Violent Wind: /* Trivia */ Added some detail about Jacinthe as a Fairy Queen character. In particular her dynamic with Lebanne evoking the tale of Tam Lin, a figure who was stolen away by her against his wishes and warns travelers to avoid his fate.

'''Jacinthe''' (Japanese: '''ユカリ''' ''Yukari'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is the leader of the Lumiose [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] (SBC), an upper-class organization dedicated to Pokémon battling. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Clefable}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Jacinthe is a svelte, elegant woman with very dark complexion and wide, sparkling eyes. Her eyelashes are black, but her eyebrows and hair are a light lilac color. Her hair is very voluminous and reaches down to her thighs, and is parted into two giant, spiraling curls that flank a smaller middle curl on the back.

Jacinthe's attire, described by an NPC as a one-of-a-kind haute couture, is a tight-fitting light purple dress with puffy shoulders, full-length sleeves, and a knee-length skirt. Her sleeves are wider at the wrists, and the whole of her dress is decorated with white lace patterns on the hems of the wrists, around the waist, and on the collar and chest area. A golden flower brooch with an opalescent gem is set on the center of the collar. Jacinthe also wears white gloves with yellow ribbons on the wrists, white fishnet stockings with yellow sequins, and light purple high-heels with six-petaled, fairy-like decors resembling [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Clefable}}'s wings on the vamps. On her left index finger, she has a ring with the SBC logo over her glove. Finally, Jacinthe wears a pillbox-style {{wp|fascinator}} on the left side of her head — it has the same fairy-like decor as her shoes on one side, but more ornately designed, and her [[Key Stone]] is set in the center.

=== Personality ===
As one of [[Lumiose City]]'s upper-class elites, Jacinthe maintains a graceful and polite demeanor to the people around her. However, she also tends to have an inflated ego and no sense of personal boundaries, and often refuses to take no for an answer — when [[Team MZ]] had to leave Jacinthe's tournament early to deal with cases of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s, Jacinthe proclaims that her tournament is equally as important and asks Team MZ to return to her posthaste. Jacinthe does not take well to being slighted or disrespected, and although she never loses her temper even when irritated, she may retaliate severely, such as when she cordons off [[Hotel Z]] inside her own "Jacinthe zone" after [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] dismisses her tournament.

Jacinthe enjoys Pokémon battles and leads the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] with the aim to promote growth, appreciation, and understanding between Trainers and Pokémon through battles. She believes that as an elite socialite, she is responsible for guiding the masses and teaching fellow Pokémon Trainers to be the strongest they can be. She also does not stand by when [[Lumiose City]] is in danger, as during the [[Ange]] crisis, she helps the player by developing plans to reach [[Zygarde (Pokémon)|Zygarde]], and working behind the scenes with the mayor and other government forces to defend the city. On the other hand, despite Jacinthe's noble ambitions, she also loves to flaunt her status and engage in ridiculous attempts at expanding her social influence and her upper class status, such as attempting to buy [[Prism Tower]] or proclaiming in the post-game that she wishes to rename Lumiose City to "Jacinthe City".

In the English localization of the game, Jacinthe's dialogues incorporates French words such as "bienvenue" (welcome) and "alors" (well then), much like NPC dialogue in [[Pokémon X and Y]], reflecting the fact that Kalos as a whole is based on France.

===History===
====Background====
Prior the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Jacinthe was tutored in [[Pokémon battle]]s by [[Diantha]], additionally, [[Korrina]] speculates that Diantha's {{p|Gardevoir}} may have inspire Jacinthe's love for {{t|Fairy}} types. 2 years prior to the game, Jacinthe defeated [[Lebanne]] in a battle, and subsequently recruited her as her personal right-hand woman. Lebanne mentioned that Jacinthe had her keep her promise by forcing her to wear her current outfit and act fancy in Jacinthe's presence.

====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
Jacinthe is first mentioned by name during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 20: "A Request from the Rust Syndicate", by the members of her [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] after [[Corbeau]] tasks the player to stop them from giving unwanted lectures to children. Jacinthe is properly introduced after the player reaches Rank C in the [[Z-A Royale]]. Recognizing the many rising stars in the Z-A Royale, Jacinthe personally invites the player, [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Canari]], [[Tarragon]], [[Ivor]], [[Gwynn]], [[Philippe]], and Corbeau to participate in a tournament she created by and for her, which she dubs "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" (Japanese: '''スーパーユカリトーナメント''' ''Super Yukari Tournament''). Before the tournament can begin, however, Urbain/Taunie is informed by [[Vinnie]] of imminent cases of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], causing them and the player to leave the venue early, despite Lebanne's warning.

Jacinthe eventually comes to crash [[Team MZ]]'s Rogue Mega Evolution strategy meeting, insisting that the player and Urbain/Taunie join her tournament and refusing to accept Urbain/Taunie's request to disqualify them, before leaving Team MZ with a warning to not take her lightly. As Team MZ's members battle the Rogue Mega-Evolved {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Altaria}}, and {{p|Venusaur}}, Jacinthe keeps appearing after each battle using a unique pink holographic avatar to remind Team MZ to join her tournament, going as far as threatening to take over [[Hotel Z]] if they take too long. Jacinthe eventually makes good on her threat when she cordons off Hotel Z inside her so-called "Jacinthe zone", using a personal pink holo-tech barrier to surround the hotel perimeter. Jacinthe also sics her SBC fellows and her right-hand woman Lebanne to battle Team MZ in order to coerce them to join the tournament, although Team MZ already states they'll join the tournament anyway, making the threat moot. At the same time, the Z-A Royale app on the player's phone announces that Jacinthe serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank B.

As the player and Urbain/Taunie return to Hotel Richissime, Canari reveals that she and the other guests of the tournament were unable to leave the hotel due to a Jacinthe zone set up inside while Team MZ were fighting the Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Nevertheless, now that all the participants are present, Jacinthe proclaims her Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe open, and puts herself as the top seed for the grand finals. The tournament commences as planned, although not without a surprise interruption from Zygarde and [[Lysandre|L]], who had escorted Zygarde and proclaims that it wishes to challenge the player. The player battles Jacinthe afterward; this battle also doubles as their Z-A Royale promotion match. Jacinthe states that her wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to bring happiness to the people of Lumiose City, by fulfilling her self-proclaimed duty of training each and every one to be the strongest Pokémon Trainers. She gives [[TM020]] ({{m|Play Rough}}) to the player after defeating her.

During the game's final act, Jacinthe and most of the other major Trainers encountered thus far turn up to Team MZ's strategy meeting in hologram forms to discuss how to deal with the [[Ange]] crisis. Jacinthe provides information on the situation in the city and suggests dividing roles in each area in order to help the player reach Zygarde, who is waiting at [[Magenta District]]. Jacinthe does not appear to help the player battle rampaging Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, instead tasking Lebanne to help the player while she works to liaise with the mayor and mobilize forces to defend the city. Jacinthe does eventually appear in person after the battle, right as Lebanne complains about her personality, and Jacinthe makes a mental note to review Lebanne's attitude later. When more Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon appear, Jacinthe and Lebanne together activate a Jacinthe zone barrier to entrap the Pokémon and stop their rampage. In the credits, Jacinthe leads her SBC members in their efforts to help out after the incident with [[Prism Tower]], by setting up Jacinthe zones to quarantine and battle the remaining Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

In the post-game, Ivor and Jacinthe approach Team MZ and ask what the player and Urbain/Taunie will use their Rank A wish for — while also realizing that they both share the same dream of the betterment of Trainers in Lumiose City. Jacinthe suggests the player wishes for a new tournament open to all the Trainers in the city, which would eventually be realized by [[Quasartico Inc.]] as the Infinite Z-A Royale.

===Pokémon===
Jacinthe keeps her Pokémon in [[Luxury Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Clefable}} at the first opportunity.

====Side Mission 119 and [[rematch]]====
After the player has completed 20 reward matches in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], Jacinthe invites the player to return to Hotel Richissime to participate in '''Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe O''', a tournament bracket where Jacinthe occupies every position other than the player's. She must be defeated four times in a row, and uses the same team every time, with both teams being healed between battles. After winning all four battles, the side mission is complete and Jacinthe thereafter uses the stage to host a parody [[battle facility]] called '''Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe Infinite''', where the player can participate in an endless stream of battles, with Jacinthe again using the same team. Similar to more conventional battle facilities, she will keep a record of the player's longest streak of consecutive wins, but there are no rewards other than the experience and money earned from each battle.

==In the TCG==
[[File:JacinthePerfectOrder110.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Jacinthe in the TCG]]
{{main|Jacinthe (Perfect Order 75)}}
'''Jacinthe''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Nihil Zero}} expansion before debuting in the English {{TCG|Perfect Order}} expansion, with artwork by [[Susumu Maeya]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[Souichirou Gunjima]] were released in the same sets. This card allows the player to heal 150 damage from 1 of their {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Jacinthe uses an {{p|Aurorus}}, even though it isn't Fairy-type and can't learn any Fairy-type moves. This may be in contrast to [[Lebanne]], who uses a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.
** In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, it is mentioned by [[Korrina]] that Jacinthe trained under [[Diantha]], who battles with both an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}. Therefore, Jacinthe using Aurorus herself could possibly be a nod to her mentor, with Lebanne following suit in using Tyrantrum.
** Moreover, Korrina speculates that [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] is what sparked Jacinthe's love for Fairy-type Pokémon, which might also be the reason why Jacinthe battles using a Gardevoir of her own.
* When Jacinthe calls using the [[Holo Caster]], her hologram is a different colour than usual, being purple, the same color used for the Jacinthe zone.
* Jacinthe's artwork for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} is the only character art for the game to feature a specialty [[Poké Ball]], that being her signature [[Luxury Ball]].
* Jacinthe's type-specialty, relationship with Lebanne, and overall mannerisms give her a great deal of resemblance to the [[wp:Fairy_Queen|Fairy Queen]] character seen in a number of European folktales. Lebanne's unwilling companionship after losing to her may be a possible allusion to the story of [[wp:Tam_Lin|Tam Lin]], a knight was forced to remain with the Fairy Queen after being taken by her.

Grusha

2026-06-26T12:14:39Z

Violent Wind: /* Trivia */ Made a connection to Altaria's allusions to The Blue Bird (play) and the bluebird of happiness and how this may reflect Grusha's need to crush the aspirations of his challengers.

'''Grusha''' (Japanese: '''グルーシャ''' ''Grusha'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Glaseado Mountain]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Glaseado Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and gives the Ice Badge to trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Before being the Gym Leader of Glaseado Gym, Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder,<ref name=SVsite/> and the second best in the world — at one point having won six times in a row at Paldean major competitions. He was forced to retire from the sport after sustaining an injury from an accident. He usually keeps his cool, but will show his hidden emotions in the heat of battle.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/grusha/ Grusha — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Because being a Gym Leader is the only thing he has left, he is overly worried about maintaining his position, creating some discomfort around [[Geeta]]. After the player defeats him in a rematch during a Gym Inspection, Grusha regains his former determined side, intrigued by the player's skills.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Grusha gives out {{TM|124|Ice Spinner}} after defeating him.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Grusha can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach.

===Challenging the Glaseado Gym===
Glaseado Gym Leader: Grusha

(AKA the Sub-zero Shredder)

"This Ice-type user, once a renowned snowboarder, was forced to retire from the sport due to a grievous injury. His formerly fiery passion now remains locked away behind a thick, icy shell."

===Pokémon===
Grusha will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Altaria}} at the first opportunity.

==In animation==
[[File:Grusha anime.png|250px|thumb|Grusha in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Grusha first appeared in silhouette alongside the other [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]] in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'' during [[Clavell]]'s explanation of how [[Tera Training]] works.

Grusha debuted properly in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. He watched [[Liko]] and [[Katy]] battling against [[Rika]] and later exchanged brief words with Liko about her spirit during said battle. In [[HZ057|the following episode]], Grusha was assigned as Liko's second opponent as part of the Tera Training course.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Grusha was seen watching [[Roy]] and [[Ryme]]'s Tera Training battle in the middle of the crowd. After the {{pkmn|battle}} ended, he left silently.

In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Grusha was seen with his {{p|Cetoddle}} when he met with Liko again after witnessing her bobsledding on another Cetoddle. Grusha was unamused about Liko having fun before her test and thought she wasn't taking it seriously. It was soon revealed that in the past, Grusha used to be a pro snowboarder, but was forced to retire early from an injury. He then focused on his Gym Leader duties with a cold-hearted attitude, becoming Paldea's strongest Gym Leader.

Liko and Grusha's battle commenced soon afterwards, but despite Liko doing her best, she still lost without defeating either of his Pokémon. Afterwards, Grusha declared that Liko had failed her test, as he refused to pass anyone who couldn't defeat him. He also told her he wasn't willing to give her a [[rematch]] before leaving.

Grusha reappeared in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', where it was revealed that [[Friede]] contacted him to help search for Liko. He helped Roy and [[Dot]] fend off [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]]'s Pokémon with his {{p|Altaria}}, forcing the [[Explorers]] admins to retreat. Afterwards he commanded his Altaria to destroy a rock that separated Liko from her friends, finding Liko and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} and reuniting them with their friends. After Liko thanked Grusha for his help, Grusha soon left on his way.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Grusha was in the [[Naranja Academy]] Library with his Cetoddle, when he noticed a security guard had been attacked and had been healed by [[Liko's Hattrem]]. Following Hattrem, he saw Liko's battle against Sidian and thought of assisting her, but Hattrem had him stay put and watch. After witnessing Liko's victory, he told her to meet him in the staff room. Liko feared she would be punished for {{Tera}}stallizing despite not passing her test, but to her surprise [[Geeta]] and Clavell revealed that Grusha had passed her, due to her bravery and heroic actions which protected the school and showed the results of her training. Grusha additionally apologized to Liko for misjudging her strength and congratulated her. Grusha further noted how Liko's true strength as a Trainer shines through when fighting for the sake of others.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Grusha saw Liko's battle against Roy during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. After the battle, Grusha encouraged Liko to not give up despite her loss and to get stronger as a Trainer.

