==Synopsis==
As {{an|Dawn}}'s upcoming {{pkmn|Contest}} in [[Sandalstraw Town]] approaches, {{ashfr|the group}} stops at a local [[Pokémon Center]]. Dawn decides to {{pkmn|training|train}} and summons {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|all her Pokémon}}, knowing she only needs one more [[ribbon]] to enter the [[Grand Festival]]. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} runs forward and collapses, everyone asking if it is okay. Piplup tries to get up and falls again, concerning Dawn. [[Barry]] suddenly appears and crashes into {{Ash}} as usual. {{si|Kenny}} also appears and after calling Dawn Dee-Dee (much to her annoyance), asks if she's entering the Contest. Barry reveals that he also knows Kenny since they are both from [[Twinleaf Town]]. Kenny plans to enter the Contest while Barry decides to enter the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] which is also being held in Sandalstraw Town, showing Ash a flyer about it. [[Brock]] mentions that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and one of his or her [[Pokémon]] will partner up as a team to enter. Barry summons {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} in order to train, planning to enter with it. As everyone watches, Piplup starts to glow, causing Piplup to jump around. Kenny mentions that it is starting to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. Everyone's excited, but Piplup braces itself, stopping the evolution and exhausting Piplup to the point of collapse. Brock urges everyone to go to the Center.

At the Center, [[Nurse Joy]] checks Piplup as she reassures Dawn that Piplup only needs to rest. During dinner, Dawn mentions that it still surprised her that Piplup will evolve. Kenny tells Dawn it's no surprise considering how well she's raised it and Barry also congratulates Dawn on a good job but advises that the evolution path from Piplup to Empoleon only gets harder. Kenny then mentions that as Prinplup is double the size of Piplup, she'll have more to show off in contests while Ash mentions that she will need to adapt her battling style just as [[DP100|he adapted]] when {{p|Turtwig}} evolved into {{AP|Grotle}}. Although Ash is skeptical of Dawn mentioning her adaptation to {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}, Dawn is still excited, but Brock displays concern. Outside, [[Team Rocket]] listens in and decides to steal the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|Piplup evolutionary line]].

During the night, Piplup wakes up and looks at itself in the window's reflecton, imagining itself as Prinplup. Dawn comes up from behind and presents Piplup with {{pkmn|food}}, but it refuses. Dawn reveals her excitement for Piplup's evolution, but Piplup doesn't seem enthuisiastic as Dawn tries to reassure Piplup. Piplup jumps around as it begins to glow again, the evolution process starting. Dawn tries to get Piplup just let the evolution happen, but Piplup uses {{m|Bide}} to stop evolving, exhausting it. Dawn questions Piplup's motives and brings up the positives of evolution, but Piplup gets angry that Dawn appears to be ignoring its unwillingness to evolve and jumps out the window and flees the Center, prompting Dawn to follow. Barry and Empoleon pressure Brock, Kenny and Ash to train for the Ping-Pong tournament (despite the fact that Brock and Kenny don't plan to enter), but Dawn shows up and mentions her situation. Outside, Brock mentions his concerns that Piplup does not want to evolve, using Bide to stop evolution and expend energy. Everyone splits up to search as Kenny summons {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} to help search. As Dawn searches on her own, she spots a light in the forest.

Piplup sits under a waterfall, stopping its evolution but collapses into the water. Dawn arrives and picks up Piplup, questioning its reason to not evolve. Piplup gets angry again and jumps out of Dawn's hands before firing {{m|BubbleBeam}} and running off. Dawn searches as she spots Piplup stuck in a web. She runs forward as an {{p|Ariados}} atacks her with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. While she dodges, Piplup uses BubbleBeam to stall Ariados. Dawn runs forward as another Sludge Bomb grazes the top of her head, causing her to trip. The attack frees Piplup and sends it airborne, but Dawn quickly catches Piplup. However, multiple Ariados confront the two and all prepare to fire {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Just before the [[Move|attacks]] hit, Piplup jumps forward and uses Bide to take the attacks before retailiating, sending all the Araiados flying. Piplup collapses exhausted as Dawn picks up Piplup.

As Barry and Kenny continue searching, a {{m|Bullet Seed}} attack knocks down Prinplup and Empoleon before two mecha arms grab them. Empoleon and Prinplup try to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and BubbleBeam, but the hands spin and disorient them as Kenny and Barry notice a large [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Meanwhile, Dawn carries Piplup to a lake as Piplup wakes up, Dawn thanking her Pokémon. Dawn mentions how [[DP001|a similar situation occured]] when they first met and how Dawn [[Starter Pokémon|chose Piplup]]. Ash and Brock find Dawn and are relieved that they're okay. Suddenly, another mecha arm grabs Piplup as a giant Prinplup mecha shows up, revealing the captured Piplup evolutionary line. Team Rocket recites [[Team Rocket mottos|their motto]] but Barry cuts them off. Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} fire {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the mecha redirects the attack to harm Prinplup and Empoleon.

The mecha deploys tank treads and proceeds to escape, but Dawn spots Piplup and decides to run after it, getting on the side. Dawn notices a hatch up top and gets in that way. While Dawn demands her Pokémon back, Piplup destroys the ventilation gates with {{m|Peck}} and BubbleBeam, getting into the control room with Dawn. {{MTR}} {{pkmn2|Talking|translates}} Piplup's talk as it plans to take them down and that it wants to protect Dawn just like the first time, revealing that past events have motivated it to stay the way it is. Dawn accepts Piplup's decision and has it attack with {{m|Whirlpool}}, destroying the mecha and freeing everyone. Outside, Team Rocket gets up and summons {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. They attack with {{m|Poison Tail}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Piplup's BubbleBeam stops both in their tracks. Piplup starts to glow again as it tries to stop evolution, leaving it vulnerable. [[James]] wants Piplup to not evolve to maintain the family, but [[Jessie]] opts to let it and instead present the boss with Empoleon triplets. Seviper and Carnivine rush to attack the defenseless Piplup, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt stops both Pokémon, Ash and the others arriving on site. Piplup is stil immobile as Seviper and Carnivine attack again with Bullet Seed and Poison Tail, but Pikachu defends with Thunderbolt. Piplup manages to stop evolving and attacks with Whrilpool, sending Team Rocket flying away.

Dawn thanks Piplup for saving her again, and realises that Piplup's memory of their first day together is why it wants to stay as it is, and tearfully apologises to her Pokémon for not understanding its feelings. Piplup tells Dawn that it's ok and with her friends watching on, Dawn happily picks up her partner and best friend telling it she's happy for it to remain as her Piplup forever which delights Piplup, and the two reaffirm their bond together.

At the Center, Nurse Joy finishes tending to Piplup, Prinplup and Empoleon and three happily run to their respective trainers. Nurse Joy then tells Dawn she has something for her, and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} presents Dawn with an {{evostone|Everstone}}, which has the power to prevent a Pokémon from ever evolving. Dawn and Piplup gratfully accept the gift, knowing this means Piplup won't have to use Bide to prevent the evolution anymore. With the excitement over for now, Ash and Barry start training for the Ping Pong competition while Dawn and Kenny practice for the upcoming Sandalstraw Contest, with friendships restored and bonds deeper than ever before.

'''Victory Road''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオンロード''' ''Champion Road'') is the final journey one must take before they can face the [[Elite Four]]. Like the other Victory Roads from previous generations, there are three levels. In order to get through the cave, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}} are required.

After the Elite Four have been defeated, and the player has become the Champion and has the [[National Pokédex]], a previously-blocked path will be open, which leads to {{rt|224}}. Along the path, a young woman named [[Marley]] will need the player's help to get through a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of the cave.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the entrance to the cave was only one tile wide; this was increased to five in {{game|Platinum}} with a small [[Poké Ball]] carving overhead.

'''Victory Road''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオンロード''' ''Champion Road'') is the final journey one must take before they can face the [[Elite Four]]. Like the other Victory Roads from previous generations, there are three levels. In order to get through the cave, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}} are required.

After the Elite Four have been defeated, and the player has become the Champion and has the [[National Pokédex]], a previously-blocked path will be open, which leads to {{rt|224}}. Along the path, a young woman named [[Marley]] will need the player's help to get through a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of the cave.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the entrance to the cave was only one tile wide; this was increased to five in {{game|Platinum}} with a small [[Poké Ball]] carving overhead.

==Items==
* {{TM|41|Torment}}
* [[Status ailment healing item#Full Heal|Full Heal]]
* [[Max Ether]]
* [[Full Restore]]
* {{TM|71|Stone Edge}}
* [[Rare Candy]]
* {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}
* [[Razor Claw]]
* {{TM|79|Dark Pulse}}
===Found In Platinum===
* [[Max Repel]]
* [[Nugget]]: (Hidden)
* [[Max Elixir]]
* [[Ultra Ball]]

===After obtaining [[National Pokédex]]===
* {{evostone|Dusk Stone}}
* {{DL|Ether|Elixir}}
* [[Big Pearl]]
* [[Leftovers]]
* [[Nugget]]: in an empty ground spot, surfing north-east right after entering the previously blocked area (hidden)

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Munchlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|Happiness]].

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[PokéGear]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw incredibly powerful punches and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax is not very picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible. They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of Bananas found in grasslands.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]

Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.

In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands|Grapefruit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.

''[[H012|Training Daze]]'' featured a [[Alternate coloration|red]] Snorlax which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, while competing with [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]], and {{TR|Raticate}}, were sent to steal in order to become official Team Rocket field agents. The Snorlax turned out to be [[Viper]], the Team Rocket Academy Drill Sergeant in disguise.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcell's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcell made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.

A Snorlax also appeared near the end of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', evolving from {{p|Munchlax}} in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', a Snorlax made a cameo as one of {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}'s pets.

[[Roman]], who appeared in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', owns a Snorlax.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Red}} caught a [[Lax (Special)|Snorlax]] on [[Route 17|Cycling Road]].

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Snorlax Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.

====Trophy information====
Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Mountain Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was later out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
* Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but can't naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]].
* There is no sprite in which Snorlax is shown standing up or with its eyes open. Also, its [[Generation IV]] sprites are the only ones which show it sitting up instead of lying down.
* At 110, Snorlax and {{p|Dodrio}} have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all [[Generation I]] Normal-types.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass.
* Though Snorlax appears to be dark blue or green in color, it belongs to the [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|black color group]].

===Origin===
It may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s.
====Name origin====
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relaxo - From ''relax''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ronflex - From ''ronfler'' (snore).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잠만보 ''Jammanbo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 卡比兽

'''Saturn''' (Japanese: '''サターン''' ''Saturn'') is one of [[Team Galactic]]'s four [[Commander]]s in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Saturn anime.jpg|left|thumb|240px|Saturn in the {{pkmn|anime}}.]]

Saturn made his first appearance at the ending of ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was a brief appearance at the end of the episode. He, along with the other Team Galactic Grunts, commented that [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} did a lousy job at stealing the Adamant Orb for them, and framing [[Nando]] for the crime.

Saturn later reappeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', along with his {{p|Bronzor}}. He managed to steal a cube that was under the guard of the {{p|Unown}} of the [[Solaceon Ruins]] and brought it with him back to the [[Team Galactic HQ]].

Saturn appeared again in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', with the cube he obtained in [[Solaceon Ruins]], which he exposed to the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]], transforming it into the [[Spear Key]]. Later, he and a few Galactic Grunts went to go steal the meteorites, but ended up meeting {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} for the first time. He also battles [[Brock]] and his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} with his own {{TP|Saturn|Toxicroak}}, but it ends in a draw, as Team Galactic retreats and fails their mission.

He appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', along with [[Cyrus]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Mars]]. They stole the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}} and the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}} from the [[Celestic Town]] Historical Research Center.

He reappeared with [[Cyrus]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Charon]] in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' where he was put in charge of excavation of the [[Spear Pillar]] from [[Mt. Coronet]].

==In the games==
Saturn is first seen leading the efforts of Team Galactic at [[Lake Valor]] near [[Pastoria City]]. He battles the {{player}} inside {{p|Azelf}}'s cave and reveals that [[Mars]] is at [[Lake Verity]].

After the events at the [[Spear Pillar]] (which Saturn was not present for), he can be found in the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]], contemplating what direction to take Team Galactic in after [[Cyrus]] has disappeared; he was apparently never aware of Cyrus's grander plot. However, he learned that "extremism is never the solution".

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Saturn's role in [[Team Galactic]] is to raise funds for their projects and he has the permission of [[Cyrus]] to use any means he feels necessary. Saturn decided to kidnap {{Special|Platinum}} for a ransom, as she is the daughter of the wealthiest family in [[Sinnoh]], but his attack at the [[Lost Tower]] was thwarted by her real bodyguards. Furious, Saturn told his grunts to block {{rt|210}} and force her to visit [[Veilstone City]] so that he can have his revenge.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===

Saturn first appeared in the ruins of [[Celestic Town]] along with [[Jupiter]] and [[Cyrus]]. He battled [[Mitsumi]] while [[Hareta]] pursued his leader.

Just like in the games, Saturn was assigned to [[Lake Valor]] to capture {{p|Azelf}}. At the lake, Hareta and Saturn battled; Saturn initially had the upper hand using his {{p|Gallade}} but Hareta was able to turn the tide. After both his Gallade and {{p|Rhyperior}} were defeated, Saturn was fired from Team Galactic by Cyrus, but earned a second chance by using a [[Revive]] on Rhyperior so Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}} would not lose to Hareta.

After the events at the [[Spear Pillar]], Saturn appeared to have broken away from the newly-formed Neo Team Galactic and its leader, [[Charon]]. He reappeared at [[Canalave Library]] in an attempt to exact revenge on Hareta, but failed, and promised to attack again at the [[Galactic Veilstone Building]].

==Trivia==
*Saturn is the only [[Team Galactic]] [[Commander]] whose Spanish name wasn't changed to correspond to a different planet; [[Jupiter]]'s and [[Mars]]'s names were changed to correspond to planets with names of Roman goddesses ({{wp|Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres}} and {{wp|Venus}}, respectively).
**However, Ceres is a {{wp|dwarf planet}}, like Pluto (from which [[Charon]]'s Japanese name was taken).
*Saturn is the lieutenant Commander of Team Galactic, meaning he is of a higher rank than Jupiter and Mars and his immediate superior is the [[Galactic Boss]], [[Cyrus]].
*Saturn is the Commander the player will battle the least in {{v2|Platinum}}.
*Saturn is one of the few, if not only, trainers in the main series games not encountered in the {{si|Battle Frontier}} to have a Pokémon with a 50-50 chance of being male or female to be the opposite gender as himself.

Uppfinnarn: Saturn states in Galactic HQ that Charon is his grandpa, calling him "gramps", also added that he is owned in the infobox(not visible)

'''Charon''' (Japanese: '''プルート''' ''Pluto'') is one of [[Team Galactic]]'s four [[Commander]]s, introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pluto anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Charon in the anime]]
Charon appeared in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', albeit not in a speaking role. He is seen briefly in [[Team Galactic]]'s base.

==In the games==

Charon is first seen along with [[Mars]] at [[Valley Windworks]] to get energy from the windworks. During this encounter, it is revealed that he joined the team after Mars. It's also here where the {{player}} discovers that Charon is, in fact, one of the four [[Commander]]s, though the fact that he is the most junior among the Commanders' ranks is not revealed until the Stark Mountain sub quest. He made a minor appearance in the [[Team Galactic Headquarters]] in [[Veilstone City]] right next to [[Saturn]], where he was in front of the button to release the legendary Pokémon of the [[lake trio]].

Charon's role in the game expands after the player defeats the [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] and obtains the [[National Pokédex]]. Upon seeing Cyrus and Saturn being defeated by the player, he sees that the team should have plans that complement his intelligence. After [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Charon takes over Team Galactic and becomes the new leader. He takes Mars and [[Jupiter]] with him to the [[Battle Zone]] so he can retrieve the [[Magma Rock]] from inside [[Stark Mountain]] and capture {{p|Heatran}}. However, once the player encounters them, Mars and Jupiter quit because "things were more exciting when Cyrus was the leader." It is also at this time that the international police officer [[Looker]], who had been hunting Team Galactic since the beginning of the game, arrests Charon. He is not seen or heard from since.

According to a journal in a secret room in the Eterna Galactic HQ, Charon discovered and named Rotom. When he was a child, Charon lost his toy robot. He spent hours looking for it to no avail. Suddenly a {{p|Rotom}} jumped out of his lawnmower and he was surprised to say the least. He named the Pokémon "Rotom", and soon Charon and the Pokémon became good friends. Charon always wanted to hug his new friend, but he couldn't for {{m|Discharge|obvious reasons}}. However, one day, Rotom got startled and zapped Charon, making him faint. When he awoke, Rotom was gone. Soon after, he found his toy robot in the garbage. When he picked it up, Charon realized that Rotom had entered his toy. He could then finally hug his new friend.

=== Notebook and Journal ===
In {{game|Platinum}}, after obtaining the {{OBP|Secret Key|Gen IV}} to enter a special room in [[Team Galactic]]'s hideout in {{ci|Eterna}}, there are two books written by Charon: a notebook and a journal.

==== Notebook ====
The first is a notebook lying on a table. It says: ''"There is a mysterious notebook here. Its age is impossible to tell."''

