[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|thumb|{{p|Cherrim}} changing between forms in the anime]]
Pokémon with official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals are known as '''alternate forms'''. These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]]; however, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}} and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. In Generation VI, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several [[Legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''form'').

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pikachu===
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of {{pkmn|Contest}} category ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn an exclusive move associated with that Contest category. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]].

If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest]], a Breeder will give the player Cosplay Pikachu. Unlike regular Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]]; however, they can be traded between copies of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or be [[trade]]d, and she cannot be [[Poké Transfer|transferred]] to the [[Generation V]] games.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Dex]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player had caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shiniess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different forms, which its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}} causes it to change between in different [[weather conditions]]. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.

Normally, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

In [[intense sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed depending on its form.

In the [[Generation III]] games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme. This is the form Deoxys appears in in the player's possession in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its {{stat|Speed}} is also significantly lower than its Normal Form.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves.

Deoxys has the same {{stat|HP}} stat in all of its forms.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[Weather conditions|weather]]. During [[intense sunlight]], it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form.

In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===

In [[Sinnoh]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mt. Coronet]], and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

*Normal Rotom, which has not possessed an appliance, is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{key|IV|Secret Key}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]]. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]]. Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.

Upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget the special move associated with that appliance form. Upon changing into an appliance form, it will learn the special move associated with the form. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form; in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Rotom are always in normal form.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different [[type]]s.

Arceus's type depends on its held [[Plate]], becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances, remaining {{type|Normal}} when not holding a Plate.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs. Additionally, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} only while holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is dummy data and a sprite programmed for a {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, but it cannot be obtained as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins. These forms are non-interchangable.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and is listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]). However, Blue-Striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color.

The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a [[seasons|season]]. These forms are purely cosmetic.

In the [[Generation V]] games, if the player steps outside from a [[cave]] or building such that the season changes, any Deerling and Sawsbuck in their party will change form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI]], all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Deerling are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Deerling's different forms differ only in their coat.
*Spring Form Deerling have a pink coat
*Summer Form Deerling have a green coat
*Autumn Form Deerling have an orange coat
*Winter Form Deerling have a brown coat

Sawsbuck's different forms differ in significant ways, particularly their antlers.
*Spring Form Sawsbuck have flowers in their antlers
*Summer Form Sawsbuck have leaves in their antlers, a lack of fur at their neck and legs, a mane, and upright tail
*Autumn Form Sawsbuck have wilting brown leaves in their antlers
*Winter Form Sawsbuck have white antlers and sections of thicker white fur

===Forces of Nature{{anchor|Tornadus}}{{anchor|Thundurus}}{{anchor|Landorus}}===
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a [[Reveal Glass]], they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.

In the [[Generation V]] games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which they were introduced in.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and [[held item]]. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]].

White Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

===Genesect===
In the games, {{p|Genesect}} changes forms when a [[Drive]] is attached to its back. These forms have no direct effect, although they do change the type of Genesect's [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a Shock Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a Burn Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a Chill Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have an ice blue Drive.
*If a Douse Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate appearances are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Vivillon===
{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of its [[original Trainer]]'s [[Nintendo 3DS]]. This form cannot be changed. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is set when the save file is created.

Bred {{p|Scatterbug}} will evolve into {{p|Vivillon}} with the same pattern as that of the breeding player's game, regardless of its parents.

There are also two {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive patterns, the Poké Ball Pattern and the Fancy Pattern. The Poké Ball Pattern resembles a standard {{ball|Poké}}, and was first [[List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Paris Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] in Paris, France to promote the temporary {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store. The Fancy Pattern was [[GTS Fancy Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] via the [[Nintendo Network]] from July 8 to 31, 2014 to celebrate the GTS's 100 millionth Pokémon trade.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}}===
{{p|Flabébé}} and {{p|Floette}} can hold five different-colored flowers based on the color of the flower bed they were caught in: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. When Floette evolves into {{p|Florges}}, it maintains that color flower. The color of the flower cannot be changed.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother.

Since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{pkmn|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended in ages past. The flower it wields has a different design than normal; it also has a blue, red, and white color instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the French national flag.

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims will only last five days after the player has groomed the Pokémon, or until the player deposits it in the PC.

Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] or at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]]. At both locations, grooming costs {{PDollar}}500. At Friseur Furfrou, the player cannot initially select from all of the trims, with trims being unlocked gradually as the {{player}} becomes more stylish.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}{{anchor|Gourgeist}}===
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are more rare to encounter in the wild.

Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or as the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]].

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the [[Party|Pokémon]] screen, and [[Pokémon-Amie]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns also light up in several colors.

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two forms it can change between using the [[Prison Bottle]].

Normally, Hoopa Confined is the form taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}; however, Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days or when deposited in the [[PC]]. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

Currently, the Prison Bottle as well as Hoopa Unbound has not been officially revealed nor obtainable in-game yet.

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

== Fail rate ==
I read [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEAVyG2Hs_A there] that a Pokémon with catch rate 3, full hp and no ailments can get out Master ball with 0.4% chance. It is true? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 21:31, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, that is true. Master Balls can fail. [[User:LoganZezima|-LZ]] 04:14, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... since the Master Ball CAN fail (albeit the chances are astronomical), does that mean the Park Ball will fail too? They are both 255 times more potent than a regular Pokeball, so... what WOULD happen if the Park Ball failed, if it could? [[User:Gold3263301|Gold3263301]] 11:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
:You know that's a good question. I'm assuming that you won't be able to get the Pokémon you sent over, unless it would let you go and find it again. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
The Master Ball CANNOT fail within the current parameters in the latest games. If you read the [[Catch rate]] article, the variable ''a'' would equal 255 with maximum HP, no status condition, and the Master Ball, the "worst case scenario" when using it ((3xHPmax - 2xHPmax) * 3 * 1 * 255 / 3xHPmax). Since the probability of catching a Pokemon is 1 if ''a'' equals 255, it will always work. The Youtube info only refers to RBGY. I don't know why the trivia is there; it should be removed as it's patently false. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 03:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Colosseum Requirement ==
Something I found out which is quite interesting; if you visit Eagun after receiving his master ball email but don't open it, he won't give the master ball, instead apologising for his not sending of any emails. If you then read the email while still in his house and then talk to him, he will ask if his email was received and then hand over the master ball. It isn't quite a glitch but an oddity.

== Black/white 2 trivia ==

Could it be worth mentioning that Black2/White2 is the only game that you can get(for sure, without lotto) more than 1 masterball? {{Unsigned|PortalDark|15:49, 29 October 2012‎}}
:No. You could get two in Black/White without lotto. One in the storyline, one from the guy in Castelia's Pokémon Centre after making 50 trades. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

== a/an ==

"The Master Ball is the only item that cannot be sold that is neither a key item, an HM,"
Just wondering if the an before HM is intentional or if it's a typo, because to my understanding, since H is not a vowel, it should be a, not an, shouldn't it? Or am I simply confused? --[[User:Bomyne|Bomyne]] ([[User talk:Bomyne|talk]]) 21:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually, no, an is used when the word afterwards begins with a vowel ''''sound'''' not a vowel. H is pronounced "ahch" or something like that and therefore uses an. (Similar being hour (an) and one (a). Also, hello Bom. I don't know how to make indents. waterlubber 23:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

They are both 255 times more potent than a regular Pokeball, so... what WOULD happen if the Park Ball failed, if it could? [[User:Gold3263301|Gold3263301]] 11:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
:You know that's a good question. I'm assuming that you won't be able to get the Pokémon you sent over, unless it would let you go and find it again. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
The Master Ball CANNOT fail within the current parameters in the latest games. If you read the [[Catch rate]] article, the variable ''a'' would equal 255 with maximum HP, no status condition, and the Master Ball, the "worst case scenario" when using it ((3xHPmax - 2xHPmax) * 3 * 1 * 255 / 3xHPmax). Since the probability of catching a Pokemon is 1 if ''a'' equals 255, it will always work. The Youtube info only refers to RBGY. I don't know why the trivia is there; it should be removed as it's patently false. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 03:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Colosseum Requirement ==
Something I found out which is quite interesting; if you visit Eagun after receiving his master ball email but don't open it, he won't give the master ball, instead apologising for his not sending of any emails. If you then read the email while still in his house and then talk to him, he will ask if his email was received and then hand over the master ball. It isn't quite a glitch but an oddity.

== Black/white 2 trivia ==

Could it be worth mentioning that Black2/White2 is the only game that you can get(for sure, without lotto) more than 1 masterball? {{Unsigned|PortalDark|15:49, 29 October 2012‎}}
:No. You could get two in Black/White without lotto. One in the storyline, one from the guy in Castelia's Pokémon Centre after making 50 trades. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

== a/an ==

"The Master Ball is the only item that cannot be sold that is neither a key item, an HM,"
Just wondering if the an before HM is intentional or if it's a typo, because to my understanding, since H is not a vowel, it should be a, not an, shouldn't it? Or am I simply confused? --[[User:Bomyne|Bomyne]] ([[User talk:Bomyne|talk]]) 21:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Actually, no, an is used when the word afterwards begins with a vowel ''''sound'''' not a vowel. H is pronounced "ahch" or something like that and therefore uses an. (Similar being hour (an) and one (a). Also, hello Bom. waterlubber 23:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

List of Pokémon by weight

2015-03-31T00:29:06Z

Waterlubber: /* Game mechanics affected by weight */

This is a '''[[list of Pokémon]] by their weight''', from the lightest (0.1 {{wp|Kilogram|kg}}/0.2 {{wp|Pound (mass)|lbs.}}) to the heaviest (999.7 kg/2204.4 lbs.).

==Game mechanics affected by weight==
{{incomplete|section|G6 weight intervals for the visual and sound effects}}
Weight affects the following {{pkmn|games|game}} mechanics. Note that [[Game Freak]] uses weight in kilograms for all the cutoffs and, therefore, {{wp|Metric system|metric values}} are shown first, followed by {{wp|United States customary units|United States customary values}}.

* The [[move]]s {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} have a base power of 20, with an additional 20 when the target's weight is above 10 (22.0), 25 (55.1), 50 (110.2), 100 (220.5), and 200 kg (440.9 lbs.), successively.
* The moves {{m|Heat Crash}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}} have a base power of 120, with a subtractive 20 when the target's weight is, relative to the user's weight, ⅕-¼, ¼-⅓, ⅓-½, and >½, successively.
* Pokémon weighing more than 20.0 kg (44.1 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the [[Fancy Cup]].
* Pokémon weighing more than 100.0 kg (220.5 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the [[Light Cup]].
* In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], using a {{ball|Heavy}} modifies the [[catch rate]] of the targeted Pokémon depending on its weight.

* A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Heavy Metal}} or {{a|Light Metal}} functions as if it weighed twice or half the weight listed in the Pokédex, respectively.
* Since [[Generation V]], certain visual and sound effects are applied when a Pokémon lands on the floor of a battlefield, depending on the Pokémon's weight; this is not affected by {{a|Light Metal}} or {{a|Heavy Metal}}:
** Small shake and high-pitched landing noise for Pokémon weighing less than 50 kg (110.2 lbs.). 
** Medium shake and lower landing noise for Pokémon weighing at least 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) but less than 150 kg (330.7 lbs.). 
** Heavy shake, crashing sound and dust for Pokémon weighing 150 kg (330.7 lbs.) or more.

Waterlubber: /* ΩRAS */

== Add something to Trivia? ==

I think we should add that this move can be learned by most of the pokemon (123 in Generation IV). Or that this is the most learned Water type in this game so far.
:no, because moves like {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Toxic}} can be learned by ANYONE. itd be like saying {{m|Fly}} can be learned by almost any Flying type. its self explanitory. Surf = water type. therefor, almost all the water types can learn it, along with the odd one here and there. [[User:MAGNEDETH|MAGNEDETH]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|TALK]] 04:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== Hidden beta item ==

I think we should add this little trivia fact (I have done this, and it works!):
There's a hidden key item in the Generation 1 games called ????? that allows you to Surf outside of battle without the need for HM03. It can be obtained with the Gameshark code for item modifying, with the hex variable set to 07. If the game is saved while the code is active, the item stays in the pouch like any other key item, even after the GameShark is removed. To use, just go up to water, and select it from the item pouch. The item was created in the beta versions, and later made unavailable, but not removed entirely. --[[User:Fsilone|隼也

Shouldn't it be pointed out that Surf's Base Power drops if facing two opponents in a Double Battle? And that the Base Power is restored if there's only 1 opponent left in the Double Battle. Well, it is in Gen III anyway. I don't know if the partner-hitting properties of Surf added in Gen IV changes that last fact. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 23:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

== PIka Surf ==

Red's Pika in the adventures know surf. Pikachu can learn normaly not surf. Onlly from a event. So why we do not use a picture of Pika that surf uses.--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
::::--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
:In a nutshell, Red's Pika uses Surf by forming its Subsitute to look like a surfboard. The description for the move entries is to describe how the Pokemon in question use the attack. Not all Pikachu are going to know Substitute ''and'' Surf at the same time. It's sort of the same deal with ChuChu's Fly: we can't list it because it ties balloons to itself. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==
Shouldn't we have images of the non-Pikachu surf in PBR and the non-Pikachu outside of battle images for Gen I and Gen II? These are unique cases after all. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 22:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

== Tauros ==

Tauros temporarily lost ability to learn Surf in Generation III (according to article), despite being able to learn it in Generation II, IV and V. This is the first time I saw such oddity in learnset of HM (discounting the moves that lost their HM status). Is it worth noting? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 17:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
:Tauros can learn Surf in Generation III. It must have not been added or something. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:26, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

==Surfing sprite==
" In Generation I, a Dewgong is shown (although this was just the Water-type sprite; unless Pikachu is surfing, where a surfing Pikachu sprite is shown instead)."
There is no way that anyone knows that that's a Dewgong. The only resemblance between it and a Dewgong is that they are both white and have flippers and a tail. Who's to say it's not a Seel? It doesn't really look like either of the two if you ask me. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

== Quibbles with Diablo del Oeste ==

First and least importantly, I don't think it's necessary to mention the change in Surfing Pikachu's color, since it only exists because of the way Gen I had to change the entire palette of the game, while Gen II could handle more colors simultaneously.

