== Creating pages and templates ==

Hi Venomoth. When you next create a page or a template, be sure to categorise it so that it can be found later and doesn't end up [[Special:UncategorizedPages|here]]. With that said, your recent contribution Template:Pkm was not required. The word Pokémon isn't terribly hard to write using alt-codes (e.g. Alt+130) or the character palette below the screen. It encourages laziness and has been deleted now. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
:Laziness? That's the point of templates: To provide a shortcut. I don't think it should be deleted, although I did create it before I noticed the "Poké" in the Character palette of editing pages. Thanks for the nomination! ...I think. =$ --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯ№ӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 06:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi! {{u|evkl}} here. If you're unhappy with all the pedia staff and me based on the outcome of that thread, that's okay. But I don't appreciate you saying I closed off discussion because I expected to lose the debate. You could continue to post the same sorts of arguments you were posting and I could continue to engage and rebut them in a way I thought reasonable. But that's tedious. I also don't think it would end. And frankly, I don't think you were interested in a reasoned discussion on the issue designed to reach a logical conclusion. I think you wanted (and still want) your way. Which, again, you're entitled to desire and think. But please don't accuse me of impropriety--in this case, that would be closing a thread to stifle debate. Or, if you really think I am just trying to silence dissenters, I'd appreciate if you came to me and talked about it instead of mentioning it in passing on a talk page behind my back.

Hi Venomoth. When you next create a page or a template, be sure to categorise it so that it can be found later and doesn't end up [[Special:UncategorizedPages|here]]. With that said, your recent contribution Template:Pkm was not required. The word Pokémon isn't terribly hard to write using alt-codes (e.g. Alt+130) or the character palette below the screen.

== Just to kill any doubts about Rotom Forms ==

[http://blog-imgs-27.fc2.com/r/a/i/raim2005/Pt_rotom03.jpg Look here!] (courtesy of Blue SkY) Photos taken from the game itself. See it now? It's ロトム (Rotom), not フォルム (Forme)! Which means that Rotom forms are supposed to be named '''Wash Rotom''', '''Spin Rotom''', '''Cut Rotom''' etc., they are not called "Formes" anywhere. So, it's officialy EoT. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

== "フォルム" or "フォーム" ==

Both translate to "form" through a Google translate, but apparently the first is used intentionally and translated as "Forme", while the second translates as "form".

What I need to know... The English games have a specific text. The fifth button on a Pokémon's entry says "Forms", while on the top screen, when it's pressed, it says "FORMS" and on the form-switcher button, says "See another form." Now, in the Japanese, all these instances of "form", does it say "フォーム", the standard transliteration, or does it use "フォルム" for them all? Because if it's the nonstandard one... that means that really, truly, it's intended to be "Forme" for everything.

But if not then we have the ambiguity problem. Deoxys says "see another form", but it cycles among the Attack, Defense, Speed, and Normal Formes. And ''that'' is proven by Pokémon.com. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Templates ==

I noticed that all of these Pokémon with alternate Formes/forms all have their own special template (either a bigger spritebox to accomodate them all or, in the case of Arceus and Unown, one based on the second you enter the page) except for Castform. Over the past few days, I've made such templates but I'm having trouble getting them to appear. If anyone thinks we should implement these and that they can help, post on my talk page.--[[User:MisterE13|MisterE13]] 01:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

== Before Unown ==

I'm wondering why nobody's thought about the most obvious very first 'form change' and that is the Male and Female versions of Nidoran, and the altered evolution paths they take. Does anyone think this is worth mentioning in the article? [[User:Korikitsune|Korikitsune]] 03:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:No, because they are [[list of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], not different forms. They are two individual Pokémon, unlike the forms of Unown and friends. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:22, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::They are 2 pokemon with the same name, the only difference being the gender, I think that counts, I'm not sure why it doesn't count, seeing as how they have the same name in all technicality, and in the show, people wouldn't say, 'Go Nidoran Male!' just, 'Go, Nidoran!' It's a male and female version of the pokemon, who's evolutionary pattern depends on it's gender. The minor gender difference in other pokemon is mentioned later in the article. [[User:Korikitsune|Korikitsune]] 04:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:::With your reasoning, {{p|Hippowdon}} and {{p|Bidoof}} would be here also. Gender differences are different from form differences. Furthermore, the Nidorans have different 'dex numbers.

== Missingno. ==

I was looking back in the history of this page, and I saw that there had been an edit war over Missingno.'s absence from this page. And a quote from one of the edit summaries, "stop, it isn't an actual pokemon", really enraged me. I believe that the guy who tried to add Missingno. had the right idea, because, after all, it does have different forms.

I have made this argument in the past, and I shall make it again, for what I hope to be the final time. A Pokémon, in terms of in the games, is a specific piece of data that can learn and use attacks, can battle other Pokémon, can be captured, has a Pokédex entry, has a cry, has a type or types, and has stats. Granted, three of Missingno.'s forms gain their types, stats, and moves from other Pokémon, but they qualify. Sure, Ash captured a rice ball with a Poké Ball, and I'm not claiming that rice balls are Pokémon. This is because although rice balls can apparently be captured in Poké Balls, they fail at every other requirement. No attacks, no cry, can't battle, no dex entry, no cry, no types, no moves, no stats. Glitch Pokémon, on the other hand, fulfill all those requirements. Maybe you will argue that Glitch Pokémon would've appeared in the anime if they were real. Well, then, by that logic, why don't we just say that {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} aren't real Pokémon? After all, they've never appeared in the anime, and many people believe that they never will, so why not! No. Just no. And many people will claim that Missingno. is not a real Pokémon due to the accidental nature with which it came to be. What a load of bull{{tt|****|shit}}! Pennicillin came about by accident, do we deny its medicinal value? No, we do not! And likewise, we do not deny that Glitch Pokémon are Pokémon, too! If Glitch Pokémon aren't considered to be real Pokémon, then by that logic, I defeated the Elite 4 in Blue without any Pokémon, and I have a PC box that is full, yet has no Pokémon in it! Fail logic is epic, epic fail.

I do not say this to start any arguments; I say this to stop them. I wish for this longtime and meaningless controversy to be put to rest once and for freaking all. I will not prematurely attempt to add Missingno. back on the page, for fear of yet another unproductive edit war starting up. Rather, I will wait patiently for someone in authority to allow me to proceed with this. I am confident, given my thorough argument, that it will not take long at all.

The majority of Bulbapedia editors are highly intelligent, prominently including its illustrious staff. I urge you all, therefore, to not let Bulbapedia's credibility and neutrality, as well as your own usually clear and cloudless judgement, fall victim to the naysayers, the stubborn imbeciles, the biased, discriminating anti-glitch bigots that have so plagued Bulbapedia and impeded the noble progress of the Order of the Glitch. Allow Missingno. and its various formes to be added to the page, to be truly counted among other Pokémon, and it will be considered a great achievement. A blow will be stricken for truth and logic! Glitch Pokémon are every bit as good as "official" Pokémon, if not even better, and it's time the good people of Bulbapedia realized this! - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 12:49, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
:While several of your arguments are flawed (I can say which ones, but it doesn't matter), I will agree that MissingNo. deserves a mention on this page. In a different way to the other standard Pokémon (perhaps in the trivia section or under other Pokémon), but definitely a mention of some kind. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
::There are 39 glitch Pokémon (which have unique index numbers) on the English R/B alone which use the name 'Missingno.' If those are to stay I'd reccommend a seperate article. But also, what makes Missingno. different to all the other glitch Pokémon, just because it is well known doesn't mean we should keep Pikachu's page and delete Dunsparce's page (just a matter of speech)? We would need the several thousand variations of ?????????? and the handful amount of ? mark glitches. Don't forget that there are other R/B/Y glitch Pokémon except Missingno. which have the same name too! As well, as the 39 English 'yellow missingno.' and so on.

That would be awkward, I'd say we should simply have it on trivia and leave the different variations of such glitch Pokémon on their own articles. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 18:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
:Well... it's not really an official Pokemon. No matter how much you will plug your ears and scream IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! because it has Pokemon-like data... well, you gotta fill that in or else the game would go ballistic. Is the name "Missingno." in the copyright database? I can't check that for myself (don't know how), but I have my doubts about it being copyrighted by Nintendo. It's just filler data that people happen to get attached to, because you can encounter it during 'normal gameplay' (ish...), has more of a name than the other glitches, can have a more 'real' sprite, and doesn't have much effect on your game other than the Hall of Fame.

:Does that make it a Pokemon? No. No, it doesn't. Has it appeared in any other game except Generation I? No. Was it intended to be encountered? No. It may have types/moves/stats, but that was probably to avoid a total crash if someone happened to come across it.

:As for Missingno being on the page... well. I don't think it's a "true" form per se, but it at least deserves a trivia mention or something. Because it's not official and two of its "forms" are just glitchy boxes, I don't think it needs an entire section... trivia should be suitable. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 18:39, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

== Rotom changing forms ==

The article explains that Rotom changes form by possessing household appliances. However, it does not say how. (Giratina's section explains how, for example.) By showing the in-game sprites for each form, wouldn't that indicate those forms are available in the games? So what needs to happen in order to trigger this change? Do you examine one of the appliances with Rotom leading the party? [[User:FrozenStrategy|FrozenStrategy]] 12:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:It should mention it. Examine an appliance in Rotom's room (Galactic or Silph) with a Rotom in your party (anywhere), then a message pops up saying that Rotom wants to go into the motor and you are asked whether or not to permit it. Then to revert it, examine the spot where the appliance was and Rotom will want to revert to it's original form and you are asked to permit it. This is all from Platinum, so HGSS might be slightly different. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:26, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

== Think I figured out the form/forme issue. ==

Form - Generically used

Forme - Used when referring to a specific form.

