There are many '''{{p|Pikachu}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The following are the main variants besides {{Shiny}} forms and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

==Surfing Pikachu==
'''Surfing Pikachu''' is a Pikachu with a surfboard. With this, it can wield the move {{m|Surf}}.

===In the games===
====Core series====
[[File:Pikachu Beach.png|thumb|Pikachu surfing in Pikachu's Beach]]
* Surfing on a Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will result in a different overworld sprite being used.
* The surfing Pikachu was featured in a minigame exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}, called [[Pikachu's Beach]]. This can only be activated in the original editions of the games by transferring a surfing Pikachu from other games. In the [[Virtual Console]] editions, only the starter Pikachu is needed. The Surfin' Dude there apparently also has a surfing Pikachu.
* In the [[Generation II]] games, {{player}}s may receive a Surf Pikachu {{pkmn|doll}} via [[Mystery Gift]]; however, this [[item]] is very rare.
* Though surfing Pikachu isn't explicitly available in the [[Generation III]] games, it can be obtained by evolving the surfing Pichu hatched from an egg received from depositing 1,499 Pokemon into [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, a surfing Pikachu can be found in {{pw|Yellow Forest}} through the use of the [[Pokéwalker]].
* Surfing Pikachu have been given out through {{pkmn2|event}} distributions.
* Players can obtain a Surfing Pikachu on [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] by beating the high score of "Big Boss" in [[Mantine Surf]]ing, making this the first time one can be obtained without an event or transferring from a side series game.
* Surfing Pikachu may be an inspiration for [[Alolan]] {{p|Raichu}}, which surfs on its tail, riding electrical currents.
* Surfing Pikachu likely inspired the [[Sea Skim]] technique usable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pikachu can learn Surf via [[TR04]].

====Side series====
{{Incomplete|section|Clarify info on {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Stadium 2}}}}
[[File:Surf PBR.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu using Surf in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
* If a Pikachu uses {{m|Surf}} in [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], or [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], it will wield a pink surfboard. All of these games have certain requirements to get Surfing Pikachu or at least get a player's Pikachu to learn Surf (except for Colosseum and XD)
** In the Japan-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn Surf.
** In the non-Japanese versions of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak, not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and ensures Pikachu participates in the final battle (the Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game), they will be able to teach that Pikachu Surf. This does not occur in the Japanese version of the game (this game is known as Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japanese).
** In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], after defeating Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] the player can download a Surfing Pikachu onto a {{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} game from the shop for free. It can be downloaded by multiple games, but no two Pikachu can be downloaded by a single card.
* All of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] know Surf.
* In [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], after 1499 Pokémon are stored the player will receive an Egg with a {{p|Pichu}} that knows {{m|ThunderShock}}, {{m|Charm}} and Surf. This Pichu, of course, can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Pikachu that knows Surf.

====Spin-off games====
[[File:Surfing Pikachu Snap.png|thumb|200px|Taking [[photography|a snapshot]] of surfing Pikachu in {{pkmn|Snap}}]]
* This Pikachu variant was later seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], appearing at [[Pokémon Island Beach|the Beach]].
* The surfing Pikachu was also featured in [[Pokémon Dash]] in special courses.
* The surfing Pikachu appeared in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]. By typing in a certain code, a green surfboard is unlocked, which can then be used by Pikachu so he can play [[Gyarados's Aqua Dash]].

Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

{{incomplete|section|Costumes since 2020}}
Several variants of Pikachu have appeared in Pokémon GO wearing different hats. These variants are released for limited events. During the events, all wild Pikachu appear as the variant and Pikachu appear more commonly. Pichu and Raichu also have parallel variants. Variant Pichu can be obtained by hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}} obtained during the event, and any variant Pichu or Pikachu that is evolved will retain its form.

* Holiday Pikachu: first released for the Holiday Season event, from December 12, 2016, to January 3, 2017. It appeared again the next year, from December 21, 2017, to January 4, 2018, with the special move {{m|Present}}, and once again the next year, from December 18, 2018 to January 2, 2019.
* Pikachu wearing a party hat: first released for the first Pokémon Day event, from February 26 to March 6, 2017. It appeared again the next year, from February 26 to 28, 2018, with the special move Present. It returned once more the following year for the third Anniversary event, from June 28 to July 6, 2019, this time exclusively through photobombs in the GO Snapshot feature.
* [[Ash's Pikachu#Pikachu in a cap|Pikachu wearing Ash's hat]]: first released for the first Anniversary event, from July 6 to 24, 2017. It appeared again for the second April Fools' Day event nearly two years later, from April 1 to 2, 2019, this time exclusively through photobombs in the GO Snapshot feature.
* Pikachu wearing a witch's hat: first released for the second Halloween event, from October 20 to November 2, 2017. It appeared again the next year, from October 23 to November 7, 2018.
* Summer Style Pikachu: first released for the second Anniversary event, from July 6 to 31, 2018.
* H.F. cap Pikachu: first released for the H.F. Custom Tie-In event, from October 5 to 7, 2018.
* Pikachu wearing a flower crown: first released for the third Pokémon Day event, from February 26 to 28, 2019.
* Pikachu wearing a detective hat: first released for the ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' tie-in event, from May 7 to 17, 2019, exclusively through photobombs in the GO Snapshot feature. While this Pikachu can evolve into Raichu, unlike the other variants, no equivalent Pichu exists.
* Pikachu wearing a straw hat: first released for the ''{{wp|One Piece}}'' tie-in event, from July 22 to 29, 2019. This variant cannot evolve into Raichu and no equivalent Pichu exists.

Nuzlocke Challenge

2022-03-09T03:05:44Z

UnethicalVoxel: Yeah, I don't think the soul link is a notable enough variant to include, when stuff like the wedlocke or even genlocke are more popular. "A popular youtuber did a video on it" does not notability make.

[[File:Basic Nuzlocke rules.png|thumb|250px|The two basic Nuzlocke rules.]]
The '''Nuzlocke Challenge''' (commonly shortened to just "'''Nuzlocke'''") is a set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the [[Pokémon games]]. Many challengers feel that the rules also serve the purpose of encouraging the use of Pokémon the player would not normally choose and promoting closer bonds with the player's Pokémon. The rules are not an in-game function, but are self-imposed on the part of the player, and thus subject to variation.

The name of the challenge originates from the [http://www.nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name, which features a {{p|Nuzleaf}} resembling ''{{wp|Lost (TV series)|Lost}}'' character {{wp|John Locke (Lost)|John Locke}} as a recurring gag character.

==Rules==
===Basic rules===


The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
* Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead and must be {{pkmn2|released}}.
* The {{player}} may only catch the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered in each area, and none else. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a [[Double Battle]], the player is free to choose which of the two wild Pokémon they would like to catch but may only catch one of them. This restriction does not necessarily apply to Pokémon able to be captured during static encounters, nor to {{Shiny}} Pokémon.

===Near-universally used rules===
* The player may not voluntarily reset and reload the game whenever things go wrong. Being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless.
* The player must nickname all of their Pokémon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
* The player may put Pokémon that have fainted in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] permanently rather than releasing them.
* The player may only use Pokémon they have captured themselves, meaning Pokémon acquired through [[Trade|trading]], [[Mystery Gift]]s, etc., are prohibited. As for trading and retrading the same Pokémon (for the purpose of evolving a {{p|Graveler}}, for example), there is no firm consensus.
** As of [http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/11/ White: Hard-Mode Episode 3], it is implied that the player can accept Pokémon that are received freely from NPCs.

===Optional rules===
Though the above rules tend to stay consistent with all challengers, many optional variations and amendments to the rules have been created by players to further adjust difficulty. Many other rules exist other than those listed here; challengers adjust their personal rules according to their own preferences. Regardless of the optional rules being used, the run is considered a Nuzlocke Challenge as long as the two basic rules are still in place.

====Increased difficulty====
* The player's [[Starter Pokémon]] must be randomly chosen. A common system is if the last digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]] is 1-3, the player must choose the Grass-type starter; if it is 4-6, the Fire-type starter; if it is 7-9, the Water-type starter; if it is 0, free choice. Alternatively, use the Trainer ID {{wp|Modulo operation|modulo}} 3 for the same purposes.
* A [[Black out|black out/white out]] is considered to be a "game over," even if there are usable Pokémon left in the [[PC]], and the player must start over.
* The player may only catch the first Pokémon after each [[Gym]] battle instead of in each area.
* The player must use the same number of Pokémon as the opponent uses during a Gym battle or [[rival]] battle.
* The battle style must be changed to "set" in the options menu, meaning the player does not get the opportunity to switch out their Pokémon after an opponent's Pokémon faints.
* The player's [[Starter Pokémon]] must be released after the first wild Pokémon is caught.
* [[Potion]]s and [[Status condition healing item|status-healing items]] may not be used, so the player may only use [[Pokémon Center]]s for healing.
** Or, Pokémon Centers may not be used, meaning only Potions and items may be used for healing.
* The player is limited in their Pokémon Center visits to a certain number per town.
* [[Held item]]s may not be used.
* The number of [[Poké Ball]]s able to be purchased per [[Poké Mart]] is limited to a certain number.
* Poké Marts may not be used; the only items that may be used are those found in the overworld or given to the player by NPCs.
* [[Master Ball]]s may not be used.
* The player may not evolve their captured Pokémon, but evolved Pokémon may still be caught.
* ({{2v2|Black|White|2}} only) The difficulty must be set to [[Key System|Challenge Mode]], which increases the levels of opposing Trainers' Pokémon.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] may not be used.
* The player may not [[Escape|flee]] from battle.
** Alternatively, the player must flee whenever possible, in order to limit the amount of [[experience]] gained.
* The player may not use Pokémon above a certain [[level]] limit based on the level of the next [[Gym Leader]]/[[Elite Four]]/{{pkmn|Champion}}'s highest leveled Pokémon. What to do with Pokémon in a player's collection that surpass the level limit is up to the player.
* Poké Balls may not be used. Any Pokémon obtained must be either given to the player by an NPC or hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* The {{pkmn|Day Care}} may not be used.
* The [[Exp. Share]] may not be used. (This does not apply to {{2v2|Sword|Shield}} or {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, where the Exp. Share can't be disabled.)
* Quality-of-life features, such as [[Pokémon-Amie]], the [[DexNav]], or [[Super Training]], may not be used.
* Online resources (walkthroughs, guides, etc.) may not be used.
* Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may not be used.
* Any type of candy that helps level up the player's Pokémon (such as [[Rare Candy]] or Exp. Candy) may not be used.

====Decreased difficulty====
* The two basic rules are not in effect until the player has gained their first [[Poké Balls]] and thus the ability to catch Pokémon. For example, encounters starting from the {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}} that the player has to save [[Professor Birch]] from, up to when the player has the ability to catch Pokémon, are not counted. Likewise, in the games where the rival battle is immediately after obtaining the starter Pokémon, the "release or permanently box a Pokémon if it faints" rule is often not enforced at that time.
* Species/Dupes Clause: The "first wild Pokémon in each area" rule does not apply in an area until a species or evolution line is encountered that has not been caught yet. For example, if the player's first encounter in an area is with a {{p|Caterpie}} and they already own a Caterpie, {{p|Metapod}}, or {{p|Butterfree}}, it wouldn't count as their first encounter in that area. This is to allow for increased variety in a player's Pokémon collection.
** A limit may be set on how many times the player can apply the Species/Dupes Clause in an area. If this many duplicate Pokémon are encountered in an area, the Species/Dupes Clause is no longer applied for that area and the player has to settle for the next Pokémon they encounter, regardless of its species.
* The player may have a small number of "second chances" or revives of fallen team members.
* Shiny Clause: Shiny Pokémon do not need to be released if they faint, and can be caught regardless of whether or not an encounter has already been done in the area.
* Each Gym [[Badge]] may act as a checkpoint. If the player gets a game over, they may start over from when they got their previous Gym Badge.
* If the player has no Pokémon that can use a [[field move]] that is required to continue the game, they may catch another Pokémon that can learn the required field move. However, this Pokémon cannot be used in battle for any reason and must be released as soon as it is no longer needed or if the player catches another Pokémon that can use the same field move.
* The "first encounter only" rule is modified for within the [[Safari Zone]]. One encounter may be had for each area, or one encounter may be allowed for the entire Zone.
* Cheating devices (such as [[GameShark]]) may be used.

=="Wonderlocke" Variant==
This is a more unpredictable variant of the Nuzlocke Challenge. In this variant, any Pokémon caught must immediately be traded using [[Wonder Trade]] and the received Pokémon is used instead. Typically, this comes with a level restriction where if the received Pokémon is more than a certain number of levels higher than the original Pokémon, it must be traded again until an appropriate-level Pokémon is received.

==Trivia==
* So far in the original Nuzlocke Series, one starter of each type has been used: {{p|Treecko}} in Hoenn, {{p|Charmander}} in [[Kanto]], and {{p|Oshawott}} in the ongoing [[Unova]] challenge.
* The original Nuzlocke run, through [[Hoenn]], was a failure, due to the wipeout of the entire team and the loss during the Champion battle.

Hello, my name's Voxel! I'm a 19 year old Pokemon fan from New York City, and have been a fan of the series my entire life. I mostly add grammatical fixes, but occasionally do larger stuff as well. My 3DS Friend Code is 4871-8294-0858 and my Switch Friend Code is 7955-6796-5378. I also stole a lot of this userpage's formatting from TheMalevolentOne's userpage, so if they're reading this, thanks!

Good teams that I've used in the past:

Hello, my name's Voxel! I'm a 19 year old Pokemon fan from New York City, and have been a fan of the series my entire life. I mostly add grammatical fixes, but occasionally do larger stuff as well. My 3DS Friend Code is 4871-8294-0858 and my Switch Friend Code is 7955-6796-5378. I also stole a lot of this userpage's formatting from TheMalevolentOne's userpage, so if they're reading this, thanks!

Good teams that I've used in the past:

Action Replay

2022-03-03T01:48:26Z

UnethicalVoxel:

[[File:Action Replay DSi.jpg|175px|thumb|Action Replay DSi]]
The '''Action Replay''' is a hexadecimal-based [[cheating]] device brand made by {{wp|Datel}} that is used for games and systems of all kinds. It is not licensed or endorsed by any game or console manufacturer.

While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late '90s, it was actually a rebranded Action Replay. However, Interact, the company who distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, {{wp|Mad Catz}} bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name. There are currently three different models, the original DS version, the DSi version, and the more current version, the newly released 3DS version. All three versions are compatible with all [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games released for the Nintendo DS.

==Use and function==
Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system's hardware, Action Replay devices can change the gaming experience. The use of cheating devices to modify Pokémon games has been a popular practice since the games' release in the mid-nineties. Popular applications of the device include capturing unobtainable Pokémon, acquiring normally unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats.

Although Action Replay can be helpful, it is also known to freeze the game occasionally and to cause minor problems. Codes that simply allow users to change Pokémon, levels, or stats tend to be harmless, however, others like walk through walls or codes rewriting major events in the storyline may result in minor game glitches or corrupt the entire save file.

If one uses too many codes at once, the probability of freezing rises. If one encounters freezing, it is recommended to disable recently added codes before starting the game up again. Having fewer codes enabled decreases the likelihood of improperly set flags and coding, thus decreasing chances of freezing. When the user turns the game back on, the trigger which prepares the execution of the code may not cause the game to freeze, and if successful, the user will be able to resume play. If the user has used an Action Replay and wishes to play their game without the use of codes or to fix problems and glitches caused by the codes, they can restart their game file.

Incorrect codes may also cause [[Bad Egg|Bad Eggs]] to appear in the games.

Several examples of Action Replay codes include walk through walls, [[event]] codes, and [[Shiny Pokémon]] codes.

==Duo problem==
In 2005, Datel released a new device for use with both the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] called the {{wp|Action Replay Duo}} (also known as the Action Replay Max). This new device enabled users to modify GBA games like the ordinary Action Replay for GBA; however, it also had the ability to save DS games onto a computer using a USB cable. Using this method, users could backup and restore saved game files. However, the device does not recognize any Pokémon save data located in its slot, and has caused much outrage among fans for this reason. Despite numerous updates to the device, there has been no explanation given as to why the device ignores Pokémon games.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Parody legendaries.png|right|thumb|75px|The Groudon and Kyogre parodies]]
*Newer DS Action Replay packages have miscolored Pokémon featured on them. These include {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Hippopotas}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme. It's possible they are intentionally miscolored to avoid lawsuits from Nintendo regarding plagiarism.
**Also, in an Action Replay package that was released around the time of Ruby and Sapphire, a parody of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} took up most of the package. Groudon appeared as a small, red lizard and Kyogre as a small blue whale with a white belly.

Game cartridge

2022-03-03T01:08:56Z

UnethicalVoxel:

A '''ROM cartridge''', also simply referred to as a '''cartridge''' or '''cart''', is the storage device in which many of the [[Pokémon games]] have been contained.

Throughout the Pokémon game series, all of the [[core series]] games have been stored on ROM cartridges, with many variances between them. Many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side games]] have also been on cartridge but some have been for the [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] (on discs, not cartridges). The ROM cartridges for the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and [[Nintendo 64]] are officially called '''Game Paks''', while [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] ROM cartridges are officially called '''Game Cards'''.

==Specifications==
* [[Game Boy]]: 2.125 × 2.5 inches.
* [[Game Boy Color]]: 2.125 × 2.5 inches.
* [[Game Boy Advance]]: 2.125 × 1.375 inches.
* [[Nintendo DS]]: 1.25 × 1.375 inches.
* [[Nintendo 3DS]]: 1.25 × 1.375 inches. ''(Not counting anti-DS knob on side)''
* [[Nintendo Switch]]: 1.25 × 0.8125 inches.
* [[Nintendo 64]]: 4.5 × 3 inches. ''(Measured from top of arch)''

==Core series==
All [[core series]] games are contained on cartridges.

'''Ash's Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi's Gekkouga'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]]. It then learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Froakie first saw Ash when he was kicked out of the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It continued to observe the group until {{TRT}} intervened in Ash and {{an|Clemont}}'s friendly Pokémon battle. It volunteered to help out by successfully using its Frubbles to counter [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], but ended up receiving quite a bit of damage during the encounter.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash decided to take Froakie to Sycamore's lab, where it was treated and restored to full health. Asking about its Trainer, Ash was informed, by Sycamore, that its Trainer had called to give Froakie back.

Later on, Team Rocket attempted to use a ring-type device against Froakie, but the lab's resident {{p|Garchomp}} got caught in it instead, causing her to go on a rampage after the machine malfunctioned. Ash, along with Froakie and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, headed out to rescue Garchomp. In order to prevent her from falling down the Prism Tower, Froakie used its Frubbles on Garchomp's feet, and Pikachu broke the device using {{m|Iron Tail}}.

While leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory the next day, Froakie threw a chunk of its Frubbles in Ash's face in order to get his attention. It motioned to a {{i|Poké Ball}} lying on the ground in front of it, expressing its desire to join his party. When Ash approved, Froakie happily pressed the Poké Ball's button and was {{pkmn2|caught}}.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Froakie past.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's previous Trainers]]
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Froakie was introduced to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who was fascinated by the Bubble Frog Pokémon. For most of the subsequent trip on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, Froakie was seen outside of its Poké Ball. After a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} took a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was going to give to a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, Froakie stubbornly attempted to fight Fletchling, only to lose. After Ash learned that it was only trying to get payback at Fletchling for making Bonnie sad, he and Froakie challenged Fletchling to one final battle by climbing the rocks to match Fletchling's speed. Although Fletchling escaped from Ash's Poké Ball once, Froakie later defeated it, which ended in both its defeat and catch.

In ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Froakie battled {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}}'s {{p|Sylveon}} and was about to finish Sylveon off when it was infatuated with {{m|Attract}} and defeated with a {{m|Draining Kiss}}. As the group arrived at the kindergarten where Penelope worked, Froakie was left embarrassed by its loss and stood alone while the other Pokémon played with the kindergartners. When Team Rocket appeared and stole Pikachu and Sylveon, Froakie and [[Randall]], one of the children, were accidentally trapped in Team Rocket's truck during the chaos. Later, when Ash entered the truck, the three worked together to break the glass containers holding Pikachu and Sylveon, helping Randall get over his fear for Pokémon in the process. Froakie and Pikachu then defeated Team Rocket, blasting them off. Afterwards, Froakie and Randall gave each other a fist bump as a sign of their new friendship, before the group said goodbye to everyone at the kindergarten.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', Froakie battled [[Sanpei's Frogadier]]. During the battle, Frogadier used {{m|Quick Attack}} and was able to defeat Froakie, who was unable to keep up with Frogadier's moves despite its stubbornness about winning the battler. Impressed by Frogadier's Quick Attack, Ash wanted to teach it to Froakie with the help of [[Sanpei]]. However, despite lots of training, Froakie still wasn't able to perfect Quick Attack. Suddenly, Team Rocket attacked the group and caught Pikachu and Frogadier. Thanks to its training, Froakie managed to learn {{m|Double Team}} and used it to free Pikachu and Frogadier. Working with Frogadier, they both used Water Pulse to blast Team Rocket off.

In ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', Froakie, in order to save itself and a {{p|Skrelp}} from a whirlpool, jumped on boxes and debris to escape from the whirlpool and reach safety. This gave Ash the idea for the Rock Tomb Climb. In [[XY025|the next episode]], Ash used Froakie as his first Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] Battle against [[Grant]]. Froakie went up against his {{p|Onix}}. During the battle, Onix used its signature move {{m|Rock Tomb}}, but Froakie used this opportunity to perform Rock Tomb Climb by climbing on the falling rocks. After reaching the top, Froakie used Water Pulse, which dealt major damage to Onix. After narrowly dodging an Iron Tail, it climbed up Onix's large body and defeated it with Water Pulse. It then went up against Grant's last Pokémon, {{p|Tyrunt}}, during which Froakie performed Rock Tomb Climb again. However, Tyrunt jumped high and used {{m|Draco Meteor}}, knocking Froakie out.

In ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]'', Froakie was used to battle a wild {{AP|Hawlucha}} Ash had befriended. After an exchange of multiple attacks, Hawlucha used {{m|Flying Press}}, but Froakie countered with Pound at the last minute, causing a collision that knocked out both Pokémon and ended the battle in a draw. Later, Froakie was seen when Ash caught Hawlucha. It would later have a conflict with Hawlucha in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''. In the wake of learning {{m|Cut}}, Ash and Clemont decided to have a battle in which Froakie and Hawlucha battled against {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash commanded Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} to counter Bunnelby's {{m|Mud Shot}}, but Froakie used Water Pulse on Bunnelby instead. This angered Hawlucha, who wanted to hit Bunnelby. The dispute later escalated, requiring them to be separated by Ash. In an attempt to defuse the tension, Ash decided to train the two in using a new move called "Super Flying Cut". During the training, Ash was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Trevenant}}, and both Froakie and Hawlucha got separated from the rest of the group in the process. After finding [[Ash's hat]], the two resolved their differences and sought to find their Trainer. After finding him, they battled Team Rocket, overcoming their Pokémon with their new special move and blasting them off. Froakie and Hawlucha then gave each other a fist bump, solidifying their new friendship.

In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Coumarine Gym]] Battle against [[Ramos]]. Despite being at a type disadvantage, it went up against {{p|Weepinbell}}, which had already defeated Fletchinder and Hawlucha. Frogadier was eventually able to defeat the Flycatcher Pokémon with Aerial Ace, which overcame and destroyed its {{m|Grass Knot}}. It then went up against Ramos's last Pokémon, his {{p|Gogoat}}. During the battle, Gogoat used {{m|Leech Seed}} on Frogadier, trapping it while draining Frogadier's health. Gogoat then used {{m|Razor Leaf}}, circling around Frogadier while launching leaves at it. As a result, neither Ash nor Frogadier were able to see Gogoat. Then, Ash remembered the advice that Ramos gave him; that getting flustered would only make matters worse, and that if he kept a level head he'd be able to see the important things. With the advice in mind, Ash had Frogadier listen for the sounds of Gogoat's movements. After getting hit by multiple leaves, it finally managed to sense Gogoat, cut through the Razor Leaf, and did major damage with Aerial Ace before using Double Team. Though the Mount Pokémon took out the copies with Vine Whip, this gave Frogadier an opening. It hit Gogoat with Water Pulse and knocked it out, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Plant}}.

[[File:Ash Greninja Sawyer Sceptile.png|thumb|250px|Its rivalry with Sawyer's Sceptile]]
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', Ash used Frogadier and Hawlucha for his [[Double Battle]] against [[Sawyer]]. They went up against [[Sawyer's Treecko]] and {{p|Bagon}} and won. However, before Ash and Sawyer could continue their battle, but they were interrupted by the commotion caused by [[Valerie]]'s Fashion Show. Later, in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third Pokémon in his three-versus-three battle against Sawyer. It went up against {{p|Treecko}}, despite the type disadvantage. During the battle, Treecko suddenly evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}, learning {{m|Leaf Blade}} in the process. Despite this development, however, Frogadier took advantage of smoke, created by the collision of its Water Pulse and Grovyle's Bullet Seed, to get into the air and attack Grovyle with Water Pulse from behind, defeating the Wood Gecko Pokémon. After the battle, both Frogadier and Grovyle were impressed with the other's abilities and developed a rivalry with each other.

In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', Frogadier's past was revealed by [[Olympia]], who also predicted it would gain a great power. In [[XY093|the next episode]], Frogadier was used along with Talonflame in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the Anistar Gym. The two initially had a difficult time dodging their opponents' moves thanks to their {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}} and the female Meowstic's Ability {{a|Keen Eye}}. However, Ash came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. During an exchange of attacks, Frogadier was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by the female Meowstic's {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Eventually, it and Talonflame charged at the Meowstic and managed to grab onto them. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. As Talonflame knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, Frogadier prepared to defeat the male with Water Pulse. Despite initial difficulties its paralysis, Frogadier managed to overpower the male Meowstic's Psyshock, thanks to Ash's words of encouragement, and knocked Meowstic out. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', Frogadier was seen training with Ash. It then met up with Sanpei and his Greninja again; they took the group to their hometown, the [[Ninja Village]]. Frogadier watched the battle between Sanpei's Greninja and [[Nihei]]'s {{p|Venusaur}} with great interest and was shocked when Greninja was defeated. It then followed Ash and his friends and saw the shrine dedicated to the Hero Greninja. When the village was attacked, Frogadier and Ash, along with Sanpei and Greninja, chased after the kidnappers of {{kal|Hanzo}}, the village elder, but were confronted by [[Heidayu]] and his {{p|Bisharp}}.

In [[XY100|the next episode]], Frogadier, along with Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja, began to battle Heidayu's Bisharp. Bisharp easily overcame their combined efforts, but it was defeated due to the intervention of Saizo and his Barbaracle. Later, Frogadier joined Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja in a rematch with Bisharp, but they still struggled against the Sword Blade Pokémon. While the three Pokémon struggled to stand after being subjected to Bisharp's {{m|Snarl}}, Heidayu ordered Bisharp to finish Pikachu off with Shadow Claw. At the last moment, Frogadier got up and jumped in front of Pikachu to protect him, causing it to evolve into Greninja and learn {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Following its evolution, Greninja was matched with Bisharp due to its new powerful attack. Hearing Ash's words of encouragement, Greninja mysteriously transformed into a new form that would later be known as Ash-Greninja. With its new power, Greninja knocked Bisharp out with a powerful Cut. Afterwards, the torrent of water surrounding it dissipated and Greninja reverted to its normal form, leaving Ash confused over what just happened. After the Ninja Army was defeated, Greninja bade Sanpei and his Greninja farewell as Ash and his friends left the village.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Greninja was used by Ash to retrieve [[Squishy]], who was captured by Team Rocket at the time. Greninja quickly retrieved it and returned it to Bonnie. After Squishy defeated [[Team Flare]]'s Pokémon and ran away, Greninja battled [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Manectric}} and [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}}, who chased after Squishy. During the battle, it transformed into its Ash-Greninja form and easily beat Manectric and Liepard back with its great speed and power, forcing Team Flare to retreat. During the battle, it was shown that Ash and Greninja share each other's pain and exhaustion while Greninja was in its Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, Greninja and Ash fell to their knees in exhaustion.

[[File:Ash and Greninja.png|thumb|left|250px|Greninja and Ash]]
In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Greninja was first used to battle Sawyer's Sceptile. It was eventually able to defeat Sceptile with Aerial Ace upon transforming into Ash-Greninja. Its transformation was noticed by [[Alain]], who was passing by. The next day, Alain requested a battle with Greninja, and Ash agreed. During the battle between Greninja and [[Alain's Charizard]], Charizard [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], while Greninja again evolved into Ash-Greninja. In the end, Charizard was able to defeat Greninja with {{m|Blast Burn}}.

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Clemont developed an invention that would monitor Ash and Greninja's pulse so the group would know more about Greninja's transformation ability. Greninja was sent out to spar with [[Clemont's Luxray]] to try and trigger the transformation. Despite multiple attacks being exchanged, the battle was eventually called off since both Pokémon became tired and Greninja's transformation still hadn't taken place. After Alain showed up, he and Ash agreed to have a rematch, with Greninja battling Alain's Charizard once more. During the battle, Charizard Mega Evolved and managed to hit Greninja with a powerful Thunder Punch. This triggered its transformation into Ash-Greninja, and it was able to match Charizard in combat with its increased power. However, the battle was called off when Ash collapsed from exhaustion. When Ash regained consciousness, he realized that he and Greninja would have to be more careful in using the transformation. Thus, he vowed to train harder in order to perfect it.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Ash and his friends met up with [[Diantha]], who battled Ash and Greninja with {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} after hearing of the latter's special power. Eventually, Greninja and Ash reached the point where they could transform into Ash-Greninja. Diantha was impressed by its special form, as Greninja started to gain the upper hand. It was able to keep up with Gardevoir's speed and strike it. Diantha finally had Gardevoir Mega Evolve and repel Greninja's attacks. With their power matched, Ash and Greninja reached Ash-Greninja's final form, and the water veil that surrounded Greninja turned into a massive, back-mounted shuriken, much to everyone's shock. Greninja then attacked with its new Water Shuriken, which proved to be stronger against Gardevoir's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, before the battle could progress any further, both Greninja and Ash passed out again from exhaustion. As a result, Gardevoir had to fend off Team Rocket while the two regained consciousness. Greninja and Ash soon recovered, and vowed to fully master their newfound transformation.

[[File:Ash Greninja Lumiose Conference.png|thumb|250px|As Ash-Greninja in the Lumiose Conference]]
From ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'' to ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash and Greninja faced a major personal crisis in being able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Ash first started having doubts of himself after Greninja lost to Sawyer's Sceptile during their three-on-three battle, having been unable to transform. [[XY120|Later on]], Ash and Greninja finally managed to activate the form during the Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], but despite that, Greninja still lost due to being frozen by {{p|Avalugg}}'s attacks. Blaming himself for their loss, Ash decided to leave Greninja at the [[Pokémon Center]] and walked off into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone. It [[XY121|the following episode]], Greninja left to look for Ash. With Squishy's help, they reunited during a blizzard and worked together to save a bunch of {{p|Spewpa}} that were trapped on a tree branch hanging above a cliff. As a result, they were able to get their feelings in sync, and Greninja was able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, Ash and Greninja, along with some forest Pokémon, sought shelter in a cave, where the two promised to start over again. Later on, they reunited with the group and returned to the Pokémon Center. There, Greninja showed Ash its Poké Ball and rolled it over to him, just like the time when it was first caught, signifying their resolve to start over again.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon during the rematch against Wulfric, and it battled his {{p|Abomasnow}} this time, despite having a severe type disadvantage. During the battle, Greninja proved to hold its own against Abomasnow. As a result, Wulfric revealed his [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Abomasnow. Against Mega Abomasnow, Greninja had a much harder time, but after an exchange of attacks, it eventually finished Abomasnow off with a powerful Aerial Ace. This gave Ash the win and earning him his final [[Kalos]] Badge, the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Ash used Greninja in the first round of the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it faced [[Titus]]'s {{p|Altaria}}. Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja during the battle, shocking the spectators, and defeated Altaria with a single Water Shuriken. In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Greninja was used as Ash's final Pokémon in the semifinals. It faced off against Sawyer's Sceptile again, during which both Pokémon transformed into their more powerful forms. Despite Sceptile's attempts to corner Greninja with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, Greninja was able to dodge every single Frenzy Plant and slice through them using Cut, thanks to its shared senses with Ash and its full trust in him. Greninja fired a massive Water Shuriken while Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, triggering a large explosion. After the smoke cleared, only Greninja remained standing, giving Ash the win and allowing him to advance to the finals.

In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon used in the finals against Alain. After defeating Alain's Bisharp, it faced off against Charizard. After several exchanges of attacks, Ash and Alain had their Pokémon use Water Shuriken and Blast Burn, respectively. As Greninja unleashed all of its power into the attack, its Shuriken grew to massive size and changed to a fiery red-orange color. Both Pokémon then fired off their attacks, with both scoring a direct hit on their opponent. Although initially both Pokémon were still standing, Greninja wasn't able to take the damage and soon fainted, causing Alain to win the Lumiose Conference.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Greninja, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]], who intended to use their [[Bond Phenomenon]] for his plans. In [[XY133|the next episode]], it and Ash were hit by a miniature version of the Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray, designed to control them, but they broke free using Bond Phenomenon. After Alain's Charizard broke Ash's other Pokémon free, Greninja, along with everyone else, battled [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}}. [[XY134|Later on]], Pyroar, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Goodra were defeated; and [[Malva]] appeared and decided to fight alongside Ash and Alain.

The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', when Greninja and Charizard hit Gyarados with a respective Cut and Dragon Claw, allowing Pikachu to finish the Atrocious Pokémon off with a Thunderbolt. Greninja later helped [[Serena's Braixen]], [[Steven's Metagross]], and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. Greninja managed to sense [[Chespie]]'s location inside the Giant Rock and managed to throw a Water Shuriken into its body, marking the location. It, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the Giant Rock's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Kalos Gym Leaders and Diantha. After coming up with a strategy, everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save Chespie, bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Greninja, Pikachu, and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Greninja detected the presence of one of the Giant Rock's remaining roots. After transforming into Ash-Greninja, it was able to see the root's underground source and used {{m|Water Shuriken}} on it, causing the root to wither away. After [[Xerosic]] revealed his plans to create Neo-[[Team Flare]] and kidnapped {{an|Clemont}}, Ash sent Greninja to follow him. It helped Ash and his friends defeat Xerosic in battle, leading to Xerosic's arrest. However, parts of the Giant Rock still remained. After [[Squishy]] appeared and saved {{an|Bonnie}} from another root, it led Greninja and the group to [[Z2]], who requested Greninja to help it and Squishy detect and destroy all of the Giant Rock's remnants. Greninja accepted Z2's request and bid farewell to Ash and his friends. In [[XY140|the following episode]], Greninja was seen destroying a root, with Squishy and Z2 watching nearby.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Froakie, it was a stubborn, picky Pokémon, displayed by the fact that it had several other Trainers that it refused to listen to, either forcing them to return it to Professor Sycamore or abandoning them and returning to the lab itself. It is also extremely similar to Ash personality wise, as it is not afraid to leap into danger regardless of its own safety and doesn't back down from a fight. It is clear that it recognizes these traits in Ash, hence why it was finally willing to accept being taken into Ash's wing. It also has a sense of honor, as demonstrated when it attacked {{AP|Fletchling}} just because it made {{an|Bonnie}} cry. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', it is shown to have a good judgment of character, as it became suspicious of Meowth when he pretended to side with it, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} under a temporary truce. Froakie is prone to blushing when praised, as shown when being thanked by Bonnie in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''. As shown in ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Greninja as a Froakie gets embarrassed when losing in a bad way, such as when it lost because of Attract.

[[File:Ash-Greninja water veil.png|thumb|250px|Covered in a water veil as Ash-Greninja]]
Since evolving into a Frogadier, its personality remained largely the same. It is still shown to be loyal to Ash, as shown when it hugged him after its victory in the Coumarine City Gym battle. Greninja is a responsible Pokémon that can take initiative to protect its friends and allies. In ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', it volunteered to scout ahead to protect {{an|Serena}} and Chespin after they had gotten separated from the group. Greninja also appears to be good with younger Pokémon and children. As a Froakie, in addition to challenging Fletchling for making Bonnie cry, it was able to befriend the timid [[Randall]] during one of {{TRT}}'s schemes. As a Frogadier, it can be seen looking after {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' while Ash and his friends were preparing gifts for their Pokémon. Greninja also seems to care deeply for its friends and would go to great lengths to keep them safe from danger, as seen when it acted as bodyguard for Serena and Chespin in ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', and protected the two from a wild {{p|Pangoro}}.

Greninja seems to appreciate and respect bravery and selflessness, and as such, aims to be so itself. This is first shown when it took a hit for Pikachu during Team Rocket's attack despite not knowing Pikachu or his Trainer, and then proceeded to help them both in combat. It respects those with these traits, as it does Ash. Greninja was impressed and surprised by Ash's willingness to put himself in danger to help a Garchomp that wasn't his Pokémon and barely knew, and admired this show of self-sacrifice and selflessness to the point Greninja as a Froakie went alongside Ash to face Garchomp. It also showed genuine concern for Ash's safety when Ash jumped off the Prism Tower. A lack of these traits in its previous Trainers may be what caused Greninja to leave them.

Greninja has been shown to enjoy battling, and seems to enjoy the opportunity to fight a strong opponent. Once recognizing Sawyer's Grovyle's strength, it developed a rivalry with it. It also seems to relish at both the thought, and the action of defeating a strong opponent, as seen when it grinned before fighting Sawyer's Grovyle, and defeating Grant's Onix.

Greninja's close bond with Ash was also one of his greatest insecurities, as their repeated failure to master the Ash-Greninja form started to weigh heavily on trainer and Pokémon alike. When Ash left Greninja in the Pokémon center after the loss to Wulfric, out of a sense of guilt for Greninja's injuries, a saddened Greninja gave chase as soon as he recovered. It was revealed Greninja also felt responsible for their loss. After fully synchronizing their feelings to save a Spewpa, however, Ash explained to Greninja why he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer, and that he saw his Pokémon as his closest friends. After that, Greninja and Ash came to fully understand each other.

===Ash-Greninja===
Shortly after evolving into Greninja, through its strong bond with Ash, it can call upon a transformation similar to [[Mega Evolution]], where it takes on an appearance resembling its Trainer while being covered in a water veil. In its final form, the water veil moves from around its body to its back and forms an "X" shape, which resemble wings, then the wings form into a small sphere shape of water on the middle of its back with a light blue ring in the middle of it and it then grows in size until it forms into a giant shuriken made of water. Its full capabilities were unknown, but it appears to give a significant boost in speed and power. In its completed form, it can rival the power of Mega Evolved Pokémon.

