The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''カントー{{ruby|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Kanto region'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. Kanto is located east of [[Johto]], which together form a joint landmass that is south of [[Sinnoh]].

Kanto is the setting of the [[Generation I|first generation]] of games and can be explored in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}}, {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|VII}}, in addition to a spinoff game in {{gen|IX}}.

[[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak intended to give the player an {{p|Eevee}}, but after his grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead, he gives the player a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that he had just caught. In {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, the player chooses Pikachu, while in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, the player chooses Eevee. In the games, the player begins their journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

The artwork from the early games depict Kanto as grassland. Starting in Generation III, it is shown with denser tree coverage.

All cities in Kanto are named after colors, with the exception of Pallet Town, which refers to a ''palette'', meaning a range of colors. Unlike every other region, Kanto's fictional name reflects its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world]] name.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|200px|The map of Japan showing the Kanto region as the {{wp|Kantō region}}.]]
Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} ({{tt|関|かん}}{{tt|東|とう}}, ''east of the barrier'') in Japan. Commercially-oriented [[Celadon City]] and [[Saffron City]] are based on the sprawling city of {{wp|Tokyo}}, the most important economic center of Japan. [[Vermilion City]] is based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the largest seaport in {{wp|Japan}}.

Kantō and {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Kanto and Johto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The differences are most noticeable in the games while talking to the inhabitants of both regions. Compared to traditional Kansai, on which Johto is based, Kanto is modern and technological. This may be reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings, such as the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] of [[Cinnabar Island]] and the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]]. While Kanto is the centerpoint for innovation, with the [[Poké Ball]]'s ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], having been recently invented by [[Silph Co.]] at the time of [[Generation I]], it is also the only Pokémon region without any myths related to Pokémon.

Japanese merchandise have also used the spelling "Kanto" as the region's romanized name.<ref>[[Premium Gym Badge Set]]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20251010130141/https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/4521329424767.html Die-Cut Postcard Set Pokémon's journey Kanto/Hoenn/Galar] on [[Pokémon Center (store)#Online|Pokémon Center ONLINE]].

====Adjectival form====
The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kanto is "Kantonian", as seen in [[Kantonian Gym]] and dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
At some point, {{p|Porygon}} was created by researchers in Kanto. At some point, [[Mr. Fuji]] discovered Mew deep in a jungle and coined its name. Later, with other scientists, he managed to gather some of Mew's DNA and used it in his [[Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)|mansion]] to create a modified clone of it, aiming it to be the most powerful Pokémon of all, which resulted in the birth of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Mewtwo}}. Sometime after its creation however, Mewtwo escapes and destroys the mansion, hiding away in [[Cerulean Cave]]. At some point, [[Professor Rowan]] travels to Kanto to study [[Pokédex]] systems with [[Professor Oak]].

===Contemporary history===
[[File:Pokémon Day 2022 Kanto Artwork.png|thumb|150px|{{ga|Red}} choosing his [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
The contemporary history of Kanto differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
===={{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}====
{{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} is given a Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]] for personal safety. Professor Oak also gives his grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, a Pokémon and asks Blue and Red/Leaf to help him fill the Pokédex, a complete encyclopedia on Pokémon. Thus, the journey of Red/Leaf begins. Red/Leaf travels across the Kanto region and collects all eight Gym Badges. During their journey, Red/Leaf comes across [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization behind the theft and illegal profit of Pokémon. Red/Leaf stops Team Rocket and defeats [[Giovanni]], their boss, as well as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]], who then disbands Team Rocket. In the meantime, Blue, who has also collected all of the Kanto Gym Badges, defeats the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo League]] and becomes the champion of the Kanto region. Finally, Red/Leaf also reaches the Indigo League and defeats Blue to gain the title of the new Indigo League Champion.

===={{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}====
{{ga|Chase}}/{{ga|Elaine}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on their Pokémon journey after their rival, {{ga|Trace}}. After getting the eight [[Badge]]s of Kanto, and defeating [[Team Rocket]] with the help of {{ga|Blue}} and Trace, along the way, they then challenge Kanto's [[Elite Four]] and compete for the title of Champion in one final battle with Trace. After defeating Trace, Chase/Elaine becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}. From there, they capture {{p|Mewtwo}} and meet {{ga|Green}}, a Trainer who had hoped to capture Mewtwo for herself. They also confront [[Archer]], an {{tc|Executive|admin}} of the remnants of Team Rocket, who challenges them to one last battle before swearing that he will avenge his boss, [[Giovanni]].

===={{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
After {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} gathers all of [[Johto]]'s [[Gym Badges]], they travel to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto and defeat the [[Elite Four]] and their [[Champion]], [[Lance]]. Afterwards, they gathered all Gym Badges in Kanto as well. [[Professor Oak]] declares them ready to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], where they meet and challenges {{ga|Red}}.

==Geography==
[[File:Kanto anime.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
[[File:Kanto Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins in the [[Generation I]] games.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest. Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{ka|Victory Road}} mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring [[Johto]] region.

===Demographics===
Including all the cities and towns in the Kanto region, the total population in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is 391, while in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the population is 364. Since [[Generation II]], it has been the smallest region by population.

===Notable locations===
The Kanto region features ten [[List of cities and towns|towns and cities]]. There is a wide variety of towns and cities throughout the region; from the large, urban [[Saffron City]] to the quiet, quaint town of {{to|Pallet}}. Kanto features a [[Pokémon League]], like most other regions in the [[Pokémon world]]. However, since Kanto shares its borders with [[Johto]], it also shares the same Pokémon League. Kanto and Johto are the only known regions that can be crossed with relative ease. Even though Kanto and Johto are culturally and socially different, the two regions are actually very similar in terms of geography.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the nine main [[region]]s.

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto does not appear to be a fine line, but more or less a blurry one. Route 28 is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes 26 and 27, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

According to [[Professor Oak]], a stone tablet was discovered in Kanto, like the one that is able to summon {{p|Shaymin}} on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in Sinnoh. This is mentioned during the event in which the {{player}} {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the Kanto stone tablet is not seen in any game.

===Differences between generations===
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located far south of mainland Kanto, are unlocked throughout the {{player}}'s quest, with the first three accessible once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

In the Generation II games as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}:

* The Safari Zone has closed as a result of [[Baoba|the warden]] taking a trip. In Generation II, it is simply inaccessible during normal gameplay while it has been relocated to Johto in Generation IV, with the original area now housing a [[Pal Park]].
* [[Cerulean Cave]], also known as "Unknown Dungeon" has collapsed in [[Generation II]], but in [[Generation IV]], however, it has re-excavated.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* In Generation II only, Viridian Forest became drastically smaller and was a part of [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]].
* Mt. Moon has greatly decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower. The Pokémon graves it housed have been moved to the [[House of Memories]].
* Blue has taken over Viridian Gym since Giovanni's retreat for training and remodeled the Gym to suit his tastes.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym since her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* In Generation II only, the Pewter Museum of Science is closed for renovations.
* The southern portion of {{rt|23|Kanto}} was removed in Generation II, and the stone maze that was in the northern portion is gone, leaving a simple, straight path. In Generation IV, though this same northern portion exists, it is labeled as a part of [[Indigo Plateau]], meaning that Route 23 no longer exists.
* The Badge checks have been combined into the Pokémon League Reception Gate, instead of being scattered along Route 23.

==Trivia==
[[File:Kanto - Gen I manual.png|thumb|250px|World Map ([[Generation I]] game manuals)]]
[[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|"A map of the Kanto region!<br>I hope she gives it to me..."]]
* In the Japanese Generation I games, the name "Kanto" is only used once—upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. The region's name is never mentioned in the Generation I games in any other language, meaning that the region was not given a name in the non-Japanese games until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** In the English manuals of the Generation I games, there is a map of Kanto with the title "World Map" (with no mention of the name "Kanto").
** In the remakes of the Generation I games ({{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}), Kanto's name is used frequently.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after {{Ash}} defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), Kanto was the only region in the {{pkmn|animated series}} where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games.
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region from its location in the games.
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s:
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on.
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym.
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
** Kanto is the only region without a city with a population of at least 100.
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release.
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances.
* Kanto has appeared in the most core series games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in twelve core series games (thirteen in Japan) over the course of five generations.
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]];
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]];
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]];
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]];
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in [[Generation VII]].
* Kanto is briefly mentioned in {{DetPikMov}} during the narration that [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] did during the creation of {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]] takes place in a post apocalyptic version of Kanto where humans had to flee the planet.

The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''カントー{{ruby|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Kanto region'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. Kanto is located east of [[Johto]], which together form a joint landmass that is south of [[Sinnoh]].

Kanto is the setting of the [[Generation I|first generation]] of games and can be explored in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}}, {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|VII}}, in addition to a spinoff game in {{gen|IX}}.

[[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak intended to give the player an {{p|Eevee}}, but after his grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead, he gives the player a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that he had just caught. In {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, the player chooses Pikachu, while in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, the player chooses Eevee. In the games, the player begins their journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

The artwork from the early games depict Kanto as grassland. Starting in Generation III, it is shown with denser tree coverage.

All cities in Kanto are named after colors, with the exception of Pallet Town, which refers to a ''palette'', meaning a range of colors. Unlike every other region, Kanto's fictional name reflects its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world]] name.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|200px|The map of Japan showing the Kanto region as the {{wp|Kantō region}}.]]
Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} ({{tt|関|かん}}{{tt|東|とう}}, ''east of the barrier'') in Japan. Commercially-oriented [[Celadon City]] and [[Saffron City]] are based on the sprawling city of {{wp|Tokyo}}, the most important economic center of Japan. [[Vermilion City]] is based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the largest seaport in {{wp|Japan}}.

Kantō and {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Kanto and Johto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The differences are most noticeable in the games while talking to the inhabitants of both regions. Compared to traditional Kansai, on which Johto is based, Kanto is modern and technological. This may be reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings, such as the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] of [[Cinnabar Island]] and the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]]. While Kanto is the centerpoint for innovation, with the [[Poké Ball]]'s ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], having been recently invented by [[Silph Co.]] at the time of [[Generation I]], it is also the only Pokémon region without any myths related to Pokémon.

Japanese merchandise have also used the spelling "Kanto" as the region's romanized name.<ref>[[Premium Gym Badge Set]]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20251010130141/https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/4521329424767.html Die-Cut Postcard Set Pokémon's journey Kanto/Hoenn/Galar] on [[Pokémon Center (store)#Online|Pokémon Center ONLINE]].

====Adjectival form====
The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kanto is "Kantonian", as seen in [[Kantonian Gym]] and dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
At some point, {{p|Porygon}} was created by researchers in Kanto. At some point, [[Mr. Fuji]] discovered Mew deep in a jungle and coined its name. Later, with other scientists, he managed to gather some of Mew's DNA and used it in his [[Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)|mansion]] to create a modified clone of it, aiming it to be the most powerful Pokémon of all, which resulted in the birth of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Mewtwo}}. Sometime after its creation however, Mewtwo escapes and destroys the mansion, hiding away in [[Cerulean Cave]]. At some point, [[Professor Rowan]] travels to Kanto to study [[Pokédex]] systems with [[Professor Oak]].

===Contemporary history===
[[File:Pokémon Day 2022 Kanto Artwork.png|thumb|150px|{{ga|Red}} choosing his [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
The contemporary history of Kanto differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
===={{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}====
{{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} is given a Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]] for personal safety. Professor Oak also gives his grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, a Pokémon and asks Blue and Red/Leaf to help him fill the Pokédex, a complete encyclopedia on Pokémon. Thus, the journey of Red/Leaf begins. Red/Leaf travels across the Kanto region and collects all eight Gym Badges. During their journey, Red/Leaf comes across [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization behind the theft and illegal profit of Pokémon. Red/Leaf stops Team Rocket and defeats [[Giovanni]], their boss, as well as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]], who then disbands Team Rocket. In the meantime, Blue, who has also collected all of the Kanto Gym Badges, defeats the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo League]] and becomes the champion of the Kanto region. Finally, Red/Leaf also reaches the Indigo League and defeats Blue to gain the title of the new Indigo League Champion.

===={{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}====
{{ga|Chase}}/{{ga|Elaine}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on their Pokémon journey after their rival, {{ga|Trace}}. After getting the eight [[Badge]]s of Kanto, and defeating [[Team Rocket]] with the help of {{ga|Blue}} and Trace, along the way, they then challenge Kanto's [[Elite Four]] and compete for the title of Champion in one final battle with Trace. After defeating Trace, Chase/Elaine becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}. From there, they capture {{p|Mewtwo}} and meet {{ga|Green}}, a Trainer who had hoped to capture Mewtwo for herself. They also confront [[Archer]], an {{tc|Executive|admin}} of the remnants of Team Rocket, who challenges them to one last battle before swearing that he will avenge his boss, [[Giovanni]].

===={{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
After {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} gathers all of [[Johto]]'s [[Gym Badges]], they travel to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto and defeat the [[Elite Four]] and their [[Champion]], [[Lance]]. Afterwards, they gathered all Gym Badges in Kanto as well. [[Professor Oak]] declares them ready to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], where they meet and challenges {{ga|Red}}.

==Geography==
[[File:Kanto anime.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
[[File:Kanto Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins in the [[Generation I]] games.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest. Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{ka|Victory Road}} mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring [[Johto]] region.

===Demographics===
Including all the cities and towns in the Kanto region, the total population in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is 391, while in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the population is 364. Since [[Generation II]], it has been the smallest region by population.

===Notable locations===
The Kanto region features ten [[List of cities and towns|towns and cities]]. There is a wide variety of towns and cities throughout the region; from the large, urban [[Saffron City]] to the quiet, quaint town of {{to|Pallet}}. Kanto features a [[Pokémon League]], like most other regions in the [[Pokémon world]]. However, since Kanto shares its borders with [[Johto]], it also shares the same Pokémon League. Kanto and Johto are the only known regions that can be crossed with relative ease. Even though Kanto and Johto are culturally and socially different, the two regions are actually very similar in terms of geography.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the nine main [[region]]s.

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto does not appear to be a fine line, but more or less a blurry one. Route 28 is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes 26 and 27, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

According to [[Professor Oak]], a stone tablet was discovered in Kanto, like the one that is able to summon {{p|Shaymin}} on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in Sinnoh. This is mentioned during the event in which the {{player}} {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the Kanto stone tablet is not seen in any game.

===Differences between generations===
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located far south of mainland Kanto, are unlocked throughout the {{player}}'s quest, with the first three accessible once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

In the Generation II games as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}:

* The Safari Zone has closed as a result of [[Baoba|the warden]] taking a trip. In Generation II, it is simply inaccessible during normal gameplay while it has been relocated to Johto in Generation IV, with the original area now housing a [[Pal Park]].
* [[Cerulean Cave]], also known as "Unknown Dungeon" has collapsed in [[Generation II]], but in [[Generation IV]], however, it has re-excavated.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* In Generation II only, Viridian Forest became drastically smaller and was a part of [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]].
* Mt. Moon has greatly decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower. The Pokémon graves it housed have been moved to the [[House of Memories]].
* Blue has taken over Viridian Gym since Giovanni's retreat for training and remodeled the Gym to suit his tastes.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym since her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* In Generation II only, the Pewter Museum of Science is closed for renovations.
* The southern portion of {{rt|23|Kanto}} was removed in Generation II, and the stone maze that was in the northern portion is gone, leaving a simple, straight path. In Generation IV, though this same northern portion exists, it is labeled as a part of [[Indigo Plateau]], meaning that Route 23 no longer exists.
* The Badge checks have been combined into the Pokémon League Reception Gate, instead of being scattered along Route 23.

==Trivia==
[[File:Kanto - Gen I manual.png|thumb|250px|World Map ([[Generation I]] game manuals)]]
[[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|"A map of the Kanto region!<br>I hope she gives it to me..."]]
* In the Japanese Generation I games, the name "Kanto" is only used once—upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. The region's name is never mentioned in the Generation I games in any other language, meaning that the region was not given a name in the non-Japanese games until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** In the English manuals of the Generation I games, there is a map of Kanto with the title "World Map" (with no mention of the name "Kanto").
** In the remakes of the Generation I games ({{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}), Kanto's name is used frequently.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after {{Ash}} defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), Kanto was the only region in the {{pkmn|animated series}} where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games.
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region from its location in the games.
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s:
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on.
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym.
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
** Kanto is the only region without a city with a population of at least 100.
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release.
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances.
* Kanto has appeared in the most core series games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in twelve core series games (thirteen in Japan) over the course of five generations.
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]];
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]];
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]];
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]];
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in [[Generation VII]].
* Kanto is briefly mentioned in {{DetPikMov}} during the narration that [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] did during the creation of {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}.
** {{game|Pokémon Pokopia}} takes place in a post apocalyptic version of Kanto where humans had to flee the planet.

[[File:Future Pokémon promotional artwork.jpg|thumb|550px|{{PTCG}} artwork of the future Paradox Pokémon]]
'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one appearing in Pokémon Scarlet resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon, and one appearing in Pokémon Violet resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow typical Pokémon naming conventions. All of them [[List of categories by abundance|share the titular category]] of "{{pkmn|category|Paradox Pokémon}}".

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''',<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ </ref> '''Monsters of Area Zero'''<ref>[[Scarlet Book]] and [[Violet Book]]</ref> (Japanese: '''エリアゼロの{{ruby|怪物|かいぶつ}}''' ''Monsters of Area Zero''), and '''Enigmas of Paldea'''<ref>{{DL|Magazines_in_the_Pokémon_world|Occulture}}</ref> (Japanese: '''パルデア{{ruby|未確認|みかくにん}}''') by researchers and {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} researches Paradox Pokémon. The professor also refers to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}.

The precise origin of the Paradox Pokémon is unclear; AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/AI Turo{{sup/9|V}} claims that they originate from different points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient/futuristic form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> (specifically the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}), while a version of Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}} suggests that they are from [[Pokémon multiverse|different timelines]] (despite not having met and studied Paradox Pokemon yet because this version of Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} has not yet built the time machine and has not completed its research, unlike the AI).<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>

They were apparently brought to [[Area Zero]] in the present day by the [[time machine]] built by the professor, but the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} documents sightings of them prior to the time machine being built. Terapagos appears to have a connection to the Paradox Pokémon's appearance in the present day due to the [[Terastal energy]] it produces.

==List of Paradox Pokémon==
As a group, Paradox Pokémon share multiple similarities with one another, including a [[Base stats|base stat]] total of either 570, 590, or 670, sharing {{Abilities}} related to either [[harsh sunlight]] or {{m|Electric Terrain}}, and having two [[type]]s.

====Ancient Pokémon====
These Pokémon are ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in battle. All ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their [[cry|cries]].

* In [[Asado Desert|one arid corner]] of [[Paldea]], there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a {{p|Donphan}} at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious [[Scarlet Book]].

* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the [[Scarlet Book]] that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

====Future Pokémon====
These Pokémon are futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Quark Drive}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Miraidon}}, which has {{a|Hadron Engine}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of {{m|Electric Terrain}} in battle. All future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise. Their names all contain the word "iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) as a prefix, with the exception of Miraidon — it, however, is also known as "Iron Serpent".

===History===
{{spoilers}}
====Background====
It is unknown where the Paradox Pokémon originate from. Conflicting accounts claim that they either come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, or from different timelines.

=====[[Area Zero]] expedition=====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Legendary beasts]]]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Swords of Justice]]]]
</div>
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon. They at some point also encountered a {{p|Koraidon|Winged King}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}{{sup/9|V}} that was used in Heath's [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}'s cover. After encountering each of the known Paradox Pokémon, Heath named each of them in his journal.

At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea, but they could've been brought over by the {{Ga|Terapagos}} that slumbers in [[Area Zero Underdepths]]. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time.

=====Project {{Tera}}=====
10 years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a [[time machine]] built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's Terastal energy. The professor is said to have used the time machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before bringing them into modern time. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

A quirky, friendly {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. At some point, the professor also renamed the species from Winged King{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Serpent{{sup/9|V}} to Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, taking the name from a [[player|youth]] after they found themselves in an [[Crystal Pool|unfamiliar place]]. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in Area Zero and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

====={{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}=====
Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, some Paradox Pokémon started to escape Area Zero, so a paranormal magazine called {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} started publishing articles on recent sightings of them, theorizing about what the Paradox Pokémon could be and mentioning their similarities to the entities mentioned in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. According to the [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] and the Occulture issues, sightings of all Paradox Pokémon happened all over Paldea, which implies that at least one of each of the Paradox Pokémon managed to escape the crater at some point. Among those Pokémon, another that escaped Area Zero was a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, who grew into a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Sour Herba Mystica]] in the [[Asado Desert]], becoming known as the "Quaking Earth Titan".

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
=====Path of Legends=====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Great Tusk.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Great Tusk from the Scarlet Book|Illustration of {{p|Great Tusk}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Scarlet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]

</div>
During the events of the game, the {{player}} and [[Arven]] travel around Paldea to defeat each of the Titan Pokémon and take their Herba Mystica, which includes the Quaking Earth Titan, putting an end to its rampage and taking its Herbs, which forced it back to its original size. During the encounter, Arven notices the Titan's strange appearance, wondering if it's even a Pokémon and that he that he may've seen it before somewhere.

=====The Way Home=====
During the events of The Way Home in Scarlet and Violet, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a wild {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a wild Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI professor's Paradox Protection Protocol fights the player using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine. After a long battle, the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} successfully defeat the Paradox Protection Protocol and the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when the AI professor used it one final time to travel to the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

=====Post-game Paradox Pokémon=====
Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}} have only appeared in special [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, Slither Wing{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Moth{{sup/9|V}}, Iron Bundle, Flutter Mane{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Jugulis{{sup/9|V}}, and Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} have also appeared in special Tera Raids.

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
Later on after helping [[Perrin]] find the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[The Teal Mask]], she appears in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], working there as a photographer to get promotional pictures for the academy. After the player catches 200 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], Perrin shows the player two blurry pictures, one of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and one of {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}, however, she's unsure if the creatures caught in these pictures are even real to begin with. After that, the two Paradox Pokémon can be encountered in Area Zero close to where the pictures were taken, surprising Perrin that they were indeed real Pokémon. During [[Briar]]'s expedition in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], the player encounters a Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} Terastallized into the {{T|Stellar}} type that they need to defeat in order to open the way to travel deeper into the Underdepths.{{endspoilers}}

===Pokémon Masters EX===
The following [[sync pair]]s use Paradox Pokémon. As {{g|Masters EX}} is established to exist in the same timeline as {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, all future Paradox Pokémon in this game come from an {{pkmn|multiverse|alternate universe}} where the events of Pokémon Violet occurred instead.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{UNITE|Miraidon}} is a playable Pokémon through obtaining a Unite License. It is a ranged attacker that can only be played in its {{form|Miraidon|Ultimate Mode}}.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
:''Main articles: [[Ancient (TCG Pocket)]]; [[Future (TCG Pocket)]]''

The Paradox Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] starting with the {{TCGP|Paldean Wonders}} expansion.

Starting with the {{TCGP|Paradox Drive}} expansion, two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCGP|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCGP|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released from this set onward. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

The following is a list of Paradox Pokémon in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.

==In animation==
[[File:Miraidon TRE.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Miraidon}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
A {{p|Koraidon}} debuted in the [[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth|post-episode segment]] of [[JN137]], where {{TRT}} tried to catch it but failed, resulting in them getting rammed by Koraidon and sent blasting off. A {{p|Miraidon}} debuted in the post-episode segment of [[JN138]], where Team Rocket tried to catch it as well, but failed, resulting in them getting shocked and sent blasting off.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Lucius Gouging Fire.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Gouging Fire}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
Paradox Pokémon were first referenced in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. After [[Dot]] asked [[Chalce|"Chive"]] if she is a fan of the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, the undercover [[Explorers]] member mentioned a resurrected prehistoric {{p|Volcarona}} ({{p|Slither Wing}}) and a {{p|Jigglypuff}} from a billion years ago ({{p|Scream Tail}}), both creatures featured in the Occulture, though she found the ideas presented in the magazine absurd.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Briar]] mentioned that her ancestor [[Heath]] had encountered many unusual Pokémon within [[Area Zero]], referencing Paradox Pokémon. A Pokémon resembling {{p|Great Tusk}} appeared in a flashback as she was recounting her tale. In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Paradox Pokémon were directly mentioned by [[Poppy]] while the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]] were describing the powerful and dangerous Pokémon that reside in Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ080|Total-lie Awesome Pokémon in Area Zero?!]]'', while exploring Area Zero, [[Roy]] got separated from [[Liko]], Dot, [[Friede]], and Briar, encountered and battled a {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, and even managed to defeat it. Simultaneously, [[Coral]] encountered a Scream Tail and a Great Tusk, which she fought together with Scream Tail to chase off. She also accidentally {{pkmn2|caught}} the Scream Tail and [[nickname]]d it "{{DL|Coral|Screamypuff}}". Meanwhile, Briar explained to Dot that Paradox Pokémon are ancient or future form of existing Pokémon that should have no place in the present day, which is why they're called Paradox Pokémon. In the [[HZ081|next episode]], the group finally encountered [[Lucius]]'s {{p|Entei}}, but it was revealed to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, due to Paradox Pokémon not being known at the time, it was mistaken with its modern-day counterpart. It took Lucius's old belt as a test and battled the four of them, agreeing to return to its [[Ancient Poké Ball]] once they took it back.

===Biri-Biri===
In [[Biri-Biri]], a {{p|Koraidon}} appeared under {{ga|Juliana|Anna}}'s ownership, serving as her ride in the music video. Additionally, a {{p|Great Tusk}}, specifically the {{pkmn2|Titan|Quaking Earth Titan}}, briefly appeared as a silhouette as well.

==In the manga==
[[File:Violet Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|{{p|Miraidon}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Paradox Donphan Adventures.png|thumb|280px|{{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Great Tusk}} in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
{{ga|Miraidon}} debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'' as {{Violet}}'s ride Pokémon. In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet revealed to {{adv|Arven}} that he had encountered it on a beach at [[Poco Path]], after which [[Professor Turo]] had contracted him and asked him to take care of it.

In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet and Arven visited the [[Asado Desert]] and encountered two Paradox Pokémon; the {{pkmn2|Titan|Quaking Earth Titan}} {{p|Iron Treads}} and a {{p|Great Tusk}}. Being outmatched against the former, they were ultimately forced to retreat. Upon re-encountering the two in [[PASV24]], they discovered that the Great Tusk had become a Titan Pokémon as well. In [[PASV25]], Violet and Arven received unexpected help from [[Kofu]] and [[Saguaro]], allowing them to defeat the two Titans and obtain the [[Sour Herba Mystica]] they had been guarding.

[[File:ScreamTailParadoxRift86.jpg|thumb|left|200px|An example of an Ancient Pokémon card]]

The Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Koraidon, and Miraidon appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] starting with the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. Non-Pokémon ex versions of Koraidon and Miraidon were also released in the same expansion.

Starting with the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} and {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansions), two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released from this set onward. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

The descriptions on the back of the Iron Valiant, Iron Leaves, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown boxes explain that the Paradox Pokémon come from the past and the future.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The [[Shiny]] colorations of the ancient Paradox Pokémon are based on the Shiny colorations of the Pokémon they are based on. In contrast, every future Paradox Pokémon has a metallic grey Shiny coloration, possibly to reflect their robotic appearances and natures. The only exceptions to these are {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}.
* These Pokémon are similar to [[convergent species]] in that they bear a striking resemblance to certain Pokémon but are nonetheless completely different species.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both ancient and future Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** All three of these Pokémon have {{type|Fighting}} ancient counterparts.
* Volcarona is the only Pokémon with Paradox Pokémon relatives that can be naturally found in the same area as them.
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}}, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower [[Base stats|base stat]] total than their contemporary counterparts (all of which are [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]).
* The ancient Pokémon, {{p|Flutter Mane}}, {{p|Scream Tail}} and {{p|Sandy Shocks}} are the only Paradox Pokémon whose contemporary relatives are not fully evolved. Furthermore, these contemporary Pokémon all evolve with [[Evolution stone]]s.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same version as its present-day counterpart in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, except for the post-release Paradox Pokémon based on [[legendary trio]]s; for example, both {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives and have another type that the relative lacks.
** There is at least one Paradox Pokémon of every type except {{t|Normal}}.
** {{t|Dragon}} is the most common types for Paradox Pokémon to have, with six Paradox Pokémon having it.
** Miraidon and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to share both of their types with each other.
* The naming convention for Paradox Pokémon differs by language:
** In {{pmin|Spanish}}, {{pmin|Italian}}, and {{pmin|German}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a single word.
** In {{pmin|English}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a two-word descriptor; all future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" as the first word in their names.
** In {{pmin|French}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with two or three words hyphenated into a single name; all future Paradox Pokémon have the suffix "-de-Fer" in their names.
* All ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon except Miraidon are shorter.
** Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon weigh more than the Pokémon they are based on except {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which weighs the same as {{p|Magneton}}.
* {{p|Raging Bolt}} and {{p|Gouging Fire}} are the only ancient Paradox Pokémon that do not have yellow eyes.
* Despite all of the future Paradox Pokémon having “Iron” in their name, only {{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Crown}} are actually {{t|Steel}} type.
* In their battle against the player in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon present in the base game, with the exception of {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, which is instead fought as a [[Titan Pokémon]] earlier in the story.
* [[Generation II]] and [[Generation V]] are both tied for having the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during them, at seven each. Out of the [[generation]]s that have at least one, [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, at {{p|Gallade|one}}. [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VII]], and [[Generation VIII]] all have no Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon at all (though Roaring Moon is based on {{me|Salamence}}, a form that was introduced in Generation VI).
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both appear to originate from [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]].
** Both groups consist entirely of gender unknown Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, thus being unable to breed.
** Both are connected to the [[Game mascot|mascot]] Legendary Pokémon of the games they were introduced in.
** Excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, both consist of Pokémon that are unable to evolve into or from another Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and the future Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers. Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves around multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves around prime numbers.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Excluding Xurtitree and Poipole, both consist of Pokémon who are dual typed.
** Every Ultra Beast and Paradox Pokémon (except {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
** With the exception of Koraidon and Miraidon, both groups have a certain sound sample that recurs in their cries.
** Despite sharing several traits in common with Legendary Pokémon (such as the aforementioned base stat total and Egg Group), and despite several Paradox Pokémon being counterparts of Legendary Pokémon, the members of both groups (except Koraidon and Miraidon) are not considered Legendary Pokémon.

[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork of the Ultra Beasts from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500338799587328 Tweet by ありがひとし (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>]]
'''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast''), also abbreviated as '''UBs''' (Japanese: '''ＵＢ''' ''UB''), are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]] by assistance of an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The first seven were introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with four more being introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, totaling up to 11 Ultra Beasts in total, (12 if {{p|Necrozma}} were to be included in some media). They play an important role in Sun and Moon's [[Looker Episode]]. They are similar to, but classified differently from [[Legendary Pokémon]], even being internally classified as "sublegendary" until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, where they have been internally reclassified as their own group.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from Ultra Wormholes. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as it is for most people, making them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an Ultra Wormhole, known as [[Faller]]s, due to the residual [[Z-Power|energy]] left on them, apparently expecting to find another wormhole they can use to return home. These Pokémon absorb these auras inside their body, granting them a specialized boost in power known as a {{a|Beast Boost}}, an [[Ability]] they all share.<ref>"''The UBs surround themselves with an aura called the Beast Boost. The truth of this aura is that it is the energy that flows within the Ultra Wormhole. When the UBs pass through the Ultra Wormhole, they are bathed in a great deal of this energy and likely store it within their bodies.''" -[[Wicke]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> No Ultra Beasts have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]].

The Ultra Beasts' base stats tend to have extremely erratic and unbalanced distribution compared to other Pokémon.

When an Ultra Beast is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the [[Z-Power]] from Ultra Wormholes manifest as a red aura that boosts one of its [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura.<ref>[[Wicke]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"There are also Pokémon on our planet that possess this same kind of energy. I think you know what I mean. The so-called Totem Pokémon that you faced in your trials."''</ref> All Ultra Beasts, as well as the {{p|Cosmog}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line and {{p|Necrozma}}, all share a unique sound frequency found in their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.25 seconds in duration.

All [[Poké Ball]]s (except for the [[Master Ball]], which can catch any Pokémon without fail) have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, and thus have a [[catch rate]] modifier of 410/4096× (~0.1×) when used on them, impairing their ability to effectively [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] them. To circumvent this, the [[Aether Foundation]]'s Aether Branch Chief, [[Faba]] created the [[Beast Ball]], a type of Poké Ball specifically designed to catch Ultra Beasts. These Poké Balls have a catch rate modifier of 5× when used on them, though they have a modifier of 410/4096× (~0.1×) on Pokémon that are not Ultra Beasts.

==Concept and development==
Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.<ref>Interview with [[Game Freak]] in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]'', pp. vi-vii: '''Ohmori:''' ''"...When I read about [invasive species], I wondered if we couldn't express invasive species in the Pokémon world as well, and the idea we came up with was the Ultra Beasts..."''</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] had advised that each Ultra Beast design incorporate contradictory elements, along with concepts that are typically avoided when creating new Pokémon to differentiate them from other Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180303181205/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/an-exclusive-interview-with-the-makers-of-pokemon-ultra-sun-and-pokemon-ultra-moon/ An Exclusive Interview with the makers of ''Pokémon Ultra Sun'' and ''Pokémon Ultra Moon''! | Pokemon.com,] archived March 3rd, 2018</ref>

[[Staff of Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun and Moon's lead character artist]], [[Yusuke Ohmura]], had revealed that the Ultra Beasts were designed by recalling previous designs rejected by [[Ken Sugimori]], and applying the very reasons why they were rejected to the Ultra Beasts' designs.<ref>https://x.com/yusuke_omura/status/2018851331562500430</ref><ref>https://x.com/yusuke_omura/status/2018968060804346043</ref> {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Guzzlord}}, {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}} were the only four who had their designers revealed, all created by [[James Turner]].

==List of Ultra Beasts==
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the {{player}} is requested to find and [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] all Ultra Beasts that have been spotted in Alola. [[Looker]] of the [[International Police]] and [[Wicke]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] provide the player with information on the Pokémon both during and after their mission with an Ultra Beast. Looker will also provide information on {{p|Necrozma}} through the player's [[Pokédex]] after they have caught it.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-01. Code name: “Symbiont.” Properly known as Nihilego. There have been sightings reported of this beast in Alola’s past. Its most distinctive feature is its parasitic capability. When Nihilego latches on to a host, it does not manipulate its actions directly. Rather it awakens the host’s own capabilities and boosts them to an extreme extent in order to protect itself.
* It injects the host with a sort of neurotoxin to achieve this effect. This neurotoxin of Nihilego’s is incredibly stimulating and inspires feelings of extreme excitement and a lack of inhibition in its host. In other words, anything or anyone that Nihilego latches on to will have its native skills forcibly activated to their fullest extent and will then act as it naturally desires to.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-02. Code name: “Absorption.” Properly known as Buzzwole. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is its skill to strengthen itself. Buzzwole is able to absorb energy and then achieve a chemical reaction between the energy it has absorbed and its own body fluids.
* As a result, Buzzwole’s body swells to an almost explosive extent. Its muscles bulge and are so thick and dense that they are stronger even than steel. Both its Attack and Defense experience a clear leap in power. It also displays a habit of striking a pose each time that it takes any sort of action... It is thought this might serve as a method of communication, but it is not well understood.

* UB-02. Code name: “Beauty.” Properly known as Pheromosa. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. This UB can reach speeds exceeding 120 mph in just an instant. This speed is greater than any other living creature that has been discovered to date. But its most distinctive features may in fact be its beauty and its powerful pheromones.
* Most any creature that squares off against Pheromosa becomes confused, as if struck by the beast’s beauty, and loses the will to fight. It is still a subject of research, but it’s thought that Pheromosa may possess some sort of organ able to produce a pheromonal substance previously unknown to science.

* UB-03. Code name: “Lighting.” Properly known as Xurkitree. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is an organ that can generate power. This UB’s bodily makeup is highly reminiscent of electric wiring, thus enabling it to conduct electricity with great efficiency.
* It can discharge as much as a million volts of power at a time. When it begins to run out of power, it stabs its legs and tail into the soil, entering a treelike state as it absorbs electricity from the ground.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-04. Code name: “Blaster.” Properly known as Celesteela. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is the energy that it stores within itself, a flammable gas that it can shoot from its two huge arms.
* This is mostly used to propel itself in flight and for battle, but it is thought to have sufficient power and lift to even fly into space. Its bodily construction closely resembles that of a plant, and it absorbs nutrients from the soil.

| [[File:Fall in the UB - Kartana.png|x100px]]<br>[[Ultra Forest]]
| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-04. Code name: “Blade.” Properly known as Kartana. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is its thin and razor-sharp body, of which every edge has as cruel a cutting edge as any well-honed blade. The edges on its arms are particularly in a class of their own.
* Any opponent who tries to attack it will be cut down with a single strike of its “blades.” Its thin body also allows it to evade attacks by dancing lightly out of the way. This is a very dangerous creature, considering its excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, but due to the nature of its body, it is also highly vulnerable to fire and moisture.

* UB-05. Code name: “Glutton.” Properly known as Guzzlord. This UB has been sighted in the Alola region in the past as well, according to our reports. It seems it was targeted by the International Police in a top-secret mission at that time. Its most distinctive feature is its limitless appetite. It feeds without pause every moment that it is awake.
* It uses the two large tongues that protrude from its mouth to catch and devour everything in its path, be it organic or inorganic matter. And while it eats such an inordinate amount, Guzzlord excreta has never been discovered. It is thought that it might fully convert the things that it eats into energy for it to use.

==Related Pokémon==
{{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are thematically related to the Ultra Beasts, and share many similarities with them, although they are not usually considered to be Ultra Beasts themselves. However, in some media, Necrozma is considered to be an Ultra Beast, although none of the other four are.

;Noted similarities to Ultra Beasts:
* The disputed Pokémon are thematically related to the Ultra Beasts and Ultra Space, including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes.
* In the core series games, the disputed Pokémon include a sound frequency within their [[Cry|cries]] that is also shared with all Ultra Beasts.
* In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]]'s research for the [[Aether Foundation]] hypothesized that Cosmog may be an Ultra Beast due to it originating from Ultra Space.<ref>{{g|Sun and Moon}}: "''Cosmog is hypothesized to be a type of Ultra Beast that hails from another dimension. A dimension that we have named Ultra Space.'' - Aether Report: Cosmog</ref>
* In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is often referred to as being similar to an Ultra Beast.
** In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Looker claims "''It was black and yet it was shining somehow! It was...it was like it was refracting light! It might have been a UB! No, I'm certain of it! It surely was a UB!''"
** In Pokémon Sun and Moon, after catching Necrozma, the following dialogue is displayed: "''You caught the mysterious life-form that appeared to be an Ultra Beast...''"
** Necrozma's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun describes it as "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts."
** In Pokémon Ultra Sun, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast".
* Ultra Necrozma's battle at Megalo Tower has its stats raised and covered in [[Z-Power]], similar to that of an Ultra Beast. However, the aura that surrounds the Pokémon is yellow as if it were using a [[Z-Move]] rather than the typical red aura that Ultra Beasts are covered in.
* In the English localization of the core series games, the term "beast" is used to refer to the Ultra Beasts<ref>Multiple characters refer to Ultra Beasts, specifically {{p|Nihilego}}, as "beast" or "beasts", e.g. {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"There should be plenty of beautiful beasts appearing all around Alola as we speak!"'' - [[Lusamine]]</ref> as well as Necrozma,<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}: ''"But what are we to do now? It seemed to me like that beast...like Necrozma was also suffering somehow... It seemed to hurt it, to be without its light..."''</ref> and is also used in mythology to refer to Solgaleo and Lunala (as "the beast that devours the sun" and "the beast that calls the moon").<ref>In the book ''[[Malie Library|The Light of Alola]]'' in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Solgaleo is referred to as "the beast that devours the sun" or "beast of sun", while Lunala is referred to as "the beast that calls the moon" or "beast of moon".</ref><ref>A book in [[Malie Library]] states ''"The pillager took from us the beast that devours the sun, using the beast as its own Dusk Mane."'' in Ultra Sun; in Ultra Moon it says ''"The pillager took from us the beast that calls the moon, using the beast as its own Dawn Wings."''</ref><ref>''"The altar on Poni...