====Character====
[[File:Grusha snowboarder anime.png|thumb|250px|Grusha as a snowboarder]]
Considered the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Paldea League]], Grusha is a perfectionist, not allowing mistakes in his assessments and battles. Grusha is considered the pride of [[Glaseado Mountain]], both for his achievements as a snowboarder and as a Gym Leader.

Although he partially recovered from the accident, Grusha eventually retired from competition, focusing solely on his career as a Gym Leader. His reason for leaving the sport remained a mystery, although some locals believed it was because he could no longer achieve the same results as before.

Despite his cold and strict personality, Grusha is a kind and compassionate person deep down, as he was willing to answer Friede's calls to help find Liko and saved Roy and Dot from the Explorers admins as seen in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]''. He is also capable of honor and respect, as he approved of Liko's battling skills after her victory against Sidian, passing her test for her heroic actions and apologizing to her for misjudging her strength as a Trainer.

While it was still {{pkmn2|wild}}, Cetoddle walked onto a course where Grusha was competing in a snowboarding race, causing him fall over and get injured. After recovering, Grusha consoled Cetoddle for mistakenly causing his injury and added it to his team. It can usually be seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]], following Grusha around. It cheered on its Trainer during [[Liko]]'s [[Tera Training]] test battle.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Grusha Adventures.png|thumb|right|x300px|Grusha in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Grusha debuted in the {{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}. He was first seen in front of the [[Glaseado Gym]], where he came across a [[Rotom Phone]] that was thrown out the window of a passing by [[Flying Taxi]]. When he answered a call the phone was receiving, he found it was coming from {{adv|Nemona}}, who informed him the phone's owner was a girl named {{Scarlet}}. Grusha traveled to [[Montenevera]], where he met with Nemona and [[Ryme]] and handed the phone off to the former. With assistance from [[Cassiopeia]], Nemona learned that Scarlet was kidnapped by some {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s and was being taken to [[North Province (Area Two)]]. Nemona wanted to head down and rescue her friend, but with no available Flying Taxis to ride, she was forced to ride with Grusha down [[Glaseado Mountain]]'s perilous slopes.

Upon arriving at [[North Province (Area One)]], Nemona thanked Grusha for his assistance and said her farewells. Before she left, Grusha warned Nemona about Scarlet, revealing that he and the other [[Gym Leader]]s were under orders by the {{pal|Pokémon League}} to monitor Scarlet, as she was an unidentified person who illegally enrolled into [[Uva Academy]] under a false identity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GrushaPaldeaEvolved268.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Grusha]]
{{main|Grusha (Paldea Evolved 184)}}
'''Grusha''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Snow Hazard}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same artist, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It allows players to draw cards until they have 5 cards in their hand, unless they have no Energy attached to any of their Pokémon; in which case the player draws cards until they have 7 cards in their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Grusha's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|絶対零度トリック|Absolute Zero Trick}}.
* Grusha is the first Gym Leader since [[Blaine]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} whose Gym is not located in a town or city.
* Grusha's Altaria's {{t|Ice}} Tera Type may allude to icy clouds in the skies, considering [[Glaseado Mountain]]'s high altitude.
** Given Altaria's possible connection to [[wp:The_Blue_Bird_(play)|The Blue Bird]], Grusha's use of it may be an ironic reflection of the fact he cannot move on from his past and crushes the dreams of challenging Trainers, an inversion of the play's message of needing to seek happiness for yourself without comparing it to others.
* Grusha's Altaria is the only Pokémon used in a Gym Battle in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] to have a full moveset.
* Grusha's Trainer ID is 209896. He has the same ID as [[Clavell]].
* Grusha in {{aniseries|HZ}} shares similarities with Pryce from {{aniseries|PTS}}, as both are Ice-type Gym Leaders with cold-hearted attitudes. In their pasts, they both sustained injuries before becoming Gym Leaders.

Swampert (Pokémon)

2026-06-14T14:54:30Z

Violent Wind: /* Origin */ Some detail for Mega Swampert's potential basis. I wasn't sure how to include it without referencing another piece of media directly but I think there is something to be said about how he has wrist rockets to fly around. If someone can think of a non-copyright violated way to incorporate that here I would be grateful.

'''Swampert''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラグラージ''' ''Laglarge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Marshtomp}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Mudkip}}.

Swampert can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Swampert''' using the [[Swampertite]]. Mega Swampert was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Swampert is an {{wp|Amphibian|amphibian}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bulky frame and four thick limbs, the two longer ones at the front serving as arms while the shorter limbs provide support for the creature if it chooses to stand upright. Swampert is semi-bipedal. It can stand on its three-toed feet with a hunched posture, and pick up or grab objects with its hands, but when moving about it tends to run on all four limbs. It has orange conical {{wp|gill}}s that protrude from round patches on either side of its face. Two large fan-like black fins extend from the top of its orange eyes to the back of its head. Similarly, a black fan-like tail fin extends upward from its hindquarters. Swampert is predominantly cobalt with a white abdomen, orange gills, and similarly orange padding on all four limbs.

Swampert boasts the physical strength to easily drag an enormous boulder weighing more than a ton, batter down opponents, and swim faster than a jet ski. It can even tow a large ship while swimming. Swampert's arms are as hard as rocks. The arms can shatter enormous boulders to pieces with one swing. These thick arms allow Swampert to take down foes with a single swing. It has keen eyesight, enabling it to see in murky waters. Swampert also can predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. When a storm is approaching, Swampert will pile up boulders to protect its nest. It makes its nests on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|beautiful beaches}}. The reason Swampert covers itself in mud is that it wants to keep its skin moist. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Swampert has occasionally been observed relaxing in the mud before falling asleep. Swampert typically does this after exhausting all of its strength.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Muddy Water}} was its [[signature move]].

===Forms===
Swampert can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Swampert.

As Mega Swampert, this Pokémon gains considerable bulk. Its upper body and arms become more muscular, bulging compared to its squat lower body. The orange padding on Swampert's thighs vanish, but it gains two additional patches of orange padding on each wrist and another patch on each shoulder. This padding and its gills become a darker, redder shade of orange, while the gills are now larger and bulbous, with filaments extending past its mouth. The black fins on its head are thicker and now extend down past its shoulders. The black tail fin is still shaped like an upward-turned fan, but it now forms a short ridge that extends up to this Pokémon's forehead, flanked on either side by the aforementioned head-fins. The webbed digits on Mega Swampert's "hands" take on a black color and now feature better defined {{wp|Joints of hand|articulations}}.

According to the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', Mega Swampert fills the organs on its back with air before diving underwater or battling; it uses that pressure to increase the power of its punches. Due to its Mega Evolution, Mega Swampert has become much stronger and tougher with its more developed body. Mega Evolution causes the water in Mega Swampert's body to enhance the strength of its already enlarged muscles even further. This boost is described as being similar to how a hydraulic pump works. This allows Mega Swampert to use tenacious power on both the land and the water.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150221072340/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon | Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It can now stand on its two legs more and deliver more damage through its strong, heavy fist.

====Major appearances====
Swampert debuted in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]'', where {{OBP|Tommy|AG032}}'s Marshtomp was revealed to have evolved into one while living in the [[Abandoned Ship|Forsaken Ship]] ever since it was accidentally separated from Tommy. Since then, it had come to believe that Tommy had abandoned it. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on the Forsaken Ship and ran into Tommy, Swampert abducted them one by one and trapped them in the webbing of its {{p|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, {{an|Brock}}, Tommy, and {{p|Pikachu}} were left.

==Trivia==
* Swampert has the highest base stat total of any fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]].
**This also applies to Mega Swampert regarding Mega Evolutions of any fully evolved first partner Pokémon.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Swampert is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 635.
* Swampert and its [[Marshtomp (Pokémon)|pre-evolved form]] are the only first partner Pokémon to have a double weakness to another first partner Pokémon type ({{t|Grass}}).
** In addition, {{t|Water}}/{{t|Ground}} is the type combination with the fewest amount of weaknesses (one) that involves at least one of Grass, {{t|Fire}} and Water (the three first partner Pokémon types).

===Origin===
Like its pre-evolved forms, Swampert appears to be based on the {{wp|Necturus|mudpuppy}}, {{wp|axolotl}}, {{wp|mudskipper}}, or the {{wp|Gilled lungfish|gilled African lungfish}}. Swampert's portrayal in the {{pkmn|animated series}} suggests that it could also be based on common depictions of a {{wp|List of swamp monsters|swamp monster}}—a fictional, frequently antagonistic creature imagined to live in swamps and often has some physical humanoid traits. The fins on its head and tail resemble {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s, also known as ''tessen''. Its stance is reminiscent of {{wp|rikishi|sumo wrestler}}s.

Mega Swampert's appearance and behaviors may be based on elements of [[wp:Scuba_diving|scuba diving]]. Its ability to propel itself through the water with jets of compressed air on its orange organs also bears resemblance to [[wp:Diver_propulsion_vehicle|diver propulsion vehicles.]]

====Name origin====
Swampert may be a combination of ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'', ''expert'', or ''earth''.

Laglarge may be a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'', ''large'', and possibly ''lag'' or ''lug''.

'''Alomomola''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ママンボウ''' ''Mamanbou'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
Alomomola is a pink, fishlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with darker pink markings on its heart-shaped body and fins. It has large dorsal and ventral fins resembling hands, each divided into four sections and tipped with a paler pink. The shape of the Pokémon resembles an ocean sunfish, as it lacks a proper tail fin. Its eyes are round with golden irises and a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and back toward the rest of the body. Alomomola's entire body is enveloped in a special membrane that can heal wounds.

Alomomola lives in the open seas. If it finds an injured Pokémon floating at sea, it will heal the Pokémon's wounds using its membrane and carry it back to shore. Alomomola does this because any predators coming for the injured Pokémon could also come for Alomomola. Alomomola swims alongside smaller Pokémon to accompany them; thus, many water Pokémon gather around it. Fishermen take Alomomola during long voyages, saving the need to have a doctor or medicine on ships.

==Trivia==
* Alomomola's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
** It is one of five Pokémon whose English name is palindromic, with the other four being {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Farigiraf}}.
* In the dub of {{aniseries|SM}}, Alomomola's name is mispronounced as '''Alola'''mola, possibly due to its similarity to the name of the [[series]]' setting, [[Alola]]. Coincidentally Alola is also a palindrome.
* Alomomola represents {{wp|March}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Alomomola was the first non-Legendary [[Generation V]] Pokémon to appear in an episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, namely the [[BW001|first episode]] of {{aniseries|BW}}.
* At the time of Alomomola's release, it was speculated that [[Luvdisc]] would evolve into Alomomola due to their similar appearance and identical typing. However, this was not the case.

===Origin===
Alomomola appears to be a combination of an {{wp|ocean sunfish}} and a heart representing health. Due to its hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the {{wp|Claddagh ring}}. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the {{wp|Red garra|doctor fish}}. The fact that it wraps itself in a special membrane might be a reference to a {{wp|parrotfish}}, or the nourishing secretions of the {{wp|Discus (fish)|discus fish}}. Alomomola being found in locations with the {{p|Jellicent}} line reflects the ocean sunfish's diet of {{wp|jellyfish}}. Alomomola's heart-shape may also allude to the horizontal basking behaviors observed in ocean sunfish, giving it the appearance of a heart floating on the water's surface.

====Name origin====
Alomomola may be a combination of ''aloha'' ({{wp|Hawaiian language|Hawaiian}} for love), ''mom'', and ''Mola mola'' (scientific name for the {{wp|ocean sunfish}}).

Mamanbou may be a combination of ''mama'' and 翻車魚 ''manbō'' (ocean sunfish).

Emboar (Pokémon)

Violent Wind: /* Origin */ Added more details to the comparisons between Zhang Fei and Mega Emboar. The process of Mega Evolution causing it to become emotionally unstable was also something I felt like including (one of Zhang Fei's major flaws in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is his love of drink), but I wasn't sure if that would be too mature, and chose to just mention it here instead.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Emboar''' using the [[Emboarite]]. Mega Emboar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Emboar fire fists Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Emboar using its flaming beard to set its arms on fire]]
Emboar is a bulky, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pig-like features. It has a red nose, large bushy black eyebrows, and two tusks protruding from its lower jaw. Constantly burning flames cover the front of its neck and shoulders. The fire beard comes from the body flame within its body. It has short legs and thick arms. Its arms have orange upper portions while the legs have red upper portions. All of its limbs have black lower portions with thin yellow lines where the upper and lower colors meet. These lines are straight on the arms and spiked on the legs. The arms have red lines around the wrists and tufts of fur on the elbows. The hands are tipped with three claws, while the feet have two claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar has swirled yellow markings. Its small tail ends in a tuft of hair.

Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire. It uses its power and speed to master fighting moves. This power can be increased when Emboar's neck flame intensifies. The more dire the situation is, the more excited Emboar becomes to the point of enjoying itself. Though very tough and relentless when fighting, it shows deep affection for those it considers friends. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in a fire to use many powerful attacks.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Emboar and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.

===Forms===
Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Emboar.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Emboar has become even more powerful, both in physical strength and in fire energy.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-emboar Mega Emboar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Emboar's flaming beard has grown to envelop its whole upper body as a piece of armor, blazing mostly as red fire, with yellow flames at the shoulders, upper back, and chest. Its waist and tail are covered in red, jagged fur, which, when combined with its upper flames, creates the illusion of a menacing face. The black fur previously covering only Emboar's arms and midsection has spread to the rest of Mega Emboar's body, except for the head, which remains orange. The swirled markings on its abdomen have been slightly reorganized, with two of them symmetrically positioned on the front and the remaining one on the center of its back. There is a yellow and a red line on both of its wrists and knees, with the ones on its wrists being circular and the ones on its knees being angular. Mega Emboar's eyebrows take on sharper, triangular shapes, accompanied by a curled brow above each eye, and it has gained a tuft of hair similar to a topknot on the back of its head. Two pairs of tusks sprout out of its mouth, with the outer ones being much longer.