::"Forme" is for legendary Pokémon, "form" is for non-legendary Pokémon. This has been known for a while. Example: {{p|Cherrim|Overcast Form}}, {{p|Deoxys|Attack Forme}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:36, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Shadow Lugia ==

Shadow Lugia needs to be in the "Pokémon with differing forms" section rather than the "Other form differencees" section, although it is only in one game, the same also applies to Spiky-ear Pichu, who is only in HeartGold/SoulSilver but is in the section. Could Dark/Primal Dialga could also be added too?[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== Rotation By Time. ==

This has been discussed multiple times before, but it is quite frustrating to wait a certain amount of time to see the art or stats of a certain form of Pokémon. There are several different ways we can do other than the "rotation over time" method, that would be more efficient for the users so that they could see all the forms of a Pokémon or their stats at any time. Whether we split up articles into multiple articles, or come up with some way to change a picture or the stats at the press of a button, I don't know, but I just want to know why we are still using this method other than that it is a policy. Can an admin please explain to me why we use this method, rather than an other method? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 20:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

::Like Jello said, the ones without borders are just to show the differences in sprite while the ones with borders are templates to display things like base stats. The Spinda sprites are there because we're not even going to start uploading the insane multitude of Spinda sprites onto the Archives so the best demonstration we can do of Spinda sprites is between Generation (but perhaps that's useless and should be removed...).

Stat

2011-02-12T21:55:14Z

Venomoth: /* Stat modifiers */ -

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}. For HP in the Trading Card Game see [[Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|Glossary of terms]].''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
===={{anchor|HP|Hit Points}}====
[[File:Pt hp bar.png|frame|HP bar in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. It is comparable to body mass rather than the toughness or willpower of the Pokémon. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game with a whopping 255 Base HP. The average HP Stat is 68 of all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80. If a Pokémon has more than half their HP, the color remains green, and if the Pokémon is between half or more than 1/4 their HP, the Pokémon HP will turn yellow (In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, if a player uses a revive the color would be green when revived to half of the player's Pokémon). If a Pokémon has less than 1/4 of their HP remaining, the color will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]] and will continue playing until the Pokémon is switched out, treated to a [[Potion|healing item]], or faints.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon, with 180. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with 165. The average Attack Stat is 75 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 90.

====Defense====
[[File:StatsDP.png|frame|Summary Screen from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} showing {{p|Piplup}}'s stats]]
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{p|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense stat among all the Pokémon in the game with 230. The average Defense Stat is 70 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[Individual values|IV]]s and [[Effort values|EV]]s in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} had the highest Special stat among all the Pokémon in the generation in which the stat existed.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is in Attack Forme, currently holds the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Shandera}} currently has the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon, at 145. Mewtwo currently has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon with 154. The average Special Attack Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the highest Special Defense stat among all the Pokémon with 230. The average Special Defense Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. The average Speed Stat is 66 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 78.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines the percent chance that an opponent's move will miss. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If the stat is decreased below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then the opposing Pokémon has a better chance of connecting its move. If the stat is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, the opposing Pokémon will have a harder time connecting its moves. It was called '''"evade"''' in [[Generation I]].

====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines the percent chance an attacker's move will hit. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with Accuracy-raising moves, in {{Pokémon XD}} the player can also raise a Pokémon's Accuracy by using the call action.

====Formula for accuracy and evasion====
The probability that a move will hit is calculated as follows:

[[File:Accuracy_calc.png]]

Where:
*''Abase'' is the base accuracy of the move (in percent - e.g. a base accuracy of 95 is counted as 0.95),
*''Accuracy'' is the current Accuracy stat of the user (in percent - e.g. raising accuracy by three stages raises this number to 2), and
*''Evasion'' is the current Evasion stat of the target (in percent - e.g. lowering evasion by two stages lowers this number to 0.6).

If P is greater than 1, the move will surely hit. In a 2-on-2 battle, it is possible for a move that hits two or three targets to miss some of the targets and hit others - the probabilities are calculated individually for each move.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Formula===
:''See also: [[Damage#Damage formula|Damage calculation]]''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 81 Pikachu with the following IV's and EV's:
{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{electric color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{electric color}}"

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen2_2.png]]

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen2_1.png]]

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generations III and IV====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal. It is also rounded down before the nature mutiplier, if any, is applied.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, which is always 1, the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IV's and EV's and an '''Adamant''' nature:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}} width:60px;" |

! style="background:#{{Special Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Def
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}} width:60px;" | Total
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"

! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|EV
|74
|195
|86
|23
|48
|84
|'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4_2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[item]]s will also do this.

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and Evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner<ref>According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=341891&postcount=7 this post] on the Smogon University forums, the formula simply uses a base numerator and denominator of 3 instead of 2 (that is, the modifiers are instead x1.33, x1.66, x2.0, etc. on the plus side and x0.75, x0.60, x0.5, etc. on the minus side).</ref>. However, in the [[Generation I]] handheld games, the accuracy and evasion modifiers are the same as the normal stat modifiers<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/命中 Pokémon Wiki page on Hit calculation (JP)] The first section pertains to Generation I.</ref>; this was changed in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and all international versions.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In [[Generation IV]], during a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below, except the [[vitamin]]s and the EV [[Berries]], will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in.

== Help with contributions ==
Hi SnorlaxMonster, do you have any good ideas for me to improve those articles I done for the CID, meaning [[Team Charm]] and the [[Pokémon Musical]]. I know it's over, but I'd still like to improve them. And, while we're on that matter, am I allowed to make a page on Digimon? I want to show it's rivalry with Pokémon and bring our fans up to date with our competition. It would've been a good entry for the comp, but then, it's over - and anyway, I'm supposed to have improved articles for it, not made another one. Oh well...- [[User:Twisted Ivy|Twisted Ivy]] 06:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:Team Charm I've removed stub and defined why it was incomplete (it was missing a few levels). Pokémon Musical seems very short to me, and has very few images. I don't think Digimon is a good idea, but you can create a page in your userspace and see how it goes. If the page is deemed notable, it can be made, but I personally don't think that it is necessary. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:25, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

== Why ==

do you keep picking TCG illustrators. When I was TCG leader, my rule of thumb was that you do it well, or you don't do it at all, and having them on the main page allows people to make them poorly. So, let me reiterate, why the TCG illustrators? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
:I figured that TCG illustrators weren't all templates like the individual cards or sets (which I had been purposely avoiding), so they could be made easily. There were several other things that I was trying to avoid, and most of the other things with many links were either Sega games (which there was already one of on there), TCG/Battrio sets (which I didn't think should be there), and manga issues (which there was already one of on there). I will not put any TCG illustrators on in future, and I'll replace the current illustrator with [[Gengar's Shadow]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:24, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

==Demographics for Castelia City==

A few days ago, I created a demographics section for Castelia City. Then just today, I checked it, and it was gone and I noticed you happened to delete it. Is there a reason why we don't need it..? {{unsigned|Han Ji-Wan}}
:The only thing that I deleted was "as of Generation V", which is something that has been popping up everywhere, but really isn't necessary.

:I was going to get around to telling you, but then I just never did. You should use {{bp|link templates}} (I think the only one you need to use for what you are doing is {{template|game}}). Basically, when you link the main series game titles, you put <nowiki>{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}</nowiki> and it will output {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (same display, but correct link). Also, it is better not to refer to them as "the HeartGold and SoulSilver games", rather, just "HeartGold and SoulSilver" or "Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver".

==Names/In other languages==
Personally, I think that it's way more practical, good-looking, professional and neat to merge all the names in one table, changing the heading from ''In other languages'' to ''Names''. Not to mention that it also is the standard for characters and locations (see [[Falkner]] or [[Rustboro City]]) and I don't really understand why "This section should '''not''' contain English and Japanese names". But, hey, if you really want it that way... --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 05:43, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
:Project Pokédex has it that way. If you want to change it, you should probably bring it up over there first. I guess with the new table, it could be possible, but the section title should match the convention (I know it wasn't you that was changing that to "in other languages"). The main reason it is separate is because the "name origin" is a subsection of origin. The origin of its name is quite important. Putting it in that table, which is really meant to be a list of names in other languages, is just overloading the whole thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:54, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
::I understand. About the overloading of a possible unified nomenclature table, I don't think that it would be a problem. Here are two example of "long" etymologies: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Altaria_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1316546#Names & http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Claydol_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1316529#Names They don't seem particularly messy to me. And a limited space would also (in a perfect world) prevent bizzarre origins that sometimes pop up. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 06:25, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
:::If the table became the "name origin" section, it could work out quite nicely. However, this is not something I can decide to implement, nor can you (which was my main problem with you just adding it). This discussion should be taken to Project Pokédex (which I see you have now done) to see just how it should be handled. And "in other languages" does not mix with Japanese/English, which seems to be what someone is changing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

:Comparing [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Ra%27s_mothership this] to [[:File:Battle Pyramid anime.png|this]], they seem to be similar because they are Pyramid ships that are made of metal.

::::How on Earth did whoever drew that picture get it so perfect when the sprite is so tiny? They must have got something wrong surely? [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 19:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yes, the artist, Seyanni, did get several details wrong from what we now know about the features of Arceus. First of all, the face has two lines running across it, not just one. There are grey triangles on the inside of each of its legs, and the red parts of its eyes have black slits, like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. In addition, the wheel is more pointed and the green circles he/she drew are actually gems. So, really, like I've said before, this fanart is far from accurate, but now there's really no need to replace it (though I've given the site several months to use my own artwork (http://xous54.deviantart.com/art/Arceus-Final-106548360), which is, of course, more accurate) when Arceus is set to be revealed on the 15th (with a leak anywhere from the 12th to the 14th). (Of course, the Pokémon set to be revealed could also be something else.) [[User:Xous|Xous]] 18:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

== ???-type Explanation Doesn't Make Sense ==

One of our members brought up a good point about the explanation (in this article) about why Nintendo put the ??? Arceus in the game. We think that it was put in because Nintendo's code for Multitype required a sprite to be filled for every single type. This is our best guess, and I certainly think it's more plausible than "preventing game crashes for hackers." Hackers can crash the game quite easily otherwise - why would they prevent it in one way when we can do it in a thousand other ways? Remember, Nintendo doesn't care for or even acknowledge hackers. -[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 00:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:Following that logic, why put a vestigial Safari Zone in GSC? Why make it harder to access MissingNo in Yellow and impossible in FrLg? Like it or not, Nintendo has put many things in for the purpose of preventing crashes. [[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
::The Safari Zone in G/S/C was there because it was originally supposed to be in there, but they decided later not to include it. And Missingno. was excluded from later games because it was a glitch that was accessible without cheats. They took it out for the same reason that they hire game testers: they want their games to be as glitch-free as possible. And it did cause crashes, but it could be accessed without cheats, unlike the ???-type Arceus. I agree with Coolbho.--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 13:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I saw this likely vandalism in the tivia section:

At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is Magikarp which can be caught at level 100 in Pokémon Platinum. It is, however, still the highest level legendary Pokémon available for capture.