** In languages other than English and Spanish, either distinct terms are used for both, or shorthand is not used to refer to the Ultra Beasts. For example, in Japanese, different terms are used to refer to the Ultra Beasts (Japanese: ビースト ''beast'') than to Solgaleo and Lunala (Japanese: {{Ruby|獣|けもの}} ''beast'').
** In all languages other than English, Necrozma is never described as a "beast" at all. In the lines that refer to it as such in English, no equivalent term appears in other languages.
* In {{aniseries|SM}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking it for an Ultra Beast, gives {{an|Necrozma}} the code name "UB Black" (Japanese: {{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}} ''UB: Black'').
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Beast Balls were used to catch Necrozma after raids during Go Fest 2024 - Global, and it received the catch rate boost from them.

;Distinctions from Ultra Beasts
* In the core series games, these Pokémon are not considered to be Ultra Beasts. This has several functional implications:
** Beast Balls do not have increased effectiveness against them, and other Poké Balls do not have reduced effectiveness against them.
** These Pokémon do not display their names as ??? before being caught in Generation VII.
* Unlike the Ultra Beasts, none of these Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Beast Boost}}.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], these Pokémon cannot have the {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}} {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Beast Power}}, but all Ultra Beasts can.
* In Pokémon Sun and Moon, after completing the [[Looker Episode]], the [[International Police]] report that all Ultra Beasts they had detected had been caught, even while Necrozma is still in the wild.
* In [[Pokémon GO]]'s [[Pokémon Box (GO)|search]] and [[Pokémon HOME]]'s {{OBP|Challenge|HOME}}s, these Pokémon are not considered Ultra Beasts.
* In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, and Lunala are not Ultra Beasts.

;Media in which Necrozma is considered an Ultra Beast
* In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]], Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma are all Ultra Beasts, but Necrozma's default form is not.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Necrozma}} is an Ultra Beast, and a Beast Ball was required to capture it.
* [[Pokémon Duel]] considers all forms of Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
Ultra Beasts originate from other [[dimension]]s accessed through the [[Ultra Space]], an interdimensional realm connected to other worlds through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s.

=====[[International Police]] Sightings=====
The first recorded sightings of Ultra Beasts in [[Alola]] had occurred 10 years before the events of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. At that point, Ultra Beasts were not named, abbreviated or not, and were referred to as dangerous creatures instead of Pokémon.<ref>"''Of course we did not know them as UBs back then. It was simply a dangerous creature. My team succeeded in chasing down the UB. And then we tried to put an end to it...''" - [[Looker]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> As a part of the [[International Police]], [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Faller}} were ordered to track down the Pokémon and eradicate them, using the Faller as a form of bait to lure Ultra Beasts. Unfortunately, due to a mishap on Looker's part, the Faller lost her life to one of the Ultra Beasts.

[[Guzzlord]], also found in the Alola [[region]], has been mentioned to have been a target by the International Police in previous top-secret missions.<ref>"''This UB has been sighted in the Alola region in the past as well, according to our reports. It seems it was targeted by the International Police in a top-secret mission at that time.''" -[[Wicke]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Sometime after these missions, the International Police began referring to each UB by a code name with the acronym, UB, followed by a number and word (such as "UB-01 Symbiont").<ref>"''Yes, UB-01...Symbiont. I suppose you knew it as Nihilego. The International Police refers to all of the UBs by code names, like Symbiont there.''" - [[Anabel]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> Eventually, the [[Aether Foundation]], having begun their own research, gave each Ultra Beast their own names.

=====[[Aether Foundation]]'s research=====
A few years before the events of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], while conducting research at the [[Aether Foundation]], [[Mohn]] discovered and proved the existence of Ultra Wormholes and the Ultra Space beyond them. Mohn had also discovered Ultra Beasts and a species now known as {{p|Cosmog}}, which could create Ultra Wormholes under heavy stress, leading to the theory that Cosmog may be an Ultra Beast. Eventually, Mohn came into contact with an Ultra Beast, {{p|Nihilego}}. However, at some point, Mohn was vanished into an Ultra Wormhole, leaving behind a Cosmog and his research on Nihilego.

In hopes of finding her husband again, President [[Lusamine]] had begun her own research on the Pokémon and phenomenon. The Aether Foundation had created an [[beast killer project|Anti-UB Fighting life-form]], a beast killer, used as a weapon against Ultra Beasts. Additionally, [[Beast Ball]]s, a special type of [[Poké Ball]] developed by [[Faba]], were created to capture Ultra Beasts.

===={{g|Sun and Moon}}====
During the main story of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This Ultra Wormhole was later revealed to have come from the gases of [[Nebby|Cosmog]] down in the basement of Aether Paradise.<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref>

During the player's confrontation with Lusamine at their return to the facility, Lusamine is revealed to have captured [[Nebby]] and uses its power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; {{p|Nihilego}} is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several Nihilego in [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

=====Post game=====
After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives the [[Enigmatic Card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
During the story of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}.

Like in the main story of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing from an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This Ultra Wormhole was later revealed to have come from the gases of [[Nebby|Cosmog]] down in the basement of Aether Paradise.

During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{Ga|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole]]s all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into the region. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing off against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters {{P|Xurkitree}} at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

=====Post game=====
The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating Necrozma at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player is asked to catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]] by the Ultra Recon Squad.

After catching the {{Ga|Zygarde}} in [[Resolution Cave]], if the player returns to {{rt|16|Alola}}, [[Dexio]] implies that the reason for Zygarde's appearance may be due to the invasion of Ultra Beasts caused by Necrozma's summoning of Ultra Wormholes.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
=====[[The Crown Tundra]]=====
In the DLC, the Ultra Beasts, excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, can be found at the end of [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]] after the player finds the [[Legendary Clue?|fourth Legendary Clue]]. They can also be encountered by players who have not yet obtained it if they join the games of players who have. This seems to be a result of an [[Ultra Wormhole]] appearing above the Max Lair, summoned by {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/8|Sh}}. Like the [[Legendary Pokémon]] found in the Max Lair, only one of each Ultra Beast species can be caught. Poipole can be obtained as a {{pkmn2|gift}} after the player catches five Ultra Beasts in Dynamax Adventures.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
{{main|Ultra Beast (TCG Pocket)}}
Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{TCGP|Extradimensional Crisis}} expansion of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] and include all classified Ultra Beasts from the [[core series]] plus {{p|Necrozma}}'s alternate forms. Certain {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Unlike their counterparts in the physical TCG, Ultra Beast cards do not have effects dependent on earned points (the Pocket equivalent to Prize cards); however, the Trainer cards that interact with Ultra Beast cards ({{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Beast Wall|63}}, {{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Beastite|66}}, and {{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Lusamine|69}}) interact with the amount of points earned by one player.

All Ultra Beasts have attacks named after {{wp|music genre}}s.

==In animation==
[[File:Nihilego anime.png|thumb|250px|A {{p|Nihilego}} coming from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===''[[Pokémon the Series]]''===
{{main|Ultra Beasts (anime)}}
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon another Nihilego from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Beast Ball]] and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.
[[File:Poipole Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Ash]]'s {{TP|Ash|Poipole}} playing with {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

Naganadel debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.
[[File:Guzzlord anime.png|thumb|right|250px|A {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]] in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]]. In the present day, it attacked {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before they were saved by {{al|Dia}} and his {{p|Zeraora}}. In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Ash and Dia successfully sent it back to its home world through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], saving the Ultra Ruin.

Pheromosa debuted in ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]'', where it was stealing all of the [[Z-Crystal]]s from {{pkmn|Trainer}}s throughout the [[Alola]] region. After several unsuccessful attempts by the Ultra Guardians to stop it, it was eventually defeated by {{an|Bewear}}, giving the Ultra Guardians the opportunity to catch it and send it back home.

Kartana debuted in ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', where it was cutting everything throughout the [[Melemele Island]]. The Ultra Guardians attempted to capture it, but were unsuccessful. Soon after, a meteor approached from outer space, due to a conflict between a {{p|Deoxys}} and a {{p|Rayquaza}}. The Ultra Beast eventually cut it and saved it from hitting the [[Pokémon School]]. Afterwards, it made a cut in the fabric of space, which created an [[Ultra Wormhole]], allowing it to return home.
[[File:Gladion Nihilego.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Gladion}}'s {{Shiny}} Nihilego [[nickname]]d Lillie, in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
An exclusive, unseen Ultra Beast is mentioned in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where it was helped by Ash and Solgaleo during their travels through Ultra Space, they arrived in its reddish home world, full of crystal-like structures.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Ash's Solgaleo|Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{an|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''). In the [[SM146|final episode]] of the series, Ash recounted a story of an adventure he had with Solgaleo in an unnamed Ultra Space world, where he helped an Ultra Beast he had "never seen before", despite all known Ultra Beasts having debuted in the {{pkmn|animated series}} by that point.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
As revealed in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'', [[Mohn]] encountered a {{Shiny}} Nihilego after his disappearance into an Ultra Wormhole years earlier. It brought him back to his own world and used its powers to make him see it as Lillie, living with him in a small house at the [[Crown Tundra]] for years until his family found him and restored his memories. The Shiny Nihilego was subsequently invited into the family with the [[nickname]] "{{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}" and joined Gladion's [[party|team]]. In [[JN112|the following episode]], Lillie was Gladion's Pokémon of choice for a [[Battle Royal]] between him, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, and {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lusamine Ultra Beasts Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Various Ultra Beasts under [[Lusamine]]'s ownership in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
The Ultra Beasts were first mentioned in ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'' by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.
In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

In ''[[PASM17|A Raid and Po Town]]'', [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by Gladion, who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being [[Artificial Pokémon|created]] specifically to combat them.
[[File:Ultra Necrozma Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|{{form|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{adv|Necrozma}}, an Ultra Beast in the Pokémon Adventures's canon]]
Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. [[Anabel]] and {{adv|Looker}} arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was [[Colress|a certain person]] hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

A mass of Ultra Beasts later converged on [[Poni Island]], but were fought off by {{p|Lunala}}, which had evolved from [[Nebby]]. Solgaleo also wanted to join the battle, but was unable to when Sun rejected its aura and refused fight alongside it. Six months after Sun and Moon had disappeared into the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Poni Altar]], Lusamine and her Ultra Beast were shown to have taken over Poni Island. She planned to use the wormhole at the altar to travel to [[Ultra Megalopolis]] and use the [[Beast Ball]]s delivered to her by a disguised {{adv|Blake}} to capture {{p|Necrozma}}, which is classified as an Ultra Beast in this [[canon]]. Meanwhile, Sun and Moon were freed from [[Ultra Deep Sea]] by Lunala and the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who took them to Ultra Megalopolis. The city was attacked by a {{p|Stakataka}}, which Sun and Moon succeeded in subduing. Soon after, Lusamine arrived at the city with some {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s by using [[Ultra Warp Ride]] with some {{p|Naganadel}}. After fusing herself with a Nihilego, she attempted to capture Necrozma. While her attention was focused on the Prism Pokémon, Sun used one of her Beast Balls to capture Stakataka.

The battle against Necrozma eventually moved to Alola, where the Trial Captains, who had tried to join the battle, were attacked by a group of Aether Foundation Employees wielding Ultra Beasts. In the meantime, the [[island kahuna]]s joined forces with the guardian deities to fight the Ultra Beasts across Alola. The Trial Captains succeeded in defeating the Ultra Beasts with a series of [[Z-Move]]s, and once Necrozma had been caught by the Ultra Recon Squad, the Ultra Beasts sensed the threat to them had passed and started heading back to their home worlds through a wormhole above [[Mount Lanakila]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ultra Beast (TCG)}}
[[File:NihilegoGXCrimsonInvasion49.jpg|thumb|left|200px|An example of an Ultra Beast {{red GX}} card]]
[[File:UltraNecrozmaSMPromo165.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ultra Necrozma's Ultra Beast card]]
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|GX]] cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other Pokémon-GX cards. Similarly, Ultra Beast [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)#Tag Team Pokémon-GX|Tag Team GX]] have a red {{red TT GX}} graphic as opposed to a blue {{TT GX}} one.

Every Ultra Beast Pokémon has an {{TCG|attack}} or {{TCG|Ability}} that is affected by or affects the player's and/or opponent's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize card}}s. If that Pokémon is a Pokémon-{{red GX}}, its GX attack is always that attack.

Unlike the [[core series]] games, {{TCG|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, {{TCG|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}, and {{TCG|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}} are Ultra Beasts in the TCG. {{TCG|Necrozma}} in its base form, however, is not.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Buzzwole and Pheromosa are the only Ultra Beasts that share a [[type]] combination.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}.
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts and the [[level]]s at which they learn [[move]]s in [[Generation VII]] (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s, a trait shared with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved forms. The only exception to this is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** With the exceptions of Poipole and Naganadel, all Ultra Beasts have a base stat total of 570.
** The base stats of {{p|Necrozma}} and its alternate forms also consist of prime numbers, except for Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings and Ultra Necrozma's Speed stat of 77. Additionally, the levels at which they learn moves in Generation VII (except level 1) are also all prime, except for learning {{m|Photon Geyser}} at level 50 in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].
** In {{g|Shuffle}}, the Ultra Beast-exclusive {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}} {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Beast Power}} uses prime numbers for all of its activation rates (17%, 53%, and 73%). Nihilego's skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Possession}} and Buzzwole's skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Demolish}} also have prime-number activation rates (73% and 89% respectively), though only at max skill level. Beast Power and Demolish also require a prime number of skill points (61) to reach max level, and they are the only skills to require that specific amount.
* Of all the Ultra Beasts, Naganadel learns the most moves via level up with 18, and Poipole learns the fewest with 14.
* Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Guzzlord's Ultra Sun Pokédex entries and Pheromosa, Celesteela, and Kartana's Ultra Moon Pokédex entries all have exactly the same text: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives." They are the only Pokémon in the games to share Pokédex entries with each other.
* According to [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]]'s [https://www.pokemon.jp/special/mystery/file/04.html Mystery File] feature website, some researchers theorize {{p|Unown}} may be related to Ultra Beasts.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not [[Legendary Pokémon]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190712083446/http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190712083444/https://d30u2kqt4gtxnu.cloudfront.net/en-us/activities/quiz/ Legendary Pokémon quiz]: Question 10 (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/ten-tips-for-catching-legendary-pokemon/ Ten Tips for Catching Legendary Pokémon]: Pokémon.com</ref> they share some characteristics with many of them: they all are [[gender unknown]], they are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]], they have scripted encounters with special battle music and at least three {{IV}}s guaranteed to be 31, and they have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages. Furthermore:
** In Generation VII, if the player chooses to filter out people seeking Legendary or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed. In [[Pokémon HOME]], the filter originally only filtered out Mythical and [[Special Pokémon|Special]] Legendary Pokémon and did not filter out Ultra Beasts and non-Special Legendary Pokémon; however, in the v1.2.1 update, the filter was renamed to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical, and other special Pokémon" and was expanded to cover all Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts.
** Prior to [[Generation IX]],<ref>https://twitter.com/kaphotics/status/1613415551585640455</ref> the Ultra Beasts belonged to the "sublegendary" category in the games' code.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/799322666079551488 Tweet by Michael (@SciresM).] Posted on November 17, 2016.</ref>
** In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Peony]] refers to both Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts as "legendary".
** In a Pokémon Sword and Shield online competition called "Mythical Melee" that claimed to restrict players to the use of only Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Ultra Beasts were allowed to participate.<ref>https://game8.co/games/pokemon-sword-shield/archives/341015#hm_1</ref>
** In [[GOTCHA!]], the Ultra Beasts are shown as silhouettes alongside the rest of the Legendary Pokémon.<ref>https://youtu.be/BoZ0Zwab6Oc?t=37</ref>
* The Ultra Beasts share some similarities with the [[Paradox Pokémon]], introduced two [[generation]]s later:
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist entirely of gender unknown Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, thus being unable to breed.
** Both are connected to the [[Game mascot|mascot]] Legendary Pokémon of the games they were introduced in.
** Excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, both consist of Pokémon that are unable to evolve into or from another Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and the future Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers. Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves around multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves around prime numbers.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Excluding Xurtitree and Poipole, both consist of Pokémon who are dual typed.
** Every Ultra Beast and Paradox Pokémon (except {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one appearing in Pokémon Scarlet resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon, and one appearing in Pokémon Violet resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow typical Pokémon naming conventions. All of them [[List of categories by abundance|share the titular category]] of "{{pkmn|category|Paradox Pokémon}}".

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''',<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ </ref> '''Monsters of Area Zero'''<ref>[[Scarlet Book]] and [[Violet Book]]</ref> (Japanese: '''エリアゼロの{{ruby|怪物|かいぶつ}}''' ''Monsters of Area Zero''), and '''Enigmas of Paldea'''<ref>{{DL|Magazines_in_the_Pokémon_world|Occulture}}</ref> (Japanese: '''パルデア{{ruby|未確認|みかくにん}}''') by researchers and {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} researches Paradox Pokémon. The professor also refers to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}.

The precise origin of the Paradox Pokémon is unclear; AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/AI Turo{{sup/9|V}} claims that they originate from different points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient/futuristic form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> (specifically the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}), while a version of Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}} suggests that they are from [[Pokémon multiverse|different timelines]] (despite not having met and studied Paradox Pokemon yet because this version of Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} has not yet built the time machine and has not completed its research, unlike the AI).<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>

They were apparently brought to [[Area Zero]] in the present day by the [[time machine]] built by the professor, but the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} documents sightings of them prior to the time machine being built. Terapagos appears to have a connection to the Paradox Pokémon's appearance in the present day due to the [[Terastal energy]] it produces.

==List of Paradox Pokémon==
As a group, Paradox Pokémon share multiple similarities with one another, including a [[Base stats|base stat]] total of either 570, 590, or 670, sharing {{Abilities}} related to either [[harsh sunlight]] or {{m|Electric Terrain}}, and having two [[type]]s.

====Ancient Pokémon====
These Pokémon are ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in battle. All ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their [[cry|cries]].

| style="text-align: left" | '''Great Tusk: A Living Relic of the Dinosaur Era?!'''
* In [[Asado Desert|one arid corner]] of [[Paldea]], there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a {{p|Donphan}} at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious [[Scarlet Book]].

* Somewhere in a [[Paldea]]n forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the [[Scarlet Book]] that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon {{p|Amoonguss}}. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned [[Scarlet Book]].
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.

* Flutter Mane—a name taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the [[Scarlet Book]]—is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it.
* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant {{p|Misdreavus}} at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]] of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling [[Scarlet Book]].
* Slither Wing shares traits with {{p|Volcarona}}, so some theorize that it may have been revived from [[fossil]]s from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.

| {{typecolor|Electric}}{{typecolor|Ground}}
| style="text-align: left" | '''Sandy Shocks: A Magneton with a 10-Thousand-Year Lifespan?!'''
* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a {{p|Magneton}} that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in [[Paldea]]'s more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining [[Scarlet Book]].

* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the [[Scarlet Book]]. It looks similar to {{p|Salamence}} when they undergo a [[Mega Evolution|certain phenomenon]] [[Kalos|elsewhere]] in the {{pkmn|world}}, but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.

| style="text-align: left" | '''Pokédex entries: Apex Build'''
* This seems to be the Winged King mentioned in [[Scarlet Book|an old expedition journal]]. It was said to have split the land with its bare fists.
* This Pokémon resembles {{p|Cyclizar}}, but it is far burlier and more ferocious. Nothing is known about its ecology or other features.
'''Pokédex entries: Limited Build{{tt|*|Unused in the final release of the game}}'''
* The ecology and other data about this Pokémon are unknown. It was named Koraidon by the [[Professor Sada|professor who discovered it]].
* It has similar characteristics to a creature described in [[Scarlet Book|an old book]] as the Winged King.

====Future Pokémon====
These Pokémon are futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Quark Drive}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Miraidon}}, which has {{a|Hadron Engine}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of {{m|Electric Terrain}} in battle. All future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise. Their names all contain the word "iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) as a prefix, with the exception of Miraidon — it, however, is also known as "Iron Serpent".

* In [[Asado Desert|one arid corner]] of [[Paldea]], there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a {{p|Donphan}} at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious [[Violet Book]].

* The mysterious [[Violet Book]] makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like {{p|Delibird}} and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.

* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious [[Violet Book]]. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles {{p|Hariyama}}, however, remains unanswered.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to {{p|Hydreigon}} has been seen in a certain corner of [[Paldea]]. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the [[Violet Book]].

* The name Iron Moth was borrowed from that of a flying object described in the era-defining [[Violet Book]]. It was said to resemble {{p|Volcarona}} and would descend from the skies, following people around and occasionally even attacking them.
* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|alien]] life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...

* A strange being called Iron Thorns has been sighted in a certain cave in [[Paldea]]. This being bears a strong resemblance to {{p|Tyranitar}}, but it apparently displays great coolheadedness and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights.
* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the [[Violet Book]].

* This oddity's name is borrowed from that of an object described in the [[Violet Book]]. One theory holds that it is in fact a robot—the product of a mad scientist's efforts to create the most powerful [[Psychic (type)|psychic]] Pokémon of all.
* According to its few eyewitnesses, Iron Valiant appears similar to both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}. It's also said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.

===History===
{{spoilers}}
====Background====
It is unknown where the Paradox Pokémon originate from. Conflicting accounts claim that they either come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, or from different timelines.

=====[[Area Zero]] expedition=====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Legendary beasts]]]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Swords of Justice]]]]
</div>
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon. They at some point also encountered a {{p|Koraidon|Winged King}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}{{sup/9|V}} that was used in Heath's [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}'s cover. After encountering each of the known Paradox Pokémon, Heath named each of them in his journal.

At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea, but they could've been brought over by the {{Ga|Terapagos}} that slumbers in [[Area Zero Underdepths]]. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time.

=====Project {{Tera}}=====
10 years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a [[time machine]] built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's Terastal energy. The professor is said to have used the time machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before bringing them into modern time. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

A quirky, friendly {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. At some point, the professor also renamed the species from Winged King{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Serpent{{sup/9|V}} to Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, taking the name from a [[player|youth]] after they found themselves in an [[Crystal Pool|unfamiliar place]]. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in Area Zero and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

====={{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}=====
Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, some Paradox Pokémon started to escape Area Zero, so a paranormal magazine called {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} started publishing articles on recent sightings of them, theorizing about what the Paradox Pokémon could be and mentioning their similarities to the entities mentioned in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. According to the [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] and the Occulture issues, sightings of all Paradox Pokémon happened all over Paldea, which implies that at least one of each of the Paradox Pokémon managed to escape the crater at some point. Later, a lone {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} escaped Area Zero like others did and become a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Herba Mystica]] while roaming the [[Asado Desert]], being known as the Quaking Earth Titan.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
=====Path of Legends=====
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Great Tusk.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Great Tusk from the Scarlet Book|Illustration of {{p|Great Tusk}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Scarlet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
[[File:Violet Book Iron Treads.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Iron Treads from the Violet Book|Illustration of {{p|Iron Treads}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Violet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
</div>
During the events of the game, the {{player}} and [[Arven]] travel around Paldea to defeat each of the Titan Pokémon and take their Herba Mystica, which includes the Quaking Earth Titan, putting an end to its rampage and taking its Herbs, which forced it back to its original size.

=====The Way Home=====
During the events of The Way Home in Scarlet and Violet, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a wild {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a wild Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI professor's Paradox Protection Protocol fights the player using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine. After a long battle, the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} successfully defeat the Paradox Protection Protocol and the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when the AI professor used it one final time to travel to the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

=====Post-game Paradox Pokémon=====
Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}} have only appeared in special [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, Slither Wing{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Moth{{sup/9|V}}, Iron Bundle, Flutter Mane{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Jugulis{{sup/9|V}}, and Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} have also appeared in special Tera Raids.

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
Later on after helping [[Perrin]] find the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[The Teal Mask]], she appears in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], working there as a photographer to get promotional pictures for the academy. After the player catches 200 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] and shows the player two blurry pictures, one of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and one of {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}, however, she's unsure if the creatures caught in these pictures are even real to begin with. After that, the two Paradox Pokémon can be encountered in Area Zero close to where the pictures were taken, surprising Perrin that they were indeed real Pokémon.

During [[Briar]]'s expedition in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], the player encounters a [[Stellar (type)|Stellar]] Tera Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} that they need to defeat in order to open the way to travel deeper.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{UNITE|Miraidon}} is a playable Pokémon through obtaining a Unite License. It is a ranged attacker that can only be played in its {{form|Miraidon|Ultimate Mode}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Miraidon TRE.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Miraidon}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
A {{p|Koraidon}} debuted in the [[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth|post-episode segment]] of [[JN137]], where {{TRT}} tried to catch it but failed, resulting in them getting rammed by Koraidon and sent blasting off. A {{p|Miraidon}} debuted in the post-episode segment of [[JN138]], where Team Rocket tried to catch it as well, but failed, resulting in them getting shocked and sent blasting off.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Lucius Gouging Fire.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Gouging Fire}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
Paradox Pokémon were first referenced in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. After [[Dot]] asked [[Chalce|"Chive"]] if she is a fan of the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, the undercover [[Explorers]] member mentioned a resurrected prehistoric {{p|Volcarona}} ({{p|Slither Wing}}) and a {{p|Jigglypuff}} from a billion years ago ({{p|Scream Tail}}), both creatures featured in the Occulture, though she found the ideas presented in the magazine absurd.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Briar]] mentioned that her ancestor [[Heath]] had encountered many unusual Pokémon within [[Area Zero]], referencing Paradox Pokémon. A Pokémon resembling {{p|Great Tusk}} appeared in a flashback as she was recounting her tale. In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Paradox Pokémon were directly mentioned by [[Poppy]] while the [[Paldea]] [[Elite Four]] were describing the powerful and dangerous Pokémon that reside in Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ080|Total-lie Awesome Pokémon in Area Zero?!]]'', while exploring Area Zero, [[Roy]] got separated from [[Liko]], Dot, [[Friede]], and Briar, encountered and battled a {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, and even managed to defeat it. Simultaneously, [[Coral]] encountered a Scream Tail and a Great Tusk, which she fought together with Scream Tail to chase off. She also accidentally {{pkmn2|caught}} the Scream Tail and [[nickname]]d it "{{DL|Coral|Screamypuff}}". Meanwhile, Briar explained to Dot that Paradox Pokémon are ancient or future form of existing Pokémon that should have no place in the present day, which is why they're called Paradox Pokémon. In the [[HZ081|next episode]], the group finally encountered [[Lucius]]'s {{p|Entei}}, but it was revealed to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, due to Paradox Pokémon not being known at the time, it was mistaken with its modern-day counterpart. It took Lucius's old belt as a test and battled the four of them, agreeing to return to its [[Ancient Poké Ball]] once they took it back.

===Biri-Biri===
In [[Biri-Biri]], a {{p|Koraidon}} appeared under {{ga|Juliana|Anna}}'s ownership, serving as her ride in the music video. Additionally, a {{p|Great Tusk}}, specifically the {{pkmn2|Titan|Quaking Earth Titan}}, briefly appeared as a silhouette as well.

==In the manga==
[[File:Violet Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|{{p|Miraidon}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Paradox Donphan Adventures.png|thumb|280px|{{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Great Tusk}} in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
{{ga|Miraidon}} debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'' as {{Violet}}'s ride Pokémon. In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet revealed to {{adv|Arven}} that he had encountered it on a beach at [[Poco Path]], after which [[Professor Turo]] had contracted him and asked him to take care of it.

In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet and Arven visited the [[Asado Desert]] and encountered two Paradox Pokémon; the {{pkmn2|Titan|Quaking Earth Titan}} {{p|Iron Treads}} and a {{p|Great Tusk}}. Being outmatched against the former, they were ultimately forced to retreat. Upon re-encountering the two in [[PASV24]], they discovered that the Great Tusk had become a Titan Pokémon as well. In [[PASV25]], Violet and Arven received unexpected help from [[Kofu]] and [[Saguaro]], allowing them to defeat the two Titans and obtain the [[Sour Herba Mystica]] they had been guarding.

==In the TCG==
:''Main articles: [[Ancient (TCG)]]; [[Future (TCG)]]''
[[File:ScreamTailParadoxRift86.jpg|thumb|left|200px|An example of an Ancient Pokémon card]]
[[File:IronBundleParadoxRift56.jpg|thumb|200px|An example of a Future Pokémon card]]

The Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Koraidon, and Miraidon appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] starting with the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. Non-Pokémon ex versions of Koraidon and Miraidon were also released in the same expansion.

Starting with the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} and {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansions), two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released from this set onward. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

The descriptions on the back of the Iron Valiant, Iron Leaves, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown boxes explain that the Paradox Pokémon come from the past and the future.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The [[Shiny]] colorations of the ancient Paradox Pokémon are based on the Shiny colorations of the Pokémon they are based on. In contrast, every future Paradox Pokémon has a metallic grey Shiny coloration, possibly to reflect their robotic appearances and natures. The only exceptions to these are {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}.
* These Pokémon are similar to [[convergent species]] in that they bear a striking resemblance to certain Pokémon but are nonetheless completely different species.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both ancient and future Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** All three of these Pokémon have {{type|Fighting}} ancient counterparts.
* Volcarona is the only Pokémon with Paradox Pokémon relatives that can be naturally found in the same area as them.
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}}, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower [[Base stats|base stat]] total than their contemporary counterparts (all of which are [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]).
* The ancient Pokémon, {{p|Flutter Mane}}, {{p|Scream Tail}} and {{p|Sandy Shocks}} are the only Paradox Pokémon whose contemporary relatives are not fully evolved. Furthermore, these contemporary Pokémon all evolve with [[Evolution stone]]s.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same version as its present-day counterpart in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, except for the post-release Paradox Pokémon based on [[legendary trio]]s; for example, both {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives and have another type that the relative lacks.
** There is at least one Paradox Pokémon of every type except {{t|Normal}}.
** {{t|Dragon}} is the most common types for Paradox Pokémon to have, with six Paradox Pokémon having it.
** Miraidon and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to share both of their types with each other.
* The naming convention for Paradox Pokémon differs by language:
** In {{pmin|Spanish}}, {{pmin|Italian}}, and {{pmin|German}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a single word.
** In {{pmin|English}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a two-word descriptor; all future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" as the first word in their names.
** In {{pmin|French}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with two or three words hyphenated into a single name; all future Paradox Pokémon have the suffix "-de-Fer" in their names.
* All ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon except Miraidon are shorter.
** Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon weigh more than the Pokémon they are based on except {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which weighs the same as {{p|Magneton}}.
* {{p|Raging Bolt}} and {{p|Gouging Fire}} are the only ancient Paradox Pokémon that do not have yellow eyes.
* Despite all of the future Paradox Pokémon having “Iron” in their name, only {{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Crown}} are actually {{t|Steel}} type.
* In their battle against the player in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon present in the base game, with the exception of {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, which is instead fought as a [[Titan Pokémon]] earlier in the story.
* [[Generation II]] and [[Generation V]] are both tied for having the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during them, at seven each. Out of the [[generation]]s that have at least one, [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, at {{p|Gallade|one}}. [[Generation VI]], [[Generation VII]], and [[Generation VIII]] all have no Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon at all (though Roaring Moon is based on [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Salamence}}, a form that was introduced in Generation VI).
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both appear to originate from [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]].
** Both groups consist entirely of gender unknown Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, thus being unable to breed.
** Both are connected to the [[Game mascot|mascot]] Legendary Pokémon of the games they were introduced in.
** Excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, both consist of Pokémon that are unable to evolve into or from another Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and the future Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers. Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves around multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves around prime numbers.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Every Ultra Beast and Paradox Pokémon (except {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
** With the exception of Koraidon and Miraidon, both groups have a certain sound sample that recurs in their cries.
** Despite sharing several traits in common with Legendary Pokémon (such as the aforementioned base stat total and Egg Group), and despite several Paradox Pokémon being counterparts of Legendary Pokémon, the members of both groups (except Koraidon and Miraidon) are not considered Legendary Pokémon.
* The term "Paradox Pokémon" may be a reference to ''{{wp|Animalia Paradoxa}}'' or the concept of a {{wp|temporal paradox}}.
* The Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon) and {{p|Type: Null}} are the only Pokémon to have [[List of Spanish Pokémon names|Spanish]], [[List of Italian Pokémon names|Italian]], [[List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon names|Brazilian Portuguese]], and [[List of Turkish Pokémon names|Turkish]] names different to their English names, [[List of Russian Pokémon names|Russian]] names that are not orthographic transcriptions of their English names, and [[List of Thai Pokémon names|Thai]] names that are not orthographic transcriptions of their Japanese names.
* All Paradox Pokémon's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in the versions they are not obtainable in reference [[Magazines in the Pokémon world#Occulture|Occulture]], except Koraidon and Miraidon, whose entries instead reference them resembling Cyclizar but being more aggressive, as well as little being known about them.

[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork of the Ultra Beasts from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500338799587328 Tweet by ありがひとし (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>]]
'''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast''), also abbreviated as '''UBs''' (Japanese: '''ＵＢ''' ''UB''), are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]] by assistance of an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The first seven were introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with four more being introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, totaling up to 11 Ultra Beasts in total, (12 if {{p|Necrozma}} were to be included in some media). They play an important role in Sun and Moon's [[Looker Episode]]. They are similar to, but classified differently from [[Legendary Pokémon]], even being internally classified as "sublegendary" until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, where they have been internally reclassified as their own group.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from Ultra Wormholes. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as it is for most people, making them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an Ultra Wormhole, known as [[Faller]]s, due to the residual [[Z-Power|energy]] left on them, apparently expecting to find another wormhole they can use to return home. These Pokémon absorb these auras inside their body, granting them a specialized boost in power known as a {{a|Beast Boost}}, an [[Ability]] they all share.<ref>"''The UBs surround themselves with an aura called the Beast Boost. The truth of this aura is that it is the energy that flows within the Ultra Wormhole. When the UBs pass through the Ultra Wormhole, they are bathed in a great deal of this energy and likely store it within their bodies.''" -[[Wicke]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> No Ultra Beasts have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]].

The Ultra Beasts' base stats tend to have extremely erratic and unbalanced distribution compared to other Pokémon.

When an Ultra Beast is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the [[Z-Power]] from Ultra Wormholes manifest as a red aura that boosts one of its [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura.<ref>[[Wicke]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"There are also Pokémon on our planet that possess this same kind of energy. I think you know what I mean. The so-called Totem Pokémon that you faced in your trials."''</ref> All Ultra Beasts, as well as the {{p|Cosmog}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line and {{p|Necrozma}}, all share a unique sound frequency found in their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.25 seconds in duration.

All [[Poké Ball]]s (except for the [[Master Ball]], which can catch any Pokémon without fail) have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, and thus have a [[catch rate]] modifier of 410/4096× (~0.1×) when used on them, impairing their ability to effectively [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] them. To circumvent this, the [[Aether Foundation]]'s Aether Branch Chief, [[Faba]] created the [[Beast Ball]], a type of Poké Ball specifically designed to catch Ultra Beasts. These Poké Balls have a catch rate modifier of 5× when used on them, though they have a modifier of 410/4096× (~0.1×) on Pokémon that are not Ultra Beasts.

==Concept and development==
Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.<ref>Interview with [[Game Freak]] in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]'', pp. vi-vii: '''Ohmori:''' ''"...When I read about [invasive species], I wondered if we couldn't express invasive species in the Pokémon world as well, and the idea we came up with was the Ultra Beasts..."''</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] had advised that each Ultra Beast design incorporate contradictory elements, along with concepts that are typically avoided when creating new Pokémon to differentiate them from other Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180303181205/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/an-exclusive-interview-with-the-makers-of-pokemon-ultra-sun-and-pokemon-ultra-moon/ An Exclusive Interview with the makers of ''Pokémon Ultra Sun'' and ''Pokémon Ultra Moon''! | Pokemon.com,] archived March 3rd, 2018</ref>

[[Staff of Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun and Moon's lead character artist]], [[Yusuke Ohmura]], had revealed that the Ultra Beasts were designed by recalling previous designs rejected by [[Ken Sugimori]], and applying the very reasons why they were rejected to the Ultra Beasts' designs.<ref>https://x.com/yusuke_omura/status/2018851331562500430</ref><ref>https://x.com/yusuke_omura/status/2018968060804346043</ref> {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Guzzlord}}, {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}} were the only four who had their designers revealed, all created by [[James Turner]].

==List of Ultra Beasts==
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the {{player}} is requested to find and [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] all Ultra Beasts that have been spotted in Alola. [[Looker]] of the [[International Police]] and [[Wicke]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] provide the player with information on the Pokémon both during and after their mission with an Ultra Beast. Looker will also provide information on {{p|Necrozma}} through the player's [[Pokédex]] after they have caught it.

| [[File:Fall in the UB - Nihilego.png|x100px]]<br>[[Ultra Deep Sea]]
| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-01. Code name: “Symbiont.” Properly known as Nihilego. There have been sightings reported of this beast in Alola’s past. Its most distinctive feature is its parasitic capability. When Nihilego latches on to a host, it does not manipulate its actions directly. Rather it awakens the host’s own capabilities and boosts them to an extreme extent in order to protect itself.
* It injects the host with a sort of neurotoxin to achieve this effect. This neurotoxin of Nihilego’s is incredibly stimulating and inspires feelings of extreme excitement and a lack of inhibition in its host. In other words, anything or anyone that Nihilego latches on to will have its native skills forcibly activated to their fullest extent and will then act as it naturally desires to.

| UB-02 Absorption
| [[File:Fall in the UB - Buzzwole.png|x100px]]<br>[[Ultra Jungle]]
| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-02. Code name: “Absorption.” Properly known as Buzzwole. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is its skill to strengthen itself. Buzzwole is able to absorb energy and then achieve a chemical reaction between the energy it has absorbed and its own body fluids.
* As a result, Buzzwole’s body swells to an almost explosive extent. Its muscles bulge and are so thick and dense that they are stronger even than steel. Both its Attack and Defense experience a clear leap in power. It also displays a habit of striking a pose each time that it takes any sort of action... It is thought this might serve as a method of communication, but it is not well understood.

* UB-02. Code name: “Beauty.” Properly known as Pheromosa. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. This UB can reach speeds exceeding 120 mph in just an instant. This speed is greater than any other living creature that has been discovered to date. But its most distinctive features may in fact be its beauty and its powerful pheromones.
* Most any creature that squares off against Pheromosa becomes confused, as if struck by the beast’s beauty, and loses the will to fight. It is still a subject of research, but it’s thought that Pheromosa may possess some sort of organ able to produce a pheromonal substance previously unknown to science.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-03. Code name: “Lighting.” Properly known as Xurkitree. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is an organ that can generate power. This UB’s bodily makeup is highly reminiscent of electric wiring, thus enabling it to conduct electricity with great efficiency.
* It can discharge as much as a million volts of power at a time. When it begins to run out of power, it stabs its legs and tail into the soil, entering a treelike state as it absorbs electricity from the ground.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-04. Code name: “Blaster.” Properly known as Celesteela. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is the energy that it stores within itself, a flammable gas that it can shoot from its two huge arms.
* This is mostly used to propel itself in flight and for battle, but it is thought to have sufficient power and lift to even fly into space. Its bodily construction closely resembles that of a plant, and it absorbs nutrients from the soil.

| [[File:Fall in the UB - Kartana.png|x100px]]<br>[[Ultra Forest]]
| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-04. Code name: “Blade.” Properly known as Kartana. This UB was sighted for the first time following the incidents at Aether Foundation. Its most distinctive feature is its thin and razor-sharp body, of which every edge has as cruel a cutting edge as any well-honed blade. The edges on its arms are particularly in a class of their own.
* Any opponent who tries to attack it will be cut down with a single strike of its “blades.” Its thin body also allows it to evade attacks by dancing lightly out of the way. This is a very dangerous creature, considering its excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, but due to the nature of its body, it is also highly vulnerable to fire and moisture.

| style="text-align: left" |
* UB-05. Code name: “Glutton.” Properly known as Guzzlord. This UB has been sighted in the Alola region in the past as well, according to our reports. It seems it was targeted by the International Police in a top-secret mission at that time. Its most distinctive feature is its limitless appetite. It feeds without pause every moment that it is awake.
* It uses the two large tongues that protrude from its mouth to catch and devour everything in its path, be it organic or inorganic matter. And while it eats such an inordinate amount, Guzzlord excreta has never been discovered. It is thought that it might fully convert the things that it eats into energy for it to use.

==Related Pokémon==
{{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are thematically related to the Ultra Beasts, and share many similarities with them, although they are not usually considered to be Ultra Beasts themselves. However, in some media, Necrozma is considered to be an Ultra Beast, although none of the other four are.

