== Trouble with [[Hidden Grotto]] page ==

{{u|Lady Ariel}} is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&diff=2049933&oldid=2049908 showing] herself [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&diff=2050166&oldid=2049989 determined] to undo my fixes for the roundy bits of the table in the [[Hidden Grotto#Items in each Hidden Grotto|Items in each Hidden Grotto]] section on the [[Hidden Grotto]] page. (I also forgot that other tables on that page need the same fixes, but I'd expect to encounter the same resistance if I try to fix those right now.) Without the changes I made, the roundy templates ([[Template:roundytl]], etc.) end up having ''no effect'' whatsoever on the table; you can take out those templates/styles and the table looks exactly the same. In order for them to work, the row cannot have a background color style, and the cells must each have it instead. If you look carefully at the tables in the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2050166#Items_in_each_Hidden_Grotto before] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2049989#Items_in_each_Hidden_Grotto after] revisions, you can see that the corners are actually round in the before version with my edits.

Can you impress on Lady Ariel that she has no call to undo those fixes of mine? ...Or am I somehow not as right as I think? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:20, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
:Looks like you're right there. Your version is visually the correct one, and it's not like the extra ~250 bytes cause some issues. So I think you can add it back. If Ariel still disagrees, she should take part in the discussion.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:39, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
::The corners are identical in both versions (using Safari and Chrome). It is possible to have the background color set for the entire row and have rounded corners for individual cells. In addition I changed the color scheme of the tables. The actual edit I just did is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2050253 here], which makes the table borders less blocky (similar background and border colors in the old versions) and removes unnecessary coding. Also the way I re-coded those few cells is how a majority of tables are coded on Bulbapedia. Should I take pictures of the corners of the cells and provide them or should it be reverted to my recent edit?

:::Looking at your revision in Chromium, I now see why you've been undoing my changes. The problem is, in Firefox, my changes actually ''do'' change the way the tables display.
:::As I mentioned when I reverted it, you're entirely welcome to redo any of the changes that don't affect the roundy fixes (as above: each cell in a roundy row has to have its own background color, and the row cannot have a background color); I just didn't have the patience to sort out your new changes from the roundy stuff myself, or redo the roundy stuff.

::::It is like to the colspan issue with tables, which is caused when a table has a number set for colspan that is greater than the number of columns some browsers display a gap and others don't. I will go ahead and change the tables then (leaving the roundy now that we know it is a browser issue). However, finding the countless number of tables that use the coding I used on the Hidden Grotto page won't be easy.

==Silcoon and Cascoon==
Both of them having the same base stats, type, learnset and Ability all seem rather obvious with them being counterparts in the same evolutionary family. Metapod and Kakuna also have the same base stat total, learnset and Ability (and share at least ''one'' type, since Kakuna is dual Bug/Poison). Seems to me, the trivia should be combined, but with the shared species trivia being uniform throughout all the species' pages, I'm not sure if it should be merged, a separate trivia point, or a subsequent trivia point. What say you? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 15:06, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:It's not that obvious considering that ''Beautifly and Dustox'' don't have ''any'' of those similarities.

== Edit Block ==

I was wondering if the amount of time on the ban increases with each consecutive ban?

Also on the ban notice it tells me to write on your page to discuss the ban with you, but isn't that redundent since I can't edit/talk on your page while I'm banned? I had to wait till the ban was over, but I just joined today so I'm probably just missing something! I look forward to hearing back from you.

== Fur Coat and Psyshock ==

As we know, Furfrou's signature Ability, {{a|Fur Coat}}, halves the damage taken from Physical moves. But there seems to be a little confusion at the page does this affect the damage taken from Special moves that inflict Physical damage, such as {{m|Psyshock}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}. I don't know the answer myself, nor am I able to research it effectively, so I decided to ask someone else, and since I trust you as a fellow Bulbapedia user and Finn, I decided to try and ask you if you know the answer. If not, that's fine. I'll just have to ask someone else in that case. Whichever way it goes, thank you in advance. :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:10, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

== Wonder Guard blocks OHKOs?? ==

I'm rather skeptical that the Wonder Guard Ability actually blocks OHKOs just like Sturdy does. I'm under the impression that the only reason OHKOs don't work on Shedinja is because Shedinja simply isn't weak to any of Normal, Ground, or Ice. To test this, it might be necessary to either hack or do some fancy stuff with Trace/Reflect Type/blah to get, say, an Electric-type with Wonder Guard, and see if it's still immune to Fissure. If Fissure can hit an Electric-type with Wonder Guard, then Wonder Guard does not inherently block OHKOs; it's simply blocking them since they aren't normally super effective. As far as I know, there is no easy way to pull off such a test, save hacking. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 02:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

== Previewing ==
I know to preview my page first before saving it. But the glitch I kept encountering on the page in question would only appear after I saved it. I would preview the page, everything looked okay, and then saved it only to find that odd garbled code at the end.

