There's been some dispute regarding whether the Sparkling Skylands are based on just Saffron City or a combination of it and Celadon City. Personally, I'm of the opinion that the area is based solely on Saffron City, as it houses the ruins of not only Silph Co. (as evidenced by the Silph Co. music CD found in the building and the fountain in its lobby), but also the Saffron Gym (identified by the journal about Sabrina that's found there, the floor color that matches that seen in HG/SS, and the Poké Ball statues) and the Fighting Dojo (referred to as a dojo by Poliwrath in-game), while housing none of Celadon's landmarks. Does this argument/evidence sound sensible? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:24, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

:Another piece of evidence I wanted to add is that across the skylands, there are ruined streets that are made of asphalt and yellow tiling, which is the same way Saffron's streets are depicted in both HGSS and LGPE. As a matter of fact, the appearance of the building Tinkmaster remodels, the building that Gardevoir leads you to, and the dojo that Poliwrath talks about are all remarkably similar to the designs of Silph Co., the Saffron Gym, and the Fighting Dojo as seen in LGPE. Meanwhile, the color scheme of Celadon City in LGPE is light gray and green, colors which are nowhere to be found in the skylands.

::Ah, yes, the color of the tiles! Completely forgot to mention that! Thanks for bringing it to the evidence table too! Do more people agree with all this evidence? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:22, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
:What about the Game Corner/Rocket HQ? The building with the neon floor is almost certainly the Game Corner, which isn't in Saffron City- especially given the basement area with the Team Rocket poster. Additionally, the tall building has too few floors to be Silph Co. It's possible that it might have lost a few but if so I'd expect there to be far more debris and signs of damage in the area. Additionally, there are also journal entries mentioning the Game Corner and Celadon Department Store, too. Either we assume that those buildings are present in the Skylands as well or we can no longer trust the journal entries to have been found in their corresponding buildings. [[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 23:38, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
::The base is most likely not the one underneath the Game Corner, but one original to this game. Remember that there's also one in Withered Wasteland, aka Fuchsia, which doesn't have a Rocket base in the core series games. As I stated above, the evidence points towards the building the base is underneath of being the Saffron Gym, based on similar floor tiles, the journal, and the statues. As for the journal entries, the game has journal entries about stuff outside their respective areas or even any accessible areas altogether, such as a journal about Misty in the Withered Wasteland. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 23:58, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
:::True, although on the other hand it means the journal entry in what you suggested was the Saffron Gym cannot be considered verifiable proof of its identity. I suspect that it is unlikely that we will get a definitive answer without directly appealing to the designers themselves. [[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 00:30, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Just because some journal entries aren't in the location that matches their subject doesn't mean that all of them are. Same for discs and such. Like how the S.S. Anne theme CD and a human record mentioning the ship are found on the ship itself. I feel the records that are out of place are the ones that don't have corresponding map areas in the game, such as Cerulean and Celadon. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 01:02, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::Regardless, I feel that right now we are at an impasse. [[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 08:10, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

'''Peakychu''' (Japanese: '''うすチュウ''' ''Usuchu'') is a supporting character in {{g|Pokopia}}. She is a {{p|Pikachu}} that is unusually pale for her species and has a smaller than average tail. According to her [[Pokédex entry]], she is a "Pale form" Pikachu. Peakychu also appears to emit a strange glow from her body.<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/discover/ Official English website for Pokopia]</ref>

==In the spin-off games==
===Background===
Shortly prior to the disappearance of [[human]]s, Peakychu shared much of her electricity with her friends, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Toxel}}, and {{p|Dedenne}}, to help nurse them through an illness. However, this had the unexpected side effect of altering her own physical structure to the point where she lost the ability to generate her own electricity entirely. However, she can still manipulate electricity if she receives electrical charge from an external source.

=== [[Pokémon Pokopia]] ===
In the [[Bleak Beach]] area, Peakychu is found by {{P|Meowth}} and {{P|Trubbish}}, where she is in a mostly unconscious state amongst a bed of flowers. When waking up and meeting [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]], Peakychu shares that she can't remember what life was like prior to humans disappearing, and learns that she is unable to generate electricity on her own. Her "peaky" appearance would be the inspiration for her new nickname. Her memory slowly returns as progress is made on restoring the city, which she shares with Ditto and [[Professor Tangrowth]], teaching them about utility poles that can be spread around the area to light up street lamps. Once enough sources of electricity are restored, Peakychu uses power from a charged generator to illuminate the entire city temporarily, in an attempt to wake up [[Mosslax]].

In the [[Sparkling Skylands]] area, Peakychu must be invited to help restore the fourth floor of a huge building. She will return to Bleak Beach shortly after construction finishes.

Back in Bleak Beach, more of Peakychu's memory returns to her. She recalls caring for a family, who she would support by sharing her electricity with them. Peakychu asks Ditto to find members of her family and reunite them with her. {{P|Pichu}} is found in [[Withered Wasteland]] with a "picnic set" [[Habitat Dex|habitat]], {{P|Toxel}} is found in [[Rocky Ridges]] with a "lazy photo-album scrolling" habitat, and {{P|Dedenne}} is found in [[Sparkling Skylands]] with a "tire park" habitat. Once all three have been brought back to Peakychu in Bleak Beach, she shows them her ability to illuminate the area by taking in electricity.

=== Appearance ===
Peakychu is a {{P|Pikachu}} who is mostly grey-white in color. The red of her electrical sacs and the black tips of her ears are mostly drained of their color. Her ears droop down rather than point upright, and will perk up slightly when expressing excitement. Peakychu has slightly larger eyes compared to usual Pikachu. Her tail is notable in that it is much smaller compared to others of her species. The tail is also curved by the end, a trait all [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Pikachu have.

=== Personality and characteristics ===
Peakychu is a patient and kind character who does whatever she can to support those around her, and has a distinctly refined manner of speaking. She loves her family a lot, proven by the fact that she would give up her electric-generating abilities in an attempt to nurse them back to good health, and that she would wish to meet them again the moment she starts remembering them. She is also very calm, given she doesn't seem distressed over having lost memories and the ability to generate electricity. Peakychu may have continued interest in nursing others, as she is able to move into a "full recovery" habitat.

Peakychu has the [[Illuminate (Specialty)|Illuminate]] [[specialty]], which lets her light up an entire town.

== Trivia ==

* Pichu, Toxel, and Dedenne all refer to Peakychu as "Pikachu", likely because the nickname was conceived without them being present.

'''Tinkaton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デカヌチャン''' ''Dekanuchan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tinkatuff}} starting at [[level]] 38. It is the final form of {{p|Tinkatink}}.

==Biology==
[[File:959Tinkaton Dream 3.png|200px|thumb|left|Tinkaton sleeping on its hammer]]
Tinkaton is a pink humanoid Pokémon, with large, white arms and short, stumpy toeless feet with light pink circles underneath. Its arms have five fingers each, with the thumbs having the same color of pink as the body. It has steel plates on its hips that resemble outturned pockets. Its face has silver eyes with thin eyelashes, and a large mouth with two square teeth-like growths on the upper lips. On top of its head is a large, pinkish-white growth resembling a twin-tail hairstyle, which droops over Tinkaton's back and has darker pink zigzag patterns accenting it.

Tinkaton wields a crude, gigantic metal hammer that weighs over 220 pounds (100 kg) and is larger than its own body. The hammer appears to have been made using the old hammer Tinkaton had as a {{p|Tinkatuff}} for the base, with several scraps of metal colored in varying shades of gray and purple welded onto it. The hammer also has a spiked beige axe-like structure on top. Although the hammer is heavy, Tinkaton can swing it with ease by using its whole body. As depicted in ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Tinkaton's Evolution occurs once Tinkatuff successfully forges the gigantic hammer.

Tinkaton is intelligent and has a reckless personality. It swings its hammer at rocks to send them into the sky, aiming to hit flying {{p|Corviknight}}. Because of this, [[Flying Taxi]]s in Paldea use {{p|Squawkabilly}} rather than Corviknight. This Pokémon will also steal anything that it wants and take it back to its dwelling. It has been observed using its hammer like a bed to sleep on. A Tinkaton is known to be the leader of a {{p|Tinkatink}} group. It teaches its group the necessary skills needed for pounding and shaping metal, which in turn helps their future evolutions into Tinkatuff and eventually Tinkaton.

Tinkaton is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}.

===Forms===
Tinkaton has a spin-off form called [[Tinkmaster|Supervisor Tinkaton]].

Supervisor Tinkaton has a similar appearance to a regular Tinkaton. Its most distinct appearance is the crude, gigantic metal hammer now resembling a Swiss weapon-style tool kit. It consists of the signature hammer, a light purple wrench with a spiky tip, and a light purple-grey saw attachment. Notably, it has only one right-sided growth resembling a ponytail attached to a Hachimaki-style hair.

Supervisor Tinkaton is notably very skilled in handcrafting, allowing it to use other tools outside of its giant hammer, and is capable of leading others in creating large buildings or other rebuilding projects, and has skills comparable to an engineer as a result. It is also noted to be very curious about buildings and machines created by humans and has shown the ability to both design and assemble functional buildings from scrap metal and debis.

===Evolution===
Tinkaton evolves from {{p|Tinkatuff}} and is the final form of {{p|Tinkatink}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|UNITE}}: Tinkaton appears as the allied Pokémon in [[Panic Parade]]. It provoked [[Aeos energy|Aeos-energized]] Pokémon (in some vague, undefined manner) and in the mode the Pokémon attack Tinkaton. The mode's objective is to protect Tinkaton. Tinkaton starts the battle off as a {{p|Tinkatink}}, and evolves into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and Tinkaton during as it progresses. A Panic Parade immediately ends should Tinkaton faint. Along with attacking wild Pokémon that get close enough to it, Tinkaton uses {{m|Follow Me}} at the start of each wave with a boss. This seemingly is what calls the boss into the battle.
* {{g|Pokopia}}: [[Tinkmaster]] is a supporting character. She is first met in the [[Sparkling Skylands]], and is the only Pokémon to have the {{OBP|Engineer|specialty}} [[specialty]]. With help from {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}'s contribution of resources, and support from various volunteering Pokémon, Tinkmaster leads a restoration project on [[Silph Co.|a huge ruined building]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Poppy Tinkaton Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Tinkaton in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
Tinkaton debuted in [[PASV21]], under the ownership of [[Poppy]].{{-}}

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:UNITE Tinkaton.png|thumb|150px|Tinkaton in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Tinkaton (UNITE)}}
Tinkaton is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee All-Rounder that starts as Tinkatink and evolves into Tinkatuff at level 5, which evolves into Tinkaton at level 7.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Tinkaton and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1607179613431824384 Megumi Mizutani on Twitter]</ref>
* Tinkaton is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 506.

===Origin===
Given its type combination and its size, Tinkaton may be inspired by {{wp|duende}}s, {{wp|gnome}}s, or {{wp|Dwarf (folklore)|dwarfs}}, the latter of which are commonly depicted smithing and using iron tools and weapons. Its habit of attacking {{p|Corviknight}}, a Steel-type bird Pokémon used for taxi services, also recalls {{wp|gremlin}}s, mischievous creatures once blamed for causing malfunctions in aircraft during World War II.

Tinkaton's petite stature and {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|Female only|female-only gender ratio}} in contrast with its massive hammer may reference common media depictions of small and seemingly innocent looking girls with gigantic weapons.

====Name origin====
Tinkaton may be a combination of ''{{wp|tinker}}'' (itinerant tinsmith) and ''ton'' or ''gigaton''.

Dekanuchan may be a combination of でかい ''dekai'' (huge), 鍛冶 ''kanuchi'' (blacksmith), and the Japanese diminutive suffix ～ちゃん ''-chan''.

== Sparkling Skylands ==

The Sparkling Skylands is exclusively based on Saffron City, not Celadon City, as none of Celadon's landmarks can be found there, and its yellow color scheme matches that of Saffron City from the core series games. The large tower is Silph Co., as its design matches the Silph Co. tower and it houses the music disc containing the Silph Co. theme. -- [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:15, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

:The Silph Co. Tower did not have a rooftop garden (whereas the Celadon Department Store does), and part of the Rocket HQ is visible beneath a building implied to be the Game Corner. Additionally, journal entries in the Sparkling Skylands include a mention of the Department Store being remodeled, which would explain the color change. [[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 14:50, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

::I admit, I did notice the Rocket Hideout, and true, now that I think about it, the area could indeed be a combination of Saffron and Celadon (I had actually thought the ruined building above the hideout was the Saffron Gym, given the floor color, but the Game Corner actually makes more sense than that), but the tower is absolutely Silph Co. The rooftop garden is likely just an addition made during the renovation, the building contains a Silph Co. theme music disc, and, most notably, the lobby (the only floor to stay the same despite the renovations) houses a fountain, just like the Silph Co. lobby. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:10, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
::Almost forgot: I also thought the place above the hideout was the Gym because of the Poké Ball statues. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:11, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::It wouldn't make sense for the Celadon gym to have neon flooring. That being said, the lobby may have been renovated as per that journal entry, and the scaffolding surrounding the building as if it had been undergoing said renovations before being propelled behind the clouds supports that possibility further. As for the disc, the department store doesn't have a unique theme so it may have been placed there as an equivalent of some kind.--[[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 17:29, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
::::I said the Saffron Gym, but your earlier statement regarding the Game Corner makes just as much, if not more sense than either Gym. As for the renovation; the fountain is there in the lobby before the renovation even begins, the scaffolding always surrounds every lower floor even below just the one that's being renovated, and Tinkmaster talks about just the second floor when checking the floors with Ditto and upon completing the first part of the renovation. And the disc containing the Silph Co. theme is not a unique case: don't forget that the S.S. Anne also contains a disc with its theme. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:02, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::The renovation I was talking about was the one mentioned in the Human Records entry, not the one we do with Tinkmaster; most likely, it was underway not long before the floating islands first formed. And while you do have a point with the discs the characteristics of the building don't match the Silph Co. layout precisely either- for a start, it has fewer floors. It is possible that they could have been destroyed previously, but if that was the case I would have expected significantly more wreckage than was actually present. --[[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 20:29, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::I feel we need a third opinion. Otherwise, we'll just keep going in circles. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:19, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Just to let you know, when linking to pages such as those for Pokémon species, we're supposed to use link templates: <nowiki>{{p|Pikachu}}</nowiki> rather than the usual <nowiki>[[Pikachu]]</nowiki>. Link templates will link directly to the species page while the other points to a redirect page first before going to the actual page (compare {{p|Pikachu}} vs. [[Pikachu]]).

== Sparkling Skylands ==

The Sparkling Skylands is exclusively based on Saffron City, not Celadon City, as none of Celadon's landmarks can be found there, and its yellow color scheme matches that of Saffron City from the core series games. The large tower is Silph Co., as its design matches the Silph Co. tower and it houses the music disc containing the Silph Co. theme. -- [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:15, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

:The Silph Co. Tower did not have a rooftop garden (whereas the Celadon Department Store does), and part of the Rocket HQ is visible beneath a building implied to be the Game Corner. Additionally, journal entries in the Sparkling Skylands include a mention of the Department Store being remodeled, which would explain the color change. [[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 14:50, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

::I admit, I did notice the Rocket Hideout, and true, now that I think about it, the area could indeed be a combination of Saffron and Celadon (I had actually thought the ruined building above the hideout was the Saffron Gym, given the floor color, but the Game Corner actually makes more sense than that), but the tower is absolutely Silph Co. The rooftop garden is likely just an addition made during the renovation, the building contains a Silph Co. theme music disc, and, most notably, the lobby (the only floor to stay the same despite the renovations) houses a fountain, just like the Silph Co. lobby. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:10, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
::Almost forgot: I also thought the place above the hideout was the Gym because of the Poké Ball statues. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:11, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::It wouldn't make sense for the Celadon gym to have neon flooring. That being said, the lobby may have been renovated as per that journal entry, and the scaffolding surrounding the building as if it had been undergoing said renovations before being propelled behind the clouds supports that possibility further. --[[User:UB00|UB00]] ([[User talk:UB00|talk]]) 17:29, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], a {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, awakens in the [[Withered Wasteland]], assumes a [[human]] form based on a memory its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and meets a {{p|Tangrowth}} who becomes known as [[Professor Tangrowth]]. According to him, all the humans and other Pokémon besides him disappeared a long time ago, with him having no idea where they could've gone to. After finding a [[Pokédex]] amongst the items discovered by Tangrowth, Ditto gets to work in restoring [[Habitat Dex|Pokémon habitats]] around the wasteland, causing more and more Pokémon to appear to liven the place up, help Ditto out in various tasks, and teach it some handy [[move]]s. This increase in Pokémon numbers brings up Professor Tangrowth's hopes of humans returning as well. When Ditto locates an {{p|Onix}} trapped in a cave too tough to break through, it's suggested that rain could soften the rock enough to make it breakable. As it hasn't rained in the area in years, Tangrowth tells Ditto to find a {{p|Slowpoke}}, whose yawns are said to be able to summon rain. After Slowpoke has been found and made to yawn sufficiently, rain indeed starts falling. While the rainfall summoned by Slowpoke is too short to be useful, it is enough to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} from its resting place at the bottom of the sea. With Kyogre's help, a proper rain is {{a|Drizzle|summoned}}, allowing Onix to be freed. Befriending Kyogre also raises the Trainer rank on Ditto's Pokédex high enough to open [[gate]]s to two new areas: [[Bleak Beach]] and [[Rocky Ridges]].

At Bleak Beach, the sky is perpetually covered in thick clouds, making the area dark and gloomy, even during daytime. As such, in addition to restoring habitats, it becomes Ditto's main project in the area to illuminate the place with various sources of light. This task gains especial importance when Ditto discovers a {{p|Snorlax}} who's been sleeping for so long that it's become covered in moss, earning it the nickname "[[Mosslax]]". While working on lighting up the area in order to wake up Mosslax, Ditto also meets a peculiar pale {{p|Pikachu}}, who adopts the nickname "[[Peakychu]]". Despite having lost her ability to generate electricity, Peakychu is still able to absorb it, so once Ditto has repaired enough sources of electricity to power up a generator for Peakychu to charge up from, she is able to illuminate the area enough to cause the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} to appear, driving away the clouds covering the area and waking up Mosslax.

In Rocky Ridges, Ditto discovers an area covered in large quantities of volcanic ash. While exploring the area, which turns out to be [[Pewter City|a former mining town]], Ditto meets a cooking {{p|Greedent}} called "[[Chef Dente]]", whose recipes help Ditto to power up its moves, and a stereo-possessing {{p|Rotom}}, who goes by "[[DJ Rotom]]". In order for liven up the mood of the place, DJ Rotom suggests they hold a big party. With Ditto helping to bring up the mood level and prepare the party area, many Pokémon attend and the party is a resounding success, its noises even being loud enough to awaken the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Volcanion}} from a nearby volcano. While not attending the party directly, Volcanion brings it to a successful conclusion with a dazzling display of fireworks.

After befriending both Raikou and Volcanion, Ditto's Trainer rank rises once again, allowing it access the [[Sparkling Skylands]], an unusual area where islands of land are held afloat high in the sky by mysterious stones. Amongst the ruins of human structures, Ditto meets a {{p|Tinkaton}} who, due to her engineering skills, has come to call herself "[[Tinkmaster]]". By Tinkmaster's suggestion, Ditto agrees to help restore [[Celadon Department Store|a huge human building]] that stands in the area. With Ditto gathering resources and calling in friends from other areas to help, the huge building is eventually fully restored. Upon its completion, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} appears on the roof and tells Ditto about a suspicious-looking building in a place that used to be called "{{ci|Fuchsia}}", now being the Withered Wasteland.

In the Withered Wasteland, Ditto discovers a peculiar building. A voice speaking from the building invites Ditto to partake in the "Team Initiation Challenge" for joining "[[Team Rocket|Team R]]". The challenge consists of eight parts, each of which requires Ditto to insert certain requested resources or items into the building. Completing each part of the challenge earns Ditto a replica [[Badge]] as a reward. Once Ditto has completed the final part of the challenge by inserting a precious [[Photography|photo]] it has taken, the "building" is revealed to actually be a rocket. The rocket blasts off and flies away, carrying its cargo into deep space, where it's discovered by a human space station implied to be the home of Ditto's former Trainer. Remaining hopeful that humans will someday return, Professor Tangrowth encourages Ditto to keep building.

Unknown to Ditto and Professor Tangrowth (but revealed to the player through collectable journal entries), humanity had evacuated the {{pkmn|world|planet}} and moved to space after a succession of natural catastrophes threatened a global famine. As it wasn't possible to bring every Pokémon along, the world's Pokémon had been placed into a specially modified [[Pokémon Storage System|PC Box]] in order to keep them safe in humanity's absence. The PC Box system had furthermore been programmed with a failsafe linked to an environmental scanner, which would begin automatically releasing the Pokémon from the PC Box upon the detection of stable habitats they could live in. Due to the possibility that it could take decades or even longer before humans could return to the planet, it was decided that it would be more humane to give the Pokémon the chance to inherit the post-human world than to keep them stored away until the PC system inevitably ceased to function from lack of maintenance.

==Locations==
Pokémon Pokopia takes place in the [[Kanto]] region, set an unspecified period of time following a series of destructive environmental disasters that forced the human population to evacuate into space. There are five areas which are based on different settlements throughout the region:

* '''[[Withered Wasteland]]''', set in what was once [[Fuchsia City]] and its surroundings. It appears to have sustained major earthquakes that drastically reshaped the terrain, and experiences an ongoing drought making the temperate land dry and barren. [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] is first released in this area, where it meets [[Professor Tangrowth]]. The pair work together to find a method of causing [[rain]] to occur, so they can turn the land verdant and green once again.
* '''[[Bleak Beach]]''', a coastal region with the devastated [[Vermilion City]]. The area appears to have suffered severe storms that have covered the area in mud, and flattened buildings, trees, and bridges. Evidently, one entire district sustained enough damage to collapse into the sea. Despite this, it is the most intact of all the game's areas, with many of the city's streets and several of its structures still standing. The distressed remains of the [[S.S. Anne]] can be found docked at the city's harbor. Initially, the area is shrouded in darkness from clouds that won't dissipate. Ditto encounters [[Smearguru]], [[Mosslax]], and [[Peakychu]] here.
* '''[[Rocky Ridges]]''', a mountain valley which [[Pewter City]] once nestled within. A volcanic eruption consumed much of the city, turning the surrounding area into ashlands. An old resturant built into the cliffs still stands, where [[Chef Dente]] is found trapped. The city's mines are still largely intact, with [[DJ Rotom]] occupying one chamber. The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] somehow survived the devastation, but is now isolated from the rest of the settlement as it has become fully embedded within the volcano.
* '''[[Sparkling Skylands]]''', a series of floating islands in the sky that once formed sections of [[Saffron City]] on the surface. Mysterious crystals had laid dormant beneath the city until an event caused them to violently propel entire districts up towards the clouds. Throughout the area, makeshift structures have been built out of scrap and salvage by an engineer named [[Tinkmaster]]. Together, Ditto and Tinkmaster work to rebuild the ruined [[Silph Co.]] building in the hopes of attracting the attention of the humans off-world.
* '''[[Palette Town]]''', a trio of vacant islands that are accessed via the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] in the Withered Wasteland. There is no storyline here, leaving the player free to do as they wish. Despite having a similar name, the location bears no apparent connection or resemblance to [[Pallet Town]].

We would like to inform you that we plan to address the following issues.

<big>'''Confirmed Issues'''</big>

We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
* During the Bleak Beach request “To Snorlax”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.