;Noted similarities to Ultra Beasts:
* The disputed Pokémon are thematically related to the Ultra Beasts and Ultra Space, including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes.
* In the core series games, the disputed Pokémon include a sound frequency within their [[Cry|cries]] that is also shared with all Ultra Beasts.
* In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]]'s research for the [[Aether Foundation]] hypothesized that Cosmog may be an Ultra Beast due to it originating from Ultra Space.<ref>{{g|Sun and Moon}}: "''Cosmog is hypothesized to be a type of Ultra Beast that hails from another dimension. A dimension that we have named Ultra Space.'' - Aether Report: Cosmog</ref>
* In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is often referred to as being similar to an Ultra Beast.
** In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Looker claims "''It was black and yet it was shining somehow! It was...it was like it was refracting light! It might have been a UB! No, I'm certain of it! It surely was a UB!''"
** In Pokémon Sun and Moon, after catching Necrozma, the following dialogue is displayed: "''You caught the mysterious life-form that appeared to be an Ultra Beast...''"
** Necrozma's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun describes it as "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts."
** In Pokémon Ultra Sun, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast".
* Ultra Necrozma's battle at Megalo Tower has its stats raised and covered in [[Z-Power]], similar to that of an Ultra Beast. However, the aura that surrounds the Pokémon is yellow as if it were using a [[Z-Move]] rather than the typical red aura that Ultra Beasts are covered in.
* In the English localization of the core series games, the term "beast" is used to refer to the Ultra Beasts<ref>Multiple characters refer to Ultra Beasts, specifically {{p|Nihilego}}, as "beast" or "beasts", e.g. {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"There should be plenty of beautiful beasts appearing all around Alola as we speak!"'' - [[Lusamine]]</ref> as well as Necrozma,<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}: ''"But what are we to do now? It seemed to me like that beast...like Necrozma was also suffering somehow... It seemed to hurt it, to be without its light..."''</ref> and is also used in mythology to refer to Solgaleo and Lunala (as "the beast that devours the sun" and "the beast that calls the moon").<ref>In the book ''[[Malie Library|The Light of Alola]]'' in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Solgaleo is referred to as "the beast that devours the sun" or "beast of sun", while Lunala is referred to as "the beast that calls the moon" or "beast of moon".</ref><ref>A book in [[Malie Library]] states ''"The pillager took from us the beast that devours the sun, using the beast as its own Dusk Mane."'' in Ultra Sun; in Ultra Moon it says ''"The pillager took from us the beast that calls the moon, using the beast as its own Dawn Wings."''</ref><ref>''"The altar on Poni...

** In languages other than English and Spanish, either distinct terms are used for both, or shorthand is not used to refer to the Ultra Beasts. For example, in Japanese, different terms are used to refer to the Ultra Beasts (Japanese: ビースト ''beast'') than to Solgaleo and Lunala (Japanese: {{Ruby|獣|けもの}} ''beast'').
** In all languages other than English, Necrozma is never described as a "beast" at all. In the lines that refer to it as such in English, no equivalent term appears in other languages.
* In {{aniseries|SM}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking it for an Ultra Beast, gives {{an|Necrozma}} the code name "UB Black" (Japanese: {{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}} ''UB: Black'').
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Beast Balls were used to catch Necrozma after raids during Go Fest 2024 - Global, and it received the catch rate boost from them.

;Distinctions from Ultra Beasts
* In the core series games, these Pokémon are not considered to be Ultra Beasts. This has several functional implications:
** Beast Balls do not have increased effectiveness against them, and other Poké Balls do not have reduced effectiveness against them.
** These Pokémon do not display their names as ??? before being caught in Generation VII.
* Unlike the Ultra Beasts, none of these Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Beast Boost}}.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], these Pokémon cannot have the {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}} {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Beast Power}}, but all Ultra Beasts can.
* In Pokémon Sun and Moon, after completing the [[Looker Episode]], the [[International Police]] report that all Ultra Beasts they had detected had been caught, even while Necrozma is still in the wild.
* In [[Pokémon GO]]'s [[Pokémon Box (GO)|search]] and [[Pokémon HOME]]'s {{OBP|Challenge|HOME}}s, these Pokémon are not considered Ultra Beasts.
* In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, and Lunala are not Ultra Beasts.

;Media in which Necrozma is considered an Ultra Beast
* In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]], Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma are all Ultra Beasts, but Necrozma's default form is not.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Necrozma}} is an Ultra Beast, and a Beast Ball was required to capture it.
* [[Pokémon Duel]] considers all forms of Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
Ultra Beasts originate from other [[dimension]]s accessed through the [[Ultra Space]], an interdimensional realm connected to other worlds through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s.

=====[[International Police]] Sightings=====
The first recorded sightings of Ultra Beasts in [[Alola]] had occurred 10 years before the events of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. At that point, Ultra Beasts were not named, abbreviated or not, and were referred to as dangerous creatures instead of Pokémon.<ref>"''Of course we did not know them as UBs back then. It was simply a dangerous creature. My team succeeded in chasing down the UB. And then we tried to put an end to it...''" - [[Looker]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> As a part of the [[International Police]], [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Faller}} were ordered to track down the Pokémon and eradicate them, using the Faller as a form of bait to lure Ultra Beasts. Unfortunately, due to a mishap on Looker's part, the Faller lost her life to one of the Ultra Beasts.

[[Guzzlord]], also found in the Alola [[region]], has been mentioned to have been a target by the International Police in previous top-secret missions.<ref>"''This UB has been sighted in the Alola region in the past as well, according to our reports. It seems it was targeted by the International Police in a top-secret mission at that time.''" -[[Wicke]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Sometime after these missions, the International Police began referring to each UB by a code name with the acronym, UB, followed by a number and word (such as "UB-01 Symbiont").<ref>"''Yes, UB-01...Symbiont. I suppose you knew it as Nihilego. The International Police refers to all of the UBs by code names, like Symbiont there.''" - [[Anabel]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> Eventually, the [[Aether Foundation]], having begun their own research, gave each Ultra Beast their own names.

=====[[Aether Foundation]]'s research=====
A few years before the events of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], while conducting research at the [[Aether Foundation]], [[Mohn]] discovered and proved the existence of Ultra Wormholes and the Ultra Space beyond them. Mohn had also discovered Ultra Beasts and a species now known as {{p|Cosmog}}, which could create Ultra Wormholes under heavy stress, leading to the theory that Cosmog may be an Ultra Beast. Eventually, Mohn came into contact with an Ultra Beast, {{p|Nihilego}}. However, at some point, Mohn was vanished into an Ultra Wormhole, leaving behind a Cosmog and his research on Nihilego.

In hopes of finding her husband again, President [[Lusamine]] had begun her own research on the Pokémon and phenomenon. The Aether Foundation had created an [[beast killer project|Anti-UB Fighting life-form]], a beast killer, used as a weapon against Ultra Beasts. Additionally, [[Beast Ball]]s, a special type of [[Poké Ball]] developed by [[Faba]], were created to capture Ultra Beasts.

===={{g|Sun and Moon}}====
During the main story of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This Ultra Wormhole was later revealed to have come from the gases of [[Nebby|Cosmog]] down in the basement of Aether Paradise.<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref>

During the player's confrontation with Lusamine at their return to the facility, Lusamine is revealed to have captured [[Nebby]] and uses its power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; {{p|Nihilego}} is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several Nihilego in [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

=====Post game=====
After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives the [[Enigmatic Card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
During the story of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}.

Like in the main story of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing from an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This Ultra Wormhole was later revealed to have come from the gases of [[Nebby|Cosmog]] down in the basement of Aether Paradise.

During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{Ga|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole]]s all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into the region. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing off against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters {{P|Xurkitree}} at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

=====Post game=====
The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating Necrozma at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player is asked to catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]] by the Ultra Recon Squad.

After catching the {{Ga|Zygarde}} in [[Resolution Cave]], if the player returns to {{rt|16|Alola}}, [[Dexio]] implies that the reason for Zygarde's appearance may be due to the invasion of Ultra Beasts caused by Necrozma's summoning of Ultra Wormholes.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
=====[[The Crown Tundra]]=====
In the DLC, the Ultra Beasts, excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, can be found at the end of [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]] after the player finds the [[Legendary Clue?|fourth Legendary Clue]]. They can also be encountered by players who have not yet obtained it if they join the games of players who have. This seems to be a result of an [[Ultra Wormhole]] appearing above the Max Lair, summoned by {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/8|Sh}}. Like the [[Legendary Pokémon]] found in the Max Lair, only one of each Ultra Beast species can be caught. Poipole can be obtained as a {{pkmn2|gift}} after the player catches five Ultra Beasts in Dynamax Adventures.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
{{main|Ultra Beast (TCG Pocket)}}
Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{TCGP|Extradimensional Crisis}} expansion of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] and include all classified Ultra Beasts from the [[core series]] plus {{p|Necrozma}}'s alternate forms. Certain {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Unlike their counterparts in the physical TCG, Ultra Beast cards do not have effects dependent on earned points (the Pocket equivalent to Prize cards); however, the Trainer cards that interact with Ultra Beast cards ({{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Beast Wall|63}}, {{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Beastite|66}}, and {{TCG ID|Extradimensional Crisis|Lusamine|69}}) interact with the amount of points earned by one player.

All Ultra Beasts have attacks named after {{wp|music genre}}s.

==In animation==
[[File:Nihilego anime.png|thumb|250px|A {{p|Nihilego}} coming from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===''[[Pokémon the Series]]''===
{{main|Ultra Beasts (anime)}}
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon another Nihilego from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Beast Ball]] and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.
[[File:Poipole Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Ash]]'s {{TP|Ash|Poipole}} playing with {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

Naganadel debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.
[[File:Guzzlord anime.png|thumb|right|250px|A {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]] in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'']]
Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]]. In the present day, it attacked {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before they were saved by {{al|Dia}} and his {{p|Zeraora}}. In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Ash and Dia successfully sent it back to its home world through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], saving the Ultra Ruin.

Pheromosa debuted in ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]'', where it was stealing all of the [[Z-Crystal]]s from {{pkmn|Trainer}}s throughout the [[Alola]] region. After several unsuccessful attempts by the Ultra Guardians to stop it, it was eventually defeated by {{an|Bewear}}, giving the Ultra Guardians the opportunity to catch it and send it back home.

Kartana debuted in ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', where it was cutting everything throughout the [[Melemele Island]]. The Ultra Guardians attempted to capture it, but were unsuccessful. Soon after, a meteor approached from outer space, due to a conflict between a {{p|Deoxys}} and a {{p|Rayquaza}}. The Ultra Beast eventually cut it and saved it from hitting the [[Pokémon School]]. Afterwards, it made a cut in the fabric of space, which created an [[Ultra Wormhole]], allowing it to return home.
[[File:Gladion Nihilego.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Gladion}}'s {{Shiny}} Nihilego [[nickname]]d Lillie, in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
An exclusive, unseen Ultra Beast is mentioned in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where it was helped by Ash and Solgaleo during their travels through Ultra Space, they arrived in its reddish home world, full of crystal-like structures.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Ash's Solgaleo|Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{an|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''). In the [[SM146|final episode]] of the series, Ash recounted a story of an adventure he had with Solgaleo in an unnamed Ultra Space world, where he helped an Ultra Beast he had "never seen before", despite all known Ultra Beasts having debuted in the {{pkmn|animated series}} by that point.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
As revealed in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'', [[Mohn]] encountered a {{Shiny}} Nihilego after his disappearance into an Ultra Wormhole years earlier. It brought him back to his own world and used its powers to make him see it as Lillie, living with him in a small house at the [[Crown Tundra]] for years until his family found him and restored his memories. The Shiny Nihilego was subsequently invited into the family with the [[nickname]] "{{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}" and joined Gladion's [[party|team]]. In [[JN112|the following episode]], Lillie was Gladion's Pokémon of choice for a [[Battle Royal]] between him, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, and {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lusamine Ultra Beasts Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Various Ultra Beasts under [[Lusamine]]'s ownership in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
The Ultra Beasts were first mentioned in ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'' by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.
In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

In ''[[PASM17|A Raid and Po Town]]'', [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by Gladion, who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being [[Artificial Pokémon|created]] specifically to combat them.
[[File:Ultra Necrozma Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|{{form|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{adv|Necrozma}}, an Ultra Beast in the Pokémon Adventures's canon]]
Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. [[Anabel]] and {{adv|Looker}} arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was [[Colress|a certain person]] hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

A mass of Ultra Beasts later converged on [[Poni Island]], but were fought off by {{p|Lunala}}, which had evolved from [[Nebby]]. Solgaleo also wanted to join the battle, but was unable to when Sun rejected its aura and refused fight alongside it. Six months after Sun and Moon had disappeared into the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Poni Altar]], Lusamine and her Ultra Beast were shown to have taken over Poni Island. She planned to use the wormhole at the altar to travel to [[Ultra Megalopolis]] and use the [[Beast Ball]]s delivered to her by a disguised {{adv|Blake}} to capture {{p|Necrozma}}, which is classified as an Ultra Beast in this [[canon]]. Meanwhile, Sun and Moon were freed from [[Ultra Deep Sea]] by Lunala and the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who took them to Ultra Megalopolis. The city was attacked by a {{p|Stakataka}}, which Sun and Moon succeeded in subduing. Soon after, Lusamine arrived at the city with some {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s by using [[Ultra Warp Ride]] with some {{p|Naganadel}}. After fusing herself with a Nihilego, she attempted to capture Necrozma. While her attention was focused on the Prism Pokémon, Sun used one of her Beast Balls to capture Stakataka.

The battle against Necrozma eventually moved to Alola, where the Trial Captains, who had tried to join the battle, were attacked by a group of Aether Foundation Employees wielding Ultra Beasts. In the meantime, the [[island kahuna]]s joined forces with the guardian deities to fight the Ultra Beasts across Alola. The Trial Captains succeeded in defeating the Ultra Beasts with a series of [[Z-Move]]s, and once Necrozma had been caught by the Ultra Recon Squad, the Ultra Beasts sensed the threat to them had passed and started heading back to their home worlds through a wormhole above [[Mount Lanakila]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ultra Beast (TCG)}}
[[File:NihilegoGXCrimsonInvasion49.jpg|thumb|left|200px|An example of an Ultra Beast {{red GX}} card]]
[[File:UltraNecrozmaSMPromo165.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ultra Necrozma's Ultra Beast card]]
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|GX]] cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other Pokémon-GX cards. Similarly, Ultra Beast [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)#Tag Team Pokémon-GX|Tag Team GX]] have a red {{red TT GX}} graphic as opposed to a blue {{TT GX}} one.

Every Ultra Beast Pokémon has an {{TCG|attack}} or {{TCG|Ability}} that is affected by or affects the player's and/or opponent's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Prize card}}s. If that Pokémon is a Pokémon-{{red GX}}, its GX attack is always that attack.

Unlike the [[core series]] games, {{TCG|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, {{TCG|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}, and {{TCG|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}} are Ultra Beasts in the TCG. {{TCG|Necrozma}} in its base form, however, is not.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Buzzwole and Pheromosa are the only Ultra Beasts that share a [[type]] combination.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}.
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts and the [[level]]s at which they learn [[move]]s in [[Generation VII]] (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s, a trait shared with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved forms. The only exception to this is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** With the exceptions of Poipole and Naganadel, all Ultra Beasts have a base stat total of 570.
** The base stats of {{p|Necrozma}} and its alternate forms also consist of prime numbers, except for Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings and Ultra Necrozma's Speed stat of 77. Additionally, the levels at which they learn moves in Generation VII (except level 1) are also all prime, except for learning {{m|Photon Geyser}} at level 50 in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].
** In {{g|Shuffle}}, the Ultra Beast-exclusive {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}} {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Beast Power}} uses prime numbers for all of its activation rates (17%, 53%, and 73%). Nihilego's skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Possession}} and Buzzwole's skill {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Demolish}} also have prime-number activation rates (73% and 89% respectively), though only at max skill level. Beast Power and Demolish also require a prime number of skill points (61) to reach max level, and they are the only skills to require that specific amount.
* Of all the Ultra Beasts, Naganadel learns the most moves via level up with 18, and Poipole learns the fewest with 14.
* Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Guzzlord's Ultra Sun Pokédex entries and Pheromosa, Celesteela, and Kartana's Ultra Moon Pokédex entries all have exactly the same text: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives." They are the only Pokémon in the games to share Pokédex entries with each other.
* According to [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]]'s [https://www.pokemon.jp/special/mystery/file/04.html Mystery File] feature website, some researchers theorize {{p|Unown}} may be related to Ultra Beasts.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not [[Legendary Pokémon]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190712083446/http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190712083444/https://d30u2kqt4gtxnu.cloudfront.net/en-us/activities/quiz/ Legendary Pokémon quiz]: Question 10 (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/ten-tips-for-catching-legendary-pokemon/ Ten Tips for Catching Legendary Pokémon]: Pokémon.com</ref> they share some characteristics with many of them: they all are [[gender unknown]], they are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]], they have scripted encounters with special battle music and at least three {{IV}}s guaranteed to be 31, and they have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages. Furthermore:
** In Generation VII, if the player chooses to filter out people seeking Legendary or {{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed. In [[Pokémon HOME]], the filter originally only filtered out Mythical and [[Special Pokémon|Special]] Legendary Pokémon and did not filter out Ultra Beasts and non-Special Legendary Pokémon; however, in the v1.2.1 update, the filter was renamed to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical, and other special Pokémon" and was expanded to cover all Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts.
** Prior to [[Generation IX]],<ref>https://twitter.com/kaphotics/status/1613415551585640455</ref> the Ultra Beasts belonged to the "sublegendary" category in the games' code.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/799322666079551488 Tweet by Michael (@SciresM).] Posted on November 17, 2016.</ref>
** In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Peony]] refers to both Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts as "legendary".

** In [[GOTCHA!]], the Ultra Beasts are shown as silhouettes alongside the rest of the Legendary Pokémon.<ref>https://youtu.be/BoZ0Zwab6Oc?t=37</ref>
* The Ultra Beasts share some similarities with the [[Paradox Pokémon]], introduced two [[generation]]s later:
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist entirely of gender unknown Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, thus being unable to breed.
** Both are connected to the [[Game mascot|mascot]] Legendary Pokémon of the games they were introduced in.
** Excluding {{p|Poipole}} and {{p|Naganadel}}, both consist of Pokémon that are unable to evolve into or from another Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and the future Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers. Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves around multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves around prime numbers.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Every Ultra Beast and Paradox Pokémon (except {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.

Gender

2026-05-11T00:23:57Z

TurtwigFan4848: /* In the core series games */

'''Gender''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|性別|せいべつ}}''' ''sex'') is a characteristic of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s in the [[Pokémon world]].

In [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} were the only Pokémon shown to have a gender. Starting in the [[Generation II]] games, most Pokémon have a gender (including Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Generation I games): '''male''' (Japanese: '''オス''' ''male'') or '''female''' (Japanese: '''メス''' ''female''). However, some species of Pokémon are [[gender unknown]]. The gender mechanic is fundamental to [[Pokémon breeding]].

In the [[core series]] games, starting in {{game|Crystal}}, the player can choose between a '''male''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|男性|だんせい}}''' ''male'') or '''female''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|女性|じょせい}}''' ''female'') [[player character]] (prior games having only featured a male player character). However, male and female humans have appeared in all core series Pokémon games. Some human characters, such as the [[Ball Guy]] from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Blanche]] and [[Rhi]] from {{g|GO}}, and the unnamed player character in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], do not have a specified gender.

The English localizations of the Pokémon franchise use the term "gender" to refer to both a creature's sexual characteristics and their sociocultural traits interchangeably. In the real world, these correspond to the related but distinct concepts of {{wp|sex}}, {{wp|gender}}, and {{wp|gender identity}}.

==Pokémon==
===In the core series games===
====Determining gender====
One factor that determines gender is each Pokémon species's [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]], which is approximately how likely a Pokémon is a specific gender instead of the other.

=====Generation I=====
Several Pokémon besides [[Nidoran]] were mentioned to have genders in the [[Generation I]] games prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic the following generation:
* A {{tc|Beauty}} in {{rt|13|Kanto}} asks "I wonder which is stronger, male or female {{ScPkmn}}?"
* A character on the [[S.S. Anne]] refers to a {{p|Machoke}} using a male pronoun: "My buddy, <sc>Machoke</sc>, is super strong! He has enough <sc>Strength</sc> to move big rocks!"
* In the French version, one of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] reads "<sc>Mew</sc> is now a dad (or a mom?). The newborn was named <sc>Mewtwo</sc>." (French: <sc>Mew</sc> est papa (ou maman?). Le petit fut baptisé <sc>Mewtwo</sc>.)
* Some early Pokédex entries specifically mention female Kangaskhan: "The female raises its offspring in a pouch on its belly.", from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], and "The female raises its young in its belly pouch for around three years.", from {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, as well as [[Pokémon Stadium]].
* {{p|Seaking}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Yellow}} mentions male Seaking. However, this game was released after the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], which already had Pokémon with genders.

=====Generation II=====
In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender is determined based solely on its physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio. A Pokémon is female if its physical Attack IV is less than or equal to its species' gender ratio, otherwise it is male. For species that are exclusively one gender or gender unknown, the calculation based on the physical Attack IV is ignored.

Due to this calculation, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack [[statistic|stat]] (unless it is a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[first partner Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that also being based partly on the Attack IV. Because of this, their {{m|Hidden Power}} is always a physical type. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny.

Pokémon from the [[Generation I]] games are assigned a gender using the same process when transferred to the Generation II games, used in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], or transferred from the [[Virtual Console]] games to [[Pokémon Bank]]. As a result, a Pokémon maintains its gender when transferred between the Generation I and II games (even though the gender is not shown in the Generation I games, aside from {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

[[File:Nidogender.png|thumb|250px|Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ show genders twice in [[Generation II]], but only once in [[Generation III]] onward]]
In the international versions of the Generation II games, due to how the battlefield display is programmed, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ have their gender icon shown twice, once in their name and once after the level. This does not occur in the Japanese and Korean games, however, as the gender icon was present after all Pokémon's names due to the shorter character limit there. This was addressed in all later games (except for {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}), which prevent the gender icon from appearing when an un-nicknamed Nidoran of either gender is on the field.

=====Generations III to V=====
<code>00000000 00000000 00000000 <span style="background:#FF9999">00000000</span></code><br>

From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, a Pokémon's gender is determined by the [[personality value]]'s lowest eight digits (the lowest byte, highlighted in <span style="background:#FF9999">red</span> above) of ''p'' in binary form. Mathematically, this can be derived by calculating <math>p \bmod {256}</math>. Below, this value will be referred to as ''p<sub>gender</sub>''.

In a Pokémon species' {{OBP|Pokémon species data structure|Generation III|data structure}}, there is a value called the ''gender threshold'', a byte with a value ranging from 0 to 255. With the exception of a few special cases, ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is compared to the gender threshold to determine if the Pokémon is male or female.

If the gender threshold is not a special value (0, 254, or 255), ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is compared to the gender threshold. If ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is greater than or equal to the gender threshold, the Pokémon is male, otherwise it is female. Because the comparison to determine gender is greater than or equal, Pokémon are slightly more likely to be male than they would be according to the ideal ratios.

If a species has a gender threshold of 255, all Pokémon of that species are gender unknown (such as {{p|Magnemite}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 254, it is a female-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♀}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 0, it is a male-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender to the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Mass outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]es.

=====Generations VI to VII=====
From [[Generation VI]] to {{gen|VII}}, the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 1 and 252 (inclusive) instead of ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' (which is between 0 and 255); this causes Pokémon with a "1:1" gender ratio to actually be distributed according to the ideal ratio. All other Pokémon are more likely to be the more common gender than they would be according to their nominal ratio.

=====Generation VIII=====
In [[Generation VIII]], the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 1 to 253 (inclusive). This leads to slightly different ratios, with male Pokémon being slightly more common than before.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197055570290700288</ref>

Additionally, due to a quirk in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s code, all overworld [[symbol encounter]]s, [[hidden encounter]]s, and [[fishing]] encounters are forced to have a 1:1 gender ratio, with the game ignoring the above table. Instead, the random number generator rolls a rand2 (effectively a 50/50 chance, akin to a {{wp|coin flip}}) to determine gender. This excludes 100% male, 100% female, and [[gender unknown]] species, although the game still attempts to roll a rand2 for these species if encountered, to no effect.<ref>https://github.com/LegoFigure11/owoow/blob/f1bdcd4534587517315d0d23157ad6ecab1c757b/owoow.Core/RNG/Generators/Overworld/Common.cs#L79</ref>

=====Generation IX=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Validation and proper reference}}
In [[Generation IX]], the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 0 to 99 (inclusive). Because fixed gender is stored separately in this generation, 100% male, 100% female, and [[gender unknown]] species don't have thresholds. Species with "1:3", "1:1", and "3:1" are once again their ideal ratios.

====Gender differences====
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}
[[Generation IV]] introduced visual differences between genders for certain Pokémon species. For example, a male {{p|Raichu}} will have the full tail seen in previous games, while the female is missing the very tip of it. Later generations would introduce several Pokémon with more drastic differences in appearance between genders.

The only four Pokémon with gender differences that are not just visual are {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}}, with Meowstic, Indeedee, and Oinkologne having different [[moves]] they can learn and {{Abilities}} between genders, and Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne having different [[base stats]] between genders.

=====Meowstic=====
{{outdated|section|needs=Move info from Legends: Z-A and Scarlet and Violet as of The Indigo Disk}}
The male Meowstic has {{a|Prankster}} and the female Meowstic has {{a|Competitive}} as its Hidden Ability. At certain levels, they learn different moves from one another: the male Meowstic learns [[status move]]s, while the female Meowstic learns [[special move]]s. In Generations {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, female Meowstic learned one gender-exclusive status move, {{m|Me First}}.

=====Indeedee=====
Indeedee differs more drastically by gender than Meowstic, with male and female Indeedee having slightly different [[base stats]] as well as learnsets. Male Indeedee have higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, while female Indeedee have higher {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|HP}}. While male Indeedee can learn the [[TM]] and [[TR]] moves {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Guard Swap}}, and {{m|Baton Pass}}, female Indeedee can learn {{m|Power Swap}}, {{m|Trick Room}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, {{m|Wonder Room}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and {{m|Encore}}. The [[Egg Move]] {{m|Extrasensory}} is exclusive to male Indeedee while the Egg Moves {{m|Psycho Shift}} and {{m|Heal Pulse}} are exclusive to female Indeedee.

Indeedee Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either a male or female Indeedee. This chance is determined using a separate random number from the one compared to the gender threshold.<ref name="gen8">[https://github.com/Admiral-Fish/RNGWriteups/blob/master/Gen%208/Egg%20Generation.md RNGWriteups/Gen 8/Egg Generation.md · Admiral-Fish/RNGWriteups]</ref>

====Single-gender Pokémon====
=====Nidoran lines=====
The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender. Introduced in [[Generation I]], before gender was known for all Pokémon, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are considered separate species of Pokémon and indeed have many differences, from appearance to moveset.

However, Nidoran♀ Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. From Generation II to IV, Eggs produced by Nidoran♂, {{p|Nidorino}}, or {{p|Nidoking}} when paired with Ditto always hatch into Nidoran♂; starting in Generation V, they also have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. This chance is determined using a separate random number from the one compared to the gender threshold; in Generations III and IV, this is determined by the highest bit of the lower half of its [[personality value]].<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/7b5986006f6b325e471fee25903c769ce67f5da9/engine/events/daycare.asm#L594 pokecrystal/engine/events/daycare.asm · pret/pokecrystal]</ref><ref name="emerald">[https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/04197b49126604a310fae1d314709334f6d2460d/src/daycare.c#L784 pokeemerald/src/daycare.c · pret/pokeemerald]</ref><ref name="heartgold">[https://github.com/pret/pokeheartgold/blob/1ffb090e94dcf63b593ee47f284751a7323bc33a/src/get_egg.c#L602 pokeheartgold/src/get_egg.c · pret/pokeheartgold]</ref><ref name="gen5">[https://github.com/Admiral-Fish/PokeFinder/blob/da5b781074f3e6ebdf8d9b36b0421e16bcc973f6/Source/Core/Gen5/Generators/EggGenerator5.cpp#L85 PokeFinder/Source/Core/Gen5/Generators/EggGenerator5.cpp · Admiral-Fish/PokeFinder]</ref><ref name="gen8"/>

=====Firefly Pokémon=====
In a manner similar to Nidoran, Eggs produced by {{p|Illumise}} have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Illumise or {{p|Volbeat}}. From Generation III to IV, Eggs produced by Volbeat when paired with Ditto always hatch into Volbeat; starting in Generation V, they also have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Illumise or Volbeat.

=====Eon Pokémon=====
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}} in the games, likely due to being [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is implied in the [[M05|fifth movie]] that Latias have produced Eggs containing {{OBP|Latios|M05}}, suggesting that they are similarly related.

=====Gender-based Evolutions=====
{{main|Gender-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon may have different ways of [[Evolution|evolving]] depending on their gender. These Pokémon may therefore have one or more Evolutions that can only be a single gender.

[[Eviolite]] will always work on Combee and Salandit, regardless of their gender and whether they are able to evolve.

=====Other single-gender Pokémon=====
The following is a list of all Pokémon that are either 100% male or 100% female and have not been mentioned in an above section. In particular, these Pokémon have no explicit relation to a Pokémon of the opposite gender through Evolution or breeding, although some of them may have a counterpart such as with {{p|Grimmsnarl}} and {{p|Hatterene}}.

====Single-gender forms====
Certain [[form]]s of Pokémon are exclusively one gender. These forms are often based on established Pokémon characters. Aside from {{form|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon}} {{p|Ursaluna}}, none of the Pokémon with these forms can breed.

====Exclusive by availability====
{{p|Terapagos}}, despite being programmed as a Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 1 ♂|equal chance]] of being male or female, is fixed to be male when the player catches it in [[The Indigo Disk]]. No other Terapagos have been made available since, making female Terapagos currently unobtainable.

====In battle====
The [[Love Ball]] is more effective when catching Pokémon that are of the opposite (or same in [[Generation II]], due to a programming error) gender of the player's Pokémon.

The following moves are dependent on gender:
{{movelist/battle-head|Cute}}
{{movelist/battle|2|Attract|Status|Cute|—|100|15|anyadjacent|If it is the opposite gender of the user, the target becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.}}
{{movelist/battle|4|Captivate|Status|Cute|—|100|20|adjacentfoes|If any opposing Pokémon is the opposite gender of the user, it is charmed, which harshly lowers its Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Physical|None|Varies|—|1|adjacentfoe|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Special|None|Varies|—|1|adjacentfoe|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}

===In the side series games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
[[Pokémon Stadium 2]] may connect to [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]], and is compatible with Pokémon genders. While Generation I games don't identify Pokémon genders (other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}), the gender displayed in Pokémon Stadium 2 is the same as in the core series Generation II games, which is determined by the Pokémon's physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio.

For instance, a Pikachu from [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], or [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] is shown as either male or female in Pokémon Stadium 2.

===In the spin-off games===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series====
=====Red and Blue Rescue Team, and Rescue Team DX=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]] remake, there is no gender displayed for any Pokémon other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}. There are no gender-based game mechanics in battle, therefore {{m|Attract}} and {{a|Cute Charm}} are able to {{status|Infatuation|infatuate}} any opponent. Rescue Team DX also uses the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] system introduced in the later games, with some alterations to the categories.

In dialogue, unlike future games in the series, [[gender unknown]] Pokémon are consistently referred to as "it/its".
* In Rescue Team DX, while the player can choose whether the {{pkmn2|hero}} and the [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] are male or female, the game only applies this choice if the player chooses to play as {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}. {{p|Torchic}} (another hero candidate with [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]) keeps the male-only black spot on its rear regardless of the player's choice.

=====Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], male Pokémon, as well as gender-unknown Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}), have a 1.5× bonus applied to any attack's base critical rate before other modifiers are applied, but at the same time also receive a 263/256 (~1.03×) evasion ''penalty'' if no other accuracy or evasion modifiers are in effect. Female Pokémon instead have a 268/256 (~1.047×) accuracy multiplier applied if no other accuracy modifiers are in effect. The gender-inherent evasion and accuracy modifiers do not stack with increased or decreased stat stages due to [[Compound Eyes (Ability)|CompoundEyes]], the Concentrator [[IQ#Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky|IQ skill]] or move effects. Barring those that are gender-locked, Pokémon encountered on odd dungeon floors will always be male, and Pokémon encountered on even floors will always be female.

Male and female [[Recruitment|recruits]] of the same species will often use different sets of dialogue decided by the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] attribute.

[[Gender unknown]] Pokémon are often ascribed a gender in dialogue. All of them are still considered gender unknown for the purpose of game mechanics, gaining the increased critical hit rate and reduced evasion modifiers above.
* {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{mdc|Uxie|2}}, [[Primal Dialga]], {{mdc|Palkia|2}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} use he/him during in-game cutscenes.
* {{p|Mesprit}} and the shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} use she/her during in-game cutscenes. According to developer interviews, the shiny Celebi character was purposely given a feminine personality and appearance.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/pmdcollector/787567058727649280/special-interview-the-past-present-and-future Special Interview: The Past, Present and Future of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]</ref>
** In the European releases of Explorers of Time and Darkness as well as the international releases of Explorers of Sky, Mesprit is incorrectly referred to as "him" once by {{p|Corphish}} after the [[Crystal Cave]] dungeon. This appears to be a script error; The North American releases of Time and Darkness refer to Azelf in this line, which was corrected in later releases to Mesprit to match the original Japanese script and other localizations, without changing the pronoun.
* The {{p|Spiritomb}} encountered in the [[Sealed Ruin]] uses the plural "we/they" for itself (due to being a collection of 108 spirits), but is referred to as "it/its" by others. For the purpose of battle mechanics during its boss fight, it is considered male.
** Other [[recruitment|recruited]] Spiritomb have the potential to be either male or female as in the core series, and are assigned to separate [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]]s for in-dungeon dialogue.
* {{p|Shaymin}} (exclusive to Explorers of Sky) and {{p|Phione}} are only ever referred to as their species or with the collective "we" during in-game cutscenes.
* {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Bronzor}}, and {{p|Bronzong}} are assigned to otherwise distinctly male-only [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] groups used for in-dungeon dialogue, while {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Phione}} are assigned to otherwise female-only groups.

Additionally, a certain type of mission involves a pair of male and a female Pokémon, where the player is tasked with rescuing one of the duo. Aside from the Nidoran family and Volbeat and Illumise being linked as in core series games, this also includes Tauros and Miltank. 

=====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)=====
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]] inherit all of the gender mechanics and the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] system from Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky.

=====Gates to Infinity=====
Gender mechanics are not present in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] onward. Moves and abilities based on the mechanic now work on any opponent, as they did in the Rescue Team games. Gender unknown Pokémon are often still ascribed a gender in dialogue.

In the Japanese release, the player can choose the partner's gender at the start of the game - however, a female Pikachu partner will still have a male Pikachu's tail. This gender selection function was removed in the North American and European releases, and the partner is referred to in dialogue as male in those versions.

=====Super Mystery Dungeon=====
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Confirm pronouns of gender unknown Pokémon, and confirm if the partner is locked to female in the European release.}}
In the Japanese and North American releases of [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the player can choose the partner's gender at the start of the game. This is done by prompting whether they are "cool" (male) or "cute" (female). This has no bearing on gameplay, but it does apply the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] to {{p|Pikachu}}, and all female portraits face left. The European release once again removes the ability to select the partner's gender.

* [[Jirachi (Pokémon)|Jirachi]] and the non-shiny [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]<sup>[Who else?]</sup> use he/him during in-game cutscenes.
* The shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}}<sup>[And who else?]</sup> uses she/her during in-game dialogue, unlike her non-shiny counterpart.
* In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} uses he/him. During his reappearance in Super, {{mdc|Chatot|2}} erroneously refers to Wigglytuff using "she". In another mission, {{mdc|Armaldo|sky}} refers to Wigglytuff using "he/him".


==== Hey You, Pikachu! ====
In an American trailer for [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], Pikachu's gender is discussed. When a young boy refers to Pikachu using the pronoun "he", the boy's sister retorts with ''"How do you know he's a he? Maybe Pikachu is a she."''

In the game dialogue, [[Professor Oak]] and the {{OBP|player|Hey You, Pikachu!}}'s {{OBP|Mom|Hey You, Pikachu!}} refer to Pikachu using the pronoun "it".

====Pokémon Pokopia====
There are no gender-based mechanics in {{g|Pokopia}}, and the game attempts to use gender-neutral pronouns for all characters in dialogue, even with several characters exhibitting gender differences on their models. Conversely, the human records refer to them with gendered pronouns.

===In animation===
Prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic in the games, some Pokémon were already shown to be male or female. For instance, {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}} from the [[Team Rocket trio]] is male, while [[Meowzie]] is female. The English dub tends to avoid ascribing gender pronouns to Pokémon, instead using "it".

===In the manga===
====Pokémon Newspaper Strip====
In {{strip|148}}, Brock mentions that there is no difference between male and female Pikachu. This was published during the [[Generation I]], predating the introduction of gender differences for Pikachu in [[Generation IV]] games.

===In the core series games===
Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, {{player}}s are given the option of choosing to play as a boy or girl Trainer at the [[new game|start]] of every core series game. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the game will ask what the player looks like, rather than specifying gender. The character picked will still determine certain outfit choices and pronouns. Starting in {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, the opposite-gender player character may also be encountered in some games as an NPC.

Some Trainer classes have male and female variants, such as {{tc|Swimmer}}s, while others appear to be counterparts, such as {{tc|Camper}}s and {{tc|Picnicker}}s. Others, such as [[Kimono Girl]]s, have no opposite-gender counterpart.

Certain in-game events may differ depending on the player character's gender. For example, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Curtis]] will be encountered if the player is female, and [[Yancy]] if the player is male. In {{g|X and Y}} and [[Generation VII]], availability of different [[List of clothing in Pokémon X and Y|clothing]] is gender-specific. Also, only the female player character has the option of changing their lip color using lipstick stored in a [[Makeup Bag]] in Generation VII.

Outside of [[battle facility|battle facilities]], the gender of a [[non-playable character]] often determines the default gender of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon's species has an even [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 1 ♂|1:1 gender ratio]], then its gender will match its Trainer's; if the gender ratio is skewed, then the more common gender of the species will be used. Prior to [[Generation VII]], Trainer classes for [[Double Battle]]s are treated as male, even if both Trainers are female.

For some Trainers, especially [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] since [[Generation V]], the default genders have been overridden to give their teams a more balanced gender distribution. Oddly, the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] and [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] all use male-dominant teams in rematches, even though the female Trainers use all-female teams in their initial battles. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]], [[Bugsy]] and [[Will]]{{tt|*|excluding Will's Bronzong in the rematch, which is gender unknown}} use all-female teams despite being male.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Ball Guy]]'s gender, along with their true identity and age, is unknown. Despite this, official social media posts have sometimes used male pronouns when referring to the character, albeit with in-text hesitation before doing so.

===In the side series games===
{{incomplete|section|PBR and Champions}}
====Pokémon Stadium series====
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player character is usually represented by a nameless, faceless boy, who previously appeared in [[Pokémon Stadium|the original English release]]. If the player is using a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak, however, the boy's portrait is exchanged for a girl's.

===In the spin-off games===
Many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side games]] in the Pokémon franchise allow the player to choose between a male or female [[player character]] as well.

The English localization of {{g|GO}} and its associated social media accounts avoid using gendered language or pronouns when referring to [[Blanche]], the leader of Team Mystic.<ref>"Blanche became visibly upset, which tends to happen when things don't go to their carefully curated plans." - [https://pokemongolive.com/post/willowreport-loomingshadow Willow Report: Looming in the Shadows — Pokémon GO]</ref> The German localization similarly stopped using gendered language to refer to them since 2020.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/de/seasons/heritage/#timedresearch-dec German Website for Season of Heritage]</ref> Likewise, [[Rhi]] has only been referred to using either their name or neutral third-person pronouns.<ref>'''Professor Willow:''' "Rhi says [Team GO Rocket] may be taking an interest in our otherworldly visitors, huh?