I am hoping this is a joke or vandalism.

== Arceus catch Trivia ==
As a point in the trivia I think it should be mentioned that Arceus is the only trio master (as of yet and i suspect always will be) not catchable by typical in-game mechanics instead needing to obtain an item solely distributed by a Nintendo event. All others are obtainable in their original generations via typical methods (i.e. just a simple in-game event or simply trading from a complimentary version) rather than and individual physically having to go to a Nintendo event to receive an item that cannot be obtained in games. I'm sorry if this point seems to sound redundant but I'm not sure if everyone will understand what I mean. -- [[User:D558|D558]] 06:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

About the name origin. For me, the most simple theory is not so clearly mentioned in the current name origin section. My theory is: Arceus is just a transcription of "archeos" from latin (meaning archaich). This was confirmed with the newest trailers that pronounce "Arceus" exactly like "archeos" is pronounced. It is the most direct and simple someone can think of, it's more or less the same process used for other Pokémon name such as Luvdisc, since "luv" has the same pronountiation as "love".

:But would that not mean that Arceus would have to be two, and not one?

There are izanami(izanagi) and a lacking part because neither Dialga nor Palkia make "Legend pokeomn".

== Colour Changing Articles ==

I know but it seems kind of pointless, when I fist read the article I thought you'd made a mistake calling it a Dragon-type and when I scrolled down I thought you'd lost your marbles when you were indicating pokeathlon stats for its Bug forme specifically. The Pokedex on the games treats it as a Normal-type. We don't have different coloured articles for Kecleon or Castform and they don't need to be holding special items to change forme. I think leaving it as Normal-type is most convenient and less confusing, also we have articles displaying what TMs and HMs it can learn as different types so why bother with all this. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 14:27, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
:Its probably because Arceus has different Performance stats for its forms, its attack has different type for plate held, and because its sprite changes too.

== Type Change ==

I've ranted on this subject time and time again but isn't it misleading for someone to come across this article and for it to say that Arceus is a Ghost or Ice type (or whatever type that shows up) when Arceus is Normal-type but changes due to an item. This is no different than making Kecleon's page change types randomly because of Color Change, except for what color Arceus changes to, or listing every Pokémon with the chance of having the ability Mummy since any Pokémon except for Arceus and Shedinja can have the Mummy ability. I believe that Arceus needs to be listed as a Normal type as it naturally is when no items are held, just like how Kecleon is when it hasn't been hit by a foe's move or how a Marill is before being hit by a foe with the ability mummy. Does anyone else agree? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

== Just to kill any doubts about Rotom Forms ==

[http://blog-imgs-27.fc2.com/r/a/i/raim2005/Pt_rotom03.jpg Look here!] (courtesy of Blue SkY) Photos taken from the game itself. See it now? It's ロトム (Rotom), not フォルム (Forme)! Which means that Rotom forms are supposed to be named '''Wash Rotom''', '''Spin Rotom''', '''Cut Rotom''' etc., they are not called "Formes" anywhere. So, it's officialy EoT. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

== "フォルム" or "フォーム" ==

Both translate to "form" through a Google translate, but apparently the first is used intentionally and translated as "Forme", while the second translates as "form".

What I need to know... The English games have a specific text. The fifth button on a Pokémon's entry says "Forms", while on the top screen, when it's pressed, it says "FORMS" and on the form-switcher button, says "See another form." Now, in the Japanese, all these instances of "form", does it say "フォーム", the standard transliteration, or does it use "フォルム" for them all? Because if it's the nonstandard one... that means that really, truly, it's intended to be "Forme" for everything.

But if not then we have the ambiguity problem. Deoxys says "see another form", but it cycles among the Attack, Defense, Speed, and Normal Formes. And ''that'' is proven by Pokémon.com. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Missingno. ==

I was looking back in the history of this page, and I saw that there had been an edit war over Missingno.'s absence from this page. And a quote from one of the edit summaries, "stop, it isn't an actual pokemon", really enraged me. I believe that the guy who tried to add Missingno. had the right idea, because, after all, it does have different forms.

I have made this argument in the past, and I shall make it again, for what I hope to be the final time. A Pokémon, in terms of in the games, is a specific piece of data that can learn and use attacks, can battle other Pokémon, can be captured, has a Pokédex entry, has a cry, has a type or types, and has stats. Granted, three of Missingno.'s forms gain their types, stats, and moves from other Pokémon, but they qualify. Sure, Ash captured a rice ball with a Poké Ball, and I'm not claiming that rice balls are Pokémon. This is because although rice balls can apparently be captured in Poké Balls, they fail at every other requirement. No attacks, no cry, can't battle, no dex entry, no cry, no types, no moves, no stats. Glitch Pokémon, on the other hand, fulfill all those requirements. Maybe you will argue that Glitch Pokémon would've appeared in the anime if they were real. Well, then, by that logic, why don't we just say that {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}} aren't real Pokémon? After all, they've never appeared in the anime, and many people believe that they never will, so why not! No. Just no. And many people will claim that Missingno. is not a real Pokémon due to the accidental nature with which it came to be. What a load of bull{{tt|****|shit}}! Pennicillin came about by accident, do we deny its medicinal value? No, we do not! And likewise, we do not deny that Glitch Pokémon are Pokémon, too! If Glitch Pokémon aren't considered to be real Pokémon, then by that logic, I defeated the Elite 4 in Blue without any Pokémon, and I have a PC box that is full, yet has no Pokémon in it! Fail logic is epic, epic fail.

I do not say this to start any arguments; I say this to stop them. I wish for this longtime and meaningless controversy to be put to rest once and for freaking all. I will not prematurely attempt to add Missingno. back on the page, for fear of yet another unproductive edit war starting up. Rather, I will wait patiently for someone in authority to allow me to proceed with this. I am confident, given my thorough argument, that it will not take long at all.

The majority of Bulbapedia editors are highly intelligent, prominently including its illustrious staff. I urge you all, therefore, to not let Bulbapedia's credibility and neutrality, as well as your own usually clear and cloudless judgement, fall victim to the naysayers, the stubborn imbeciles, the biased, discriminating anti-glitch bigots that have so plagued Bulbapedia and impeded the noble progress of the Order of the Glitch. Allow Missingno. and its various formes to be added to the page, to be truly counted among other Pokémon, and it will be considered a great achievement. A blow will be stricken for truth and logic! Glitch Pokémon are every bit as good as "official" Pokémon, if not even better, and it's time the good people of Bulbapedia realized this! - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

:While several of your arguments are flawed (I can say which ones, but it doesn't matter), I will agree that MissingNo. deserves a mention on this page.

::There are 39 glitch Pokémon (which have unique index numbers) on the English R/B alone which use the name 'Missingno.' If those are to stay I'd reccommend a seperate article. But also, what makes Missingno. different to all the other glitch Pokémon, just because it is well known doesn't mean we should keep Pikachu's page and delete Dunsparce's page (just a matter of speech)? We would need the several thousand variations of ?????????? and the handful amount of ? mark glitches. Don't forget that there are other R/B/Y glitch Pokémon except Missingno. which have the same name too! As well, as the 39 English 'yellow missingno.' and so on.

That would be awkward, I'd say we should simply have it on trivia and leave the different variations of such glitch Pokémon on their own articles. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 18:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
:Well... it's not really an official Pokemon. No matter how much you will plug your ears and scream IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! because it has Pokemon-like data... well, you gotta fill that in or else the game would go ballistic. Is the name "Missingno." in the copyright database? I can't check that for myself (don't know how), but I have my doubts about it being copyrighted by Nintendo. It's just filler data that people happen to get attached to, because you can encounter it during 'normal gameplay' (ish...), has more of a name than the other glitches, can have a more 'real' sprite, and doesn't have much effect on your game other than the Hall of Fame.

:Does that make it a Pokemon? No. No, it doesn't. Has it appeared in any other game except Generation I? No. Was it intended to be encountered? No. It may have types/moves/stats, but that was probably to avoid a total crash if someone happened to come across it.

:As for Missingno being on the page... well. I don't think it's a "true" form per se, but it at least deserves a trivia mention or something. Because it's not official and two of its "forms" are just glitchy boxes, I don't think it needs an entire section... trivia should be suitable. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 18:39, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

== Rotom changing forms ==

The article explains that Rotom changes form by possessing household appliances. However, it does not say how. (Giratina's section explains how, for example.) By showing the in-game sprites for each form, wouldn't that indicate those forms are available in the games? So what needs to happen in order to trigger this change? Do you examine one of the appliances with Rotom leading the party? [[User:FrozenStrategy|FrozenStrategy]] 12:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:It should mention it. Examine an appliance in Rotom's room (Galactic or Silph) with a Rotom in your party (anywhere), then a message pops up saying that Rotom wants to go into the motor and you are asked whether or not to permit it. Then to revert it, examine the spot where the appliance was and Rotom will want to revert to it's original form and you are asked to permit it.

I had added Arceus to the type pages where Arceus can be that type along with the asterisk and the plate necessary to make it that type ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Flying_%28type%29&oldid=1344684#Pure_Flying-type_Pok.C3.A9mon example]), but {{U|CoolPikachu!}} disagrees (see [[User_talk:CoolPikachu!#Types|here]]).

Is there anything you are planning to do to that page before it gets mainspaced?