This form comes with a side-effect: whenever Greninja takes damage, the pain is shared with Ash in the same location where Greninja was hurt. Ash is also shown to be able to see from Greninja's point of view and will occasionally mimic Greninja's movements. Ash describes it as feeling like he "became" Greninja. It is revealed by Clemont's device that Ash and Greninja share exactly the same heartbeat while Greninja is in the form and that the form can be accessed when Ash and Greninja's feelings synchronize. If the form is pushed too hard, it is possible for Ash to pass out from the resulting exhaustion and pain.

The term '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi-Gekkouga'') was officially coined by Bonnie in ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]''. During the [[XY121|next episode]], Ash and Greninja made amends and were able to trigger the transformation at will. [[XY122|By the time of their rematch against Wulfric]], Ash and Greninja were able to use the form without passing out, and although they still shared each other's pain, it seemed to be more manageable for Ash to handle. [[XY129|During the Lumiose Conference]], it is soon revealed by Professor Sycamore that the transformation Greninja had been going through is known as [[Bond Phenomenon]].

During the battle, Ash knew Froakie would be going up against the Gym Leader's {{p|Onix}} and its powerful {{m|Rock Tomb}}. To that end, Ash taught Froakie how to jump on the projectiles for momentum and use them to get close to Onix for powerful hits. Ash dubbed this technique 'Rock Tomb Climb'. This was inspired by events from ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''.

Froakie gets on Hawlucha's back, and Hawlucha starts flying. Froakie would jump off of Hawlucha, and use {{m|Cut}} on the target. Then Hawlucha would come down and hit the same target, resulting in major damage. This was mastered during the battle with {{TRT}}, resulting in their defeat.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
Ash's Greninja is featured in the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In it, {{ga|Elio}}, the [[player character]], is given a Greninja with Ash as his [[Original Trainer]] to take care of, met by Ash on [[XY002|October 17, 2013]] at level 5 in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. It has Hardy [[nature]], 31 {{IV}} in Attack, Special Attack, Speed and 20 {{IV}} in HP, Defense, Special Defense, 2 {{EV}}s in HP, 128 EVs in Attack, 128 EVs in Special Attack, and 252 EVs in Speed. Completing the demo allows the player to transfer the Greninja to the full game, which resets its nature while keeping its IVs and EVs the same.

Like in the anime, this Greninja can transform into {{form|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by defeating a Pokémon in a battle with two or more Pokémon, activating its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}. Internally, Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Here Comes Ash Greninja 3DS theme.png|thumb|200px|A [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]] featuring Ash-Greninja]]
* Greninja's capture as a Froakie marks the first time that Ash catches a [[starter Pokémon]] as his first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a [[region]].
** Greninja is also the first of Ash's first regional catches that is not a {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type since {{AP|Heracross}}, as well as the only one that is incapable of flying.
* Greninja is Ash's first Pokémon to be owned by more than one Trainer before him.
* In the dub of ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Ash implied that Greninja is male by calling it a "he".
* Greninja is the first {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to have ever [[Evolution|evolved]] under Ash's ownership.
** Greninja is also the first fully evolved Water-type starter Pokémon owned by a main character.
** As a Froakie, Greninja was also Ash's first Water-type to evolve under his ownership since ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', 776 episodes earlier, when {{p|Krabby}} evolved into {{AP|Kingler}}.
** Greninja is also Ash's first Water-type to have evolved twice.
* Greninja is the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to have its Egg revealed on-screen.
* Greninja is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]].
* In the original Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Frogadier, as a Froakie in a dream, spoke in archaic Japanese, a trope common among ninjas in modern Japanese fiction.
* When Greninja evolved from Frogadier in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', it evolved in a similar situation to when it evolved from Froakie in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sanpei]]'s Greninja already hurt by the enemy and were laying down in defeat.
** The episode in which Frogadier evolved into Greninja aired in Japan almost exactly a year after the episode in which it evolved from Froakie to Frogadier (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).
* Greninja is Ash's first starter Pokémon that he has {{pkmn2|released}}.
* Ash's Greninja was featured in a [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]].
* Greninja has been on Ash’s [[party|team]] for 137 episodes, the longest out of his released Pokémon.

'''Archer''' (Japanese: '''アポロ''' ''Apollo'') is a [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}} introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. At that time, all three male Executives were not easily distinguishable, and Archer was not given a name and visual design to distinguish him from [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]] until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==
An unnamed male {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admin}} that may be Archer appeared in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. He is the leader of the [[Sevii Islands]] branch of Team Rocket, and accuses the player of spreading rumors that Team Rocket has disbanded, something he does not believe. When the player defeats him, he recognizes the {{badge|Earth}} and accepts that Giovanni has been defeated, finally disbanding [[Team Rocket]], but he [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|vows to find him and resurrect Team Rocket someday]]. The computer he was working on mentions [[Red Gyarados|the effect of radio waves on Pokémon evolution]], foreshadowing Team Rocket's later actions.

[[Generation II|Three years later]], Archer is the interim head of Team Rocket during the absence of [[Giovanni]]. He leads the team in its takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], aiming to locate his missing leader and bring him back to the team. After being defeated, he disbands the organization again and disappears.

Archer appears in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] as Giovanni's trusted confidant and deputy. He is first seen in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], meeting with Giovanni regarding his studying of the [[Silph Scope]]. Though Giovanni dismisses the Silph Scope itself as a toy, he agrees with Archer's assessment that it proves [[Silph Co.]] can provide technology useful to Team Rocket and gives Archer the assignment to plan Team Rocket's attack on the company. As he leaves Giovanni's office, he comes across the player, and battles them to keep them from reaching Giovanni. After his defeat, he allows the player to pass. He later appears during Team Rocket's invasion of Silph, where he battles the player and {{ga|Trace}} with the assistance of a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt}}. Despite his initial failure to stop the player and Trace, he returns soon after with the intent of wasting as much of their time as he can. Trace decides to battle Archer so that the player may reach Giovanni.

Later, following the disbandment of Team Rocket, Archer can be found in Giovanni's office in the Team Rocket Hideout. He challenges the player to one last battle out of anger for their defeat of Giovanni. Following his defeat, he reveals that he expected the player to show up eventually and drafted a letter to them, in which he congratulates the player for becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} and declares his intent to leave [[Kanto]] to found a stronger incarnation of Team Rocket somewhere else before announcing the organization's return. Archer questions himself regarding what he wanted the player to think of him, then tears up the letter and leaves, bidding the player farewell.

Archer also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He is the final member of a group of Team Rocket members who bar the player's progress to the [[Mahogany Gym]] after they've defeated [[Jasmine]]. In Round 1, his team has no clear theme, but in Round 2, most of his Pokémon know {{m|Swagger}}. He also appears in the [[Challenge Cup]] during Round 2, taking part in the Poké Ball and Ultra Ball divisions of the tournament.

===Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===
Archer briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]] as part of a team with {{mas|Giovanni}} and [[Ariana]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Carl.png|thumb|left|120px|Carl in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Archer Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Archer in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Carl}}
Archer's first counterpart was based on his [[Generation II]] design and named Carl. Although [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]] use the same design in Generation II, Carl owns three Houndoom which is the signature Pokémon of Archer. He appeared in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.

After the creation of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a second counterpart with Archer's new official name and design appears alongside the other three Executives as their leader. He, along with his teammates, take control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to {{adv|Giovanni}}'s intentions.

While the other three have their tasks related to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Arceus}}, Archer's task is the capture of the Pokémon itself. Archer, Petrel, and Proton arrive to see Ariana having defeated {{adv|Crystal}} on Route 38. Suddenly, Arceus appears in front of them, and Crystal attempts to capture it, shocking the Generals in the process. Despite her tenacity, Crystal ultimately fails in capturing the Pokémon and is sent flying into a tree.

The Generals chase Arceus down and find it battling {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Once Arceus uses its powers and transports them all to the Sinjoh Ruins, the four Generals restrain Arceus and force it onto the Mystri Stage. Archer takes control of Arceus, and uses the [[Plate]]s to demonstrate its great and varied abilities to Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Archer forces Arceus to use its great powers to create the legendary Pokémon {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}}.

Believing he has pleased his boss, Giovanni, Archer starts breaking down into tears. However, his joy is quickly destroyed when Silver flies off to distract the Generals while Gold and Crystal finish off the three Pokémon Arceus created. Having done so, Arceus, now freed from its restraints, uses its powers to send Archer and the other Generals flying and completes itself by absorbing the Plates. Much to the shock of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the clones begin reforming, to which Archer reveals that because the creation process started, it cannot be stopped. Archer snaps, and begins claiming that everything is destined; the creation of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, Arceus completing itself, the world becoming Team Rocket's, all destined. His insanity begins to scare his teammates.

When Giovanni returns, Archer is delighted to see that his plans worked and the person he considers the true boss of Team Rocket has returned. However, Archer becomes shocked when Giovanni starts to attack {{p|Giratina|the Pokémon that he worked so hard to create}}. Archer begs for Giovanni to stop, but Giovanni brushes him off. Outraged, Archer declares that Giovanni is not the man who he thought he was, and decides to capture Arceus and rule Team Rocket himself. Having lost his mind, Archer runs towards the stage to capture Arceus, only to be easily kicked away. He lands on Petrel and is knocked unconscious. After the battle had ended, Giovanni has Archer carried away and states that he will be given punishment later on.

==Trivia==
* Archer's design in [[Generation IV]] is based upon the original sprite of all male {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}} from [[Generation II]]. The other two male Executives (now known as [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]]) were given entirely new designs. Similarly, [[Ariana]]'s design is based on the original female Executive sprite, being the only female Executive in Johto.
* Before Archer's name and identity were revealed in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] had adapted the original male Executive as [[Carl]] and {{OBP|Grey|Golden Boys}}, respectively. Having similar roles to Archer and owning a {{p|Houndour}}, they should be considered as his [[cross-canon counterpart]].
* Considering [[Saturn]] is left with the assets of [[Team Galactic]] in [[Cyrus]]'s absence, Archer could be seen as his parallel, as he controls Team Rocket in [[Giovanni]]'s absence.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], despite not being a [[Gym Leader]], Archer uses the [[Johto]] Gym Leader theme when he's battled.

List of serial code event Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)

2021-10-27T08:38:21Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Shiny Hero duo */ Changed future tense to past tense, as editing it to present tense and then later updating it to past tense seems like a waste of time. If this is a bad decision, just revert it.

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via [[serial code]]s to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]].

Unlike serial codes in the previous games, serial code events in these games are region-free and can be used regardless of the game or console's region or language, provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code. An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.

==List of event Pokémon==
===Pokémon Center Birthday Happiny===
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2021/10/211022_p01.html This] Happiny is to be distributed via [[serial code]] to players of all {{g|Sword and Shield}} games at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores across Japan, if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch. The codes will be distributed from November 1, 2020 to an as of yet unknown date. In addition, players can use these codes in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} after their respective launches. Each player only gets one code, and that code can only be used on one game.

These {{Shiny}} Pokémon were distributed for players of various countries who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations.

In Asia, the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes could be redeemed until November 25, 2021.

In Europe, the codes were distributed from October 22 to November 18, 2021. The codes could be redeemed until December 31, 2021, February 12, 2022 or February 22, 2022 depending on the country.

In the United States, Shiny {{p|Zacian}} was distributed from October 22 to November 11. In Canada, it was distributed from October 22 to November 4. Meanwhile, Shiny {{p|Zamazenta}} was distributed from November 12 to 26 in the United States, and November 5 to 18 in Canada. The codes could redeemed until January 31, 2022.

In South Korea, the codes were given away by pre-ordering {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, or the Double Pack of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The codes could be redeemed from November 19 to December 31, 2021.

Players of Pokémon Sword can receive Shiny Zamazenta, while players of Pokémon Shield can receive Shiny Zacian. In South Korea, players can redeem both in the same game. Both have perfect 31 {{IV}}s in all stats except Special Attack, which is instead 30.

(Korean: 포켓몬 어드벤처, 환상의 포켓몬을 잡아라!) campaign that ran from April 26 to September 30, 2021. Players could earn points by buying participating Pokémon merchandise, which could then be used to exchange for serial codes on the [http://adventure25.pokemonkorea.co.kr/ official website]. This was similar to the "Mythical Pokémon Get Challenge" that had previously run in Japan in 2020.

The number of points entered determined what type of serial code was received; one point resulted in a Genesect code, five resulted in ten Dynite Ores code, ten resulted in a Poké Ball Set 1 (Fast Ball, Level Ball, and Love Ball) code, 13 resulted in a Volcanion code, 16 resulted in ten Dynite Ores code, 20 resulted in a Poké Ball Set 2 (Moon Ball, Heavy Ball, Friend Ball, and Lure Ball) code, 23 resulted in a Marshadow code, 27 resulted in a Poké Ball Set 3 (Safari Ball and Sport Ball) code, and 30 points resulted in a Master Ball code.

[https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/tickets/point1.php These] [https://www.pokemon-movie.jp/tickets/point2.php Pokémon] were distributed to players who preordered tickets to the twenty-third movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

Celebi's distribution was originally due to begin on April 17, 2020, and Zarude's on June 15, 2020; due to the delay of the movie's release, both distributions instead began on August 7 and were redeemable until March 31, 2021. Multiple redemptions of these Pokémon are allowed on a single game, provided the player has preordered multiple tickets, and consequently, has multiple serial codes.

===Poké Ball Plus Mew===
Initially released with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the [[Poké Ball Plus]] comes programmed with an internal serial code to redeem this {{p|Mew}} that is compatible with Pokémon Sword and Shield. Despite being marketed as the Poké Ball Plus "containing" Mew, the serial code aspect means that to claim, the player must connect to the Internet through Mystery Gifts.

The serial code aspect also means that it is impossible for a single manufactured Poké Ball Plus to redeem more than one Mew, even if the Poké Ball Plus is later resold. Players that purchased multiple Poké Ball Pluses can redeem one Mew for each.

Mystery Gift

2021-09-11T22:30:48Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Pokémon Sword and Shield */

[[File:Mystery Gift SwSh.png|thumb|200px|Model of the Mystery Gift box from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}]]
'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}なおくりもの''' ''Mystery Gift'') is a system available in the [[core series]] games since [[Generation II]] that allows {{player}}s to receive exclusive [[item]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation II===
{{incomplete|section|Is it language-dependent? Japanese-Korean, Japanese-international, and Korean-international linking is impossible but Western localizations are compatible with each other in Generations I and II so how is Mystery Gift affected by this? Can Mystery Gift be activated on the Game Boy Player?}}

In [[Generation II]], the Mystery Gift system is used in conjunction with the [[infrared]] port on top of the [[Game Boy Color]] to communicate with other Mystery Gift-enabled games in order to provide other players with [[Decoration#Generation II decorations|room decorations]] or [[item]]s. It can also be used with {{g|Stadium 2}} and {{g|Pikachu 2 GS}}. Mystery Gift can be used a maximum of five times a day, receiving no more than one gift from each player.

To activate the Mystery Gift system in the Generation II games, the player must use a Game Boy Color or [[Game Boy Advance]] system, then talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] and [[save]] the game; after doing this, the option to use the system will be available from the [[main menu]]. While Mystery Gift can be activated on a Game Boy Advance system, it cannot be used on them due to the lack of an infrared port. It can be used on the [[Virtual Console]].

When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II [[core series]] game, each of the connected games will receive a random item, and the opponent in the [[Trainer House]] will be replaced by that other player. When it is used to connect to Pokémon Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item; some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to [[Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS]], the player decides on a number of [[Watt]]s to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

Decorations obtained via Mystery Gift are automatically sent to the player's PC. Items obtained via Mystery Gift can be collected at any [[Pokémon Center]], from an [[Non-player character|NPC]] behind the leftmost counter on the second floor.

====Items====
The following items are obtainable randomly by Mystery Gift.

===Generation III===
====Mystery Gift====
{{incomplete|section|Needs info on Wonder Cards and Wonder News. Explain "Wireless Communication" and "from a friend". What exactly are Wonder Spots and are they related to the Joy Spots? What is Mystery Event for, especially in Japanese Emerald where Mystery Gift is also available?}}
In [[Generation III]], Mystery Gift is only available on {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} by using a [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] or (for Japanese games only) an [[e-Reader]]. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a similar system called {{DL||Mystery Event}} is instead available. In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, both Mystery Gift and Mystery Event are available.

The primary use of the Mystery Gift system in this generation is to receive special [[item]]s at {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo events}}. [[Altering Cave]] was also intended to utilize the feature to change the [[wild Pokémon]] available there. It is language-dependent, meaning the player can only receive Mystery Gifts that are intended for games of their language.

To activate the Mystery Gift system, the player must fill in the questionnaire found at any [[Poké Mart]] by entering the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] (based on the language of the game) and [[save]] the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform the player that the Mystery Gift system has been activated, and it will be accessible from the [[main menu]] from that point on.

Mystery Gifts can be received at any Pokémon Center, from an NPC on the second floor next to [[Teala]].

In the Japanese games, the Mystery Gift system defaults to an e-Reader mode, but it changes to a Wireless Adapter mode if the Wireless Adapter is connected. In the e-Reader Mode, the system is referred to as '''ふしぎなもらいもの''' instead of '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' (the phrases are mostly synonymous, with the former focusing slightly more on the receiving or receiver and the latter focusing more on the giving or giver).

Mystery Gifts can be received via Wireless Communication or from a friend. In the Japanese versions, the Wireless Communication option is instead called '''Joy Spot''' (Japanese: '''ジョイスポット'''), the name of a service launched by [[Nintendo]] on March 25, 2004 to provide multiplayer gaming and wireless data distribution to players of the [[Game Boy Advance]] using the Wireless Adapter,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0404/pokemon/ 話題の新サービス！　ジョイスポット体験レポート]</ref><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/03/11/joy-spot Joy Spot - IGN] ([https://archive.is/zyD37 archived copy])</ref> with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} being the first title to include support. According to the Japanese Wikipedia, the service ended on July 8, 2005.<ref>[https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ゲームボーイアドバンス専用ワイヤレスアダプタ&oldid=48521539#ジョイスポットゲームボーイアドバンス専用ワイヤレスアダプタ - Wikipedia]</ref>

====Mystery Event====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is a similar system called '''Mystery Event''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなできごと''' ''Mystery Event''), which requires an [[e-Reader]]. Mystery Events can only be unlocked after defeating [[Norman]] and receiving the {{Badge|Balance}}. To access this feature, the player must talk to the NPC near the [[PC]] in the [[Petalburg City]] [[Pokémon Center]] and enter the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] (based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Events system has been activated. After saving the game, it will then be accessible from the [[main menu]] from that point on.

Mystery Event is also available in the Japanese version of Emerald. Activating it in Emerald requires using the same questionnaire as is used for Mystery Gift, found at any Poké Mart, except that the phrase from below must be entered. It is disabled and hidden from the main menu if the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|Wireless Adapter]] mode of Mystery Gift is enabled.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Mystery Gift IV.png|thumb|200px|Mystery Gift in Generation IV]]
{{incomplete|section|Which core series games can connect to the listed spin-offs?}}

In [[Generation IV]], in addition to [[item]]s and Pokémon, the Mystery Gift system can be used to obtain [[Pokétch]] apps, [[Goods]], and [[Pokéwalker]] Routes. It can also be used to transfer {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, or receive [[items]] and Pokémon from {{g|Battle Revolution}}. Gifts can be received wirelessly, via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], or from a friend. A specific gift can only be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item or Pokémon from events or the said games. Gifts are transferred via [[Wonder Card]], which the player can store up to three of. If the player has three Wonder Cards, they must discard one before they can receive another Mystery Gift.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Mystery Gift system is activated at [[Jubilife TV]]. A TV producer on the third floor will activate the Mystery Gift system if the player answers his questions with the correct keywords as shown below (based on the language of the game) and [[save]]s the game. If the player receives a Wonder Card via a {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo event}} or another compatible game prior to activating the feature, Mystery Gift will be activated automatically regardless.