===In animation===
In [[Kanto]], [[O-Hina Town]] hosts a female-exclusive tournament during the annual [[Princess Festival]]. Porta Vista also hosts a beauty pageant for women only, known as the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]]. In [[Kalos]], [[Pokémon Performer]]s are exclusively female, as only girls may participate in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Beauty Nova.png|thumb|250px|Beauty Nova after losing]]
* In the [[Spin-off_Pokémon_games#Pok%C3%A9Park_series|PokéPark]] games, several Pokémon such as {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Darkrai}}, that are [[gender unknown]] in the core series are ascribed a gender.
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names#Generation I|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender; however, its name predates the introduction of gender to the series.
** Its Galarian Evolution, {{p|Mr. Rime}}, also shares these traits, despite being introduced after the introduction of gender to the series.
* If the Generation I games used the same rules as Generation II for determining a Pokémon's gender, this would result in some oddities:
** In the case of Pokémon owned by [[non-player character]]s, due to the fact that they all share the Attack IV 9, there would be a single available gender for each Pokémon species. Namely, if the chance for a certain species to be male were 50% or more, then it would be male 100% of the time when owned by any NPC. If the chance to be female were any higher than 50%, then it would be female 100% of the time when owned by any NPC.
** The [[Pikachu (Yellow)|starting Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow would be likely to change its gender after it was caught by Professor Oak, due to the fact that its stats are randomly generated when it appears as a wild Pokémon and then generated again when it is delivered to the player.
** The [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] would be equally likely to be male or female, and it would be able to change its gender if battled multiple times, since her stats are randomly generated in each battle like those of any wild Pokémon.
* Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill used to become male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens since [[Generation VI]].
* A [[non-player character]], {{tc|Beauty}} Nova in {{g|X and Y}}, is implied to be {{wp|transgender}}. She says that she was reborn as a Beauty after originally being a {{tc|Black Belt}} (a male-only {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}); in the Japanese versions, she credits this transformation to medical science.<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/qa-is-this-character-in-pokemon-xy-transgender/ Q&A: Is This Character in Pokémon X/Y Transgender? « Legends of Localization]</ref> In the German and Korean versions, this implication is removed, with her instead having been a female {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} or a {{wp|Taekwondo}} Girl (Korean: 태권도 소녀 ''Taekwondo Sonyeo''), a gender-swapped version of the Korean name for the Black Belt Trainer class, respectively.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lyYuWU453I&t=760s New and Forgotten Pokemon X & Y Facts Ft. @jarvis] (retrieved April 30th, 2024)</ref>

:: After winning: ''"If you want to make your dreams reality, then you have to be completely dedicated!"''
:: After losing: ''"Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation, wouldn't you say?"''
* Although they are gender unknown Pokémon, {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are said to be the male and female final forms of {{p|Cosmog}}, respectively.
** Similarly, {{p|Zacian}}'s Pokédex entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}} mentions it possibly being the older sister of {{p|Zamazenta}}, implying Zacian to be female, despite it being gender unknown.

TurtwigFan4848: /* Trivia */

'''Gender''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|性別|せいべつ}}''' ''sex'') is a characteristic of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s in the [[Pokémon world]].

In [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} were the only Pokémon shown to have a gender. Starting in the [[Generation II]] games, most Pokémon have a gender (including Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Generation I games): '''male''' (Japanese: '''オス''' ''male'') or '''female''' (Japanese: '''メス''' ''female''). However, some species of Pokémon are [[gender unknown]]. The gender mechanic is fundamental to [[Pokémon breeding]].

In the [[core series]] games, starting in {{game|Crystal}}, the player can choose between a '''male''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|男性|だんせい}}''' ''male'') or '''female''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|女性|じょせい}}''' ''female'') [[player character]] (prior games having only featured a male player character). However, male and female humans have appeared in all core series Pokémon games. Some human characters, such as the [[Ball Guy]] from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Blanche]] and [[Rhi]] from {{g|GO}}, and the unnamed player character in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], do not have a specified gender.

The English localizations of the Pokémon franchise use the term "gender" to refer to both a creature's sexual characteristics and their sociocultural traits interchangeably. In the real world, these correspond to the related but distinct concepts of {{wp|sex}}, {{wp|gender}}, and {{wp|gender identity}}.

==Pokémon==
===In the core series games===
====Determining gender====
One factor that determines gender is each Pokémon species's [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]], which is approximately how likely a Pokémon is a specific gender instead of the other.

=====Generation I=====
Several Pokémon besides [[Nidoran]] were mentioned to have genders in the [[Generation I]] games prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic the following generation:
* A {{tc|Beauty}} in {{rt|13|Kanto}} asks "I wonder which is stronger, male or female {{ScPkmn}}?"
* A character on the [[S.S. Anne]] refers to a {{p|Machoke}} using a male pronoun: "My buddy, <sc>Machoke</sc>, is super strong! He has enough <sc>Strength</sc> to move big rocks!"
* In the French version, one of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] reads "<sc>Mew</sc> is now a dad (or a mom?). The newborn was named <sc>Mewtwo</sc>." (French: <sc>Mew</sc> est papa (ou maman?). Le petit fut baptisé <sc>Mewtwo</sc>.)
* Some early Pokédex entries specifically mention female Kangaskhan: "The female raises its offspring in a pouch on its belly.", from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], and "The female raises its young in its belly pouch for around three years.", from {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, as well as [[Pokémon Stadium]].
* {{p|Seaking}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Yellow}} mentions male Seaking. However, this game was released after the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], which already had Pokémon with genders.

=====Generation II=====
In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender is determined based solely on its physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio. A Pokémon is female if its physical Attack IV is less than or equal to its species' gender ratio, otherwise it is male. For species that are exclusively one gender or gender unknown, the calculation based on the physical Attack IV is ignored.

Due to this calculation, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack [[statistic|stat]] (unless it is a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[first partner Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that also being based partly on the Attack IV. Because of this, their {{m|Hidden Power}} is always a physical type. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny.

Pokémon from the [[Generation I]] games are assigned a gender using the same process when transferred to the Generation II games, used in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], or transferred from the [[Virtual Console]] games to [[Pokémon Bank]]. As a result, a Pokémon maintains its gender when transferred between the Generation I and II games (even though the gender is not shown in the Generation I games, aside from {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

[[File:Nidogender.png|thumb|250px|Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ show genders twice in [[Generation II]], but only once in [[Generation III]] onward]]
In the international versions of the Generation II games, due to how the battlefield display is programmed, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ have their gender icon shown twice, once in their name and once after the level. This does not occur in the Japanese and Korean games, however, as the gender icon was present after all Pokémon's names due to the shorter character limit there. This was addressed in all later games (except for {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}), which prevent the gender icon from appearing when an un-nicknamed Nidoran of either gender is on the field.

=====Generations III to V=====
<code>00000000 00000000 00000000 <span style="background:#FF9999">00000000</span></code><br>

From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, a Pokémon's gender is determined by the [[personality value]]'s lowest eight digits (the lowest byte, highlighted in <span style="background:#FF9999">red</span> above) of ''p'' in binary form. Mathematically, this can be derived by calculating <math>p \bmod {256}</math>. Below, this value will be referred to as ''p<sub>gender</sub>''.

In a Pokémon species' {{OBP|Pokémon species data structure|Generation III|data structure}}, there is a value called the ''gender threshold'', a byte with a value ranging from 0 to 255. With the exception of a few special cases, ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is compared to the gender threshold to determine if the Pokémon is male or female.

If the gender threshold is not a special value (0, 254, or 255), ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is compared to the gender threshold. If ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' is greater than or equal to the gender threshold, the Pokémon is male, otherwise it is female. Because the comparison to determine gender is greater than or equal, Pokémon are slightly more likely to be male than they would be according to the ideal ratios.

If a species has a gender threshold of 255, all Pokémon of that species are gender unknown (such as {{p|Magnemite}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 254, it is a female-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♀}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 0, it is a male-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender to the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Mass outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]es.

=====Generations VI to VII=====
From [[Generation VI]] to {{gen|VII}}, the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 1 and 252 (inclusive) instead of ''p<sub>gender</sub>'' (which is between 0 and 255); this causes Pokémon with a "1:1" gender ratio to actually be distributed according to the ideal ratio. All other Pokémon are more likely to be the more common gender than they would be according to their nominal ratio.

=====Generation VIII=====
In [[Generation VIII]], the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 1 to 253 (inclusive). This leads to slightly different ratios, with male Pokémon being slightly more common than before.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197055570290700288</ref>

Additionally, due to a quirk in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s code, all overworld [[symbol encounter]]s, [[hidden encounter]]s, and [[fishing]] encounters are forced to have a 1:1 gender ratio, with the game ignoring the above table. Instead, the random number generator rolls a rand2 (effectively a 50/50 chance, akin to a {{wp|coin flip}}) to determine gender. This excludes 100% male, 100% female, and [[gender unknown]] species, although the game still attempts to roll a rand2 for these species if encountered, to no effect.<ref>https://github.com/LegoFigure11/owoow/blob/f1bdcd4534587517315d0d23157ad6ecab1c757b/owoow.Core/RNG/Generators/Overworld/Common.cs#L79</ref>

=====Generation IX=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Validation and proper reference}}
In [[Generation IX]], the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 0 to 99 (inclusive). Because fixed gender is stored separately in this generation, 100% male, 100% female, and [[gender unknown]] species don't have thresholds. Species with "1:3", "1:1", and "3:1" are once again their ideal ratios.

====Gender differences====
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}
[[Generation IV]] introduced visual differences between genders for certain Pokémon species. For example, a male {{p|Raichu}} will have the full tail seen in previous games, while the female is missing the very tip of it. Later generations would introduce several Pokémon with more drastic differences in appearance between genders.

The only four Pokémon with gender differences that are not just visual are {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}}, with Meowstic, Indeedee, and Oinkologne having different [[moves]] they can learn and {{Abilities}} between genders, and Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne having different [[base stats]] between genders.

=====Meowstic=====
{{outdated|section|needs=Move info from Legends: Z-A and Scarlet and Violet as of The Indigo Disk}}
The male Meowstic has {{a|Prankster}} and the female Meowstic has {{a|Competitive}} as its Hidden Ability. At certain levels, they learn different moves from one another: the male Meowstic learns [[status move]]s, while the female Meowstic learns [[special move]]s. In Generations {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, female Meowstic learned one gender-exclusive status move, {{m|Me First}}.

=====Indeedee=====
Indeedee differs more drastically by gender than Meowstic, with male and female Indeedee having slightly different [[base stats]] as well as learnsets. Male Indeedee have higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, while female Indeedee have higher {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|HP}}. While male Indeedee can learn the [[TM]] and [[TR]] moves {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Guard Swap}}, and {{m|Baton Pass}}, female Indeedee can learn {{m|Power Swap}}, {{m|Trick Room}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, {{m|Wonder Room}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and {{m|Encore}}. The [[Egg Move]] {{m|Extrasensory}} is exclusive to male Indeedee while the Egg Moves {{m|Psycho Shift}} and {{m|Heal Pulse}} are exclusive to female Indeedee.

Indeedee Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either a male or female Indeedee. This chance is determined using a separate random number from the one compared to the gender threshold.<ref name="gen8">[https://github.com/Admiral-Fish/RNGWriteups/blob/master/Gen%208/Egg%20Generation.md RNGWriteups/Gen 8/Egg Generation.md · Admiral-Fish/RNGWriteups]</ref>

====Single-gender Pokémon====
=====Nidoran lines=====
The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender. Introduced in [[Generation I]], before gender was known for all Pokémon, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are considered separate species of Pokémon and indeed have many differences, from appearance to moveset.

However, Nidoran♀ Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. From Generation II to IV, Eggs produced by Nidoran♂, {{p|Nidorino}}, or {{p|Nidoking}} when paired with Ditto always hatch into Nidoran♂; starting in Generation V, they also have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. This chance is determined using a separate random number from the one compared to the gender threshold; in Generations III and IV, this is determined by the highest bit of the lower half of its [[personality value]].<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/7b5986006f6b325e471fee25903c769ce67f5da9/engine/events/daycare.asm#L594 pokecrystal/engine/events/daycare.asm · pret/pokecrystal]</ref><ref name="emerald">[https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/04197b49126604a310fae1d314709334f6d2460d/src/daycare.c#L784 pokeemerald/src/daycare.c · pret/pokeemerald]</ref><ref name="heartgold">[https://github.com/pret/pokeheartgold/blob/1ffb090e94dcf63b593ee47f284751a7323bc33a/src/get_egg.c#L602 pokeheartgold/src/get_egg.c · pret/pokeheartgold]</ref><ref name="gen5">[https://github.com/Admiral-Fish/PokeFinder/blob/da5b781074f3e6ebdf8d9b36b0421e16bcc973f6/Source/Core/Gen5/Generators/EggGenerator5.cpp#L85 PokeFinder/Source/Core/Gen5/Generators/EggGenerator5.cpp · Admiral-Fish/PokeFinder]</ref><ref name="gen8"/>

=====Eon Pokémon=====
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}} in the games, likely due to being [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is implied in the [[M05|fifth movie]] that Latias have produced Eggs containing {{OBP|Latios|M05}}, suggesting that they are similarly related.

=====Gender-based Evolutions=====
{{main|Gender-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon may have different ways of [[Evolution|evolving]] depending on their gender. These Pokémon may therefore have one or more Evolutions that can only be a single gender.

[[Eviolite]] will always work on Combee and Salandit, regardless of their gender and whether they are able to evolve.

=====Other single-gender Pokémon=====
The following is a list of all Pokémon that are either 100% male or 100% female and have not been mentioned in an above section. In particular, these Pokémon have no explicit relation to a Pokémon of the opposite gender through Evolution or breeding, although some of them may have a counterpart such as with {{p|Grimmsnarl}} and {{p|Hatterene}}.

====Single-gender forms====
Certain [[form]]s of Pokémon are exclusively one gender. These forms are often based on established Pokémon characters. Aside from {{form|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon}} {{p|Ursaluna}}, none of the Pokémon with these forms can breed.

====Exclusive by availability====
{{p|Terapagos}}, despite being programmed as a Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 1 ♂|equal chance]] of being male or female, is fixed to be male when the player catches it in [[The Indigo Disk]]. No other Terapagos have been made available since, making female Terapagos currently unobtainable.

====In battle====
The [[Love Ball]] is more effective when catching Pokémon that are of the opposite (or same in [[Generation II]], due to a programming error) gender of the player's Pokémon.

The following moves are dependent on gender:
{{movelist/battle-head|Cute}}
{{movelist/battle|2|Attract|Status|Cute|—|100|15|anyadjacent|If it is the opposite gender of the user, the target becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.}}
{{movelist/battle|4|Captivate|Status|Cute|—|100|20|adjacentfoes|If any opposing Pokémon is the opposite gender of the user, it is charmed, which harshly lowers its Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Physical|None|Varies|—|1|adjacentfoe|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Special|None|Varies|—|1|adjacentfoe|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}

===In the side series games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
[[Pokémon Stadium 2]] may connect to [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]], and is compatible with Pokémon genders. While Generation I games don't identify Pokémon genders (other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}), the gender displayed in Pokémon Stadium 2 is the same as in the core series Generation II games, which is determined by the Pokémon's physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio.

For instance, a Pikachu from [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], or [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] is shown as either male or female in Pokémon Stadium 2.

===In the spin-off games===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series====
=====Red and Blue Rescue Team, and Rescue Team DX=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]] remake, there is no gender displayed for any Pokémon other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}. There are no gender-based game mechanics in battle, therefore {{m|Attract}} and {{a|Cute Charm}} are able to {{status|Infatuation|infatuate}} any opponent. Rescue Team DX also uses the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] system introduced in the later games, with some alterations to the categories.

In dialogue, unlike future games in the series, [[gender unknown]] Pokémon are consistently referred to as "it/its".
* In Rescue Team DX, while the player can choose whether the {{pkmn2|hero}} and the [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] are male or female, the game only applies this choice if the player chooses to play as {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}. {{p|Torchic}} (another hero candidate with [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]) keeps the male-only black spot on its rear regardless of the player's choice.

=====Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], male Pokémon, as well as gender-unknown Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}), have a 1.5× bonus applied to any attack's base critical rate before other modifiers are applied, but at the same time also receive a 263/256 (~1.03×) evasion ''penalty'' if no other accuracy or evasion modifiers are in effect. Female Pokémon instead have a 268/256 (~1.047×) accuracy multiplier applied if no other accuracy modifiers are in effect. The gender-inherent evasion and accuracy modifiers do not stack with increased or decreased stat stages due to [[Compound Eyes (Ability)|CompoundEyes]], the Concentrator [[IQ#Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky|IQ skill]] or move effects. Barring those that are gender-locked, Pokémon encountered on odd dungeon floors will always be male, and Pokémon encountered on even floors will always be female.

Male and female [[Recruitment|recruits]] of the same species will often use different sets of dialogue decided by the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] attribute.

[[Gender unknown]] Pokémon are often ascribed a gender in dialogue. All of them are still considered gender unknown for the purpose of game mechanics, gaining the increased critical hit rate and reduced evasion modifiers above.
* {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{mdc|Uxie|2}}, [[Primal Dialga]], {{mdc|Palkia|2}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} use he/him during in-game cutscenes.
* {{p|Mesprit}} and the shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} use she/her during in-game cutscenes. According to developer interviews, the shiny Celebi character was purposely given a feminine personality and appearance.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/pmdcollector/787567058727649280/special-interview-the-past-present-and-future Special Interview: The Past, Present and Future of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]</ref>
** In the European releases of Explorers of Time and Darkness as well as the international releases of Explorers of Sky, Mesprit is incorrectly referred to as "him" once by {{p|Corphish}} after the [[Crystal Cave]] dungeon. This appears to be a script error; The North American releases of Time and Darkness refer to Azelf in this line, which was corrected in later releases to Mesprit to match the original Japanese script and other localizations, without changing the pronoun.
* The {{p|Spiritomb}} encountered in the [[Sealed Ruin]] uses the plural "we/they" for itself (due to being a collection of 108 spirits), but is referred to as "it/its" by others. For the purpose of battle mechanics during its boss fight, it is considered male.
** Other [[recruitment|recruited]] Spiritomb have the potential to be either male or female as in the core series, and are assigned to separate [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]]s for in-dungeon dialogue.
* {{p|Shaymin}} (exclusive to Explorers of Sky) and {{p|Phione}} are only ever referred to as their species or with the collective "we" during in-game cutscenes.
* {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Bronzor}}, and {{p|Bronzong}} are assigned to otherwise distinctly male-only [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] groups used for in-dungeon dialogue, while {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Phione}} are assigned to otherwise female-only groups.

Additionally, a certain type of mission involves a pair of male and a female Pokémon, where the player is tasked with rescuing one of the duo. Aside from the Nidoran family and Volbeat and Illumise being linked as in core series games, this also includes Tauros and Miltank. 

=====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)=====
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]] inherit all of the gender mechanics and the [[List of Pokémon by tone|tone]] system from Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky.

=====Gates to Infinity=====
Gender mechanics are not present in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] onward. Moves and abilities based on the mechanic now work on any opponent, as they did in the Rescue Team games. Gender unknown Pokémon are often still ascribed a gender in dialogue.

In the Japanese release, the player can choose the partner's gender at the start of the game - however, a female Pikachu partner will still have a male Pikachu's tail. This gender selection function was removed in the North American and European releases, and the partner is referred to in dialogue as male in those versions.

=====Super Mystery Dungeon=====
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Confirm pronouns of gender unknown Pokémon, and confirm if the partner is locked to female in the European release.}}
In the Japanese and North American releases of [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the player can choose the partner's gender at the start of the game. This is done by prompting whether they are "cool" (male) or "cute" (female). This has no bearing on gameplay, but it does apply the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] to {{p|Pikachu}}, and all female portraits face left. The European release once again removes the ability to select the partner's gender.

* [[Jirachi (Pokémon)|Jirachi]] and the non-shiny [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]<sup>[Who else?]</sup> use he/him during in-game cutscenes.
* The shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}}<sup>[And who else?]</sup> uses she/her during in-game dialogue, unlike her non-shiny counterpart.
* In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} uses he/him. During his reappearance in Super, {{mdc|Chatot|2}} erroneously refers to Wigglytuff using "she". In another mission, {{mdc|Armaldo|sky}} refers to Wigglytuff using "he/him".


==== Hey You, Pikachu! ====
In an American trailer for [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], Pikachu's gender is discussed. When a young boy refers to Pikachu using the pronoun "he", the boy's sister retorts with ''"How do you know he's a he? Maybe Pikachu is a she."''

In the game dialogue, [[Professor Oak]] and the {{OBP|player|Hey You, Pikachu!}}'s {{OBP|Mom|Hey You, Pikachu!}} refer to Pikachu using the pronoun "it".

====Pokémon Pokopia====
There are no gender-based mechanics in {{g|Pokopia}}, and the game attempts to use gender-neutral pronouns for all characters in dialogue, even with several characters exhibitting gender differences on their models. Conversely, the human records refer to them with gendered pronouns.

===In animation===
Prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic in the games, some Pokémon were already shown to be male or female. For instance, {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}} from the [[Team Rocket trio]] is male, while [[Meowzie]] is female. The English dub tends to avoid ascribing gender pronouns to Pokémon, instead using "it".

===In the manga===
====Pokémon Newspaper Strip====
In {{strip|148}}, Brock mentions that there is no difference between male and female Pikachu. This was published during the [[Generation I]], predating the introduction of gender differences for Pikachu in [[Generation IV]] games.

===In the core series games===
Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, {{player}}s are given the option of choosing to play as a boy or girl Trainer at the [[new game|start]] of every core series game. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the game will ask what the player looks like, rather than specifying gender. The character picked will still determine certain outfit choices and pronouns. Starting in {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, the opposite-gender player character may also be encountered in some games as an NPC.

Some Trainer classes have male and female variants, such as {{tc|Swimmer}}s, while others appear to be counterparts, such as {{tc|Camper}}s and {{tc|Picnicker}}s. Others, such as [[Kimono Girl]]s, have no opposite-gender counterpart.

Certain in-game events may differ depending on the player character's gender. For example, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Curtis]] will be encountered if the player is female, and [[Yancy]] if the player is male. In {{g|X and Y}} and [[Generation VII]], availability of different [[List of clothing in Pokémon X and Y|clothing]] is gender-specific. Also, only the female player character has the option of changing their lip color using lipstick stored in a [[Makeup Bag]] in Generation VII.

Outside of [[battle facility|battle facilities]], the gender of a [[non-playable character]] often determines the default gender of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon's species has an even [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 1 ♂|1:1 gender ratio]], then its gender will match its Trainer's; if the gender ratio is skewed, then the more common gender of the species will be used. Prior to [[Generation VII]], Trainer classes for [[Double Battle]]s are treated as male, even if both Trainers are female.

For some Trainers, especially [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] since [[Generation V]], the default genders have been overridden to give their teams a more balanced gender distribution. Oddly, the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] and [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] all use male-dominant teams in rematches, even though the female Trainers use all-female teams in their initial battles. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]], [[Bugsy]] and [[Will]]{{tt|*|excluding Will's Bronzong in the rematch, which is gender unknown}} use all-female teams despite being male.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Ball Guy]]'s gender, along with their true identity and age, is unknown.

===In the side series games===
{{incomplete|section|PBR and Champions}}
====Pokémon Stadium series====
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player character is usually represented by a nameless, faceless boy, who previously appeared in [[Pokémon Stadium|the original English release]]. If the player is using a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak, however, the boy's portrait is exchanged for a girl's.

===In the spin-off games===
Many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side games]] in the Pokémon franchise allow the player to choose between a male or female [[player character]] as well.

The English localization of {{g|GO}} and its associated social media accounts avoid using gendered language or pronouns when referring to [[Blanche]], the leader of Team Mystic.<ref>"Blanche became visibly upset, which tends to happen when things don't go to their carefully curated plans." - [https://pokemongolive.com/post/willowreport-loomingshadow Willow Report: Looming in the Shadows — Pokémon GO]</ref> The German localization similarly stopped using gendered language to refer to them since 2020.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/de/seasons/heritage/#timedresearch-dec German Website for Season of Heritage]</ref> Likewise, [[Rhi]] has only been referred to using either their name or neutral third-person pronouns.<ref>'''Professor Willow:''' "Rhi says [Team GO Rocket] may be taking an interest in our otherworldly visitors, huh? I’m inclined to think '''they’re''' right. Good thing you’re here to save the day!" ({{g|GO}}, [[Special Research]] "Ultra Beast Protection Efforts")</ref>

The player character in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]] is noted to be gender unknown.<ref>"Hey, you! Um...boy? Girl? You're working hard raising that Magikarp of yours, aren't you?" —Man of Mystery, [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]</ref>

===In animation===
In [[Kanto]], [[O-Hina Town]] hosts a female-exclusive tournament during the annual [[Princess Festival]]. Porta Vista also hosts a beauty pageant for women only, known as the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]]. In [[Kalos]], [[Pokémon Performer]]s are exclusively female, as only girls may participate in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Beauty Nova.png|thumb|250px|Beauty Nova after losing]]
* In the [[Spin-off_Pokémon_games#Pok%C3%A9Park_series|PokéPark]] games, several Pokémon such as {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Darkrai}}, that are [[gender unknown]] in the core series are ascribed a gender.
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names#Generation I|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender; however, its name predates the introduction of gender to the series.
** Its Galarian Evolution, {{p|Mr. Rime}}, also shares these traits, despite being introduced after the introduction of gender to the series.
* If the Generation I games used the same rules as Generation II for determining a Pokémon's gender, this would result in some oddities:
** In the case of Pokémon owned by [[non-player character]]s, due to the fact that they all share the Attack IV 9, there would be a single available gender for each Pokémon species. Namely, if the chance for a certain species to be male were 50% or more, then it would be male 100% of the time when owned by any NPC. If the chance to be female were any higher than 50%, then it would be female 100% of the time when owned by any NPC.
** The [[Pikachu (Yellow)|starting Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow would be likely to change its gender after it was caught by Professor Oak, due to the fact that its stats are randomly generated when it appears as a wild Pokémon and then generated again when it is delivered to the player.
** The [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] would be equally likely to be male or female, and it would be able to change its gender if battled multiple times, since her stats are randomly generated in each battle like those of any wild Pokémon.
* Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill used to become male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens since [[Generation VI]].
* A [[non-player character]], {{tc|Beauty}} Nova in {{g|X and Y}}, is implied to be {{wp|transgender}}. She says that she was reborn as a Beauty after originally being a {{tc|Black Belt}} (a male-only {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}); in the Japanese versions, she credits this transformation to medical science.<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/qa-is-this-character-in-pokemon-xy-transgender/ Q&A: Is This Character in Pokémon X/Y Transgender? « Legends of Localization]</ref> In the German and Korean versions, this implication is removed, with her instead having been a female {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} or a {{wp|Taekwondo}} Girl (Korean: 태권도 소녀 ''Taekwondo Sonyeo''), a gender-swapped version of the Korean name for the Black Belt Trainer class, respectively.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lyYuWU453I&t=760s New and Forgotten Pokemon X & Y Facts Ft. @jarvis] (retrieved April 30th, 2024)</ref>
:: Before battle: ''"I've recently remade my life completely! I've been reborn as a Beauty at last!"''
:: After winning: ''"If you want to make your dreams reality, then you have to be completely dedicated!"''
:: After losing: ''"Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation, wouldn't you say?"''
* Although they are gender unknown Pokémon, {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are said to be the male and female final forms of {{p|Cosmog}}, respectively.
** Similarly, {{p|Zacian}}'s Pokédex entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}} mentions it possibly being the older sister of {{p|Zamazenta}}, implying Zacian to be female, despite it being gender unknown.

Pokémon X and Y beta

2026-04-04T18:12:33Z

TurtwigFan4848: /* Eternal Flower Floette */

{{move|Development leftovers of Pokémon X and Y}}
Like previous major releases, especially those that set a new [[generation]], [[Pokémon X and Y]] went through multiple development stages, many of which included several elements that were eventually dropped or revised before the games' release. Some of these components can still be found within their internal data.

==Pre-release==
===Route 3===
A pre-release screenshot of {{rt|3|Kalos}} depicts the route with a different camera angle, a different trainer, and lacking the big tree on the left side near the lake.

===Lumiose City===
A pre-release screenshot of [[Estival Avenue]] in [[Lumiose City]] shows the [[Lumi Cab]] in a different spot.

===Parfum Palace===
A pre-release screenshot of the bridge in the courtyard of [[Parfum Palace]] depicts the bridge as very long and thin, whereas in the final version it is long and has a thick gold part underneath the bridge.

===Coumarine Gym===
A pre-release image of [[Coumarine Gym]] shows the ledges the players jumps onto ropes as being the same color green as the rest of the floor, but in the final version the ledges are a darker green. In addition, the log that the rope is attached to sticks out further than it does in the final version.

===Oblivion Wing===
A pre-release image of {{m|Oblivion Wing}} shows the beam of energy as being pure red in color, compared to the final version which has two burgundy-colored streaks inside the beam with some red.

===Anistar Gym===
A pre-release screenshot of the [[Anistar Gym]] shows a Gym guide who is a young man with light brown hair, a necktie, and brown shoes. In the final version, however, the Gym guide is an adult man with dark brown hair, suspenders, and dark-colored shoes. In addition, the Gym floor, furniture, and statues sport notably different color schemes than in the final version.

===Gardevoir and Fairy Wind===
The E3 trailer for Pokémon X and Y showed a wild {{p|Gardevoir}} using {{m|Fairy Wind}} on a {{p|Hydreigon}}. In the final game, neither Gardevoir nor its pre-Evolutions could learn this move.

==Post-release==
===Eternal Flower Floette===
[[AZ]]'s {{p|Floette}}, the Eternal Flower Floette, exists as an alternate [[form]] of Floette in the game's data, but it is not obtainable in-game and was never distributed. In addition to Floette's regular moveset, it learns the otherwise unused {{type|Fairy}} move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and it is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. The Eternal Flower Floette's [[base stats]] are higher than that of a normal Floette, its base stat total being 1 less than that of {{p|Florges}}. It has a base experience yield of 243. Unlike normal Floette, it cannot have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Symbiosis}}. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it has its own [[Pokédex]] entry, as with other alternate forms of Pokémon in Generation VII onward. Despite it not being present in the data of any [[Nintendo Switch]] core series games until [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette had a sprite in the coding of [[Pokémon HOME]] long before it became legitimately available.

===Items===
{{main|List of unobtainable items#In Generation VI|List of unobtainable items → In Generation VI}}
Five unused items exist in the internal data of X and Y.
* {{DL|List of unobtainable items|Common Stone}}
* {{DL|List of unobtainable items|Travel Trunk}}
* [[Fairy Gem]]
* {{DL|List of unobtainable items|Mega Charm}}
* {{DL|List of unobtainable items|Mega Glove}}

===Moves===
Three unused [[move]]s exist in the data of the Generation VI games. No legally obtainable Pokémon can learn them, and no Pokémon were ever distributed knowing the move. Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves can be learned by {{p|Zygarde}} starting from [[Generation VII]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] via [[Zygarde Cube]].

===Trainer classes===
Unused {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es are present in the internal data of the games.
* Ace Surfer (Japanese: なみのりエリート ''Surfing Elite'')
** It may have been intended to be used for the {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s found {{m|surf}}ing in the overworld that were later introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. The Trainer class is also included in the app [[Learn Real English Through Pokémon: XY Translation Scope]].
* {{tc|Swimmers}} (Japanese: みずぎカップル ''Swimsuit Couple'')
** This Trainer class was later introduced in [[Generation VII]]'s [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

===Hidden Abilities===
Some Pokémon are programmed to have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]] in [[Generation VI]], but cannot legally obtain them. These Abilities may have been distributed in a later generation or are currently still not obtainable. For Flabébé's evolutionary line, all other flower colors are obtainable with their Hidden Ability.

===Shiny Pokémon===
Every Pokémon in the game is programmed to have a {{Shiny}} variant, but some of them cannot be obtained legally. These Shiny Pokémon may have been distributed in a later generation or are currently still not obtainable.

===Battle Maison===
In the internal text file for the [[Battle Maison]], there are 12 complete sets of unused text strings for the top three competitors from the [[World Championships]]. They may have been intended to be used as part of an event like the [[World Championships Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}. For each ranking, there are two variant sets of dialogue, with each set also having a variant using masculine and feminine pronouns and language.

'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') is the [[rival]] character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, playing opposite {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}. He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]].

In [[Generation II]], he appears with no {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} in all battles, although the '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'') Trainer class is associated with him in the game data. In [[Generation IV]], he uses the same Trainer class, except this time it appears normally in-game.

==In the core series games==
Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[first partner Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.

Silver shows a strong dislike of [[Team Rocket]]. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a Pokémon (heavily implied to be {{p|Sneasel}}) from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and while {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], he interferes to prove himself. It is in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in Mahogany that he meets with [[Lance]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Indigo League]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon Trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when Team Rocket takes over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.

By the time the player reaches {{ka|Victory Road}}, Silver challenges them not out of malice, but to prove that he is a capable Trainer. Though he is defeated, he departs with quiet determination, vowing to continue training. After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, Silver appears again on [[Mt. Moon]]. Although he loses, he remarks that his Pokémon are getting stronger and resolves to continue training at the [[Dragon's Den]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, following the Mt. Moon encounter, Lance and [[Clair]] appear at the Dragon’s Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[Multi Battle]]. During this team-up, Silver’s {{p|Golbat}} has already evolved into {{p|Crobat}}, a sign that he has started treating his Pokémon with care. After the battle, Silver returns to Professor Elm’s lab, where he seemingly attempts to return the starter Pokémon he had stolen long ago. Elm even remarks that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him, reinforcing the idea that Silver is changing.

From this point on, Silver can be found training at the Dragon’s Den on Tuesdays and Thursdays, though he will no longer battle the player there. On Mondays and Wednesdays, however, he appears at the steps of the Indigo Plateau to halt the player for a battle as they walk towards the steps to enter the [[Elite Four]]'s domain. He does not show up on Fridays or weekends, possibly indicating that he gives his Pokémon a well-earned rest.

In terms of personality, Silver is initially the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed, and even physically abusive, pushing the [[player character]] around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[first partner Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon. Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the first partner Pokémon he stole. Noticeably, Silver does express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

[[Giovanni]] and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when Team Rocket {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] at the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]] asks the player if they are "Giovanni's kid", but concludes they're not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair." Their relationship is officially confirmed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, where bringing a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} to the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] causes the player to [[Time travel|travel three years into the past]], allowing them to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion after his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father, hating how he's brave only when surrounded by his followers and swearing to become strong all on his own.

===Pokémon===
The [[first partner Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. It will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's first partner Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Silver appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he is simply called "Rival". He can be battled in [[White City]] once the player has cleared every [[Stadium Mode]] and both [[Gym Leader Castle]]s, acting as the final opponent of the game. His [[party]] consists of three [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|with a base stat total of 680}}, which the player is allowed to face with up to six Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Silver does not gain a new battle sprite in his postgame fights in HeartGold and SoulSilver, unlike the original games.
* In the Generation II [[core series]] games, Silver is the only [[Pokémon Trainer]] [[non-player character]] who appears to have no {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}, only having "<name> wants to battle!" in his battle text.
** However, in the game data, there are two separate Trainer classes sharing the same name: <sc>Rival</sc> (Japanese: ライバル ''Rival''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game. The {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the latter.
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the [[rival]] character lives in the same town as {{ga|Ethan|the protagonist}}. This aspect of his character was apparently discarded by the time of the final release, as his [[hometown]] was not elaborated upon in the {{pkmn|games}} and it is implied to not be [[New Bark Town]] since he seems to be unfamiliar with [[Professor Elm]]'s lab at the beginning of the game.
* In [[Generation IV]], Silver is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are red in the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
* In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at Indigo Plateau, the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme.
* In the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld 1999 demo, Silver's Magnemite and Magneton are instead a {{p|Rhyhorn}} and a {{p|Rhydon}} respectively.
** Additionally, his alternate post-game sprite is not present.
* The English script of the {{p|Celebi}} event in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
* Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.
* In the battle in the Goldenrod Tunnel in the remakes, his team when the player starts with Cyndaquil are all two levels lower than the same team he uses if the player were to start with another first partner Pokémon. This is presumably to make up for the player's Quilava likely not being fully evolved.
* In the original games, at level 16, Silver's Croconaw is {{pkmn2|underleveled}} in the second battle, when Totodile usually does not evolve into Croconaw until level 18. This is fixed in the remakes.
**His Haunter was also underleveled at level 20 in the third battle, when Gastly usually does not evolve until level 25. This is fixed in the remakes where instead his Haunter remains a Gastly.
* Silver is the first rival whose team does not change in accordance to his first partner Pokémon, nor does he have any types that cover for his first partner Pokémon's initial type.
* Ironically despite his hatred for Team Rocket, several of the Pokémon that Silver uses on his team are Pokémon that have been commonly used by Team Rocket members, as {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Haunter}} are all Pokémon that have been used by [[Team Rocket Grunts]], while {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} are commonly used by [[Team Rocket scientists]].
* Art of Silver on [[Game Freak]]'s website depicts him with a {{p|Houndoom}}, despite not owning one within the games.
* While Silver did not appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} outside of a brief cameo, he shares many similarities to [[Paul]], who was {{Ash}}'s main rival throughout {{aniseries|DP}}. Like Silver, Paul believed in raising the power of his Pokémon through harsh training as opposed to forming a trusting relationship, which put him at odds with Ash throughout the series.
** Silver also shares many similarities with [[Mewtwo (M01)|Mewtwo]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Both separated from, and have a personal enmity with, Giovanni and Team Rocket, and yet, like Giovanni, valued being the strongest in the world to a degree that led them to act callously and disdainfully towards humans and Pokémon whom they saw as weak. Silver has Giovanni as his literal father, whereas Mewtwo was created at Giovanni's instigation and regards him as a parental figure (as it mentions in the Japanese version of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''). Both abducted multiple Pokémon, although Mewtwo was more interested in [[cloning]] them than keeping them. Silver claimed he would be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Trainer]], and Mewtwo claimed to be the world's strongest Trainer already. Both are initially contemptuous towards the notion of [[Pokémon training]] being based on genuine [[friendship]], and both developed into kinder, more caring characters, while continuing to have serious personalities.

==Names==
He was first named '''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') in Bandai's Pokémon Scale World collection,<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2020/1000140058.html "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://p-bandai.com/sg/item/N2511649001001 "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (English)</ref><ref>[https://sg.portal-pokemon.com/goods/plush-toys/191114111230_premium_bandai_limited_edition_pokemon_scale_world_vol2_order_now.html "[PREMIUM BANDAI Limited Edition "Pokémon Scale World" Vol.2!! Order Now!!" on the official Pokémon website in Singapore] (English)]</ref> which was released in 2020 (21 years after his introduction in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}). In 2021, he became available {{mas|Silver|with the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], which was the first time he was named in-game. No definitive name has been given for him in the [[core series]] games or their manuals.

In the core series games, he is temporarily known by a placeholder name in the first {{pkmn|battle}} before he is named by the player:
* '''???''' (Japanese: '''???''') in [[Generation II]]
* '''Passerby Boy''' (Japanese: '''とおりすがりのしょうねん''' ''Passerby Boy'') in [[Generation IV]], using the placeholder {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Passerby" and placeholder name "Boy"

If the player attempts to leave his name blank, his default name refers to a game other than the current one: '''Gold'''{{sup/2|S}}, '''Silver'''{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/2|C}}, '''Heart'''{{sup/4|SS}}, or '''Soul'''{{sup/4|HG}} (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold'', '''シルバー''' ''Silver'', '''ハート''' ''Heart'', or '''ソウル''' ''Soul'').

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], his name is displayed as '''Rival Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバルライバル''' ''Rival Rival''), since the word "Rival" is repeatedly stored in the game data as both the Trainer class and the character name.

In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], his name is '''{{j|シゲル}}'''{{sup/2|G}} ''Shigeru'' or '''{{j|サトシ}}'''{{sup/2|S}} ''Satoshi''. These are {{Gary}}'s and {{Ash}}'s respective Japanese names, and correspond to the second entry in the list of optional names for {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}} in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

Until the reveal of his official name, '''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') was almost universally used in [[fanon]] as the name for this character. Some fans instead called him '''Kamon''' (Japanese: '''カモン''' ''Kamon'') to discern him from {{adv|Silver|his Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} and {{OBP|Silver|HS18|an unrelated animated series character}}. This name is taken from the suggested names for {{ga|Ethan}} in both the Japanese and English versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}}; this is similar to some fans calling {{ga|Blue}} "{{Gary}}", since the name is found as one of the options for the {{player}} in international {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} and for the [[rival]] in international {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}.