Secondly, the Gen III sprites. Look at the RSE sprite and look at Wailmer. The flippers are completely different, there's no underbelly, and generally speaking, there are practically zero distinguishing characteristics to identify it as any particular Pokemon. I don't agree that the FRLG sprite is recognizable as Poliwrath, but I can see where there's more wiggle room than RSE. The backside is difficult to make out even when zoomed in, but to me it looks more like a two-pronged tail than legs. The top of the head is rounded, without bumps for its eyes. And if it were meant to be Poliwrath, you'd think its prominent arms would be featured. Nope, I really think both Gen III sprites are just generic sprites. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 08:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

:So you say that my edits are quibbles? Well, I find this disgusting and disrespectful. I reported you to Magnedeth, he will take care of your aggressiveness. I found in your user page that you like being aggresive to other users, well, let's see if this kind of behavior will make you last.

:Now, about the sprites. I think it's necessary to mention the change in color in Generation II, because this time Surfing Pikachu was given a fixed color, not the inconstant palettes of Gen I everytime you moved into a city. We mentioned the difference between red and blue Lapras, well, why not Surfing Pikachu between both generations, too? About the Wailmer one, I think it can't be confused with another Pokémon, its body shape is clearly from a Wailmer. And moreover, when the Wailmers are blocking the route east of Lilycove City in Generation III, their sprites are shown, I don't see how low resolution has something to do with this. And about Poliwrath, well let's see what we've got here, the sprite is blue, it has eyes that protrude from the body, it has the same legs, it doesn't looks like Seaking or Cloyster, or any other Generation I Water-type. So it clearly resembles the anatomy of a Poliwrath (or in any case, Poliwhirl). And that's why they are recognizable sprites, not like those from Gen IV onwards which aren't.--[[User:Diablo del Oeste|Diablo del Oeste]] ([[User talk:Diablo del Oeste|talk]]) 09:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
::What? My intention is not aggression at all. You're completely misreading my tone.
::I apologize for the use of the word "quibble"; I did not mean it as an insult to you or your intended edits, but merely to signify that flavor-related things such as this are less important to the article than things like learnset tables or battle/contest statistics.
::I'll concede to you that mentioning the 1/2 color change is notable, but I think it would fit better on another page rather than this one because the palette change is broader in scope than just surfing sprites. I've added it to the {{DL|Generation II|Major alterations from Generation I include|Generation II}} page; if this is not acceptable to you, just say so.
::I'd like to wait for more people's opinions on the Gen III sprites than just ours because I am convinced they're generic, but I won't push the issue if other people agree with you. I've said what I wanted to say above, so if that's not persuasive enough, so be it. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

== Lapras in Gev VI ==

So, I found out about this a few days ago and wanted to share this with everyone:

In Pokemon X/Y, if one uses Surf which a Lapras has learned, instead of the casual "boat", said Lapras appears. This obviously is a reference to the anime, when Ash was riding his Lapras during the Orange Islands season of the anime. {{unsigned|Tasos500}}
:That's already noted on both this and Lapras' page. And no it isn't. The anime didn't invent the concept of riding on a Lapras. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 20:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
::Then what is it a reference to? [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 02:54, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Why does it have to be a reference to anything? Why can't it just be a plain old Lapras? But if you insist on it being a reference, it's more likely to be a reference to the fact that in Gen I (and II), Lapras was the overworld minisprite for Surfing. Gen VI is really heavy with references to Gen I (Snorlax, for instance), so in the off chance this is a reference to anything, I think that's the most likely candidate. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:::(On second glance, it looks like I misremembered; Seel is the minisprite in Gen I. Lapras was in Gen II, though, so it still sort of stands. And I still think it doesn't have to be a reference at all.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

== ΩRαS ==

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they've introduced a lot of new mechanics into surfing, more Pokémon have custom sprites, and at least one (Sharpedo) has a different speed then other Pokémon that can surf, I know it should be added into the article, but I'm not quite sure what all Pokémon have differences, or how the best way to add it in would be.
I know that Lapras, Wailmer, and Sharpedo all have custom surfing sprites, but I'm not sure whether or not that's all of them.
And Sharpedo has a different speed then other Pokémon, being the speed of the Mach bike rather than running speed.
Anyone know of some others? -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 19:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

==Squirtle?==
I know Squirtle has never outright used the move surf but the move page indicates that it has.

Shouldn't it be pointed out that Surf's Base Power drops if facing two opponents in a Double Battle? And that the Base Power is restored if there's only 1 opponent left in the Double Battle. Well, it is in Gen III anyway. I don't know if the partner-hitting properties of Surf added in Gen IV changes that last fact. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 23:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

== PIka Surf ==

Red's Pika in the adventures know surf. Pikachu can learn normaly not surf. Onlly from a event. So why we do not use a picture of Pika that surf uses.--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
::::--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
:In a nutshell, Red's Pika uses Surf by forming its Subsitute to look like a surfboard. The description for the move entries is to describe how the Pokemon in question use the attack. Not all Pikachu are going to know Substitute ''and'' Surf at the same time. It's sort of the same deal with ChuChu's Fly: we can't list it because it ties balloons to itself. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Tauros ==

Tauros temporarily lost ability to learn Surf in Generation III (according to article), despite being able to learn it in Generation II, IV and V. This is the first time I saw such oddity in learnset of HM (discounting the moves that lost their HM status). Is it worth noting? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 17:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

==Surfing sprite==
" In Generation I, a Dewgong is shown (although this was just the Water-type sprite; unless Pikachu is surfing, where a surfing Pikachu sprite is shown instead)."
There is no way that anyone knows that that's a Dewgong. The only resemblance between it and a Dewgong is that they are both white and have flippers and a tail. Who's to say it's not a Seel? It doesn't really look like either of the two if you ask me. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

== Quibbles with Diablo del Oeste ==

First and least importantly, I don't think it's necessary to mention the change in Surfing Pikachu's color, since it only exists because of the way Gen I had to change the entire palette of the game, while Gen II could handle more colors simultaneously.

Secondly, the Gen III sprites. Look at the RSE sprite and look at Wailmer. The flippers are completely different, there's no underbelly, and generally speaking, there are practically zero distinguishing characteristics to identify it as any particular Pokemon. I don't agree that the FRLG sprite is recognizable as Poliwrath, but I can see where there's more wiggle room than RSE. The backside is difficult to make out even when zoomed in, but to me it looks more like a two-pronged tail than legs. The top of the head is rounded, without bumps for its eyes. And if it were meant to be Poliwrath, you'd think its prominent arms would be featured. Nope, I really think both Gen III sprites are just generic sprites. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 08:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

:So you say that my edits are quibbles? Well, I find this disgusting and disrespectful. I reported you to Magnedeth, he will take care of your aggressiveness. I found in your user page that you like being aggresive to other users, well, let's see if this kind of behavior will make you last.

:Now, about the sprites. I think it's necessary to mention the change in color in Generation II, because this time Surfing Pikachu was given a fixed color, not the inconstant palettes of Gen I everytime you moved into a city. We mentioned the difference between red and blue Lapras, well, why not Surfing Pikachu between both generations, too? About the Wailmer one, I think it can't be confused with another Pokémon, its body shape is clearly from a Wailmer. And moreover, when the Wailmers are blocking the route east of Lilycove City in Generation III, their sprites are shown, I don't see how low resolution has something to do with this. And about Poliwrath, well let's see what we've got here, the sprite is blue, it has eyes that protrude from the body, it has the same legs, it doesn't looks like Seaking or Cloyster, or any other Generation I Water-type. So it clearly resembles the anatomy of a Poliwrath (or in any case, Poliwhirl). And that's why they are recognizable sprites, not like those from Gen IV onwards which aren't.--[[User:Diablo del Oeste|Diablo del Oeste]] ([[User talk:Diablo del Oeste|talk]]) 09:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
::What? My intention is not aggression at all. You're completely misreading my tone.
::I apologize for the use of the word "quibble"; I did not mean it as an insult to you or your intended edits, but merely to signify that flavor-related things such as this are less important to the article than things like learnset tables or battle/contest statistics.
::I'll concede to you that mentioning the 1/2 color change is notable, but I think it would fit better on another page rather than this one because the palette change is broader in scope than just surfing sprites. I've added it to the {{DL|Generation II|Major alterations from Generation I include|Generation II}} page; if this is not acceptable to you, just say so.
::I'd like to wait for more people's opinions on the Gen III sprites than just ours because I am convinced they're generic, but I won't push the issue if other people agree with you.

== Lapras in Gev VI ==

So, I found out about this a few days ago and wanted to share this with everyone:

In Pokemon X/Y, if one uses Surf which a Lapras has learned, instead of the casual "boat", said Lapras appears. This obviously is a reference to the anime, when Ash was riding his Lapras during the Orange Islands season of the anime. {{unsigned|Tasos500}}
:That's already noted on both this and Lapras' page. And no it isn't. The anime didn't invent the concept of riding on a Lapras. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 20:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
::Then what is it a reference to? [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 02:54, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Why does it have to be a reference to anything? Why can't it just be a plain old Lapras? But if you insist on it being a reference, it's more likely to be a reference to the fact that in Gen I (and II), Lapras was the overworld minisprite for Surfing. Gen VI is really heavy with references to Gen I (Snorlax, for instance), so in the off chance this is a reference to anything, I think that's the most likely candidate. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:::(On second glance, it looks like I misremembered; Seel is the minisprite in Gen I. Lapras was in Gen II, though, so it still sort of stands. And I still think it doesn't have to be a reference at all.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

== ΩRAS ==

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, they've introduced a lot of new mechanics into surfing, more Pokémon have custom sprites, and at least one (Sharpedo) has a different speed then other Pokémon that can surf, I know it should be added into the article, but I'm not quite sure what all Pokémon have differences, or how the best way to add it in would be.
I know that Lapras, Wailmer, and Sharpedo all have custom surfing sprites, but I'm not sure whether or not that's all of them.
And Sharpedo has a different speed then other Pokémon, being the speed of the Mach bike rather than running speed.
Anyone know of some others? -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 19:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Steel (type)

{{search|in-game type|the TCG type|Metal (TCG)}}
----
{{types}}
The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Steel-type Pokémon are [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]]; [[Steven Stone]], Former {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Hoenn]]; [[Byron]] of [[Canalave City]]; and [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Steel-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

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

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, Steel types are considered to be one of the best types of Pokémon to use. As of [[Generation II]], Steel type is created to balance out the previously overpowered {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Psychic}} types, as both types are resisted by Steel. Prior to [[Generation V]], a pure Steel-type Pokémon had resistances to 11 of the 17 types, making it as the most resistant type. Since [[Generation VI]], that number has decreased to 10 out of the now 18 types, as they no longer resist {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}, but now also resist the {{t|Fairy}}. Steel types also have an immunity to {{type|Poison}} attacks and cannot be {{status|poison}}ed (except when using {{m|Twineedle}} in Generation II or if poisoned while not Steel-type).

In contrast to {{t|Rock}} types, Steel types can hold up to many attacks because of their typically high {{stat|Defense}}. Due to their high capability of defending, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}}) are often used against this types. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual types, which defends usually against one of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.

Pure Steel-type Pokémon have the second greatest amount of resistances. {{t|Electric}}/Steel are the most resistant dual type, having 11 resistances plus an immunity to Poison.

===Offense===
Offensively, it is only recommended that Steel-type moves be used when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]]. There are only three types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fairy}}, the prior two of which are rarely used defensively. Furthermore, the types that do resist Steel aside of itself ({{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Water}}) are common. Most Steel-type Pokémon have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage.

Steel-type Pokémon typically have good {{stat|Attack}} and below-average {{stat|Special Attack}}, though there are some powerful moves in both [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] fields, with a handful in both categories.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Steel-type moves are typically {{OBP|Cool|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 43 Steel-type Pokémon or 5.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 5th rarest type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Steel-type Pokémon of any generation (minus [[Generation I]]), with 12, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Steel-type Pokémon, with four.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Steel-type moves of any generation (minus Generation I), with seven, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type moves, with only {{m|King's Shield|one}}.
* In [[Generation II]], the Steel type saw one type change in a Pokémon family ({{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}), but no change in moves. The opposite is true for the {{t|Dark}} type, which saw one type change in a move ({{m|Bite}}), but no change in a Pokémon.
* All Steel-type moves affect only one Pokémon at a time. Similarly, it is the only type to lack a move that functions differently in [[Double Battle]]s.
* Prior to Generation VI, Steel was the only type that did not have a neutral type match-up with any of the seventeen existing types, considering both the offense and defense of both types. In Generation VI, it was changed so it no longer resisted Dark- or {{type|Ghost}} moves.
* Each of the three [[starter Pokémon|starter]] types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).

{{bulbanews|game}}
'''Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャー {{tt|光|ひかり}}の{{tt|軌跡|きせき}}''' ''Pokémon Ranger: Traces of Light'') is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo DS, the third in the Pokémon Ranger [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off series]] and the sequel to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. The game was first revealed in [[CoroCoro]] on January 13, 2010, and officially announced by Nintendo Japan two days later, with screenshots and artwork. It was released in Japan on March 6, 2010 and in North America on October 4, 2010.