== Incorrect edit on your part (AG093) ==

I'm sorry to tell you that the edit of mine that you undid is actually correct. Your edit summary: "AG043 was the first completely accurate one" is completely irrelevant to what I actually posted. I posted that [[AG093]] is the first episode to use the new and more accurate Pokémon Trainer's Choice. This is correct and backed up by the actual [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice|Trainer's Choice page]] which states:

''In Pokémon: Advanced Battle, the creation of questions for Trainer's Choice was credited to Lawrence Neves and the accuracy rate greatly improved. During this season, the variety in the types of questions being asked expanded beyond simply type match-ups and evolutionary lines, as well as featuring more difficult questions. ''

As you should know by now, AG093 was the first episode of the Advanced Battle season and as a corollary, the first to contain the new Trainer's Choice by Lawrence Neves. I ask that you revert your edit to my post.

== Floette's gender ==

I originally added AZ's Floette's gender as female because of her being an all-female species. I removed it as I found out in one of the revisions that an admin removed it and I wanted to play it safe to avoid getting yelled at. I do agree with you though about Floette being an all-female species, not like the legendary Pokémon in the anime (and possibly Pokémon Adventures) having genders even though their status is normally genderless. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

:Since we don't have Gen VI sprites for Xerneas and Yveltal, I think it's better to use artwork to keep things consistent. As a completely unrelated note, [[User:Cinday123/Generation VII Stuff#Mega Evolutions|you have pretty nice predictions]], but Mega Pokémon cannot use {{a|Magician}}, Water Absorb Mega Azumarill is just weaker than Huge Power Azumarill, and Insomnia Mega Slaking is too broken.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 10:52, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== Type/stat superlative trivia ==

If the type pages aren't the place for it, is there ''any''thing we can do to cut down on the massive waste of space these trivia comprise? Perhaps mainspacing [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Pokémon with the highest base stats of their type]] would be an acceptable substitute for having the trivia sprawled across 120+ separate pages? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:20, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
:(For the record, in addition to my concern about the space-wasting nature of these trivia, there's also the fact that 120+ pages is simply impossible to manage with any reasonable amount of fact-checking or new-generation upkeep. For instance, just among the three types I got through, Hawlucha hadn't had the trivium added to its page yet, and Pirouette Meloetta still had out-of-date Gen V trivia even though it was unseated by Mega Mewtwo X. It's just not feasible to have these trivia spread across so many pages.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:29, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
::That's pretty good point, though your page isn't ''that'' much easier to keep up to date. Anyways, I think it's a good idea to mainspace the page whether we remove the trivia from the individual articles. Though I wonder why Megas that are beaten only by legendaries are omitted, for example Mega Abomasnow has the highest Attack and Special Attack of all non-legendary Ice types but isn't listed. Also, there should't be highest stat trivia that excludes ''both'' Megas and legendaries on individual pages, like Hawlucha having the highest Speed.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 00:20, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
:::It's in one place instead of 120+, which makes it 120+ times easier to keep up-to-date as long as someone remembers to do it. As for the page's content, are Megas-surpassed-by-legends the only group I should add to the table, or should I also add legends-surpassed-by-Megas? And should I remove normals-surpassed-by-legends/Megas altogether, or is that worth keeping in the table but not individual trivia sections? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:30, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
::::IMO we shouldn't give Megas any special treatment and just treat them as non-legendaries (or legendaries in case of Mewtwo and Latis when they're available). Some may argue that they're treated differently because of their high stats, but for example Slaking and pseudo-legendaries have higher bst than many Megas. So I think legends-surpassed-by-Megas and "normals"-surpassed-by-legends/Megas are not needed.

Plainly speaking, what's notable and what's not? I present to you the {{DL|Emboar (Pokémon)|Trivia}} section of Emboar's article, which thinks it's notable to say that Emboar has the highest HP but lowest Defense and Special Defense of all starters, is the heaviest and has the lowest BST of all final-evo Fire-type starters (a group with 6 members), and is the only final-evo Unova starter with a second type (a group with 3 members). Surely a line needs to be drawn. The only thing [[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy/Species]] rules on is that Emboar's tie with Sceptile for lowest Defense isn't notable. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 05:57, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

== Writing Myths as a Section ==

As many hardcore Pokémon fans know, myths make up a huge part of the fandom. Myths about Pokémon, people, the past, the Great Pokémon War- plenty of myths for each and every one of those topics, Lavender Town being the largest myth generator of them all. Does adding myths as their own section make sense? Perhaps with or after the Trivia?

== Please help me figure this out? ==

Ok, so I'm trying to figure out the values Rare Soda, Ultra Rare Soda and Colurful Shakes add to a Pokémon's friendship.

As you know, I am not good with math as stated multiple times, and I remember you said you were a Math Major.

I used various lv 1 Eevee in the experiment, but that shouldn't hold any real baring on the results.