'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Kitakami]], there is a particular Ursaluna that has a unique [[#Form data|form]] known as '''Bloodmoon Ursaluna'''. Unlike regular Ursaluna, it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gray pelt around its large, humped back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's [[Evolution]] is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] during a full moon. Its {{a|Bulletproof|resilient physique}} allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna is good at searching for [[item]]s and missing [[Human|people]] using their sense of smell. In the present day, it is implied by [[Perrin]] that Ursaluna are now very uncommon.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for him being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{ga|Arceus}}. He is one of the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} who resides in [[Crimson Mirelands]], watched over by the [[warden]] [[Calaba]]. This special Ursaluna is known to assist humans.

===Forms===
[[File:SV Bloodmoon Ursaluna Sighting.png|thumb|left|250px|Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
A [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|particular Ursaluna]] has a unique form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Known as the "Bloodmoon Beast", it is stated that this Ursaluna is the only one known to exist, and is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ Bloodmoon Ursaluna | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> The name of this unique Ursaluna comes from the distinctive red moon mark on its forehead.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. Its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the right eye's pupil and has what appears to be a scar near the eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the [[Hisui]] region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's [[Timeless Woods]]. It gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights. Bloodmoon Ursaluna can {{m|Blood Moon|unleash the full brunt of its spirit}} from the red moon mark in its forehead which also serves as its weak spot as told and seen in Pokemon Horizons series.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Blood Moon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mind's Eye}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an Ursaluna is a supporting character and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that is cared for by the [[Warden]] [[Calaba]]. He a descendant of the Ursaluna that the [[ancient hero]] befriended ages ago in [[Hisui]]an legend.
* A special [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|Ursaluna]], under the name of the "Bloodmoon Beast" appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Teal Mask]] expansion, appearing as a minor character and boss. Originally from Hisui, it one day crossed the sea and ended up drifting ashore into [[Kitakami]]'s [[Timeless Woods]]. Through weathering, unlike a typical [[form change]] or [[Evolution]], it gained the appearance it is known for, adapting the form known as "Bloodmoon" in the Pokédex. It is a target of [[Perrin]]'s photography.

===Form data===
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is always [[Gender|male]] and its form cannot be changed. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Ursaring}}. Mechanically, other than its shared species, the only traits that Bloodmoon Ursaluna shares with regular Ursaluna are its [[type]] and the ability to produce {{p|Teddiursa}} {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} when {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}}, and therefore the ability to acquire [[Egg Move]]s via [[Mirror Herb]]. Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a [[signature Ability]], {{a|Mind's Eye}}, as its sole [[Ability]], and its [[base stats]], learnable [[move]]s, and [[cry]] are also different from those of regular Ursaluna.

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

==Trivia==
* Ursaluna, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rather than a [[regional form]] to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Since Ursaring is not programmed to evolve in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the only way to obtain a regular Ursaluna with the Scarlet and Violet [[origin mark]] is to transfer a {{p|Teddiursa}} or {{p|Ursaring}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} using {{g|HOME}}, evolve it there, and transfer it back.
* Prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} v3.0.0, if the player had Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], its {{Shiny}} form would be viewable in the [[Pokédex]] if they had a Shiny Ursaluna of any form. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is prevented from being Shiny, this was the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.
** In v3.0.0 onward, the game was hardcoded to prevent this from occurring, making Bloodmoon Ursaluna the only Pokémon prevented from appearing as Shiny in the Pokédex, even when [[cheating]] to obtain it as Shiny or trying to force the Pokédex to display it.
* Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only alternate form of a Pokémon that is not a [[regional form]] to have a separate listing in the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
* Although Teddiursa and regular Ursaluna can learn {{m|Charm}} from [[breeding]] or TM, Bloodmoon Ursaluna cannot learn it by TM. However, it can still learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] with another Pokémon that knows the move.
* A glitch exists within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] where Ursaluna's "happy" and "curious" sounds are replaced by those of {{p|Basculegion}}. The only way to hear its natural "happy" sound is by throwing its [[Poké Ball]] outside of battle with a high enough friendship level. There is no known way to hear its natural "curious" sound.

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the {{wp|lunar eclipse}} phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the moon appearing red in the sky. It also seems to be based on {{wp|onikuma}}, bears that have transformed into yokai after living for an exceptionally long time. Onikuma are known to walk on two legs and continue to grow, reaching sizes much larger than even the largest natural bears.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''luna'' (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

'''Overqwil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーマン''' ''Haryman'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

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

==Biology==
Overqwil is a large, spherical {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resides in the sea. All over its body are overgrown conical spikes whose colors correspond to those on Overqwil's body. Its top half is black while its bottom half is light yellow; the two halves meet in the middle and form a wave pattern. The spikes on the top half of its body have parts of purple at their tips, and two very long spikes at the top and bottom of its body jut out in a straight direction. Above its eyes and around part of the top half of its body, Overqwil has circular purple dots. Its lips also have a purple coloration and appear puffy, and its small light-yellow eyes have purple pupils and are always fixated on an annoyed expression. In between its eyes are two pairs of spikes, the outer ones being longer and resembling eyebrows. Its large tail appears flat with a black outline and a purple inside, which also has a pattern that resembles the letter "Q."

Overqwil has a very aggressive personality to match its short temper, which has given it the nickname "sea fiend." Its diet consists of poison. Overqwil's poisonous spikes react automatically to targets, even while asleep. The barbed spikes will stab any moving thing that approaches Overqwil, and have been known to adhere tightly to their target. It has been recently seen along with its pre-Evolution, offshore in cold parts of the world, specifically in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Polar Biome]]. It has also been seen inside [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

Overqwil and its pre-evolved form, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

===Evolution===
Overqwil evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Overqwil was first hinted at in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before its official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, being alluded to in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]], where it is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Overqwil and Qwilfish are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}} and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Overqwil was unable to learn {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Acid Spray}}, {{m|Hex}}, and {{m|Swift}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolved form could.
* Overqwil is one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U" (unlike most words in the English language with a "Q" in it) with the other being its pre-Evolution Qwilfish.
* Overqwil and its pre-evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.

===Origin===
Overqwil appears to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which are covered in spines and are poisonous to eat. Its {{t|Dark}} typing and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

Its oversized spikes along with their ability to inject poison may also be inspired by other venomous marine animals such as {{wp|lionfish}} or {{wp|sea urchin}}s. Overqwil and its pre-Evolution's notoriety amongst fishermen may be a reference to the significant threat that lionfish pose as an invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean, another potential inspiration for Overqwil's {{t|Dark}} type.

Overqwil's physical appearance and ability to learn {{m|Self-Destruct}} (and Qwilfish's ability to learn {{m|Explosion}} in many generations) are reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}}. It also resembles a {{wp|Morning star (weapon)|morning star}} or the spiked end of a {{wp|Flail (weapon)|flail}}. Based on its Japanese {{pkmn|category}}, it may also be partly inspired by the ''{{wp|kenzan}}'' (剣山, lit. "sword mountain"), a device consisting of a plate with numerous needles or spikes on it, used to fix flowers in place for the art of {{wp|ikebana}} (flower arranging).

====Name origin====
Overqwil may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:overkill|overkill]]'' and ''{{p|Qwilfish}}''.

Haryman may be derived from ハリーセン ''Harysen'' (Qwilfish) or [[Wiktionary:針千本|針千本]] ({{wp|porcupinefish}}), with the [[Wiktionary:千#Japanese|千]] ''sen'' (thousand) part replaced with [[Wiktionary:万#Japanese|万]] ''man'' (ten thousand or {{wp|myriad}}). The Japanese name for porcupinefish, 針千本 (''harisenbon''), can be interpreted literally as "one thousand sewing needles". The last character in 針千本 ''harisenbon'', 本, is a counter for slender objects. The Japanese name for Overwqil can be interpreted literally as "ten thousand sewing needles".

'''Qwilfish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーセン''' ''Harysen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

In [[Hisui]], Qwilfish has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} [[regional form]]. Hisuian Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}. [[Johto]]nian Qwilfish is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

In the modern day, Hisuian Qwilfish can be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:QwilfishShiningLegends21.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Qwilfish inflating its body]]
Qwilfish is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea dwelling}} {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body and a flat, paddle-shaped tail. The upper half of its body is dark teal and the lower half is light greenish-yellow. Its tail is tall and thin with a dark teal outline, light greenish-yellow inside, and two dark teal dots in the center that resemble the Japanese character ハ ''Ha''. Its eyes are even with its body and are always seen slanted angrily. Below its eyes are its puffy pink lips. All around its body are sharp, conical spikes, which evolved from scales over time.

In order to attack, Qwilfish drinks over 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of water to inflate its body. It then uses the water pressure to shoot poisonous quills at its foe, which can cause fainting. Qwilfish is briefly left defenseless shortly after firing its quills; this is believed by some expert fishers to be the opportune moment to catch this Pokémon. Due to its round body, Qwilfish is not a great swimmer, and when filled with water it is even harder for it to swim. When Qwilfish faces a larger opponent, it will inflate its body to match its size as close as it can. If it is startled while inflated, it will spit out all its water, propelling itself away.

Qwilfish, Hisuian Qwilfish, and the latter's evolved form, {{p|Overqwil}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

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

In [[Hisui]], its upper half is black, while its lower half is pale yellow. Its body is covered in spikes; the spikes on its upper body have dark purple tips, except for the two spikes on its forehead, which are also smaller in size. Hisuian Qwilfish can spray poison from these spines. There are crescent purple lines underneath Hisuian Qwilfish's eyes, and its lips are also colored purple. Its flat tail has a black outline with a light yellow inside, and a black pattern that resembles the lowercase letter "q".

Hisuian Qwilfish is despised by the fishermen of the Hisui region, due to its poison wreaking havoc in the seas it lives in. Its poisonous spikes are thicker and shorter than Qwilfish from other regions. Getting jabbed by Hisuian Qwilfish's poison will make a person feel pain and misery for three days and three nights. This form of Qwilfish absorbs poison from the food it consumes such as toxic minerals. The purple coloration on its body serves as evidence of its potent poison. In the present day, Hisuian Qwilfish and it’s evolution is known to be found offshore in cold parts of the world and in Blueberry Academy, located somewhere in [[Unova]]'s ocean, specifically in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Polar Biome]]. It has also been seen inside [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===Evolution===
[[Hisuian form|Hisuian]] Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}}. Johtonian Qwilfish cannot evolve.

==Trivia==
* Qwilfish shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
* Qwilfish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Remoraid}}. Both of them are {{type|Water}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Qwilfish is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, while Remoraid is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions, and both being swarm Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* A [[Media:Capsule Monsters Papyo.jpg|pre-alpha sketch]] of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] depicts a Pokémon with the same Pokédex number as Qwilfish.
* Qwilfish and {{p|Overqwil|its Hisuian evolved form}} are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}, and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* According to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, [[Hugh]]'s hairstyle resembles a Qwilfish.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form were first hinted in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before their official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where they were mentioned in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]] where Overqwil is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Hisuian Qwilfish is the first [[Hisuian form]] that can be caught outside of [[Hisui]] (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s).
** Hisuian Qwilfish and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} are the only [[Regional form]]s that can be caught in all [[Generation IX]] games (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Mass outbreak]]s).
* Qwilfish is the only Pokémon with a name beginning with the letter "Q" that is not followed by a "U" like most words in the English language.
**It is also one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U", the other being its {{rf|Hisuian}} evolved form Overqwil.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* The [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] has an early design of Qwilfish named プクー ''Pukū'', whose name may be a corruption of 河豚 ''{{wp|fugu}}'' ({{wp|pufferfish}}). It was a pure Water type and would evolve into シビレフグ ''Shibirefugu'' at level 18.

===Origin===
Qwilfish seems to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which inflate their bodies when threatened and are covered in {{wp|spine}}s. Many species are incredibly toxic when ingested, which explains Qwilfish's {{t|Poison}} type. However, its ability to directly inject venom through its spines is similar to a {{wp|lionfish}}. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}} due to its round body and ability to explode.

Hisuian Qwilfish's {{t|Dark}} type and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

====Name origin====
Qwilfish may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:quill#English|quill]]'' (the noun, meaning porcupine or hedgehog spikes, or the verb, meaning to pierce with quills) and ''{{wp|fish}}''.

Harysen may be derived from [[Wiktionary:針千本|針千本]] ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}). The Japanese name for porcupinefish, 針千本 (''harisenbon''), can be interpreted literally as "one thousand sewing needles".

'''Qwilfish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーセン''' ''Harysen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

In [[Hisui]], Qwilfish has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} [[regional form]]. Hisuian Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}. [[Johto]]nian Qwilfish is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

In the modern day, Hisuian Qwilfish can be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:QwilfishShiningLegends21.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Qwilfish inflating its body]]
Qwilfish is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea dwelling}} {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body and a flat, paddle-shaped tail. The upper half of its body is dark teal and the lower half is light greenish-yellow. Its tail is tall and thin with a dark teal outline, light greenish-yellow inside, and two dark teal dots in the center that resemble the Japanese character ハ ''Ha''. Its eyes are even with its body and are always seen slanted angrily. Below its eyes are its puffy pink lips. All around its body are sharp, conical spikes, which evolved from scales over time.

In order to attack, Qwilfish drinks over 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of water to inflate its body. It then uses the water pressure to shoot poisonous quills at its foe, which can cause fainting. Qwilfish is briefly left defenseless shortly after firing its quills; this is believed by some expert fishers to be the opportune moment to catch this Pokémon. Due to its round body, Qwilfish is not a great swimmer, and when filled with water it is even harder for it to swim. When Qwilfish faces a larger opponent, it will inflate its body to match its size as close as it can. If it is startled while inflated, it will spit out all its water, propelling itself away.

Qwilfish, Hisuian Qwilfish, and the latter's evolved form, {{p|Overqwil}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

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

In [[Hisui]], its upper half is black, while its lower half is pale yellow. Its body is covered in spikes; the spikes on its upper body have dark purple tips, except for the two spikes on its forehead, which are also smaller in size. Hisuian Qwilfish can spray poison from these spines. There are crescent purple lines underneath Hisuian Qwilfish's eyes, and its lips are also colored purple. Its flat tail has a black outline with a light yellow inside, and a black pattern that resembles the lowercase letter "q".

Hisuian Qwilfish is despised by the fishermen of the Hisui region, due to its poison wreaking havoc in the seas it lives in. Its poisonous spikes are thicker and shorter than Qwilfish from other regions. Getting jabbed by Hisuian Qwilfish's poison will make a person feel pain and misery for three days and three nights. This form of Qwilfish absorbs poison from the food it consumes such as toxic minerals. The purple coloration on its body serves as evidence of its potent poison. In the present day, Hisuian Qwilfish is known to be found offshore in cold parts of the world and in Blueberry Academy, located somewhere in [[Unova]]'s ocean, specifically in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Polar Biome]]. It has also been seen inside [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===Evolution===
[[Hisuian form|Hisuian]] Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}}. Johtonian Qwilfish cannot evolve.

==Trivia==
* Qwilfish shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
* Qwilfish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Remoraid}}. Both of them are {{type|Water}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Qwilfish is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, while Remoraid is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions, and both being swarm Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* A [[Media:Capsule Monsters Papyo.jpg|pre-alpha sketch]] of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] depicts a Pokémon with the same Pokédex number as Qwilfish.
* Qwilfish and {{p|Overqwil|its Hisuian evolved form}} are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}, and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* According to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, [[Hugh]]'s hairstyle resembles a Qwilfish.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form were first hinted in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before their official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where they were mentioned in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]] where Overqwil is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Hisuian Qwilfish is the first [[Hisuian form]] that can be caught outside of [[Hisui]] (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s).
** Hisuian Qwilfish and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} are the only [[Regional form]]s that can be caught in all [[Generation IX]] games (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Mass outbreak]]s).
* Qwilfish is the only Pokémon with a name beginning with the letter "Q" that is not followed by a "U" like most words in the English language.
**It is also one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U", the other being its {{rf|Hisuian}} evolved form Overqwil.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* The [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] has an early design of Qwilfish named プクー ''Pukū'', whose name may be a corruption of 河豚 ''{{wp|fugu}}'' ({{wp|pufferfish}}). It was a pure Water type and would evolve into シビレフグ ''Shibirefugu'' at level 18.

===Origin===
Qwilfish seems to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which inflate their bodies when threatened and are covered in {{wp|spine}}s. Many species are incredibly toxic when ingested, which explains Qwilfish's {{t|Poison}} type. However, its ability to directly inject venom through its spines is similar to a {{wp|lionfish}}. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}} due to its round body and ability to explode.

Hisuian Qwilfish's {{t|Dark}} type and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

====Name origin====
Qwilfish may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:quill#English|quill]]'' (the noun, meaning porcupine or hedgehog spikes, or the verb, meaning to pierce with quills) and ''{{wp|fish}}''.

Harysen may be derived from [[Wiktionary:針千本|針千本]] ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}). The Japanese name for porcupinefish, 針千本 (''harisenbon''), can be interpreted literally as "one thousand sewing needles".

'''Kleavor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バサギリ''' ''Basagiri'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]]. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Scizor}}.

==Biology==
Kleavor is a {{wp|Mantis|mantis-like}} insect {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a craggy {{wp|exoskeleton}} featuring a rock-like composition. Its predominantly beige and white body is adorned with numerous black rocky protrusions, including a ring of angular rocks on each of its shoulders, a mask of rock lining its brows down to its jawline, two sharp toe claws on each foot, and a single black shard of rock atop the crown of its head. The large wings present on Scyther's back seem to have atrophied into {{wp|Vestigiality|vestigial features}} on Kleavor. Most notably, each of Kleavor's two spindly front limbs ends in large axe-like appendages made of heavy, {{a|Sharpness|extremely sharp}} black rock, capable of causing severe damage to even the hardiest of foes. Kleavor swings these appendages to carve and chop down trees, marking its territory.<ref name=LAsite>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/kleavor/ Kleavor | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It also uses these heavy stone axes to finish off prey.

Kleavor is an Evolution of {{p|Scyther}} caused by [[Black Augurite]]s, which are said to originate from volcanic regions in [[Hisui]] but are now extremely rare. The stones that adorn Kleavor's body often get chipped during fierce fights; larger chips are a sign that it is experienced in battle. Stone shards that fell off Kleavor during the battle were known to have been collected and used by the settlers of Hisui to craft tools.<ref name=LAsite/> Kleavor is known to be very hostile, and it is best avoided if ever encountered in the wild. Kleavor's nature is described as being rough, crude, and violent.

Kleavor is implied to be at the brink of extinction in the present day, only known to be found in [[Blueberry Academy]], located somewhere in Unova's ocean, specifically in its [[Terarium]]'s [[Canyon Biome]] as well as [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

A special Kleavor is worshiped by the Hisui people as he is descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{p|Arceus}}. In particular, he is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] watched by the [[warden]] [[Lian]].

Kleavor is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stone Axe}}.

===Evolution===
Kleavor evolves from Scyther. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Scizor}}.

===Evolution data===
Kleavor evolves from {{p|Scyther}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]]. Scyther cannot evolve into Kleavor in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], as Black Augurite cannot be obtained in those games, but can be transferred over to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] and evolved in that game.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Lucius's Kleavor]]=====
A Kleavor first appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', where it's revealed that it was one of [[Lucius]]'s Pokémon and one of the [[Six Heroes]]. It physically debuted at the very end of ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', albeit heavily shadowed, where it was spotted by [[Perrin]]. It properly appeared to Liko and her friends in ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]''. Unlike other depictions of its species, Kleavor's axes are heavily worn out.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Kleavor (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Despite having different base stats, Kleavor, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Scyther}} all have a base stat total of 500. As such, Kleavor and Scizor are the only Pokémon to not have their base stat total change upon [[Evolution|evolving]].
* Kleavor, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Ursaluna}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form rather than the regional form to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Kleavor is the only {{type|Rock}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings}}.
* Kleavor is the only Pokémon introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that can have the [[Galar]] [[origin mark|symbol]] or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go mark]], due to Scyther being able to have them.
* In the internal code of Legends: Arceus, Kleavor's Hidden Ability is {{a|Steadfast}} instead of {{a|Sharpness}}.
* Prior to Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Kleavor's base Attack stat was decreased by 5 points to 130, and its Special Defense stat was increased by 5 to 75. This change was undone when Kleavor became available in those games. Similar occurences happened to Hisuian {{p|Zorua}} and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}}.
** Prior to Version 2.0.1, Kleavor was unable to learn {{m|Rain Dance}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.

===Origin===
Kleavor may be based on a {{wp|Mantis|praying mantis}}. Due to its coloration, it may be based on a {{wp|dead leaf mantis}} in particular. Its stones appear to be based on {{wp|obsidian}}, a volcanic glass with a deep black color that produces sharp edges when fractured. The shard on its head resembles a stylized {{wp|chonmage}}, a topknot hairstyle worn by samurai and sumo wrestlers, or a 髻 ''jì'', a Chinese topknot that was worn by men.

Kleavor's overall design, especially its stone axe forelegs, may be inspired by the idiom 蟷螂の斧 ''tōrō no ono'' (lit. mantis's axe), a figurative expression that connotes a courageous but doomed resistance. In Japanese, the alternate name for the mantis is 斧虫 ''onomushi'', literally meaning "axe bug".

====Name origin====
Kleavor seems to be a corruption of ''cleaver'', or a combination of ''cleaver'' and ''razor''. It may also involve ''{{wp|ore}}'' (a natural and valuable rock) and [[wp:Cleavage_(crystal)|''cleavage'']] (the tendency of crystals to split along defined structural planes).

Basagiri may be a combination of バッサリ ''bassari'' (with a single stroke), ばさら ''basara'' (acting without restraint; a term used during medieval Japan describing the disregard for the higher ranks), a corruption of ''berserker'', 鉞 ''masakari'' ({{wp|broadaxe}}), and カマキリ ''kamakiri'' (mantis).

TurtwigFan4848: /* Trivia */

{{samename|property of a Pokémon called "type" in [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]|Pokémon category}}
----
{{Types|diamond|* 1}}
'''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are properties applied to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s, which affect the power of moves in [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s. As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are 19 types, with 18 regular types and the special {{t|Stellar}} type. Most of the types were introduced during [[Generation I]], but the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types were introduced in [[Generation II]], the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in [[Generation VI]], and the Stellar type was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. A unique {{t|???}} type also existed from Generations II to {{gen|IV}}. The types are largely based on the concept of classical elements in popular culture.

==Terminology==
In Generation I, types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.

In the [[Pokémon Trivia Challenge]] minigame from [[Pokémon Masters Arena]], this was sometimes written as '''Type''' starting with a capital letter. For instance:
* ''"Which of the following Pokémon is the same '''Type''' as {{p|Marshtomp}}?"''

==Summary==
A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. Pokémon with two types are known as dual-type Pokémon, while Pokémon with only one type are known as pure type Pokémon. With this system and there currently being 18 types, there is a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique [[List of type combinations by abundance|combinations]], 162 of which have been used as of {{CURRENTGEN}}. Similarly to Pokémon, [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] also have types.

All moves have exactly one type each. The type of a damaging move typically determines which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against (with [[: Category:Moves that have special type effectiveness properties|very few exceptions]]). If the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, it gains a [[Same-type attack bonus|boost in power]].

Most [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, [[Trial Captain]]s, and [[island kahuna]]s have a [[Type expert|type-specific theme]].

The {{t|Stellar}} type is a special case, as no Pokémon or moves naturally bear it. However, a Pokémon can {{Tera}}stallize into the Stellar type, which can also change {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} into the type as well.

==List of types==
Each type is assigned a particular [[index number]] used to identify it within a particular game, such as the data structures defining the types of a Pokémon or move.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], a type's index number is also used to determine whether a move of that type deals [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] damage, with all types from the {{t|Fire}} type onward dealing special damage. In the Generation III games, a damaging {{type|???}} move would be treated as dealing neither physical nor special damage, and deal 2 base damage.

Value 6 in Generations I and II is the unused {{t|Bird}} type, which was removed in subsequent games. Values 9–19 (in Generation I) or 10–18 (in Generation II) are placeholders that display as "Normal". Values beyond the last defined entry may be used as the types of [[glitch Pokémon]] or [[glitch move]]s, and are known as [[glitch type]]s. Value 19 in Generation IX is used as a {{wp|Magic number (programming)|magic number}} to indicate that a Pokémon's Tera Type has not been changed from its original value.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/a02e4db09859eedd360da5a39fa55d9d8f52ecd0/PKHeX.Core/PKM/Interfaces/ITeraType.cs#L28</ref>

==Type effectiveness==
[[File:Sylveon vs Hydreigon.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Sylveon}} using a super effective move on {{p|Hydreigon}}]]
:''"Super effective" redirects here. For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
:''"It's super effective" redirects here. For the podcast, see [[It's Super Effective (podcast)]].''
:''"Weakness" and "Resistance" redirect here. For the TCG mechanics, see [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Weakness|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Weakness]]'' and ''[[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Resistance|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Resistance]].''

Damaging moves typically vary in '''effectiveness''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}''' ''effectiveness'') depending on the move's type and the type(s) of its target.

Type effectiveness greatly influences how much [[damage]] moves deal:
* If the type of a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はバツグン''' ''super effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
* If the type of a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}は{{ruby|今一|いまひと}}つ''' ''not very effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is halved;
* If the type of a move '''has no effect''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}がない''' ''not effective'') against a type of its target, the target is completely immune to it, and the move will deal no damage.

For targets that have multiple types, the type effectiveness of a move is the product of its effectiveness against each of the types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Ground}} move used against a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage. In [[Pokémon Champions]], this is referred to as '''extremely effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はちょうバツグン''' ''extremely effective'').
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Fighting}} move used against a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move only does ¼ of the damage. In Pokémon Champions, this is referred to as '''mostly ineffective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はかなり{{ruby|今一|いまひと}}つ''' ''quite ineffective'').
* If the type of a move is super effective against one of the opponent's types but not very effective against the other (such as a {{type|Grass}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move deals regular damage.
* If the type of a move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage regardless of how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected (as in an {{type|Electric}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon).
[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage.
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage.
* In all other cases, the type effectiveness is the same as in other games.

The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, and {{m|Nihil Light}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}} remove certain type immunities from their targets. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain {{Abilities}}, [[held item]]s, or types of [[weather]] (such as {{a|Levitate}}, the [[Ring Target]], or [[strong winds]], respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves.

[[Status move]]s typically do not employ type effectiveness. There are some exceptions; {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}} based on type interactions, and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}} based on type interactions in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be afflicted with {{status|poison}} and are thus unaffected by {{m|Poison Gas}}.

Different sounds are played depending on the effectiveness of a move, with super effective attacks having a different sound from the normal hit, and not very effective attacks also having a distinct sound. Moves with no effect do not play a sound at all.

===Type chart===
:''For type charts from previous generations, see [[Type/Type chart]]''
[[File:Type Chart ZA.png|300px|thumb|The type chart as shown in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.]]

A '''type chart''', also known as '''type matchup chart''', shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] types when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. If the defending Pokémon has two types, the two modifiers will be multiplied together: a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of the regular damage. (A complete ineffectiveness against either type will make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0.)

The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from. The type chart for [[Generation VI]] onward is shown below.

|}

In [[Inverse Battle]]s, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the regular type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.

The {{t|Stellar}} type is super effective against {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon, but is otherwise considered neutral against all types. It has no defensive properties at all, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will be treated as having its regular typing for defensive purposes.

===Dual-type damage misinformation glitch===
{{main|Dual-type damage misinformation}}
In [[Generation I]] only, if a damaging move is used on a Pokémon with two types such that one of its types is weak to the move and the other type resists the move, it will correctly receive neutral damage, but the incorrect message will be displayed on-screen. This does not occur in [[Pokémon Stadium]].

==Type-affected game mechanics==
Prior to [[Generation IV]], the [[damage category|category]] of damaging moves only depends on the move's type; for example, all {{type|Normal}} damaging moves are [[physical move]]s and all {{type|Water}} damaging moves are [[special move]]s. From [[Generation IV]] onward, each individual move has a [[damage category]] that is independent of its type.

When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. As an example, an {{p|Aron}} that knows the {{type|Steel}} move {{m|Metal Claw}} will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of {{m|Cut}} would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.

Some Pokémon types are immune to certain status moves or effects. For example, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are not damaged by {{weather|Hail}}.

Some moves, field effects, {{Abilities}}, and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific held item]] that can be given to a Pokémon that will power up one of the specific types by 20% (or 10%, prior to Generation IV), such as the [[Metal Coat]] for {{type|Steel}} moves.

Some moves and Abilities can temporarily [[type change|change a Pokémon's type]] in battle. For example, the move {{m|Camouflage}} changes the user's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. Some type-changing Abilities include {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Protean}}, and {{a|Libero}}.

Additionally, the type of {{cat|moves that change type|some moves}} may depend on the circumstances they are used in; for example, {{m|Weather Ball}} may be Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Rock-, or Normal-type depending on the [[weather]] it is used in. Additionally, there are {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types}} as well as exactly three moves: ({{m|Electrify}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}}, and {{m|Plasma Fists}}).

When a Pokémon has two types, those two types are always listed in an [[Type order|order specific to the Pokémon]]. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects {{m|Present}} in [[Generation II]], {{m|Revelation Dance}}, and {{m|Judgment}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] when used by {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Legend Plate]].

{{Tera}}stallizing can change a Pokémon's type to any single type, which will also change the type of the move {{m|Tera Blast}}.

===Typeless===
[[File:Struggle IV.png|frame|{{m|Struggle}}, a {{type|Normal}} move, dealing typeless damage to {{p|Gastly}}]]
There are situations where Pokémon or moves behave as if they were typeless, unable to receive {{STAB}} and boosts from [[type-enhancing item]]s or {{cat|type-enhancing Abilities|Abilities}}. This is most commonly possible through effects that make one lose a type, such as {{m|Burn Up}}, {{m|Roost}}, and {{m|Double Shock}}. Typeless Pokémon take regular damage from all moves, and typeless moves deal regular damage against all Pokémon.

{{m|Struggle}} acts typelessly from [[Generation II]] onward. The move {{m|Weather Ball}} acts typelessly under [[shadowy aura]], and the move {{m|Revelation Dance}} acts typelessly if used by a typeless user. {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} deal typeless damage before [[Generation V]].

Prior to [[Generation V]], typeless damage will ignore {{a|Wonder Guard}}. From Generation V onwards, typeless moves are blocked by Wonder Guard, with the exception of {{m|Struggle}}.

A typeless Pokémon has no types displayed on its battle summary.

==Icons==
{{missing image|section|Icons from Ga-Olé, Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and mobile version of HOME}}
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the [[core series]] games simply wrote out the type names in black text, with color association and type icons only being present in [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games.

In {{g|GO}}, icons were introduced to represent each of the types during gameplay. Very similar icons were later adopted into the core series, starting with {{g|Sun and Moon}} on [[Z-Crystal]]s and then following up with the subsequent core series games and {{g|HOME}}.

Some alternate icons associated with types appeared before. In {{g|X and Y}}, the floor of the {{kal|Pokémon League}}'s Radiant Chamber features a set of type icons as decoration.

[[The Indigo Disk]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} introduced a Pokémon named {{p|Terapagos}}, whose Terastal Form's shell displays icons for every type.

===Name icons===
{{Incomplete|section|Documentation of abreviations in other languages}}

In [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]] and [[Pokémon Stadium]], wide icons with type's name are used in-battle when using move preview function (with international versions using a solid color instead of a gradient), although in the former the colors of these icons do not always resemble the colors used in out-of-battle previews. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] these in-battle icons are replaced with just colored text (international versions) or black text in a colored field (Japanese version). Additionally, in Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2, a one- or two-character abbreviation is used for each type in out-of-battle move previews.

From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, the full name is used for all types in Japanese and Korean, but an abbreviated name is still used for some types in Western languages. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the full name is used for all types in all languages, except for the {{t|Bug}} type in Italian.

In {{g|Emerald}}, the TM preview menu from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is reused, including the different type icons (except for Bug-type and ???-type, due to lack of TMs of this type)

In [[Generation IV]] games, the smaller icons are used in the [[summary]] and in-battle, while the larger icons are used in the [[Pokédex]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Damage modification (Mystery Dungeon)}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the matchup multipliers are 0.5×, 0.9×, 1× and 1.5×. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the multipliers have been changed to 0.5×, 0.7×, 1× and 1.4×; if either the attacker or the defender has Erratic Player IQ skill, they are 0.25×, 0.5×, 1× and 1.7×, instead. Immunities provided from Abilities or moves, such as {{a|Levitate}} or {{m|Magnet Rise}}, are still 0×. Type matchups that would usually be immunities are instead announced as “It had little effect…”

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], moves that are ineffective in the core series are now ineffective as well (0× damage).

===Pokémon Ranger series===
In the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], each Pokémon has a group, equivalent to a type in the core series. The effectiveness of [[Poké Assist]]s on [[wild Pokémon]] is dependent on the Pokémon's group.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
In the [[Pokémon Rumble series]], the type effectiveness chart differs from the equivalent type chart in contemporaneous core series games. Moves that are ineffective in the core series deal 0.6× damage instead, moves that would be not very effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~0.8× or ~0.7× damage, respectively, and moves that would be super effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~1.2× and ~1.4× damage, respectively. 

===Pokémon Battrio===
{{main|Type (Battrio)}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Battrio]] all have one type in line with one of their types in the core games. Battrio also includes two unique types exclusively for {{p|Arceus}}, the Full Plate and Eleven-Plate types.

Pokémon Battrio's type effectiveness chart is also unique, with different possible strengths for weaknesses or resistances. For example, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to both Ice- and Fire-type moves, they are weaker to Fire-type moves than to Ice-type moves.

Players with a [[Pokémon Battrio#Memory Keys|Memory Key]] can also gain experience towards different types that will level up their {{DL|Type (Battrio)|Type Levels}}, granting Pokémon of that type a bonus in Attack or HP.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Pokémon Shuffle#Type|Pokémon Shuffle → Type}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]] each only have one type. Pokémon Shuffle's type effectiveness chart is also slightly different than the contemporaneous Generation VI chart, with 0× effectivenesses turned into ½× effectiveness.

Type is also used to determine immunity to certain [[status condition#Pokémon Shuffle|status conditions]].

===Pokémon Quest===
Pokémon have types (either one or two, as normal), and moves have types, but there are no type advantages in [[Pokémon Quest]]. Types still serve several roles, usually through matching a prompted type. When Pokémon use moves of the same type they are, the move deals additional damage. Certain [[Bingo Bonus|bingo bonuses]] increase the Attack of moves of a specified type that the Pokémon knows, or reduces the Wait of those moves. There are also bingo bonuses that reduce oncoming damage of a specific type.

Each of the game's [[Tumblecube Island|areas]] has a bonus Type. When playing a stage of that area, the player's Pokémon of that Type get a boost to their [[HP]] and [[Attack]].

Level-Up Training provides increased [[Exp]] to the Training Pokémon if the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type. Similarly, Move Learning Training has a higher success rate for changing the Training Pokémon's moves when the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type.

Most of the game's [[Cooking (Quest)|dishes]] attract Pokémon with a specific type to the {{OBP|base camp|Quest}}, allowing the player to [[Caught Pokémon|befriend]] them. The dish is themed to match the type in question. For example, the Honey Nectar à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, and the Get Swole Syrup à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. While there are eighteen different dishes, equal to the number of types, six of them attract Pokémon based on qualities that are not type. This means that {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dragon}}, and {{t|Ice}} all do not have an associated dish.

Some Challenge Quests relate to Pokémon types, tasking the player with defeating Pokémon of specific types and befriending Pokémon of specific types. One group of Quests is about going on expeditions with teams where all three Pokémon have a specific type.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart.

The multiplier for Pokémon GO is 1.6<sup>n</sup> (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). The exponent ''n'' starts at 0, with weakness adding 1, resistance substracting 1, and an immunity being equal to a double resistance, subtracting 2.

As such, the following multipliers are possible:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #ddf; border: 5px solid #ccf"
|-
!Type effectiveness
!Multiplier
|- style="background: #fff"
| Doubly super effective

|×0.244140625
|}

===Pokémon Masters EX===
Each Pokémon in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is assigned with a singular type and one type that Pokémon is weak against, regardless of how many weaknesses it has in the core series games. In addition, type immunities do not exist in this game. Mostly these types and weaknesses follow the core series; the only exceptions to these are {{mas|Pryce}}'s {{p|Seel}} (which is classified as an {{t|Ice}} type, despite being a pure {{t|Water}} type in the core series) and {{mas|Barry}}'s {{p|Empoleon}} (which is weak against {{t|Grass}}, despite not being weak to it in the core series games). Different Pokémon of the same species can have a different type or weakness, depending on which Trainer it belongs to.

===Pokémon UNITE===
There are no type advantages in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. However, events make use of Pokémon types. The Dragon Carnival event rewarded players for collecting and using the Dragon types on the roster. It included the event only Quick Battle {{DL|Mer Stadium|Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup}}, which is themed entirely around {{t|Dragon}} types. Every [[wild Pokémon]] in this kind of battle is Dragon-type except for {{p|Swablu}}, the pre-Evolution of the Dragon-type {{p|Altaria}}. Further, players can only use Dragon-type Pokémon. The Fairy Festival event is similar but is focused on {{t|Fairy}}-type Pokémon. There is also a bonus for having any Fairy-type Pokémon in a battle, even if they are on the opposing team. Instead of having a original Quick Battle, [[Panic Parade]] was changed to grant players a 10% boost to their event points for each Fairy-type Pokémon on the players' team and allow the allied {{p|Tinkaton}} to use an extra move for each Fairy-type Pokémon on the player's team. Both benefits cap out at three Fairy-type Pokémon.

===Pokémon Sleep===
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Sleep]] each only have one type. Types in Pokémon Sleep are solely used to determine the {{Berries}} that the Pokémon may gather, as follows. Types should not be confused with [[sleep type]]s.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Type (TCG)}}
There are eleven types in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], significantly fewer than in other Pokémon media. Because of the smaller number of types, Pokémon often have different types in the TCG to other Pokémon media. Due to the fact that Pokémon in the TCG can usually only have one type, dual-type Pokémon often have different cards which correspond to the Pokémon's two different types, since type is a property of the individual card and not the species. In the TCG, moves do not have their own type. Instead, for {{TCG|Weakness}} and {{TCG|Resistance}}, the type of the Pokémon card is used instead.

== Trivia ==

* {{T|Bug}} and {{T|Fighting}} are the only two types that are not very effective against each other both ways.
* {{T|Normal}} and {{T|Ghost}} are the only two types that are immune to each other both ways.
* [[Dragon (type)|Dragon]] and Ghost are the only two types that are super effective against themselves.
* Despite [[Type: Null]]’s name implying it has a type known as Null, it’s actually a {{T|Normal}} type.

'''Great Tusk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イダイナキバ''' ''Idainakiba'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Fighting}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Great Tusk is said to be either an ancient relative of {{p|Donphan}} or a version of it from a parallel timeline. It also has a futuristic counterpart, {{p|Iron Treads}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Great Tusk curled up.png|thumb|left|250px|A Great Tusk curled up]]
Great Tusk is a large gray {{wp|Proboscidea|proboscidean}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its trunk, topside, and tail are covered in dark purple plates, with three rows of pinkish-red spikes on top. Similar pinkish-red accents form around its slanted yellow eyes, as well as on its body as spots. It also has tufts of pinkish-red fur around its legs. Its face has a jagged mouth and two large tusks that curl inward. Its dark purple ears are long, thin, and serrated, with red on the inside.

Great Tusk has a savage nature. The [[Scarlet Book]], which named the creature, describes how it attacked the [[Area Zero]] Expedition team with its large body and tusks, fatally injuring one of the explorers in the process.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> An article from a September issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine describes Great Tusk as a mysterious life-form resembling {{p|Donphan}}, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition. Unlike its present-day and {{p|Iron Treads|future}} relatives, Great Tusk does not typically curl up into a ball, likely due to the size of its tusks. In the ''{{aniseries|HZ}}'' episode ''[[HZ080|Total-lie Awesome Pokémon in Area Zero?!]]'', however, it was shown to be able to do so by using the move {{m|Rollout}}. There is an unproven theory that the Great Tusk is a living relic of the dinosaur era.

According to AI Sada, Great Tusk is an ancient Pokémon related to Donphan. However, according to a version of [[Professor Sada]] that appeared at the [[Crystal Pool]], Great Tusk is a counterpart of Donphan from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Great Tusk was brought to the depths of Area Zero by a [[time machine]] built by Professor Sada 10 years ago. It was the first [[Paradox Pokémon]] to be discovered 200 years ago in Area Zero by the Area Zero Expedition team and recorded by [[Heath]] in his Scarlet Book. How it arrived there at the time, however, is unclear.

