== Heya! ==
My name is Ivan Tokheim! I'm 16 years old I sing in two bands: [http://www.myspace.com/nitrittofficial] [http://www.myspace.com/babushkaband] and and I live for three things only: Playing music, Dark Cloud and '''Pokémon'''! :D

I've been a fan of the lovely pokémon as long as I can remember, being around only about a year more than this wonderful revolutionary franchise! But I started playing for realz when the 3rd (and worst) generation (with some [[Milotic|exceptions]]) was all the rage! Can't wait for the fifth :DDDDDDDDD

I also do alot of fanart on dA, check it out if interested^^ [http://u2ivan.deviantart.com/]

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Lance]] and {{EF|Drake}} of the [[Elite Four]]; [[Clair]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]; and [[Iris]] and [[Shaga]], the Gym Leaders of [[Souryuu City]].

}}

==Characteristics==
The Dragon type is statistically the best of all types overall. Many of them do not evolve from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50; {{p|Sazandora}} evolves at level 64, the highest of any Pokémon.

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. Even though only Dragon-type Pokémon themselves are weak to the Dragon type, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB.

Defensively, they have resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type Pokémon except {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Ononokus}} and {{p|Sazandora}} has a double weakness to {{type|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 29 Dragon-type Pokémon or 4.47% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{type2|Ice}} as the fifteenth most common elemental type, or effectively the second least common type just ahead of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; however, because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage.
** Also, {{p|Dratini}}'s family were the only Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].
* There are only thirteen Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Seven of these moves (more than half) have the word "dragon" in their names.
** Eight of those thirteen moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s. The only five that aren't were introduced in Generation {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, meaning that in Hoenn Contests, all Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that is weak to itself; the other is the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* The Dragon type is one of two types that have both never have been and will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that doesn't sport any weakness to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra.
* Dragon-type Pokémon are unique because they can all learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only Pokémon that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Arceus}} without the [[Draco Plate]]).
* Generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon.
** Additionally, generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon that are not [[pseudo-legendary]] nor {{pkmn2|legendary}}.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the only three-stage pure Dragon-type evolutionary line.
** Additionally, it is the only Generation to introduce a non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives.

Steel (type)

U2kheim: Added norwegian name

{{search|in-game type|the TCG type|Metal (TCG)}}
{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Steel|はがね|Steel}}
Some notable trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former champion of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]], [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]].

The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were retconned to be dual Electric/Steel Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
Defensively, Steel-types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. They have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special tank in battle. They are immune to {{type2|Poison}} attacks and are very tricky to inflict the Poison condition on. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their high Defense, but all 3 of the type's weaknesses are to the very common {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Ground}} types. Those defensive flaws are made up by the fact that only a small number of Steel-types are without another type. Their Special Defense is lower than their physical Defense, but is still reasonably high.

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}, both of which are rarely used defensively. There are only five pure Steel-type Pokémon and thus most have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage. Steel-type Pokémon have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in either the Physical field, such as {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Doryuuzu}}, and the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.
When used in contests, Steel-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 38 Steel-type Pokémon or 5.86% of all Pokémon, making it the fourteenth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Although the Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]], pure Steel-type Pokémon were not introduced until [[Generation III]].
* Out of all the types, Steel has the most resistances and the highest average {{stat|Defense}}.
* There were no 100% accurate Steel-type attacks until [[Generation IV]].
* Up until {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Weedle}} was completely unable to damage Steel-type Pokémon because the only damaging move it could learn was {{m|Poison Sting}}, and Steel-types are immune to {{type2|Poison}} moves. From Platinum onwards, Weedle is able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} via level-up, allowing it to do at least some damage (though {{t|Bug}} is still not very effective on most Steel-type Pokémon).
* Because of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s addition of their secondary Steel type in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Steel-type Pokémon introduced in each generation.
** Despite this, there are not Steel-type moves from each generation; Steel is the only type not assigned to a move introduced in Generation I.
* Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves cannot currently deal 4× damage.
* All Steel-type moves consist of two words.
* All offensive Steel-type moves target one foe.
* Steel is the only type that has a non-neutral type matchup with all seventeen types, considering both offense and defense.
* Each of the 3 starter types have a different effectiveness when attacking a Steel type Pokémon. Grass does 1/2× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Steel-types of any [[generation]], with 12.
* Every Steel-type specialist has used {{p|Skarmory}} in their final team.

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Evil}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Giima]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Zuruzukin}}, {{p|Barujiina}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], all three special Dark-type moves ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Bark Out}} and {{m|Night Burst}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Electric}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 95, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, Judgment becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
**The move {{m|Fling}} is an exception. Flinging a [[Valuable item#Rare Bone|Rare Bone]], a [[Type-enhancing item#Hard Stone|Hard Stone]], or any [[Fossil]] will give the move 100 base power, while flinging an [[In-battle effect item#Iron Ball|Iron Ball]] will result in 130 base power.
**In addition, the move {{m|Punishment}} can have a maximum base power of 200.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all five generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 95% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.
* So far, 9 Dark-type moves has been shown in the anime, the least of all elemental types.
* All Physical Dark type moves have either 100% accuracy or cannot miss the target.

U2kheim: Added norwegian name

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Ghost|ゴースト|Ghost}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shikimi]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four.

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[elemental types|elemental type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move{{tt|*|Changed to Ghost in Generation V}}, works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also the combination of {{t|Fighting}} and Ghost is unresisted by all possible type combinations, although a Normal/Ghost type combination would be immune to both.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}} type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, creating a weakness.

When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen elemental types.

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). From Generation II onwards, Ghost-type moves are indeed super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon and only 2 Psychic-type Pokémon, to date, are immune to Ghost ({{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Voice Forme) due to their combination {{t|Normal}}/Psychic typing.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or never miss.
* There has yet to be a Pokémon with a double weakness to Ghost, though multiple types are weak to it.
* As of Generation II, the Ghost type (along with {{t|Normal}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa), not including matchups of regular effectiveness. The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
* There has been exactly one notable trainer introduced in each Generation specializing in Ghost-types. Interestingly, all three [[Elite Four]] members ([[Agatha]], [[Phoebe]], and [[Shikimi]]) were introduced in odd-numbered Generations, and both [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Morty]] and [[Fantina]]) in even-numbered ones.
**For this reason, there are also no Ghost-type Gym Leaders in odd-numbered Generations, nor Ghost-type Elite Four members in even-numbered ones.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, most notably {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* In Generation V all Ghost types that were introduced can be affected by {{t|Ground}} type moves.
* The Ghost-type is super-effective against itself; this trait is shared with the Dragon-type.

}}

==Characteristics==
The Dragon type is statistically the best of all types overall. Many of them do not evolve from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50; {{p|Sazandora}} evolves at level 64, the highest of any Pokémon.

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. Even though only Dragon-type Pokémon themselves are weak to the Dragon type, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB.

Defensively, they have resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type Pokémon except {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Ononokus}} and {{p|Sazandora}} has a double weakness to {{type|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 29 Dragon-type Pokémon or 4.47% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{type2|Ice}} as the fifteenth most common elemental type, or effectively the second least common type just ahead of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; however, because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage.
** Also, {{p|Dratini}}'s family were the only Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].
* There are only thirteen Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Seven of these moves (more than half) have the word "dragon" in their names.
** Eight of those thirteen moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s. The only five that aren't were introduced in Generation {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, meaning that in Hoenn Contests, all Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that is weak to itself; the other is the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* The Dragon type is one of two types that have both never have been and will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that doesn't sport any weakness to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra.
* Dragon-type Pokémon are unique because they can all learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only Pokémon that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Arceus}} without the [[Draco Plate]]).
* Generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon.
** Additionally, generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon that are not [[pseudo-legendary]] nor {{pkmn2|legendary}}.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the only three-stage pure Dragon-type evolutionary line.
** Additionally, it is the only Generation to introduce a non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives.

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Lance]] and {{EF|Drake}} of the [[Elite Four]]; [[Clair]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]; and [[Iris]] and [[Shaga]], the Gym Leaders of [[Souryuu City]].