37 rare candies = evolution at lv 38

colorful shake (2,200) + 29 rare candies = Evolution at lv 30

colorful shake (2,200) + blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Cheri Berry) + 21 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 22

colorful shake (2,200) + blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Chilan Berry) + 18 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 19

colorful shake (2,200) + blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Roseli Berry) + 18 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 19

colorful shake (2,200) + blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Ganlon Berry) + 18 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 19

blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Cheri Berry) + 28 rare candies = Evolution at lv 29

blended colorful shake (Cheri Berry + Chilan Berry) + 31 rare candies = Evolution at lv 32

blended colorful shake (Chesto Berry + Chople Berry) + 31 rare candies = Evolution at lv 32

blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Chilan Berry) + 25 rare candies = Evolution at lv 26

blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Roseli Berry) + 25 rare candies = Evolution at lv 26

blended colorful shake (Starf Berry + Ganlon Berry) + 25 rare candies = Evolution at lv 26

colorful shake (3,000) + 27 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 28

colorful shake (3,000) + Rare Soda (3 lvs) + 25 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 29

colorful shake (3,000) + Ultra Rare Soda (5 lvs) + 25 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 31

colorful shake (3,400) + 25 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 26

Rare Sode (3 lvs) + 35 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 39

Ultra Rare Sode (5 lvs) + 35 Rare Candies = Evolution at lv 41

Ultra Rare Soda (5 lvs) + Rare Soda (3 lvs) + 34 rare candies = Evolution at lv 43

Ultra Rare Soda (5 lvs) + Rare Soda (3 lvs) + 24 rare candies given at place met/hatched = Evolution at lv 33

I know Eevee has a base friendship value of 70 and evolves with max friendship, but every time I try to do the math, I over shoot the limit friendship stops growing. So given this small amount of data, can you please help me figure out the (rough) values of Rare Soda, Ultra Rare Soda and Colurful Shake?

::I think we're on two different pages here?
::This shouldn't require any flying at all, just math which I am not good with.
::I know that Rare candies gives a Pokémon +5 until it reaches 100 value of friendship. they also gain +5 for each level they go up until their friendship value is 100 as well. Between values 100-199 it only increases +3 for every vitamin and lv up, then +2 when the friendship value hits 200 up until the max value at 255.
::A Eevee starts with its friendship at 70, and 37 rare candies max out friendship and induce the evolution to Espeon or Umbreon depending on time of day.
::If I am correct, 1 rare candy alone should raise Eevee's friendship from 70 to 80. 2 rare candies will get you to 90. Then when it's at a value of 99 it only increases by 3 instead of 5.

::If you give the Eevee a Colorful Shake that cost 2.200 Pokédollars, instead of 37 rare candies by themselves, you only need 29 rare candies to get Eevee to try and evolve. That means the Colorful shake is about the same value as 8 rare candies/lv ups. That is something like 35-36 value or something like that.

::The work has been done, its just the math that is being tricky, at least for me. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:46, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I went to the friendship rater and did some test with an lv 1 Eevee of the GTS

Base Friendship of 70 + 6 rare candies = 100~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + 23 rare candies = 150~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Colorful Shake (3,000) = 100~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Colorful Shake (3,000) + 17 Rare Candies = 150~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) = 70-89

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 5 Rare Candies = 100~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 21 Rare Candies = 150~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 38 Rare Candies = 200~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Ultra Rare Soda (3lvs boost) = 70-89

Base Friendship of 70 + Ultra Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 6 Rare Candies = 100~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 22 Rare Candies = 150~ Friendship

Base Friendship of 70 + Rare Soda (3lvs boost) + 38 Rare Candies = 200~ Friendship

So it would seem that the Colorful Shake that costs 3,000 pokedollars is likely 30 points of friendship.

Rare Soda seems to be worth the same a 1 rare candy it seem. However it looks like judging from all the data...the Ultra Rare Soda takes away friendship or doesn't give as much friendship as Rare soda? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:48, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to know what makes the diffrence here frok Wikipedia. [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 18:15, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:Mostly to not give others any ideas, I think. Some vandal edits may also be pretty offensive and our readers are generally younger than Wikipedia's. While that edit on Makuhita wasn't so offensive, it's not like keeping it visible for everyone would contribute anything (other than getting somebody giggle, but that's not what Bulbapedia is for).--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Moving to Mainspace ==

Asking here before doing anything. As I have never made a side page or moved a page to the mainspace I was curious as to how the process works and if I have permission or if staff is the only ones allowed to move pages. Any info on how the process would be greatly appreciated for future reference. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
:Well, there aren't really any rules against anyone mainspacing an article (or even creating one directly to the mainspace) if it's clearly notable and is not very poor in quality, and your articles fulfill that criteria. So if you ask me, you could already move them to mainspace and then edit them to unhide mainspace-only stuff and remove userspace templates. Of course if you're not sure, you can always contact an active (note that not everyone marked "Active" on the staff page is actually active in practice) high-ranking staff member specialicing in the article's subject.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:50, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