At some point, a Great Tusk escaped Area Zero, arrived at [[Asado Desert]], and consumed [[Sour Herba Mystica]], growing {{pkmn2|giant}} in the process. This individual became known as the [[Titan Pokémon|Quaking Earth Titan]].

==Game data==
[[File:Titan Great Tusk SV.png|thumb|250px|The Quaking Earth Titan in [[Pokémon Scarlet]]]]
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Scarlet]]: Great Tusk, known as the Quaking Earth Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Asado Desert]] to find the [[Sour Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]] and defeated it, forcing it to flee. After both took its Herba Mystica, Great Tusk became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

===Origin===
Great Tusk is based on {{p|Donphan}}. Its design may also be based on {{wp|mammoth}}s or {{wp|mastodon}}s, extinct relatives of elephants. Its spikes and tail are reminiscent of {{wp|dinosaur}}s. The combination of mammalian and reptilian traits may make Great Tusk be based on early {{wp|synapsids}}, also called "proto-mammals" and incorrectly called "mammal-like reptiles" in the past.

'''Great Tusk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イダイナキバ''' ''Idainakiba'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Fighting}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Great Tusk is said to be either an ancient relative of {{p|Donphan}} or a version of it from a parallel timeline. It also has a futuristic counterpart, {{p|Iron Treads}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Great Tusk curled up.png|thumb|left|250px|A Great Tusk curled up]]
Great Tusk is a large gray {{wp|Proboscidea|proboscidean}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its trunk, topside, and tail are covered in dark purple plates, with three rows of pinkish-red spikes on top. Similar pinkish-red accents form around its slanted yellow eyes, as well as on its body as spots. It also has tufts of pinkish-red fur around its legs. Its face has a jagged mouth and two large tusks that curl inward. Its dark purple ears are long, thin, and serrated, with red on the inside.

Great Tusk has a savage nature. The [[Scarlet Book]], which named the creature, describes how it attacked the [[Area Zero]] Expedition team with its large body and tusks, fatally injuring one of the explorers in the process.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> An article from a September issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine describes Great Tusk as a mysterious life-form resembling {{p|Donphan}}, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition. Unlike its present-day and {{p|Iron Treads|future}} relatives, Great Tusk does not typically curl up into a ball, likely due to the size of its tusks. In the ''{{aniseries|HZ}}'' episode ''[[HZ080|Total-lie Awesome Pokémon in Area Zero?!]]'', however, it was shown to be able to do so by using the move {{m|Rollout}}. There is an unproven theory that the Great Tusk is a living relic of the dinosaur era.

According to AI Sada, Great Tusk is an ancient Pokémon related to Donphan. However, according to a version of [[Professor Sada]] that appeared at the [[Crystal Pool]], Great Tusk is a counterpart of Donphan from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Great Tusk was brought to the depths of Area Zero by a [[time machine]] built by Professor Sada 10 years ago. It was the first [[Paradox Pokémon]] to be discovered 200 years ago in Area Zero by the Area Zero Expedition team and recorded by [[Heath]] in his Scarlet Book. How it arrived there at the time, however, is unclear.

At some point, a Great Tusk escaped Area Zero, arrived at [[Asado Desert]], and consumed [[Sour Herba Mystica]], growing {{pkmn2|giant}} in the process. This individual became known as the [[Titan Pokémon|Quaking Earth Titan]].

==Game data==
[[File:Titan Great Tusk SV.png|thumb|250px|The Quaking Earth Titan in [[Pokémon Scarlet]]]]
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Scarlet]]: Great Tusk, known as the Quaking Earth Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Asado Desert]] to find the [[Sour Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]] and defeated it, forcing it to flee. After both took its Herba Mystica, Great Tusk became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

'''Type: Null''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイプ：ヌル''' ''Type: Null'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Silvally}} when [[Friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]]. It is associated with the [[Ultra Beast]]s.

==Biology==
[[File:Type Null SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Type: Null for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Type: Null is a quadrupedal, chimeric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels. The helmet is extremely heavy and hinders its agility. The helmet has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front with large, round hinges on the side. Each hinge is covered by a green X-shaped marking. The name of the Pokémon, as it wears the helmet, is called Null meaning nothing.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/type-null/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Type: Null] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20181018051747mp_/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/type-null/ archived])</ref> Small gray eyes can be seen from within rectangular black holes on the front, and there are two pointed ears on the top. Around the base is a collar with four protruding vanes that are tipped with a three-way spike. This collar has a thin green line between the vanes, and each vane has a green hexagon near the end. An axe-like blade with a band around the middle extends backward from the top of the helmet. The front tip of the blade has a small, silver spike that hooks downward. A mane of gray fur hangs from below Type: Null's helmet and covers its shoulders and chest. Most of its torso and legs is covered in short black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and on the top of the foot. All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, gray claw on the back of the ankle. Its fishlike tail consists of two dark blue spines with a light blue fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.

{{Spoilers}}
Type: Null was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] as part of the [[beast killer project]]. It was designed to be an "Anti-[[Ultra Beast|UB]] Fighting life-form", a weapon created to fight against the Ultra Beasts. Also known as "'''beast killer'''", Type: Null was developed with cells taken from all known Pokémon [[type]]s. This was done with the intention of giving it the ability to {{a|RKS System|shift between types}} by holding a corresponding [[memory]], an ability originally inspired by the myths researched at [[Canalave Library]]. This ability led the Aether Foundation to name it "Type: Full". Three known models of Type: Full were created, but all three rejected the RKS System and went berserk. [[Faba]] had created limiter helmets for these Pokémon, and after being subdued, the three Type: Full were given the helmets to lessen the effects of the RKS System's rejection and were put into permanent cryogenic stasis. Thus, the beast killer project was deemed a failure, and the creature's name changed to Type: Null. At some point before the events of [[Generation VII]], [[Gladion]] was able to free one of the Type: Null, which he adopted as his own in the hopes of finding a way to undo the effects of the limiter helmet and allow it to use the RKS System. Gladion would eventually rediscover its Evolution, Type: Full, renaming it as {{p|Silvally}}. When Type: Null evolves into Silvally, it breaks the helmet it wears in the process. Prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], a new Type: Null is created in the [[Galar]] region, apparently by [[Macro Cosmos]] by utilizing research notes stolen from [[Alola]]. As seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and [[Pokémon Adventures]], befitting its status as an anti-Ultra Beast Pokémon, Type: Null can sense their appearance and the opening of [[Ultra Wormhole]]s.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Type: Null (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Type: Null is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{wp|Colon (punctuation)|colon}} in its English name.
* Type: Null is the first Pokémon whose [[List of Spanish Pokémon names|Spanish]], [[List of Italian Pokémon names|Italian]], and [[List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon names|Brazilian Portuguese]] names differ from its English name. Its name also differs in other languages, such as {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}}.
**It is also the only Pokémon that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]] whose Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, [[List of Turkish Pokémon names|Turkish]], and [[List of Russian Pokémon names|Russian]] names are different to its English name.
* Type: Null's [[Stat#Speed|Speed stat]] is the only one of its stats to not be 95. Instead, it is the reverse, at 59.
** Upon evolving, its Speed is reversed to match the other stats — this is the only change in its stat distribution.
* Type: Null shares several similarities with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Both were created by humans using science, were based on [[Mythical Pokémon]], were intended to be stronger than other Pokémon, and went berserk, causing a large amount of damage.
* Type: Null is the first Legendary Pokémon to be given as a {{pkmn2|gift}} by an NPC.
* Type: Null, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} were the first instances of [[Legendary Pokémon]] able to [[evolve]], with all three debuting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

===Origin===
Type: Null appears to be based on a {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimera}}. Its history and patchwork design may also be a reference to {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}}, and its collar may reference the ring encircling {{p|Arceus}}.

====Name origin====
Type: Null is literally ''[[type]]'' and ''null'' (nothing).

Type: Full is literally ''type'' and ''full'' (everything).

Localization

2026-03-08T23:06:17Z

TurtwigFan4848: /* Pokémon */

{{fan speculation}}
'''Localization''' refers to the translation and regional differences between languages. This includes localization of the [[Pokémon games]], {{pkmn|animation}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==Pokémon==
The [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]]' names were introduced in Japanese. Most Pokémon had their names changed in English, French, German, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Thai. The English names are used in Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese for all Pokémon except [[Type: Null]] and the [[Paradox Pokémon]] (aside from [[Koraidon]] and [[Miraidon]]). Several other languages also use English Pokémon names in their {{pkmn|animated series}} dubs.
* [[List of Japanese Pokémon names]]
* [[List of French Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Spanish Pokémon names]]
* [[List of German Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Italian Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Hindi Pokémon names]]
* [[List of Thai Pokémon names]]

===Types===
The names of some Pokémon [[type]]s changed between languages. These are some of the more significant changes:
* {{t|Psychic}} is エスパー ''{{wp|Extrasensory perception|Esper}}'' in Japanese.
* {{t|Dark}} is あく ''Evil'' in Japanese.
* {{t|Fire}} is ほのお ''Flame'' in Japanese.

===Categories===
Some [[Pokémon category|Pokémon categories]] changed between languages. These are some of the more significant changes:
* {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Kabutops}} (Japanese category: こうらポケモン ''Shell Pokémon''; English category: Shellfish Pokémon)
* {{p|Meowth}} (Japanese category: ばけねこポケモン ''{{wp|Bakeneko}} Pokémon''; English category: Scratch Cat Pokémon)
* {{p|Persian}} (Japanese category: シャムネコポケモン ''{{wp|Siamese cat|Siamese Cat}} Pokémon''; English category: Classy Cat Pokémon)
* {{p|Kangaskhan}} (Japanese category: おやこポケモン ''Parent and Child Pokémon''; English category: Parent Pokémon)
** The Japanese category refers to both parent and child, but the child is not mentioned in the English translation, most likely because of character limits.
* The Japanese word ねずみ generally can be equally translated as "mouse" or "rat". In Pokémon categories, this is usually translated as "mouse":
** {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} (Japanese category: ねずみポケモン; English category initially was "Rat Pokémon", but then changed to "Mouse Pokémon" in Generation III)
** {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} (Japanese category: ねずみポケモン; English category: "Mouse Pokémon")
** {{p|Cyndaquil}} (Japanese category: ひねずみポケモン; English category: Fire Mouse Pokémon)
** {{p|Pichu}} (Japanese category: こねずみポケモン; English category: Tiny Mouse Pokémon)
** {{p|Marill}} (Japanese category: みずねずみポケモン; English category: Aqua Mouse Pokémon)
** {{p|Bidoof}} (Japanese category: まるねずみポケモン; English category: Plump Mouse Pokémon)

===Forms===
The names of some Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] changed between languages.
* [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] are ダイマックス ''Daimax'' and キョダイマックス ''Kyodaimax'' in Japanese, respectively.
* {{p|Furfrou}}'s trims use the word "Trim" in English but カット ''Cut'' in Japanese (however, these words don't apply to Furfrou's default state, the Natural Form):
** Natural Form (Japanese: やせいのすがた ''Wild Form'')
*** The Japanese word やせい ''Wild'' also refers to [[wild Pokémon]].
** Debutante Trim (Japanese: レディカット ''Lady Cut'')
** Dandy Trim (Japanese: ジェントルカット ''Gentleman Cut'')
** Matron Trim (Japanese: マダムカット ''Madame Cut'')
** La Reine Trim (Japanese: クイーンカット ''Queen Cut'')
*** This trim uses an English name in the Japanese games, but a French name in the English games.
** Pharaoh Trim (Japanese: キングダムカット ''Kingdom Cut'')

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in other languages}}
* Some Pokémon games have multiple suggested names for the [[player character]] and/or [[rival]]. These names are often different on each language version. For instance, a character may have different optional names in Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Korean.
** In the [[core series]], this applies to the player characters {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|Lyra}}, {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Lucas}}, and {{ga|Dawn}}, and the rivals {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Barry}}.

==Locations==
{{main|List of locations in other languages}}
* [[Miracle Cycle]] is not named in any of the localized versions besides the French one, where it is known as "Cycles à Gogo". In all other localized versions, it is simply named Bike Shop.

==Moves==
{{main|List of moves in other languages}}

===Moves introduced in Generation I===
* {{m|Acid Armor}} (Japanese: とける ''Liquefy''). The Japanese name indicates that the user itself is melting. This is lost in the English translation, but is referenced in the move descriptions from [[Generation II]] onwards.
** The Japanese name does not include the words "Acid" or "Armor" in any way. "Acid" may have been added in the localization because this is a {{type|Poison}} move, even though several non-Poison Pokémon are able to learn it. "Armor" may have been added in the localization because this move raises the user's Defense.
* {{m|Cut}} (Japanese: いあいぎり ''{{wp|Iaido|Iai}} Cut''). The Japanese name refers to ''{{wp|iaido}}'', a {{wp|Japanese martial arts|Japanese martial art}}. Specifically, it refers to the technique of drawing a blade from its {{wp|scabbard}}, cutting down the opponent, then re-sheathing the blade.
* {{m|Guillotine}} (Japanese: ハサミギロチン ''Pincer Guillotine''). Several Pokémon that use this move have pincers, such as {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Gliscor}}.
* {{m|Lovely Kiss}} (Japanese: あくまのキッス ''Demon's Kiss''). In some games, a small demon appears in the move animation. This is related to [[Generation II]] move {{m|Sweet Kiss}} (Japanese: てんしのキッス ''Angel's Kiss'').
* {{m|Metronome}} (Japanese: ゆびをふる ''Wag Finger''). The Japanese name refers to the wagging finger associated with the move, implying the user is randomly deciding a move from a list. The move's English name refers to the regular ticks associated with the move, which sound like the device it is named after.
* {{m|Mirror Move}} (Japanese: オウムがえし ''Parrot Mimicry''). The reference to a parrot (a real-life bird) may be related to the fact that several Pokémon that can learn this move are {{t|Flying|birds}}, such as {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Chatot}}. However, this is lost in the English translation.
* {{m|Pay Day}} (Japanese: ネコにこばん ''Coin for a Cat''). The Japanese name of the move is an {{wp|idiom}} equivalent to "to cast {{wp|pearls before swine}}." The coins depicted in the move's animation are {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}}, {{wp|gold coin}}s used in the {{wp|Edo period}} of {{wp|History of Japan#Medieval Japan (1185–1573/1600)|feudal Japan}}, the same type of coin as the one on {{p|Meowth}}'s head.
* {{m|Rest}} (Japanese: ねむる ''Sleep'').
* {{m|Swift}} (Japanese: スピードスター ''Speed Star''). The move's animation includes stars being thrown at the target.
* {{m|Tail Whip}} (Japanese: しっぽをふる ''Tail Wag''). The move's description mentions that the user "wags its tail cutely, making opposing Pokémon less wary".
** The English name "Tail Whip" may incorrectly imply that the user strikes the foe with its tail like a whip, which is not the case in the games. However, in the manga [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Tail Whip user sometimes actually strikes its opponent with the tail, which may be consistent with the English name.
* {{m|Thunderbolt}} (Japanese: １０まんボルト ''100,000 Volts''). The number "100,000 volts" is mentioned in the Japanese name, but this is lost in the English translation.
* {{m|Waterfall}} (Japanese: たきのぼり ''Waterfall Climb''). The English name is simply the word "Waterfall", without mentioning the act of climbing waterfalls. Some move descriptions in the games further clarify that the user is actually charging with enough force to climb waterfalls.
** When this move debuted in Generation I, the moves didn't have in-game descriptions in the [[core series]] yet. As a result, in the English version of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games, there is no indication that this move is related to climbing waterfalls.
** The description about "charging with enough force to climb waterfalls" debuted in the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} (which was not released in English). This is also mentioned in the later games [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], not only in Japanese but in English as well.
** In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Japanese move description also mentions "charging with enough force to climb waterfalls". However, the English version was shortened to simply "An aquatic charge attack." The only reference to climbing waterfalls in the English text is when [[Clair]] says only once after being defeated: "<sc>RisingBadge</sc> will enable your {{ScPkmn}} to use the move for climbing {{m|waterfall}}s." From [[Generation III]] onwards, the English move description is closer to the Japanese version, indicating that the user is charging with enough force to climb waterfalls.
** In several games, a waterfall appears when this move is used in-battle. This may incorrectly suggest that the user is summoning a waterfall, which would be inconsistent with the move description.

===Moves introduced in Generation II===
* {{m|False Swipe}} (Japanese: みねうち ''{{jwp|峰打ち|Strike with the Back of the Sword}}''). False Swipe's Japanese name is a reference to katanas, which are designed to have a single cutting edge on one side, while the other side is mostly flat. Thus, striking the opponent with the flat side of the katana would not be fatal.
* {{m|Rain Dance}} (Japanese: あまごい ''Rain Prayer''). This is the amagoi, a Shinto prayer and rituals for rain.
** The Japanese name of this move is unrelated to dancing, therefore this is not a [[:Category:Dance moves|dance move]]. As such, Rain Dance is unaffected by {{a|Dancer}}, and [[Tierno]] does not request to see a Pokémon with this move in {{g|X and Y}}. In several animated series and manga depictions, the user is not seen dancing at all.
* {{m|Sweet Kiss}} (Japanese: てんしのキッス ''Angel's Kiss''). In some games, a small angel appears in the move animation. This is related to [[Generation I]] move {{m|Lovely Kiss}} (Japanese: あくまのキッス ''Demon's Kiss'').

===Moves introduced in Generation III===
* {{m|Aerial Ace}} (Japanese: つばめがえし ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō#Swallow cut|Swallow Return}}''). The Japanese name references {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'s "{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō#Swallow Cut|Turning Swallow Cut}}" sword technique, so named due to its resemblance to the motion of a swallow's tail in flight. The cut is usually construed as a quick upward slash followed by a second one down the same direction, same as the move's animation. As such, it is learned by many Pokémon that are not {{type|Flying}}.
* {{m|Assist}} (Japanese: ねこのて ''Cat's Paw''). The Japanese name is likely a reference to the saying 猫の手も借りたい ''neko no te mo karitai'', which translates to "I would even like to borrow a cat's hands" ("I would even like a cat to assist me"), which means "I need all the help I can get". This is reflected by the way the move works, and that many feline Pokémon are capable of learning it. In some games, a cat's paw appears in the move animation.

===Moves introduced in Generation IV===
* {{m|Sucker Punch}} (Japanese: ふいうち ''Surprise Attack''). The Japanese name is unrelated to punching. This move can be learned by some Pokémon without arms, such as {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Gastly}}, and {{p|Electrode}}. It is also unaffected by the Ability {{a|Iron Fist}}, which raises the power of [[:Category:Punching moves|punching moves]].

===Moves introduced in Generation VI===
* {{m|Nuzzle}} (Japanese: ほっぺすりすり ''Cheek Rub''). Most [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Electric_rodents|electric rodent]] Pokémon, who have electric cheeks, can learn this move.
*{{m|Oblivion Wing}} (Japanese: デスウイング ''Death Wing''). Most likely changed to remove explicit references to death.

===Moves introduced in Generation VII===
*{{m|Baneful Bunker}} (Japanese: トーチカ ''Pillbox''). The Japanese name is a {{wp|Pillbox (military)|military term}} referring to a guarded fort.
*{{m|Smart Strike}} (Japanese: スマートホーン ''Smart Horn''). Most Pokémon that learn this move have horns.
*{{m|Double Iron Bash}} (Japanese: ダブルパンツァー ''Double {{wp|Panzer}}''). Panzer is a German word that means "armor", often used in other languages as a loanword in the context of the German military.

===Moves introduced in Generation VIII===
* {{m|No Retreat}} (Japanese: はいすいのじん ''Last Stand''). The Japanese name of this move literally means "to fight with one's back to the river," an idiom for a desperate last stand. The idiom originated from the historical Battle of Jingxing, where the now-renowned Chinese general Han Xin ordered his army to fight with a river at their backs and no way to cross, successfully routing an enemy ten times their number. The move's animation is a reference to this.
* {{m|Octolock}} (Japanese: たこがため ''Octopus Hold''). The Japanese name refers to a {{wp|Professional wrestling holds#Octopus hold|wrestling hold}} of the same name.

==Abilities==
{{main|List of Abilities in other languages}}

===Abilities introduced in Generation III===
* {{a|Battle Armor}} (Japanese: カブトアーマー ''Kabuto Armor''). The Japanese name of this ability refers to {{wp|Kabuto}} helmets.
* {{a|Shield Dust}} (Japanese: りんぷん ''Scales''). The Japanese name of this ability refers to {{wp|Scale (Insect_anatomy)|insect scales}}.
* {{a|Serene Grace}} (Japanese: てんのめぐみ ''Heavenly Blessing''). Most likely changed to avoid references to {{wp|heaven}}.
* {{a|Arena Trap}} (Japanese: ありじごく ''Antlion''). The Japanese name refers to the burrowing habits of {{wp|Antlion}}s, used to trap prey.

===Abilities introduced in Generation IV===
* {{a|Aftermath}} (Japanese: ゆうばく ''Induced Explosion''). Most Pokémon with this ability can also learn self-destructive moves like {{m|Explosion}}, and the ability is similarly prevented by {{a|Damp}}.
* {{a|Forewarn}} (Japanese: よちむ ''Prophetic Dream''). All Pokémon with this ability are {{type|Psychic}}.
* {{a|Storm Drain}} (Japanese: よびみず ''Pump Priming''). The Japanese name is a plumbing term that refers to the introduction of fluid into a pump to prepare it for operation.

===Abilities introduced in Generation V===
* {{a|Big Pecks}} (Japanese: はとむね ''Pigeon Breast''). The Japanese name, ''Hatomune'', is a pun, as it can also be taken to mean "a proud heart". The name "Big Pecks" itself is also a pun, referring to both pecking with a beak and the {{wp|pectoralis major}}.
* {{a|Zen Mode}} (Japanese: ダルマモード ''Daruma Mode''). The Japanese name refers to {{p|Darmanitan}}'s basis on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}.

===Abilities introduced in Generation VI===
* {{a|Primordial Sea}} and {{a|Desolate Land}}'s Japanese names match; (Japanese: はじまりのうみ ''Sea of the Beginning'') and (Japanese: おわりのだいち ''Land of the End'') respectively.

===Abilities introduced in Generation VIII===
* {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} (Japanese: ごりむちゅう ''Obsessed Gorilla''). The Japanese name of this Ability is a pun, combining 五里霧中 ''gorimuchū'' (a saying meaning lost in a fog) with ゴリラ ''gorira'' (gorilla) and 夢中 ''muchū'' (obsessed). The English name is a play on ''guerilla tactics''.

==Items==
{{main|List of items in other languages}}

===Items introduced in Generation I===
* Three [[Poké Ball]]s introduced in Generation I had their names changed in the English localization. Only the Master Ball kept its Japanese name.
** {{i|Poké Ball}} (Japanese: モンスターボール ''Monster Ball'')
** [[Great Ball]] (Japanese: スーパーボール ''Super Ball'')
** [[Ultra Ball]] (Japanese: ハイパーボール ''Hyper Ball'')
*** The Ultra Ball retains a letter H on its design, referencing its Japanese name.
* The [[Potion]] and its improved variants introduced in Generation I use the Japanese word ぐすり ''Medicine'', which does not specify the type of medicine. The word "Potion" would indicate a form of liquid substance; it was introduced in the English translation. With the introduction of item sprites in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, these items are depicted in-game as bottles designed to spray liquid substances, which may be compatible with both the Japanese and English names. Some of these items have also been depicted in official art and {{pkmn|Trading Card Game|TCG}} cards as spray bottles since [[Generation I]] as well, including the {{OBP|Potion|Base Set 94}} and {{OBP|Super Potion|Base Set 90}} cards.
** Potion (Japanese: キズぐすり ''Wound Medicine'')
** Super Potion (Japanese: いいキズぐすり ''Good Wound Medicine'')
** Hyper Potion (Japanese: すごいキズぐすり ''Amazing Wound Medicine'')
** Max Potion (Japanese: まんたんのくすり ''Tank-Filling Medicine'')
** Full Restore (Japanese: かいふくのくすり ''Recovery Medicine'')
* The [[drink]]s introduced in Generation I had their names changed in the localization:
** [[Fresh Water]] (Japanese: おいしいみず ''Delicious Water'')
*** Fresh Water is collected from [[Mt. Silver]], according to the Japanese item description in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], and {{pkmn|Stadium}}. This is also mentioned in the Korean item description from Pokémon Gold and Silver. The reference to Mt. Silver is not found in the English item description.
** [[Soda Pop]] (Japanese: サイコソーダ ''Psycho Soda'')
** [[Lemonade]] (Japanese: ミックスオレ ''Mix au Lait'')
*** The [[Lemonade]]'s Japanese name means "Mix au Lait" instead, meaning a mixture with milk. It's implied in several places that this is {{wp|flavored milk}} rather than Lemonade.
* The [[Ether]], [[Elixir]], and their improved versions have Japanese names unrelated to their English names. The Japanese names all include the word "PP" (specifically in the form of katakana "ピーピー"), and don't involve the words "Ether" or "Elixir" in any way.
** [[Ether]] (Japanese: ピーピーエイド ''PP Aid'')
** [[Max Ether]] (Japanese: ピーピーリカバー ''PP Recover'')
** [[Elixir]] (Japanese: ピーピーエイダー ''PP Aider'')
** [[Max Elixir]] (Japanese: ピーピーマックス ''PP Max'')
* The [[Repel]]'s Japanese name refers refers to insect repellents; it includes the term むし ''Insect''. The Repel and its improved variants include the word スプレ ''Spray'' in Japanese, indicating their design; however, this word is absent in the English names. Additionally, むしよけ ''Repellent'' is not found in the Japanese names of Super Repel and Max Repel. The [[Super Repel]] and [[Max Repel]] are ranked as "Silver" and "Gold" in Japanese; these words were replaced by "Super" and "Max" in English.
** [[Repel]] (Japanese: むしよけスプレー ''Repellent Spray'')
** [[Super Repel]] (Japanese: シルバースプレー ''Silver Spray'')
** [[Max Repel]] (Japanese: ゴールドスプレー ''Gold Spray'')
* [[Poké Doll]] (Japanese: ピッピにんぎょう ''{{p|Clefairy|Pippi}} Doll'') The Japanese name indicates that it's a {{p|Clefairy}} doll. However, the English item name does not mention Clefairy.
** The species of Poké Doll has always been clear in the Japanese games since its introduction in Generation I. However, it was only revealed years later in English games, once the Clefairy doll sprite debuted in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
*[[Vitamin]]s all have different names in Japanese. Most reference specific compounds:
** [[Protein]] (Japanese: タウリン ''{{wp|Taurine}}'')
** [[Iron]] (Japanese: ブロムヘキシン ''{{wp|Bromhexine}}'')
** [[Calcium]] (Japanese: リゾチウム ''{{wp|Lysozyme}}'')
** [[Zinc]] (Japanese: キトサン ''{{wp|Chitosan}}'')
** [[Carbos]] (Japanese: インドメタシン ''{{wp|Indometacin}}'')
* [[Nugget]] (Japanese: きんのたま ''Gold Orb''). The Japanese name for literally means "golden ball", which is also a slang term for testicles.

===Items introduced in Generation II===
* [[Secret Medicine]] (Japanese: ひでんのくすり ''Secret Medicine''). This item is a pouch of pills. Prior to [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], it was known as Secret Potion, like the spray-type medicines, despite not being a liquid medicine.
** Much like the [[Potion]] and its improved variants introduced in [[Generation I]], the Secret Potion includes the Japanese word くすり ''Medicine'' (which does not indicate exactly what kind of medicine), but was converted to the word "Potion" (which would indicate a form of liquid substance). When the Secret Potion debuted in [[Generation II]], items did not have in-game sprites, so its appearance had not been established yet. Secret Potion's depiction as a pouch of pills was introduced years later as the item sprite in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, but its English name remained until [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
** However, in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Secret Medicine is depicted as a bottle of medicine, which is consistent with both the Japanese and English names. This predates the introduction of the pouch of pills sprite.
* [[Rage Candy Bar]] (Japanese: いかりまんじゅう ''Rage Manjū''). {{wp|Manjū}} is a Japanese sweet made with red bean paste.
* The [[Slowpoke Tail]]'s Japanese name (Japanese: おいしいシッポ ''Tasty Tail'') does not specify it as {{p|Slowpoke}}, though dialogue and graphics still refer to it as such.
* The [[Amulet Coin]] (Japanese: おまもりこばん ''Amulet Koban'') is originally a {{wp|Koban (coin)|Koban}}, a type of gold coin from the Edo period.
* [[Cleanse Tag]] (Japanese: きよめのおふだ ''Purification Ofuda'') and Spell Tag (Japanese: のろいのおふだ ''Cursed Ofuda''). An {{wp|ofuda}} is a type of traditional Japanese talisman.
* [[Focus Band]] (Japanese: きあいのハチマキ ''Fighting Spirit Headband''). The Japanese name refers to a {{wp|Kiai}}, a short shout uttered when performing an attacking move in Japanese martial arts.
* [[Leek]] (Japanese: ながねぎ ''Scallion''). {{wp|Scallion}}s are a close relative of the leek, but they aren't the same species.
* [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]] are single feathers in Japanese, but their English names changed to wings instead, presumably because item names were limited to 12 characters at the time. In particular, there is no indication in the English [[Generation II]] games that these items were originally supposed to be feathers, because these games don't have item sprites. Their item sprites (depicting them as single feathers) debuted in the [[Generation IV]] remakes, but their names remained as before, with the word "Wing". While the limit was raised to 16 characters in [[Generation VI]], those names remained unchanged until [[Generation IX]], replacing "Wing" with "Feather", even though these items cannot be obtained.
** [[Rainbow Wing]] (Japanese: {{tt|虹色の羽根|にじいろのはね}} ''Rainbow Feather'')
** [[Silver Wing]] (Japanese: ぎんいろのはね ''Silver Feather'')

===Items introduced in Generation III===
* The five [[contest condition|condition]]-related [[Scarf|Scarves]] are Bandannas in Japanese. The English name "Scarf" implies they are worn around the neck, but the Japanese name "Bandanna" implies they are worn at the top of the head.
* [[Fluffy Tail]] (Japanese: エネコのシッポ ''{{p|Skitty|Eneco}}'s Tail''). The Japanese name indicates that it's a {{p|Skitty}}'s tail. However, the English item name does not mention Skitty.
** In particular, the species of Fluffy Tail is not revealed in the English version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, because this game doesn't have item sprites. The item sprite depicting a Skitty's tail debuted in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (however, this item is unavailable in this game outside of trades).
* [[Lava Cookie]] (Japanese: フエンせんべい ''{{tt|Huen|Lavaridge}} Rice Cracker''). The Lava Cookie's sprite appears to be a {{wp|Senbei}}, a type of rice cracker.
* [[Acro Bike]] (Japanese: ダートじてんしゃ ''Dirt Bike'').

===Items introduced in Generation IV===
* The three [[Evolution stone]]s introduced in this generation have different names in English and Japanese, although their meanings are related to some extent.
** [[Shiny Stone]] (Japanese: ひかりのいし ''Light Stone'')
** [[Dusk Stone]] (Japanese: やみのいし ''Darkness Stone'')
** [[Dawn Stone]] (Japanese: めざめいし ''Awakening Stone'')
* [[Old Gateau]] (Japanese: もりのヨウカン ''Forest Yōkan''). Much like the English localized pun on the [[Old Chateau]], it is a pun on the location it is found in. In Japanese, the Chateau's name is "Forest Manor" (Japanese: もりのようかん) while the Gateau's name is "Forest {{wp|Yōkan}}" (Japanese: もりのヨウカン); the two terms are homophones and are pronounced as ''mori no yōkan''.
* Like the Focus Band, the [[Focus Sash]]'s (Japanese: きあいのタスキ ''Fighting Spirit Sash'') Japanese name refers to a Kiai.
* [[Lunar Feather]] (Japanese: みかづきのはね ''Crescent Moon Feather''). Much like the [[Generation II]] items [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]], this item is a single feather in Japanese, but is named "Wing" in English from [[Generation IV]] to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Additionally, the Japanese name is exactly about the crescent moon, while the English name simply references the moon. It was renamed to Lunar Feather in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], more closely reflecting its Japanese name.

===Items introduced in Generation V===
* [[Float Stone]] (Japanese: かるいし Pumice Stone). {{wp|Pumice}} is a type of volcanic rock known for being light and porous.
* All [[Feather]] items are a single feather in Japanese, but are named "Wing" from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VII|VII]]. They were renamed to Feathers in [[Generation VIII]], which is closer to the Japanese name. This is similar to some earlier Japanese feathers that were converted to wings in the English translation: the [[Generation II]] items [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]], and the [[Generation IV]] item [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]].

===Items introduced in Generation VII===
* The [[Bottle Cap]]'s Japanese name includes the fact that it's silver. This is similar to the [[Gold Bottle Cap]], which kept the reference to gold in English.
** [[Bottle Cap]] (Japanese: ぎんのおうかん ''Silver Bottle Cap'')
** [[Gold Bottle Cap]] (Japanese: きんのおうかん ''Gold Bottle Cap'')
* [[Beast Ball]] (Japanese: ウルトラボール ''Ultra Ball''). Both the Japanese and English names reference the fact that it was developed to catch [[Ultra Beast]]s. Its name changed in the English localization because the Japanese name was already taken by another Poké Ball variant introduced in [[Generation I]], the [[Ultra Ball]].
* The [[Lure]]'s Japanese name is similar to repel, but むしよけ ''Repellent'' is replaced by むしよせ ''Attractant''; both terms involve むし ''Insect''. The Lure and its improved variants include the word コロン ''Cologne'' in Japanese, indicating their design; however, this word is absent in the English names, being replaced by "Lure". Additionally, むしよせ ''Attractant'' is not found in the Japanese names of Super Lure and Max Lure. Much like the Repel variants, the [[Super Lure]] and [[Max Lure]] are ranked as "Silver" and "Gold" in Japanese; these words were replaced by "Super" and "Max" in English.
** [[Lure]] (Japanese: むしよせコロン ''Attractant Cologne'')
** [[Super Lure]] (Japanese: シルバーコロン ''Silver Cologne'')
** [[Max Lure]] (Japanese: ゴールドコロン ''Gold Cologne'')
* [[Pewter Crunchies]] (Japanese: ニビあられ ''{{tt|Nibi|Pewter}} Arare''). {{wp|Arare (food)|Arare}} is a type of Japanese rice cracker.
* [[Surge Badge]] (Japanese: だいだいバッジ ''Orange Badge''). Japanese name has the same meaning as that of the [[Thunder Badge]], but uses a different word for "orange".

===Items introduced in Generation VIII===
* All the seven [[Sweet]]s that cause {{p|Milcery}} to evolve into {{p|Alcremie}} are {{wp|amezaiku}} (a form of Japanese candy craft artistry) according to their Japanese names.
** The [[Love Sweet]]'s name is changed further (Japanese: ハートアメざいく ''Heart Amezaiku'') The word "Heart" is a more literal description of its shape, while "Love" is an abstract concept.

==Badges==
* In the Japanese version, the Kanto [[Badge]]s are named after colors. In the English version, most Kanto Badges were renamed. For instance, "グレーバッジ" (Gray Badge) was translated as "Boulder Badge". The only Kanto Badge that kept its Japanese name in the English Localization (only written with English letters instead of Japanese katakana) was [[Erika]]'s Rainbow Badge.

==In the games==
* In all [[core series]] games, the player writes a report (Japanese: レポート ''report'') when saving the game. This "report" option is found at the Japanese version [[main menu]]. The references to writing a report were simply translated as saving the game.
* The units of measurement used for the Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] and [[weight]] (as seen in the [[Pokédex]]) depend on the game language.
** Japanese games: height in meters, weight in kilograms
** American games: height in feet and inches, weight in pounds
* In the [[core series]], from [[Generation II]] onwards (as well as all games in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] since [[Generation I]]), the [[Pokédex]] is able to sort Pokémon by their {{wp|katakana}} name in the Japanese version, or alphabetically in the localized versions.

==In animation==
* In the Japanese version of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', {{an|Misty}} often introduces herself as "the world's most beautiful girl" (Japanese: 世界の美少女). It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

|}'''Canari''' (Japanese: '''カナリィ''' ''Canary'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a gamer and streamer from [[Lumiose City]] and is the leader of her fan club [[DYN4MO]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Eelektross}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Canari is a young woman with tan complexion and a slim build. She has short shoulder-length hair that she ties into lightning-shaped twin tails using hair ties shaped like {{p|Eelektrik}}'s mouth. Her natural hair color is a slightly greenish yellow; the right half of her hair is dyed teal, and the tip of her left twin tail is dyed black.

Canari wears a yellow crop-top jacket over a yellow zipper tube top with black straps; she wears her [[Key Stone]] within the zipper. She also wears baggy two-tone teal-and-black trousers, large white platform sneakers from [[In the Zone]], and a black and yellow cloth face mask. She stores her [[Rotom Phone]] on a case strapped to her left hip, and she also carries a white {{p|Tynamo}}-patterned pouch behind her. She polishes her ring and little finger nails in teal, and the rest of her finger nails in yellow.

=== Personality ===
[[File:Canari gamer rage.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Canari's gamer rage]]
A gamer at heart, Canari enjoys gaming more than almost anything else and is particularly talented at falling-block puzzle games. Due to her fixation on gaming, she doesn't focus as much on promoting herself or growing her fanbase. Her grandfather, [[Tarragon]], is the one responsible for promoting her streams by managing her fan club and handling in-person events by pretending to be her. Canari also doesn't really focus on Pokémon battles and rarely talks about Pokémon battles on her streams, although she admits she doesn't hate battling either.

Short-tempered, Canari can get frustrated easily. After losing to the player in the [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match, she swears and momentarily throws a fit before she cools down. She also comes off as rather rude to her own grandfather, yelling at him for losing to the player. Tarragon spoiling her doesn't help matters, either.

Unlike her partner Pokémon {{p|Eelektross}} and its love of [[Lumiose Galette]]s, Canari doesn't enjoy sweets. She has a close friendship with [[Gwynn]], whom she calls "'''G-Volt'''" (Japanese: '''ムクちゃん''' ''Muku-chan'').

=== History ===

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Canari is a streamer and gamer popular throughout [[Lumiose City]] and the rest of the [[Kalos]] region, with [[Naveen]] and [[Gwynn]] being some of her more notable fans. The {{player}} has a glimpse of her while using their [[Rotom Phone]] on the train during the introductory cutscene of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. [[Tarragon]] mentions Canari by name to the player for the first time during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 5: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower", and gifts them a [[Red Canari Plush]] while also promoting his scaffolding obstacle courses.

Canari serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank E. Naveen, a well-versed Canatic, is conflicted in helping the player find and battle her, although he later concedes and helps the player infiltrate the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest at the [[Electrical Substation]]. Throughout the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest, the player learns various aspects of her. Her {{p|Eelektross}} loves a crunchy, overbaked variety of [[Lumiose Galette]] known as [[Super Lumiose Galette]], developing a taste for it after eating it to heal a [[Burn (status condition)|burn]]. Canari also played her first games on a laptop owned by Tarragon; Naveen implies a rather tragic story behind this, but it isn't clarified further.

With Naveen's assistance, the player aces the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest and is able to request Canari for a promotion match. After defeating both Tarragon and her, Canari gets upset and blames her grandfather for losing first, but quickly cheers up after Tarragon promises to buy her anything as an apology. She gives [[TM066]] ({{m|Volt Switch}}) to the player after defeating her, along with an [[Autographed Plush]] to be given to Naveen as thanks for helping the player. She also declares that she'll put more effort into Pokémon battling from that point on.

Later, the player battles Canari again in order to get information on Gwynn, who has gone missing. Canari also appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the first round.

During the game's final act, Canari joins the player in a Multi Battle against [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Pokémon while Tarragon and his employees work together to build a path to reach [[Zygarde (Pokémon)|Zygarde]]. In the credits, Canari is seen during the Lumiose City cleanup effort with the other citizens, helping out by providing entertainment after a moment of major distress.

===Pokémon===
Canari keeps her Pokémon in [[Quick Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Eelektross}} at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CanariAscendedHeroes257.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Canari in the TCG]]
{{main|Canari (Ascended Heroes 185)}}
'''Canari''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. This card, which can only be used if the player discards another card from their hand, allows the player to search their deck for up to 4 {{e|Lightning}} ({{ct|Lightning}}) Pokémon cards and put them into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Canari is similar to [[Iono]], as both of them [[Type specialist|specialize]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are popular streamers.
* Canari is the first major character in a core series game to use profanity, albeit with it censored.