== Regarding Generation V Experience Yields... ==

Nearly every single Pokémon had its Experience yield modified in some way in Generation V; any ideas regarding how to get this data into the system without having to hand-modify almost 500 Pokémon pages? The only thing I could think of was a massive switch case; while it would be stupid ugly, it would get the job done much more efficiently. What do you think about the matter? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 05:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:The EV yield remains the same, right? If so the new Exp. yield could potentially replace the Battle Exp. part of the infobox - that number itself is just a formula of the Base, with the box taking up the whole width for Gen IV Pokémon (or it could have a -- like the dex numbers section). Unless the new yields are mathematically related to the old ones through a single formula then there's no way to get around adding it to the pages for all 493 Pokémon that need it unfortunately. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::I do think that the Battle Exp. could be done away with. However, I still don't understand why it would have to be manually added; why couldn't a huge switch case be used in the template to provide the correct Exp. yield based on the National Dex number? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 20:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Huge switches (i.e. those with many outcomes) require a lot of server resources and cause stability issues. That's why templates have parameters, rather than just a pagename switcher. It also means that if, say, someone makes a mistake putting it in, people who notice can just fix it. Since high-use templates get protected (again, mainly to reduce server stress) they wouldn't be able to if it was just a template with a giant switch. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Erm, the switch case would only need to take into account the parameter passed as the National Dex and then display the correct Exp. yield accordingly; that's not server-intensive at all; it doesn't have to access any other data on the server. As for being protected, why would any other user ever need to modify the template? It would be static data, would it not? —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 00:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::People make mistakes in entering the data, and often it won't get noticed for a while. And it's still a very big switch, as it would need 493 possibilities. Switch size for the server load is mainly determined by the number of different outcomes available, not the size of the input itself. Putting it into that template as a permanent switch like that would cause massive load on the server, and could potentially cause them to crash. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::I'm not sure you fully understand how the #switch functionality works on a wiki, but I'm nearly positive it doesn't require a call to the server. All it does is check a value given to it and display responses based on this value. To implement the new Exp. yields, all we would be doing is passing the '''ndex''' value, which it takes from having already been declared in the template, to a switch and displaying the corresponding number. As for people inputting incorrect data, you don't seem to have caught on to the fact that I already have this data; in fact, I've already updated the [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] to reflect the new numbers. I like the idea of having Bulbapedia be consistent and up-to-date with its information, and that's why I'm interested in having the new numbers put up; still, I'd like for it to be done in the most efficient way possible, and that certainly doesn't mean doing it manually. [[http://pastehtml.com/view/1bxak7s.txt Here]] is the switch case as it would need to go up somewhere in the PokémonInfobox template. Please, I implore you, drop it in (perhaps in the Battle Exp. area like you suggested, but maybe even in the actual Exp. field if you're as interested in having Bulbapedia be accurate as I am) and see if it causes any server issues. Assuming it does, I'd be happy to set something up to do it manually; if it doesn't mess anything up, however, it will be quite a joyous occasion to be able to say that Bulbapedia is striving ever closer to completion. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 01:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I don't know the inner workings of the switch function, but what I do know is that we have been specifically told by none other than big boss [[Archaic]] that they have been determined to be problematic, and to avoid them where possible. I don't know if you were around for it, but the wiki was locked down in June as it was resulting in a 503 for about 9 out of every 10 page loads. That was largely because there used to be a switch in the roundy template, which was used everywhere. Once the switch was removed and the template broken into nine pieces as a result the issues pretty much went away. Theoretically, the switch should work fine. The servers unfortunately just aren't stable enough to have them everywhere. For the record, Bulbagarden has five servers, four of which are used for Bulbawiki (Bulbapedia, the Archives and Bulbanews). As a result I cannot and will not add that switch to the template. It will have to be a parameter. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

== BW015 ==

Hey werdnae, ok so for bw015 there was a character chart revealing all the pokemon and humans that would appear in this episode. This chart was revealed by sunnyshore and the source he got itt from is 100% confirmed real since he actually brought the artwork. He has also said that any one who is not on the character sheet will not be in the episode. Now I posted on the talkpage of this episode asking if it is ok for me to add these people and pokemon to the page yesterday. Since then there has beenn no response so I just put them in there but posted again on the talkpage stating why I did so. About an hour later I checked back and someone had reverted the changes but there was still no answers in the talkpage. I was wondering if you could take a look at it. The character chart is on bulbagarden and serebii forums and is in the bw015 thread. Thanks before hand :)[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 02:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

In general, an image can be added to an article by typing <nowiki>[[File:image name.extension|thumb|right|caption|200px]]</nowiki>, except when the image is smaller than 200px wide, in which case that bit should be left out. For infoboxes you can normally change the image parameter to the name of the image on the archives. It won't work if the image is not on the archves.

==Rattata Trivia==
I am a little confused on one line of trivia for Rattata. ''Rattata has gained infamy among the fanbase due to the Youngster Joey on Route 30, and his phone calls claiming it to be within the top percentage of the species.'' This seems like an opionion to me, since I personally hate the beasts and I don't really know anyone who likes them myself, but when I got rid of it, my edit was reverted.

:Personally, I'd say it's as notable as the Mudkipz meme. We do mention the Mudkip meme on Mudkip's page, so . . . I'm not sure. The Top percent is mentioned on [[Joey]]'s page, but it does relate a lot to the Ratatta itself. Maybe reword it so that it's more similar to the trivia on Mudkip's page?

:Firstly, please don't sign your name on mainspace pages. Secondly, an article on the Transfer Machine should say what it does, not just how to unlock it.

==Help?==
Hi Werdnae! I helped edit [[PS025]], so when you have time, can you please check it for me to see if it sounds right? And also, when does an article becomes an actual article, not a stub? Are there requirements or something? I feel really stupid right now because I don't know anything about this! Please give me some tips as well! And when do you get a user page? How do sign a post? O.O I think I did it wrong... [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 17:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
: Also how to you indent for new paragraphs? [[User:Eeveelutions!|Eeveelutions!]] 19:15, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
::PS025 looks good to me. As does PS052, for which you wrote the synopsis. Just remember to use the {{template|m}} template for moves and the preview button and you'll be sorted. There isn't really a specific list of requirements for the stub notice to be removed from an article, but generally for manga rounds/chapters and anime episodes it gets removed once the synopsis has been written. It's always okay to check if you aren't sure though. You've been signing your posts correctly, so I think you've got that sorted.

::I don't know the exact number of edits required for you to create a userpage, but you could give it a go now if you like, you may have enough edits. You've certainly passed the time requirement. If it still doesn't let you, just check occasionally.

::For new paragraphs in articles, standard practice is to leave a blank line (i.e. hit enter twice), which is the wikicode for a new paragraph. Indenting for replies on talk pages is done with a colon like you just did.

::As for tips... If you don't know something or aren't sure of something, just ask like you have been. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's easier for us to tell you how to do it than to correct the same mistake easily. If you see some code that you don't know what it does, try copying the section of code, preview, and then remove a bit and preview again. Whatever breaks is what the bit you just removed does. Other than that, just look at what was done on similar articles and copy the style/format.

== Pokémon XD obtainable Pokémon ==

To be honest, that was a rough solution as to not cover the 2/3 of the page with just the obtainable Pokémon. I personally believe the article looked better with the section moved into a new page, but I guess it looks okay this way too. That said, the list of the obtainable Pokémon would still be reasonable to be moved into a different page for not only convenience, but also the content's nature (too specific to fit into a mostly general information article about the game), albeit the rest of sections are yet to expanded. Either way, do as you please, I just wanted to explain myself! :P [[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 00:43, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, I realise that list is long, and I see where you're coming from. I didn't think that it was so long that it needed to be a completely separate page. To be completely honest, I'm not sure a list like that is needed in the mainspace at all. We don't do it for any other games, and it seems a bit. . . walkthrough/strategy guidey to me.

== Oshawott ==

Since you protected {{Ash}}'s page, can you (or another admin) remove the notice that I wrote about his {{AP|Oshawott}} as no one will be fighting over it.
Also, Ash's page has became very popular with the constant reverts. What is the meaning of this? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:50, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I have 3 questions:
a) How do you catagorize a page? I tried but it didn't work.
b) I don't know what to edit! Can you give me a couple suggestions? I can't do manga, trading cards, or most of the anime.
c) Can anyone welcome a new user?

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erlade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]].

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from male {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}}. He is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gardevoir}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gallade have a white lower body that consists of bold rounded hips with strong legs. The torso is thin and colored in a balance between the green of its upper body, and the white of its lower body. Sharp red hornlike protrusions stick out of the chest and back, similar to {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gallade's arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s, with extendable blades in the elbows. His head resembles a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a light-teal colored head crest. Like his counterpart Gardevoir, Gallade has spikes on the sides of his face. He has a very tiny mouth at the bottom of his head.

====Gender differences====
Gallade is male-only. Some count Gardevoir as his female counterpart, as they both evolve from the same Pokémon, although Gardevoir can be of either gender.

====Special abilities====
Thanks to Gallade's arm blades, which can be withdrawn and extended to two lengths, he can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and the rarely known {{m|Psycho Cut}}. He is one of two non-{{type2|Grass}} Pokémon that can learn Leaf Blade. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Gallade can summon {{m|Earthquake}}s, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Rock Tomb}}). It can also learn punching attacks like those elemental punches. He has one of the greatest varieties of moves. Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} or {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm.

===Habitat===
Gallade hide up in very tall trees, watching for trouble. When the time is right, they leap from their homes to forewarn civilians or fight enemies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gallade.png|thumb|right|210px|Gallade in the anime]]
Gallade made a minor appearance in the 10th movie, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. One led [[Alice]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} to the area that [[Baron Alberto]] believed {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} had first "infected". He reappeared some time later.

A Gallade under [[Zoey]]'s command made his TV episode debut in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' featuring the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] finale.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP177|Gallade|Ash's Pokédex|Gallade, the Blade Pokémon, and the evolved form of {{p|Kirlia}}. Gallade extends its elbows as if they were swords, and when protecting someone, it fights fiercely.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
A Gallade appears as one of the Pokémon owned by [[Castle Valet Darach]].