==Statistical averages==

}}

==Characteristics==
The Dragon type is statistically the best of all types overall. Many of them do not evolve from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50; {{p|Sazandora}} evolves at level 64, the highest of any Pokémon.

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. Even though only Dragon-type Pokémon themselves are weak to the Dragon type, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB.

Defensively, they have resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type Pokémon except {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Ononokus}} and {{p|Sazandora}} has a double weakness to {{type|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 29 Dragon-type Pokémon or 4.47% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{type2|Ice}} as the fifteenth most common elemental type, or effectively the second least common type just ahead of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; however, because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage.
** Also, {{p|Dratini}}'s family were the only Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].
* There are only thirteen Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Seven of these moves (more than half) have the word "dragon" in their names.
** Eight of those thirteen moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s. The only five that aren't were introduced in Generation {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, meaning that in Hoenn Contests, all Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that is weak to itself; the other is the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* The Dragon type is one of two types that have both never have been and will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that doesn't sport any weakness to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra.
* Dragon-type Pokémon are unique because they can all learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only Pokémon that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Arceus}} without the [[Draco Plate]]).
* Generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon.
** Additionally, generation V introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon that are not [[pseudo-legendary]] nor {{pkmn2|legendary}}.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the only three-stage pure Dragon-type evolutionary line.
** Additionally, it is the only Generation to introduce a non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives.

{{TypeNotice|Dragon|ドラゴン|Dragon}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Lance]] and {{EF|Drake}} of the [[Elite Four]]; [[Clair]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]; and [[Iris]] and [[Shaga]], the Gym Leaders of [[Souryuu City]].

==Characteristics==
The Dragon type is statistically the best of all types overall. Many of them do not evolve from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50; {{p|Sazandora}} evolves at level 64, the highest of any Pokémon.

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. Even though only Dragon-type Pokémon themselves are weak to the Dragon type, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB.

Defensively, they have resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type Pokémon except {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Ononokus}} and {{p|Sazandora}} has a double weakness to {{type|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 29 Dragon-type Pokémon or 4.47% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{type2|Ice}} as the fifteenth most common elemental type, or effectively the second least common type just ahead of the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Characteristics==
Bug {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are usually amongst the first Pokémon types a Trainer can find in the wild. They generally [[evolution|evolve]] at very early levels compared to most other Pokémon. The type varies from strong to weak. Depending on the Bug Pokémon, they can provide annoyance with stat altering moves or hit hard with attacks such as {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|X-Scissor}}, {{m|Signal Beam}} and {{m|Bug Buzz}}.

Offensively, they can be problematic. They can come in handy against {{t|Psychic}} and {{type2|Dark}}s, which are two types common in most teams, and also the very common {{type2|Grass}}, but many Grass-types are also Poison-typed which makes them neutral to Bug-type moves. The [[Generation I]] games weren't very kind to this type, having only three very weak damage-dealing moves, but many Pokémon of this type have improved over time. This improvement is lessened by the fact that too many types (six, falling one short of Grass) resist Bug-type moves for them to be a main form of dealing damage. Also, their advantage over Psychic-types is reduced due to the relatively common typing of Bug/Poison types. The fact that they are resisted by Poison, a popular defensive type, causes further problems (though many Poison types also have a subtype that is weak to Bug, such as Grass). In addition, their aforementioned advantage against Psychic-types is mitigated by the Psychic/Flying, Psychic/Fighting and Psychic/Steel types.
Despite these offensive flaws, the Bug-type pairs very effectively with {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ice}} because ,as of [[Generation V]], there {{p|Burungel|is}} {{p|Empoleon|only}} {{p|Tentacool|6}} {{p|Tentacruel|Pokémon}} {{p|Qwilfish|out}} {{p|Pururiru|of}} 649 resist this combination of moves.

Defensively, Bug-types are still flawed, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, multiplying their weakness to {{t|Rock}}. They resist {{t|Ground}} and even {{t|Fighting}}, two extremely powerful types, but Pokémon of both those types can also learn Rock-type moves to render the Bug type's resistance to them useless. Dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding double resistance to {{t|Fighting}}, which can make up for their slightly low {{stat|Defense}}. They also have a double resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves, meaning they would take very little damage from such notorious moves as {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an {{p|Nincada|extra slot in the party}}, {{p|Yanma|current moveset}}, {{p|Burmy|gender}}, {{p|Wurmple|personality values}}, {{p|Kurumayu|happiness}}, being traded with an {{p|Scyther|item}} or even with {{p|Kaburumo|a specific}} {{p|Chobomaki|Pokémon}}.

When used in [[contest]]s, Bug-type moves do not favor one [[contest category]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|63|65 if all three Wormadam forms are counted}} Bug-type Pokémon or {{tt|9.71 %|10.01 % if all three Wormadam forms are counted}} of all Pokémon, making it the sixth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Even though {{t|Flying}} is a common secondary type among Bug-type Pokémon, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}} {{p|Ulgamoth|are}} {{p|Genesect|not}} Flying types.
* Until Platinum, several Bug-type Pokémon, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}, were unable to learn any Bug-type moves. Each of them is now able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level, and Wormadam can learn {{m|Signal Beam}} by [[move tutor]].
* Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early. Reasons for that could be to give the player the opportunity of having a strong evolved Pokémon in the beginning in order to earn the Gym [[Badge]] more easily, and that insects in fact can increase their population in short periods of time. Ironically though, {{p|Ulgamoth}} evolves at level 59, the second highest level needed to evolve, only surpassed by {{p|Sazandora}}.
** Despite this, all but one of the very first Gyms are strong against Bug-types, as they specialize in {{t|Rock}} and {{type2|Flying}}s, and even the one that isn't has a chance to specialize in {{type2|Fire}}s.
* As of Generation II, the Bug type (along with the {{t|Fighting}} type) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).
** In Generation I, the Bug type and the {{t|Poison}} type also shared the same interaction: they were super-effective against each other. As of Generation II, Poison-type Pokémon now resist Bug-type moves, and Poison-type moves are neutral on Bug-types.
* The Poison type's now neutral matchup against Bug is likely based on insects adapting to Poison in real life.
* All mid-evolution Bug Pokémon are based on cocoons.
* {{m|String Shot}} is the only Bug-type status move that can miss.
* Generation V introduced the most Bug-types of any Generation, with 18.
** Additionally, Generation V is the first Generation to introduce a Bug-type Legendary; {{p|Genesect}}.
* All gym leaders and Elite Four members that specialize in Bug-types are male.
* Statistically, Bug types are the weakest, as most fully evolved Bug types have stats that aren't even close to 400. However, Generation V introduced Bug types with base stat totals over 500, including one at 600.

Rock (type)

{{TypeNotice|Rock|いわ|Rock}}
Notable trainers that specialize in the Rock type include [[Brock]], {{ka|Flint}} and [[Forrest]] of [[Pewter City]], [[Roxanne]] of [[Rustboro City]] and [[Roark]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. They are, notably, all the first [[Gym Leader]] encountered in their respective regions.

==Characteristics==
The Rock type is very risky defensively. Despite having an overall high {{stat|Defense}} on average, its weaknesses to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Fighting}} moves, commonly [[physical moves|physical]] in nature, take it down a notch. The fact that, at best, its {{stat|Special Defense}} is mediocre, combined with its weakness to the common {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Water}} moves, greatly decrease its ability to defend. Double weaknesses among Rock-types are very common. Rock/Steel Pokémon are doubly weak to Ground and Fighting, two common powerful types. Rock/Water Pokémon and Rock/Ground Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass and the latter is also doubly weak to the common Water (along with an extra weakness to the powerful Ice.) The fact that many Rock-types have bad Speed causes even further problems.Their resistance to Fire can now be made useless as many Fire-types movesets have been expanded in Generation IV to include Grass attacks. However, resistances to {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Fire}} help the Rock-type to hold it's own if it needs to. Moreover, it has gotten a boost in [[Generation IV]] due to {{m|Sandstorm}} increasing said lackluster Special Defense by 50% and the fact that Sandstorm is very common in many tiers, thanks to {{a|Sand Stream}} automatically casting a permanent Sandstorm.