The game follows the same pattern as previous installments in the series, following the story of a new {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} in a new region named [[Oblivia]] as he or she investigates a [[villainous team]] known as the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] and works against their plot to control the region.

==Gameplay==
As with the previous Pokémon Ranger games, the player uses a [[Capture Styler]] to befriend Pokémon by drawing loops around them on the DS's touchscreen. Each loop raises the Pokémon's Friendship Gauge by a certain amount, depending on the Styler's Power, and the Pokémon is captured when the Gauge is filled entirely. The player may lift the stylus between loops, as in Shadows of Almia. If the Capture Line is hit by a Pokémon's attack, the Styler loses Energy, and if the Energy Gauge is depleted entirely, the player loses. The Styler gains experience points with each successful capture and levels up, raising its Energy and Power.

Up to seven captured Pokémon may follow the player as Friend Pokémon, and can use their abilities to help the player in the form of [[Field Move]]s on the field and [[Poké Assist]]s during a capture. The player is partnered with a {{p|Pichu}} carrying a ukulele, nicknamed Ukulele Pichu (Japanese: '''ウクレレピチュー''' ''Ukulele Pichu''), who follows the player around in addition to any Friend Pokémon.

The player must complete various Missions as a Pokémon Ranger over the course of the game. In addition, the player may help the citizens of Oblivia in 51 shorter, optional Quests. Completing Missions and Quests rewards the player with Ranger Points, which may be used to raise the Styler's Energy and Power.

===New features===
* [[Ranger Signs]] allow the player to summon various Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]], the [[legendary beasts]], and the [[Eon duo|Eon Pokémon]] corresponding to the player's gender.
* Friend Pokémon are placed on the field for [[Poké Assists]], and are released if they take damage during this time rather than being automatically released afterward. After a short recharge period, the Poké Assist may be used again.
* Certain targets now require the use of [[Field Move]]s by multiple Pokémon.
* Up to four players may tackle Missions together via a multiplayer mode. These Missions are accessible after Celebi takes the player into Oblivia's [[Cocona_Village#Temples|past]] for the third time.
* Certain Pokémon now have the Fly Field Move, which allows the player to roam Oblivia's {{ra|Sky}} and capture various {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. By speaking to [[Supurna]] in the [[Aqua Resort]], Pokémon captured in the Sky can be added to the player's party. It is also possible to fly directly to locations that the player has already visited.
* Occasionally, the DS must be held vertically to chase certain people and Pokémon underwater.
* Sometimes, wild Pokémon will be "agitated" and the player will need to deplete an agitation meter with the stylus or the Poké Assists before it can be easily captured with the [[Capture Styler]]. Until that happens, it is impossible to flee.
* Previously encountered boss Pokémon can be captured again by speaking to [[Nema]] in [[Rand's House]]. She will use her invention, the "Many Times Any Time Capture Machine", which brings the player to a model of [[Dolce Island]].

===Special Missions===
{{main|Ranger Net#Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs|Ranger Net}}
Special downloadable missions allow players to receive a {{p|Deoxys}}, whose form is determined by how quickly it is captured (multiplayer only), a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, a [[fateful encounter]] [[Shaymin]], and a {{p|Heatran}} with {{m|Eruption}}, which can be transferred to any [[Generation IV]] game only once. All except the Manaphy mission cannot be played until the player finishes the game.

===Extra Missions===
These other missions do not involve transferring a Pokémon to a Generation IV game. "Find Giratina's Griseous Orb!" involves capturing Giratina's formes, and "Pledge to Arceus" involves capturing Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina to later capture Arceus. They can be downloaded on the Ranger Net, but cannot be played before the player beats the game.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game takes place in the [[Oblivia]] region, a peaceful archipelago. The Pokémon Pinchers, who capture and control Pokémon using devices called [[Control Gauntlets]], have been operating individually in the region for some time, but have recently started to act as a group. [[Professor Hastings]] sends two new Rangers, {{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}}, to Oblivia to investigate the Pinchers' actions, and stop them if necessary. Either one may be chosen as the [[player character]]; the other will appear as an NPC with his or her default name.

Several characters from the first two Ranger games make appearances, including Professor Hastings, [[Murph]], and the [[Go-Rock Quads]]. The [[Legendary beasts]], the [[Legendary birds]], the [[Eon duo]], the [[Tower duo]] and {{p|Celebi}} play important roles in the game.

===Synopsis===
While flying to Oblivia, the player and their partner encounter two Pinchers chasing [[Eon duo|Latias or Latios]], depending on the player's gender. The player stalls them long enough to let the Pokémon escape, but the Pinchers' leader, [[Red Eyes]], appears and attacks the player's partner with his plasma cannon. The player intercepts the blast and is knocked off his or her {{p|Staraptor}} into the ocean.

The player washes ashore on [[Dolce Island]], in southwest Oblivia, where the Pokémon Pinchers have just captured many Pokémon. He or she meets Ukulele Pichu and a shipbuilder named [[Booker]], who witnessed the event from afar, explaining that he came when he saw the [[Z.Z. Flyer|"UFOs"]] and was worried about the Pokémon. He invites the player back to his home in [[Cocona Village]], on [[Renbow Island]] to the north, and Ukulele Pichu, worried about its captured friends, joins them.

Back at Booker's house, shortly after the player explains the situation, a village boy named {{ra|Ralph}} rushes over and says that the "UFOs" have returned, headed towards [[Teakwood Forest]], and that a local lumberjack named [[Arley]] pursued them and has not returned. The player and Ralph head after them as well and find the Pinchers in [[Rasp Cavern]], stealing a piece of a stone monument. An angered {{p|Raikou}} appears and chases the Pinchers away.

The piece of the monument is revealed to be something known as an Involith. The Pokémon Pinchers plan to retrieve Involiths from monuments around Oblivia in order to awaken the [[legendary birds]]. Once the three legendary birds awaken, a strong Pokémon will appear and help them in their scheme to control the Oblivia region. However, this angers the [[legendary beasts]]. The player must calm down the legendary beasts, while trying to foil the Pinchers' plan. Although the player manages to prevent [[Blue Eyes]] and [[Red Eyes]] from completing the Pinchers' plan, the leader [[Purple Eyes]] does not want to give up on controlling the Oblivia region.

After the three legendary birds awaken, the player encounters the [[Societea]], a group of four retired thieves behind the actions of the Pokémon Pinchers. They decided to revive their group and took control of the Pokémon Pinchers in hopes of obtaining eternal youth. The Societea revives the ancient [[Sky Fortress]] that was the power source of an Ancient Ruler, and vaporize Dolce Island to show the citizens of Oblivia their power.

Before the player can infiltrate the Sky Fortress, he or she must find the [[Rainbow Grail]] and take it to the Rainbow Dais on the seafloor to summon a {{p|Ho-Oh}}. After he or she captures Ho-Oh, it destroys the barrier around the Sky Fortress. The player may now enter the fortress, which acts as the game's final dungeon, and challenge the Societea. After capturing the {{p|Mewtwo}} controlled by the leader of the Societea, [[Edward]], Purple Eyes appears again and takes control of Mewtwo. After defeating Mewtwo again, the Sky Fortress begins to fall, which would destroy Oblivia. However, Ho-Oh lends the player its power again, making the fortress land safely in the ocean.

==Reception==
Guardian Signs sold 360,000 copies during the first month of its release.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/108/1082917p1.html IGN: Etrian Odyssey 3 Tops Japanese Charts] (retrieved December 24, 2010)</ref> It was met with somewhat positive reviews, receiving an average rating of 69% on Metacritic<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/pokemon-ranger-guardian-signs/critic-reviews MetaCritic: Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs Critic Reviews] (retrieved December 24, 2010)</ref> and a score of 70 from Nintendo Power.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' magazine. Issue 260; page 89. November 2010.</ref> However, its story and gameplay were criticized; IGN reports "if you've played the previous versions and hated them, there isn't much here that will change your mind",<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/112/1125167p1.html IGN: Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs Review] (retrieved December 24, 2010)</ref> and GamePro commenting on "the repetitive puzzle solving and uninteresting story" and stating that it "isn't much of a departure from the last two titles in the series."<ref>[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/216790/pokemon-ranger-guardian-sign/ GamePro: Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Sign review] (retrieved December 24, 2010)</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs}}

==Trivia==
* The game distinguishes between regular "[[legendary Pokémon]]" (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''') and "rare Pokémon" (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン'''), the latter term describing Pokémon obtainable only through events in the core series, such as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** {{p|Phione}} is classified as neither and is found as a regular Pokémon in the wild, providing strong evidence for its lack of official legendary status.
* {{p|Bronzor}} is capable of {{m|teleport}}ing in this game, despite of the fact that [[Game move errors|it shouldn't be able to legally learn the move]].
* The first letters of the islands in the {{p|Oblivia}} region form the musical notes "Do Re Me So Fa La Ti"

Waterlubber: /* Trivia: Mewtwo sign easter egg? */ new section

== Proposing a change from "tracks" to "locus" ==

I've been meaning to bring this up since the game was first announced, but I never got around to typing up my reasoning. I realize it'll be difficult to change others' opinions now, with everyone having gotten used to the title "Tracks of Light," but I might as well try.

I propose that we use the translation of the title "Locus of Light," rather than "Tracks of Light." While it's true that the word used in the title, 軌跡, can be translated as "wagon tracks," that really doesn't seem to fit the premise of the game so much. As stated in the {{jwp|軌跡|Wikipedia article for the term}}, however:

<blockquote>軌跡 (''kiseki'', locus) are wheel tracks left behind by an automobile or the like. It can also be taken to indicate a pioneering action, or emotional growth. See {{jwp|軌跡 (数学)|Locus (mathematics)}}</blockquote>

The word "tracks" doesn't really carry the same meaning. On the other hand, "{{wp|locus}}" can have different meanings:

* {{wp|Locus of control}}, psychological term referring to "a person's belief about what causes the good or bad results in his life"
* {{wp|Locus (mathematics)|Locus}}, a mathematical term referring to a collection of points, "typically applied to a condition which defines... a curve"

Also, "Locus of Light" just plain sounds cooler.

Therefore, I think the title "Locus of Light" would work better than "Tracks of Light." [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 06:03, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with this reasoning. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
::If you want to be more simpler you could just say locus can be defined as "a center or source, as of activities or power"[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loci?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic]. So it's basically Locus (Loci?) of Light => "source of light". '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 06:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
:::...yes. There is that too. Thank you, Sol. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 06:15, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, the translation was supposed to be going for the "pioneering action, or emotional growth" definition of the word, as my dictionary has it: (前人の行いの跡) -- (traces of what predecessors have done). Part of the reason it sounds so strange as "tracks of light" is because I couldn't think of a better way to write the above meaning in a name without it getting it way too long (and all the dictionary suggested was tracks, which I should have known people would pull the other meaning). I think people should take this caption line from corocoro into consideration: "新たな光に導かれて、ポケモンレンジャーの戦いが始まる！！その活躍が軌跡となる！！" -- "Guided by a new light, the Pokemon Ranger battle begins!! Those actions become tracks!!" (for a future generation) and then the proposed: "Guided by a new light, the Pokemon Ranger battle begins!! Those actions becomes a locus" (a curve/ a collection of points). Though I agree that the "tracks" translation sounds stupid, I still think they are going for that meaning of a previous generation doing something so the next generation can follow off of that... Any thoughts? ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC))
:::::Graar, why didn't you bring this up before everything was already moved??? *shakes fist* I kid, I kid. Actually, I had looked around extensively for other uses of the term in relation to this game for clues of what was intended, I must have overlooked the Corocoro caption... D8
:::::Maybe "trails" would be better, then...? But at this point I think we should wait either for more info, or for the game itself (unfortunately I won't personally get my hands on the game until March 19 at the earliest - waiting until I'm in Japan to buy it :/).
:::::But it's not that much of a loss that we went ahead and moved it. Locus of Light still sounds awesome, and the LoL acronym is amazing. :3 [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 16:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::ごめんなさ～い m(*T▽T*)m I wish I would have noticed earlier :( I've been too wrapped up in final exams and hadn't been able to check the recently changed pages D: Yeah, I didn't really like the 'tracks' either :/ It's WAY too easy to pull the wrong meaning out of 'tracks' :/ I agree though, LoL does sound better too haha ^^ Unfortunately, no matter what we do it doesn't feel like that specific meaning of the word will be brought out very well :s I think 'trails' could be potentially better though :) I've seen too many people say that the title reminds them of a train lol XD ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 01:35, 4 February 2010 (UTC))

===Oppose===
* Oppose change to "Locus", however would support change to "Path", as Path has been appearing in the media, including [http://ie.ds.ign.com/objects/057/057609.html IGN]. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 20:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
* Oppose on the grounds that the title seems to be drawing attention to the feature of drawing a pattern to summon a Pokémon. Whether or not this is a "Locus" as a curve or a "Track" as a symbol hasn't been (to me) sufficiently proven. On a side note, the English Title will likely differ, so I don't see much of an issue with using this literal translation of the title until the game is announced for North America.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 20:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
* Oppose on the grounds that you seem to have no idea what tracks are. Tracks are a path left behind when something travels. For instance, an animal walking through the woods is found by following its tracks. The process of following tracks is even known universally as "tracking". The title "Tracks of Light" obviously refers to a path of some kind, and ties in to the Ranger theme, since Pokémon Rangers would be well-versed in tracking techniques, in order to find and help sick or injured Pokémon in the wild. As an aside, how "cool" something sounds should not matter in the slightest, as accuracy should always take priority over personal opinion.--[[User:Yaezakura|Yaezakura]] 20:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
* I think we should discuss a better alternative to the word 'tracks' because I do believe that it is a little misleading for some. Sorry I'm late to this discussion >_< ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 03:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC))
* Although "locus" is way cooler, I think that "tracks" is more appropriate. To be clear, "光の軌跡" means "the path that is left by a light source", like the "light drawing" thing. So, although "tracks" may sound stupid or whatever, that is what the title meant.--[[User:Tobytse99|tobytse]] 16:24, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
* Stupid exams.. Anyway, I '''oppose'''. All of the above, plus the fact that all the other websites are using Tracks of Light which seems to make more sense than using the word Locus - which I've quite frankly never heard of. --'''[[user:Emp|Emp]], out''' 22:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
* '''Oppose emphatically.''' This is madness. No other site calls it "Locus of light", which sounds stupid in and of itself. Tracks of Light is the name used by Serebii.net. In spite of this, since I know none of you think Serebii is a reliable enough source for this stuff, the name is most likely Tracks of Light. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

When I saw 'path' mentioned, I thought that would be good too. Really 'path' or 'trail' sound a whole lot better than 'track' at this point lol... at least it will stop the association with trains >_< I support either of those two tbh ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 05:48, 5 February 2010 (UTC))

Whether the name is correct or wrong, the real name will be revealed once the English version is out. So I suggest the name will be leave with "Locus of Light" first. --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 14:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

The waking of the legendary birds causing some havoc and the requirement of a Generation II Tower duo member (Ho-Oh in this case) to quell the birds. They even have their own islands. Faldera Volcano houses Moltres like Fire Island houses Moltres. Mt. Sorbet houses Articuno like Ice Island houses Articuno and Mt. Layuda houses Zapdos much like Lightning Island houses Zapdos.

