{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters}}.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is mostly the same as Gold and Silver with a few changes and included plot elements exclusive to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]. [[Player character|The player]], either {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} begins his journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark Town, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark Town, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.

Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City Gym. He has just been defeated by [[Silver]] and after defeating Li, he gives the player {{m|Flash}}. After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are sacred in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into the [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up that is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. The Day Care functions the same way as in other [[Generation IV|Generation IV games]]. If these Pokémon are [[Egg group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Plain Badge, getting a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be on at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak City, where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}. The player encounters the [[legendary beasts]] in the [[Burned Tower]] and they [[Roaming Pokemon|run off]] around Johto. The player also meets [[Eusine]] who is studying the Burned Tower and takes interest in {{p|Suicune}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the {{p|Magikarp}} in the lake to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}, which caused the effect of the [[Red Gyarados]]. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets and defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket executives}}, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions respectively. The player then is allowed to go through the Ice Path and to Blackthorn City. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and take a test before they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player is given the Master Ball by Elm and is requested to visit the Kimono Girls to prove their worthiness. After defeating the Kimono Girls, the player will either go to the Bell Tower (HeartGold) or the Whirl Islands (SoulSilver) to encounter Ho-oh (HeartGold) or Lugia (SoulSilver). Then the player is allowed to go east of New Bark into Kanto.

From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]] whom the player met at the Lake of Rage, challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===
The player then returns to their bedroom in New Bark Town. They head downstairs and receive a message that Professor Elm has something for them. Returning to his lab the player receives an [[SS Ticket]] for the fast ship [[S.S. Aqua]] departing to the region of [[Kanto]], where many rare Pokémon live. The player boards the ship in Olivine city and is bombarded by a sailor looking for his daughter who got loose on the ship. Searching the whole ship, the player finds a sailor who is angry that his co-worker is asleep on the job. Finding him and challenging him to a battle, he runs out of his cabin to join the mate. The player later finds the missing girl in the bottom of the ship. The girl asks the player to play hide and seek with her. The man from before then finds the girl as she mentions that the player was playing with her. The girl's grandpa thanks the player as the ship arrives at [[Vermillion City]] in Kanto.

Deciding to take on the Gyms of Kanto, the player enters the Gym in Vermillion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{t|Electric}} types, and earning the {{Badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the Gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{t|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{Badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the [[Copycat]] in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll. Going back to Vermillion's [[Pokémon Fan Club]] the player sees the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Lost Item}} and retrieves it bringing it back to the copycat who gives the player a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|pass}} to the Saffron [[Magnet Train]].

The player then travels east of Saffron to [[Celadon City]] and travels to the Gym taking on [[Erika]] and winning the {{Badge|Rainbow}}. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the [[Power Plant]] where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running. Traveling north of Saffron to [[Cerulean City]] the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the Gym. Traveling north onto [[Kanto Route 24|Route 24]] the player finds and battles a [[Team Rocket]] grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknownst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player. The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the Gym and retrieves the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Machine Part}}. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again made up and running.

The player then moves through the [[Rock Tunnel]] arriving at [[Lavender Town]] where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto. Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the power plant. Traveling the length of the [[Silence Bridge]] and [[Kanto Route 13|Routes 13]], [[Kanto Route 14|14]], and [[Kanto Route 15|15]], the player arrives at [[Fuschia City]] and takes on the Gym Leader [[Janine]] who specializes in {{t|Poison}} types winning the {{Badge|Soul}}. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds [[Misty]] with her boyfriend at [[Cerulean Cape]]. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed, a challenger. The player returns to Cerulean Gym and takes on Misty's {{t|Water}} types winning the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

Returning again to Vermillion City, the player recalls the large Pokémon sleeping outside the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] on the eastern edge of town. He/she plays the Poké Flute Station on their radio which awakens and angers the Pokémon, a giant [[Snorlax]]. After capturing, defeating, or running away from it, the player enters and goes through the Diglett's Cave emerging on [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]] just south of [[Pewter City]]. The player goes north to Pewter City and challenges [[Brock]] and his {{t|Rock}} types and earns the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

The player travels south across Route 2 and through [[Viridian Forest]] before arriving at [[Viridian City]] the player continues south to [[Pallet Town]] and the surfs to [[Cinnabar Island]]. There, the player sees [[Blue]] who mentions how the town previously found on the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and that the town's Gym Leader had to relocate his Gym to the nearby [[Seafoam Islands]]. Blue then goes back to his own Gym in Viridian. The player travels east to the Seafoam Islands and find's [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym within the islands and challenges him to earn the {{Badge|Volcano}}.

The player travels back to Viridian City and challenges Blue in his Gym, which does not seem to have any specialty in types, and defeats him to earn the {{Badge|Earth}}. The player goes back to Pallet Town and visits [[Professor Oak]] in his laboratory. Oak sees that the player has earned all of the Gym Badges in Kanto and decides to allow him to enter [[Mt. Silver]], a mountain so dangerous the average Trainer is not allowed to enter it, to challenge {{ga|Red}} who has been the champion of Kanto for three years and trains there constantly. The player goes to Mt. Silver and climbs to the top to find Red training mutely, and challenges him to a battle. After a hard-fought battle, the player defeats Red becoming the new champion of Kanto and Red walks away without saying a word. The credits roll again.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s are redesigned once again. The Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}}s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* The Tin Tower is renamed the [[Bell Tower]].
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] Badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The player can now see how many Kanto Badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto Badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.
* The [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] contains balconies that are used to navigate through the tower. While on the balconies, the overhead viewing angle of the player changes. This is the first such instance of camera angle variation in the main series games and would later be implemented in different variations in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new {{safari|Johto}}, as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Pewter City]] and the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] are open, although there's not much to the Museum of Science and the Bike Shop is packing up.
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.
* The {{rt|23|Kanto}} in Generation II is now a part of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Route 23 no longer exists.

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[version mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the version mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from {{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater|the Dance Theater}} in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theater in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Apricorn Box}}. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.
* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]].
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can allow other Eon Pokémon to be encountered (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[friendship]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from {{tc|Juggler}}s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, where the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|SquirtBottle}} is controlled via the touch screen to water four berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* Passing certain parts in the game can also affect the rematches by improving the team of the Trainers that can be re-battled. By defeating the Elite Four and then after collecting the 16 Badges the Pokémon team of that Trainer are fought at higher levels as long as each rematch phase has been fought at least once.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 Badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to {{game|Crystal}}, the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto, as well as and Kanto.
* The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
* Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
* In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Route]]s {{rtn|4|Kanto}} and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{game|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.
* Any special Pokémon, such as {{p|Sudowoodo}}, can respawn to their specific location after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]] at any time, that is, if the Pokémon are first defeated.
* The ability to decorate your room, a feature introduced in the original Gold and Silver, is absent.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[friendship]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Pokémon outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug-Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Reception==
The games received an 8.5/10 "Great" rating from {{wp|IGN}}<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/143/14348189.html IGN: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>. Pokémon SoulSilver Version received an 87.94% at {{wp|Game Rankings}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960100-pokemon-soulsilver-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, ranking as the 10th best DS game of all time<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, while HeartGold Version received a slightly less 87.83%<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960099-pokemon-heartgold-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon HeartGold Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, also ranking the 6th most popular game, surpassed by {{wp|Super Scribblenauts}}, {{game|Diamond}}, {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|White}}, and {{game|Black}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>.

==Trivia==
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon.
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the first in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the previous paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon following them, such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original {{2v2|Red|Blue}}) to be released in Latin America in Spanish.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type except the {{t|Ground}} type. However, [[Giovanni]], a former Kanto Gym Leader who specialized in the Ground type, appears during a special event and can be battled.

===Errors===
* A typo exists in the script of the English versions. Upon evaluating the [[National Pokédex]] with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught when talking to [[Professor Oak]], he, like in all the other Pokémon games he is in, will congratulate the player. However, in the sentence "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!" of his speech, the lowercase L should be an I instead.
* Another typo exists in {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver; the period at the end is missing. This is not the case in HeartGold.
* {{p|Goldeen}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver states that its speed is 5 knots per hour. A knot isn't a measure of distance, but speed. Thus, knots per hour measures acceleration.
* After receiving the {{Badge|Rising}} from Clair in [[Dragon's Den]], players do not receive [[TM59]] from [[Clair]] on their way out as they normally would, if they use {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}} or an [[Escape Rope]] to leave.

'''Swampert''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラグラージ''' ''Laglarge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swampert has a huge cobalt blue-colored body and massive, three-fingered open palms. Swampert has a wide mouth, and three small pointed protrusions from its upper jaw. Two orange gills protrude from round patches on its cheeks, and two large, semiovular black fins rise from the top of its orange eyes on its head. Swampert's tail fin is huge, broad and black. Swampert's underside has white coloration, and its hands and three-toed feet each have orange, ridged portions.

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

===Special abilities===
Swampert possesses immense physical strength, with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It can apply its strength to its powerful hands to use {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Swampert has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. It, like many Water-type Pokémon, is a fast swimmer and can swim as fast as a jet ski. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-type starter Pokémon), Swampert can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, albeit stronger.

===Behavior===
If Swampert senses a storm approaching, it will protect its seaside nest by piling up boulders. Swampert batters down its foes with a swing of its thick, rock-hard arms. It is territorial and protects its family as much as possible.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Swampert and its evolution family probably live in swamps or other wetlands. Its Pokédex description for FireRed and LeafGreen state that they make nests on beautiful beaches.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
There is a good chance that Swampert eats other Pokémon that live in the swamp lands, like Feebas and Barboach. The parent Swampert of a family may be the ones who hunt, and deliver for their entire family.

==In the anime==
[[File:Tommy Swampert.png|right|thumb|230px|Swampert in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Swampert first appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its Trainer [[Tommy (Hoenn)|Tommy]]. Since then, it has believed that Tommy abandoned him. When {{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}} arrived on the abandoned ship and run into Tommy, they started to get slowly captured by Swampert and trapped in the webbing of his {{p|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, Brock, Tommy, and Pikachu were left. After getting Swampert to remember and tell him that what happened when the ship got caught in the storm wasn't his fault, Tommy ended up reuniting with Swampert.