'''Taunie''' (Japanese: '''タウニー''' ''Townie'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. She is the female counterpart to [[Urbain]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Paxton}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Taunie likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although she may come on strong at times. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===
Taunie is a young female with fair skin, royal blue eyes, bisque hair, and a standard build. She wears white shorts with a platinum gray belt along with a crimson sleeveless shirt under a beige jacket with navy blue buttons and top collar. Her footwear features navy blue heavy-duty high-top sneakers with pink laces.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Taunie's jacket is a memento from her late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. She came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for her [[Jett|grandmother]], and at some point [[Emma]] helped her out while she was down on her luck. Taunie met [[AZ]] who allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
Taunie meets the {{Player}} right after they arrive on Lumiose at [[Gare de Lumiose]].

===Pokémon===
====First battle====
Winning this battle is not mandatory, as the story will progress either way.

==Trivia==
* Taunie has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Harmony}}, the female player character in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** The same is also true for her male counterpart, [[Urbain]], who has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Paxton}}.
* Taunie and Urbain are the first [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters in the core series:
** To use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the {{player}} on their teams, as they owned all three prior to the events of ''Pokémon Legends: Z-A''.
** That the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].
* Taunie, Urbain, [[Korrina]], and [[Emma]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon in a single battle.
* Taunie and Urbain, as well as Korrina, are the only non-player characters that have a [[level]] 100 Pokémon outside of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].
** Furthermore, Taunie and Urbain are the only ones that have a full [[party]] composed solely of level 100 Pokémon. As such, they have the highest leveled Pokémon team in the core series games (excluding {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled in Hyperspace Lumiose).

'''Urbain''' (Japanese: '''ガイ''' ''Gai'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. He is the male counterpart to [[Taunie]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Harmony}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Urbain likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although he may come on strong at times. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left wrist.

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===
Urbain is a young male with fair skin, royal blue eyes, bisque hair, and a standard build. He wears white sweatpants with arrows pointing down printed onto the knees, along with a navy blue t-shirt with white rims, featuring a stylized Poké Ball print on the front. He also dons a beige jacket with navy blue buttons and a top collar. His footwear features pink trainers with blue accents on the sides.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Urbain's jacket is a memento from his late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. He came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for his [[Jett|grandmother]], and at some point [[Emma]] helped him out while he was down on his luck. Urbain met [[AZ]] who allowed him to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
Urbain meets the {{Player}} right after they arrive on Lumiose at [[Gare de Lumiose]].

===Pokémon===
====First battle====
Winning this battle is not mandatory, as the story will progress either way.

==In the TCG==
[[File:UrbainAscendedHeroes214.jpg|200px|thumb|Urbain in the TCG]]
{{main|Urbain (Ascended Heroes 214)}}
'''Urbain''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Start Deck 100 Battle Collection}} before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Teeziro]]. This card lets the player draw 3 cards from their deck.

==Quotes==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
;Mission 04 - "Battling in the Z-A Royale"
:;[[Hotel Z]], [[Vert Sector 8]], [[Vert District]]
::''"Ready to get out there and officially compete in the Z-A Royale? Steeled yourself?"''
:::'''Ready as I'll be!''': ''"Great! You can do this!"''
:*After the [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|Battle Zone]] becomes available
::''"Here's a Z-A Royale tip: Once night falls, check your map!"''


==Trivia==
* Urbain has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Paxton}}, the male player character in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** The same is also true for his female counterpart, [[Taunie]], who has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Harmony}}.
* Urbain and Taunie are the first [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters in the core series:
** To use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the {{player}} on their teams, as they owned all three prior to the events of ''Pokémon Legends: Z-A''.
** That the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].
* Urbain, Taunie, [[Korrina]], and [[Emma]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon in a single battle.
* Urbain and Taunie, as well as Korrina, are the only non-player characters that have a [[level]] 100 Pokémon outside of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].
** Furthermore, Urbain and Taunie are the only ones that have a full [[party]] composed solely of level 100 Pokémon. As such, they have the highest leveled Pokémon team in the core series games (excluding {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled in Hyperspace Lumiose).

'''Taunie''' (Japanese: '''タウニー''' ''Townie'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. She is the female counterpart to [[Urbain]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Paxton}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Taunie likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although she may come on strong at times. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===
Taunie is a young female with fair skin, royal blue eyes, bisque hair, and a standard build. She wears white shorts with a platinum gray belt along with a crimson sleeveless shirt under a beige jacket with navy blue buttons and top collar. Her footwear features navy blue heavy-duty high-top sneakers with pink laces.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Taunie's jacket is a memento from her late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. She came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for her [[Jett|grandmother]], and at some point [[Emma]] helped her out while she was down on her luck. Taunie met [[AZ]] who allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
Taunie meets the {{Player}} right after they arrive on Lumiose at [[Gare de Lumiose]].

===Pokémon===
====First battle====
Winning this battle is not mandatory, as the story will progress either way.

==Trivia==
* Taunie has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Harmony}}, the female player character in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** The same is also true for her male counterpart, [[Urbain]], who has the same hairstyle as {{ga|Paxton}}.
* Taunie and Urbain are the first [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters in the core series:
** To use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the {{player}} on their teams, as they owned all three prior to the events of ''Pokémon Legends: Z-A''
** That the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].
* Taunie, Urbain, [[Korrina]], and [[Emma]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon in a single battle.
* Taunie and Urbain, as well as Korrina, are the only non-player characters that have a [[level]] 100 Pokémon outside of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].
** Furthermore, Taunie and Urbain are the only ones that have a full [[party]] composed solely of level 100 Pokémon. As such, they have the highest leveled Pokémon team in the core series games (excluding {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled in Hyperspace Lumiose).

|}'''Canari''' (Japanese: '''カナリィ''' ''Canary'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a gamer and streamer from [[Lumiose City]] and is the leader of her fan club [[DYN4MO]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Eelektross}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Canari is a young woman with tan complexion and a slim build. She has short shoulder-length hair that she ties into lightning-shaped twin tails using hair ties shaped like {{p|Eelektrik}}'s mouth. Her natural hair color is a slightly greenish yellow; the right half of her hair is dyed teal, and the tip of her left twin tail is dyed black.

Canari wears a yellow crop-top jacket over a yellow zipper tube top with black straps; she wears her [[Key Stone]] within the zipper. She also wears baggy two-tone teal-and-black trousers, large white platform sneakers from [[In the Zone]], and a black and yellow cloth face mask. She stores her [[Rotom Phone]] on a case strapped to her left hip, and she also carries a white {{p|Tynamo}}-patterned pouch behind her. She polishes her ring and little finger nails in teal, and the rest of her finger nails in yellow.

=== Personality ===
[[File:Canari gamer rage.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Canari's gamer rage]]
A gamer at heart, Canari enjoys gaming more than almost anything else and is particularly talented at falling-block puzzle games. Due to her fixation on gaming, she doesn't focus as much on promoting herself or growing her fanbase. Her grandfather, [[Tarragon]], is the one responsible for promoting her streams by managing her fan club and handling in-person events. Canari also doesn't really focus on Pokémon battles and rarely talks about Pokémon battles on her streams, although she admits she doesn't hate battling either.

Short-tempered, Canari can get frustrated easily. After losing to the player in the [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match, she swears and momentarily throws a fit before she cools down. She also comes off as rather rude to her own grandfather, yelling at him for losing to the player. Tarragon spoiling her doesn't help matters, either.

Unlike her partner Pokémon {{p|Eelektross}} and its love of [[Lumiose Galette]]s, Canari doesn't enjoy sweets. She has a close friendship with [[Gwynn]], whom she calls "'''G-Volt'''" (Japanese: '''ムクちゃん''' ''Muku-chan'').

=== History ===

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Canari is a streamer and gamer popular throughout [[Lumiose City]] and the rest of the [[Kalos]] region, with [[Naveen]] and [[Gwynn]] being some of her more notable fans. The {{player}} has a glimpse of her while using their [[Rotom Phone]] on the train during the introductory cutscene of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. [[Tarragon]] mentions Canari by name to the player for the first time during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 5: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower", and gifts them a [[Red Canari Plush]] while also promoting his scaffolding obstacle courses.

Canari serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank E. Naveen, a well-versed Canatic, is conflicted in helping the player find and battle her, although he later concedes and helps the player infiltrate the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest at the [[Electrical Substation]]. Throughout the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest, the player learns various aspects of her. Her {{p|Eelektross}} loves a crunchy, overbaked variety of [[Lumiose Galette]] known as [[Super Lumiose Galette]], developing a taste for it after eating it to heal a [[Burn (status condition)|burn]]. Canari also played her first games on a laptop owned by Tarragon; Naveen implies a rather tragic story behind this, but it isn't clarified further.

With Naveen's assistance, the player aces the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest and is able to request Canari for a promotion match. After defeating both Tarragon and her, Canari gets upset and blames her grandfather for losing first, but quickly cheers up after Tarragon promises to buy her anything as an apology. She gives [[TM066]] ({{m|Volt Switch}}) to the player after defeating her, along with an [[Autographed Plush]] to be given to Naveen as thanks for helping the player. She also declares that she'll put more effort into Pokémon battling from that point on.

Later, the player battles Canari again in order to get information on Gwynn, who has gone missing. Canari also appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the first round.

During the game's final act, Canari joins the player in a Multi Battle against [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Pokémon while Tarragon and his employees work together to build a path to reach {{ga|Zygarde}}. In the credits, Canari is seen during the Lumiose City cleanup effort with the other citizens, helping out by providing entertainment after a moment of major distress.

===Pokémon===
Canari keeps her Pokémon in [[Quick Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Eelektross}} at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CanariMEGADreamex219.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Canari in the TCG]]
{{main|Canari (MEGA Dream ex 170)}}
'''Canari''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[kantaro]] was released in the same set. This card, which can only be used if the player discards another card from their hand, allows the player to search their deck for up to 4 {{e|Lightning}} ({{ct|Lightning}}) Pokémon cards and put them into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Canari is similar to [[Iono]], as both of them [[Type specialist|specialize]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are popular streamers.
* Canari is the first major character in a core series game to use profanity, albeit with it censored.

'''Jacinthe''' (Japanese: '''ユカリ''' ''Yukari'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is the leader of the Lumiose [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] (SBC), an upper-class organization dedicated to Pokémon battling. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Clefable}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Jacinthe is a svelte, elegant woman with very dark complexion and wide, sparkling eyes. Her eyelashes are black, but her eyebrows and hair are a light lilac color. Her hair is very voluminous and reaches down to her thighs, and is parted into two giant, spiraling curls that flank a smaller middle curl on the back.

Jacinthe's attire, described by an NPC as a one-of-a-kind haute couture, is a tight-fitting light purple dress with puffy shoulders, full-length sleeves, and a knee-length skirt. Her sleeves are wider at the wrists, and the whole of her dress is decorated with white lace patterns on the hems of the wrists, around the waist, and on the collar and chest area. A golden flower brooch with an opalescent gem is set on the center of the collar. Jacinthe also wears white gloves with yellow ribbons on the wrists, white fishnet stockings with yellow sequins, and light purple high-heels with six-petaled, fairy-like decors on the vamps. On her left index finger, she has a ring with the SBC logo over her glove. Finally, Jacinthe wears a pillbox-style {{wp|fascinator}} on the left side of her head — it has the same fairy-like decor as her shoes on one side, but more ornately designed, and her [[Key Stone]] is set in the center.

=== Personality ===
As one of [[Lumiose City]]'s upper-class elites, Jacinthe maintains a graceful and polite demeanor to the people around her. However, she also tends to have an inflated ego and no sense of personal boundaries, and often refuses to take no for an answer — when [[Team MZ]] had to leave Jacinthe's tournament early to deal with cases of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s, Jacinthe proclaims that her tournament is equally as important and asks Team MZ to return to her posthaste. Jacinthe does not take well to being slighted or disrespected, and although she never loses her temper even when irritated, she may retaliate severely, such as when she cordons off [[Hotel Z]] inside her own "Jacinthe zone" after [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] dismisses her tournament.

Jacinthe enjoys Pokémon battles and leads the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] with the aim to promote growth, appreciation, and understanding between Trainers and Pokémon through battles. She believes that as an elite socialite, she is responsible to guide the masses and teach fellow Pokémon Trainers to be the strongest they can be. She also does not stand by when [[Lumiose City]] is in danger, as during the [[Ange]] crisis, she helps the player by developing plans to reach [[Zygarde (Pokémon)|Zygarde]], and working behind the scenes with the mayor and other government forces to defend the city. On the other hand, despite Jacinthe's noble ambitions, she also loves to flaunt her status and engage in ridiculous attempts at expanding her social influence and her upper class status, such as attempting to buy [[Prism Tower]] or proclaiming in the post-game that she wishes to rename Lumiose City to "Jacinthe City".

In the English localization of the game, Jacinthe's dialogues incorporates French words such as "bienvenue" (welcome) and "alors" (well then), much like NPC dialogue in [[Pokémon X and Y]], reflecting the fact that Kalos as a whole is based on France.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Prior the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Jacinthe was tutored in Pokémon battles by [[Diantha]] and [[Korrina]] also speculates that Diantha's {{p|Gardevoir}} may inspire Jacinthe's love for {{t|Fairy}} types. 2 years prior to the game, Jacinthe defeated [[Lebanne]] in a battle, and subsequently recruited her as her personal right-hand woman. Lebanne mentioned that Jacinthe had her keep her promise by forcing her to wear her current outfit and act fancy in Jacinthe's presence.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Jacinthe is first mentioned by name during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 20: "A Request from the Rust Syndicate", by the members of her [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] after [[Corbeau]] tasks the player to stop them from giving unwanted lectures to children. Jacinthe is properly introduced after the player reaches Rank C in the [[Z-A Royale]]. Recognizing the many rising stars in the Z-A Royale, Jacinthe personally invites the player, [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Canari]], [[Tarragon]], [[Ivor]], [[Gwynn]], [[Philippe]], and Corbeau to participate in a tournament she created by and for her, which she dubs "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" (Japanese: '''スーパーユカリトーナメント''' ''Super Yukari Tournament''). Before the tournament can begin, however, Urbain/Taunie is informed by [[Vinnie]] of imminent cases of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], causing them and the player to leave the venue early, despite Lebanne's warning.

Jacinthe eventually comes to crash [[Team MZ]]'s Rogue Mega Evolution strategy meeting, insisting that the player and Urbain/Taunie join her tournament and refusing to accept Urbain/Taunie's request to disqualify them, before leaving Team MZ with a warning to not take her lightly. As Team MZ's members battle the Rogue Mega-Evolved {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Altaria}}, and {{p|Venusaur}}, Jacinthe keeps appearing after each battle using a unique pink holographic avatar to remind Team MZ to join her tournament, going as far as threatening to take over [[Hotel Z]] if they take too long. Jacinthe eventually makes good on her threat when she cordons off Hotel Z inside her so-called "Jacinthe zone", using a personal pink holo-tech barrier to surround the hotel perimeter. Jacinthe also sics her SBC fellows and her right-hand woman Lebanne to battle Team MZ in order to coerce them to join the tournament, although Team MZ already states they'll join the tournament anyway, making the threat moot. At the same time, the Z-A Royale app on the player's phone announces that Jacinthe serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank B.

As the player and Urbain/Taunie return to Hotel Richissime, Canari reveals that she and the other guests of the tournament were unable to leave the hotel due to a Jacinthe zone set up inside while Team MZ were fighting the Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Nevertheless, now that all the participants are present, Jacinthe proclaims her Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe open, and puts herself as the top seed for the grand finals. The tournament commences as planned, although not without a surprise interruption from Zygarde and [[Lysandre|L]], who had escorted Zygarde and proclaims that it wishes to challenge the player. The player battles Jacinthe afterward; this battle also doubles as their Z-A Royale promotion match. Jacinthe states that her wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to bring happiness to the people of Lumiose City, by fulfilling her self-proclaimed duty of training each and every one to be the strongest Pokémon Trainers. She gives [[TM020]] ({{m|Play Rough}}) to the player after defeating her.

During the game's final act, Jacinthe and most of the other major Trainers encountered thus far turn up to Team MZ's strategy meeting in hologram forms to discuss how to deal with the [[Ange]] crisis. Jacinthe provides information on the situation in the city and suggests dividing roles in each area in order to help the player reach Zygarde, who is waiting at [[Magenta District]]. Jacinthe does not appear to help the player battle rampaging Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, instead tasking Lebanne to help the player while she works to liaise with the mayor and mobilize forces to defend the city. Jacinthe does eventually appear in person after the battle, right as Lebanne complains about her personality, and Jacinthe makes a mental note to review Lebanne's attitude later. When more Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon appear, Jacinthe and Lebanne together activate a Jacinthe zone barrier to entrap the Pokémon and stop their rampage. In the credits, Jacinthe leads her SBC members in their efforts to help out after the incident with [[Prism Tower]], by setting up Jacinthe zones to quarantine and battle the remaining Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

In the post-game, Ivor and Jacinthe approach Team MZ and ask what the player and Urbain/Taunie will use their Rank A wish for — while also realizing that they both share the same dream of the betterment of Trainers in Lumiose City. Jacinthe suggests the player wishes for a new tournament open to all the Trainers in the city, which would eventually be realized by [[Quasartico Inc.]] as the Infinite Z-A Royale.

===Pokémon===
Jacinthe keeps her Pokémon in [[Luxury Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Clefable}} at the first opportunity.

====Side Mission 119 and [[rematch]]====
After the player has completed 20 reward matches in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], Jacinthe invites the player to return to Hotel Richissime to participate in '''Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe O''', a tournament bracket where Jacinthe occupies every position other than the player's. She must be defeated four times in a row, and uses the same team every time, with both teams being healed between battles. After winning all four battles, the side mission is complete and Jacinthe thereafter uses the stage to host a parody [[battle facility]] called '''Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe Infinite''', where the player can participate in an endless stream of battles, with Jacinthe again using the same team. Similar to more conventional battle facilities, she will keep a record of the player's longest streak of consecutive wins, but there are no rewards other than the experience and money earned from each battle.

==In the TCG==
[[File:JacintheNihilZero76.jpg|200px|thumb|Jacinthe in the TCG]]
{{main|Jacinthe (Nihil Zero 76)}}
'''Jacinthe''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Nihil Zero}} expansion, with artwork by [[Susumu Maeya]]. This card allows the player to heal 150 damage from 1 of their {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Jacinthe uses an {{p|Aurorus}}, even though it isn't Fairy-type and can't learn any Fairy-type moves. This may be in contrast to [[Lebanne]], who uses a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.
** In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, it is mentioned that Jacinthe trained under [[Diantha]], who battles with both an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}. Therefore, Jacinthe using one herself could possibly be a nod to her mentor, with Lebanne following suit in using Tyrantrum. Additionally Jacinthe using a Gardevoir on her team may also be a nod to mentor, as it is Diantha’s signature Pokémon
* When Jacinthe calls using the [[Holo Caster]], her hologram is a different colour than usual, being magenta, the same color used for the Jacinthe zone.
* Jacinthe's artwork for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} is the only character art for the game to feature a specialty [[Poké Ball]], that being her signature [[Luxury Ball]].

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''{{tc|Grand Duchess}}'''.

==In the core series games==

=== History ===
[[File:Diantha Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha challenging the player]]

==== [[Pokémon X and Y]] ====
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]]. She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, several NPCs around [[Lumiose City]] discuss Diantha, revealing that she focused on her acting career after her defeat as Champion. An advertisement can be found in [[Bleu Sector 7]] for Diantha's latest film, ''The Suffering of a Carnation'', the title of which is a reference to her own name.

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
While Diantha herself does not appear in the game, it is revealed she has a daughter named [[Ansha]] who mentions that Diantha is in a faraway [[region]] filming a movie. Ansha's dream is to find the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] and gift it to her mom. She also was the one who taught [[Jacinthe]] about [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battling]].
{{left clear}}

====[[Pokémon X and Y]]====
Diantha will always send out {{p|Gardevoir}} last and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] it at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|Diantha in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, as Ash and [[Alain]] each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Iris Cynthia and Diantha photo.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Diantha participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Diantha battled Leon in the semi-finals. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to defeat even half of his team before her Pokémon were knocked out. As a result, she was eliminated from the tournament. In [[JN123|the]] [[JN124|following]] [[JN125|episodes]], she joined Leon in the waiting room to watch Cynthia's match against Ash. Prior to doing so, however, she briefly talked with Cynthia in the stadium hallway, and told her that she had faith that Cynthia would be the one to reach the finals and break Leon's winning streak. To her surprise, however, Cynthia confessed that she intended to retire from battling after the tournament was over. After the battle, she met up with Cynthia again, to which the latter revealed her change of heart, much to Diantha's delighted relief.

From ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', she and Cynthia watched Ash's match against Leon. After Ash had defeated Leon and become the World Champion, an excited Diantha expressed her sudden urge to have a battle, which an equally excited Cynthia agreed to have with her right away.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics with skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Diantha is revealed to have a very close friendship with {{an|Cynthia}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In [[PS616]], a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} [[Chalmers]]. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into [[Team Flare]]'s clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help, and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]'', Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the background of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* Diantha's appearance and occupation as an actress seem to be based on {{wp|Audrey Hepburn}}, her hairstyle reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's style in ''{{wp|Roman Holiday}}''.
** Diantha's debut animated series episode features her in a film titled ''My Sweet Lady'', an homage to Hepburn's film ''{{wp|My Fair Lady}}''.
* Diantha's {{p|Gourgeist}} is the only Pokémon in {{aniseries|PTS}} to have used the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.
* Diantha is the only regional Champion to have a child that appears in the games.
* According to her [[Ansha|daughter]], Diantha enjoys drinking coffee without sugar.
*A true polymath, Diantha is apparently also gifted as a pâtissière and teacher; having taught her daughter Ansha donut-making and Lady [[Jacinthe]] Pokémon battling.

Corbeau

TurtwigFan4848: Undo revision 4470778 by Anzasquiddles (talk) You are missing the point, the point I am making is that Corbeau also shares another Pokémon with Lysandre (after he became known as L) NOT that it is exclusive to him

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the current boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]], a shady organization in [[Lumiose City]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scolipede}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Corbeau is a skinny young man with pale complexion and sharp, angular eyes. Corbeau is notably rather short, being shorter than his Rust Syndicate grunts and around the same height as the [[player character]]. His hair is swept to his left side, while the right side of his head has a buzz cut.

Corbeau wears a large, black, custom knee-length suit jacket over a purple dress shirt and black trousers. His suit jacket is designed as though there are drips of poison all over it, with droplet-shaped magenta strips of cloth hanging from the bottom of the jacket and the lapels, and the inside of the jacket having an orange and magenta dripping pattern. Corbeau also wears a white necktie with five black notches on each side, black socks, and dark purple dress shoes from [[Masterpiece]] with lighter purple toe caps. Additionally, he wears round glasses, also from Masterpiece, held in place by a drip-like, purple retainer; the bridge of his glasses has an inverted "Y" shape. Finally, Corbeau wears a pin of the Rust Syndicate logo on the left lapel of his jacket, where he keeps his [[Key Stone]].

Corbeau is left-handed, as shown in his key art and when he throws [[Poké Ball]]s.

=== Personality ===
As the head of the [[Rust Syndicate]], Corbeau demands respect and obedience from his subordinates, and is prone to anger when things don't go according to his plans. Despite never really wanting the position of boss to begin with (Philippe abdicated the position in awe of Corbeau's talents), Corbeau is an effective leader. He has his personal code of honor and leads by example — this is best seen when he helps the Rust Syndicate form a human ladder for the {{player}} to climb on during the final act of the {{g|Legends: Z-A}} story.

Corbeau has a cordial, yet generally intimidating presence, and is not above using extortion to get others to do his bidding, such as threatening to raise the interest of Team MZ's debt to him as a way to stop the player from leaking his personal secrets. However, despite his demeanor and shady tactics, Corbeau is well-liked by the people of [[Lumiose City]] who know him, and genuinely wishes the best for the city he calls home. He has a unique method of having his subordinates help the people of the city on his behalf — he forces the player to do various odd jobs to clear [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]'s debt to the Rust Syndicate, which turn out to be little more than community service.

According to [[Philippe]], Corbeau is a savvy businessman, and made a name for himself by setting up various enterprises such as security services, Pokémon couriers, and other ventures that seem legally dubious. Corbeau looks up to and idolizes [[Lysandre]], who gave him support as a child and invested money into his business schemes. In contrast, the fact that Corbeau had to work his way to the top likely explains his disdain for an elite socialite such as [[Jacinthe]] — Corbeau almost never has anything nice to say about her, especially when the two are in one place together.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Prior to the events of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, a child Corbeau was an outsider to [[Lumiose City]], and had no family to rely on. He was taken care of by the boss of an organization from [[Kanto]] who happened to visit Lumiose. [[Lysandre]] was the one who helped and supported Corbeau when he was struggling during his early years. This relationship continues into Corbeau's adulthood, as he convinced Lysandre to give him seed funding for his various businesses. [[Philippe]] and his gang tried to put a stop to Corbeau and his ventures, but eventually had to admit defeat, and Philippe relinquished the position of the [[Rust Syndicate]]'s boss to Corbeau despite the latter's hesitance.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
The player is introduced to Corbeau after reaching Rank D in the [[Z-A Royale]], as he invites them and [[Lida]] to his office to discuss an unpaid debt [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] has with the Rust Syndicate. Both Corbeau and Philippe explain that they offered Urbain/Taunie a {{PDollar}}100,000 loan to shoot promotional videos for Hotel Z, but the loan hasn't been paid back and has now accrued a tenfold interest of {{PDollar}}1,000,000. Despite Lida's protest, both Rust Syndicate men argue that they had indicated the terms and warned Urbain/Taunie that they might not be able to pay back the loan. Knowing no one at [[Team MZ]] can repay the interest, Corbeau offers the player a proposal: to do various jobs on the Rust Syndicate's behalf so that Corbeau will clear the interest, or have the entirety of the Rust Syndicate storm [[Hotel Z]] for a Pokémon showdown if they refuse the offer. Intimidated by the latter option, Lida accepts the proposal regardless of the player's dialogue.

After Team MZ defeats [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Ampharos}} in the city, Corbeau sends the player to do a few Rust Syndicate jobs as per the proposal. While the jobs are initially framed by Corbeau as shady work (for instance, Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to some "troublemakers" in an old building), these jobs turn out to be purely beneficial. The "troublemakers" Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to are merely {{type|Ghost}} wild Pokémon haunting a building that a citizen had just rented, the "undesirable elements" Corbeau tells the player to clear in [[The Sewers|the sewers]] are simply some growths of [[Mega Crystal]]s, and the outsiders he tasks the player to deal with turn out to be members of the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] who were giving unwanted battle lectures to some children. After finishing these jobs, Corbeau and the player are suddenly alerted to Urbain/Taunie and [[Jett]] being confronted by members of the Lumiose Safety Group, and both help clear the situation by battling the Safety Group's representative.

Upon returning home, Corbeau summons the player to the [[Rust Syndicate Office]]. He clears Urbain/Taunie's debt interest as promised, and confesses that he would like to have a proper battle with them — the Z-A Royale app immediately announces that Corbeau serves as the player's opponent in their Z-A Royale promotion match to Rank C. Corbeau states that his wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to gain more influence in Lumiose City so that he can better protect it. He gives [[TM100]] ({{m|Gunk Shot}}) to the player after defeating him. Later that night, Corbeau heads to Hotel Z and checks in as a guest. Despite Team MZ's fears of retaliation or anything else unsavory, Corbeau praises the team for the room and service, and tips Urbain/Taunie the exact amount needed to repay the original debt back to the Rust Syndicate, which they give to Philippe who arrived to escort Corbeau home. After Corbeau and Philippe leave the hotel, Team MZ is left bewildered by their organization's antics, but relieved that Urbain/Taunie's debt is cleared.

Corbeau later appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the third round. During the tournament, Philippe reveals that Corbeau had asked him for battle training earlier, much to Corbeau's embarrassment.

During the game's final act, Corbeau joins the player in a Multi Battle against Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and later he, Philippe, and the rest of the Rust Syndicate help the player climb a building to reach {{ga|Zygarde}} by forming a human ladder. In the credits, Corbeau and the other major characters are seen helping clear the rubble after the incident with [[Prism Tower]].

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Corbeau and his Rust Syndicate reached out to Team MZ, explaining they were helping out [[Quasartico Inc.]] and looking into the abnormal readings detected by the company's equipment. After being relayed information, Corbeau tasked the player with survey work in order for them to gather data on [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] and then deal with the massive distortion.

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

==In the TCG==
[[File:BossOrdersStartDeck100BattleCollection760.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Boss's Orders (Corbeau)]]
During the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series), Corbeau was featured on the recurring {{TCG ID|Paldea Evolved|Boss's Orders|172}} card. It is first included in the Japanese {{TCG|Start Deck 100 Battle Collection}} before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by {{OBP|akagi|illustrator}} A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} print by the same illustrator is also included. Like previous copies of Boss's Orders, the card lets the player switch in one of their opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot.

==Trivia==
* During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
* For his first four matches, the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his {{p|Gyarados}}. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
** He also has a {{p|Garbodor}} that he later adds to his team, which is another Pokémon Lysandre has, albeit after he became known as L.
* In Japanese, Corbeau speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.
* Corbeau is the only known guest to have stayed at [[Hotel Z]].

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the current boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]], a shady organization in [[Lumiose City]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scolipede}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Corbeau is a skinny young man with pale complexion and sharp, angular eyes. Corbeau is notably rather short, being shorter than his Rust Syndicate grunts and around the same height as the [[player character]]. His hair is swept to his left side, while the right side of his head has a buzz cut.

Corbeau wears a large, black, custom knee-length suit jacket over a purple dress shirt and black trousers. His suit jacket is designed as though there are drips of poison all over it, with droplet-shaped magenta strips of cloth hanging from the bottom of the jacket and the lapels, and the inside of the jacket having an orange and magenta dripping pattern. Corbeau also wears a white necktie with five black notches on each side, black socks, and dark purple dress shoes from [[Masterpiece]] with lighter purple toe caps. Additionally, he wears round glasses, also from Masterpiece, held in place by a drip-like, purple retainer; the bridge of his glasses has an inverted "Y" shape. Finally, Corbeau wears a pin of the Rust Syndicate logo on the left lapel of his jacket, where he keeps his [[Key Stone]].

Corbeau is left-handed, as shown in his key art and when he throws [[Poké Ball]]s.

=== Personality ===
As the head of the [[Rust Syndicate]], Corbeau demands respect and obedience from his subordinates, and is prone to anger when things don't go according to his plans. Despite never really wanting the position of boss to begin with (Philippe abdicated the position in awe of Corbeau's talents), Corbeau is an effective leader. He has his personal code of honor and leads by example — this is best seen when he helps the Rust Syndicate form a human ladder for the {{player}} to climb on during the final act of the {{g|Legends: Z-A}} story.

Corbeau has a cordial, yet generally intimidating presence, and is not above using extortion to get others to do his bidding, such as threatening to raise the interest of Team MZ's debt to him as a way to stop the player from leaking his personal secrets. However, despite his demeanor and shady tactics, Corbeau is well-liked by the people of [[Lumiose City]] who know him, and genuinely wishes the best for the city he calls home. He has a unique method of having his subordinates help the people of the city on his behalf — he forces the player to do various odd jobs to clear [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]'s debt to the Rust Syndicate, which turn out to be little more than community service.

According to [[Philippe]], Corbeau is a savvy businessman, and made a name for himself by setting up various enterprises such as security services, Pokémon couriers, and other ventures that seem legally dubious. Corbeau looks up to and idolizes [[Lysandre]], who gave him support as a child and invested money into his business schemes. In contrast, the fact that Corbeau had to work his way to the top likely explains his disdain for an elite socialite such as [[Jacinthe]] — Corbeau almost never has anything nice to say about her, especially when the two are in one place together.

=== History ===

==== Background ====
Prior to the events of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, a child Corbeau was an outsider to [[Lumiose City]], and had no family to rely on. He was taken care of by the boss of an organization from [[Kanto]] who happened to visit Lumiose. [[Lysandre]] was the one who helped and supported Corbeau when he was struggling during his early years. This relationship continues into Corbeau's adulthood, as he convinced Lysandre to give him seed funding for his various businesses. [[Philippe]] and his gang tried to put a stop to Corbeau and his ventures, but eventually had to admit defeat, and Philippe relinquished the position of the [[Rust Syndicate]]'s boss to Corbeau despite the latter's hesitance.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
The player is introduced to Corbeau after reaching Rank D in the [[Z-A Royale]], as he invites them and [[Lida]] to his office to discuss an unpaid debt [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] has with the Rust Syndicate. Both Corbeau and Philippe explain that they offered Urbain/Taunie a {{PDollar}}100,000 loan to shoot promotional videos for Hotel Z, but the loan hasn't been paid back and has now accrued a tenfold interest of {{PDollar}}1,000,000. Despite Lida's protest, both Rust Syndicate men argue that they had indicated the terms and warned Urbain/Taunie that they might not be able to pay back the loan. Knowing no one at [[Team MZ]] can repay the interest, Corbeau offers the player a proposal: to do various jobs on the Rust Syndicate's behalf so that Corbeau will clear the interest, or have the entirety of the Rust Syndicate storm [[Hotel Z]] for a Pokémon showdown if they refuse the offer. Intimidated by the latter option, Lida accepts the proposal regardless of the player's dialogue.

After Team MZ defeats [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Ampharos}} in the city, Corbeau sends the player to do a few Rust Syndicate jobs as per the proposal. While the jobs are initially framed by Corbeau as shady work (for instance, Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to some "troublemakers" in an old building), these jobs turn out to be purely beneficial. The "troublemakers" Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to are merely {{type|Ghost}} wild Pokémon haunting a building that a citizen had just rented, the "undesirable elements" Corbeau tells the player to clear in [[The Sewers|the sewers]] are simply some growths of [[Mega Crystal]]s, and the outsiders he tasks the player to deal with turn out to be members of the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] who were giving unwanted battle lectures to some children. After finishing these jobs, Corbeau and the player are suddenly alerted to Urbain/Taunie and [[Jett]] being confronted by members of the Lumiose Safety Group, and both help clear the situation by battling the Safety Group's representative.

Upon returning home, Corbeau summons the player to the [[Rust Syndicate Office]]. He clears Urbain/Taunie's debt interest as promised, and confesses that he would like to have a proper battle with them — the Z-A Royale app immediately announces that Corbeau serves as the player's opponent in their Z-A Royale promotion match to Rank C. Corbeau states that his wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to gain more influence in Lumiose City so that he can better protect it. He gives [[TM100]] ({{m|Gunk Shot}}) to the player after defeating him. Later that night, Corbeau heads to Hotel Z and checks in as a guest. Despite Team MZ's fears of retaliation or anything else unsavory, Corbeau praises the team for the room and service, and tips Urbain/Taunie the exact amount needed to repay the original debt back to the Rust Syndicate, which they give to Philippe who arrived to escort Corbeau home. After Corbeau and Philippe leave the hotel, Team MZ is left bewildered by their organization's antics, but relieved that Urbain/Taunie's debt is cleared.

Corbeau later appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the third round. During the tournament, Philippe reveals that Corbeau had asked him for battle training earlier, much to Corbeau's embarrassment.

During the game's final act, Corbeau joins the player in a Multi Battle against Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and later he, Philippe, and the rest of the Rust Syndicate help the player climb a building to reach {{ga|Zygarde}} by forming a human ladder. In the credits, Corbeau and the other major characters are seen helping clear the rubble after the incident with [[Prism Tower]].

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Corbeau and his Rust Syndicate reached out to Team MZ, explaining they were helping out [[Quasartico Inc.]] and looking into the abnormal readings detected by the company's equipment. After being relayed information, Corbeau tasked the player with survey work in order for them to gather data on [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] and then deal with the massive distortion.

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

During the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series), Corbeau was featured on the recurring {{TCG ID|Paldea Evolved|Boss's Orders|172}} card. It is first included in the Japanese {{TCG|Start Deck 100 Battle Collection}} before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by {{OBP|akagi|illustrator}} A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} print by the same illustrator is also included. Like previous copies of Boss's Orders, the card lets the player switch in one of their opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot.

==Trivia==
* During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
* For his first four matches, the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his {{p|Gyarados}}. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
** He also has a [[Garbodor]] that he later adds to his team, which is another Pokémon Lysandre has, albeit after he became known as L.
* In Japanese, Corbeau speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.
* Corbeau is the only known guest to have stayed at [[Hotel Z]].

==Trivia==
* While Vinnie (whose name starts with "V") is battled when the player is at Rank V, Vinnie's rank itself is "???" and not Rank V, and his name only starts with V in English and German.
** Although Vinnie's rank is displayed as "???", it is internally identified in the game's code as Rank G.
* When defeated Vinnie reveals he had only just added his Buneary to his team, hence explaining why it is unevolved unlike with the rest of his team.

'''Professor Augustine Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Kalos]] region. He specializes in both [[Evolution]], [[Mega Evolution]], and change.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Sycamore Intro XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Sycamore in the opening of Pokémon X and Y]]
Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the [[player character]], the opposite-gendered character, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]] to help him with his research, sending the [[Prof's Letter]] to the {{kal|Grace|player's mother}} to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a first partner Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]] through Tierno.

The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterward, gives them one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and its final evolved form's [[Mega Stone]]. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

He feels disappointed when [[Lysandre]] reveals himself to be the boss of [[Team Flare]], but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to the [[Lysandre Labs]] in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in [[AZ]] and how to thwart their plans.

[[File:Sycamore Lab XY.png|thumb|250px|Sycamore at his lab in Pokémon X and Y]]
At [[Couriway Town]], he will apologize to the player for not preventing what Lysandre had done. He then challenges the player to another battle to test how far they have come in their journey. After being defeated, he informs the player that he has a special surprise for helping stop [[Team Flare]] and leaves. Once the player has beaten the {{kal|Pokémon League}}, he leads a parade for the player in Lumiose City, where he awards them and their friends with the [[Honor of Kalos]] for their heroics.

Later, he tells the player to meet him in Lumiose Station, where he gives them a [[TMV Pass]] to board a train to [[Kiloude City]]. After {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} is defeated in Kiloude, Professor Sycamore will upgrade the player's [[Mega Ring]] in [[Anistar City]] so that they can detect hidden Mega Stones around [[Kalos]] from 8 PM to 9 PM.

When the Pokédex is evaluated at his lab in [[Lumiose City]], Sycamore will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] for completing all three Kalos [[Pokédex]]es (Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos) and a [[Shiny Charm]] for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

Professor Sycamore is also [[List of cross-generational references|mentioned]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}, where Dexio and Sina reveal that he was the one who discovered the [[Zygarde Cube]].

Professor Sycamore does not physically appear in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It is confirmed by an NPC in the lab that he had resigned as the director of the Pokémon Research Lab for unknown reasons, with [[Mable]] serving as acting director in his place. He does, however, appear in a few photos hanging up in the lab. A different NPC mentions that Sycamore is currently in another region with Trevor, with the two conducting research together.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Professor Sycamore Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Sycamore in Pokémon Adventures]]
Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging {{adv|Trevor}} via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of first partner Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Sycamore debuts in person at his lab in Lumiose City, where he shows the footage Trevor recorded to Lysandre. Sycamore also gives a copy of the footage so that it may be used for further study.

Later, Trevor and his friends make it to Lumiose City. There, they meet with Professor Sycamore and return the {{p|Charmander}} that had previously escaped from Sycamore's lab. Trevor, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} are sent to Lysandre Café to have Trevor's Holo Caster fixed while {{adv|X}} stays behind. When X reveals that he doesn't want to take the {{p|Chespin}} that Trevor got for him because he worries that it will only get caught up in the constant attacks from [[Team Flare]], Professor Sycamore decides to challenge him to a battle in hopes of changing his mind. Although X agrees, he is angered when he is forced to use Chespin instead of [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]. The battle ends with Professor Sycamore as the victor. Despite the lack of interest in the fight, X is impressed by Chespin's valor enough to take it on his team and give it a nickname. Much to Professor Sycamore's surprise and confusion, X also takes an interest in training the Charmander.