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Gallade is a member of the legendary Exploration Team, [[List of Mystery Dungeon characters#Team Raider|Team Raider]], alongside {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Gallade is used by [[Sinis Trio#Ice|Ice]] to protect the blue circuit ball. It was in a three-way boss battle with Heath's {{p|Rhyperior}} and Lavana's {{p|Magmortar}} in the trio's efforts to thwart the player.

==Trivia==
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}} and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 160. This makes him and his evolution family one of only four families of Pokémon (comprising eleven Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
* Gallade has the same weight as {{p|Blaziken}}, another dual-typed final form {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose first form only has its primary type.
* Gallade is the only Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Leaf Blade}} naturally that is not of the {{type|Grass}}.
* Gallade can learn five moves with an above average chance of inflicting a critical hit; more than any other Pokémon.
* Gallade has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. He shares this trait with {{p|Zuruzukin}}.
* Gallade shares several similarities with {{p|Kirikizan}}. Both have warrior-esque designs (that prominently feature arm-blades and helmets), both have the same height (5'03"), and both share the species name of "Blade Pokemon".

====Origin====
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|Murmillo|Murmillo-class}} Roman {{wp|Gladiator|gladiators}} or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) that was worn by Greek {{wp|Hoplite|hoplites}}. He may also be based on medieval {{wp|Knight|knights}}. Additionally, his battle stances (depicted in-game and in artwork) resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of {{wp|Fencing|modern fencing}}.

====Name origin====
Gallade may be a portmanteau of 'gallant', and 'blade', and may also be a reference to Roman gladiators and {{wp|Galahad|Sir Galahad}}. Erlade might be a portmanteau of '{{wp|Earl}}' (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the {{wp|Peerage|British nobility}}), or 'elbow', and 'blade', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. Or, in accordance with the musical origin of Ralts and the French Gardevoir, it could be based on 'ballade', French for 'ballad', a type of French poetry.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Galagladi - From ''Galan'' (worshipper) and ''gladiator''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gallame - From ''gallant'' and ''lame'' (blade).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 엘레이드 ''Ellade''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 艾路雷朵 ''Ài Lù Léi Duǒ'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}. For HP in the Trading Card Game see [[Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|Glossary of terms]].''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
===={{anchor|HP|Hit Points}}====
[[File:Pt hp bar.png|frame|HP bar in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. It is comparable to body mass rather than the toughness or willpower of the Pokémon. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game with a whopping 255 Base HP. The average HP Stat is 68 of all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80. If a Pokémon has more than half their HP, the color remains green, and if the Pokémon is between half or more than 1/4 their HP, the Pokémon HP will turn yellow (In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, if a player uses a revive the color would be green when revived to half of the player's Pokémon). If a Pokémon has less than 1/4 of their HP remaining, the color will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]] and will continue playing until the Pokémon is switched out, treated to a [[Potion|healing item]], or faints.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon, with 180. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with 165. The average Attack Stat is 75 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 90.

====Defense====
[[File:StatsDP.png|frame|Summary Screen from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} showing {{p|Piplup}}'s stats]]
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{p|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense stat among all the Pokémon in the game with 230. The average Defense Stat is 70 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[Individual values|IV]]s and [[Effort values|EV]]s in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} had the highest Special stat among all the Pokémon in the generation in which the stat existed.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is in Attack Forme, currently holds the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Shandera}} currently has the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon, at 145. Mewtwo currently has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon with 154. The average Special Attack Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the highest Special Defense stat among all the Pokémon with 230. The average Special Defense Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. The average Speed Stat is 66 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 78.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines the percent chance that an opponent's move will miss. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If the stat is decreased below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then the opposing Pokémon has a better chance of connecting its move. If the stat is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, the opposing Pokémon will have a harder time connecting its moves. It was called '''"evade"''' in [[Generation I]].

====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines the percent chance an attacker's move will hit. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with Accuracy-raising moves, in {{Pokémon XD}} the player can also raise a Pokémon's Accuracy by using the call action.

====Formula for accuracy and evasion====
The probability that a move will hit is calculated as follows:

[[File:Accuracy_calc.png]]

Where:
*''Abase'' is the base accuracy of the move (in percent - e.g. a base accuracy of 95 is counted as 0.95),
*''Accuracy'' is the current Accuracy stat of the user (in percent - e.g. raising accuracy by three stages raises this number to 2), and
*''Evasion'' is the current Evasion stat of the target (in percent - e.g. lowering evasion by two stages lowers this number to 0.6).

If P is greater than 1, the move will surely hit. In a 2-on-2 battle, it is possible for a move that hits two or three targets to miss some of the targets and hit others - the probabilities are calculated individually for each move.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Formula===
:''See also: [[Damage#Damage formula|Damage calculation]]''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 81 Pikachu with the following IV's and EV's:
{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{electric color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{electric color}}"

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen2_2.png]]

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen2_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen2_2.png]]


Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

In the end, this Pikachu's stats are:

|'''101'''
|'''190'''
|'''128'''
|'''112'''
|}

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generations III and IV====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal. It is also rounded down before the nature mutiplier, if any, is applied.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, which is always 1, the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IV's and EV's and an '''Adamant''' nature:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}} width:60px;" |
! style="background:#{{HP color}}; width:60px;" | HP
! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Attack
! style="background:#{{Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Defense
! style="background:#{{Speed color}}; width:60px;" | Speed
! style="background:#{{Special Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Atk
! style="background:#{{Special Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Def
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}} width:60px;" | Total
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"| Base stat
|108
|130
|95
|102
|80
|85
|'''600'''
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|IV
|24
|12
|30
|5
|16
|23
|'''110'''
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|EV
|74
|195
|86
|23
|48
|84
|'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4_2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"

|}
Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[item]]s will also do this.

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and Evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner<ref>According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=341891&postcount=7 this post] on the Smogon University forums, the formula simply uses a base numerator and denominator of 3 instead of 2 (that is, the modifiers are instead x1.33, x1.66, x2.0, etc. on the plus side and x0.75, x0.60, x0.5, etc. on the minus side).</ref>. However, in the [[Generation I]] handheld games, the accuracy and evasion modifiers are the same as the normal stat modifiers<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/命中 Pokémon Wiki page on Hit calculation (JP)] The first section pertains to Generation I.</ref>; this was changed in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and all international versions.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In [[Generation IV]], during a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below, except the [[vitamin]]s and the EV [[Berries]], will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in.

Talk:Mummy (Ability)

2011-02-11T07:33:44Z

Venomoth: /* Multitype */ new section

So what does the ability actually DO, does it just take away the abilities of other Pokémon so they can't use them? Or is there some sort of effect that having the ability "Mummy" causes other than being able to pass the ability further. For example, does it cause {{tt|burn|just an example}} or some other effect? Also, what about {{a|Illusion}}? Is the only thing it does is change the appearance of your Pokémon? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 00:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yes to the first question regarding Mummy. Yes to Illusion. '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 00:19, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Is the change permanent, or does the ability revert back to normal after the battle? --'''[[User:Flyingtypefan|~~☆Flyingtypefan☆~~]]''' '''''•[[User talk:Flyingtypefan|Talk]]•''''' '''''[[Flying (type)|Name origin]]•''''' 20:27, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== Normal and Fighting ==

If a Pokémon with Mummy is targeted by a Normal- or Fighting-type move, does Mummy's effect activate? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 00:40, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, if the Pokémon with mummy isn't {{t|Ghost}}.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 14:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
::To clarify: in the case of the only two mons that have it, no. But only because it is a Ghost type, and Normal/Fighting moves with Contact will not ''actually'' make contact, thus not triggering the ability at all. If a non-Ghost mon could legitimately posess Mummy, then yes, it would behave normally even with Normal/Fighting contact moves, as long as there is no other impedence on its contact. {{unsigned|Wohdin}}
:::You seem to forget that not only can Muummy spread itself, but other Pokémon can also get it via Skill Swap, Trick and Role Play, so there are countless situations where a Pokémon that is not Ghost-type could have it. Also, Foresight, Odor Sleuth and Scrappy would make it possible to hit Ghost-type Pokémon with Normal- and Fighting-type moves. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:25, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

== Double/Triple Battles ==

Does this effect allies in double and triple battles, e.g. Sending out {{p|Cofagrigus}} and {{p|Slaking}} and having Slaking attack Cofagrigus in order to get rid of its {{a|Truant}} ability. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 23:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

== Multitype ==

This ability then renders Arceus's plate-form change void then? —[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 07:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Fire (type)

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

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

===Offensively===

Offensively, Fire is very powerful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more. While Fire is resisted by four types, two types are hindered by {{t|Rock|their own bad special defenses}} and {{t|Dragon| relative scarcity}} therefore keeping their moves rather valuable. While fire types often have below average defensive stats, but high speed, and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon. Fire is super effective against four types; only Ground and Fighting surpasses it. It ties with Ice and Rock, even though double weaknesses to Ice and Rock are slightly more common. However, Fire is the only type that can cause {{p|Paras|quintuple}} {{p|Parasect|damage}}, due to the combination of a double weakness and the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}. Many Fire types can now learn Grass attacks, which can make double resistances to Fire useless. (in this case, Water/Rock types, who are doubly weak to Grass)

===Quantity===

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

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

==Trivia==
* All Fire-type starters second evolution is at level 36.
* In [[Generation III]], all fifteen Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* In the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* As of Generation IV, every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Rapidash|forms}} of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-type Pokémon) are placed in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Red}} color category, as no orange category exists.
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] attribute uses a similar shade of orange that represents the Fire type, despite being described as red in-text. Strangely, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* With 5 resistances, the Fire type has the second most resistances of all types, falling 6 short of the {{type2|Steel}}'s 11 resistances.
* So far, [[Generation III]] is the only generation not to have introduced at least one Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
* Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras|Paras}} family's double weakness to fire paired with their ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}, which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves.
* Generation V has introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 15 introduced, not counting {{p|Darmanitan}}'s second form or {{p|Rotom}}'s Heat Form.
* There are no Fire-type Pokémon in the Blue [[List of Pokémon by color|Color Dex]] group.

