'''Spinarak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イトマル''' ''Itomaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ariados}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Spinarak is a green {{wp|arachnid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|spider}}. It has black eyes with white pupils, a white horn on its forehead, and a pair of red {{wp|Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)|mandibles}}. On the back of its abdomen are two black dots and a line that resembles a face; the face on its back can change expression.<ref>Shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' and the 3D [[Pokémon games]]</ref> There is an additional line encircling the end of its abdomen. It has three pairs of yellow legs, each with a black band around the middle.

Spinarak is a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] that lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate and tropical forests}}. It spins webs that are strong enough to withstand having stones set on them and act as nets for fishermen. A patient hunter, it can wait for days for prey to become ensnared in its web. It senses what kind of prey has been caught by the vibrations in the web and its preferred prey is {{p|Cutiefly}}. Once its prey is captured, a motionless Spinarak will wait until darkness falls. Its poison is not very strong but is potent enough to weaken caught prey. As seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episodes ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]] and [[EP176|Ariados, Amigos]],'' silk produced by a Spinarak can be used in various medicinal treatments such as skin moisturizers and bandages.

Spinarak and its evolved form, {{p|Ariados}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Toxic Thread}}. Before [[Generation V]], {{m|Spider Web}} was its signature move.

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinarak|31}}

==Trivia==
* Spinarak can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Ledyba}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Spinarak is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, while Ledyba is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}. Spinarak are nocturnal, while Ledyba are matutinal. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Spinarak being more common in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, and Ledyba in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}. Both were also added to the expanded {{safari|Hoenn}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, and both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black, and White|s}}. Additionally, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]] its evolved form swarms on {{rt|22|Unova}} while Ledyba's evolved form does so in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]].

===Origin===
Spinarak may be based on the {{wp|Trichonephila clavata|Jorō spider}}, a spider with similar coloring found throughout Japan. The face-like marking on its back has however given rise to a number of other theories, including the {{wp|Theridion grallator|happy face spider}}, an arachnid from Hawaii with similar coloring and a face-like marking on its abdomen. It could also be based on any number of spiders with face-like markings, including the Asian {{wp|Araneus mitificus|kidney garden spider}}, whose markings appear as a frowning face like most of Spinarak's official artwork; or some {{wp|jumping spider}}s, which have a similar build to Spinarak but do not spin webs. The horn on its head may be based on the {{wp|Ceratogyrus}} tarantulas, some species of which have similar horns.

====Name origin====
Spinarak may be a combination of ''{{wp|Spinneret (spider)|spinneret}}'', the verb ''spin'' (to form a web from threads), or ''Spinne'' (German for spider), and ''{{wp|arachnid}}''. Incidentally, ''spinnerak'' is the {{wp|Afrikaans}} word for ''spider web''.

Itomaru may be a combination of 糸 ''ito'' (thread) and 丸 ''maru'' (circle; suffix in young boy's names).

A '''Jogger''' (Japanese: '''ジョギング''' ''Jogging'' in Generations IV and VIII, '''ジョガー''' ''Jogger'' in Generation IX) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation IV]] games. They are young men in visors and athletic outfits.

They use a variety of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but are notable because they can only be battled in the [[Time|morning]]. It could be said that their counterparts are {{tc|Policeman|Policemen}}, who can only be battled at night.

In Pokémon Legends: ZA, joggers now are female along with the male Joggers.

'''Beautifly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アゲハント''' ''Agehunt'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Silcoon}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is one of {{p|Wurmple}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Dustox}}.

==Biology==
Beautifly is a {{wp|butterfly}}-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings are black with large, yellow markings, and smaller red and blue markings. The upper pair of wings is larger and has a line of yellow along the top edge, while each of the lower wings have a long, round-tipped extension on the bottom. The female's wings have smaller red spots than the male. Beautifly has long and curled black proboscis that it uses to drain body fluids from its prey. Additionally, this aggressive Pokémon will jab at foes with its proboscis if it is disturbed while collecting pollen. Beautifly is easily recognized by the colorful pattern on its wings. Its favorite food is nectar. The preferred habitats of a Beautifly are {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

==Trivia==
* Beautifly shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Butterfree}}. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
* Previously, Beautifly and its [[Branched evolution|evolutionary counterpart]] {{p|Dustox}} shared the same [[base stats]], with Beautifly's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} swapped with Dustox's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This changed after [[Generation VI]] when Beautifly received a ten-point increase to its Special Attack, but Dustox did not receive a stat increase.

===Origin===
Beautifly appears to be based on a {{wp|swallowtail butterfly}} such as the {{wp|Papilio machaon|common yellow swallowtail}} due to its wing shape and colors. Its ability to pierce prey with its {{wp|proboscis}} is similar to a {{wp|Calyptra (moth)#Penetrating skin|vampire moth}} or a {{wp|mosquito}}.

====Name origin====
Beautifly may be a combination of ''beauty'' and ''butterfly''. It may also be a play on ''beautify'' (to improve the appearance of)''.

Agehunt may be a combination of 揚羽蝶 ''agehachō'' (swallowtail butterfly) and ''hunt'' (referring to its aggressive nature).

'''Beautifly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アゲハント''' ''Agehunt'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Silcoon}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is one of {{p|Wurmple}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Dustox}}.

==Biology==
Beautifly is a {{wp|butterfly}}-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings are black with large, yellow markings, and smaller red and blue markings. The upper pair of wings is larger and has a line of yellow along the top edge, while each of the lower wings have a long, round-tipped extension on the bottom. The female's wings have smaller red spots than the male. Beautifly has long and curled black proboscis that it uses to drain body fluids from its prey. Additionally, this aggressive Pokémon will jab at foes with its proboscis if it is disturbed while collecting pollen. Beautifly is easily recognized by its colorful wing patterns. Its favorite food is nectar. Beautifly lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

==Trivia==
* Beautifly shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Butterfree}}. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
* Previously, Beautifly and its [[Branched evolution|evolutionary counterpart]] {{p|Dustox}} shared the same [[base stats]], with Beautifly's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} swapped with Dustox's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This changed after [[Generation VI]] when Beautifly received a ten-point increase to its Special Attack, but Dustox did not receive a stat increase.

===Origin===
Beautifly appears to be based on a {{wp|swallowtail butterfly}} such as the {{wp|Papilio machaon|common yellow swallowtail}} due to its wing shape and colors. Its ability to pierce prey with its {{wp|proboscis}} is similar to a {{wp|Calyptra (moth)#Penetrating skin|vampire moth}} or a {{wp|mosquito}}.

====Name origin====
Beautifly may be a combination of ''beauty'' and ''butterfly''. It may also be a play on ''beautify'' (to improve the appearance of)''.

Agehunt may be a combination of 揚羽蝶 ''agehachō'' (swallowtail butterfly) and ''hunt'' (referring to its aggressive nature).

'''Pawniard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コマタナ''' ''Komatana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bisharp}} starting at [[level]] 52.

==Biology==
Pawniard is a small, bipedal Pokémon with a vaguely beetle-like appearance. It has a rounded red and black head with a silvery blade extending from the front. Its face is gray with yellow eyes. Four steel spikes protrude from its black torso, two on each side connected by steel ribs. It has red arms that end with knife-like blades instead of hands, which it regularly sharpens with its favorite sharping stones found by rivers. When hunting, Pawniard immobilizes prey by repeated stabbing with these blades after clipping on to them. It then clangs the two blades together afterwards. Its legs are red with two-toed feet.

In the wild, Pawniard lives in packs governed by Bisharp. The Pawniard will attack when commanded by Bisharp and will continue to do so even if they are injured. Each member of the pack trains diligently, hoping to one day take the lead.

==In the anime==
[[File:Georgia Pawniard.png|thumb|left|250px|Pawniard in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Pawniard and its evolved form.
** The types it has are coincidentally the two types introduced in [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Pawniard looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a lackey or lower member—with features resembling ''{{wp|ashigaru}}'' armor. It may also originate from ''kaijin'', humanoid villains found in {{wp|kaiju|Japanese monster movies}}. It also has some traits of a pawn chess piece.

====Name origin====
Pawniard may be a combination of ''{{wp|Pawn (chess)|pawn}}'' (the most basic piece in {{wp|chess}} or a low-level operative in an organization) and ''{{wp|poignard}}'' or ''poniard'' (a lightweight dagger). It may also involve ''palliard'' (beggar or thief).

Komatana may be a combination of 駒 ''koma'' (a piece in the board game {{wp|Shogi}}), 細切れ ''komagire'' (small pieces), and 刀 ''katana'' (sword) or 小刀 ''kogatana'' (knife).

'''Bisharp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キリキザン''' ''Kirikizan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pawniard}} starting at [[level]] 52.

==Biology==
Bisharp is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. It has a round, red and black head, similar to a war helmet, topped with a golden, double-headed axe blade. Its face is primarily yellow with a black outline. The helmet shrouds most of its yellow-and-black face, although its triangular eyes are visible. Resembling shoulder pads, its red shoulders project slightly over its arms and have a thin yellow line where they meet its black torso. It has white, metallic hands that resemble gloves, with retractable, blades attached. Encircling its torso are two blades, which create the impression of a ribcage. Its thighs are red and become progressively thinner as they connect to the knee. Both of its feet are metallic and split down the middle, resembling cloven hooves. These hooves are also similar to steel war boots or possibly leggings.

In the wild, Bisharp rules over a pack of Pawniard, and fights other Bisharp to become the alpha of the pack. The loser of these fights is cast out. It is notably pitiless, having no expression when finishing off prey. When hunting, the Pawniard allow the leader Bisharp to perform the finishing blow. Once a Bisharp's head blade is chipped or damaged, it retires from its position as boss. Bisharp keeps an close eye on members of its pack to ensure none of the Pawniard think about betraying it. It has violent conflicts with {{p|Fraxure}} over the locations of sharping stones.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Bisharp and its pre-evolved form.
** The types it has are also the two types that were introduced in [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Bisharp looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a leader—with features resembling {{wp|samurai}} armor, while its behaviour and bipedal appearance are reminiscent of a {{wp|soldier}}. It may also originate from ''kaijin'', humanoid villains found in {{wp|kaiju|Japanese monster movies}}. Just like its pre-evolved form, Bisharp may also draw some inspirations from a chess piece (in this case, a bishop).

====Name origin====
Bisharp is a combination of ''{{wp|Bishop (chess)|bishop}}'' (a piece in {{wp|chess}}) and ''sharp'' (describing its metal blades). Akin to {{p|Pawniard}} evolving into Bisharp, a {{wp|pawn (chess)|pawn}} in chess can be {{wp|Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promoted}} into a bishop piece (among other chess piece classes) if it reaches the opponent's side of the board. It may also involve to ''bisect'' (to cut or split into two), referring to Bisharp's cutting abilities. Its name could also refer to the twin blades on its torso (derived from the numerical prefix ''{{wp|bi-}}'', meaning "two" in Latin).

Kirikizan may be a combination of 切り刻む ''kirikizamu'' (to mince) and 斬 ''zan'' (to cut or slay).

'''Bisharp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キリキザン''' ''Kirikizan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pawniard}} starting at [[level]] 52.

==Biology==
Bisharp is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. It has a round, red and black head, similar to a war helmet, topped with a golden, double-headed axe blade. Its face is primarily yellow with a black outline. The helmet shrouds most of its yellow-and-black face, although its triangular eyes are visible. Resembling shoulder pads, its red shoulders project slightly over its arms and have a thin yellow line where they meet its black torso. It has white, metallic hands that resemble gloves, with retractable, blades attached. Encircling its torso are two blades, which create the impression of a ribcage. Its thighs are red and become progressively thinner as they connect to the knee. Both of its feet are metallic and split down the middle, resembling cloven hooves. These hooves are also similar to steel war boots or possibly leggings.

In the wild, Bisharp rules over a pack of Pawniard, and fights other Bisharp to become the alpha of the pack. The loser of these fights is cast out. It is notably pitiless, having no expression when finishing off prey. When hunting, the Pawniard allow the leader Bisharp to perform the finishing blow. Once a Bisharp's head blade is chipped or damaged, it retires from its position as boss. Bisharp keeps an close eye on members of its pack to ensure none of the Pawniard think about betraying it. It has violent conflicts with {{p|Fraxure}} over the locations of sharping stones.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Bisharp and its pre-evolved form.
** The types it has are also the two types that were introduced in [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Bisharp looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a leader—with features resembling {{wp|samurai}} armor, while its behaviour and bipedal appearance are reminiscent of a {{wp|soldier}}. It may also originate from ''kaijin'', humanoid villains found in {{wp|kaiju|Japanese monster movies}}. Just like its pre-evolved form, Bisharp may also draw some inspirations from a chess piece (in this case, a Bishop).

====Name origin====
Bisharp is a combination of ''{{wp|Bishop (chess)|bishop}}'' (a piece in {{wp|chess}}) and ''sharp'' (describing its metal blades). Akin to {{p|Pawniard}} evolving into Bisharp, a {{wp|pawn (chess)|pawn}} in chess can be {{wp|Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promoted}} into a bishop piece (among other chess piece classes) if it reaches the opponent's side of the board. It may also involve to ''bisect'' (to cut or split into two), referring to Bisharp's cutting abilities. Its name could also refer to the twin blades on its torso (derived from the numerical prefix ''{{wp|bi-}}'', meaning "two" in Latin).

Kirikizan may be a combination of 切り刻む ''kirikizamu'' (to mince) and 斬 ''zan'' (to cut or slay).

'''Sawk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダゲキ''' ''Dageki'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Throh}}.

==Biology==
Sawk is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with a lean, blue body and rocky skin. Its head is oblong-like and low on its shoulders, with an ornate sideways z-shaped black feature that forms its nose and its left brow. Its hands and feet each have three digits, with its feet and toes coming to a sharp point. It wears a light blue {{wp|karate gi}} with a black, v-neck collar that extends down to its {{wp|Black belt (martial arts)|black belt}}. Sawk will tie this black belt to increase its power. The gi has an intricate diamond pattern on its sleeves and a black, square patch on the bend of its knees. Sawk is found secluded in the mountains where it trains to increase its strength. It becomes angered if it is interrupted while training. A Sawk that has trained to its fullest potential has enough power to cleave oceans with a single karate chop. This Pokémon is an all male species with no female counterpart.

==Trivia==
* Sawk and {{p|Throh}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are male-only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be related to each other.
* Sawk and Throh were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].

===Origin===
Sawk is based on {{wp|Mas Oyama}}, a well-known {{wp|karate}} expert and the creator of {{wp|Kyokushin}} karate, and ''{{wp|oni}}''.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', in development, Sawk and Throh both had horns, making them look more like ''oni''. However, they were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, who both were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk.

====Name origin====
Sawk is a corruption of ''to sock'', meaning to punch.

Dageki may be derived from 打撃 ''dageki'' (blow, strike). It may also involve 鬼 ''ki'' ({{wp|Oni (folklore)|demon}}).

'''Reuniclus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ランクルス''' ''Lanculus'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Duosion}} starting at [[level]] 41. It is the final form of {{p|Solosis}}.

==Biology==
Reuniclus is a pale green Pokémon surrounded by a blob of translucent, green gelatinous substance. It has a large, round head with a thin stripe down the center. Its eyes are black and oval, while its mouth is red and triangular. Its body is small with stubby arms and legs. However, there are several round objects floating next to its arms. These objects increase in size and darken in color the further they are from the body and form arm-like appendages. The gel around these appendages forms three-fingered hands. Above its head, two rounded, triangular objects are suspended in the gel, giving the impression of horns or ears. The gel forms a stubby, round tail at the base of Reuniclus's body. Reuniclus controls its powerful arms using psychic powers. It can form a network with the brains of other Reuniclus by clasping hands with them.

Although capable of using its psychic powers in battle, Reuniclus prefers to use its large arms to pummel opponents. Drinking the liquid covering Reuniclus's body is said to grant wisdom; however, the liquid is extremely toxic.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===

It was seen participating in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where it defeated [[Cassie]]'s {{p|Sawsbuck}} before losing to {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Boldore}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Reuniclus appeared in ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]'', where it was defeated by [[Virgil]]'s {{p|Glaceon}} during the [[Vertress Conference]].

==Trivia==
* Reuniclus was designed by [[Keiko Moritsugu]].
* Reuniclus and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon to learn {{m|Thunder}} by [[TM]]/[[TR]] but not {{m|Thunderbolt}} in every [[generation]] they appear in.

===Origin===
Reuniclus and the rest of its evolutionary line seem to bear reference to {{wp|Cell (biology)|cells}}, with the green substance surrounding their bodies resembling {{wp|cytoplasm}} and the objects inside their bodies representing {{wp|organelle}}s. It also seems to take inspiration from the {{wp|Sea angel|sea angel}}. The line down its head also resembles a {{wp|cleavage furrow}} in cell biology. It may also make allusion to the {{wp|Embryonic development|embryonary stages}}, specifically when the embryo is fully developed to become a {{wp|fetus}}, while the green jelly may represent the {{wp|amniotic fluid}}.

The way its organelles are lined up in Reuniclus's arms resemble the generic meter for {{wp|Loudness|volume}} control, most likely referencing the ability to ''amplify'' its powers. Reuniclus also has a strong resemblance to a {{wp|homunculus}}, due to its larger ears, mouth, and hands, to represent a homunculus's ability to amplify. It may also be based partially on an {{wp|amoeba}}, with its arms resembling {{wp|Pseudopodia|pseudopods}}.

