'''Totodile''' (Japanese: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a Pokémon that [[Honō]] befriends in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team]].

==History==
Totodile first appears walking to the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]] with the intent on joining. However, he is unable to work up the nerve to actually go inside and gives up, earning the mocking laughter of {{mdc|Chatot|2}}. Dejected, Totodile leaves and finds a {{p|Chimchar}} lying on the ground unconscious.

Although worried that he might be dead, the Chimchar soon wakes up, shocking Totodile in the process. When Totodile calls Chimchar by his name, he questions why Totodile did that before coming to the realization that he is the Chimchar that was being referred to. The Chimchar states that he is human named Honō, causing Totodile to laugh at the ridiculous claim.

After Honō burns Totodile's face in anger, Totodile accidentally drops his treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]]. Soon after, a [[Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)|Koffing and Zubat]] trick Totodile into giving them the Relic Fragment and run off with it. Despite his best efforts, Totodile is unable to take it back and is told that he has to fight if he wants his prized possession back.

They follow the two thieves into a cave and after dodging several traps, prepare to face them in battle. Honō battles Koffing and Zubat alone, due to Totodile being too scared to fight. After the battle causes a cave-in, Honō convinces Totodile to be brave and fight back. Totodile manages to defeat their opponents, winning back the Relic Fragment in the process. Soon after, they encounter the famous explorer, {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, who asks them if they are a Rescue Team. Totodile attempts to deny the claim, but Honō stops him and calls the two of them the blazing Exploration Team, Team Blaze.

Sometime later, Totodile and Honō successfully join the Wigglytuff Guild as Team Blaze. After the daily roll call, Dusknoir arrives and reveals that several [[Time Gear]]s have been stolen by an evil Pokémon called {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}. Dusknoir reveals that {{p|Mesprit}} and {{mdc|Uxie|2}} have been seriously injured by Grovyle, giving Totodile and Honō the idea to set out to protect {{p|Azelf}} from the same fate.

The two travels to the [[Crystal Crossing]] but find themselves too late and see that Grovyle has already defeated Azelf. To protect Azelf and the Time Gear, Totodile and Honō rush into battle against the thief. Although it appears that they have the upper hand, Grovyle proves to be extremely powerful, even brushing off a super effective attack from Honō. However, Dusknoir arrives to lend his assistance, allowing Honō to defeat and capture Grovyle.

Afterward, they take Grovyle back to the Guild, where Dusknoir reveals that Grovyle is actually a thief from the future. Dusknoir explains that he is from the future as well, and went back in time to take Grovyle back to his time to be executed. After sending Grovyle into the future, Dusknoir suddenly grabs Totodile and Honō and throws them into the Dimensional Hole as well.

Later, they find themselves captured along with Grovyle in a twisted, dark future. Totodile is at first clueless as to why he and Honō are tied up with Grovyle and refuses to believe that Dusknoir is truly evil until he attempts to kill them. With quick thinking, Grovyle and Honō free each other and Totodile from their bindings and escapes with a Luminous Orb. Despite saving them, Totodile refuses to believe that Grovyle is a good guy and the ensuing argument causes the group to separate.

Despite not believing Grovyle, Honō manages to convince Totodile to search for him since he might know how to get back to the past. When they find Grovyle, he is trapped by a {{p|Spiritomb}} that is easily defeated by Totodile and Honō. After they rescue him, they explain to Grovyle why they rescued him, to which he understands and lets them join him. They venture through the Deep Dusk Forest and find {{mdc|Celebi|2}} so that she can use the [[Passage of Time]] and send them back into the past. However, they are soon ambushed by Dusknoir, several {{p|Sableye}}, and their master, [[Primal Dialga]].

[[File:Totodile Honoo reunite BET.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile and Honō reunited]]
As they battle them, Dusknoir reveals that Honō is actually the human partner of Grovyle's that went missing some time ago. Celebi sacrifices herself to block one of Dusknoir's attacks and sends the group back in time. Since Grovyle is a wanted criminal in the present time, Totodile decides to take them to his house on [[Sharpedo Bluff]] as a place to stay in the meantime. The next day, Grovyle decides to gather the remaining Time Gears while Totodile and Honō get information on the [[Hidden Land]] to prevent the dark future from happening.

As they walk to [[Treasure Town]], they find {{mdc|Bidoof|2}} and the rest of the Wigglytuff Guild members in distress due to time freezing all over the area. After consulting {{mdc|Torkoal|2}}, they head off to [[Brine Cave]] to find the Hidden Land. After his Relic Fragment glows, Totodile and Honō encounter {{mdc|Lapras|2}}, who takes the two to the Hidden Land.

Upon arriving, Dusknoir attacks the group in an attempt to stop them from preventing the dark future. They battle him, but Dusknoir once again proves a powerful opponent and is not affected by their attacks. Grovyle soon returns, having re-gathered the Time Gears, and joins in the battle against Dusknoir. With a powerful combination attack, they manage to defeat Dusknoir's most powerful attack.

After Totodile leaves to open the path to the [[Temporal Tower]], he comes back to find Grovyle sacrificing himself by throwing Dusknoir and himself back to the future. Admiring his bravery, Totodile and Honō set off for the Temporal Tower to fix the future.

Later, Totodile is seen on the beach near Sharpedo Bluff after the events on the Temporal Tower. He sadly recollects the events that led up to this moment and regrets not knowing that his and Honō's actions would cause all of the Pokémon in the future to disappear, including Honō. He flashes back to when they fought Dialga and saved the future by putting the Time Gears in a special area that fixed the tower from collapsing, turning Dialga back into his normal self.

After saving the future, Honō begins disappearing, just as Dusknoir told him during their battle on the Hidden Land. Despite the world returning to normal, Totodile can't help but miss the friend he had adventured with. The sorrow Totodile felt is powerful enough to reach Dialga, who, in an act of kindness, restores Honō back to existence and brings the two together again.