Talk:List of glitches in Generation IV

2013-01-02T21:41:27Z

Waterlubber: /* Messed-Up Berry Plants? */

== What about multiple Barries or Dawns? ==

I believe that this is potentially another glitch. After whatever happens or whatever causes this Professor Rowan is standing with Dawn at Lake Acuity. Dawn is in the place where she was at the beginning of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl but she's also in Sandgem Town. Barry is in one place but until you've gone to Stark Mountain and caught Heatran and on the weekend, he's in 2 places at once. Does anyone think this is a glitch? I also believe that the fly to the Pokemon League is broken since the game has only been to part A and Rayquaza was allowed to fly Lucas to Point B, cheating him out of learning how to make it through Victory Road himself. Does anyone think it'd be good to add these glitches to the pages to make a good addition? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 21:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC))
:I wouldn't really call it a glitch. It is potentially an oversight though, and would be more suited to Barry and Lucas/Dawn's trivia pages.

I'm not really sure how to say this either but I'm using a used Diamond game instead of a new save file so I can't tell what happened. I believe this game was action replayed once because I ended up with a Pichu with its current HP more than its max and that was something I was working on with my Gamecube Action Replay when I was trying to get perfect stats. I haven't followed the storyline of the DS games completely yet. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 12:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC))

== Facade glitch ==

As previously noted [[Talk:Facade (move)#Glitch|here]], there is a glitch present in Platinum (tested by me), HeartGold and SoulSilver (haven't checked for Diamond/Pearl), where the use of Facade by the player's own Pokémon will move the backsprite up one pixel per use, to the point that repeated use with the help of PP-restoring items will bring the sprite to its incomplete state well above the top of the text box. Could this glitch be added to this page? Cheers, [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 01:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:My {{p|Carnivine}} showed its gap after 20 uses. Is this consistant with all Pokémon, or does it vary from sprite-to-sprite? Also, it's been added to the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
::Hmm, I should think it varies slightly. My Gastly showed the gap after about 10 uses (I definitely wasn't at 0 PP when the gap appeared). Either way, testing has shown the sprite always raises by exactly one pixel after each use, which would mean it is pretty much dependent on how much of the sprite is usually hidden underneath the text box.

==Help?==

Do any Pokémon have an Ability where the foe cannot be switched out? I was in a trainer battle and I wanted to switch Pokémon, but when I tried to switch, it said "Golem cannot be switched out!" It was under perfectly normal circumstances, too: Golem was not holding an item at all. Thanks! [[User:KyuremsIceBlade|KyuremsIceBlade]] 20:59, 2 June 2012
:{{a|Arena Trap}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}} prevent switching, as do {{cat|moves that partially trap}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Spider Web}} and {{m|Mean Look}} (and {{m|Ingrain}} if you use it). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:46, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Video Problem ==

The video guide of the "Egg nature glitch" is unavailable to watch, you get the message "Embedding disabled by request, Watch on YouTube" [[User:Rintoul 999|Rintoul 999]] 13:51, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks. If you see any other videos with embedding disabled, feel free to replace them (just make sure you mention that is why you're replacing it in your edit summary). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:39, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

== Messed-Up Berry Plants? ==
I was playing my SoulSilver the other day and I had a bunch of berries planted in my berry pots that felt like they were taking forever to grow. They were finally blooming, but then when I checked again they were just little green sprouts. I haven't changed my DS clock at all lately and I've been using the same DS, so this really makes no sense. My DS is messed-up to begin with so it could be the DS itself causing the glitch, but I really don't know what's up with these berries...and I've been watering them too...
Also, just would like to state that I noticed with a certain move, I think Faint Attack, when it's used one of the Pokemon seem to move by a pixel, sort of like the Facade thing. I haven't looked too much into it though. --[[User:Ondelez46regigigas|Ondelez46regigigas]] ([[User talk:Ondelez46regigigas|talk]]) 06:52, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Berries are based on steps, not time. If you use the bike and travel long distances (on foot) the berries grow faster. This also depends on the type of mulch. If you saved before walking a lot, then restored to the save point, your step count will fall and then the device will set the berries. This (I think) is sort of a primeval anti-cheating measure. (Of course, you could tape down the A button, but where's the fun in that). waterlubber 21:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

== Gym Was Too Tough ==

I don't know if this is a glitch, but in Diamond & Pearl after defeating a gym and saving, if you go to the Journal it says (for example), "Eterna Gym was too tough..." which I'm guessing it says if you lose against the gym leader (I always save before a gym battle, so I wouldn't know haha).[[User:☆glaceon☆|☆glaceon☆]] ([[User talk:☆glaceon☆|talk]]) 00:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

List of glitches in Generation IV

2012-12-30T23:28:15Z

Waterlubber: /* Pokéwalker cloning glitch */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Barry Underground glitch===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the player goes [[The Underground|underground]] while {{ga|Barry}} is not present at the [[Fight Area]] on the spot where he would appear, then comes up on the weekend, the player will be on top of Barry.

===Broken escalator===
{{bulbanews|Nintendo officially acknowledges glitches in Diamond and Pearl}}
This is one of two glitches in [[Generation IV]] [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/index.html?C officially acknowledged by Nintendo], with the other being the [[surf glitch]]. In Diamond or Pearl, after entering the Union Room on the second floor of the Pokémon League building, when the player goes up to the second floor of a Pokémon Center, the player will end up in a wall and not be able to return.

In the case where the player has not saved the game while trapped, it is possible to [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/how_to_recover.html work around this bug]:

#Restart the game from the previous save state.
#Go to the [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contest Hall]] in [[Hearthome City]].
#Speak to the leftmost attendant (there is no need to actually participate in a Super Contest).
#Save the game and restart.

===Dress-up Hiker glitch===
The glitch only occurs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. When talking to the {{tc|Hiker}} at [[Jubilife TV]] who allows Pokémon to be dressed up, if a button on the D-pad is pressed so that the {{player}} is facing away from the Hiker just before the screen to select which Pokémon will be dressed up opens, the player will not walk on the set path; this can lead to walking through walls or the Hiker, or canceling the action altogether.

===Honey shop glitch===
This glitch is only present in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This is caused by the {{player}} using {{m|Sweet Scent}} or [[Honey]] in a [[Poké Mart]]. When the player talks to the shopkeeper and selects "buy", no names or descriptions for any of the [[item]]s in stock will be displayed.

{{Youtubevid|CuloqZqYJvE|Mickydu38|Grass}}

===Mimic glitch===
{{main|Mimic glitch}}
===Pursuit glitch===
When a Pokémon holding a [[Choice item|choice item]] uses {{m|Pursuit}} and the target Pokémon switches out, the Pokémon holding the item is allowed to change its move on the next turn. This glitch was fixed in localized versions.
===Silent Route 214 glitch===
This glitch occurs in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} if the player goes onto [[Spring Path]] off {{rt|214|Sinnoh}}, where the music changes. If the player views the TM & HM section of the bag, closes it, then returns to Route 214, there will be no music. Sound effects such as collision sounds still occur and if the player encounters a wild Pokémon, the normal battle music will play. The same glitch can also be activated by changing the music so that it is not the default in any other way. For example, by using the Bicycle.

===Surf glitch===
{{main|Surf glitch}}

===Tower Tycoon event skip===
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, if the player achieves a 20 battle streak in the [[Battle Tower]] and battles the {{tc|Tower Tycoon}} by choosing the option "REST" and then the option "NO" instead of choosing the option "KEEP GOING", a normal Trainer will appear instead; with the same roster of the Tower Tycoon. Interestingly, this Trainer gives the unused dialogue "Now come! Show me, the Tower Tycoon, what you're really made of!" If this Trainer is defeated, the player will receive 1 BP instead of the normal 20 BP.

===Transform held item glitch===
In Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon [[Held item|holding an item]] uses {{m|Transform}} and has its item stolen, as long as it does not faint before the end of the battle, both the transforming Pokémon and the thief will retain the item after the battle.

===U-turn Choice glitch===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if {{m|U-turn}} is used to change to a Pokémon holding a [[Choice item]] that also knows the move U-turn, that Pokémon will be forced to use U-turn despite not having used a move.

==In Pokémon Platinum==
===Ace Trainer Deanna glitch===

In the Japanese versions of {{game|Platinum}}, it is possible to become engaged in non-stop consecutive battles with {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Deanna on {{rt|225|Sinnoh}} until the player loses.

{{youtubevid|OaNIKkRSYiQ|pokemonplatinumbug|Platinum}}

===Black Belt glitch===
{{game|Platinum}} only. Due to consecutive spaces, {{tc|Black Belt}} Eddie in Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} will say "Done in" with every letter on an alternating line.

{{youtubevid|pCWOyLtuvgo|2009TNT|Fighting}}

===Level display glitch===
In early releases of the US version of Platinum, when seeking for Pokémon on the [[Global Terminal|GTS]], the game will not display the level range of the wanted Pokémon. This can result in confusion, where even if a person has the right Pokémon to offer, but it is not at the right level, it will not able to be selected without any clear reason.

This glitch is not present in the PAL releases or the original Japanese, indicating that it was mistakenly left out in the North American version. Nintendo offers a fix for it by sending in an affected game.

===Route 227 Underground glitch===
In {{game|Platinum}}, going [[The Underground|underground]] on {{rt|227|Sinnoh}} between {{rt|226|Sinnoh}} and the horizontal row with the first patch of [[tall grass]], then coming back up will cause the player to be partly in the ground. Leaving this area causes the player to return to normal.

{{youtubevid|UVo3P14lRJ8|Unknown2Anonymous|Sinnoh}}

==In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum==
===Cheryl glitch===
At the entrance of the [[Eterna Forest]], sometimes an NPC will walk on top of [[Cheryl]].
{{youtubevid|9SgUwIpm-QU|randomyoshi|Grass}}

===Egg determination glitch===
{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only. This glitch requires a Pokémon and an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the same spot in adjacent boxes. By having the cursor on the Pokémon in one box, pressing L or R to switch boxes as the display is rolling over to the next piece of data will allow the player to see the [[held item]] (always none), [[nature]], [[Ability]], or [[type]] of the Pokémon inside an Egg.

{{youtubevid|0QmUcQgMJwo|gamez101|Stamina}}

===HM05 Defog glitch===
{{incomplete|section|image}}
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{HM|05|Defog}} appears as a {{type|Water}} HM rather than a {{type|Flying}} one. However, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, HM05 was replaced with a Water-type move, {{m|Whirlpool}}.

===Pal Park manipulation===
{{main|Pal Park#Manipulation|Pal Park}}
Allows the player to migrate any number of Pokémon via [[Pal Park]], this is used to overcome the 6 Pokémon per 24 hours limit.

===Underground item duplication glitch===
The Underground item duplication glitch is a glitch that occurs in Generation IV in [[the Underground]], it is possible to "clone" a Goods item between two players. There is a chance of losing the item if both players do not follow directions properly.

To clone a goods item, one player must always give the item, and the other must always receive. This cloning glitch can be repeated indefinitely. To clone, one player must give the other an item. The player who gave the item turns the game off without saving, but the receiver should save the game. If the cloning was successful, both players should have the item. However, there is a chance that the cloning will not work and the item will be lost.

Another variation on this glitch can be used to "clone" traps. By having one player place a trap(s) and having the other player pick up the traps and saving, if the first player resets his game without saving both players will have the trap(s).

==In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver==
===Ace Trainer Kate glitch===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there is a slight glitch with {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Kate on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She will only battle with the player if they walk straight down the path. If the player walks to either side of her, she will apologize as she would after the player has defeated her. If the player walks down the path towards her after talking to her on the side she will somehow see them while facing the wrong way and then battle.