Mystery Gifts can be received at any [[Poké Mart]], from an NPC standing by the counter.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Mystery Gift system is automatically unlocked after receiving the [[Pokédex]]. Due to the addition of an option for connecting to the [[Pokéwalker]] in the [[main menu]] and its placement as the third entry, the player must scroll down on the touch screen to access the Mystery Gift option.

===Generation V===
[[File:Mystery Gift V.png|thumb|200px|Mystery Gift in Generation V]]
The Mystery Gift system is now always enabled in the [[main menu]] of the game, even when a save file is not present.

Like in [[Generation IV]], the player is able to receive gifts wirelessly or from [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The '''Get from a friend''' feature was replaced by the use of serial codes and [[infrared]] to obtain [[event item]]s.

The maximum amount of [[Wonder Card]]s a game can hold is increased to 12 for saved games. Games without a save file can only hold at most three Wonder Cards.

Mystery Gifts can be received at any Pokémon Center, from an NPC standing near the entrance.

===Generation VI===
The Mystery Gift system works like in [[Generation V]]. One notable difference is that all non-[[Nintendo Zone]] local events are no longer region-locked. The maximum amount of [[Wonder Card]]s a game can hold is now 24. In order to use Mystery Gift, the game must have a save file.

Mystery Gifts can be received at any Pokémon Center, from an NPC by the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]].

===Generation VII===
====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
Mystery Gift works like it did in [[Generation VI]]. The maximum amount of [[Wonder Card]]s a game can hold can be up to 48. The game must have a save file to use. Items and objects obtained from other software such as [[Battle Point]]s from [[Pokémon Bank]] are moved to being used as Wonder Cards instead of from [[Pokémon Link]]. The touch screen on the main menu will tell the player if they have any mystery gifts waiting to be picked up if there are any.

Mystery Gifts can be received at any Pokémon Center, from an NPC by the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]].

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{incomplete|section}}
Mystery Gift can be accessed through the [[Communicate]] option in the [[menu]].

The ability to receive events via local wireless is not available.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
The Mystery Gift system is now its own entry in the [[menu]]. It is obtained after encountering {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. The ability to receive events via local wireless returns. [[Battle Stadium]] rewards can also be received.

The {{DL|Max Raid Battle|Wild Area News}} can be updated from the Mystery Gift menu.

====Pokémon HOME====
The mobile version of {{g|HOME}} has its own '''Mystery Gifts''' option accessible from the main menu. From the Mystery Gifts menu the player can access local events, enter serial codes, scan QR codes, or receive [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#Pokémon HOME Gift Box Pokémon|reward Pokémon]] for completing certain tasks. These Pokémon can then be brought into the player's storage, and then to a compatible [[Generation VIII]] of their choice. The game's help section suggests the feature may also be used to distribute items in the future, as well.

These features are all accessable regardless of the player's subcription status.

==Shiny Pokémon locking==
Usually Pokémon obtained via Mystery Gift are either always {{Shiny}} or never Shiny.

If the Shiny lock is enabled, {{pkmn|Egg}}s cannot hatch into Shiny Pokémon on the game they are received in, but if they are hatched in another game they can be. This is because the Shiny check uses the ID of the player who obtained the Egg, not the player who hatches it.

Super-ancient Pokémon

2021-09-11T04:57:07Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Intro */

[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon.png|thumb|210px|Groudon and Kyogre battle as Rayquaza arrives.]]
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon 2.png|thumb|210px|The super-ancient Pokémon in their alternative forms in the anime.]]
The '''super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''超古代ポケモン''' ''super-ancient Pokémon''), is a term applied to the three ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] legend—{{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. This trio has historically been called the '''weather trio''' by fans.

The three Pokémon represent separate elemental spheres, Kyogre having dominion over the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon over the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza over the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These roles are reflected in their types. The members all have some physiological similarities, with similar symbols on their bodies as well as yellow eyes. The three Pokémon could be references to creatures from Hebrew myth: {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird.

In their reprised roles in the [[remake]]s of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre gained the ability to undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and Rayquaza the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Primal Reversion is said to be a process whereby the Pokémon return to their original power. Meanwhile, Rayquaza is said to be the first Pokémon to have Mega Evolved.

In their original appearance in Generation III, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} [[Ability|Abilities]] belonged exclusively to them. Though several non-Legendary Pokémon have other Abilities that can alter the [[weather]], only {{a|Cloud Nine}}'s effect overlaps with the effects of the trio's Abilities (with Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}}). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Though moves such as {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}} have acted just like Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities since Generation II, causing the weather to change for only five turns, originally, Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities caused their weather effect for the remainder of the battle or until the weather was changed again in some way. However, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre's new, enhanced Abilities render it impossible for the weather to be changed by most other means, though the effect lasts only as long as they remain in battle. By contrast, Rayquaza's Ability—which removes the battle effects of any weather on the field, leaving only its visual effect—only lasts as long as Rayquaza remains active, as does Mega Rayquaza's enhanced version of the Ability.

Rayquaza, the [[trio master]], was shown quelling a violent confrontation between the other two Pokémon during the events of {{game|Emerald}}.

==History==
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the trio's history is revealed. Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} fought over that energy in endless clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing. But {{p|Rayquaza}} intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to rebattle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

Rayquaza is obtained during the Delta Episode atop [[Sky Pillar]], which occurs after the player become the Champion and is granted access to Sky Pillar by [[Wallace]]. Rayquaza must be caught when encountered; if the player runs away from it or defeats it, they will have to battle it again until it is caught.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all three members of the super-ancient Pokémon can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/7|US}} can be encountered in the Cave World through a yellow warp hole. {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole. {{p|Rayquaza}} can be encountered in the Cliff World through a red warp hole, as long as both Groudon and Kyogre are in the player's party.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kyogre Groudon legend.png|thumb|250px|An ancient mural depicting the clash between Groudon and Kyogre]]
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the [[Blue Orb]]. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the [[Red Orb]]. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lance]] managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively. {{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} debuted separately from the other members of its trio. It first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it defended its territory from a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] appeared after [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} used their [[Mega Ring]] and [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary [[Giant Rock]]. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Groudon|Groudon]] and [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the Giant Rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the Giant Rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment, they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the Giant Rock.

Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the Giant Rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the Giant Rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the Giant Rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by a dark entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[creation trio]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. It was revealed that long ago, Kyogre and Groudon engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dahara City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dahara City.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)}}
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in Pokémon Adventures. Archie and Maxie took control of Kyogre and Groudon respectively, and Norman awakened Rayquaza in order to calm the two.

==Trivia==

[[File:Hall of Fame B2W2.png|thumb|right|Entering the Hall of Fame in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}]]
The '''Hall of Fame''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|殿堂入り|でんどういり}}''' ''Induction to the Hall of Fame'') is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who have ever beaten the [[Pokémon Champion]]. Various data regarding the victorious Trainer is recorded. The Hall of Fame was in a room accessible from the Champion's room prior to [[Generation VII]]. It may be accessed by people who have entered it by way of [[PC]].

==In the core series==
===Data recorded===
In each game, data is recorded into the [[PC]], which is also shown during the games' ending scene. This is a list of which data is visible on the Hall of Fame PC option.

====Generation I====
Hall of Fame records are stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member team is given six records. Each uniquely indexed record holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]], and [[nickname]]. The Pokémon's [[type]] is also displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|species index]] itself.

All [[Generation I]] games store the {{player}}'s 50 most recent records in ascending order. Any further records overwrite the oldest record present. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 2 through 51 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 300 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, playing time, [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

====Generation II====
Hall of Fame records are again stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each uniquely indexed record now holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]], [[Individual values|IVs]], [[Trainer ID number]] and [[nickname]]. Although the IVs are not visible, they are used to display the Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation II)|index number]] is also displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation II]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would again delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 180 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time, sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each [[Party|team]] member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

====Generation III====
Hall of Fame records are now stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member is team is also given a single record. Each indexed record holds an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], and [[Trainer ID number]]. Personality values work exactly like [[Individual values|IVs]] in [[Generation II]], in that they are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} and/or {{p|Spinda}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the these apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III)|index number]] is once again displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation III]] games store the player's 50 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 51 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 50 team records, each with a maximum of 300 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time and sprite are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. Unlike previous [[generation]]s, however, each game's [[region]]al {{pkmn|Professor}} will not evaluate the [[Pokédex]]. Instead, the message <code>LEAGUE CHAMPION! CONGRATULATIONS!</code> is displayed before the credits roll.

====Generation IV====
Hall of Fame records are again stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. Each indexed record holds the date the feat took place, as well as an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], {{pkmn|Trainer}} name and all four learned [[move]]s. Personality values are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen.

All [[Generation IV]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 30 team records, each with a maximum of 180 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, [[Trainer ID number]], playing time and sprite and the message <code>League Champion! Congratulations!</code> are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand.

Additionally, when a team member is displayed during the ending scene, its original [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|catching location]] will be displayed. Whether this piece of information is stored within each team member's Hall of Fame record or not has yet to be researched.

====Generation V====
{{incomplete|section|Needs research on how the Hall of Fame data is stored}}
In addition to recording the player's [[party]] after defeating the Champion in all games of Generation V, the Hall of Fame in Pokémon Black and White also records data after the player defeats [[Ghetsis]]. A maximum of 15 entries can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is again deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. The data is stored in the "Records" section of the PC. Each entry includes the date the player entered the Hall of Fame, their Pokémon's nickname, gender, level, species, [[Original Trainer]], and moves.

====Generation VI====
After defeating the [[Elite Four]], the player's party is saved in the Hall of Fame. Stored data for each party member includes species, gender, level, nickname, Original Trainer, moves, and held items. Similarly to Generation V, a maximum of 15 [[Elite Four]] clears can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]] the Hall of Fame is no longer an actual place, nor can it be recalled at a PC. Instead, when [[Hau]] or [[Professor Kukui]] is defeated in battle, the screen transitions into each Pokémon in the party, and their levels, displayed as multicolored shooting stars before transitioning to the player looking around at the stars, with the message <code>Congratulations! You are the first-ever Champion of Alola!</code> or <code>Congratulations! You defended your title!</code>(if the last battle was a title defense).

A {{tc|Golfer}} standing near the Pokémon League entrance replaces the PC function to recall data from victorious teams, but the only data that's stored in this generation are the species names, and only for two saved teams: the first victory, and the most recent one.

====Generation VIII====
In [[Generation VIII]], the Hall of Fame is once again no longer an actual place. Instead, the title screen will now be updated to showcase each party member of the player's team after defeating [[Leon]]. In addition, each Pokémon will receive a Galar Champion Ribbon that solidifies the player having entered the Hall of Fame. Since Leon officially loses his title and position as Champion in these games, this will be the only formal Hall of Fame indictment.

===Rewards===
Once the player has entered the Hall of Fame, few to several rewards are unlocked, depending of the version played.

====[[Generation I]]====

===Glitches===
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries caused by MissingNo.]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, if the player encounters [[MissingNo.]] or other [[glitch Pokémon]], the Hall of Fame data may be corrupted by a [[glitch]] in the game. When MissingNo. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which will often consist of glitched characters and names. Players can often see particular Pokémon in the Hall of Fame, whether they have seen them in the [[Pokédex]] or not. This effect also works in {{game|Yellow}} when encountering glitch Pokémon through the [[Mew glitch]]. However, a way to avoid the effects of this glitch is to encounter MissingNo. or any other glitch Pokémon before entering the Hall of Fame, because encountering a MissingNo. only affects the teams already registered in the Hall of Fame. Players can also defeat the Elite Four multiple times after having encountered MissingNo., as the game will automatically overwrite older Hall of Fame entries after the Elite Four is defeated 20 times.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, performing the [[Dokokashira door glitch]] allows the {{player}} to quickly complete the game by forcing the next door to take them to another location; this can include the Hall of Fame room. This extremely hazardous and game-breaking glitch was removed from {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, causing it to not be present in the translated {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In earlier versions of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the game would sometimes freeze after recording the player's team data in the Hall of Fame; this glitch was patched out in the Version 1.2 update on December 3, 2014, 12 days after the games' initial release.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
[[File:Hall of Fame Masters.png|thumb|150px|Hall of Fame for the Johto Challenge in Masters EX]]
Like in the core series games, in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], players may enter the Hall of Fame after defeating the Elite Four and Champion in the [[Champion Stadium]] at Hard difficulty. Unlike in the core series games however, players are required to use different [[sync pair]]s when challenging each individual Elite Four member or Champion; thus, 5-15 sync pairs can be registered at the Hall of Fame. After the Champion is defeated, a short animation will play showing the sync pair(s) that defeated the Champion before the message "Congratulations! Hall of Fame Entry No. #" appears, with the # indicating the number of times the player has entered the Hall of Fame overall within the region in rotation.

The Hall of Fame lists the date and time the Champion Stadium was cleared as well as the sync pairs that defeated each individual Elite Four member or Champion in the order they were faced. Only the region in which the Champion Stadium is running is reported for the Hall of Fame.

Should the player succeed in entering the Hall of Fame with 18 different types of sync pairs, they may obtain an MVP Medal for the region in rotation, after which they may participate in the Master Mode of the Champion Stadium.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Palace of Victory.png|thumb|220px|The Palace of Victory]]
===Main series===
The Hall of Fame's only appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. After beating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{Ash}} earned a spot in the [[Palace of Victory]], which is also known as the [[Orange League]] Hall of Fame. A photo of the winning {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are kept on display.

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', [[Scott]] revealed that any Trainer who successfully defeats the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} is entered into the Hall of Fame and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate. After earning his final [[Symbol]] by defeating [[Brandon]] in the [[AG190|next episode]], Ash entered the Battle Frontier Hall of Fame, but turned down the offer for Frontier Brain candidacy.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Hall of Fame PO.png|thumb|250px|The Hall of Fame in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Hall of Fame appeared in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' after {{OBP|Red|Origins}} defeated {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} and became the Pokémon League Champion. Much like in the games, Red was led to the Hall of Fame by Professor Oak, after which Red's Pokémon's data was recorded and displayed on a screen. The Hall of Fame contained numerous portraits of all the previous Champions and their Pokémon [[party|teams]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The "Congratulations" screen in the [[Generation V]] games shows the player with one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; After showing one battle animation cycle, it rotates the Pokémon off-screen to the left and the next Pokémon takes its place from the right. This is similar to what occurs in the title screen of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}.

----
{{incomplete|article|needs=VIII data. Missing image/video gallery of inductions (including variants in third versions and remakes) from all handheld main series games aside from Platinum. Also needs information about Generation VI and layout maps from Generations V and VI}}
[[File:Hall of Fame B2W2.png|thumb|right|Entering the Hall of Fame in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}]]
The '''Hall of Fame''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|殿堂入り|でんどういり}}''' ''Induction to the Hall of Fame'') is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who have ever beaten the [[Pokémon Champion]]. Various data regarding the victorious Trainer is recorded. The Hall of Fame was in a room accessible from the Champion's room prior to [[Generation VII]]. It may be accessed by people who have entered it by way of [[PC]].

==In the core series==
===Data recorded===
In each game, data is recorded into the [[PC]], which is also shown during the games' ending scene. This is a list of which data is visible on the Hall of Fame PC option.

====Generation I====
Hall of Fame records are stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member team is given six records. Each uniquely indexed record holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]], and [[nickname]]. The Pokémon's [[type]] is also displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|species index]] itself.

All [[Generation I]] games store the {{player}}'s 50 most recent records in ascending order. Any further records overwrite the oldest record present. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 2 through 51 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 300 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, playing time, [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

====Generation II====
Hall of Fame records are again stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each uniquely indexed record now holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]], [[Individual values|IVs]], [[Trainer ID number]] and [[nickname]]. Although the IVs are not visible, they are used to display the Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation II)|index number]] is also displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation II]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would again delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 180 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time, sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each [[Party|team]] member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

====Generation III====
Hall of Fame records are now stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member is team is also given a single record. Each indexed record holds an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], and [[Trainer ID number]]. Personality values work exactly like [[Individual values|IVs]] in [[Generation II]], in that they are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} and/or {{p|Spinda}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the these apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III)|index number]] is once again displayed; however, this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation III]] games store the player's 50 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 51 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 50 team records, each with a maximum of 300 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time and sprite are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. Unlike previous [[generation]]s, however, each game's [[region]]al {{pkmn|Professor}} will not evaluate the [[Pokédex]]. Instead, the message <code>LEAGUE CHAMPION! CONGRATULATIONS!</code> is displayed before the credits roll.

====Generation IV====
Hall of Fame records are again stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. Each indexed record holds the date the feat took place, as well as an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], {{pkmn|Trainer}} name and all four learned [[move]]s. Personality values are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen.

All [[Generation IV]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 30 team records, each with a maximum of 180 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, [[Trainer ID number]], playing time and sprite and the message <code>League Champion! Congratulations!</code> are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand.

Additionally, when a team member is displayed during the ending scene, its original [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|catching location]] will be displayed. Whether this piece of information is stored within each team member's Hall of Fame record or not has yet to be researched.

====Generation V====
{{incomplete|section|Needs research on how the Hall of Fame data is stored}}
In addition to recording the player's [[party]] after defeating the Champion in all games of Generation V, the Hall of Fame in Pokémon Black and White also records data after the player defeats [[Ghetsis]]. A maximum of 15 entries can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is again deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. The data is stored in the "Records" section of the PC. Each entry includes the date the player entered the Hall of Fame, their Pokémon's nickname, gender, level, species, [[Original Trainer]], and moves.

====Generation VI====
After defeating the [[Elite Four]], the player's party is saved in the Hall of Fame. Stored data for each party member includes species, gender, level, nickname, Original Trainer, moves, and held items. Similarly to Generation V, a maximum of 15 [[Elite Four]] clears can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]] the Hall of Fame is no longer an actual place, nor can it be recalled at a PC. Instead, when [[Hau]] or [[Professor Kukui]] is defeated in battle, the screen transitions into each Pokémon in the party, and their levels, displayed as multicolored shooting stars before transitioning to the player looking around at the stars, with the message <code>Congratulations! You are the first-ever Champion of Alola!</code> or <code>Congratulations! You defended your title!</code>(if the last battle was a title defense).

A {{tc|Golfer}} standing near the Pokémon League entrance replaces the PC function to recall data from victorious teams, but the only data that's stored in this generation are the species names, and only for two saved teams: the first victory, and the most recent one.

====Generation VIII====
In [[Generation VIII]], the Hall of Fame is once again no longer an actual place. Instead, the title screen will now be updated to showcase each party member of the player's team after defeating [[Leon]]. In addition, each Pokémon will receive a Galar Champion Ribbon that solidifies the player having entered the Hall of Fame. Since Leon officially loses his title and position as Champion in these games, this will be the only formal Hall of Fame indictment.

===Rewards===
Once the player has entered the Hall of Fame, few to several rewards are unlocked, depending of the version played.