[[Morrison]] introduced his Swampert to Ash and friends in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

{{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used his Swampert and {{p|Arcanine}} to battle against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Swellow}} in a [[Double Battle]] in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Swampert was shown under the ownership of {{ga|Brendan}} in his cameo appearance in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. This is to keep in theme with the games of the rival's starter Pokémon having a type-advantage over the player's starter Pokémon (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]). It is shown battling against {{mov|Rebecca}}'s {{p|Tyranitar}}.

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

A Swampert is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Swampert appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' where it had an antagonistic role.

==In the manga==
[[File:Zuzu Swampert.png|thumb|130px|{{adv|Ruby}}'s Swampert, [[Zuzu]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Zuzu}}
{{adv|Ruby}}'s Marshtomp evolved into Swampert from its concussive battles throughout the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. With its increased strength and knowledge of the moves {{m|Muddy Water}} and the previously known {{m|Earthquake}}, it proved to be a formidable battler and driving force of the double team of the boy and {{adv|Sapphire}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. It also appeared on Ruby's active team in the {{chap|Emerald}}, but didn't participate in the battle with [[Emerald's Sceptile]].

==Trivia==
* Swampert has the highest [[base stats|base stat total]] of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Swampert and its pre-evolution {{p|Marshtomp}} are the only starter Pokémon to have a 4× weakness against another {{t|Grass|starter type}}.
* Swampert is the only fully evolved {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that does not learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level up as of [[Generation V]], although it can learn it as {{p|Mudkip}} before evolving.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Marshtomp}}, Swampert is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}}, {{wp|axolotl}}, {{wp|mudskipper}}, or {{wp|water monitor}}.

====Name origin====
Swampert may be a combination of ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'', ''expert'', or ''inert''.

Laglarge may be a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'' and ''large'' (referring to its size). It may also involve ''{{wp|lag}}'', as in "to lag behind," due to its size and weight.

'''Swampert''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラグラージ''' ''Laglarge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swampert has a huge cobalt blue-colored body and massive, three-fingered open palms. Swampert has a wide mouth, and three small pointed protrusions from its upper jaw. Two orange gills protrude from round patches on its cheeks, and two large, semiovular black fins rise from the top of its orange eyes on its head. Swampert's tail fin is huge, broad and black. Swampert's underside has white coloration, and its hands and three-toed feet each have orange, ridged portions.

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

===Special abilities===
Swampert possesses immense physical strength, with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It can apply its strength to its powerful hands to use {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Swampert has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. It, like many Water-type Pokémon, is a fast swimmer and can swim as fast as a jet ski. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-type starter Pokémon), Swampert can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, albeit stronger.

===Behavior===
If Swampert senses a storm approaching, it will protect its seaside nest by piling up boulders. Swampert batters down its foes with a swing of its thick, rock-hard arms. It is territorial and protects its family as much as possible.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Swampert and its evolution family probably live in swamps or other wetlands. Its Pokédex description for FireRed and LeafGreen state that they make nests on beautiful beaches.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
There is a good chance that Swampert eats other Pokémon that live in the swamp lands, like Feebas and Barboach. The parent Swampert of a family may be the ones who hunt, and deliver for their entire family.

==In the anime==
[[File:Tommy Swampert.png|right|thumb|230px|Swampert in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Swampert first appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its Trainer [[Tommy (Hoenn)|Tommy]]. Since then, it has believed that Tommy abandoned him. When {{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}} arrived on the abandoned ship and run into Tommy, they started to get slowly captured by Swampert and trapped in the webbing of his {{p|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, Brock, Tommy, and Pikachu were left. After getting Swampert to remember and tell him that what happened when the ship got caught in the storm wasn't his fault, Tommy ended up reuniting with Swampert.

[[Morrison]] introduced his Swampert to Ash and friends in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

{{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used his Swampert and {{p|Arcanine}} to battle against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Swellow}} in a [[Double Battle]] in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Swampert was shown under the ownership of {{ga|Brendan}} in his cameo appearance in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. This is to keep in theme with the games of the rival's starter Pokémon having a type-advantage over the player's starter Pokémon (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]). It is shown battling against {{mov|Rebecca}}'s {{p|Tyranitar}}.

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

A Swampert is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Swampert appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' where it had an antagonistic role.

==In the manga==
[[File:Zuzu Swampert.png|thumb|130px|{{adv|Ruby}}'s Swampert, [[Zuzu]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Zuzu}}
{{adv|Ruby}}'s Marshtomp evolved into Swampert from its concussive battles throughout the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. With its increased strength and knowledge of the moves {{m|Muddy Water}} and the previously known {{m|Earthquake}}, it proved to be a formidable battler and driving force of the double team of the boy and {{adv|Sapphire}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. It also appeared on Ruby's active team in the {{chap|Emerald}}, but didn't participate in the battle with [[Emerald's Sceptile]].

* Swampert and its pre-evolution {{p|Marshtomp}} are the only starter Pokémon to have a 4× weakness against another {{t|Grass|starter type}}.
* Swampert is the only fully evolved {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that does not learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level up as of [[Generation V]], although it can learn it as {{p|Mudkip}} before evolving.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Marshtomp}}, Swampert is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}}, {{wp|axolotl}}, {wp|mudskipper}}, or {{wp|water monitor}}.

====Name origin====
Swampert may be a combination of ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'', ''expert'', or ''inert''.

Laglarge may be a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'' and ''large'' (referring to its size). It may also involve ''{{wp|lag}}'', as in "to lag behind," due to its size and weight.

'''Marshtomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌマクロー''' ''Numacraw'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Marshtomp is a bipedal amphibious creature, mostly light-blue in color with orange and black accentuation. Marshtomp has an angular black fin on his head small, orange eyes, and orange, pointed gills on the ends of both cheeks, similar to those on Mudkip. Marshtomp has fairly long arms with three-fingered hands. Marshtomp’s underside is a lighter shade of blue, the coloration extending to above the circular patch of orange coloration on its belly. Marshtomp has legs with three small toes upon its feet, and two black fins as its tails.

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

===Special abilities===
Several of Marshtomp’s attacks and notable abilities revolve around mud, which it can move through faster through than it can through water. {{m|Mud Shot}} is one of Marshtomp's special moves because they learn it when they first evolve, and is commonly used by both captive and wild Marshtomp alike. Due to a thin, sticky film enveloping its body, Marshtomp is able to live on land. However, Marshtomp becomes weakened if its skin dries out, so it replenishes fluids by playing in mud. Due to its sturdy legs, it has sure footing even in mud, enabling it to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp can utilize its fins like a radar. It is also sensitive to movements on the ground, even underground.

===Behavior===
Marshtomp can be mild mannered, but are very protective of their kind, and are known to hurl mud at foes, the trait growing fierce upon evolution. Due to its sure footing in mud, it is able to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp plays in mud on beaches when the ocean tide is low, and burrows into dirt to sleep.
===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Marshtomp and members of its evolution family live in swamps and wetlands deep in isolated islands. They tend to dislike freshwater ponds, lakes, and riverbeds. Oddly, they travel great distances to freshwater beaches to make their nests.

After the Flaaffy was healed, Marshtomp became infatuated with the pink electrical sheep, though it ultimately rejected him. Marshtomp remained on Brock's team until it was left in [[Pewter City]] he departed for Sinnoh.

====Other====

==In the manga==
[[File:Zuzu Marshtomp.png|thumb|150px|[[Zuzu]], {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Swampert}}, as a Marshtomp]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Zuzu}}
{{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Mudkip}}, Zuzu, evolved upon his arrival at [[Slateport City]], which Ruby was happy to record a video of. Afterwards, it was used in battle with {{tc|Magma Admin}} [[Mack]] as Ruby escaped the villain using his knowledge of [[Pokéblock]]s and natures that determine preference. After again being forced to battle with yet another Magma Admin, this time in the form of [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], it became a {{p|Swampert}}, though this time Ruby was too depressed after his fight with {{adv|Sapphire}} to commemorate this occasion.

==Trivia==
* Marshtomp is the only middle evolution {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] with two [[type]]s.

===Origin===
Marshtomp is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}} or {{wp|mudskipper}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|axolotl}}, like its {{p|Mudkip|pre-evolved form}}. However, the single fin on Marshtomp's head is reminiscent of the {{wp|Murmillo|Murmillo Helmet}} worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the {{wp|Corinthian Helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) which is worn by Greek Hoplites. "Murmillo" is also a Greek word for a type of saltwater fish. Marshtomp also resembles an {{wp|water monitor}}.

====Name origin====
Marshtomp is a combination of ''{{wp|marsh}}'' and ''stomp''.

Numacraw may be a combination of 沼 ''numa'' ({{wp|swamp}}) and ''crawfish'' ({{wp|crayfish}}, a freshwater crustacean), ''crawl'', or ''claw'' (as "l" and "r" are phonetically interchangeable).

'''Mudkip''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミズゴロウ''' ''Mizugorou'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

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

Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Torchic}}, Mudkip is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mudkip is a small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with a large head, wide mouth, black, beady eyes and orange, star-shaped external gills on its cheeks. It also has a fin on the top of its head and a light-blue fin for a tail. It moves around on all four legs, and has a light-blue underside.

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

===Special abilities===
Mudkip can use the fin on its head to detect subtle changes in air and water currents, and can detect nearby bodies of water. In this way, it can also detect danger. Its fin can also point in a certain direction, as seen in ''[[Date Expectations]]''. Like most Water-type Pokémon, Mudkip can {{m|Water Gun|shoot water}} from its mouth. When in the water, Mudkip breathes using the gills on its cheeks. On land, it can powerfully {{m|Strength|lift large boulders}} by planting its four feet and heaving. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself.

===Behavior===
Mudkip is more mellow than its evolutions, but is protective of its kind and because of its powerful strength it groups up in numbers and easily overpower its foes. Mudkip has been known to be playful, especially in mud, as well. It sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. Its large tail fin propels it through water with powerful acceleration.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands. Soon after birth on beautiful beaches, it swims to swamps deep within islands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Mudkip.png|thumb|left|Mudkip in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[File:Mudkiphatching2.gif|right|thumb|Mudkip {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the anime]]
====[[Brock's Mudkip]]====
{{an|Brock}} has a {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} that he caught as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip Eggs were seen in the episode when [[Old Man Swamp]] offered to let Brock see one hatch, and Brock accepts his offer with enthusiasm. Next, a baby Mudkip is shown hatching from a Mudkip Egg.