If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Help make a home!”, Squirtle could move to the top of a tree and become impossible to speak to, blocking request progress.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you broke the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crossed it, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.
* If you performed actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom would not trigger.
* During the Rocky Ridges request “Clear the path!”, if the request was triggered under certain conditions, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* Spinarak’s type was listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released on a Game-Key Card for the physical version.
*** Furthermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released on a Game-Key Card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
** To use the changed names of [[Rainbow Feather]] (previously Rainbow Wing) and [[Silver Feather]] (previously Silver Wing). Their names were originally changed in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, but the items are not obtainable nor mentioned in those games.
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game:
** With a retail release to be developed by [[Game Freak]], and the second overall after {{g|Quest}}, a download exclusive free-to-play title.
** To feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
** To feature a [[Pokédex]] with a [[List of Pokémon by Pokédex number in Pokémon Pokopia|unique numbering system]] that does not reflect the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]].
*** It is also the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a Pokédex since Pokémon Quest, as well as the first one to feature a [[regional Pokédex]]-style listing of Pokémon since [[New Pokémon Snap]].
* The Japanese title, "Poco a Pokémon", may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon''. Similarly, the name "Pokopia" used in other languages may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to {{p|Ditto}}) and ''utopia''.
* A "Pokopia Font Generator" web tool launched a meme trend for internet users to generate custom images with funny captions or pop-culture references in the font and style of the game's logo.<ref>[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/pokopia-font-generator Pokopia Font Generator | Know Your Meme]</ref>
* Pokémon Pokopia and [[Detective Pikachu Returns]] are the only [[Generation IX]] spin-off console titles to not have a corresponding version on mobile devices.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], a {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, awakens in the [[Withered Wasteland]], assumes a [[human]] form based on a memory its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and meets a {{p|Tangrowth}} who becomes known as [[Professor Tangrowth]]. According to him, all the humans and other Pokémon besides him disappeared a long time ago, with him having no idea where they could've gone to. After finding a [[Pokédex]] amongst the items discovered by Tangrowth, Ditto gets to work in restoring [[Habitat Dex|Pokémon habitats]] around the wasteland, causing more and more Pokémon to appear to liven the place up, help Ditto out in various tasks, and teach it some handy [[move]]s. This increase in Pokémon numbers brings up Professor Tangrowth's hopes of humans returning as well. When Ditto locates an {{p|Onix}} trapped in a cave too tough to break through, it's suggested that rain could soften the rock enough to make it breakable. As it hasn't rained in the area in years, Tangrowth tells Ditto to find a {{p|Slowpoke}}, whose yawns are said to be able to summon rain. After Slowpoke has been found and made to yawn sufficiently, rain indeed starts falling. While the rainfall summoned by Slowpoke is too short to be useful, it is enough to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} from its resting place at the bottom of the sea. With Kyogre's help, a proper rain is {{a|Drizzle|summoned}}, allowing Onix to be freed. Befriending Kyogre also raises the Trainer rank on Ditto's Pokédex high enough to open [[gate]]s to two new areas: [[Bleak Beach]] and [[Rocky Ridges]].

At Bleak Beach, the sky is perpetually covered in thick clouds, making the area dark and gloomy, even during daytime. As such, in addition to restoring habitats, it becomes Ditto's main project in the area to illuminate the place with various sources of light. This task gains especial importance when Ditto discovers a {{p|Snorlax}} who's been sleeping for so long that it's become covered in moss, earning it the nickname "[[Mosslax]]". While working on lighting up the area in order to wake up Mosslax, Ditto also meets a peculiar pale {{p|Pikachu}}, who adopts the nickname "[[Peakychu]]". Despite having lost her ability to generate electricity, Peakychu is still able to absorb it, so once Ditto has repaired enough sources of electricity to power up a generator for Peakychu to charge up from, she is able to illuminate the area enough to cause the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} to appear, driving away the clouds covering the area and waking up Mosslax.

In Rocky Ridges, Ditto discovers an area covered in large quantities of volcanic ash. While exploring the area, which turns out to be [[Pewter City|a former mining town]], Ditto meets a cooking {{p|Greedent}} called "[[Chef Dente]]", whose recipes help Ditto to power up its moves, and a stereo-possessing {{p|Rotom}}, who goes by "[[DJ Rotom]]". In order for liven up the mood of the place, DJ Rotom suggests they hold a big party. With Ditto helping to bring up the mood level and prepare the party area, many Pokémon attend and the party is a resounding success, its noises even being loud enough to awaken the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Volcanion}} from a nearby volcano. While not attending the party directly, Volcanion brings it to a successful conclusion with a dazzling display of fireworks.

After befriending both Raikou and Volcanion, Ditto's Trainer rank rises once again, allowing it access the [[Sparkling Skylands]], an unusual area where islands of land are held afloat high in the sky by mysterious stones. Amongst the ruins of human structures, Ditto meets a {{p|Tinkaton}} who, due to her engineering skills, has come to call herself "[[Tinkmaster]]". By Tinkmaster's suggestion, Ditto agrees to help restore [[Celadon Department Store|a huge human building]] that stands in the area. With Ditto gathering resources and calling in friends from other areas to help, the huge building is eventually fully restored. Upon its completion, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} appears on the roof and tells Ditto about a suspicious-looking building in a place that used to be called "{{ci|Fuchsia}}", now being the Withered Wasteland.

In the Withered Wasteland, Ditto discovers a peculiar building. A voice speaking from the building invites Ditto to partake in the "Team Initiation Challenge" for joining "[[Team Rocket|Team R]]". The challenge consists of eight parts, each of which requires Ditto to insert certain requested resources or items into the building. Completing each part of the challenge earns Ditto a replica [[Badge]] as a reward. Once Ditto has completed the final part of the challenge by inserting a precious [[Photography|photo]] it has taken, the "building" is revealed to actually be a rocket. The rocket blasts off and flies away, carrying its cargo into deep space, where it's discovered by a human space station implied to be the home of Ditto's former Trainer. Remaining hopeful that humans will someday return, Professor Tangrowth encourages Ditto to keep building.

Unknown to Ditto and Professor Tangrowth (but revealed to the player through collectable journal entries), humanity had evacuated the {{pkmn|world|planet}} and moved to space after a succession of natural catastrophes threatened a global famine. As it wasn't possible to bring every Pokémon along, the world's Pokémon had been placed into a specially modified [[Pokémon Storage System|PC Box]] in order to keep them safe in humanity's absence. The PC Box system had furthermore been programmed to begin releasing them upon detection of stable habitats they could live in. Due to the possibility that it could take decades or even longer before humans could return to the planet, it was decided that it would be more humane to give the Pokémon the chance to inherit the world than to keep them stored away until the PC system ceased to function.

==Locations==
Pokémon Pokopia takes place in the [[Kanto]] region, set an unspecified period of time following a series of destructive environmental disasters that forced the human population to evacuate into space. There are five areas which are based on different settlements throughout the region:

* '''[[Withered Wasteland]]''', set in what was once [[Fuchsia City]] and its surroundings. It appears to have sustained major earthquakes that drastically reshaped the terrain, and experiences an ongoing drought making the temperate land dry and barren. [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] is first released in this area, where it meets [[Professor Tangrowth]]. The pair work together to find a method of causing [[rain]] to occur, so they can turn the land verdant and green once again.
* '''[[Bleak Beach]]''', a coastal region with the devastated [[Vermilion City]]. The area appears to have suffered severe storms that have covered the area in mud, and flattened buildings, trees, and bridges. Evidently, one entire district sustained enough damage to collapse into the sea. Despite this, it is the most intact of all the game's areas, with many of the city's streets and several of its structures still standing. The distressed remains of the [[S.S. Anne]] can be found docked at the city's harbor. Initially, the area is shrouded in darkness from clouds that won't dissipate. Ditto encounters [[Smearguru]], [[Mosslax]], and [[Peakychu]] here.
* '''[[Rocky Ridges]]''', a mountain valley which [[Pewter City]] once nestled within. A volcanic eruption consumed much of the city, turning the surrounding area into ashlands. An old resturant built into the cliffs still stands, where [[Chef Dente]] is found trapped. The city's mines are still largely intact, with [[DJ Rotom]] occupying one chamber. The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] somehow survived the devastation, but is now isolated from the rest of the settlement as it has become fully embedded within the volcano.
* '''[[Sparkling Skylands]]''', a series of floating islands in the sky that once formed sections of [[Saffron City]] on the surface. Mysterious crystals had laid dormant beneath the city until an event caused them to violently propel entire districts up towards the clouds. Throughout the area, makeshift structures have been built out of scrap and salvage by an engineer named [[Tinkmaster]]. Together, Ditto and Tinkmaster work to rebuild the ruined [[Silph Co.]] building in the hopes of attracting the attention of the humans off-world.
* '''[[Palette Town]]''', a trio of vacant islands that are accessed via the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] in the Withered Wasteland. There is no storyline here, leaving the player free to do as they wish. Despite having a similar name, the location bears no apparent connection or resemblance to [[Pallet Town]].

We would like to inform you that we plan to address the following issues.

<big>'''Confirmed Issues'''</big>

We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
* During the Bleak Beach request “To Snorlax”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.

If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Help make a home!”, Squirtle could move to the top of a tree and become impossible to speak to, blocking request progress.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you broke the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crossed it, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.
* If you performed actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom would not trigger.
* During the Rocky Ridges request “Clear the path!”, if the request was triggered under certain conditions, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* Spinarak’s type was listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released on a Game-Key Card for the physical version.
*** Furthermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released on a Game-Key Card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
** To use the changed names of [[Rainbow Feather]] (previously Rainbow Wing) and [[Silver Feather]] (previously Silver Wing). Their names were originally changed in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, but the items are not obtainable nor mentioned in those games.
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game:
** With a retail release to be developed by [[Game Freak]], and the second overall after {{g|Quest}}, a download exclusive free-to-play title.
** To feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
** To feature a [[Pokédex]] with a [[List of Pokémon by Pokédex number in Pokémon Pokopia|unique numbering system]] that does not reflect the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]].
*** It is also the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a Pokédex since Pokémon Quest, as well as the first one to feature a [[regional Pokédex]]-style listing of Pokémon since [[New Pokémon Snap]].
* The Japanese title, "Poco a Pokémon", may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon''. Similarly, the name "Pokopia" used in other languages may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to {{p|Ditto}}) and ''utopia''.
* A "Pokopia Font Generator" web tool launched a meme trend for internet users to generate custom images with funny captions or pop-culture references in the font and style of the game's logo.<ref>[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/pokopia-font-generator Pokopia Font Generator | Know Your Meme]</ref>
* Pokémon Pokopia and [[Detective Pikachu Returns]] are the only [[Generation IX]] spin-off console titles to not have a corresponding version on mobile devices.

'''Celadon City''' (Japanese: '''タマムシシティ''' ''Tamamushi City'') is located in central [[Kanto]]. It is the most populous city in Kanto and the eighth most populous in the [[Pokémon world]], surpassing even [[Saffron City]] in the east. The city has two entrances, one from the east via {{rt|7|Kanto}}, and one from the west via {{rt|16|Kanto}}.

Celadon is the main place to spend money in Kanto, through the [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. It is the home of the [[Celadon Condominiums]], where residents of the city live, and the Celadon Hotel, where visitors can rest. Celadon is also home to [[Erika]], the city's [[Gym Leader]], and [[Eusine]], the hunter who pursues {{p|Suicune}}.

==Places of interest==
===Celadon Department Store===
{{main|Celadon Department Store}}
Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in [[Kanto]]. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a rooftop floor.

===Celadon Condominiums===
{{main|Celadon Condominiums}}
Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to [[Generation IV]]) is located next to the [[Pokémon Center]].

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{player}} can find a Poké Ball containing an {{p|Eevee}} here. [[Game Freak]] has an office in this building, where the player can receive a [[diploma]] from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is where the player obtains the [[Tea]], which is required to enter Saffron City. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives the Tea from [[Brock]] in front of the building.

===Celadon Game Corner===
{{main|Celadon Game Corner}}
[[File:Celadon Game Corner Inside FRLG.png|240px|thumb|Celadon Game Corner]]
The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by [[Team Rocket]], being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The [[Team Rocket Hideout]] is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, [[TM]]s, and other items. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the {{wp|amusement arcade|arcade}} while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Team Rocket Hideout===
{{main|Team Rocket Hideout}}
The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.

===Celadon Hotel===
[[File:Capsule Monsters Hotel.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Capsule Monsters|concept art]] for a hotel that bears resemblance to a [[Pokémon Center]], much like the Celadon Hotel.]]
The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (but not {{game|Yellow}}), there is an {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|invisible PC access|invisible PC}} in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

===Move Tutors===
The man who can only be accessed by Surf gives out {{TM|41|Softboiled}} in [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he instead offers to directly teach this move to certain Pokémon.

{{tutormv/header|frlg|no|no}}
{{tutormv|Softboiled|Normal|tm=41}}
|}
|}

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a {{tc|Tamer}} in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fortune Teller===
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a {{tc|Channeler}} called Madam Celadon with her {{p|Abra}}. For {{pdollar}}10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the [[Nature]] of [[wild Pokémon]] they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.

Due to lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

===Celadon Gym===
{{main|Celadon Gym}}
The Celadon Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Celadon City. It is based on {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Erika]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

The Celadon Gym is a garden full of Trainers. It is impossible to reach Erika without fighting at least one other Trainer and using {{m|Cut}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/2}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}/[[Secret Technique|Chop Down]].{{sup/7|PE}} In all versions and adaptations of Pokémon, Celadon Gym is consistently rendered as a greenhouse.

==Differences between generations==
Between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, there have been some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}} appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to [[Generation II|the previous generation]].

In [[Generation II]], Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved to the far western side of town. Over the course of two years, the small pond has grown very polluted; only {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} can be found there. Like Generation III, [[Generation IV]] has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The central pond has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Celadon City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Dratini}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Sparkling Skylands]] is based on Saffron City and Celadon City. Large chunks of both ruined cities are now suspended on floating islands, kept aloft by masses of mysterious crystals. Different islands can be accessed either by flying or on lift platforms. Fixing the ruined Celadon Department Store becomes {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}'s main task for the area after being requested to do so by [[Tinkmaster]] the {{p|Tinkaton}}. Once completed, this causes {{p|Mewtwo}} to appear here.

==In animation==
[[File:Celadon Skyline.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Celadon City first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth [[Badge]] at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]], the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with {{TRT}} and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "{{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a {{badge|Rainbow}} as thanks for saving her {{p|Gloom}} from the flames.

Ash and his friends briefly revisited Celadon City in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' after they just left it. Although it is not mentioned in the episode, according to official art for the [[P1 Grand Prix]] from the [[Game Freak]] website, the P1 Grand Prix takes place in the Celadon City Hall.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was mentioned that Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], where the episode's [[Nurse Joy]] studied Pokémon psychology. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Professor Oak}} used to teach there, and [[Foster]] was one of his top students.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', [[Chloe]] decided to visit the Celadon Gym in order to attend a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class held by Erika, so that her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} could meet Erika's {{p|Leafeon}}. To her surprise, Ash and [[Goh]] joined her on the trip as well, with Goh hoping to use it as an opportunity to help his {{TP|Goh|Pinsir}} win back his {{TP|Goh|Heracross}}'s love. The class ended up being interrupted by Team Rocket, but Pinsir's efforts in battling the villainous trio and defending Heracross from them proved equally effective in it regaining Heracross's affection.

===''I Choose You!''===
[[File:Celadon Gym M20.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|an alternate continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was shown challenging and defeating [[Erika]] at the Celadon City Gym, earning his third Badge from her.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's secret hideout]]. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, [[Giovanni]].

===Pokémon Generations===
The [[Celadon Game Corner]] briefly appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', showing the [[International Police]] raiding the building and arresting several members of Team Rocket.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Celadon City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Celadon City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Like in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Celadon City first appeared from ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' to ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive [[item]]s, all of which later turned out to be fake, from {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}} encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her [[Blasty|Wartortle]], but was stopped by Red and his [[Snor]]lax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his {{badge|Boulder|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}}s.

After having an encounter with [[Team Rocket]] and {{adv|Mew}}, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an {{p|Eevee}}. With the help of {{adv|Bill}}, Red soon found an [[Vee|Eevee]], but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into [[Eeveelution|its Evolutions]] and [[Devolution|back]]. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from [[Lorelei]], and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}}, sent to capture [[Pika]] by [[Agatha]], then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's {{p|Gastly}} then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by {{adv|Blue}}. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at {{rt|9|Kanto}}.

Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Celadon City was attacked by an army of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon army lost its strength.

Celadon City appeared in ''[[PM009|Pikachu Was Kidnapped!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon ventured to the Game Corner, winning a lot of [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]. Team Rocket tried to steal {{PPM|Red's Pikachu}}, but were stopped by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Celadon City appeared in [[PZ05]], where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from [[Lavender Town]] in order to get a [[Silph Scope]], but after snatching one from the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by {{m|slash}}ing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a {{badge|Rainbow}}.

==Trivia==
* Many [[Gym Leader]]s have appeared at one point or another within Celadon City. [[Erika]], as its own Gym Leader, resides there, while [[Jasmine]], [[Falkner]], [[Janine]], [[Maylene]], and [[Crasher Wake]] stop by at times during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. [[Giovanni]] also appears here during [[Generation I]] and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|its remakes|s}}, as the Rocket Boss in [[Team Rocket Hideout|the hideout]] under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]], while {{ga|Blue}} is known to have visited the city to challenge Erika in Generation I and its remakes. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} also have visited the city, along with {{Ash}}, in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the [[Generation I]] games, the two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s that can be seen in the city remain even after [[Team Rocket]] is thwarted by the player at [[Silph Co.]] This was changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** However, a pair of grunts in the house near the restaurant remain even after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being [[Nimbasa City]]. They are more populous than [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]], respectively. This also happens in Sinnoh, but only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} where [[Hearthome City]] is more populous than [[Jubilife City]].
** Coincidentally, Nimbasa City and Celadon City are both home to the fourth Gyms of their regions.
* In the Japanese version of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games, there are [[wikipedia:Butsudan|butsudan]] (Buddhist shrines) in some Celadon City buildings. They return the text "ぶつだんだ……" (It's a butsudan...) in Generation I and "ぶつだんだ…… うーんおせんこうのにおい" (It's a butsudan... Hmm, the smell of incense.) in Generation II.
** In the English version, the references to butsudan were removed from the text. Instead, they return the text "It's a sculpture of DIGLETT." in Generation I and "What is this? Oh, it's an incense burner!" in Generation II.
** These objects are absent from the [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] remakes of these games.
* In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, Celadon City's design is heavily based on the historic {{wp|Fremont Street}} in {{wp|Las Vegas}}.
* Though it isn't shown in the games, Celadon City is home to the [[Celadon University]]. Its alumni include [[Bill]], [[Celio]], Kazuki, and [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]].<ref>https://www.pokemon.jp/special/moyadoga/guide/science.html</ref>
** [[Hammerlocke]] in [[Galar]] is similarly known to have a university that the player cannot visit.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
Celadon City may correspond to {{wp|Setagaya}}, a {{wp|Special wards of Tokyo|special ward}} of {{wp|Tokyo}} that has the largest population with its many residential neighbourhoods.

'''Saffron City''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキシティ''' ''Yamabuki City'') is a sprawling metropolis in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It lies in between [[Celadon City]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Lavender Town]], and [[Cerulean City]]. It is home to [[Sabrina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]].

It is modeled after Japan's capital city of {{wp|Tokyo}} and is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]] and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large [[Silph Co.]] headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two [[Gym]]s dominate the northeastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure, including the [[Magnet Train]] station, which allows ease of access between Kanto and [[Johto]].

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III===
'''''Shining, Golden Land of Commerce''''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキ　きんいろ　かがやきのいろ''' ''Yamabuki is the color of golden radiance.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Shining Big City''''' (Japanese: '''ひかり　かがやく　だいとかい''' ''Shining big city'')

===Generation VII===
'''''Shining Golden Land of Commerce''''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキ　金色　輝きの色''' ''Yamabuki is the color of golden radiance.'')

==Access==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
Traveling to Saffron City is impossible at first, as the guards at the city's [[gate]]s are thirsty and will not let anyone through. After giving any of the guards a [[drink]] from the [[Celadon Department Store]] (in the [[Generation I]] games) or [[Tea]], they will all let the {{player}} pass. In {{LGPE}}, [[Brock]] and an NPC in the Route 7 gate describe the thirst as a side effect of [[Pewter Crunchies]].

===Generations II and IV===
The player does not need to fulfill certain requirements in order to access the city.

==Places of interest==
===Silph Co. Head Office===
{{main|Silph Co.}}
The Silph Co. Head Office is the largest and tallest building in the city. Silph Co. are the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology in the world, and produce a variety of goods for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as the [[Poké Ball]] and the [[Silph Scope]].

Their status makes them a target of [[Team Rocket]], who orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City in order to obtain the [[Master Ball]]. However, the player successfully drives them out and the President of Silph gives the player the Master Ball for saving the company.

The Silph Co. Head Office is an eleven-floor skyscraper, and effectively a giant maze. The building contains a number of [[warp panel]]s, which must be used in order to reach different rooms. Some of Silph's doors require a {{ka|Card Key}} to open.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, one of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[first partner Pokémon]] may be obtained here from [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{Steven}}. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Rotom's Room]] is located in this building, which contains appliances that allow {{p|Rotom}} to change forms.

===Fighting Dojo===
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
[[File:Fighting Dojo FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Fighting Dojo in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In addition to [[Sabrina]]'s {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]], there is also an unofficial Gym, the Fighting Dojo, which specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The {{player}} can obtain their choice of {{p|Hitmonchan}} or {{p|Hitmonlee}} by defeating the Karate Master [[Koichi]].

The Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be Saffron City's Gym. Due to the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]] that the Saffron Gym's Psychic-type Pokémon had over the Dojo's Fighting-type Pokémon, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official Gym.

In [[Generation II]], the Dojo is closed because the Karate Master [[Kiyo]] has left to train in [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Mortar]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can schedule rematches with [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to be held here using their [[Pokégear]].
{{-}}

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train GSC.png|thumb|200px|The Magnet Train at the station in Generation II]]
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Magnet Train]] runs from Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], connecting the two [[region]]s. It is one of the few methods {{player}}s can use to travel from region to region, and it will allow rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour (550 kilometers per hour).

To board the train, the player must have a [[Pass]]. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Saffron City has one and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her the [[Lost Item|Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]]. Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable [[Machine Part|part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. After defeating him on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, the player can retrieve the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Vermilion City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]] will come here and offer to trade his {{p|Pikachu}} for the player's Pikachu. This Pikachu is notable because it originates from a different language than that of the player's game: in the English releases, it is French and in all other releases, it is English.
{{-}}
===Mr. Psychic's House===
Mr. Psychic lives in a small house that is located on the southeastern side of the city, being better accessible by entering Saffron City from the southern entrance. He sits at a table in the middle of the room. When talked to for the first time in every game he is featured in, he will claim to know that the {{player}} really wants to receive a gift from him, giving the [[TM]] for {{m|Psychic}} to the player.

In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', it is implied that Mr. Psychic may not be able to discover what the player was actually thinking. According to this guidebook, Mr. Psychic was expelled from an organization called "Friendly Psychic Network".<ref>''"You weren't thinking about a TM 29? Oh, well, maybe that's why he was booted out of the Friendly Psychic Network."'' - ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 42</ref>

===Copycat's house===
{{main|Copycat (character)}}
In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Copycat lives in a house that is located in the northwest of the city. In the Generation I games, if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]] she will give them {{TM|31|Mimic}}; in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen she will offer to [[Move Tutor|teach]] one of the player's Pokémon {{m|Mimic}} if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]]; and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, she gives the player {{TM|08|Substitute}} if they show her a {{p|Clefairy}}. There is a video game system in her bedroom: in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen it is an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] with {{smw|Mario & Wario|a game}} that has {{smw|Mario}} with a bucket on his head; in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is a [[Nintendo Switch]] with [[Pokémon Quest|a game]] featuring cube-shaped Pokémon.

Between the events of Generations I and {{gen|II}}, Copycat's house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station. Copycat and her family move to a house slightly south of the station.

In the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Copycat's Clefairy doll goes missing, being found by a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]]. When the {{player}} returns her lost doll, Copycat will reward them with a ticket to ride the [[Magnet Train]] that travels between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Pokémon Trainer Fan Club===

People gather to discuss their favorite celebrity {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at the [[Pokémon Trainer Fan Club]], which only exists in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

[[File:Saffron Gym HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|Saffron Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Saffron Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Saffron City. It is based on {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Sabrina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Marsh}}. The Saffron Gym is a maze of warp panels and nine rooms.

[[File:Saffron City SSB.png|thumb|200px|Saffron City in [[Super Smash Bros.]]]]
===Super Smash Bros. series===
{{main|Saffron City (stage)}}
'''{{St|Saffron City}}''' appears as a playable stage, specifically the roof of [[Silph Co.]], in [[Super Smash Bros.]] In the background, the text "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" and "{{rt|5|Kanto}}" can be seen. A mountain range in the background may be the same one that contains [[Mt. Moon]], {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Cerulean Cave]], and [[Mt. Silver]]. There is also a minor building with some blurry text that seems to start with "F", so it could possibly be the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator in the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear in the background.