====[[Generation I]]====

===Glitches===
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries caused by MissingNo.]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, if the player encounters [[MissingNo.]] or other [[glitch Pokémon]], the Hall of Fame data may be corrupted by a [[glitch]] in the game. When MissingNo. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which will often consist of glitched characters and names. Players can often see particular Pokémon in the Hall of Fame, whether they have seen them in the [[Pokédex]] or not. This effect also works in {{game|Yellow}} when encountering glitch Pokémon through the [[Mew glitch]]. However, a way to avoid the effects of this glitch is to encounter MissingNo. or any other glitch Pokémon before entering the Hall of Fame, because encountering a MissingNo. only affects the teams already registered in the Hall of Fame. Players can also defeat the Elite Four multiple times after having encountered MissingNo., as the game will automatically overwrite older Hall of Fame entries after the Elite Four is defeated 20 times.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, performing the [[Dokokashira door glitch]] allows the {{player}} to quickly complete the game by forcing the next door to take them to another location; this can include the Hall of Fame room. This extremely hazardous and game-breaking glitch was removed from {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, causing it to not be present in the translated {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In earlier versions of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the game would sometimes freeze after recording the player's team data in the Hall of Fame; this glitch was patched out in the Version 1.2 update on December 3, 2014, 12 days after the games' initial release.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
[[File:Hall of Fame Masters.png|thumb|150px|Hall of Fame for the Johto Challenge in Masters EX]]
Like in the core series games, in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], players may enter the Hall of Fame after defeating the Elite Four and Champion in the [[Champion Stadium]] at Hard difficulty. Unlike in the core series games however, players are required to use different [[sync pair]]s when challenging each individual Elite Four member or Champion; thus, 5-15 sync pairs can be registered at the Hall of Fame. After the Champion is defeated, a short animation will play showing the sync pair(s) that defeated the Champion before the message "Congratulations! Hall of Fame Entry No. #" appears, with the # indicating the number of times the player has entered the Hall of Fame overall within the region in rotation.

The Hall of Fame lists the date and time the Champion Stadium was cleared as well as the sync pairs that defeated each individual Elite Four member or Champion in the order they were faced. Only the region in which the Champion Stadium is running is reported for the Hall of Fame.

Should the player succeed in entering the Hall of Fame with 18 different types of sync pairs, they may obtain an MVP Medal for the region in rotation, after which they may participate in the Master Mode of the Champion Stadium.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Palace of Victory.png|thumb|220px|The Palace of Victory]]
===Main series===
The Hall of Fame's only appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. After beating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{Ash}} earned a spot in the [[Palace of Victory]], which is also known as the [[Orange League]] Hall of Fame. A photo of the winning {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are kept on display.

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', [[Scott]] revealed that any Trainer who successfully defeats the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} is entered into the Hall of Fame and becomes a [[Frontier Brain]] candidate. After earning his final [[Symbol]] by defeating [[Brandon]] in the [[AG190|next episode]], Ash entered the Battle Frontier Hall of Fame, but turned down the offer for Frontier Brain candidacy.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Hall of Fame PO.png|thumb|250px|The Hall of Fame in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Hall of Fame appeared in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' after {{OBP|Red|Origins}} defeated {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} and became the Pokémon League Champion. Much like in the games, Red was led to the Hall of Fame by Professor Oak, after which Red's Pokémon's data was recorded and displayed on a screen. The Hall of Fame contained numerous portraits of all the previous Champions and their Pokémon [[party|teams]].

* The "Congratulations" screen in the [[Generation V]] games shows the player with one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; After showing one battle animation cycle, it rotates the Pokémon off-screen to the left and the next Pokémon takes its place from the right. This is similar to what occurs in the title screen of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}.

'''Ferrothorn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナットレイ''' ''Nutrey'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ferroseed}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Ferrothorn is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a flattened durian. Its metallic body is covered in thorns, with three black stripes circling its width, the middle stripe having triangular decorations below the eyes of Ferrothorn. Its eyes have green rims, yellow sclerae, and dark pupils. There is a green spike at the top of its body, and extending around it are vine-like, long green appendages tipped with spiky metal disks.

The spikes of Ferrothorn are said to be harder than steel. It can use these feelers to either cling onto the ceilings of a cave or walk around. Ferrothorn also uses the feelers to absorb nutrients from the rocks it scrapes. When hanging, it can attack its prey underneath by shooting spikes.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Ferrothorn and its pre-evolved form.
* Ferrothorn is tied with {{p|Kartana}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both are also part {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Ferrothorn is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 489.

===Origin===
Ferrothorn appears to be based on {{wp|durian}} plants. Its vines resemble {{wp|flail (weapon)|military flails}}. The vines also resemble a fully-grown brier plant, just as its pre-evolved form resembles a seed. It could also be based on the ''{{wp|tribulus}}'', which is a species of thorny plants whose name, during Roman times, also meant {{wp|caltrop}}s, which is a thorny metallic weapon used to puncture the feet of invading soldiers. Also, the "tri-" in tribulus means "three", which is also the same number of pods Ferrothorn has.

====Name origin====
Ferrothorn is a combination of "ferrous" (meaning contains iron) and ''thorn'' (a protective spine found on many plants).

Nutrey may be a combination of ''nut'' and ''rey'' (Spanish for ''king''), 鈴 ''rei'' (bell), or ''trey'' (Italian for ''three'' anglicized, referring to its three appendages).

Mobile System GB

2021-09-01T19:30:44Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Intro */ Changed to past tense

{{Search|Mobile System GB|more general information on the Mobile System GB|Mobile Game Boy Adapter}}
{{translated title}}
[[File:Crystal Mobile guide.png|A cartoon illustrating the Mobile System GB |thumb]]
The '''Mobile System GB''' (Japanese: '''モバイルシステムＧＢ''' ''Mobile System GB'') was a paid online service used by the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]]. It was used by the Japanese versions of {{game|Crystal}} and {{g|Stadium 2}}. The service could be used by connecting to a compatible Japanese {{wp|mobile phone}} using the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]].

The system was never implemented outside of Japan. This may have been due to the lack of standardized and cheap mobile phones available overseas at the time, and the fact that most younger players could not have access to such devices.

In May 2002, [[Nintendo]] announced that it would shut down the Mobile System GB service by December 14, 2002.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n07/ モバイルシステムＧＢ] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20030202092916/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n07/ earliest archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.telecompaper.com/news/nintendo-to-withdraw-mobile-system-gb-service--307409 Nintendo to withdraw Mobile System GB service - Telecompaper]</ref> This impacted all players since the functionality became inaccessible.

==Access==
To unlock the Mobile System GB in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the player would have to connect their [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Advance]], or [[Game Boy Advance SP]] to a compatible Japanese {{wp|mobile phone}} with the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]]. Connections were made to the now defunct <code>gameboy.datacenter.ne.jp</code> {{wp|Server (computing)|server}}, hosted by [[Nintendo Network Service Development]]. This initial connection causes the '''MOBILE''' (Japanese: '''モバイル''' ''Mobile'') and '''[[Mobile Stadium|MOBILE STADIUM]]''' (Japanese: '''モバイルスタジアム''' ''Mobile Stadium'') entries to become accessible from the [[main menu]], and grants the player access to the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, Mobile Stadium, and the services within the [[Pokémon Communication Center]].

==Features==
===Mobile menu===
Any of the services required the player to set up their profile in the '''Mobile''' (Japanese: '''モバイル''' ''Mobile'')<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 44 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref> menu, and this data would be used for purposes such as {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} data and [[Pokémon News Machine|Pokémon News]]. It was accessed from the aforementioned MOBILE entry in the [[main menu]]. Within the Mobile Center, the player could use the '''Card Folder''' (Japanese: '''めいしフォルダー''' ''Name Card Folder'') to check their profile and manage a [[Pal Pad]]-like contact list, which also allowed phone numbers to be shared with a number of friends.

===Mobile Stadium===
{{main|Mobile Stadium}}
Players could hold [[trade]]s and ten-minute {{pkmn|battle}}s via the second floor of any [[Pokémon Center]]. The battles could be saved in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}} and later uploaded to the [[Mobile Stadium]] service of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Facilities===
The [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] is replaced by a larger building called the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], which includes the facilities that take advantage of the Mobile System GB: Trade Corner and Pokémon News Machine. The {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} near [[Olivine City]] also takes use of the Mobile System GB in the Japanese version.

===Costs===
The services provided by the Mobile System GB had additional costs to players.<ref>[http://www.scn-net.ne.jp/~tatoo/ma-gb.html Shonan Cable Network - モバイルアダプタＧＢ通信]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20181120182021/http://outdoor.geocities.jp/twnfh640/gbcolumn.mobilegb.html GBClover - サービス終了　モバイルアダプタGB]</ref>

==Legacy==
The Mobile System GB and its related features were [[Game Freak]]'s first attempt at providing wireless linking to players. This experiment, along with the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, helped the company shape the now standard multiplayer features of the current [[core series]] games, which are now more practical due to the use of the built-in {{wp|Wi-Fi}} in [[Nintendo]]'s modern handhelds.

Flame Plate

2021-08-20T18:50:17Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Acquisition */ The page for "fateful encounter" says the type of Arceus doesn't matter, I can test this later if anyone thinks it's wrong

|}

The '''Flame Plate''' (Japanese: '''ひのたまプレート''' ''Fireball Plate'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is one of the [[Plate]]s, which are associated with {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the core series games==
===Price===

|}
|}

===Effect===
====In battle====
Boosts the [[power]] of the holder's {{type|Fire}} moves by 20%. If the holder uses {{m|Judgment}}, it becomes a Fire-type move.

{{a|Multitype}} changes an {{p|Arceus}} holding this item to its Fire-type [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|form]]. From [[Generation V]] onward, item-manipulating effects (such as {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Fling}}) cannot give Arceus a Plate or remove a Plate from Arceus. (In [[Generation IV]], item-manipulating effects cannot affect Pokémon with Multitype.)

====Outside of battle====
{{a|Multitype}} changes an {{p|Arceus}} holding this item to its {{type|Fire}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|form]].

===Description===
{{movedesc|items}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}|An item to be held by a Pokémon. It is a stone tablet that boosts the power of Fire-type moves.}}

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
In [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Flame Plate is a Friendship Item that can be purchased for 250[[File:Magikarp Jump Diamond.png|top|16px|link=]]. It summons {{p|Litten}} as a helper Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus Plates.png|thumb|250px|Plates in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Flame Plate, alongside the other 15 Plates at the time, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} used them to change its type, and almost died when it lost all of the Plates after destroying a meteor that threatened what would become [[Michina Town]]. [[Damos]] found one of these lost Plates and returned it to Arceus. This gave it the strength to recall the other 15 Plates.

The Flame Plate, alongside the [[Splash Plate]] and [[Earth Plate]], appeared in a flashback in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where [[Ghris]] was seen using their combined powers to create the [[Prison Bottle]].

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
[[Petrel]] was collecting the Plates for [[Team Rocket]]'s plan. After {{adv|Silver}} stole the few Plates he had managed to find, Petrel decided to let him gather all 16 Plates, just to get them back at once later. With his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} leaving messages for {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Weavile}} across [[Johto]], Silver soon indeed gathered all 16 Plates for himself. At the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], {{adv|Gold}} surrendered the Plates to [[Archer]], who used them to seemingly take control of {{adv|Arceus}}, ordering it to recreate {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. When the [[Pokédex holder]]s used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks to stop the creation, all the Plates were absorbed by Arceus.

'''Koga''' (Japanese: '''キョウ''' ''Kyō'') was the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]]. He is a student of ninjutsu who specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He handed out the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him.

He became a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].

==In the core series games==
Koga, known as the Poisonous Ninja Master, serves two roles in the Pokémon games. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he is the Leader of the [[Fuchsia Gym]], but is promoted to be the second trainer of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Koga is a user of the {{type|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.

Koga has studied medicine and antidotes; he makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. He also serves as a teacher. Many students come to him to be trained in the arts of {{wp|Ninjutsu}} and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter, [[Janine]], who takes over his Gym in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} storyline. In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.

In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth Gym to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City Gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of Koga's students must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer the {{Badge|Soul}} and the [[TM]] for {{m|Toxic}}, a [[move]] which, according to him, is a secret technique that has passed down his family for over 400 years.

With the future of the Gym in his daughter's hands, Koga advances to a role in the Pokémon League of Kanto and Johto before the events of Generations II and IV. In these games, he is the second member of the Elite Four to be faced. The team he uses in this role is similar to his Gym Leader's teams; the main difference is the introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}. Koga's battle style as an Elite Four member is designed to confound and destroy his opponent in battle. Rather than using brute force, Koga attempts to [[status condition|confuse, put to sleep, and poison]] his opponent.

He speaks with a Japanese accent, as evidenced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

[[File:Koga anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Koga in the [[original series]]]]
[[File:Koga Best Wishes.png|thumb|220px|Koga in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Koga appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He operates the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in the woods outside [[Fuchsia City]]. {{an|Aya}}, Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to overcome the Gym's traps before meeting Koga, and Ash challenged him to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. During the match, [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's [[Evolution|newly-evolved]] {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander}}. However, their match was interrupted when {{TRT}} tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, even though they originally raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was eventually stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s unexpectedly powerful {{m|Confusion}} attack. Koga then offered to [[trade]] his Venomoth for Psyduck, but {{an|Misty}} declined. Ash and Koga then had a [[rematch]]; pitting Charmander against [[Koga's Golbat]], Ash triumphed and won the {{Badge|Soul}}.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

====Character====
Koga is dedicated to perfecting his {{pkmn|battle|battling}} techniques. Like the traps in his [[Gym]], he attempts to confuse and disorientate his opponents to get the upper hand during a match.

In the manga, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} get trapped in [[Fuchsia Gym|Koga's Gym]] while searching for the [[Hidden Village]] with {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, a {{p|Squirtle}}, a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}}. Their battle is only shown briefly in a montage sequence and it is unknown whether Team Rocket was victorious or not. It is also never shown if {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} himself battles Koga.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
Koga makes a brief cameo in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''. [[Walnut]], an aspiring ninja master, mentions that Koga is a big inspiration to him.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|220px|thumb|Koga in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Koga uses custom-made [[Poké Ball]]s that can be thrown as {{wp|shuriken}}—perhaps an inspiration for [[Falkner]]'s later boomerang Poké Balls.

====History====
====={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Koga is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and he serves under {{adv|Giovanni}}.

Koga debuts in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', where he is searching the [[Moon Stone]] in [[Mt. Moon]]. Here, Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, but the mission fails. Koga later tries to scare off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], and uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out, Red claims Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha in a cave, she uses her Arbok to cause stalactites to rain down on them, separating them. Agatha then makes Blue and Koga's Golbat (that he got paired up with again) face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok, which could change its patterns, allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Paralyze Heals. Koga was hoping at least one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was seemingly defeated.

However, in reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them. The two did not realize this at first, and reasoned Koga's loss of energy was due to his sudden loss of a large amount of blood. After traveling through the maze of stalactites for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly crushed in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground. He narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.

====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their Gyms, Koga was not even reached by Giovanni. He then disappears for a time, leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the Gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. Later, Koga reappeared with a new partner, [[Bruno]], who had saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse. They trained together for a while and both of them later met their former opponents Red and Blue, whose Rhydon was drilling underground towards [[Ilex Forest]]. Towards the end of the series, Koga and Bruno found [[Will]] and [[Karen]] in the Ilex Forest and persuaded them to work together. The new Elite Four is formed.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
After a long absence, Koga returns, along with the rest of the Elite Four, in ''[[PS443|Attaway, Aipom!]]''. They face {{adv|Gold}} in the [[Pokéathlon]] Power Course, with Koga taking part in the Circle Push event and easily winning it. Despite this, however, Gold manages to later make a comeback in the final event and win the course.

Once defeated and freed, it returned to the wild, where it was later caught by {{adv|Green}} alongside its fellow [[Legendary birds]].}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Koga PM.png|thumb|200px|Koga in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Koga PM 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Koga as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Koga first appears in ''[[PM015|Save The Chansey!!]]''. He is depicted as having a greedy personality.

He hires a Chansey torturer to kidnap the {{p|Chansey}} as they were valuable to him, something he only cared about. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} sneaks in with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} to take the Chansey. After getting caught though, Koga releases {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Grimer}} to stall Red and his Pokémon. However, Clefairy defeats them both, one by one, and rescues the Chansey.

In ''[[PM019|Aim to be the No. 1 Pokémon!!]]'', he was revealed to have registered for the No. 1 Pokémon Contest. His did not have his greed this time and it wore off since then. Koga participates with Ninetales but loses since Ninetales did not dazzle the audience.

After Red's travels in Johto, Koga is revealed to have joined the Johto Elite Four in ''[[PM105|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. He, along with [[Will]] and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. Red asks them what happened, but Koga asks him to ask Karen herself. It is later revealed that after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a joke, and they fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Koga|40}} appears as a {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion pack of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Out of the original [[Generation I]] [[Gym Leader]]s, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG.
* Koga is the first [[Elite Four]] member who was introduced in an earlier [[generation]] and then attained the title in a later generation, the second being [[Caitlin]], who was introduced in [[Pokémon Platinum]] and became an Elite Four member in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.
* Koga is the only Gym Leader introduced as of [[Generation V]] who does not appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This is due to his status as an Elite Four member in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.
* Koga uses a {{p|Venomoth}} on his team in all of the games in which [[Sabrina]] does not use one on her team, and vice-versa.
* Koga and [[Janine]] are the only two Gym Leaders to have the same slogan in different generations.
* Koga appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], where he uses a {{p|Crobat}}.

2021-08-10T06:43:28Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Pokémon GO Melmetal */

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of game-based Pokémon distributions''' that were given away using a game-based method to all region Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]]. While [[Pokémon HOME]] can be used to send Pokémon to and from [[Generation VII]]'s [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], no Pokémon compatible with those games have been distributed.

===[[Creation trio]]===
If the player brings an event Arceus to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina with its respective orb can be obtained. This only works once.

Although it is impossible to legitimately access the [[Hall of Origin]], an Arceus caught there can also be brought to the Sinjoh Ruins to allow the player to receive a Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina. At most, it is only possible to receive two of the creation trio Pokémon, by bringing one [[fateful encounter]] Arceus and one Hall of Origin Arceus to the Sinjoh Ruins. If the player does bring two Arceus, they will not be able to choose the same Pokémon twice. Choosing Giratina is also the only way to legitimately obtain the [[Griseous Orb]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, as it cannot be traded within Generation IV.

Mythical Pokémon

2021-08-09T23:07:58Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Trivia */

[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Mythical Pokémon]]
'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen so rarely in the [[Pokémon world]] that some question their very existence.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref>

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to Generation V, Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused, with some fans calling Mythical Pokémon "Event Legendaries", reflecting how they usually must be obtained at an event, but they are not a subset of them<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/features/#legendary-pokemon | New features added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra | Pokémon Sword and Shield Offical Website]</ref>); since Generation V, the two groups are presented as distinct groups in all official media. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

==Overview==
===In the core series===
Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] mythology. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are thought of as stuff of legends. They typically receive minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.

When they are first revealed, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can typically only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]] (either directly, or using an [[event item]]). They are distributed to players via [[Mystery Gift]] on special occasions such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, and the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]], or may be received via [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] that feature special connectivity. With few exceptions, Mythical Pokémon have never been obtainable in regular gameplay.