====Other====
Mudkip first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', when {{an|May}} was asked to use a Pokémon to attack some {{p|Poochyena}}. Then, when May was asked to pick her [[starter Pokémon]], she didn't pick Mudkip after it refused to do what May asked.

During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] asks {{Ash}} and [[Max]] to look over a {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and Mudkip while she wasn't there. The Mudkip of this group was very young and cried easily.

[[Nicholai]]'s Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''.

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

A Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG033|Now That’s Flower Power!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.

{{main|Zuzu}}
In Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Ruby}} was attacked by {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Torchic}}, [[Professor Birch]] told him to look in his briefcase, to pick up the Poké Ball with a blue Pokémon and to throw it. The Poké Ball released a Mudkip and he nicknamed it Zuzu. At the beginning, Ruby was disappointed with it because it wasn't as attractive as his other Pokémon and it couldn't participate in any [[Pokémon Contest]]. He tried with different conditions and then decided that [[Tough Contest]]s would be perfect for it. Zuzu eventually evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} and then into a {{p|Swampert}}.

== Other appearances ==

=== [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] ===

Mudkip appears as a random trophy.

''"A Mud Fish Pokémon. It has fins on its head and tail. The fin on its head acts like a radar dish to read its surroundings, and its tail fin increases its swimming speed. The gills on its cheeks allow it to move about in water. It's very strong for its size--it can even lift big boulders. It burrows into muddy watersides to sleep. Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp."''

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

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 three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian Pokémon. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes, similar to the tail of a [[Wartortle (Pokémon)|Wartortle]]. Its stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling a pouch.

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

===Special abilities===
Treecko is able to scale walls with the aid of tiny spikes located in its hands and feet.

In addition to Treecko's arsenal of {{type|Grass}} moves, it is also capable of a few attacks that involve physical combat such as {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Treecko is also capable of knowing {{m|DragonBreath}} under certain circumstances.

===Behavior===
{{pkmn2|Wild}} Treecko are very territorial, and will attack anyone that comes near their home. Treecko are known for their calm and collected personality and never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. They sense humidity with their tails to predict the next day's weather.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Treecko lives inside overgrown forests, and is known to be the protectors of the forest's trees. It is known to make its nests on large and tall trees to prevent attack from foes. However, Treecko is a bit of a rarity in the wild, and is more common in captivity. One is most likely to find it in [[Hoenn]].

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Birch Treecko.png|thumb|200px|Treecko in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Treecko]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Sceptile}} that he caught as a Treecko in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''. It evolved into Grovyle in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'', and in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', it reached its final form.

====Other====
Treecko first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''. [[Professor Birch]] was showing {{an|May}} the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] was taking care of a Treecko, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} that a little girl named {{ho|Stephanie}} was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.

===Minor appearances ===
A Treecko appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship's Pokémon Center.

{{OBP|Mew|M08}} took the form of a Treecko in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
Treecko was the only [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] that was not recruited into a protagonist's team at the beginning of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, instead being passed in favor of [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] because it looked ugly to the beauty-obsessed {{adv|Ruby}}. When it was finally destined to meet its partner, the huge rainstorms caused by {{p|Kyogre}} sent it and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after it had finally been recovered by [[Wally]] and evolved, it was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned. Evolving again into a Sceptile, it was this time caught in the wild by [[Guile Hideout]] and stolen by its proper owner, {{adv|Emerald}}.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
In the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, {{OBP|Ruby|Ruby-Sapphire}} owns a Treecko. It appears to be his starter Pokémon. In ''[[PMRS03|Something Happened!!

==Synopsis==
After his battle against {{EF|Flint}}, {{Ash}} is more than ready for his Gym battle against [[Volkner]]. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}} and Flint watching from the stands (and the [[Proprietor]] watching the battle on TV from his bar), the Robotic Referee announces the rules; the battle will be three-on-three with only the challenger allowed to substitute their Pokémon. Volkner sends out his first Pokémon, {{p|Luxray}} and Ash responds by sending out {{p|Grotle}}, a good match for an {{t|Electric}} type and with that the battle begins.

Ash has Grotle start off with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, however Luxray is able to easily dodge and strikes back with {{m|Spark}}. While a hard hit, luckily Grotle has defense and type on its side. Ash has Grotle try another Razor Leaf when suddenly the Gym's power goes out. Volkner makes sure that there's nothing wrong with the Gym itself, and with the lights gone and the Robotic Referee out of commission the Gym Battle is canceled. The gang then decide to head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to find out what's happened.

Exiting the Gym, the group are surprised to see Officer Jenny running to them who tells them that it's not just Sunyshore Gym that's suffered a blackout... the power has gone out throughout Sunyshore City. However it seems the power to Brock's heart is still up and running as he once again declares his powerful love for her... however his love isn't as powerful as {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab}}. It emerges that the power problem is due to something happening at [[Sunyshore Tower]], the source of all of the city's electricity. Suddenly the ground starts to quake, which causes damage to the Gym. Everyone then finds out what the problem is... {{TRT}} have taken control of the tower. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are very pleased and say the motto before heading to the tower's cockpit... as it turns out the three have been busy turning Sunyshore Tower into a rocket planning to deliver it straight to {{an|Giovanni}} as a never ending source of power. Activating the rockets, Sunyshore Tower lifts off and starts to fly away. As getting away with Sunyshore Tower will leave the city without power permanently Ash and the gang give chase, with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} quickly getting ahead of their Trainers. The tower starts to climb and knowing they need to get on board now or not at all, Flint jumps and reaches the tower. Second is Volkner with his Raichu and finally, Ash and Pikachu. Dawn and Brock however are unable to grab on in time and are left behind. The tower starts to climb higher and higher and while Ash and Volkner have a good grip, Flint is unable to hold on falls into the sea. Ash also loses his grip and begins to fall, but his hand is caught by Volkner. Ash and Volkner manage to get a firm footing and head into the tower to confront Team Rocket.

Meanwhile, Dawn, Brock and Flint head the Pokémon Center where they meet with Nurse Joy. Brock, as usual, falls in love and Croagunk, as usual, brings him back down to earth. Nurse Joy is very worried about the Pokémon that are supposed to be getting treatment in the Center, as without power their conditions will go untreated and may even get worse. The back-up generator for the Center is not functioning, while all the adults available, including the [[Proprietor]] are working as fast as they can to get it running. Luckily Nurse Joy has a back-up power supply... two bicycles connected to a small generator. Flint is happy to help and stating that he used to be quite the marathon rider, immediately gets on the left bike and starts pedaling. Brock begins to help as well, getting on the right bike.

Inside Sunyshore Tower, Ash and Volkner head to the cockpit to find Team Rocket. As they prepare to enter the cockpit, Ash and Volkner are suddenly trapped in a cage alongside Pikachu. Jessie talks to them over the speakers, telling them that Team Rocket have watched their every move and that they plan to dump the cage before taking the tower to Giovanni. Ash and Volkner have Pikachu and Raichu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the cage, however this backfires as it not only doesn't break the cage but instead the power is redirected into Sunyshore Tower's generators. Meowth comments that for now they're the ecologically friendly in Team Rocket as they're not letting a single volt of electricity go to waste. Ash knows he's got to try something different and sends out {{AP|Gible}}, commanding him to use {{m|Rock Smash}} on the side of the cage. Gible is able to easily break the cage apart, and Ash and Volkner head towards the cockpit. Once entering, Gible starts to munch on the platform that Team Rocket installed before Ash returns him to his [[Poké Ball]]. Ash demands Team Rocket return Sunyshore Tower back to its correct location, but Jessie and James naturally refuse and send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} to battle.

In the Pokémon Center, Flint's cycling experience is serving him well. Brock's energy is flagging but instantly gets a second wind when Nurse Joy encourages him, and manages to surpass Flint in the amount of power being generated.

Pikachu and Raichu attempt to use Thunderbolt against the two Pokémon but once again the energy is redirected to power the tower and Pikachu and Raichu are already exhausted from the power drain when Seviper and Carnivine attack, allowing them to gain the upper hand. Ash sends out Grotle and it is able to use {{m|Tackle}} to send Seviper and Carnivine flying back. Ash orders a Razor Leaf to follow up, when Grotle starts to [[Evolution|evolve]]! Becoming much larger and more powerful, Grotle evolves into {{AP|Torterra}} to Ash's delight. Suddenly, instead of using Razor Leaf, Torterra uses a new attack... Volkner tells Ash that it's {{m|Leaf Storm}}! Using this, it sends Seviper and Carnivine flying back to Jessie and James who aren't impressed and attempt to send their Pokémon back into battle. Ash decides to wrap things up once and for all and has Torterra use Leaf Storm again. With the powerful {{type|Grass}} move, Team Rocket is sent blasting out of the tower and away.

Unfortunately this causes a hole in the tower and air starts to rush out of it. Ash, Pikachu and Raichu cling on to Torterra for dear life and Volkner takes the controls in order to return Sunyshore Tower to its correct location, sealing the hole with an emergency bulkhead. In the Pokémon Center Brock starts to tire again but manages to keep going with Nurse Joy's encouragement, when the back-up generator finally comes online (to the cheers of everyone working on it). Suddenly Dawn spots Sunyshore Tower heading straight towards them! Although it is difficult, Volkner is able to get control of the tower and with Pikachu, Raichu and Luxray powering it with their Thunderbolt attacks, he manages to avoid the Pokémon Center and is able to return the tower back to its original position. With the tower returned, the power is restored to the whole city much to everyone's delight.

Outside Sunyshore Gym, Volkner regretfully tells Ash that although Sunyshore Tower is back, both the tower and the Gym have sustained serious damage. They're both going to take quite a while to repair and until they are both back up to speed the Gym battle will have to be postponed. Ash isn't too disappointed, as he knows getting the {{Badge|Beacon}} won't be easy as Volkner is clearly a very tough Gym Leader to defeat, and he can use the extra time to train... and besides, he isn't leaving Sunyshore City empty-handed as he now has a powerhouse on his team with Torterra. Brock congratulates Ash on Grotle's evolution, and Dawn looks up Torterra in her Pokédex. And so, bidding Volkner and Flint farewell and leaving Sunyshore City behind for the moment, the gang head for [[Valor Lakefront]] so Dawn can compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]]!