====Name origin====
Reuniclus may be a combination of ''reunite'', ''{{wp|homunculus}}'', and ''nucleus'' or ''cluster''. It may also derive from ''{{wp|unipolar neuron}}''.

Lanculus may be a combination of 乱 ''ran'' (disorder) or 卵 ''ran'' (spawn) and ''homunculus''.

'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨノワール''' ''Yonoir'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dusclops}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Reaper Cloth]]. It is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.

==Biology==
Dusknoir is a primarily black Pokémon somewhat resembling a cyclops. Its cylindrical head is light gray with a single eye that has a yellow iris and a red pupil. Its eyelid resembles a smiling mouth, with its red eye being a tongue. There is a yellow band near the top of its head, and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extends from on top. Six flat projections extend from the base of its neck and surround its head, resembling an {{wp|upturned collar}}. Dusknoir has well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso are two almond-shaped marking, and on its back are two circular markings. Both sets of markings resemble eyes. A yellow band encircles its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It has a wispy tail in place of feet.

The antenna on Dusknoir's head allows it to receive transmissions from the [[Ghost World|spirit world]], which tell it to bring people there. It is unknown if Dusknoir has a will of its own, or if it is forced to follow the bidding of the transmissions it receives. However, [[DP090|the anime]] has also shown it protecting people from being taken to the spirit world. The band on its body can open, similar to a mouth. Dusknoir is capable of using its belly mouth to swallow its target whole. It also uses this ability to take spirits into its body and carry them home or as it travels to unknown places. Dusknoir only consumes spectral essence, leaving only the empty remains of living beings untouched.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the {{jwp|山童|Yamawarawa}} may also have been the inspiration for this Pokémon. Like Dusclops, due to its rotund shape and single eye, it may also be based on the {{wp|Chōchin-obake}}, while it guiding lost spirits to the spirit world is similar to the {{wp|Death (personification)|Grim Reaper}} guiding deceased people to the {{wp|afterlife}}. Its ability to receive transmissions from the world of spirits may be based on paranormal explanations for {{wp|Electronic voice phenomenon#Explanations and origins|electronic voice phenomena}}.

====Name origin====
Dusknoir is a combination of ''{{wp|dusk}}'' and ''{{wp|black|noir}}'' (French for ''black'').

Yonoir is a combination of 妖魔 yōma (ghost) or 夜 ''yoru'' (night) and ''noir''.

List of Pokémon with unique type combinations

2020-07-31T12:48:26Z

Volt1: /* Trivia */

This is a '''list of Pokémon with unique type combinations''' across the [[generation]]s. A Pokémon qualifies as having a unique [[type]] combination if no other Pokémon aside from any evolutionary relatives has that type combination. Since the game rarely makes a distinction between a Pokémon's first and second types when calculating damage, this list does not consider every permutation of types, but instead considers only combinations. In other words, Pokémon such as {{p|Spiritomb}} (a {{2t|Ghost|Dark}}-type Pokémon) and {{p|Sableye}} (a {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}-type Pokémon) are treated as having the same type combination.

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Tangrowth}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
Tangela is a Pokémon covered by blue, seaweed-like vines that obscure its face. There is a small opening in the vines that reveals its eyes surrounded by a black space. The vines give Tangela a round shape, but it is unknown what it looks like without them. Its vines are covered in fine hair and are always growing. If damaged or lost, replacements are grown. There is a pair of red boot-like feet poking out from under the vines, but no visible arms.

Tangela can ensnare and entangle anything that moves too close to it with its vines. The vines constantly jiggle and sway, unnerving enemies and causing a tickling sensation if ensnared. Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, so it can quickly escape. Tangela's entire body is covered with vines so its true form remains a mystery. The vines of Tangela are said to have a distinct scent. in [[Galar]], its vines are used as herbs. Tangela can usually be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a name derived from the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa}}.

===Origin===
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under its {{wp|vine}}s, it may be based on the {{wp|swamp monster}} from the short story "{{wp|It! (short story)|It!}}" by {{wp|Theodore Sturgeon}}. In addition, it may also be inspired by the Sargassum seaweed monsters written by the English writer {{wp|William Hope Hodgson}}, which inspired monsters in Japanese pop culture.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|Selaginella lepidophylla}}'', a plant that forms {{wp|tumbleweed}}s; and {{wp|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}. In addition, it may be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.

Its [[Pokédex]] entries state that its vines will entangled with its surroundings. This may be a reference to {{wp|thigmotropism}}, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.

====Name origin====
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''-ella'' (A common suffix used in botany).

Monjara may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (''shaggy'' or ''unkempt'') or 毛むくじゃら ''kemukujara'' (''hairy'' or ''densely covered in thick hair''). It may also include ''monster''.

'''Volcarona''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウルガモス''' ''Ulgamoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvesta}} starting at [[level]] 59.

==Biology==
Volcarona is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four small feet. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of blue, and there is a red horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.

Volcarona releases burning scales from its wings to engulf the battlefield in a sea of fire. Volcarona's flames are said to provide a replacement for the sun when the atmosphere is dark with volcanic ash, and some legends claim that it hatched from a cocoon of flame to save people and Pokémon in freezing climates. It was feared as the "rage of the sun" by ancient people, and it was even worshipped as a deity of fire in some places. Volcarona's shrine in [[Relic Castle]] remains as a testament to the respect it commanded.

Volcarona is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

==Trivia==
* Volcarona shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|cecropia moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame", which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may also have been inspired by {{wp|Mothra}}, a famous {{wp|Kaiju}}.

It may be also based on a {{wp|solar deity}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The black spots on its wings may also represent the {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

In addition, Volcarona's appearance may be loosely based on a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.

====Name origin====
Volcarona is a combination of ''volcano'' and ''{{wp|corona}}'', referring to its {{t|Fire}} type and status as the Sun Pokémon. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}'', the {{wp|Religion in ancient Rome|Roman god}} of fire.

Ulgamoth is a combination of ウルカヌス ''Urukanusu'' ({{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}), 蛾 ''ga'' (moth), and ''moth''.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=bug|type2=fire

'''Spinarak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イトマル''' ''Itomaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ariados}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Spinarak is a green Pokémon that resembles a spider. It has black eyes with white pupils, a white horn on its forehead, and a pair of red {{wp|Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)|mandibles}}. On the back of its abdomen are two black dots and a line that resemble a face; the face on its back can change expression, as seen in the [[EP123|anime]] and 3D video games. There is an additional line encircling the end of its abdomen. It has three pairs of yellow legs, each with a black band around the middle.

Spinarak is a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] that lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate and tropical forests}}. It spins webs that are strong enough to withstand having stones set on them and act as nets for fishermen. A patient hunter, it can wait for days for prey to become ensnared in its web. It senses what kind of prey has been caught by the vibrations in the web and its preferred prey is {{p|Cutiefly}}. Its poison is not very strong, but is potent enough to weaken caught prey. Spinarak and its evolved form {{p|Ariados}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Toxic Thread}}. In the past, this was also true of {{m|Spider Web}}.

As seen in the anime, silk produced by a Spinarak is often used for facial treatments, as well as patching up skin wounds.

==Trivia==
* Spinarak can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Ledyba}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Spinarak is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, while Ledyba is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}. Spinarak are nocturnal, while Ledyba are matutinal. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Spinarak being more common in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, and Ledyba in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}. Both were also added to the expanded {{safari|Hoenn}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, and both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black, and White|s}}. Additionally, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]] its {{p|Ariados|evolution}} swarms on {{rt|22|Unova}} while {{p|Ledian|Ledyba's evolution}} does so in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]].

===Origin===
Spinarak may be based on the {{wp|Trichonephila clavata|Jorō spider}}, a spider with similar coloring found throughout Japan. The face-like marking on its back has however given rise to a number of other theories, including the {{wp|Theridion grallator|happy face spider}}, an arachnid from Hawaii with similar coloring and a face-like marking on its abdomen. It could also be based on any number of spiders with face-like markings, including the Asian {{wp|Araneus mitificus|kidney garden spider}}, whose markings appear as a frowning face like most of Spinarak's official artwork; or some {{wp|jumping spider}}s, which have a similar build to Spinarak but do not spin webs.

====Name origin====
Spinarak may be a combination of ''{{wp|Spinneret (spider)|spinneret}}'' or the verb ''spin'' and ''{{wp|arachnid}}''. ''Spinnerak'' is also the {{wp|Afrikaans}} word for ''spider web''.

Itomaru may be a combination of 糸 ''ito'' (thread) and 丸 ''maru'' (circle) or a shortening of 巻き上がる ''makiagaru'' (to roll up).

'''Krookodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワルビアル''' ''Waruvial'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 40. It is the final form of {{p|Sandile}}.

==Biology==
Krookodile has a thick maroon-colored body, black back, and white stomach. It has five triangular spikes on its back: four around the middle of its back, and one large one at the beginning of its tail. Each of the smaller spikes on its back are linked to black, triangular spikes that reach around to its front, slightly overlapping its white stomach. The largest spike sits at the beginning of its long thick tail, which has three, thick, black stripes. The last stripe covers the tip of the tail. Its legs are very short and directly attached to its feet. The feet are wrapped in black and have three white claws facing forward. Krookodile's arms are short and thin with a black stripe around the elbow. Its long, thin fingers are each tipped with a white claw.

Its head is slightly pointed and contains a distinctive black membrane that surrounds both eyes. The outline of the membrane angles upward sharply, coming to points above the top of Krookodile's head. It uses this distinctive look to harshly intimidate opponents. Its eyes are very powerful, with variable focus, allowing it to see things at a great distance. Its other notable feature is its long snout, containing a black stripe around the bridge, and large pointed nostrils on the end. Four of its rear and two of its front teeth slightly overlap its lower jaw. Krookodile's jaws are extremely powerful, giving it the ability to crush objects as large and durable as an automobile. These features are topped by Krookodile's extremely violent temper. It has been known to clamp down on any moving object, and will do everything it can to make sure its prey cannot escape. Krookodile coexist well with {{p|Flygon}} in searching for food.

Krookodile has been known as the "Bully of the Sands". It uses the sandy terrain as cover to patiently wait for prey to pass by, even throughout the day without rest. Not even a thick metal plate is able to withstand a Krookodile's strong jaw bite.

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Rumble Blast}}: Krookodile is one of the first of {{p|Cobalion}}'s minions that the player encounters. It stole all of [[Toy Town]] and [[Easterly Town]]'s [[Glowdrop]]s, then was beaten by the player in the {{DL|Sun-Dappled Bank|Mysterious Fort}}. It was later seen in the World Axle Front, where it is [[Rusty Pokémon|rusted]] like the rest of Cobalion's army.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{OBP|Krookodile|Super Mystery Dungeon}} is a local gangster in [[Lively Town]]. When warning letters start appearing around town stating that [[Legendary Pokémon]] are the targets of petrification incidents and that {{p|Entei}} would be the next target, the [[Expedition Society]] soon suspects Krookodile is behind the incidents. After the player, partner, and {{p|Archen}} pursue Krookodile to the top of [[Revelation Mountain]], it is revealed that it was a trap set up by Nuzleaf and that he paid Krookodile to write the letters. Nuzleaf then summons {{p|Yveltal}} and the two of them turn everyone, including Krookodile, to stone.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Krookodile and its pre-evolved forms.
* Krookodile is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 519.

===Origin===
Like Sandile, Krookodile is also based on {{wp|crocodilia}}ns, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|spectacled caiman}}. Krookodile also seems to be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a crocodilian, and possibly a {{wp|gharial}}, due to its long snout.

In line with its {{t|Dark}} [[type]] and names, it may also be based on a gang leader or simply a criminal, as the markings around its eyes bear great resemblance to triangular sunglasses, which are associated with manga and anime criminals. It could also be a reference to {{wp|Sobek}}, a half-crocodile deity also associated with violence and even robbery.

====Name origin====
Krookodile is a combination of corruptions of ''crook'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waruvial is a combination of 悪い ''warui'' (bad/evil) and ''{{wp|gavial}}''.

'''Volcarona''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウルガモス''' ''Ulgamoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvesta}} starting at [[level]] 59.

==Biology==
Volcarona is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four small feet. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of blue, and there is a red horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.

Volcarona releases burning scales from its wings to engulf the battlefield in a sea of fire. Volcarona's flames are said to provide a replacement for the sun when the atmosphere is dark with volcanic ash, and some legends claim that it hatched from a flaming cocoon to save people and Pokémon in freezing climates. It was feared as the "rage of the sun" by ancient people, and it was even worshipped in some places; Volcarona's shrine in [[Relic Castle]] remains as a testament to this.

Volcarona has been depicted in ancient paintings as a fire god.

Volcarona is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===

However, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Brycen]] tried to stop Rizzo from doing so. They had a {{pkmn|battle}}, where Brycen eventually defeated Rizzo's {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}, and then freed the Sun Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Volcarona shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|cecropia moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame", which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may also have been inspired by {{wp|Mothra}}, a famous {{wp|Kaiju}}.

It may be also based on a {{wp|solar deity}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The black spots on its wings may also represent the {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

In addition, Volcarona's appearance may be loosely based on a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.

====Name origin====
Volcarona is a combination of ''volcano'' and ''{{wp|corona}}'', referring to its {{t|Fire}} type and status as the Sun Pokémon. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}'', the {{wp|Religion in ancient Rome|Roman god}} of fire.

Ulgamoth is a combination of ウルカヌス ''Urukanusu'' ({{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}), 蛾 ''ga'' (moth), and ''moth''.

==Trivia==
* Heat Wave's association with the {{t|Flying}} type, as evident from the many Flying-type Pokémon capable of learning the move, is more apparent in the Japanese versions, where it is known as 「ねっぷう」 ''Hot Wind''.
*Prior to Generation VI, this move and {{m|Ominous Wind}} had the same in-game animation, the only difference being the color.
**Similarly, in Generation III its animation was very similar to {{m|Sandstorm}}'s, the differences being the color and the effect on the targets' sprites.

==In the anime==
[[File:Thunder Stone BW135.png|thumb|250px|A Thunder Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Thunder Stone debuted in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', when [[Nurse Joy]] gave {{Ash}} a Thunder Stone so that he could evolve his {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to defeat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}. Pikachu, however, refused the offer. Ash kept the Thunder Stone in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve; however, in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', a similar scenario occurred and Pikachu still refused to evolve. Seeing his determination to not evolve, {{TRT}} stole the stone, planning to sell it.

In ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', the Thunder Stone appeared as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Two of the Eevee brothers offered a [[Fire Stone]] and Thunder Stone to {{an|Brock}} and Ash to evolve their respective {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and Pikachu, though both refused.

An image of a Thunder Stone appeared in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' during Brock's explanation on how evolution works.

Ash had to find a Thunder Stone in a scavenger hunt as part of the [[Wishing Bell Festival]] contest in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''. He came across a young man in possession of one who tried to toss it to him from a long distance. The Thunder Stone nearly came in contact with Pikachu but he jumped out of the way just in time, leaving Ash to catch it.

''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' featured the Thunder Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of [[Generation V]].

A Thunder Stone appeared in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'' as a part of {{an|Clemont}}'s explanation of how evolution works, Pikachu's evolution into Raichu working as an example of stone-induced evolution.

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Evolutionary stones EToP.png|thumb|250px|Evolution stones in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' was Evolution stones, including the Thunder Stone.
{{-}}

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Evolution stones Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Thunder Stone in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told {{adv|Yellow}} about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]]'s evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild {{p|Tentacruel}}, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that {{adv|Giovanni}} had given them to {{adv|Red}} so he could freely evolve and [[devolution|devolve]] his [[Vee|Eevee]].
{{-}}

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[File:Thunder Stone Zensho.png|thumb|150px|A Thunder Stone in Pokémon Zensho]]
In ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} used a Thunder Stone to evolve itself into a {{p|Raichu}} before Satoshi left to challenge the [[Elite Four]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Through {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Evolution stone bypassing|a glitch}} in the Generation I games, Pokémon that would normally require an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Thunderstone, this Pokémon is {{p|Growlithe}}.

'''Volcarona''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウルガモス''' ''Ulgamoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvesta}} starting at [[level]] 59.

==Biology==
Volcarona is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four small feet. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of blue, and there is a red horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.

Volcarona releases burning scales from its wings to engulf the battlefield in a sea of fire. Volcarona's flames are said to provide a replacement for the sun when the atmosphere is dark with volcanic ash, and some legends claim that it hatched from a flaming cocoon to save people and Pokémon in freezing climates. It was feared as the "rage of the sun" by ancient people, and it was even worshipped in some places; Volcarona's shrine in [[Relic Castle]] remains as a testament to this.

Volcarona has been depicted in ancient paintings as a fire god.

Volcarona is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Volcarona shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|cecropia moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame", which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may also have been inspired by {{wp|Mothra}}, a famous {{wp|Kaiju}}.

It may be also based on a {{wp|solar deity}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The black spots on its wings may also represent the {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

In addition, Volcarona's appearance may be loosely based on a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.

====Name origin====
Volcarona is a combination of ''volcano'' and ''{{wp|corona}}'', referring to its {{t|Fire}} type and status as the Sun Pokémon. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}'', the {{wp|Religion in ancient Rome|Roman god}} of fire.