===Boulder glitch===
In the Japanese version of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a boulder in the [[Slowpoke Well]] can be {{m|Strength|pushed}} over a ledge into the water. The boulder (unlike in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}) will act as if it was on dry land. The boulder was removed in international releases.

{{youtubevid|jFZsH2pKkcE|Zowayixx|Rock}}

===Floating walking Pokémon===
{{GlitchResearch|Does it stop if the walking Pokémon is switched out, enters a battle, or walks into a building?}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player must have a [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following them around]] and it must be {{status|poison}}ed. If the Pokémon walks off a [[ledge]] at the same time as it survives the poisoning, then the Pokémon will end up levitating in the air as if it is still jumping off of a ledge. The Pokémon will continue to levitate in the air until the player chooses to jumps off a second ledge, or uses either of the following field moves: {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}.

{{Youtubevid|NhTqgwoh-yA|ChickasaurusGL|Poison}}

===GB Sounds glitch===
If the player turns on the [[GB Sounds]] while {{m|surf}}ing on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, then surfs to [[Cinnabar Island]], and then turns the GB Sounds off (while still surfing), the music will disappear until it is changed. It is also possible to do this without returning to Cinnabar Island, by just going to Route 20 and turning on and off.

This glitch will not work if the player encounters a [[wild Pokémon]] while the GB Sounds is active. It will only activate if the GB Sounds is used via the [[Bag]], not as a registered [[item]].

{{youtubevid|ObhQQYe8UI8|TeamFail95|blue}}

===Indigo Plateau guard glitch===
This glitch only occurs in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. If the player attempts to enter the [[GS Cup]] in the [[Indigo Plateau]] Wireless Club and checks the list of special Pokémon, the guard blocking the Elite Four entrance will not move until the player re-enters the room.

===Invisible grass===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, three tiles on {{rt|44|Johto}} and four tiles in the Swamp area of the {{safari|Johto}} appear to be empty, but when the player or the [[walking Pokémon]] is standing on the tiles, [[tall grass]] will appear underfoot. This grass appears between the top of the grass and the water on Route 44, and between the rightmost lake and the grass in the Safari Zone. [[Wild Pokémon]] may be encountered in this grass, and Safari Zone objects may not be placed on it.

{{GlitchResearch|If the cloned Pokémon is traded out to another game, or leveled up in the Pokéwalker, does the game accept?}}
===Pokéwalker cloning glitch===
When a Pokémon is successfully transferred to the [[Pokéwalker]] but the game is turned off before saving, the Pokémon would appear in both the Pokéwalker and the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC Box]] it was in prior to the transfer. However, attempting to bring the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker back into the game would cause it to be released into the wild, even if the original Pokémon does not exist in the game any more, such as being traded or released. This is because the data of the Pokémon that was transferred was not saved onto the game, thus the game will not recognize the Pokémon that is on the Pokéwalker and release it. (The game only recognizes Pokémon caught from the Pokéwalker and the Pokémon's data that is stored in the game after the transfer. This is to prevent external or third-party devices from 'sending' Pokémon onto the game.)

===Walking Pokémon Stats glitch===
If the [[start menu]] is opened while the [[walking Pokémon]] jumps off a ledge, and the player looks at any Pokemon's stats, the Pokémon will get a little bit higher up, so viewing the stats of a Pokémon continuously will result in the Pokémon going off the screen.

==In Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver==
===3D problems===
In {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, standing in certain places in areas such as the [[Great Marsh]], [[Ribbon Syndicate]], Route 31 or the [[Fight Area]] may cause the foliage or walls to bend and merge into other graphics near them. This is most likely because they run on a 3D game engine.

===Acid rain===
{{main|Acid rain}}

===Wi-fi Plaza glitch===

If the player goes to the Wi-fi Plaza, runs in the direction of another player and reaches him/her ~1 second before he/she warps out, the 2 players will mix with each other until the second one warps out.

==In all Generation IV games==
===Corrupted save file cloning glitch===
Sometimes, when a game's save file gets corrupted, the Pokémon in that save file are kept. When this happens, the game can still be saved, but the save file will be unable to be loaded. With the assistance of another [[Nintendo DS]] and Generation IV game, the Pokémon can be traded from the corrupted game. After the trade is completed, if the game is reset, the Pokémon traded from the corrupted game will be in both games, but the other traded Pokémon will be lost.

===Facade glitch===
Every time {{m|Facade}}'s animation is shown, the user's sprite moves up by one pixel. Continuous use can result in creating a gap between the bottom of the sprite and the bottom of the screen.

===Fire Fang glitch===
In Generation IV, {{m|Fire Fang}} affects Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}}, even if it is used on a Pokémon that does not have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} moves. This does not apply to {{m|Ice Fang}} and {{m|Thunder Fang}}. This was corrected in Generation V.

===GTS cloning glitch===
In [[Generation IV]], a [[Cloning glitches|cloning]] method reminiscent of the methods from the first two generations appeared, involving the use of the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]. If the Pokémon is deposited in the GTS and the connection is interrupted at the right time, the Pokémon in question would be in the player's [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System|PC box]] and in the GTS, requiring the {{player}} only to withdraw the Pokémon from the GTS to obtain the clone. In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], however, the glitch of cloning via GTS was removed; if it is attempted, the game simply reports a communication error and returns the player back to the main desk.

===Kadabra trade glitch===
If a {{p|Kadabra}} is traded while it is holding an [[Everstone]], it will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Morphing glitch===
[[File:Torterrathemew.jpg|thumb|250px|An example of the morphing glitch. This is not a Torterra, but a Mew morphed into one and nicknamed "TORTERRA"]]

There have been somewhat numerous reports of a [[glitch]] happening in the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] that causes a player's offered Pokémon to become "glitchy". The Pokémon's sprite will morph into a different Pokémon, and the gender might be swapped as well. It will also say it is the same species it used to be (example: A morphed Heatran would still be Heatran/Heatran) and will be holding a {{DL|List of dummied out items|Seal Bag}}, a beta item. There is no confirmed way to deliberately access this glitch; however in many of the reports, people have claimed that the glitch happened right after the GTS came up with no searches for any of the Pokémon, but did not send out a Communication Error. After it stops blocking all access to other Pokémon, it is believed that is when the glitch is most likely to happen. Trying to withdraw the glitch Pokémon may result in a Communication Error but when the game lets a player withdraw the glitch, the Pokémon returns to normal.

Another glitch similar to the morphing glitch has been happening where the Pokémon in the GTS is morphed into the wanted Pokémon (as shown in the picture to the right). Instead of its name being the same as before, its name is now that of the wanted Pokémon, but still the same species as the Pokémon originally offered. There's also the possibility of the morphed Pokémon holding a {{DL|List of dummied out items|Seal Bag}}. Most of the time, trying to trade for it will either cause a communication error or say that the Pokémon has been traded. In addition to this glitch, sometimes these glitched Pokémon will be the only that appear when searching for Pokémon of a certain level.

===Pal Park nickname/Trainer name glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Need to see if this still works in HG/SS, and to find out if every language version is affected by this glitch}}
In foreign versions of Pokémon, if a Pokémon has a non-English, non-Japanese character (for example, á, é, í, ó, ú, etc.) in either its [[nickname]] or [[original Trainer]] name, and it is sent through [[Pal Park]], those characters will become corrupt and turn into random kana.

In most circumstances, this is not a problem, since in foreign (such as Spanish) versions of Pokémon prior to Generation IV, when naming the player or nicknaming a Pokémon, the character set is restricted to English characters. However, there are a few in-game trades where non-English characters appear in either the original Trainer name or nickname, and a few preset Trainer names also contain non-English characters. For example, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is a Trainer in [[Cinnabar Island]] who offers a {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}, and in Spanish versions, the Seel given to the player is nicknamed SEELÍN. When this Pokémon is transferred through Pal Park, the Í is corrupted and becomes the kana コ, changing the nickname to SEELコN.

===Pomeg glitch===
{{main|Pomeg glitch}}

===Rage glitch===
{{main|Rage glitch}}

===Trade cloning glitch===
In [[Generation IV]], if a player is trading Pokémon and one of the [[Nintendo DS]] systems is turned off at a certain time, the Pokémon that was traded to the game that was not turned off will appear in both player's parties. However, this glitch is very difficult to perform and quite commonly corrupts save data. There are reports that this method is effective in the [[Generation V]] games, but such reports are unconfirmed.

===Trade evolution glitch===
In Generation IV there is a glitch with the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them. Players must first place a {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that evolves by trading it}} (with the correct held item, like {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}} for {{p|Scyther}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} for {{p|Electabuzz}}) onto the GTS. To prevent the deposited Pokémon from being traded away, players should request an impossible trade, such as a [[level]] 9 and under {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it. After this has been done, returning to the Pokémon that was placed on the GTS by the player and taking it back will cause it to evolve.

It is possible that this was intentional, however due to the fact that it was removed in Generation V makes this very unlikely. The risk of not being able to reacquire a Pokémon while trying to evolve it through trade evolution over the GTS is very great and this could have been a planned countermeasure. The requirement (a trade) must still be met in order for the Pokémon to evolve, but this system would prevent a player from potentially losing the Pokémon they wanted to evolve.

===Tweaking===
{{main|Tweaking}}

===Vanishing glitch===
There have also been instances of a "vanishing" glitch on the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]. After uploading a Pokémon to the server and checking its summary without changing the Pokémon, the "summary" button is sometimes replaced with "deposit," suggesting that the Pokémon has been traded. Selecting "Deposit" will cause a communication error, and the player will return to the front desk. Logging on to the server again will cause the Pokémon to reappear, with no noticeable changes.

==In the side games==
===In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]===
====Arceus glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|Substitute breaking}}
If the player uses {{m|Baton Pass}} to pass a {{m|Substitute}} on to an {{p|Arceus}} holding a plate, it will appear invisible after coming out. If the same Arceus then uses an attack which does not deal damage, the game will freeze after the animation has finished.

{{youtubevid|0HVpq_xmdoc|paintkiller93|Blue}}


====Collisional errors====
Occasionally, when a Pokémon uses a certain move on another Pokémon, part of its modeling will go straight through the other Pokémon. For example, when an {{p|Electivire}} uses {{m|Cross Chop}} on a {{p|Metang}}, part of its head will go through Metang.

====Life Orb glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|Other move animations, if any. Are there such animations which apply to moves which deal self-inflicted damage?}}
The animation for {{m|Heat Wave}} activates after the [[In-battle effect item#Life Orb|Life Orb]] recoil rather than before it. This means that if a Pokémon used Heat Wave with at most 10% of its {{stat|HP}} left, it would faint and the Heat Wave animation would seemingly come out of nowhere.

{{youtubevid|QyDFQSOLB_8|ShionHibikiIsHugable|Blue}}

====Mystery Gift exploit====
Although only one [[Mystery Gift]] is intended to be received by the player through its 300 seconds of transmission, there is nothing to stop a player with another [[Nintendo DS]] and a different game card from receiving the same gift. For example, when purchasing a [[Salac Berry]] for 19,200 [[Poké Coupons]] and receiving it on one game card, another player with a different DS can quickly use their game to receive a copy of the same Salac Berry for free, provided that the 300 seconds haven't ended.

Ribbon

2012-12-30T19:06:18Z

Waterlubber:

:''For the Ribbons in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, see {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} and {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}}.''
----
[[File:Brendan Ribbon.png|thumb|250px|right|{{ga|Brendan}} awarding {{p|Torchic}} an Effort Ribbon]]
A '''Ribbon''' (Japanese: '''リボン''' ''Ribbon'') is a special item that can be awarded to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a variety of reasons. Ribbons stay on a Pokémon permanently even across [[generation]]s and can be checked in different ways depending on the [[Pokémon games|game]] [[version]].

==In the games==
[[File:Pokenav ribbons.png|frame|right|PokéNav's Ribbons screen in Generation III]]
[[File:Ribbon IV.png|frame|right|Ribbons screen in Pokémon Platinum]]
Ribbons were introduced in [[Generation III]], where they primarily serve as rewards for competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, though certain Ribbons are obtainable by defeating the [[Elite Four]] or from special events, among others. They are viewable from the [[PokéNav]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. While in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} they aren't visible, their data is still kept, and the correct Ribbons appear on a Pokémon if transferred to the [[Hoenn]] games or those from the following generations.

In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, more Ribbons were introduced, where they are viewable in the Pokémon's summary screen. While primarily obtained in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Ribbons could still be obtained in a variety of ways.

In [[Generation V]], Ribbons are kept, and though they aren't obtainable anywhere in-game, they can still be seen in the summary screen if obtained in Generation IV or from an event, which are the only ways allowed to obtain Ribbons. {{game|Black and White|s}} introduced a few new Ribbons, which are only obtainable from events, as well as a categorization scheme, separating them as League, Contest, Tower, Memorial, and Gift Ribbons.

===League Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#League Ribbons|List of League Ribbons]]''
'''League Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''リーグリボン''' ''League Ribbons'') are awarded to every Pokémon in the {{player}}'s current [[party]] when he or she defeats the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. There are two distinct League Ribbons, making this category have the least amount of Ribbons.