* When Ash's Pikachu and Volkner's Raichu are charging up the energy reserves of the tower, their cry is heard despite their mouths being closed.
* Volkner mispronounces Gible's name "Jib-le" when it uses Rock Smash to break the cage. It's correct pronounce of the name is "Gib-le".
* In the Brazilian dub, occurs a mistranslation, where the word "Fleeing" is confused with "Feeling".

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

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

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Charmander is an orange reptilian creature resembling a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed bipedal}} {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities, particularly like those of theropods. Charmander has four small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws, a cream underside and an expansive cream coloration on the sole of its foot. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games.

Charmander has been described as cute in appearance; however, one may have to regard it with caution, as its slashing claws are sharp and strong, and thus potentially dangerous.

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

===Special abilities===
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about, or wield its small, yet sharp claws to use {{m|Slash}}. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

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

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

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains or in rocky, heated crags and caves along the coast of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Their final evolution, {{p|Charizard}}, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However, they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. It is normally native to [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

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

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Charmander anime.png|thumb|200px|right|Charmander in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Charizard|Ash's Charmander]]====
In ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its Trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}}, and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

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

====Other====
In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through {{an|Professor Oak}}'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

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

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

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

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

A Charmander also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Charmander}} was one of the Pokémon owned by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor]].

Two Charmander appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. One was seen evolving on TV for a commercial about [[Cassidy]]'s and [[Butch]]'s breeding center, while the other one appeared in the said center.

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

A Charmander appeared in ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'' as a fantasized Pokémon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Other appearances==

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

===Trophy Information===

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* Charmander is the first {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and the first single-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* In the first generation, on its sprite and [[a:File:004Charmander RG.png|first artwork]], Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later [[generation]]s. Charmander also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on Green's Charmander from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
* Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* In the first generation, Charmander and its evolutionary line are capable of learning {{m|Leer}}. However, in later generations, this move is replaced by {{m|Scary Face}}.
* Its FireRed Pokédex entry states that its life would end if the flame on its tail would go out. However, in the console games, its flame effectively stops burning if Charmander (or its evolutions) is affected by {{status|freeze}} and does not burn in rain.
* Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one [[regional Pokédex]], being found in both [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Kanto's]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]].
* Charmander can learn the move {{m|Metal Claw}} by leveling up in [[Generation III]], exclusively in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but can only learn it by {{pkmn|breeding}} in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]].
* Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved [[starter Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

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 three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian Pokémon. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes, similar to the tail of a [[Wartortle (Pokémon)|Wartortle]]. Its stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling a pouch.

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

===Special abilities===
Treecko is able to scale walls with the aid of tiny spikes located in its hands and feet.

In addition to Treecko's arsenal of {{type|Grass}} moves, it is also capable of a few attacks that involve physical combat such as {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Treecko is also capable of knowing {{m|DragonBreath}} under certain circumstances.

===Behavior===
{{pkmn2|Wild}} Treecko are very territorial, and will attack anyone that comes near their home. Treecko are known for their calm and collected personality and never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. They sense humidity with their tails to predict the next day's weather.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Treecko lives inside overgrown forests, and is known to be the protectors of the forest's trees. It is known to make its nests on large and tall trees to prevent attack from foes. However, Treecko is a bit of a rarity in the wild, and is more common in captivity. One is most likely to find it in [[Hoenn]].

===Major appearances===
[[File:Birch Treecko.png|thumb|200px|Treecko in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Treecko]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Sceptile}} that he caught as a Treecko in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''. It evolved into Grovyle in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'', and in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', it reached its final form.

====Other====
Treecko first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''. [[Professor Birch]] was showing {{an|May}} the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] was taking care of a Treecko, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} that a little girl named {{ho|Stephanie}} was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
Treecko was the only [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] that was not recruited into a protagonist's team at the beginning of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, instead being passed in favor of [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] because it looked ugly to the beauty-obsessed {{adv|Ruby}}. When it was finally destined to meet its partner, the huge rainstorms caused by {{p|Kyogre}} sent it and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after it had finally been recovered by [[Wally]] and evolved, it was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned. Evolving again into a Sceptile, it was this time caught in the wild by [[Guile Hideout]] and stolen by its proper owner, {{adv|Emerald}}.

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

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 three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian Pokémon. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes, similar to the tail of a [[Wartortle (Pokémon)|Wartortle]]. Its stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling a pouch.

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

===Special abilities===
Treecko is able to scale walls with the aid of tiny spikes located in its hands and feet.

In addition to Treecko's arsenal of {{type|Grass}} moves, it is also capable of a few attacks that involve physical combat such as {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Treecko is also capable of knowing {{m|DragonBreath}} under certain circumstances.

===Behavior===
{{pkmn2|Wild}} Treecko are very territorial, and will attack anyone that comes near their home. Treecko are known for their calm and collected personality and never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. They sense humidity with their tails to predict the next day's weather.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Treecko lives inside overgrown forests, and is known to be the protectors of the forest's trees. It is known to make its nests on large and tall trees to prevent attack from foes. However, Treecko is a bit of a rarity in the wild, and is more common in captivity. One is most likely to find it in [[Hoenn]].

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Birch Treecko.png|thumb|200px|Treecko in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Treecko]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Sceptile}} that he caught as a Treecko in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''. It evolved into Grovyle in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'', and in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', it reached its final form.

====Other====
Treecko first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''. [[Professor Birch]] was showing {{an|May}} the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] was taking care of a Treecko, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}} that a little girl named {{ho|Stephanie}} was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.

===Minor appearances ===

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
Treecko was the only [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] that was not recruited into a protagonist's team at the beginning of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, instead being passed in favor of [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] because it looked ugly to the beauty-obsessed {{adv|Ruby}}. When it was finally destined to meet its partner, the huge rainstorms caused by {{p|Kyogre}} sent it and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after it had finally been recovered by [[Wally]] and evolved, it was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned. Evolving again into a Sceptile, it was this time caught in the wild by [[Guile Hideout]] and stolen by its proper owner, {{adv|Emerald}}.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
In the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, {{OBP|Ruby|Ruby-Sapphire}} owns a Treecko. It appears to be his starter Pokémon. In ''[[PMRS03|Something Happened!!

'''Mudkip''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミズゴロウ''' ''Mizugorou'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

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

Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Torchic}}, Mudkip is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mudkip is a small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with a large head, wide mouth, black, beady eyes and orange, star-shaped external gills on its cheeks. It also has a fin on the top of its head and a light-blue fin for a tail. It moves around on all four legs, and has a light-blue underside.

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

===Special abilities===
Mudkip can use the fin on its head to detect subtle changes in air and water currents, and can detect nearby bodies of water. In this way, it can also detect danger. Like most Water-type Pokémon, Mudkip can {{m|Water Gun|shoot water}} from its mouth. When in the water, Mudkip breathes using the gills on its cheeks. On land, it can powerfully {{m|Strength|lift large boulders}} by planting its four feet and heaving. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself.

===Behavior===
Mudkip is more mellow than its evolutions, but is protective of its kind and because of its powerful strength it groups up in numbers and easily overpower its foes. Mudkip has been known to be playful, especially in mud, as well. It sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. Its large tail fin propels it through water with powerful acceleration.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands. Soon after birth on beautiful beaches, it swims to swamps deep within islands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
[[File:Mudkiphatching2.gif|right|thumb|Mudkip {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the anime]]
====[[Brock's Mudkip]]====
{{an|Brock}} has a {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} that he caught as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip Eggs were seen in the episode when [[Old Man Swamp]] offered to let Brock see one hatch, and Brock accepts his offer with enthusiasm. Next, a baby Mudkip is shown hatching from a Mudkip Egg.

====Other====
Mudkip first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', when {{an|May}} was asked to use a Pokémon to attack some {{p|Poochyena}}. Then, when May was asked to pick her [[starter Pokémon]], she didn't pick Mudkip after it refused to do what May asked.

During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] asks {{Ash}} and [[Max]] to look over a {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and Mudkip while she wasn't there. The Mudkip of this group was very young and cried easily.

[[Nicholai]]'s Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''.

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

A Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG033|Now That’s Flower Power!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Zuzu}}
In Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Ruby}} was attacked by {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Torchic}}, [[Professor Birch]] told him to look in his briefcase, to pick up the Poké Ball with a blue Pokémon and to throw it. The Poké Ball released a Mudkip and he nicknamed it Zuzu. At the beginning, Ruby was disappointed with it because it wasn't as attractive as his other Pokémon and it couldn't participate in any [[Pokémon Contest]]. He tried with different conditions and then decided that [[Tough Contest]]s would be perfect for it. Zuzu eventually evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} and then into a {{p|Swampert}}.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] manga, [[Ginji]]'s partner and first friend is a cautious {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}}.

== Other appearances ==

=== [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] ===

Mudkip appears as a random trophy.

''"A Mud Fish Pokémon. It has fins on its head and tail. The fin on its head acts like a radar dish to read its surroundings, and its tail fin increases its swimming speed. The gills on its cheeks allow it to move about in water. It's very strong for its size--it can even lift big boulders. It burrows into muddy watersides to sleep. Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp."''

'''Azumarill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マリルリ''' ''Marilli'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Marill}} starting at [[level]] 18. It is the final form of {{p|Azurill}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azumarill is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}}, blue mammalian Pokémon. It has a nearly ovoid shape with a white and white-speckled, bubble-like pattern on its underside, which helps it to camouflage itself in the water. Azumarill also has elongated, rabbit-like ears with red insides. Azumarill still possesses the wiry black tail and blue "bubble" it had in its {{p|Azurill|pre-evolved}} {{p|Marill|forms}}, except the bubble is smaller. Its eyes are circular with blue irises.

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

===Special abilities===
By keeping still and listening intently, it can tell what is in even wild, fast-moving rivers. Azumarill can make balloons out of air. It makes these air balloons if it spots a drowning Pokémon. The air balloons enable the Pokémon in trouble to breathe.

===Behavior===
It lives in water virtually all day long. When it plays in water, it rolls up its elongated ears to prevent their insides from getting wet. If Azumarill spots a drowning Pokémon, it will make air balloons to help it breathe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Azumarill live in rivers and lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
* Azumarill is the only final form of a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves by level alone.
* Azumarill and Marill are the only Pokémon that can have the {{t|Electric}} type as their sole weakness. This is because of their Hidden [[Ability]] {{a|Sap Sipper}}.