== Moving and naming pages for mainspacing ==

Hi, I tried to move some voice actor articles to the mainspace but when I tried, it claimed that another page has it's name and so the page cannot be mainspaced. However the page in particular(specifically Wataru Takagi) is a redirect to the List of Japanese voice actors page. So is there a way to possibly rename the redirect in order to allow my article to be mainspaced please(note that it has already been discussed with Pokemaster97 that the articles subject of the voice actors are notably enough to be mainspaced)? Thanks.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 08:01, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
:I have moved those pages to mainspace. It was in fact impossible to move them without help of someone with page deletion powers (i.e. admin or higher) because it's the only way to get rid of the redirects.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:24, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
::Interesting, didn't know that. Gee, thanks for mainspacing the articles along with the other ones I made. Much appreciated. Also sorry about a while back for throwing in the totem page that Scizor was the only one not able to be found in the natural area. Forgot all about Charjabug.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

== Type effectiveness ==

Hi there. As you may or may not know, we currently have type effectiveness info spread across three different pages, i.e. [[damage]], [[type]], and [[Type/Type chart]]. "Type/Type chart" was apparently intended to kinda work like a subpage, but I guess it is implicitly clear that it should work as an independent page (and, in fact, despite its title, it is not in [[:Category:Subpages]]); currently, that page basically repeats what "type" says, then adds past generations' type charts, while the section at "damage" mentions "super effective" etc., but has no details like "¼ damage" or type charts (but details on GO that appear to be exclusive to that page).

I hope you see my issue, but before I continue with my proposal, I propose you may take a short break and open-mindedly/unbiasedly consider what a good solution will be for a few moments.

My goal is to reduce what information is presented at "damage" to a bare minimum (basically, that's the bullet point and a link), to have "type" still display the current type chart and the idea (because type interaction is an essential part of "type"), and to have all the details somewhere else. And I think a really good solution is to have a page on type effectiveness that combines what is now spread across those pages (''roughly'' similar to {{STAB}}), and is linked to from both "type" (via {{template|main}}) and "damage" (pretty much how it's done already, except the info wouldn't be "detailed below"). Would/could you approve that? (Also, me posting this here should in no way deter SnorlaxMonster or really anyone else from chiming in if desired.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:33, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:All of your propositions make more or less sense to me. The "Type effectiveness" section at [[damage]] indeed looks out of place and I'm for removing it. However (albeit not a bad idea), rather than having a page named "Type effectiveness" for detailed information about super-effectiveness etc. and all type charts, I think all that information would also fit into the [[type]] article just fine. And if old type charts make the article seem too long, they could be put under a show/hide button.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:17, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
::Thanks for your help, that'd be a great solution as well! Actually, I had assumed there was a solid reason why it was initially subpaged (article size etc.), but [[Special:LongPages|as that doesn't seem to be the case]], sure. (The only downside I still see is that I guess show/hide buttons don't work without Javascript, and it's not the bottom of the page in this case.)
::May I propose you take care of merging the two "type"s then (since I lack your powers), and I'll take care of what's at damage thereafter? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:40, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:::Um, I was just telling my opinion on the matter. While doing the said content removal to [[damage]] and re-redirecting words like "[[super effective]]" could be done already (it's dumb how "[[type effectiveness]]" redirects to [[type]] while effectiveness messages redirect to damage), merging articles is something I'm fairly sure needs wider staff approval.

:::So I think you should add {{template|merge}} to [[Type/Type chart]] and add a talk page section about the merge, stating your reasons and maybe linking to this dicussion. That way the issue can get more attention from staff and non-staff alike and get an actual resolution.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:33, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Well, I admit there's a little hope you had access to something that could help.. speed things up a little? (Anyway, I don't want to pressure you personally; I'm kinda happy with what you already did.)
::::I'll officially propose the merge then. I'd like to wait with moving the damage stuff for a couple days, cause ''if'' there's approval for the merge within the next week or so, it's really easier to start there. (And it'll be quite some work either way.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:24, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

==Mainspacing VA articles==

Hi there, I have some articles on voice actors that I'd like to be mainspaced. When a time is convenient, are you able to mainspace the articles for me please? I'm unable to as you said in a previous message, only those with admin powers can delete redirects. The pages can be found on my userpage under the 'pages made but currently in userspace'. Thanks(note that it has already been discussed with Pokemaster97 that the articles subject of the voice actors are notably enough to be mainspaced).[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 01:48, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
:I moved all of them but Rintaro Nishi's page, as he has had a role only in one episode. I've also edited all moved pages to fit into the mainspace, but I'm not going to do relinking.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 07:45, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

:The intro and infobox need some editing and the Character section is empty, but otherwise it looks good.

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place to write about this, but previously this page (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vermilion_City#Generation_I) told me that I can catch Shellder lvl 10 at Vermilion Harbor in Pokemon Yellow with Super Rod. However, it seems that this info was wrong, because if the "harbor" is the long part of the bridge, then there is only 2 pokemon available: Tentacool and Horsea just like in Vermilion City. But if the "harbor" is the short part of the bridge just before the S.S.Anne, then that part of the bridge is unavailable when I finally get the Super Rod because the ship has already left and the guy blocks me from going there. Also in order to get the Super Rod I need to have Cut which means that I must complete the S.S Anne part first. I know I can get Shellder elsewhere but I wanted to get the lvl 10 one.