''"It was by pure chance that I obtained information about the Pokémon Rotom. Remarkably, Rotom has the ability to enter and merge with special motors. It's now known that Rotom can stay inside a motor almost indefinitely. However, it will emerge if it enters a [[Union Room]] or Wi-Fi Club. Rotom will also emerge from the motor if it is left at the [[Pokémon daycare|Day Care]]. Rotom may also forget certain moves when it leaves a motor. This Pokémon requires exhaustive observation and analysis. To ensure I get all the credit, my Rotom research must be kept secret. They will come to recognize me as the scientific genius Char..."''

''"The rest of the notebook is blank."''

====Journal====
The journal is located in a chair in front of a machine. It says: ''"It's an old notebook. There's no telling how old it is."''

''"Our encounter was a sudden one. It was when I found my toy robot, one that I had earlier misplaced. At that instant, a Pokémon startlingly emerged from the lawn mower's motor! Clutching my robot, I started, transfixed by the peculiar Pokémon.''

''The Pokémon hovered in the air, held aloft by a power unseen. As if curious and unafraid of my presence, it floated toward me. Crackling sounds accompanied it, as if from static electricity in the air. Remarkably, it seemed the Pokémon was the source of this power! In alarm, I flinched, certain that my face would be subjected to a shock. Much to my surprise, the Pokémon seemed to favor me with a smile.''

''Finally, I came to realize that the Pokémon only wished to be friends. I have decided to name this most wondrous Pokémon 'Rotom.' Simple though it may be, Rotom emerged to me from the motor of a lawn mower. Motor and Rotom... Surely the link is obvious?''

''Rotom is a Pokémon that is simply sensational. The fact that it can turn invisible is simply the beginning. What makes Rotom unique is its ability to enter and operate machinery!''

''Rotom and I became fast friends. We were perpetual companions. The electricity from its body forbade contact, however. We could not touch, let alone hug or hold hands, but we cared not. For we were bonded on a much deeper, incorporeal level.''

''A feeling of mischief got the better of me one day. Seeing Rotom hovering, I decided to startle it--normally I would not. Perhaps frightened, Rotom discharged power beyond its usual range. I fell, stunned, into the arms of unconsciousness...''

''When I came to, to my horror I realized that Rotom had disappeared. I searched high and low for my friend in dismay and desperation. 'Don't chastise yourself. The fault is mine. No harm done. Let us play as we always have.' Though my words poured out, my friend could not be found to hear them...''

''My search for Rotom carried me far from home. It was in the town's rubbish heap that I again found my old toy robot. Curiously, our eyes met, then the robot waved a hand as if in greeting. I knew then that I had found my lost friend. I ran to it and hugged Rotom tight, talking on and on.''

''The robot's eyes lit up happily as I held it. I'm certain that, within it, Rotom was emitting lots of electricity. Somehow, I felt I could understand Rotom's thoughts better than before. Also, I realized that we would remain friends throughout our lives..."''

''"The notebook ends with this page..."''

==In the manga==
[[File:PlutoDPA.jpg|right|thumb|Charon in the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga]]
Charon first appears at the end of [[DPA27]] as a silhouette. He is the leader of "Neo Team Galactic" following the departure of Cyrus, [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]], and plans to capture [[Kaisē]] in order to enter the [[Distortion World]] and capture [[Giratina (Pokémon)|Giratina]].

In [[DPA32]] Charon is seen for the first time actually battling, using Pokémon he [[Shadow Pokémon|specially conditioned]] to be fighting machines.

==Trivia==
* Charon, is the only [[Team Galactic]] [[Commander]] to not be named after a planet, denoting his subordinate status in both English and Japanese.
** In Japanese, his name is Pluto, after the recently-demoted {{wp|dwarf planet}} of the {{wp|Pluto|same name}}, whose planetary status was challenged after the discovery of a larger object, {{wp|Eris (dwarf planet)|Eris}}, orbiting at around the same distance from the Sun.
** In English, his name is Charon, after Pluto's {{wp|Charon (moon)|largest natural satellite}}, which Pluto forms a binary system with, due to their incredibly similar size.
* Charon is, along with [[Cyrus]], the only named member of Team Galactic that is not named after a planet, though he is named after a solar system object, unlike Cyrus.
* Aside from miscellaneous [[Galactic Grunt|Grunts]], Charon is the only member of Team Galactic that never [[battle]]s the player. In fact, aside from his earlier friendship with {{p|Rotom}}, it is unknown if he has any Pokémon at all.

'''Hearthome City''' (Japanese: '''ヨスガシティ''' ''Yosuga City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. Hearthome City is home to the [[Super Contest Hall]], where one can take place in the [[Super Contest]], a Gym, the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Poffin House]], among other things. An old man will give the player a {{p|Happiny}} [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] here. Hearthome City started as a place where people and Pokémon gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. It is also a gateway to nearby [[Solaceon Town]] and [[Pastoria City]].

Hearthome City is a child-friendly city, and there are many families and young mothers living there. Most of the buildings use elevators instead of stairs so that small children and Pokémon can move through the houses. There are prams strewn through the city. The citizens scrupulously keep their city clean.

==Places of interest==
===Super Contest Hall===
{{main|Super Contest Hall}}
[[Image:Super contest hall.PNG|280px|The Super Contest Hall|thumb]]
The biggest attraction, garnering contestants from all throughout the region, is the Super Contest Hall. The Super Contest Hall is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, within [[Hoenn]]. In it, [[Pokémon]] are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. The city's [[Gym Leader]], [[Fantina]], is a self-proclaimed master at Pokémon Super Contests.
===Amity Square===
{{main|Amity Square}}

[[Image:Amity entrance.PNG|The entrance in Platinum|thumb]]
A notable attraction is Amity Square, where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s relax with their Pokémon. Eleven different types of cute Pokémon will follow the player about in Amity Square, and many Pokémon wander about the city outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s. Amity Square is located north of Hearthome City. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|accessories]] or [[Berry|berries]] for their owners every 200 steps. In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water.

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}

The Sinnoh's Pokémon Fan Club is located in the eastern area of Hearthome City. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and [[Pokémon Contests]] than [[Pokémon Battles]]. The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide because he brags more than anyone. However, he doesn't do it anymore because of people's complaints. This may also explain why only two other member are found in his club. Inside the Pokémon Fan Club, the player will receive the [[Poffin Case]], needed to bake [[Poffin]]. In {{v2|Platinum}}, another member of the club will rate the [[happiness]] of first Pokémon in the player's party.

===Poffin House===
{{main|Poffin House}}

[[Image:PoffinHouseScrnshot.png|thumb|250px|Inside the Poffin House]]
The Poffin House is also here, where coordinators can bake [[Poffin]]s to boost their Pokémon's [[condition]] for [[Pokémon Super Contests]], either alone or through DS Wireless Communications with people nearby. Up to four people may bake at a time. The Poffin House is located west of the [[Poké Mart]] where the {{player}} can make [[Poffin]]s, which are the replacement of [[Pokéblock]]s from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player has to speak to the lady a little to the left of the entrance, throw in his or her selected [[berry]] and start stirring the liquid to begin creating their own Poffin. The Poffin's level depends on the amount of time consumed cooking the Poffin, the number of burns, and the number of spills.

===Bebe's House===
[[Bebe]], the system administrator for Sinnoh's [[Pokémon storage system]] who will also give the player an {{p|Eevee}} living in the midst of Hearthome City. Her house, which is next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's. Bebe is good friends with [[Hayley]], who owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|ranch in which Pokémon can be stored]], and they still keep in contact with each other. After the player obtains the [[National Dex]], she will give them a [[level]] 5 {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee came from a [[Bill|good mate in Johto]] before being passed onto the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Eevee is available right away at level 20, without the need of the National Dex.

===Mr. Goods===
{{main|Mr. Goods}}

[[Mr. Goods]] lives on the street of Hearthome, although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name. He is a bemused man dedicated to rarities who gives out [[goods]] to decorate the [[Secret Base]] in the [[Sinnoh Underground]] with upon completion of certain tasks, such as using the [[Global Trade Station|GTS]] or defeating all eight [[Gyms]]. Mr. Goods will also reward a Trainer for other miscellaneous achievements.

===Foreign Building===
{{main|Foreign Building}}

[[Image:Foreign building.PNG|The Foreign Building|thumb]]
The Foreign Building is a building located in the western side of Hearthome City. It has six benches and stained glass windows. All the people there talk about the grace of life in the [[Pokémon world]]. It seems to be loosely based on a church or cathedral, and is the first building in all the Pokémon games to be so. Respectfully, no music can be heard in the building.

===Pokémon Hotel===
In the middle of the city, next to the Pokémon Fan Club, is a hotel called the Pokémon Hotel. There are only two accessible floors within the hotel. These can be accessed to by a large, automatic elevator. Many visitors come from all parts of the world to enter the Super Contest, or visit Amity Square. Visitors can stay here for a while to enjoy the parts of Hearthome. The landlord inhibits the first floor, and on the second floor lives a woman and a {{p|Clefairy}}. She will give the player a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}, saying that she was given it on vacation, but already had one.

==Hearthome Gym==
[[Image:Sinnohgym5.PNG‎|180px|thumb|right|Hearthome Gym in Pokémon Platinum.]]
{{main|Hearthome Gym}}
The Hearthome Gym is the official {{pkmn|Gym}} of Hearthome City. It is based on {{type2|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Fantina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Relic}}. The Hearthome Gym in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, was the 5th gym, but in {{game|Platinum}}, this was changed to the 3rd gym. This is evident by the significant level change of Fantina's Pokémon. The Hearthome Gym is a giant, five-story building constructed of gray stone blocks. It is illuminated by eerie gray-blue torches. On every floor, there is a mathematical puzzle and three doors corresponding with the answers. Picking the correct door leads to the next elevator up. Picking the wrong door leads to a dead end and a Trainer to fight. The Gym Leader waits in the final room on the fifth floor, which has stain-glass windows and resembles a cathedral. In {{game|Platinum}}, Hearthome Gym has become much like [[Dewford Gym]], in [[Hoenn]]; it is dark and there is only limited light source. The player must navigate their way around the gym using a flashlight. {{p|Duskull}} lamps are used as visible walls, to guide the player around. There are other Trainers with flashlights the player must battle, in order to make their way to [[Fantina]]. For defeating [[Fantina]], Trainers receive the [[Badge#Relic Badge|Relic Badge]], {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}}, and the ability to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle.

==Items==
* [[Shell Bell]]: Given by a woman in the Pokémon Hotel
* [[Glitter Powder]]: Given by [[Keira]] in the [[Super Contest Hall]]
* Tuxedo/Dress: Given by [[Johanna]] in the [[Super Contest Hall]]
* [[Big Mushroom]][[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]]: (Hidden) near the Amity Square West Gate, on the outside of the town fence line.
===Key Items===
* [[Poffin Case]]: Given by the Fan Club Chairman in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]]

==Demographics==
The population of Hearthome City is 55 people. Given that it is the only town in the Pokémon world to feature babies, it probably has the lowest age distribution too.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hearthome anime2.jpg|thumb|Through the streets of Hearthome City]]
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', Hearthome City is first seen as a busy city. {{Ash}} tries to enter [[Hearthome Gym]], but the [[Gym Leader]] isn't there, instead [[Nando]] comes to greet them. {{an|Dawn}} enters the Hearthome City {{pkmn|Contest}}, only to find herself up against all of her rivals: [[Zoey]], [[Jessie]] (disguised as Jessalina), and [[Nando]]. Dawn loses in the first round getting very depressed. Zoey loses to Nando in the finals.

[[Image:Hearthome anime4.jpg|thumb|left|[[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] stadium]]
Later, Ash, Dawn, and [[Brock]] enter the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|tag battle competition]] hosted in Hearthome City. Ash get tagged with [[Paul]], Dawn gets tagged with [[Conway]], and Brock gets tagged with [[Holly]]. They all win their battles in the first round and move up to the second round. Ash and Paul, Dawn and [[Conway]], and Brock and [[Holly]] advance to the tag battle semifinals. It is revealed that Dawn and [[Conway]] have already won their match and the next match-ups were about to begin. It was [[Paul]] and Ash versus Brock and [[Holly]]. {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} used {{m|Leaf Storm}}, knocking Croagunk out, giving victory to Ash and Paul. Finally, the next battle between Dawn, Conway, Ash, and Paul started. Ash and Paul sends out {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} while Conway and Dawn called out {{p|Heracross}} and {{AP|Buizel}}. After a hard battle, Ash and Paul win the battle along with the Tag Battle competition.

After the competition, Paul releases {{AP|his Chimchar|Chimchar}} due to its inability to use {{a|Blaze}} during the match, which is then adopted by Ash.

==Trivia==
* Hearthome's Japanese town motto is {{tt|こころがふれあうばしょ|Where hearts touch each other}}.
* A woman in the city mentions that she evolved one of her Pokémon with a Water Stone; however, none of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex evolve via Water Stone. In {{game|Platinum}}, however, {{p|Eevee}} is included in the Sinnoh Dex, and needs a Water Stone to evolve into {{p|Vaporeon}} however, she mentions using a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} (which Eevee can evolve from too) instead.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Enta}} is the mayor of Hearthome City. However, this is only mentioned in the dub.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, there is a girl with a {{p|Shroomish}} in one of the houses, despite it not being in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]].
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Hearthome City seems to be on the edge of what the DS can handle, and tends to lag when the player runs outside of a building.

Flying (type)

2009-06-15T17:59:31Z

Uppfinnarn: Cyrus specializes in Flying-types too!

{{ElementalTypes|flying}}
{{TypeNotice|Flying|ひこう|Hikou}}
Notable trainers that specialize in the Flying-type include [[Falkner]] of [[Violet City]], [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] and [[Cyrus]] of [[Team Galactic]], the former who both are [[Gym Leader]]s.

This type is the only one of the seventeen that is never seen as a pure type, with the exception of the use of {{m|Conversion}}-like [[move]]s and [[abilities]] such as {{a|Multitype}} and {{a|Color Change}}. Each other type, besides the {{type2|Fighting}}, has also been paired with the Flying-type on at least one Pokémon.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=flying|
HP=67 |
Attack=73 |
Defense=66 |
SpAtk=69 |
SpDef=74 |
Speed=83 }}

===Fully evolved===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=flying|
HP=80.07 |
Attack=84.61 |
Defense=75.76 |
SpAtk=83.12 |
SpDef=81.27 |
Speed=88.71 }}


==Battle properties==
Flying-type moves:
* Are super-effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Have no effect against: None

Flying-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}
* Have immunity to: {{t|Ground}}

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

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

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

In total, there are sixty-five Pokémon with the Flying-type.

==Trivia==
* There are no pure Flying-type Pokémon. No Pokémon has Flying as its primary type, either.
** With the [[Sky Plate]] held, the legendary Pokémon {{p|Arceus}} is the only Pokémon capable of becoming a pure Flying-type outside of battle.
* Flying is the only type whose immunity can be canceled by an item, the [[Iron Ball]], instead of only via a move.
* The Flying-type has been paired with every other type, except the {{type|Fighting}}.
* Currently, all Pokémon with a 4× weakness to {{type2|Rock}} moves are part Flying-type.
* Pokémon with Water/Flying and Bug/Flying type combinations have been introduced in every generation so far.
* All types that resist Flying are weak to Ground. All types that resist Ground are weak to Flying.
* With the introduction of {{p|Shaymin}}'s Sky Forme, each generation has introduced at least one part Flying type legendary Pokémon.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and the League [[Champion]] in [[Generation II]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Lanceadv.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
[[Image:Lance Disguised TR.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Lance diguised as a Team Rocket member]]
Lance is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]]. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.

Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a {{shiny2|Red}} {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the [[Red Gyarados]] at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the [[League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become League Champion.

He raises {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather was the elder of a famous clan of Dragon masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

Lance appeared at [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket in [[Johto]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

===={{g|Stadium 2}}====

In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lance is the champion, who is fought at the end of the Elite Four. As the player must use the same Pokémon that it used against the Elite Four, Lance is extremely difficult to defeat with Rental Pokémon, but not impossible (due to the element of chance). Once Lance is defeated, the player can battle any gym leaders in the Kanto region at any time.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Lance.PNG|right|frame|Lance]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Special]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon.

Apparently also from [[Viridian City]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the [[Viridian Forest]] as {{Special|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds.

Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance tried to summon {{p|Lugia}} on [[Cerise Island]] to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{Special|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Mask of Ice]].

==Trivia==
* Every Pokémon Lance battles with, save in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, knows {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon: the Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, all his Dragonite from [[Generation II]] are underleveled.
* Lance is the only [[Elite Four]] member to have appeared in person twice in the {{pkmn|anime}}, not counting flashbacks or on TV, as both [[Lucian]] and {{EF|Aaron}} have appeared more than once, with only one time being in person.
* It is interesting to note that as of {{game|Yellow}} Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released and his sprite in Red and Blue is grayish-blue in color.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. Interestingly, all six of his Pokémon have [[Flying]] as their secondary type.
* Lance shares several similarities to the Dragoon Job-class of the Final Fantasy francise, they are usually able to perform special moves related to Dragons and wears Dragon-styled Armor, but they also wields Lances(or Spears), and has a special ability known as Lancet, which drains HP(and in some cases MP) from the target.

Final Smash

2009-06-14T08:56:25Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Ivysaur}} about to attack a Smash Ball]]
A '''Final Smash''' (Japanese: '''最後の切りふだ''' ''Final Trump'') is the most powerful move available to playable characters in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Each has their own personal Final Smash, which is activated by obtaining a Smash Ball. Due to the nature of the Final Smash, Smash Balls are a unique item in that they must be attacked several times to obtain them and then they can still be stolen by attacking the player who possesses it.