The [[gender]] of every Mythical Pokémon is unknown. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the exception of {{p|Meltan}}, and most cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, although {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}} {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for the [[Diploma]], except in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which require the player to obtain {{p|Deoxys}} to complete the [[National Pokédex]] Diploma due to it being available as part of the [[Delta Episode]].

====History====
Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

===Statistical average===
Considering [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]] and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolutions]] as separate Pokémon, counting {{p|Arceus}} once only.

Total=612.73 }}
|}

====Multiple Mythical Pokémon====
Sometimes, the player is able to acquire multiple Mythical Pokémon of the same species by trading or transferring them from multiple games, or by attending multiple real-life distributions. There are other instances of multiple Mythical Pokémon:

* It is possible to acquire multiple {{p|Phione}} [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]] by {{pkmn|breeding}} {{p|Manaphy}} with {{p|Ditto}}.
* The Pokédex states that at the end of {{p|Melmetal}}'s lifespan, its small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as {{p|Meltan}}. This indicates that multiple Meltan are born, but also there could potentially be multiple Melmetal if they [[evolution|evolve]]. Additionally, multiple Meltan are seen together in promotional videos.

===In the anime===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their {{pkmn|anime}} debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and anime.

In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. {{si|Tobias}} is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} seen to own a Mythical Pokémon in the anime, using the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Another character to own a Mythical Pokémon was {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], who owns the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}}. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{AP|Melmetal}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a [[Meltan]] in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'' after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 21 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(21/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Including Phione, there are 22 Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(22/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.

===Generation I===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
[[File:Faraway Island Mew.png|thumb|300px|[[May (game)|May]] encountering {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]]]]
{{p|Mew}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. Initially thought to be extinct, a {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|scientific team}} has reported sightings of it in [[Guyana]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, and is thus considered to be part of a [[Legendary duo]] with it.

Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 in an issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, and a [[Mew (Wizards Promo 47)|promotional card]] was included in the January issue of CoroCoro. Supposed [[Easter egg#Truck|methods]] of obtaining Mew, passed on through word-of-mouth, contributed to the success of the Pokémon series. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

In {{game|Emerald}}, with the [[Old Sea Chart]] [[event item]], the player can travel to [[Faraway Island]], where they can encounter a wild Mew, after they complete a game of hide-and-seek with it. This is the only time Mew has appeared in the wild (excluding [[glitch]]es).

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it can use a unique [[Z-Crystal]] known as the [[Mewnium Z]], which allows it to perform the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}. In Sun and Moon, the Mewnium Z was only available through a [[Pokémon Bank]] promotion, but it is available in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} by showing a Mew to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|left|140px|{{p|Celebi}} sitting on the [[Ilex Forest shrine]]]]
{{p|Celebi}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it [[Time travel|travels through time]].

Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those areas.

Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in Nintendo Space World 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player has the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], they can encounter a wild Celebi in [[Ilex Forest]]. In the original [[Game Boy Color]] release of Pokémon Crystal, this item was distributed via [[Mobile System GB]] in Japan (it was not available outside of Japan). In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release, the player can obtain the GS Ball in normal gameplay in [[Goldenrod City]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], making this the second time a Mythical Pokémon can be encountered in normal gameplay (after {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}).

In {{g|Colosseum}}, Celebi appears if the player uses a [[Time Flute]] at the [[Relic Stone]], descending from above and then flying around a [[Shadow Pokémon]] to instantly [[purification|purify]] it. In the Japanese version, the player can obtain Celebi after purifying all 64 Shadow Pokémon in the game.

It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. A Celebi also had a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. A {{Shiny}} Celebi appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
[[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|Encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]
{{p|Jirachi}} is a {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said to able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head once awake. It only wakes up for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, it will fight without waking up.

Jirachi was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and it, like Mew and Celebi, is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon with 100 for each [[base stat]]. It was revealed in 2003 in the context of the sixth movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it starred. It first became available in Japan to players who pre-ordered tickets to the movie, with other limited distribution events following throughout the year. Its distribution in the west was altered, as it was included in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in the United States and in [[Pokémon Channel]] in Europe and Australia. Unlike its predecessors, Jirachi does not have an extensive story or event in the core games, with its lore limited to a few indirect [[Mossdeep City|references]].

Jirachi is heavily connected to the real-world Japanese festival of {{wp|Tanabata}}, with several [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|distributions]] occurring in celebration of the event.
{{-}}
====Deoxys====
[[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]
{{p|Deoxys}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its form, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chest acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat. Additionally, Deoxys introduced the concept of [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]] which altered the distribution of stats.

In spite of being included in the preceding games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Deoxys was first made available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Officially revealed in late 2003 as a leading character in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', players were first able to capture Deoxys by use of the [[AuroraTicket]], which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.

While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

Contrary to its classification in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] as well as the [[Scholastic]] book ''[[Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]'' call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}

===Generation IV===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (five including {{p|Phione}}).

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|200px|right|Artwork of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
{{p|Manaphy}} is a {{type|Water}} Mythical Pokémon, and {{p|Phione}} is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth. Together, these two Pokémon species make up a Mythical duo of a parent and child.

Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione, cannot, however, [[evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. The only legitimate way to obtain a Phione in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione. Phione is the weaker of the two Pokémon, having 80 distributed into each stat instead of 100. It is impossible to get a Manaphy Egg through this method.

Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with even official sources contradicting one another. Further information can be found [[Phione (Pokémon)#Mythical status|here]].

Manaphy was first made available to those who pre-ordered tickets for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' in Japan. Anyone who pre-ordered tickets received a voucher which could be redeemed from June 17 to August 31, 2006, to access {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s [[Ranger Net]] mission, "Recover the Precious Egg!". Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. Pokémon Ranger's sequel games, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] have similar downloadable missions where Manaphy Eggs can be transferred to not only Diamond and Pearl but {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} as well. Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}
====Darkrai====
[[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
{{p|Darkrai}} is a {{type|Dark}} Mythical Pokémon. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself, and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.

Darkrai is heavily connected with the {{status|sleep}} [[status condition]], as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]] {{m|Dark Void}}. It also learns related moves, such as {{m|Nightmare}}. From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any other Pokémon.

Darkrai has appeared with an antagonistic role in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], specifically as an enemy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Cresselia}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and {{game|Platinum}}, the player must also cure {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare using a [[Lunar Wing]] from Cresselia. The two Pokémon's relationship is further cemented in the anime episode ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which Cresselia is revealed to actively drive Darkrai away from [[Canalave City]]. Collectively, the two Pokémon are known by a fan designator, the {{DL|Legendary duo|lunar duo}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed February 2007, and was first made available to those who owned Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and watched ''[[M10|Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in Japan from release to September 9, 2007. Other distributions were made available afterwards. Notably, in {{game|Platinum}}, an event gave the [[Member Card]] to players over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], activating an in-game event which allowed for capture of Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]].
{{-}}
====Shaymin====
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a {{type|Grass}} Mythical Pokémon. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom.

When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes Sky Forme Shaymin. Sky Forme has altered stats from its original Land Forme and takes on the {{t|Flying}} type as a secondary type. Shaymin will revert to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008 as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and in early June 2008, its Sky Forme was revealed. Shaymin was first made available to owners of Pokémon {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} during the theatrical showing of the movie in Japan from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Other distributions were later made available, but a notable distribution occurred for North American and PAL players from September 28 to November 8, 2009, through the distribution of the [[List of Key Items in Generation IV|Key Item]] [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
{{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed, then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.

Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[creation trio]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the Azure Flute is played there. As their creator, it is both trios' [[trio master]]. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be the master of two.

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus' creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find. It is the titular character of the upcoming {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and a major focus of the [[Generation V]] [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Conquest}}.

Arceus' [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change its form]] and [[type]] depending on which plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.

Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]]]]
{{p|Victini}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory and that trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it. When it shares the energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.

Victini is notable for appearing before the starter Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.

Victini was revealed in a preview for [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]] which was shown at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. It was made available in-game by use of the [[Liberty Pass]], an [[event item]] which was distributed across varying time periods worldwide. The Liberty Pass allowed players to travel to [[Liberty Garden]]. Once there, the player would be challenged by members of [[Team Plasma]] and could find Victini in the basement of the lighthouse.
{{-}}
====Keldeo====
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of {{p|Keldeo}}'s Ordinary Form]]
{{p|Keldeo}} is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}}-type Mythical Pokémon and the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. Its initial appearance in {{game|Black and White|s}} as well as the default in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]] is its Ordinary Form. In Black 2 and White 2, Keldeo has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Keldeo|second form]], its Resolute Form. After triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], the other Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}—will teach Keldeo {{m|Secret Sword}}. It will remain in its Resolute Form as long as it knows Secret Sword.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], Keldeo can be found in [[Ballimere Lake]] after completing [[Sonia]]'s sidequest to catch the other three Swords of Justice. Placing the other Swords of Justice in the player's party and cooking [[curry]] on the small island in the middle of the lake with the cooking pot on it will cause a wild Keldeo to appear, making it the third Mythical Pokémon available in regular gameplay without an event.

Keldeo debuted in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with the other Swords of Justice.
{{-}}

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two Formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} is a Mythical Pokémon with two different Formes, Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type while Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type. Legend says that it once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Upon entering the cafe in [[Castelia City]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It debuted on TV in its Aria Forme in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' and its Pirouette Forme debuted in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''.

It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}}'s visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].

Using an item known as a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa Confined can transform into Hoopa Unbound and remain so for three days, after which it transforms back to Hoopa Confined. It will also transform back if deposited in the PC. Hoopa Unbound was first introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} fails if used by any Pokémon other than Hoopa Unbound, such as if used by Hoopa Confined.

{{-}}
====Volcanion====
[[File:Volcanion movie artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Volcanion}}]]
{{p|Volcanion}} is a {{2t|Fire|Water}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans. According to the editor of the [[Lumiose Press]], Volcanion may have an organ unique to it inside its body that is hot enough to instantly vaporize water into steam to use in attacks. There is also a report that suggests that Volcanion may have used its power to destroy a mountain range where Kalos was founded.

It made its anime debut in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', in which it went on a mission to rescue {{p|Magearna}} from a power-hungry man named [[Alva]]. It initially did not trust humans, but it changed its mind after seeing how Ash was determined to protect Magearna.
{{-}}

Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It was first revealed in the March 2016 issue of CoroCoro. It is available via [[List of QR Code in-game event Pokémon in Generation VII#QR Code Magearna|QR code distribution]] for [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], making it the only Mythical Pokémon available through an indefinitely active event.

Magearna has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|second form]] known as its Original Color form. The difference in this form is purely cosmetic; it is gold and red. This form existed in the Generation VII games but was not distributed until [[Generation VIII]], where it can be received as a reward for completing the [[National Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon HOME]].

It acted as one of the main stars of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In the film, it is said to have been created by a brilliant scientist named [[Nikola]] five centuries ago. In the present day, it was kidnapped by [[Alva]], a corrupt minister of the [[Azoth Kingdom]] who sought to use Magearna's powers for his own selfish purposes.
{{-}}

{{p|Marshadow}} is a {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}}-type Mythical Pokémon. Its very existence is the stuff of legends, as very few people have ever seen it. Marshadow is known to travel through the shadows of humans and Pokémon in order to become stronger by copying the power of movements within said shadows. It has a form-like transformation known as Zenith Marshadow which is triggered when its fighting spirit starts burning.

It can utilize a unique Z-Crystal, the [[Marshadium Z]], which allows it to use the Z-Move [[Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike]]. This Z-Crystal came with a promotional Marshadow in Pokémon Sun and Moon but is also available in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon by showing Marshadow to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

It was revealed on April 8, 2018.

Zeraora was again made available for a limited time to celebrate the release of [[The Isle of Armor]] {{FB|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Expansion Pass}} for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

====Meltan and Melmetal====
[[File:Melmetal and Meltan.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}]]

On October 24, 2018, it was revealed that Meltan can [[evolution|evolve]] into another Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, {{p|Melmetal}}.

Meltan is known to be curious and expressive. It is instinctively drawn to metal that it could absorb, as well as other Meltan, in order to combine and form Melmetal. Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times for creating metal.

Meltan can be caught when opening the [[Mystery Box]] in Pokémon GO, which causes many Meltan to spawn around the player for a limited time. Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO, requiring 400 Meltan Candies.

Meltan is the only Pokémon, and by extension the only Mythical Pokémon, that is only obtainable in Pokémon GO. Melmetal was once the same, but has since been distributed as a gift in [[Pokémon HOME]] given for transferring Pokémon from GO using the [[GO Transporter]], this gift is a special Melmetal capable of Gigantamaxing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

A group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} first appeared in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]''. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', one of them was {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}}. In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Ash's Meltan evolved into {{AP|Melmetal}} by combining with the other Meltan.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* If {{p|Phione}} is not considered a Mythical Pokémon:
** {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed; as such, it is also the only Mythical Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
** {{p|Keldeo}} has the lowest base stat total at of all of the fully evolved Mythical Pokémon at 580.
* Every Mythical Pokémon along with [[Special Pokémon]] in [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one.
* Mythical Pokémon are almost always unavailable in a regular playthrough of the main series Pokémon games. The only Pokémon to lose this exclusivity are {{p|Deoxys}}, in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Celebi}}, in the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}, in [[The Crown Tundra]].
* {{p|Meltan}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[evolution]].
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
* {{p|Diancie}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s alternate forms, there are no {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, or {{t|Dragon}}-type Mythical Pokémon.
* All Mythical Pokémon only have a single possible Ability in each form.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are referred to as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''). However, this predates the use of the term Mythical Pokémon in English and has a different Japanese name.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation in which a new Mythical Pokémon was not present in the debut [[core series]] games' data at launch.
* [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Dratini}} state that it was believed to be a mythical Pokémon until it was caught by a {{tc|fisher|fisherman}}.
* {{p|Mew}}'s Pokédex entry in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} uses the words 'mythical Pokémon' in its English entry prior to the term being officially used outside Japan.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were treated similarly to Mythical Pokémon in the core [[Generation III]] games and Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. They cannot be obtained through normal gameplay in these games, nor are they required to complete any Pokédex. Lugia and Ho-Oh have been treated the same as other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in all games starting with {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
* Even though {{p|Rotom}} is not a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or Mythical Pokémon, it is mentioned in the list of Sinnoh's Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from [[Charon]]'s notebook in the chapter ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'' from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

'''Poké Spots''' (Japanese: '''ポケスポット''' ''Poké Spot'') are locations in [[Orre]] where {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Since the majority of Orre is a wasteland, it does not have the abundance of wild Pokémon found in other regions and thus Poké Spots are rare, with only three known to exist. The three Poké Spots are called the '''Rock Poké Spot''', the '''Oasis Poké Spot''', and the '''Cave Poké Spot'''. The Pokémon found at the three spots loosely correspond to the terrain of the spot.

Wild Pokémon are only lured into the open at a Poké Spot if [[Poké Snack]]s are left there. Up to ten Poké Snacks can be left at any one spot, and they will slowly be eaten away if a wild Pokémon arrives. During this period, the {{player}} will be notified of activity at the Poké Spot by their [[P★DA]]. If they arrive before all the Poké Snacks are eaten, they can battle the wild Pokémon.

There is a 10% chance that, in lieu of a wild Pokémon, the {{p|Munchlax}} owned by the Herb Shop owner from [[Gateon Port]] will arrive at a Poké Spot and start to eat the Poké Snacks. Instead of battling the Munchlax, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} will arrive as well, giving the player 10 Poké Snacks to compensate any the Munchlax may have eaten, along with a random herbal medicine as a token of apology. The runaway {{p|Bonsly}} also has a 30% chance to appear at a Poké Spot after having been scared off the [[S.S. Libra]] by the player's P★DA ringtone. The Bonsly can be returned to its Trainer using the same tactics attempted aboard the S.S. Libra: by approaching it slowly. Once Bonsly is returned, it will no longer appear at any of the Poké Spots.

Found in the western portion of Orre, close to [[Pyrite Town]], this Poké Spot is a small peninsula with rich flora that is an oasis in the middle of the desert. When the player is not battling here, this Poké Spot is circular and almost entirely surrounded by water. Bordering the edge of the Oasis Poké Spot is a circle of grass dotted with several rocks and five palm trees.

===Cave Poké Spot===
[[File:Cave Poké Spot XD.png|300px|thumb|Cave Poké Spot]]
Found in the northern portion of Orre, on the side of [[Mt. Battle]], this Poké Spot is a small area in a cavern full of stalagmites and stalactites. Similar to the other two Poké Spots, there is a platform in the center for the placement of Poké Snacks. Also, the player's first encounter with [[Miror B.]] is here.

Three Pokémon can be found here:

If the [[Miror Radar]] goes off, Miror B. may appear at a random Poké Spot, carrying a [[party|team]] including one or two [[Shadow Pokémon]] the player previously failed to [[Snagging|snag]]. Sometimes, however, instead of Miror B., just [[Trudly]] and [[Folly]] may be present.

==Trivia==
*Due to games set in Orre replacing the "Run" option in battle with "Call", it is impossible to run away from wild Pokémon except by using {{m|Teleport}}, or by forcing the wild Pokémon out of the battle via {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}.
**This is also the only circumstance in which Teleport can be successfully used in the Orre region.
**If a [[Fluffy Tail]] or [[Poké Doll]] is traded into the game, attempting to use it at any time, even in battle against a wild Pokémon, will prompt a message saying that the item's use is forbidden in the Orre region.
**[[Smoke Ball]]s still function as normal, however. If one is traded into the game and held by a Pokémon, that Pokémon can {{m|Teleport}} away from the battle, even if its opponent is a {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}.
*[[Shiny Pokémon]] that appear at Poké Spots will appear as Shiny in the overworld prior to the battle beginning. However, they will not sparkle at the beginning of the encounter like wild Shiny Pokémon do in other games.

The '''Pokéathlon Dome''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロンドーム''' ''Pokéthlon Dome'') is a location in [[Johto]], west of the {{rt|35|Johto}}. It is the place where [[Pokéathlon]] competitions are held.

Several things related to the Pokéathlon are available here, both inside and outside of the building.

This area remains locked before defeating [[Whitney]].

{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

==Outside==
Outside of the building, many Trainers can be seen with their Pokémon, practicing for the Pokéathlon's various competitions. A woman on the west side of the area will give away an [[Apriblender]] to those who have an [[Apricorn Box]], and afterwards, she will sell Aprijuice.

===Aprijuice Stand===
The Aprijuice Stand (Japanese: '''ボンドリンクショップ''' ''Bon Drink Shop'') sells a variety of different pre-made Aprijuice which change on a daily basis. By default there are five different drinks that are sold from the three machines lined up at the Aprijuice Shop each reflecting one Pokéathlon Performance stat. When the {{player}} plays the Pokéathlon over wireless play, then the default drinks will be replaced with the drinks of the opposing player. The price of the drinks are determined on how famous the Trainers selling them are.

===Data Card Shop===
[[Data Card]]s can be purchased from the central reception desk located directly in front of the Pokéathlon entrance.

===Basement===
In the basement, there are four rooms where information about the player's Pokémon can be seen, most of which can only be accessed by doing certain achievements in the Pokéathlon.

====Solidarity Room====
In this room, the player can see his or her point records in every course, and which Pokémon team was used to obtain each record.

Having a score of at least 420 in any course will display a Collective trophy (in the form of a crown) next to that course's medal. A score of 450 or higher will display two Collective trophies.

====Trust Room====
''Unlocked by earning all five course medals (it doesn't have to be with the same team).''