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

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

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

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

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

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

}}

==Characteristics==

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

===Offense===

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

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

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

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

__TOC__

== Any way to do this? ==

Since this is a talk page, I'm wondering if it's possible to eliminate the regional Pokédex entries from the template if there's no data for them, instead of having that dash. It'd make it a lot easier to see at a glance which regions the Pokémon's naturally available in, or what generation it is. Might be a bit problematic if we take into account Pokémon in the Hoenn dex beyond 202, though. Feedback? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 02:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly like this change to the numbers section. It does not cope well with the case where a Pokémon is not in the regional Pokédex. Also, it's a blatant copy of what Wikipedia does for their infobox. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 22:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not fond of it either. It's not particularly useful and it doesn't fit the rest of the template very well, I think. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 23:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
::Since we are agreed, then I will change it back. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 05:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
:::All right. Though... I never changed it in the first place, because I know I'd've screwed something up. I was just wondering if it was possible. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

== Habitat? ==

Should the habitat (based on the FRLG dexlist thing) be included in the infobox? It'd of course be N/A for Gen IV and beyond Pokémon, unless that's still in the data like the color is...

The only problem is that we'd have to go though the first 386 to include it. Should we? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 18:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

== The MS sprites. ==

Should they even be in the infobox? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, but not until someone finds a good-looking way to include them. And we should add the animated Emerald sprites for Pokémon from Generations I-III. --[[Image:224MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|Contribs]][[Image:480MS.png]] 21:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Name Pronunciations? ==

Should we add a section on how to pronounce the Pokémon's name to the Infobox? I for one have trouble correctly pronouncing a name correctly if I read it but don't hear or see it pronounced correctly, so I think that it would be a feature that would be a good addition to the Pokémon pages. I know that it might take a lot of work to find and input all of the pronunciations, but I think that it would be worth it.

== Basic Japanese romanization ==

Is it possible to add the Japanese pronunciation of the Pokémon's name? Such as showing that Lucario's name would be pronounced ''Rukario''. I was hoping that maybe this could help stop weeaboos who think Pikachu's Japanese name is ''Pikachuu'' or thinking Blacky's name is ''Burakki''. *shivers* I know we already have a page for this, but I think it might be helpful to have it on the Pokémon's page as well. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Lucario's pretty much pronounced the same, it's just that the "Lu" is pronounced in the same manner that the "ruuuuuu!" of "Ran Ran Ruu!" is pronounced... which is kind of a "say L while you're saying R". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

:I think it'd be better to, possibly soon, implement sound files that play 1: the cry from the games, 2: the anime cry (Japanese and English), and 3: PBR pronunciation ripped from the game, or just ask Ken Gates himself to record the pronunciation...

== Question ==

HG/SS or HeartGold and SoulSilver? FR/LG or FireRed and LeafGreen? R/S or Ruby and Sapphire? We've simplified it in the past, and now we're expanding it? Why? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:29, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

== Weight box overflow and egg cycles error ==

Okay, two things I noticed that are wrong with the template:
* 1: If the Pokémon's weight is too long, the weight box protrudes from the side of the table. The best way to fix this is to change the table width from 30% to 36%. I tested it and 36% is the minimum width required to accommodate a five-digit weight for both pounds and kilograms using all 8's (the widest digit).
* 2: Pokémon in the No Eggs group have a note next to their egg cycle number that says they are not obtainable from an egg. It should say that they cannot PRODUCE eggs, since baby Pokémon belong to the No Eggs group, but they CAN be obtained as an egg.--[[User:A Tell-Tale Heart|A Tell-Tale Heart]] 06:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

:What screen resolution do you use? It's worth noting that, since we use width percentages and not pixel values, users with larger or smaller screens will see more or less space in some of the boxes.
:In this particular case, most width values are designed for about a 768x1024 screen size, since that's roughly the standard size (only very small screens, or very old computers, still use the 600x800 size).
:Assuming it still overflows at a standard sizing, someone can work on a fix for it. If it's overflowing at a smaller size, most likely it'll just need a slight adjustment so that the overflow is still readable (not much point in designing the template around a size that's already cramped). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 16:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

== Base stats? ==

They're quite an important feature of Pokémon, so I don't see why it's not included in this template, in favour of EV yield. I personally don't really want to have to scroll down half the page to view those base stats. (The ranges don't have to appear in the infobox, just the base stats themselves.) [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

== Artwork ==

:Yes. It is because it is Red and Blue's birthday today. This has been asked on like 5 different pages. '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 00:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

== Signature Move? ==

I put in a Signature Move Section, but I'm not sure how to make it work. I'l leave the link here and ask if someone would make the edits needed and put it on the Page for me.

== New Exp. gain formula ==

Now that BW is out and we actually know the formula, the infobox formula should probably be updated accordingly. Specifically, change this section:

<nowiki>{{#iferror: {{#expr: {{{expyield|0}}} - 1}}|Unknown|{{#expr: floor({{{expyield|0}}} * 50 / 7)}}{{tt|*|Based on battling a wild level 50 {{{name|{{{tmname|Missingno.}}}}}}}}}}</nowiki>

: to this:

<nowiki>{{#iferror: {{#expr: {{{expyield|0}}} - 1}}|Unknown|{{#expr: floor({{{expyield|0}}} * 50 / 5) + 1}}{{tt|*|Based on battling a wild level 50 {{{name|{{{tmname|Missingno.}}}}}} with a level 50 Pokémon}}}}</nowiki>

Also, MediaWiki's space wrapping sucks. [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 00:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

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

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

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

===Offense===

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

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

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

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

Flying (type)

2011-02-11T04:07:43Z

Venomoth: Consensus is that Arceus's formes should be included, please discuss before reverting

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

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

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

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

Flying-type Pokémon that use the move {{m|Roost}} will temporarily lose their Flying-type. If a pure-Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{type2|???}} in [[Generation IV]] and a {{type2|Normal}} in [[Generation V]].

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

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 84 Flying-type Pokémon or 12.94% of all Pokémon, making it the third most common elemental type.

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

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

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

===Offensively===

Offensively, Fire is very powerful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more. While Fire is resisted by four types, two types are hindered by {{t|Rock|their own bad special defenses}} and {{t|Dragon| relative scarcity}} therefore keeping their moves rather valuable. While fire types often have below average defensive stats, but high speed, and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon. Fire is super effective against four types; only Ground and Fighting surpasses it. It ties with Ice and Rock, even though double weaknesses to Ice and Rock are slightly more common. However, Fire is the only type that can cause {{p|Paras|quintuple}} {{p|Parasect|damage}}, due to the combination of a double weakness and the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}. Many Fire types can now learn Grass attacks, which can make double resistances to Fire useless. (in this case, Water/Rock types, who are doubly weak to Grass)

===Quantity===

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

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

==Trivia==
* All Fire-type starters second evolution is at level 36.
* In [[Generation III]], all fifteen Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* In the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* As of Generation IV, every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Rapidash|forms}} of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-type Pokémon) are placed in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Red}} color category, as no orange category exists.
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] attribute uses a similar shade of orange that represents the Fire type, despite being described as red in-text. Strangely, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* With 5 resistances, the Fire type has the second most resistances of all types, falling 6 short of the {{type2|Steel}}'s 11 resistances.
* So far, [[Generation III]] is the only generation not to have introduced at least one Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
* Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras|Paras}} family's double weakness to fire paired with their ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}, which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves.
* Generation V has introduced the most Fire-type Pokémon of any generation, with 15 introduced, not counting {{p|Darmanitan}}'s second form or {{p|Rotom}}'s Heat Form.
* There are no Fire-type Pokémon in the Blue [[List of Pokémon by color|Color Dex]] group.

==Characteristics==

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

===Offense===

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

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

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

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

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

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

===Offense===

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. And the ones that have no drawbacks are rarely known. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses.

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
* Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Tamagetake}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat Green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** Coincidentally, they are both based on fungi instead of plants.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Electric-type Pokémon are [[Lt. Surge]] of [[Vermilion City]], [[Wattson]] of [[Mauville City]], [[Volkner]] of [[Sunyshore City]], and [[Kamitsure]] of [[Nimbasa City]].

==Characteristics==

===Offense===

Electric-type Pokémon often have high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats making many of them good Special sweepers. Electric-type's ability to hit the very common {{type|Water}} and {{type|Flying}} types Super Effectively is important for many offensive Pokémon. Despite a lack of reliable powerful moves, {{m|Thunderbolt}} is one of the most commonly used moves due to its mix of power, accuracy and type coverage. {{m|Thunder}} also sees common usage on {{m|Rain Dance}} based teams due to its perfect accuracy in rain. Additionally, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, being one of the most reliable forms of inducing Paralysis, is commonly seen on a wide variety of defensive Pokémon.

===Defense===

On average, Electric types have average {{stat|Defense}} and above average {{stat|Special Defense}}. As a single type, Electric is one of only two types to have only one weakness, the other being {{type|Normal}}. The downside to this is that, Ground attacks are very common types offensively. While they also have a small number of resistances, many dual typed Electrics have secondary types giving them a large total number of resistances, such as {{p|Magnezone}} who along with his pre-evolved forms, has the most resistances of all Pokémon. Also {{p|Shibirudon}} and its family, a pure Electric-type Pokémon, has the ability {{a|Levitate}} effectively giving it no weaknesses.

