combination of ''{{wp|Porcupine#Quills|quill}}'' (porcupine's needle) and ''{{wp|lava|lava}}'' (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi may be a combination of ''magma'', [[wiktionary:穴熊#Japanese|穴熊]] ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}) and [[wiktionary:ヤマアラシ|ヤマアラシ]] (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quilava}} starting at level 14, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hisui]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is timid by nature and often curls into a ball when threatened. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.
{{left clear}}

===Evolution===
Cyndaquil evolves into {{p|Quilava}}, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

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

==In the TFG==
One Cyndaquil figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Cyndaquil|5}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Cyndaquil will aim a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that Trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil is the only first partner Pokémon of Johto that is not one of the [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, instead being replaced by {{p|Tepig}}.
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This may [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki]]'s Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of the ''[[Beyond the Pokédex]]'' series.

===Design variations===
The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the rest of the game (most noticeably in its eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.

===Merchandise===
* Cyndaquil was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Cyndaquil appears to be based on an {{wp|echidna}} with traits of {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called {{jwp|火鼠|Hinezumi}}, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Cyndaquil may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:cinder|cinder]]'' (ashes) and ''{{wp|Porcupine#Quills|quill}}'' (porcupine's needle).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of [[wiktionary:火#Japanese|火]] ''hi'' (fire) and [[wiktionary:ヤマアラシ|ヤマアラシ]] (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 ''hi no arashi'' (storm of fire).

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14 and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long and slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. When exposed to the mysterious energy of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], Quilava's Evolution is altered, gaining it the {{t|Ghost}} type as it becomes Hisuian {{p|Typhlosion}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Quilava evolves from {{p|Cyndaquil}} and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

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

====[[Jimmy's Quilava]]====
{{jo|Jimmy}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and further into Typhlosion sometime before the events of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
Quilava debuted in ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar!]]'', where Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with one for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against {{OBP|Satchel|EP262}}'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[devolution|devolving]] into Cyndaquil due to {{p|Dialga}}'s influence.

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

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* Quilava, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

===Concept and development===
Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because [[Nintendo]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1431127202876194816 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 27, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1501389663814098956 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on March 9, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to that of animals in the {{wp|Cuniculidae}} family, particularly due to the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites, as well as those of a [[wp:Lowland streaked tenrec|lowland streaked tenrec]]. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and {{m|Eruption}}.

====Name origin====
Quilava may be a combination of ''{{wp|Porcupine#Quills|quill}}'' (a needle-like hair) and ''{{wp|lava|lava}}'' (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi may be a combination of ''magma'', [[wiktionary:穴熊#Japanese|穴熊]] ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}) and [[wiktionary:ヤマアラシ|ヤマアラシ]] (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quilava}} starting at level 14, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hisui]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is timid by nature and often curls into a ball when threatened. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.
{{left clear}}

===Evolution===
Cyndaquil evolves into {{p|Quilava}}, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

During its early days on Ash's [[Party|team]], Cyndaquil would easily become tired out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Cyndaquil|5}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Cyndaquil will aim a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that Trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil is the only first partner Pokémon of Johto that is not one of the [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, instead being replaced by {{p|Tepig}}.
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This may [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki]]'s Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of the ''[[Beyond the Pokédex]]'' series.

===Design variations===
The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the rest of the game (most noticeably in its eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.

===Merchandise===
* Cyndaquil was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Cyndaquil appears to be based on an {{wp|echidna}} with traits of {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called {{jwp|火鼠|Hinezumi}}, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Cyndaquil may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:cinder|cinder]]'' (ashes) and ''{{wp|Porcupine#Quills|quill}}'' (needle-like hairs).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of [[wiktionary:火#Japanese|火]] ''hi'' (fire) and [[wiktionary:ヤマアラシ|ヤマアラシ]] (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 ''hi no arashi'' (storm of fire).