'''Urshifu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウーラオス''' ''Wulaosu'') is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in [[The Isle of Armor]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kubfu}} when shown the scroll in one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]] or when exposed to the [[Scroll of Darkness]] or the [[Scroll of Waters]].

It has two [[#Form data|separate forms]]. Its form is determined by how it is evolved from Kubfu.
* In its '''Single Strike Style''', it is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Dark}}. Kubfu evolves into this form when shown the [[Scroll of Darkness]].
* In its '''Rapid Strike Style''', it is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}. Kubfu evolves into this form when shown the [[Scroll of Waters]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Urshifu has two [[Gigantamax]] forms, one for each Style. It can Gigantamax into '''Gigantamax Urshifu''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

Urshifu is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Isle of Armor]], appearing on the boxarts of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

==Biology==
Urshifu is a large, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a humanoid black bear with a wushu motif. It has a muscular build with long legs and long arms with large paws and claws for striking. Its body and head are covered in gray, black, and white fur, minus the yellow muzzle. The front of Urshifu's pelt slightly resembles a traditional frog buttoned/braid buttoned hanging off ends on both front and back. The fur on Urshifu's head is spikier and flares into a flowing white and black headband. The backs of Urshifu's hands, its knuckles, and the tops of its feet are also white-colored.

Urshifu's fighting style and personality are determined by how it trained as a {{p|Kubfu}} and which one of the [[Scroll of Darkness|special]] [[Scroll of Waters|scrolls]] it reads from one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]]. Urshifu is the evolved form of the "{{p|Kubfu|secret armor}}" of the [[Isle of Armor]]'s [[Master Dojo]], and reaches its full potential through either the path of darkness or the path of waters. It is also known to enjoy eating [[honey]], particularly [[Max Honey]] found in [[Honeycalm Island]]. Wild Urshifu live in mountainous areas of a region far away from the [[Galar Route 9|Galar]] [[region]], training its legs and moves by racing across sheer cliffs.

Urshifu is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Unseen Fist}} as its [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Urshifu has two forms, Single Strike Style and Rapid Strike Style, each with unique [[Gigantamax]] forms. The two Styles appear nearly identical to each other, with the main differences being the look of the fur on top of its head, and the posing of both of its fists and legs.

;Single Strike Style
Appearance-wise, the fur on top of Single Strike Style Urshifu's head and on its legs flows up, while its headband flares upward and backward. The two styles also have different default poses: Single Strike Style Urshifu has its front fist raised, back fist lowered, and both feet planted.

Single Strike Style Urshifu prefers battling without holding back, and often employs one-hit KO strategies. If enraged, it will mercilessly attack the opponent until utterly crushed. Its movements are direct and involve rushing in a straight line. When it is a certain distance away from an opponent, it quickly leaps in to unleash {{m|Wicked Blow|a powerful blow}}.<ref name=UrshifuSite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/urshifu/ Urshifu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Single Strike Style Urshifu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Wicked Blow}}.

;Rapid Strike Style
Appearance-wise, the fur on top of Rapid Strike Style Urshifu's head and on its legs flows down, while its headband flares forward and outward. Rapid Strike Style Urshifu has its back fist raised, front fist lowered, and front foot lifted off the ground.

Rapid Strike Style Urshifu prefers calmly observing the opponents and their strengths while dodging. Its movements and attacks have been compared to a river, flowing but unyielding. It uses flowing movements to ward off an opponent's attack before overwhelming them with {{m|Surging Strikes|rapid strikes}}.<ref name="UrshifuSite" />

Rapid Strike Style Urshifu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Surging Strikes}}.

;Gigantamax Single Strike Style
When Single Strike Style Urshifu [[Gigantamax]]es, the patterns on its fur become significantly accentuated, its headband lengthens, and its eyes and mouth take on a white glow. In general, parts of its fur that used to be gray are now white, and parts that used to be black are now red. In addition, Urshifu's leg fur and headband become spikier.

Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu has been called "the very embodiment of rage" and "a divine emissary that banishes evil spirits with its fury."<ref name="GmaxUrshifuSite">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-urshifu/ Gigantamax Urshifu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> It is believed that Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu can rid the world of its malevolence through its terrifying expression and shouting. The shockwaves released from its fists can blow away [[Dynamax]]ed Pokémon with just one hit.

Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max One Blow}}.

; Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style
When Rapid Strike Style Urshifu [[Gigantamax]]es, the patterns on its fur become significantly accentuated, its headband lengthens, and its eyes and mouth take on a white glow. In general, parts of its fur that used to be gray are now white, and parts that used to be black are now blue. In addition, Urshifu's leg fur and headband become rounder and less spiky.

Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style Urshifu maintains a perfect one-legged stance in a calm, unflinching manner. Opponents who face it may either feel greatly agitated or experience a sense of relief as if freed from evil spirits.<ref name="GmaxUrshifuSite" /> Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style Urshifu could supposedly destroy those with evil in their hearts by simply glaring at them.

Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style Urshifu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}}.

==Trivia==
*Urshifu and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/yusuke_omura/status/1280804410176622593 Tweet about designing Kubfu and Urshifu]</ref>
*Urshifu is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] that has a [[Gigantamax]] form, and consequently the only Legendary Pokémon that can use a [[G-Max Move]].
** It is also the only Pokémon with more than one Gigantamax form, and consequently the only Pokémon with more than one G-Max Move.
**It is also the only Pokémon with a Gigantamax Form whose {{Shiny}} form is unavailable, not counting {{p|Melmetal}}, as Melmetal has been made legitimately available in Shiny form, albeit without the Gigantamax Factor, which it cannot gain from {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}.

===Origin===
Urshifu may be based on an {{wp|Asian black bear}} and a ''{{wp|Wushu (sport)|wushu}}'' fighter. Its two forms may reference various styles of Chinese martial arts.