==Volt Tackle==
{{main|Volt Tackle (move)}}
[[Image:Pikachu VoltTackleSSBB1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Pikachu after getting a Smash Ball]]
[[Image:PikachuBrawl FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Volt Tackle]]
'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Volteccer'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s Final Smash. Pikachu's eyes and outline glow red. A ball of blue energy then surronds Pikachu. Pikachu can then fly through the air, hitting and heavily damaging its opponents. The player may also press the standard attack button to increase the mass of the energy ball, causing more damage to be inflicted at the cost of the attack becoming harder to control.
{{-}}

==Triple Finish==
[[Image:PokemonTrainer FinalSmash.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Pokémon Trainer sending out all of his Pokémon for Triple Finish]][[Image:TripleFinish FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Triple Finish]]
'''Triple Finish''' (Japanese: '''さんみいったい''' ''Trinity'') is [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]'s Final Smash.
Whichever of the three Pokémon is sent out at the time will be able to attack and break the Smash Ball. As soon as this has been done, and the Final Smash has been activated using the Special attack button, Pokémon Trainer will send out the other two Pokémon, and the three will group together to perform their [[move]]s. As the move is readying to be fired, a [[Generation IV]]-styled text box will appear at the bottom of the screen stating "Take that! Triple Finish!" At this time, {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{p|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{p|Ivysaur}} uses {{m|SolarBeam}}.

When the move connects, the text box will change to state "It's [[super effective]]!", a reference to dialog displayed in the [[main series]] games.
{{-}}

==Aura Storm==
[[Image:Lucario FinalSmash.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Lucario about to use Aura Storm]]
[[Image:LucarioBrawl FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Aura Storm]]
'''Aura Storm''' (Japanese: '''はどうのあらし''' ''Wave Storm'') is {{p|Lucario}}'s Final Smash. Lucario jumps up into the air and uses [[aura]] to unleash a powerful beam attack. The beam can be controlled by tilting the Control Stick. Lucario can also slightly damage opponents if it comes into contact with them while jumping up at the start of the Final Smash.
{{-}}

==Puff Up==
[[Image:Jigglystartfinal.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff about to use Puff Up]]
[[Image:Jigglyfinal.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Puff Up]]
'''Puff Up''' (Japanese: '''おおきくなる''' ''Grow'') is {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s Final Smash. First, Jigglypuff's eyes glow yellow. It then inflates itself until it fills the stage and then deflates. Anyone touching Jigglypuff when it reaches its maximum size will be sent flying.

A glitch has been discovered that allows Jigglypuff to remain this size on certain stages, though Jigglypuff will be sent offscreen for a KO if it moves around too much.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Only Pikachu and Pokémon Trainer's three individual Final Smashes are actual moves, and all of them have 120 power in the games.
* Lucario's Aura Storm resembles the Kamehameha wave from {{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}.
* Charizard uses Fire Blast six times during Triple Finish. In the [[version|main games]], this would require at least one {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}.
* Also, {{m|Solar Beam}} takes one turn to charge up, but {{p|Ivysaur}} fires it instantly.

Trade

2009-06-02T12:35:01Z

Uppfinnarn: /* {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} */ You will recieve the NDex automatically in RS by trading with FRLG

[[Image:P_Trade.jpg|thumb|right|Trading confirmation screen in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
A '''trade''' is a process in which [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her [[Pokémon]] to another trainer in exchange for one of the other trainer's Pokémon. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[items]] can be attached to Pokémon when traded. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will trigger an evolution when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be attached to send a message.

==Benefits of trading==

Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon aren't available in each edition. For example, Meowth cannot be found in Pokémon Red, and the player must trade with someone who has a copy of Pokémon Blue. Some Pokémon only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded. Trading away a Pokémon will not remove its Pokédex entry.

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5x the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from another country will gain 1.7x experience.

==Drawbacks of trading==

A traded Pokémon is referred to as an [[Outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a trainer with the sufficient number of gym badges. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed except if traded back to the original trainer.

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Even if two games have the same name and ID number, each trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two trainers having different secret ID numbers is 99.998%.

==Limitations on trading==

===Trading between game generations===

Trading between different generations of Pokémon is possible, with two major limitations: trading between [[Generation II]] (GB/GBC) and [[Generation III]] (GBA) is impossible, and trading from [[Generation III]] (GBA) to [[Generation IV]] (DS) is one-way only.

Pokémon can be traded from [[Generation II]] back to [[Generation I]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded cannot hold any items, or have any attacks which do not exist in [[Generation I]].

Pokémon can be transferred from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] using the [[Pal Park]] feature. However, they cannot be traded in the opposite direction.

Trading from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and [[Generation II|II]] to [[Generation III]] is impossible for two reasons. Firstly, hardware reasons prevent a GBA game from linking to a Gameboy Color game. Secondly, the [[Pokémon data structure in the GBA|Pokémon data structure]] was changed significantly, and the two are no longer compatible. Likewise, the Nintendo DS has no link cable support. Enterprising players may use a cheating tool such as [[Pokésav]] to re-create their Pokémon in [[Generation IV]].

===International trading===

Trades between two different language Pokémon cartridges caused corrupt data in early versions of the game.

The Nintendo DS Pokémon games fully support international trading, including internet trading via the [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]].

===Hardware requirements===

Trading requires two games consoles and two copies of the game. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase two consoles and two copies of the game.

Prior to [[Generation IV]] (Nintendo DS), trading required a Game Boy link cable. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] (GBA) games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the link cable.

The [[Pal Park]] feature of [[Generation IV]] games uses the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, so unlike other trading requires only one game console. However, it is not compatible with the Nintendo DSi, which does not have a GBA slot.

== Requirements for trading ==
=== Generation I ===
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

=== Generation II ===
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

=== Generation III ===
==== {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. Also, trading with FireRed/LeafGreen versions is impossible unless the player has obtained the National Dex (Emerald only, Trading with FR/LG Will automatilcally enable the National Dex in R/S).

==== {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade. Trades with Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are possible only after bringing {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} to complete [[Celio]]'s [[Network Machine]].

==== [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon with the GBA games until this has beaten the final boss of the game ([[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and [[Greevil]], respectively). Also, trading unpurified [[Shadow Pokémon]] is prohibited.

=== Generation IV ===
==== {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. Migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games through [[Pal Park]] cannot be done until the [[National Dex]] has been obtained. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

==== [[My Pokémon Ranch]] ====
Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

== Pokémon which evolve when traded ==
Many of these Pokémon also require [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]] to be held by them at the time of trading for their evolution to take place.

=== From [[Generation I]] ===
*{{p|Kadabra}} → {{p|Alakazam}}
*{{p|Machoke}} → {{p|Machamp}}
*{{p|Graveler}} → {{p|Golem}}
*{{p|Haunter}} → {{p|Gengar}}

Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is unusually rare in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Only a few trades have taken place, and only four of them thus far have been truly significant. Fans have often speculated about the reason for this. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.
* In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Butterfree}} for a [[Gentleman]]'s {{AP|Raticate}}. He wasn't happy with the trade, however, so he traded it back by the end of the episode.
* In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for {{jo|Benny}}'s {{tp|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
* In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James is forced by Jessie to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for the [[Magikarp salesman]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}}.
*In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Aipom}} for {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}.

The trade machine used in the anime has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory in both {{en|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when link cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} there is a [[Scientist]] at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake, which was due to the original translation of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]]'s script, was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

Uppfinnarn: /* Trading between game generations */ ...Since when is G3 for GBC?

[[Image:P_Trade.jpg|thumb|right|Trading confirmation screen in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
A '''trade''' is a process in which [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her [[Pokémon]] to another trainer in exchange for one of the other trainer's Pokémon. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[items]] can be attached to Pokémon when traded. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will trigger an evolution when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be attached to send a message.

==Benefits of trading==

Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon aren't available in each edition. For example, Meowth cannot be found in Pokémon Red, and the player must trade with someone who has a copy of Pokémon Blue. Some Pokémon only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded. Trading away a Pokémon will not remove its Pokédex entry.

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5x the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from another country will gain 1.7x experience.

==Drawbacks of trading==

A traded Pokémon is referred to as an [[Outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a trainer with the sufficient number of gym badges. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed except if traded back to the original trainer.

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Even if two games have the same name and ID number, each trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two trainers having different secret ID numbers is 99.998%.

==Limitations on trading==

===Trading between game generations===

Trading between different generations of Pokémon is possible, with two major limitations: trading between [[Generation II]] (GB/GBC) and [[Generation III]] (GBA) is impossible, and trading from [[Generation III]] (GBA) to [[Generation IV]] (DS) is one-way only.

Pokémon can be traded from [[Generation II]] back to [[Generation I]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded cannot hold any items, or have any attacks which do not exist in [[Generation I]].

Pokémon can be transferred from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] using the [[Pal Park]] feature. However, they cannot be traded in the opposite direction.

Trading from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and [[Generation II|II]] to [[Generation III]] is impossible for two reasons. Firstly, hardware reasons prevent a GBA game from linking to a Gameboy Color game. Secondly, the [[Pokémon data structure in the GBA|Pokémon data structure]] was changed significantly, and the two are no longer compatible. Likewise, the Nintendo DS has no link cable support. Enterprising players may use a cheating tool such as [[Pokésav]] to re-create their Pokémon in [[Generation IV]].

===International trading===

Trades between two different language Pokémon cartridges caused corrupt data in early versions of the game.

The Nintendo DS Pokémon games fully support international trading, including internet trading via the [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]].

===Hardware requirements===

Trading requires two games consoles and two copies of the game. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase two consoles and two copies of the game.

Prior to [[Generation IV]] (Nintendo DS), trading required a Game Boy link cable. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] (GBA) games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the link cable.

The [[Pal Park]] feature of [[Generation IV]] games uses the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, so unlike other trading requires only one game console. However, it is not compatible with the Nintendo DSi, which does not have a GBA slot.

== Requirements for trading ==
=== Generation I ===
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

=== Generation II ===
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

=== Generation III ===
==== {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. Also, trading with FireRed/LeafGreen versions is impossible unless the player has obtained the National Dex.

==== {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade. Trades with Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are possible only after bringing {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} to complete [[Celio]]'s [[Network Machine]].

==== [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon with the GBA games until this has beaten the final boss of the game ([[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and [[Greevil]], respectively). Also, trading unpurified [[Shadow Pokémon]] is prohibited.

=== Generation IV ===
==== {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} ====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. Migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games through [[Pal Park]] cannot be done until the [[National Dex]] has been obtained. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

==== [[My Pokémon Ranch]] ====
Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

== Pokémon which evolve when traded ==
Many of these Pokémon also require [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]] to be held by them at the time of trading for their evolution to take place.

=== From [[Generation I]] ===
*{{p|Kadabra}} → {{p|Alakazam}}
*{{p|Machoke}} → {{p|Machamp}}

Uppfinnarn:

'''Felicity''' (Japanese: '''スージー''' ''Susie'') is a character who appears in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. She operates the [[Jubilife TV]] Daily Lotto. In Diamond and Pearl, she allows the player to draw a lotto ticket only once. In Platinum, she allows the player to have the number read to them as many times as they wish, allowing them to obtain a new Pokémon with an ID matching the lotto ticket's.

She goes unnamed in Diamond and Pearl; her name was revealed on the [[TCG]] card [[Felicity's Drawing (Great Encounters 98)|Felicity's Drawing]]. It was also used later in Platinum version, and she also shares the name with {{p|Persian}}'s Bank in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]].

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

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of {{game|Platinum}}, it can [[form differences|change forms]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rotom's basic body looks similar to {{p|Castform}}, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. It also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also have unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Even though Rotom is classified as being an Electric/Ghost type, it possesses traits that aren't usually normal for something that's supposed to be a spirit, such as the need to eat, being able to faint and somehow reproducing. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning.
[[Image:Rotom and its items.JPG|thumb|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be transformed between using an event-exclusive item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}}. They are based on a {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|fan}} (Fan Rotom), {{wp|lawn mower}} (Mow Rotom), and a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom). Despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{t|Ice}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Rotom's eyes and aura of electricity will change colors when it changes form, but the aura remains the same color if it's {{shiny2}}. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions.
====Gender differences====
Rotom is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Rotom can creep into machines and appliances and infiltrate them. It may also possess and take the form of them if it wishes. However, only 5 alternate forms have been discovered so far.
[[Image:BrockRotom.gif|thumb|right|Rotom transforming in the anime]]

===Behavior===
Rotom are mischievous, apparently wreaking havoc on electrical appliances just for the fun of it. They like to pull pranks on others, or just {{m|Discharge|shock}} them. When not possessing any object and when possessing a fan, it levitates when moving. On the other hand, when possessing a refrigerator or a microwave oven, it bounces.

===Habitat===
They usually live in electrical appliances, sometimes in those of [[Old Chateau|abandoned places]]. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a Rotom resides inside a [[television]], where the {{player}} is able to catch it after obtaining the National Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl (in Platinum, this is not required).

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

As with most {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, Rotom probably feeds on electricity.

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Rotom normal.jpg|1=Rotom heat.jpg|2=Rotom wash.jpg|3=Rotom frost.jpg|4=Rotom spin.jpg|5=Rotom cut.jpg}}|thumb|210px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=|1=Heat|2=Wash|3=Frost|4=Fan|5=Mow}} Rotom in the anime]]
Rotom made its debut appearance in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' in all its different forms, toying around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|co.}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Rotom appeared in the television at the [[Old Chateau]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|legendary}} encounters although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-legendary Pokémon to do this. {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} do the opposite, being the only legendaries encountered in [[Generation IV]] for which the normal wild battle music plays.
**Interestingly, an official Pokémon handbook for Diamond and Pearl states that it's a legendary.
* Rotom has the same height and weight as the [[lake trio]].
* It is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon not in the original [[Sinnoh Dex]] that is neither legendary nor an evolution of a Pokémon from previous generations.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom.
* Rotom is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Shedinja}} (brown) and {{p|Froslass}} (white).
* Rotom is one of the two Electric-types who are immune to {{type2|Ground}} moves, the other being Zapdos.(not including Pokémons [[Levitate (ability)]] using {{m|Magnet Rise}}
* With the exception of {{p|Unown}}, Rotom has the most forms of any non-legendary Pokémon, with six in total. Behind it is {{p|Castform}}, who has four.
* Rotom is one of only two Ghost-types that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being Shedinja.
* When Rotom transforms, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. The move is replaced by another if Rotom possesses another object, and is deleted when Rotom transforms back to its normal form. If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with {{m|ThunderShock}}.
* Rotom changes its forms in a similar fashion to {{p|Deoxys}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Rotom is the only Pokémon with the ability to change its form by will that must possess another object in order to do so. {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} actually transform their bodies. However, {{p|Burmy}} is similar to Rotom in that it merely changes its surrounding cover. Like Deoxys and Burmy, players can have the six forms at one time.
* Rotom is the only Pokémon whose alternate forms have a different [[Stats|base stat total]] than that of the original form. Other Pokémon with alternate forms may have different distributions, however.
* Rotom is currently the last {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the [[National Dex]] order as well as the last non-legendary Pokémon.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, its "arms" are almost clear and are tinted a gentle blue.
* Fan Rotom is the only form with a special move whose base power isn't over 100. It's also the only one with more than 5 PP.
* As of the official Japanese tournament held in 2008, all Rotom forms have been banned from official tournaments. This is due to the special status of the alternate forms as event-exclusive Pokémon.
** Rotom is, so far, the only Pokémon considered to be non-legendary to receive these distinctions.
*As Heat Rotom, Rotom is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Overheat}} without breeding or via [[TM]].
*As Mow Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Grass}} to learn {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
*As Fan Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Flying}} to learn {{m|Air Slash}}.
*As Wash Rotom, along with {{p|Lugia}} and the {{p|Bagon}} family, are the only non-{{type2|Water}}s that can learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was actually designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s.

====Name origin====
In {{game|Platinum}}, it is revealed that [[Charon]] named the first Rotom. It appeared out of his toy robot, and Charon named it Rotom due to its origin. Rotom is the word ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.

===Quotes===
====First battle====
Before the battle: 
Darach: ''Welcome. I am Darach, as you know, and I am the Castle Valet. Lady Caitlin, my employer, is not one to accept defeat willingly. However, for a reason I'm not at liberty to disclose, she cannot battle. Consequently, I will do battle in her ladyship's place. ...Let me assure you that you won't be shortchanged by facing me. En garde!

After the battle: 
Darach: ''My Pokémon could not be faulted in any way or form. My hat's off to you.''

Darach: ''<player>, you are truly in possession of a superlative talent! I drew on every reserve of experience and etiquette handed down through our eritage of glorious servitude. But even then, I failed To fend off your inspired and inspiring challenge. I shall see to appeasing Lady Caitlin's displeasure at my loss. <player>, please do return to our Battle Castle. We will be delighted and honored to have you back!''

Caitlin: ''... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!''

Darach: ''<player>, good show. A hard-fought win, yes? Lady Caitlin has instructed me to award you {{tt|x|x being any number between 1 and 30, depending on how well the player battles}} CP.''

Darach: ''Congratulations on clearing seven consecutive battles. For your valiant effort, <player>, please accept this BP. We'll return any items that we were holding for you.''