===Contest Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Contest Ribbons|List of Contest Ribbons]]''
'''Contest Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''コンテストリボン''' ''Contest Ribbons'') are awarded to the winning Pokémon in any of [[Hoenn]]'s {{pkmn|Contest}}s and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s. A different Ribbon is awarded for winning in each of the four [[Rank#Main series|ranks]] of the five different [[Contest category|categories]] ([[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]], and [[Tough Contest|Tough]]), making a total of 20 Ribbons in each type of Contest. As those awarded in Contests and Super Contests are considered separate, there are a total of 40 Contest-related Ribbons obtainable in the games, making this category have the larger amount of Ribbons.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Normal Rank Ribbons for all five Hoenn Contests can be obtained at the [[Verdanturf Town]] [[Contest Hall]] while the Super Rank Ribbons are at [[Fallarbor Town]]. The Hyper Rank Ribbons are obtained in [[Slateport City]], and the Master Rank Ribbons are at [[Lilycove City]]. In {{v2|Emerald}}, all are obtained at Lilycove City.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, all twenty Ribbons for the four ranks of Super Contest (Normal, Great, Ultra, and Master) are obtained at the [[Hearthome City]] Contest Hall.

Contest Ribbons are the only type of Ribbons found in the games that are featured in the anime.

===Tower Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Tower Ribbons|List of Tower Ribbons]]''
'''Tower Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''タワーリボン''' ''Tower Ribbons'') are awarded to Pokémon used to complete certain challenges in any of [[Hoenn]]'s, [[Sinnoh]]'s, or [[Johto]]'s [[Battle Tower]]s. There are a total of eight Tower Ribbons.

There are two Ribbons from the {{ho|Battle Tower}} found in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. They are awarded for clearing the Level 50 Battle Tower and the Level 100 Battle Tower in Ruby and Sapphire, or Open Level Battle Tower in Emerald. Ribbons are awarded to party Pokémon upon completion of the eighth consecutive Battle Tower challenge (defeating 56 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in a row) and each challenge thereafter if a Pokémon does not already have a Ribbon. Defeating fifty Trainers in a row but losing before 56 does not award any Ribbons.

In Generation IV, two new Ribbons replace the two given out in Hoenn, though they serve the same purpose. Four additional Ribbons are given out after winning fifty times in the Double Battles, in Multi Battles against the CPU, in Multi Battles with someone, or reaching Rank 5 in the Wi-Fi mode.

===Memorial Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|List of Memorial Ribbons]]''
'''Memorial Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''メモリーリボン''' ''Memory Ribbons'') are normally given after fulfilling an in-game accomplishment. The first Pokémon in the player's party is usually the one to obtain this type of Ribbon, although some Ribbons are rewarded to all the members of the player's party. There are a total of fifteen Memorial Ribbons.

===Gift Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Gift Ribbons|List of Gift Ribbons]]''
'''Gift Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''プレゼントリボン''' ''Present Ribbons'') are normally found already with Pokémon given to the player, such as [[event Pokémon]]. Unlike most other Ribbons, Gift Ribbons are not simply given to a Pokémon already under the player's ownership.

There are "Pokémon Event" and "Pokémon Festival" Ribbons which have been distributed at Pokémon events and festivals. The description of these Ribbons may be "A commemorative Ribbon obtained at a mystery location." if the player has yet to obtain a Pokémon with one of these Ribbons themselves from an event—only obtaining a Pokémon with one from a [[trade]].

Gift Ribbons available after Generation III normally prohibit Pokémon with them from being traded in the [[Global Terminal]].

===Other Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Other Ribbons|List of other Ribbons]]''
Many Ribbons were made available as prizes from tournaments, among many events, in Generation III and only in that generation; they could not be transferred to other generations.

On the other hand, six Ribbons available in Generation III and IV data have no longer been made available in Generation V.

====Tournament Ribbons====
Some of these Ribbons may have been awarded to players who won tournaments at Pokémon events in Japan. Other Ribbons were never handed out.

There are Ribbons for Regional, National, and Global tournaments for 2003, 2004, and 2005. Each has a Champion Ribbon, a Runner-Up Ribbon, and a Semifinalist Ribbon.

Additional Ribbons are:
* Pokémon Battle Cup Participation Ribbon
* Pokémon League Advance Cup
* Pokémon Tournament Participation Ribbon

====Pokémon Center Ribbons====
There are Ribbons for the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and New York.

====Holiday Ribbons====
* Summer Holidays Ribbon
* Winter Holidays Ribbon
* Spring Holidays Ribbon
* Evergreen Ribbon
* Special Holiday Ribbon

====Tower Ribbons====
* Darkness Tower Clear
* Red Tower Clear
* Blackiron Tower Clear
* Final Tower Clear

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash May Terracotta Ribbon.png|thumb|right|Ash and May holding the Terracotta Ribbon]]
Unlike the games, Ribbons are not attached to individual Pokémon in the anime. Instead, they can be compared to [[Badge]]s earned at [[Gym]]s. They are considered proof that a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} has won a particular {{pkmn|Contest}}. Unlike with Badges, Coordinators only get a single chance of earning a particular Ribbon in a certain Contest within a specific time period. They also must compete with other Coordinators to earn it.

Once a Coordinator earns five Ribbons, they are able to enter and compete in the [[Grand Festival]], the Contest equivalent of the [[Pokémon League Conference]]. Ribbons also do not expire, and multiple years can be used to collect the five needed for the Festival. However, after being used to enter a Grand Festival, the five cannot be used again. In addition, Ribbons can only be used in the Grand Festival of the [[region]] where they are earned, with the exception of some.

The following is a list of known Ribbons from the regions of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. There are also Ribbons for the [[Johto]] region, although the locations where they are obtained are unknown.

Waterlubber: /* Other Ribbons */

:''For the Ribbons in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, see {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} and {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}}.''
----
[[File:Brendan Ribbon.png|thumb|250px|right|{{ga|Brendan}} awarding {{p|Torchic}} an Effort Ribbon]]
A '''Ribbon''' (Japanese: '''リボン''' ''Ribbon'') is a special item that can be awarded to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a variety of reasons. Ribbons stay on a Pokémon permanently even across [[generation]]s and can be checked in different ways depending on the [[Pokémon games|game]] [[version]].

==In the games==
[[File:Pokenav ribbons.png|frame|right|PokéNav's Ribbons screen in Generation III]]
[[File:Ribbon IV.png|frame|right|Ribbons screen in Pokémon Platinum]]
Ribbons were introduced in [[Generation III]], where they primarily serve as rewards for competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, though certain Ribbons are obtainable by defeating the [[Elite Four]] or from special events, among others. They are viewable from the [[PokéNav]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. While in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} they aren't visible, their data is still kept, and the correct Ribbons appear on a Pokémon if transferred to the [[Hoenn]] games or those from the following generations.

In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, more Ribbons were introduced, where they are viewable in the Pokémon's summary screen. While primarily obtained in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Ribbons could still be obtained in a variety of ways.

In [[Generation V]], Ribbons are kept, and though they aren't obtainable anywhere in-game, they can still be seen in the summary screen if obtained in Generation IV or from an event, which are the only ways allowed to obtain Ribbons. {{game|Black and White|s}} introduced a few new Ribbons, which are only obtainable from events, as well as a categorization scheme, separating them as League, Contest, Tower, Memorial, and Gift Ribbons.

===League Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#League Ribbons|List of League Ribbons]]''
'''League Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''リーグリボン''' ''League Ribbons'') are awarded to every Pokémon in the {{player}}'s current [[party]] when he or she defeats the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. There are two distinct League Ribbons, making this category have the least amount of Ribbons.

===Contest Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Contest Ribbons|List of Contest Ribbons]]''
'''Contest Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''コンテストリボン''' ''Contest Ribbons'') are awarded to the winning Pokémon in any of [[Hoenn]]'s {{pkmn|Contest}}s and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s. A different Ribbon is awarded for winning in each of the four [[Rank#Main series|ranks]] of the five different [[Contest category|categories]] ([[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]], and [[Tough Contest|Tough]]), making a total of 20 Ribbons in each type of Contest. As those awarded in Contests and Super Contests are considered separate, there are a total of 40 Contest-related Ribbons obtainable in the games, making this category have the larger amount of Ribbons.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Normal Rank Ribbons for all five Hoenn Contests can be obtained at the [[Verdanturf Town]] [[Contest Hall]] while the Super Rank Ribbons are at [[Fallarbor Town]]. The Hyper Rank Ribbons are obtained in [[Slateport City]], and the Master Rank Ribbons are at [[Lilycove City]]. In {{v2|Emerald}}, all are obtained at Lilycove City.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, all twenty Ribbons for the four ranks of Super Contest (Normal, Great, Ultra, and Master) are obtained at the [[Hearthome City]] Contest Hall.

Contest Ribbons are the only type of Ribbons found in the games that are featured in the anime.

===Tower Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Tower Ribbons|List of Tower Ribbons]]''
'''Tower Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''タワーリボン''' ''Tower Ribbons'') are awarded to Pokémon used to complete certain challenges in any of [[Hoenn]]'s, [[Sinnoh]]'s, or [[Johto]]'s [[Battle Tower]]s. There are a total of eight Tower Ribbons.

There are two Ribbons from the {{ho|Battle Tower}} found in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. They are awarded for clearing the Level 50 Battle Tower and the Level 100 Battle Tower in Ruby and Sapphire, or Open Level Battle Tower in Emerald. Ribbons are awarded to party Pokémon upon completion of the eighth consecutive Battle Tower challenge (defeating 56 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in a row) and each challenge thereafter if a Pokémon does not already have a Ribbon. Defeating fifty Trainers in a row but losing before 56 does not award any Ribbons.

In Generation IV, two new Ribbons replace the two given out in Hoenn, though they serve the same purpose. Four additional Ribbons are given out after winning fifty times in the Double Battles, in Multi Battles against the CPU, in Multi Battles with someone, or reaching Rank 5 in the Wi-Fi mode.

===Memorial Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|List of Memorial Ribbons]]''
'''Memorial Ribbons''' (Japanese: '''メモリーリボン''' ''Memory Ribbons'') are normally given after fulfilling an in-game accomplishment. The first Pokémon in the player's party is usually the one to obtain this type of Ribbon, although some Ribbons are rewarded to all the members of the player's party. There are a total of fifteen Memorial Ribbons.

===Gift Ribbons===
:''See also: [[List of Ribbons in the games#Gift Ribbons|List of Gift Ribbons]]''

Waterlubber: /* MOVE TO MOTHER */

Correct me if i'm wrong but i can remember a picture of the generation 2 mom.--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 15:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== The Cleaner Mom ==
Isn't there a artwork for a mom in HeartGold, or is it like Prof. Mom in Generation 4?--[[User:The Bulb's Master|The Bulb's Master]] 20:54, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

So far, we don't know if there's new artwork for a Mom in HeartGold and SoulSilver. She'll probably get updated art in the HeartGold and SoulSilver guidebook when it comes out along with the games in the US since she's the only character other than the 8 Johto Gym Leaders that hasn't gotten her art updated yet to match Ken Sugimori's current style. --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 22:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

== I'm sorry ==

I come from england, well guess the rest. But could we change this page's name to mother. To be fair. Lunick v sonela 11:48, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree i am from england and we don't say mom we say mum or mother. [[User:Roryrules123|Roryrules123]] 2:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

You can't say mum though. Lunick v sonela 15:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

:I'm from New Zealand, and while that name sounds worse than nails on a blackboard (chalkboard?), it's her in-game name. Remember Generation II? "Sent some to Mom!"? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
:: I know that. Lunick v sonela 06:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Well that's why it's at this name. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
::::While old discussion is old, this is relevant. Now that HGSS is released, even though the game still says "Sent some to Mom!", in the Pokégear phone she is listed as Mother. I'm going to suggest that we move this page to 'mother', which seems to be a more logical name for the player's mother anyway. Mother is even used throughout the article regardless. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:03, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::Why change something that has already been decided, well it may not sound right in some peoples ears, but what does the name matter? Sorry, but it's a waist of time! [[User:Asherb0y|'''asherb0y''']][[User talk:asherb0y|'''''']]
::::::Well, I'm not suggesting that we only change it because it sounds different to different people, but I think that the Pokégear phone would be more reliable than that one line of ingame text after every battle (assuming you have told her to save your money). Mother is slightly less personal than mom. The article itself often opts for mother over mom (or mum) because it sounds much less awkward. Finally, mother is a ''slightly'' (notice slightly) better translation of the Japanese name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:03, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
::::::I vote for "Mother" because that's what she's called in the PokéGear. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 20:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I'll say that we should call her 'Mother' based on the fact that it's how she's registered in the Pokégear. Generation II called her 'Mom' and to keep it current, we should change it to 'Mother.' [[User:KurosakisTwin|KurosakisTwin]] 17:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
::::::::But didn't gen 4 also call her "Mom"? Thus, it should be kept the same because that would be the way it is in the dialog, so it is both current, and staying with the original name.
:::::::: sorry, forgot to sign [[User:Mikkim|Mikkim]] 23:37, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::But it also lists her as mother in the Pokégear. Lt. Surge is simply called Surge (at least when trading, thats all I remember) and his Pikachu's OT is Surge, but the Pokégear lists him as Lt. Surge. Are we gonna change his article to just Surge?--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 23:51, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::You still send some to ''mom'' in Gen IV, for whatever that's worth. But ''Mother'' would make a nicely generic title, especially since it's often linked as <nowiki>[[Mom|mother]]</nowiki>. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 00:02, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::I think we should have a vote.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 00:09, 4 September 2010
(resetting indent) I'm pretty sure the title Mother is used in the Pokégear because it is a formal title, and the Pokégear is a formal machine. Basically, I think the player refers to their own mother as mom. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 00:31, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:And they refer to Lt. Surge as Surge, but we aren't moving him.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 00:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
::Well I was basically saying that just for the sake of argument. I'm neutral on this matter, mostly because the difference between Lt. Surge and Surge can work both ways. On one side, one could argue that Lieutenant is called that by the "{{tt|narrator|the guy who says "NAME would like to battle}}". It's the game itself and no character from inside the game, meaning it could be official. The other could argue that it could still be a formal or informal title.