Single Strike Style Urshifu may have been based on {{wp|Bajiquan}}, a highly assaultive style featuring precise, powerful and direct strikes. This can give meaning to Single Strike Style Urshifu's signature move, Wicked Blow; which always lands in a critical hit and described to be a singular, strong punch. The posture of Single Strike Urshifu in its official artwork may be based on the ''shàngbù dǐngzhǒu'' (Chinese: 上步頂肘 / 上步顶肘) stance of Bajiquan, where the practicer takes a step forward and protrudes an elbow towards the opponent. The Single Strike Style may also be a reference to ''Ikken Hissatsu'' (一拳必殺), a term commonly associated with karate meaning "to annihilate in one blow" or "one hit, one kill."

Rapid Strike Style Urshifu and its signature move, Surging Strikes, may have been based on {{wp|Tai chi|Taijiquan}}, which is based around flowing movements, balance, dodging, deflecting, and tactile surging movements of "push hands." Its {{t|Water}} typing may also be a reference to the water parable in Taoism, which is popularized by the "be like water" quote by {{wp|Bruce Lee}}. The posture of Rapid Strike Urshifu in its official artwork may be based on the "golden rooster stands on one leg" posture of the Taijiquan forms.

Both Urshifu forms may represent each side of the martial art concept of "hard and soft" or "external and internal," with the Single Strike Style representing the "hard" or "external" side, while the Rapid Strike Style represents the "soft" or "internal" side. Both forms of Urshifu and their pre-Evolution Kubfu may also be based on the {{wp|Ursa Major}} and the {{wp|Ursa Minor}} constellations.

Urshifu's [[Gigantamax]] forms may be inspired by {{wp|fierce deities}}, transformed Buddhas with terrifying appearances yet noble hearts, that judge and punish the spirits of the dead, and additionally, quell evil. Alternatively, they might have been influenced by {{wp|Nio}}, Agyō and Ungyō, a pair of viciously powerful {{wp|Buddhist deities}} that ward off evil spirits and protect good spirits, as Urshifu is also capable of doing both. Typically, statues depicting Agyō will have its mouth open as a sign of violent aggression, while Ungyō will have its mouth closed to represent latent strength. Gigantamax Urshifu's forms seem to reverse this, as Rapid Strike Style's mouth is closed and it attacks its foes relentlessly, while Single Strike Style's mouth is open and it confidently delivers a single punch to a weak point. Additionally, the statues are often colored red and blue, though the color is not a prominent trait of either, as they can each be red or blue, and sometimes both.

====Name origin====
Urshifu may be a combination of ''ursus'' (Latin for bear) and ''{{wp|shifu}}'' (Chinese for master). It may also involve ''{{wp|kung fu}}''.

Wulaosu may be a combination of ''{{wp|wushu}}'' (Chinese martial arts), 老師 / 老师 ''lǎoshī'' (Chinese for teacher), and possibly ウラー ''urā'' (hurrah, battle cry) and 押忍 ''osu'' (interjection used in Japanese martial arts).

'''Purifying Cave''' (Japanese: '''じょうかの{{tt|洞窟|どうくつ}}''' ''Purifying Cave'') is a [[Mystery Dungeon|dungeon]] in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] that is located on the [[Water Continent]]. It is unlocked during Chapter 11 of the story, and is also the final story dungeon of the game's epilogue.

{{spoilers}}
During the epilogue, after fighting through the dungeon's fifteen floors, the {{player}} arrives at the cave's pit, where they find an unconscious {{mdc|Mew|smd}}, along with {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and the {{mdc|Beheeyem|smd}}. Nuzleaf apologizes to the player, claiming that they did so to prevent [[Dark Matter]] from ever coming back, and Mew begins to glow with light and seemingly fade away. Reminded of the partner's departure, the player refuses this, not wanting to say goodbye again. At this time, the player's [[Harmony Scarf]] begins glowing, combining with the light surrounding Mew, which restores the partner. [[Expedition Society|Ampharos, Mawile]], and {{p|Xatu}} appear, admitting that the "kidnapping" was all a set-up. Xatu had already foreseen the events; the set-up was a test to prove the player's desire for the partner's return. The [[Expedition Society]], reunited with the partner, return home happily, while Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem are allowed to stay at Nuzleaf's old home in [[Serene Village]]. Mew returns home, but remains a usable ally to go exploring with.

Dark Matter

2024-06-26T18:27:24Z

Ultimate Kirb: Minor grammatical fix

'''Dark Matter''' (Japanese: '''ダークマター''' ''Dark Matter'') is the main antagonist of [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]].

==History==
{{spoilers}}
Dark Matter is an entity born of the negative feelings of all the Pokémon in the world. By absorbing a Pokémon's life energy, it has the ability to turn them to stone. When a Pokémon's body is turned to stone, its spirit is sent to the [[Voidlands]], a dark realm swarming with [[Void Shadows]], Dark Matter's minions capable of taking on the form of Pokémon. Dark Matter is also able to possess Pokémon that have even the smallest amount of darkness in their hearts. Using its mind-controlled slaves, Dark Matter turns Pokémon to stone to absorb their energy and grow stronger. Its ultimate goal is to "return the world to the void", namely to cause its spinning to stop and make it be consumed by the sun. It attempts to accomplish this by absorbing energy from the [[Tree of Life]], the source of all the life in the world.

A long time ago in the past, when Dark Matter first surfaced, Pokémon fought against it to prevent their world from being destroyed. Alongside those Pokémon, a sole [[human]] also joined the fight. Due to the stars aligning just right in the sky, Dark Matter was finally defeated. However, the negative feelings that Dark Matter was made out of rained over the world, ensuring that it would one day rise again. The ancient Pokémon, foreseeing this, prepared certain countermeasures for the future, such as sealing a spring of [[Luminous Water]] on the top of [[Revelation Mountain]], holding the power to turn Pokémon back from being turned to stone. {{p|Mew}}, a [[Mythical Pokémon]] who had acted as a leading figure during the battle against Dark Matter, sent its spirit into the future to be reborn during the era in which Dark Matter would resurface.