Rock is one of the best types offensively. Being resisted by only three of the seventeen types, two of which are hindered by {{t|Fighting|their own bad defenses}} and {{t|Steel|relative scarcity}} helps it a lot, and the fact that {{p|Doryuzu|only}} {{p|Lucario|four}} {{p|Steelix|Poké}}{{p|Cobalon|mon}} out of 649 have a double resistance to Rock keeps its moves relatively effective. Double weaknesses to Rock are relatively common, with many {{type2|Bug}}s having one due to their secondary {{type2|Flying}}, while the typically high-powered {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}}s also do not fare well. As Pokémon of the three types that resist Rock typically can master Rock-type moves, this proves a quite versatile combination.

When used in contests, Rock-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cute Contest|Cute]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 47 Rock-type Pokémon or 7.24% of all Pokémon, making it the tenth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* If there were a hypothetical Pokémon of all 17 types, it would only be weak to Rock-type moves, due to the fact that there are more Pokémon types weak to it than Pokémon types that resist it, and that no types are immune to it.
* There were no pure Rock-type Pokémon in [[Generation I]].
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the Rock type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{type2|Electric}} attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-types were part Ground, and thus immune to Electric-types. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon (the then five [[fossil]]s) were actually weak to them.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{type2|Grass}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Steel}}.
**Coincidentally, Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception.
* Every known [[fossil]] Pokémon is part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* Every known Gym that specializes in the Rock type has been the first Gym that the player visits on his/her adventure.
**Similarly, each of these Gyms' Leaders has used {{p|Geodude}} as at least one of their Pokémon.
* Two Rock-type moves do not have secondary effects: {{m|Rock Throw|one}} in the Physical category and {{m|Power Gem|one}} in the Special.
* {{p|Regirock}} is the only pure Rock-type Pokémon that does not have any evolutionary relatives.

==Characteristics==
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ranculus}}). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 68 Psychic-type Pokémon or 10.48% of all Pokémon, making it the fifth most common elemental type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types).

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation.
* All legendary Pokémon except for {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Heatran}} learn at least one Psychic-type move by leveling up.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} would have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* Even though [[Aura]] and Psychic abilities aren't confirmed to be the same, one of [[Sabrina]]'s quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen suggests that Psychic abilities and Aura are at least similar to each other in description: "Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."
* All of Psychic's weaknesses (Bug, Ghost and Dark) are based on typical fears. This is most likely because fears can manipulate the mind.
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic type itself.
** However, a Psychic Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.
* One of the [[Sinnoh]] starters was said to be Psychic at first.

{{TypeNotice|Electric|でんき|Electric}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Electric-type Pokémon are [[Lt. Surge]] of [[Vermilion City]], [[Wattson]] of [[Mauville City]], [[Volkner]] of [[Sunyshore City]], and [[Kamitsure]] of [[Raimon City]].

==Characteristics==
Electric-type Pokémon often have decent {{stat|Speed}} and high {{stat|Special Attack}} stats. A handful of Electric-types have many resistances and few weaknesses. As a single type, Electric has more resistances than weaknesses. Some Electric-type Pokémon have high HP and fairly high {{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}, such as {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Magnezone}}. Also {{p|Shibirudon}}, a pure Electric-type Pokémon, has the ability {{a|Levitate}} effectively giving it no weaknesses.

In Contests, Electric-type moves are usually [[Cool Contest|Cool]]; no Electric-type move is considered [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Electric-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Dark}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, the Electric type has had some degree of exclusivity with Ash, as his {{AP|Pikachu}} was the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character up until {{an|Dawn}} captured {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]''.
* Each male Electric-type Gym Leader is seen wearing a military-style outfit; [[Lt. Surge]] wears a uniform reminiscent of that of {{wp|Vietnam War|Vietnam}} soldiers, [[Wattson]] wears what appears to be an aviator's jacket, and [[Volkner]] wears what appears to be a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
* Every generation has introduced at least one Electric-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters E, M, and P. Coincidentally, these letters, when put together, form the abbreviation for an {{wp|electromagnetic pulse|electricity-related phenomenon}}.
* In [[Generation III]], all Electric moves were [[Cool]] moves except for {{m|Charge}}.
* Generation V introduced the largest number of Electric-type Pokémon, a total of 11. Generation I introduced 9, Generation II introduced 8, Generation IV introduced 7 and Generation III introduced the fewest, only 4.

U2kheim:

"All types that resist the Flying-type are weak to Ground, and vice versa." - but Fire type is weak to ground and neutral to flying. Poison also is weak to Ground and neutral to flying. Numel and Camerupt are Fire/Ground, Nidoqueen and Nidoking are Poison/Ground. All of them are weak '''only''' to ground. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 17:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
:I think it means "all types that resist Flying are weak to Ground, and all types that resist Ground are weak to Flying." '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 17:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== Immunities ==

I could be wrong, but are all Pokemon that are immune to one of their own types part Ground-type? (Gligar, Gliscor, Landlos (immune to Ground attacks), Maggyo (immune to Electric attacks)? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 03:05, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

== Norwegian name ==
Any norwegian peeps here? If so, do you think the Norwegian type name is "jord" (soil) or "bakke" (ground). Some Norwegian booklets state differently, and I don't remember what they called it in the anime, what do you think? [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 00:05, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

{{TypeNotice|Electric|でんき|Electric}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Electric-type Pokémon are [[Lt. Surge]] of [[Vermilion City]], [[Wattson]] of [[Mauville City]], [[Volkner]] of [[Sunyshore City]], and [[Kamitsure]] of [[Raimon City]].

==Characteristics==
Electric-type Pokémon often have decent {{stat|Speed}} and high {{stat|Special Attack}} stats. A handful of Electric-types have many resistances and few weaknesses. As a single type, Electric has more resistances than weaknesses. Some Electric-type Pokémon have high HP and fairly high {{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}, such as {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Magnezone}}. Also {{p|Shibirudon}}, a pure Electric-type Pokémon, has the ability {{a|Levitate}} effectively giving it no weaknesses.

In Contests, Electric-type moves are usually [[Cool Contest|Cool]]; no Electric-type move is considered [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Electric-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Dark}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, the Electric type has had some degree of exclusivity with Ash, as his {{AP|Pikachu}} was the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character up until {{an|Dawn}} captured {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]''.
* Each male Electric-type Gym Leader is seen wearing a military-style outfit; [[Lt. Surge]] wears a uniform reminiscent of that of {{wp|Vietnam War|Vietnam}} soldiers, [[Wattson]] wears what appears to be an aviator's jacket, and [[Volkner]] wears what appears to be a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
* Every generation has introduced at least one Electric-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters E, M, and P. Coincidentally, these letters, when put together, form the abbreviation for an {{wp|electromagnetic pulse|electricity-related phenomenon}}.
* In [[Generation III]], all Electric moves were [[Cool]] moves except for {{m|Charge}}.
* Generation V introduced the largest number of Electric-type Pokémon, a total of 11. Generation I introduced 9, Generation II introduced 8, Generation IV introduced 7 and Generation III introduced the fewest, only 4.

==Characteristics==
Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses. (To compare, 21 Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass, while 66 Pokémon doubly resist it.)

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 75 Grass-type Pokémon or 11.56% of all Pokémon, making it the third most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* Although about a third of the Grass-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], only {{p|Tangela|one}} is a pure Grass-type.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
*Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Tamagetake}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat Green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** {{p|Exeggcute}} evolves into {{p|Exeggutor}}, the {{p|Tangela}} family is green when shiny, and the {{p|Shikijika}} family is green only in their summer forms.

Flying (type)

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Flying|ひこう|Flying}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Flying-type Pokémon are [[Gym Leader]]s [[Falkner]] of [[Violet City]], [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]], and [[Fuuro]] of [[Fukiyose City]].