====Second battle====
Before the battle: 
Darach: ''Your mastery of Pokémon is as breathtaking as ever. <player>, you certainly are to be commended. ...However, if I may say so, I noticed something about the way you battle. After all, I have the opportunity to watch you closely firsthand. So, what is it that I noticed? As a Trainer myself, it is but proper etiquette to show you in a battle. Let us begin! En garde!''

After the battle: 
Darach: ''Your skills are superlative as ever! My admiration knows no bounds.''

Darach: ''I am humbled... What I'd perceived to be a weakness was only illusory... Or, perhaps you corrected it in the course of our battle. Regardless, your performance was stunning again. Though she cannot say it, Lady Caitlin appears quite taken by your style. For her sake at the very least, please do return to our Battle Castle!''

Caitlin: ''... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!''

Darach: ''<player>, good show. A hard-fought win, yes? Lady Caitlin has instructed me to award you {{tt|x|x being any number between 1 and 30, depending on how well the player battles}} CP.''

Darach: ''Congratulations on clearing seven consecutive battles. For your valiant effort, <player>, please accept this BP. We'll return any items that we were holding for you.''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special manga===
Darach and Lady Caitlin appeared in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier arc of the [[Pokémon Special]]. It's also indicated that they will be {{special|Platina}}'s first challenge.

==Trivia==
* It could be assumed that Darach is the true Frontier Brain of the Battle Castle, due to Caitlin's place on a throne, even in the battle against them, her portraits in the castle, her appearing behind Darach and the term "Castle Valet". Therefore, Caitlin may be acting as a mistress and watching the battle from the throne. It is also possible that Caitlin is the Frontier Brain and just has Darach battle for her with her Pokémon.
* Despite their in-game sprite showing them both together, they do not participate in a [[double battle]]. This situation is much like the [[Twins]] of the [[Generation II]] games, and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in {{game|Yellow}}, however that was merely because [[Double Battle|Double battles]] were introduced in [[Generation III]].
*If Caitlin is a Frontier Brain, she is the only one among them to share her name with other trainers that can be battled in the game.

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, known as the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{t|Dark}}/{{type2|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, while being slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{M|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.

===Behavior===
Spiritomb are extremely malevolent Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Habitat===
Spiritomb dwell in the [[Hallowed Tower]]. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], also live in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Spiritomb.jpg|right|thumb|The Spiritomb from ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' using {{m|Dark Pulse}}.]]
Spiritomb appeared in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. When Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]].

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
*Spiritomb is the second Pokémon created which is weak to no type. The first was {{p|Sableye}}.
**Because it doesn't have a weakness, hackers normally enjoy hacking Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}. A Spiritomb hacked in this manner is known as a "[[Wondertomb]]".
*Spiritomb has been shown to have the ability to {{a|levitate}}, but cannot have the ability.
*Spiritomb cannot learn any [[HM]] technique at all.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits. Incidentally, Spiritomb's number in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms.
*Spiritomb is the heaviest non-legendary Ghost-type Pokémon, even since this proably includes the weight of the [[Odd Keystone]] it's attached to.
===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.

====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kryppuk - From ''Krypta'' (crypt) and ''Spuk'' (spook).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Spiritomb
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 화강돌 ''Hwagangdol''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 花岩怪

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, known as the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{t|Dark}}/{{type2|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, while being slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{M|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.

===Behavior===
Spiritomb are extremely malevolent Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Habitat===
Spiritomb dwell in the [[Hallowed Tower]]. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], also live in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Spiritomb.jpg|right|thumb|The Spiritomb from ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' using {{m|Dark Pulse}}.]]
Spiritomb appeared in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. When Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]].

==Trivia==
*Spiritomb is the second Pokémon created which is weak to no type. The first was {{p|Sableye}}.
**Because it doesn't have a weakness, hackers normally enjoy hacking Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}. A Spiritomb hacked in this manner is known as a "[[Wondertomb]]".
*Spiritomb has been shown to have the ability to {{a|levitate}}, but cannot have the ability.
*Spiritomb cannot learn any [[HM]] technique at all.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits. Incidentally, Spiritomb's number in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms.
*Spiritomb is the heaviest non-legendary Ghost-type Pokémon.
===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.

====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

Primal Dialga

2009-04-12T08:00:46Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Background */ Dusknoir apparently understands what PD says

[[Image:Primal dialga.PNG|90px|right|thumb|Primal Dialga]]
'''Primal Dialga''' (Japanese: '''やみのディアルガ''' ''Darkness Dialga'') is a Pokémon that appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]. It is located at the pinnacle of [[Temporal Tower]], and is the final boss of the game's main story line. Primal Dialga is actually a {{p|Dialga}} that lost control over its ability to control time due to the collapse of the Temporal Tower and changed to this form. In this form, it is also incapable of logical reasoning or showing mercy, only seeking self-preservation and preventing time from flowing properly. The player must return the [[Time Gear]]s to the tower to restore the flow of time, calm down Dialga, and prevent the future where darkness rules.

==Physiology==
Primal Dialga has the body shape of a normal {{p|Dialga}} but the color scheme is different. The blue color in its body is changed to dark navy blue, the streamers are recolored to orange and the diamond in the chest is altered from blue to a cherry shade red which is a sign of its berserk and savage state. This is caused by a collapsing Temporal Tower, resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "Primal Dialga".

==Background==
The Primal Dialga state was from {{p|Darkrai}}'s doing who stole the Time Gears, consequently outraging Dialga and disrupting the proper flow of time. In an alternate future, Temporal Tower collapses, sending Dialga into a primal rage, making him a being running on pure primal instinct and self-preservation, thus meaning he'd try to foil any attempt to alter the past. When Grovyle and the player go back in time, Dialga sends his follower Dusknoir back in time as well to stop them. He is not seen up until Dusknoir drags the player and their partner back to the future, were Primal Dialga orders Dusknoir to kill them. He then assists his followers in trying to stop the group from going back in time once more but fails. Once the player and partner reach the summit of Temporal Tower, Dialga attacks them, believing they've come to destroy the Tower. They manage to defeat him and save the tower, restoring time and Dialga to their normal states after which he thanks the player and their partner, grateful for all they've done. The future Primal Dialga, Grovyle, Dusknoir, and the player are all erased from existence due to being from a future which no longer exists but after the Temporal Tower incident, the present day Dialga returns the player to life as a show of gratitude for repairing the flow of time and the player's sacrifice.

Although Primal Dialga has lost control of its power, it can still warp through time and use its signature move {{m|Roar of Time}}.

The Dialga battled is not actually the same as the one from the future Grovyle comes from, when battled, Dialga still has a shred of its self left, and thus was not completely "primal". This is shown by the future Primal Dialga not being able to speak at all(even since Dusknoir apparently understanded what it's roars meant) and the one the player and their partner battle speaking broken words.

Core series

2009-04-11T15:45:36Z

Uppfinnarn: Gen 3 Introduced Natures as well as Abilities, and Gen 2 Introduced Eggs

It is not yet known if there will be '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise. However, it has been indicated in the past, that not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native are likely to be revealed gradually. The Pokémon franchise remains very profitable for Nintendo and is currently the second best selling video-game franchise, meaning that the end of the series is likely still far away.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about a possible Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing. In the third version, the outfits of the [[player character]]s and [[rival]] will likely change.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, although there remains no third version to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and there are four games in Generation I. Since [[Generation III]], the player characters have gotten an outfit change in the third version.
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors {{prof|Oak}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}}, {{prof|Rowan}} and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 151. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a rodent based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151, 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and rodents, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon.
*The new region may feature new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}} and new [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence: '''Both have happened in three out of the four released generations.
*There will be eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the Elite Four. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and might get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some {{g|Special}} chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{pkmn|Red and Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and possibly {{p|Magnemite}} will be included within the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s. Magnemite may also be included in an industrial type location, like a [[Power Plant]]. This isn't certain as it was not included in the original [[Sinnoh]] Pokédex, but was later included in the {{v2|Platinum}} Sinnoh Pokédex addition.
*There will be at least one [[legendary trio]] in the next generation, as well as at least one Über legendary and one [[event Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence:''' Generation I has exactly one of each of the above, and all subsequent generations have expanded on this number in some way.
*The new generation will be playable on a new handheld game system.
**'''Evidence:''' Every new generation so far has been released for the newest Nintendo handheld console relative to its time.
***[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue, Green]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] for the [[Game Boy]].
***{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
***[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} for the [[Game Boy Advance]].
***{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].
*The new generation will introduce some new battling mechanics, and will likely have graphical improvements.
**'''Evidence''': This has happened in every generation since the first.
***[[Gen II]]: Introduced [[Egg|Eggs]], a split in [[Special]] into {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, as well as other additions, such as [[weather conditions]]. Also, introduced animated sprites and slightly better graphics.
***[[Gen III]]: Introduced [[Ability|abilities]], [[Nature|natures]], and reorganized [[EV]]'s and [[IV]]'s. Graphics were greatly improved from Gen II as well.
***[[Gen IV]]: Redefined the difference between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move|Special]] attacks. Introduced 3D environments and made graphics more realistic and less cartoony.
*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their offical debut or fairly unnannouced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:
***[[Gen II]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', {{p|Donphan}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and {{p|Lugia}} in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
***[[Gen III]]: {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', {{p|Wynaut}} in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', and {{p|Blaziken}} in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
***[[Gen IV]]: {{p|Munchlax}} in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and {{p|Buizel}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

==Trivia==
* Lickitung was originally to be called ''Tonguetyd'' but this changed before the release of the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Even though it was repeatedly stated to attack using licks, it was not able to learn {{m|Lick}} until [[Generation II]].
* Prior to Generation IV, Lickitung can learn {{m|Rollout}} by [[TM04]] during [[Generation II]], or when purified in {{Pokémon XD}} or [[move tutor|tutored]] the move in {{game|Emerald}}. In Diamond and Pearl, Lickitung [[Methods_of_evolution#Others|needs to know the move Rollout to evolve]] into {{p|Lickilicky}}. This makes Lickitung and {{p|Piloswine}} the only Pokémon which meet their Generation IV evolution criteria in games of prior generations.
* Lickitung is the only Pokémon that evolves by learning {{m|Rollout}}.
*The only sprite that shows Lickitung without its tongue out is in {{game|Emerald}}, and even then, its tongue is only in its mouth in one frame of animation.
* Its Red/Blue and FireRed Pokédex data compares Lickitung's extensible tongue to that of a {{wp|chameleon}}, a real-world lizard. {{p|Charmeleon}} is also based on a chameleon, but does not have a notably long tongue.
* Lickitung was incorrectly referred to as a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green]] Prima game guide.
* All of Lickitung's back sprites show Lickitung with its arms up.

===Origin===
It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, commonly the [[wp:Blue-tongued skink|blue-tongued lizard]]. It also shares traits with {{wp|anteaters}}.
Lickitung could also be an {{wp|Iguanodon}} with some similar characteristics, including a long tongue.
====Name origin====
Lickitung's name is a combination and corruption of ''lick'' and ''tongue''. The ''bero'' in ''Beroringa'' may be derived from ベロ ''bero'', tongue, べろべろ, ''berobero'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for a licking sound, or べろべろ嘗める ''beroberonameru'', to lick up with one's tongue. ''Ringer'' is most likely derived from English ''ring'', referring to the patterns on its body. It is also possible that ''ringa'' is a corruption of the English word ''lingua'', which refers to a tongue or an organ resembling a tongue [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lingua].

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schlurp - From ''slurp''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Excelangue - From ''excellent'' and ''langue'' (tongue). The name as a whole sounds like ''excellent''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 내루미 ''Naerumi''

==Trivia==
* Lickitung was originally to be called ''Tonguetyd'' but this changed before the release of the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Even though it was repeatedly stated to attack using licks, it was not able to learn {{m|Lick}} until [[Generation II]].
* Prior to Generation IV, Lickitung can learn {{m|Rollout}} by [[TM04]] during [[Generation II]], or when purified in {{Pokémon XD}} or [[move tutor|tutored]] the move in {{game|Emerald}}. In Diamond and Pearl, Lickitung [[Methods_of_evolution#Others|needs to know the move Rollout to evolve]] into {{p|Lickilicky}}. This makes Lickitung and {{p|Piloswine}} the only Pokémon which meet their Generation IV evolution criteria in games of prior generations.
* Lickitung is the only Pokémon that evolves by learning {{m|Rollout}}.
*The only sprite that shows Lickitung without its tongue out is in {{game|Emerald}}, and even then, its tongue is only in its mouth in one frame of animation.
* Its Red/Blue and FireRed Pokédex data compares Lickitung's extensible tongue to that of a {{wp|chameleon}}, a real-world lizard. {{p|Charmeleon}} is also based on a chameleon, but does not have a notably long tongue.
* Lickitung was incorrectly referred to as a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green]] Prima game guide.
* All of Lickitung's back sprites show Lickitung with its arms up.

===Origin===
It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, commonly the [[wp:Blue-tongued skink|blue-tongued lizard]]. It also shares traits with {{wp|anteaters}}.
Lickitung could also be an {{wp|Iguanodon}} with some similar characteristics, including a long tongue.
====Name origin====
Lickitung's name is a combination and corruption of ''lick'' and ''tongue''. The ''bero'' in ''Beroringa'' may be derived from ベロ ''bero'', tongue, べろべろ, ''berobero'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for a licking sound, or べろべろ嘗める ''beroberonameru'', to lick up with one's tongue. ''Ringer'' is most likely derived from English ''ring'', referring to the patterns on its body. It is also possible that ''ringa'' is a corruption of the English word ''lingua'', which refers to a tongue or an organ resembling a tongue [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lingua].

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schlurp - From ''slurp''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Excelangue - From ''excellent'' and ''langue'' (tongue). The name as a whole sounds like ''excellent''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 내루미 ''Naerumi''

Generation IV

2009-03-06T12:21:32Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Trivia */

'''Generation IV''' is the fourth set of Pokémon games released. It consists of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and {{v2|Platinum}} [[Version]]s on the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the [[Wii]].

==Advances in gameplay==
This generation is to [[Generation III]] as [[Generation II]] was to [[Generation I]], being compatible with the GBA games by allowing players to transfer up to six Pokémon per cartridge ahead to Sinnoh every 24 hours. Additional advances are as follows:
*[[Time|Day/Night]] system returns from [[Generation II]], with better transitions between the three time periods.
*An actual 3D rendering of the overworld, as opposed to only sprites.
*Distinction between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s, characteristics which are no longer dependent upon the move's [[type]].
*47 new [[Ability|abilities]], bringing the total up to 123.
*107 new Pokémon, including many new evolutions and pre-evolutions of older Pokémon, bringing the total to 493.
*113 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 467.
*Another new [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]].
*Wi-Fi battling and trading over the [[wp:Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], similar to the Mobile Adapter used in conjunction with [[Pokémon Crystal]].
*[[Pokémon Super Contest|New versions]] of [[Pokémon contest|Contests]], with more rounds.
*[[The Underground|Underground]] [[Secret base|bases]] and mini-games including capture the flag.
*Some Pokémon now display [[gender differences|differences between genders]].

==Sinnoh starters==
Though it was rumored that the {{type2|Grass}}/{{type2|Fire}}/{{type2|Water}} trio would be replaced instead with a {{type2|Dark}}/{{type2|Psychic}}/{{type2|Fighting}} trio, that much proved to be false, and Diamond and Pearl's starters are the Grass-type {{p|Turtwig}}, the Fire-type {{p|Chimchar}}, and the Water-type {{p|Piplup}}.

==Other Generation IV games==
[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] features a [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]-like arena for battle, allowing Diamond and Pearl to link to it through wireless communications between the Nintendo DS and Wii, much like previous generations' games would link to [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], and [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Stadium 2]]. Battle Revolution also features online battles with players around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Many also hope for a [[Appendix:Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]], much as {{game|Red and Green|s}} were remade for the [[Game Boy Advance]] as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

{{game|Platinum}} is the third game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, like {{game|Yellow}}, {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|Emerald}} of previous generations.

==Trivia==
*It is currently the only generation to date in which Kanto is inaccessible.
*However, there is believed that [[Nintendo]] will release Remakes of the [[Generation II]] games [[Pokémon Gold]] and [[Pokémon Silver]]

Pokémon the Series

2009-02-23T12:54:25Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Description */ Team Rocket appears in ALMOST every episode

The '''Pokémon anime''', often just referred to as just ''the'' anime by Pokémon fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 8 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Advanced Generation episodes}} - 6 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Diamond & Pearl episodes}} - 3}} main series episodes, 11 movies, and a number of side-story episodes focusing on [[Pokémon]]— mostly about [[Ash Ketchum]] and his quest to become a {{g|Master}}. He travels around the {{g|world}} to earn [[badges]] by defeating [[Gym Leaders]] or gaining the respect from them, in order to participate in the [[Pokémon League Conference|Pokémon Leagues]]. The main protagonist of the show is [[Ash Ketchum]] who was joined by his first Pokémon and best friend, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{ashfr|various companions}}.

==Description==
The anime is a driving force for the sale of Pokémon games, and it is based on it. However the anime takes many concepts from the games and puts a unique spin on them, most famously, Ash beginning his journey with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash travels to various [[regions]] to catch new Pokémon, earn [[badges]] from [[Gym]] {{g|battle}}s, and compete in regional competitions. However it does contain anime-exclusive elements like the the [[Orange League]]. Along the way, Ash battles his rivals and continues to refine his battle prowess. [[Team Rocket]] continually tries to steal Pikachu because of its strength exceeds that of a normal {{p|Pikachu}} by far. Team Rocket themselves are a source of comedy and are the routine "bad guys" who show up in almost every episode and inevitably get defeated.