During the events of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Dark Matter is first mentioned by ancient writings in the Voidlands, where the [[Hero Pokémon|player]], their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon|partner}}, and most of the [[Expedition Society]] are sent after {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}}, {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}}, and {{mdc|Beheeyem|smd}} possessed by Dark Matter turn them to stone after the player breaks the barrier over Luminous Water spring on Revelation Mountain. During their journey through the Voidlands, they also learn bits of the past and come to understand bits of Dark Matter's history.

Later, after the player and their partner return to the real world, they rejoin with their remaining allies, and eventually make their way to the Tree of Life, which is withering and dying due to Dark Matter's influence. After defeating Dark Matter's minions, the group witnesses as the Dark Matter causes the Tree of Life to lift into the air and start flying away from the planet, meaning to pull both the tree and the planet into the sun. However, thanks to the combined efforts of multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}, the tree's ascent is significantly slowed down, giving the player and their partner time to reach Dark Matter. After {{p|Arceus}} teleports the two to the Tree of Life, their [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]] cause them to [[evolution|evolve]] to their final stages for the third time, protecting them from the cold temperatures and thin air in the {{wp|stratosphere}}. While climbing the tree, the duo encounters Nuzleaf, Yveltal, and the Beheeyem, whom they free from Dark Matter's binds.

Ultimately the player and their partner confront Dark Matter at the top of the Tree of Life, where it traps them into a pocket dimension of its own making. Knowing that the tree isn't completely dead yet, the duo engages Dark Matter in battle. However, just when it seems like they have almost won, the Tree of Life finally runs out of energy, allowing Dark Matter to regenerate itself, assuming a new sphere form to protect its core, while the player and their partner are forced to revert to their original stages and all their current [[emera]]s are lost. Although Nuzleaf, Yveltal, and the Beheeyem try to attack their former controller, they all end up being turned to stone. While the situation seems hopeless, the partner and the spirits of all the Pokémon who have been turned to stone encourage the player to not give up. The player and partner start fighting back, revitalizing the Tree of Life and engaging in yet another battle against Dark Matter, breaking it down bit by bit. When its core is finally exposed, Dark Matter tells the duo how simply breaking it would cause it to be born again in the distant future. Surprisingly, the partner still is ready to break Dark Matter, accepting its negative feelings as being a part of everyone. The partner strikes Dark Matter's core one more time, causing it to burst into pieces, faintly thanking the partner for accepting it.

Afterwards, {{p|Xerneas}}, the incarnate form of the Tree of Life, reveals that Dark Matter has now completely disappeared, having turned to sparkling light that faded into nothingness. Close to the ending of the main game, Xerneas made the partner remember that, in their previous life, they used to be Mew, having fought Dark Matter alongside the player in the distant past. Due to their past attempt of defeating Dark Matter having actually failed, Mew and the player had agreed to have their memories erased, all in an attempt to avoid repeating their mistakes in the future. As the partner had accepted Dark Matter, it had disappeared for good, but doing this had also caused the part of Dark Matter that originated from Mew to disappear as well, forcing the partner to leave the Pokémon world after explaining the truth of their past to the player.

==Characteristics==
Dark Matter has no [[type]], and its size matches that of a [[gigantic Pokémon]]. In the first phase of the battle, Dark Matter's core is protected by a cage-like structure. In the second phase, its shell takes on a sphere-like form, which breaks up a bit every time Dark Matter takes enough [[damage]]. After being cracked for the first time, Dark Matter takes on a semi-random type, which resists the type of the last move that hit it. Its type will change each time the sphere gets more cracked, which will happen a total of three times during the fight. In case an [[Alliance]] is used to do this, one of the moves used as a part of it will be chosen at random, even if one of the moves failed to hit.

Like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Dark Matter has [[Statistic|stats]] and it can be affected by [[status condition]]s.

===Ability===
Like the [[Void Shadows]], Dark Matter has its own unique [[Ability]].

* '''Dark Matter''' - With this Ability, the text will say "Dark Matter blew away its surroundings!", and Dark Matter will blow back all targets around it, similar to {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}. This automatically happens in the second phase, when it takes enough damage to crack its shell; this happens three times. This Ability cannot be replaced by Ability-changing moves or items, such as the {{DL|Wand|Truant Wand}}.

===Attacks===
Like the [[Bittercold]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], Dark Matter also has special attacks that are unique to it. However, they emphasize less on causing negative status effects and more on dealing damage. All of these attacks have 99 [[PP]] each, and are ''''No type'''' in the game's code, meaning they are typeless. Unlike the Bittercold, these moves have actual names in the game's code (rather than '''[[File:IconKanji2MD.png]]UNUSED'''), but the names are still not displayed in-game.

* '''Charging Start N''' - Dark Matter charges up its power for five turns, then unleashes countless dark spires across the entire arena, dealing massive damage to any Pokémon it hits. Where it will strike is telegraphed by red tiles that must be avoided in order to prevent the attack from hitting; the player's partner will automatically move to a safe tile. It is only used in its first phase.

* '''Charging Start F''' - Almost identical to Charging Start N, with two differences: it takes three turns to charge, and it uses this attack in its second phase.

* '''Mow Down''' - Dark Matter rears up a wave of darkness like it would an arm, and then swings the "arm" around itself. Despite its appearance, this attack can only hit Pokémon directly in front of it. Deals roughly 45-65 damage to each Pokémon in the attack radius.

* '''Shadow Casting''' - Dark Matter lets its animosity lash out, surrounding a target with its dark aura. This attack will either inflict a random status condition or reduce a random stat on a random target on the whole floor.

* '''WAZA_YOBI_03''' - Also known as "taking aim and striking", Dark Matter surrounds its body with its dark aura, then strikes with a shadowy blast. Hits and deals damage to the closest target in the whole floor.