In battle, Mega Emboar wields a serpentine, halberd spear shaped from blazing flames it emitted from its palms.<ref name=ZAsite/> The spear is made of red fire with a yellow stripe running through the middle in its entirety. The upper half of the spear is more jagged than the lower half and ends in a split, with both ends curving slightly inward. This Pokémon is strongly driven by emotion, which are said to be running high due to the effects of Mega Evolution. As such, it tends to act alone and relentlessly challenges anyone it sees, but still retains a strong sense of duty, to the point of risking its own life in order to rescue an emperiled friend. The more riled up Mega Emboar is, the hotter the fire on its beard and spear burns, with the latter being able to reach temperatures of 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius).<ref name=ZAsite/> When Mega Emboar unleashes a punch with its enhanced muscles, this single-fist blow is strong enough to destroy half of a reinforced concrete building.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a/ja/pokemon/251106_02/ |『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A 公式サイト (Mega Emboar | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A" Official Website)]</ref>

==Trivia==
[[File:Emboar Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Emboar in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* In some games, the [[Pokédex]] states that Emboar can "throw a fire punch". However, this was first said in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Emboar was unable to learn the move {{m|Fire Punch}} until [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
** In the Japanese version of the Pokédex entries, the "fire punch" is written as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (in the kanji version, the equivalent is 「炎のパンチ」). Except for the addition of a space, this is almost the same as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (the Japanese name of Fire Punch). Similarly, the English Pokédex text mentions "fire punch" in lowercase, while moves like "Fire Punch" are written in {{wp|title case}} instead.
* Emboar appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Along with {{p|Victini}}, it is the only piece that has its power raised when damaged. Also, along with {{p|Zoroark}}, Emboar doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat among all fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Mega Emboar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 628.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on a boar. Additionally, [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style, specifically mentioning the character of {{wp|Zhang Fei}} from ''{{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}'' as Emboar's inspiration.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Zhang Fei was assassinated by his own subordinates, and had his head severed and presented for the opposing faction, which may be alluded to in Emboar's design, as its head is "separated" from its body by a wreath of fire. The wreath of fire also resembles a cape or a scarf. Emboar may also be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Serperior}}, Emboar, and {{p|Samurott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>

Appearance-wise, Emboar looks much like a {{wp|wild boar}} with elements of a {{wp|British Saddleback}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

Emboar's Fighting typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.

Mega Emboar seems to emphasize the aforementioned inspiration from Zhang Fei, who was said to own a "1.8 ''[[wp:Chi_(unit)|zhang]]'' long serpent spear", a weapon similar to the one Mega Emboar obtains upon Mega Evolving. Its loyalty to its allies, in tandem with its emotional outbursts and reckless behavior, may also allude to the character.

====Name origin====
Emboar may be a combination of ''ember'', ''emperor'', and ''boar''.

Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig), 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), ブー ''bū'' (oink), 王 ''ō'' (king), and possibly ''ember'' and ''boar''.

'''Incineroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガオガエン''' ''Gaogaen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Torracat}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Incineroar SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Incineroar for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Incineroar is a {{wp|humanoid}} {{wp|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler's tank top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and bursts from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches. Incineroar is an expert on no-holds-barred battles. The flames from its navel can reach a temperature of up to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and on-lookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks. Incineroar usually attacks first by unleashing ferocious punches and flinging furious kicks, and then it finishes the opponent by spewing fire from its navel. It is a violent Pokémon with rough, aggressive, and egotistical behavior. It will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Despite this, it finds fighting unworthy opponents boring and gets motivated to fight a challenging one. Weak or injured opponents also cause them to lose the desire to fight, which others sometimes use to their advantage.

It also values the attention of the crowd as Incineroar's spirit goes up while the crowd is excited or falters when the crowd is bored. When Incineroar's fighting spirit rises, so does the temperature around its navel waist. While it tends to act like a {{wp|heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, Incineroar is very happy internally when receiving the admiration of children or young Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170718173730/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/incineroar/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site (archived page) | Incineroar]</ref> It is also willing to help out children and small Pokémon, further showing its hidden soft side.

In [[Generation VII]], {{m|Darkest Lariat}} was its signature move.

Incineroar is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

===Evolution===
Incineroar evolves from {{p|Torracat}} and is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Litten Smitten Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Incineroar]]====
{{Ash}}'s Torracat evolved into an Incineroar in ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'' after defeating {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s own Incineroar during the [[Manalo Conference]] {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}.

====[[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]====
Incineroar made its animated series debut in ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', under the ownership of the {{an|Professor Kukui|Masked Royal}}, who uses it for [[Battle Royal]] competitions. It developed a rivalry with [[Ash's Litten]].

====Other====
Incineroar debuted in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Cross]]. It battled twice against Cross's former {{p|Charmeleon}}, which was now with {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}; Incineroar emerged victorious in the first battle, but lost in the rematch when Charmeleon evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}.

An Incineroar appeared in ''[[HZ093|Clash of the Nidothing Fans]]'', under the ownership of [[Litten Smitten]]. It battled against [[Liko's Meowscarada]], being evenly matched though the battle was interrupted by [[Ult]]'s arrival. It reappeared in the [[HZ094|next episode]] during a flashback.

===Minor appearances===
An Incineroar appeared in ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]'' at [[Marnya's house]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
{{main|Incineroar (Super Smash Bros.)}}

Incineroar debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a new fighter. Some of its moves that it uses include {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, {{m|Revenge}}, and {{m|Cross Chop}}, and an enhanced version of its [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}} named [[Final Smash#Max Malicious Moonsault|Max Malicious Moonsault]] as its [[Final Smash]]. It also has a move called 'Alolan Whip', which is not based on any preexisting move.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring {{p|Decidueye}}, Incineroar, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
* Incineroar is the only evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to have a lower [[base stats|base stat]] than its pre-evolved forms. Its base {{stat|Speed}} stat is 30 points lower than {{p|Torracat}}'s and 10 points lower than {{p|Litten}}'s.

===Origin===
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}. It also has traits of {{wp|domestic cat}}s. Its shiny form maybe based on a {{wp|white tiger}}.

Incineroar's hidden soft side in contrast to its outrageous behaviors could allude to maintaining [[wp:Kayfabe|kayfabe]], the fictional narrative within professional wrestling that says everything that happens in-and-around a match is real. Its desire to please the crowd above all else strengthens the idea that its behaviors are simply its [[wp:Gimmick_(professional_wrestling)|gimmick]].

====Name origin====
Incineroar is a combination of ''incinerate'' and ''roar''.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー ''gao'' (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame).

==Type==
I thought it was said somewhere that Tabunne was a Normal-type. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 15:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:Serebii says apparently, PokéBeach seems certain, blog says nothing is known about type. I guess it would be alright to put the type on, as it is still in the userspace. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:14, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Image==
Which one is Tabunne? Could you put it in the caption of the picture? [[User:Theviolinkid|Theviolinkid]] 18:55, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Theviolinkid
:Tabunne is the right opponent. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 19:28, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

==Origin==
Tabunne might be based off a goat. I know goats aren't bipedal, but it looks like a baby goat to me. If you look closely you see what appear to horns near its ears and a bell hanging on its right ear. I'm '''not''' saying put "Tabunne appears to be based off a goat", I'm just bringing up a point here. --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 03:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it's best to just wait till we can see a clearer image first

I can't see the goat resemblance [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:37, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

It kinda reminds me of a koala, particularly the coat pattern and ear and general body shape. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 06:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

== The moment we get official art ==

This is mainspaced. Try to find the official art. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

um....ok? isn't that how it usually works when we have all the info...is the art out or something? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:15, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

No, the art is not out. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo... Fear me, and my team made entirely of Mewtwo!!!]] 23:31, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
:Coro Coro leak gave us art of this and many others. Is it mainspacing time? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
::Like he said, the moment we get official art.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 06:45, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
:::We have official art (it just needs to be [[a:User talk:Maverick Nate#New Pokémon images 2|extracted]]). So that means mainspacing time. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:59, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hearing VS Healing ==

It's Pokedex entires suggest Hearing...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, ヒヤリング　(''hiyaringu'') refers to hearing, not to healing. I even found it in a dictionary. [[User:Erik10081989|Erik10081989]] 12:46, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

== Nurse/Doctor Origin ==

Clearly this Pokemon was based more on humans than a specific animal, similarly to the Happiny - Chancey - Blissey line, except it was inspired by a doctor or nurse using a stethoscope. I am going to re-add that to the page, and until someone finds a better origin (which I don't see happening any time soon), I believe it is a valid point and should be on the page. {{unsigned|CoolDudeAl}}

== Breeding Table ==

The chart says that Tabunne can learn moves by breeding via the Chansey family... how is that possible with an all-female species?
[[User:Falchiar|Falchiar]] ( [[User_talk:Falchiar|talk page]] ) 19:11, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Corrected. It is not obviously possible.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 19:16, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Audino vs Albino ==
Whenever I hear the name, I think of the color. It's not entirely albino, but its undersides are, and the two are spelled very similarly. Any thoughts?[[User:Yurtablemoron|Yurtablemoron]] 05:37, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:It looks nothing like that....[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 06:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Removed 'leporid' origin ==

I have no idea where leporid came from, as Audino definitely doesn't look like any of them. Buneary and Lopunny are examples of leporid-based pokemon, but since it doesn't look like it, I'm removing it. And facilitating discussion since the last one just got erased with no explanation. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 06:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Linking this for koala: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Friendly_Female_Koala.JPG Similarities were already noted above, but I'll repeat anyway: coat pattern, body shape, ear shape. All that's lacking are accessories: dangly things from the ears and the tail.

As for leporids, they have nothing visually in common besides maybe the tail. Sensitive ears are found all over the animal kingdom and are thus hardly exclusive, besides which their purpose for Audino is to aid it in nursing. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:43, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
* Audino is on practically every route. Rabbits are practically everywhere, Koalas are not. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 05:25, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
** ...what? That's stupid. Where a Pokemon is found has nothing to do with its basis. --[[User:Transfinite|Transfinite]] | [[User talk: Transfinite|Talk]] 13:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

== German name origin ==

I don't speak German much, but I think ''Ohrdoch'''s got something to do with [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/doch#German "doch"]. It seems to be somewhat similar to Japanese "tabun ne", but I'm not sure... Any thoughts? --[[User:Hohoo|Hohoo]] 17:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

== Name Origin... ==

''"I dunno."'' This has to be the most ridiculous name origin I have come across. Well I dunno where this could have come from. Does anyone else? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 07:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

All of its names are a play on words. Its Japanese name, as can be read in the article, is a play on 'tabun ne', meaning 'maybe'. Its English name is a play on 'I dunno'. All origins are words connected to doubt, and that's where 'I dunno' comes from. Not so ridiculous after reading the article, really. [[User:SpeedSuicune|SpeedSuicune]] 18:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

== Exp yielding ==

Whenever I play my Pokemon White, whenever I defeat an Audino, it's exp yielding varies. e.g when a level 39 Pokemon defeats a level 17 Audino it gives about 400-500 exp, but a Pokemon of lower level than 39 yields more than 800 exp. Does this happens to anyone else? [[User:Flygonfanno1|Flygonfanno1]] 11:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
:Starting in Generation V, the difference between the levels of the Pokémon affects the amount of experience gained. For a full explanation, see [[experience]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:42, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
::Thanks I just bought the game. [[User:Flygonfanno1|Flygonfanno1]]

== Secret Power Move. ==

Is not [[Audino]] the only pokemon that can learn [[Secret Power]] through level up? If yes, we should point that in trivia section.--[[User:Edzward|Edzward]] ([[User talk:Edzward|talk]]) 14:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

== Shuffle Sprite ==

Would someone be able to make a redirect for the file 'Shuffle531WinkingM' to 'Shuffle531M', like has been done with the sprites for Gengar and Sableye?
Currently the format does not display the sprite for Winking Mega Audino, as 'Shuffle531WinkingM' does not exist at the moment. {{unsigned|Hydrachomp}}

== Audino's Designer ==

Trivia: ''"Audino, along with its Mega Evolution, were designed by '''Megumi Mizutani'''."'' 
Origin: ''"Audino was designed by '''Ken Sugimori''' to be a new Pokémon for Nurse Joy to have in the anime, specifically in Unova and another cute Pokémon"''

So...did they both design It? I'm sorry for the dense observation but It's a bit unclear/confusing I think. –I'm with stupid → [[User:TrvpQveen|TrvpQveen]] 08:47, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I think it's fairly safe to say that Audino's wing-like ears are based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine caduceus]. [[User:Icycatelf|Icycatelf]] ([[User talk:Icycatelf|talk]]) 16:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
:That makes sense. I've gone ahead and added it. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 17:48, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

== Broken References ==

The first reference on this page links to a site that no longer exists - it redirects to the main pokemon.com website and its page on ORAS as a whole, not the Audino page. Would it be reasonable to change that link to point to an archived copy of the page from before it was converted to a redirect? (E.g. Wayback Machine or other archive options). [[User:Crystallineaurora|Crystallineaurora]] ([[User talk:Crystallineaurora|talk]]) 22:23, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

== Klutz relevance ==

I'm curious what people think about the possibility that having Klutz as a hidden ability is meant to be a reference to administering medicine (either the fact they are holding onto it to give to their partner, or a more morbid joke about medication errors). Considering the other connections it has to healthcare, I wanted to gauge if people think this connection makes sense. [[User:Violent Wind|Violent Wind]] ([[User talk:Violent Wind|talk]]) 14:42, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

:It's a cute thought but I'm not sure there's anything substantial enough to allude to that. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 14:39, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
::I figured as much, but I at least wanted to bring it up since I was thinking about why it would have Klutz as a support-oriented pokemon. maybe not substantial to include, but a cute thought. [[User:Violent Wind|Violent Wind]] ([[User talk:Violent Wind|talk]]) 14:14, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Violent Wind: /* Origin */ I added some detail about Audino's potential connection to the Moon Rabbit. Its predilection for acting as a caregiver, the general lunar connection seen in Fairy types, and the fact two of its abilities focus on healing itself or others were all factors in this.