Ulgamoth is a combination of ウルカヌス ''Urukanusu'' ({{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}), 蛾 ''ga'' (moth), and ''moth''.

'''Volcarona''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウルガモス''' ''Ulgamoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvesta}} starting at [[level]] 59.

==Biology==
Volcarona is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four small feet. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of blue, and there is a red horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.

Volcarona releases burning scales from its wings to engulf the battlefield in a sea of fire. Volcarona's flames are said to provide a replacement for the sun when the atmosphere is dark with volcanic ash, and some legends claim that it hatched from a flaming cocoon to save people and Pokémon in freezing climates. It was feared as the "rage of the sun" by ancient people, and it was even worshipped in some places; Volcarona's shrine in [[Relic Castle]] remains as a testament to this.

Volcarona has been depicted in ancient paintings as a sun god.

Volcarona is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===

====Major appearances====
Volcarona made its main series debut in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'', where a {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon hunter}} named [[Rizzo]] attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Brycen]] tried to stop Rizzo from doing so. They had a {{pkmn|battle}}, where Brycen eventually defeated Rizzo's {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}, and then freed the Sun Pokémon.

Volcarona debuted in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

==Trivia==
* Volcarona shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|cecropia moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame", which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may also have been inspired by {{wp|Mothra}}, a famous {{wp|Kaiju}}.

It may be also based on a {{wp|solar deity}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The black spots on its wings may also represent the {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

In addition, Volcarona's appearance may be loosely based on a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.

====Name origin====
Volcarona is a combination of ''volcano'' and ''{{wp|corona}}'', referring to its {{t|Fire}} type and status as the Sun Pokémon. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}'', the {{wp|Religion in ancient Rome|Roman god}} of fire.

Ulgamoth is a combination of ウルカヌス ''Urukanusu'' ({{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}), 蛾 ''ga'' (moth), and ''moth''.

'''Exeggutor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナッシー''' ''Nassy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Exeggcute}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Exeggutor has a {{2t|Grass|Dragon}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves from {{p|Exeggcute}} when exposed to a Leaf Stone. All Exeggcute in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Exeggutor is a tall, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a palm tree. Its body and legs are light brown with thin black rings and its legs are thick with two-toed feet. There light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside. It has thin, green leaves sprouting from the top of its body. Exeggutor has three to six round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with differing facial expressions.

Each head thinks independently of the others, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. If all the heads want to go in a different direction, its body is unable to move. They are able to communicate telepathically as well and sometimes use it to come to a joint decision. It uses psychic powers to fight, and since all three heads are capable its power is tripled. If one of these heads grows too large, it falls off and groups back together to become an {{p|Exeggcute}}. [[EP043|In the anime]], Exeggutor also has been seen in groups of its own kind, meaning that it is not a solitary Pokémon. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Exeggutor is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and jungles}}.

Due to the abundance of sunlight in the Alola region, Exeggutor grows over five times taller than in other regions. Its neck is thinner and much longer, causing it to more resemble a {{wp|arecaceae|palm tree}}. This variant of Exeggutor has a long, tapering tail with two leaves, and a fourth light green head on the tip. This extra head can act on its own and defend the rear. <ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-exeggutor/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Exeggutor]</ref> Its long neck can be used like a whip to attack enemies with its hard head. However, its neck can also be a weak point as it will become dizzy swinging it around. Its increased height reduced its need for a psychic defense and has instead awakened draconic powers. The people of Alola claim that Alolan Exeggutor is this Pokémon's true form. Ancient carvings and murals depict this Pokémon. Its extra height makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Dragon}}, as well as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Grass}}.

Exeggutor and its pre-evolved form are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Barrage}}. Alolan Exeggutor is also the only known Pokémon that can learn {{m|Dragon Hammer}}.

Ash's {{p|Charmander}} evolved into {{AP|Charmeleon}} after defeating several Exeggutor, with some help from [[Melvin]]'s fire power. Later on, Ash's {{p|Krabby}} evolved into {{AP|Kingler}} after defeating [[Mandi]]'s Exeggutor in the first round of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
* Exeggutor is [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]]'s favorite Pokémon. He used it all throughout the debugging and testing of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.{{fact}}
* {{rf|Alolan}} Exeggutor was created by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=USUM>Interview with [[Ken Sugimori]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]</ref>
* The artwork for the Japanese [[Jungle (TCG)]] booster box depicts Exeggutor with an elongated body and no visible legs.
* Aside from special badges, Alolan Exeggutor's is the only mega badge in the [[Nintendo Badge Arcade]].
* Alolan Exeggutor is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon that can breed which is not in the [[Dragon Egg Group]].
* Alolan Exeggutor is the tallest Grass-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Exeggutor appears to be based on a {{wp|coconut}} tree and possibly the Japanese monster {{wp|Jinmenju}}, a tree that grows human heads that are always smiling. It might also be inspired by a {{wp|yucca}} plant, with its bulky trunk and blade-like leaves.

{{rf|Alolan}} Exeggutor more closely resembles a coconut tree or {{wp|Arecaceae|palm}} tree. Its {{t|Dragon}} typing may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Dracaena}}'' genus of trees. It may also be a pun inspired by the {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Physical representations|Coca}}, a dragon whose name shares the same origins as the word ''coconut''.

====Name origin====
Exeggutor may be a combination of ''egg'' and ''executor''.

Nassy is derived from ココナッツ ''kokonattsu'' (coconuts) and 椰子 ''yashi'' (palm tree).

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

==In the anime==
===History===
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
[[File:Ash Froakie Egg.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's Egg]]
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]]. It then learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Froakie sat at the sidelines to help cheer on Ash during his gym battle. Later on, he sensed Team Rocket's presence and stopped them in their tracks with his frubbles. Froakie used blocked Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball and Inkay's Psybeam.

[[File:Ash Frogadier.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Frogadier]]
In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Here Comes Ash Greninja 3DS theme.png|thumb|200px|A [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]] featuring Greninja]]
* With Froakie, this is the first time that Ash catches a [[starter Pokémon]] as his first Pokémon in a [[region]].
** Greninja is also the first of Ash's first regional catches that is not a {{2t|Normal|Flying}} dual-type since {{AP|Heracross}}, as well as the only one that is incapable of flying.
* Greninja is Ash's first Pokémon to be owned by more than one Trainer before him.
* In the dub of ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Ash implied that Greninja is male by calling it a "he".
* Greninja is the first {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to have ever [[Evolution|evolved]] under Ash's ownership.
** Greninja is also the first fully evolved Water-type starter Pokémon owned by a main character.
** As a Froakie, Greninja was also Ash's first Water-type to evolve under his ownership since ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', 776 episodes earlier, when {{p|Krabby}} evolved into {{AP|Kingler}}.

* Greninja is the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to have its Egg revealed on-screen.
* In the original Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Frogadier, as a Froakie in a dream, spoke in archaic Japanese, a trope common among ninjas in modern Japanese fiction.
* When Greninja evolved from Frogadier in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', it evolved in a similar situation to when it evolved from Froakie in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sanpei]]'s Greninja already hurt by the enemy and were laying down in defeat.
** The episode in which Frogadier evolved into Greninja aired in Japan almost exactly a year after the episode in which it evolved from Froakie to Frogadier (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).

==In the anime==
===History===
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
[[File:Ash Froakie Egg.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's Egg]]
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]]. It then learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In ''[[XY043|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Froakie sat at the sidelines to help cheer on Ash during his gym battle. Later on, he sensed Team Rocket's presence and stopped them in their tracks with his frubbles. Froakie used blocked Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball and Inkay's Psybeam.

[[File:Ash Frogadier.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Frogadier]]
In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==In the anime==
===History===
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
[[File:Ash Froakie Egg.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's Egg]]
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]]. It then learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In ''[[XY043|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Froakie sat at the sidelines to help cheer on Ash during his gym battle. Later on, he sensed Team Rocket's presence and, alongside Serena's Fennekin and Clemont's Chespin, thwarted their plans of stealing Pikachu and Lucario and sent the trio blasting off once again.

[[File:Ash Frogadier.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Frogadier]]
In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Druddigon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クリムガン''' ''Crimgan'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
Druddigon is a large, blue, draconic Pokémon with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves. Its bright red head is harder than rock and is very rough. It has a set of glaring, ferocious pale yellow irises. Its arms are longer than its legs, giving it the appearance of a hunchback. It has a thick, moderately-sized tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. It also has tall, conical, red spikes; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws. It has a series of olive, ellipsoid scutes running across its belly.

Druddigon warms its body by taking in sunlight with its wings; if its body temperature lowers, it becomes immobile. It has savage physical strength; it nimbly chases prey around its den, using its outstretched claws to catch them, or charging into them face-first. It infiltrates the tunnels of other Pokémon, such as {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, and waits for its prey to pass by. Druddigon lives in caves, and is carnivorous.

==Trivia==
* Druddigon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Gabite}}. They are both known as the Cave Pokémon.

===Origin===
Druddigon appears to be based on the {{wp|Agama agama|red-headed rock agama}}. Its natural appearance and cave-dwelling behavior also seem to resemble a {{wp|European dragon}}. Druddigon's grotesque appearance and ability to become immobile when cold is reminiscent of {{wp|gargoyle}}s and {{wp|troll}}s, both of which turn to stone under certain conditions.

====Name origin====
Druddigon may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''ruddy'' (reddish in color). The name also appears to show Welsh influences. These include the ''dd'', a common digraph in the Welsh language, and the ending ''-igon'' being comparable to Welsh ''-igion''. Wales has also had a long association with dragons, with one being featured on its flag. "Drudd" may also be a corruption of "dread", due to Druddigon's fearsome appearance and strength.

Crimgan may be a combination of ''crimson'' and 顔 ''gan'' (face) or 岩 ''gan'' (rock).

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Muk has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Poison|Dark}}. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. It has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While it has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, it typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand.

It is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with this Pokémon, as an accidental brush up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. In dirty residential areas where people throw trash into the streets, it is almost certain to appear. It will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. It can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}}. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts, leading some to believe that it will go extinct at some point. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction.

Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, yellow, and blue. The green, yellow, and pink colors are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. Like Alolan Grimer, it has various white crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue pupils, black coloring behind its eyes, and a light blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body; these same chemical changes are thought to be the cause of its unending hunger. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons.

It's unexpectedly quiet and friendly, but if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. This variant of Muk does not produce the foul stench that the standard version is infamous for.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref> Alolan Muk preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}} and the others when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not, similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its Ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk shares similar traits to {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Muk being water pollution.
** Because of this, Muk (along with Weezing and Garbodor), forms the fan-made "Pollution Trio".
* Alolan Muk and its Alolan pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].
* Muk is one of two Pokémon to have the shortest English Pokémon name, {{p|Mew}} being the other.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Muk may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

Alolan Muk may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors it produces when it mixes with water. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to the ecosystem of the world's oceans (a particular danger in Hawaii, which Alola is based on).

====Name origin====
Muk is a corruption of ''muck'' (generally something filthy).

Betbeton may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' (sticky) and ton.

'''Fire Punch''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのパンチ''' ''Flame Punch'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM48]] in [[Generation II]], losing its TM status from [[Generation II]] through [[Generation VI]] before returning as [[TM31]] in [[Generation VII]].

==Effect==
Fire Punch does damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|burn}}ing the opponent.

Fire Punch can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining four more appeal points if the move {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}} or {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

'''Fire Punch''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのパンチ''' ''Flame Punch'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM48]] in [[Generation II]], losing its TM status from [[Generation II]] through [[Generation VI]] before returning as [[TM31]] in [[Generation VII]].

==Effect==
Fire Punch does damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|burn}}ing the opponent.

Fire Punch can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining four more appeal points if the move {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}} or {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Muk has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Poison|Dark}}. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. It has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While it has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, it typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand.

It is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with this Pokémon, as an accidental brush up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. In dirty residential areas where people throw trash into the streets, it is almost certain to appear. It will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. It can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}}. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts, leading some to believe that it will go extinct at some point. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction.

Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, yellow, and blue. The green, yellow, and pink colors are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. Like Alolan Grimer, it has various white crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue pupils, black coloring behind its eyes, and a light blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body; these same chemical changes are thought to be the cause of its unending hunger. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons.

It's unexpectedly quiet and friendly, but if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. This variant of Muk does not produce the foul stench that the standard version is infamous for.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref> Alolan Muk preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}} and the others when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not, similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its Ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk shares similar traits to {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Muk being water pollution.
* Alolan Muk and its Alolan pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].
* Muk is one of two Pokémon to have the shortest English Pokémon name, {{p|Mew}} being the other.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Muk may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

Alolan Muk may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors it produces when it mixes with water. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to the ecosystem of the world's oceans (a particular danger in Hawaii, which Alola is based on).

====Name origin====
Muk is a corruption of ''muck'' (generally something filthy).

Betbeton may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' (sticky) and ton.

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Muk has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Poison|Dark}}. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. It has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While it has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, it typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand.

It is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with this Pokémon, as an accidental brush up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. In dirty residential areas where people throw trash into the streets, it is almost certain to appear. It will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. It can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}}. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts, leading some to believe that it will go extinct at some point. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction.

Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, yellow, and blue. The green, yellow, and pink colors are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. Like Alolan Grimer, it has various white crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue pupils, black coloring behind its eyes, and a light blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body; these same chemical changes are thought to be the cause of its unending hunger. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons.

It's unexpectedly quiet and friendly, but if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. This variant of Muk does not produce the foul stench that the standard version is infamous for.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref> Alolan Muk preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}} and the others when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not, similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its Ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk shares similar traits to {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Muk being water pollution.
* Alolan Muk and its Alolan pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].
* Muk is one of two Pokémon to have the shortest English Pokémon name, {{p|Mew}} being the other.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Muk may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

Alolan Muk may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors it produces when it mixes with water. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to the ecosystem of the world's oceans (a particular danger in Hawaii, which Alola is based on).

====Name origin====
Muk is a corruption of ''muck'' (generally something filthy).

Betbeton may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' (sticky) and ton.

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Muk has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Poison|Dark}}. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. It has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While it has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, it typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand.

It is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with this Pokémon, as an accidental brush up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. In dirty residential areas where people throw trash into the streets, it is almost certain to appear. It will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. It can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}}. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts, leading some to believe that it will go extinct at some point. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction.

Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, yellow, and blue. The green, yellow, and pink colors are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. Like Alolan Grimer, it has various white crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue pupils, black coloring behind its eyes, and a light blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body; these same chemical changes are thought to be the cause of its unending hunger. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons.

It's unexpectedly quiet and friendly, but if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. This variant of Muk does not produce the foul stench that the standard version is infamous for.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref> Alolan Muk preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.

==Trivia==
* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}} and the others when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not, similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its Ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Muk shares similar traits to {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Muk being water pollution.
* Alolan Muk and its Alolan pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].
* Muk is one of two Pokémon to have the shortest English Pokémon name, {{p|Mew}} being the other.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Muk may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

Alolan Muk may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors it produces when it mixes with water. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to the ecosystem of the world's oceans (a particular danger in Hawaii, which Alola is based on).

====Name origin====
Muk is a corruption of ''muck'' (generally something filthy).

Betbeton may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' (sticky) and ton.

[[File:Unova 2.png|thumb|250px|In-game map of the Unova region from Black 2 and White 2]]
The '''Unova''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ地方''' ''Isshu-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. It is far away from the four other large regions, and the Pokémon which inhabit Unova are diverse and different from those of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. In his director's column, [[Junichi Masuda]] suggested that the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=242 Hidden Power of Masuda: Director's Columns]</ref><ref>"This new region was inspired by New York's Manhattan. I visited New York when Diamond and Pearl launched and I had the chance to wander around the town. When I walked through the streets, I saw a lot of different people having festivals and community events—Italian people, French people—they're coming from different countries and coexisting in one community", [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] Issue 65 page 30.</ref> Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Unova's Japanese name, イッシュ ''Isshu'', is derived from the Japanese word for "one variety", '''一種''' ''isshu'', or '''１種類''' ''isshurui''. According to the game director Masuda, this is to express that although the region is diverse in species and race, they are all the same as living creatures when seen from a distance.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html</ref>

The region's English name likely comes from the Latin words ''unum'' (one) and ''nova'' (new). It may also be derived from ''united'', considering its basis on the largest city in the United States. It also sounds like parts of the phrase '''Un'''ited States '''of''' '''A'''merica.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova}}
Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==
[[File:Unova world map.png|200px|thumb|Location of Unova in the [[Pokémon world]], according to the anime]]
===Mythological events===
In mythology, Unova was created by uniting the warring peoples of the land by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]]. They used a single dragon sometime more than 2500 years ago. The brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Their arguments split the single dragon into {{p|Reshiram}}, who sided with the older brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother. Since they were both born from the same dragon neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the Unova region with their {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|lightning}} powers before disappearing.

Sometime after the original dragon had been split into Reshiram and Zekrom, one of the two brothers and their respective dragon created the Relic Castle, which was the seat of a new civilization for people and Pokémon.