==Trivia==
* Dark Matter is similar to [[Dark Rust]], the [[Bittercold]], and the Void Shadows in that they can be fought, but are not Pokémon.
* Unlike the Bittercold, but like Dark Rust, Dark Matter speaks on multiple occasions and appears to be sentient.
** In the English version, Dark Matter's dialogue is typed out with inconsistent and seemingly random capitalization, possibly an allusion to it speaking in numerous voices at once.
** In the Japanese version, Dark Matter randomly switches between four different Japanese writing styles: romaji, katakana, kanji, and hiragana. This results in wildly shifting tones and grammatical styles, further suggesting the presence of multiple voices speaking together.<ref>[https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/how-does-dark-matter-talk-in-japanese-pokemon-super-mystery-dungeon-jp-vs-eng/ <nowiki>How does Dark Matter talk in Japanese? – Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon [JP vs ENG]</nowiki>]</ref>
* Dark Matter shares its English, French, Spanish, and Japanese names with {{wk|Dark Matter}} from the ''{{wk|Kirby (series)|Kirby series}}''. They are both main antagonists that can control the minds of other characters, and both are dark spherical entities with evil plans involving negative emotions who are ultimately beaten using positive emotions.
* Like the Bittercold, Dark Matter is created from the negative emotions of Pokémon. According to Ampharos, it is made up of hate, sadness, and rage.
* After the partner chooses to accept Dark Matter and destroys its core, it can faintly be seen saying "ThANK yOU" in white text as the screen fades to white.

'''Transform''' (Japanese: '''へんしん''' ''Transform'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

The [[Ability]] {{a|Imposter}} has the same effect as Transform.

==Effect==
Transform causes the user to become a copy of the target.

Transform bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It is not affected by [[type]] immunity. Transform fails if used on a Pokémon that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}, but works on a target [[protection|protected]] by other moves such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}. It also fails against [[Shadow Pokémon]], if the user or the target are transformed or disguised by an {{a|Illusion}} or if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}. Some of these conditions were different in older generations; see the table below for details on when conditions would not prevent Transform from executing.

|}

A transformation cannot be transferred via {{m|Baton Pass}}.

A transformed Pokémon returns to its original state once it is [[recall|switched out]], [[fainting|faints]], or the battle ends.

====Copied traits====
Broadly, Transform copies the target's appearance, types, [[Ability]], [[stat]]s, and [[move]]s; the user retains its {{stat|HP}} and [[level]]. More precise details are below.

*: In [[Generation II]], the [[Love Ball]] uses copied IVs for transformed wild Pokémon. [[#Generation II|See below]]

Transform copies any changes to the target's type (such as from {{m|Conversion}} or {{a|Color Change}}), Ability (such as from {{m|Skill Swap}}), or moves (via {{m|Mimic}}). It also copies types added by {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. If the target has no primary types (not counting added types, that is) due to {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Burn Up}}, or {{m|Double Shock}}, the transformation's primary type will be {{t|Normal}}.

The user's level has no effect, except in Generations {{gen|I}}-{{gen|III}} if the Pokémon levels up and its stats are recalculated. Appearance refers to the sprite or model of the Pokémon shown on the field and covers the Pokémon's species, [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]], [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], and whether it is {{Shiny}}. (Prior to [[Generation IV]], there was some complicated [[#Appearance nuances|nuance]] regarding the transformation's coloration.) The copied stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed) include the final values (as seen on the [[summary]] screen) as well as the target's [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. Outside of the transformation's appearance, gender (for the purpose of battle mechanics as well as the gender symbol after the name) was only copied starting in [[Generation V]], with [[#Generation II|a small exception]] in [[Generation II]].

Transform does not affect the user's {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose [[type]], as well as the [[power]] up to Generation V, are based on the user's original IVs). It also will not alter [[status condition]]s or volatile statuses (such as {{m|Telekinesis}} or {{m|Leech Seed}}) based on the transformation's immunities.

===Appearance nuances===
In all generations, in the summary and [[party]] screens, a transformed Pokémon is shown in its untransformed state. (This applies to its moves, Ability, and stats as well.) In [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] games, the list of moves seen on the bottom screen during battle will also show the untransformed sprite of the Pokémon.

In Generation I, if either the user or the target's sprite has changed because of {{m|Acid Armor}} or {{m|Minimize}}, after using Transform, the transformation's normal sprite will be shown.

In the Generation I and II [[core series]] games, a transformed Pokémon [[Color palette (Generations I–II)#Transform color palettes|retains its original color palette]].

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and Generation III games (including [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]]), whether a transformed Pokémon appears Shiny depends on whether the user was originally Shiny; since Generation IV, it depends on whether the target was Shiny.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} is the target of Transform, Transform will copy any [[clothing|clothes]] they are wearing.

===Forms===
{{MoveResearch|Gen III: Interaction with Deoxys's forms in link battles between games in which Deoxys has different forms}}
Transform copies the target's current form. In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, a transformed Pokémon can change form if it fulfills the conditions for a form change (such as by [[held item|holding]] a [[Plate]] as {{p|Arceus}}). Since [[Generation V]], a transformed Pokémon cannot change forms.

[[Dynamax]] transformations are not treated like a form, meaning Transform will copy the base form of a Dynamax or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon or [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, and a transformed Pokémon is able to Dynamax. If Transform copies a Gigantamax Pokémon, it does not copy the Gigantamax Factor, so Dynamaxing will not result in a Gigantamax Pokémon. If Transform is used by a Dynamaxed Pokémon, it will fail if the target is {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, or Eternatus.

Transform will fail if the target is a [[Starmobile]]. If the target is a [[Titan Pokémon]], the user transforms into a regular version of that species.

===PP===
{{MoveResearch|Are PP Ups taken into account for maximum PP displayed for a transformed Pokémon in Generation I and II?}}
When a move is copied, it will have 5 {{PP}}, unless its maximum PP is less (such as {{m|Sketch}}). In Generations I and II, the maximum PP is the same as the move's natural maximum PP; in Generations III and IV, each copied move receives the effect of [[PP Up]]s applied to the same move slot of the user's original moves; since Generation V, the maximum PP for copied moves is 5.