Prior to Generation V, this type was the only one of the seventeen that was never seen as a pure type; {{p|Tornelos}} is the first pure Flying-type. Each other type, besides the {{type2|Fighting}}, has also been paired with the Flying type on at least one Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common {{type2|Ground}} move {{m|Earthquake}} and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}. However, the Flying type's weaknesses aren't uncommon and can often offset the benefits of immunity to Ground, especially due to many dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. However, most Flying-types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health. Flying-types usually have below average defense stats, making them vulnerable to most physical attacks, super effective or not.

Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]] and for their strength against {{type2|Fighting}}. The types Flying is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against aren't common. In their favor though, most fully evolved Flying-types have above-average {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Speed}} [[stats]]. However, having below average {{Stat|Special Attack}} makes such moves as {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Air Slash}} almost useless, unless used by Flying-type outliers with high Special Attack such as Togekiss or Yanmega.

Flying-type Pokémon that use the move {{m|Roost}} will temporarily lose their Flying-type. If a pure-Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{type2|???}} in [[Generation IV]] and a {{type2|Normal}} in [[Generation V]]—however, no Pokémon that is or can become pure-Flying-type can learn the move Roost.

When used in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Flying-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 84 Flying-type Pokémon, making it the third most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* The Flying type has been paired with every other type, except the {{type2|Fighting}}.
** Although Normal is not typically paired up with other types, it is the most common type paired with Flying.
** Every dual-typed Flying Pokémon has Flying as its secondary type.
* At least two Normal/Flying evolutionary lines and at least one Water/Flying Pokémon have been introduced in every generation so far.
* Strangely, all types that resist Flying (Electric, Rock and Steel) are weak to Ground and all types that resist Ground (Bug and Grass) are weak to Flying.
**However, because Flying-types are both immune to Ground and are not weak to Flying-types themselves, Ground and Flying do not create perfect type coverage (As all Electric/Flying, Rock/Flying, and Steel/Flying Pokémon resist them.)
* With the introduction of {{p|Shaymin}}'s Sky Forme, each generation has introduced at least one part-Flying legendary Pokémon.
* There has been a Flying-type Pokémon introduced in every generation whose name begins with the letters M and S.
* For each possible [[Elemental type|type]] combination with a double weakness to Flying, there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination. Bug/Grass consist of {{p|Paras|two}} {{p|Parasect|Pokémon}} in the same line, Wormadam Plant Cloak, and {{p|Kurumiru|three}} {{p|Kurumayu|more}} {{p|Hahakomori|Pokémon}} in an evolutionary line, while Grass/Fighting and Bug/Fighting consist of {{p|Breloom|three}} {{p|Virizion|single}} {{p|Heracross|Pokémon}}.
** The same is true for {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{type2|Psychic}}s.
* Several Flying-type moves have nothing to do with the action of flying. Several of them are actually based on what birds can do.
* Prior to Generation V, there were no pure Flying Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} holding a Sky Plate. Even with Generation V, there is only one, {{p|Tornelos}}.
* All damage-dealing Flying-type moves can hit non-adjecent Pokémon in triple battles.

Water (type)

2010-12-23T23:44:48Z

U2kheim: Added norwegian name

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Water|みず|Water}}
Notable [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Wallace]] and [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], and [[Corn]] of [[Sanyou City]].

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|

}}

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water-type, with the exception of Magikarp, can use {{type2|Ice}} moves to counter {{type2|Grass}}s (although Magikarp can learn one {{type2|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass-types), Electric is the only true threat to Water-types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question are part Ground like {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Gamageroge}} in which their Electric weakness is nullified but their Grass weakness is more effective, or if they are part Electric, like {{p|Chinchou}} and its evolutionary line. Water-types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type2|Grass}}s, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Rock}}s when traveling through [[caves]], etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water-type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water. (All of which are Water types themselves)

When used in contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 110 Water-type Pokémon or 16.95% of all Pokémon, making it the most common of the seventeen elemental types.

==Trivia==
* Of all seventeen types, the Water type is the most abundant, with 109 Pokémon species being Water-type, nearly 17% of the entire known [[National Pokédex]]. This may be a reference to how water is the most abundant substance on Earth, and how the majority of all species of life live in water.
* All [[Generation I]] Water-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}} moves, as no Water-types with a secondary type that neutralizes this weakness were introduced until [[Generation II]].
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters L, M, P, and S.
* Every main character in the anime (with the obvious exception of [[Max]], as well as {{an|Dent}} and {{an|Iris}}, as they were just introduced) has had at least one Water-type Pokémon.
* At least one dual-typed Water/Flying Pokémon has been introduced in each generation.
* Until [[Generation V]], every [[generation]] has had one main game whose version mascot is Water-type ({{p|Blastoise}} in [[Generation I]], {{p|Suicune}} in [[Generation II]], {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Generation III]], and {{p|Palkia}} in [[Generation IV]]).
* In each generation, just one non-damaging Water-type move has been added to the list of moves. {{m|Withdraw}} in [[Generation I]], {{m|Rain Dance}} in [[Generation II]], {{m|Water Sport}} in [[Generation III]], {{m|Aqua Ring}} in [[Generation IV]] and {{m|Waterlog}} in [[Generation V]].
* Each possible type combination that is doubly weak to Water has been used so far on at least one Pokémon: {{2t|Ground|Rock}} and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} are the most plentiful, while the other two combinations, {{2t|Fire|Ground}} and {{2t|Fire|Rock}}, consist of two Pokémon ({{p|Numel}} and {{p|Camerupt}}) and one Pokémon ({{p|Magcargo}}), respectively.
**The same is true for {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Water has been paired with all types except for {{t|Fire}}. This means it has been paired with the highest number of types, tied with the {{type2|Flying}}.
* Water is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of Double Edge or Overheat. Fire has {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Overheat}}, while Grass has {{m|Wood Hammer}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}. Even {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{t|Electric}} type has {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
* Water-type moves are boosted by the most [[held item]]s, with the [[Sea Incense]], [[Wave Incense]], [[Splash Plate]], and [[Mystic Water]] all doing so. {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Grass}} are the only other types that have more than two power enhancing held items.

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon are [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]], and [[Renbu]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several Trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is no longer an official Gym.

''Note:'' Although Fighting-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
As of [[Generation IV]], the Fighting type, along with {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Ground}}, is often considered a key offensive type in the game. In the past, the type was not as effective thanks to the power of the {{type2|Psychic}}s, but now their useful resistances and vast type coverage allow many Fighting-types to sweep freely.

Defensively, the Fighting type has cons and pros. Fighting-type Pokémon have key resistances to Dark and Rock, but their weaknesses are to the common Flying and Psychic types. They also usually fall to Psychic moves in one turn, due to a low Special Defense. However, several Fighting Pokémon (Like {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Zuruzukin}}, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Cobalon}}) have a subtype that rids them of the Psychic weakness. Also, resistance to {{t|Bug}} can sometimes assist Fighting types (Though Bug has that same resistance to Fighting).

Offensively, the Fighting type is very powerful. It hits five different types with super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the {{type2|Ground}}, with which it ties. It deals super-effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super-effective against Normal. It is super-effective against Ice, a key offensive but low defensive type. It is also one of the two types super-effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}/{{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the {{a|Scrappy}} ability. In the first three generations, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but this has changed with the introduction of {{m|Close Combat}} and increased availability of moves such as {{m|Superpower}}. It should be noted that the offensive combination Fighting/Ghost is resisted by no Pokémon, as only the theoretical typing of Normal/Ghost will be able to resist it. The Fighting type also pairs up well with the {{t|Dark}} type offensively as {{p|Croagunk|only}} {{p|Toxicroak|three}} {{p|Heracross|Pokémon}} currently resist a Fighting/Dark combination.