During the game's intro, {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen rolling on a Poké Ball as a person walks by.

===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Saffron City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Lapras}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Sparkling Skylands]] is based on Saffron City and Celadon City. Large chunks of both ruined cities are now suspended on floating islands, kept aloft by masses of mysterious crystals. Different islands can be accessed either by flying or on lift platforms. Fixing the ruined Celadon Department Store becomes {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}'s main task for the area after being requested to do so by [[Tinkmaster]] the {{p|Tinkaton}}. Once completed, this causes {{p|Mewtwo}} to appear here.

==In animation==

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Saffron City debuted in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were initially caught and trapped by {{TRT}}, but were soon freed by a mysterious little girl, who turned out to be [[Sabrina]]'s doll. Wanting to earn the {{Badge|Marsh}}, Ash entered the [[Saffron Gym]] and challenged Sabrina into a battle, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against Sabrina's {{p|Abra}}. During the battle, Abra evolved into a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and easily overwhelmed Pikachu, making Ash eventually give up. Following the advice of [[Sabrina's father|a mysterious man]], Ash headed to [[Lavender Town]] to obtain a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so he could have another battle with Sabrina.

Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to Saffron City in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', accompanied by a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} Ash had befriended at the [[Pokémon Tower]]. Unfortunately, Haunter preferred comedy over battling, and disappeared before the [[rematch]]. Ash managed to find Haunter again, but it disappeared yet again when Ash re-entered the Gym. To protect Ash, Pikachu faced Sabrina's Kadabra. After a while, Haunter reappeared and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years. As her Kadabra was rendered unable to battle by the laughter, Sabrina gave Ash the Marsh Badge and kept Haunter with her.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]'', Team Rocket's uncontrolled ride down the incomplete [[Magnet Train]] line on a handcar from [[EP158|the previous episode]] was revealed to have ended in a collision into a brick wall in Saffron City, forcing them to walk all the way back to [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Saffron Contest billboard.png|thumb|left|220px|A billboard for the Saffron Contest]]
The [[Battle Arena]] is also located near Saffron City.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] informed {{an|May}} that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to be held at Saffron City. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', Ash, May, [[Max]], and Brock arrived there and met [[Harley]], who was assisting [[Nurse Joy]] at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Managing to gain May's trust by telling a convenient truth verified by Nurse Joy, Harley then tried to make May arrive late to receiving her [[Kanto]] [[Contest Pass]] by giving her the wrong time for the deadline. In the meantime, May assisted in stopping one of Team Rocket's Pokémon-stealing schemes. While she arrived past the deadline, [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] told the receptionist about May's heroic efforts in saving many {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s' Pokémon from Team Rocket, allowing her to still receive her Contest Pass and register for the Saffron Contest.

The Contest took place in ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', which Harley entered with his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}}, [[Jessie|Jessebella]] entered with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and May entered with her {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}. The three of them were able to impress the [[Contest Judge]]s enough to advance to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. There, Harley defeated Jessebella and quickly made his way to the final round, where he found himself up against May. Using his {{p|Ariados}} against her Squirtle, Harley held the upper hand for most of their battle, having lowered May's score considerably. However, Squirtle ended up [[Fainting|knocking out]] Ariados, making May the winner of the Saffron Contest. This victory earned May the Saffron [[Ribbon]], her first Kanto Ribbon.

In ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', May and Brock decided to visit Saffron City's most famous noodle house, known for a dish called "battle noodles". However, the owner was soon called away to attend to business at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Ash and Max met the Fighting Dojo's owner, [[Master Hamm]], and soon caught up with May and Brock, who followed the noodle shop owner, [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], who was also Master Hamm's son. Eventually, the father and son came to an understanding, with Kyle returning to his noodle business while dojo student [[Terri]] agreed to take over the dojo from Master Hamm.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], Brock met a Nurse Joy who had once served at the Saffron City Pokémon Center, but was now a top agent of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', [[Sean]] mentioned having visited Saffron City with his family in the past. On the trip, he saw a {{p|Pikachu}} there.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Saffron City was revealed to have a train station. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} made plans to travel from [[Vermilion City]] via this train and get off at Saffron City's station to continue on to [[Goldenrod City]] in Johto using the Magnet Train line.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] visited the Fighting Dojo. There, Ash faced and lost to [[Bea]] in a [[World Coronation Series]] match, while Goh won himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Saffron City PO.png|thumb|250px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Saffron City appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. Soon after arriving at the city, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, and together they saved a woman from being harassed by [[Team Rocket]]. The woman revealed herself to be the [[Silph Co.]]'s president's secretary, and told the two Trainers that Team Rocket had taken over the company, intending to steal the [[Master Ball]] they were developing. Wanting to free the Pokémon used in the development tests, Red stormed the Silph Co., releasing all the imprisoned Pokémon and {{tc|Scientist}}s inside. At the top floor, he encountered the Boss of Team Rocket, [[Giovanni]]. He had a battle against the criminal leader, but was easily defeated, and Giovanni got away.

Following the Silph Co. incident, Red challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle and defeated her, earning the Marsh Badge. Afterwards, he challenged the [[Koichi|Karate Master]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and won, earning himself a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Saffron City Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Saffron City first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' and ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', where it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] had managed to capture all three {{adv|legendary birds}} and was keeping their base at the [[Silph Co.]] building, along with the citizens of [[Pallet Town]], whom they had kidnapped. Due to guards blocking the [[gate]]s and an invisible barrier surrounding the city, it seemed impossible to get in. However, thanks to some cooperation between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, they were able to discover that the barrier was actually a {{m|Light Screen}} cast by a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it using teamwork between [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Substitute}} clone and [[Blue's Golduck]], lifting the barrier and allowing the [[Pokédex holder]]s to enter the city.

The Pokédex holders subsequently stormed the Silph Co. and battled against the evil [[Gym Leader]]s serving for Team Rocket; [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], and the legendary birds they controlled. Using a device called the Badge Energy Amplifier, {{adv|Green}} accidentally {{pkmn|fusion|fused}} the three legendary birds into one being, {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. With their combined efforts, the three Pallet Town Trainers managed to defeat the creature and separate it back into its three original forms, which then fled. The building proceeded to collapse into ruins during the ensuing chaos.

During the Silph Co. battle, lower members of Team Rocket tried to escape the city, but were all caught by the Gym Leaders of Justice ([[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Erika]]) and their allies outside the city gates.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'', two years after Team Rocket's defeat, [[Agatha]] was seen picking up the Badge Energy Amplifier from the ruins of the Silph Co.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Saffron City Zensho.png|thumb|210px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
{{zensho|Satoshi}} visited Saffron City in [[PZ07]]. From the [[Koichi|Karate Master]], he learned that [[Gym Leader]] [[Sabrina]] was trying to rescue the [[Silph Co.]] from the hands of [[Team Rocket]], so he went after her to help. Inside the occupied office building, Satoshi found both Sabrina and a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Lapras}} that she had befriended while infiltrating the building. With Sabrina's teleportation powers, they made their way to the top floor, where [[Giovanni]] was holding that Silph Co. president hostage. Satoshi fought Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} with Lapras and was able to force him to retreat. As thanks, the president gave Satoshi the [[Master Ball]], while Sabrina gave him a {{badge|Marsh}}, and Lapras joined Satoshi on his travels.

==Trivia==
[[File:Saffron City unused FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The unused map of Saffron City from FireRed and LeafGreen]]
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the overworld's collision data is bypassed in order to skip any of the [[gate]]s surrounding the city, the player will access an alternate version of Saffron City, where all warps and events are absent. This is because the real Saffron City is not directly connected to its adjacent routes so the game loads a copy of the map that assures the continuity of the overworld.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
Saffron City may correspond to {{wp|Chiyoda, Tokyo|Chiyoda}}, a {{wp|Special wards of Tokyo|special ward}} of {{wp|Tokyo}} that functions as the economic and political center of Japan. The area of {{wp|Marunouchi}} serves as the central business district of Chiyoda, housing the headquarters of multiple {{wp|Fortune 500}} companies. {{wp|Tokyo Station}} is also a major railway station located in Chiyoda that connects to {{wp|Shin-Ōsaka Station}} in {{wp|Osaka}} through the {{wp|Tokaido Shinkansen}} high-speed rail line, paralleling the [[Magnet Train]] that connects Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]]. It may also be based on {{wp|Shinjuku}}, a neighboring ward that rivals Chiyoda as a major economic hub.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], a {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, awakens in the [[Withered Wasteland]], assumes a [[human]] form based on a memory its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and meets a {{p|Tangrowth}} who becomes known as [[Professor Tangrowth]]. According to him, all the humans and other Pokémon besides him disappeared a long time ago, with him having no idea where they could've gone to. After finding a [[Pokédex]] amongst the items discovered by Tangrowth, Ditto gets to work in restoring [[Habitat Dex|Pokémon habitats]] around the wasteland, causing more and more Pokémon to appear to liven the place up, help Ditto out in various tasks, and teach it some handy [[move]]s. This increase in Pokémon numbers brings up Professor Tangrowth's hopes of humans returning as well. When Ditto locates an {{p|Onix}} trapped in a cave too tough to break through, it's suggested that rain could soften the rock enough to make it breakable. As it hasn't rained in the area in years, Tangrowth tells Ditto to find a {{p|Slowpoke}}, whose yawns are said to be able to summon rain. After Slowpoke has been found and made to yawn sufficiently, rain indeed starts falling. While the rainfall summoned by Slowpoke is too short to be useful, it is enough to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} from its resting place at the bottom of the sea. With Kyogre's help, a proper rain is {{a|Drizzle|summoned}}, allowing Onix to be freed. Befriending Kyogre also raises the Trainer rank on Ditto's Pokédex high enough to open [[gate]]s to two new areas: [[Bleak Beach]] and [[Rocky Ridges]].

At Bleak Beach, the sky is perpetually covered in thick clouds, making the area dark and gloomy, even during daytime. As such, in addition to restoring habitats, it becomes Ditto's main project in the area to illuminate the place with various sources of light. This task gains especial importance when Ditto discovers a {{p|Snorlax}} who's been sleeping for so long that it's become covered in moss, earning it the nickname "[[Mosslax]]". While working on lighting up the area in order to wake up Mosslax, Ditto also meets a peculiar pale {{p|Pikachu}}, who adopts the nickname "[[Peakychu]]". Despite having lost her ability to generate electricity, Peakychu is still able to absorb it, so once Ditto has repaired enough sources of electricity to power up a generator for Peakychu to charge up from, she is able to illuminate the area enough to cause the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} to appear, driving away the clouds covering the area and waking up Mosslax.

In Rocky Ridges, Ditto discovers an area covered in large quantities of volcanic ash. While exploring the area, which turns out to be [[Pewter City|a former mining town]], Ditto meets a cooking {{p|Greedent}} called "[[Chef Dente]]", whose recipes help Ditto to power up its moves, and a stereo-possessing {{p|Rotom}}, who goes by "[[DJ Rotom]]". In order for liven up the mood of the place, DJ Rotom suggests they hold a big party. With Ditto helping to bring up the mood level and prepare the party area, many Pokémon attend and the party is a resounding success, its noises even being loud enough to awaken the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Volcanion}} from a nearby volcano. While not attending the party directly, Volcanion brings it to a successful conclusion with a dazzling display of fireworks.

After befriending both Raikou and Volcanion, Ditto's Trainer rank rises once again, allowing it access the [[Sparkling Skylands]], an unusual area where islands of land are held afloat high in the sky by mysterious stones. Amongst the ruins of human structures, Ditto meets a {{p|Tinkaton}} who, due to her engineering skills, has come to call herself "[[Tinkmaster]]". By Tinkmaster's suggestion, Ditto agrees to help restore [[Celadon Department Store|a huge human building]] that stands in the area. With Ditto gathering resources and calling in friends from other areas to help, the huge building is eventually fully restored. Upon its completion, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} appears on the roof and tells Ditto about a suspicious-looking building in a place that used to be called "{{ci|Fuchsia}}", now being the Withered Wasteland.

In the Withered Wasteland, Ditto discovers a peculiar building. A voice speaking from the building invites Ditto to partake in the "Team Initiation Challenge" for joining "[[Team Rocket|Team R]]". The challenge consists of eight parts, each of which requires Ditto to insert certain requested resources or items into the building. Completing each part of the challenge earns Ditto a replica [[Badge]] as a reward. Once Ditto has completed the final part of the challenge by inserting a precious [[Photography|photo]] it has taken, the "building" is revealed to actually be a rocket. The rocket blasts off and flies away, carrying its cargo into deep space, where it's discovered by a human space station implied to be the home of Ditto's former trainer.

Unknown to Ditto and Professor Tangrowth (but revealed to the player through collectibles journal entries), humanity had evacuated the Earth for space habitats after a succession of catastrophes threatened a global famine; the world's Pokémon had been placed into a specially modified PC Box in order to keep them safe in humanity's absence. The PC Box system had furthermore been programmed to begin releasing them upon detection of stable habitats they could live in- due to the possibility that it could take decades or even longer before humans could return to Earth, it was decided that it would be more humane to give the Pokémon the chance to inherit the world than to keep them stored away until the PC system ceased to function.

Remaining hopeful that humans will someday return, Professor Tangrowth encourages Ditto to keep building.

==Locations==
Pokémon Pokopia takes place in the [[Kanto]] region, set an unspecified period of time following a series of destructive environmental disasters that forced the human population to evacuate into space. There are five areas which are based on different settlements throughout the region:

* '''[[Withered Wasteland]]''', set in what was once [[Fuchsia City]] and its surroundings. It appears to have sustained major earthquakes that drastically reshaped the terrain, and experiences an ongoing drought making the temperate land dry and barren. [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] is first released in this area, where it meets [[Professor Tangrowth]]. The pair work together to find a method of causing [[rain]] to occur, so they can turn the land verdant and green once again.
* '''[[Bleak Beach]]''', a coastal region with the devastated [[Vermilion City]]. The area appears to have suffered severe storms that have covered the area in mud, and flattened buildings, trees, and bridges. Evidently, one entire district sustained enough damage to collapse into the sea. Despite this, it is the most intact of all the game's areas, with many of the city's streets and several of its structures still standing. The distressed remains of the [[S.S. Anne]] can be found docked at the city's harbor. Initially, the area is shrouded in darkness from clouds that won't dissipate. Ditto encounters [[Smearguru]], [[Mosslax]], and [[Peakychu]] here.
* '''[[Rocky Ridges]]''', a mountain valley which [[Pewter City]] once nestled within. A volcanic eruption consumed much of the city, turning the surrounding area into ashlands. An old resturant built into the cliffs still stands, where [[Chef Dente]] is found trapped. The city's mines are still largely intact, with [[DJ Rotom]] occupying one chamber. The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] somehow survived the devastation, but is now isolated from the rest of the settlement as it has become fully embedded within the volcano.
* '''[[Sparkling Skylands]]''', a series of floating islands in the sky that once formed sections of [[Celadon City]] and [[Saffron City]] on the surface. Mysterious crystals had laid dormant beneath the city until an event caused them to violently propel entire districts up towards the clouds. Throughout the area, makeshift structures have been built out of scrap and salvage by an engineer named [[Tinkmaster]]. Together, Ditto and Tinkmaster work to rebuild the ruined [[Celadon Department Store]] building in the hopes of attracting the attention of the humans off-world.
* '''[[Palette Town]]''', a trio of vacant islands that are accessed via the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] in the Withered Wasteland. There is no storyline here, leaving the player free to do as they wish. Despite having a similar name, the location bears no apparent connection or resemblance to [[Pallet Town]].

We would like to inform you that we plan to address the following issues.

<big>'''Confirmed Issues'''</big>

We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
* During the Bleak Beach request “To Snorlax”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.

If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Help make a home!”, Squirtle could move to the top of a tree and become impossible to speak to, blocking request progress.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you broke the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crossed it, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.
* If you performed actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom would not trigger.
* During the Rocky Ridges request “Clear the path!”, if the request was triggered under certain conditions, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* Spinarak’s type was listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

The player takes control of {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, who transforms to look like a [[human]] and explores the world while collecting materials, building structures, and learning [[move]]s from befriended Pokémon. It released worldwide on March 5, 2026.

The game was announced worldwide on September 12, 2025, at 10 P.M. JST via [[Nintendo Direct]].

==Gameplay==
The game features {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}} as the protagonist, who has {{m|transform}}ed to look like a [[human]] after waking from a long slumber. The {{pkmn|world}} has withered and humans are gone, and the only remaining resident is a {{prof|Tangrowth}} who lives alone in the wasteland.<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/ ''Pokémon Pokopia'' official website]</ref> Ditto can explore the world and create a cozy environment for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, rebuilding a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time. Ditto can befriend Pokémon and take advantage of its moves, such as {{m|Leafage}} from {{p|Bulbasaur}} to grow patches of grass or {{m|Water Gun}} from {{p|Squirtle}} to water dried-up plants.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-pokopia-arriving-in-2026 ''Pokémon Pokopia'' arriving in 2026] - "Ditto can learn moves from other Pokémon and utilize those moves to help build your very own Pokémon paradise. For example, Ditto can use Bulbasaur's Leafage to add greenery to the landscape or Squirtle's Water Gun to hydrate plants."</ref> Ditto can also collect different materials to build furniture, structures, and grow vegetables to attract other Pokémon.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Reveals-Two-New-Video-Game-Experiences-Pokemon-Pokopia-and-Pok September 12, 2025 Press Release — ''Pokémon Reveals Two New Video Game Experiences: Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension'']</ref> The game features a real-[[time]] day-night cycle, as well as [[weather condition]]s which can change the environment.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], a {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, awakens in the [[Withered Wasteland]], assumes a [[human]] form based on a memory its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and meets a {{p|Tangrowth}} who becomes known as [[Professor Tangrowth]]. According to him, all the humans and other Pokémon besides him disappeared a long time ago, with him having no idea where they could've gone to. After finding a [[Pokédex]] amongst the items discovered by Tangrowth, Ditto gets to work in restoring [[Habitat Dex|Pokémon habitats]] around the wasteland, causing more and more Pokémon to appear to liven the place up, help Ditto out in various tasks, and teach it some handy [[move]]s. This increase in Pokémon numbers brings up Professor Tangrowth's hopes of humans returning as well. When Ditto locates an {{p|Onix}} trapped in a cave too tough to break through, it's suggested that rain could soften the rock enough to make it breakable. As it hasn't rained in the area in years, Tangrowth tells Ditto to find a {{p|Slowpoke}}, whose yawns are said to be able to summon rain. After Slowpoke has been found and made to yawn sufficiently, rain indeed starts falling. While the rainfall summoned by Slowpoke is too short to be useful, it is enough to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} from its resting place at the bottom of the sea. With Kyogre's help, a proper rain is {{a|Drizzle|summoned}}, allowing Onix to be freed. Befriending Kyogre also raises the Trainer rank on Ditto's Pokédex high enough to open [[gate]]s to two new areas: [[Bleak Beach]] and [[Rocky Ridges]].

At Bleak Beach, the sky is perpetually covered in thick clouds, making the area dark and gloomy, even during daytime. As such, in addition to restoring habitats, it becomes Ditto's main project in the area to illuminate the place with various sources of light. This task gains especial importance when Ditto discovers a {{p|Snorlax}} who's been sleeping for so long that it's become covered in moss, earning it the nickname "[[Mosslax]]". While working on lighting up the area in order to wake up Mosslax, Ditto also meets a peculiar pale {{p|Pikachu}}, who adopts the nickname "[[Peakychu]]". Despite having lost her ability to generate electricity, Peakychu is still able to absorb it, so once Ditto has repaired enough sources of electricity to power up a generator for Peakychu to charge up from, she is able to illuminate the area enough to cause the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} to appear, driving away the clouds covering the area and waking up Mosslax.

In Rocky Ridges, Ditto discovers an area covered in large quantities of volcanic ash. While exploring the area, which turns out to be [[Pewter City|a former mining town]], Ditto meets a cooking {{p|Greedent}} called "[[Chef Dente]]", whose recipes help Ditto to power up its moves, and a stereo-possessing {{p|Rotom}}, who goes by "[[DJ Rotom]]". In order for liven up the mood of the place, DJ Rotom suggests they hold a big party. With Ditto helping to bring up the mood level and prepare the party area, many Pokémon attend and the party is a resounding success, its noises even being loud enough to awaken the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Volcanion}} from a nearby volcano. While not attending the party directly, Volcanion brings it to a successful conclusion with a dazzling display of fireworks.

After befriending both Raikou and Volcanion, Ditto's Trainer rank rises once again, allowing it access the [[Sparkling Skylands]], an unusual area where islands of land are held afloat high in the sky by mysterious stones. Amongst the ruins of human structures, Ditto meets a {{p|Tinkaton}} who, due to her engineering skills, has come to call herself "[[Tinkmaster]]". By Tinkmaster's suggestion, Ditto agrees to help restore [[Celadon Department Store|a huge human building]] that stands in the area. With Ditto gathering resources and calling in friends from other areas to help, the huge building is eventually fully restored. Upon its completion, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} appears on the roof and tells Ditto about a suspicious-looking building in a place that used to be called "{{ci|Fuchsia}}", now being the Withered Wasteland.

In the Withered Wasteland, Ditto discovers a peculiar building. A voice speaking from the building invites Ditto to partake in the "Team Initiation Challenge" for joining "[[Team Rocket|Team R]]". The challenge consists of eight parts, each of which requires Ditto to insert certain requested resources or items into the building. Completing each part of the challenge earns Ditto a replica [[Badge]] as a reward. Once Ditto has completed the final part of the challenge by inserting a precious [[Photography|photo]] it has taken, the "building" is revealed to actually be a rocket. The rocket blasts off and flies away, carrying its cargo into deep space, where it's discovered by a human space station implied to be the home of Ditto's former trainer.

Unknown to Ditto and Professor Tangrowth (but revealed to the player through collectibles journal entries), humanity had evacuated the Earth for space habitats after a succession of catastrophes threatened a global famine; the world's Pokémon had been placed into a specially modified PC Box in order to keep them safe in humanity's absence. The PC Box system had furthermore been programmed to begin releasing them upon detection of stable habitats they could live in- due to the possibility that it could take decades or even longer before humans could return to Earth, it was decided that it would be more humane to give the Pokémon the chance to inherit the world than to keep them stored away until the PC system ceased to function.

Remaining hopeful that humans will someday return, Professor Tangrowth encourages Ditto to keep building.

==Locations==
Pokémon Pokopia takes place in the [[Kanto]] region, set an unspecified period of time following a series of destructive environmental disasters that forced the human population to evacuate into space. There are five areas which are based on different settlements throughout the region:
* '''[[Withered Wasteland]]''', set in what was once [[Fuchsia City]] and its surroundings. It appears to have sustained major earthquakes that drastically reshaped the terrain, and experiences an ongoing drought making the temperate land dry and barren. [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] is first released in this area, where it meets [[Professor Tangrowth]]. The pair work together to find a method of causing [[rain]] to occur, so they can turn the land verdant and green once again.
* '''[[Bleak Beach]]''', a coastal region with the devastated [[Vermilion City]]. The area appears to have suffered severe storms that have covered the area in mud, and flattened buildings, trees, and bridges. Evidently, one entire district sustained enough damage to collapse into the sea. Despite this, it is the most intact of all the game's areas, with many of the city's streets and several of its structures still standing. The distressed remains of the [[S.S. Anne]] can be found docked at the city's harbor. Initially, the area is shrouded in darkness from clouds that won't dissipate. Ditto encounters [[Smearguru]], [[Mosslax]], and [[Peakychu]] here.
* '''[[Rocky Ridges]]''', a mountain valley which [[Pewter City]] once nestled within. A volcanic eruption consumed much of the city, turning the surrounding area into ashlands. An old resturant built into the cliffs still stands, where [[Chef Dente]] is found trapped. The city's mines are still largely intact, with [[DJ Rotom]] occupying one chamber. The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] somehow survived the devastation, but is now isolated from the rest of the settlement as it has become fully embedded within the volcano.
* '''[[Sparkling Skylands]]''', a series of floating islands in the sky that once formed sections of [[Saffron City]] on the surface. Mysterious crystals had laid dormant beneath the city until an event caused them to violently propel entire districts up towards the clouds. Throughout the area, makeshift structures have been built out of scrap and salvage by an engineer named [[Tinkmaster]]. Together, Ditto and Tinkmaster work to rebuild the ruined [[Silph Co.]] tower in the hopes of attracting the attention of the humans off-world.
* '''[[Palette Town]]''', a trio of vacant islands that are accessed via the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] in the Withered Wasteland. There is no storyline here, leaving the player free to do as they wish. Despite having a similar name, the location bears no apparent connection or resemblance to [[Pallet Town]].