Like many cartoons, there are many moments of humor and action within the anime. [[Ash's friends]] have varied over the series and continue to show up after their departure from the main cast. Both {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}} are [[Pokémon Coordinators]] and participate in [[Pokémon Contests]], which focus more on beauty and precision as opposed to Pokémon Battles that focus on strength and speed. Other friends of Ash have slightly less defined goals. [[Misty]] is training to become the strongest {{t|Water}} Pokémon trainer, and [[Brock]] desires to become an excellent [[Pokémon Breeder]]. {{Tracey}} pursues a job as a [[Pokémon Watcher]] while [[Max]] currently has no goal at all, as Max is too young to own Pokémon, however, he does desire to be a great trainer as well.

The series is produced in Japan, and the Japanese version is considered the "true version", meaning that whatever is said in it is more true that a "dubbed" or translated version. "Dubs" are produced in various languages and they are translated after the English dubbed version is produced. The Japanese version is split into three series, but in English, the episodes are broken into roughly 52-episode "seasons", which doesn't exist in Japan, where the series has aired near continuously since its premiere.

The show is mainly aimed at children and as such, does not explore mature topics such as death, although there are some references meant for adult fans. The show generally tries to instill a sense of compassion for others in its viewers, as many characters within the show can be seen lecturing on that topics. The anime is also a large reason for the popularity of the games and the fact that Pokémon is currently the second-best selling game series in the world.

==Trivia==
* Animator Masāki Iwane 岩根正明 [[n:Masaaki Iwane: Pokémon anime originally slated for 18-month run|once stated]] that the series was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] region [[Pokémon: Indigo League|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]). Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game based anime.

'''Zangoose''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザングース''' ''Zangoose'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. It is well-known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Seviper}}.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zangoose are fairly large mammalian Pokémon that have the characteristics of mongooses and cats. They are mostly white in color, but possess deep red markings on its face, chest and paws. These markings make it appear that it has been involved in a vicious fight and is covered in "blood". They have long sharp claws that are their main weapons. In earlier sprites, these claws were purple in color.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Zangoose's {{a|Immunity}} ability makes it immune to {{status|Poison|poison}}. This is possibly an adaptation that was developed over time to deal with the [[Poison Fang (move)|fangs]] and [[Poison Tail (move)|tail]] of its nemesis, {{p|Seviper}}.

===Behavior===
Zangoose are bitter enemies with Seviper, the two will battle each other to the bitter end. It is suggested this rivalry has lasted for ages.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Unknown, though this Pokémon is found on [[Route 114]] in [[Hoenn]], so presumably grasslands with sparse trees and mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Zangoose DP051.jpg|thumb|right|Zangoose in the anime]]
Zangoose first appeared in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose]]'' under the control of [[Nicolai]].

Another Zangoose appeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' as the leader of Team Razor Wind.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', it is discovered that [[Paul]] found {{AP|Chimchar}} being attacked by a group of Zangoose. Because of the amazing power it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to capture it. Later, Chimchar was to fight another Zangoose and nearly lost to it.

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' another group of Zangoose appeared before [[Team Rocket]] and fought with [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

==Trivia==
* Despite being based on a mongoose, the Pokédex entry says that it is the "Cat Ferret Pokémon".
* Although it is stated that Seviper and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they are both in the {{egg|Ground}} egg group, meaning that they can breed in the games.
* Seviper and Zangoose's [[signature moves]] are Poison Tail and Crush Claw, respectively, and they are version-exclusive Pokémon.
* Despite its sharp claws, as well as the basis of its name (see below), Zangoose is unable to learn {{m|Cut}}.
* The rivalry between Seviper and Zangoose is based on the relationship between the {{wp|mongoose}} and the {{wp|king cobra}} - the cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world, and the mongoose is one of its few predators.
** The markings on Zangoose's chest make a stylized "M," for ''mongoose''.
* From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]], Zangoose's claws have changed from purple to black.
* Before [[Generation IV]], Zangoose was the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Crush Claw}} by leveling up.
* Zangoose is compatible with the {{gameabbrev2|R/S|E|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} move tutor that teaches {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but not the TM that teaches the move that was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
Zangoose is, as its name implies, based on a {{wp|mongoose}}.

====Name origin====
Zangoose's name is a portmanteau of ''mongoose'', a small, cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes, and 刪 ''san'', cut down.

Field Move (Ranger)

2009-02-18T18:20:39Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia */ Swim = Surf

{{search|Field Moves in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} games|the moves usable out of the battle in the main games|Field move (main games)}}
'''Field Moves''' are special moves Pokémon can use outside of battles in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Pokémon Ranger==
They were first introduced in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and are primarily used to remove an obstacle of some sort. They are similar to [[Hidden Machine]] moves from the traditional games, and two of them share names with the traditional HMs.

Aside from "Flash" and "Cross", all Field Moves come in 3 different levels of power, such as "Tackle ×1", "Tackle ×2", and "Tackle ×3".

{{Fieldmove/f}}
{{fdmv/f|Burn|Set objects on fire}}
{{fdmv/f|Cross|Hang on to a Pokémon to cross}}
{{fdmv/f|Crush|Destroy an object with physical force}}
{{fdmv/f|Cut|Slice objects}}
{{fdmv/f|Flash|Light up dark areas}}
{{fdmv/f|Gust|Blow things away with a strong wind}}
{{fdmv/f|Recharge|Restore the styler's energy}}
{{fdmv/f|Soak|Shoot out water}}
{{fdmv/f|Tackle|Push an object}}
|}

==Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia==
[[Image:Poké Assist.png|Artwork of some Field Moves|thumb]]
In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, Field Moves have changed. Some Field Move levels have gone up to ×5, but most have stayed the way {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} had them- only going up to ×3. Unlike in the original {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, the only Pokémon that don't have a Field Move are the ones that either can't be kept or the ones that are partners. Also ''Gust'' using Pokémon have either changed to ''Cut'' or in {{p|Skarmory|one exception}}, ''Demist''. ''Cross'' has been split from one Field Move used only to swing on posts to a variety of different travelling moves that involve riding on Pokémon over a variety of different terrains. Also, many new Field Moves have been created, some of which are unique, used only by certain Pokémon in certain places.

'''Azelf''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アグノム''' ''Agnome'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Azelf is the third member of the Sinnoh region's {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon [[legendary trio|trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azelf is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the [[Red Chain]]. Azelf has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with fins on the side that somewhat resembles a crown.
====Gender differences====
Azelf is genderless,
although it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].

====Special abilities====
Azelf has the ability to control one's will, according to the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon Handbook.
It can also enter the body of another Pokémon or a human. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Azelf sleeps beneath [[Lake Valor]].

===Diet===

==In the manga==
===In [[Pokémon Special]]===
Azelf appeared briefly to {{Spe|Dia}} and {{Spe|Pearl}} when they were trying to find {{Spe|Platina}} at [[Lake Valor]]. Later, {{Spe|Pearl}} is sent to guard Azelf from [[Team Galactic]].

==Trivia==
*Azelf appears as a background character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], on the stage "[[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]]".

===Origin===
Azelf appears to be a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}} and the color {{wp|cyan}}, although its name suggests that it's an {{wp|elf}}. Azelf and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the {{wp|Kusanagi}}, which embodies valor.

====Name origin====
Azelf comes from ''azure'' and ''elf'' or ''us'' and ''elf''. The first part of its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 倦ねる ''aguneru'', meaning ''to lose interest in'' and {{wp|gnome}}.

'''Ho-Oh''' (Japanese: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a [[legendary Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] has sighted several times. It has shown up at a few significant moments in his life. It was the first [[Generation II]] [[Pokémon]] to appear in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] or in any released media.

Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. However, war broke out, and when the [[Brass Tower]] was burned, Ho-Oh created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and then left. A new [[Tin Tower]] was created, but Ho-Oh never returned.

==History==
{{Ash}} first saw this [[Legendary|legendary]] [[Flying (type)|bird]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It appeared on his way to [[Viridian City]] during his first day as a [[Trainer|trainer]]. He was lying on the ground with his injured [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and saw it fly over the rainbow that appeared in the sky after a storm. His [[Pokédex]] could not identify it and explained that many Pokémon were still unknown. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', he tried to explain to [[Professor Oak]] what he had seen, though the image he used to point it out appeared to be of an {{p|Articuno}} rather than {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Either way, [[Professor Oak]] didn't believe him and brushed it off as {{Ash}} being mistaken.

[[Image:Ho-oh Full Color.jpg|thumb|left|{{p|Ho-oh}} in full color, as shown in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'']]
The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. While {{Ash}} was in [[Johto]], he explained his encounter to [[Eusine]], who also did not believe that {{Ash]] had seen this [[Legendary|legendary]] [[Pokémon]]. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-oh the Bells Toll!]]'' they heard the bells ringing in [[Tin Tower]] intended to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}}. At this point, [[Eusine]] was so upset by {{Ash}}'s claim that he challenged him to a [[Pokémon battle|battle]].

As fate would have it, Ash saw Ho-Oh a second time in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' after he parted ways with his close friends [[Brock]] and [[Misty]]. The third time he saw it was in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]'' after Ash informally challenged the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]].

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of Pokémon {{v|Gold}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with red being its dominant color. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its eye and a feathered-crest. Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it.
====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's most notable ability is its power to resurrect the dead. Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Tin Tower]] until the [[Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ho-Oh anime.PNG|thumb|Ho-Oh in the anime]]
{{an|Ho-Oh}} appeared at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky, which had a rainbow. It was also the first [[Generation II]] {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon}} ever seen.

According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. But when war broke out, burning Tin Tower and Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. Also, a sacred flame burns in [[Dragon's Den]] which came from Ho-Oh in the same ancient war that burned Tin Tower; it still burns today, protected in a shrine.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]]. This encouraged him to get over his depression and continue his own journey.

In the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh was most recently seen flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. This time, Brock, May, Max, Scott and Brandon saw Ho-Oh as well.

Ho-Oh made a small cameo in the introduction of the movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Ho-Oh was used by [[Pryce]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{special|Blue}} and {{special|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
*Aside from the opening theme song, Ho-Oh was the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] ever seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
**Ho-oh is also the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to be shown in the anime.
*Ho-Oh's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
*Ho-Oh is one of eight Pokémon to have a non-alphabetic character in its name. {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}} are the other seven Pokémon.
*Ho-Oh's [[Generation IV]] sprite is similar to its [[Generation III]] sprite, except bigger. It shares this trait with {{p|Steelix}} and {{p|Magby}}.
*Ho-Oh and {{p|Raikou}} are the only [[Generation II]] [[legendary Pokémon]] to not appear in their own {{g|movie}}.
**Ho-Oh has appeared in cameo roles in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
*Its backsprite is one of the few backsprites that has never changed its position.

===Origin===
Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from [[Sacred Ash|its own ashes]] and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that is said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.
====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''[[wp:Fenghuang|Fènghuáng]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ho-Oh

Pokémon Coordinator

2009-02-06T17:08:49Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Jessie */ "Jesselana

A '''Pokémon Coordinator''' is someone who raises [[Pokémon]] to compete in {{g|Contest}}s.

They raise their Pokémon much like {{g|Trainer}}s do, although with much more emphasis on beauty and appearances since they are major factors when it comes to points in Contests. They need to train their Pokémon to have beautiful [[move]]s, and be able to do well in {{pkmn|battle}}s, as a battle tournament is the second round of a Contest.

Coordinators need a [[Contest Pass]] from a particular region to enter Contests there. Like Trainers, coordinators travel throughout their region to catch and raise their Pokémon, however, unlike Trainers, their goal is to collect [[Ribbon]]s instead of [[badge]]s. However, unlike badges, Coordinators only get a single shot of winning a particular ribbon from a particular contest. They also must compete with other coordinators for that ribbon. They need to collect five ribbons by winning various Contests in the region in order to be able to participate in that region's [[Grand Festival]]. If they win the Grand Festival, they will be awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]].

==Coordinators in the anime==
==={{an|May}}===
{{an|May}}, a main character in [[Advanced Generation series]] of the anime, is a Pokémon Coordinator. She starts out her journey trying to become a Trainer, but after seeing a Contest, she decides to become a Coordinator. She has competed against numerous other Coordinators, including her main rivals, [[Drew]] and [[Harley]]. She has also competed against [[Solidad]], [[Kelly]], {{OBP|Anthony|Coordinator}}, and {{ho|Robert}}. May has grown in ability since she was first introduced to Contests, and has entered both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]]s. After the Kanto Grand Festival, she decided to leave Ash and [[Brock]] to travel to the [[Johto]] region to enter contests there.

===[[Jessie]]===
[[Jessie]], from [[Team Rocket]], has entered many Contests under just as many aliases, such as Jessibella, Jesselana or Jessalina, m.m. in hopes of becoming rich and famous. She has won three Contests, all of them in the [[Sinnoh]] region. One was an unofficial Contest in which she used [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash’s Aipom]]. The other two were official Contests that she won using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, respectively.

==={{Ash}}===
Ash, although mainly a {{g|Trainer}}, has entered three Contests for fun. One was an unofficial Contest in [[Terracotta Town]] in Kanto that ended in a tie with May, the second time was in [[Jubilife City]] which he entered with Dawn but they both ended up losing to [[Zoey]], and the last time was the [[Wallace Cup]] (at Wallace's request) in which he lost during the second battle round to {{si|Kyle}}.

===[[Brock]]===
Brock has also entered a couple of Pokémon Contests, usually to impress girls, but he is mainly a {{g|Breeder}}.

==={{an|Dawn}}===
{{an|Dawn}}, currently a main character in the anime, is a Pokémon Coordinator much like May was before her. She is the daughter of [[Johanna]], a famous Pokémon Coordinator in Sinnoh who won a past Sinnoh Grand Festival. Dawn has entered a few Contests and so far has won three ribbons, one of which was in the [[Wallace Cup]] at [[Valor Lakefront]]. It is still too early for her to enter the Grand Festival. She has several rivals already. [[Zoey]], {{si|Kenny}}, [[Jessie]] and [[Nando]] are a few. All of them seem to be more skilled than her.

===Others===
Other Coordinators featured in the anime are [[Dr. Abby]], who also runs a Pokémon Clinic and was a Grand Festival winner, [[Yuma]], who is also a [[Pokémon Breeder]], [[Juan]], also the [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]], and {{jo|Marina}}, [[Yuri]], [[Solidad]], [[Kelly]], {{OBP|Anthony|Coordinator}}, {{ho|Robert}}, [[Drew]], [[Harley]], [[Zoey]], [[Nando]], {{si|Kenny}}, and [[Wallace]].

==Coordinators in Manga==
===[[Daisy Oak]]===
In [[Pokémon Special]] Daisy Oak, [[Professor Oak]]'s granddaughter and {{special|Green}}'s older sister, is a skilled Pokémon Coordinator.

==={{special|Ruby}}===
Also in Pokémon Special, Ruby is a Pokémon Coordinator. He ran away from his home in [[Littleroot Town]] to be able to participate in Contests away from his father’s oppression. He was challenged by {{special|Sapphire}} to win all the Contests in Hoenn in 80 days, but was interrupted when he was needed to stop the rampaging {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

===[[Wallace]]===
Wallace is another great Coordinator featured in Pokémon Special.

==={{Ccp|Haruka}}===
[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'s main protagonist, Haruka, is a Coordinator with a {{p|Torchic}}.

==Coordinators in the video games==
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player has a chance to enter Pokémon Contests, making them a part-time Coordinator. They win ribbons after each victory. The contests in the video games are much different from those in the anime. There is no Grand Festival, and there are different [[Contest categories|categories]] and ranks. In Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, the player's mother, [[Johanna]]; the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Hearthome Gym|Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Fantina]]; and [[Johto]]'s {{ci|Olivine}} [[Olivine Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Jasmine]] are all famous Coordinators and the player's opponents in the higher ranks.

It should be noted that the term "Coodinator" has never been used in the games.

Mass outbreak

2009-02-04T12:48:34Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Generation IV */ Legendary was misspelled as Legenadary

[[Image:RanchSkittyOutbreak.jpg|250px|thumb|right|[[My Pokémon Ranch]] explains the general mechanics of a Mass Outbreak.]]
'''Mass Outbreaks''' (Japanese: '''大量発生''' ''mass outbreak''), also known as '''swarms''', is a feature that allows the {{player}} to catch Pokémon that are usually rare in their games. Mass Outbreaks became available starting in [[Generation II]].

==[[Generation II]]==
Mass Outbreaks originated in Generation II. The player could register certain trainers with the phone feature of the PokéGear, in which they would occasionally call the player to give advice of a Pokémon outbreak and its location.

==[[Generation III]]==

In Generation III this method allowed the player to catch Pokémon that would not be caught normally. This was possible due to the Record Mixing feature of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. The outbreaks were advised by [[television]]s in houses, where the Pokémon and its location was told.

==[[Generation IV]]==
Mass Outbreaks were largely expanded in Generation IV. By also using the [[Poké Radar]] and [[Dual-slot mode]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, players can get all Pokémon excluding {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Tropius}}, the [[starter Pokémon|starters]], and [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of previous generations, while Tangela, Tropius and two Legendary Trios can be regularly acquired in {{game|Platinum}}.