When used in contests, Fighting-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]], but can also be of two other Contest categories. No Fighting-type moves are of the [[Cute Contest|Cute]] category.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 41 Fighting-type Pokémon or 6.32% of all Pokémon, making it the eleventh most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], the Fighting type is the only type that has not been paired with the {{t|Flying}} type.
* All of the [[legendary golems]], including {{p|Regigigas}}, are weak to Fighting-type moves.
* No Fighting-type move can hit both foes in a double battle (or, of course, all three in a triple battle).
* Along with the {{t|Ground}} type, Fighting-type moves are super effective against the most Pokémon types: five.
* Fighting is the only type to have two variations of {{m|Quick Attack}}: {{m|Mach Punch}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
** It is also the only type to have a special variation of Quick Attack.
* All non-damaging moves of the Fighting type involve some form of defense.
* As of [[Generation II]], the pair of the Fighting type and {{t|Bug}} type is one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other which isn't neutral (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon in every generation.
* Color representations for the Fighting type have generally been inconsistent in various Pokémon media. While the Fighting type has been associated with the color red in the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], it is associated with the color orange in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], and with the color brown in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* Fighting is the only formerly all Physical type not to have any of its moves changed into Special moves. All of its Special moves were introduced after the Physical/Special split was retooled.
** They are also the generations to introduce a Fighting-type [[Elite Four]], as [[Bruno]] retained his status as an Elite Four member for Generation II.
* Fighting is the most common secondary type for evolutions of starter Pokémon, with three starter lines being paired with it, all of the {{type2|Fire}}.
* [[Generation V]] is the first Generation to contain Fighting-type [[legendary Pokémon]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is the only non-legendary Fighting-type Pokémon whose {{stat|Special Attack}} is greater than its {{stat|Attack}}.
* Generation V introduced the most Fighting-type Pokémon, with 16 introduced, including {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme.
** [[Generation II]] introduced the least Fighting-type Pokémon, with 3 introduced.
* All Fighting-type Pokémon have footprints.

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

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

Offensively, Fire is very powerful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more. While Fire is resisted by only four types, two types are hindered by {{t|Rock|their own bad special defenses}} and {{t|Dragon| relative scarcity}} therefore keeping their moves rather valuable. While Fire is not very effective against Rock and Dragon-types, many fire attacks can burn, therefore halving their attack. Fire types often have below average defense stats, but high speed, and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon. Fire is super effective against four types; only Ground and Fighting surpasses it. It ties with Ice and Rock, even though double weaknesses to Ice and Rock are slightly more common. However, Fire is the only type that can cause {{p|Paras|quintuple}} {{p|Parasect|damage}}, due to the combination of a double weakness and the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}.

Quantity-wise, Fire-types are rare, with only 26 fully evolved Pokémon among the total amount of 48, of which there are six [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] and five [[starter Pokémon]]. Technically, this means that only fifteen Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto Pokédex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time). When used in contests, Fire-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Tough Contest|Tough]] or [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 48 Fire-type Pokémon or 7.40% of all Pokémon, making it the ninth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], all fifteen Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* In the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* As of Generation IV, every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Rapidash|forms}} of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-type Pokémon) are placed in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Red}} color category, as no orange category exists.
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] attribute uses a similar shade of orange that represents the Fire type, despite being described as red in-text. Strangely, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* With 5 resistances, the Fire type has the second most resistances of all types, falling 6 short of the {{type2|Steel}}'s 11 resistances.
* So far, [[Generation III]] is the only generation not to have introduced at least one Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
* Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras|Paras}} family's double weakness to fire paired with their ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}, which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves.
* Generation V has introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 15 introduced, not counting {{p|Hihidaruma}}'s second form or {{p|Rotom}}'s Heat Form.

{{TypeNotice|Normal|ノーマル|Normal}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Normal-type Pokémon are [[Gym Leader]]s [[Whitney]] of [[Goldenrod City]], [[Norman]] of [[Petalburg City]], and [[Aloe]] of [[Shippou City]].

==Statistical averages==

==Battle properties==
{{typebattle
|type=Normal
|weakto1=Fighting
|noeffect1=Ghost
|resisted1=Rock
|resisted2=Steel
|unaffected1=Ghost
}}
''Note:'' Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and {{type2|Fighting}} moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move {{m|Struggle}} can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
The Normal type is considered to be one of the best types defensively, as it has only a single weakness and one immunity. Having only one weakness makes up for its lack of resistances, as it causes only the [[stats]] of the Pokémon to be involved in determining damage, and many Normal-type Pokémon have high stats defensively. Offensively, the type performs similarly. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves, and one type which is immune. When facing Pokémon with no resistance to their moves, Normal-type Pokémon can often deal high amounts of damage with a combination of high stats and [[same-type attack bonus]].

The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Voice Forme, which are Normal/{{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, which is Normal/{{t|Water}}, {{p|Shikijika}} and {{p|Mebukijika}}, which are Normal/{{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme, which is Normal/{{t|Fighting}}.

Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them. Most can learn at least one move of the {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} types, for example.

There are also many Normal-type Pokémon that rely on an unusual "gimmick" strategy; these include {{p|Ditto}}, the {{p|Porygon}} family, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Thus, the Normal type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.

When used in contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular contest type.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 97 Normal-type Pokémon or 14.95% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common elemental type, behind {{t|Water}}.

''Note: {{m|Sand-Attack}} was a Normal-type move in [[Generation I]].''

==Trivia==
* With 152 moves, the Normal type has the most [[move]]s.
* There are 11 Normal-type moves with a power of 100 or more, more than any other elemental type.
* Excluding moves of varying power, the most powerful and the most ineffective moves are both of the Normal-type. They are {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Constrict}}, respectively.
* Every generation has introduced Normal-type Pokémon with names that begin with the letters C, T, and S.
* No type is weak to Normal-type moves, making the Normal type the only type that is not {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against anything.
* There are no Pokémon that have Normal as a secondary type.
* As of Generation II, the Normal type (along with {{t|Ghost}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other that isn't normal damage (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
* The Normal-type has more non-damaging moves than any type, with 77 of them.
* There are currently no Normal-type Pokémon with a double weakness (as nothing aside from Flying, Water, Grass, Psychic, and Fighting has been paired with it).
*{{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Shikijika}}, {{p|Mebukijika}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme are the only Normal dual-type Pokémon that retain their weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
*There are three Normal-type Pokémon that evolve into {{type2|Water}} Pokémon: {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Bidoof}}.
*The Normal type has the fewest elemental relations, with only 4 (excluding neutral): Rock, Steel, Ghost, and Fighting.
*Normal type pokémon have the highest average HP stat(likely given a large boost by the Chansey family).

''Note:'' Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and {{type2|Fighting}} moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move {{m|Struggle}} can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
The Normal type is considered to be one of the best types defensively, as it has only a single weakness and one immunity. Having only one weakness makes up for its lack of resistances, as it causes only the [[stats]] of the Pokémon to be involved in determining damage, and many Normal-type Pokémon have high stats defensively. Offensively, the type performs similarly. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves, and one type which is immune. When facing Pokémon with no resistance to their moves, Normal-type Pokémon can often deal high amounts of damage with a combination of high stats and [[same-type attack bonus]].

The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Voice Forme, which are Normal/{{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, which is Normal/{{t|Water}}, {{p|Shikijika}} and {{p|Mebukijika}}, which are Normal/{{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme, which is Normal/{{t|Fighting}}.

Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them. Most can learn at least one move of the {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} types, for example.

There are also many Normal-type Pokémon that rely on an unusual "gimmick" strategy; these include {{p|Ditto}}, the {{p|Porygon}} family, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Thus, the Normal type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.

When used in contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular contest type.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 97 Normal-type Pokémon or 14.95% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common elemental type, behind {{t|Water}}.

''Note: {{m|Sand-Attack}} was a Normal-type move in [[Generation I]].''