'''Audino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タブンネ''' ''Tabunne'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Audino can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Audino''' using the [[Audinite]]. Mega Audino was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
[[File:AudinoObsidianFlames173.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Audino using its feelers to hear an [[Egg]]]]
Audino is a bipedal, pink-and-cream {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with oval, blue eyes. The top of its head, its back, and arms are pink, while the lower half of its face, body, ears are cream-colored, as well as its front and fingers. The patterning of pink and cream on its chest resembles a jacket. There are three digits on its hands and two on its feet. It has a puffy, white tuft for a tail. Audino has floppy ears with thin, curled extensions on the underside. It can use these ears as radars, and it has an incredible hearing ability.

The feelers on its ears act like {{wp|stethoscope}}s in that it can feel the beat of another Pokémon's heart, in order to assess the Pokémon's feelings and overall physical condition. The feelers are also able to determine when an {{pkmn|Egg}} is close to hatching. It has an incredible sense of hearing, where it can even hear a rolling pebble from a mile away. Audino is said to have a kind heart.

Audino is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Secret Power}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Audino can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Audino.

When Audino [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Audino, it becomes both heavier and taller. The patterning on its stomach, now completely cream, is covered by what resembles a flared lab coat. Most of its body becomes white with pink tips in four places, one on each ear and near the edges of its "coat". Its eyes turn pink and its ears stand upright with longer, curlier feelers. Its tail becomes larger and a smaller tuft of fur is centered on its chest. Two additional, curled feelers extend from under this extra tuft of fur. White fur covers its feet with two small tufts on the heels. Mega Audino can release pulses that reduce hostility, and the secondary feelers can put those who come in contact with them into a deep sleep.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150207094912/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-audino Mega Audino]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Audino is available in all patches of {{DL|Phenomenon|rustling grass}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Because of its availability and its high [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|Exp. yield]], battling wild Audino in {{DL|Phenomenon|Rustling grass|rustling grass}} is a fast way for Pokémon to gain [[experience]] in the [[Generation V]] games, as well as {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** As all the Trainers that look like a {{Tc|Furisode Girl}} in the [[Battle Chateau]] use only Audino, they can be used to perform this trick with greater effectiveness in {{g|X and Y}}.
{{bulbanews|Mega Audino and Slowbro revealed}}
* Mega Audino was first accidentally revealed on the official Korean Pokémon website on August 12, 2014, two days prior to its official release by [[Junichi Masuda]].
* Prior to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Audino was the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]] that was capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Audino is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 445.
** Audino is also the only Pokémon to lose the distinction of having a unique base stat total upon Mega Evolution.
* Mega Audino has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Audino is the only Pokémon with two unique [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yields]].
* Audino was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref name="Saya Tsuruta">[https://twitter.com/saya_tsuruta/status/1131920610995531776 Saya Tsuruta's Twitter account. Posted on May 24, 2019].</ref>
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Audino rewards 2,100 Stardust when caught under normal conditions. This is higher than any other Pokémon will give.

===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Audino was designed with {{aniseries|BW}} in mind, to replace [[Nurse Joy's Chansey]] in the [[Unova]] [[region]].<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

Audino seems to be partially based on {{wp|rabbit}}s, with features similar to a {{wp|physician}} or {{wp|nurse}}. The {{wp|stethoscope}}-like feelers on its ears also resemble a {{wp|cochlea}}, a part of the inner ear involved in hearing, or a {{wp|butterfly}}'s antennae, or {{wp|proboscis}}. The ears themselves resemble wings, which may reference the {{wp|caduceus as a symbol of medicine}} in the United States. The ears also resemble butterfly wings, especially in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form, making it similar to some depictions of a {{wp|fairy}}. Mega Audino could take some influence from {{wp|angel}}s, as well as {{wp|doctor}}s. Mega Audino may also have a resemblance to the {{wp|Lolita fashion|Sweet Lolita}} fashion style, having a flowing, white-and-pink "coat", "boots", and ears, or perhaps even the {{wp|Magical Girl}} subgenre seen in Japanese pop culture. Audino's rabbit-like traits and caregiver behavior may allude to the myth of [[wp:Moon_rabbit#East_Asian_folklore|the Moon Rabbit]] preparing the elixir of life, particularly its healing capabilities and Fairy typing in its Mega Evolved form.

====Name origin====
Audino may be derived from ''audio'' and a pun on the phrase "I dunno."

Tabunne may be derived from a pun of 多分ね ''tabun ne'' (maybe) or 多聞 ''tabun'' (hearing many things). It may also involve 耳朶 ''mimitabu'' (earlobe).

Greedent (Pokémon)

2026-03-06T15:28:58Z

Violent Wind: /* Origin */ Added some detail about the behavior of Greedent mirroring actual scatter-hoarding behaviors in squirrels, connecting its dopey personality with the phenomenon of squirrels forgetting where they cached their food.

'''Greedent''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨクバリス''' ''Yokubarisu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Skwovet}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:Pokécology Greedent.png|thumb|left|200px|Greedent gathers so many Berries in its tail that they spill over]]
Greedent is a bipedal, squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan and brown plump body, a buck tooth, orange nose, stumpy limbs, and a huge tail twice as long as its body. It has a darker brown area on its cheeks that can also be found on its chest, the underside of its tail, and the tips of its ears. Its fur is fluffy and messy. It also has orange freckles on its big cheeks and orange inside of its ears. Its eyes are a black oval-shape with white pupils, with a ring of light brown fur surrounding them.

True to its name, Greedent is extremely greedy and gluttonous. Greedent constantly gathers {{Berries}} and stuffs them into its tail; it will run to gather Berries even if it's in the middle of a battle. It stuffs its tail with so many Berries that they fall out constantly, especially when it is hit or [[Fainting|faints]]. It may also stash {{p|Bounsweet}} in its tail, as it considers the latter's sweet scent to be attractive. Dimwitted, Greedent will not often notice the loss of the food they store. Its sharp teeth are strong enough to gnaw through the strongest of Berry shells.

Greedent and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Skwovet}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stuff Cheeks}} by leveling up.

===Evolution===
Greedent evolves from {{p|Skwovet}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

{{main|Greedent (UNITE)}}
Greedent is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee defender that starts as Skwovet, which evolves into Greedent at level 5.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When Greedent is damaged in the games, a [[Leppa Berry]] falls out of its tail.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Greedent was unable to learn {{m|Trailblaze}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.

===Origin===
Greedent may be based on the {{wp|Red squirrel|Eurasian red squirrel}}, a species of squirrel that is endangered in {{wp|Great Britain}}. Their dimwitted nature compared to Skwovet may reference the fact that grey squirrels are more intelligent than red squirrels in real life. Its behavior of storing food in its tail and then forgetting about it may allude to the real-world behavior of [[wp:Hoarding_(animal_behavior)|hoarding]] in squirrels, which tend to result in lost caches of food after the squirrel forgets about them.

Greedent may be a combination of ''greed'' and ''rodent''.

Yokubarisu may be a combination of 欲張り ''yokubari'' (greed), 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel), and ''avarice'' (a synonym for greed).

'''Browt ''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハブロウ''' ''Haburou'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation X]].

Along with {{p|Pombon}} and {{p|Gecqua}}, Browt is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]. They were also the first Generation X Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2026, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
Browt is a small, avian Pokémon whose body is mostly covered in fluffy, yellow down. It has a large head with a prominent crest, and tiny wings. Its bottom half is entirely black, including its feet and claws; each feet has two toes on the front and one on the back. Browt's most distinguishing feature is the green leaves that form its eyebrows, which appear to grow from the top of its beak, which is also green.

Browt uses its eyebrow leaves to photosynthesize. It is energetic and lively, but also rather clumsy.<ref>[https://windswaves.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves | Announcement Trailer] — Pokemon.com</ref>


==Trivia==

===Origin===
Browt appears to be based on a bird chick and a sprout. It also seems to draw inspiration from the New Zealander bird {{wp|kākāpō}}. Given its {{pkmn|category}}, it may be a visual pun on the {{wp|chickpea}}, a type of legume (bean), and [[wp:Peafowl|peafowl]].

====Name origin====
Browt may be a combination of ''eyebrow'' and ''bean sprout'', and possibly ''brute'' (referencing its angry-looking expression).

Haburou may be a combination of 葉 ''ha'' (leaf) and ''eyebrow''.

'''Pombon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポムケン''' ''Pomuken'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation X]].

Along with {{p|Browt}} and {{p|Gecqua}}, Pombon is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]. They were also the first Generation X Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2026, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
Pombon is a short canine Pokémon with a large head, short limbs, and a curly tail. Its body is covered in fluffy fur that is almost entirely orange. Some parts of its fur that aren't orange include the yellow on the tip of its snout and the red on the tuft of fur on its head, as well as red on its chest, below its throat. Inside Pombon's lungs is an organ that generates heat, which causes the red area on its chest to glow slightly.<ref name=WWsite/> Pombon also has a red nose and red paw pads which resemble the symbol for fire (火).

Pombon is described to have an innocent, friendly temperament.<ref name=WWsite>[https://windswaves.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves | Announcement Trailer] — Pokemon.com</ref>


==Trivia==
* Pombon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Rockruff}}, {{p|Yamper}}, and {{p|Fidough}}. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Pombon may be based on the {{wp|Pomeranian dog}} breed.

====Name origin====
Pombon may be a combination of ''Pomeranian'' and ''bonfire''. It may also involve ''pom-pom''.

Pomuken may be a combination of ''Pomeranian'', 炎 ''homura'' (flame), and 犬 ''ken'' (dog).

'''Staraptor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ムクホーク''' ''Mukuhawk'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Staravia}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Starly}}.

Staraptor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Staraptor''' using the [[Staraptite]]. Mega Staraptor was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Staraptor is a grayish-brown, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a large bird of prey. It has small, red eyes and a thin, yellow beak with a black tip. There is a circular white patch on its forehead, which is smaller on the female. Larger white markings cover the front of its throat and chest, separated by a black ruff encircling the shoulders. A red-tipped black crest extends over its head, nearly reaching the tip of its beak. Staraptor is fussy about the shape of this comb, which it uses to appear larger and frighten enemies. It has large wings, five black-tipped tail feathers, and yellow feet with black talons.

Upon Evolution, this Pokémon leaves its flock to live alone, as it has become strong enough to take care of itself. It can be highly aggressive, persistently attacking even larger foes in spite of illness or injury. Its powerful wing and leg muscles allow it to fly effortlessly while carrying other Pokémon, small or large.

===Forms===
Staraptor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Staraptor.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Staraptor is much bulkier and has a prehistoric aspect to it. Its previous grayish-brown plumage has turned into a light gray color, featuring several golden semilunar markings on the wings and tail feathers, which have grown to resemble a cape. Its red-tipped crest, now light gray as well, extends longer, almost covering its right eye, and is further adorned by three upward-pointing feathers at the base. The white plumage on Mega Staraptor's chest is puffier, resembling a feather in appearance, and the feathers composing Mega Staraptor's ruff end in red tips, except in the front. There is a small cowlick on its throat plumage. Its upper beak has a black marking, its sclerae are black, and its talons have grown larger and sharper.

Mega Staraptor is regarded as an excellent flier. Its strength has increased to the extent that it can effortlessly carry a {{p|Steelix}}, which weighs 881.8 lbs (400 kilograms), while maneuvering through the skies.

==Trivia==
* Staraptor and {{p|Staravia}} were given their English names by [[Nob Ogasawara]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1385988744528896000 Tweet by Nob Ogasawara (@DougDinsdale).] Posted on April 24, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGE3D7kcswY Interview] with Nob Ogasawara by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref>
* Staraptor is the only Pokémon whose primary type changes when Mega Evolving, changing from {{type|Normal}} to {{type|Fighting}}.

===Origin===
Staraptor is based on the {{wp|white-cheeked starling}}, a common species of bird found throughout Asia, combined with a {{wp|bird of prey}}. Although it largely resembles the starling in appearance, much of its inspiration comes from {{wp|hawk}}s and {{wp|falcon}}s, particularly its predatory nature and aerial speed. It also has strong similarities to the {{wp|harpy eagle}}. The feathers hanging over its face are similar to the {{wp|long-crested eagle}}. Its overall design could be a pun on the phrase ''[[wp:Sparrowhawk|sparrowhawk]],'' a common name for medium-sized raptors that specialize in hunting small birds.

Mega Staraptor's enormous size and strength could be a reference to the [[wp:Roc_(mythology)|roc]], a legendary gigantic bird known to prey on giant serpents and other large animals. Its ability to easily carry [[Steelix (Pokémon)|Steelix]] could refer to these habits.

====Name origin====
Staraptor is a combination of ''{{wp|starling}}'' and ''{{wp|bird of prey|raptor}}'' (a predatory bird).

Mukuhawk is a combination of 椋鳥 ''mukudori'' (gray starling) and ''{{wp|hawk}}''.

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at [[level]] 43.

Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Golurk''' using the [[Golurkite]]. Mega Golurk was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Golurk is a bipedal automaton {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a suit of armor. It is mainly teal in color with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. It has a small head compared to its body, and pale yellow eyes, one of which turns to its left at the bottom, unlike {{p|Golett}}'s eye, which turns right. There is a crack across the chest of the armor, which is patched diagonally with a brown seal resembling a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on each shoulder, and there are large bangles on its wrists and ankles. It has a Roman armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. There is an unproven theory that Golurk contains a {{wp|perpetual motion machine}} that creates a limitless amount of energy.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of flying by retracting its hands and legs and feet before using its arms and "skirt" like rocket thrusters to fly at Mach speeds. As seen in several midias, it is also capable of forming a cannon by restracting its hands and legs and standing on its arms, using its "skirt" to fire energy attacks. If the seal on its chest is removed, its energy runs wild, as depicted in the animated series, its energy's color turns from yellow to red. This causes it to go on a rampage and fly around uncontrollably, unable to land. A rampaging Golurk can turn a whole town into a mountain of rubble.

Golurk is said to have been invented by ancient people to serve as a laborer and protector of people and Pokémon, and is [[:File:GolurkVEvolvingSkies182.jpg|sometimes used in construction projects]]. It also served as sentries on artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles, where it could fire energy beams. Golurk will faithfully follow its master's orders without question.