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

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

==Trivia==
* In the anime, the Electric type has had some degree of exclusivity with Ash, as his {{AP|Pikachu}} was the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character up until {{an|Dawn}} captured {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]''.
* Each male Electric-type Gym Leader is seen wearing a military-style outfit; [[Lt. Surge]] wears a uniform reminiscent of that of {{wp|Vietnam War|Vietnam}} soldiers, [[Wattson]] wears what appears to be an aviator's jacket, and [[Volkner]] wears what appears to be a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
* Every generation has introduced at least one Electric-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters E, M, and P. Coincidentally, these letters, when put together, form the abbreviation for an {{wp|electromagnetic pulse|electricity-related phenomenon}}.
* In [[Generation III]], all Electric moves were [[Cool]] moves except for {{m|Charge}}.
* Generation V introduced the largest number of Electric-type Pokémon, a total of 11. Generation I introduced 9, Generation II introduced 8, Generation IV introduced 7 and Generation III introduced the fewest, only 4.
* The only type combination, that is doubly weak to Electric-type attacks already exists - in fact, {{p|Gyarados|every}} {{p|Mantine|generation}} {{p|Wingull|s}}{{p|Pelipper|o}} {{p|Mantyke|far}} {{p|Koaruhie|intro}}{{p|Swanna|duced}} at least one Pokémon with that typing.
**The same is true for {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* There are no Electric-types in the Purple or Pink [[List of Pokémon by color|Color Dex]] groups.
* The three Pokémon that have had their types changed between [[generation]]s ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Rotom}}'s [[Alternate_form#Rotom|alternate forms]] are all part Electric-type.
* There is an Electric-type Gym Leader in every region except for [[Johto]], which does not share any type specialties with the [[Kanto]] gyms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Offense===

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

===Defense===

Defensively, Bug-types are still flawed, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, multiplying their weakness to {{t|Rock}}. In this way their resistance to {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fighting}}, two extremely powerful types, are of little use, as it is common for both types to master Rock moves.
Dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding double resistance to {{t|Fighting}}, which can make up for their low {{stat|Defense}}. They also have a double resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves, meaning they would take very little damage from such notorious moves as {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Petal Dance}}.

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Even though {{t|Flying}} is a common secondary type among Bug-type Pokémon, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}} {{p|Ulgamoth|are}} {{p|Genesect|not}} Flying types.
* Until Platinum, several Bug-type Pokémon, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}, were unable to learn any Bug-type moves. Each of them is now able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level, and Wormadam can learn {{m|Signal Beam}} by [[move tutor]].
* Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early. Reasons for that could be to give the player the opportunity of having a strong evolved Pokémon in the beginning in order to earn the Gym [[Badge]] more easily, and that insects in fact can increase their population in short periods of time. Ironically though, {{p|Ulgamoth}} evolves at level 59, the second highest level needed to evolve, only surpassed by {{p|Sazandora}}. But another method may be due to the fact, that most fully evolved bug type Pokémon's stats are extremely low, being only somewhat higher than most basic, or baby stage Pokémon.
** Despite this, all but one of the very first Gyms are strong against Bug-types, as they specialize in {{t|Rock}} and {{type2|Flying}}s, and even the one that isn't has a chance to specialize in {{type2|Fire}}s.
* Until Generation IV, the only Bug moves with a power above 25 were Megahorn and Silver Wind, which made them extremely hard to use offensively.
* As of Generation II, the Bug type (along with the {{t|Fighting}} type) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).
** In Generation I, the Bug type and the {{t|Poison}} type also shared the same interaction: they were super-effective against each other. As of Generation II, Poison-type Pokémon now resist Bug-type moves, and Poison-type moves are neutral on Bug-types.
* The Poison type's now neutral matchup against Bug is likely based on insects adapting to Poison in real life.
* All mid-evolution Bug Pokémon are based on cocoons.
* {{m|String Shot}} is the only Bug-type status move that can miss.
* Generation V introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18.
** Additionally, Generation V is the only Generation to introduce a Bug-type legendary Pokémon: {{p|Genesect}}.
** Generation V is the only Generation not to introduce a dual Bug/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon.
* All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members that specialize in Bug-type Pokémon are male.
** This could be a reference to the stereotype that girls are afraid of bugs, a stereotype that [[Misty]] lives up to in the anime when she first encounters Ash's {{AP|Caterpie}}.
* Statistically, Bug-type Pokémon are the weakest, as most fully evolved Bug-type Pokémon have stats that aren't even close to 400. However, Generation IV and V introduced several Bug-type Pokémon with base stat totals over 500, including one at 600 (Genesect).

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* There were no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). From Generation II onwards, Ghost-type moves are indeed super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* There has yet to be a Pokémon with a double weakness to Ghost, though multiple types are weak to it.
* There has been exactly one notable trainer introduced in each Generation specializing in Ghost-types. Interestingly, all three [[Elite Four]] members ([[Agatha]], [[Phoebe]], and [[Shikimi]]) were introduced in odd-numbered Generations, and both [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Morty]] and [[Fantina]]) in even-numbered ones.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* {{m|Shadow Force}} is the only Ghost-type move with [[List of moves|100 or more power]].
* All [[Generation V]] fully evolved Ghost-type Pokémon are used by Shikimi of the [[Unova]] Elite Four.

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

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

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

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

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

Some notable trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former champion of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]], [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Statistical averages==

}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

The Rock type is rather risky defensively. Despite having an overall high [[stats|Defense]] on average, its weaknesses to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Fighting}} moves, commonly physical in nature, take it down a notch. The fact that, at best, its [[stats|Special Defense]] is mediocre, combined with its weakness to the common {{t|Grass}} and {{type2|Water}} moves, greatly decrease its ability to defend. Double weaknesses among Rock-types are very common. Rock/Steel Pokémon are doubly weak to Ground and Fighting, two common powerful types. Rock/Water Pokémon and Rock/Ground Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass and the latter is also doubly weak to the common Water (along with an extra weakness to the powerful Ice.) The low Speed that many Rock-types have causes even further problems. Their resistance to Fire can now be made useless as many Fire-types movesets have been expanded in [[Generation IV]] to include Grass attacks (most notably Solarbeam).

However, resistances to {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Fire}} help the Rock-type to hold it's own if it needs to. Moreover, it has gotten a boost in [[Generation IV]] due to {{m|Sandstorm}} increasing said lackluster Special Defense by 50% and the fact that Sandstorm is very common in many tiers, thanks to Sand Stream automatically casting a permanent Sandstorm.

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

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

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

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Ground type is somewhat risky. It is weak to the common types {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Ice}}. It resists {{t|Poison}}, a type rarely used offensively, and {{t|Rock}}. It is, however, immune to the {{t|Electric}}-type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting {{t|Electric}} moves that are not {{type|Electric}} themselves, and the fact that as of Generation V, only {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Rotom}}'s Mow Form have a ¼ resistance to {{t|Electric}}. This also renders them immune to the crippling {{m|Thunder Wave}}.

Offensively, the Ground type is one of the most powerful attacking attacking types, with others being {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Fire}}. It is the only type super-effective against {{t|Electric}}, and is super-effective against five types in total; only the {{t|Fighting}} type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against the best defensive type, {{t|Steel}}. {{t|Grass}}- and {{t|Bug}}-type Pokémon do resist Ground, but this is largely mitigated by the common Grass/Poison and Bug/Poison typing. This, combined with the fact that the highly damaging and popular Earthquake has been available as TM26 in every Generation, makes Ground a very potent type offensively.

The greatest disadvantage of the Ground type is that it does not affect the very common {{type|Flying}} Pokémon at all, nor Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

When used in contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves. No Ground-type moves are [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while they can be the other three types.

As of Generation V, there are 59 Ground-type Pokémon or 6.09% of all Pokémon, making it the seventh most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Along with the {{type2|Fighting}}, Ground-type moves are super-effective against the most types: five.
* Each generation has introduced at least one Ground-type Pokémon whose English name begins with the letter G.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks is treated inconsistently, sometimes upheld and sometimes ignored.
* All types that resist the {{type2|Flying}} are weak to Ground, and vice versa; however, the type combinations Electric/Flying, Rock/Flying, and Steel/Flying still resist both due to the Flying-type's immunity to Ground moves.
* More Pokémon are immune to Ground-type moves than any other type, as both {{t|Flying}} Pokémon and {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon are immune to Ground.
* For each possible Ground-type Pokémon with a different subtype that nullifies its weakness to {{t|Grass}}, there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination.

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

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

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

===Offense===

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

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

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 57 Poison-type Pokémon or 8.78% of all Pokémon, making it the eighth most common elemental type.

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

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

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

===Defense===

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

===Offense===

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* Because of {{m|Bite}}'s change to Dark from the {{type|Normal}} in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Dark-type move introduced in each generation. Despite this, there is not a Dark-type Pokémon from each generation; Dark is the only type not assigned to a Pokémon introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Steel}}.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.
* So far, 9 Dark-type moves has been shown in the anime, the least of all elemental types.
*All non-legendary pure Dark-type Pokémon are based off of fox, dog, or cat-like creatures.

Venomoth: /* Type-affected game mechanics */

{{ElementalTypes|diamond|* 1}}
An '''elemental type''' is a property for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s. Each elemental type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is effective against, which types of Pokémon it is less effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. There are 17 types, each of which is listed to the right.

A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{type2|Fire}}, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{type2|Grass}} and a {{type2|Poison}}. With the current 17-type system, there are a possible 272 different type combinations. A move may have only one type.

Within the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] and the games, most [[Gym Leader]]s and members of the [[Elite Four]] are designed to have a type-specific theme.

==Type effectiveness==
If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal; if a move's type is weak against a specific type, then the damage done is half the normal damage done. Note that this effect is multiplied, e.g if a move's type is strong against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Dig}}, a {{type|Ground}} move on an {{p|Aggron}}, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage.

If a move's type is completely ineffective due to the opposing Pokémon's type, then the damage done by the move is zero. Otherwise, the damage will be at the very least 1HP.

==Type-affected game mechanics==
All games before [[Generation IV]] also made [[damage category|a distinction]] between [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s based on their type; as of Generation IV, this is dependent on the move itself.

When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[Same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. A good example is an {{p|Aron}} that knows {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Both attacks are physical attacks and both have a base power of 50. However because Aron is a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon, the power of its Metal Claw move will be multiplied by 1.5.