==Brick Piece==
I always thought it was interesting that when you traded a RBY Machop over to GSC, it arrived with a trade-only item called a 'Brick Piece'. It appears to have no purpose, but it only recently occurred to me that there could be a link between this guy in Vermilion owning a Machop, and needing materials to finish his house... could be a coincidence, I suppose, but I never thought to investigate. Does anyone know if there is a link? -Timothy.
:There is no link. Brick Piece has no purpose, except to pad out certain values from RBY (IIRC the traded held item is based off the RBY catch rate). [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 07:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

==Vermilion Port==
Does anyone want to bring up the fact that with the construction of the Cycling Road, aka [[Route_17]], which doesn't feature a drawbridge, it's impossible for Vermilion City to ACTUALLY be a port in any video game it's featured in? Just a thought for the trivia section... [[User:Seiyaryen|Seiyaryen]] 03:17, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

== Spelling of "vermilion" ==

Although the in-game spelling of the city's name is "Vermilion" with one 'L', I always assumed this to be a text limit restriction. As "vermilion" and "vermillion" are interchangeable spellings, should we take note of this? [[User:TailsDM|TailsDM]] 23:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
:No. It's still a correct spelling. Unlike Feraligatr. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:56, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

== Hey guys, I found some Unobtanium! ==

So I was running around Vermillion in Pokémon Gold, using my ItemFinder everywhere in an attempt to find that confounded lost Pokédoll for the Copycat — and I went into the Vermillion Harbor and I got a beep.
I searched all around in the only area I could access, and then I realized: the item was inaccessible.
SO, in a fit of frustration (and curiosity at what in blue-thundering-blazes the item really ''was''), I fired up Pokémon Gold in an emulator and walked through walls all the way to Vermillion to find out.
And guess what?
[http://nekomimi.cx/~kizul/vermillionharbor.png It's the Iron that's also hidden (in a similar location) in HeartGold/SoulSilver]! :D
Too bad I'll never be able to obtain it without a GameShark… :(

== Layouts ==

Doesn't this article need the layouts for Vermilion City? Other places in the series on this website have layouts of every generation they're included in. There's also files on this website that show the layout of the city in all generations, and they say that the Vermilion City article page links to those files, when it doesn't.
Is this a flaw? I don't know if this would be considered an issue or not, but I personally think these articles should show all layouts for the cities or towns in the series' main games. [[User:Korbel|Korbel]] ([[User talk:Korbel|talk]])
:It's in the infobox under "Other generation maps". Just click the show button. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

'''Vermilion City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|クチバシティ}}''' ''Kuchiba City'') is a city in [[Kanto]].

Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the [[S.S. Anne]]. Vermilion Harbor is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The [[S.S. Aqua]] sails from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]] to Vermilion Harbor. The [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]] sail regularly to all of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Aside from the harbor, the other exits to the city are {{rt|11|Kanto}} and [[Diglett's Cave]] to the east. North of the city is {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The Port of Exquisite Sunsets''''' (Japanese, Generations I-III, VII: '''{{j|クチバはオレンジ{{tt|夕焼|ゆうや}}けの{{tt|色|いろ}}}}''' ''Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.''; Generation IV: '''{{j|ゆうやけいろのみなとまち}}''' ''The sunset-colored port town.'')

==Places of interest==
Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Electric}}-specialist [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of {{p|Grimer}} could occur if the seas were ever polluted, as [[Celadon City]] suffers from this in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] appear in the sea around the city.

Vermilion is also home to the {{pkmn|Fan Club Chairman}}. He can be found in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] house located just slightly north of the [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. By talking to him, the {{player}} can obtain a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] for a free [[bicycle|bike]], the only way to obtain a bike since the price of {{PDollar}}1,000,000 is impossible to pay.

===Pokémon Fan Club===

{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Pokémon Fan Club}}
{{sign|DPcity|All Pokémon Fans Welcome!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Kanto]] chapter of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is located in Vermilion. The [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every [[region]]. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.

By talking to the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|Fan Club Chairman]] he will start a long talk with the {{player}}. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} at length and then gives the {{player}} a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] to get a [[bicycle]]. In {{game|Yellow}} he got a new hobby - taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse. He appears again in [[Generation II]] and its {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}} in the same place. Again, he talks about his {{p|Rapidash}} and gives the player a [[Rare Candy]] for listening to his story.

===Vermilion Gym===
{{main|Vermilion Gym}}
[[File:Vermilion Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Vermilion Gym]]
The Vermilion Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Vermilion City. Its [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], focuses on {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Thunder}}. The [[Vermilion Gym]] appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in [[Generation I]], and an electric fence in [[Generation III]]. The only way to get in the final room in these [[generation]]s, where [[Lt. Surge]] is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the {{player}} incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In [[Generation II]], these traps are not turned on. After [[Lt. Surge]] is defeated, he will give the {{player}} the Thunder Badge, {{TM|34|Shock Wave}} or {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} in [[Generation I]], and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.