In this room, the player can see all the medals obtained for each individual Pokémon species. A species who has all five medals is considered to be a Medalist Pokémon.

A Trust trophy is obtained by getting a certain number of Pokémon species to Medalist status. The player gets such a trophy upon reaching 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 different Medalist Pokémon, for a total of ten trophies.

Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
* Dash 5,000 times ''(golden [[Running Shoes]])''
* Join the Pokéathlon 50 times ''(golden track suit)''
* Switch 200 times ''(red flag)''

====Potential Room====
''Unlocked by having at least one Medalist Pokémon.''

In this room, the player can see a top five list of scores in each event (including "default" ones not set by the player), and the Pokémon used to obtain the event. Any default ones are seen as achieved by the three Johto starters. Scores obtained while playing in Link mode can also be viewed here, though they are kept separately from the single-player scores and cannot be used to unlock the Friendship room, the Trainer Star, or Potential trophies. The player can also see how many times they have played each event in single-player or link mode.

The table below gives viewers the default first place records one needs to beat, as well as the mastery record that unlocks a Potential trophy for that event. In addition, getting the first place record on every event here will increase the [[Trainer Card level|level]] of the {{ga|Trainer Card}}. Note that the first place records must be ''beaten'', not merely tied, in contrast to the mastery records.

Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
* Win first on the Pokéathlon 100 times ''(golden [[Pokégear]])''
* Win first place on every Pokéathlon event 50 times ''(model Poké Ball with the engraving, "Stay on Top")''

====Friendship Room====
''Unlocked by beating all the preset first records seen in the Potential Room.''

This room simply has a golden statue of the player, as well as statues of the last Pokémon team the player won the Pokéathlon with.

If the player checks their statue, they'll see their global Pokéathlon Score, as well as their global Pokéathlon Trophy count.

The global Pokéathlon score is calculated as the sum of the player's best final score in each of the five courses, the player's highest score for each of the ten individual events (after conversion to Athlete Points), and the total number of medals displayed in the box in the Trust room (so each Medalist species will add five to this total).

As the global Pokéathlon score increases past certain milestones, the player is awarded Friendship trophies. The tenth Friendship trophy is obtained at 4,500 points.

[[File:Pokeathlon Dome Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Pokéathlon Dome in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
{{adv|Gold}} took part in all the Courses in the Pokéathlon Dome, and won in all of them, even surpassing the [[Elite Four]] in the Power Course. It was afterwards revealed that Gold was supposed to meet up with [[Lance]] at the Pokéathlon Dome in order to receive information about {{adv|Arceus}}. Unfortunately, Lance was ambushed and defeated by [[Petrel]] en route, and only [[Lance's Dragonite]] made it to the Dome, where it started rampaging due to lacking its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to give it orders. It was eventually stopped by Gold's [[Togebo]].

Later on, Lance revealed that he had chosen the Pokéathlon Dome as the meeting place in order to show Arceus how hard humans and Pokémon can work together.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*The in-game map gives the impression that the Pokéathlon Dome is completely inland, despite the fact that both the overworld and the official map of Johto released for HeartGold and SoulSilver show that it is surrounded by water on three sides.

Shoddy Battle

UnethicalVoxel: /* Affiliation with Smogon */

'''Shoddy Battle''' is a free online Pokémon battle simulator developed in Java Version 6. It incorporates a forum and a team builder into one program, free to download for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux.

== Development ==
Shoddy Battle is primarily developed using Java by Cathy and Bearzly, though it is noted that the Shoddy Battle 2 server will be written in C++.

== Releases ==
=== Version 1.7 ===
* ''Release Date: September 19th, 2008''
This is the current version of Shoddy Battle. This latest update added battle mechanics updates to correspond with [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

=== Version 2.0 (Pokémon Lab) ===
* ''Release Date: Late 2009''
On April 27th, 2009, Cathy (lead developer of Shoddy Battle) announced plans for Shoddy Battle 2. This was a major code change and mechanics upgrade to the application allowing for features such as [[Double Battle]]s, improved networking and multiple language support. The server code was developed in C++ as opposed to the Java-based server that existed.

It was noted that bugs and issues with versions before 2.0 would be no longer be fixed by the developers, effectively leaving its Java-based development to [[Pokénet]], an open-source Pokémon MMORPG which had used Shoddy Battle for its battle system.

Shoddy Battle 2 would be released as Pokémon Lab in September 2010.

== Affiliation with Smogon ==
On April 24th, 2009, Shoddy Battle announced that they were affiliating with [[Smogon|Smogon University]]. This led to their forums being replaced by a dedicated section on the Smogon Forums. However, starting on July 2, 2012, Smogon became affiliated with [[Pokémon Showdown]] instead.

Pokémon NetBattle

UnethicalVoxel: /* NetBattle Supremacy */

[[File:NetBattle logo.png|frame|right|Pokémon NetBattle logo]]

'''Pokémon NetBattle''' was an online [[Pokémon battle]] simulator that covered the first three generations for competitive play. Its successor, NetBattle Supremacy, added further support and allowed the use of Pokémon from the fourth generation.

==NetBattle==
The program allows users to construct a team of Pokémon from the first three generations for competitive play. As a battle simulator, it allowed players to choose the known moves, [[Held item|held item]], [[Individual values|IVs]], [[Effort values|EVs]], [[Nature]], [[Shiny Pokémon|coloration]], and [[Ability]] for their team. All Pokémon are assumed to be level 100 and any moves that can possibly be learned by that Pokémon are permitted. The program includes numerous helpful features, such as searchable [[Pokédex]], moves and Abilities lists, a compatibility guide for Pokémon, and a table of [[Type|weaknesses and resistances]]. It supports both [[Double Battle]]s and a Stadium Mode, in which only three Pokémon from each team are used.

Also included are several "clauses," which are optional and limit the effectiveness of certain strategies. The Sleep Clause prevents more than one Pokémon from being asleep (excluding by {{m|Rest}}) on each team; likewise, a Freeze Clause prevents more than one Pokémon from being frozen on each team. The Self-KO Clause causes self-destructive moves (like {{m|Destiny Bond}}) to automatically fail if used by the last Pokémon for that team, in order to prevent ties. It also causes the user of {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}} in a 1-on-1 situation to lose the match (normally this results in a tie).

NetBattle used to be extremely popular in 2004 to 2006. However, starting around late 2007 to early 2008, the program's popularity started to decrease due to the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

==NetBattle Supremacy==
On February 14, 2009, a newer version of NetBattle called NetBattle Supremacy was released by a programmer known as 'Bayleef'. NetBattle Supremacy added support for fourth generation Pokémon and features.

A '''Psychic''' (Japanese: '''サイキッカー''' ''Psychicer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They were originally only male, but in [[Generation III]], female Psychics started to appear. In [[Generation VI]], the Trainer class once again reverts to all male, having found a female counterpart in {{tc|Hex Maniac}}s. They appear as young men or young women levitating {{i|Poké Ball}}s with their psychokinetic powers.

When paired with {{tc|Black Belt}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}s.

They specialize in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and occasionally also use {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon from [[Generation III]] onward.

Despite the two working well as a team, they were unable to contend against the experienced Trainers and were knocked out.

A Psychic named [[Ricky]] appeared in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''. He is based on a Psychic named Bryce, who appeared in the [[Celestial Tower]] in the {{pkmn|games}}.

A large number of Psychics who train under [[Olympia]] appeared in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. They included {{OBP|Carrie|XY092}} and [[Charlene]].

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジバコイル''' ''Jibacoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magneton}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] (Generations {{gen|IV}} to {{gen|VII}}) or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]] ([[Generation VIII]]). It is the final form of {{p|Magnemite}}.

==Biology==
Magnezone is a robot-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a UFO. It's the result of {{p|Magneton}} leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field. The evolution is done on a molecular level, but despite this, scientists have failed at attempts to force it. Magnezone's body is wide and circular, similar to a disc or saucer, with a thin edge circling the diameter of its body. Its main eye is in the center, containing a large, red pupil. On each side of its body, it has a ball-shaped addition, with each side containing an eye, horseshoe magnet, and {{wp|Phillips head}} screw. These secondary eyes can move independently of its main eye, as shown in ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]''. On top of its head is a tall, thin, yellow rod, closely resembling an antenna, which it uses for certain attacks. Behind its body is a third horseshoe magnet, positioned like a tail.

Magnezone's evolution is theorized to have been caused by a special magnetic field that changed the molecular structure within its body. Magnezone is a seemingly-mechanical, genderless creature, but it has emotions, a way of reproducing, and the need for nourishment. With its magnets, it has the ability to control anti-gravity and float through the air at will. As seen in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]], Magnezone's anti-gravity is strong enough to carry humans with ease. Magnezone is rarely seen in the wild, but as seen in [[DP158|the anime]], Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial. However, it will rarely attack unless provoked. It flies through the night sky, often mistaken for a UFO sighting, though it seems to be receiving and sending signals from an unknown source and an unknown purpose. This leads some people to believe that Magnezone came from outer space and that it is being controlled by unknown beings.

==In the anime==
[[File:Team Rocket Magnezone.png|thumb|250px|Magnezone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Magnezone debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the ownership of [[Zero]]. Despite Zero's maniacal behavior, Magnezone was very loyal to him. Magnezone generally acted as a leader to Zero's army of Magnemite and Magneton.

A {{pkmn2|wild}} Magnezone appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', which also served as the species' main series debut; it battled nonstop with a {{p|Metagross}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena", a deep crater, was filled up with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

In ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'', ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', and ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', [[Barret]] often relied on a Magnezone for battling situations.

In ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]'', [[Belmondo]] used a Magnezone to battle {{an|Clemont}} and his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, but it was soon defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Magnezone appeared in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]', under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]] participant.

In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', six Magnezone fell under the control of {{TRT}}.

In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', {{al|Anna}} used a Magnezone to give her an aerial view of the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. In ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', it was used to fly around the arena during the [[Charjabug race]].

A Magnezone appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

In ''[[JN028|Sobbing Sobble!]]'', [[Jessie]] pulled a {{DL|Rocket Prize Master|Magnezone}} from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. She used it to battle {{Ash}} and [[Goh]], but they ended up blasting off.

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
Magnezone was used by a {{tc|Galactic Grunt}} that attacked [[Hiori]] and [[Rocco]] when they attempted to fly to the [[Team Galactic]] section base. In the air, it fought Hiori's {{p|Drifblim}}, but despite the type advantage, Magnezone and the Galactic Grunt were defeated by Hiori's quick thinking.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS349|Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone]]'', [[Cyrus]] has a Magnezone that evolved from a {{p|Magneton}} at [[Mt. Coronet]].

A Magnezone appeared in ''[[PAORAS16|Omega Alpha Adventure 16]]'', under the ownership of {{adv|Wally}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Magnezone appears on the Electric terrain of Pokémon Stadium 2.

====Trophy information====
''"A Magnet Area Pokémon. It's a Magneton that evolved in a special magnetic field at Mt. Coronet. Its appearance is quite different after it evolves, but it still has three round eyes. Its shape changes but not its type--it's still both an Electric and Steel type. It learns Magnet Rise, a technique that temporarily nullifies {{type|Ground}} attacks, a traditional weakness."''

* {{p|Magneton}} cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a [[special magnetic field]].

==Trivia==
* As there is no special magnetic field in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to [[Evolution|evolve]] Magneton into a Magnezone in these games. The same applies for {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}. All have to be [[trade]]d from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained.
** Despite this, [[Gym Leader]]s [[Jasmine]] and [[Lt. Surge]], who respectively used Magnemite and Magneton in their [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, inexplicably appear to have evolved them to Magnezone in their rematches.
* The colors on the ends of Magnezone's magnets can turn on and off at will, as seen in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and the 3D Pokémon games.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and later games, if Magnezone falls asleep, its central "eye" remains open. However, the outer eyes close.
* In the September 2013 [[Nintendo Direct#September 2013|Pokémon Direct]], Magnezone was mistakenly labeled as a [[Gender|female]] Pokémon, when it should be genderless. It was later corrected on the [http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/strategy/ official website].
* Despite most depictions of Magnezone showing they are able to float through the air, Magnezone does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. (From an in-universe standpoint, this might be because Magnezone levitates via magnetism, this means that it stays at a constant elevation from the ground, meaning that it's susceptible to Ground type moves as it's to attack from underneath). However, Magnezone can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnezone (along with Probopass, Leafeon, and Glaceon) is one of four Pokémon in Pokémon GO that must be evolved while the player is within range of a Pokestop outfitted with a Lure Module (in this case, a Magnetic Lure Module)

===Origin===
Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolution line seem to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interaction}}s of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on {{wp|electromagnetic forming}} caused by {{wp|electromagnetic field}}s and combined with an objectification in the form of a {{wp|flying saucer}} or a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}}.

====Name origin====
Magnezone is a shortening and combination of ''magnetic zone'', an alternative name for a {{wp|magnetic field}}.

Jibacoil is a combination of 磁場 ''jiba'' (magnetic field) and ''coil'' (referring to an electromagnetic coil).

|location_name=Sky Pillar

}}
The '''Sky Pillar''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|空の柱|そらのはしら}}''' ''Sky Pillar'') is a building in [[Hoenn]]. It is located on the northern edge of {{rt|131|Hoenn}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{game|Emerald}}, and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. {{p|Rayquaza}} appears at the top of the Sky Pillar.

It includes the tower itself, as well as a cave with no wild encounters that is directly connected to Route 131. In the Generation III games, the land on top of the island the Sky Pillar is located on, which is traversed after exiting the cave but before entering the tower, is a part of the Sky Pillar; in the Generation VI games, this area is instead part of Route 131.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Sky Pillar does not appear on the [[Town Map]] until the {{player}} enters the cave, and cannot be {{m|Fly|flown}} to until the player enters the tower. Additionally, the tower is not visible while [[soaring in the sky]], but the island and the cave are and can be flown to.

Only those who are worthy, such as the [[Draconid people]] and the descendants of the original Sootopolitans, are permitted to enter the Sky Pillar.

==Role==
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the island on which Sky Pillar is located is blocked off by walls of rocks until the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]]. In Pokémon Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player can access the land in front of the Sky Pillar immediately, but cannot enter the cave in front of Sky Pillar until reaching a certain point in the storyline.

In Pokémon Emerald, during the conflict in [[Sootopolis City]] between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, [[Wallace]] and the player travel to Sky Pillar, where Wallace unlocks the door, in order to allow the player to meet {{p|Rayquaza}} at the top. Due to being accessed earlier, the wild Pokémon are at lower levels, and during this visit only, less of the floor is cracked such that the player does not need a [[Mach Bike]] to reach the top floor.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the entrance is blocked off by a {{tc|Furisode Girl}} until Wallace removes the seal during the [[Delta Episode]]. He will not do so until the player asks for his help while he is admiring the great tree in [[Sootopolis City]] in front of the [[Cave of Origin]]. If the player did not catch {{p|Deoxys}} at the edge of space during the [[Delta Episode]], after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again, Deoxys can be encountered at the summit of the Sky Pillar, along with its triangular shard.

===Delta Episode===
During the [[Delta Episode]], after the player asks for Wallace's help while he is admiring the great tree in [[Sootopolis City]] in front of the [[Cave of Origin]], he will open the seal to the Sky Pillar on Route 131. However, he does not allow the player to enter until the player defeats him again.

While climbing the tower, [[Zinnia]] will tell the player the player about the history of the [[Draconid people]]. At the summit, she summons Rayquaza by using the [[Key Stone]]s she gathered. She then tries to have it Mega Evolve using her Mega Anklet, but Rayquaza is unable. Rayquaza tells Zinnia that it is not a lack of the human energy from Key Stones that is preventing it from Mega Evolving, but its own lack of energy. The [[Meteorite]] in the player's [[Bag]] then begins to glow, alerting Zinnia to its presence, who explains that it has the same kind of energy as [[Mega Stone]]s. Rayquaza then eats the Meteorite from the player's Bag.

With Rayquaza having regained its power, the player must capture Rayquaza to take control of it and save the world; if the player [[escape|runs away]], defeats Rayquaza or is defeated, Rayquaza will remain and be ready for battle again fully healed (its [[Nature]] and {{IV}}s reset each time). If the player has no [[Poké Ball]]s, Zinnia will give the player an [[Ultra Ball]].

After the player successfully captures Rayquaza, they must place it in their party; if they have six Pokémon, they must send one to the [[PC]]. Then, Zinnia restores the player's Pokémon to full health and teaches Rayquaza {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, replacing {{m|Fly}}. She then challenges the player to a battle to prove their worthiness.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle with Zinnia, the player then puts on the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Mega Rayquaza to the edge of space. Mega Rayquaza flies right through the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]], shattering it completely. However, one triangular piece remains, from which {{p|Deoxys}} emerges. It then charges at the player and Rayquaza in rage. After the battle with Deoxys, the player returns to the planet, having thwarted the danger imposed by the asteroid.

==Geography==
In [[Generation III]] (except the player's first visit in Emerald), {{player}}s must have the [[Mach Bike]] in order to navigate through it fully, as there are [[Hole#Generation III|cracked tiles]] on 2F and 4F. On every other floor, there are wild Pokémon, such that only floors without cracked tiles contain wild Pokémon.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, while there are many holes in the floor and cracks in the floor tiles, the player cannot fall down; the player does not need the Mach Bike, and in fact cannot cycle at all inside the tower. The tower contains a series of ladders which must be climbed to reach the summit. An extremely tall mural painted by the [[Draconid people]] that stretches the height of the tower tells the tale of Rayquaza halting the fight between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} and the first [[Mega Evolution]]. The Draconid people call the top of the tower the Dragonhark altar.

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Sky Pillar first appeared in ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]''. The pillar itself is a 50-floor-tall tower with a variety of [[wild Pokémon]] living inside. The 50th and last floor is a large puzzle that requires the combined efforts of an adult and child to solve it. Those that solve it will gain access to the room where {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} sleeps.

{{adv|Wally}} was taken to the Sky Pillar by [[Norman]] in order to find and awaken Rayquaza. After traversing its floors and solving the puzzle with Norman, Wally succeeded in the given task. Norman then took Rayquaza to try and stop the battle between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} in [[Sootopolis City]].

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} traveled to the Sky Pillar by [[Soaring in the sky|soaring]] through the skies. There, they encountered [[Zinnia]], who attacked the two under the impression that they were intruding. During the battle, Ruby recognized [[Zinnia's Salamence]] as the same one that had attacked him and {{adv|Sapphire}} when they were little. After Zinnia had left, Ruby stayed at the tower to examine all 50 floors and take photos of the giant mural inside before leaving as well.

==Trivia==
* In Generation III, when stopping the [[bicycle]] on a certain section of cracked floor tiles on the second floor, it is possible to fall on top of a rock. However, it is possible to walk off the rock, so there is no risk of being stuck there.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Sky Pillar theme is a remix of the song that plays in Emerald when Rayquaza arrives to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight in Sootopolis City.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, even if Deoxys is caught during the [[Delta Episode]], its met location will still be listed as Sky Pillar.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the [[Memory Girl]] in [[Lilycove City]] will refer to Rayquaza and Deoxys's met location as "the inside of a tall building," despite the fact that these Pokémon aren't encountered inside the tower.

The '''Cave of Origin''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|目覚めのほこら|めざめのほこら}}''' ''{{wp|Hokora|Shrine}} of Awakening'') is a cave near the north end of [[Sootopolis City]]. It is guarded by [[Wallace]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] and is said to be the cave where life begins. Its opposite landmark is [[Mt. Pyre]], said to be the place where life ends.