Also at an unknown point in the distant past, a civil war broke out in Unova that caused an intense forest fire. The many Pokémon that lived in the forest became trapped, though luckily the [[Swords of Justice]] came in to save them—{{p|Terrakion}} moved away boulders that blocked their escape route, {{p|Virizion}} used its nimble movements to protect Pokémon from looming flames, and {{p|Cobalion}} led the scared Pokémon out of the forest. These Pokémon would later become responsible for ending the war before disappearing into myths.

According to [[Lacunosa Town]] legend, a long time ago, a large meteor came from the sky containing a {{p|Kyurem|terrifying monster}}. It was said that at night, the monster would appear in the town along with the cold winds and take away [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to eat them. The residents of the town surrounded Lacunosa Town in a wall to keep the monster out, and a rule was then set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving at night and encouraged people to stay in their homes. While residents no longer believe this old story, they still stay inside of their houses at night to this day. The legendary monster, Kyurem, was really a remaining third Pokémon created when the primordial dragon had split into two.

A legend says {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} once raced across Unova, tearing up the lands with their respective weather-controlling powers, not caring about settlements and creatures in their path. {{p|Landorus}}, seeing the massive destruction the pair had brought to the region and its inhabitants, is said to have punished them so that they would never repeat their actions.

{{p|Meloetta}} once entertained the people of Unova with song and dance, but when sorrow filled the hearts of people, Meloetta lost this melody and its red shoes.

===Dated history===
* 3,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] were created.
* 2,500 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the [[Relic Castle]] was flourishing and the {{p|Darmanitan}} in front of it went to {{status|sleep}}.
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, an ultra-rich family purchased and named [[Liberty Garden]].
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, [[Village Bridge]] was constructed after the local river burst its banks, flooding the settlement that stood there previously.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the warehouses of [[Nacrene City]] were constructed.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Klink}} started appearing in [[Chargestone Cave]].
* 50 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Elgyem}} was seen for the first time when it appeared from far in the [[desert]].

===Contemporary history===
{{spoilers}}
====Pokémon Black and White====
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|280px|Unova in Black and White]]
In contemporary history, a present containing three [[starter Pokémon]]—one each for [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Hilda}}/{{ga|Hilbert}}—was sent to Hilda/Hilbert's house in [[Nuvema Town]] by [[Professor Juniper]] on their mothers' request, so that they could each start their Pokémon journeys through the Unova region, challenging each of Unova's eight Gyms in order to collect Badges and eventually reach the {{un|Pokémon League}}. During their travels, Hilda/Hilbert met and battled with the members of [[Team Plasma]] many times, including their king, [[N]], and encountered the mysterious [[Shadow Triad]], with events coming to a head at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where N managed to capture one of the members of the [[Tao trio]] and invited Hilda/Hilbert to face him after they had beaten the Pokémon League and resurrected the complementary dragon from the {{key|V|Light Stone}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{key|V|Dark Stone}}{{sup/5|W}}. On retrieving the appropriate stone from [[Nacrene Museum]] and defeating the [[Elite Four]], Hilda/Hilbert reached the Champion's room, where N was waiting for them, having just defeated [[Alder|the Champion]]. N then summoned [[N's Castle|his castle]], which rose out of the earth surrounding the Pokémon League; Team Plasma had been working tirelessly for years prior to build the fortress around the Pokémon League right under their nose, overworking the Pokémon gifted to them by Trainers they had emotionally manipulated into doing so for this purpose. N then invites Hilda/Hilbert into the castle to battle him in order to test the strength of their convictions.

On entering the castle, Hilda/Hilbert are ambushed by all of the [[Seven Sages]] (except [[Ghetsis]]), who planned to defeat them so that their king's reign would be unopposed. Fortunately, Bianca arrived, bringing all the [[Gym Leader]]s of the region that she was able find with her (which includes all of them except for [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], whom Bianca claimed she could not contact in time). The Gym Leaders then opted to engage the Seven Sages in battle on Hilda/Hilbert's behalf, so that they were able to ascend through the castle and defeat N. Eventually, Hilda/Hilbert reached Team Plasma's King in the throne room, where N summoned his member of the Tao trio, who subsequently came crashing through the farthest wall of the room. The presence of Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} then activated the player's dormant stone, which emerged from the [[Bag]] and transformed into its counterpart, Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|B}}. The latter then allowed Hilda/Hilbert to attempt to capture them and after doing so, Hilda/Hilbert proceeded to defeat N in the ensuing battle.

N's loss to his opponent caused Ghetsis to storm into the room in rage, insisting that N was a complete failure and a freak and revealing his true motivation for Team Plasma. By separating all other Pokémon from their Trainers, while Team Plasma retained their own, he, as leader of the group (acting through N), would have been left in a position of power from which he could have dominated the world. However, his delusions of grandeur were cut short by his defeat in a final Pokémon battle at the hands of Hilda/Hilbert followed by his arrest.

N, however, was not arrested and subsequently flew from the land on Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} in order to do some soul searching in light of Ghetsis's revelations. He was not seen again in Unova, but there is a rumor that someone with a strong resemblance to N was spotted somewhere in a far-off region. Hilda/Hilbert then continued the rest of their journey, managing to also cover eastern Unova, (becoming the first person to successfully operate the [[Poké Transfer]]), locate and aid in the arrest of the remaining Seven Sages and eventually defeat the Pokémon League Champion themselves.

====Between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
During the two years between the events of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, construction of [[Unova Route 4|the road]] between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]] through the [[desert]] was either completed and a small settlement was established on this road{{sup/5|B2}}, or abandoned after ancient ruins were discovered in the sand and excavated{{sup/5|W2}}. The [[gate]] between {{rt|4|Unova}} and Nimbasa City was expanded into [[Join Avenue]]. The construction in the south of [[Driftveil City]] was completed, with the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] taking the place of the [[Cold Storage]]. The [[Entralink]]'s moat was drained or dried up, and a different type of Entree now grows in the center. A section was taken out of a mountain to the east, with [[Lentimas Town]] built in the new space.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]].

Furthermore, {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} has collapsed. As a result, {{rt|10|Unova}} is closed and replaced by another path, {{rt|22|Unova}} and {{rt|23|Unova}}.

Additionally, the coastline of Unova has changed between the games.

As revealed via [[Memory Link]], Ghetsis reforms Team Plasma during this period.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]]{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]].

After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

One thousand years ago, the [[King of the People of the Vale]]'s sons, the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals]], fought over the [[Dragon Force]] contained within the castle, causing the Dragon Force to corrupt the land beneath the Kingdom of Vale. The king used the power of {{OBP|Victini|M14}} and hundreds of {{p|Solosis}} and {{p|Duosion}} to move the castle, containing all of the People of the Vale, to the top of a mountain. The castle now stands near [[Eindoak Town]].

===Routes===
Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.

In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.

==Geography==
[[File:Unova PG.png|thumb|250px|Unova in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges, the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon league since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.

Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.

===Climate===
{{main|Seasons}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.

Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

==Unova League==
{{main|Unova League}}
The Unova League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Unova region. After obtaining the eight Badges of the region a Trainer may battle the [[Elite Four]] at the {{un|Pokémon League}} building.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Santalune City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Tierno.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Ash]]
Tierno debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' along with {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}, and his {{p|Squirtle}}. He first had a battle against a Trainer's {{p|Conkeldurr}} and won. Later that episode, he battled [[Ash's Froakie]]. During his battle with Ash, he revealed that he dreams of forming a dance unit with his Pokémon.

In ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', Tierno, along with Trevor and Shauna, decided to put the race on hold to help Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} find {{an|Bonnie}}. The group later encountered a {{p|Xerneas|mysterious Pokémon with an X mark}} on their way back to the camp. Although they arrived too late at the camp to win any points in the race, they declared that helping their friends was totally worth it.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor participated in a [[Multi Battle|Team Battle]] with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Squirtle, and {{p|Charmander}}, respectively. Their opponents were their new friends and rivals, Ash, Serena, and Clemont and their respective [[starter Pokémon]]. Tierno is the last to defeated in the battle, where his Squirtle is defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]]. He also was seen in a flashback in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.

[[File:Pokémon Showcase Glowsticks.png|thumb|250px|Tierno watching a Showcase]]
He appeared again in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Tierno meets Ash during their journey to the [[Lumiose Gym]], he reveals already have had their challenge there, and which also he got the {{badge|Voltage}} in a battle against [[Clembot]]. Soon after, Tierno reveals the Pokémon that he caught after the camp: {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Politoed}}, and {{p|Raichu}}.

Both decide to have a Pokémon battle, however it's interrupted by {{TRT}} which capture [[Ash's Sliggoo]] and Raichu and Wartortle of Tierno. After the group separating, Tierno and Bonnie meet with the lost Pokémon and decide to go help Ash and Serena. During the confrontation with Team Rocket, Tierno witness the evolution of {{p|Sliggoo}} into {{p|Goodra}} and defeating [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon easily. Later, he battled Ash with his {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Raichu}}, who were defeated by Goodra and Pikachu.

He appeared again in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'' where he watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Shauna and Trevor.

Tierno met Ash and {{ashfr}} again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration]]'', where he was accompanying Shauna at the Pokémon Showcase that would be held in [[Anistar City]]. He revealed that his Wartortle had evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}} and that he had tried to battle at the [[Gym]] of the city but lost to the Psychic-type Pokémon from the [[Olympia|Gym Leader]]. Later, Tierno and Ash had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Serena and Shauna which was eventually called off without any Pokémon getting defeated. He then had a battle again only with Ash, but the winner is not shown. He and Shauna remained in the group, with Tierno that assisted the Pokémon Showcase, which Shauna and Serena participated in, that happened in the [[XY091|next episode]] alongside Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Tierno made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class on [[television]] along with Trevor.

[[File:Tierno and Sawyer.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Sawyer]]
Tierno entered the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', in which he was seen talking to Trevor during the opening reception. In the [[XY126|following episode]], he was revealed to have advanced all the way to the quarterfinals, where he was matched against [[Sawyer]].

During the match, Tierno first sent out Ludicolo to battle Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}. He commanded Ludicolo to use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to activate its {{a|Swift Swim}} [[Ability]], but Sawyer's strategy of protecting Aegislash with {{m|King's Shield}} and raising its {{stat|Attack}} with {{m|Swords Dance}} proved successful and Ludicolo was [[Fainting|knocked out]]. After that, Tierno decided to use Raichu, and the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} made quick work of Aegislash with its {{m|Dig}} attack. Sawyer then called out {{p|Slurpuff}} and had it use {{m|Attract}}, {{status|Infatuation|infatuating}} Raichu and prompting Tierno to [[Recall|return it to its Poké Ball]].

After that, Tierno called out Blastoise, and when Slurpuff used Attract again, it had no effect. Tierno then asked Blastoise to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, rendering the {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} unable to battle and forcing Sawyer to sent out his last Pokémon, {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}, to the field. Blastoise managed to stand his ground for a while, even resisting a [[Damage|super-effective]] {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but ended up losing after it got hit by {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Before he fainted, it used Rain Dance to change the [[weather]] and make things easier for his teammate Raichu. When Tierno brought Raichu back into battle and commanded her to use {{m|Thunder}}, he was taken aback as Sceptile [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and gained the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability, thus being unaffected by Thunder. Tierno then had Raichu use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sawyer responded by commanding Mega Sceptile to use Dragon Claw, cutting the Focus Blast in half and knocking Raichu unconscious. As a result, Tierno was eliminated from the competition.

After losing, he decided to remain in Lumiose City to watch the rest of the League together with his friends, which he did up until ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.

He reappeared in [[XY132]], where he joined the fight against [[Team Flare]].

He reappeared in [[XY133]], [[XY135]], and [[XY136]].

He will appear again in [[XY138]].

==Character==
[[File:Tierno dancing.png|thumb|250px|Tierno dancing]]
Much like his [[Tierno|game counterpart]], Tierno is a dancer. This is also reflected in his [[party]] as he tends to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pokémon with special dance skills such as {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Ludicolo}}. Despite being a rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he can cope well when battling more experienced opponents thanks to his skills, teaching dance moves to his Pokémon so they can evade attacks with ease.

Tierno is very friendly and is always encouraging his friends to do their best. He is very supportive of {{an|Shauna}} and often watches her {{pkmn|Showcase}} performances. He has feelings for {{an|Serena}}, which he demonstrates every time they meet. He was responsible for introducing Shauna to Serena.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Santalune City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Tierno.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Ash]]
Tierno debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' along with {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}, and his {{p|Squirtle}}. He first had a battle against a Trainer's {{p|Conkeldurr}} and won. Later that episode, he battled [[Ash's Froakie]]. During his battle with Ash, he revealed that he dreams of forming a dance unit with his Pokémon.

In ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', Tierno, along with Trevor and Shauna, decided to put the race on hold to help Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} find {{an|Bonnie}}. The group later encountered a {{p|Xerneas|mysterious Pokémon with an X mark}} on their way back to the camp. Although they arrived too late at the camp to win any points in the race, they declared that helping their friends was totally worth it.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor participated in a [[Multi Battle|Team Battle]] with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Squirtle, and {{p|Charmander}}, respectively. Their opponents were their new friends and rivals, Ash, Serena, and Clemont and their respective [[starter Pokémon]]. Tierno is the last to defeated in the battle, where his Squirtle is defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]]. He also was seen in a flashback in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.

[[File:Pokémon Showcase Glowsticks.png|thumb|250px|Tierno watching a Showcase]]
He appeared again in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Tierno meets Ash during their journey to the [[Lumiose Gym]], he reveals already have had their challenge there, and which also he got the {{badge|Voltage}} in a battle against [[Clembot]]. Soon after, Tierno reveals the Pokémon that he caught after the camp: {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Politoed}}, and {{p|Raichu}}.

Both decide to have a Pokémon battle, however it's interrupted by {{TRT}} which capture [[Ash's Sliggoo]] and Raichu and Wartortle of Tierno. After the group separating, Tierno and Bonnie meet with the lost Pokémon and decide to go help Ash and Serena. During the confrontation with Team Rocket, Tierno witness the evolution of {{p|Sliggoo}} into {{p|Goodra}} and defeating [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon easily. Later, he battled Ash with his {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Raichu}}, who were defeated by Goodra and Pikachu.

He appeared again in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'' where he watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Shauna and Trevor.

Tierno met Ash and {{ashfr}} again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration]]'', where he was accompanying Shauna at the Pokémon Showcase that would be held in [[Anistar City]]. He revealed that his Wartortle had evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}} and that he had tried to battle at the [[Gym]] of the city but lost to the Psychic-type Pokémon from the [[Olympia|Gym Leader]]. Later, Tierno and Ash had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Serena and Shauna which was eventually called off without any Pokémon getting defeated. He then had a battle again only with Ash, but the winner is not shown. He and Shauna remained in the group, with Tierno that assisted the Pokémon Showcase, which Shauna and Serena participated in, that happened in the [[XY091|next episode]] alongside Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Tierno made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class on [[television]] along with Trevor.

[[File:Tierno and Sawyer.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Sawyer]]
Tierno entered the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', in which he was seen talking to Trevor during the opening reception. In the [[XY126|following episode]], he was revealed to have advanced all the way to the quarterfinals, where he was matched against [[Sawyer]].

During the match, Tierno first sent out Ludicolo to battle Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}. He commanded Ludicolo to use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to activate its {{a|Swift Swim}} [[Ability]], but Sawyer's strategy of protecting Aegislash with {{m|King's Shield}} and raising its {{stat|Attack}} with {{m|Swords Dance}} proved successful and Ludicolo was [[Fainting|knocked out]]. After that, Tierno decided to use Raichu, and the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} made quick work of Aegislash with its {{m|Dig}} attack. Sawyer then called out {{p|Slurpuff}} and had it use {{m|Attract}}, {{status|Infatuation|infatuating}} Raichu and prompting Tierno to [[Recall|return it to its Poké Ball]].

After that, Tierno called out Blastoise, and when Slurpuff used Attract again, it had no effect. Tierno then asked Blastoise to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, rendering the {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} unable to battle and forcing Sawyer to sent out his last Pokémon, {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}, to the field. Blastoise managed to stand his ground for a while, even resisting a [[Damage|super-effective]] {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but ended up losing after it got hit by {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Before he fainted, it used Rain Dance to change the [[weather]] and make things easier for his teammate Raichu. When Tierno brought Raichu back into battle and commanded her to use {{m|Thunder}}, he was taken aback as Sceptile [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and gained the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability, thus being unaffected by Thunder. Tierno then had Raichu use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sawyer responded by commanding Mega Sceptile to use Dragon Claw, cutting the Focus Blast in half and knocking Raichu unconscious. As a result, Tierno was eliminated from the competition.

After losing, he decided to remain in Lumiose City to watch the rest of the League together with his friends, which he did up until ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.

He reappeared in [[XY132]], where he joined the fight against [[Team Flare]].

He reappeared in [[XY133]], [[XY135]], and [[XY136]].

He will appear again in [[XY138]].

==Character==
[[File:Tierno dancing.png|thumb|250px|Tierno dancing]]
Much like his [[Tierno|game counterpart]], Tierno is a dancer. This is also reflected in his [[party]] as he tends to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pokémon with special dance skills such as {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Ludicolo}}. Despite being a rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he can cope well when battling more experienced opponents thanks to his skills, teaching dance moves to his Pokémon so they can evade attacks with ease.