==Trivia==
* With 152 moves, the Normal type has the most [[move]]s.
* There are 11 Normal-type moves with a power of 100 or more, more than any other elemental type.
* Excluding moves of varying power, the most powerful and the most ineffective moves are both of the Normal-type. They are {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Constrict}}, respectively.
* Every generation has introduced Normal-type Pokémon with names that begin with the letters C, T, and S.
* No type is weak to Normal-type moves, making the Normal type the only type that is not {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against anything.
* There are no Pokémon that have Normal as a secondary type.
* As of Generation II, the Normal type (along with {{t|Ghost}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other that isn't normal damage (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
* The Normal-type has more non-damaging moves than any type, with 77 of them.
* There are currently no Normal-type Pokémon with a double weakness (as nothing aside from Flying, Water, Grass, Psychic, and Fighting has been paired with it).
*{{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Shikijika}}, {{p|Mebukijika}}, and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Step Forme are the only Normal dual-type Pokémon that retain their weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
*There are three Normal-type Pokémon that evolve into {{type2|Water}} Pokémon: {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Bidoof}}.
*The Normal type has the fewest elemental relations, with only 4 (excluding neutral): Rock, Steel, Ghost, and Fighting.
*Normal type pokémon have the highest average HP stat(likely given a large boost by the Chansey family).

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ice-type Pokémon are [[Lorelei]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Pryce]] of [[Mahogany Town]], [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Candice]] of [[Snowpoint City]], and [[Hachiku]] of [[Sekka City]].

==Characteristics==
The Ice-type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, making it weak to moves such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. Even with a second type, [[Rotom (Pokémon)|all but]] [[Froslass (Pokémon)|two]] Ice-type Pokémon have more weaknesses than resistances and immunities.

Offensive-wise, because only two non-Ice-types doubly resist Ice ({{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Heatran}}), Ice is alongside {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fighting}} as one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double weaknesses to Ice are the most common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s, whose final forms are almost all doubly weak). Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves.

When used in contests, Ice-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while some may be [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 29 Ice-type Pokémon or 4.47% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Dragon}} type as the fifteenth most common elemental type, or effectively the second least common type just ahead of the {{t|Ghost}} type.

==Trivia==
* Although the Ice-type existed since Generation I, pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]].
* Thirteen of the fifteen Ice-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only two that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Ice-type moves were Beauty moves.
* Only the Normal-type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice-type, having no resistances (but one immunity). Ice only resists itself.
* All types that are weak to Ice have been combined with it on at least one Pokémon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member who specializes in the Ice introduced in each generation.
** All three of the Ice-type specialists who are [[Gym Leader]]s, Pryce, Candice, and Hachiku, are the seventh Gym Leaders in their respective region.
* Despite {{t|Fire}} being strong against Ice, and {{t|Electric}} being neutral to Ice, in [[Generation I]], there are actually more Ice-type Pokémon that are weak to Electric than Ice Pokémon that are weak to Fire. This is largely due to the fact that most Ice-type Pokémon in that generation are also part {{t|Water}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Ice-types, with seven introduced, not including {{p|Rotom|Frost Rotom}}'s newly changed typing.
** Generation V also introduced the most pure Ice-types, with six new Pokémon. [[Generation III]] introduced three, [[Generation IV]] introduced one, while Generations I and [[Generation II|II]] introduced the fewest, with zero apiece.
** Every Ice-type introduced in Generation V is a pale blue color. It is the only generation in which this happens.
*As of [[Generation IV]], all unevolved Pokémon that evolve into an Ice-type have names that start with the letter S. The exception is {{p|Eevee}}.

{{TypeNotice|Poison|どく|Poison}}
Notable Trainers that specialize in Poison-type Pokémon include [[Koga]], [[Aya]] and [[Janine]] of [[Fuchsia City]], all of whom are related. Some villainous teams, such as [[Team Rocket]], also frequently use Poison-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
When used defensively, the Poison type is considered one of the best in the game. This is because of its ability to block or cause [[status ailment]]s and resist common moves. Its obvious weakness, {{m|Earthquake}}, can be mitigated by the variety of dual-typed {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}/Poison Pokémon, as well as the {{p|Zubat}} family's {{t|Flying}} type and the {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Koffing}} families' {{a|Levitate}}. Additionally, the Poison type resists itself, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and Grass, giving it resistances to common moves such as {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|X-Scissor}}, and {{M|Close Combat}}. Moreover, Poison-types tend to hold potent status and support moves, such as {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Toxic}}. Immune to {{status|Poison}} and Toxic Spikes themselves, they have an opportunity to absorb status effects as well. [[Koga]]'s words of "confusion, sleep, poison" describe the Poison type very well.

Offensively, Poison moves are only suggested for inflicting the Poison condition, [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] or using support moves. Its only strength, which is against the Grass-type is largely mitigated by the variety of Grass/Poison Pokémon as well as {{p|Torterra}}'s {{t|Ground}} and the {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Cradily}}'s {{t|Rock}}. {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Flying}} are much more useful in countering the Grass-type. Also, Poison moves are not very effective on Poison, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, Ground, and completely ineffective against {{t|Steel}}. Hence, resistances to Poison are far more common than weaknesses to it. Poison moves are better off used for longer battles than they are for attempting to defeat an opponent with one blow.

When used in contests, Poison-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cute Contest|Cute]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 57 Poison-type Pokémon, making it the eighth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
*With the exception of {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there has yet to be a Poison-type [[legendary Pokémon]].
**As of Generation V, the Poison type is the only type that remains not to have another Legendary Pokémon of its type in existence.
*Since Generation II, Poison is one of three types (aside from {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Normal}}) that can never be doubly [[Damage modification#Super effective|super effective]] against any Pokémon because it is only super effective against one type, the {{type2|Grass}}. However, back in the first generation, where Poison was also super effective against {{t|Bug}}, Poison was doubly super effective against the {{2t|Bug|Grass}} combination of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}.
*Poison was the most common type in [[Generation I]]; even as of [[Generation V]], over half of the Poison-type Pokémon currently known were introduced in the first generation.
**Ironically, there were only four Poison type Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]], equal to the {{t|Steel}} type and higher than the {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dragon}} types, which received three, one and one respectively.
*In [[Generation I]] Poison was [[Damage modification#Super effective|super effective]] against the {{type2|Bug}}, while the Bug-type was super effective against Poison. This trait has never been shared with any other type match-up, and is likewise no longer true.
*The Poison type is the only one of the original 15 types not mentioned in the song [[2.B.A. Master]]. Instead, the "Flame-type" (which doesn't exist) is mentioned.
*A Pokémon of every type ''except'' Poison was added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}}.
*Only odd numbered generations have introduced pure Poison-type Pokémon so far.
**Also, every such generation has a two stage family of blob-shaped pure Poison-types: {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} in the first generation, {{p|Gulpin}} and {{p|Swalot}} in the third, and {{p|Yabukuron}} and {{p|Dasutodasu}} in the fifth.

Serebii and Pokébeach are '''NOT OFFICIAL SOURCES'''. The webmasters themselves say their information is not confirmed and should not be taken as fact. The games are about to be released in a week, please be wary of all new information, rumors, and speculation that have unconfirmed or unofficial sources. This goes for all fansites. Bulbanews is also not an official source, but we will post all information '''with sources''' to their respective official location. Thanks for understanding.