==Gameplay==
The game features {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}} as the protagonist, who has {{m|transform}}ed to look like a [[human]] after waking from a long slumber. The {{pkmn|world}} has withered and humans are gone, and the only remaining resident is a {{prof|Tangrowth}} who lives alone in the wasteland.<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/ ''Pokémon Pokopia'' official website]</ref> Ditto can explore the world and create a cozy environment for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, rebuilding a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time. Ditto can befriend Pokémon and take advantage of its moves, such as {{m|Leafage}} from {{p|Bulbasaur}} to grow patches of grass or {{m|Water Gun}} from {{p|Squirtle}} to water dried-up plants.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-pokopia-arriving-in-2026 ''Pokémon Pokopia'' arriving in 2026] - "Ditto can learn moves from other Pokémon and utilize those moves to help build your very own Pokémon paradise. For example, Ditto can use Bulbasaur's Leafage to add greenery to the landscape or Squirtle's Water Gun to hydrate plants."</ref> Ditto can also collect different materials to build furniture, structures, and grow vegetables to attract other Pokémon.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Reveals-Two-New-Video-Game-Experiences-Pokemon-Pokopia-and-Pok September 12, 2025 Press Release — ''Pokémon Reveals Two New Video Game Experiences: Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension'']</ref> The game features a real-[[time]] day-night cycle, as well as [[weather condition]]s which can change the environment.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], a {{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}}, awakens in the [[Withered Wasteland]], assumes a [[human]] form based on a memory its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and meets a {{p|Tangrowth}} who becomes known as [[Professor Tangrowth]]. According to him, all the humans and other Pokémon besides him disappeared a long time ago, with him having no idea where they could've gone to. After finding a [[Pokédex]] amongst the items discovered by Tangrowth, Ditto gets to work in restoring [[Habitat Dex|Pokémon habitats]] around the wasteland, causing more and more Pokémon to appear to liven the place up, help Ditto out in various tasks, and teach it some handy [[move]]s. This increase in Pokémon numbers brings up Professor Tangrowth's hopes of humans returning as well. When Ditto locates an {{p|Onix}} trapped in a cave too tough to break through, it's suggested that rain could soften the rock enough to make it breakable. As it hasn't rained in the area in years, Tangrowth tells Ditto to find a {{p|Slowpoke}}, whose yawns are said to be able to summon rain. After Slowpoke has been found and made to yawn sufficiently, rain indeed starts falling. While the rainfall summoned by Slowpoke is too short to be useful, it is enough to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} from its resting place at the bottom of the sea. With Kyogre's help, a proper rain is {{a|Drizzle|summoned}}, allowing Onix to be freed. Befriending Kyogre also raises the Trainer rank on Ditto's Pokédex high enough to open [[gate]]s to two new areas: [[Bleak Beach]] and [[Rocky Ridges]].

At Bleak Beach, the sky is perpetually covered in thick clouds, making the area dark and gloomy, even during daytime. As such, in addition to restoring habitats, it becomes Ditto's main project in the area to illuminate the place with various sources of light. This task gains especial importance when Ditto discovers a {{p|Snorlax}} who's been sleeping for so long that it's become covered in moss, earning it the nickname "[[Mosslax]]". While working on lighting up the area in order to wake up Mosslax, Ditto also meets a peculiar pale {{p|Pikachu}}, who adopts the nickname "[[Peakychu]]". Despite having lost her ability to generate electricity, Peakychu is still able to absorb it, so once Ditto has repaired enough sources of electricity to power up a generator for Peakychu to charge up from, she is able to illuminate the area enough to cause the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} to appear, driving away the clouds covering the area and waking up Mosslax.

In Rocky Ridges, Ditto discovers an area covered in large quantities of volcanic ash. While exploring the area, which turns out to be [[Pewter City|a former mining town]], Ditto meets a cooking {{p|Greedent}} called "[[Chef Dente]]", whose recipes help Ditto to power up its moves, and a stereo-possessing {{p|Rotom}}, who goes by "[[DJ Rotom]]". In order for liven up the mood of the place, DJ Rotom suggests they hold a big party. With Ditto helping to bring up the mood level and prepare the party area, many Pokémon attend and the party is a resounding success, its noises even being loud enough to awaken the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Volcanion}} from a nearby volcano. While not attending the party directly, Volcanion brings it to a successful conclusion with a dazzling display of fireworks.

After befriending both Raikou and Volcanion, Ditto's Trainer rank rises once again, allowing it access the [[Sparkling Skylands]], an unusual area where islands of land are held afloat high in the sky by mysterious stones. Amongst the ruins of human structures, Ditto meets a {{p|Tinkaton}} who, due to her engineering skills, has come to call herself "[[Tinkmaster]]". By Tinkmaster's suggestion, Ditto agrees to help restore [[Silph Co.|a huge human building]] that stands in the area. With Ditto gathering resources and calling in friends from other areas to help, the huge building is eventually fully restored. Upon its completion, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} appears on the roof and tells Ditto about a suspicious-looking building in a place that used to be called "{{ci|Fuchsia}}", now being the Withered Wasteland.

In the Withered Wasteland, Ditto discovers a peculiar building. A voice speaking from the building invites Ditto to partake in the "Team Initiation Challenge" for joining "[[Team Rocket|Team R]]". The challenge consists of eight parts, each of which requires Ditto to insert certain requested resources or items into the building. Completing each part of the challenge earns Ditto a replica [[Badge]] as a reward. Once Ditto has completed the final part of the challenge by inserting a precious [[Photography|photo]] it has taken, the "building" is revealed to actually be a rocket. The rocket blasts off and flies away, carrying its cargo into deep space, where it's discovered by a human space station implied to be the home of Ditto's former trainer.

Unknown to Ditto and Professor Tangrowth (but revealed to the player through collectibles journal entries), humanity had evacuated the Earth for space habitats after a succession of catastrophes threatened a global famine; the world's Pokémon had been placed into a specially modified PC Box in order to keep them safe in humanity's absence. The PC Box system had furthermore been programmed to begin releasing them upon detection of stable habitats they could live in- due to the possibility that it could take decades or even longer before humans could return to Earth, it was decided that it would be more humane to give the Pokémon the chance to inherit the world than to keep them stored away until the PC system ceased to function.

Remaining hopeful that humans will someday return, Professor Tangrowth encourages Ditto to keep building.

==Locations==
Pokémon Pokopia takes place in the [[Kanto]] region, set an unspecified period of time following a series of destructive environmental disasters that forced the human population to evacuate into space. There are five areas which are based on different settlements throughout the region:
* '''[[Withered Wasteland]]''', set in what was once [[Fuchsia City]] and its surroundings. It appears to have sustained major earthquakes that drastically reshaped the terrain, and experiences an ongoing drought making the temperate land dry and barren. [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] is first released in this area, where it meets [[Professor Tangrowth]]. The pair work together to find a method of causing [[rain]] to occur, so they can turn the land verdant and green once again.
* '''[[Bleak Beach]]''', a coastal region with the devastated [[Vermilion City]]. The area appears to have suffered severe storms that have covered the area in mud, and flattened buildings, trees, and bridges. Evidently, one entire district sustained enough damage to collapse into the sea. Despite this, it is the most intact of all the game's areas, with many of the city's streets and several of its structures still standing. The distressed remains of the [[S.S. Anne]] can be found docked at the city's harbor. Initially, the area is shrouded in darkness from clouds that won't dissipate. Ditto encounters [[Smearguru]], [[Mosslax]], and [[Peakychu]] here.
* '''[[Rocky Ridges]]''', a mountain valley which [[Pewter City]] once nestled within. A volcanic eruption consumed much of the city, turning the surrounding area into ashlands. An old resturant built into the cliffs still stands, where [[Chef Dente]] is found trapped. The city's mines are still largely intact, with [[DJ Rotom]] occupying one chamber. The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] somehow survived the devastation, but is now isolated from the rest of the settlement as it has become fully embedded within the volcano.
* '''[[Sparkling Skylands]]''', a series of floating islands in the sky that once formed sections of [[Saffron City]] on the surface. Mysterious crystals had laid dormant beneath the city until an event caused them to violently propel entire districts up towards the clouds. Throughout the area, makeshift structures have been built out of scrap and salvage by an engineer named [[Tinkmaster]]. Together, Ditto and Tinkmaster work to rebuild the ruined [[Silph Co.]] tower in the hopes of attracting the attention of the humans off-world.
* '''[[Palette Town]]''', a trio of vacant islands that are accessed via the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] in the Withered Wasteland. There is no storyline here, leaving the player free to do as they wish. Despite having a similar name, the location bears no apparent connection or resemblance to [[Pallet Town]].

We would like to inform you that we plan to address the following issues.

<big>'''Confirmed Issues'''</big>

We have implemented improvements to address the following issues:

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Rock Smash your way to treasure!”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
* During the Bleak Beach request “To Snorlax”, if you placed another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it made it hard to see how you should proceed.
Additionally, the following issues have been fixed.

If these issues have already occurred in your game, applying this update will resolve them.

* During the Withered Wasteland request “Help make a home!”, Squirtle could move to the top of a tree and become impossible to speak to, blocking request progress.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, if you broke the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crossed it, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* During the Bleak Beach request “Find the Pokémon Center!”, a specific sequence of actions may prevent Professor Tangrowth’s bridge repair request from triggering, preventing progress.
* If you performed actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom would not trigger.
* During the Rocky Ridges request “Clear the path!”, if the request was triggered under certain conditions, it became difficult to proceed with the request.
* Spinarak’s type was listed incorrectly in the Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released on a Game-Key Card for the physical version.
*** Furthermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released on a Game-Key Card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game:
** With a retail release to be developed by [[Game Freak]], and the second overall after {{g|Quest}}, a download exclusive free-to-play title.
** To feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
** To feature a [[Pokédex]] with a [[List of Pokémon by Pokédex number in Pokémon Pokopia|unique numbering system]] that does not reflect the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]].
*** It is also the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a Pokédex since Pokémon Quest, as well as the first one to feature a [[regional Pokédex]]-style listing of Pokémon since [[New Pokémon Snap]].
* The Japanese title, "Poco a Pokémon", may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon''. Similarly, the name "Pokopia" used in other languages may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to {{p|Ditto}}) and ''utopia''.
* A "Pokopia Font Generator" web tool launched a meme trend for internet users to generate custom images with funny captions or pop-culture references in the font and style of the game's logo.<ref>[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/pokopia-font-generator Pokopia Font Generator | Know Your Meme]</ref>
* Pokémon Pokopia and [[Detective Pikachu Returns]] are the only [[Generation IX]] spin-off console titles to not have a corresponding version on mobile devices.

'''Fuchsia City''' (Japanese: '''セキチクシティ''' ''Sekichiku City'') is a city located in southwest [[Kanto]]. Its most distinguishing features are the {{safari|Kanto}} in the [[Generation]] {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} games and the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. [[Koga]] is the Fuchsia City [[Gym Leader]] until his daughter [[Janine]] takes over in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.

{{rt|15|Kanto}} leads into the city from the east, {{rt|18|Kanto}} from the west, and the beach of {{rt|19|Kanto}} is in the south.

[[Bill's grandfather]] lives in Fuchsia City.

In Generation II, the {{safari|Kanto}} is closed down. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Pal Park]] replaces the closed-down Safari Zone. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the zoo in the city is referred to as the Safari Zone, while the former Safari Zone's location is now occupied by [[GO Park]].

===Safari Zone===
{{main|Kanto Safari Zone}}
The Safari Zone is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the [[Baoba|Warden]].

For {{PDollar}}500, the {{player}} will receive 30 [[Safari Ball]]s. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, throw a Rock, and run away. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing a Rock does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

During [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives {{HM|03|Surf}}. During [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Safari Zone is not open. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} only, the Kanto [[Pal Park]] takes its place.

During [[Generation VII]], the regular catching mechanics of [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] is similar to the Safari Game, with different types of [[Berry]] being thrown to make catching instead of weakening wild Pokémon in battle. The Safari Zone now refers to the former [[#Pokémon Zoo|Pokémon Zoo]] in the front, and the [[GO Park]] out back.

===Safari Zone Warden===
{{main|Baoba}}
[[File:Safari Zone Warden.png|thumb|left|200px|Safari Zone Warden unable to speak clearly]]
Safari Zone Warden [[Baoba]] is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the southeastern side of the city. He lives in a cottage next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The locals of Fuchsia nicknamed the Warden "Slowpoke" because he has a vacant look similar to that seen on a {{p|Slowpoke}}. He's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which should only be natural as taking care of the Safari Zone {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is part of his job. He has a collection of rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. He has recently lost his [[Gold Teeth|false teeth]] in the Safari Zone{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or on {{rt|19|Kanto}}{{sup/7|PE}} and has become unable to speak clearly. If the player character returns his teeth to him, he'll give them {{HM|04|Strength}},{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or he will teach their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} the [[Secret Technique]] Strong Push and will give both the player and their Partner Pokémon the {{DL|List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Safari Set}}.{{sup/7|PE}} In [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|IV}}, [[wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind the Warden's house.

He also runs a promotion in the Safari Zone. Pokémon Trainers who find the Secret House on the grounds are given {{HM|03|Surf}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} As {{LGPE}} do not have the original version of the Safari Zone, the Secret House, or HMs, the games' rough equivalent of Surf, the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim, is taught to the player's Partner Pokémon by another NPC in Fuchsia City. It's probable that Baoba is friends with [[Koga]], as the [[Gym Leader]] patrols the grounds of the Safari Zone to keep things safe. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], can also be found just outside of the Safari Zone after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]], the Warden has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent Routes. As there is a [[GO Park]] in place of the original Safari Zone in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, The once-exclusive Pokémon are also moved there in the Generation VII games, with {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Scyther}},{{sup/7|P}} and {{p|Pinsir}}{{sup/7|E}} now being obtainable on {{rt|15|Kanto}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. It's also in these games that the Warden's name is revealed to be Baoba. Wishing to maintain the Safari Game, Baoba opens {{safari|Johto|another Safari Zone}} in [[Johto]].

===Move Deleter===
[[File:Move Deleter FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Move Deleter]]
In [[Generation III]], a [[Move Deleter]] resides in the house next to the Fuchsia City's [[Pokémon Center]]. The Move Deleter is a very forgetful man who lives alone. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] that it knows, provided that the move is not the only move which that Pokémon knows. He is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}. This house cannot be accessed in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, or {{gen|IV}}. In [[Generation VII]], the house is still accessible, now the residence of a young couple who inform the player that the Move Deleter "Mr. Dazzling" has moved away to the former home of the younger [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]] on {{rt|12|Kanto}}. As neither HMs nor the [[Super Rod]] are in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he now gives the player {{TM|32|Dazzling Gleam}}.

===Pokémon Zoo===
In Generations I and III, a Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in Generations II and IV. There are Pokémon on display, including {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Slowpoke}}. In addition, the [[Fossil]] that the player "shares" with the {{tc|Super Nerd}} in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be a {{p|Kabuto}} if the player chose the [[Helix Fossil]], and an {{p|Omanyte}} if the player chose the [[Dome Fossil]]. In [[Generation VII]], it is the front area of the Safari Zone, also known as the Playful Park. Chansey, Lapras, Voltorb, Kangaskhan, Slowpoke, and either Kabuto or Omanyte are still in this part of the city outside of the GO Park but now roam freely instead of being on display in enclosures.

===Berries===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a {{tc|Juggler}} that is found near [[Pal Park]] will hand out three different types of [[Berry|Berries]] each time a [[shard]] is traded. The types of Berries given to the {{player}} depend on the shard's color. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in [[Violet City]].

===Move Tutor===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, near the {{p|Kangaskhan}} exhibit, there is a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} who teaches the move {{m|Substitute}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Trainer in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fuchsia Gym===
[[File:Fuchsia Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
{{main|Fuchsia Gym}}
The Fuchsia Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Fuchsia City. It is based on {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Koga]]. However, by [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Gym Leader's duties have been taken up by Koga's daughter, [[Janine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who are victorious at this Gym receive the {{Badge|Soul}}.

The Gym contains a maze made of invisible walls. Under Janine's rule, an additional layer of challenge is added by having all the Gym Trainers be disguised as the Gym Leader until talked to.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.

==Differences among generations==
Three years from [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} to [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the city has changed quite dramatically. The Pokémon Zoo has closed down, transforming the northern half of the city into a grassy plain, only accessible by the use of {{m|Cut}}. There is also a small area in the northwestern part of the city, that contains a [[Burnt Berry]]. The southeasternmost house can no longer be entered, and a gap in the fence is added to let the player access the pond behind it.

In [[Generation II]], Warden Slowpoke has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent routes. In Generation IV, the Safari Zone is replaced with Pal Park instead, with a replacement Safari Zone now {{safari|Johto|found in Johto}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Fuchsia City ([[List of typos|misspelled]] Fuchia) appears on the Blue table; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Magikarp}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Withered Wastelands]] is based on Fuchsia City and the surrounding area. The region has suffered a longstanding drought, leaving most of the land barren and lifeless.

==In animation==
[[File:Fuchsia City anime 2.png|thumb|right|220px|Fuchsia City in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Even though {{Ash}} won the {{badge|Soul}} at the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', the Gym was located outside of Fuchsia City, thus resulting in the city itself not being visited at the time.

A [[Nurse Joy]] that entered the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' was from Fuchsia City.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====

The [[Battle Pike]] is also located near Fuchsia City.

Fuchsia City itself made its proper debut in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', where it was depicted as a deserted, dark-looking place. When her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} wandered off, {{an|May}} chased it to an abandoned railway station. There she discovered an old woman named [[Edna]], who told her that she was waiting for her husband, {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}, to return, even though the trains didn't use the station anymore.

From Edna's granddaughter {{OBP|Katrina|AG157}}, May heard that Edna and Jonathan had once operated a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center in Fuchsia City, until Jonathan had suggested that they leave for a while so he could study to become a doctor. Edna, however, had been unwilling to leave her hometown, so Jonathan left for the train station by himself, leaving behind a letter telling of his decision. After reading the letter, Edna had rushed to the station, intending to convince Jonathan to stay, for she, unbeknownst by Jonathan, was carrying a child. Unfortunately, she bumped into a {{tc|Gentleman}} on the way, preventing her from reaching Jonathan in time. Even though she got a letter a year later telling her that Jonathan had died in an accident, she still came to the station every day to wait for his return, refusing to believe that her husband was gone.

[[File:Fuchsia City past anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Fuchsia City in the past]]
[[File:Fuchsia City anime 1.png|thumb|left|220px|Fuchsia City in the alternate present]]
Soon after, May, Squirtle, and {{MTR}} found the pendant Edna had lost back when Jonathan had left. Suddenly the pendant started to glow, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth unexpectedly found themselves in the past, back at the day when Jonathan had left Edna. Not wanting the lovers to lose each other, May used her Squirtle's {{m|Ice Beam}} to change the falling rain into a snowfall, delaying the train's departure long enough for Edna to reach Jonathan in time and convince him to stay. Just then, the pendant started to glow again, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth were returned to the present, where their actions in the past had had dramatic results: Fuchsia City was no longer deserted and dark, but lively and full of light, with even the train station still being in use. Just then, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] arrived, telling May that her {{pkmn|Egg}} was about to hatch. When she went with the others to see her Egg at the Pokémon Center, she was surprised to see Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina, who were now working together as Pokémon {{wp|pediatrics|pediatricians}}. Due to the past having been changed, neither Edna or Katrina remembered May, and due to May, Squirtle, and Meowth being the only ones having [[Time travel|traveled through time]], they were the only ones aware of the alternate present.

Later at that night, after May's Egg hatched into an {{TP|May|Eevee}}, Ash, his friends, Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina witnessed the "Lights of Joy", where {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} danced around a tree in the middle of the city, something that the alternate present had lacked.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', Ash battled and defeated [[Hayden]], a Trainer from Fuchsia City, in a [[World Coronation Series]] match.

===Pokémon Origins===
Although Fuchsia City didn't make a proper appearance in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} did visit it briefly in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where he defeated Koga and earned the Soul Badge, and in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where he was seen visiting the {{safari|Kanto}} and catching a {{p|Chansey}} in there.

==In the manga==

[[File:Fuchsia City PM.png|thumb|150px|Fuchsia City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Fuchsia City first appeared ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' and ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', where {{adv|Red}} visited the {{safari|Kanto}}. His actions during the guided tour around the place caused him to get lost and nearly get killed by the [[wild Pokémon]], but eventually he managed to survive his experience, catching a ton of Pokémon along the way.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Fuchsia City made a cameo in ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]'', where [[Baoba]] and one of his [[Pidgebot]]s witnessed the stalling [[Team Rocket airship]] passing over the city.
{{left clear}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Fuchsia City appeared in ''[[PM015|Save the Chansey!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tried to save a group of {{p|Chansey}} from a Chansey Torturer hired by Koga.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} traveled to Fuchsia City in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', arriving there during the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival, where they reunited with {{an|Misty}}. During the group's stay in the city, Ash participated in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]] on behalf of [[Lara Laramie]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Fuchsia City appeared in [[PZ06]]. Soon after arriving in the city, {{zensho|Satoshi}} learned that the {{safari|Kanto}} [[Baoba|Warden]] had lost [[Gold Teeth|his dentures]] and agreed to help find them. After successfully finding the dentures and defeating [[Gym Leader]] [[Koga]] at the Safari Zone, Satoshi returned the dentures to the Warden as promised.

In this [[canon]], Fuchsia City used to be a ninja village, until the Safari Zone was built, although the Warden, being childhood friends with Koga, made sure to not get rid of the original Pokémon living in the area.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], [[Janine]] can be found behind the zoo saying that she is training to become the [[Gym Leader]]. Her name in the [[Fame Checker]] is erroneously listed as "Charine" in the English versions.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, wild {{p|Gyarados}} can be caught by fishing in the lake next to the Warden's house. This may be a reference to [[EP035]], where {{an|Misty}} fishes up a {{p|Gyarados}} in the {{safari|Kanto}}.
* Fuchsia City did not appear in {{aniseries|PTS}} until ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'' in the Battle Frontier saga, despite the Gym appearing in {{aniseries|OS}}, making it the only [[Kanto]] settlement to not appear during the original series.
* In Generation II, this city shares its music with [[Celadon City]] instead of with [[Cerulean City]] like in all other games.
* In Generation II, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] has green hair instead of red.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], two [[Master Trainer]]s found here share each other's names, although in different languages.

'''Chien-Pao''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パオジアン''' ''Paojian'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Chien-Pao is a member of the [[treasures of ruin]].

==Biology==
Chien-Pao is a quadrupedal, pantherine Pokémon with an elongated body composed of snow. Ice crystals run down its back and legs, and also forms its claws, eyes, and whiskers. Its large fangs, tipped with ice, comprise two pieces of a broken, ornately patterned sword. The sword's blade, which narrows slightly near the tip, forms its left fang; while the sword's hilt forms its right fang. The broken ends of the sword halves jut through Chien-Pao's upper jaw.

Like the other treasures of ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken sword forming its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it long ago — while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over ice and snow. Chien-Pao is described as being able to control 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches and playing around in them innocently. It is known as the Sword of Ruin.

Chien-Pao and the other treasures of ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}. Chien-Pao is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Sword of Ruin}} as an [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Chien-Pao, along with the other [[treasures of ruin]], appeared in a fantasy in [[PASV13]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Chien-Pao (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Chien-Pao has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Chien-Pao and the other [[treasures of ruin]] are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game.
* Chien-Pao is one of the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, the other ones being {{p|Snom}} and {{form|Rotom|Frost}} {{p|Rotom}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Chien-Pao may be based on the {{wp|snow leopard}} and the prehistoric ''{{wp|Smilodon}}'', one of the most well-known true saber-toothed cats. It also may be inspired by {{wp|Nimravidae|nimravids}} such as ''{{wp|Dinictis}}'' and ''{{wp|Hoplophoneus}}'', {{wp|saber-toothed predator}}s with elongated bodies closely related to {{wp|felid}}s. The pieces of a sword that it uses as fangs may have been inspired by bronze swords, particularly the ''{{wp|jian}}'' (double-edged straight sword); and they may make Chien-Pao a literal interpretation of a "saber-toothed cat".