Many of the Pokémon obtained through Mass Outbreaks are outside of the [[Sinnoh Dex]], and are usually exclusive to other [[region]]s. Once the player attains the [[National Pokédex]], every day in a particular location, a "swarm of Pokémon" appears. By this term it is meant that the probability of finding the given Pokémon grows from 0% to 40%, making this very easy. Outbreaks last only one day and are random events. However, the player can obtain information about the current outbreak by talking to, depending on their own [[gender]], {{ga|Dawn}}'s or {{ga|Lucas}}'s sister in [[Sandgem Town]], or seeing the news report on a [[television|TV]].

Due to higher catching rates for Pokémon that appear during outbreaks, they make longer and better chains when using [[Poké Radar]].

The species of an outbreaks seems to be determined using a formula, because it is not chosen randomly when the player starts the game that day. It is also possible that the species is determined the day before, though there is no additional evidence to support this. If the DS clock is changed or a different DS is used, then the game will detect this and will not change the species swarming until 12:00 AM.

When players all join the same group, they will all experience the same outbreak on any given day.

'''Jupiter''' makes part of [[Team Galactic]]'s Commander foursome.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jupiter anime.jpg|left|240px|thumb|Jupiter in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Jupiter first appeared in [[DP097]], along with [[Saturn]], [[Mars]] and [[Cyrus]]. They stole the [[Lustrous Orb]] and the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town]] museum. She was later assigned by Cyrus to lead the capture squad for the Lake trio, along with some assistance from the Pokémon hunters.

She made a cameo towards the end of [[DP111]].

===Voice actors===

** 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]''

==In the games==
She is first seen at the uppermost floor of the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] in [[Eterna City]]. She is also briefly seen at [[Lake Acuity]], where she defeats the player's rival somewhat easily. She is later battled at [[Spear Pillar]] in a double battle with [[Mars]] against the player and his or her rival. In {{game|Platinum}} she and Mars quit [[Team Galactic]] because [[Pluto]] has different ideals than former boss [[Cyrus]].

==In the manga==

===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Jupiter has not yet appeared in Special, although both [[Saturn]] and [[Mars]] have.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Just like in the games, Jupiter was assigned to [[Lake Acuity]] to capture {{p|Uxie}}.

==Trivia==
* Jupiter's name was changed to Ceres in Spanish-language versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Jupiter is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened to [[Mars]].
* Jupiter's Japanese voice actress, [[Chinami Nishimura]], also voices [[Officer Jenny]], a police officer. Coincidentally, both names start with a J, in both Japanese (romanized) and English versions.
* Jupiter's {{p|Skunktank}} is under-leveled in the first battle, it doesn't evolve until lvl 34

Dawn's Piplup

}}

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended it after saving it from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. She also fed Piplup before receiving it from Rowan. It is voiced by 小桜エツ子 ''[[Etsuko Kozakura]]'' in Japanese and [[Michele Knotz]] in English.

Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, it seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from it. It shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

Despite its prideful and fierce attitude, it was fairly weak at first. It was easily defeated in its first {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Jessie's Seviper]]. It has grown in strength since then, defeating {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} for Dawn so she could [[captured Pokémon|capture]] it. However, it still has only decent strength at the moment.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two ribbons in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; it will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. It often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in [[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]].

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

In [[DP106]], it was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. It even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. It tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

==Moves used==
[[Image:Piplup-anime.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}}]]

* {{m|Bide}}
* {{m|BubbleBeam}}
* {{m|Peck}}
* {{m|Whirlpool}}

==Trivia==
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto''
*In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Piplup, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfits. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup, and Buneary are female. It is also seen in a cheerleader's outfit again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance]]'' cheering for Ash. However, in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', when Dawn and Ash's Pokémon are dressed as maids, Piplup, along with [[Ash's Turtwig]] and Pikachu, were all blushing in embarrassment. This could be hinting that it may be male instead.
*In ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'', Dawn tried to understand what Piplup was telling her, saying 「僕にまかせろって？」　''Boku ni makasero tte?'' meaning ''Are you trying to say "Leave it to me"?''. Dawn uses the Japanese pronoun 僕 ''Boku'' (meaning I, mostly used by males) for Piplup. This may mean Piplup is male. Within the games as well, {{p|Piplup}} have a 7/8 chance of being male. However, [[Anabel]] also uses the pronoun to refer to herself, because while ''Boku'' can be used for males and usually is, it is not unheard of for females to use it.
*The opening sequence of Pokémon shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of its [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind it, this may mean that Dawn will use a star [[seal]] on Piplup's Poké Ball in a future episode.
[[Image:Hikaritopochama.jpg|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|right]]
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of its ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never expressed distinctly that it did not like being inside of the ball.
*Due to Piplup's original name, ''Pochama'', Dawn's Piplup often says ''Piplup Pip'' in the English dub, due to the different number of syllables.
*Piplup is Dawn's only Pokémon whose species is not based on a real-world mammal.
*Piplup has battled its two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to its evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests. However, [[Kenny's Prinplup]] seems to do fine in contests, but many fans agree that Piplup fits to Dawn's stereotypically "cute" or "girly" image. It should be noted that this was only stated by Hidaka and no other cast members.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go Getters Out of the Gate''' is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in USA on September 8, 2006 on Cartoon Network.

Unlike previous special episodes, this does not take place in any continuity of the main storyline. Instead, the plot is based on the spinoff games [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. The story involves a young child turning into a {{p|Squirtle}} and teaming up with a {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Charmander}} to form a Rescue Team.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==

==Major events==
* For the first time in the English dub, Pokémon speak, instead of making noises or just saying their names (besides [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], [[Ashachu]], {{p|Slowking}}, and {{p|Gastly}}).
* Team Go-Getters complete the mission to rescue {{p|Pikachu}}.

==Comparison with the game==
<div style="border: 1px solid #aa8; background: #ffd; padding: 0.25em; margin: 0.25em 0; text-align: center;">'''[[Bulbapedia:Spoiler warning|Spoiler warning]]''': Major plot or ending details for the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game may follow.</div>
* The {{p|Caterpie}} rescue mission and the {{p|Magnemite}} rescue missions were omitted.
* The mission to Sinister Cave is actually the ''third'' storyline mission you get in the game, after completing the two mentioned above.
**While this is true, this is actually based on the [[Mt. Steel]] mission, which is the actual third mission in the game. There is no Sinister Cave in the game itself, but there is, however, a [[Sinister Woods]].
* Team A.C.T. does in fact go to Magma Cavern in the game; however, it is to battle {{p|Groudon}}, not to rescue Plusle and Minun. The player eventually goes to Magma Cavern themself in the penultimate storyline mission.
*The music is similar to the game.

==Trivia==
[[Image:PMD anime title.jpg|The title|thumb]]
* The episode is animated by Team Koitabashi, which usually handles the movies.
* The episode is storyboarded by [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], who also usually handles the movies.
* The episode has music producers, which are usually only found in the movies, both short and long.
* The only Pokémon in this episode that ''didn't'' speak human language were Golbat and Shroomish.
* Most of the background music in the episode was taken from the game score, which was composed by Arata Iiyoshi and Atsuhiro Ishizuna. Unusually for the Pokémon anime, the music was not arranged by [[Miyazaki Shinji]], at least according to the Japanese credits: the US credits list Miyazaki Shinji as the composer.
* The episode ends with ''To be continued'', despite there being no indication of a continuation of this storyline.
* The copyright notice for the episode reads: ''© 2006 Pokémon/CHUNSOFT/ShoPro. © 1995-2006 Nintendo/Creatures inc./GAME FREAK inc. © 1993-2006 CHUNSOFT.'' Compare ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', which reads ''© 2006 Pokémon USA, Inc./ShoPro. © 2006 Pokémon. © 1995 - 2006 Nintendo / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc.'.
* The title shown some time during the beginning was colored blue only, not red, similar to that of the cover of both games.
* This special aired in USA first, then Japan.

===Errors===
* When Gengar ordered Ekans to eat up all the berries that Team Go-Getters collected, he called the Poisonous Snake Pokémon ''{{p|Arbok}}'', which may be a misinterpretation of the Japanese name of {{p|Ekans}}, ''Arbo''. This error was also present in the Japanese version and even in the credits.
**If one listens closely to Ekans' response after the error, he replies with "Gee, thanks," as if the mistake was made to be intentional.
* There are no {{p|Shroomish}} in [[Lapis Cave]]...

===Dub edits===
* The Arbok error was corrected in a reairing of the episode on September 30, 2006.

Team Rocket motto

2008-12-10T14:08:41Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Hungry for the Good Life! motto */

The '''Team Rocket motto''' is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past.

===Original motto===
{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}

|-

|-

|}

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has used rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'', where Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

It should also be noted that this version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts where Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in [[DP092]], as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

====Variations in [[original series]]====

At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!

:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!

=====''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' motto=====

:'''James:''' And split the spoils with one another!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Thieves return under cover of night!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

=====''[[EP158|The Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' motto=====
This motto was recited by Jessie and James after they had confused some wares at a food store with free samples and had been caught by a saleswoman.

:'''Jessie:''' Now you're in for a bunch of trouble!

:'''Jessie:''' To eat and drink to our hearts' content!
:'''James:''' Without even having to spend a single cent!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of paying for food!
:'''James:''' We won't leave a single sample unchewed!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket loves scarfing down free samples at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Yes, and we like to eat even more than we like to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

This episode is also notable due to the fact that Team Rocket did not shout out their usual "blasting off" phrase in it, even before disappearing in the [[Magnet Train]] tunnel although the shining star did appear.

=====''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'' motto=====
In this episode Team Rocket breaks into a castle that later appeared to be a hospital, where Pokémon were used to treat people. Upon stealing some food from the dining room and trying to get away, Team Rocket was caught by [[Dr. Anna]] and Brock.

:'''James:''' Maybe I can get rid of my prickly heat!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's been scratching at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' So give us some salve or we'll never sleep tonight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right.

=====''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' motto=====
In this episode Jessie and James enter a Pokémon Beauty Contest, pretending not to be members of Team Rocket (they even forbid Meowth to talk). Because they want to be the first to show their Pokémon in order to make a better impression on the judges, they lock up the first contestant and appear on the stage instead of him. A small delay happens due to this.

:'''Jessie:''' Sorry we're late, it takes a while...
:'''James:''' ...to give our Pokémon flare and style!
:'''Jessie:''' We hope our Pokémon will amaze all of you!
:'''James:''' We're giving each one a look that's brand new!
:'''Jessie:''' We're creating a trend and it's gonna be big!
:'''James (''combing a wig on Jessie's Wobbuffet''):''' And this doesn't even look like a wig!
:'''Jessie:''' We two aren't fakers!
:'''James:''' We're style makers!
:'''Jessie:''' We're cutting and curling at the speed of light!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect ourselves from being poor!
:'''James:''' When we get enough, we'll still get more!

:'''James:''' Then there won't be anything we can't afford!

:'''Jessie:''' I'll rule the world with power and might!
:'''James:''' She'll capture Pokémon without a fight!

:'''James:''' To light up whole world with my volbeatness!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the scented speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare yourself for a [[Sweet Scent (move)|sweet-scented]] fight!
:'''Meowth:''' That's right!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!

=====''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'' motto=====
In this episode Jessie can't register in a Pokémon Contest, so she tries to steal {{an|May}} and [[Savannah]]'s ribbons. James and Meowth aren't really in the mood to Jessie's evil plans, so they recite their lines with low emotion.

:'''Savannah:''' Hey, those aren't yours!
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, they are today!
:'''James (''unmotivated''):''' If you can't win them, steal them, that's what we always say!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect my entry status from devastation!
:'''James (''unmotivated''):''' To allow a certain contestant to complete her registration!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of losing, that's true!
:'''James (''unmotivated''):''' To extend her winning streak from 0 to 2!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James (''unmotivated''):''' And James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
:'''James (''unmotivated''):''' Surrender now, do me a favor or I'll have to fight!
:'''Jessie:''' This contest will have a cute winner by tonight!
:'''Meowth (''unmotivated''):''' Meowth, that's right!
:'''Wobbuffet (''super happy''):''' Wobbuffet!

====Song version====
{{main|Team Rocket Forever}}

===Battle Frontier===
During the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto, likely to reflect the fact that the motto changed in the Japanese version at the start of the [[Advanced Generation series]]:

{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}

| '''ムサシ:''' なんだかんだと声がする || '''''Musashi:''' There is a voice saying something.'' || '''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble from beyond the skies!

|}

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG175|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

=====Cassidy's and James's motto=====
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe!
:'''James:''' Of pie!?
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...

=====Jessie's and Butch's motto=====
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}

|-
| '''ムサシ:''' なんだかんだの声を聞き || '''''Musashi:''' We hear voices saying this and that...'' || '''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a voice I hear?

|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 天使か悪魔か　その名を呼べば || '''''Musashi:''' Whether angels or demons, if you call the name,'' || '''Jessie:''' A rose by any other name is just as sweet.

|-
| '''ソーナンス:''' ソーナンス || '''''Sonans:''' {{tt|Sōnansu!|Of course!}}'' || '''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
|}

They often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

====''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' motto====

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that big money calling below?
:'''James:''' The sound of success tells me so!

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that the voice of [[twerp]]ly gloom?
:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' Join our pity party, there's plenty of room.
:'''Jessie:''' On the wind,
:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' The stars,
:'''Meowth (''unenthusiastically''):''' We're doomed.
:'''Jessie:''' Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace,
:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' She's dashed all my hope, what a... bummer.

:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' When everything's worse, then of course... it's much worse.
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' James, the pain.
:'''Meowth (''unenthusiastically''):''' I can't say... my name.
:'''Jessie:''' Putting all you do-gooders in your place!
:'''James (''unenthusiastically''):''' Team Rocket, sad to say...
:'''Jessie:''' We're in your face!
:'''James and Meowth (''unenthusiastically''):''' Ouch.
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime, mime, mime!

====''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race]]'' motto====
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]] calling out to implore?

:'''Jessie:''' {{AP|Pikachu}}!
:'''James:''' It's true!
:'''Meowth:''' Time to score!
:'''Jessie:''' We've had such a rough day,
:'''James:''' But, now it's time to play.
:'''Jessie:''' We've paid all our dues by blasting off early,
:'''James:''' But we're back here again and feeling quite surly!
:'''Jessie:''' With Jessie!
:'''James:''' And James, too!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, Ya-Hoo!
:'''Jessie:''' Putting the maze losers in their place!
:'''James:''' We're Team Rocket...!
:'''All:''' In your face!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime, mime, mime!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' motto====
Jessie pretends to be a psychic to catch {{p|Spiritomb}} and Pikachu.

:'''Jessie:''' I don't have to be psychic to know the truth.
:'''James:''' Especially when dealing with [[twerp]]ish youth
:'''Jessie:''' On the wind,
:'''James:''' The stars,
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah, forsooth!
:'''Jessie:''' Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace,

:'''Jessie:''' Putting the do-gooders in their place!
:'''James:''' We're Team Rocket...!
:'''All:''' In your face!

====''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'' motto====
In this episode, Team Rocket steal water to build a hot spring, at the expense of [[Leona]]'s family's hot spring. The first line builds off of an earlier line about {{wp|juvenile court}}.

:'''Jessie:''' Looks like this court sides with the twerps. But we object, of course!
:'''James:''' You're twerps, consider the source.
:'''Jessie:''' On the wind,
:'''James:''' The stars,

:'''James:''' Team Rocket...!
:'''All:''' We're In your face!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime, mime, mime, mime!

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}' {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'' where Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, [[Cassidy's Raticate]] appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch's Shuckle]] appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original Motto====
{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Japanese
! Translation
! English
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble...
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' ...and make it double!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To infect the world with devastation!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To blight all people in every nation!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To extend our wrath to the stars above!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Butch, of course!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and all night!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[Image:AshBrockTR.png|thumb|left|Copycats...]]
[[Image:MistyDuplicaTR.png|thumb|right|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and his friends during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', where Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!". The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself, with Jessie saying "Hey, wait a second, aren't those our lines?" after the first two lines. In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealled that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was diferent, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Ash (''after Team Rocket's reaction''):''' You got that right!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make greate epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====

:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====

:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ear!
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!

===Blasting off===
When defeated, and flying off due to a Pokémon's attack or a malfunction in their mech, Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry "We're blasting off again!" before disappearing into the distance with a star. This usually happens only once each episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', where they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off", however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

==In the manga==
In the Pokémon Special manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''asks

==Trivia==
* The [[Team Rocket's mottos#Battle Frontier|variation used during the Battle Frontier]] is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the ''[[Original Series]]'', he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch said along with [[Cassidy]] "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'' he was the one who begun the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'' he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', where he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]] the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* In the ''[[Advanced Generation series]]'' there were two variations of the motto for each [[season]]. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' they were in the episodes ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'' and in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]''. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' they were in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' and in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' they were in ''[[AG096|Training Wrecks!]]'' and in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' (this was also a song). In the ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' both variations were in the episode ''[[The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''.
** The two variations used in ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' were said in the first and last episode with [[Brawly]], respectively.

Team Rocket motto

2008-12-10T14:08:07Z

Uppfinnarn: /* Sinnoh */ Hungry for the Good Life!

The '''Team Rocket motto''' is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past.