Tierno is very friendly and is always encouraging his friends to do their best. He is very supportive of {{an|Shauna}} and often watches her {{pkmn|Showcase}} performances. He has feelings for {{an|Serena}}, which he demonstrates every time they meet. He was responsible for introducing Shauna to Serena.

Evolution

2016-09-26T21:29:07Z

Volt1: /* In the anime */

{{samename|set in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}|Evolution (GB1)}} ''For the expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], see [[Evolutions (TCG)]].''
[[File:Evotag.png|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in {{game|Black and White|s}}.]]
'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''evolution'') is a process in which a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny|shininess}}, are preserved. With respect to real-world phenomena, Pokémon Evolution is more similar to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than {{wp|evolution}}. Evolution also appears to be a mostly independent phenomena from the {{wp|aging}} process for most species, though [[Baby Pokémon]] need to evolve to their next stage in order to [[Pokémon Breeding|breed]].

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon Evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through Evolution (this is true only if Legendary Pokémon are excluded.) Rowan is currently investigating whether Evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications this process has on Legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}} or a Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]], make a Pokémon Egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
[[File:Piplup family anime.png|thumb|240px|right|Piplup evolution family in the anime]]
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the {{Trading Card Game}}'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] are a part of (excluding the starter {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, as {{p|Pichu}} did not yet exist and it could not be evolved into {{p|Raichu}}; and {{p|Eevee}}, which could only be taken by {{ga|Blue}}), as well as all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|-
| colspan="5" |
|}
|}

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|-
| colspan="3" |
|}
|}

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives are [[Legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 61 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-Legendary Pokémon that do not evolve ({{p|Phione}} is not included due to its status as a Legendary being disputed).

Not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Luvdisc}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving eight different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves, and some Pokémon have a unique evolution method. The most common of them is Evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include the following:
*leveling up when [[friendship]] has reached a high level (220 or greater)
*leveling up while holding an item
*leveling up while knowing a certain move or a move of a certain type
*leveling up in a certain location
*[[trade|trading]] the Pokémon
*trading the Pokémon while [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]]
*trading the [[Karrablast (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] for specific [[Shelmet (Pokémon)|Pokémon]]
*using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it
*leveling up with a certain Pokémon or Pokémon of a certain type in the party
*leveling up while the [[3DS]] is upside-down
*level up or high friendship based on [[Time|time of day]]
*level up a [[Sliggoo (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] during certain types of [[weather]].
Additionally, holding an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}} prevents a Pokémon from evolving, as well as surprising a Pokémon via the B Button. The latter method is known as an "Evolution cancel".

Pokémon that get [[Fainting|knocked out]] during a {{pkmn|battle}} will evolve at the end of that battle if its requirements have been met. However, before [[Generation VI]], losing a battle would make Pokémon not evolve even if the conditions have been met.

Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all. Meanwhile, all {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}, but females ones have the option of evolving into {{p|Froslass}} instead. This instance occurs in a similar way with {{p|Kirlia}}, albeit with males having split evolution instead.

Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve. So far, only three Pokémon need to have these special requirements. {{p|Mantyke}} will evolve into {{p|Mantine}} if leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party. {{p|Nincada}} will evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} when it reaches level 20. However, if there happens to be an empty space in the player's party (and a spare [[Poké Ball]] in Generation IV onward), a {{p|Shedinja}} will also appear in the party. {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} if its level is 32 or higher and there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the player's party.

Some Pokémon evolve in other unique ways. If one trades a {{p|Karrablast}} for a {{p|Shelmet}}, they will evolve into {{p|Escavalier}} and {{p|Accelgor}}, respectively, though neither will evolve if one of them holds an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}}. When {{p|Inkay}} reaches level 30, the player must hold the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] upside-down for it to evolve into {{p|Malamar}}. Also introduced was a weather-based evolution: {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} beginning at level 50 only if it is [[rain]]ing in the area that the player is in. Finally, {{p|Sylveon}} can only be obtained by leveling up an {{p|Eevee}} that knows any {{type|Fairy}} moves and has at least two hearts of affection in [[Pokémon-Amie]].

==In the side games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
Some missions [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] involve {{p|Pikachu}} interacting with other Pokémon in certain ways to cause their evolution. In ''Caring for {{p|Caterpie}}'', the player and Pikachu supervise a group of Caterpie, who will evolve into {{p|Metapod}} and then {{p|Butterfree}} if treated well. In ''Field Trip'', Pikachu can water wild {{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Gloom}}, causing them to evolve into Gloom and {{p|Vileplume}}, respectively.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, while evolution typically works as normal in the main series, [[Shadow Pokémon]] are incapable of evolving until they are [[Purification|purified]] and return to normal. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Dakrness, the player's {{p|Eevee}} is incapable of evolving into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} through normal methods, because the game does not have a [[Time]] mechanic. However, early in the game, the player is given their choice of evolution item to evolve it, including the [[Sun and Moon Shards]], [[Key Item]]s that will evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon respectively after it levels up.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In {{g|Conquest}}, because the mechanics of [[level]]s, [[experience]], and [[friendship]] do not exist, Pokémon typically evolve once they reach a certain [[link]] threshold with their partnered [[Warrior]] or [[Warlord]]. Pokémon that normally evolve via high [[friendship]] in the main series games, such as {{p|Golbat}}, instead evolve after reaching a certain link percentage, usually between 60 and 70 percent. Pokémon that normally evolve at a set level instead evolve when a certain [[stat]] reaches a specific value. For example, {{p|Spheal}} evolves when its HP has reached a value of 138, which is partially determined by the link with its Warrior. Warriors with Pokémon that require an [[evolutionary stone]] to evolve must equip themselves with that item and then perform an action that causes their link to improve, such as completing a battle.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, the player can evolve Pokémon they caught in Catch 'Em Mode in a separate mode called Evolution Mode (EVO Mode in Pinball RS). In this mode the player selects an evolution-capable Pokémon in their possession, then guide their ball towards three symbols representative of their method of evolution in the main games, such as EX for [[Level]] evolution, or a [[Link Cable]] for Trade evolution. If the player collects the three symbols in time, they can bring their ball to the Center Hole to evolve their Pokémon, awarding them with their [[Pokédex]] entry and points.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, Evolution is restricted until the player complete the main scenario of the respective games. Evolution is typically done in a ritual held in several locations across the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, including [[Luminous Cave]], the [[Luminous Spring]], or the Tree of Life. However, starting in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], the player character and their partner may not evolve until they complete an additional scenario. Pokémon who evolve through unusual methods require an [[Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|additional item]] to act as a catalyst.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}} forward, enemy Pokémon may evolve at will after defeating a member of the player's party. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the player character and their partner evolve into their final forms several times throughout the story. In addition, recruitable Pokémon that exist as NPCs in this game or previous games will refuse evolution. However, because all Pokémon can be recruited separately though the [[Connection Orb]], the player can still access their respective evolved forms in alternate ways.

===Pokémon Snap===
In {{g|Snap}}, the player can interact with Pokémon in certain ways that will make them evolve.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island]]'s [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] stage, if the player lures the three {{p|Magnemite}} together, they will fuse and become a {{p|Magneton}}.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] stage, if the player knocks a {{p|Charmeleon}} into the crater of magma it is circling around, it will evolve and come out as a {{p|Charizard}}.
* Luring a {{p|Slowpoke}} to a fishing area along the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] will prompt it to fish with its tail, hooking a {{p|Shellder}}, causing it to evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}.
* Hitting the {{p|Grimer}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] three times with [[Pester Ball]]s will cause it to evolve into {{p|Muk}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Island Valley|Valley]], completing a series of events will cause a {{p|Magikarp}} to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:Pokémon GO evolution.png|thumb|150px|Zubat evolving in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can evolve Pokémon by spending [[Candy]]. The Candy cost for evolution varies between Pokémon species, ranging from 12 (to evolve {{p|Caterpie}} into {{p|Metapod}}) to 400 (to evolve {{p|Magikarp}} into {{p|Gyarados}}).

Each evolutionary family has their own kind of Candy. Candy can be obtained by catching or hatching Pokémon of that evolutionary family. The player can also obtain 1 Candy for its evolutionary family by permanently transferring it to [[Professor Willow]].

The form {{p|Eevee}} normally evolves into seems to be random. However, the player can [[nickname]] their Eevee after one of the [[Eevee brothers]] in order to guarantee what the end result of the evolution will be.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|left|{{p|Kakuna}} evolving into {{p|Beedrill}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'']]
[[File:Shelmet evolution Best Wishes.png|thumb|200px|right|Evolution in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
In the anime, Evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolutions and [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place (It should be noted that Poliwhirl had been through a machine in connection with it being healed at the Pokémon Center, while holding the item). When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of.

Additionally, a difference can be seen in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power or gaining new abilities, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. It appears that Evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

When a Pokémon begins to evolve, it will be enveloped by a brightly-colored light while slowly changing form; in the Original, Advanced, and Diamond&Pearl series, the light is simply white in color while in the Black and White and XY series, the light is blue in color.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
'''Evolution''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is very similar in some aspects to its counterpart in the [[core series]]. However, it differs mostly in the fact that there are no different methods needed to evolve a Pokémon, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into.

Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or on the first turn they come into play. They also cannot be evolved if on the same turn they were previously evolved or devolved.

===Stages of evolution===
There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

====Baby Pokémon====
{{main|Baby Pokémon#In the TCG|Baby Pokémon}}
A Baby Pokémon is much the same in the TCG as it is in the core series of games. In fact, as with baby Pokémon released beyond [[Generation II]], it is not even necessary for a Pokémon to even go through this stage of their evolutionary line, as the Pokémon can just start from their basic form. Baby Pokémon are among the weakest in the TCG, most often having 30 HP, as well as one of two special {{TCG|Poké-Body}}s: one prevents all damage done to the Baby Pokémon while it is Asleep (Baby Pokémon with this Poké-Body also usually have an attack that changes their status to Asleep), and the other forces a Pokémon attempting to attack the Baby Pokémon to flip a coin, the attack doing nothing if that coin ends up tails.

====Basic Pokémon====
A Basic Pokémon is the most basic of Pokémon cards, as can be deduced from its name. Commonly basic Pokémon will have low HP, a common rarity, and low damage and {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} costs. These cards can be placed directly into play without another Pokémon card needing to be in play first. Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon released in a later generation, such as {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Pikachu}}, always are basic Pokémon, despite being the second Pokémon in their own evolutionary lines. [[Baby Pokémon]], {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆|Pokémon}} {{Star}}, {{TCG|Pokemon SP}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} are always Basic, the latter four cannot evolve.

====Stage 1 Pokémon====
A Stage 1 Pokémon are the first kind of evolution card, being able to be evolved from a Basic Pokémon. Stage 1 cards are most commonly uncommon in rarity. Stage 1 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Stage 2 Pokémon====
A Stage 2 Pokémon is the highest of evolution cards, commonly rare or holographic in rarity, and can only, in normal conditions, be evolved from a Stage 1 Pokémon. Stage 2 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution#In the TCG|Mega Evolution}}
M Pokémon-EX cards were introduced in {{TCG|XY}} [[#Expansion|expansion]] and introduce the '''Mega Evolution''' mechanic featured in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. They are identified by a stylized {{Mega}} graphic on the card name. M Pokémon-EX can only be played by Mega Evolving from basic {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Doing so ends a players {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Turn}} immediately. Other than this, M Pokémon-EX share the same rules and design as regular Pokémon-EX and evolving Pokémon, with the addition of boosted {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} and more powerful {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Attack}}s.

===Ability to evolve===
A Pokémon card that is in the player's hand must say specifically that it evolves from a Pokémon card that is in play on the player's side. For example, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Blastoise|3}} states on the card "'''Evolves from Dark Wartortle'''". This means that any card named Dark Wartortle may be evolved into Dark Blastoise. However, a card simply named Wartortle cannot. Likewise, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Rhyhorn|62}} cannot be evolved into a Pokémon that says on it "'''Evolves from Team Magma's Rhyhorn'''".

However, Pokémon cards from different sets may evolve into one another. For example, {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Crobat|2}} can evolve from either {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golbat|7}} of the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set or {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Golbat|34}} of the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} set. So long as the card names match precisely both to (here Dark Crobat) and from (here Dark Golbat), the evolution is legal. This rule, of course, can be circumvented by certain means, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, however, this is not common.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}. This is because real life evolution happens to a population rather than to individuals, and happens over much larger time scales than in the Pokémon world. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon Evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], it is described in the health class at the school in [[Serene Village]] as when a Pokémon's body rapidly grows larger with many other changes bringing a Pokémon closer to being an adult, being described akin to {{wp|puberty}}.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Feebas}} are the only two Pokémon that reach their next evolutionary forms in multiple ways. Whereas in the handheld games, Eevee becomes {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} with high [[friendship]] when leveled up depending on the [[time]] of day, in {{Pokémon XD}} it evolves when raised a level when the [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard or Moon Shard]] is in the [[bag]]. This is because Pokémon XD, like {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, lacks a time function. Feebas, meanwhile, evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when its [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty condition]] is high, which cannot be done in the [[Generation V]] games or {{g|X and Y}} unless the Feebas had its Beauty condition raised in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] previously. Due to this, the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} was introduced, so that Feebas caught in the wild or bred in [[Generation V]] onward would be able to evolve freely.
* Of all non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} and non-[[Mythical Pokémon]], 90.87% are part of an evolutionary line.
** Counting Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, 84.19% of all Pokémon are part of an evolutionary line.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Pokémon that do not evolve, with 18.
** Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|VI}} are tied for the fewest, with just five each.

Evolution

Volt1: /* In the anime */

{{samename|set in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}|Evolution (GB1)}} ''For the expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], see [[Evolutions (TCG)]].''
[[File:Evotag.png|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in {{game|Black and White|s}}.]]
'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''evolution'') is a process in which a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny|shininess}}, are preserved. With respect to real-world phenomena, Pokémon Evolution is more similar to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than {{wp|evolution}}. Evolution also appears to be a mostly independent phenomena from the {{wp|aging}} process for most species, though [[Baby Pokémon]] need to evolve to their next stage in order to [[Pokémon Breeding|breed]].

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon Evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through Evolution (this is true only if Legendary Pokémon are excluded.) Rowan is currently investigating whether Evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications this process has on Legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}} or a Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]], make a Pokémon Egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
[[File:Piplup family anime.png|thumb|240px|right|Piplup evolution family in the anime]]
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the {{Trading Card Game}}'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] are a part of (excluding the starter {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, as {{p|Pichu}} did not yet exist and it could not be evolved into {{p|Raichu}}; and {{p|Eevee}}, which could only be taken by {{ga|Blue}}), as well as all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives are [[Legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 61 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-Legendary Pokémon that do not evolve ({{p|Phione}} is not included due to its status as a Legendary being disputed).

Not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Luvdisc}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving eight different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves, and some Pokémon have a unique evolution method. The most common of them is Evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include the following:
*leveling up when [[friendship]] has reached a high level (220 or greater)
*leveling up while holding an item
*leveling up while knowing a certain move or a move of a certain type
*leveling up in a certain location
*[[trade|trading]] the Pokémon
*trading the Pokémon while [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]]
*trading the [[Karrablast (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] for specific [[Shelmet (Pokémon)|Pokémon]]
*using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it
*leveling up with a certain Pokémon or Pokémon of a certain type in the party
*leveling up while the [[3DS]] is upside-down
*level up or high friendship based on [[Time|time of day]]
*level up a [[Sliggoo (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] during certain types of [[weather]].
Additionally, holding an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}} prevents a Pokémon from evolving, as well as surprising a Pokémon via the B Button. The latter method is known as an "Evolution cancel".

Pokémon that get [[Fainting|knocked out]] during a {{pkmn|battle}} will evolve at the end of that battle if its requirements have been met. However, before [[Generation VI]], losing a battle would make Pokémon not evolve even if the conditions have been met.

Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all. Meanwhile, all {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}, but females ones have the option of evolving into {{p|Froslass}} instead. This instance occurs in a similar way with {{p|Kirlia}}, albeit with males having split evolution instead.

Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve. So far, only three Pokémon need to have these special requirements. {{p|Mantyke}} will evolve into {{p|Mantine}} if leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party. {{p|Nincada}} will evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} when it reaches level 20. However, if there happens to be an empty space in the player's party (and a spare [[Poké Ball]] in Generation IV onward), a {{p|Shedinja}} will also appear in the party. {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} if its level is 32 or higher and there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the player's party.

Some Pokémon evolve in other unique ways. If one trades a {{p|Karrablast}} for a {{p|Shelmet}}, they will evolve into {{p|Escavalier}} and {{p|Accelgor}}, respectively, though neither will evolve if one of them holds an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}}. When {{p|Inkay}} reaches level 30, the player must hold the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] upside-down for it to evolve into {{p|Malamar}}. Also introduced was a weather-based evolution: {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} beginning at level 50 only if it is [[rain]]ing in the area that the player is in. Finally, {{p|Sylveon}} can only be obtained by leveling up an {{p|Eevee}} that knows any {{type|Fairy}} moves and has at least two hearts of affection in [[Pokémon-Amie]].