The {{wp|weasel}}- or {{wp|linsang}}-like shape of its form likely alludes to the {{wp|Fu (tally)|tiger tally}} (虎符 ''hǔfú''), the proof of imperial authorization in ancient China for implementation of troop orders. Most examples of the tiger tally depict a stylized tiger long and crouching.

Chien-Pao and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Chien-Pao may be based on 窮奇 / 穷奇 ''Qióngqí'', a vicious tiger-like creature said to feed upon the flesh of righteous men, and was later identified as the prototype of ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'' in Japanese folklore, hence Chien-Pao's similar stats and typing to {{p|Weavile}}. It may also be partly inspired by the 檮杌 / 梼杌 ''Táowù'', another of the Four Perils known for its large tusks as well as having a {{wp|Taowu liui|genus of saber-toothed cats}} named after it.

Chien-Pao's {{Shiny}} coloring might allude to how the fur coat in some mammals living in icy areas, such as the {{wp|arctic fox}}, changes from white to brownish in warmer seasons.

====Name origin====
Chien-Pao and Paojian may be a combination of 劍 / 剑 ''jiàn'' (Chinese for sword) or 寶劍 / 宝剑 ''bǎojiàn'' (Chinese for treasure sword) and 豹 ''bào'' (Chinese for leopard). The English name is formatted in {{wp|Wade–Giles}}, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.

'''Celadon City''' (Japanese: '''タマムシシティ''' ''Tamamushi City'') is located in central [[Kanto]]. It is the most populous city in Kanto and the eighth most populous in the [[Pokémon world]], surpassing even [[Saffron City]] in the east. The city has two entrances, one from the east via {{rt|7|Kanto}}, and one from the west via {{rt|16|Kanto}}.

Celadon is the main place to spend money in Kanto, through the [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. It is the home of the [[Celadon Condominiums]], where residents of the city live, and the Celadon Hotel, where visitors can rest. Celadon is also home to [[Erika]], the city's [[Gym Leader]], and [[Eusine]], the hunter who pursues {{p|Suicune}}.

==Slogan==
===Generations I–III, VII===

==Places of interest==
===Celadon Department Store===
{{main|Celadon Department Store}}
Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in [[Kanto]]. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a rooftop floor.

===Celadon Condominiums===
{{main|Celadon Condominiums}}
Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to [[Generation IV]]) is located next to the [[Pokémon Center]].

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{player}} can find a Poké Ball containing an {{p|Eevee}} here. [[Game Freak]] has an office in this building, where the player can receive a [[diploma]] from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is where the player obtains the [[Tea]], which is required to enter Saffron City. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives the Tea from [[Brock]] in front of the building.

===Celadon Game Corner===
{{main|Celadon Game Corner}}
[[File:Celadon Game Corner Inside FRLG.png|240px|thumb|Celadon Game Corner]]
The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by [[Team Rocket]], being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The [[Team Rocket Hideout]] is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, [[TM]]s, and other items. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the {{wp|amusement arcade|arcade}} while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Team Rocket Hideout===
{{main|Team Rocket Hideout}}
The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.

===Celadon Hotel===
[[File:Capsule Monsters Hotel.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Capsule Monsters|concept art]] for a hotel that bears resemblance to a [[Pokémon Center]], much like the Celadon Hotel.]]
The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (but not {{game|Yellow}}), there is an {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|invisible PC access|invisible PC}} in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

===Move Tutors===
The man who can only be accessed by Surf gives out {{TM|41|Softboiled}} in [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he instead offers to directly teach this move to certain Pokémon.

{{tutormv/header|frlg|no|no}}
{{tutormv|Softboiled|Normal|tm=41}}

|}

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a {{tc|Tamer}} in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fortune Teller===
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a {{tc|Channeler}} called Madam Celadon with her {{p|Abra}}. For {{pdollar}}10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the [[Nature]] of [[wild Pokémon]] they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.

Due to lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

===Celadon Gym===
{{main|Celadon Gym}}
The Celadon Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Celadon City. It is based on {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Erika]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

The Celadon Gym is a garden full of Trainers. It is impossible to reach Erika without fighting at least one other Trainer and using {{m|Cut}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/2}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}/[[Secret Technique|Chop Down]].{{sup/7|PE}} In all versions and adaptations of Pokémon, Celadon Gym is consistently rendered as a greenhouse.

==Differences between generations==
Between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, there have been some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}} appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to [[Generation II|the previous generation]].

In [[Generation II]], Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved to the far western side of town. Over the course of two years, the small pond has grown very polluted; only {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} can be found there. Like Generation III, [[Generation IV]] has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The central pond has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Celadon City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Dratini}}.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Sparkling Skylands]] is based on Celadon City, Saffron City, and the surrounding area. Large chunks of both ruined cities are now suspended on floating islands, kept aloft by masses of mysterious crystals.

==In animation==
[[File:Celadon Skyline.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Celadon City first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth [[Badge]] at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]], the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with {{TRT}} and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "{{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a {{badge|Rainbow}} as thanks for saving her {{p|Gloom}} from the flames.

Ash and his friends briefly revisited Celadon City in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' after they just left it. Although it is not mentioned in the episode, according to official art for the [[P1 Grand Prix]] from the [[Game Freak]] website, the P1 Grand Prix takes place in the Celadon City Hall.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was mentioned that Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], where the episode's [[Nurse Joy]] studied Pokémon psychology. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Professor Oak}} used to teach there, and [[Foster]] was one of his top students.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', [[Chloe]] decided to visit the Celadon Gym in order to attend a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class held by Erika, so that her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} could meet Erika's {{p|Leafeon}}. To her surprise, Ash and [[Goh]] joined her on the trip as well, with Goh hoping to use it as an opportunity to help his {{TP|Goh|Pinsir}} win back his {{TP|Goh|Heracross}}'s love. The class ended up being interrupted by Team Rocket, but Pinsir's efforts in battling the villainous trio and defending Heracross from them proved equally effective in it regaining Heracross's affection.

===''I Choose You!''===
[[File:Celadon Gym M20.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|an alternate continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was shown challenging and defeating [[Erika]] at the Celadon City Gym, earning his third Badge from her.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's secret hideout]]. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, [[Giovanni]].

===Pokémon Generations===
The [[Celadon Game Corner]] briefly appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', showing the [[International Police]] raiding the building and arresting several members of Team Rocket.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Celadon City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Celadon City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Like in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Celadon City first appeared from ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' to ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive [[item]]s, all of which later turned out to be fake, from {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}} encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her [[Blasty|Wartortle]], but was stopped by Red and his [[Snor]]lax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his {{badge|Boulder|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}}s.

After having an encounter with [[Team Rocket]] and {{adv|Mew}}, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an {{p|Eevee}}. With the help of {{adv|Bill}}, Red soon found an [[Vee|Eevee]], but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into [[Eeveelution|its Evolutions]] and [[Devolution|back]]. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from [[Lorelei]], and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}}, sent to capture [[Pika]] by [[Agatha]], then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's {{p|Gastly}} then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by {{adv|Blue}}. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at {{rt|9|Kanto}}.

Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Celadon City was attacked by an army of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon army lost its strength.

[[File:Celadon City Zensho.png|thumb|200px|left|Celadon City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Celadon City appeared in ''[[PM009|Pikachu Was Kidnapped!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon ventured to the Game Corner, winning a lot of [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]. Team Rocket tried to steal {{PPM|Red's Pikachu}}, but were stopped by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Celadon City appeared in [[PZ05]], where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from [[Lavender Town]] in order to get a [[Silph Scope]], but after snatching one from the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by {{m|slash}}ing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a {{badge|Rainbow}}.

==Trivia==
* Many [[Gym Leader]]s have appeared at one point or another within Celadon City. [[Erika]], as its own Gym Leader, resides there, while [[Jasmine]], [[Falkner]], [[Janine]], [[Maylene]], and [[Crasher Wake]] stop by at times during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. [[Giovanni]] also appears here during [[Generation I]] and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|its remakes|s}}, as the Rocket Boss in [[Team Rocket Hideout|the hideout]] under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]], while {{ga|Blue}} is known to have visited the city to challenge Erika in Generation I and its remakes. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} also have visited the city, along with {{Ash}}, in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the [[Generation I]] games, the two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s that can be seen in the city remain even after [[Team Rocket]] is thwarted by the player at [[Silph Co.]] This was changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** However, a pair of grunts in the house near the restaurant remain even after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being [[Nimbasa City]]. They are more populous than [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]], respectively. This also happens in Sinnoh, but only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} where [[Hearthome City]] is more populous than [[Jubilife City]].
** Coincidentally, Nimbasa City and Celadon City are both home to the fourth Gyms of their regions.
* In the Japanese version of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games, there are [[wikipedia:Butsudan|butsudan]] (Buddhist shrines) in some Celadon City buildings. They return the text "ぶつだんだ……" (It's a butsudan...) in Generation I and "ぶつだんだ…… うーんおせんこうのにおい" (It's a butsudan... Hmm, the smell of incense.) in Generation II.
** In the English version, the references to butsudan were removed from the text. Instead, they return the text "It's a sculpture of DIGLETT." in Generation I and "What is this? Oh, it's an incense burner!" in Generation II.
** These objects are absent from the [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] remakes of these games.
* In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, Celadon City's design is heavily based on the historic {{wp|Fremont Street}} in {{wp|Las Vegas}}.
* Though it isn't shown in the games, Celadon City is home to the [[Celadon University]]. Its alumni include [[Bill]], [[Celio]], Kazuki, and [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]].<ref>https://www.pokemon.jp/special/moyadoga/guide/science.html</ref>
** [[Hammerlocke]] in [[Galar]] is similarly known to have a university that the player cannot visit.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
Celadon City may correspond to {{wp|Setagaya}}, a {{wp|Special wards of Tokyo|special ward}} of {{wp|Tokyo}} that has the largest population with its many residential neighbourhoods.

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

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

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

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

Vermilion is also home to the {{pkmn|Fan Club Chairman}}. He can be found in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] house located just slightly north of the [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. By talking to him, the {{player}} can obtain a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] for a free [[bicycle|bike]],{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} a [[Rare Candy]],{{sup/2}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or special [[List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|clothing]] sets.{{sup/7|PE}}

In {{game|Yellow}}, an [[Officer Jenny]] found here will give out a {{p|Squirtle}} if the {{player}} has received the {{Badge|Thunder}}. In {{LGPE}}, she instead gives it to the player if they've caught at least 60 individual Pokémon.

===Port===

Anne]],{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} [[S.S. Aqua]],{{sup/2}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} and [[Seagallop]]{{sup/3|FRLG}} dock here.

A truck present in the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} games has also been the source of {{DL|S.S. Anne|rumors}}.

{{sign|DPcity|header}}

{{sign|DPcity|All Pokémon Fans Welcome!}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

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

By talking to the {{pkmn||Fan Club Chairman}}, he will start a long talk with the {{player}}. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} at length and then gives the {{player}} a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] to get a [[bicycle]],{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} a [[Rare Candy]],{{sup/2}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or [[List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|clothing]] sets for the player based on {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}} or {{p|Eevee}},{{sup/7|E}} or clothing sets for both the player and their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} based on {{p|Raichu}}{{sup/7|P}} or the [[Eeveelution]]s.{{sup/7|E}} In {{game|Yellow}}, he has a new hobby: taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse.

===Vermilion Gym===
{{main|Vermilion Gym}}
[[File:Vermilion Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Vermilion Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
The Vermilion Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Vermilion City. Its [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], focuses on {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Thunder}}. The [[Vermilion Gym]] appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in [[Generation I]], and an electric fence in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|VII}}. The only way to get in the final room in these [[generation]]s, where [[Lt. Surge]] is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the {{player}} incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In [[Generation II]], these traps are not turned on. After [[Lt. Surge]] is defeated, he will give the {{player}} the Thunder Badge, {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}{{sup/1}}/{{TM|34|Shock Wave}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}/{{TM|36|Thunderbolt}},{{sup/7|PE}} Surge's [[Autograph]],{{sup/7|PE}} and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}

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

===In-game trade===
In one of the houses south and a little east of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Pidgey}} (in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]]) or {{p|Spearow}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "<sc>Dux</sc>" in [[Generation I]] or "<sc>Ch'ding</sc>" in [[Generation III]], and it will be holding a [[Leek|Stick]] in Generation III. The [[Original Trainer|OT]] will be "<sc>Elyssa</sc>" and its [[Trainer ID number|ID]] will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded.

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

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], this house is occupied by a {{tc|Gentleman}} who owns a Farfetch'd, again nicknamed Dux like the girl from Generation I's Farfetch'd, but he instead intends to catch Spearow himself.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee, a {{tc|Hiker}} in the Pokémon Center will trade an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}} for a Geodude from [[Kanto]]. This can be done repeatedly.

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

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

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red and Blue===
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the population of Vermilion City is 25 (not including the passengers on the [[S.S. Anne]]).

===Pokémon Yellow===
In {{game|Yellow}}, the population of Vermilion City has increased to 26 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne). This is because Officer Jenny has been added.

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

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

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

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

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, [[Bleak Beach]] is based on Vermilion City and the surrounding area. Many of the canals have flooded due to time and neglect, while an unnatural cloud cover makes the area perpetually dark even in the daytime. The ruined hulk of the S.S. Anne is also present in the remains of the port.

==In animation==
[[File:Vermilion City JN.png|thumb|250px|Vermilion City in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Vermilion City debuted in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where {{Ash}} battled Lt. Surge for his third Badge. The harbor appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', when Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} boarded the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', [[O]] was revealed to have a Pokémon Ping-Pong center in Vermilion City. [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is currently training there.

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

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Vermilion City had a prominent role as the hometown of [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]]. [[Professor Cerise]]'s aptly-named [[Cerise Laboratory]] was officially opened there in ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]''. Goh and Ash became Cerise's [[Professor's assistant|research assistant]]s after documenting their chance encounter with a {{p|Lugia}}, and resided at the Cerise Laboratory during this series. Professor Cerise's daughter Chloe also lives in the city and attends a local school. In ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', Chloe was shown to live in a house with her father, [[Talia|mother]], and [[Parker|younger brother]]. In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh was shown to have grown up in an apartment building with his [[Walker|father]], [[Camille|mother]], and [[Halta|grandmother]]. In ''[[JN040|A Crackling Raid Battle!]]'', the [[Kanto Power Plant]] was revealed to be located near Vermilion City.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', an outbreak of {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}, a part of natural phenomena known as the "Ivysaur march", was causing traffic and minor chaos across the city. The {{t|Grass}} Pokémon made their way to their former grassland, to the north of Vermilion, which is now a construction site for a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}. After scaling the building, the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur [[Evolution|evolved]] together and released pollen into the air, causing all of the city's flowers to bloom.

In ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]'', Ash, Goh, and {{TRT}} participated in the [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]] in Vermilion City, with Goh eventually winning.

Ash and Goh both left Vermilion City in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'' to start traveling on their own.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Vermilion City Zensho.png|thumb|230px|Vermilion City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Vermilion City appeared in [[PZ04]], where it was visited by {{zensho|Satoshi}}. With the [[S.S. Ticket]] he had received from [[Bill]], he visited the [[S.S. Anne]], where he beat {{Zensho|Shigeru}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} and met the ship's seasick captain. The captain told Satoshi that he was looking for a sergeant who had served in the same army unit with him in the army and uses {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Visiting the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] for clues, Satoshi learned that the man he was looking for was [[Lt. Surge]], the city's [[Gym Leader]]. At the [[Vermilion Gym]], Satoshi had a battle with Lt. Surge, beating his {{p|Electabuzz}} with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}.

After the battle, Surge revealed that his Pokémon had once accidentally knocked over a tall tree towards a lieutenant he held in high regard and fled without looking back, considering himself a coward for doing so. However, said soldier turned out to be the captain of the S.S. Anne, who had saved himself from the falling tree with his specialty skill of using {{m|Cut}}. Out of gratitude, Satoshi received a {{badge|Thunder}} and {{HM|01|Cut}} from the two men, who then set sail together aboard the S.S. Anne.

==Trivia==
* Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral {{wp|cinnabar}}. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, normally the cutscene with {{p|Suicune}} that occurs here will end with Suicune running east, through the southwestern entrance to {{rt|11|Kanto}}. However, if the player triggers this cutscene from said location instead of the port, Suicune will instead run south. However, [[Eusine]] will still appear on the port as usual.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
Geographically, Vermilion City appears to be based on {{wp|Chiba (city)|Chiba}}, the capital city of {{wp|Chiba Prefecture}}. However, its design, especially as it appears in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', seems to be mostly based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the capital city of {{wp|Kanagawa Prefecture}}. Additionally, during the announcement for the 2023 [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]], [[The Pokémon Company]] used a trailer with footage of Vermilion City taken from the [[Generation I]] games before announcing that the event would be held in Yokohama.<ref>
Play Pokémon (@playpokemon) on [https://twitter.com/playpokemon/status/1561383485323055109 Twitter]: Now announcing the destination for #PokemonWorlds 2023…</ref>

Vermilion City may also be inspired by {{wp|Yokosuka}}, which has a United States Navy base, a possible inspiration for Vermilion Gym and Lt. Surge as an "American" soldier.

===Pewter Museum of Science===
{{main|Pewter Museum of Science}}
[[File:Pewter Museum of Science HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
One of Pewter City's main attractions is the famous museum located in the northwestern part of the city. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several scientific artifacts.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a [[fossil]] exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The second floor hosts a space exhibit, featuring a space shuttle and a large [[Moon Stone]] that fell from space and landed on [[Mt. Moon]]. The {{player}} is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the admission fee.

Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained,{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or after the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} is taught the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down,{{sup/7|PE}} the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is also a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}} to one of the player's compatible Pokémon.

The museum is closed for renovations during [[Generation II]]. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}}, unlike in Generation II, where players were required to transfer Fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} using the [[Time Capsule]].

===Pewter Gym===
[[File:Pewter Gym HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pewter Gym in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{main|Pewter Gym}}
The Pewter Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Pewter City. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Brock]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat him receive the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

Other known members include {{tc|Camper}} Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, and Brock's mother, [[Lola]].

Pewter Gym appears in all {{pkmn|games}} set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a {{wp|Japanese rock garden}} inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, whenever the {{player}} tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead them to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

==Signs==
* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, there's a notice about [[Team Rocket|thieves]] that have been stealing Pokémon [[fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]] and to contact Pewter Police with any information to assist them in stopping the troublemakers.
* In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there's a sign that welcomes the player to the city. Also in [[Generation II]], there's a notice about the Gift Shop at the [[Mt. Moon Square]] being now open.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the population of Pewter City is 28.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Pewter City is 18. This decrease is due in part to the closing of the Pewter Museum of Science.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Pewter City is 33.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

==In animation==
[[File:Pewter City anime.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Pewter City's center features many tall buildings, including a [[Pokémon Center]], which differs from its craggy surroundings. A [[Contest Hall]] is located on the outskirts of the city. Pewter City also serves as one of the locations of the [[Battle Pyramid]]. In the Japanese version of [[EP006]], [[Seymour]] was revealed to work for the Pewter Museum of Science. In addition to Brock, Pewter City is also the [[hometown]] of [[Top Coordinator]] [[Solidad]] and Trainer [[Pete Pebbleman]], who was defeated by Ash during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Pewter City first appeared in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Pewter Gym]] for his first [[Badge]]. After suffering his first loss to {{an|Brock}}, {{ka|Flint}} caught up with Ash and directed him to an old hydroelectric plant located by a dry river bed, where he could charge {{AP|Pikachu}} up with electricity. After charging Pikachu up, Ash returned to the Gym, where Pikachu accidentally set off its sprinkler system, allowing it to win the [[rematch]] against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Despite this, Ash decided to forfeit the match, feeling like he did not deserve to win. Nevertheless, Brock still chose to give him a {{badge|Boulder}}. The Gym was subsequently left under Flint's care while Brock decided to join Ash on his travels.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', it was revealed that Brock's mother [[Lola]] had recently returned home and added a brighter color scheme to the Gym, while also changing it to a {{type|Water}} Gym. The Gym returned to its heritage {{type|Rock}} theme after Brock defeated his mother in battle.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], [[Forrest]] officially became the new Pewter City [[Gym Leader]] after a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] recognized him as a worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}} for the duty.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The city reappeared in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', when Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. While enjoying the [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] on show, Goh uncovered an [[Old Amber]] and later had it restored, {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the newly revived {{TP|Goh|Aerodactyl}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Route 2 PO.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Pewter City made an appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. While visiting the Museum of Science, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} overheard two girls talking about [[Brock]], the local [[Gym Leader]]. When he went to the Gym, he found out that Brock was the same man whom he had encountered earlier, just after losing a battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.

Red then started a Gym battle with Brock, during which the Rock-type Gym Leader gave the beginner Trainer basic advices of strategy, such as those involving {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. During the battle, Red came to realize that he and his Pokémon were in the battle together, making them his partners. Eventually, Red was able to defeat Brock, earning the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{TM|34|Bide}}. Afterwards, the young Trainer departed Pewter City, doubly determined to fulfill his quest of completing the [[Pokédex]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Pewter City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Pewter City first appeared ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Red}} learned that the townspeople were trying to catch a [[Pika]]chu, which had been stealing food from the local marketplace. Using his [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Red put Pikachu {{status|asleep}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} him without issue. Pikachu did, however, remain [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards him, something that Red's [[rival]], {{adv|Blue}}, mocked him for. He also told Red that he was intending on battling the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]], in order to earn the {{badge|Boulder}} and make his Pokémon stronger, and challenged Red to do the same. However, the local [[Pokémon Center]] had been attacked the previous night, leaving Red's only good choices against {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, Bulbasaur and [[Poli]]whirl, low on [[HP]].

In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] just in time to witness Blue winning himself a Boulder Badge. Red used Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl to face and defeat the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but by the time the battle against Brock came, both of them were too exhausted to continue, forcing Red to use his disobedient Pikachu against [[Brock's Onix]]. Despite the obedience issues and type disadvantage, Pikachu eventually defeated Onix by breaking its body apart, earning Red his own Boulder Badge.

Red briefly revisited Pewter City in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' with {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he had met in [[Diglett's Cave]] and assumed to be just a [[fossil]] collector. Upon arriving in the city, they noticed that the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] had been set on fire by two {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Magmar}}. Red decided to use his recently caught {{p|Sandshrew}} against them, eventually succeeding in immobilizing them with sand. Giovanni gave Red an [[Old Amber]] before parting ways with him, and when the Magmar started moving again, Giovanni had his {{p|Cloyster}} {{status|freeze}} and kill them, revealing his association with [[Team Rocket]] in the process.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', a group of {{p|Machop}} sent by [[Bruno]] attacked Pewter City as part of the [[Elite Four]]'s attack on the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. While Brock fought against them to defend his hometown, he discovered that the Elite Four was after his Badge. Once {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon armies attacking Kanto lost their strength and collapsed.

[[File:Pewter City PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]''. After seeing {{PPM|Green}} getting tossed out of the local Gym, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} became afraid of fighting against Brock's Onix and tried to flee, forcing {{PPM|Red}} to drag him back inside. Once Clefairy found out that his cousin, {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, was a part of Brock's Pokémon collection, he was infuriated and finally became motivated to battle. Onix was eventually defeated by Clefairy's gag moves, making Red the winner and allowing him to take Pikachu with him.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PS05|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} challenged Brock at the Pewter Gym. Despite Brock's Onix having an advantage over {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmander}}, Satoshi eventually won by having Charmander chop off Onix's horn, earning him the Boulder Badge.