===Construction site===
In the northeastern part of the city, there is an old man whose {{p|Machop}} is preparing a plot of land for construction of a building. They still have not finished three years after he started in [[Generation I]], as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause [[Glitch dimension|a glitch]] in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation IV]], the construction site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game; there are many [[breakable rock]]s surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as [[Shard]]s, [[Heart Scale]]s, and other [[valuable item]]s.

===In-game trade===
In one of the houses south and a little east of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Spearow}}. The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "<sc>Ch'ding</sc>" ("<sc>Dux</sc>" in [[Generation I]]), and it will be holding a [[Leek|Stick]]. The [[Original Trainer|OT]] will be "<sc>Elyssa</sc>" and its [[Trainer ID number|ID]] will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded.

Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, <sc>Ch'ding</sc>'s [[original Trainer]] data defines <sc>Elyssa</sc> as male. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if <sc>Ch'ding</sc> is [[trade]]d to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or transferred forward to [[Generation V]] (via [[Pal Park]] and [[Poké Transporter]]), the OT name is shown colored blue.

===Fishing Brother===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, a man known as the Fishing Guru can be found in Vermilion City who gives away an [[Old Rod]] to the player. Later (in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}), he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the [[Fishing Brothers]].

===Sleeping Pokémon notice===
There's a notice in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}} near the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] about a {{p|Snorlax|sleeping Pokémon}} that's blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}}, advising people wishing to go to [[Lavender Town]] to detour through the [[Rock Tunnel]] instead in the meantime.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red and Blue===

==Differences among generations==
[[File:Vermilion City port HGSS.png|thumb|Vermilion Port in [[Generation IV]]]]
Much has changed from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]]. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] has been redesigned and expanded. The [[S.S. Anne]]'s port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In [[Generation II]] nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into {{rt|11|Kanto}} near [[Diglett's Cave]] and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the [[S.S. Aqua]] transports passengers to and from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, Trainers had to use a [[Pokégear]] tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the [[Generation II]] games. In [[Generation IV]], the [[Diglett's Cave]] is pushed back to {{rt|11|Kanto}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Vermilion City makes two appearances: the Seaside (Red Field) and the Streets (Blue Field).

In the [[Red Field]], called "Vermilion City Seaside", catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Krabby}}.

In the [[Blue Field]], called "Vermilion City Streets", catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include: {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Krabby}} and {{p|Pinsir}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Vermilion City SS.png|thumb|250px|Vermilion City in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s {{series|new}}]]
===In the main series===
Vermilion City debuted in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where Ash battled Lt. Surge for his third Badge. The harbor appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', when {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} boarded the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].

[[O]] has a Pokémon Ping-Pong center, where he is training [[Dawn's Ambipom]], in Vermilion City.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}}' tour of the [[Decolore Islands]] ended at Vermilion City. The city was shown to have a local train station, with {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} taking the train to [[Saffron City]] in order to board the [[Magnet Train]] there. [[Alexa]] also bought {{p|Cloyster}} boxed lunches for the two, which is exclusively sold in Vermilion City.

In the [[new series]], Vermilion City has a prominent role. [[Professor Sakuragi]]'s aptly-named [[Sakuragi Institute]] was officially opened there in [[SS002]]. {{an|Go}} and Ash became Sakuragi's [[Professors' aides|research assistants]] after documenting their chance encounter with a {{p|Lugia}}, and currently reside at the Sakuragi Institute. Professor Sakuragi's daughter [[Koharu]] also lives in the city and attends a local school.

In [[SS003]], an outbreak of {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}, a part of natural phenomena known as the "Ivysaur march", was causing traffic and minor chaos across the city. The {{t|Grass}} Pokémon made their way to their former grassland, to the north of Vermilion, which is now a construction site for a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}. After scaling the building, the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur [[Evolution|evolved]] together and released pollen into the air, causing all of the city's flowers to bloom.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Although Vermilion City was never properly seen in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited it prior to the events of ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. During his visit, he obtained the [[HM]] for {{m|Cut}} from the captain of [[S.S. Anne]] and earned the {{badge|Thunder}} by defeating Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Vermilion City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Vermilion City in Pokémon Adventures]]
Vermilion City is split into two main areas; the center city and the harbor. The [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club]] headquarters is located in the center city. Some of the citizens are {{tc|Poké Fan}}s and {{tc|Sailor}}s.

===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Vermilion City first appeared in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' and ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]''. After arriving, {{adv|Red}} learned that many people in the city had gotten their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} stolen. Red decided to investigate the [[S.S. Anne]], where he learned that the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], was behind the thefts and was using the ship to transport the stolen Pokémon away. Surge almost succeeded in drowning Red, but was saved by his newly evolved [[Poli]]wrath. Although Surge managed to get away, his Sailor underlings were arrested and the stolen Pokémon aboard the ship were returned to their rightful owners.