In Generations I-III, {{cat|PP-restoring items}} such as [[Ether]] can only restore PP to a move if the Pokémon knew the move before transforming. For a held [[Leppa Berry]], if a move the Pokémon did not know reaches 0 PP, the Berry will not trigger.

===Species-exclusive conditions===
{{MoveResearch|For Gen VI: Interaction with choice items on targets who also know Transform aside from Generation V}}
A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by most Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s. Only [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] use the transformation's species.

A transformed Pokémon can use moves exclusive to a species it has transformed into, such as {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} if transformed into {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound or [[Z-Move#For specific Pokémon|exclusive Z-Moves]] (if it holds the correct Z-Crystal, and [[#Generation VII|is not Mega-Evolved]]).

If a Pokémon transforms into Meteor Form {{p|Minior}}, {{a|Shields Down}} will not prevent it from being afflicted with status conditions.

===Generation I===
In this generation only, if the player's Pokémon is transformed and deals or receives a [[critical hit]], its untransformed stats are used in the damage calculation. (The calculation correctly uses transformed stats for wild and NPC Pokémon.)

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} only, Transform fails if the target's current species is {{p|Ditto}}. Transforms works normally against Ditto in the earlier Japan-only game {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}.

====Glitches====
{{main|Transform glitches}}
Generation I has several glitches relating to Transform. Any transformed wild Pokémon will become Ditto if it is caught, due to the {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}}. If a transformed Pokémon uses Transform again, its previous stats (stored as a backup) are overwritten by its current stats (as they are backed up so that Transform can change the working stats); this is the {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform DV manipulation glitch}}. If a Pokémon that is not {{p|Ditto}} uses Transform, the {{DL|Transform glitches|color loss glitch}} will cause it to change to Ditto's palette. The {{DL|Transform glitches|level up moveset glitch}} causes a transformed Pokémon to regain its original moveset if it levels up and learns a new move.

===Generation II===
In this generation only, for a wild transformed Pokémon, the [[Love Ball]] uses the stats copied by Transform and the Pokémon's original species to [[Gender#Generation II|determine]] the Pokémon's gender<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/6805c678eecddb38c6f546a119c8838c367e408e/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L950 GS Love Ball mismatched species for transformed Pokémon bug in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref>. Both {{m|Attract}} and the gender symbol shown in battle obey the Pokémon's original gender (for any transformed Pokémon).

In this generation only, {{m|Mirror Move}} always fails when used by a transformed Pokémon.

====Glitches====
{{main|Transform glitches}}
Generation II has several glitches relating to Transform. The {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform assumption glitch}} and {{DL|Transform glitches|Transform DV manipulation glitch}} from Generation I still exist. The latter now has an additional effect, the {{DL|Transform glitches|Roar/Whirlwind shared DV glitch}}: in a battle with an NPC, if the NPC's Pokémon has used Transform twice and is forced to switch out, the next Pokémon will have its predecessor's DVs. If a transformed Pokémon is caught, it will have 10/10 PP for Transform despite having used the move.

===Generation III===
During a [[Pokémon Contest]], the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants.

===Generation IV===
During a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], the Pokémon will transform into one of the other contestants.

===Generation V===
Pokémon that know Transform are banned from participating in [[Pokéstar Studios]] films. For the purposes of the [[Eviolite]], the original form of the user is considered, rather than the Pokémon it Transformed into.

===Generation VI===
In a Pokémon Contest Spectacular, when Transform is used, a {{m|Substitute}} doll is thrown on the stage and the user transforms into the doll. The effect of Transform will last for the round it is used in.

===Generation VII===
If a Pokémon transforms into a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, it cannot use any [[Z-Move]]s, even if it holds an appropriate [[Z-Crystal]].

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Transform, the user's HP is fully restored.

===Generation IX===
Transform does not copy Tera Types, meaning that a transformed Pokémon that [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] will use its own Tera Type. If a Pokémon Terastallizes before using Transform, Transform will not change its type.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Transform causes the user to take the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy anything else; if the Pokémon had nothing but Transform, they are left only with the regular attack and {{m|Struggle}}.

From [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] onward, Transform copies the appearance, type, Ability, moves, and stat modifications of the target for the current floor, but the transforming Pokémon retains its stats. Moves learned through {{m|Sketch}} while transformed will be forgotten after moving to the next floor. If used by an enemy to transform into the leader, the leader's teammates become confused.

Transformed Pokémon are still prone to [[status conditions]] and [[dungeon tile]] restrictions from its original form; for example, a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into a {{type|Fire}} can still be [[burn]]ed, and a Pokémon that cannot walk through water still cannot when transforming into a Pokémon that is able to.

Transform cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
In a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} or {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}, Transform is automatically cast at the beginning of the battle. It turns the user into a copy of the opponent and copies the opponent's [[move]]s, species, base Attack, and base Defense; HP, {{IV}}s, and [[Power Up]] level are not copied. Unlike other attacks, Transform does not require the user to wait out the duration before casting an attack or dodging, and its animation is purely visual. However, it may cause lag for the rest of the battle if the player attempts to attack during the animation. The effects of Transform expire at the end of the battle.

Transform will not be cast if the opponent is a Ditto.