===Forms===
Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Golurk.
[[File:Mega Golurk Rocket Punch.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Mega Golurk launching its fists like rockets]]
As a result of Mega Evolution, the energy within Mega Golurk has been unleashed, enveloping it in a vibrant yellow glow. The energy wraps around its torso in an "X" shape, but does not meet in its back, and surrounds the joints between its shoulders and torso, puffing outwards into a wing-like flame that burns purple at the tip. It also comes out from the bangles around its wrists and ankles, causing them to expand, and from its left eye in the shape of an "L". Mega Golurk is capable of firing its own fists like rockets from the energy in its wrist bangles. The swirls on its shoulders and hands, as well as its right eye, have lost their glow. Mega Golurk's seal now hangs down uselessly in its chest, only held in place by one of the screws.

Mega Golurk's internal energy has been stimulated by Mega Evolution, causing its seal to no longer be able to keep it inside. Since the seal was installed to prevent the energy from running wild, Mega Golurk exists in a constant state of near-instant detonation.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Golurk]]=====
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Golurk was a guardian of the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]]. After it hatched from an ancient egg, it engaged in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] with Ash, [[Goh]], {{OBP|Kira|JN014}}, and the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}. Once Golurk was defeated, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

=====Other=====
In [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], [[Juanita]]'s Golurk acts as her assistant and partner at her souvenir shop. It is also {{Shiny}} in the latter movie.

In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', a Golurk was an {{a|illusion}} in a movie directed by [[Luke]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', [[Ridley]] used a Golurk to fly with him, and it was also used to defend {{an|Meloetta}} from {{TRT}}. It was also used to battle two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s' {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Rhydon}}. After that, it battled the {{an|forces of nature}} in their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Formes}}.

They were eventually freed when {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Reshiram}} destroyed Colress's mind-control device.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', [[Rodney]] used a Golurk during the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]]. Golurk made it through to the final round and faced off against {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pignite}}, but it ended up losing against them.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu]]'s Golurk was first seen assisting her in a Poni Island radish field. It attacked Ash when Hapu believed he was the one who had been stealing radishes from the field, and defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} in battle. Golurk has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}. Hapu commonly uses Golurk to fly around [[Poni Island]].

====Minor appearances====

==Trivia==
* According to Game Freak, Golurk and its pre-evolved form were both created by [[James Turner]].<ref>GAME FREAK: [http://web.archive.org/web/20130115083652/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=204 「ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト」のつくりかた　4] (archive)</ref><ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry refers to Golurk as a male, despite Golurk being gender unknown.
* While Golurk has a 5% chance of holding the [[Light Clay]] in the wild, it cannot learn {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Aurora Veil}} and did not learn {{m|Reflect}} until [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Golurk and its pre-evolved form are based on {{wp|golem}}s.<ref name=ND205/> The crack and strap on its chest may be a reference to the golem in the Jewish story ''{{wp|Golem#The classic narrative: The Golem of Prague|The Golem of Prague}}'': where it was controlled by a ''shem'', a religious parchment, but went berserk as the ''shem'' was removed—referenced in Mega Golurk's broken seal and the ghostly energy billowing from within. The Golem of Prague was also believed to be able to summon the spirits of the dead, likely the reasoning for Golurk's {{t|Ghost}} type. Golurk and Golett's presence in Unova, being based on creatures from Jewish folklore, may also be inspired by the fact that New York City has the highest Jewish population of any city in the world.

Considering its body structure and ability to transform into a cannon and fly, Golurk may also be inspired by giant robots seen in {{wp|mecha anime and manga}}. Golurk also has elements resembling a {{wp|gladiator}}, such as a skirt and shoulder pads. Given its greenish color and the fact that [[Unova]] is based on the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}, Golurk may also be partially inspired by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. Being the soldiers of an ancient civilization, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Terracotta Army}}, a collection of thousands of clay statues in China built circa 210 BCE to protect the first {{wp|Emperor of China}}, {{wp|Qin Shi Huang}}.

Mega Golurk, with its malfunctioning core at constant risk of exploding, may allude to the idea of [[wp:Critical_mass|critical mass]]. This also aligns with its connection to media featuring giant robots, many of which rely on nuclear energy or something equally unstable as a power source.

====Name origin====
Golurk may be a combination of ''golem'' and ''lurk'' (referring to its Ghost type).

Goloog may be a combination of ''golem'' and サイボーグ ''saibōgu'' (cyborg).

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at [[level]] 43.

Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Golurk''' using the [[Golurkite]]. Mega Golurk was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Golurk is a bipedal automaton {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a suit of armor. It is mainly teal in color with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. It has a small head compared to its body, and pale yellow eyes, one of which turns to its left at the bottom, unlike {{p|Golett}}'s eye, which turns right. There is a crack across the chest of the armor, which is patched diagonally with a brown seal resembling a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on each shoulder, and there are large bangles on its wrists and ankles. It has a Roman armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. There is an unproven theory that Golurk contains a {{wp|perpetual motion machine}} that creates a limitless amount of energy.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of flying by retracting its hands and legs and feet before using its arms and "skirt" like rocket thrusters to fly at Mach speeds. As seen in several midias, it is also capable of forming a cannon by restracting its hands and legs and standing on its arms, using its "skirt" to fire energy attacks. If the seal on its chest is removed, its energy runs wild, as depicted in the animated series, its energy's color turns from yellow to red. This causes it to go on a rampage and fly around uncontrollably, unable to land. A rampaging Golurk can turn a whole town into a mountain of rubble.

Golurk is said to have been invented by ancient people to serve as a laborer and protector of people and Pokémon, and is [[:File:GolurkVEvolvingSkies182.jpg|sometimes used in construction projects]]. It also served as sentries on artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles, where it could fire energy beams. Golurk will faithfully follow its master's orders without question.

===Forms===
Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Golurk.
[[File:Mega Golurk Rocket Punch.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Mega Golurk launching its fists like rockets]]
As a result of Mega Evolution, the energy within Mega Golurk has been unleashed, enveloping it in a vibrant yellow glow. The energy wraps around its torso in an "X" shape, but does not meet in its back, and surrounds the joints between its shoulders and torso, puffing outwards into a wing-like flame that burns purple at the tip. It also comes out from the bangles around its wrists and ankles, causing them to expand, and from its left eye in the shape of an "L". Mega Golurk is capable of firing its own fists like rockets from the energy in its wrist bangles. The swirls on its shoulders and hands, as well as its right eye, have lost their glow. Mega Golurk's seal now hangs down uselessly in its chest, only held in place by one of the screws.

Mega Golurk's internal energy has been stimulated by Mega Evolution, causing its seal to no longer be able to keep it inside. Since the seal was installed to prevent the energy from running wild, Mega Golurk exists in a constant state of near-instant detonation.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Golurk]]=====
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Golurk was a guardian of the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]]. After it hatched from an ancient egg, it engaged in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] with Ash, [[Goh]], {{OBP|Kira|JN014}}, and the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}. Once Golurk was defeated, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

=====Other=====
In [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], [[Juanita]]'s Golurk acts as her assistant and partner at her souvenir shop. It is also {{Shiny}} in the latter movie.

In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', a Golurk was an {{a|illusion}} in a movie directed by [[Luke]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', [[Ridley]] used a Golurk to fly with him, and it was also used to defend {{an|Meloetta}} from {{TRT}}. It was also used to battle two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s' {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Rhydon}}. After that, it battled the {{an|forces of nature}} in their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Formes}}.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', [[Cedric Juniper's assistants]] used multiple Golurk at the {{an|White Ruins}}, but they were later turned against their owners by [[Colress]]. They were eventually freed when {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Reshiram}} destroyed Colress's mind-control device.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', [[Rodney]] used a Golurk during the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]]. Golurk made it through to the final round and faced off against {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pignite}}, but it ended up losing against them.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu]]'s Golurk was first seen assisting her in a Poni Island radish field. It attacked Ash when Hapu believed he was the one who had been stealing radishes from the field, and defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} in battle. Golurk has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}. Hapu commonly uses Golurk to fly around [[Poni Island]].

====Minor appearances====

==Trivia==
* According to Game Freak, Golurk and its pre-evolved form were both created by [[James Turner]].<ref>GAME FREAK: [http://web.archive.org/web/20130115083652/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=204 「ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト」のつくりかた　4] (archive)</ref><ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry refers to Golurk as a male, despite Golurk being gender unknown.
* While Golurk has a 5% chance of holding the [[Light Clay]] in the wild, it cannot learn {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Aurora Veil}} and did not learn {{m|Reflect}} until [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Golurk and its pre-evolved form are based on {{wp|golem}}s.<ref name=ND205/> The crack and strap on its chest may be a reference to the golem in the Jewish story ''{{wp|Golem#The classic narrative: The Golem of Prague|The Golem of Prague}}'': where it was controlled by a ''shem'', a religious parchment, but went berserk as the ''shem'' was removed—referenced in Mega Golurk's broken seal and the ghostly energy billowing from within. The Golem of Prague was also believed to be able to summon the spirits of the dead, likely the reasoning for Golurk's {{t|Ghost}} type. Golurk and Golett's presence in Unova, being based on creatures from Jewish folklore, may also be inspired by the fact that New York City has the highest Jewish population of any city in the world.

Considering its body structure and ability to transform into a cannon and fly, Golurk may also be inspired by giant robots seen in {{wp|mecha anime and manga}}. Golurk also has elements resembling a {{wp|gladiator}}, such as a skirt and shoulder pads. Given its greenish color and the fact that [[Unova]] is based on the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}, Golurk may also be partially inspired by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. Being the soldiers of an ancient civilization, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Terracotta Army}}, a collection of thousands of clay statues in China built circa 210 BCE to protect the first {{wp|Emperor of China}}, {{wp|Qin Shi Huang}}.

Mega Golurk,with its malfunctioning core at constant risk of exploding, may allude to the idea of [[wp:Critical_mass|critical mass]]. This also aligns with its connection to media featuring giant robots, many of which rely on nuclear energy or something equally unstable as a power source.

====Name origin====
Golurk may be a combination of ''golem'' and ''lurk'' (referring to its Ghost type).

Goloog may be a combination of ''golem'' and サイボーグ ''saibōgu'' (cyborg).

'''Miriam''' (Japanese: '''ミモザ''' ''Mimosa'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. She serves as the school nurse of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Section for information regarding their appearance and interactions as a Special Coach at the [[Blueberry Academy]] [[League Club Room]]}}
According to {{tc|Model}} Naiara at [[South Paldean Sea]], she and Miriam used to work at a [[Pokémon Center]], though they have since drifted apart. After some time, Miriam became the nurse of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} after failing to qualify as a health instructor. After the {{player}} started their Treasure Hunt and relayed their experiences to Miriam, she gradually became inspired to attempt the certification test again and, this time, managed to get herself a teacher's job for the next school year. Miriam later participated in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]].

Miriam and [[Dendra]] seem to be close to each other, stating that Dendra would always come visiting the Nurse's Office for an injury or whatnot.

===Pokémon===
Miriam will {{Tera}}stallize her {{p|Toxapex}} at the first opportunity.

Miriam debuted in the {{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}. She was first seen asking [[Clavell]] about some bedsheets that were taken from the nurse's office while she was away. Upon discovering that {{Violet}} was the culprit and using the sheets as a cape, Miriam quickly took them back.

==In the TCG==
[[File:MiriamScarletViolet251.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Miriam]]
{{main|Miriam (Scarlet & Violet 179)}}
'''Miriam''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[Akira Komayama]] were released in the same sets. It allows the player to shuffle up to five Pokémon from their discard pile back into their deck, and then draw three cards.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* All of Miriam's Pokémon may allude to specific types of medicine and healing: Hypno may allude to {{wp|hypnotherapy}} and sleeping well, Pincurchin may allude to {{wp|acupuncture}} and possibly {{wp|electroconvulsive therapy|shock therapy}}, Sawsbuck and Meganium may allude to {{wp|aromatherapy}} and medicinal herbs, Glalie may allude to {{wp|cryotherapy}} and possibly cold compresses such as an {{wp|ice pack}}, Eelektross may allude to either {{wp|defibrillation}} or {{wp|leeching (medical)|leeching}}, and Toxapex may allude to acupuncture once again, as well as the use of [[wp:Tetrodotoxin#Modern_therapeutic_research|tetrodotoxin]] (a potent neurotoxin found in many marine species, including starfish) in medicine.
** Hypno's {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}} [[Pokédex]] entry mentions how the Pokémon is sometimes used in hospitals to assist doctors with patients that are unable to sleep at night, relating to Miriam's profession in the medical field as a nurse.
** With Sawsbuck and Meganium's possible relations to the idea of aromatherapy, there is a move by the same name, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, which cures the user, all Pokémon in the party, and all allies of any status conditions, relating back to the medical theme of Miriam's party. Fittingly, prior to [[Generation IX]], this move could be learned by both Sawsbuck and Meganium.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Darkrai''' using the [[Darkranite]]. Mega Darkrai was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007. It and {{p|Cresselia}} are often collectively referred to as the [[lunar duo]] by fans, and it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. Darkrai plays a central role in [[Mega Dimension]], serving as one of the key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Darkrai legs.png|thumb|left|250px|Darkrai's extendable legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. Darkrai generally stays afloat in the air and does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages similar to legs and stand on the ground. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

Darkrai is known for its association with nightmares. It is capable of afflicting people and Pokémon with horrific nightmares to drive them away from itself. It can even unleash unending nightmares, which can only be cured by Darkrai's counterpart: the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Cresselia}} or one of its [[Lunar Feather]]s. However, in reality, its nightmare powers are actually an instinctive defense mechanism instead of a conscious malicious act. It can fly at high speeds. It can also become a shadow in order to hide and remain isolated. It can inflict {{m|Dark Void|drowsiness through total darkness}}. Darkrai is only active during nights of the new moon. It was shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] through dreams. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' movie, however, It can speak through telepathy. Darkrai resides on [[Newmoon Island]].