===Origin===
It may be based on a combination of a {{wp|rabbit}} and a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azumarill may be a combination of ''azure'' (a shade of blue) or ''azul'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''blue''), ''mar'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''sea'') or ''marine'' (of the water), and ''rill'' (a small river or brook). ''{{p|Marill}}'' could also be a contraction of ''marine blue''.

Marilli may be a combination of 丸い ''marui'' (''round'' or ''circular'') or 鞠 ''mari'' (ball) and 瑠璃 ''ruri'' ({{wp|lapis lazuli}}).

Also, it's English name comes from it's pre-evolutions: [[Azurill]] and [[Marill]] ('''Azu'''/rill, '''Marill''').

'''Azumarill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マリルリ''' ''Marilli'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Marill}} starting at [[level]] 18. It is the final form of {{p|Azurill}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azumarill is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}}, blue mammalian Pokémon. It has a nearly ovoid shape with a white and white-speckled, bubble-like pattern on its underside, which helps it to camouflage itself in the water. Azumarill also has elongated, rabbit-like ears with red insides. Azumarill still possesses the wiry black tail and blue "bubble" it had in its {{p|Azurill|pre-evolved}} {{p|Marill|forms}}, except the bubble is smaller. Its eyes are circular with blue irises.

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

===Special abilities===
By keeping still and listening intently, it can tell what is in even wild, fast-moving rivers. Azumarill can make balloons out of air. It makes these air balloons if it spots a drowning Pokémon. The air balloons enable the Pokémon in trouble to breathe.

===Behavior===
It lives in water virtually all day long. When it plays in water, it rolls up its elongated ears to prevent their insides from getting wet. If Azumarill spots a drowning Pokémon, it will make air balloons to help it breathe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Azumarill live in rivers and lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
By focusing its hearing, Azumarill can identify what kinds of prey are around. It also {{a|Sap Sipper|eats plants}}.

When her mother asks her to demonstrate her capturing prowess, Crystal fails (as she has done so since her failure to capture {{p|Suicune}}), eliciting her mother's concern over her sudden loss of her ability. Crystal's mom later appears with an Azumarill in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, but it is not known if it related to the other one.

[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] uses an Azumarill in {{PAV|17}} in an attempt to drown both {{adv|Sapphire}} and [[Flannery]] in the cable car of [[Mt. Chimney]].

==Trivia==
* Azumarill is the only final form of a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves by level alone.
* Azumarill and Marill are the only Pokémon that can have the {{t|Electric}} type as their sole weakness. This is because of their Hidden [[Ability]] {{a|Sap Sipper}}.

===Origin===
It may be based on a combination of a {{wp|rabbit}} and a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azumarill may be a combination of ''azure'' (a shade of blue) or ''azul'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''blue''), ''mar'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''sea'') or ''marine'' (of the water), and ''rill'' (a small river or brook). ''{{p|Marill}}'' could also be a contraction of ''marine blue''.

Marilli may be a combination of 丸い ''marui'' (''round'' or ''circular'') or 鞠 ''mari'' (ball) and 瑠璃 ''ruri'' ({{wp|lapis lazuli}}).

Also, it's English name comes from it's pre-evolutions: Azurill and Marill ('''Azu'''/rill, '''Marill''').

'''Cilan''' (Japanese: '''デント''' ''Dent'') is a current {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of [[Ash Ketchum]]. He made his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Cilan anime.png|thumb|230px|left|Cilan during a Gym battle]]
Cilan made his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' running errands in his hometown of [[Striaton City]]. He was intrigued to see an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and remarked that it and {{an|Iris}} seemed to be perfect partners. He then noticed {{AP|Pikachu}} and examined it excitedly, having never seen one before. When {{Ash}} explained he wanted to challenge the [[Striaton Gym]], Cilan happily showed them the way. He leads them to a café and sits them down at a table, despite their obvious confusion. After toying with Ash for a bit, Cilan reveals that he, along with his brothers [[Chili]] and [[Cress]], are the Gym Leaders at the Striaton Gym. After introducing their Pokémon to Ash, he and his brothers were shocked to hear he wanted to battle all of them, but they happily accepted his offer. Cilan served the role as the judge for his brothers' battles, and finally faced off as Ash's final opponent. After a heated battle with Cilan, which carried on to ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', Ash wins and gets the {{Badge|Trio}}. After the battle, Cilan meets up with Ash at the [[Pokémon Center]] and begs him to tell him his battle secrets for future reference as a Connoisseur. After spending the day with Ash and {{an|Iris}}, Cilan decided to accompany them on Ash's journey, serving as the navigation as well as the cook as revealed in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''.

In ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'', the group encounters a wild {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} making its shell. After it is stolen by a group of thieving Dwebble, Cilan sends his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to follow them. With no luck, the group approached the Dwebble with empathy, but this only scared it and caused it to lash out at their Pokémon. It ends up hitting Pansage with a stray rock, which later ends up making him ill. Once recovered, they try to help Dwebble retrieve his shell which ultimately failed in a 3-to-1 battle. Cilan hatched a plan to lure the Dwebble away with Pokémon food so that the Dwebble to battle them one at a time. The plan was a success and the Dwebble urged to be a part of Cilan's team, who was happy to have it on board.

In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' Cilan revealed that he is an Class A [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] after Ash found a Connoisseur's shop in a [[Poké Mart]]. After doing some shopping, Cilan and Iris find Ash in a different Connoisseur shop belonging to a C-Class Connoisseur named [[Burgundy]]. Burgundy instantly recognized Cilan who stated that he had defeated her in a Gym battle some time before meeting Ash. Seeking total revenge, Burgundy challenged Cilan to a battle to prove she was a better Connoisseur, putting Ash's Pokémon on the line. Cilan accepted the battle, as well as responsibility for whatever might happen to Ash's Pokémon as a result of the battle, much to Ash's dismay. However, Cilan managed to defeat Burgundy without much trouble, and she decided to start her own journey. As the group was seeing Burgundy off, Cilan stepped forward and offered a few words of encouragement to his new rival, who still swore revenge on him and ran off.

He revealed that he has quite a knack for scientifically thinking in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', as well as in ''[[BW030|A UFO for Elgyem!]]'' when he, Ash, and Iris witnessed a UFO landing. This led them to the home of [[Professor Icarus]], a scientist in UFO engineering who Cilan admires.

Cilan showed off some of his skills as a fisherman in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'' where he fished a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} out of a lake that was preventing Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving a water herb that would heal their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon, using a lure that resembled himself. Though Stunfisk put up a struggle, Cilan confused it by twirling it around in the air with his fishing rod before he slammed it to the ground.[[File:Metro Connoisseur Cilan.png|thumb|right|250px|Cilan wearing his conductor hat.]] This left it unable to battle and he captured it. These skills were put to use again in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'' when he managed to hook a {{p|Basculin}} during a fake fishing competition held by the [[Team Rocket trio]].

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', Cilan signed up to participate in the [[Club Battle]] tournament in [[Nimbasa Town]] along with his friends. He also reunited with [[Burgundy]] who was still determined to get her revenge. It was revealed that his first opponent would be [[Trip]] and their battle began in the [[BW039|next episode]]. He chose {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} to go up against Trip's {{p|Gurdurr}}. Initiating all of Dwebble's skills, Cilan was able to defeat him and advance to the second round of the competition, much to Burgundy's dislike. In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', his second round opponent was [[Luke]]. Cilan chose {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to go up against Luke's {{p|Larvesta}} and lost, thus knocking Cilan out of the tournament in the second round.

In ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' and ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'' Cilan revealed he had an extensive knowledge of trains, and had once met {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} at a train convention. He even donned a black conductor's hat similar to Ingo's. Later when {{TRT}} had stolen all of the Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, Cilan used his knowledge to become a major asset for Emmet and Ingo and help rescue the stolen Pokémon.

Cilan was able to meet up with his brother [[Chili]] again in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]''. Chili told him that he came to view the progress of his studying and immediately asked him for a battle to which Cilan accepted. He was able to easily able to defeat [[Chili's Pansear]] with his Pansage which provoked a fight between the High Temp Pokémon and its Trainer. He later learned from Cress that Chili had run away from the Gym because he criticized his battling style. Cilan decided that he would help Chili find his own battle style. While Cress said that Chili needed to not focus on offense so much and focus more on defense, Cilan thought it would be better for him to continue to focus on his offense under the premise of "a good offense is a good defense". He believed that teaching Pansear {{m|SolarBeam}} would be a good way for Pansear to defend itself against {{type|Water}}s and it successfully learned the move with the help of Pansage.

==Character==
[[File:BW035.png|thumb|220px|Cilan as a detective]]
Cilan is an A-class [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] who can see the compatibility between a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He also tends to use the phrase "It's <verb> time!" when addressing a special scenario, such as when he evaluates Pokémon and human relations he says "It's evaluating time!" in the dub and "It's tasting time!" in the original. During Gym battles in the dub, he will use the phrase "It's time for the battle to be served!". When capturing a Pokémon, he uses the line 「{{tt|_____ゲットでグッドテイスト！|I got a ____ with good taste!}}」 in the original. He has used different phrases for capturing Pokémon in the dub, however. He has proved himself to be a good cook as he prepares meals for the group. Cilan also navigates the group on their journey through use of his [[Town Map]], much like [[Max]] who had a [[PokéNav]], and {{an|Brock}} who had maps and a [[Pokégear]].

As a Connoisseur, he can read into people's personalities and often finds the best ways to approach them. He's patient and caring towards Ash and Iris, often offering them advice when they don't know what to do. While he has been shown to lose his temper, he quickly moves on and will go out of his way to make up for it. He tends to be an optimist looking at things positively rather than wallowing in defeat.

He is also shown to be afraid of the paranormal which has made him a skeptic, preferring to find logical scientific explanations for everything, but when he can't find a logical explanation he is typically the first to flee. His love for science is later emphasized upon encountering a possible UFO sighting which leads to him meeting one of his mentors, [[Professor Icarus]]. Cilan also has a passion for sleuthing and will sometimes play detective. He even has a special hat that he wears and a magnifying glass. But he does more than just play as he was able to draw conclusions and come up with ideas in order to find the missing {{p|Audino}} in ''[[BW035|Where Did You Go, Audino?]]''.

In ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', it was revealed that Cilan also has a fear of {{p|Purrloin}}. He states that one of them did something terrible to him to which he refuses to talk about as he doesn't want to remember it.

He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to tea, and the element of tea relating to their own. In Cilan's case, leaves and herbs. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Cilan tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

[[File:Cilan special lure.png|thumb|240px|right|Cilan's special lure]]
* Cilan, along with {{an|Iris}} was first revealed in silhouette in a preview for the {{series|Best Wishes}} that aired after [[DP183]] in Japan on July 1, 2010. The two were revealed in full exactly one month later during a trailer on [[Pokémon Sunday]].

* In the games, Cilan can only be battled at the Striaton Gym if the {{player}} chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. Notably, Ash has obtained {{AP|Oshawott}} from {{prof|Juniper}} as his first out of the Unova starter Pokémon, and used him in his Gym battle against Cilan. The same thing also happened to [[Burgundy]], as she battled him once with an {{p|Oshawott}}.
* Cilan is the first of Ash's {{ashfr|male friends}} to have a fear of {{p|Purrloin|a specific Pokémon}}.
* Cilan is the only main character to have Pokémon from only one generation.

==Trivia==
* Whimsicott represents {{wp|April}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Whimsicott, along with {{p|Volcarona}}, are the only non-Flying-type Pokémon able to learn {{m|Hurricane}}.

===Origin===
Whimsicott appears to be based on a fully bloomed ball of {{wp|cotton}}. It also may draw some origin from the {{wp|Vegetable Lamb of Tartary}}, which was a type of sheep-growing plant that was used to explain the production of cotton in the middle ages. It may also have been based on the Brazilian folklore creature known as the {{wp|Saci (Brazilian folklore)|Saci}}; both are brown creatures that live in forests, ride on winds, and play pranks. They also appear to be based on a {{wp|sheep}}.

====Name origin====
Whimsicott may be a combination of ''whimsical'' or ''whimsy'' and ''cotton''.

Elfuun may be a combination of ''elf'' and ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'' (''soft'', ''airy'' and ''light''), ''float'', or ''typhoon''.

* Whimsicott, along with {{p|Volcarona}}, are the only non-Flying-type Pokémon able to learn {{m|Hurricane}}.

===Origin===
Whimsicott appears to be based on a fully bloomed ball of {{wp|cotton}}. It also may draw some origin from the {{wp|Vegetable Lamb of Tartary}}, which was a type of sheep-growing plant that was used to explain the production of cotton in the middle ages. It may also have been based on the Brazilian folklore creature known as the {{wp|Saci (Brazilian folklore)|Saci}}; both are brown creatures that live in forests, ride on winds, and play pranks. She also appears to be based on a {{wp|sheep}}.

====Name origin====
Whimsicott may be a combination of ''whimsical'' or ''whimsy'' and ''cotton''.

Elfuun may be a combination of ''elf'' and ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'' (''soft'', ''airy'' and ''light''), ''float'', or ''typhoon''.

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

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

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Charmander is an orange reptilian creature resembling a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed bipedal}} {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities, particularly like those of theropods. Charmander has four small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws, a cream underside and an expansive cream coloration on the sole of its foot. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games.

Charmander has been described as cute in appearance; however, one may have to regard it with caution, as its slashing claws are sharp and strong, and thus potentially dangerous.

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

===Special abilities===
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about, or wield its small, yet sharp claws to use {{m|Slash}}. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

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

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

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains or in rocky, heated crags and caves along the coast of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Their final evolution, {{p|Charizard}}, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However, they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. It is normally native to [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

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

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Charmander anime.png|thumb|right|200px|Charmander in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Charizard|Ash's Charmander]]====
In ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its Trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}}, and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

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

====Other====
In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through {{an|Professor Oak}}'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

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

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

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

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

A Charmander also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Charmander}} was one of the Pokémon owned by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor]].

Two Charmander appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. One was seen evolving on TV for a commercial about [[Cassidy]]'s and [[Butch]]'s breeding center, while the other one appeared in the said center.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Other appearances ==

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

=== Trophy Information ===

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

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

* In the first generation, on its sprite and [[a:File:004Charmander RG.png|first artwork]], Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later [[generation]]s. Charmander also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on [[Kai Midorikawa's Charmander]] from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
* Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* In the first generation, Charmander and its evolutionary line are capable of learning {{m|Leer}}. However, in later generations, this move is replaced by {{m|Scary Face}}.
* Its FireRed Pokédex entry states that its life would end if the flame on its tail would go out. However, in the console games, its flame effectively stops burning if Charmander (or its evolutions) is affected by {{status|freeze}} and does not burn in rain.
* Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one [[regional Pokédex]], being found in both [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Kanto's]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]].
* Charmander can learn the move {{m|Metal Claw}} by leveling up in [[Generation III]], exclusively in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but can only learn it by {{pkmn|breeding}} in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]].
* Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* In the Spanish version of Red and Blue, the Pokédex says "Charmander, the Leopard Gecko Pokémon" strangely. But it was later removed in FireRed and LeafGreen.

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

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

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

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

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

But how do we know if it is day or night? I haven't played gen 3 games that much but i know that the clock we set is an analogue one and not a digital one. PS-I'm sorry for troubling u constantly with my questions.[[User:Auraguardian197|'''Auraguardian''']][[User talk:Auraguardian197|'''197''']] 14:29, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
:It's analogue, but it also says AM or PM on the clock face itself (checked in my game). And don't worry, I don't mind your questions. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:38, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry about editing the bell tower article. I

I'm really sorry.[[User:Auraguardian197|'''Auraguardian''']][[User talk:Auraguardian197|'''197''']] 13:37, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

== ?question? ==

why did you delete these glitches

o Bike music glitch

o Music glitch 2
(Above was an error i pressed submit twice)
[[User:AWild------Appeared|AWild------Appeared]] 14:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
:The cycling music is obviously intended not to be played on bridges; my guess would be that being so long, most people would always cycle along them and so would never hear the location music. I didn't delete the "Music glitch 2", I simply combined it with another glitch that worked on the same principle and called it "Music memory glitch". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:22, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I noticed that right there. But you deleted the Cry glitch which actually should be called a glitch. In case you didn't take it in properly:

Green HP: Healthy cry
Orange HP: Dodgy cry
Red HP: Healthy cry (o_O)

As you can see, there is a healthy cry in Red HP when it should sound terribly horrible. {{unsigned|AWild------Appeared}}
:Oh, it looks like I didn't read it properly. I've added it back. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll try and find as many more glitches as I can. (I do this with practically every game in the world I like.) {{unsigned|AWild------Appeared}}
:Wanting to tell you, when you click to go to "List of glitch Pokemon in Generation Whatsoever", instead of going to a page of glitch Pokemon, there's just the national Pokedex for that game. {{unsigned|AWild------Appeared}}
::Those aren't National Pokédex lists, those are index number lists. And they include all actual and glitch Pokémon in them, so it is much more efficient to simply link to them than create specific lists of only glitch Pokémon in each generation. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:04, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

== BW sprites ==

Not sure when, but some time ago I found [http://sprites.pokecheck.org/?gen=2& this]. There is a LOT of BW sprites there, probably all (split in Generations, and then Front, Front shiny, Back and Back shiny). They are gifs, though, but Archives has link to gif-to-png converter. Not sure if this/that could be used, but not many Pokémon have animated version of sprites from BW uploaded on Archives... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 13:25, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
:The issue is that they are not 90×90; the sprite rippers have cropped them when they ripped them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

== Template ==

I know that it's a minor thing but.. on the link templates page{{tt|*|don't know how to link it here}} the code for ash's friends is like this "Link template": <nowiki>{{Ashfr}}</nowiki> but at the "Code" column is: <nowiki>{{ashfr}}</nowiki>.

Also, shouldn't <nowiki>{{Bulbapedia:Bots}}</nowiki>{{tt|*|don't know how to link it here}} this page be protected along with the link templates page ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 16:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
:Made it consistent. It's pretty arbitrary whether it is upper or lowercase in articles (whereas I hate to see {{template|P}}, and will always change it to {{template|p}}). As for linking to other namespaces, you can link them like any other page, so [[Bulbapedia:List of link templates]] (or {{bp|List of link templates}}). I've protected [[Bulbapedia:Bots]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

== Manga ==

I think that Isamu's page is out of date because I took all appearances from his page. I did the same with all the Pokémon that appeared in the cooking competition.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 13:47, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

::Well, if the title contains lowercase for words that usually would be uppercase in a title, you should generally be suspicious and check the article. Translated Japanese names should not be used as display text for episodes/movies/specials/shorts/rounds/chapters. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

== Quotes. ==

Done (replying here since on my talk page I did reply that I didn't finished it). The only thing left that I can think of is the letter you find at his home after beating Elite Four, the one you read to get Beldum. Unsure if I should check it, though. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 11:19, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
:Wait. Why you erased quotes for Champion battle (RS) and Meteor Falls battle? They should stay. I didn't had them as they were already in article. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 11:55, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

== thx for the heads up ==

thx for the heads up on the template thing. I didn't read their warning and i didn't know about the violation thing. I just went ahead and removed the whole thing, the code stuff is to hard and I'm to old to learn it. I have a hard enough time learning about the new Pokémon. The first 151 cake, the next 100 additional ones *insert fonzy* the Gen III challenging...everything else....ugh.. @_@

As for me asking kenji-girl to have a word with Jo the Marten, I wasn't over reacting. Jo the Marten was being very pessimistic (that the right word?) and unpleasant. I asked Kenji-girl to take a look so I wasn't tempted to say something and start more trouble then the internet is worth. I'm too old to get roped into the things I always hear kids complain about, like flame wars and trolls. I don't want my every interaction with Jo the Marten to be an unpleasant one, but they seem to be putting off some bad mojo in the last couple of days. From getting on me about a innocent typo of their name, to undoing the * thingy and saying (I don't like this. I don't like this at all.) in the summary. I'm trying to not take things personal, but those little petty things are starting to add up.

As for the Masatoshi my wording might have been less then delicate, I'm not always able to express myself the way I'd like.

Plus I think when my eyes played their tricked where I saw her/his name instead of DJ...whatever I might have came off like I was blaming them for the end of the world.