If Ditto is used against a [[Team GO Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)|Team GO Rocket Grunt]] or another player, Transform will behave like regular attacks and not transform Ditto into opposing Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In Generation I core series games and {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, if two Pokémon battle using only Transform (such as a battle between two {{p|Ditto}} or two {{p|Mew}} with Transform), both Pokémon are able to continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and so that the battle never has to end.
* Since the Transform user retains its own gender, it is possible to transform into a Pokémon species which would be normally unavailable with that gender. For instance, a male {{p|Smeargle}} retains his gender (including the symbol ♂ displayed in battle), even when transformed into [[:Category:Female-only Pokémon|female-only Pokémon]] such as {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Chansey}}, or {{p|Tsareena}}, or into [[:Category:Gender-unknown Pokémon|gender-unknown Pokémon]] such as {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Beldum}}, or {{p|Cryogonal}}.
** The Transform user copies the appearance and visual gender differences of the target, even if those are not compatible with the Transform user's gender. For instance, if a male Smeargle copies a female {{p|Pikachu}}, then he will have the appearance of a female Pikachu as well (with the heart-shaped tail) even though he remains male like before (with the ♂ symbol in battle).
* Transform is the only way to see the battle animation of {{p|Cherrim}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Sunshine Form]] in [[Generation IV]], as Cherrim sent from a Poké Ball will always be sent out in Overcast Form, and Cherrim is not available in the wild in Generation IV. A Ditto that transforms into Cherrim, however, will play the animation of the alternate form if it escapes from a thrown Poké Ball.
* In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, since most Pokémon can use Transform via {{m|Mimic}} and keep their original [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color palette]] while transformed, it is possible to see several color palettes applied to any Pokémon. For example, if a {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, or {{p|Charmeleon}} uses Transform (via Mimic), it becomes a yellow, green, or red version of the target, respectively.
** In these generations, the Pokémon images and their color palettes are stored separately in the game data, so the palettes are able to be arbitrarily applied to each Pokémon. There is no need to store repeated Pokémon images with different colors in the internal data.
* From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 765 [[effort values|EVs]] (if it has 255 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP). Similarly, from [[Generation VI]] onwards, a transformed Pokémon may legitimately have up to 762 EVs (if it has 252 HP EVs, and the target Pokémon has 510 EVs other than HP).
* In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations.
* In some Pokémon media, Ditto is known to transform into humans. This happened in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], as well as in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 2|volume 2]] of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], and in the {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|movie}} movie.

'''Deerling''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シキジカ''' ''Shikijika'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Sawsbuck}} starting at [[level]] 34.

Deerling [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deerling and Sawsbuck|changes its appearance]] depending on the current {{OBP|season|mechanic}}. However, this change in form does not occur after capture, unless it is present in the {{player}}'s party at the time of a season change. This applies to Eggs as well.
* When the month is January, May, or September, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Spring}}, and it becomes '''Spring Form'''.
* When the month is February, June, or October, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Summer}}, and it becomes '''Summer Form'''.
* When the month is March, July, or November, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Autumn}}, and it becomes '''Autumn Form'''.
* When the month is April, August, or December, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Winter}}, and it becomes '''Winter Form'''.

{{incomplete|section|Need to get Scarlet and Violet locations for season forms}}

From [[Generation VI]] onwards, seasons are no longer a mechanic in the game, and only the Spring Form has been obtainable in the wild. However, its other forms are retained upon [[Poké Transporter|transferring]] from Generation V and can be passed down via [[breeding]]. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Deerling's ability to change forms returns, and is done in the same method as in {{4v|Black|White}}, however the form it will become is now based on the location that the game was loaded in. In general, Spring Form Deerling are located in the South Province (Areas One, Two, Three, Four and Five), Summer Form Deerling in the East Province (Areas One and Two), Autumn Form Deerling in the West Province (Areas Two and Three) and Winter Form Deerling in the North Province (Dalizapa Passage and Glaseado Mountain).

==Biology==
Deerling is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|deer}} fawn. The upper side of its body is pink in the spring, green in the summer, orange in the autumn, and brown in the winter.

Deerling has a yellow-patterned rim, and its underside is peach. It sports a yellow floral tuft on its head with small antlers hidden underneeth, and similar yellow coloration on the insides of its tapering ears. The tips of its limbs are colored black and its pink tail is small.

It can change in appearance with the changing of the seasons. Deerling has a different scent depending on season. For spring its delicate, sweet, and calming. For summer, it is a distinct grassy scent. For the fall, it has a softly sweet scent. In winter however, Deerling has no scent.

If it senses animosity, it hides in tall grass. It moves in herds as it is timid around humans. Despite this, Deering does whatever it wants, even around humans. Deerling will take a liking towards anyone who feeds it. It will playfully headbutt anyone its likes, even if headbutts are a little painful. It dwells in sparsely populated areas, away from humans. It is herbivorous. Despite their innocent and adorable appearance, Deerling are despised by farmers. The reason is due to them being pests that eat all the plant shoots.

In Paldea, {{p|Lycanroc}} is a natural predator of Deerling. Farmers also used the Lycanroc as guards against the Deerling

==Trivia==
* Deerling's Autumn Form has, to date, only ever been released as [[Deerling (Everyone's Exciting Battle 4)|a Pokémon card]] once; because this card was never released outside of Japan, Autumn Form Deerling has never appeared in the International [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* Deerling's Winter Form is its only form that has not appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} yet.

===Origin===
Deerling may be based on a {{wp|sika deer}} fawn.

The colors of its four different seasonal [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] may be visual references to the colors of trees and bushes during the four {{OBP|season|mechanic|seasons}}: with pink representing blossoms in the {{DL|Season (mechanic)|spring}}, green representing fully grown leaves in the {{DL|Season (mechanic)|summer}}, orange representing the changing leaves in the {{DL|Season (mechanic)|autumn}}, and brown representing the bare, leafless tree and bush branches in the {{DL|Season (mechanic)|winter}}. Deerling's design was worked backwards from Sawsbuck's design.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Deerling may be a combination of ''deer'' and ''darling'' or ''[[wiktionary:yearling|yearling]]'' (young animal between the age of one to two years old), with ''-ling'' being a common suffix to denote something that is small or immature.

''Shikijika'' may be a combination of 四季 ''shiki'' (four seasons) and 鹿 ''shika'' (deer).

'''Sawsbuck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メブキジカ''' ''Mebukijika'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Deerling}} starting at [[level]] 34.