She seems to buy a lot of rare berries in HG/SS. Usually batches of 5 of the anti-super-effective berries, I find.[[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 18:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

::::Ah. I couldn't remember whether she did or not, I haven't got a non-berry item from her in aaaaaaaaaaages.

That's nothing insulting, if he felt offended - that's his thing. And it's not about "agreeing" or "not agreeing". I can't agree with false information. And if anyone should apologize, it's him - for underestimating the years of my research. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

==The LX Page==

Hey.

Long time no talk, Ev. It's LX. Not that I care or anything, but I was wondering why the Ledian_X page was deleted. I'm just asking because someone told me there was a 404 in one of the links to my profile over at the Channel Awesome wiki where I hang my hat now. I'd have IMed you on AIM. But, I don't have your screenname now. Just wondering why it was deleted. That's all. We should catch up on stuff as I have some wiki related questions to ask you. Thanks in advance, LedianX.

I would just like to point out that, under '''Current Events''' on the Home Page, Where it says that the 142nd Episode of D/P is coming out featuring Togepi. Togepi, however, is misspelled "Togepy", and if you could alter that, thank you.

Nothing major, just soemthing I noticed that bugs me.

[[User:MasterBall|MasterBall]] 18:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:That's not a misspelling, that's Togepi's Japanese name in Romaji. Bulbanews uses the Romaji names when they report about Japanese stuff such as new episodes.

I really want my page back, I'm making sure I behave, as I don't want to get banned here and lose my page, now she's taken my page, even though I've done nothing wrong.

== Huh. ==

TTE's gone, so I think that you're the right person to report that. [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:AshMonferno.png See what one of your your trusted admins does!] Using banned users as scapegoats is like the most pathetic thing that an admin can do. If normal user did it, he'd be permabanned for that. And I'm not questioning anyone's authority. Just reporting the thing that bothered me. And I realize that it's pretty old (I just returned from holidays). But seeing that the image is still there, I assume that the issue hasn't been settled. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:21, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's the image that was offensive. It said "Kuki is a stupid hotlinker with pregnancy fetish" or something like that (there was more, I don't recall everything and it was uploaded by Ketsuban. Hell, I should have taken a screenshot of it. I should've known that she'd delete it. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC) UPDATE: It's actually CoolPikachu who deleted it. He'll confirm that.
::So, you say that it was RIGHT that Ketsuban discouraged Kuki like that? Of course, he's a hotlinker and that is wrong but it is still OFFENSIVE and hence UNACCEPTABLE. Aren't we in Bulbapedia supposed to play nice? The rule should apply to admins as well. And it certainly wasn't nice. Ketsuban did something that a normal user would get permabanned for, yet you're PRAISING her. It's completely unfair. However, congratulations in admitting that Bulbapedia admins are above the hereby law. You've got the courage to say the truth. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Regardless of whether I like the current law or not, Ketsuban broke it. I see it as a reason to question her fitness to be an admin. There are different ways to prevent hotlinking, the one that Ket chose was simply offensive. And no, I am not defending Kuki. I'm just saying that offending ANY user (even a banned one) is wrong. This method of discourage hotlinking is simply unacceptable (even in my CoCless Bulbapedia ideal offensive pictures are strictly prohibited) and should not be practiced. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Ket already committed enough crimes (on the forums, of course, she barely does anything on the Pedia) to get permabanned. Indeed, she speaks her mind a lot. And it's something that I usually get warned/banned for (because of CoC). She is just as "harsh" as me. The difference is that she's an admin, and hence she's more respected and her offences are often ignored. Nice or not, she abuses her powers strongly and it's an undeniable fact. If you don't see that, then you're blinded by your "trust" in her. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Maxim, I agree with everything you say in this instance, she also lies to her fellow admins to avoid herself getting into trouble, and there is no reasoning with her, she has no compasion, and I think she does it to satisfy her thirst for power. And all the other admins tell her they trust her 100% and stuff like that, and she then goes and breaks the rules, and no one seems to care and it creates a very much "us and them" situation which contradicts the statement about Bulbagarden being a community.

::Specific things of what not to do. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't think so. It does say it doesn't cover edit wars, but maybe it should?

::::My take on edit wars is that it's how you behave during the edit war that matters, not whether or not it takes place. If people play nice we shouldn't have too many wars, but the actual editing-reverting-re-editing process, and the potential consequences, are already covered elsewhere. Thus, I felt no need to re-hash punishments for that, instead seeking to make that process more pleasant. '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' 06:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

==Banned Words==
Im talking about this on the forum, what about a list of offensive words that arent constructive, and if you use one you get a 2 day block. Obviously all swear words should be banned, but im also talking about words like "idiot and douche".

::I mean, I don't think I need to make a specific list of banned words--the forum doesn't have such a list. I'm willing to leave it up to administrator discretion regarding the intent of the word and the consequences that come out from it.

Saying you dislike someone isnt constructive earlier, things like these can lead to bullying and to users either feeling left out of being in someones friend list, or upset that people are openly voicing a dislike for them, it can really emotionally damage some people, and lets face it FRIEND LISTS SERVE LESS PURPOUS THAN ALREADY BANNED THINGS LIKE FANFICTION.

:Yeah, But lets face it, people here are a [[User:Tavisource|bit kiddy]] but it just takes them time to grow up, I don't have a friends list myself but it could let some users be accepted in the community. What I don't like is [[User:DCM|users]] [[User:Optimatum|who]] abuse people for what they did in the past, and the main thing that was letting them abuse people was the whole friendly thing, So we should actually ban that, BUT, let users know that everyone is a friend to anyone anytime.--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 14:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

== Your Editing ==

I have noticed that a lot of your edits are inappropriate for the page you are putting them on, such as throwing anime Mewtwo information on a page about Mewtwo in the manga. This cannot continue. There are many other sections of the wiki that need attention, such as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]] that need their info expanded upon. I recommend trying to find one of those that you know a little about, and adding to the content of those pages. Also, you should not sign information that you put on mainspace pages. Only talk page comments get signatures. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Waterlubber:

Pokégear

2011-11-29T23:48:35Z

Waterlubber: /* Trivia */

[[File:PokéGear HGSS m.png|thumb|right|Blue Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
[[File:PokéGear HGSS f.png|thumb|Pink Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
'''Pokémon Gear''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンギア''' ''Pokémon Gear''), mostly known as '''Pokégear''' (Japanese: '''ポケギア''' ''Pokégear''), is an electronic device found in [[Johto]]. It looks like a large, advanced wristwatch with the [[Silph Co.]] logo on it. It was first introduced in [[Generation II]]; the [[Hoenn]] region's analog to the Pokégear appears to be the [[PokéNav]], the [[Sinnoh]] counterpart is the [[Pokétch]], and the [[Unova]] counterpart is the [[C-Gear]].

The Pokégear is an important tool for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, some see it necessary to have one on a Trainer's adventure. The main character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} receives a Pokégear from their mother at the start of their journey. The {{player}} is able to have access to the Pokégear by selecting it from the [[menu]]. At that, it is easy to navigate through the Pokégear by selecting through four different functions located at the top-left of the screen. It displays the map of the region, names of previously fought Trainers, and the current time. It also allows players to call registered Trainers. Certain functions need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards.

The Pokégear returns in the Generation IV remakes, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The interface has been completely redesigned, using both screens on the [[Nintendo DS]]. The top will always display the time function on the Pokégear, while the touch screen will display the other different functions of the Pokégear, as well as selecting other functions using the touch screen. The outer aesthetics of the Pokégear have changed abruptly as well. The whole Pokégear is a flip top, while the bottom section of the Pokégear is used to scan special expansion cards to upgrade it with other functions. Its color skin is changeable between blue, pink, a [[Team Rocket]] theme, a Japanese dojo theme, a Pokémon League theme, and teal-and-white with a Silph Co. theme.

==Functions==
[[File:PokeGear.png|thumb|150px|right|Pokégear artwork from [[Generation II]]]]
The Pokégear's functionality comes from the several features and applications that can be installed in it, making it extensible. Many people are willing to give away special expansion cards to upgrade the Pokégear with other functions. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are 4 available functions, two of which are included with the Pokégear. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time.

===Time===
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the Pokégear, the time function is the most basic feature. The Pokégear will {{wp|digital clock|digitally}} display the time of day using the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour AM/PM format}} as well as the day of the week. It runs off the time the {{player}} input at the beginning of the game.

A glitch in Gold and Silver will change the day if the functions are scrolled through; this was addressed in Crystal. A function in Gold and Silver that allowed players to reset the game's time in the title screen was also removed from Crystal.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the time will always be displayed on the top screen of the DS. However, unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the time is displayed using the {{wp|24-hour clock|24-hour format}} instead of the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour format}} and runs on the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, much like the Pokétch. There is also a wireless signal measurement next to the time, though it has no purpose and always displays the same.

===Map===
Obtained after the player receives a map card for the Pokégear after taking a tour of [[Cherrygrove City]] from the Guide Gent, the map function of the Pokégear acts as a [[Town Map]], displaying a map of [[Johto]] and later [[Kanto]] with cities, towns and other important landmarks. It is the most basic of the map devices used by the {{player}}, and is the navigational item for all [[Generation II]] games.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the mechanics of the map remain the same, only to have several added features, including the ability to zoom in to display areas of interest, with certain locations having a small flavor text. There is another feature that allows the player to add notes and markings to different locations, to allow the player to make notes about each area about the Pokémon in the area, any [[Apricorn]] or [[Berry]] trees, any special buildings, [[TM]] locations or any other notes. These notes will appear on the top screen when the player highlights that specific area on the map. Like the Marking Map on the [[Pokétch]], it also displays the current locations of all [[Roaming Pokémon]], including {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Raikou}}.

If, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, a non-player character calls the player on the PokéGear phone for a rematch or to give an item, then the PokéGear map will display a small red exclamation point next to the name of the route or location.

===Phone===
[[File:HGSSPokéGearPhone.png|thumb|left|The phone function in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
[[File:PokéGearPhone.png|thumb|right|The phone function in [[Generation II]]]]
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the device, the Pokégear's phone acts like a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with. This allows the player to talk to other characters and learn information from them, such as battling tips or when rare Pokémon appear. Trainers with whom the player has exchanged numbers may also sometimes call the player to request a rematch, in which they will use higher-level Pokémon than during their initial battle.

The phone can also store numbers of other important people, like the player's [[mom]] or [[Professor Elm]]. Mom will also ring every so often, telling the {{player}} about the money she has saved (if opted for by the player) and occasionally spending that money on decorations for the player's [[bedroom]] or items such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s for the player. In Generation II, the phone function has a memory bank that can store the numbers for up to ten people.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the phone function makes a return and is used in the same way as before, though the interface (like the rest of the Pokégear) can now be controlled with the touch screen in addition to (or as an alternative to) the DS's buttons. In the remakes, the phone has no limit on how many numbers can be stored, though, unlike Generation II, numbers cannot be deleted from it. Also in the remakes, the player now has the option not to answer when someone calls them.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Trainers will only begin calling the player for rematches once the player has collected seven badges and beaten [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. In addition, once the Radio Tower has been saved, the player can call registered Trainers to arrange rematches with them without having to wait for the respective Trainers to call the player. Each Trainer has a specific time during a specific day each week where they will accept a rematch when called; if they are called at any other time of the week, they will use their usual script, and a rematch will not be arranged. When a Trainer is called at the appropriate time, as long as the player is not at the same route or location as the Trainer, they will accept the challenge of a rematch and can then be battled at their original location with higher-level Pokémon at any later point in time (though, once the rematch has taken place, the player will need to call or be called again in order to carry out another rematch). Additionally to further power up the trainer's team in two additional phases, defeating the Elite Four and later collecting all 16 badges are the necessary requirements for these powerups as long as each incarnation of that trainers' team is fought at least once. If a rematch with a Trainer has been arranged but not carried out, a red exclamation point will appear next to the name of the Trainer's location on the Pokégear map.

====Gym Leader phone listing====
''See also [[Rematch#Gym Leader Phone Listing|Gym Leader Phone Listing (sub-section of Gym Leader Rematch)]]''.

The rematch concept is expanded in HeartGold and SoulSilver to allow players to [[Rematch#Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|rematch the Gym Leaders]] of Johto and Kanto. The phone numbers for most of the sixteen Leaders can be obtained after defeating the [[Elite Four]], but rematches with the Gym Leaders cannot be scheduled until the {{badge|Earth}} has been obtained (i.e {{ga|Blue}} has been defeated). By speaking with them at the appropriate time and place, players can obtain their phone numbers. At a later, specified date, the player can call the Leader and ask for a rematch. The Leader will always accept, and the battle will be fought at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

===Radio===
After acquiring a Radio Card from a quiz host at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the Radio function of the Pokégear can now be used. It allows the player to tune in to the various radio stations being broadcast from the two Radio Towers in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Goldenrod (Johto)]] and [[Lavender Town#Kanto Radio Tower|Lavender (Kanto)]]. When traveling to Kanto, however, the EXPN Card must be obtained from the manager of the Kanto Radio Tower before all Kanto stations can be played in {{v|Crystal}}, and the Poké Flute station can be played in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} versions.

The Radio usually allows the players to tune in to the local programs, allowing the player to get tips from [[Professor Oak]] and [[DJ Mary]] on Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk, or to let the player tune in to specific channels such as [[Buena's Password]] to win prizes. However, the Radio is also capable of picking up other signals within its tunable range, thereby occasionally causing weird noises to be heard such as the Mysterious Transmissions coming from the [[Ruins of Alph]], or Team Rocket's evolution-forcing signals near the [[Lake of Rage]].