I did over react on Masatoshi and I'll say sorry to them before I have another unneeded tension.

On another note, while I have slept since that day i was up 27 hours, I've not had the most restful sleeps. So I might be a little extra sensitive, but Jo's comment on that talk page was pretty Simon Cowell like. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 10:31, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
:While it is good that you decided to go to an admin rather than potentially get into a fight, it doesn't look very nice telling another admin to talk to someone, and it would have been better phrased if you had simply asked Kenji-girl to take a look at the situation, not told her what to do. Jo probably could have been a bit less blunt, but she didn't mean to be rude. Also, I really do appreciate that you went and apologized to Masatoshi; that really showed me that you can improve on your mistakes, which is a trait that not enough people have. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:47, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

== Idea ==

I've got a huge idea. Since there are problems with the types I suggest to be made a separate template for types without the dash. And I think we should make use of the <nowiki>{{type}}</nowiki>, therefore a <nowiki>{{type|Fire}}</nowiki> would be Fire type and <nowiki>{{type|Fire}}</nowiki> would be Fire-type ? Plus, regardless of what you do if you write <nowiki>{{type|Fire|Fire type}}</nowiki> it still adds the dash. How about it ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 19:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

== Some questions ==

Hi, I have 2 questions for you:

- This one may help me to discover glitches other than the GB Sounds glitch (remember?), or not, because I don't really know the subject: what are hexadecimals???

- Can you please tell me the code necessary to make that huge user bar that you have on your page (that on that says "Welcome to SnorlaxMonster" at the beggining), along with the code for that HP bar? I will make the necessary changes. It's because I want to have more information on my user page. [[User:TheOriginalOne|TheOriginalOne]] 13:28, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
:Everything in a video game has an [[index number]]. Due to computers storing data in binary, which is grouped into bytes, a byte can store one of 256 different combinations of bits. One byte is most easily expressed as 2 hexidecimal digits—with hexadecimal being base 16 and A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15. So each glitch Pokémon has its index number expressed as two hexdecimal digits (four in Gen III+). This also means that there are 256 slots for Pokémon in the Generation I and II games, and thus 105 (256-151) glitch Pokémon in each Generation I game (counting Missingno.'s multiple index numbers as individual Pokémon) and 5 (256-251) glitch Pokémon in each Generation II game.
:The code for my header can be easily viewed [[User:SnorlaxMonster/nav|here]] (just edit it ''without saving''). The HP bar template is [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Archive|here]], but I'd rather you didn't straight out copy/paste that as it took a fair amount of work to make (the navigation header is simply a modification of the old main page header). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Your friend that's also an admin, Jo_The_marten, deletes all I've done saying that I violated copyright! Then I told him that you have authorized me to do so with the necessary edits (remember)...and then he says that he PERSONALY heard from you the complaint that I was making it too much similar (not only it was starting to get much different, as now, as I've just said 3 lines ago, I was going to make major edits. I've suggested him that you took a look at the new code that I was going to write (and it's still not written). So, what do you say about all this stuff?

== Two questions ==

Hello, SnorlaxMonster! I was wondering:

# In the games, when someone refers to a type, it's usually written as "<type's name>-type", like Poison-type, with an hyphen. With the Template:Type this works well, like in {{type|Poison}}. This way, the Template:T can be used in cases like "{{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{type|Dragon}}". However, you undid one of my edits to the use of "{{t|Fire}} type", with no hyphen, and Wolfy is following this. What is the correct?
# Since you're a senior admin, can't you just split [[Form differences]] or do you need approval from other admins, because none of them has stated their views so far.

That's it. =) [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 21:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
:For the first one, they should only be hyphenated when used as an adjective (e.g. {{type|Fire}} Pokémon...). When used as a noun they should not be hyphenated (e.g. Snorlax is {{t|Normal}} type.)

And I think you misunderstood what I said about my talk page HP bar; I don't want you copying the code, but I don't mind if you look at the code to see how I did certain aspects of it (hoverexpand, the HP bar itself, etc.) and making your own. There are [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/hp-bar-user-talk-pages-78681/#post2123229 other users] who make talk page HP bars who don't mind you using theirs though (make sure you ask first though). And again, your decimal to hexadecimal converter is exactly the same as mine, so if you want to use one just use mine. Anyway, the reason I complained to Jo was because by taking so much of my stuff you made your userpage look almost exactly the same as mine. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, about the "eat-up" part, I'm going to leave it as it is, because it sounds funny to me to have it as a background (besides, it will look even more different from your page). Also, I was still thinking about having "today" copied because I will then try to ask for more info from "today in history" to The dark lord trombonator, for it to be more complete and for your page not to be affected... or will you do the same thing, so that this part will become really unnecessary? And will adding a picture of a battle with missingno. fighting in the upper part be enought for my HP bar to be original? Also, I've already told you that I won't use the "/hex", tought it is mentioned in the file. Well, I'm looking forward to your answer for me to know what I can do. [[User:TheOriginalOne|TheOriginalOne]] ([[User talk:TheOriginalOne|talk]]) 13:18, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
:You including /hex in the file made me think you were going to use it. If you want to copy what trom has into a template and use that, go ahead; trom's page is virtually a Bulbapediaspace/templatespace page anyway, so you can copy the code from it if you want (just don't copy the entire page with all of his notes and everything because that's pointless).

I was asking if you had read my suggestion in this section about a picture of a battle with missingno. Are you talking about that? Oh, and I've already noticed what you meant with "ugly".

[[User:TheOriginalOne|TheOriginalOne]] ([[User talk:TheOriginalOne|talk]]) 14:04, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
:I meant that simply adding a picture of battling Missingno. to mine is not enough to qualify as original. And that is why you should use the preview button before saving. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

"that is why you should use the preview button before saving."... That's a little ambiguous:

*If you're talking about the "ugly" part: Remember that I have to work with 2 pages: the nav and the normal one. So, the code necessary for the nav to eat up or not is in the nav section, a page where I cannot preview how it's going to look like in the normal page. Then, I used the preview button when I was editing the normal page, and that was when I noticed that it was ugly. Then I tought "Oh no! But... I can click the edit button (that was the third edit) and then, tomorrow, modify the nav section. I just need some patience."

*If you're talking about the HP bar... I didn't save it :)

Oh yeah, now I'll try to make major edits to the HP bar. [[User:TheOriginalOne|TheOriginalOne]] ([[User talk:TheOriginalOne|talk]]) 14:20, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, I meant the nav template. And I warned you it would do that anyway.

No, because as I said, at that time I had already edited the nav, and in the nav page I couldn't preview what was going to happen in the main page... so there's also something I forgot to mention: I deleted a part of the code that I've discovered that in fact it wasn't what you were talking about... but, anyway, I won't search for it again: as I said some time ago, I'll just change it to a lighter color.

==GB Sounds glitch... AGAIN!==

Hey, remember that long conversation we had about the GB Sounds glitch after I discovered it? Remember when at the end we said "case closed"? Well... it's not case closed; the saga goes on! I've made a new discovery, but it is a little confuse, so I guess we should talk about that. Well, here is it:

Some time ago I've published a video with a tutorial about how to perform the glitch, and then I've noticed a weird video about what could possibly be another version of the glitch. Here's the description:

''So... I was online with my friend doing the Battle Frontier. We finished, we go offline. The moment I go offline, I press Y to turn off the GBA Player (an object used to change the BGM to play the 8-bit versions of the songs, for those who don't know) at the same time that Cooltrainer Reena calls me. The message "Turned off the power for GB Sounds" shows up, but instead of the usual pokemon center music returning to play...''

(she says "Battle Frontier", but in fact [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBSQmq-6QQs| the video] shows the Pokémon Center in B1F; also, she said GBA instead of GB; "BGM" means "Background Music".)

Analysing what she said, and what happened in the video, I came up with the idea that I was looking at a new type of the glitch, because in fact I did not discover the GB Sounds glitch, instead I've just discovered what I call the "Cinnabar type". Well, I was facing a second type, which I call... this is where our problems begin: I don't know if the cause of the glitch was really what she said, I mean, if it was because the GB Sounds was turned off at the exact moment someone was calling her (the "Pokégear type"), because she turned it on before she was connected and off after that (the "Wi-fi type"), or because of any other unknown reason.

There is another non-investigated (it requires the answer to the first problem) mystery about this: she mentions an interessing thing about the glitch, which is the fact that, contrary to what happens in the Cinnabar type, this time you can use the Y feature. What if we use it from the bag?

Or maybe she fooled us and this new type doesn't even exist... I think we should both fully investigate this, don't you agree? [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 14:43, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah yeah, another discovery: I found out that the so-called Cinnabar type, the one that I discovered, can be exploited in another way. I was investigating and I found out that in fact you don't need to return to Cinnabar Island after turning on the GB Sounds, I mean, you can remain in Route 20 and then return to the bag and turn it off again, because the glitch will still happen (I've already made that edit in the mainspace). [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 22:35, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

==Q◣==

Hey, I've just noticed that you deleted the article referred in the above title, because it was the same thing as the one named "Q". Let me just tell you what I was doing, because I don't really know if you understood it all: the original article doesn't mention all the name, and it has got the <nowiki> {{incorrect}} </nowiki> template. My plan was to copy everything to the new article, and then to turn the first one into a redirect, so that no one could get lost and the article could have the right title. I guess you didn't know this last part, about the redirect to the new article. So, what's the problem now?

I still need to know some more things about it, so I asked many questions to the publisher, including if the glitch was emulator-only (if it is, then it doesn't count, right?). You can read such comments [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEGHTx-5U4A |here] (the 2 comments by the one named MasterX26681). I'm still waiting for a reply.

== New Gen I glitch pages ==

I've been thinking about writing two pages about glitches in Gen I:

'''1) Glitch Pokédex wrap-around.''' Such as when a species or name of a glitch Pokémon is too long and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/31/RBGlitchDexFA.png wraps-around] the screen and even overwirtes the code for the brown borders.

'''2) Glitch sprite inconsistency.''' I've noticed that glitch sprites ''always'' suprise you. They turn backwards, completely change their appearence, change color, etc. and even just one glitch Pokémon can exhibit all of these traits.