Some [[weather conditions]], [[Ability|abilities]], and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type2|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type2|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this ability. Likewise, each type has a specific item that can be given to a Pokémon to hold that will power up one of the specific types, such as the [[Metal Coat]], which powers up {{type2|Steel}} moves by 20% (10% prior to Generation IV).

==Glitch types==
There are several [[List of glitch types|glitch types]], such as the {{t|Bird}} type, which only appear through the use of glitches. Other than the Bird type, glitch types are the result of the game reading other data as if it were types. The Bird type was programmed into the code of the Generation I and II games, but was not given to any Pokémon.

== Get Even? ==

As we did with {{m|Devastate}}, shouldn't Retaliation be moved to Get Even because of translation of [[Heracross (EX Team Rocket Returns 43)|this card?]]----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 18:31, 5 November 2010 (

[[User:Metagross666|Metagross666]] 01:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC): My beliefs are this: We don't ''definitely'' know whether Get Even is confirmed name. We all know Bulbapedia's policy: '''Do not give out information about Black and White unless it is ''confirmed'' true.''' Unless someone can give positively true information about a specific move, I believe no user has the right to alter the position of Retaliation(or Get Even if that ''does'' happen to be the correct English translation).

I slightly suspect that the name for this move might end up bein ''A''venge to go with [[revenge|this one]]. —[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 21:20, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

== Super Smash Bros. ==

The paragraph under Other appearances and for Super Smash Bros. seems to be almost totally unrelated to Super Smash Bros. Perhaps there is a link I am unaware of. Even so, the paragraph has a few grammatical errors and could have been written better alltogether all throughout. Is anyone aware of what the author was trying to say? Also, if this paragraph does indeed have links to Super Smash Bros. melee as the title say, could anyone rewrite this in such a way as to indicate this link exists? {{u|Purdyaw}}

== Inflation =/= Levitate ==

I don't really think that trivia about Jigglypuff not being able to levitate should be there. It's fairly obvious Jigglypuff can inflate itself giving it a small amount of lift, but it cannot {{a|levitate}} as it cannot stay up forever. Unlike Pokémon like {{p|Koffing}} or {{p|Weezing|its evolution}} which use a {{tt|gas to stay afloat|See Koffing's PokéDex entry in Silver Version.}} Jigglypuff is {{tt|not filled with a gas that lifts it off the ground|Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Gold Version}}, instead {{tt|its air is used to keep it from running out of breath ''while'' singing.|See Jigglypuff's PokéDex entry in Sapphire Version.}} It's more like a balloon filled with oxygen rather than helium. Remember, just because a chicken is a bird and has wings doesn't mean it can fly. :D But if you wanna argue about it, do it here. Stop the editing war. (P.S. If you want to argue about Pokémon Snap, remember that {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} also floated, {{p|Magneton}} weren't stuck together, you used pester balls to evolve a {{p|Grimer}}, and Koffing had a hold on Jigglypuff ''without any arms''.) [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 03:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:In all honesty, I don't think any such argument need ever be started after you so thoroughly shut down the notion; it is blatantly obvious that Jigglypuff is not a Pokémon given to the ability to keep off the ground, and so noting that it cannot do this seems utterly silly. (Also, sorry about the editing war; I just figured reverting and providing a comment would be the easiest way for me to talk to Vuvuzela about it.) —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 03:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::If you think it should not be there then feel free to take it down, I still think it is relevant, Jigglypuff not being able stay in the air forever doesnt seem like a good reason to take it down though, Vibrava can barely fly yet it has the Levitate aility, and I also do not see what you mean by "stop the editing war",there was never an edit war going on, the edit was only reverted the one time.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

::::Vibrabva's Sapphire & Emerald Pokedex entries both say they are crap at flying (not in those exact words of course) but it still has the ability. Jigglypuff is seen to be able to float for a long time in Snap, presumably longer than Vibrava. Also, it would not be obvious to many newer fans that Jigglypuff is capable of floating in the air, which would be a good reason to keep it on the page.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:24, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::Regardless of how well Vibrava can fly, it ''can'' fly; the title of this section is the perfect counter to your argument. Despite Jigglypuff's ability to remain in the air for any given time, it is quite clearly doing so via inflation and not levitation; as such, it should have nothing to do with the Levitate ability. —'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY]]''' 04:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::It says it can fly short distances, doesn't say it can't fly. I've already ruled out that Pokémon Snap has got a lot of questionable content so using that as your definitive proof isn't entirely constructive. It's the only form of media to ever show Jigglypuff hovering. Every other source has no information of Jigglypuff capable of such feats. Even in Smash Brothers it falls after a ''very'' short period of time, and in side games like the Ranger series it never says anything in the browser nor do they fly in-game.

Vibrava is not levitating either, it is flapping its wings to fly, so the same argument could be used for Jiggly, as Jigglypuff keeps itself airborne by sucking in lots of air, rather than levitating.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 04:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:You do recall that you're the one who initially mentioned Vibrava, right?

'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|«hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY»]]''' 04:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:That's kind of a silly statement. Air isn't less dense than air. :P Just cause it fills itself with air doesn't mean it'll fly. And ah, I only just got into the manga so I must have forgotten. But the manga also has some content not consistent with the game's data, and while Green's Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff may be able to fly, it's not stated in game that normal Jigglypuff can (sorta like how her ditto made her look like Sabrina when Ditto can't really transform into people). Now if it actually said in the Dex "It can float short distances" then it might be noteworthy.

::::Jiggly has been seen to float, in 4 different canons, so it does deserve a mention, granted, the manga might be bit dodgy (they had zombie pokemon & a sliced up Arbok), but still, as for the sucking in air, thats game/anime physics for you. As for Vibrava, the main reason it has the ability is because it can stay in the air for a time, thus giving it a reason to be immune to Ground attack, Jigglypuff can stay in the air for a time, thus giving it a valid reason to be immune to ground attacks. Actually levitating has nothing to do with having the ability. For example, Regirock has the Clear Body ability, yet unlike Regice or Tentacool its body isnt intended to be clear.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 05:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::I agree that Jigglypuff has demonstrated an ability to remain off the ground (but not ''levitate'') in various portions of the canon, but definitely not within the main series of games, which is the only relevant one when it comes to determining whether or not a Pokémon is a suitable candidate for an Ability.

::::::True, the names of abilities can be dodgy sometimes. Like Flygon and Vibrava cannot levitate. They just can't. Neither can any other Pokémon that has wings and/or can fly. However they can fly giving them the ability levitate. Clear body prevents stat reduction, however none of the Pokémon that have it are transparent save for Regice who you can kind of see through. That's because when it says a "clear body" it could mean that it's so focused that it doesn't let outside forces effect its performance.

This youtube video shows the new Black/White animations, Igglybuff floats for most of the animation, Wigglytuff sort-of does for a second, but ironically Jigglypuff doesnt float at all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szfisau761w
I think Tentacool & Tentacruel are also meant to be clear like Regice however, just like real-life jellyfish.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 05:54, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:Let's call it solved, then, eh? '''[[User:Hexagon Theory|«hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY»]]''' 06:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:Well Igglybuff is barely 2lbs and Jigglypuff is 12lbs. As for Wigglytuff, it just jumped and displayed the inflation that just makes it fall slower. With Igglybuff floating, you could argue it's only the wind. I mean look at {{p|Hoppip}}. It gets blown away by wind and it's just a pound lighter, so that extra pound Igglybuff's got could be just enough to keep it afloat for a bit but not blow it away.

::Both Erufuun & the Hoppip family are light enough to be blown away by the winds, Erufuun is 6 kilos, & Jumpluff is 6 pounds, (and its evo's are part Flying type possibly an early way of giving them immunity to ground atacks since there is nothing Flying-like about them), so the animations now imply that Igglybuff should have the ability Levitate...[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 06:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Levitate grants immunity from Ground-type attacks because levitating Pokémon are never on the ground and so can't be hit by them. Are you saying Igglybuff is never on the ground? '''[[User:Hexagon Theory|«hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY»]]''' 06:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
::::No, but Gengar, Vibrava, Baltoy, Flygon, Chingling, Carnivine & Sazandora arent permanently in the air either.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 06:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::That sorta reminds me how in PBR Flygon stands on the ground and it's all "Earthquake failed". :P If anything we could just say Jigglypuff jumps high then slowly drifts to the ground. Sorta like how Blaziken can jump a 30-foot building. If it can fly or stay in the air on its own without the aid of air or other outside forces(be it gas or psychic powers), it's understandable why it has levitate. If it can stay in the air for a small period of time (or is pushed around by the wind) but is otherwise grounded, it doesn't get levitate. They're all just really light, but they can't fly or levitate. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 06:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Did the Jigglypuff line used to be all-female? I feel like the 3-1 male ratio is new or maybe I'm just mistaken. —[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 20:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Despite being based on a fish and living in the water, Maggyo is not of the {{type|Water}}.
** Its Pokédex entries state it can reside in mud as well, despite taking super effective damage from both Ground- and Water-type attacks.
* Maggyo is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 471.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Maggyo.
** Due to this, Maggyo is the only Electric-type Pokémon immune to Electric-type attacks, excluding Pokémon immune via abilities.
* Maggyo has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Maggyo is the only [[List of Pokémon by color#Brown|brown]] {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Maggyo is one of four Pokémon immune to one of its own types without the aid of an ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Gliscor}} and {{p|Landlos}}.
** Coincidentally, they are all {{type2|Ground}}.
** Of these, Maggyo is the only one that is not {{2t|Ground|Flying}}.
* Maggyo is the only non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} {{type|Ground}} Pokémon that is not related to any other Pokémon by evolution.
* It is arguably the only fish-inspired Pokémon to be weak against {{type2|water}}.

===Origin===
Maggyo seems to be based on a {{wp|flounder}} or {{wp|dab (fish)|dab}} combined with an {{wp|electric ray}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|stargazer}}, another fish that spends most of its time buried in the sea bottom and can make electric discharges when disturbed.

====Name origin====
Its name is likely a combination of マッド ''maddo'', mud, and 魚 ''gyo'', fish.