===Original motto===

|}

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has used rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'', where Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

It should also be noted that this version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts where Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in [[DP092]], as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

=====''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' motto=====
In this episode Jessie and James enter a Pokémon Beauty Contest, pretending not to be members of Team Rocket (they even forbid Meowth to talk). Because they want to be the first to show their Pokémon in order to make a better impression on the judges, they lock up the first contestant and appear on the stage instead of him. A small delay happens due to this.

:'''Jessie:''' We hope our Pokémon will amaze all of you!

====Song version====

===Battle Frontier===
During the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto, likely to reflect the fact that the motto changed in the Japanese version at the start of the [[Advanced Generation series]]:

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG175|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

They often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}' {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'' where Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, [[Cassidy's Raticate]] appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch's Shuckle]] appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original Motto====
{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Japanese
! Translation
! English
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble...
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' ...and make it double!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To infect the world with devastation!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To blight all people in every nation!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To extend our wrath to the stars above!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Butch, of course!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and all night!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[Image:AshBrockTR.png|thumb|left|Copycats...]]
[[Image:MistyDuplicaTR.png|thumb|right|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and his friends during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', where Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!". The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself, with Jessie saying "Hey, wait a second, aren't those our lines?" after the first two lines. In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealled that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was diferent, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Ash (''after Team Rocket's reaction''):''' You got that right!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make greate epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====

:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====

:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ear!
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!

===Blasting off===
When defeated, and flying off due to a Pokémon's attack or a malfunction in their mech, Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry "We're blasting off again!" before disappearing into the distance with a star. This usually happens only once each episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', where they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off", however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

==In the manga==
In the Pokémon Special manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''asks

==Trivia==
* The [[Team Rocket's mottos#Battle Frontier|variation used during the Battle Frontier]] is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the ''[[Original Series]]'', he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch said along with [[Cassidy]] "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'' he was the one who begun the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'' he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', where he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]] the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* In the ''[[Advanced Generation series]]'' there were two variations of the motto for each [[season]]. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' they were in the episodes ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'' and in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]''. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' they were in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' and in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''. In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' they were in ''[[AG096|Training Wrecks!]]'' and in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' (this was also a song). In the ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' both variations were in the episode ''[[The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''.
** The two variations used in ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' were said in the first and last episode with [[Brawly]], respectively.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} by {{stone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, and the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.

====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}} but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. Other rare cases show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}, removing its weakness to {{t|Ground}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. In fact, Pikachu have been known to have a fondness of ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[Image:pikachu_thunderbolt.jpg|left|frame|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]][[Image:025-Pikachu.jpg|right|thumb|Pikachu from the anime]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Pikachu}} that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon movie.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.

Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named {{Ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

Ash gets turned into a [[Ashachu|Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Great Story!]]''. This Pikachu evolved into a Raichu near the end of the episode.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{PiPiPi|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

A more mouse-like [[Isamu Akai's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shuu]]'s first Pokémon was a Pikachu he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Golden Boys]], [[Gold (Golden Boys)|Gold]] was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by [[Anabel]] has a Pikachu on the cover.

===Pokémon Special===
'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.

Both {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Yellow}} have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is captured by Red.

In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into {{Special|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the RS and DP sagas.

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

In the TCG, Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be at least 30 known Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as [[No.1 Trainer (Tournament promo)|No.1 Trainer]].

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

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

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Pikachu|18}}

==Other appearances==
Pikachu has the honor of being one of the mascots of the Smash Bros. series, alongside Mario, Link and Kirby.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is in the fifth box of the second row. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is initially placed to the right of Mario but moves to the bottom row after Luigi is unlocked. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====

*'''[[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]]:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''

*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====
''"A [[Species|Mouse Pokémon]]. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
* [[Pokémon Pinball]]: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball but is sometimes helped by {{p|Pichu}}. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s Standard Special Move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.
Also, as of Generation I, Skull Bash is no longer usable by Pikachu legally.

==Trivia==

* Pikachu's tail appears to be backwards in its [[Generation II]] back sprites, with the end of the tail pointing upwards instead of behind it.
**As well as this, the tail is spiky in [[Generation I]], but straight-edged from [[Generation II]] onwards.
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond, Pearl}} and {{game|Platinum}}.
** Additionally, a Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
*** A Surfing Pikachu can also be won through the use of Pokémon Stadium. Players must beat Prime Cup Master Ball R-2 using a team containing a Pikachu from the player's game pak. The Pikachu must be used in every battle, and no continues may be used.
* Pikachu's number in the National Pokédex (25) happens to be the reversed version of {{p|Meowth}}'s (52). It is unknown whether or not this was intentional, however, in the anime, [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] are rivals and also as Cat and Mouse Pokémon.
** Coincidentially, both Pikachu and Meowth's shiny forms are orange.
* Pikachu is the smallest and lightest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is not fully-evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed-- to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column].
* Pikachu assumes a pose that is identical to the pose of the Pikachu on the box art of Yellow during its battle animation in Diamond and Pearl.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only native to Kanto out of the four main series regions. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh.
* Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow was the first Pokémon to naturally learn a move taught by a Gym Leader's TM ([[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} in its introductory generation and the only one until Generation III.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was once the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. However, since the release of {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Pearl}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}.
* Pikachu was not the original [[Pokémon]] mascot. It was supposed to be {{p|Clefairy}}, but this was changed because of the popularity of [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p2|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from said game.
*Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for, it is also the only starter who has already evolved when it is received (though Pichu did not yet exist).
*Pikachu's belly in its Generation I front sprite seems to have a relation to {{p|Raichu}}'s belly.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein had amazing speed and agility. Plus, it carries '''electrical''' impulses to the eye.

Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice and squirrels.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely.
Its name may also be based on the term ''peekaboo''.

Pokémon breeding

Uppfinnarn: /* What will hatch */

{{spading|Pokémon breeding|comment=What are the hidden factors for the number of steps required to hatch an egg?}}

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of making a new [[Pokémon]] by producing and hatching a {{pkmn|egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the {{g|Daycare}} in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], and [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[Egg Group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned legendaries) can only breed with Ditto.

====Receiving the egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Daycare, for every 256 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether or not the old man has found an egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), or facing the road ([[Generation IV]]). The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the egg if the player responds "No".

====What will hatch====
After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]]) version of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain (or the non-Ditto parent).

|- align=center
| {{p|Raichu}}♀
| +
| {{p|Wigglytuff}}♂
| =
| {{p|Pichu}}
|}

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will ''not'' produce the female counterpart. The pairs are the following:

*{{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}
*{{p|Illumise}} and {{p|Volbeat}}

Note that while {{p|Miltank}} and {{p|Tauros}} are considered to be the female and male of the same species in the canon, for the purposes of breeding they are separate species, meaning there is '''no''' way to produce a Tauros from a Miltank egg, or vice versa; a Miltank always hatches from a Miltank egg. This means that despite the fact that Tauros is a gendered Pokémon, the only way to hatch one from an egg is to breed a Tauros with a {{p|Ditto}}.

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents held a certain type of [[held item]]: [[Incense]].

| [[Image:298.png]] {{p|Azurill}}
|- align=center

| [[Image:183.png]] {{p|Marill}}
|}

Other Pokémon like this include {{p|Wobbuffet}} in [[Generation III]] and beyond, and {{p|Roselia}}/{{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mantine}} in [[Generation IV]] and beyond. Each requires a different attached incense to breed the baby form.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the species. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch.

"Time" is actually determined in steps. For example, a {{p|Gligar}} takes 6364 steps to hatch. Therefore, riding a [[bike]] would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is in the [[party]], it reduces the hatching time by half: A Gligar egg would take only 3282 steps if a {{p|Slugma}} is in the party. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]].

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn at a level of 5 or lower.
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Technical Machine|TM]] or [[Hidden Machine|HM]] moves that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg moves]] that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pokémon Daycare.

In {{game|Emerald}} (and subsequently [[Generation IV]]), there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. It should be noted that the parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[Individual values|Individual Values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game|Ruby}}, {{v2|Sapphire}}, {{v2|FireRed}} and {{v2|LeafGreen}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Natures|Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs and Nature in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}. The only minor exception is in the case of inheriting Nature, which is not influenced by Everstone when breeding two Pokémon that do not originate from games of the same language.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{g|Breeder}}s, such as [[Brock]]. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce {{g|egg}}s of various species. {{Ash}} received his [[Ash's Phanpy|egg]] from such a location, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Eevee|egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.

==Trivia==
*Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. Pokémon which breed differently depending on whether or not they hold an [[Incense]] item, are particularly debated. Most fans perceive the necessity of the Incense items as a mere excuse for the fact that the [[baby Pokémon]] could not be previously obtained. Perhaps also surprisingly, these baby Pokémon have different egg move lists than those of their evolved forms.

*Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. This has led fans to view Pokémon breeding as being quite different from real-life mating. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed.

*One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p2|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can. No reason has been provided for this.

*Although there is no way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in {{g|Snap}} and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{g|Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.

*When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around the {{player}}'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity has been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.

*No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]].

*Often, people believe breeding a [[shiny]] Pokémon will raise the chances of the offspring being a shiny Pokémon. This is true in the [[Generation II]] games, as the Pokémon within the egg may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, however, this doesn't apply to the newer Generations, where even if two shiny Pokémon breed, the chances of the offspring being a shiny is still 1/8192.

'''Parasect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パラセクト''' ''Parasect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Paras}} at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its previous stage Paras, Parasect is an insectoid creature. However, in this stage the mushroom has completely overtaken the host's body. The insect has been drained of nutrients and is now under the control of the fully grown tochukaso.

Due to the influence of the tochukaso in its growth, the insect's metamorphosis has been stunted and it instead resembles a grotesque, exaggerated version of its {{p2|Paras|former self}}. Its pincers and legs have grown much larger and the mushrooms on its back have grown together into one giant mushroom. Its eyes have become whited out, likely due to its being possessed by the tochukaso.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
The mushroom completely takes over its host's body. Parasect now has more control over it. It still releases irritating spores that can paralyze, poison, or put to sleep.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Parasect can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in dank forests with lots of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:ParasectAnime.jpg|thumb|left|Parasect in the anime]][[Cassandra]] uses a {{p|Paras}} which evolves in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''.

[[Officer Jenny]] uses a Parasect in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]''.

In [[EP241|Hocus Pokemon]], Ash needed Stun Spore from a Parasect to complete a Spell

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Crystal}} uses a Parasect extensively in her Pokémon capturing, using its {{M|Spore}} attack to put targets to sleep. In {{PSV|10}}, her Parasect is seen to be capable of increasing the radius of its Spore attack to at least three kilometres. In {{PSV|11}}, the origin of Crystal's Parasect is revealed: it, along with Crystal's {{P|Natu}}, {{P|Hitmonchan}} and {{P|Cubone}}, were wild Pokémon living in [[Mt. Mortar]] and had fought with a local {{P|Arcanine}} that had gone berserk from a severe eye injury. Parasect was able to create medicinal spores to help Arcanine heal and Crystal recover from her fractured arms. In {{PSV|13}}, Crystal reveals yet another ability of Parasect: it is able to use the powder attacks it possesses to combine into a wider range of spores, including one for corroding metals.

==Trivia==
* Parasect's [[Pokédex]] entry for [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] connects the [[Pokémon world]] with [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|our own]]. It says "The bug host is controlled by the mushrooms that scatter poisonous spores. The spores are sometimes used as medicine in '''China'''."
* Parasect and {{p|Paras}} are the only Pokémon in the game to take more than 4 times as much damage from any one type of attack (if they have the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, they both take 5× damage, from {{type2|Fire}} attacks).
* Of the [[Generation I]] {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, Parasect ties with {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Scyther}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* In Generation I, {{type2|Poison}} attacks are super effective against Bug-types, making Parasect and Paras the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses.
* Parasect is one of the few Pokémon not in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] that has different [[Pokédex]] entries in [[Diamond and Pearl]].
*Its {{Game|Yellow}} sprite is the only one in which its mouth is open.
*Paras, Parasect, and {{p|Wormadam}} in its Plant Cloak are the only {{type2|Bug}}s that also take super-effective damage from Bug attacks, due to their part {{t|Grass}} typing.
===Origin===
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Parasect's design, like the ''entomophthora muscae'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. Its base insect is a distorted version of what is probably a cicada nymph, the parasetic fungi having caused a form of {{wp|neoteny}}.
====Name origin====
Parasect's name is a combination of ''{{wp|parasite}}'' and ''{{wp|insect}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} on this insect's back.

'''Cream of the Croagunk Crop!''' (Japanese: '''ノモセ大湿原のグレッグル祭り！?''' ''The {{tt|Gureggru|Croagunk}} Festival of the {{tt|Nomose|Pastoria}} Great Marsh!?'') is the 82nd episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 548th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It aired in Japan on June 5, 2008 and in the United States on November 15, 2008.

Ash and his friends have arrived in [[Pastoria City]] and head to the Gym. The Gym Leader, Wake, comes out but denies Ash's request for a Gym Battle because of an urgent matter. The group decides to accompany him instead and follow him onto a train. Where are they heading?

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
Ash and co. arrive at [[Pastoria City]] and run into [[Crasher Wake]]. He introduces himself and Ash immediately challenges him to a Gym Battle. Crasher Wake says he has some business to attend to and asks Ash and co. if they'd like to accompany him.

They hurry to catch the tram that takes them through the [[Great Marsh]]. When they arrive, Crasher Wake rushes ahead and they arrive at an open field at sunset. They're startled by glowing eyes in the bushes, which turn out to be a bunch of wild {{p|Croagunk}}. Then, they follow a bunch of Croagunk trainers to a giant {{p|Croagunk}} Temple. They meet up with Crasher Wake again, who informs them of the Croagunk Festival and the ancient tradition of battling {{p|Croagunk}}, with the leader becoming Champion of the Great Marsh.

Brock intrudes in an argument between [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Hamilton]], a {{tt|brunet|green-blue-haired in the first airing of the episode}} male whose Croagunk won last year's Croagunk Championship. Brock goes crazy for Nurse Joy, proposing a marriage of their Croagunk, only to be Poison Jab'd by his own Croagunk..and dragged off-screen.

[[Team Rocket]] arrives at the Great Marsh. [[James]] recalls his childhood, during which he first met and rescued his {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, who was trapped in the Great Marsh mud.

Ash and co. enjoy the evening festival, eating Croagunk cookies and watching Croagunk-shaped fireworks. Crasher Wake MCs the event and introduces Hamilton, the defending Champion, who places his Croagunk's crown on a pedestal - to be won by this year's Champion. Crasher Wake, the operator of the rail system, and Nurse Joy judge the competition.

All of the Croagunk take turns coming on stage, crouching, and croaking. The judges are excited by their performance, but Ash. and co are confused. Brock's Croagunk takes the stage and the judges are impressed by his Croagunk's croak.

Team Rocket dresses Meowth up in a Croagunk costume(that makes him look mole like [[Saturn]] than a [[Croagunk (Pokémon)|Croagunk]]) and sends him out on stage. Meowth is thoroughly embarrassed, but the crowd and judges go wild for it. Hamilton is unimpressed.

Crasher Wake announces the brick-breaking contest. Brock's Croagunk uses {{m|Brick Break}} and breaks all of the bricks! Meowth takes the stage next, to high anticipation. He charges up, attacks the bricks, but can't break a single one.

Crasher Wake announces a championship battle between Brock's Croagunk and Hamilton's. They take to the boxing ring and begin the match! Hamilton's Croagunk uses {{m|Cross Chop}}. The dueling Croagunks trade jabs and {{an|Dawn}} has trouble figuring which one is which.

Out of nowhere, Team Rocket storms the festival in a giant Croagunk robot. It's tongue steals the prized crown. Brock and Hamilton's Croagunks attack the robot, but are trapped by the tongue. Crasher Wake steps in to help, but suddenly remembers that he left of all his Pokéballs at the gym! Everyone else's Croagunks attack the giant robot, but they're scooped into its belly! Nurse Joy's Croagunk heavily damages the robot, followed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

Crasher Wake retrieves the crown and asks the crowd if they agree that Nurse Joy's Croagunk won this year's championship. He awards her with the crown.

Afterward, Crasher Wake tells Ash that he was impressed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and accepts his challenge for a Gym Battle, but it'll have to be held the next day as there's still plenty of partying to do. And so, with Ash's fourth Sinnoh Gym Battle on the horizon, everyone finishes out the tradition Croagunk Festival evening with dancing.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and friends arrive in [[Pastoria City]] and meet its Gym Leader, [[Crasher Wake]].
* The location of the capture of [[James's Carnivine]] is revealed.
* [[Nurse Joy]]'s Croagunk wins the Croagunk Championship.