The relationship between Darkrai and its counterpart, Cresselia, can vary between different individuals and [[canon]]s. Some are antagonistic, as seen in ''[[DP101|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], or cooperative, as seen in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]''. As seen in ''Sleepless In Pre-Battle!'', Darkrai can be attracted to nightmares. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai can use an ability called "Dark Power", in which it opens a large black portal on the ground to either trap people and Pokémon in a world of total darkness, referred to as "Dark Void", or teleport them somewhere else.

Absorbing tons of [[Mega Power]], Darkrai's ability to afflict nightmares can be enhanced, losing control of it in the process. This creates a mélange of subconcious thoughts, including memories, from people and Pokémon, as demonstrated with [[Hyperspace]]. Such effects however, can cause pain to Darkrai and even force it to undergo [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Darkrai has attempted to use Dark Void while it is asleep. It is theorized that Darkrai performs this move because it cannot contain its overflowing power. Darkrai can be lured through a combination of Event Drowsy Power and Cresselia. The Eureka Seed can bring out the full power of Darkrai. Darkrai has been observed slumbering during the day of New Moon.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning and using the move {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Bad Dreams}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
{{spoilers}}
Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Darkrai.
[[File:Mega Darkrai Hidden Eye.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Darkrai's hidden eye]]
When Mega-Evolved, Darkrai's entire body doubles in length and becomes almost five times heavier. Its upper body grows larger and more spherical, while its arms transform into long tentacles that gyrate. Six similar, wispy, swirling tatters protrude from it: five extend from the back, and one appears on the chest. From the longer, tattered skirt, two long, swirling legs emerge. Darkrai's ghostly plume lengthens, becoming pointier, with two locks on each side. The left eye is obscured by this "hair", revealing the right eye, which has an eerie hot pink hue. The previously red growth around its neck has turned black and now features eight new triangular shapes—three small triangles on two parallel sides and one large triangle on the opposite sides. In between these shapes, eight thin, white, vein-like lines appear. Darkrai can now open and close the neck growth when it retracts its head. When exposed, the growth appears dark gray and glows in shades from magenta to dark red as the head is retracted. Mega Darkrai hovers horizontally with its head pointing forward. From this angle, the new appendages, triangles, and lines resemble a vile eye with twisting spikes. When the head disappears, Mega Darkrai's neck reveals a white pupil and blue iris, which, combined with the magenta color change, creates an unsettling resemblance to a demonic eye.

Thanks to Mega Evolution, Darkrai's nightmare powers have significantly increased to the point where it can block out the Sun and cast the entire area into total darkness. This allows it to seamlessly blend into its surroundings and disappear into the shadows. It is said that no one can escape the gaze of Mega Darkrai's large, menacing eye, which it can use for attacks. Mega Darkrai can create copies of itself to surround foes before attacking them with dark energy.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]] and {{p|Dialga}}'s corruption into [[Primal Dialga]] in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark. When the Dark Vortex threatens to destroy both [[dimension]]s, Darkrai sacrifices himself to stop it, but is later brought back by {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} during the post-game.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Darkrai is the final boss, summoned by [[Blake Hall]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]: [[Mega Dimension]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist and the final boss of the DLC. About 6 months before the events of the game, Darkrai wandered into [[Lumiose City|Lumiose]] and settled on top of [[Prism Tower]] to stay away from everyone down below. As a result, however, it got exposed to all the [[Mega Power]] leaking from [[Ange]], causing its nightmare powers to be enhanced and go out of control. This created a [[dimension]] composed of the subconcious thoughts and memories of the people and Pokémon of Lumiose, which came to be known as [[Hyperspace]].

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Darkrai (M10)]]=====
Darkrai debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the [[Space-Time Towers]] music player to calm the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Darkrai (recurring)====
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', where it was a target of [[Matori]] and the [[Matori Matrix]], along with {{OBP|Cresselia|recurring}}.

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, and its Ability is {{a|Bad Dreams}}.

=====Other=====
Darkrai made its animated series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in ''The Rise of Darkrai'', this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by {{TRT}}'s machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] using only Darkrai. In the [[Sinnoh League]] semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and {{TP|James|Inkay}} visited a Darkrai courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', a Darkrai was the source of {{AP|Pikachu}}, Meowth, and [[Squishy]]'s nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends.

====Minor appearances====
A Darkrai appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP104|Darkrai|Dawn's Pokédex|Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokémon. Legend has it that on a moonless night, Darkrai will {{m|Dark Void|lure people to sleep}} and {{a|Bad Dreams|unleash nightmares}} upon them.}}

In ''[[PS302|Phew for Mew]]'', [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in an attempt to recapture {{adv|Deoxys}}. When {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attack collided with the beam, it caused {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} to turn to stone. In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', the beam was revealed to have been Darkrai. In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', Sird was revealed to have {{pkmn2|released}} it into the [[Distortion World]], where it clashed with [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} and was briefly controlled by [[Charon]]. After escaping from {{p|Giratina}}'s realm, it left to parts unknown.

In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep. ''

'''PAl''': ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.''

==Trivia==
* Darkrai's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 2 {{stat|Special Attack}} and 1 {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in both {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the {{player}} cures him of his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, as well as {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Darkrai is the only non-{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon capable of traveling through walls and all other terrain types without the All-Terrain Hiker [[IQ#IQ Sill|IQ skill]].
* Despite being a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, the {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky is referred to as a [[Gender|male]].
* Mega Darkrai is tied with Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for having the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Dread Plate]].

===Origin===
Darkrai appears to be the personification of {{wp|nightmare}}s, bearing resemblance to folklore creatures such as the {{wp|mare (folklore)|mare}} and other {{wp|night hag}}s. Similarly, some types of {{wp|jinn}}s are also associated with nightmares and {{wp|sleep paralysis}}. It may also draw some inspiration from sleep deities and/or personifications, such as {{wp|Morpheus}}.

Darkrai's appearance is that of a {{wp|ghost}}ly {{wp|shadow person|shadow}}, likely inspired by some popular descriptions of {{wp|bogeyman}} as a dark and formless figure. It may also be inspired by common hallucinations of shadowy figures during sleep paralysis episodes. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai also appears to represent the {{wp|new moon}}.

Darkrai shares some similarities with the {{wp|nocnitsa}} from Slavic folklore, a type of evil spirit that often torments children with nightmares, gradually draining their life energy. Its physical appearance has many distinct depictions, some of which strongly resemble Darkrai—the most notable ones being: disheveled white hair, a body made out of shadows, and the absence of legs. Furthermore, in some regions it's said the nocnitsa can be stopped if one possesses a knife or a stone with a hole, similar to how a [[Lunar Feather]] can dispel Darkrai's nightmares.

Given its fabric-like texture in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and long and stilt-like legs, Darkrai appears to be inspired by a {{wp|scarecrow}}, forming a contrast to {{p|Cresselia}}'s bird-like design.

The black markings around its eyes could be seen to resemble eyebags, which could be caused by a lack of sleep resulting from nightmares.

Mega Darkrai seems to take inspiration from a [[wp:Beholder_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)|beholder]], a fantasy creature commonly depicted as a floating sphere with a big eyeball and tendrils that may contain other, smaller eyes. Given its powers over darkness that can cover the sun, it might also be based on a [[wp:Solar_eclipse|solar eclipse]]. It is also probably inspired by {{wp|Amatsu-Mikaboshi}}, the evil god of stars in Japanese mythology, whose name means "August Star of Heaven" or "Dread Star of Heaven", which explained its resemblance to a giant star. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a [[wp:Human_eye|human eye]], with the main body as the eye itself, the tendrils [[wp:Conjunctiva|blood vessels of the conjunctiva]], and the legs the [[wp:Optic_nerve|optic nerve]].

====Name origin====
Darkrai may be a combination of ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark).

Archaludon (Pokémon)

Violent Wind: /* Origin */ Included a detail about Archaludon possibly being based on an anti-kaiju weapon (600 base stat total can be seen as rivaling pseudo-legendaries, in this analogy the kaiju)

'''Archaludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリジュラス''' ''Briduras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Duraludon}} when exposed to a [[Metal Alloy]].

==Biology==
Archaludon is a tall, metallic, bipedal dinosaur-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an angular, cuboid body bent at its chest and hips. Its body is primarily cool gray, although it has dark blue colorations on its palms and soles, as well as dark blue platings on its face and underside. The underside plating has criss-crossing patterns on the torso, and two red stripes at the bottom, with three small notches on each of them. This plating extends past Archaludon's head at the sides, forming horn-like features tipped with red. There is a continuous protrusion running the length of Archaludon's spine, three pairs of zigzag patterns on its sides, and spikes on the back of its head and the tip of its large tail.

Archaludon's head is small compared to its body and is sunken into its neck. The plating on its face is T-shaped with a few indents on the sides, and folds down the middle to partially cover its yellow eyes. Its mouth, shaped into a permanent scowl, opens at the upper jaw and contains a grooved copper-colored tube, which it uses to fire beams to attack. When it closes its mouth, the tube is concealed and resembles teeth.

Archaludon's hands and feet are large and V-shaped, each of which are connected to cuboid forelimbs and have two rectangular digits. On these hands and feet, Archaludon has tall, retractable spires near the joints, with the spires on its feet usually retracted. These spires contain pointed, yellow terminals at their tips, which gather and store static electricity, as Archaludon is incapable of producing electricity on its own.<ref name=SVsite/> Similar terminal pairs are found on the spikes on Archaludon's head and tail.

When Archaludon faces danger, it will get down on all fours, straighten its body, retract its limbs, and fully extend the spires on its hands and feet, forming a shape that resembles a steel bridge. This position allows for less mobility but offers Archaludon a sturdier center of gravity. In this position, Archaludon is capable of using the static electricity stored in its terminals to fire a [[Electro Shot (move)|powerful beam of electric energy]].<ref name=SVsite/> When Archaludon charges up to fire this beam, electrical energy connects the terminals on its head, tail, and limbs, in a similar fashion to bridge suspension cables. During storms and other inclement weather, Archaludon's terminals can gather static electricity more easily, allowing it to fire off its beam much faster.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/archaludon/ Archaludon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Archaludon's defensive capabilities are so strong that it cannot be fazed by a cave-in.

==Trivia==
* Archaludon was revealed during the [[Pokémon Presents]] that aired on August 8th, 2023.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QiLe4pTHAE Pokémon Presents | 8.8.2023]" The Official Pokémon YouTube channel. ''YouTube''.</ref>
* Archaludon is the only {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600}} that is not a {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, {{pkmn2|Mythical}}, [[Mega Evolution]], or [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Archaludon appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|cable-stayed bridge}}s and {{wp|folding bridge}}s. Its legs resemble the Iberian {{wp|Guadiana International Bridge}}, while the X patterns might be a reference to the Portuguese {{wp|25 de Abril Bridge}}. Its theming of a literal dragon bridge, as well as its coloration, could take inspiration from the Puente del Dragón, a popular {{wp|Seville|Sevillian}} monument from {{wp|Alcalá de Guadaíra}}, with Archaludon's back when standing on two legs loosely resembling the snake-like mouth of the dragon sculpture. The bent body resembles a staple remover. Additionally, its ability to {{m|Electro Shot|charge and fire blasts of electricity}} may be inspired by {{wp|railguns}}. It may be a play on words of {{wp|Archosaur}} (a clade of animals that includes non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodilians, and birds) and {{wp|arch bridge}}. Since it was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], it might also pull from the fact that [[Unova]], where [[Blueberry Academy]] is located, stands out for its numerous bridges. Its line's rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}}, along with its base stat total of 600, may allude to artificial creatures manufactured to defeat the monsters in {{wp|kaiju}} films.

====Name origin====
Archaludon may be a combination of ''arch'' (meaning principal or superlative, as well as referring to {{wp|arch bridge|a type of bridge}}), ''{{p|Duraludon}}'', and possibly ''{{wp|Archosaur}}''.

Briduras may be derived from ''bridge'', ジュラルドン ''Duraludon'', and ソーラス ''-saurus'' (Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).

==Trivia==
* In {{v|Black and White|s}}, Watchog was the only Pokémon to have the same {{EV}} yield as its {{p|Patrat|pre-evolution}}, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving one EV in Attack.
** Because its EV yield was 2 Attack in {{v|Black and White|s 2}}, Watchog is the only Pokémon to have its EV yield changed within a [[generation]].
* Watchog is the only evolved Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 255.
* Despite its Pokédex entries from Black, Y and Alpha Sapphire stating Watchog spits the seeds of berries stored in their cheek pouches, Watchog couldn't learn {{m|Bullet Seed}} until {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

===Origin===
Watchog's name suggests that it is based on a {{wp|groundhog}}, although, like its pre-evolution, it also resembles a {{wp|chipmunk}}, {{wp|meerkat}} or {{wp|prairie dog}}. Its design is possibly based on a road worker, with the body resembling a {{wp|personal protective equipment|protective suit}} and the yellow stripes forming a {{wp|High-visibility clothing|safety vest}}. Its penchant for moves that interrupt the standard flow of battle could allude to {{wp|traffic guard|traffic guards}} and their ability to override {{wp|Traffic#Rules_of_the_road|the rules of the road}}.

====Name origin====
Watchog may be a combination of ''watch'' and ''groundhog'', as well as a play on {{wp|guard dog|watchdog}}.

Miruhog may be a combination of 見る ''miru'' (to observe) and ''groundhog''.

'''Munkidori''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マシマシラ''' ''Mashimashira'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Teal Mask]].

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

It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}. Along with {{p|Okidogi}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}, it is a member of the [[Loyal Three]].