==In the side games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
Some missions [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] involve {{p|Pikachu}} interacting with other Pokémon in certain ways to cause their evolution. In ''Caring for {{p|Caterpie}}'', the player and Pikachu supervise a group of Caterpie, who will evolve into {{p|Metapod}} and then {{p|Butterfree}} if treated well. In ''Field Trip'', Pikachu can water wild {{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Gloom}}, causing them to evolve into Gloom and {{p|Vileplume}}, respectively.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, while evolution typically works as normal in the main series, [[Shadow Pokémon]] are incapable of evolving until they are [[Purification|purified]] and return to normal. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Dakrness, the player's {{p|Eevee}} is incapable of evolving into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} through normal methods, because the game does not have a [[Time]] mechanic. However, early in the game, the player is given their choice of evolution item to evolve it, including the [[Sun and Moon Shards]], [[Key Item]]s that will evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon respectively after it levels up.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In {{g|Conquest}}, because the mechanics of [[level]]s, [[experience]], and [[friendship]] do not exist, Pokémon typically evolve once they reach a certain [[link]] threshold with their partnered [[Warrior]] or [[Warlord]]. Pokémon that normally evolve via high [[friendship]] in the main series games, such as {{p|Golbat}}, instead evolve after reaching a certain link percentage, usually between 60 and 70 percent. Pokémon that normally evolve at a set level instead evolve when a certain [[stat]] reaches a specific value. For example, {{p|Spheal}} evolves when its HP has reached a value of 138, which is partially determined by the link with its Warrior. Warriors with Pokémon that require an [[evolutionary stone]] to evolve must equip themselves with that item and then perform an action that causes their link to improve, such as completing a battle.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, the player can evolve Pokémon they caught in Catch 'Em Mode in a separate mode called Evolution Mode (EVO Mode in Pinball RS). In this mode the player selects an evolution-capable Pokémon in their possession, then guide their ball towards three symbols representative of their method of evolution in the main games, such as EX for [[Level]] evolution, or a [[Link Cable]] for Trade evolution. If the player collects the three symbols in time, they can bring their ball to the Center Hole to evolve their Pokémon, awarding them with their [[Pokédex]] entry and points.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, Evolution is restricted until the player complete the main scenario of the respective games. Evolution is typically done in a ritual held in several locations across the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, including [[Luminous Cave]], the [[Luminous Spring]], or the Tree of Life. However, starting in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], the player character and their partner may not evolve until they complete an additional scenario. Pokémon who evolve through unusual methods require an [[Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|additional item]] to act as a catalyst.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}} forward, enemy Pokémon may evolve at will after defeating a member of the player's party. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the player character and their partner evolve into their final forms several times throughout the story. In addition, recruitable Pokémon that exist as NPCs in this game or previous games will refuse evolution. However, because all Pokémon can be recruited separately though the [[Connection Orb]], the player can still access their respective evolved forms in alternate ways.

===Pokémon Snap===
In {{g|Snap}}, the player can interact with Pokémon in certain ways that will make them evolve.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island]]'s [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] stage, if the player lures the three {{p|Magnemite}} together, they will fuse and become a {{p|Magneton}}.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] stage, if the player knocks a {{p|Charmeleon}} into the crater of magma it is circling around, it will evolve and come out as a {{p|Charizard}}.
* Luring a {{p|Slowpoke}} to a fishing area along the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] will prompt it to fish with its tail, hooking a {{p|Shellder}}, causing it to evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}.
* Hitting the {{p|Grimer}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] three times with [[Pester Ball]]s will cause it to evolve into {{p|Muk}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Island Valley|Valley]], completing a series of events will cause a {{p|Magikarp}} to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:Pokémon GO evolution.png|thumb|150px|Zubat evolving in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can evolve Pokémon by spending [[Candy]]. The Candy cost for evolution varies between Pokémon species, ranging from 12 (to evolve {{p|Caterpie}} into {{p|Metapod}}) to 400 (to evolve {{p|Magikarp}} into {{p|Gyarados}}).

Each evolutionary family has their own kind of Candy. Candy can be obtained by catching or hatching Pokémon of that evolutionary family. The player can also obtain 1 Candy for its evolutionary family by permanently transferring it to [[Professor Willow]].

The form {{p|Eevee}} normally evolves into seems to be random. However, the player can [[nickname]] their Eevee after one of the [[Eevee brothers]] in order to guarantee what the end result of the evolution will be.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|left|{{p|Kakuna}} evolving into {{p|Beedrill}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'']]
[[File:Shelmet evolution Best Wishes.png|thumb|200px|right|Evolution in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
In the anime, Evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolutions and [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place (It should be noted that Poliwhirl had been through a machine in connection with it being healed at the Pokémon Center, while holding the item). When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of.

Additionally, a difference can be seen in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power or gaining new abilities, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. It appears that Evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

When a Pokémon begins to evolve, it will be enveloped by a brightly-colored light; in the Original, Advanced, and Diamond and Pearl series, the light is simply white in color while in the Black and White and XY series, the light is blue in color.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
'''Evolution''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is very similar in some aspects to its counterpart in the [[core series]]. However, it differs mostly in the fact that there are no different methods needed to evolve a Pokémon, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into.

Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or on the first turn they come into play. They also cannot be evolved if on the same turn they were previously evolved or devolved.

===Stages of evolution===
There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

====Baby Pokémon====
{{main|Baby Pokémon#In the TCG|Baby Pokémon}}
A Baby Pokémon is much the same in the TCG as it is in the core series of games. In fact, as with baby Pokémon released beyond [[Generation II]], it is not even necessary for a Pokémon to even go through this stage of their evolutionary line, as the Pokémon can just start from their basic form. Baby Pokémon are among the weakest in the TCG, most often having 30 HP, as well as one of two special {{TCG|Poké-Body}}s: one prevents all damage done to the Baby Pokémon while it is Asleep (Baby Pokémon with this Poké-Body also usually have an attack that changes their status to Asleep), and the other forces a Pokémon attempting to attack the Baby Pokémon to flip a coin, the attack doing nothing if that coin ends up tails.

====Basic Pokémon====
A Basic Pokémon is the most basic of Pokémon cards, as can be deduced from its name. Commonly basic Pokémon will have low HP, a common rarity, and low damage and {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} costs. These cards can be placed directly into play without another Pokémon card needing to be in play first. Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon released in a later generation, such as {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Pikachu}}, always are basic Pokémon, despite being the second Pokémon in their own evolutionary lines. [[Baby Pokémon]], {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆|Pokémon}} {{Star}}, {{TCG|Pokemon SP}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} are always Basic, the latter four cannot evolve.

====Stage 1 Pokémon====
A Stage 1 Pokémon are the first kind of evolution card, being able to be evolved from a Basic Pokémon. Stage 1 cards are most commonly uncommon in rarity. Stage 1 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Stage 2 Pokémon====
A Stage 2 Pokémon is the highest of evolution cards, commonly rare or holographic in rarity, and can only, in normal conditions, be evolved from a Stage 1 Pokémon. Stage 2 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution#In the TCG|Mega Evolution}}
M Pokémon-EX cards were introduced in {{TCG|XY}} [[#Expansion|expansion]] and introduce the '''Mega Evolution''' mechanic featured in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. They are identified by a stylized {{Mega}} graphic on the card name. M Pokémon-EX can only be played by Mega Evolving from basic {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Doing so ends a players {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Turn}} immediately. Other than this, M Pokémon-EX share the same rules and design as regular Pokémon-EX and evolving Pokémon, with the addition of boosted {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} and more powerful {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Attack}}s.

===Ability to evolve===
A Pokémon card that is in the player's hand must say specifically that it evolves from a Pokémon card that is in play on the player's side. For example, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Blastoise|3}} states on the card "'''Evolves from Dark Wartortle'''". This means that any card named Dark Wartortle may be evolved into Dark Blastoise. However, a card simply named Wartortle cannot. Likewise, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Rhyhorn|62}} cannot be evolved into a Pokémon that says on it "'''Evolves from Team Magma's Rhyhorn'''".

However, Pokémon cards from different sets may evolve into one another. For example, {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Crobat|2}} can evolve from either {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golbat|7}} of the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set or {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Golbat|34}} of the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} set. So long as the card names match precisely both to (here Dark Crobat) and from (here Dark Golbat), the evolution is legal. This rule, of course, can be circumvented by certain means, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, however, this is not common.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}. This is because real life evolution happens to a population rather than to individuals, and happens over much larger time scales than in the Pokémon world. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon Evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], it is described in the health class at the school in [[Serene Village]] as when a Pokémon's body rapidly grows larger with many other changes bringing a Pokémon closer to being an adult, being described akin to {{wp|puberty}}.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Feebas}} are the only two Pokémon that reach their next evolutionary forms in multiple ways. Whereas in the handheld games, Eevee becomes {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} with high [[friendship]] when leveled up depending on the [[time]] of day, in {{Pokémon XD}} it evolves when raised a level when the [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard or Moon Shard]] is in the [[bag]]. This is because Pokémon XD, like {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, lacks a time function. Feebas, meanwhile, evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when its [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty condition]] is high, which cannot be done in the [[Generation V]] games or {{g|X and Y}} unless the Feebas had its Beauty condition raised in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] previously. Due to this, the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} was introduced, so that Feebas caught in the wild or bred in [[Generation V]] onward would be able to evolve freely.
* Of all non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} and non-[[Mythical Pokémon]], 90.87% are part of an evolutionary line.
** Counting Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, 84.19% of all Pokémon are part of an evolutionary line.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Pokémon that do not evolve, with 18.
** Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|VI}} are tied for the fewest, with just five each.

==Blurb==

Our friends have stopped to eat, but Munchlax won't stop eating! Ash is training when he sees a sandwich come rolling down a hill, and Munchlax gulps down the sandwich. That's how Ash ends up meeting Morrison, the sandwich's owner, who decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash: his Beldum against Ash's Pikachu!

Pikachu's Iron Tail and Beldum's Take Down are evenly matched—it's a tie! After the battle, Morrison, who plans to enter the Hoenn League tournament, shows off his seven badges. When Ash tells him he needs eight badges to enter, he runs off to find a Gym. But since there's no Gym on the island, he ends up at the same Pokémon Center that Ash and his friends are staying at. The two Trainers constantly compete over everything, even which spot they're going to train in!

Just as they reach a truce, however, Team Rocket kidnaps Pikachu and Beldum. Though they have no other Pokémon with them, Ash and Morrison chase the thieves down, then battle Team Rocket's Seviper and Cacnea by themselves! Pikachu and Beldum are freed and with their help, Team Rocket is quickly sent blasting off again.

Now Ash is headed to Slateport with his friends, but as Morrison goes off to earn his eighth badge, the two rivals promise to meet each other again at Ever Grande!

==Plot==
On their way to [[Slateport City]] where the [[Grand Festival]] is held, {{Ash}}, [[Max]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} are relaxing in the woods and eating with their Pokémon. Ash and May, with their Pokémon, eat quickly so they can get started on their training, Ash with his Snorunt training Snorunt's {{m|Ice Beam}} while May trains her Pokémon for the Grand Festival. While Ash tries to get his Snorunt to use Ice Beam, a [[rice ball]] (sandwich in the dub) comes rolling down a hill, followed by a stocky male with red hair.

After some confusion with the rice ball which ended up with {{TP|May|Munchlax}} eating it, the boy introduces himself as [[Morrison]], and he tells Ash that he's going to win first prize in the [[Ever Grande Conference|Hoenn League]]. Ash then introduces himself and says that ''he'' is going to win it. They then go on to argue about who is the better of the two Trainers with Ash saying that he will be the best Trainer in the Universe and Morrison saying that he will be the best Trainer in the Universe of Universes etc. He then challenges him to a battle.

Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}} and Morrison uses his {{p|Beldum}}. May consults her Pokédex and it reveals that Beldum emits magnetic waves to repel the Earth's magnetic field. Morrison's Beldum starts by using {{m|Take Down}}, Ash asks his Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Quick Attack}} which hits Beldum. After Max reveals that the only move known to Beldum is Take Down, Morrison tells his Beldum to use Take Down again, this time Ash tells Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which also hits Beldum. May and Max comments that this will be an easy win for Pikachu because Beldum only knows one move. Beldum once again uses Take Down and Pikachu dodges it again but Beldum immediately launches another Take Down this time catching Pikachu by surprise and hits Pikachu strongly. After Pikachu lands heavily, Beldum launches another Take Down which catches Pikachu again. However, neither Beldum or Pikachu were done and each launches Take Down and {{m|Iron Tail}} respectively. The battle ends in a double knock-out with both Pokémon unable to battle. Morrison then boasts that he has seven Badges and Ash sheepishly boasts that he already has eight. Also when Brock tells Morrison that the competition is only two months away he freaks out and rushes away to win his eighth Badge.

Later, Ash meets up with Morrison at the [[Pokémon Center]] and the two race to get their Pokémon healed, leading to them both crashing into the door and sliding across the floor into the counter and begging [[Nurse Joy]] to heal their Pokémon before the other, much to Joy's surprise. The two then compete in an eating Contest, and attempt to see who can stay in hot water for the longest amount of time. That night, Morrison sleeps outside with his Beldum to enjoy the nature, and Ash decides to join in with Pikachu, the two rivals have a conversation while in the tree, until they both fall asleep after a long day.

In the morning the two continue to compete. They get into a race, leading to both Ash and Morrison sliding down a cliff. Spotting a single apple hanging from a branch on a nearby tree, Ash challenges Morrison to race to see who can get to the apple first. The race doesn't end too well as Morrison and Ash slam into the tree, ending up snapping the apple in half and both ending their competition in a draw. Finding this to be the perfect opportunity to catch the duo off-guard, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} manage to trap Ash and Morrison in a cage and capture Pikachu and Beldum. Having left their other Pokémon behind, the two of them work together to break out and chase after the {{TRT}}. Ash and Morrison catch up to them and fight {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} on their own in their desperation to free their own Pokémon, leading to them falling in defeat. Eventually getting back up and continuing to fight them off, they free Pikachu and Beldum. The two Pokémon work together and manage to defeat the Rockets, sending them blasting off again.

Morrison then sails off, promising to meet Ash in the Hoenn League.

==Blurb==

Our friends have stopped to eat, but Munchlax won't stop eating! Ash is training when he sees a sandwich come rolling down a hill, and Munchlax gulps down the sandwich. That's how Ash ends up meeting Morrison, the sandwich's owner, who decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash: his Beldum against Ash's Pikachu!

Pikachu's Iron Tail and Beldum's Take Down are evenly matched—it's a tie! After the battle, Morrison, who plans to enter the Hoenn League tournament, shows off his seven badges. When Ash tells him he needs eight badges to enter, he runs off to find a Gym. But since there's no Gym on the island, he ends up at the same Pokémon Center that Ash and his friends are staying at. The two Trainers constantly compete over everything, even which spot they're going to train in!

Just as they reach a truce, however, Team Rocket kidnaps Pikachu and Beldum. Though they have no other Pokémon with them, Ash and Morrison chase the thieves down, then battle Team Rocket's Seviper and Cacnea by themselves! Pikachu and Beldum are freed and with their help, Team Rocket is quickly sent blasting off again.

Now Ash is headed to Slateport with his friends, but as Morrison goes off to earn his eighth badge, the two rivals promise to meet each other again at Ever Grande!

==Plot==
On their way to [[Slateport City]] where the [[Grand Festival]] is held, {{Ash}}, [[Max]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} are relaxing in the woods and eating with their Pokémon. Ash and May, with their Pokémon, eat quickly so they can get started on their training, Ash with his Snorunt training Snorunt's {{m|Ice Beam}} while May trains her Pokémon for the Grand Festival. While Ash tries to get his Snorunt to use Ice Beam, a [[rice ball]] (sandwich in the dub) comes rolling down a hill, followed by a stocky male with red hair.

After some confusion with the rice ball which ended up with {{TP|May|Munchlax}} eating it, the boy introduces himself as [[Morrison]], and he tells Ash that he's going to win first prize in the [[Ever Grande Conference|Hoenn League]]. Ash then introduces himself and says that ''he'' is going to win it. They then go on to argue about who is the better of the two Trainers with Ash saying that he will be the best Trainer in the Universe and Morrison saying that he will be the best Trainer in the Universe of Universes etc. He then challenges him to a battle.

Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}} and Morrison uses his {{p|Beldum}}. May consults her Pokédex and it reveals that Beldum emits magnetic waves to repel the Earth's magnetic field. Morrison's Beldum starts by using {{m|Take Down}}, Ash asks his Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Quick Attack}} which hits Beldum. After Max reveals that the only move known to Beldum is Take Down, Morrison tells his Beldum to use Take Down again, this time Ash tells Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which also hits Beldum. May and Max comments that this will be an easy win for Pikachu because Beldum only knows one move. Beldum once again uses Take Down and Pikachu dodges it again but Beldum immediately launches another Take Down this time catching Pikachu by surprise and hits Pikachu strongly. After Pikachu lands heavily, Beldum launches another Take Down which catches Pikachu again. However, neither Beldum or Pikachu were done and each launches Take Down and {{m|Iron Tail}} respectively. The battle ends in a double knock-out with both Pokémon unable to battle. Morrison then boasts that he has seven Badges and Ash sheepishly boasts that he already has eight. Also when Brock tells Morrison that the competition is only two months away he freaks out and rushes away to win his eighth Badge.