* Details of this episode were actually made known in [[K-Zone]], a children's magazine, before any official Japanese episode listing.
*Instead of [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. This is part of a countdown to ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''
* Learning how James and Carnivine met could explain why Carnivine is so affectionate.
* ''[[Pokémon Ondo]]'' is used as background music.
* The background music from ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' is also used in this episode.
* The diamond and pearl on the crown are references to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* The segment where Brock fantasizes about marrying Nurse Joy and his Croagunk marrying hers echoes that of a similar fantasy he had in ''[[EP165|Hassle In The Castle]]'' where he dreamed of marrying [[Dr. Anna|a woman]] while his {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} married her {{p|Zubat}}. Coincidentally, both Croagunk and Zubat (now Crobat) are Brock's only {{type2|Poison}}s and, after the fantasies, confirmed males.
* The dub title refers to the phrase "the cream of the crop".
*James caught his {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]] (which makes sense, since it is the only known place to catch a {{p|Carnivine}} in [[Sinnoh]]), yet he keeps it in a regular [[Poké Ball]], rather than a [[Safari Ball]], though this may be because he officially captured it outside of the Marsh. A similar situation was made with Ash's Tauros where, despite their being captured in Safari Balls, they occasionally appear in Poké Balls.
*Hamilton's hair, eyes, eyebrows, and face shape were changed sometime after the character was first seen, and he no longer has sunglasses; his own Japanese name as well as Craig's were also changed. Contrary to popular belief, the changes to his appearance are not dub-exclusive changes, but changes made by the Japanese producers to avoid lawsuits from the makers of {{wp|Dokonjō Gaeru}}. Hamilton was meant to be a direct parody of the main character of the series, Hiroshi.

'''Team Shocker!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト！ズイ大会！！''' ''Pokémon Contest! {{tt|Zui|Solaceon}} Convention!!'') is the 61st episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 527th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on December 20, 2007 along with ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', and in the United States on June 14, 2008.

{{an|Dawn}} prepares for the {{pkmn|Contest}} taking place the next day. Although the training flows smoothly, she has fierce competition this time, including {{si|Kenny}} and his new partner, a {{p|Breloom}}. Will Dawn be able to win her second ribbon despite dropping out after the first round in her last Contest?
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
It is the day before the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, and Ash is attempting to train {{AP|Turtwig}} to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, while {{si|Kenny}} and his Breloom watch on. However the training is not going well, and the Energy Ball backfires before taking form, sending Turtwig flying. Kenny comments that while Turtwig is having problems with the forming, it is concentrating hard enough which is half the battle. Ash compliments his Turtwig, knowing they will have to take their time. Meanwhile {{an|Dawn}} is preparing for the contest with her newly-evolved {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, and she is determined to win after failing to pass the appeal rounds in her [[DP049|last contest]]. Ambipom practices its {{m|Swift}} attack, and creates a dazzling rainbow as a result. After finishing, Dawn gives Ambipom and her other Pokémon some [[Poffin]] as her gratitude for their hard work. [[Brock]] compliments Ambipom's performance. Dawn tells Brock that after losing the Hearthome Contest, she had decided not to go with a double performance this time but focus on Ambipom performing its Swift attack over and over. Brock praises Dawn's strategy, and it's clear both she and Ambipom are excited for the contest. Dawn and Ambipom then practice the routine again.

But Dawn isn't the only one preparing, as [[Jessie]] (who is entering under the name Jessalina) is also getting ready alongside {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. Naturally she has envisioned winning, using [[James]] and {{MTR}}'s strategy, which worries James and Meowth since they haven't thought actually thought of one. Jessie pulls them up on their obvious nervousness, and they lie and tell her they've thought of one. Jessie and Dustox leave to get ready for the contest, while James and Meowth know their lives won't be worth living if Jessie doesn't win.

The day of the contest has arrived, and the stands are filled with excited people (apart from James and Meowth). Ash tells {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} to cheer extra loud for Ambipom. [[Marian]] shows off the Solaceon [[Ribbon]] that the entrants are competing for, with Dawn, Kenny and Jessie all hoping to win it. [[Contesta]], [[Sukizō]] and Solaceon's [[Nurse Joy]] all give their introductions, and with [[Johanna]] and her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} watching at home, the contest begins.

Kenny is up first, and has Breloom begin with a {{m|Stun Spore}}. As the stage fills with the Stun Spore, Breloom's coat begins to shine. Kenny then has Breloom use Energy Ball, and after using its tail to send the Energy Ball to the ceiling, Breloom uses {{m|Mach Punch}} on the Energy Ball, making the whole stage and Breloom shine. The crowd is enraptured, and the judges pass their compliments on. Dawn is more determined than ever to do well. In the stands, Ash notices that Piplup is worried for Dawn after seeing how well Kenny has improved.

After a few more performances, it's now Jessie's turn. Jessie sends Dustox out from its [[Poké Ball]] and it flies around showing off its shining scales. Jessie tells Dustox to use {{m|Whirlwind}} and when it's does, the audience is astounded to see Jessie lifted off the ground. She floats around for the while, and while the rest of the audience is mesmerized, Ash, Brock, James and Meowth aren't that impressed. Dawn and Kenny are also watching backstage and can't believe what they're seeing. Jessie then finishes the performance by having Dustox use {{m|Psybeam}}, which causes a plume of green smoke. After a few seconds it clears to show Jessie and Dustox having finished their performance in style. The judges are very impressed by Jessie and Dustox being so in sync with each other.

It's finally Dawn's turn, and with her friends cheering in the stands, she starts with having Ambipom use {{m|Double Hit}}, sending shockwaves throughout the contest hall. She then has Ambipom begin its Swift routine. Ambipom, standing on one its arms, starts to spin and release the Swift from its tail. As the stars from Swift hit each other, the rainbow effect is produced even better than before. [[Zoey]] is watching from a {{g|Center}} but it's clear she's not impressed. Dawn has Ambipom spin faster and faster, and the stars completely consume the stage creating more of the rainbow effect and blocking Ambipom from view. Kenny and Jessie watch from backstage, and neither of them are enjoying the performance. While Ash thinks Dawn is giving an exceptional performance, Brock is worried about Dawn's overuse of Swift. With the judges watching on, Dawn ends the performance to cheers from the crowd.

Backstage, Ash and Brock congratulate Dawn on her performance. It's time to announce who has made it past the appeal rounds into the battle stages. Ambipom is very nervous, but Dawn tells it not to worry but to get ready for the second round. Eventually the faces start popping up, and both Kenny and Jessie (much to James and Meowth's relief) have made it through. The final faces appear on screen, and Dawn is nowhere to be seen. Finally, as the last face is about to appear, Dawn faces an agonizing wait. The final entry is revealed, and it isn't Dawn, meaning that she hasn't made it past the appeal round for the second contest in a row! Ambipom is left terribly sad, and Johanna feels very disappointed for her daughter. No-one is sure what to say to Dawn, but she surprised everyone by putting on a brave face and encourages Kenny to get ready for the battles. After noticing how upset Ambipom is, Dawn gently pats her on the head. Jessie, on the other hand, cannot help but rub Dawn's face in her loss and tries to force her out of the backstage but Dawn, all smiles, tells Jessie she's staying. Ash notices that despite her smile, Dawn is far more disappointed than she's letting on.

Both Kenny and Jessie make it through to the final, and it's Dustox versus {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Dustox avoids a {{m|Drill Peck}} and hits Prinplup with a Psybeam. Everyone backstage is rooting for Kenny apart from Dawn, who is now feeling very sorry for herself. The battle is hard fought, leading to the time running out and as Dustox is left with the most points, Jessie is declared the winner! Having finally won her first Ribbon, Jessie is delighted and the judges note how relaxed she was in this Contest compared to others. James and Meowth also note how confident Jessie was this time around and with that, the Solaceon Contest draws to a close.

Later that afternoon, Kenny is preparing to leave and tells Dawn he'll see her in the next contest. However, Dawn's confidence has taken a serious blow and she doesn't think she'll attend the next contest. Kenny tells Dawn that he won't let her quit contests, and then after telling Ash to keep working on Turtwig's Energy Ball, bids the gang farewell. Dawn then runs to her room, unsure of what to do now. Dawn returns to her bed in the Pokémon Center, feeling very sorry for herself. Having lost two contests in the row without even making it past the Appeal Rounds despite trying her best, Dawn is no longer sure if she's cut out for contests and after looking at the Ribbon Johanna gave her at the beginning of her journey, cries herself to sleep...

The next day, Ash and Brock are ready to leave Solaceon Town, but Dawn hasn't turned up as she's still fast asleep in bed. Suddenly, the two get a huge surpise, as Zoey turns up to see Dawn. Zoey tells Dawn to get out of bed and asks her for a battle, and to partner with Ambipom based on the previous day's appeal.

On the battlefield, with Zoey using her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}, Dawn has Ambipom use Swift in the same way it did before. As Ambipom is covered with the stars, Zoey then points out where Dawn is going wrong... while the move is pretty and impressive the flaw is that Ambipom can no longer be seen. The point of an Appeal is to show off the Pokémon, like Kenny and Jessie did with theirs. Zoey then has Glameow use {{m|Iron Tail}} to smash through the stars, then hits Ambipom with a {{m|Shock Wave}} knocking it back to Dawn.

As Zoey tends to Ambipom, Zoey tells Dawn that the reason she passed on the Solaceon Contest after losing at [[Hearthome City]] was because after a loss, she took the chance to recharge, start focusing on what was important and get ready for the next challenge. Zoey also tells Dawn that at the end of the day, Ribbons aren't really that important, and Zoey is also certain she'll see Dawn at the [[Grand Festival]]. Dawn is left feeling a lot better after the talk, and now knows she needs to take her time instead of rushing into every contest. With her confidence restored, Dawn then decides to turn this defeat into a chance to learn and the gang set off for [[Veilstone City]], where Ash hopes to compete for his next [[Gym Badge]].

LagomorphShipping

2008-11-29T21:10:31Z

Uppfinnarn: Added "Throwing The Track Switch" clues

{{ship}}
[[Image:PikachuBuneary.jpg|thumb|Buneary and Pikachu]]
'''LagomorphShipping''' is the belief in a romantic relationship between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Buneary]]. This is canon on the side of Buneary, whose crush on Pikachu is a running feature in the series; Pikachu has yet to reciprocate.

==Hints==
===Buneary===
* In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', Buneary had developed a crush after seeing Pikachu save a potato.
* She'll raise her fur and cover her face whenever she sees Pikachu.
* She once grabbed Pikachu and started dancing with it causing Pikachu to yell and Buneary to cry.
* When {{an|Dawn}} asked Buneary if she wants to come along with them [[Brock]] says "You can spend time with Pikachu" then {{Ash}} says "looks like she'll like that".
* In the episode ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' after Pikachu, [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]], and {{AP|Turtwig}} finished practicing, Buneary hopped over and started petting Pikachu.
* In the episode ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]'' after Pikachu beat [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}}, Buneary looked over at it with affection.
* In ''[[DP027|Settling A Not-So-Old Score]]'', the pair are seen together cheering for Dawn at the contest in Floaroma Town.
* In the episode ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Pikachu's impersonations of Ash, Brock and Dawn's Pokémon (Buneary included), resulted in a look of utter adulation from Buneary.
* In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', when Pikachu grabbed the ring that Piplup missed in a game of ring toss, it was able to rebound the ring on to the 100 points, after which Buneary happily showered it with adoration or as mentioned above, "goes gaga for it".
* In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Ash and Dawn have a [[double battle]] in {{pkmn|contest}} style, with Pikachu and Aipom versus {{AP|Buizel}} and Buneary. However, Buneary's first instinct is to flirt with Pikachu, striking a pose and winking at it, until Dawn stated "This is an appeal battle, not a date"
* In [[DP046|''A Maze-ing Race'']], Buneary was walking away from {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to try to go through the maze by herself. Pikachu ran up to her and grabbed her hand to try to get her to stop. This made Buneary really happy.
* In the beginning of ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Buneary was massaging Pikachu's stomach after it and Ash became bloated from over-eating.
* In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle]]'', after the battle with [[Team Rocket]], Buneary went up to Pikachu and started flirting with it. The flirting was so obvious that {{an|May}} even pointed out that Buneary seems to like Pikachu.
*In ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'', when all the group's Pokémon are asleep, Buneary is seen with her arm around Pikachu.
*In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Pikachu's positive response to Buneary's new vest causes her to blush.
*In [[DP086]], when Dawn and Buneary won the [[Hearthome Collection]], Buneary hugged Pikachu.
* Almost every time Buneary sees Pikachu, she has hearts in her eyes.
* In Throwing The Track Switch, Buneary was massaging Pikachu's belly after it had eaten too much

===Pikachu===
* When it yelled at Buneary for grabbing and dancing with it she started to cry. It then attempted to comfort her.
* It gave itself up to [[Team Rocket]] after failing to save Buneary. It then helped her to escape after.
* In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', the pair are seen together cheering for Dawn at the contest in Floaroma Town.
* In the aforementioned ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle]]'', when Buneary came up to Pikachu to flirt with it, Pikachu began to blush. However this can be taken as a sign of embarrassment, because Pikachu looked uneasy and sheepish afterwards.
* In Throwing the Track Switch, when Buneary was massaging him, he seemed pleased

==Trivia==
*The name of this ship originates from {{wp|Lagomorpha}}, the order that rabbits and pikas, Buneary and Pikachu's real-world counterparts, belong to.
*In the games, {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Pikachu}} are both in the {{egg|Ground}} [[egg group]], and therefore can [[breed]].
*Under the rules of [[egg moves]], the offspring of such a pairing would be {{p|Buneary}} that know {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, as these are moves {{p|Pikachu}} knows that {{p|Buneary}} can learn via [[TM]]. They would also know the moves {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Agility}} if [[Dawn's Buneary]] knew them, though she has not yet demonstrated this knowledge.
*Some supporters of this shipping use it as a evidence of {{s|PearlShipping}} ({{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}), in a similar fashion to how people use {{s|VineShipping}} as evidence of {{s|AdvanceShipping}}; Professor Oak once stated that the feelings of a trainer are reflected by their Pokémon. As such, if two Pokémon fall in love the trainers will too. However, if Dawn has a crush on Ash, she is to date being a lot more subtle about it than Buneary is about her feelings for Pikachu. Some will also point out that Buneary had a crush on Pikachu before Dawn caught her.

'''Floaroma Town''' (Japanese: '''ソノオタウン''' ''Sonō Town'') is a town in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]], known for its honey and vividly scented flowers that grow everywhere. It is the first area where [[Berries]] from non-player characters are available in [[Generation IV]]. Notable landmarks include the Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop in the middle of town, the Floaroma Meadow found to the north, and an [[anime]]-exclusive [[Contest Hall]]. A girl with a {{p|Clefairy}} hands out {{TM|88|Pluck}} here.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Floaroma Town has a wooden arch at its southern entrance, among other things.

==History and tradition==
According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers", according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

==Places of interest==
===Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop===
[[Image:FloaromaFlower shop.PNG|thumb|left|Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]]
The '''Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop''' is one of the chief landmarks of Floaroma Town. Notably, it is in this florist where the player in-game can get his or her first [[berry|berries]], which are found planted on the outside and given out daily by a woman inside.

Another woman in the Flower Shop gives out the [[Sprayduck]] watering can (the equivalent of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Wailmer Pail]]) to the player, allowing him or her to water berry plants, which makes them grow a greater amount of berries. The blonde woman behind the counter in the Flower Shop gives out [[accessory|accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in exchange for a certain amount of berries.

===Floaroma Meadow===
''Main article: [[Floaroma Meadow]]''

The '''Floaroma Meadow''' (Japanese: '''ソノオのはなばたけ''' ''Sonō Flowerbed'') is an area found north of Floaroma Town proper, but still part of the town according to the [[Town Map]]. On the southernmost end, accessed through Floaroma Town, a single honey tree can be found beside a house. Also, a man can be found selling honey for {{PDollar}}100. The northern end can only be accessed once the player acquires and is able to use {{HM|03|Surf}}, after defeating [[Fantina]] in [[Hearthome City]]. It is accessed by going south of the [[Fuego Ironworks]] area.

At first sight, it might appear as a simple plain filled with flowers and two items: a [[Miracle Seed]] and a [[Leaf Stone]]. However, if inspected closely with the [[Pokétch]]'s Dowsing Machine, several hidden items can be found: two [[Revive]], two jars of [[Honey]], a regular, Super, Hyper, and Max [[Potion]], a [[Status ailment healing item#Full Heal|Full Heal]], an [[Antidote]], and a [[Parlyz Heal]].

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] and {{game|Platinum}}, this meadow was originally blocked by two [[Team Galactic]] grunts. They are later found trying to steal all the honey from the aforementioned honey salesman, but the player engages in a battle with them and defeats them. Only after this is done can Honey be bought from the man. The key to Valley Windworks is given to the player soon after.

===Contest Hall===
Found only in the [[anime]], the '''Floaroma Contest Hall''' was featured in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'' and ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''. In it, {{an|Dawn}} participated in a contest with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. [[Jessie]] participated in the contest but was defeated in the first battle round by Dawn. {{si|Kenny}}, a childhood friend and rival of Dawn, also debuted and participated in the contest with his {{p|Prinplup}}. Dawn finally won her first [[Ribbon]] in this contest, by narrowly defeating Kenny in the final battle round.

==Demographics==
The population of the town in-game is 20, a rather high number for such a small town. Apparently this is caused by the alluring aroma of the typical flowers and honey of the town.

==Items==
* [[Glacidea Flower]] {{tt|(''Platinum only'')|Requires Shaymin in the party}}

==Trivia==
* Floaroma's Japanese town motto is {{tt|あざやかにはなかおるまち|Town that smells vividly of flowers}}.
* In the 2009 Pokémon annual, Floaroma Town is incorrectly spelled "Floarama".
* In [[DP025|Oh, Do You Know The Poffin Plan?]], a Woman told a story about a Woman who made all of the Flowers, proably beacuse they would elseways need to show Shaymin, which was not Released at that time, when the NPC's in-game says it was [[Shaymin (Pokémon)|a pokemon]]