==Biology==
Munkidori is a blue simian Pokémon with long black fur covering most of its body, except for its face, hands, feet, and part of its chest, the latter forming an arrowhead pattern. Its face has yellow eyes with black striped markings between them, and they have magenta colorations on its rear and ankles. Each of its hands has three fingers, and its feet resemble sandals, each with two toes. Part of its head hair is slicked back, and a magenta chain encircles its head like a headband. Munkidori is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

{{Spoilers}}
In [[Kitakami]] myth, it is said that Munkidori was once a clumsy, dim-witted Pokémon, but a longing for cleverness somehow led it to the {{a|Toxic Chain}} around its head. Munkidori transformed as the chain enhanced its capabilities, stimulating its brain and causing its {{t|Psychic}} powers to bloom. It prefers to keep itself somewhere safe while toying with its enemies, using its psychic powers to induce intense dizziness. It traveled from a distant land with {{p|Okidogi}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}} to steal {{p|Ogerpon}}'s masks and claim them for themselves, the trio sneaked into Ogerpon's cave and managed to steal [[Wellspring Mask|three]] [[Hearthflame Mask|of]] [[Cornerstone Mask|them]] while Ogerpon's friend managed to protect [[Teal Mask|one of them]]. After finding out, Ogerpon discovered about what happened and beat the trio up, Munkidori lost their life in the fight along with its partners. In the villagers' eyes though, it looked like the trio had fallen protecting the village from the enraged ogre, nicknaming them the Loyal Three and giving them a proper burial.

Munkidori, together with Okidogi and Fezandipiti, are known as the [[Loyal Three]], the heroes of Kitakami. They are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that once protected the land from the "evil ogre",<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3cA6VSgdj8 Watch the New Trailer for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero!]" [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> and stone statues bearing their likenesses were made by the people as an expression of their gratitude right where the three had been buried.<ref>(February 27, 2023). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/ Introducing the Legendary Pokémon You’ll Meet in This DLC]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> According to locals, worshiping Munkidori ensures one is successful in life and that everything will be hunky-dory. Even with its greedy and manipulative personality, Munkidori has a great relationships with its teammates, talking to each other in private and acting together to defeat their oponents. By consuming the Kitakami Mochis, Munkidori can become a [[Titan Pokémon]].

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Munkidori may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, particularly the {{wp|Japanese macaque}}, such as the northermost Japanese macaque from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}}. This is sort of reflected with its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] form, which gives it a slight tanned fur coat similar to Japanese macaques. Its regular coloration resembles a {{wp|chimpanzee}}. The chain on its forehead resembles a headband. Its mischievous personality and Psychic typing could be a reference to the {{wp|Satori}}, a {{wp|yokai}} that takes the form of a mind-reading monkey and torments travelers.

Munkidori, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The purple chain could be based on a {{wp|shimenawa}}.

====Name origin====
Munkidori may be a combination of ''monkey'' and ''hunky dory'' (slang meaning that things are good).

Mashimashira may be a combination of 増し ''mashi'' (better, improving) and 猿 ''mashira'' (archaic word for monkey or ape).

'''Hatterene''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリムオン''' ''Brimuon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Hattrem}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Hatenna}}.

Hatterene can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Hatterene''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Hatterene is a small humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thin, white body. Its head is round and has a small mouth, narrow black eyes with white pupils, and two elliptical pink markings over each of its eyes resembling eyelashes or eyebrows. It has extremely long, layered, symmetrical hair, far longer than its body is tall; much like a cloak, the hair on its head drapes to the ground and swathes around it to conceal much of its true body, which is adorned by a pink semi-translucent dress that gives it a much taller silhouette, resembling that of a stereotypical sorceress or witch. This hair is colored in a gradient of baby-blue, pale pink, and white from its upper portions downwards. The hair above Hatterene's head is shaped like a wide-brimmed witch's hat with a conical shape serving as the crown of the hat formation. Extending from the pointed end of the hat is a single tentacle that ends in a pink bulb and a consecutive baby-blue bulb that has a trio of sharp claws, which can articulate in a manner similar to fingers, jutting out of it. Hatterene is a female-only species.

Hatterene has a solitary and reclusive nature, emitting psychic powers strong enough to cause headaches as a method to deter others from approaching and disturbing it. It has also been observed that it dislikes loud noises, tearing apart perpetrators with the claws on its tentacle as a result. As shown in the [[JN139|anime]], Hatterene plays with people's minds and creates illusions, deceiving them for its own pleasure. Due to its long hair obstructing its floating body, Hatterene's main forms of locomotion are levitation and short-distance teleportation. This Pokémon lives in forests with no other living creatures nearby, and as such it is known as the Forest Witch.

Hatterene is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Magic Powder}}.

===Forms===
Hatterene has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

Gigantamax Hatterene has grown to a colossal size. While its physiology remains vastly the same, its black eyes are now blue with white pupils. In addition to this, its hair has grown and increased in volume, forming a chamber of sorts that its body sits in. On both sides of this chamber are a pair of teardrop-shaped openings. The hat-like formation on its head has also changed, with the brim being thinner and draping around it and the crown ending in a pink bulb. Attached to the said bulb is a larger baby-blue bulb that has three, long tentacles tapering from it. As seen with all Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds loom and swirl above the hat of Gigantamax Hatterene. Known as the Raging Goddess, Gigantamax Hatterene has the ability to sense the emotions of creatures from over 30 miles away, and it will become enraged and attack if it senses any hostility. Its tentacles are capable of firing off energy beams akin to lightning.

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

==Trivia==
* Hatterene, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}, and their evolutionary families can be considered counterparts.
** Both are [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon evolving once at level 32, then at level 42.
** Hatterene and its pre-evolved forms are female-only, while Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are male-only.
** Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield and [[catch rate]] as their counterpart (e.g. Hatterene and Grimmsnarl both have a base stat total of 510), except for Hatenna and Impidimp's [[catch rate]].
** These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in the [[National Pokédex]], the [[Galar Pokédex]], the [[Crown Tundra Pokédex]] and the [[Paldea Pokédex]].
** Both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Hatterene resembles witches, and Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins.
** Both Pokémon are {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon based around long hair that have their {{stat|Speed}} drop upon evolution.
** Both Pokémon are the signature Pokémon of a [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who is a succeeding [[Gym Leader]] and [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] it ([[Bede]]'s Hatterene and [[Marnie]]'s Grimmsnarl).
* Despite the fact that Hatterene's means of movement involves short-distance teleportation, it cannot learn the move {{m|Teleport}}.

===Origin===
Hatterene may be inspired by forest witches from European folklore that are used to frighten children that do not want to sleep or stay quiet, such as {{wp|Baba Yaga}}, the {{wp|hag}} from the {{wp|Hansel and Gretel}} fairy tale, and especially {{wp|Coco (folklore)|Cuca}} due to its connection with Grimmsnarl. Hatterene may also take inspiration from {{wp|Hattara}}, a female forest troll or race of giants from Finnish mythology; Hattara is also the Finnish name for cotton candy which may be the basis of Hatterene's color scheme of pink, white, and blue, the main three colors of cotton candy. Its appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Harionago}}, a female ghoul from Japanese folklore described as a beautiful woman that uses its extremely long hair tipped with thorn-like barbs to attack. Its tentacle(s) and aversion to offensive behavior may also be a reference to the {{wp|Sea witch (folklore)|sea witch}}. The hat-like hair on its head seems to represent a stereotypical witch's hat mixed with a {{wp|hennin}}, a headwear commonly worn by noblewomen in the Middle Ages. The way Hatterene's hair hangs from the top of its body resembles ribbons on a {{wp|maypole}}, a large pole that is a central part of several European festivals celebrating the arrival of summer.

Hatterene's relatively small body, as well as the "windows" in its hair-like tentacles in its Gigantamax form, resemble the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower; in particular, it may reference {{wp|Rapunzel}}, a fairy tale recorded by the {{wp|Brothers Grimm}} about a girl who was locked by a sorceress in a tower, and whose hair was long enough to reach the ground from the top of her tower.

Its small grey body, which is hidden under its hair, with big wide eyes bears a resemblance to the typical depiction of {{wp|alien}}s.

====Name origin====
Hatterene may be a combination of ''hatter'' and ''serene''.

Brimuon may be a combination of ''brim'' and 無音 ''muon'' (silence).

'''Mabosstiff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフィティフ''' ''Mafitifu'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Maschiff}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Mabosstiff is a large, canine Pokémon. Its coat is primarily gray, with black colorations on its underside, back, and around its face and eyes. It also has a stripe of grayish-white fur running down its spine. The stripe starts at its forehead, which forms the appearance of slicked back hair; and ends at its rear, forming a long, brushy tail. Mabosstiff is known to shed its fur frequently. Mabosstiff's head is large with no discernible neck, and contains small, orange beady eyes; light gray eyebrows; additional light gray accents under its eyes; a rounded, triangular orange nose; and a mouth filled with sharp teeth. Mabosstiff has a large dewlap below its mouth, which allows it to store energy to drive back opponents. It has a gentle temperament and loves playing with children. However, it will bare its teeth and take on an intimidating look when protecting its family.

Mabosstiff is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] with the [[Ability]] of {{a|Guard Dog}}.

{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Mabosstiff is [[Arven]]'s main Pokémon, which became injured in [[Area Zero]] by a [[Paradox Pokémon|strange creature]] while the two searched for his [[Professor Sada|mother]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|father]]{{sup/9|V}}. Unable to heal him with conventional means such as [[Pokémon Center]]s or [[Potion]]s, Arven began to search for the rumored [[Herba Mystica]] to restore his partner. Through the combined efforts of Arven and the player through the '''Path of Legends''' storyline, Mabosstiff is eventually restored to full health, after which he becomes a mainstay on his [[party|team]].

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Mabosstiff seems to be based on the {{wp|mastiff}} breeds of dog. With its large build and long coat, it particularly resembles the {{wp|Tibetan Mastiff}}, which is not a true mastiff breed despite its name. Its appearance, combined with its {{t|Dark}} type and its protective nature towards its family, may be derived from the archetypal looks and behaviors of leaders in organized crime families, such as in the Italian {{wp|mafia}} and the Japanese {{wp|yakuza}}. It also slightly resembles an old person because of the grey eyebrows and fur on its head/back. Its friendly behavior around children and [[Guard Dog|signature ability]] may be inspired by {{wp|livestock guardian dogs}}, a type of dog bred to protect livestock from predators also known for their friendliness, many of which are mastiff breeds.

====Name origin====
Mabosstiff may be a combination of ''mafia'', ''mob'', ''boss'', and ''mastiff''.

Mafitifu may be a combination of ''mafia'' and ''mastiff''.

'''Dachsbun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バウッツェル''' ''Bowtzel'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fidough}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Dachsbun is a stout, canine Pokémon with an elongated body. Its fur is mostly brown, with various shades of lighter and darker brown on its head, snout, ears, neck, back, tail, and paws, along with a yellow underbelly. It has black beady eyes with two small eyebrow-like protrusions above them, and a long snout with a small, dark triangular nose. Its ears, together with the growths around its neck, resemble bread rolls. On its back is a series of protruberances that resemble a braid, and its tail is circular and somewhat flattened. It has shaggy tufts of yellow fur on its neck and the tip of its tail, and its feet have pale yellow paw pads and three yellow claws each.

Dachsbun's body emanates a pleasant, appetizing aroma, which helps wheat to grow; thus, Dachsbun is historically treasured by farming villages. When it's exposed to intense heat, Dachsbun's skin will harden. Dachsbun is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] with the [[Ability]] of {{a|Well-Baked Body}}.

==Trivia==
*Dachsbun shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Boltund}}. They are both known as the Dog Pokémon.
*Dachsbun is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 477.

===Origin===
Dachsbun seems to be based on the {{wp|dachshund}} breed of dog, known for its elongated body and short legs, and various baked goods such as bread loaves, bread rolls, {{wp|bun}}s, {{wp|challah}}, {{wp|brioche}}, and {{wp|pretzel}}s. The two concepts together may be a pun on the phrase "{{wp|purebred}}" — a term used to recognise dogs of consistent genetic lineage — as it is pronounced like "pure bread". Its darker colors compared to [[Fidough|its pre-evolution]] may be a visual pun on the {{wp|Maillard Reaction}}, a chemical reaction that occurs in cooked foods that gives them their characteristic brown color and flavor. This is reinforced by its signature ability, [[Well-Baked Body]].

====Name origin====
Dachsbun may be a combination of ''dachshund'' and ''bun''.

Bowtzel may be a combination of ''bow wow'' (onomatopoeia for a dog's bark) and ''pretzel''.

===Origin===
Brambleghast appears to be based on a {{wp|tumbleweed}}. Its secondary {{t|Ghost}} type may be a pun about the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|Ghost_town|ghost towns}}.

'''Pawmo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パモット''' ''Pamot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pawmi}} starting at [[level]] 18, and evolves into {{p|Pawmot}} when leveled up while outside of its [[Poké Ball]] after walking 1000 steps using the [[Let's Go]] feature.

==Biology==
Pawmo is a stout, bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. Compared to Pawmi and Pawmot, its fur is almost entirely light orange, with tan colorations on its forepaws, snout, and long, fluffy tail, and green on the insides of its ears. Its face has beady brown eyes, a tiny nose, and yellow electric sacs on its cheeks. It has tufts of fur on its forehead and near its ears. Pawmo's forelimbs are considerably large, and stretches down to its tiny feet. Pawmo's forepaws contain yellow pads that turn teal-blue when releasing electricity. It uses these paw pads for its signature fighting technique, where it simultaneously strikes and zaps foes with its forepaws.

==Trivia==
* Pawmo and its pre-evolution {{p|Pawmi}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
** Pawmi and Pawmo are the only Pokémon with this category to not be introduced in [[Generation I]], and the only ones whose evolutionary line has no {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s.
* Pawmi and Pawmo are the first {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|electric rodents}} since {{p|Pichu}} to be able to evolve.

===Origin===
Pawmo seems to be based on a {{wp|marmot}}, such as the {{wp|alpine marmot}} which can be found in the {{wp|Pyrenees}} mountain range of {{wp|Iberia}}. Pawmo's ability of discharging electricity from its paws may be inspired by {{wp|Defibrillation|defibrillator}}s, while its {{t|Fighting}} type and its ability to learn {{m|Arm Thrust}} could be a grim reference to {{wp|Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation#Injuries|the potential injuries that result from CPR}}.

====Name origin====
Pawmo may be a combination of ''{{p|Pawmi}}'' and ''marmot'' and ''dynamo''.

Pamot may be a combination of パモ ''Pamo'' (Pawmi) and ''marmot''.

'''Meowscarada''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マスカーニャ''' ''Masquernya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Floragato}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Sprigatito}}.