Later, Ash meets up with Morrison at the [[Pokémon Center]] and the two race to get their Pokémon healed, leading to them both crashing into the door and sliding across the floor into the counter and begging [[Nurse Joy]] to heal their Pokémon before the other, much to Joy's surprise. The two then compete in an eating Contest, and attempt to see who can stay in hot water for the longest amount of time. That night, Morrison sleeps outside with his Beldum to enjoy the nature, and Ash decides to join in with Pikachu, the two rivals have a conversation while in the tree, until they both fall asleep after a long day.

In the morning the two continue to compete. They get into a race, leading to both Ash and Morrison sliding down a cliff. Spotting a single apple hanging from a branch on a nearby tree, Ash challenges Morrison to race to see who can get to the apple first. The race doesn't end too well as Morrison and Ash slam into the tree, ending up snapping the apple in half and both ending their competition in a draw. Finding this to be the perfect opportunity to catch the duo off-guard, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} manage to trap Ash and Morrison in a cage and capture Pikachu and Beldum. Having left their other Pokémon behind, the two of them work together to break out and chase after the {{TRT}}. Ash and Morrison catch up to them and fight {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} on their own in their desperation to free their own Pokémon, leading to them falling in defeat. Eventually getting back up and continuing to fight them off, they free Pikachu and Beldum. The two Pokémon work together and manage to defeat the Rockets, sending them blasting off again.

Morrison then sails off, promising to meet Ash in the Hoenn League.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or [[New Mauville]].

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, spherical metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body, and the other on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, [[EP101|the anime has shown]] that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. [[EP195|It has even exhibited]] the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and has been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. It can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. [[EP030|It has even been shown]] to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, [[EP195|it has been demonstrated that]] it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite do not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Magnemite first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in [[Gringey City]] while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was feeling attracted to [[Ash's Pikachu]], who had a cold. When a group of {{p|Grimer}} and its {{AP|Muk}} leader were chasing Ash and his friends, a group of Magnemite and {{p|Magneton}} helped to fight them off.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} met a man named {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} who used Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms and then the electrical energy would be given to towns that were without power.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing.
* Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite, along with {{p|Magneton}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magnemite and its evolutions are the only dual-type {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.

===Origin===
Magnemite seems to be based on a {{wp|magnet}}. It may also be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. It may also be a combination of ''magnet'' or ''magnetite'' and ''mite'', referring to its small size.

Coil is literally ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or [[New Mauville]].

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, spherical metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body, and the other on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, [[EP101|the anime has shown]] that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. [[EP195|It has even exhibited]] the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and has been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. It can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. [[EP030|It has even been shown]] to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, [[EP195|it has been demonstrated that]] it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite do not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Magnemite first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in [[Gringey City]] while the power went out.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing.
* Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite, along with {{p|Magneton}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magnemite and its evolutions are the only dual-type {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.

===Origin===
Magnemite seems to be based on a {{wp|magnet}}. It may also be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. It may also be a combination of ''magnet'' or ''magnetite'' and ''mite'', referring to its small size.

Coil is literally ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or [[New Mauville]].

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, spherical metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body, and the other on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, [[EP101|the anime has shown]] that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. [[EP195|It has even exhibited]] the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and has been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. It can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. [[EP030|It has even been shown]] to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, [[EP195|it has been demonstrated that]] it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite do not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Magnemite first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in [[Gringey City]] while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was feeling attracted to [[Ash's Pikachu]], who had a cold.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}} met a man named {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} who used Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms and then the electrical energy would be given to towns that were without power.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing.
* Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite, along with {{p|Magneton}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magnemite and its evolutions are the only dual-type {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.

===Origin===
Magnemite seems to be based on a {{wp|magnet}}. It may also be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. It may also be a combination of ''magnet'' or ''magnetite'' and ''mite'', referring to its small size.

Coil is literally ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or [[New Mauville]].

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, spherical metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body, and the other on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, [[EP101|the anime has shown]] that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. [[EP195|It has even exhibited]] the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and has been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. It can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. [[EP030|It has even been shown]] to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, [[EP195|it has been demonstrated that]] it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite do not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing.
* Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Due to their inclusion in Platinum's extended Sinnoh Pokédex and the Unova Pokédex in Black 2 and White 2, Magnemite and Magneton have appeared in every regional Pokédex.
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magnemite and its evolutions are the only dual-type {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.

===Origin===
Magnemite seems to be based on a {{wp|magnet}}. It may also be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. It may also be a combination of ''magnet'' or ''magnetite'' and ''mite'', referring to its small size.

Coil is literally ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

'''Pokémon Showdown''', also often formatted as '''Pokémon Showdown!''', is a popular Pokémon battle simulator, currently peaking close to 10,600 users.<ref>[http://pokemonshowdown.com/userstats Pokémon Showdown user stats]</ref> As of July 2, 2012, it was adopted by [[Smogon]] and became one of the first battle simulators to support the changes brought about by Black 2 and White 2. In addition to standard modes of play, Pokémon Showdown! includes unique features such as the emerging tiers "Hackmons" and "Balanced Hackmons," which encompass Pokémon of normally illegal movesets and abilities and are not supported by any other popular simulator.

Pokémon Showdown is web-based and works on all major browsers. It is written in JavaScript and Node.js, and it is free and open source.

==Features==
Pokémon Showdown was the first simulator to support animated battles. It is currently the only simulator that supports one-click replay sharing, and reconnecting to disconnected battles. Pokémon Showdown supports single, double, and triple battles in [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]], and also has support for single battles in all other generations.

===Ladder System===

==Development==
Pokémon Showdown was created by Zarel, and the current development team also includes bmelts. The project is [https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown open-source] and has many other development and graphical contributors as well.

==Blurb==

At a run-down hotel, a timid desk clerk named Weston shows our heroes to their room. Ash wants to check out the hotel’s public battlefield, where they discover Mantle, the owner, challenging other Trainers to battle...and taking their Pokémon when they lose!

Weston’s Rotom comes out of hiding to reveal that its Trainer was once the owner, but Mantle challenged him to a battle on the hotel’s opening day 10 years ago. When the inexperienced Rotom ran away, Mantle declared himself the winner—of the battle and the hotel! To make amends, Rotom sends our heroes back in time to that fateful battle! This time, Clemont and the others help Weston and Rotom defeat the crook.

When they return to the present, our heroes discover a big change: the hotel is sparkling and clean, Weston is the rightful owner, and Mantle and his goons are working as bellhops. And a framed photo from the hotel’s opening day proves that our heroes really were there!

==Plot==
On their journey to [[Anistar City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} begin making plans to rest for the night as a storm begins brewing. Based on {{an|Serena}}'s directions, they arrive at the [[Lost Hotel]], but are shocked to find the interior in severe disrepair. Approaching the counter, they are introduced to the clerk, [[Weston]]. As he brings them to their room, the group passes a flickering light which Weston briefly addresses as {{p|Rotom}}, and a picture of the hotel's current owner taken during its opening day: a sneering young man and his {{p|Krookodile}}.

After the group is shown to their room, Ash decides to have a Pokémon battle at the indoor battlefield he saw in the owner's picture. The group finds their way to it and enter, revealing a battle already taking place between the owner, [[Mantle]], and a guest. The guest's {{p|Pangoro}} is defeated in short order by Krookodile and subsequently retreated, but to the horror of Ash and his friends, Mantle takes Pangoro's PokéBall from its owner. The protesting guest is taken away by a pair of Mantle's thugs. {{an|Clemont}} points out that the two were betting on the battle with their Pokémon as the stakes. Angered, Ash confronts Mantle about this, but Mantle coolly tells him that the guest had agreed to the terms of the battle, which is how he runs things. Mantle challenges Ash to a battle for his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], saying that he'll return the Pangoro if he loses, but Ash will lose Pikachu if he wins. Ash refuses to battle on those terms, to which Mantle and his goons begin taunting him. The group is soon surrounded by Mantle's gang and realize that Ash is being coerced to fight. Just then, a Rotom appears from a rubbish bin and causes a distraction, prompting the group to run after it. Mantle sends his goons after them but they fail to catch up, the group having found a storage room to hide in.

In the storeroom, the group thanks Rotom for its intervention, but wonder what happened to the hotel for it to be in its current state. Rotom, possessing a television set, begins showing them footage of what happened in the past: Weston was the original owner of the hotel, but on its opening day Mantle challenged him for ownership with a Pokémon battle, threatening to battle Weston's guests and take their Pokémon if Weston refused, and calling Weston and his Rotom cowards. Weston agreed, declaring that Mantle and his two friends would leave without trouble if Mantle lost. Mantle released his Krookodile, who scared Rotom with a single roar and sent it fleeing. With Weston's single Pokémon refusing to battle, Mantle declared his victory by default and took over the hotel. Weston was reduced to the position of clerk and never saw Rotom again, as it was hiding out of shame for failing its friend.

The group empathizes with Rotom and Weston's plight, with {{an|Bonnie}} asking if Clemont can do anything. Clemont points out that they'd need a time machine to change past events. Inspired, Rotom leads the group to an elevator and possesses it after they go inside. Bizarrely, the elevator display reveals a series of basements marked by negative numbers, which Ash is certain weren't there before. The group, save for Bonnie, Pikachu and [[Clemont's Dedenne|Dedenne]], freak out from the supernatural phenomenon as Rotom takes them back in time. Leaving the elevator, the group find the arena, discovering that Rotom took them back to the exact moment when Mantle challenged Weston ten years ago. Before Mantle can declare his victory after Rotom flees, Ash confronts Mantle, pointing out that the battle hasn't even taken place. He promises to find Rotom so a proper battle can happen, and the surrounding guests murmur their agreement. Annoyed, Mantle agrees to the conditions.

Ash and company bring Weston to the storeroom Rotom brought them to in the present, convincing a confused Weston that they're on his side, and call out to Rotom. Rotom emerges from its hiding place, and Weston apologizes to it for rashly agreeing to the battle. Weston reveals that neither he nor Rotom have any experience in battling, and Bonnie asks Clemont if he can help. Clemont analyzes that Rotom is at a severe disadvantage since Krookodile's a {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Dark}}-type, while Rotom is an {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}}-type. However, he catches sight of a washing machine nearby, and figures out a plan.

Back at the battlefield, Mantle is close to running out of patience, but Ash and the group arrive on time to have the battle. Weston begins by ordering {{m|Electro Ball}}, but Krookodile easily shakes it off. Serena realizes that Weston forgot about the battle plan in his panic, and the group reminds him. Weston orders Rotom to fly into a power outlet and escape, which it does; Mantle mocks him for Rotom's apparent cowardice. However, Rotom has actually traveled back to the storeroom to possess the washing machine there, turning into its Wash Forme before going back to the arena, much to the surprise of Mantle and the guests. Per Clemont's advice, Weston has Rotom blast Krookodile with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Krookodile remains standing after taking significant damage. Mantle complains that Weston is violating the rules of their 1-on-1 battle, but Weston points out that Rotom is still the same Pokémon even though its forme changed. Mantle orders a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which disintegrates the washing machine just as Rotom leaves it.

The group notes how hardy Krookodile is, and Serena calls Weston to go for "Plan B". Weston has Rotom disappear again, and this time it possesses a refrigerator to turn into its Frost Forme. Upon returning, Rotom fires its {{m|Blizzard}} at Krookodile and freezes it, but Krookodile breaks free at Mantle's command and tears the refrigerator to shreds with its {{m|Crunch}}. Weston goes into "Plan C", with Rotom possessing a lawnmower in its Mow Forme, and catches Krookodile in a {{m|Leaf Storm}} that finally knocks the Intimidation Pokémon out.

Weston firmly orders Mantle's group to leave, but Mantle simply declares that he'll just take over the hotel by force; his buddies arm themselves, ready to trash the place. Angry that Mantle never had any intention of honoring the deal, Ash teams up with Weston, having both Pikachu and Rotom fry Mantle's gang with a double {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Completely defeated, Mantle surrenders to the cheers of the guests, and Weston thanks Ash's group for their help. Shortly after Ash has his picture taken while shaking hands with Weston, Rotom brings them back to the present.

Exiting the elevator, the group is surprised to see the hotel no longer in its dilapidated state, and sounds of cheering rising from the arena. Outside the door, Mantle and his two friends have now put on clerks' uniforms, revealing that they were crooks ten years ago until Weston graciously gave them jobs, and they've been working for him ever since. They welcome Ash's group to the arena, where Weston is hosting a ceremony commemorating the tenth anniversary of his hotel's opening. Rotom, recognizing them, floats over while Weston goes on with his speech, crediting the mysterious boy and his friends who helped him out of nowhere, without even leaving their names. At the back, the guest who'd lost his Pangoro cheers Weston on, his precious partner by his side.

Entering the lobby, the group comments on the pristine state of the hotel, until Bonnie points out the picture of the hotel's owner from ten years ago - which includes all four of them with Weston! Realizing that they really did travel back in time, the group is happy over the adventure they had, and the episode ends.

[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Conkeldurr}}
** There is no Pokémon Holo Caster following this episode, due to it being replaced with a special preview of the [[M17|first ''XY'' series movie]] and a promotion for [[M18|the second]].
* The English dub was released on iTunes and Amazon on September 12, 2015, six days before the episode aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 3 of [[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]] that aired after ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' (''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' through ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'').

* Music from ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' can be heard during the final battle between [[Mantle]]'s {{p|Krookodile}} and [[Weston]]'s {{p|Rotom}}.
* This episode's premise bears some similarities to ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy!]]'' and ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', in which the characters arrive at a place in a state of disarray, go back in time and find a way to fix it so it is not in a state of disarray in their time.
* Rotom talking in the TV set in the episode resembles the one appearing in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Old Chateau]].
* Rotom [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] at the end of the episode by winking at the audience.
* This episode [https://wayback.archive.org/web/20160422/http://www.pokemon.com/de/pokemon-folgen/ was skipped] in the initial rotation on the German [[Pokémon TV]] on April 22, 2016.

===Errors===
* When the elevator clock reveals its lower half, the minus sign is missing from the number one.
* The picture shown near the end of the episode has Bonnie simply winking on it at first, but the second time that it is shown, she is also making a {{wp|V sign}}.
* Clement says that Rotom is weak to Ground-type attacks. However, Rotom's ability Levitate makes Rotom immune to Ground-type moves.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon and formerly, in [[Generation I]], a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or on [[New Mauville]].

==Biology==
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked via body on the bottom, forming a triangle. However, in some cases, commonly seen in 3D Pokémon games, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remaining in a triangular formation at rest, and being able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. The magnetic forces that holds the three Magnemite together is powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature {{tt|3.6 °F|2 °C}} in the vicinity. It can also be disruptive to electronic devices.

Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. [[EP195|As seen in the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. It has been shown [[PS011|in the manga]] that it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], indicating it has existed for at least 1,500 years.

However, later in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', some of them tortured Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge uses two on his shoulder pads in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'' where they produced sonic booms that act as a defensive barrier. Lt. Surge has a squad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|3]], [[Pokémon Adventures volume 7|7]], [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|10]], and [[Pokémon Adventures volume 12|12]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton is originally known as "Recoil."
* Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing, and the only ones to do so until Generation V when {{p|Rotom}}'s formes were given additional typing.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}} which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.
** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton ''is'' clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than it was as Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 6.0 kg, or 13.23 lbs, while Magneton weighs 60.0 kg, or 132.3 lbs.
* Magneton and its evolutionary line have eleven resistances and one immunity, making them and the {{p|Honedge|Honedge}} {{p|Doublade|evolutionary}} {{p|Aegislash|line}} the most resistant Pokémon to date, as no other Pokémon have a higher total amount of resistances and immunities. With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks for five turns, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}} are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magneton has been used by more rival characters than any other Pokémon, being used by three: {{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, and [[Wally]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* As of Generation II, no other Pokémon has the same type combination as Magneton and its evolutionary family.

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three {{p|Magnemite}} which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton may be a reference to ''magneton'', a unit of magnetic movement, or a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. Its name is also a combination of the words ''magnet'' and ''ton'' (referring to Magneton's heaviness).

Rarecoil may be a reference to {{wp|rare-earth magnet}}s.

'''Dunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノコッチ''' ''Nokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Dunsparce is a serpentine Pokémon with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two small, white, bird-like wings split into two sections each. Its body ends in a striped, drill-like tail. Though Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, it avoids detection by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dunsparce anime.png|thumb|left|267px|Dunsparce in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Dunsparce made its anime debut in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where an entire town was full of children with Dunsparce.

A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''. {{Ash}} tried to catch it, but [[Iris's Axew]] bumped into [[Ash's Pikachu]], which led to the Dunsparce escaping.

A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]''. Ash wanted to catch it, but then realized he didn't bring any [[Poké Ball]]s with him, thus letting the Land Snake Pokémon get away.

===Minor appearances===
A Dunsparce was seen in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

A Dunsparce made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'' in {{p|Ariados}}'s web.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Dunsparce appeared in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'' participating in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

A Dunsparce appeared in [[Alexa]]'s [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]].''

Much later, in {{PAV|23}}, [[Lostelle]], who has a Dunsparce, faxed [[Bill]] and informs him of {{adv|Deoxys}}'s rampage and {{adv|Giovanni}}'s subsequent appearance on [[Three Island]].