Afterward, the two head off to the Prism Tower while riding the Gogoat Shuttle service. When X's friends ask Sycamore about Lysandre's scary demeanor, Sycamore laughs their worries off and assumes they were just shocked from his majestic personality. He then heads inside Prism Tower to have an interview with Lumiose Press.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare. When X's group arrives at Anistar to meet with the Professor, they find him surrounded by four {{p|Hawlucha}} while dangling on a harness connected to the Anistar Sundial. X and Y free the Professor and battle against the Hawlucha, whose Trainer is hidden in the area. While X's team battles the Hawlucha, Sycamore reveals that the effects of the ultimate weapon firing on Kalos have made it so that X and Y can track Mega Stones with their [[Mega Ring]]s, but only from 8 PM to 9 PM. X and Y decide to take this information to look for the Mega Stones for their new team members, {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and {{p|Absol|Solsol}}, but realize that the person who commanded the Hawlucha is still at large. While X and Y stay behind to face the unknown Trainer, Tierno and Shauna take their Mega Rings to find the Mega Stones for Rute and Solsol. As Tierno and Shauna search for the Mega Stones, Y discovers the person who attacked Sycamore was [[Emma|Essentia]], a member of Team Flare, and battles her. After Essentia escapes, Sycamore learns from his assistants that Team Flare are hiding at the [[Pokémon Village]].

Later, after Team Flare is defeated once and for all, Professor Sycamore, the Kalos Gym Leaders, [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]] congratulate X and his friends for their victory. Professor Sycamore proposes to have a party and parade as a celebration for their heroics, but Trevor declines, as he and his friends prefer to stick close to one another. Later, Sycamore talks to {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Blaine}} about their involvement in the battle against Team Flare. Blue and Blaine reveal that after they witnessed Zygarde disintegrate into its Cells, they noticed a green figure from where it once stood. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures have been seen in the [[Alola]] region, and sends Sina and Dexio there to investigate. While Sina and Dexio are away, Sycamore has Trevor take their place as his assistant.

==Quotes==
;[[Tower of Mastery]]
*First visit
:''"Oh? You must be <player>, then. {{prof|Sycamore}} told me you would be coming. I'm called the [[Mega Evolution]] guru. I guess you could say I'm an acquaintance of his. Oh, but Mega Evolution guru isn't my real name, of course. Now, come here for a moment, will you?"''
:''"Hm? Only one of you? I thought he gave five kids a [[Pokédex]]. Isn't there anyone else with you?"''
:''"People call me the Mega Evolution guru!"''
:''"Please to meet you, Sycamore's pupils! But there are still only three of you, huh?"''
:''"What's this, now? Were you the one who found that [[Intriguing Stone]]?"''
::'''Yes, it was me.''': ''"Nothing good comes from lying! Were you REALLY the one who found that Intriguing Stone?"''
::'''It was given to me.''': ''"Well, who found it doesn't really matter. What's important is that you were honest. If you tell lies, the truth is clouded and eventually lost... And while we're being honest, that Intriguing Stone is just an ordinary rock."''
:''"Hm? Sure a lot of hubbub out there. Does that mean everyone has arrived?"''
:''"Hmm! Looks like everyone is finally here."''
:''"This is my granddaughter [[Korrina]]. She's [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym Leader]]. So, Sycamore's pupils. Now that you're all here... I suppose I should explain Mega Evolution to you. I assume you all know about Pokémon [[Evolution]]?"''
:''"Indeed! Mega Evolution is a transformation of Pokémon that were thought to be unable to evolve any further! It's a whole new level of power!"''
:''"There's a reason why I used the word "transformation" a moment ago. Mega Evolution differs from Evolution because it ends after a certain amount of time. In other words, it's a temporary Evolution."''
:''"To make Mega Evolution work, you need two items: a [[Mega Stone]] for the Pokémon and the [[Mega Ring]], which has a [[Key Stone|mysterious stone]] set in it, for the Trainer. Since Professor Sycamore entrusted each one of you with a Pokédex, I would like to give these items to all of you... I'd like to share them with you, but..."''
:''"Sorry, but presently, I have only one Mega Ring... It's a very precious item. That's why my research isn't getting anywhere... So, I want all of you to decide among yourselves which one of you will be the one who challenges the Mega Evolution successor."''

* If talked to
:''"Let's see which one of you has more love and trust toward your Pokémon!"''

:''"Well then, <player>! First, you should challenge Korrina, the Gym Leader."''

* If the player has a fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[first partner Pokémon]] in their [[party]]
:''"Hm... You have a {{p|Venusaur}}/{{p|Charizard}}/{{p|Blastoise}} with you, then. I'm excited to see what the two of you will accomplish with the power of Mega Evolution!"''

:''"You don't really need to go to all the trouble of comparing--every living creature is unique. But still, having someone to compete against and aim for greater heights with is a very fine thing."''

* If spoken to
:''"I guess Korrina wants to see how good a Trainer you are first."''

* Second visit
:''"Oh! Korrina, I mean the Mega Evolution successor, is waiting for you at the top of the tower!"''

:* If spoken to
:''I guess Korrina wants to see how good a Trainer you are first.''

:* If spoken to (after battle against Mega Lucario)
:''Other items related to Mega Evolution, like the Mega Ring or Mega Stones, must still remain hidden in the vast Kalos region... Maybe I'll search for them some more, so I can help strengthen the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers.''

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Gurkinn debuted in a flashback in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', where he presented {{an|Korrina}} with her very own [[Key Stone]]. He told her that in order for her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} be able to Mega Evolve, she needed to go to [[Geosenge Town]] and find a [[Lucarionite]] there.

Once Korrina arrived in Geosenge Town with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', they found a cave where the Lucarionite was said to be held. After defeating the {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite, Gurkinn appeared and revealed the battle was a test to finish Korrina's training. Proud that his granddaughter passed, Gurkinn awarded Korrina the Lucarionite.

In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', after successfully Mega Evolving her Lucario, Korrina used her Mega Lucario against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. When the strain of the transformation caused Lucario to go berserk, Gurkinn sent his own Lucario out to stop Korrina's Lucario. Later, Gurkinn decided to teach Korrina a lesson as to why their Mega Evolution went wrong by challenging her Mega Lucario with his own Mega Lucario. Gurkinn's Lucario easily had the upper hand the entire fight, while Korrina's Lucario went berserk once again. Gurkinn had his Lucario knock out Korrina's, turning it back to normal in the process. Gurkinn scolded Korrina for the failure to control the power of Mega Evolution before sending her on a quest to [[Pomace Mountain]], where an [[Mabel|old mentor]] of his could teach Korrina to master Mega Evolution.

The group arrived at the [[Tower of Mastery]] for Ash's Gym battle with Korrina in ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]''. They also met up with Gurkinn, who informed them about the Tower of Mastery's long history with Mega Evolution and the closely guarded 'Scroll of Secrets'. {{TRT}} went on to steal the sacred scroll, which Korrina managed to retrieve following a battle. Gurkinn agreed to finally reveal the scroll's contents, which turned out to be a disappointment for the others as it was just a series of basic rules written by Gurkinn.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Gurkinn refereed the three-on-three Gym battle between Ash versus Korrina. While Korrina was defeated, Gurkinn congratulated his granddaughter on her excellent battle performance and mastery of Mega Evolution. Afterwards, he suggested Ash should challenge the nearby [[Coumarine Gym]] next.

He appeared in Clemont's flashback in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]''.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', Gurkinn was seen watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] alongside Korrina and her Lucario.

In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', Gurkinn refereed the battle between Korrina and [[Alain]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Gurkinn disguise.png|thumb|250px|Gurkinn in disguise]]
In ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] met up with Gurkinn when they visited the Kalos region. After Goh tried to catch his Lucario, thinking it was a wild Pokémon, he gave Goh some advice on catching {{p|Flabébé}}. Later, he and Goh watched Ash and Korrina's [[World Coronation Series]] tournament battle. He explained Mega Evolution to Goh when they witnessed Korrina's Lucario Mega Evolve, and later congratulated Ash for winning the battle.

In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Gurkinn refereed Korrina's battle against a Trainer and his {{p|Quilladin}}. He later took Ash, Goh, and Korrina to [[Mega Island]] in search of a Lucarionite for [[Ash's Lucario]] and left them. He later reappeared disguised after they found it and battled Ash and Lucario with his Mega {{p|Alakazam}}. Once Lucario was able to reach the Lucarionite, Gurkinn removed his disguise and congratulated Ash.

In ''[[JN130|Toying With Your Motions!]]'', Gurkinn watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Korrina and [[Bea]].

===Character===
Gurkinn is compassionate, but maintains a stern exterior. He lives a disciplined life based around maintaining his family's legacy at the [[Tower of Mastery]] and association with [[Mega Evolution]]. He has high expectations for his granddaughter Korrina, who is the latest [[Shalour City]] [[Gym Leader]], and continues to test her strengths in a series of trials like in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

Blaziken kept the upper hand during the fight with its powerful moves and type advantage, but with words of encouragement from {{Ash}}, Korrina and Lucario regained their resolve and immobilized Blaziken. Before Lucario could finish Blaziken off, Gurkinn intervened, revealing himself to be Blaziken's Trainer and the battle was only a test.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Gurkinn AZ Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Gurkinn in Pokémon Adventures]]
Gurkinn debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. Years prior to the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, he rescued {{adv|X}} from a pair of intrusive reporters. He gave X a [[Mega Ring]] after seeing the bond the boy shared with his [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kangaskhan]]. In addition to X, Gurkinn also gave [[Key Stone]]s to 17 other people chosen to be Mega Evolution Successors, including Korrina, [[Diantha]], {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Blue}}, [[Steven Stone]], [[Blaine]], [[Gurkinn's students|Peche, Ile, and Or]].

Gurkinn was first seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]], where he was attacked by Korrina, who angrily demanded to know why X received a Mega Ring without going through the proper succession ceremony. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], a member of [[Team Flare]]. Gurkinn and Korrina fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Gurkinn and Korrina were forced to activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina encountered Diantha, a former student of Gurkinn's. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once rescued, Gurkinn, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. The three set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Gurkinn, Korrina, and Diantha arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help X and his friends stop [[Team Flare]] from taking Xerneas's tree form. By Mega Evolving the {{p|Gengar}} he received as a gift from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia and forced her to flee. Korrina fought Celosia and won, freeing the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] townspeople Team Flare was using as forced labor in the process. Korrina was then knocked unconscious by Celosia's {{p|Honedge}}, allowing the scientist to take Xerneas to and steal her Key Stone.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. Meanwhile, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} trained with Gurkinn in Pokémon battling. Noting Y's strength, Gurkinn wondered if he should pass his Key Stone down to her. In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Y was officially made a Mega Evolution Successor. She received a Mega Ring outfitted with the Key Stone from Gurkinn's Mega Glove.

In [[PS616]], Steven revealed that in addition to his own, the three Key Stones he gave to {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}}, were given to him from Gurkinn. The [[Meteor Village]] {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} speculated that Gurkinn may be a descendant of a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] that moved to [[Kalos]].

==Trivia==
* All of Gurkinn's Pokémon in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and {{aniseries|PTS}} are capable of [[Mega Evolution]].

* In [[Pokémon GO]], Gurkinn's epithet of "Mega Evolution Guru" is used as the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for {{GO|Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving}} various different species of Pokémon.

'''Ansha''' (Japanese: '''アンシャ''' ''Ansha'') is a [[friend]] character from the {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. She is a talented chef who creates [[donut]]s that dreams of finding the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] and gift it to her dear [[Diantha|mama]]. During the course of the game, Ansha becomes a full-fledged member of Team MZ and assists the group by powering up Hoopa with her donuts in order create portals to the hyperspace.

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
Ansha is a short, young girl with fair complexion. Her hair is mostly covered in her fluffy white hat; the hair on the back of her head is styled to resemble a {{wp|mochi donut}}. She wears a knee-length black overcoat with a fluffy pink collar over a white sweater, and black shoes with fluffy pink legwarmers, and she carries a small white backpack with golden ornaments. When cooking donuts, Ansha dons her cooking attire, consisting of a bluish-gray apron and head scarf with a donut pattern; Naveen and Lida later sewed the Team MZ logo onto her apron.

===Personality===
[[File:Ansha cooking with Hoopa ZA.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ansha cooking [[donut]]s with {{p|Hoopa}}]]
Ansha is a young girl who shows surprising maturity and eloquence by the way she speaks and is also polite with the adults around her, addressing them properly. She enjoys making donuts and has been getting better at it over the years: this ability and her caring and kind personality has led the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}} to gather an interest in her and two ended up becoming friends. She cares a lot for her mother Diantha, so much so that she wants to get the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}} to give her as a present. Despite this, she seems to be worried that she might not live up to the expectations of being a Champion's daughter, should she pursue being a Pokémon Trainer herself. Moreover, she seems saddened by the fact she does not get to spend much time with her mother, given how busy she is with her acting career.{{-}}

===History===
====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Ansha is a talented donut chef who, along with her partner [[Hoopa]], seeks the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} to give to her "dear mama", [[Diantha]]. Along the way, Ansha seeks the help of [[Team MZ]] to make a donut that will give Hoopa a surge of power, and ends up guiding them to [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

It also seems to have developed some animosity towards the Prison Bottle, refusing to change back into its Unbound form.

About 6 months prior to the events of [[Mega Dimension]], Ansha happened upon Hoopa, heavily weakened after losing a battle to a mighty Pokémon it played a prank on. She fed it a fresh-baked [[donut]], granting its strength back and since then, it followed her around, helping her visit [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] through the use of its {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}s.

It appears alongside Ansha while she resides at [[Hotel Z]]. Eating donuts baked by her, it gains the power to use its Hyperspace Holes and open up the distortions across Lumiose, which allow [[Team MZ]] to access new pockets of hyperspace.

In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission]] #196 ''The Djinn Unbound'', [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] found the Prison Bottle among [[AZ]]'s belongings, when Hoopa saw it, another Hoopa, in its Unbound form, suddenly appeared in hyperspace. [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] caught the angered Hoopa and obtained the Prison Bottle from Urbain/Taunie as Both Ansha and Hoopa express that the player keep the bottle away from it, preferring to keep it in its Confined form.

Hoopa's only known move is {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}.}}

| desc=A few months prior to the events of [[Mega Dimension]], Ansha witnessed a Rayquaza flying over her in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. Inspired to catch it for her [[Diantha|mother]], she sought out [[Team MZ]] to help her track it down. Thanks to Ansha's story about Rayquaza, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Groudon}}, Team MZ successfully summoned a distortion above [[Hotel Z]] that'd lead to a pocket of hyperspace housing Rayquaza. The team travelled to [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]], battled the [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Rayquaza and defeated it, with [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] catching it. Having finally met Rayquaza, Ansha expressed her desire to hold off on presenting it to her mom until she became a [[Pokémon Trainer]] herself, and asked the player to look after Rayquaza until that day.

Rayquaza's known moves upon capture are {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, {{m|Hyper Voice}}, {{m|Outrage}}, and {{m|Meteor Beam}}.}}




==Trivia==
* Ansha's Hoopa's love for donuts appears to reference the animated Pokémon movie ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', which features a {{an|Hoopa}} that loves to eat donuts.
* The beginning of Ansha's theme contains elements of [[Diantha|her mother]]'s battle theme.
* Ansha is currently the only [[friend]] character from the [[core series]] to not appear in any sort of battle at all.
** She is also the only member of [[Team MZ]] who cannot be battled as well.

'''Professor Laventon''' (Japanese: '''ラベン博士''' ''Dr. Laven'') is a travelling [[Pokémon Professor]] who studies in the [[Hisui]] region. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps and specializes in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s modes of life.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Professor Laventon finds the {{player}} on [[Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach]] after they have fallen through the [[space-time rift]]. The appearance of the player has attracted the interest of the Professor's three [[first partner Pokémon]]. After the player awakens, the Pokémon run away and the Professor tasks the player with recapturing them. Impressed by their skill he takes the player to [[Jubilife Village]] to recruit them into the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps.

For most of the game, Professor Laventon can be found at all [[base camp]]s or his laboratory in [[Galaxy Hall]]. The player can report their latest survey results by speaking to Laventon, which entails any Pokémon caught and {{OBP|research task|Legends: Arceus}}s completed since the last report. He will then reward the player with [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|research points]] based on these results.

The [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are written by Laventon. Incidentally, he coined the term "[[scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]]" for {{p|Oshawott}}'s signature seashell and the term "[[aura]]" for {{p|Lucario}}'s signature energy wave control power. Laventon also observed that {{p|Unown}} resemble human writing from other lands, though no one takes him seriously.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. During Ms. [[Raifort]]'s history classes, a photo of Laventon appears on the classroom board as part of a timeline on the [[History of Poké Balls|history and development of the Poké Ball]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, where he is portrayed in an old painting in an office building in [[Lumiose City]]. He is also mentioned several times in the [[Lumiose Museum]].

===Pokémon===
====Gives to the player====
Professor Laventon gives the player their choice of [[first partner Pokémon]] from Pokémon he collected while traveling the {{pkmn|world}}. After the player has beaten the main story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, he will give the player the remaining two first partner Pokémon once spoken to at his lab.

==Quotes==
{{main|Professor Laventon/Quotes}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:ProfessorLaventonSilverTempest162.jpg|200px|thumb|Professor Laventon in the TCG]]
{{main|Professor Laventon (Silver Tempest 162)}}
'''Professor Laventon''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}} and the English {{TCG|Silver Tempest}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to put up to three Pokémon that have "Hisuian" in their names from their discard pile into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* As the Galaxy Expedition Team consists of foreigners to Hisui, Laventon is the only known [[Pokémon Professor]] in the [[core series]] not to be from the region he resides in.
** There are several hints in the game that Professor Laventon may be from the [[Galar]] region:
*** In the [[Pokédex entry]] for {{p|Raichu}}, he mentions {{p|Copperajah}} that live in his homeland, with Galar being the only region where they can be encountered that had been revealed as of the release of the game.
*** The writing on the blackboard in his office uses the alphabet from {{g|Sword and Shield}} instead of the style of writing used elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
*** He often uses stock British phrases such as "jolly good". In other versions of the game, such as the Japanese and German versions, he will sometimes speak in English instead.
* Professor Laventon's drawings that he made for his Pokédex are on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. The description for the display states that his original Pokédex was thought lost until it was found in a shed in the [[Sinnoh]] region.
** In the same game, an old portrait of Laventon is hanging in the [[Old Building]].

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Tierno appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the [[first partner Pokémon]] sent through him by [[Professor Sycamore]]. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "[[dance moves]]", such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Tierno is first met in [[Aquacorde Town]], where he delivers the player and two of their friends a [[first partner Pokémon]] on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Santalune City]], where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, and then again on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, albeit this time with [[Trevor]]. Tierno is next met in [[Reflection Cave]], where he gives the player a TM containing {{m|Flash}}.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in [[Coumarine City]], asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a [[Heart Scale]] if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno does not appear in person in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, but an NPC mentions that he has traveled to [[Unova]] and is making waves as a dancer. It is also revealed in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC that [[Lida]] is his younger half-sister from another mother, though they've never met.

'''Tierno''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter Card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] at the beginning of the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|XY Beginning Set}}, the Tierno card later debuted in the English {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Cheren|91}} from the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion, Tierno allows the player to draw three cards from their deck.

*Tierno and Lida are the first sibling characters to be confirmed as half-siblings rather then full siblings.
**They are also the only siblings to have never met each other.

'''Professor Laventon''' (Japanese: '''ラベン博士''' ''Dr. Laven'') is a travelling [[Pokémon Professor]] who studies in the [[Hisui]] region. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps and specializes in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s modes of life.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Professor Laventon finds the {{player}} on [[Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach]] after they have fallen through the [[space-time rift]]. The appearance of the player has attracted the interest of the Professor's three [[first partner Pokémon]]. After the player awakens, the Pokémon run away and the Professor tasks the player with recapturing them. Impressed by their skill he takes the player to [[Jubilife Village]] to recruit them into the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps.

For most of the game, Professor Laventon can be found at all [[base camp]]s or his laboratory in [[Galaxy Hall]]. The player can report their latest survey results by speaking to Laventon, which entails any Pokémon caught and {{OBP|research task|Legends: Arceus}}s completed since the last report. He will then reward the player with [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|research points]] based on these results.

The [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are written by Laventon. Incidentally, he coined the term "[[scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]]" for {{p|Oshawott}}'s signature seashell and the term "[[aura]]" for {{p|Lucario}}'s signature energy wave control power. Laventon also observed that {{p|Unown}} resemble human writing from other lands, though no one takes him seriously.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. During Ms. [[Raifort]]'s history classes, a photo of Laventon appears on the classroom board as part of a timeline on the [[History of Poké Balls|history and development of the Poké Ball]]. He is also mentioned several times in the [[Lumiose Museum]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, where he is portrayed in an old painting in an office building in [[Lumiose City]].

===Pokémon===
====Gives to the player====
Professor Laventon gives the player their choice of [[first partner Pokémon]] from Pokémon he collected while traveling the {{pkmn|world}}. After the player has beaten the main story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, he will give the player the remaining two first partner Pokémon once spoken to at his lab.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ProfessorLaventonSilverTempest162.jpg|200px|thumb|Professor Laventon in the TCG]]
{{main|Professor Laventon (Silver Tempest 162)}}
'''Professor Laventon''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}} and the English {{TCG|Silver Tempest}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to put up to three Pokémon that have "Hisuian" in their names from their discard pile into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* As the Galaxy Expedition Team consists of foreigners to Hisui, Laventon is the only known [[Pokémon Professor]] in the [[core series]] not to be from the region he resides in.
** There are several hints in the game that Professor Laventon may be from the [[Galar]] region:
*** In the [[Pokédex entry]] for {{p|Raichu}}, he mentions {{p|Copperajah}} that live in his homeland, with Galar being the only region where they can be encountered that had been revealed as of the release of the game.
*** The writing on the blackboard in his office uses the alphabet from {{g|Sword and Shield}} instead of the style of writing used elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
*** He often uses stock British phrases such as "jolly good". In other versions of the game, such as the Japanese and German versions, he will sometimes speak in English instead.
* Professor Laventon's drawings that he made for his Pokédex are on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. The description for the display states that his original Pokédex was thought lost until it was found in a shed in the [[Sinnoh]] region.
** In the same game, an old portrait of Laventon is hanging in the [[Old Building]].

'''Annihilape''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コノヨザル''' ''Konoyozaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Primeape}} when [[level]]ed up after using {{m|Rage Fist}} twenty times. It is the final form of {{p|Mankey}}.

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

==Biology==
[[File:Annihilape fist.png|250px|thumb|left|Annihilape increasing the size of its unshackled arm]]
Annihilape is a simian Pokémon with a round body that is situated on two thin legs with black shackles around its ankles. It is covered in shaggy grey fur that streams upward and fades to white as it seems to evaporate. Its shaggy ear fur usually hangs down but tends to stream upwards while Annihilape is in battle. Unlike Primeape and Mankey, Annihilape's skin is a dark grey. The metal shackle on its left arm is broken while it appears to have no shackle at all on the right arm. It is also able to greatly increase the size of its unshackled arm. Annihilape has three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. There are multiple throbbing veins on the left side of its face, with a large pink pig-like snout as well. Its eyes are red as if the creature were in an extreme rage.

Annihilape evolved from {{p|Primeape}} when the rage in its soul became too much for its physical form to contain; it gained increased power as a result of its spirit no longer being limited by the flesh. The evolution of Annihilape is said to occur when Primeape repeatedly uses Rage Fist multiple times with enough force to burst the blood vessels in its head. The rage that was bubbling inside fills its punches with force that frightens its targets to their core.

Annihilape and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Primeape}}, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Rage Fist}}.

===Evolution===
Annihilape evolves from {{p|Primeape}} and is the final form of {{p|Mankey}}.

Annihilape made its animated series debut at the very end of ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', albeit heavily shadowed. It appeared properly in [[HZ053|the next episode]], as part of an enraged group of {{p|Mankey}} and {{p|Primeape}} that had been separated from their food storage. In the same episode, two other Annihilape appeared after evolving from Primeape.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Annihilape (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
*This Pokémon shares it’s name, likely by coincidence with a Marvel comic book character of the same name.
===Origin===
Similar to its pre-Evolutions, Annihilape seems to take inspiration from primates, particularly {{wp|Barbary macaques in Gibraltar|Gibraltar barbary macaques}}, but it could also take inspiration from {{wp|snub-nosed monkey}}s, {{wp|Japanese macaque}}s, {{wp|Southern pig-tailed macaque}}s, and {{wp|baboon}}s, sharing with the latter the pig-like nose, proportions, and propensity for rage.

Its general concept and added {{type|Ghost}} may have been inspired by {{p|Primeape}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, which states that Primeape can become so angry that it dies as a result. Additionally, it seems to be inspired by {{wp|onryō}}, vengeful spirits from Japanese folklore. It may take additional inspiration from the {{wp|Basajaun}}, a hairy apelike being from Basque folklore.

====Name origin====
Annihilape may be a combination of ''annihilate'' and ''ape''.

Konoyozaru may be a combination of この世を去る ''kono yo o saru'' (to leave this world; to die) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

This is a list of Pokémon in the order dictated by the [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]] [[regional Pokédex]]. There are 132 numbered Pokémon in the Hyperspace Pokédex, 131 of which are directly available in the game and required for Pokédex completion. Additionally, the Hyperspace Pokédex shares the "[[List of Pokémon in the Mega Evolution Pokédex|Mega Evolution Pokédex]]".

{{p|Zeraora}} from the regular Pokédex is only available through [[Mystery Gift]] event and thus not required for Pokédex completion.

==Trivia==
* This is the first DLC Pokédex not to share any Pokémon with the Pokédex from the base game.
* The Hyperspace Pokédex has the most obtainable [[Mythical Pokémon]] in a [[core series]] game, with a total of 11.
* Containing 132 species of Pokémon, it is the smallest [[DLC]] regional Pokédex by number of species to date.
* This is the first time that there is no reward like a [[diploma]] or [[charm]] for completion of the Pokédex.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Tierno appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the [[first partner Pokémon]] sent through him by [[Professor Sycamore]]. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "[[dance moves]]", such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Tierno is first met in [[Aquacorde Town]], where he delivers the player and two of their friends a [[first partner Pokémon]] on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Santalune City]], where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, and then again on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, albeit this time with [[Trevor]]. Tierno is next met in [[Reflection Cave]], where he gives the player a TM containing {{m|Flash}}.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in [[Coumarine City]], asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a [[Heart Scale]] if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno does not appear in person in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, but an NPC mentions that he has traveled to [[Unova]] and is making waves as a dancer. It is also revealed in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC that [[Lida]] is his younger half-sister from another mother, though they've never met.

==In the TCG==
[[File:TiernoKalosStarterSet39.jpg|201px|thumb|Tierno]]
{{main|Tierno (Kalos Starter Set 39)}}
'''Tierno''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter Card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] at the beginning of the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|XY Beginning Set}}, the Tierno card later debuted in the English {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Cheren|91}} from the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion, Tierno allows the player to draw three cards from their deck.

'''Korrina''' (Japanese: '''コルニ''' ''Corni''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/awefawef_01lucario.jpg "Corni & Mega Lucario"] [[Pokémon Scale World]] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a character who appears in {{g|X and Y}} and the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

In Pokémon X and Y, she is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Shalour Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{badge|Rumble}} to Trainers who defeat her.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, she [[Friend|befriends]] and joins [[Team MZ]], helping them solve the mystery of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Successor''' (Japanese: '''けいしょうしゃ''' ''Successor'').

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===

==== Pokémon X and Y ====
Korrina is a young girl with a slender, athletic build and fair complexion. She has blue-gray eyes and very long, knee-length cream-blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She is noted to have powerful legs; the [[television]] show Gym Freaks mentions that her axe-kicks can shatter rocks.

Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the [[Mega Ring]] as it has a [[Key Stone]] embedded on it. She also wears white rollerskate boots with red decals.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
5 years later, Korrina's hair is noticeably longer, and she wears it into a bun and a ring, resembling the Mega Evolution symbol. She first appears wearing a thick white full-body coat, before she takes it off and reveals her current outfit: a zipper crop top with a tall collar, double-layered shorts, and a bandana, all of which are colored in various hues of yellow, green, blue, and purple. Her bandana has the Mega Evolution sigil printed on it. Korrina also wears white arm-length gloves and white boots with yellow-green laces and soles. Her boots have rollerskate wheels embedded in the soles, though they are much less noticeable than her previous appearance.

As part of her goal to master Mega Evolution, Korrina carries many [[Mega Stone]]s on her person, embedding them in bandolier-like straps that wrap around her torso and waist. Like her Pokémon X and Y appearance, Korrina still embeds her Key Stone on the back of her left glove.

===History===
==== Pokémon X and Y ====
[[File:Korrina Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina about to battle the player]]
[[File:Korrina Tower of Mastery XY.png|thumb|250px|Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery]]
Korrina is a [[Gym Leader]] from [[Shalour City]]. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the {{badge|Rumble}}, along with {{TM|98|Power-Up Punch}}. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'' and an NPC at [[Café Action!]], she is a [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video]] star and often dresses up in costumes.

Korrina first appears on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when one of her Lucario comes up to the {{player}} while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's [[aura]], then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in [[Geosenge Town]], where she challenges the player to a battle with her two {{p|Lucario}}.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the [[Tower of Mastery]] with her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the [[Mega Ring]] against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the [[Battle Chateau]], Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for [[rematch]]es. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

=====Gym Freaks=====
:April: ''"Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She's cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costume-like clothing makes my heart go crazy! Lately, Korrina has been in the PR Video Studio! Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

:April: ''"Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She's cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costumes make my heart beat pit-a-pat! Her legs are so magnificent that her axe-kick move can shatter cave rocks into pieces! If I were her, I wouldn't need the HM. Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
{{spoilers}}
Korrina is indirectly mentioned by [[AZ]] in a letter he wrote to the player after the credits of the game. In his letter, AZ revealed that prior to the game's events, Korrina had given away a Lucario to him in hopes that it might keep him safe. After AZ passes away, his Lucario and the letter are left in the player's room in [[Hotel Z]].

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Korrina is called by [[Corbeau]] to [[Lumiose City]] to join [[Team MZ]] to help them solve the mysteries of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Korrina and her Lucario appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. The other members of her team are [[Cynthia]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

* Korrina is the only character to use a Mega Evolution that can be only be acquired through ranked battles as the [[Chesnaughtite]] can only be obtained in that way.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Tierno appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the [[first partner Pokémon]] sent through him by [[Professor Sycamore]]. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "[[dance moves]]", such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Tierno is first met in [[Aquacorde Town]], where he delivers the player and two of their friends a [[first partner Pokémon]] on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Santalune City]], where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, and then again on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, albeit this time with [[Trevor]]. Tierno is next met in [[Reflection Cave]], where he gives the player a TM containing {{m|Flash}}.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in [[Coumarine City]], asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a [[Heart Scale]] if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno does not appear in person in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, but an NPC mentions that he has traveled to [[Unova]] and is making waves as a dancer. It is also revealed in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC that [[Lida]] is his younger half-sister from another mother, though they've never met.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a [[friend]] character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}, which later [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Starmie}}.

==In the core series games==

===History===

==== Background ====
Lida is the younger half-sister of [[Tierno]], with the same father but different mothers, though she's never met him.<ref name=TiernoConfirmation/> She grew up in the [[Hoenn]] region.<ref name="Hoenn"/> Lida was inspired by her half-brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 25: A Showdown on the Battle Court]], Lida is given a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Starminite]] by AZ.

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* Lida's relation to [[Tierno]] is heavily implied before it was officially confirmed, through their many shared traits:
** They both possess a strong interest in dancing, their hairstyles feature dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands.
** Their partner Pokémon, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Corphish}}, are {{t|Water}} [[type]]s that gain a secondary type upon evolving.
** Lida's {{p|Clawitzer}} could be seen as a counterpart to Tierno's {{p|Crawdaunt}}, as both are crustacean Pokémon.
** Their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender".
** Lida having the {{p|Vanillite}} line may refer to Tierno's shirt, which features a Vanillite.
** Lida's battle pose is the same one Tierno does in X and Y.
*Lida and Tierno are the first characters in the series to be related who are confirmed to be half siblings rather then full siblings.
**They are also the only siblings to have never met each other.
* The [[Lida's Things|small pouch]] that Lida uses to carry her items during dance practice was handmade by [[Naveen]].
* In Japanese, Lida speaks in the {{wp|Kagoshima dialect}} while sleeptalking, which is spoken in the {{wp|Kagoshima Prefecture}} in {{wp|Kyushu}}. This parallels the fact that she is from the [[Hoenn]] region, which is partly based on Kyushu.
** Lida's partner Pokémon is her Staryu, which in Hoenn can only be found in [[Lilycove City]]. Lilycove City's location in Hoenn corresponds to the Kagoshima Prefecture.
** In the traditional Chinese localization, she speaks in a variety of Chinese that resembles {{wp|Cantonese}} or {{wp|Hakka Chinese|Hakka}}. In the simplified Chinese localization, she speaks in {{wp|Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese Mandarin}}.

'''Quasartico Inc.''' (Japanese: '''クエーサー社''' ''Quasar Company'') is a multinational organization operating in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, though it is stated in-game to have originated from abroad. The company established an office in the [[Magenta District]] of [[Lumiose City]] approximately 2 years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, having been appointed to lead the urban redevelopment plan.

[[Jett]] was the company's president, and [[Vinnie]] served as her secretary. The company specialises in the production and use of holo-tech barrier technology, which is used to establish [[wild zone]]s within Lumiose City. Quasartico Inc. also operates the [[Z-A Royale]], a tournament held at night, tempting Trainers with the promise of granting a wish to any competitor who reaches Rank A.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
{{spoilers}}
Following the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Lumiose City began to experience an exodus of citizens. In the hope of attracting new residents, the urban redevelopment plan was drafted to create a city that belonged to both people and Pokémon. The mayor was unable to recruit local businesses to undertake the project, so appointed Quasartico Inc. from abroad to carry out the plan.<ref>'''Jett:''' "After the incident five years ago, Lumiose City was hemorrhaging people, and property values were in freefall. This is why the urban redevelopment plan was established. But it was a risky venture. The mayor could not find businesses willing to take on the project. And so it fell to my company: Quasartico Inc." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The plan was met with some resistance by citizens of Lumiose, and beyond, but was generally supported.<ref>'''Jett:''' "There were concerns from some uneasy with the idea—even those with no ties to this city. Still, it was a noble undertaking, worth pursuing." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> At some point, Vinnie became acquainted with [[AZ]]. He introduced him to Jett, and two began heeding his advice.<ref>'''Jett:''' "It is thanks to Vinnie that I came to know of AZ." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

At the beginning of the game, Quasartico begins early renovation work on [[Prism Tower]], but a disturbance causes the tower to emit an energy known as [[Mega Power]]. The release of this energy causes wild Pokémon to be drawn to the city in droves, and prompts some to [[Mega Evolve]] on their own, becoming a phenomenon known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. At AZ's insistence, the company introduces the Z-A Royale to find the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user in Lumiose City. Competitors are lured with the promise of a wish being granted to any Trainer who reaches Rank A, provided it is within the company's ability to do so. AZ also taught the company on how to make [[Mega Ring]]s.<ref>'''Constance:''' "I've heard rumors—though they're just rumors, mind you—that some shady character taught Quasartico how to make [[Mega Ring]]s. Apparently, that person's name is...[[AZ]]." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

Quasartico begins working with [[Team MZ]], a group of youngsters residing at [[Hotel Z]], to investigate and pacify the Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon as they appear. The company closes Prism Tower to the public, and begins constructing a confinement structure around the building to contain the Mega Power being released. Jett appears in adverts broadcast on screens around the city to explain and reassure citizens of the works being carried out. Signboards are also posted encouraging citizens to break clusters of [[Mega Crystal]]s that have begun appearing throughout Lumiose City due to the release of Mega Power. Over the course of the main storyline, Quasartico gradually converts existing areas around the city into new wild zones. The company meets opposition from local citizens suspicious of the company's motives, notably from the [[Lumiose Safety Group]]. The containment around Prism Tower is slowly assembled, ultimately sealing the tower completely.

When the {{player}} reaches Rank V in the Z-A Royale, they must visit [[Vinnie]] at the company's headquarters on [[Magenta Street]], but are accosted by two security {{p|Dedenne}} at the entrance. Vinnie challenges the player and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], and promotes them both straight to Rank F so that they can better assist the company in resolving the Rogue Mega Evolution situation. At this point the interior of the headquarters may be visited, where a receptionist trades the player [[Mega Stone]]s in exchange for Mega Shards. The selection of available Mega Stones is expanded as the player increases their rank.

Later in the game, Jett reveals that the wild zones were not part of the initial redevelopment plan. The company only starting establishing them as a means to protect the city from wild Pokémon experiencing Rogue Mega Evolution. AZ reveals that 2,000-years prior, he created [[Ange]], a device hidden within the skeleton of Prism Tower that can bestow eternal life to other beings. He informs Team MZ of his belief that the device woke in response to the activation of the [[ultimate weapon]] five year prior. The reason he is seeking the strongest Mega Evolution user is so that they can Mega Evolve his {{p|Floette}} into Mega Floette and reach the control panel within Ange to shut it down.

At the conclusion of the main storyline, Ange unexpectedly fuses with Mega Floette to become Hyperrogue Ange Floette. It shatters the confinement structure and the Prism Tower itself, using the tower's internal skeleton as a body. The player and [[Zygarde]] defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette, and AZ subsequently passes away from natural causes, ending his involvement with the company.

Following these events, Quasartico begins to clean up the debris that had rained down upon the city, converting the ruins of Prism Tower and its surrounding grounds into [[Wild Zone 20]]. The player and Urbain/Taunie make their wish to Jett and Vinnie for reaching Rank A, which is to continue the Z-A Royale indefinitely. Vinnie reveals that AZ had made the same request to him before passing, and the company turns the competition into the Infinite Z-A Royale. Jett steps down from her position, and Urbain/Taunie is appointed the new president of Quasartico Inc.

==== [[Mega Dimension]] ====
When spatial distortions started appearing around Lumiose, Quasartico was still busy after the crisis with Ange, forcing the [[Rust Syndicate]] to take their place in helping Team MZ protect the city.{{endspoilers}}

==Trivia==
* It is not stated exactly where Quasartico Inc. originates from; however, there are possible connections to indicate it is [[Alola]]. The grounds of the Lumiose City headquarters features tropical flowers, and palm trees resembling [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}}. Additionally, Gridella, a Trainer with an Alolan {{p|Raichu}}, is encountered within the grounds.

'''Jett''' (Japanese: '''ジェット''' ''Jet'') is the CEO of [[Quasartico Inc.]] in [[Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She seemingly desires to deepen the bonds between [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through Quasartico's urban redevelopment plan. [[Vinnie]] is her secretary at Quasartico.

==In the core series games==
It is revealed in the postgame that Jett is the grandmother of [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]. Jett's estranged daughter was his/her mother, but because Jett hadn't spoken to her daughter in years she wasn't aware that she even had a grandchild. After discovering their relation, Jett appoints Urbain/Taunie as the new president of Quasartico Inc.

'''Taunie''' (Japanese: '''タウニー''' ''Townie'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. She is the female counterpart to [[Urbain]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Paxton}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Taunie likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although she may come on strong at times. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==Appearance==
Taunie is a young female with fair skin, royal blue eyes, bisque hair, and a standard build. She wears white shorts with a platinum gray belt along with a crimson sleeveless shirt under a beige jacket with navy blue buttons and top collar. Her footwear features navy blue heavy-duty high-top sneakers with pink laces.

==In the core series games==
Taunie's jacket is a memento from her late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. She came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for her grandmother, and at some point [[Emma]] helped her out while she was down on her luck. Taunie met [[AZ]] who allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

==Trivia==
*Taunie has the same hairstyle as [[Harmony]], the female player character in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
**The same is also true for her male counterpart [[Urbain]], who has the same hairstyle as Paxton.
*Taunie along with her male counterpart Urbain are the first and only [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters to use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the player on their teams. This is due to the fact that they owned all three of them prior to giving one of them to the player at the beginning of the game.
**This also makes them the first and only friend/rival characters to have both a first partner Pokémon with a type disadvantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon and a first partner Pokémon with a type advantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon at the same time.
*Taunie and Urbain are the only rivals in the core series that the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].
*Taunie, Urbain, and [[Korrina]] are the only non-player characters to have used a [[Level|level]] 100 Pokémon outside of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].
**Taunie and Urbain are the only non-player characters to have used a team solely composed of [[Level|level]] 100 Pokémon at any point.
**This also makes them the only non-player characters with the highest possible leveled Pokémon team in the core series (excluding trainers battled in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]).
*Taunie, Urbain, Korrina, and [[Emma]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon in a single battle.