Here, the {{player}} will discover {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} after an encounter at the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and a face-off against [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

Residents of Sootopolis are not permitted to enter the Cave of Origin.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the Cave of Origin is where Wallace can be found debating where {{p|Rayquaza}} [[Sky Pillar|is located]], until the player gives him a hint that it is at the Sky Pillar. However, the player cannot enter the cave, even after awakening Rayquaza.

==In the anime==
The Cave of Origin was mentioned in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]''. A group of [[Team Magma]] members led by [[Tabitha]], and a group of [[Team Aqua]] members led by [[Shelly]], initially mistook a set of ruins on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]] for the Cave of Origin. When they failed to find what they were looking for from the ruins, they understood their mistake and left.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can reenter the cave after capturing or defeating Groudon/Kyogre. In {{game|Emerald}}, the entrance is blocked for the rest of the game after awakening Rayquaza in Sky Pillar.
* In Ruby and Sapphire, the cave is dark but can be illuminated by {{m|Flash}}. In other games, the cave is normally lit.
* Although the Cave of Origin was reduced in size for {{game|Emerald}}, data for the removed floors still exists in the game's code.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], certain Pokémon are said to be found in the Cave of Origin. These include {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Miltank}}, and {{p|Shuckle}}. The guide likely meant to say [[Altering Cave]], which can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen, but these Pokémon can only be found there with an event distribution that was never distributed.
* In the Generation III games, no background music plays on the bottom floor of this cave. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the only other area in the game that shares this distinction is the [[Inside of Truck]]. (In Pokémon Emerald, [[Birth Island]] also has no background music.)
** As a result, if a Pokémon evolves or an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatches here in these games, the evolution background music will play on the floor until the player leaves.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's [[PokéNav Plus]] will be unusable in the bottom floor due to electrical interference from the intense natural energy in the room.

Talk:Melmetal (Pokémon)

2021-07-26T19:41:52Z

UnethicalVoxel:

==Image==

Should we use a temporary screenshot of Melmetal since we don't have its actual artwork? I think it wold be better than no image at all. '''Ice''' [[User talk:The IceCream|Cream]] 15:02, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
:Never Mind '''Ice''' [[User talk:The IceCream|Cream]] 18:07, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

== Something to add ==

Add something in the trivia section: Melmetal and its {{p|Meltan|pre-evolution}} are the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that are part of an evolutionary line. [[User:Wrrasba|Wrrasba]] ([[User talk:Wrrasba|talk]]) 15:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
: Despite being disputed; there is Manaphy and Phione too so I do not think that should be added at this time. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 13:27, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:: I'd argue that Manaphy and Phione aren't in an evolution line. They are related by breeding, but neither Meltan nor Melmetal can be bred, and Phione does not evolve into Manaphy. If you're being technical, Manaphy and Phione are related by breeding and Meltan and Melmetal are related by evolution. [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 20:27, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

== Evolution Method? ==

It is mentioned in The Two Professors videos that when a group of {{p|Meltan|pre-evolution}} come together, they can form Melmetal. Can that be mentioned as an evolution method? --[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] ([[User talk:Pokemon26|talk]]) 16:41, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
:No because it doesn't mention how they evolve in game. It's like with Magnemite. '''Ice''' [[User talk:The IceCream|Cream]] 18:08, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
::Or Beldum. [[User:JaxomNC|JaxomNC]] ([[User talk:JaxomNC|talk]]) 22:20, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

== Mythical Pokémon Distinction ==

Would Melmetal and Meltan count along side Magearna as the only Mythical Pokémon that can be obtained indefinitely through events not limited? As they Mythical Pokemon can be obtained at any time and not a limited time event like the other Mythical Pokemon and the special case with Deoxys for example. I just noticed that today.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 03:13, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
:There's others too, like Celebi from VC Crystal, Jirachi from the colosseum bonus disk/Channel, Mew from Ranch, Manaphy from Ranger (kinda)(and then of course there's Phione...) To get multiple of Meltan you need a side game so it's more like Manaphy/Mew/Jirachi, and not comparable to Deoxys/Celebi/Magearna. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - literally it doesn't stand for anything]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

== Introduced in Let's Go or Go? ==

Given that this will only be available through Go, is it correct to say it was introduced in Let's Go when the first game obtainable will be Go?[[User:Jmvb|JMVB - literally it doesn't stand for anything]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:40, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

:If you're considering Main-Series games, then stick with Let's Go. '''Ice''' [[User talk:The IceCream|Cream]] 09:15, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

== but abilities don't exist in the games melmetal is available ==

so how can it have an ability? [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 02:28, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
:Abilities are still coded into the Let's Go games even if they aren't actually used. When they first started looking into the coding for those games, Meltan and Melmetal's Abilities were pretty much the first thing they discovered, if memory serves. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 02:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

=="Used to create unique metal tools"==
Is there a source for this line? I can't find a mention of this usage specifically. [[User:UnethicalVoxel|UnethicalVoxel]] ([[User talk:UnethicalVoxel|talk]]) 19:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

==Blurb==

Near Mr. Coronet, Ash and his friends come across Pokémon Hunter J's goons trying to snag a group of wild Shieldon. Ash is about to come to their rescue, but his old friend and rival Gary gets there first with his Electivire. Once the men are gone, Gary explains that he's here in Sinnoh as part of a project to turn the area into a nature preserve for the Shieldon. Now that J's men are looking to kidnap them, Gary decides to move all the Shieldon to a safer location, and our heroes decide to help.

Pokémon Hunter J's minions aren't about to leave a valuable prize alone, and it's not long before they show up again to capture the Shieldon. Ash is ready to give J's men the battle of their lives, but Gary doesn't want to risk getting into a fight that could injure the Shieldon. Instead, Gary stirs up a Beedrill nest, and the angry Beedrill keep the minions distracted so our heroes can make a getaway.

As Gary and Ash lead the Shieldon on a perilous escape route across nearby cliffs, Pokémon Hunter J figures out where they're headed and shows up on her Salamence to steal the Shieldon herself. Despite Gary and Ash's best efforts to hold her off so Dawn and Brock can get the Pokémon to safety, J still manages to snag one Shieldon and escape. Determined to put a stop to her crimes, Gary and Ash sneak back to her base and bust their way through in order to get Shieldon back. J is about to take them on when she gets word that her original client no longer wants to purchase the Shieldon; with no money on the line, she's no longer interested in the Shieldon and immediately leaves. The Shieldon are safe again, but who knows where J will strike next?

==Plot==
At [[Mt. Coronet]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} encounter a {{p|Shieldon}}. Just then, a vehicle containing [[J's henchmen]] appears. Ash tells his {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The henchman responds by sending {{p|Golbat}} which avoids Pikachu's attack and hits him with {{m|Wing Attack}}.

Suddenly, {{Gary}} appears with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, which hits J's henchmen with an Electric attack. Electivire picks up Shieldon and runs away along with Gary and the group. As they are running Brock explains to Dawn that Gary was a [[rival]] of Ash’s. They soon arrive at a hidden area, where they are greeted by other wild Shieldon. Gary explains that he is part of a project that aims to make a part of Mt. Coronet a Pokémon preserve. He then gets his laptop out of his [[bag|backpack]] and contacts [[Professor Rowan]], telling him about the Pokémon hunters. The Professor orders Gary to escort the Shieldon to a specified location, depicted on a digital map, where they will meet up. Ash offers to help and Gary agrees, thanking him.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} plots their revenge on J by stealing her collection of Pokémon. Suddenly, the same vehicle appears, and Electivire picks the Shieldon up and rushes off with them into the forest. Gary sends out his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, which uses {{m|Water Gun}} on the vehicle. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and stops the vehicle. The same henchman from earlier emerges and sends out Golbat, which knocks out Blastoise. Gary sends out {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} which uses {{m|Sand-Attack}} on Golbat. It responds by using {{m|Air Cutter}}, but Umbreon dodges the attack which instead hits a tree, causing a swarm of angry {{p|Beedrill}} to come out. Gary [[recall]]s Umbreon and Blastoise, and the Beedrill head for the henchmen. Then, the group escapes.

Later, J talks with a client about the Shieldon. Then she gives instructions to move on out and surround the area. Ash and the group are forced to hide among the shrubs from the henchmen. Ash suggests they attack, but Gary calls this idea reckless and suggests they focus on protecting the Shieldon. Gary takes his laptop out to plan a new route. They traverse a steep mountain trail by walking along the rock face. One of the Shieldon panics and almost falls down dragging the others with it before Ash quickly grabs them by their rope. With the help of the others they manage to pull the Shieldon back up.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is sneaking into J's base when a surveillance camera spots them. They start to recite their {{motto}}, but the henchman interrupts when he activates some trap walls. J, meanwhile, flies down on her {{TP|J|Salamence}} and greets her goons on the ground. From the base, one of her henchman alerts J through her headset that a vehicle, carrying Professor Rowan and his lab assistants, has been spotted near Mt. Coronet. J deduces that it must be an arranged meeting, and promptly flies over to the vicinity. Having just received an update from Rowan that he and [[Officer Jenny]] are closeby, Gary is taken by surprise to see Hunter J. She attempts to use her capture device but Pikachu stops her with {{m|Iron Tail}}. She responds by sending out {{TP|J|Drapion}} which uses {{m|Cross Poison}} on Pikachu. Gary sends out Blastoise again which uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, but Salamence counters with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. As Dawn and Brock are escaping with the Shieldon, one of the Pokémon slips and falls, leaving it exposed to J, who uses her capture device on it. After witnessing this, Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt but Drapion blocks it. Then J orders Drapion to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and Salamence to use Hyper Beam. Ash responds ordering Pikachu to use Thunderbolt while Gary has Blastoise use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but J's Pokémon's attacks overwhelm theirs.

Next, Brock, Dawn and the Shieldon meet up with Professor Rowan, his assistants and Officer Jenny. They inform the Professor that one of the Shieldon was captured by J. Meanwhile, J takes possession of the captured Shieldon and enters the vehicle while Ash and Gary hold onto the undercarriage. The vehicle arrives at the base, and Ash sends out {{AP|Staravia}} which flies away, unseen by J, to find the others. The vehicle then enters the base while J's client in a helicopter is seen preparing to land. Inside the base, Ash and Gary use their Pokémon to sabotage the base freeing Team Rocket in the process. An explosion occurs and Ash jumps out of the smoke grabbing Shieldon and unfreezing it. As J prepares to call out one of her Pokémon, the client informs her the deal is off to avoid being arrested, as Officer Jenny is nearby. J and her henchmen also withdraw. Rowan, Jenny, Brock and Dawn arrive. Officer Jenny is glad the Shieldon are now safe, and adds that she will launch a full investigation into Hunter J. Gary thanks Ash for his help, telling him that they'll be friends to the end. Later, the group says goodbye to Gary, Jenny, and Rowan as they depart on their road.

==Trivia==
* This episode's English dub title is a pun on the 1997 drama film ''{{wp|Good Will Hunting}}''. It shares this trait with [[EP141|an earlier episode]].
* Music from ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'' and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' are used as background music.
* {{an|Dawn}} assumes that {{Gary}} writes Pokémon senryū, just like his grandfather.
* This is the first time [[Gary's Umbreon]] uses an offensive [[move]] that isn't {{t|Normal}}-type.
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]]: {{p|Cherubi}}
** Pokémon senryū: チェリンボが　おひさまあびて　あかくなり ''Cherinbo ga, ohisama abite, akaku nari.'' "{{tt|Cherinbo|Cherubi}}, it plays in the sun and, it turns red."
* Dawn narrates the preview for [[DP046|the next episode]].
* Exactly [[DP085|40 episodes later]], Gary appears in [[Sinnoh]] again. Coincidentally, during both of the times Gary has reappeared, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were on their way to [[Hearthome City]].
* This is one of the few episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' where [[Dawn's Piplup]] does not appear.
* {{TRT}} doesn't blast off in this episode.

===Errors===
* When Ash, Gary, {{an|Brock}}, and Dawn are hiding from the thieves in the forest, Gary uses his laptop to see where the thieves are. He closes his laptop, but in the next shot, it is open again without the click heard before.
* A {{p|Golbat}} belonging to one of [[J's henchmen]] gets affected by Gary's Umbreon's {{m|Sand-Attack}} despite the attack being a {{t|Ground}} type and Golbat being a {{t|Flying}} type.
* In the Hindi dub, Gary repeatedly calls Professor Rowan his grandfather.

===Dub edits===
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, when J's client escapes by helicopter, [[J]] is depicted as much more angry than in the original version:
** Instead of saying ''"Contract breaker..."'' to her client, in the dub, she yells and says ''"{{tt|¡Eres un cobarde!|You are a coward!}}"''.
** Then, when she talks to [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], the line ''"We have no more business here. Withdraw at once!"'' was changed to ''"{{tt|¡No hay nada que hacer! ¡¡Váyanse a {{wp|Digimon}}, inútiles!!|There's nothing to do! Get out and go to Digimon, you useless!!}}.
*** The henchmen scream ''"¡No!"'' in a worried and frightened way instead of ''"Sir!"'', in reference to what she said.
*** Another reference to the ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' franchise happens again in the dub of ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]''.
* In the English dub, Ash says he will show no mercy and that he will put an end to Hunter J's evil activities. In the original Japanese version, he says he cannot forgive her or her henchmen.
* In the English dub, when Ash and Gary say goodbye to each other, Gary says that they will be best friends until the end. In the original Japanese version, Gary expresses his hopes that they meet somewhere in the Sinnoh region again.

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is resurrected from an [[Old Amber]], and while it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
Aerodactyl is a pterosaurian, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with several draconic features. It has large, membranous wings, as well as small, sharply pointed ears, narrow eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-grey skin with violet wing membranes. Aerodactyl's wings consist of a membrane running from the side of the body to the tip of an elongated finger. The clawed hands at the end of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a spike on its back, and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl's serrated fangs and ferocious attitude were nevertheless very imposing, and it is said to be have been capable of effortlessly ripping out enemies' throats. These fangs can also tear through any skin of a Pokémon to pieces, especially {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. It liked to nest in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion.

As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn green and the body begins to turn to stone, which some researchers believe was its original appearance before fossilization. It grows larger in size and sprouts jagged black spikes all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before. As a result, Mega Aerodactyl attacks anything that moves.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Goh Aerodactyl.png|thumb|left|250px|Aerodactyl in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Mega Heracross Mega Aerodactyl anime.png|thumb|250px|Mega Aerodactyl in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', an Aerodactyl scared off the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped Ash, who was rescued by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}. {{Todd}} took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', an Aerodactyl was resurrected from a fossil alongside a {{pkmn2|giant}} Kabutops by {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]].

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s.
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form.
** It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil, or from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in [[Generation II]], as a gift in [[Generation VII]], and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in Generation II was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely due to the fact that the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[core series]] who is not a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|Dragon}} Egg group
** This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 ''yokuryū'') in Japanese, further explaining why it is called a "dragon" by an old man in [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base stat total of all Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Mega Aerodactyl has a unique base stat total of 615.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Generation I]] Rock-type Pokémon to not possess a 4× weakness to {{type|Grass}} moves.

===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on {{wp|Rhamphorhynchidae|rhamphorhynchids}}, a family of toothed {{wp|pterosaur}}s. However, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws also give it the resemblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl's name is a combination of ''aero'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') and ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera's name derives from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}''.

Talk:Pokémon nation

2021-07-19T22:37:29Z

UnethicalVoxel: /* Delete */

== Okay so ==

Isshu has caused this to have an issue. They're different countries. What do we call this one? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
:I'd wait until we get more info from the games. If Isshu uses the National Pokédex (and, more importantly, calls it the National Pokédex) then Isshu is still the same nation as the rest of the games. Just because it's far enough away from another place to use new numbers doesn't mean it's not in the same country. After all, there are 30 different cities in the United States with the name "Franklin". --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 18:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

===I'm gonna bring this up again===
Because it needs to be. If Kanto-Johto-Hoenn-Sinnoh does not receive a name in BW, then I propose we move this page to Kantohjoennoh. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
:Why not put (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) as a disambiguation for this one and (Isshu) for the other? The only problem would be the title length for the first one. Kantohjoennoh really just sounds weird imo. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 22:50, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
::Though TTE's would be funny, A's does seem more practical though it might need a link template. Who knows, they might pull a Gen I and not reveal the location's name until a later game set either in Poképan or Pokémerica.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 22:57, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

== Unova ==

Pokemon of Unova is part of "National Pokedex", isn't it?--[[User:Martianmister|Martianmister]] 00:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
:Honestly, if there's one thing about Unova that should be taken as given, that is the fact that it is located on a country other than Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sevii Islands and Sinnoh. It is extensively stated in the games, and it's been made a big deal about. "National" Pokédex is probably either a misinterpretation by Game Freak's part or a matter of tradition. Perhaps they thought it would be awkward to introduce an "International Pokédex" and rearrange the numbers in a more neutral way, and just as awkward to axe the current numbering, which has release time as the ordering variable. Maybe an International Pokédex without numbers as the ordering theme will be introduced (like the family ordering in FRLG), but even at this time, I personally don't see any reason to state Unova is on the same country as the other regions. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 15:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

== Kalos ==
Pokémon of Kalos also has National Pokédex numbers. I don't think the regions are one big nation. If Unova is stated to be far from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh and has a National Pokédex. I think this page is being too literal with "National Pokédex." It could have meant International Pokédex and Nintendo saw it as too long. Since Kalos is based on France which is far from the other regions, I'm not sure if this is one big nation or not. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 20:04, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
:I agree that having this entire page based on speculation about the word "national" is silly. (As a side note, I don't think it's so much a shortening of "international" as just a term that was used prior to non-Japan-based regions, and Nintendo probably just hasn't thought it important enough to bother changing it.) I've marked the page with the ''discussdelete'' tag. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:30, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
::I believe that the [[Pokémon World]] page is far more expansive and informative than this article will ever be. I too wouldn't mind if this article were deleted. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 03:36, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
:::I agree with Pokemaster fully. This page seems too speculative and redundant. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 03:57, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
::::It is apparently mentioned in Shudo's anime novelizations, so it's not entirely speculative. But yes, basing its existance on the name [[National Pokédex]] is dumb. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:22, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
:::::I suggest a merge with [[Pokémon world]] as well. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:31, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

== Merge ==

These pages should remain separated since they are not similar enough.
{{ani|475}} [[User:QwertyJacob750|QwertyJacob750]] ([[User talk:QwertyJacob750|talk]]) 20:55, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

== Delete ==

It was proposed quite a while ago that this page was either deleted or merged with [[Pokémon World]]. Having just taken a look at both articles, it seems as almost all useful information here is already there as well, so aside from one or another small topic here, the articles are already technically merged into Pokémon World. Considering this and the fact that having this article on its own is a lot of speculation and is now outdated (if not obsolete), there is no more real purpose to this page, and I support its deletion.

Just though of restarting this discussion because its been unsolved for a lot of time, and maybe we can help a final decision to be made. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 12:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. This page, along with [[Trio Master]], should be taken out and shot due to being nothing but fanon that can easily be added to other articles. The amount of hoop jumping and asterisks required to justify the page's existence is longer than the actually useful info. [[User:UnethicalVoxel|UnethicalVoxel]] ([[User talk:UnethicalVoxel|talk]]) 22:37, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

== "confirmed to be part of the Pokémon nation, as they all use the same National Pokédex listing." ==

well, Unova and Kalos also use said National Pokédex listing, so wouldn't that confirm those as part of said nation? [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 23:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