===={{chap|Yellow}}====
Vermilion City reappeared in ''[[PS057|Ekans the Ecstasy]]''. Just when {{adv|Yellow}} arrived there aboard the S.S. Anne, which was now transporting passengers instead of stolen Pokémon, the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] sabotaged the ship. Although Yellow was able to save all of the passengers, the ship was still sunk at the harbor.

In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told Yellow of a legend about an underwater dome at the bottom of the Vermilion Harbor. Inside the dome was supposedly a set of unique [[Evolutionary stone]]s that didn't disappear after being used, with one of these stones being behind the [[Evolution]] of Red's Poliwrath three years earlier. Yellow was later lead to the dome by a {{p|Tentacruel}}, only to find out that the [[Thunder Stone|Thunder]], [[Water Stone|Water]], and [[Fire Stone]]s were missing, meaning that she wasn't the first one to have found the place.

In ''[[PS060|Breath of Dragonair Part 1]]'', while thinking about a way to cross the ocean without {{m|Surf}}, Yellow learned of a surfing contest, where the main prize was going to be a {{p|Dragonair}}, an excellent Pokémon for crossing the sea. However, before the contest could even begin, the "prize" Dragonair started attacking everyone, as it actually belonged to [[Lance]], who used its {{m|Hyper Beam}} to obliterate most of Vermilion City, as he claimed it was obstructing his view. When Lance started to leave, Yellow gave chase. Lance proved to be an overwhelmingly strong opponent and sent Yellow sinking into the sea. However, thanks to [[Pika]] learning Surf, Yellow was able to save herself from drowning and start crossing the sea.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS270|Now You See Me...]]'', Red and {{adv|Blue}} flew to Vermilion to board the [[Seagallop]] for [[One Island]]. In ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]'', the Seagallop returned to Vermilion, carrying Blue, {{adv|Green}}, [[Green's parents]], [[Lorelei]], [[Ultima]], and {{adv|Professor Oak}}, at the same time that the [[Team Rocket airship]], which Red was trying to control, was about to crash somewhere in Vermilion. Although Red was able to prevent {{p|Forretress}} aboard the airship from {{m|Explosion|exploding}}, the aircraft still nearly crash-landed, but thankfully, {{adv|Mew}} was able to lower it safely to the ground. Afterwards, [[Sird]] appeared on the scene, attempting to make one last attempt to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}, but although she failed, the clash between {{p|Darkrai|her Pokémon}} and {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attacks led to the [[Pokédex holder]]s present being turned to stone.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[File:Vermilion City Zensho.png|thumb|200px|Vermilion City in Pokémon Zensho]]
Vermilion City appeared in ''[[PZ04|Vermilion City]]'', where it was visited by {{zensho|Satoshi}}. With the [[S.S. Ticket]] he had received from [[Bill]], he visited the [[S.S. Anne]] and met the ship's seasick captain. After the captain had recovered from his seasickness, he talked with Satoshi for a while, before Satoshi headed to the [[Vermilion Gym]] to challenge [[Lt. Surge]]. The Gym battle between Surge's {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} ended in Satoshi's victory, earning him the {{badge|Thunder}}. Afterwards, the captain of the S.S. Anne came to congratulate him of his victory, giving him {{HM|01|Cut}} before leaving with his ship.

==Trivia==
* Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral {{wp|cinnabar}}. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).

'''Shellder''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェルダー''' ''Shellder'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Cloyster}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Shellder is a black pearl-like Pokémon encased within a spiky, blue-violet bivalve shell. It has two round white eyes with tiny black pupils. Its enormously long red tongue is used to burrow itself into sand to sleep overnight and also to lure and capture prey. The tongue protrudes even when its shell is closed and tugging it will cause the shell to pop open. Its soft and tender body is well-protected by its extremely durable shell, which is purported to be harder than diamonds and has historically been used by people to make shields. It can make pearls from accumulated sand, though it discards them as they are typically in its way.

Shellder has an unusually strong appetite for the tail of a {{p|Slowpoke}} and can develop a symbiotic relationship with the Dopey Pokémon. After attaching itself to the Slowpoke's tail, the two undergo a metamorphosis and together evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}. Alternatively, if it attaches to the head of a Slowpoke in possession of a [[King's Rock]], the two will instead evolve into {{p|Slowking}}. These relationships allow it to travel onto land and begin a new stage in its life cycle.

Regardless of which form the two Pokémon evolve into, Shellder's shell transforms into a spiny, spiraled cone with several tiers. Sharp teeth develop around the rim of the shell to anchor it securely to the evolved Slowpoke, and its eyes now peek out from the bottom rim of the shell. In its crown form, Shellder will have a red jewel on its underside and a large horn on either side of its shell.

While in its crown form, Shellder will periodically release its venom into Slowking's brain. This is actually beneficial to Slowking, as it causes the Regal Pokémon's intelligence to increase. Higher quantities of venom intensify this effect, and Shellder is easily provoked into releasing more whenever Slowking yawns. However, Shellder's poison makes Slowbro more sluggish as it continues to drain nutrients from its host's body.