==Trivia==
* [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Rustboro City]] are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective [[region]]s are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest early in the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a [[Gym]], but first to be beat by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and play a role in the player obtaining [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
** [[Oreburgh City]] is also very similar to Pewter City, as they are both surrounded by mountains, both of their [[Gym]]s specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and they both contain a museum. [[Nacrene City]] is also similar, as it is near a forest and has a museum; however, unlike Pewter City, [[Goldenrod City]] and Rustboro City, Nacrene City comes ''before'' a forest, not ''after''.
* If the player enters "''[[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Event Is Exciting]]''" to the girl asking for the player's profile in the [[Pokémon Center]], she will mention that her cousin used to say that a lot, referring to the man in the Pokémon Center of [[Petalburg City]] who asks for the player's profile in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, if the player tries to deposit the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or view its stats while it is asleep from {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the game will not allow this, yielding the message "There isn't any response..." (Japanese: あれ？　いない⋯ ''Eh? There's no one...'')
** In Pokémon Yellow, if Pikachu is asleep because of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the player will be unable to use the [[Link Cable]] features. In this case, the Link Cable attendant simply says her original preparation message: "Welcome to the Cable Club! We're making preparations. Please wait."
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when the player accesses the [[Help System]], Jigglypuff's song stops.
* In the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, [[Roxanne]] says that the Pewter City Gym is the flagship of all the Rock-type Gyms.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the NPC with a {{p|Butterfree}} mentions that her Butterfree is female, but it lacks the {{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Generation I|black spots on its lower wings}}.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Pikachu evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Pikachu has sixteen alternate [[#Form data|forms]] that fall into four groups: '''[[Cosplay Pikachu]]''', '''[[Pikachu in a cap]]''', the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu''', and '''Gigantamax Pikachu'''. Ordinary Pikachu can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Pikachu if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, the partner Pikachu, and Pikachu with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{g|Yellow Version}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and one of [[Nintendo]]'s major mascots. It is also the [[game mascot]] and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon: Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition]] and {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, as well as in {{g|Rumble Blast}} and {{g|Rumble World}}, and has made numerous appearances on the covers of spin-off games.

==Biology==
[[File:HOME0845Go.png|thumb|left|200px|A Pikachu who has been accidentally partially {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by a {{p|Cramorant}}]]
Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Pikachu has a "V"-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs; therefore, Pikachu is a facultative biped.

Pikachu stores electric energy using the small pouches in its cheeks in case it is attacked, so one might feel a small shock if it is touched. These pouches become electrically charged during the night as it sleeps, so a dozy Pikachu may occasionally discharge electricity after waking up. If it does not get enough sleep, it will not be able to release said electricity at its full power. When angered or threatened, Pikachu quickly unleashes the electric energy from its cheeks, which can reach the intensity of a lightning bolt. This also serves as a sign that it's wary, and it will feel stressed if it's unable to fully release the electricity. In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Pikachu is shown to accumulate energy in its glands, which it will need to eject to avoid complications. When several Pikachu form a group, they are capable of causing thunder storms by building up electricity. If one Pikachu sees another one who is weakened and in need of help, it revitalizes it by recharging it with an electric shock. However, as seen with [[Peakychu]], overusing this ability alters its physical structure, causing it to lose its ability to generate electricity and its fur to become pale. In [[Alola]], a plan was recently announced to help build an electric power plant by gathering many Pikachu. If its cheek sacs are very soft and stretchy, this means that it can generate powerful electricity. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Pikachu is known to emit electricity through its cheeks while sleeping, perhaps because it's dreaming of firing electric shots.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Pikachu is a curious, playful, and intelligent Pokémon who primarily eats fruits and roasts {{Berries}} with its electricity to make them tender enough to eat. However, it can end up accidentally burning them too much if it underestimates the intensity of its charge, as it has a tendency to blast new things it finds. In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], it is also depicted eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. Pikachu raises its tail to monitor its surroundings and bites [[Human|people]] who yank it, as it does not like having it pulled. While doing this, its tail is sometimes struck by lightning. {{pkmn2|Wild}} Pikachu live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}} away from people and with others of its kind in nests, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Such forests are dangerous, though, as trees there are often struck by lightning. When Pikachu meet, their tails make contact and they exchange electricity through them to greet each other. Relatedly, in ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', it is shown that Pikachu from Alola are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it is considered exceptionally rare, though it seems to be a quite common Pokémon in other forms of media. Many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s prefer Pikachu's cute appearance over {{p|Raichu}}'s, which is why the latter is not commonly seen among them. Because of the popularity of Pikachu-themed merchandise, {{p|Mimikyu}} dresses itself in a Pikachu cloth in an effort to look less scary and make friends and appease its loneliness.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Mimikyu | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160917171041/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ archived])</ref> Unfortunately, its creepy costume only ends up doing the opposite. By occasion, Pikachu can get unintentionally {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter. Pikachu, along with {{p|Pichu}} and Raichu, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pikachu and its [[evolution]]ary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, as well as the only one who can use the [[Light Ball]] [[item]].
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is always [[Gender|female]], has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]: [[Cool]], [[Beautiful]], [[Cute]], [[Clever]], and [[Tough]].

</div>

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] is always male and has eight variants, each wearing one of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{AP|hat}}s from {{aniseries|PTS}}. This form of Pikachu is somewhat rare and wears the hat of its partner, who is its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The cap is a bit loose because it is not the right size, but brims with memories of Pikachu and its Trainer's first encounter and is proof that they have traveled through many [[region]]s together.

Pikachu in a cap is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, but cannot use {{m|Catastropika}} or [[Gigantamax]].

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu is the Pokémon the player starts with in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}. It can be either gender and has higher [[base stat]]s than normal Pikachu. The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

The partner Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, and {{m|Splishy Splash}}, as well as the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)#Exclusive moves|Partner Power]] {{m|Pika Papow}}.

{{-}}

====Gigantamax Pikachu====
As [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier, and its tail becomes longer with three red clouds floating around it.

The Gigantamax phenomenon expands Pikachu's power and forms its massive body and tail. As a result, the might of Gigantamax Pikachu's electricity is equal to that of a power plant; despite this, it is difficult to use to power peoples' homes since it can only remain in this form for a short amount of time. All the electricity it produces in its cheek sacs goes to its tail, enabling it to attack foes in {{pkmn|battle}}s with electric jolts as powerful as lightning strikes.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/ Gigantamax Pikachu | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

==== Mr. Windychu & Ms. Wavychu ====
[[Mr. Windychu]] and [[Ms. Wavychu|Mrs. Wavychu]] will be characters in [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]] respectively.

They resemble a tanned Pikachu with clothes similar to the playable character. No further information is known.

===Evolution===
Pikachu [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} and evolves into {{p|Raichu}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Partner Pikachu}}, and Pikachu with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve.

==Game data==
===As the player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There, he goes on a quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark, which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark, he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save it from danger.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
* These notable [[Pokémon Trainer]]s all use Pikachu:
** [[Lt. Surge]] uses a Pikachu in {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** {{ga|Red}}, who makes NPC appearances in [[Generation II]], {{pkmn|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, White 2}}, and [[Generation VII]], owns a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, typically as his highest [[level]]ed Pokémon. Usually, he represents the {{player}} from the [[Kanto]]-based games, particularly {{game|Yellow}} in which his [[first partner Pokémon]] was a Pikachu. Starting in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pikachu will always be holding a [[Light Ball]] when applicable.
** [[Wattson]] uses a Pikachu exclusively in his second rematch in {{game|Emerald}}. In subsequent {{pkmn|battle}}s, it has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Raichu}}.
** [[Trevor]] uses his Pikachu during the main story of {{g|X and Y}}. In his second battle against the player, it has evolved into a Raichu.
** [[Hau]]'s main partner in {{game4|7}} is a Pikachu who eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu. It is first seen as a {{p|Pichu}}.
** {{ga|Trace}}'s main partner in {{LGPE|Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!}} is a Pikachu which later evolves into a Raichu.
** The player's [[friend]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, either {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}} (depending on the player's [[gender]]), has a Pikachu. It is seen as their main partner and will often appear outside its {{hi|Poké Ball}}.
** The {{tc|Poké Kid}} {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} is known to use Pikachu. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, only male Poké Kids will use Pikachu as a parallel to the female Poké Kids, who use {{p|Eevee}}.
* [[Ikue Ohtani]], the voice of Pikachu, makes cameo appearances in Pokémon Gold, Silver, HeartGold and SoulSilver (all as [[Picknicker]] Brooke), in X and Y (as [[Breeder]] Mercy), and in all [[Generation VII]] games, where she owns a Pikachu. In {{LGPE}}, Ikue is the [[Master Trainer]] for Pikachu.
* Pikachu has appeared in the overworld in many titles as interactable NPCs.
* Several images of Pikachu show up in {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Mimikyu}}'s chamber, notably [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Pop Star]].

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to Red) who was recently taught how to interact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day, Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if it is [[transfer]]red from another game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball, but is sometimes helped by Pichu. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, this game focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Pikachu named [[Peakychu]] is a supporting character in the game. Due to using up large amounts of her own electricity to aid her friends, she has become abnormally pale and can no longer generate electricity without outside assistance.

===Form data===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game [[Pokédex]]; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Experience the World of Pokémon | Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref>

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}}, and it does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]], despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] are eight {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, non-interchangeable forms of Pikachu that debuted in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]], and they cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry|cries]] differ from that of regular Pikachu. They are not present in {{LGPE}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Six variants exist in Pokémon Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|SM}}. A seventh variant debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}}.

The original six Pikachu in a cap were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the 20th [[Pokémon movie]], and by extension, the 20th anniversary of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in a cap (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the TV show's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]].

</div>

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu has a separate [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation VII|internal index]] from standard Pikachu. This allows it to have higher [[base stats]] than wild Pikachu.

The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} will refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, where it is given by {{TCG GB|Isaac}} to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
Two Pikachu figures have been released.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{main|Pikachu (Pokkén)}}
{{main|Pikachu Libre (Pokkén)}}
{{pokken|Pikachu}} is a Battle Pokémon in Pokkén Tournament. His moveset includes electrical attacks the species uses in the main games, including {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Electro Ball}}, and {{m|Thunder}}. During Synergy Burst, he can use the Burst Attack Volt Shock Fist. Several of his attacks and victory poses are directly taken from {{wp|Heihachi Mishima|Heihachi}} and {{wp|Kazuya Mishima}}'s movesets from the ''{{wp|Tekken}}'' series.

==Trivia==
* Pikachu and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Pikachu is capable of learning {{m|Surf}} via [[TM]], when it was previously only obtainable through special means.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that serves as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] games that has a pre-evolved form. However, {{p|Pichu}} (its pre-evolved form) does not exist in either game in which it fills this role.
* Pikachu has the most {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon with two exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive Z-Moves.
* The Pikachu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to [[Mega Evolution]], exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number in Generation I|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the {{pkmn|battle}} sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]). Before Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in the core series games.
** Its battle cry differs from status or [[Pokédex]] screens.
** The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has unique [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice clips]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
** From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Pikachu's cry switched to a slightly modified version of its pre-Gen VI cry.
* Pikachu is the only core series first partner Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{game4|BWB2W2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in Generation VI, as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu is currently represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by more cards than any other Pokémon, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.

===Merchandise===
[[File:Pikachu Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Pikachu in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Pikachu appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess but behaves like a gold general in shogi.
* Pikachu was the focus of a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} [[Sleeping Pikachu Collection|collection]] in June 2014.

===Real life===
* The {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade | New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 {{pkmn|10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade}} in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|200px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
* The nation of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin with its coat of arms on one side and Pikachu on the other to promote the [[Pokémon]] franchise.
* Pikachu has served as [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of several scientific discoveries:
** In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}. According to them, it was so named for sharing Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".<ref>[http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/science/20080722TDY02306.htm Researchers: 'Pikachurin' protein linked with kinetic vision | Daily Yomiuri Online] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20080727140433/http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/science/20080722TDY02306.htm archived])</ref>

===Concept and development===
Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at [[Game Freak]].<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY | Natsume]</ref><ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu had a short, stout design during the initial release of {{g|Red and Green}}, but its design was altered for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and subsequent entries of the games, becoming slightly taller and skinnier. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Pikachu's design was altered to make animating its actions easier.<ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu is depicted with a white belly similar to its evolved form, {{p|Raichu}}, in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]], {{file|Bandai Pikachu card.jpg|as seen here}}.

Pikachu also originally had a second-stage [[Evolution]] named [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ ピカチュウは大福？　初めて明かされる誕生秘話 (Is Pikachu Daifuku?

[[Gigantamax]] Pikachu was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559091292889497602</ref>

===Origin===
Pikachu was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears sticking out. Its black ear tips are remnants of this original concept.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra/>

Nishida named Pikachu "without giving it much thought", and while it wasn't originally intended to be based on a {{wp|mouse}}, [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] made the decision to base it on such. During the process of making Pikachu "cuter", as per the instructions of game designer [[Kōji Nishino]], Nishida added cheek pouches for it to store electricity in. These were inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. Pikachu's yellow coloration and lightning bolt-shaped tail were given to express Pikachu's electrical attributes and make its type easier to recognise and understand. According to Nishida, Pikachu's stripes aren't based on anything in particular, and were added to fill the empty space on Pikachu's back, as it is always visible during battle.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra />

Pikachu's [[Gigantamax]] form is a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}.<ref name=Chunkachu>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559317105798811648.</ref>

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' ({{wp|onomatopoeia}} for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html The Ultimate Game Freak | Time]</ref>

'''Professor Tangrowth''' (Japanese: '''モジャンボはかせ''' ''Dr. Mojumbo'') is a supporting character of {{g|Pokopia}}. He is a {{p|Tangrowth}} and the last remaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Kanto]] before [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] came along,<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/explore/ Explore | Pokémon Pokopia]</ref> and teaches Ditto the basics of life in town.<ref name=PokopiaTwitter>(November 13, 2025). [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1989000303786512489 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] ([https://archive.ph/iKCKe archive])</ref>

Evoking the appearance of a [[Pokémon Professor]], Professor Tangrowth has a unique appearance compared to regular Tangrowth, with white vines covering the top half of its body. It wears and uses [[human]] tools,<ref name=PokopiaTwitter/> namely a broken pair of glasses, a stick, and a [[TM]] on top of its head.

==History==
===Background===
When Professor Tangrowth was still a young {{P|Tangela}}, he was found injured and weak by a [[Pokémon Professor]], who healed him with a [[potion]], causing the Pokémon to take a liking to them and follow them home. Now living with the professor, he started playing with their grandchild and even other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who come to visit. During that time, he also became interested in [[human]] devices and activities, seeming intrigued by the professor working on a computer and looking enthralled by things such as [[Pokédex]]es and {{i|Poké Ball}}s. He would later demonstrate a strong understanding of the purpose and operation of most common human technology, ostensibly as a result of its observations.

While humanity is evacuated into space, all Pokémon, including Tangela, would be stored in a massive computer system as part of the "Pokémon Conservation Project". However, when the professor entrusted him to other project members to store him away, Tangela ran off, likely to try and get back home. The day of departure had arrived, but Tangela was nowhere to be found, leading to the professor leaving the Pokémon behind. After the humans' disappearance and his evolution into {{p|Tangrowth}}, he found and wore the professor's glasses on his chest.

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the appliances ordered from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it has not possessed any appliance or is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, it is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}, and learns {{m|Thunder Shock}} if the move it had in its other forms is the only one it knows.
* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|boombox|mini stereo system}}, it becomes '''Stereo Rotom''', which is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}}. Stereo Rotom was introduced in [[Pokémon Pokopia]] as a character known as [[DJ Rotom]].

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.

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

In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]], which can also be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals, and [[Drone Rotom]].

==Biology==
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body made of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom's base form is actually inhabiting a light bulb.

Rotom has the ability to enter and control electronic appliances. It typically uses its abilities to cause mischief, often using the household items it possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], and [[Drone Rotom]] are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', [[Rotom Pokédex (anime)|Rotom]] was shown possessing a [[Pokémon Center]] building. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom is highly intelligent. It tends to reside in abandoned buildings. It lacks any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref> Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel|send people through time]] by possessing an elevator.

===Forms===
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|200px|left|Rotom and its appliances]]
Rotom has five alternate forms in the [[core series]]: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom; all introduced in {{g|Platinum}}. A sixth form, Stereo Rotom, was introduced in {{g|Pokopia}}.
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|right|Rotom transforming]]
Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor. When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes. In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom and its forms existed in [[Hisui]] hundreds of years ago, being documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] by [[Professor Laventon]]. This was apparently a result of appliances being sent to the past via [[space-time distortion]]s.

====Heat Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Heat Rotom by possessing a convection {{wp|microwave oven}}. Its appendages turn into oven mittens, and its eyes and aura become red. It has an aptitude for manipulating flames, which it uses for mischievous purposes, such as happily scorching the surrounding are or burning people's favorite outfits. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====Wash Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Wash Rotom by inhabiting a {{wp|washing machine}}. Its appendages turn into clothespins, and its eyes and aura become blue. The washing machine model it possess has been discontinued, leading people to sell them at high prices. It enjoys playing water-based pranks, such as spraying cold water everywhere or flooding people's rooms, and blasts enemies with water to intimidate them and incite them to retreat.

====Frost Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Frost Rotom by taking control of a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its appendages are shaped like lightning bolts, and its eyes and aura become purple. It fights by spewing cold air, which it gleefully uses for practical jokes like freezing people's baths or its surroundings. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to Rotom's ability to change forms.

====Fan Rotom====
Rotom turns into Fan Rotom by taking over an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}. Its appendages turn into air curls, and its eyes and aura become yellow. It can stir up powerful gusts of wind to blow away opponents, which it applies to its love for pranks by blowing away everything around it, such as important documents it finds. The electric fan that Fan Rotom inhabits was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it.

====Mow Rotom====
Rotom turns into Mow Rotom by possessing a {{wp|lawn mower|lawn mower}}. Its appendages turn into a ripped strip, and its eyes and aura become green. focuses its antics on plants. As it mows down grass, it scatters the clippings everywhere and destroys flowers and trees. The lawn mower Mow Rotom possesses led to the development of the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

====Stereo Rotom====
Rotom turns into Stereo Rotom by possessing a mini {{wp|boombox|stereo system}}. Its appendages turn into a lightning bolt shape on top of its head, and its eyes and aura become pale green. It greatly enjoyed the synth-pop CD someone left inside the stereo, making it cheerful by nature. It can play the music CDs it swallows.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} appears in the bottom screen]]
* These notable Trainers own a Rotom:
** [[Colress]] uses a Wash Rotom in his post-game matches in {{B2W2}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}} uses a Rotom in his post-game rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. This Rotom's form changes based on the [[first partner Pokémon]] chosen by the {{player}}.
** [[Cyrus]] uses a Heat Rotom in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.
* Multiple devices house a Rotom for functionality across multiple games:
** [[Alola]]'s own [[Pokédex]], known as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], contains a Rotom. The Rotom itself, who can speak, is a minor character who often provides information and advice to the player throughout the story of {{game4|7}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Rotom provides additional gameplay elements and buffs through the {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}}.
** The [[Rotom Phone]] appears in the [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]-based games, as well as {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It serves a similar function to Rotom Pokédex, mainly through the Pokédex app, but is less present than its predecessor.
** In addition to the Rotom Phone, Galar also has [[Rotomi]] and [[Rotom Drone]]s as set pieces for the [[PC]] and Gym Stadiums. The Rotom Phone can be attatched to the [[Rotom Bike]] for travel purposes.

====In the spin-off games====

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the special moves appear through the move reminder following the form change. Heat, Wash, and Frost Rotom can also learn their respective special moves via TM.

===Form data===
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|home appliance|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
* When Rotom is not possessing any appliance (prior to Generation VIII) or possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}} (starting in [[Generation VIII]] except in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
* Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
* Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
* Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
* Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
* Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

* In Pokémon Platinum and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{kal|Pokémon Research Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it remains in its appliance form.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom's appliance forms are not present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, they are a permanent form difference, with each form being a separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s [[type]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Rotom uses [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]] as its battle theme, even though Rotom is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type Pokémon.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's forms can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].
* Rotom is the only Pokémon in {{g|Pokopia}} to have a new form with a type that differs from its base form.

====[[Generation V]] type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for being the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.
** one of the only Ice-type Pokémon, the others being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, who cannot learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Many of its Pokédex entries are reminiscent of {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] specifically calls it a "{{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} powered by electricity"; will-o'-the-wisps are typically ghost-like lights that inhabit marshes. Usually will-o'-the-wisps appear as balls of fire, another form of {{wp|Plasma (physics)|plasma}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}".


Each of Rotom's forms appears as an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular and most common form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, as listed in the [[Rotom Catalog]]. The other forms directly possess a household object:
* Heat Rotom possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, with its arms also resembling the rounded hands of {{wp|oven mitt}}s, cooking wear to take out hot foods from an {{wp|oven}}.
* Wash Rotom possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, with its arms resembling a pair of {{wp|clothespin}}s, a type of peg used to hold up wet clothes to dry.
* Frost Rotom possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its lower drawer resembling a freezer. While its arms resemble that of lightning bolts, they could also be a depiction of fractured ice.
* Fan Rotom possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, particularly a desk or table fan. Its arms resemble a cartoonish depiction on gusts of wind.
* Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}. Its rounded face and wheels makes the species resemble a reel mower with a bag used for storing grass attached to its back. Its teeth and arms become pointed, bringing to mind the {{wp|saw}} or blade of a lawn mower.
* Stereo Rotom possesses a home stereo system, or {{wp|boombox}}, having two large speakers on its sides, with the main "head" showing an audio interface. The appendage above its horn resembles an {{wp|eighth note}}. When expanded, this appendage resembles another volume interface. This appendage may also resemble the antennae of portable {{wp|radio}}s. [[DJ Rotom]]'s own behavior and English localized name brings to mind the act of {{wp|disc jockey|DJing}}, an artist who plays music for an audience using a {{wp|DJ mixer}}.

Among its other forms, the [[Rotom Bike]] resembles an {{wp|electric bicycle}}, a type of bike that use an electric motor. The Rotom Bike's Water Mode may be based on the concept of a {{wp|Pedalo|paddle boat}}, sometimes called a water bike, that is used to traverse water by pedaling. The [[Rotom Dex]], [[Rotom Phone]] and [[Rotomi]] may be based on {{wp|virtual assistant}}s or forms of {{wp|artificial intelligence}} used to assist the usage of electric devices and software.

====Name origin====
Rotom is derived from ''{{wp|motor}}'' spelled backwards.

In-universe, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] of {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} describes how Charon discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released via a game-key card for the physical version. Futhermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released with a game-key card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a [[Pokédex]] with a unique numbering system that does not reflect the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]].
** It is also the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a [[Pokédex]] since [[Pokémon Quest]] and the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature a [[regional Pokédex]]-style listing of Pokémon since [[New Pokémon Snap]].
* The title Poco a Pokémon may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon.'' The name Pokopia may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to Ditto) and ''utopia''.
* It has quickly become a trend and meme for people to create their own text-generated logo based on the game's logo.

Alpha Pokémon

2025-10-18T23:31:04Z

UB00: /* Trivia */

{{search|wild Pokémon variant|other uses|Alpha (disambiguation)}}
----
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] that were introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, with the exception of {{p|Zubat}}; this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

Alpha Pokémon are set to return in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, retaining the same traits and behavior as in Legends: Arceus<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Unveils-New-Details-for-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Pokemon-Champions- TPCi Official Press Site ''Pokémon Unveils New Details for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and More'']</ref>

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. They are powerful and difficult to catch. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, Alpha Pokemon always know one move that their species doesn't normally learn on its own.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

===[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]===
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]]. As of Pokémon Legends Z-A, they also have 252 {{EV}}s in HP.
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] that were introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, with the exception of {{p|Zubat}}; this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

Alpha Pokémon are set to return in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, retaining the same traits and behavior as in Legends: Arceus<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Unveils-New-Details-for-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Pokemon-Champions- TPCi Official Press Site ''Pokémon Unveils New Details for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and More'']</ref>

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. They are powerful and difficult to catch. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, Alpha Pokemon always know one move that their species doesn't normally learn on its own.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

===[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]===
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] that were introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, with the exception of {{p|Zubat}}; this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

Alpha Pokémon are set to return in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, retaining the same traits and behavior as in Legends: Arceus<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Unveils-New-Details-for-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Pokemon-Champions- TPCi Official Press Site ''Pokémon Unveils New Details for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and More'']</ref>

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. They are powerful and difficult to catch. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, Alpha Pokemon always know one move that their species doesn't normally learn on its own. Additionally, they are guaranteed to have at least 3 perfect IVs and 252 EVs in HP.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is a character introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. She is the player character's [[friend]] and hopes to find an equal [[rival]]ry with them. Nemona is the president of the academy's student council.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Nemona is an energetic and fun girl who adores battling with Pokémon. As an experienced Pokémon Trainer, she is among one of [[Paldea]]'s top ranked as a {{pkmn|Champion}}, after moving to the region at the age of just seven.<ref name="LeagueClub" /> Despite her skill, she is not very good at throwing [[Poké Ball]]s. She serves as a guide for the player. She, along with the player, is enrolled in the {{wp|general studies|general studies}} track of the [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy|Uva]]{{sup/9|V}} Academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Jacq]]. Due to her love for battles, Nemona tries to squeeze in a battle at every moment she gets, and strives to have someone in equals with. Nemona occasionally drops Spanish words or a Spanish accent in her dialect in English, in reference to Paldea being based on the real-world country of {{wp|Spain}}.