Many volumes later, in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, [[Roseanne]] is attacked by a pack of {{p|Yanmega}} controlled by [[Mars]]. {{adv|Diamond}} told her to take refuge in the hole her Dunsparce {{m|dig|dug}}.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than {{tt|4'11"|1.5 meters}}, which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the games.
** It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon]], being even smaller than {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Dunsparce was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].

===Origin===
Dunsparce is based on the mythical {{wp|Tsuchinoko}}, a serpentine {{wp|cryptid}} of Japan. Similar to Bigfoot or the Chupacabra, sightings and reports appear in Japanese media; however, hard evidence is always lacking. Tsuchinoko are 30 cm to 80 cm long, with a large head and poisonous fangs. Its body is thicker than its head and tail. The noises it makes resemble squeaks, chirps and snores. Unlike real snakes, which slither from side to side, a Tsuchinoko wiggles ahead in a straight line. The Tsuchinoko curls its body to leap through the air. Moreover, the fact that Dunsparce, a {{wp|snake}}-like creature, has wings also brings to mind the motif of the {{wp|Feathered Serpent}}, a prominent deity or supernatural being in many Mesoamerican religions. In addition, Dunsparce shares some traits with {{wp|bumblebee}}s, including their stripes, tiny wings, stinger-like tail, and the fact that they burrow into the ground. This may be a visual pun inspired by the name "bachi hebi" (literally "bee snake"), which the Tsuchinoko is also known by.

====Name origin====
Dunsparce may be a combination of ''dun'' (''grayish yellow'' or ''gloomy'') and ''sparse'' (referring to its rarity).

Nokocchi is an anagram of ツチノコ ''Tsuchinoko'', a fabled snake-like creature.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto (such as {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters}}) and vice versa.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is mostly the same as Gold and Silver with a few changes and included plot elements exclusive to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]. The {{player}}, either {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}}, begins his/her journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark Town, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark Town, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Soul in HeartGold and Heart in SoulSilver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]]. With the first Gym in [[Violet City]] nearby, the player heads off on their adventure.

Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City Gym. He has just been defeated by Silver and after defeating Li, he gives the player {{m|Flash}}. After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are sacred in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into the [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up that is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. The Day Care functions the same way as in other [[Generation IV]] games.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Plain Badge, getting a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be on at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak City, where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}. The player encounters the [[legendary beasts]] in the [[Burned Tower]] and they [[Roaming Pokémon|run off]] around Johto. The player also meets [[Eusine]] who is studying the Burned Tower and takes interest in {{p|Suicune}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Path]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{key|IV|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the {{p|Magikarp}} in the lake to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}, which caused the effect of the [[Red Gyarados]]. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, a Team Rocket Grunt tells the player only Team Rocket members are permitted to enter the tower. The player then goes into the tunnel, where a Team Rocket Grunt says they are looking for new recruits, then dresses the player in a Team Rocket grunt's uniform. The player is then permitted to enter the tower, but, all of a sudden, Silver enters, and tells the player off for thinking they look tough in the clothing. The player finds out the tower has been taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets and defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket executives}}, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively. The player then is allowed to go through the [[Ice Path]] and to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and take a test before they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player is given the Master Ball by Elm and is requested to visit the Kimono Girls to prove their worthiness. After defeating the Kimono Girls, the player will either go to the Bell Tower{{sup/4|HG}} or the Whirl Islands{{sup/4|SS}} to encounter Ho-Oh{{sup/4|HG}} or Lugia{{sup/4|SS}}. Then the player is allowed to go east of New Bark into Kanto.

From New Bark Town, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]] whom the player met at the Lake of Rage, challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===
The player then returns to their bedroom in New Bark Town. They head downstairs and receive a message that Professor Elm has something for them. Returning to his lab the player receives an {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} for the fast ship [[S.S. Aqua]] departing to the region of [[Kanto]], where many rare Pokémon live. The player boards the ship in Olivine City and is bombarded by a sailor looking for his daughter who got loose on the ship. Searching the whole ship, the player finds a sailor who is angry that his co-worker is asleep on the job. Finding him and challenging him to a battle, he runs out of his cabin to join the mate. The player later finds the missing girl in the bottom of the ship. The girl asks the player to play hide and seek with her. The man from before then finds the girl as she mentions that the player was playing with her. The girl's grandpa thanks the player as the ship arrives at [[Vermilion City]] in Kanto.

Deciding to take on the Gyms of Kanto, the player enters the Gym in Vermilion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{t|Electric}} types, and earning the {{Badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the Gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{t|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{Badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll. Going back to Vermilion's [[Pokémon Fan Club]] the player sees the {{key|IV|Lost Item}} and retrieves it bringing it back to the copycat who gives the player a {{key|IV|pass}} to the Saffron [[Magnet Train]].

The player then travels west of Saffron to [[Celadon City]] and travels to the Gym taking on [[Erika]] and winning the {{Badge|Rainbow}}. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the [[Kanto Power Plant]] where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running. Traveling north of Saffron to [[Cerulean City]] the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the Gym. Traveling north onto {{rt|24|Kanto}}, the player finds and battles a [[Team Rocket]] grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknownst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player. The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the Gym and retrieves the {{key|IV|Machine Part}}. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again made up and running.

The player then moves through the [[Rock Tunnel]], arriving at [[Lavender Town]], where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto. Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the Power Plant. Traveling the length of the [[Kanto Route 12|Silence Bridge]] and [[Route]]s {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, the player arrives at [[Fuchsia City]] and takes on the Gym Leader [[Janine]] who specializes in {{t|Poison}} types winning the {{Badge|Soul}}. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds [[Misty]] with her boyfriend at [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]]. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed, a challenger. The player returns to Cerulean Gym and takes on Misty's {{t|Water}} types winning the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

Returning again to Vermilion City, the player recalls the large Pokémon sleeping outside the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] on the eastern edge of town. He/she plays the Poké Flute Station on their radio which awakens and angers the Pokémon, a giant {{p|Snorlax}}. After capturing, defeating, or running away from it, the player enters and goes through the Diglett's Cave emerging on {{rt|2|Kanto}} just south of [[Pewter City]]. The player goes north to Pewter City and challenges [[Brock]] and his {{t|Rock}} types and earns the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

The player travels south across Route 2 and through [[Viridian Forest]] before arriving at [[Viridian City]]. The player then continues south to [[Pallet Town]] and surfs to [[Cinnabar Island]]. There, the player sees {{ga|Blue}} who mentions how the town previously found on the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and that the town's Gym Leader had to relocate his Gym to the nearby [[Seafoam Islands]]. Blue then goes back to his own Gym in Viridian. The player travels east to the Seafoam Islands and find's [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym within the islands and challenges him to earn the {{Badge|Volcano}}.

The player travels back to Viridian City and challenges Blue in his Gym, which does not seem to have any specialty in types, and defeats him to earn the {{Badge|Earth}}. The player goes back to Pallet Town and visits [[Professor Oak]] in his laboratory. Oak sees that the player has earned all of the Gym Badges in Kanto and, after giving him/her the [[HM08]], decides to allow him to enter [[Mt. Silver]], a mountain so dangerous the average Trainer is not allowed to enter it, to challenge {{ga|Red}} who has been the champion of Kanto for three years and trains there constantly. The player goes to Mt. Silver and climbs to the top to find Red training mutely, and challenges him to a battle. After a hard-fought battle, the player defeats Red becoming the new champion of Kanto and Red walks away without saying a word. The credits roll again.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal==
===Gameplay===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] are retained when a Pokémon is following the player. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A' while facing it, so they can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball. The player's lead Pokémon will always follow them except in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[game mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the game mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from {{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater|the Dance Theater}} in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[game mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]]{{sup/4|HG}}/[[Whirl Islands]]{{sup/4|SS}} where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}}/{{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}}.
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were originally battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theater in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the {{key|IV|Apricorn Box}}. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.
* While the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}} allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the [[Clear Bell]] in HeartGold and the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. (Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.)
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward. For example, the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear must be obtained to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and game mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* The [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* Similar to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}} in Platinum, two in-game events are unlocked through the use of {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon. The [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained, and an event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Generation II games, but did not appear. These events effectively replace the [[GS Ball]] event formerly found in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}.
* The [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]].
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]], allowing the other Eon Pokémon to be battled (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively) in a non-roaming encounter.
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* The [[Gracidea]] can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[friendship]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from {{tc|Juggler}}s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's {{jo|mom}} (if the player allows their mom to save money). A few Berries cannot be collected in these games and must by traded over from other versions, similar to in FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the {{key|IV|Berry Pots}}, where the {{key|IV|SquirtBottle}} is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* Passing certain parts in the game can also affect the rematches by improving the team of the Trainers that can be re-battled. By defeating the Elite Four and then after collecting the 16 Badges the Pokémon team of that Trainer are fought at higher levels as long as each rematch phase has been fought at least once.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 Badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* An addition to the {{pkmn|breeding}} system is introduced where one of the three random {{IV}}s inherited by the offspring can be guaranteed if one of the parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item]].
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[Move Tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other Move Tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to {{game|Crystal}}, the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto and Kanto.
* The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
* Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
* In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym Trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Route]]s {{rtn|4|Kanto}} and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{game|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.
* Any special Pokémon, such as {{p|Sudowoodo}}, will respawn to their specific location after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]] if they were defeated instead of caught the first time.
* The ability to decorate the player's room, a feature introduced in the original Gold and Silver, is absent.
* After defeating the Elite Four, [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] can identify [[Pokémon outbreak]]s daily when accessed through the [[Pokégear]]'s radio. This also includes the six Generation II Pokémon whose outbreak formerly occurred when a specific trainer whose number that was stored in the Pokégear would contact the player to report the outbreak during Generation II.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.

===Areas===
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it exactly the same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new {{safari|Johto}}, as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Pewter City]] and the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] are open, although the latter is packing up.
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.
* The {{rt|23|Kanto}} in Generation II is now a part of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Route 23 no longer exists.

===Graphics===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
[[File:Pokédex HGSS.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including five [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
** The [[National Pokédex]] must now be unlocked, unlike in the originals where it was available immediately.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s are redesigned once again. The Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}}s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like how [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* The Tin Tower is renamed the [[Bell Tower]].
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* All former [[Berry (Generation II)|Berry]] trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] Badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* All Kanto Gym Leaders give out [[TM]]s.
* If the player turns off the battle scene in the Options menu, the Pokémon will not be animated when they come into battle, whereas in Platinum they were.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The player can now see how many Kanto Badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto Badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music is changed, with [[Slowpoke Well]], [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by [[Union Cave]], [[Dark Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[Statistic|stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[Nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral Nature, none of the stats will be colored.
* The [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] contains balconies that are used to navigate through the tower. While on the balconies, the overhead viewing angle of the player changes. This is the first such instance of camera angle variation in the core series games and would later be implemented in different variations in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[friendship]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Pokémon outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug-Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

===[[Game-exclusive Pokémon]]===
As in all [[core series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in one of the paired games, but not the other. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games. Much of the music is remixed from the music of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It serves as the closest approximation to a soundtrack release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, which are the only paired versions that lack an official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. Discs 1 and 2 of the soundtrack contain the rearrangements of Generation II music, in addition to the music assigned to new areas. Disc 3 of the soundtrack (based on the [[GB Sounds]] feature), is meant to emulate the style of 8-bit music. However, not all of the GB Sounds music is available on the CD.

==Trivia==
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon.
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es shared between regions, like {{tc|Hiker}}s and {{tc|Psychic}}s, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* The font used for the English titles of these games was changed from the one that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color. The fonts are Athenaeum Bold, Futura Extra Bold and Helvetica Black Condensed, respectively.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the first in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens. They differ with HeartGold's intro featuring Ho-Oh at dawn and SoulSilver having Lugia at dusk (both at the beginning); additionally at the end with Suicune on the cliff, the screen moves towards the sky in HeartGold and towards the ocean in SoulSilver.
** They are the only remakes with this distinction, as {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}} use an update of the opening from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the previous paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* There is a minor quirk involving the [[Poké Mart]] signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon following them, such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original {{2v2|Red|Blue}}) to be released in {{pmin|Latin America}} in Spanish.
* In the Japanese and Korean versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In the Western localizations, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type that existed at the time except the {{t|Ground}} type. However, [[Giovanni]], a former Kanto Gym Leader who specialized in the Ground type, appears during a special event and can be battled.
* Unlike {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver do not track sudden changes of the system's clock, tricking the games into thinking it is a new day, letting daily events happen instead of them not occuring due to the games knowing the date has been changed.
* Although the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s were changed in the non-Japanese releases, all versions (Japanese, Korean, and Western) have every map of the Game Corners: in the Japanese versions, the maps related to [[Voltorb Flip]] and [[Mr. Game]] are unused and have no events or warps programmed, while the Korean and Western versions have the original maps with their warps intact, plus the event to interact with the clerk is still present and the interface used to buy [[coin]]s is functional and was translated. {{TM|78|Captivate}} also remains in the unused Goldenrod Game Corner in the Korean and Western versions, and the [[slot machine]]s in the leftover maps trigger [[Voltorb Flip]] in these versions.

==Typographical errors==
* {{p|Froslass}}'s entry in SoulSilver's (but not HeartGold's) Pokédex has a typo where the period at the end of the sentence is missing.
* A second nearly unnoticeable typo appears in both versions during [[Professor Oak]]'s congratulations speech, when the player has a completely filled [[National Pokédex]] (minus event Pokémon). One of his sentences, "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!", uses a lowercase L instead of a capital I.
* On page 6 the North American manual for HeartGold, it is mentioned that "In order to catch all the Pokémon in the Johto region and complete your Pokédex, you must trade with the ''Pokémon '''HeartGold''' Version''" when it should say "with the ''Pokémon '''SoulSilver''' Version''". This error is not present in the SoulSilver manual, which correctly identifies the correct opposite game.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|change forms]].
*When it does not possess an appliance, it is '''Normal Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
*When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}} it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
*When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}} it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
*When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}} it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
*When it possesses an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
*When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

Depending on the game, its form can be changed at will in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Rotom's Room in [[Silph Co.]], the store room in [[Shopping Mall Nine]], on the second floor of [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Lab in [[Lumiose City]], or in [[Professor Birch]]'s Lab in [[Littleroot Town]].

In Generation IV, it was {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} regardless of its form.

==Biology==
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|left|Rotom transforming]]
Rotom has a body of plasma and is shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. [[DP105|As seen in the anime]], Rotom will often pull pranks on unsuspecting people. [[XY080|Also seen in the anime]], Rotom has the ability to time travel.

[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|150px|Rotom and the appliances]]
Rotom has the ability to enter and control appliances. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, it also has five extra forms, each based on a household appliance, which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. The possessed appliances are based on a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} (Fan Rotom), and a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes form, its eyes and electric aura change colors and its aura appendages take on different shapes: red with oven mitts as Heat Rotom, blue with clothespins as Wash Rotom, purple with lightning bolts as Frost Rotom, yellow with air curls as Fan Rotom, and green with a ripped strip as Mow Rotom.

{{main|Diamond's Rotom}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Rotom is a rare and mysterious Pokémon. It first appeared at the [[Old Chateau]] where it caused havoc for {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there.

It appeared again when Diamond and Pearl returned to the Old Chateau to try to protect it from [[Charon]]. Like in its previous appearance, Rotom caused havoc for the boys and ran away to the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] where it transformed into its 5 forms and attacked them. Eventually Diamond found out it was just trying to play with them and bonded with it. After telling Rotom of their plan to protect it, Rotom decided to join them.

During the subsequent fight against Charon and {{p|Giratina}}, Rotom initially joined the battle transforming into its five forms, then left the fighting to the other legendary Pokémon only to strike at the very last, destroying Charon's device that allowed him to control every Pokémon and thus putting an end to his evil plans.

After that, Rotom decided to stay with Diamond.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Rotom appears in [[PMDP47]] along with all of its forms.

==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered in the Old Chateau in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|Legendary}} encounters, although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-Legendary Pokémon to do this.
* When Rotom transforms, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. The move is replaced by another if Rotom possesses another object, and is deleted when Rotom transforms back to its normal form. If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternate forms of a Pokémon not featured in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the lightest Electric-type Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|genderless}} in the anime.
* Both Trainers shown to own a Rotom in the anime or games ({{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Weston]]) are elderly males.

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is only the third Pokémon to have its types changed, after {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}: in Generation IV, its alternate forms shared the Electric/Ghost type combination with normal Rotom, but in Generation V, their Ghost type was exchanged for the type of their specialty move, with Heat Rotom being Electric/Fire, Wash Rotom being Electric/Water, Fan Rotom being Electric/Flying, Frost Rotom being Electric/Ice, and Mow Rotom being Electric/Grass.
** This makes Rotom the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a pre-existing type.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Normal, Heat, Frost, and Mow Rotom.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the Ability Levitate, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms except Mow Rotom are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms are the lightest Pokémon of their secondary types.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be [[List of references to Pulseman|based on]] {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}". The formes that Rotom changes into are based on different electrical appliances: Heat Rotom is based on a microwave oven, Wash Rotom is based on a washing machine, Fan Rotom is based on an electric fan, Frost Rotom is based on a refrigerator, and Mow Rotom is based on a lawn mower.

====Name origin====
Rotom is ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.

In {{game|Platinum}}, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.