Shellder has two former [[signature move]]s. It can shoot spears of ice by using {{m|Icicle Spear}}, or clamp tightly to its opponents using {{m|Clamp}}. Despite its hard shell, clamping on to an opponent will reveal its vulnerable parts. Because of this, it will only clamp itself to a foe as a last resort. It swims around its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|seafloor home}} by rapidly opening and closing its shell while facing backward. Prehistoric Shellder were apparently preyed upon by {{p|Omastar}}, whose powerful bites were capable of breaking through its shell. {{p|Kingler}}, {{p|Rufflet}}, and {{p|Bruxish}} are modern predators of Shellder.

==Trivia==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|Shellder and Slowpoke evolving into Slowking in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Shellder is required to [[Evolution|evolve]] Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve (see above), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.
* In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', it is revealed that Shellder is still capable of speech as the shell of a Slowbro.
* Shellder were shown to be capable of floating through the air in {{g|Snap}}, a trait that has been seen in no other media.
* Shellder and {{p|Cloyster}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Clamperl}}. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
* Shellder can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Staryu}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a [[Water Stone]], and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon; and Shellder is exclusive to Fire Red and Y, while Staryu is exclusive to Leaf Green and X.

===Origin===
Shellder is similar to a {{wp|clam}}, with its tongue representing a clam's "foot". Its ability to move by flapping its shell is likely inspired by {{wp|scallop}}s. Scallops are also related to the thorny oysters that resemble its evolved form. The fact that it latches onto {{p|Slowpoke}} and produces a beneficial toxin may be inspired by {{wp|leech}}es.

====Name origin====
Shellder is derived from ''shell'' and possibly ''shelter'', referring to the fact that it lives in a shell.

'''Shellder''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェルダー''' ''Shellder'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Cloyster}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Shellder is a black pearl-like Pokémon encased within a spiky, blue-violet bivalve shell. It has two round white eyes with tiny black pupils. Its enormously long red tongue is used to burrow itself into sand to sleep overnight and also to lure and capture prey. The tongue protrudes even when its shell is closed and tugging it will cause the shell to pop open. Its soft and tender body is well-protected by its extremely durable shell, which is purported to be harder than diamonds and has historically been used by people to make shields. It can make pearls from accumulated sand, though it discards them as they are typically in its way.

Shellder has an unusually strong appetite for the tail of a {{p|Slowpoke}} and can develop a symbiotic relationship with the Dopey Pokémon. After attaching itself to the Slowpoke's tail, the two undergo a metamorphosis and together evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}. Alternatively, if it attaches to the head of a Slowpoke in possession of a [[King's Rock]], the two will instead evolve into {{p|Slowking}}. These relationships allow it to travel onto land and begin a new stage in its life cycle.

Regardless of which form the two Pokémon evolve into, Shellder's shell transforms into a spiny, spiraled cone with several tiers. Sharp teeth develop around the rim of the shell to anchor it securely to the evolved Slowpoke, and its eyes now peek out from the bottom rim of the shell. In its crown form, Shellder will have a red jewel on its underside and a large horn on either side of its shell.

While in its crown form, Shellder will periodically release its venom into Slowking's brain. This is actually beneficial to Slowking, as it causes the Regal Pokémon's intelligence to increase. Higher quantities of venom intensify this effect, and Shellder is easily provoked into releasing more whenever Slowking yawns. However, Shellder's poison makes Slowbro more sluggish as it continues to drain nutrients from its host's body.

Shellder has two former [[signature move]]s. It can shoot spears of ice by using {{m|Icicle Spear}}, or clamp tightly to its opponents using {{m|Clamp}}. Despite its hard shell, clamping on to an opponent will reveal its vulnerable parts. Because of this, it will only clamp itself to a foe as a last resort. It swims around its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|seafloor home}} by rapidly opening and closing its shell while facing backward. Prehistoric Shellder were apparently preyed upon by {{p|Omastar}}, whose powerful bites were capable of breaking through its shell. {{p|Kingler}}, {{p|Rufflet}}, and {{p|Bruxish}} are modern predators of Shellder.

==Trivia==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|Shellder and Slowpoke evolving into Slowking in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Shellder is required to [[Evolution|evolve]] Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve (see above), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.
* In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', it is revealed that Shellder is still capable of speech as the shell of a Slowbro.
* Shellder were shown to be capable of floating through the air in {{g|Snap}}, a trait that has been seen in no other media.
* Shellder and {{p|Cloyster}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Clamperl}}. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
* Shellder can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Staryu}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a [[Water Stone]], and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon; and Shellder is exclusive to Fire Red and Y, while Staryu is exclusive to Leaf Green and X.

===Origin===
Shellder is similar to a {{wp|clam}}, with its tongue representing a clam's "foot". Its ability to move by flapping its shell is likely inspired by {{wp|scallop}}s. Scallops are also related to the thorny oysters that resemble its evolved form. The fact that it latches onto {{p|Slowpoke}} and produces a beneficial toxin may be inspired by {{wp|leech}}es.

====Name origin====
Shellder is derived from ''shell'' and possibly ''shelter'', referring to the fact that it lives in a shell.