Along with the player, who Nemona begins a quick [[friend]]ship with, Nemona also meets [[Arven]] and [[Penny]] over the course of Scarlet and Violet. She does not get along with the other two at first, often misunderstanding their viewpoints and clashing with their interests, but get along by game's end. Nemona has an admiration for stronger trainers, such as [[Geeta]], the strongest member of Paldea's [[Pokémon League]].

Nemona lives in the same hometown of [[Cabo Poco]] as the player, living in the same neighborhood. She is the daughter of one of the [[Rotom Phone]] company's board members, coming from a wealthier family. Her father, mother and older sister all go unnamed. Nemona's Student ID at the academy is 805C001.

===Appearance===
[[File:Violet Nemona concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|Nemona's [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] {{DL|List of production terminology in Pokémon|Settei}}]]
Nemona is a young girl who attends Paldea's academy; due to the school changing based on what version is being played, so does her outfit. Her design otherwise relatively stays the same. Nemona has long black hair with most of it being tied in the back in the form of a ponytail. Three bangs stick out from her forehead, the two larger ones being a shade of green as opposed to her normal black coloring. She has large, angular eyes with orange irises and large black pupils. She has three eyelashes on each eye. Her angular eyebrows are thin and black

She wears a magenta arm brace on her right arm, indicating that she is not only right-handed but also slightly disabled and is unable to throw very well. This arm brace covers her knuckles and stops halfway up to her forearm. The bottom side is black and goes all around her arm up to her bicep. The magenta covering is stopped by a thick white cuff. Her shoes are the same colors as her arm brace, having a white back and soles, the upper half being mostly magenta and the tongue being white and black. She wears all-black leggings that go underneath her school shorts.

Nemona will always wear the summer attire of her school's uniform, sporting a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts. The T-shirt has the school's emblem on her left sleeve. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], the shirt is all off-white tinted blue, with a collar that goes around the neck, topped with an orange necktie. A singular front pocket on the left side of her chest. Her shorts are orange with lighter orange stripes. These shorts have two pockets on both sides of her legs, with larger pockets underneath that stick out, buttoned together by blue buttons. She has two blue strings on the front of her pants In Pokémon Violet, her shirt is gray instead and has a purple tie. her shorts also look nearly identical, with the blue buttons and strings being yellow and the pants themselves being completely purple with no pattern.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Your friend, Nemona, has a sunny and energetic disposition, and she absolutely loves Pokémon battles. She’s an experienced Pokémon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for you on your adventures. She has undisputed skill in battle—though it does also seem that she’s not the best at throwing Poké Balls."''

Prior to the events of Scarlet and Violet, unlike previous rival and friend characters, Nemona is already a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Champion, and implies that she is starting fresh with a new [[party|team]] of Pokémon. She already attends the school that the player will attend to.

====Victory Road====
Nemona is first met in [[Cabo Poco]], where she introduces herself as the player's neighbor. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Trainer, she chooses to raise a new Pokémon team alongside the player to be more on their level, choosing the [[starter Pokémon]] that is weak to the {{player}}'s. After having her first battle with the player, the two set off to the city of [[Mesagoza]] to go to the Academy. The player has a troubling situation with {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} on [[Inlet Grotto]], and returns to Nemona. Nemona is glad that the player is safe and brings them to a nearby lighthouse on [[Poco Path]], where they meet [[Arven]], a boy who seems to know about the Pokémon the player has found. After some clashing of heads and explanation of the player's new ride, Nemona escorts them to [[Mesagoza]] through [[Los Platos]] and gives them a tutorial on [[Pokémon Center]]s and the [[Terastal phenomenon]] in front of Mesagoza's doors. Inside the city, Nemona brings them to the school's stairs (which she seems to have a frustation with on account of being too long and steep) where the two of them will be studying. There, the of them are encountered by more strangers, [[Team Star]], a group of students who bully other students and [[Penny]] a shy girl who also seems to butt heads with Nemona.

Once the player starts studying at the academy, Nemona urges them to challenge [[Gym]]s around Paldea so they can challenge the {{pal|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, Nemona will occasionally appear to gauge the player's progress by battling them. Once the player has defeated all 8 of Paldea's Gyms, she becomes excited and awaits their progress at the Pokémon League. Once the player has passed the test and became a Champion-ranked member of the Pokémon league, Nemona is thrilled and wants to battle them immediately. The two of them think on where this champion themed battle should be held, deciding on Megagoza's battlefield in the middle of the city. Nemona loses to the player, but is filled with pride and excitement, happy to have such a fruitful battle against them. She asks for more, hoping the fun never stops.

====The Way Home====
Once the player has passed the Champion Assessment, Nemona will challenge them to one more battle, where she doesn't hold back. After the player has finished Victory Road and the two other stories, She later accompanies the player, [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] on a journey to [[Area Zero]], battling alongside the player as a battle partner to fight against any [[Paradox Pokémon]] they may come across.

In the post-credits story, Nemona participates in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], although she has to manage the admin work when it is held for the first time, she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.

====Mochi Mayhem====
Nemona joins Arven and Penny to hang out with the player at their house. Later, they are invited to join the player in visiting [[Kieran]] in Kitakami. Upon their arrival, Nemona immediately challenges Kieran to a battle, having heard of his former status as BB League Champion, and though she wins handily, she is greatly impressed by his skills. Just then, [[Carmine]] arrives, performing a weird dance and not acting her usual self. Kieran is concerned by his sister's peculiar behavior, though Nemona and the others encourage him to stay positive. That night, Nemona stops by Peachy's to buy soda for the group and ends up unwittingly eating [[Pecharunt]]'s toxic mochi before returning to the Community Center. During their race to find the remote for the TV display, Nemona eventually falls under Pecharunt's influence and wanders out of the Community Center, heading for Kitakami Hall and presumably infecting more citizens. The player and Kieran spot her and give chase, only to contend with Kieran's infected grandparents instead.

The player and Kieran later confront the controlled Nemona and Pecharunt itself at [[Loyalty Plaza]]. Realizing the player is the only one who can beat Nemona in battle, Kieran decides to back them up by holding off an approaching horde of possessed villagers. Meanwhile, the player fights and defeats Nemona, who retains a modicum of her battle-frenzied personality despite Pecharunt's control. After the player defeats and catches Pecharunt, Nemona and the others are freed from its influence, with Nemona believing her battle with the player to be a "crazy realistic dream" that she would like to have again. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami and battling Carmine and Kieran a dozen times each, the player, Nemona and the others return to Paldea.

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Nemona uses the {{pkmn2|starter}} with a [[type]] disadvantage to the one the player chooses. As shown in the game's opening cutscene, she also owns a Combat Breed {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. She is never seen using it elsewhere, although she can trade it to the player in [[The Indigo Disk]]. She is also implied to have more Pokémon that are unseen by the player, as she became a Champion prior to her first battle with the player and repeatedly mentions needing to select a perfect team for her battles. The official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet claims that Nemona uses {{p|Lechonk}} and {{p|Smoliv}}, even though she is never seen using either of these Pokémon.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/lechonk/ Lechonk — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/smoliv/ Smoliv — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

=====First battle=====
During this battle, both the player's and Nemona's Pokémon are prevented from scoring [[critical hit]]s.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Nemona anime.png|thumb|250px|Nemona in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' while winning a battle against a Trainer. Sometime before meeting [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], Nemona came to [[Artazon]] to meet with [[Brassius]] and discuss his absence from the [[Artazon Gym]]. Upon being introduced to the young Trainers, Nemona joined them on a visit to Brassius's art studio to meet the Gym Leader. During the meeting, when Roy spoke about the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}, Brassius kicked everyone out of his house. While discussing why Brassius acted the way he did, Liko came to the conclusion that Brassius might have an {{wp|writer's block|artist's block}}.

Afterwards, Nemona took Liko and Roy to the {{DL|Artazon|Sunflora Lawn}} and decided to group as many {{p|Sunflora}} to create inspiration for Brassius again. When they got together to see how many they managed to group, Nemona showed that she managed to gather fifteen Sunflora. After Brassius saw the group's determination and his {{p|Dolliv}}'s insistence, he presented Nemona, Liko, and Roy with a work based on his vision of Rayquaza.

While Brassius challenged Roy to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Nemona watched it along with Liko. After the battle, she explained the [[Terastal phenomenon]] to Roy. At the end, Brassius presented another work of his to the group, one based on an {{p|Arboliva}}.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', Nemona accompanied Liko, Roy, and [[Mollie]] into [[Arboliva Forest|Arboliva's forest]]. Upon arriving, Nemona said goodbye to the group and told Roy that the next time she met them, she would like to have a battle with him.

====Character====
Nemona is a very friendly and kind person, quickly making friends with Liko and Roy. She also has a huge passion for [[Pokémon battle]]s, challenging different Trainers as she encounters them on her way to a battle.

As expected from a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Nemona is well respected in the [[Paldea]] region. Despite her young age, she is shown to be very knowledgeable about various topics in the Pokémon world, such as the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

[[File:Nemona Paldean Winds.png|250px|thumb|Nemona in Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. Nemona was first seen being watched by [[Aliquis]] as she taught some children the concept of {{Tera}}stallization. Later, during [[Ohara]]'s performance, she was seen attending the concert with [[Naranja Academy]]'s academic staff. During the events of the episode, it was revealed that Nemona had a battle to wage against Aliquis.

In ''[[PPW02|Breathe In]]'', Nemona defeated Aliquis in battle, some time later, Nemona had a new battle against her rival, this time a [[Full Battle]]. Initially, Nemona was winning again, but the battle scenario changed when Aliquis made peace with his {{p|Meowscarada}}, upon seeing Aliquis' determination, Nemona decided to continue the battle with each of the Trainers Terastallizing their Pokémon. With new determination, the battle between Nemona and Aliquis continued.

In ''[[PPW03|Take a Breath]]'', it was revealed that Nemona managed to beat Aliquis in the last battle, thus achieving a score of three victories against her biggest rival in the Academy.

In ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', during the presentation of Naranja Academy's introduction video for new students, Nemona appeared presenting a talk to some students and then to the rest of the Academy's student body.

'''Lacey''' (Japanese: '''タロ''' ''Taro'') is a character introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. She is a second-year student attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. She uses {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
Lacey is a girl who likes cute Pokémon, which led to her becoming a Trainer of {{t|Fairy}} types. Her father is [[Driftveil City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Clay]], with whom she shares the same {{p|Excadrill|ace Pokémon}}. She has a habit of crossing her arms in an X-formation to show her disapproval whenever she disagrees with something. She is ranked as the second-strongest member of the Elite Four at Blueberry Academy, situated at [[Coastal Plaza]].

Lacey is the first person the player meets upon their arrival at Blueberry Academy, giving the player their first battle there and introducing them to the [[Terarium]] and [[Blueberry Quest]]s. Later, she is met at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], where she votes against [[Drayton]]'s proposition of letting the player participate in the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is a Pokémon quiz consisting of five questions that the player must answer correctly. After the trial has been cleared, Lacey can be battled. She rewards the player with {{TM|227|Alluring Voice}} upon being beaten.

When interacting with [[Nemona]] in the [[League Club Room]], she and Lacey are revealed to know each other, with Nemona having battled her father in the middle of a fancy party.

===Pokémon===
Lacey keeps her Pokémon in [[Nest Ball]]s.

====First battle====
Winning this fight is not mandatory. The player will not [[black out]] and the story will progress either way.

* Lacey is the first [[Elite Four]] member to specialize in {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Lacey is the only member of the BB Elite Four whose designated Terastallized Pokémon is not of her specialty type prior to being Terastallized.
** She is also the only member of the BB Elite Four to use more than one Pokémon not of her specialty type.
* While Lacey refers to her usage of {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in her first battle as her "Plus-Minus strategy", they each have their {{Hidden Ability|Abilities}} {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Volt Absorb}} rather than {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, respectively, and her strategy relies on using {{m|Discharge}} to trigger them.

Mochi Mayhem

2024-01-16T14:07:31Z

UB00: /* Trivia */

[[File:Mochi Mayhem Title Card.png|thumb|300px|The opening title card of Mochi Mayhem]]
'''Mochi Mayhem''' (Japanese: '''キビキビパニック''' ''Kibi-Kibi Panic'') is the epilogue of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. It was present in the game since the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], but was initially inaccessible. It was officially announced on December 20, 2023<ref>https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1737473659206271074?t=jISQi-Rd2YGn1dOaFFqkJw&s=08</ref> and made available on January 11, 2024 via an indefinite [[List of other event distributions (Generation IX)#Mythical Pecha Berry|event distribution]]. It is only accessible after the player has participated in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]] at least once and completed the plot of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero by catching {{p|Terapagos}}, though the [[Mystery Gift]] may be claimed at any time.

It begins when the player interacts with the decoration on the desk of {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}} in [[Mossui Town]] in [[Kitakami]] with the [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] in their [[Bag]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After interacting with a decoration at {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}}, the {{player}} receives a phone call from [[Arven]], asking if he can visit the player at [[Player's house|their house]] at [[Cabo Poco]]. During the conversation, the decoration disappears from behind the player's back. Upon returning home, the player meets Arven, along with [[Nemona]] and [[Penny]], who had overheard his phone call and insisted on coming along. The player's {{pal|Mom}} gives the player a letter from [[Kieran]], informing them that he's taking a break from [[Blueberry Academy]] and is currently residing at his home in [[Mossui Town]]. The letter also includes tickets for the player and their friends, who are all feeling happy about the idea of getting to visit [[Kitakami]], so they depart there immediately.

In Mossui Town, Nemona, having learned that Kieran used to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Blueberry Academy, is quick to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, and defeats him soundly before the player even has a chance to come see their match. Just then, [[Carmine]] shows up, performing a weird dance and repeating the word "mochi" over and over. Kieran explains that she's been acting like this ever since he sent his letter to the player. He suspects that his sister's odd behavior might have something to do with a curse that's rumored to be going around, but the group encourages him to stay positive. The group retreats to the Community Center for the night, but while they search for a hidden TV remote, Nemona suddenly disappears. When the player and Kieran go look for her, they find more villagers acting in the same strange way as Carmine. Spotting Nemona, they follow her to [[Kitakami Hall]], where they witness Kieran's grandfather [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] falling victim to the strange behavior as well after eating some suspicious mochi offered by his already-possessed wife.

The player and Kieran return to Mossui Town, where a small purple Pokémon also posseses Arven and Penny by firing pieces of mochi directly into their mouths. After defeating them in a [[Multi Battle]], the player and Kieran pursue the mysterious Pokémon to [[Loyalty Plaza]], where they also find Nemona, who has also been possessed. With a horde of possessed villagers approaching them, Kieran holds them off while the player battles Nemona. Once she has been defeated, the player challenges the mysterious Pokémon, identified as the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Pecharunt}}, defeating and {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} it. This releases everyone from Pecharunt's control, with only vague memories of what they did while possessed. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami, the player and their friends return to [[Paldea]], while Kieran and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy.

==Trivia==
{{Bad image|section|Needs higher resolution, direct feed screenshot of Ogerpon}}
[[File:Ogerpon VS Pecharunt Reaction.png|thumb|250px|Ogerpon's reaction to seeing Pecharunt]]
* Mochi Mayhem is the only occasion in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} in which the player has a [[Multi Battle]] against two separate opponents.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, all of the Pokémon owned by Aya, Shige, Yukito, and Hideko are programmed to have {{t|Poison}} as their {{Tera|Tera Type}}, likely as a reference to the effects of Pecharunt's Binding Mochi.
* In the Japanese version, the possessed shout out "Kibi kibi!" instead, referring to {{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|millet dango}} from the folktale {{wp|Momotarō}}.
* If the player uses {{ga|Ogerpon}} in the battle against Pecharunt, Ogerpon will react with anger, yelling out "GRAH! Pon PON!!!" at it, likely for what it did to Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
* If the player uses a member of the [[Loyal Three]]; {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} or {{p|Fezandipiti}}, in the battle against Pecharunt, Pecharunt will react with shock and anger, yelling out "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!" at it, likely for the betrayal as Pecharunt's retainer.
** Pecharunt will repeat this reaction every time a member of the Loyal Three is sent out for the first time by the player.
*The day that Mochi Mayhem was made publicly accessible is the same day as the annual Japanese tradition of ''mochitsuki'' (Japanese: '''餅つき''').<ref name=Mochitsuki>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231220182340/https://asahiimports.com/2014/01/04/mochitsuki-a-japanese-new-years-tradition/ Article on the history of Mochitsuki.]</ref>
* Mochi Mayhem is the only part of the [[Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] to be unlocked through a [[Mystery Gift]] item.
* Mochi Mayhem shares a number of similarities to the {{wp|dancing plague of 1518}}. They both:
** Involve a mass outbreak of spontaneous, uncontrollable dancing.
** Were started by a single woman, who were afflicted much earlier than anyone else.
** Were caused by food poisoning (Binding Mochi in the case of Mochi Mayhem, and theorized to be {{wp|ergot}} in the case of the dancing plague).

'''Pecharunt''' (Japanese: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou''), known by the [[Kitakami]] people as the '''Never-Rotting Peach'''<ref name="website" /> is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and major character in the [[Mochi Mayhem]] epilogue for the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} expansion, [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

==History==
[[File:Loyal Three fight Ogerpon.png|250px|thumb|left|Pecharunt and the [[Loyal Three]] vs Ogerpon.]]
[[File:Ogerpon attacks Pecharunt.png|250px|thumb|right|Pecharunt getting struck down by Ogerpon.]]
A long time ago in a faraway unnamed region, an old couple cared for {{p|Pecharunt}}, as they had no children of their own, showering the small, timid Pokémon with love. Hoping to get even more of their affection, Pecharunt fed them [[Mochi|Binding Mochi]], created using the poison stored in its shell, placing them under its control. The Mochi drew out their greed, and the old couple soon began to make constant requests of Pecharunt, which it eagerly followed in hopes of receiving more love. One day, it used its Binding Mochi and {{a|Toxic Chain}} to tame and transform [[Disputed Pokémon#Original Loyal Three|a small and weak Pokémon]], {{p|Okidogi}}, into a big, strong one, turning it into its retainer. Pecharunt had Okidogi deliver various gifts to the couple, including several boxes of [[Mythical Pecha Berry|Mythical Pecha Berries]], only making their love for it grow.<ref name="video">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njA84xxxe8o The Untold Story of Pecharunt]</ref>

Eventually the old couple requested that Pecharunt acquire a brilliant set of masks, rumored to exist in the land of [[Kitakami]]. Having grown tired of the same old requests, Pecharunt was excited to be given a novel task, and hurriedly set off to Kitakami with Okidogi. During their travels, the two met a clumsy and dim-witted Pokémon, {{p|Munkidori}}, and one that had short, dull feathers, {{p|Fezandipiti}}. Pecharunt subjugated both of them, transforming Munkidori into a clever Pokémon with the power to see into the near future, and granting Fezandipiti a beautiful look and mesmerizing pheromones.<ref name="video"/>

After arriving in Kitakami during the [[Festival of Masks]], Pecharunt and its [[Loyal Three|three retainers]] spotted {{ga|Ogerpon}} and its partner wearing two of the masks. After having Munkidori track down their home in the [[Dreaded Den]] at the top of [[Oni Mountain]], Okidogi and Fezandipiti were tasked with stealing the masks while the two were away. Suddenly, Ogerpon's partner appeared, fighting the three thieves and managing to keep one of the masks safe. Pecharunt briefly reveled in its victory, when suddenly Ogerpon engaged them in battle. Despite their best efforts, the three retainers were unable to fight back against Ogerpon, who launched a final strike against Pecharunt, incapacitating it.<ref name="video"/>

Using the last of its strength, Pecharunt was able to clasp its shell closed, rolling away deep into the forest, left to slumber.<ref name="video"/> The fate of its caretakers is unknown, though it is speculated that they are long dead.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
{{spoilers}}
====Prior to The Teal Mask====
Prior to the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]], a lady would find the slumbering Pecharunt and display it as a decoration in the {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}} store in [[Mossui Town]]. As time passed, the people of Kitakami started knowing it as the Never-Rotting Peach.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref>

====The Teal Mask====
The slumbering Pecharunt can be seen on the counter of Peachy's in Mossui Town.

====Mochi Mayhem====
The player interacting with Pecharunt while having the [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] in their [[bag]] causes it to wake up from its slumber. It vanishes along with the Mythica Pecha Berry when the player's back is turned.

Pecharunt feeds its binding mochi to the people of Mossui Town, including [[Carmine]], supposedly still seeking Ogerpon's masks to grant its caretakers's wishes. Under the effects of the mochi, people begin to dance peculiarly, only able to say the word "mochi". As revealed by Nemona, Pecharunt had left a plate of Binding Mochi on the counter of Peachy's, for anyone to eat. The last mochi was eaten by Nemona.<ref>[[Nemona]]: ''"When I see a “Help yourself” sign, I don’t ignore it! There was just one mochi left, though."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}} - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref>

Pecharunt is first fully seen by the player, [[Kieran]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]], floating atop the store as the group is trying to find Nemona. It fires several pieces of Mochi at them, and is able to get Arven and Penny to eat it, but the player and Kieran are able to avoid it. Pecharunt then forces the possessed duo to battle their friends, and upon their defeat, flees towards [[Loyalty Plaza]].

As the player and Kieran reach Loyalty Plaza, Pecharunt is seen with the possessed Nemona. The effects of the Binding Mochi are unable to control her obsession with Pokémon battles, thus leading to Pecharunt having Nemona battle the player, whilst Kieran holds off the rest of the people under Pecharunt's control. After Nemona's defeat, Pecharunt battles the player. After being defeated and caught by the player, the effects of the Binding Mochi come to an end, freeing everyone from its control.
{{endspoilers}}

==Personality and characteristics==
Pecharunt is shown to be a childish Pokémon with a young mind, for that reason, it does everything in its power to gain as much attention and love as possible from its friends and family. However, this also makes it a greedy and spoiled Pokémon, determined to have what it wants no matter the cost, even "cursing" its caretakers so they love it even more. It also has a timid nature, it will either flee or cower in fear should its allies be defeated. Despite the deceptive nature and its mind control methods, it still shows care for its retainers and family.

It reacts negatively when any of the Loyal Three are used in battle against it, perhaps angered by their apparent betrayal.

'''Pecharunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ghost}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

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

It is the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|trio master]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draw out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and in some cases, completly fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use {{m|Malignant Chain|its toxic chains in combat}} as well, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years. In [[Kitakami]], it is known as the "'''Never-Rotting Peach'''".
[[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi]]
Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires - [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "[[Eevee|Veevee]]", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match". It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|Poison}} type (''doku'' is Japanese for "poison").
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]]:
** Of the Poison type, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
** To have been introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Whose English name is different from its Japanese name.
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the Loyal Three, who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{ga|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses Ogerpon against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. The Ghost type could also reference the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers.

The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draw out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and in some cases, completly fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use {{m|Malignant Chain|its toxic chains in combat}} as well, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years. In [[Kitakami]], it is known as the "'''Never-Rotting Peach'''".

Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires - [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "[[Eevee|Veevee]]", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match". It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

An obscure legend has it that Pecharunt was adopted by an elderly childless couple in a distant land. In an attempt to make its adoptive parents love it even more, it fed them its Binding Mochi, which caused them to grow greedy and demand more and more gifts from it. Eventually, they asked Pecharunt to bring them {{p|Ogerpon}}'s masks, and it agreed. After a long journey where it met and bound the Loyal Three to its service, they stole three of the masks. However, the Loyal Three were defeated by Ogerpon and Pecharunt was forced into a deep slumber. It was knocked deep into the forest, only being discovered many years later. It is said it still seems to fulfil its caretakers' wishes, even though they are most likely long dead.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|Poison}} type (''doku'' is Japanese for "poison").
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]]:
** Of the Poison type, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
** To have been introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Whose English name is different from its Japanese name.
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the Loyal Three, who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{ga|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses Ogerpon against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. The Ghost type could also reference the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers.