In [[Generation V]], Sawsbuck [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deerling and Sawsbuck|changes its appearance]] depending on the current [[Season (mechanic)|season]]. However, this change in form does not occur after capture, unless it is present in the {{player}}'s party at the time of a season change. This applies to Eggs as well.
* When the month is January, May, or September, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Spring}}, and it becomes '''Spring Form'''.
* When the month is February, June, or October, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Summer}}, and it becomes '''Summer Form'''.
* When the month is March, July, or November, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Autumn}}, and it becomes '''Autumn Form'''.
* When the month is April, August, or December, the season is {{DL|Season (mechanic)|Winter}}, and it becomes '''Winter Form'''.

{{incomplete|Section|Need to get Scarlet and Violet locations for season forms}}

From [[Generation VI]] onwards, seasons are no longer a mechanic in the game, and only the Spring Form has been obtainable in the wild. However, its other forms are retained upon [[Poké Transporter|transferring]] from Generation V and can be passed down via [[breeding]]. In {{2v|Scarlet|Violet}}, Sawsbuck's ability to change forms returns, and is done in the same method as in {{4v|Black|White}}, however the form it will become is now based on the location that the game was loaded in.

==Biology==
Sawsbuck is a brown and cream, deer-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rhomboid ears and darker ear insides. Its eyes have light-orange markings that curve down to the sides of its face. It has a dark-brown nose, and it sports cream fur on its chin and sides of its face. Light-orange stripes rim its underbelly, and its back is decorated with spots corresponding to the season: pink in spring, green in summer, orange in fall, and white in winter. Its limbs are slender and tipped with hooves. Unless it's summer, its brown tail points down.

Its appearance changes depending on the season. During the spring, a tuft of cream fur appears on its chest, and its antlers are adorned with pink flowers. During the summer, its tail points up, it grows tufts of fur on the back of its head, and its antlers sport green leaves. During the fall, it sports a cream tuft of fur on its chest, and the leaves on its antlers are red and brown. During the winter, the cream fur turns white, tufts of white fur appear on its chest and lower limbs, and its antlers are coated in white.

Sawsbuck lives in herds led by the Sawsbuck with the most splendid antlers. It can live almost anywhere as they adapt to the season but prefer to live away from humans. It is herbivorous. Sawsbuck have been referred to as the ''harbingers of spring''. There are many enthusiasts out there who love the different forms of Sawsbuck. However, the Winter Form is the least popular of them all.

The flowers on Spring Form's antlers grow slower due to it absorbing nutrients. The paler the Spring Form flower is, the more beautiful Sawsbuck apparently becomes. The more thicker and larger the broach leaves are, the more majestic Summer Form Sawsbuck becomes. Summer Form's leaves can be used to make black tea, which has a diffrent taste depending on region. In [[Paldea]], the tea has a more aromatic taste. The darker the Autumn Form's red foliage leave is, the more stylish it is considered. Autumn Form Sawsbuck have easily short tempers, the males notably fight each other incessantly. In Winter Form, Sawsbuck are calmer and easier to tame during the winter. Hence, it is considered the perfect time to obtain Winter Form Sawsbuck as a partner.

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Horn Leech}} was its [[signature move]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Sawsbuck anime.png|thumb|250px|All four forms of Sawsbuck in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Spring Form Sawsbuck debuted in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', under the ownership of [[Burgundy]]. She used it in her {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Cilan}}, where it went up against {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. However, it lost after being hit by a powerful {{m|Solar Beam}}.

All four forms of Sawsbuck appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]'', with Sawsbuck's Winter Form making its debut, and Sawsbuck's Summer and Autumn Forms making their main series debut. They resided at a secret lake that allowed the Sawsbuck to take on all four forms at the same time. {{OBP|Robert|BW054}}'s aim was to photograph all four forms together, which he was able to do.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Summer Form Sawsbuck appeared in the opening sequences and ending credits of both [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], while Autumn Form Sawsbuck exclusively appeared in the opening sequence of ''Black—Victini and Reshiram''. This also marked the debuts of both the Summer Form and Autumn Form Sawsbuck.

Multiple Sawsbuck appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''.

Multiple Summer Form Sawsbuck appeared in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''. The {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}} legend also featured their Summer and Autumn Forms.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', [[Cassie]]'s Summer Form Sawsbuck competed in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where it lost to [[Geraldo]]'s {{p|Reuniclus}} in the first round.

A Summer Form Sawsbuck appeared in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.

A Summer Form Sawsbuck appeared in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]''.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', multiple Summer Form Sawsbuck were living at [[Pokémon Hills]]. Two of them helped put a fire out there.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sawsbuck sketch.jpeg|thumb|200px|Early concept art for Sawsbuck]]
* Autumn Form Sawsbuck is, to date, the only form of Sawsbuck that has never been released on a card in the Trading Card Game.
* Sawsbuck represents {{wp|January}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* An early concept art for Sawsbuck, dated January 19, 2009, was exhibited during a festival in {{wp|Meiji University}} from October 31 to November 1, 2010. The concept art labeled the Pokémon as ねっこやぎ ''Nekkoyagi'', a {{2t|Grass|Ground}}-type.
** The [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Sawsbuck|design for Sawsbuck]] was created before the concept of seasons was added to {{game|Black and White|s}}.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Sawsbuck may be based on a {{wp|Père David's deer}}, which is a species of deer that decorates its antlers with foliage during the breeding season. Its antlers may also be based on a {{wp|deciduous}} tree. It may also be based on one of the stories of {{wp|Baron Munchausen}}, in which he tries to shoot a stag using cherry pits in his musket. The stag survives and escapes, and the next year he discovers a stag with a cherry tree growing out of its head.

====Name origin====
Sawsbuck may be a play on ''{{wp|sawbuck}}'' (framework for holding wood to be sawn), which contains the word ''buck'' (male deer). ''SAWS'' may also be an acronym for the names of the seasons ('''s'''ummer, '''a'''utumn, '''w'''inter, and '''s'''pring).

Mebukijika may be a combination of 芽吹き ''mebuki'' (to bud) and 鹿 ''shika'' (deer).