==Biology==
Meowscarada is a humanoid feline Pokémon with light green fur covering most of its body, stopping just above its long dark green legs, and a short fluffy tail. Its face has lazy pink eyes and is covered in a four-pointed mask-like shape, with a pattern of three green diamonds on it. Each of its hands has three fingers tipped with green claws, as well as a pink paw pad. On its neck is a pink collar resembling flower petals, which hold together its cape. The cape is lined with reflective fur, is black on the outside and green on the inside, and splits into two near the base, with both parts of the cape ending in {{wp|fleur-de-lis}} shapes.

Meowscarada carries a green flower, whose stem is hidden by the reflective fur on its cape, creating the illusion of floating. In a battle, Meowscarada stealthily plants flower bombs filled with pollen onto its foes. Then, the bombs are set off, catching the opponents unawares.

Meowscarada is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Flower Trick}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Meowscarada appears to be based on a {{wp|feline}} — possibly the {{wp|Iberian lynx}} — and a {{wp|Magic (illusion)|magician}}, with its high Speed and Dark-typing likely inspired by the {{wp|sleight of hand}} needed to create a convincing act. It also seems to take inspiration from a {{wp|masquerade ball}} or the holiday {{wp|Mardi Gras}}, which often involves participants wearing masks. Mardi Gras and its decorative masks are especially popular in {{wp|New Orleans}}, which was once under Spanish rule.

====Name origin====
Meowscarada may be a combination of ''meow'' and ''mascarada'' (Spanish for masquerade).

Masquernya may be a combination of ''masquerade'' and ニャー ''nyā'' (onomatopoeia for meowing).

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Houndstone may be based on various long-haired dog breeds such as the {{wp|Briard}} or the {{wp|Catalan Sheepdog}}. Houndstone's skeletal appearance and typing suggest it is based on the {{wp|undead}}. The protrusion on its head resembles a {{wp|headstone}} and a {{wp|bone}}, while the raised portion of its body resembles a {{wp|tumulus}}, a pile of earth placed over burial grounds.

====Name origin====
Houndstone may derive from ''hound'' and ''headstone''.

Hakadoggu may be a combination of 墓 ''haka'' (tomb) and ''dog''.

'''Bombirdier''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オトシドリ''' ''Otoshidori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

==Biology==
Bombirdier is a white avian Pokémon resembling a stork. It has black slanted eyes, a long pink beak with a rounded bump on the tip, and a small fan-like crest on the back of its head. It has a long neck and long pink legs, with three toes facing forward and one toe facing backward on each foot. Its claws are black, as are the feathers on the tips of its wings, on its lower body, and on the inside of its tail, which has a squared end.

Hanging from Bombirdier's chest is a long white apron made of its own shed feathers, which droops down past its legs. When flying, Bombirdier holds the end of this apron in its beak. It uses the apron to gather food, such as {{p|Basculin}}, and bring them to its nest. Bombirdier also gathers various objects in its apron, which it then drops from high places for fun. It particularly enjoys dropping objects that cause loud noises.

Bombirdier is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] with the [[Ability]] of {{a|Rocky Payload}}.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Bombirdier, known as the Open Sky Titan, is one of the [[Titan Pokémon]] found in the Paldea region.

==Trivia==
* The concept of a delivering-baby stork Pokémon has been previously looked at by Game Freak, as [https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver/Sprites/980506#Sprites_300-448 an unnammed beta Pokémon labeled as Nº 378] was based on the same concept.

===Origin===
Bombirdier may be based on a {{wp|white stork}}. In European folklore, {{wp|White stork#Storks and delivery of babies|white storks are believed to be responsible for delivering babies to new parents}} by dropping them down chimneys; Bombirdier's design plays with this trope by having the Pokémon drop various objects to attack instead. This tool usage also bears semblance to the {{wp|Egyptian vulture}}'s technique of dropping stones on ostrich eggs to crack them. Tying in with this theme, its apron and black-and-white plumage bring to mind the image of a {{wp|nanny}}.
====Name origin====
Bombirdier may be a combination of ''bombardier'' and ''bird''.

Otoshidori may be a combination of 落とし ''otoshi'' (to drop) and 鳥 ''tori'' (bird).

'''Lokix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エクスレッグ''' ''Exleg'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nymble}} starting at [[level]] 24.
==Biology==
Lokix is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a locust. It has a third set of legs which it normally keeps folded on its back. When it decides to fight all out, it stands on its previously folded legs to enter Showdown Mode.

When in Showdown Mode, Lokix is capable of neutralizing its enemies in short order. However, this places a huge burden on its body, so it cannot stay in this mode for long.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Lokix.
* Lokix's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokedex]], 15, is possibly a reference to Kamen Rider Ichigo, the very first Kamen Rider protagonist.

===Origin===
Lokix appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}, particularly those of the {{wp|locust}} variety, which are notably larger than other grasshopper varieties and have a swarming phase. Its design also bears significant resemblance to the protagonists of the {{wp|Kamen Rider}} franchise, several of which have used grasshopper motifs. Its use of Showdown Mode to temporarily take on foes is similar to the Riders changing into other forms over the course of a fight, and its preference for kicking is likely an homage to the signature move of the original Kamen Rider, the Rider Kick.

====Name origin====
Lokix may be a combination of ''locust'' and ''kicks''.

Exleg may be a combination of ''extreme'' and ''leg''.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Lokix.

===Origin===
Lokix appears to be based on a {{wp|grasshopper}}, particularly those of the {{wp|locust}} variety, which are notably larger than other grasshopper varieties and have a swarming phase. Its design also bears significant resemblance to the protagonists of the {{wp|Kamen Rider}} franchise, several of which have used grasshopper motifs. Its use of Showdown Mode to temporarily take on foes is similar to the Riders changing into other forms over the course of a fight, and its preference for kicking is likely an homage to the signature move of the original Kamen Rider, the Rider Kick.

====Name origin====
Lokix may be a combination of ''locust'' and ''kicks''.

Exleg may be a combination of ''extreme'' and ''leg''.

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

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

Along with {{p|Ting-Lu}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Chien-Pao is a member of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]].

==Biology==
Chien-Pao is a feline Pokémon. Its body is comprised of what appears to be snow, with ice-like crystals running down its back and legs and forming its claws, eyes, and whiskers. Two ice-tipped weapons, one resembling a sword's blade and the other its hilt, form large fangs, with the broken ends jutting through its upper jaw.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken blade comprising its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over ice. Chien-Pao is described as being able to control 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches and playing around in them innocently.

Chien-Pao and the other Treasures of Ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Chien-Pao may be based on a {{wp|snow leopard}}, although its body proportions are more similar to those of {{wp|weasels}}, {{wp|linsangs}} or some depictions of the {{wp|Tatzelwurm}}. Its elongated fangs may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|jian}}'' (double-edged straight sword) and the prehistoric {{wp|Smilodon}}. Like the other members of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]], Chien-Pao appears to take inspiration from the {{wp|Four Perils}}, specifically the ''Qiongqi'', a man-eating creature that is analogous to the Japanese ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}''. This is further implied by the fact it shares its typing with [[Sneasel]] and [[Weavile]], themselves heavily inspired by ''kamaitachi ''.

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

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Chien-Pao may be based on a {{wp|snow leopard}}, although its body proportions are more similar to those of {{wp|weasels}}, {{wp|linsangs}} or some depictions of the {{wp|Tatzelwurm}}. Its elongated fangs may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|jian}}'' (double-edged straight sword) and the prehistoric {{wp|Smilodon}}. Like the other members of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]], Chien-Pao appears to take inspiration from the {{wp|Four Perils}}, specifically the ''Qiongqi'', a man-eating creature that is analogous to the Japanese {{wp|''kamaitachi''}}. This is further implied by the fact it shares its typing with [[Sneasel]] and [[Weavile]], themselves heavily inspired by ''kamaitachi''.

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

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

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

Along with {{p|Ting-Lu}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Chien-Pao is a member of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]].

==Biology==
Chien-Pao is a feline Pokémon. Its body is comprised of what appears to be snow, with ice-like crystals running down its back and legs and forming its claws, eyes, and whiskers. Two ice-tipped weapons, one resembling a sword's blade and the other its hilt, form large fangs, with the broken ends jutting through its upper jaw.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken blade comprising its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over ice. Chien-Pao is described as being able to control 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches and playing around in them innocently.

Chien-Pao and the other Treasures of Ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Chien-Pao may be based on a {{wp|snow leopard}}, although its body proportions are more similar to those of {{wp|weasels}}, {{wp|linsangs}} or some depictions of the {{wp|Tatzelwurm}}. Its elongated fangs may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|jian}}'' (double-edged straight sword) and the prehistoric {{wp|Smilodon}}. Like the other members of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]], Chien-Pao appears to take inspiration from the {{wp|Four Perils}}, specifically the Qionqi, a man-eating creature that is analogous to the Japanese {{wp|''kamaitachi''}}. This is further implied by the fact it shares its typing with [[Sneasel]] and [[Weavile]], themselves heavily inspired by ''kamaitachi''.

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

==Trivia==
* In Black and White, Watchog was the only Pokémon to have the same {{EV}} yield as its {{p|Patrat|pre-evolution}}, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving one EV in Attack.
** Because its EV yield was 2 Attack in Black 2 and White 2, Watchog is the only Pokémon to have its EV yield changed within a [[generation]].
* Watchog is the only evolved Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 255.

===Origin===
Watchog is based on a {{wp|groundhog}} and possibly a {{wp|meerkat}} or {{wp|prairie dog}}. Its design is also based on a road worker, with the body resembling a {{wp|personal protective equipment|protective suit}} and the yellow stripes forming a {{wp|High-visibility clothing|safety vest}}. The shiny coloration of the stripes are bright chartreuse, another common color used for safety equipment.
====Name origin====
Watchog is a combination of ''watch'' and ''groundhog''. It may also be a play on {{wp|guard dog|watchdog}}, a dog used to guard.

Miruhog may be a combination of 見る ''miru'' (to observe) or ''meerkat'' and ''groundhog''.

==Trivia==
* In Black and White, Watchog was the only Pokémon to have the same {{EV}} yield as its {{p|Patrat|pre-evolution}}, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving one EV in Attack.
** Because its EV yield was 2 Attack in Black 2 and White 2, Watchog is the only Pokémon to have its EV yield changed within a [[generation]].
* Watchog is the only evolved Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 255.

===Origin===
Watchog is based on a {{wp|groundhog}} and possibly a {{wp|meerkat}} or {{wp|prairie dog}}. Its design is also based on a road worker, with the body resembling a {{wp|personal protective equipment|protective suit}} and the yellow stripes forming a {{wp|High-visibility clothing|safety vest}}. The shiny coloration of the stripes are bright chartreuse, another common color used for safety equipment due.
====Name origin====
Watchog is a combination of ''watch'' and ''groundhog''. It may also be a play on {{wp|guard dog|watchdog}}, a dog used to guard.

Miruhog may be a combination of 見る ''miru'' (to observe) or ''meerkat'' and ''groundhog''.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed seamitar]]

Samurott is a quadrupedal, blue, sea lion-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and it has a red nose and eyes. On the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. A dull bluish-gray seashell-like carapace covers its underbelly, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, that appear to be made of seashells. The forelimbs' bracers contain swords called [[Scalchop and seamitar|seamitars]]. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords, and the upper segment and spike make up the seamitar and its handle. Samurott possess three black digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige.

When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight. In the time it takes a foe to blink, it can draw and sheathe the seamitars attached to its front legs. One swing of its seamitar can beat opponents. It can silence foes with a glare or a howl.

==Trivia==
[[File:Samurott Blue Battle Chess.png|thumb|Samurott in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Samurott, {{p|Serperior}}, and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* At 2.099 seconds, Samurott has the longest [[cry]] of any starter.
* During an interview, [[Yusuke Ohmura]] said he designed Samurott before Oshawott after going to an exhibit and seeing how strong sea lions are.
* Samurott appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. It acts as a bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square directly forward.
* Samurott is the only fully-evolved Water-type starter Pokémon that is not in the Water 1 Egg Group.

===Origin===
While its pre-evolved forms are based on {{wp|otter}}s, Samurott's design is also heavily based on a {{wp|sea lion}} and an armored {{wp|samurai}}.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref><ref name="Dream">[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation of an interview with the developers of ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' on volume 201 of Nintendo dream].</ref> While it was decided that {{p|Oshawott}} would be based on an otter, the designers had issues in creating a fully evolved form which was more interesting than just a bigger otter standing on two legs. At that point [[Yusuke Ohmura]] went to see real-life otters at an exhibit, but his attention was rather caught by the strength displayed by nearby sea lions, and thus decided that the fully evolved form would possess the latter animals’ body shape.<ref name="Dream"/> Furthermore, to represent the variety in the human population of [[Unova]], it was decided that the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary families]] of the [[starter Pokémon]] would be based on the West, China and Japan. In the case of the Oshawott family, it had to represent Japan, and thus was based on Japanese samurai.<ref name="Dream"/> Samurott's inspiration might also come from the lifespan of a samurai, from a child (Oshawott) to a military commander (Samurott).

Samurott's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head appears to be based on the {{wp|Murex trapa|rare-spined murex}} shell. The markings on its chest make it reminiscent of a {{wp|giant otter}}. Its ability to withdraw, attack with, and return its blade may be a reference to {{wp|iaido}}, a Japanese martial art that uses similar swordplay in combat. Its whiskers bear a great deal of similarity to the facial hair found in some {{wp|Men-yoroi#Menpō|menpō}}, a type of facial armor employed by samurai.

====Name origin====
Samurott is a combination of ''samurai'' and ''otter''.

Daikenki is the complete ''{{wp|Kanji#On'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading)|on'yomi}}'' (Chinese sound) reading of 大剣鬼 ''daikenki'' (big, sword-wielding demon). This is a combination of 大 ''dai'' (big), ''ken'' (sword), and ''ki'' (demon), with 剣鬼 ''kenki'' meaning "sword-wielding demon" or "sword master". Its Chinese and Korean names are based on this reading. 大 ''dai'' may refer to Samurott's place in the evolutionary line, as the biggest and therefore final evolution.