So could I write them? Or are they not notable enough?--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 04:51, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

== Todd ==

Hey again, do you remember that I've suggested about a month ago if a template for [[Todd Snap]] should be made ? Well, have you got the time of taking into discussions with the other admins ? I know that you've been busy that's why I'm asking. --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 08:00, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

== Images? ==
Question for you. I went to upload an image of what the northern exit to [[Opelucid City]] looks like now that [[Unova Route 10|Route 10]] is...well, destroyed by that landslide. Unfortunately, it seems that the common user is not allowed to upload images. I know this is separate from Wikipedia itself (in fact, this is my screenname there as well, and I've made some Pokémon edits recently there too), so I want to ask how we are to get our images on Wikipedia? I did notice in the past while articles were created there were some blank spots for future images, but it seems restrictive to say that anyone with such an image cannot upload it. How can I get that permission?

I myself am a periodic editor who might edit once or twice at a time if I see something while researching that I can improve upon, and am not someone who would monitor an entire area typically, but I want to know I can make improvements as I feel necessary. Obviously they can be reverted (and images even removed) if people disagree. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:21, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
:Images are uploaded on the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], which are located [[a:Main Page|here]]. They were locked at the same time as Bulbapedia was, but were not unlocked with it. At present, they are remaining locked to ease server stress. For now, you can upload images externally and link them to an admin to upload. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 23:05, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
==Dream World-only moves==
Looking through Pokemon pages, a lot of Pokemon have moves in the list that are available through ways other than Dream World. Should they removed? If not, should the name be changed? --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 04:24, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
:I don't have an issue with keeping them (although we might want to consider changing the title from "Dream World-exclusive moves" to "Dream World moves") unless they are available via leveling up. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:28, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, it's really the title that's the problem, since it's a little misleading. If it's decided to change it to Dream World moves, I'd be happy to fix the pages. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 18:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Fire (type)

2012-07-19T14:57:18Z

Treeckofan18: /* Half Fire-type Pokémon */

{{types}}
The '''Fire type''' (Japanese: '''ほのおタイプ''' ''Flame type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Fire-type Pokémon include [[Blaine]] of [[Cinnabar Island]], [[Flannery]] of [[Lavaridge Town]], {{EF|Flint}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], and [[Chili]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Fire-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
The Fire-type has its pros and cons defensively. {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Water}} moves are all very common, while most of the Fire-type's resistances are of little use. Most Fire-type Pokémon will not survive too long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a glass cannon; a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile. The biggest flaw Fire-types have is that no Pokémon of the type had a {{t|Water}} resistant subtype leaving them all vulnerable to Water-type moves, with the exception of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Reshiram}}, which is a dual {{t|Dragon}}/Fire-type.

However, not only does Fire have five resistances, among them being a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Ice}}, but it's also immune to {{status|Burn|burns}}, making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers. Also, most Fire-types can at least learn {{m|SolarBeam}} to counter all three of the type's weaknesses.

===Offense===
Offensively, Fire is very powerful. The ability to deal {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[special moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any [[special moves]] thrown at them. Also, Fire-type moves are generally powerful, with around half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 17 out of 27 having 80 or more. While Fire is resisted by four types, two types are hindered by {{t|Rock|their own bad special defenses}} and {{t|Dragon| relative scarcity}} therefore keeping their moves rather valuable. While Fire-types often have below average defensive stats, they often have high {{stat|Speed|speed}} and {{stat|Attack|attack}} stats, making them great offensive Pokémon. Fire is super effective against four types, tying it with {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}. However, double weaknesses to Ice and Rock are slightly more common, and Ground and Fighting hit even more types super-effectively, also the extremely powerful fire type moves like {{m|Overheat}}, {{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|V-create}} have major drawbacks, whereas Ice and Rock types do not. Despite this, Fire is unique in that it is the only type that can cause {{p|Paras|quintuple}} {{p|Parasect|damage}}, due to the combination of a double weakness and the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, and possess higher offensive stats compared to Ice and Rock types. Many Fire-types can now learn Grass attacks, which can make double resistances to Fire useless (in this case, Water/Rock types, who are doubly weak to Grass).

===Contest Properties===

When used in Contests, Fire-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Tough Contest|Tough]] or [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|48|51 including Castform, Rotom, and Darmanitan's forms}} Fire-type Pokémon or {{tt|7.40%|7.86% including Castform, Rotom, and Darmanitan's forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the ninth most common type.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], all fifteen Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* In the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]], with no damage reduction unlike in the rain, and Fire types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type|Grass}} attacks.
* Up until Generation V, every Fire-type starter family had at least one member whose English name begins with a C.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the relative lack of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire types (the {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Rapidash|forms}} of those two lines). This was changed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] condition uses the same shade of orange in its status screen icon as the Fire type's icon does, despite being described as red in-text. However, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* Fire is the only starter type where its respective starter Pokémon lines have not been of the same color category each generation. The {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Tepig}} lines are in the Red color category, however the {{p|Cyndaquil}} line is in the Yellow color category, and the {{p|Chimchar}} line is in the Brown color category.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation not to have introduced at least one Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
* Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras}} family's double weakness to fire paired with their Ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}, which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves.
* Generation V introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any Generation, with {{tt|15|including Rotom's Heat form}} and Generation IV introduced the least Fire-type Pokémon, with five.
* Fire types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire types respectively.
* Fire types are rare, with only 26 fully-[[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon among the total amount of 48, of which there are six [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] and five [[starter Pokémon]].
** Technically, this means that only fifteen Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature.
* Generation V introduced the most Fire-type moves of any Generation, with 11 and Generation II introduced the least Fire-type moves, with three.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} Pokémon.

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

Charizard is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolutions, it has wings that can allow it to fly. Charizard is a very {{t|dragon}}-like Pokémon. Like its {{p|Charmander|previous}} {{p|Charmeleon|forms}}, it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal and has a long tail}} with a fire burning at the tip. It has extremely sharp claws, a long neck, and two horns protruding from the back of its head. The front of its two wings is teal, while the back is orange like the most of its body. Although hardly visible, Charizard's iris is light blue in color. Its belly and the undersides of its feet are cream-colored.

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

===Special abilities===
As its pre-evolutions could, it can use a variety of {{type|Fire}} moves. Being the last evolution of a {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], Charizard has the ability to learn {{m|Blast Burn}}. Its fire is incredibly hot, and described to be hot enough to melt boulders. Because of the wings it has grown upon evolution, Charizard can fly and can use many {{type|Flying}} abilities, and its wings are able to carry it close to an altitude of 4,600 feet.

Even though Charizard is not a dragon type it has access to {{type|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|DragonBreath}}, and {{m|Dragon Rage}} as well as {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. It also is able to use many variations of clawing moves such as {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and can expel {{m|SmokeScreen|obscuring smoke}} to lower the accuracy of its opponent.

Since Charizard is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle, and spends a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe unless provoked or commanded. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a bluish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires with its flames. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are. Charizard has been depicted in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'' to repeatedly lick the people and Pokémon it is fond of, in a similar manner to a dog.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes. One is also most likely able to find them in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Its fierce appearance and disposition may suggest that it is mostly carnivorous, but like most Pokémon, it can subsist on the typical omnivorous diet most Pokémon share.

==In the anime==
[[File:Charizard anime.png|thumb|right|230px|Charizard in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Charizard]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', where Charizard saved Ash from the claws of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash and was a burden which Ash still cared for. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then.

====[[Charla]]====
Liza of the Characific Valley owns her own Charizard, called Charla. It has a romantic relationship with Ash's Charizard.

====Other====
In ''[[SS017|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help [[Corey Demario]] and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', {{TR|Delibird}} gave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Charizard}} and an {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting Charizard and James getting Aggron. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

===Minor appearances===
Charizard first appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', however it was a fake mechanical robot.

A real Charizard made its debut in a flashback in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Charizard}} that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was seen on TV in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Charizard appeared in ''[[EP203|The Screen Actor's Guilt]]'' in [[Vidso]]'s fantasy.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.

A Trainer used a Charizard in the {{to|Fallarbor}} [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]''.

A Charizard appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Multiple Charizard appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' as part of the feuding armies.

Charizard along with its [[Team A.C.T.|teammates]] had a cameo in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. They were considered for the job of rescuing Big Brother Pikachu but were unavailable as they were already on another mission.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

====Melee trophy information====
''It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny {{p|Charmander}}. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, {{m|Flamethrower}}, is a reliable technique.''"

====Special moves====
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Charizard will learn {{m|Blast Burn}} at level 99 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points. If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 99, Blast Burn will still be available at the Move Relearner.

==Trivia==
* Charizard shares its exact base stats with {{p|Typhlosion}}. They are one of several Pokémon that have the same base stats where the values are not distributed equally across every stat, as seen in several [[legendary Pokémon]] with straight-100 base stats. Another example of this is between {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}.
* Charizard has the same [[cry]] as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]]; it is the first one to appear in the original opening credits. However, outside of Japan, this honor belongs to {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* Charizard is the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series that transitioned from a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon to a playable character.
* Charizard is the only playable Stage-2 Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
* Charizard was the focus of a [[Charizard Pokémon Center promotion (2010)|Pokémon Center promotion]] in April 2010.
* Charizard is the only dual-typed {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose secondary type is not {{t|Fighting}}.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to gain a type upon evolution.
* Charizard was unable to learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]] in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This was changed starting with {{v2|Yellow}}, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard was voted as the favorite Pokémon by [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] readers in February 2012.
* Charizard was voted the number one Pokémon in IGN's "Top 100 Pokemon" list in late 2011.

===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends. Charizard's prominence as a dragon without being of the {{t|Dragon}} type is further reinforced in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, where one makes a cameo as one of four prominently featured {{wp|classical element|patron elemental}} dragon Pokémon. The other three Pokémon sharing this distinguishing trait are legitimate Dragon-type Pokémon: {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, and {{p|Flygon}}. The patronage of these four dragons is inspired from the four {{wp|classical element}}s: {{wp|Air (classical element)|Air}}, {{wp|Water (classical element)|Water}}, {{wp|Earth (classical element)|Earth}}, and {{wp|Fire (classical element)|Fire}}, with Charizard being the representative of Fire. It shares some evolutionary traits with Charmeleon in its distinctive horns; also a distinct trait in some dragons.

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

Lizardon is a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''don'' (Ancient Greek for ''tooth'', commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names).