==Any References?==

==Jumping the Gun a bit?==
Are you guys sure we aren't looking into this a bit too far? All we have for clues are that they announced a new game and a new *something*. Not to mention it says it's gonna be new on the DS. What's to be sure of all of that? For all we know, the new game could be MindCrystal, the silhouette could be a new Forme like the last 5 that were announced. The new game could be a wii sequel to Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness. If we can't even have Pokemon evolved editing pages when they're in the titles of episodes, why can we just up and announce a new generation? I mean, Pokebeach even said the silhouette isn't Z, what makes anyone certain it's Generation V?[[User:SLE_aman|SLE_]][[User:SLE_aman/talk|aman]] 11:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:What does Pokebeach have to do with anything? We know this is Gen V because Masuda SAID it is a new Pokémon. Nothing in this article says that this Pokémon is Z. Because we don't know that. All we know is that it is a new Pokémon. To think otherwise... well, you're in denial big time. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
::The original announcement talked about the popularity of Diamond and Pearl before saying this game will be set in a new region with new Pokémon. What more evidence do you need? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 12:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, technically, the RPG announcement never explicitly said it would be main series. Even though Generation V Pokémon were hinted, it was never explicitly said that it was the full-fledged generation. It also never explicitly said it would be a pair, either. There are RPGs other than the main series, and they could use a side-series RPG to give Generation V-based cameos to increase anticipation for the full-fledged generation to come at a later date (much like Mystery Dungeon 1 did). Recent announcements pretty much excludes the possibility of it being a Ranger 4, but it's still possible that it could be a Mystery Dungeon 5 or something completely different than anything we've seen before. My [[$1|2¢]]: Odds are the TBA 2010 thing is not for the full-fledged Generation V. Especially if the RPG announcement turns out to be for a single. They've faked us out before, and even if the silhouette does turn out legitimate, it's probably still too early to be thinking full-fledged Generation V. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Actually, I've seen a subb'ed version. Masuda specifically said "We're working on a new generation of pokémon" --[[User:Camzoman]]
::::Yeah. And nowhere in that did it explicitly say that was the TBA 2010 project. They can be working on a new generation of Pokémon, yet still announce and release side games relating mainly to the previous generation. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Camzoman, where exactly did you see this subbed version? I did not hear Masuda mention a "new generation" anywhere in the video - what he said was "we're developing a brand-new work for Pokemon." However, I don't think there's any denying at this point that it is indeed the new generation. The [http://www.corocoro.tv/pokerelease/index.html Corocoro site] doesn't seem to be implying that this is a side game (not that Game Freak makes side games to begin with). It's a new version(s), with a new setting, new Pokemon, new features... sounds like a new generation to me. :/ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 19:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

== Generation V Pokémon Infobox, anyone? ==

I know you'll probably all find this pointless, but I decided to throw together a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenV|temporary infobox]] to use for the Generation V Pokémon articles. It's basically a stripped-down version of the regular infobox that leaves out all the fields for any technical stuff (Egg groups, EXP yield, Gender ratios, etc.) that's unlikely to be revealed until ''Pokémon V'' comes out later this year. I also created a [[User:Quagbert/Z (Pokémon)|user-subpage for the silhouetted mystery Pokémon]] that uses a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenVNoncat|non-categorizing version]] of this template.

Alright, these two Pokémon have been offically confirmed by the leaked CoroCoro scans, but apparently it's still considered too early to put up the Bulbapedia articles for them. Is there some additional form of conformation that we're waiting for?

== New Pokémon template ==

Based partly on the {{template|DP episode}} template, I've decided to make a [[Template:NewPokémon|new Pokémon template]] to use the next time a new Pokémon is revealed. The code would go like this:
<pre>
{{subst:NewPokémon|main|Jp. Katakana name|Romanized Jp. name|
typen= (number of types) |
type1= (first type) |
type2= (second type) |
pron= (name's pronunciation) |
jspecies= (species in Japanese) |
species= (species, aka "____ Pokémon")
image= (filename of image) |
caption= (caption for said image) |
height-m= (height in meters) |
weight-kg= (weight in kilograms) |
prev= (previous Pokémon's (i.e. pre-evolution) name, Arceus by default) |
prevnum= (previous Pokémon's National Dex #, 493 by default) |
next= (next Pokémon's (i.e. evolved form) name, Bulbasaur by default) |
nextnum= (next Pokémon's National Dex #, 001 by default) |
}}
</pre>
Those who want to use this template for their own userspace should replace "main" in the top line with "user", so that those user sub-pages aren't categorized with the genuine Pokémon articles in the main space. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 01:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

== Take away part in introduction ==

It says that it is unknown whether the new games will be contemporaneous with any of the other games. I beg to differ. Pokemon Sunday officially stated that Zoroark lives in a "New Area". Or is it just saying that it is unknown whether it will be possible to travel to another region? Spenfen

Here's the image from Pokémon Sunday: [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 01:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC) [[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|right]]

I can guess that the Grass Type is a Bird of Parodise Pokemon, as in the plant 'Bird of Parodise,' and also they had already done Bird based starters for [[Torchic|Fire]] and [[Piplup|Water]], and not yet Grass. If this could be true when revealed, then it will certainly complete the Bird Starters just like the Lizard Starters of [[Treeko|Grass]],[[Charmander|Fire]] and [[Totodile|Water]].
The Fire Type could may as well be a piglet for it's curley tail, and the Water Type could be another Amphibian Pokemon like [[Mudkip]]. These are just guesses, but what do you think? [[User:Cynthia149]] 17:07, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

isnt lupine for wolves Iirc ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC))
: Dogs are in the same family as wolves. Canis Lupus, the dog is only further distinguished by Canis Lupis familiaris. But even still Canine could refer to Canidae which is what Foxes/Dogs/wolves are in. The only difference is Foxes are further classified as "Vulpine" and if we follow suit, dogs/wolves would be Lupine not Canine. And it did say some foxes (while not true foxes) could still be under the Canis Genus if that's where the Canine name comes from. But again while Canine might refer to dogs specifically, isn't that more of a general consensus, rather than a scientific consensus? I'm going scientific here, if people want to be so correct with the whole Vulpine/Canine argument. -[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 19:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== On the use of unconfirmed information ==

<strike>We seem to have taken a whole bunch of unconfirmed information as fact here, and as it's generally not Bulbapedia policy to do so, it somewhat bothers me.

For the record, here is a list of information, much of which has been added to Bulbapedia, that I have not seen in the CoroCoro pages or any other official source (though if you have official sources with this that I have missed, please, by all means, link me):
*The name "Tsutaaja," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Grass-type
*The name "Pokabu," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Fire-type
*The name "Mijumaru," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Water-type
*"Hiun City"
*Zoroark's ability, "Illusion"
*Those two new attacks whose names I can't be bothered to remember right now (Trickery and Claw Sharpen or something?)
*The method by which to obtain Zoroark
I have seen ''none'' of this come from official sources, only from fansites, blogs, and forums. (Hell, I could have sworn that I saw some of this in a 2ch speculation thread back in March.) The justification to their validity seems to be that the random anonymous person who posted this information on 2ch was right about other information before it was leaked, so he must be right now - but that reasoning hasn't been enough in past cases, has it?

I really wish we had kept the above-mentioned facts off of Bulbapedia until they were confirmed, but here they are. I personally think they should be removed (and the starters' pages moved into TTE's userspace or something) until they are confirmed, but a reasonable compromise, I think, would be to tag all articles that mention this information with an "unconfirmed" tag of some sort (I seem to remember a template for one, though I can't find it now...).

:::Yes, according to the new Iwata Asks[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index.html#list] there is going to be both a hiragana mode and a kanji mode. I suggest changing "''Kanji are now used in game menus and text, in addition to the hiragana and katakana used in the previous four generations.''" to something like "''Aside from the usual game menus and text in {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}}, there is now also the option of a {{wp|kanji}} mode. While hiragana and katakana made the Pokémon series accessible to elementary school kids, the optional texts mixed with kanji now also make the games easier to pick up for older teens and adults.''" As opposed to the present version, this makes clear that there is the '''option''' of kanji, and explains the effects of the new kanji mode to those unknown to the Japanese writing system. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 12:46, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Named after colors ==

Trivia mentions that black and white are colors, technically they're not colors. I think it should be reworded to say that the titles were the first since Generation I (or II, since gold and silver can be colors) to not be named after a gemstone or a mineral. [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 18:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
:Technically, they '''are''' colors. Technically, they are not hues - they are shades. This terminology is used in most artistic endeavors, except lighting, where white and black are the presence or absence of light, but that's neither here nor there. These are colors. However, I agree that silver and gold are also colors, but I think it's pretty clear what was meant in the article. [[User:Jazzmoth|Jazzmoth]] 14:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== Colours ==

Wow, this is totally random and pointless, but I wanted to point out that the thing about these being the first games named after colours since G1 is inaccurate. All the games have been based off of colours, however, those colours also tend to be other things (metals and gems, etc.). For example, silver is a colour, gold is a colour, ruby is bright red, as it's counterparts sapphire and emerald to blue and green respectively, and so forth. I just think that it's kinda pointless to put that information int he trivia when it's not exactly true. But feel free to debate with me, I'm open for people trying to change my mind. :D

:2. "Pokémon Gre(a)y" was never confirmed

::Just how Generation III was the Advanced Gen, why isnt this the Rebirth Gen? That is what is really is. They are having fresh new starts. Also, monochrome only applies to three games. Speculation shows that we have high chances of getting an Emerald remake (ranberth at youtbue has evidenece). In 2012, 10 anivesity; they like to remake at that time. Also, im reseaching that we might get more Gen I remakes due to 15th anivesrity. The biggest hint is that every region has included Kanto.Here is my guess...