The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

'''Pecharunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ghost}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

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

It is the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|trio master]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draw out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and in some cases, completly fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use {{m|Malignant Chain|its toxic chains in combat}} as well, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years. In [[Kitakami]], it is known as the "'''Never-Rotting Peach'''".
[[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi]]
Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires - [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "[[Eevee|Veevee]]", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match". It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

An obscure legend has it that Pecharunt was adopted by an elderly childless couple in a distant land. In an attempt to make its adoptive parents love it even more, it fed them its Binding Mochi, which caused them to grow greedy and demand more and more gifts from it. Eventually, they asked Pecharunt to bring them [[Ogerpon]]'s masks, and it agreed. After a long journey where it met and bound the Loyal Three to its service, but Ogerpon defeated them and Pecharunt was forced into a deep slumber. It was knocked deep into the forest, only being discovered many years later.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|Poison}} type (''doku'' is Japanese for "poison").
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]]:
** Of the Poison type, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
** To have been introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Whose English name is different from its Japanese name.
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the Loyal Three, who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{ga|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses Ogerpon against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. Its {{t|Ghost}} type could reference the {{wp|Shintoist}} myth of the creator deity {{wp|Izanagi-no-Mikoto}}'s descent to {{wp|Yomi}} (the Shintoist underworld). In this myth, Izanagi threw three peaches to drive off his pursuers and escape the land of the dead. He would then declare the peach a divine fruit. The Ghost type could also reference the {{wp|Peaches of Immortality}} in Chinese mythology, which confer great longevity to their consumers.

The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

Crystal Pool

UB00: /* Bringing Terapagos */

{{Infobox location

|type=lake
|location_name=Crystal Pool

The '''Crystal Pool''' (Japanese: '''てらす池''' ''Illuminating Pool'') is a large pool located at [[Oni Mountain]] summit in the center of [[Kitakami]]. It is one of the [[Six Wonders of Kitakami]].

==Geography==

The Crystal Pool is a large area at the top of Oni Mountain. A small, man-made bridge has been built around a longer strip of water. Glowing crystals, like the ones found in [[Area Zero]] can be found at the bottom of the pool, rising upwards to the surface. When travelling there with [[Carmine]], during the events of [[The Teal Mask]], she mentions a rumor about the Crystal Pool where you can happen to meet people here who have passed away. [[Briar]] refers to the area as "sacred ground" upon her arrival. According to her, the crystals emit energy of the same wavelength as {{Tera}}stal energy. She doesn't understand why this is the case, but hopes to figure that out to stabilize the Terastal phenomenon in regions other than [[Paldea]]. After Carmine leaves, Briar also mentions that her research here could bring her one step closer to {{p|Terapagos}}, suggesting the Pokémon and the area itself may be related.

Sparkling [[Crystal Cluster]]s can be found within the pool, with the player receiving one after being attacked by a {{p|Milotic}} during the events of [[The Teal Mask]].

==Places of interest==
===Lake caves===
On the far side of the area, there's a small hole beneath the ground that the player can enter. It will take them to an underground lake beneath the river, where Pokémon such as Feebas may spawn.

===Bringing Terapagos===
{{spoilers}}
Following the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], a strange mist will appear at the Crystal Pool provided the player returns there with Terapagos in their party. The player, as well as [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]{{sup/9|V}} is then able to meet the real Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} from some point in space-time, who has not yet completed their time machine. After a brief conversation implying that Paradox Pokémon come from parallel timelines, the player will be prompted to exchange [[Briar's Book]] for the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book. The player cannot deny the request made by Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} to trade books. Following this scene, the player will be returned to a permanently different [[main menu]], where the Book will be visible again, featuring a new arrangement of the main Pokémon theme.

Even before this point, the player is able to read the [[Area Zero journals|Professor's notes]] in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], noting that they received a white book from a child in an eastern land. Since the Professor doesn't seem to have given Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} their name yet at this point in their life, (referring to them as the {{p|Koraidon|Winged King}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon|Iron Serpent}}{{sup/9|V}}) it is implied that this encounter inadvertently triggered a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} by telling them what their Legendary Pokémon was called and inspiring the Professor to continue their research on Area Zero or possibly creating an AI, if the player references it in their dialogue.

Talking to [[Arven]] in his dorm at the Academy (provided the player has formed [[Bond|close bonds]] with him) reveals different dialogue about the location of the book as a result of this interaction.

==Special encounters==
After [[Carmine]]'s grandpa offers to fix {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s mask, the player and Carmine head to the Crystal Pool to obtain a [[Crystal Cluster]], where a {{p|Milotic}} ambushes them. Milotic's stats are different if the player has not yet finished {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, but it always has 20 {{IV}}s in each stat. It cannot be caught, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

After it is defeated, it drops a Crystal Cluster.

==Trivia==
* The overall layout of the Crystal Pool resembles a smaller version of [[Area Zero]], with the location resembling a crater surrounded by a ring of jagged mountain-like rocks, akin to the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], and containing a lower subsurface area in the center filled with crystals, similar to Area Zero's depths.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, the special Milotic encounter is programmed to have a {{t|Ghost}} Tera Type, which may imply that the rumor about seeing the deceased at the Crystal Pool (as mentioned by Carmine) is true.

Time travel

2023-12-20T14:25:28Z

UB00: /* In the games */

{{samename|[[e-Reader]] application|Time Travel (e-Reader)}}
[[File:Time travel M12.png|thumb|260px|{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Sheena]] traveling through time in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
'''{{wp|Time travel}}''' is an infrequent theme in the [[Pokémon]] franchise and has been depicted in several [[canon]]s, including the {{pkmn|games}}, the {{pkmn|anime}}, and various {{pkmn|manga}}. In general, stories in which a character travels through time focus on the repercussions of traveling into the past or the future. Usually, the motivation for time traveling comes from the need or desire to change history. Characters who interfere with the timeline will generally notice an altered present upon their return.

Two notable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} possess time travel abilities. These are the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{p|Celebi}}, which is known as the {{pkmn|category|Time Travel Pokémon}} and has been shown to physically travel into different time periods, and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Dialga}}, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal Pokémon}} that can travel at will through past and future and has the power to send [[human]]s and Pokémon to specific points in time.

==In the games==
===In the [[core series]]===
* The [[Time Capsule]] is said to send Pokémon back and forth through time to explain how [[Trade|trading]] works between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the {{player}} and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travel into the past with Celebi. During a visit to two different time periods, the player discovers a part of {{ga|Silver}}'s past, as well as {{pkmn|battle}}s [[Giovanni]] to prevent him from rejoining [[Team Rocket]], at the same time when the player's past self is stopping the organization at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], one of [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s [[Timegate Traveler Series|film series]] is about time-traveling to the future with a time machine.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], {{ga|Arceus}} sends the player back in time to the [[Hisui]] region at the start of the game. In addition, [[Ingo]] has also wound up in Hisui some time before the player's arrival through unclear means. Pokémon from the past and future are also possible to be encountered in [[space-time distortion]]s.
{{spoilers}}
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], it is revealed that [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} succeeded in creating a time machine that brings Pokémon from the distant past{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} to the present-day [[Paldea]], with one of those Pokémon being {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. During the course of the games' final story arc, The Way Home, the player and their friends shut down the time machine at the behest of {{wp|Artificial intelligence|AI}} Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} before the [[Paradox Pokémon]] it has been automatically catching and bringing to the present can break out of [[Area Zero]] and overrun Paldea. After capturing Terapagos and travelling to the Crystal Pool, the player meets the real Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} from before they finished their time machine, exchanging their copy of Briar's Book for the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} book. As the Professor's notes in the Area Zero Underdepths mention that they were given a book by a child, this suggests that the meeting caused a bootstrap paradox.
{{endspoilers}}

===In the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]===
* The plots of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] heavily involve around time-traveling in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}.
* The multiplayer missions of [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] take place in various temples in the past of [[Cocona Village]].
* In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Adaman}}, {{mas|Irida}}, {{mas|Rei}}, and {{mas|Akari}} have been transported to modern-day [[Pasio]] through a [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]].

==In the anime==
* [[Sam]] was sent 40 years into the future after meeting {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. There, he encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. It is unknown if the events in the future and Sam's eventual return to the past directly altered the original timeline, but it is hinted that it might not have and these events were already present in the original timeline.
* [[Ritchie]] and [[Sparky]] were sent into the past via {{p|Celebi}} in ''[[HS13|Celebi and Joy!]]''. Events in the past directly altered the original timeline, with Ritchie assisting in the rescue of {{OBP|Nick|HS13}} and [[Nick's father|his father]] from certain death. Nick is now the mayor of [[Marion Town]] in the present day.
* {{OBP|Calista|AG076}} traveled through time via an ancient magic circle activated by her {{p|Baltoy}} and an alternate self in ''[[AG076|Me, Myself and Time]]''. It was a case of meeting one's younger self. It is unknown if the events in the past directly alter the original timeline.
* {{an|May}}, her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, and {{MTR}} traveled through time via [[Edna]]'s locket in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. Events in the past directly altered the original timeline, including the continued service of the [[Fuchsia City]] train station and {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}} now being alive.
* Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Sheena]] traveled through time via {{mov|Dialga}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Events in the past affected the original timeline, though not immediately; the changes went into effect only when {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} remembered that Ash had rescued it in the past.
* [[Ferris]] traveled through time via a portal in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW076|Part 2]]''. It was a case of arriving in the distant past as opposed to the recent past. It is unknown if the events in the past directly altered the original timeline.
* In ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', the three evil {{p|Malamar}} escaped to the future with the help of large energy crystals.
* Ash, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} traveled ten years into the past via {{p|Rotom}} and an elevator in ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]''. Events in the past directly altered the original timeline. [[Weston]] had originally lost his battle and the ownership of the [[Lost Hotel]] to [[Mantle]], but the group revised this and Weston was now in charge of the hotel, which no longer looked abandoned.
* In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Ash and his {{AP|Torracat}} were accidentally sent back in time by a {{OBP|Celebi|recurring}} to when {{an|Professor Kukui}} was five years old. Ash's talks about [[Pokémon League]]s and [[Gym]]s inspired Kukui and led to him creating the [[Alola League]] in the present day.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The [[Masked Man]] desired {{adv|Celebi}}'s time-traveling ability to reunite himself with his two dead {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He wound up disappearing into the crack of time inside the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], only being released from it {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver|years later}}.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
{{adv|Ruby}}'s Celebi altered the events of the final battle, reviving [[Norman]], {{Steven}}, and [[Courtney]], who had died during the conflict.

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{form|Terapagos|three forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''', and '''Stellar Form'''.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of The Indigo Disk, appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
Normal Form Terapagos is a small, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a dark blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. The body is light-blue with a shell shaped like a crystal with a white hexagon on top of it. The neck and legs each have a green star and ring rub. Each foot has three toes. It has a blue tail with a green star at the end. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming. It has a diamond shape on its forehead and two ear-like diamonds on both sides of its head. Finally, it has a green diamond ponytail with light and dark purple at the end.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and weak Pokémon, but when necessary, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. It is also capable of assuming a dormant state when it needs to slumber or when its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size which makes itself look like a jewel<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>. This species appears to be capable of living for millions of years while slumbering within its crystal shell. Terapagos can take on multiple distinct appearances<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/</ref>, between them, its Normal, Terastal and Stellar forms. It's thought that this species existed in ancient times in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] until it got caught in seismic shifts, presumably causing it to go extinct, but in reality, it caused it to get trapped underground for thousands of years. This seemingly happened over two million years ago, creating the deep caves in [[Area Zero]] where Terapagos slumbers.

[[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name and discovered it.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} did research on it this Pokémon while in [[Area Zero]]. Terapagos assumes Normal Form when not battling and moving around. The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} describe Terapagos, implying that this Pokémon is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], this is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the Pokédex. Many for a long time believed Terapagos was fake and that Heath made it up, but Briar proved its existence by writing [[Briar's Book|her own book]] about it. Terapagos is capable of time-traveling and can bring humans from the past temporarily. Its power can be used to power up-time machines and bring [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the present era. Terapagos can influence a [[Tera Orb]] with the ability to Terastallize with no charging drawbacks. Terapagos is the source and creator of the {{t|Stellar}} [[type]].

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}}, {{a|Tera Shell}}, and {{a|Teraform Zero}} as {{Abilities}}. Its Tera Type is fixed as Stellar and cannot be changed at the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, and unlike other Pokémon it always receives the full benefits of the Stellar Tera Type.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in its Terastal and Stellar forms.

;Terastal Form Terapagos
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with 3 fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystal, with 18 irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all 18 [[Type#Icons|type icons]]. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the Terastal phenomenon. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell; however, these are a solid light blue color.

Terapagos transforms into Terastal form when it is either in danger or about to battle. The sturdy shell it resides in is made of crystallized Terastal energy. The shell allows Terpagos to absorb energy and store it within itself. When using beam-like attacks, Terapagos pulls its hands and head into its shell, transform its mane into its tails and shoot the attack from the diamond in its center. When Terapagos absorbs enough energy or through [[Tera Orb]], it will Terastallize into its Stellar Form. This form has been referred to as ''The Indigo Disk''.

;Stellar Form Terapagos
Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field in the shape of a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure covered in jewels corresponding to the type icons, topped with a miniature version of its Normal Form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

Stellar Form Terapagos is believed to be its true form and at full power. Heath was the one who discovered this form. This form is said to resemble the world that the ancient humans had seen in ancient times. Heath in his journal described it as looking like a planet floating in space. This form of Terapagos has an abnormal amount of Terastal energy amplified to the highest it can get. Terapagos can lose control of its Stellar Form, with the risk of causing havoc to the [[Paldea]] ecosystem. In this form, Terapagos can resist even going back into powerful [[Poké Ball]] like the [[Master Ball]], even destroying it. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of creating multiple Tera Raid Barries by absorbing Terastel energy from Pokemon, even causing their Tersalization state to be undone. It can even change its Type temporary in its home turf. However, it does have a limit to how many multiple barriers it can create. This form has been referred to as ''The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Stellar Form Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an EV yield total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
** Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different EV yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
* Terapagos can be female, but the only obtainable Terapagos is male.

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}. Its hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

Terapagos may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a turtle shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons. It could also be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}.

Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal]]'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{form|Terapagos|three forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''', and '''Stellar Form'''.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of The Indigo Disk, appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
Normal Form Terapagos is a small, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a dark blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. The body is light-blue with a shell shaped like a crystal with a white hexagon on top of it. The neck and legs each have a green star and ring rub. Each foot has three toes. It has a blue tail with a green star at the end. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming. It has a diamond shape on its forehead and two ear-like diamonds on both sides of its head. Finally, it has a green diamond ponytail with light and dark purple at the end.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and weak Pokémon, but when necessary, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. It is also capable of assuming a dormant state when it needs to slumber or when its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size which makes itself look like a jewel<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>. This species appears to be capable of living for millions of years while slumbering within its crystal shell. Terapagos can take on multiple distinct appearances<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/</ref>, between them, its Normal, Terastal and Stellar forms. It's thought that this species existed in ancient times in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] until it got caught in seismic shifts, presumably causing it to go extinct, but in reality, it caused it to get trapped underground for thousands of years. This seemingly happened over two million years ago, creating the deep caves in [[Area Zero]] where Terapagos slumbers.

[[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name and discovered it.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} did research on it this Pokémon while in [[Area Zero]]. Terapagos assumes Normal Form when not battling and moving around. The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} describe Terapagos, implying that this Pokémon is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], this is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the Pokédex. Many for a long time believed Terapagos was fake and that Heath made it up, but Briar proved its existence by writing [[Briar's Book|her own book]] about it. Terapagos is capable of time-traveling and can bring humans from the past temporarily. Its power can be used to power up-time machines and bring [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the present era. Terapagos can influence a [[Tera Orb]] with the ability to Terastallize with no charging drawbacks. Terapagos is the source and creator of the {{t|Stellar}} [[type]].

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}}, {{a|Tera Shell}}, and {{a|Teraform Zero}} as {{Abilities}}. Its Tera Type is fixed as Stellar and cannot be changed at the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, and unlike other Pokémon it always receives the full benefits of the Stellar Tera Type.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in its Terastal and Stellar forms.

;Terastal Form Terapagos
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with 3 fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystal, with 18 irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all 18 [[Type#Icons|type icons]]. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the Terastal phenomenon. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell; however, these are a solid light blue color.

Terapagos transforms into Terastal form when it is either in danger or about to battle. The sturdy shell it resides in is made of crystallized Terastal energy. The shell allows Terpagos to absorb energy and store it within itself. When using beam-like attacks, Terapagos pulls its hands and head into its shell, transform its mane into its tails and shoot the attack from the diamond in its center. When Terapagos absorbs enough energy or through [[Tera Orb]], it will Terastallize into its Stellar Form. This form has been referred to as ''The Indigo Disk''.

;Stellar Form Terapagos
Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field in the shape of a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure covered in jewels corresponding to the type icons, topped with a miniature version of its Normal Form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

Stellar Form Terapagos is believed to be its true form and at full power. Heath was the one who discovered this form. This form is said to resemble the world that the ancient humans had seen in ancient times. Heath in his journal described it as looking like a planet floating in space. This form of Terapagos has an abnormal amount of Terastal energy amplified to the highest it can get. Terapagos can lose control of its Stellar Form, with the risk of causing havoc to the [[Paldea]] ecosystem. In this form, Terapagos can resist even going back into powerful [[Poké Ball]] like the [[Master Ball]], even destroying it. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of creating multiple Tera Raid Barries by absorbing Terastel energy from Pokemon, even causing their Tersalization state to be undone. It can even change its Type temporary in its home turf. However, it does have a limit to how many multiple barriers it can create. This form has been referred to as ''The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Stellar Form Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
* Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an EV yield total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
** Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different EV yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
* Terapagos can be female, but the only obtainable Terapagos is male.

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}. Its hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

Terapagos may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a turtle shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons. It could also be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}.

Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal]]'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

Terapagos (Pokémon)

2023-12-17T13:34:41Z

UB00: /* Biology */

Stellar (type)

2023-12-17T13:30:27Z

UB00: /* Additional effects */

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stella type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or moves bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] of a Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will always retain its original typing's Defensive properties, aside from the Terastallized state itself being weak to Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}}. As such, outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Terastal}}lizes into the Stellar type, it gains increased [[STAB]] for every move type, but only once per type; 2x for original types and 1.2x for every other type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive increased STAB from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

When either {{m|Tera Blast}} or {{m|Tera Starstorm}} are this type, it has a special interaction, dealing super effective damage against Terastallized targets. Stellar-type Tera Blast also has the drawback of lowering the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats by one stage. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon are naturally Stellar-type, but they can become Stellar-type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]]. {{p|Terapagos}}'s Tera Type is fixed as Stellar, and as such, its {{fd|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} can only exist as a Stellar-type.

==Moves==
These moves are naturally {{type|Normal}}, but they become Stellar-type and have special changes if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.

{{movelist/battle-head|Stellar}}
{{movelist/battle|9|Tera Blast|Special||80|100|10|anyadjacent|Inflicts damage with the user’s Attack or Sp. Atk stat— whichever is higher. Super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats.}}
{{movelist/battle|9|Tera Starstorm|Special||120|100|5|adjacentfoes|With the power of its crystals, the user bombards and eliminates the target. When used by Terapagos in its Stellar Form, this move damages all opposing Pokémon.}}

==Trivia==
* This is the only type to be exclusive to a [[Terastal phenomenon|transformation mechanic]]. Likewise, it is the only type a Pokémon can not be without the mechanic.
* Written in katakana, '''ステラタイプ''' (''Stella type'') is an anagram of '''テラスタイプ''' (''Teras Type''), the Japanese word for Tera Type.
* As {{p|Ogerpon}} cannot change its Tera Type independently of its masks, it is the only Pokémon accessible in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that can never become the Stellar Type.
* The Stellar type, along with the rest of the Terastal phenomenon, was created by {{p|Terapagos}}. Pokémon gain the Stellar Tera Type due to the influence of the crystals found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

'''Meloetta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メロエッタ''' ''Meloetta'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Meloetta has two [[#Form data|forms]]: its default form, '''Aria Forme''', and a second form, the {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type '''Pirouette Forme'''. Meloetta changes forms when it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} during a {{pkmn|battle}} and reverts to Aria Forme when [[Recall|switched out]] or when the battle ends.

Meloetta was leaked on a poster for the fifteenth [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', on February 26, 2012, and was officially revealed by [[Oha Suta]] on March 1, 2012.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is associated with the [[Forces of Nature]].

==Biology==
Meloetta is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a femininely anthropomorphic figure with {{wp|Bar (music)|musical bar}}-style streaks in its hair, {{wp|quarter note}}s (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling {{wp|whole note}}s (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be a third of its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has {{wp|red hair|auburn hair}} that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In both forms, its midriff and eyes match its hair. It is a [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] species.

According to artists in [[Unova]], Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers. Like many other {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], Meloetta is capable of temporarily turning invisible.

===Forms===
Meloetta has two forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Meloetta is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Relic Song}}, which allows it to change forms. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs, while in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances.

After sneaking aboard the [[Battle Subway]] train, Meloetta found its way to Café Sonata, only to be attacked by a group of wild {{p|Vullaby}}. After finding out what happened, {{adv|White}} protected Meloetta while Bianca decided to take a guitar and play with Meloetta in place of the {{tc|Guitarist}} that was injured in the chaos.

With her skills in music, Bianca helped Meloetta remember the Relic Song that it had long since forgotten. Meloetta uses the attack to transform into its Pirouette Forme and defeat the wild Vullaby group. Afterward, it said its goodbyes to White and Bianca and left.

===Form data===
Meloetta has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. The two forms have different [[type]]s, with Aria Forme being {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and Pirouette Forme being {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}. Their [[base stats]] also differ, with Pirouette Forme having higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}} but lower {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than Aria Forme.

Meloetta starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Aria Forme. If it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn. Outside of battle, Meloetta will always be in its Aria Forme.

==Trivia==
* Meloetta was leaked on a poster for ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' during the release of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.
* The [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yields]] of each of Meloetta's [[#Form data|forms]]—1 Special Attack, 1 Special Defense, and 1 Speed in Aria Forme and 1 Attack, 1 Defense, and 1 Speed in Pirouette Forme—are both unique.
** Meloetta is also the only Pokémon to have more than one unique effort value yield.
* Meloetta is programmed to always hold a [[Star Piece]] when encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}. However, Meloetta cannot be found in the wild in those games.

===Origin===
Meloetta may be based on a {{wp|Muses|muse}}, a goddess in {{wp|Greek mythology}} with the ability to inspire artistic creation. Meloetta may also be seen as a personification of music since its design has multiple references to {{wp|musical notation}}: its headpiece resembles a stylized {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, its fingerless hands and slim arms are shaped after {{wp|musical note}}s, and its hair resembles {{wp|Staff (music)|staff lines}} with {{wp|Bar (music)|bar lines}}.

Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer, with the black headpiece acting like a headset microphone.

Meloetta's Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu, with its "hair" curled up in a bun, or possibly the headdress worn by {{wp|Nefertiti}} in her namesake {{wp|Nefertiti Bust|sculpture}}. This Forme also has elements of Spanish {{wp|Flamenco}} dancers.

Its transformation, particularly in the anime, is also reminiscent of a {{wp|Magical girl}}.

The guitarist who teaches Meloetta {{m|Relic Song}} in the [[Generation V]] games mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the {{wp|Hans Christian Andersen}} fairy-tale ''{{wp|The Red Shoes (fairy tale)|The Red Shoes}}''.

====Name origin====
Meloetta may be a combination of ''{{wp|melody}}'', ''{{wp|pirouette}}'' (a type of movement in ballet), and the Italian feminine diminutive suffix ''-etta''.

{{wp|Aria}} is a term now used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice usually with {{wp|orchestral accompaniment}}, and is commonly used in {{wp|opera}}.

A {{wp|pirouette}} (French for ''to whirl'') is a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women).

East of the Coastal Classroom, a small cyclone of leaves can be found around two bushes. If the player spins around clockwise in the center of the circling leaves for at least 10 seconds, activates their camera immediately afterwards, and then applies the Sepia Filter, {{p|Meloetta}} will appear and start singing. It can then be interacted with to initiate a battle.