::*2011-Black and White
::*2012-Grey
::*2012-Emerald remake
::*2013-Gen I remakes

== The fan name is wrong ==

The page says they call it the "monochrome generation".I am an Art Major at Lord Fairfax Community College,and that name makes no sense.Monochrome "only 1 color".There are 2 versions,and also black and white are not colors.They are refered to as neutrals in art(which is the only side that has an argument in color).Also,black is the abscense of color,and white is the combination of all percieved color.That name is completely inaccurate,and should be removed from the article because it does not really relate. {{unsigned|Slyver333}}
:According to Wikipedia's article on {{wp|Monochrome}}, "For an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black-and-white or, more likely, grayscale..." Therefore monochrome is not incorrect here. Also, if it's here, it probably means it was used on some Japanese fansite--just because it's not "right" in art, doesn't mean it can't be used as a fan term. --[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 02:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
::Plus, black and white ARE colors - they aren't hues, but they are colors. In art terms, they are technically called shades and tints, respectively. Black is a shade of any color, and white is a tint of any color. As long as you're not talking about light, that makes them both colors. (When discussing colors of light, it is acceptable to refer to white as a combination of all frequencies, and black as the absence of all frequencies, but we're not in optics.) I don't know what you're art teachers are telling you, Slyver, but I'd double check your facts before trying to correct people. Different schools of thought use different terminology, and although I've never heard of the terms you use, I know the ones I learned are widely accepted. Long story short, monochrome is an acceptable term for this generation. (Monochrome can also refer to any range of shades, tints, and tones that have a single hue as their base.)

== Anthing for Trivia? ==

1.I think that with the information we have so far, we should be able to come up with some stuff for the section, at least for when it becomes editable to regular users. I noticed that this is the first Generation to not have a game where you (presumably) can't go to the Kanto region (as in Generation III, there are the Gen. I remakes, Generation IV has HeartGold and SoulSilver, where you can visit Kanto after beating the Elite Four).

2. I was wondering if anyone thinks they may make a Ruby/Sapphire remake, because Gen. III wasn't that much less advanced in terms of graphics and mechanics, so making a remake would be somewhat pointless, as you could just as easily buy the original, and considering they would have to put a lot of work into making a game that would be more or less the same in most ways(you can tell the added material in LG/FR and HG/SS is obviously needed or at least very different).

3. The new Japanese commercials for Black & White reveal another new team (as expected) and what looks like some sort of conversation thing where you get an up close look who you're talking to. Any comments?

Please respond if you would like. --[[User:BeeBwakka|BeeBwakka]] 23:43, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Stadium 2 makes available a special {{p|Gligar}} that knows Earthquake, a move it cannot have legally otherwise in [[Generation II]].
* In Generations III and IV all of the final evolved starters could learn Earthquake by TM26.
**However, {{game|Black and White|s}} broke this tradition, with only one final evolved starter of the [[Unova]] region, {{p|Enbuoh}}, being able to learn Earthquake by any method.
* Tyranitar is the only Pokémon who learns Earthquake by leveling up to not gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] when used.
* This move caused, for the first time ever, [[AG101 (unaired)|an episode]] being banned in Japan first, due to the {{wp|2004 Chuetsu earthquake}}s having struck the country a couple of weeks before the episode in question was intended to air.
** Earthquake has not been used or seen in the anime since.
* Earthquake has the highest fixed attack power of any move with 100% accuracy and no drawbacks (tied with {{m|Judgment}} and {{m|Psycho Break}}). This is mitigated by the sheer number of Pokémon immune to ground type moves by being {{type2|Flying}} or having {{a|Levitate}}.

U2kheim:

Isn't this a move variation of Earthquake? [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 00:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:Nope. They differ in category and target. --[[User:Blow|Blow]] '''([[User talk:Blow|話す]])''' 02:40, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::Ah, OK I see, but the category may still differ even though it's a move variation; For example Mirror Coat and Counter :) [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 12:01, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:::However, as Blow indirectly said, Psycho Break is differs from EQ by damaging target using its defense.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 12:13, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Also, I believe Mirror Coat and Counter are a special case, because both are counter moves, being the first for Special moves and the second for Physical moves. They could create a Physical move that counter Special moves (or vice-versa), but I think it's natural to use a Special move to counter a Special move. Finally, look at the flavor text for Mirror Coat and Counter, they're pretty much the same. Usually, move variations share some kind of pattern in their flavor text, which reflects in their base power, category and target. --[[User:Blow|Blow]] '''([[User talk:Blow|話す]])''' 15:29, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Sure, bad example from me, a lot of [[move variations]] differ in categories, another example being [[One-hit knockout moves]]. But I agree on the Target being different :) [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 00:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

U2kheim: added argument

Is it really necessary to indicate that Earthquake has no effect on Flying-types? If so, why don't all the other Ground-type moves' pages say so? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 23:49, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

----

It says Earthquake does not make contact, yet I've been paralyzed by Static when using my [[Garchomp|Garchomp's]] Earthquake against [[Pikachu]] to test whether the ability can paralyze {{type2|Ground}} Pokemon. Static paralyzes on contact, so... --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 06:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

== Colosseum? ==

In my Colosseum copy, my parnter doesn't get hit. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 19:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:It's a Flying-type, it has Levitate, it used Protect or Detect, it actually missed because of lowered Accuracy, your game is broken, you remember wrong. Pick the best alternative. EQ hits all. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 19:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia==
"*Earthquake has the highest fixed attack power of any move with 100% accuracy and no drawbacks (tied with Judgment). This is mitigated by the sheer number of Pokémon immune to ground type moves by being Flying-type or having Levitate." Isn't this true for [[Psycho Break (move)|Psycho Break]] too? [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 22:48, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:Psycho Break's drawback: only Mewtwo (and Smeargle) can have it legitimately. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:15, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::If that is considered a drawback then Judgment should be removed from the section too. I think it should be rearranged to (tied with Judgment and Psycho Break) [[User:U2kheim|U2kheim]] 00:20, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

== Banned move? ==

Should I add to the trivia section that this move is never used in the anime anymore because of AG101 coming out right after those earthquakes in 2004? It seems obvious that the writers are avoiding using it. [[User:Janis|Janis]] 06:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I already did that and it was removed for being (although it's obviously true) speculation..hmph [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 06:09, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Update: I added that it has not been seen in the anime since the unaired 2004 episode and I left out speculation as to ''why'' that is. I think it is a pertinent piece of trivia. [[User:Janis|Janis]]

Is it really necessary to indicate that Earthquake has no effect on Flying-types? If so, why don't all the other Ground-type moves' pages say so? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 23:49, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It says Earthquake does not make contact, yet I've been paralyzed by Static when using my [[Garchomp|Garchomp's]] Earthquake against [[Pikachu]] to test whether the ability can paralyze {{type2|Ground}} Pokemon.

==Trivia==
*Aianto and {{p|Kuitaran}} are the only two Pokémon to have a base stat total of 484. This is probably to reflect their rivalry.
**Unlike most Pokémon rivalries (Such as {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}), Aianto is at a severe disadvantage against Kuitaran since it is 4x weak to Kuitaran's type
***However this was probably done to reflect that Anteaters have dominance over, and eat ants.
*Aianto has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Aianto is based on an {{wp|ant}}, possibly the {{wp|Argentine ant}}, as its jaw is similar to Aianto's. Its coloration may be based on the spiny ant's (Polyrhachis sp.) natural silver color.

====Name origin====
Its name seems to be a combination of アイアン ''aian'' (iron) and the English word ''ant''.