During Team Rocket's takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower, all other stations were being replaced by the Team Rocket Announcement.

The Radio function also works when the Pokégear is not in use, allowing the player to play tunes from a specific radio show when on the move. Some tunes even affect how wild Pokémon appear, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, when [[DJ Ben]] from [[Pokémon Music Channel|Pokémon Music]] occasionally broadcasts the {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Hoenn Sound}} or {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}} to allow the player to attract wild Pokémon native to [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]].

====Generation II====
[[File:PokéGearRadio.png|240px|thumb|right|The radio interface in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
In Generation II when the Radio was first introduced, the interface features an interactive box at the top right corner, consisting of a number line divided into 'channels' and a slider that is controlled by the left and right buttons. The channels range from 0 to 20.5, and when the slider reaches a correct channel, a program will play (in this case, 4.5 for Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk). Most of the screen shows the name of the program and a large space for the dialog box to appear.

The following lists the shows available in Generation II:

====Generation IV====
[[File:PokéGearRadio HGSS.png|240px|thumb|right|The bottom screen of the radio interface in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the radio function makes a return, but the interface changes much drastically from [[Generation II]]. Most of the dialog and the reception icon is now shown at the top screen, while tuning can be done at the bottom screens. Tuning is done in two ways: moving a rounded indicator around the circular area using the stylus, or by selecting one of the four buttons at the side of the circular area, which directly tunes the radio to a pre-set Radio Station. (The Mysterious Transmission and the Poké Flute have to be manually tuned using the stylus.)

Programs in HeartGold and SoulSilver are now more varied; Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk will update the player on recent [[Mass Outbreak|swarm]], while a [[Variety Channel]] features a documentary and radio play. The broadcast timings for [[Buena's Password]] have also been changed, allowing her program to be received for one out of every three hours. Most programs are also not limited to their respective broadcast regions; the four main stations can be heard in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

The following lists the shows available in Generation IV:

==In the anime==
[[File:HGSS Pokegear anime.png|200px|right|thumb|Brock's Pokégear]]
In the anime, it is shown that the Pokégear has at least two designs, a black one and a white and pink one. Several characters in the anime own Pokégears:
* {{mov|Lisa}} lent hers to Ash so that he could keep in contact with Professor Oak in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* A Pokégear under the ownership of [[Jasmine]], the [[Olivine City|Olivine]] [[Gym Leader]] made a brief appearance in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light]]''.
* {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}} and [[Vincent]] all own Pokégears. A plot point of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' is that it includes a tracking system to show where the other Pokégears currently are.
[[File:PokeGear anime.png|200px|right|thumb|Misty's Pokégear]]
* {{an|Misty}} also owns one, so that she can keep in contact with [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]].
* {{an|Lyra}} owns the new version of the Pokégear, and she owns a pink model. Likewise, her friend [[Khoury]] owns a blue model.
* {{an|Brock}} received his own Pokégear at the end of ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' when he was given one by [[Khoury's father]]. It has been used fairly regularly by him since then, normally being used by Brock to track the group's location (similar to how [[Max]] did with the [[PokéNav]]).

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|PokéGear|88}} appears as a card in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion. The redesigned version, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokégear 3.0|96}}, appears as a card in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion.

==Trivia==
*Music from the Pokégear doesn't stop when the player uses {{m|Surf}}; however, it does stop when the player gets out of the water.
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokégear's map displays Ethan's icon's hat with black sides, however the [[Pokédex]] display Ethan's icon's hat with yellow sides. This may be a leftover from conversion from his Generation II design (where the front of his hat was all black and the back was all yellow) to his Generation IV design (where the sides of his hat are yellow and the middle is black).
*You can access the Pokéflute in the Goldenrod [[Game Corner]].

Waterlubber: /* Childhood Friend Ethan/Lyra phone calls */

== This article needs ==
This arcticle needs to include the Kanto radio channels, and also the channel that allows you to hear the Rocket signal at Lake Rage. I also think we need to get started on an article about the Hoenn TV shows, and Mixing Records. I'll try and fill in what info I can, but I'm pretty limited [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 13:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

== Lost the instructions ==
On certain occasions, if you try to adjust for Daylight Savings Time, your mom claims that she lost the PokéGear's instruction booklet. Does anyone know why this happens?[[User:Turbo|Turbo]] 00:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:This happens when changing the DST status would also change the day of the week; i.e., at or around midnight. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 00:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== V4.0 ==

Seems like the Gear's back, but upgraded to Gen IV standards (and likely touch sensitive). Keep it in this article or move it to whatever it's gonna be named as? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:19, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
:Since the article is about the PokéGear (and it's likely to maintain its name in HGSS), I don't think we should do anything more than updating the article for info on the HGSS version. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 11:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::Leave it where it is for now. Update the article as it comes. Protect if need be. Move if need be. Sections of ==Generation II== and ==Generation IV== if required. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 11:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Should someone add the pics of the new pokégear? [[File:Ani152MS.png]][[User:Zaveno|'''Zaveno''']] [[User talk:Zaveno|'''(Talk)''']]

== Battle Items ==

After battling a Sailor Huey many times (the final one being his last new set of Pokémon), he said that he was grateful to battle me and blah...anyhow, he gave me an item afterwards: Protein. Does this happen to other trainers that say they want to battle? Is it all consistent with the items? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 11:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

== SD card/radio ==

I was told that using the radio in HG/SS on a DSi will let you listen to music saved onto an SD card. Is this true? --[[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 16:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
:Speculation. Unless you heard it from an offical site, it's just speculation! [[User:ShinyPikachu|ŚĥîΠŶPî₭₳ĉĥŭ]] 16:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
::The games out. Could someone confirm this? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 17:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Does any1 mind if i upload this image

http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq213/onionboy_01/PokegearPhone.png? It's the phone app being used. o, and could some1 plz translate it, as I don't speak Japanese [[User talk: ShinyPikachu|Shiny]][[User:ShinyPikachu|'''Pika''']] 22:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

They do it again in HGSS? Anyone know? We should say so here if they do... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
:They do, at least the fisher and lass do (water and thunder) so I assume the rest do too. I havn't gotten anything off them yet but they keep talking about my present when I call, asking me to wait a little longer. What else would they give me? [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 12:04, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== No Lucky Channel? ==

I just got the radio card in HG... so... no Lucky Channel now? That was my favourite one! Is the music out completely, does anyone know? Really, I liked it because it wasn't like the rest of this sedate stuff... {{unsigned|Darien Shields}}

:Well, in the originals, the Game Corners shared its music with the Lucky Channel...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

== Phone numbers ==

In HG/SS, is there a limit on how many phone numbers you can register with the PokéGear? --[[User:Elneth|Êlneth]] 15:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

== In any manga? ==

Does it appear in any manga? I know I saw it for a HGSS preview for Adventures.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 05:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
:Gold has a Pokegear in GSC chapter of Adventures. He mostly uses it to call his mom and lie to her about how he'll be home soon. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 06:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
::If it is basically the same, should it be mention that it appears in Adventures?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 00:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

== Background Music ==
I have explored the official music from HGSS in the Youtube and there are some music that play only in the PokeGear.This music are a lot calm that the normal versions. Does anyone who has the game can check that? Does the music changes when you use the PokeGear? --[[User:Tyagohexagon|Tyagohexagon]] 18:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

== Rematches ==
In HeartGold/SoulSilver, what do you have to accomplish before the trainers you call challenge you to a rematch? I know each trainer has a specific day & time of day, but even calling in that time frame doesn't work early on in the game. At some point, though, they always challenge you when called at their set time. But I can't figure out what the defining landmark event is supposed to be. Perhaps after defeating Team Rocket at the radio tower? --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 19:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
:Be specific... I'm guessing you're talking about typical trainers, right? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:15, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. I mean obviously you can't get rematches against gym leaders or the elite four early in the game. But the trainers who will offer a rematch when you call them won't do so until some point late in the game. The ability to call and get offered a rematch with an NPC trainer is apparently blocked by an event. I'm wondering what the trigger might be. I'd never been able to figure it out before; just one day I try again and it works. Is it the number of gym badges? I have a trainer with 5 who still won't get offered rematches when he calls. Battling the red Gyarados? Defeating Team Rocket? First or the second time? I'm checking if anyone who normally would rematch for the current time & day actually will, after every significant event, and will report if I find a definitive answer. But if anyone already knows that would be cool. --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 23:29, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
::You'll notice that the trainers will call themselves if they want to rematch. If you call them, they just say stuff or say they're waiting for you if you've already got a match set (because they called you). However, it just takes a bit for them to call. There is no set point in the game that they'll call and ask. Even among the later trainers (after you've received calls for other battles) sometimes, they actually take a while to call you and ask for a fight. There's probably a 1 in x chance that they want to battle, but i'm unsure of what that is. [[User:KurosakisTwin|KurosakisTwin]] 09:15, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually, there are specific times of the week in which you can call to request a rematch. I don't think we have them, but Serebii does. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

== Titles? ==

Should the HG/SS titles stated on the Pokégear for Bill and Buena be added to their entries on the list? I would imagine there would be some confusion with Bill with his title being "Poké Maniac" but I don't see anything wrong about adding "Radio Personality" for Buena's. I assume they didn't have these back in GSC (or just C for Buena) so I figured it'd be best to ask. - [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer Hunter]] 09:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

== Sailor Phone Number ==

Is [[Sailor]] Huey the only [[Sailor]] from whom you can get the phone number in Gold and Silver? o.o [[User:OMG|OMG]] 03:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

==Organisation of the Radio Stations==

I feel that it is quite difficult to read through the stations, especially if you want Gen IV or II ones only.
I'd reccomend splitting the two up, listing twice the repeated stations. If they are not to be reorganised, at least sort out the consistency, ie have whether they are gen II or IV in the same column every time. Camzoman, 16:19, 3rd June 2010 (UTC)

== Childhood Friend Ethan/Lyra phone calls ==

Shouldn't be specified what does mean the Childhood Friend Ethan/Lyra phone calls? 
Often he/she suggest you to bring a Pokémon to a route where there might happen something unusual... maybe golden leaves? maybe the Pokémon will react in a different way when talking to it? 
For example, it's happened that Lyra suggested me to bring my Sudowoodo to the Route 36 and I did so, when I talked to it, it was "playing with my bag" and I had the option to scold it or not (I chose not). 
This is not the first time I found this kind of talking options, but it's the first time I found it just after I did what Lyra suggested. --[[User:Wolf01|Wolf01]] 22:26, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
:I've had that option without being phoned. If I'm correct in my interpretation, Ethan/Lyra is just telling you that these Pokémon can have special responses in this area - such as {{p|Ampharos}} in the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Oh thanks. Oh was wondering what happens if you bring a [[SUDOWOODO]] there, and I did, and nothing speceil happened. There is one thing interesting about that: The [[SUDOWOODOW]] was the "Mysterous Tree" that was blocking the path...
waterlubber 23:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

== What about the c-gear? ==
Hi. I was wondering when the c-gear info was going to be up. Most of the places, all of the gym leaders, and everything else Black and White is up. Why not the c-gear? After all, you get it pretty early in your journey, so...--[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 03:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

== Someone plz add the ace trainers! ==

I dont kno their schedules so someone pls add it

== Pokéflute Error in HgSs==
The pokéflute is accessible in Johto's game corner. Is this important to note, perhaps on trivia? [[User:Buibui|Buibui]] 21:29, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} [[Pokémon]] cloned from a {{p|Mew}} in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga.

==History==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
Already in [[PS001|the first round]] of the manga, {{Adv|Red}} meets {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who are after the mysterious {{p|Mew}}. As later revealed, [[Team Rocket]] was trying to clone Mew in order to create an even more powerful Pokémon. The first glimpse of this clone is seen in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', when Red infiltrates Team Rocket headquarters in [[Celadon City]], trying to find information about {{Adv|Green}}. He ends up in a secret underground laboratory, where he hears [[Blaine]], working as a Team Rocket scientist, explaining that they need more cells to be taken from Mew to complete the clone.

Despite Red's attempts, Blaine eventually manages to create Mewtwo, but he is forced to use human cells from his own arm in addition to Mew's cells to do so. As a result of a backlash of Mewtwo's cells making way to his arm, Blaine and Mewtwo become linked, and can always track each other. Mewtwo then escapes after destroying the entire laboratory, and Blaine leaves Team Rocket to find it. After Team Rocket is finally defeated, Red meets Blaine again in the [[Cerulean Cave]] in ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too!?]]'', and together they try to kill it, as with Mewtwo's power hitting it with even the [[Master Ball]] seemed impossible. After a hard battle against Mewtwo's twister {{m|Psywave}}, [[Pika]] manages to throw Blaine's Master Ball at the Genetic Pokémon, catching it. Red then gives Mewtwo to Blaine, and tells him to teach Mewtwo that humans are not all arrogant and cruel creatures. Afterwards, Blaine asks Red if he'd feel like having a trainer battle sometime, to which Red obliges, but only if his injuries are healed first. Blaine notices the pain from his right arm has subsided, and deems Red a true Pokémon trainer.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
Mewtwo was next seen resting under Blaine's care in ''[[PS047|Purrrr-sian]]'' in a tank. Since Blaine finds out that being too far from Mewtwo puts a strain on Mewtwo's body due to their genetic link, Mewtwo lives in specially engineered fluid. For travel, Blaine fills Mewtwo's Master Ball with that fluid.

When {{Adv|Yellow}} later visits [[Cinnabar Island]] in ''[[PS064|Putting It On The Line... Against Arcanine]]'', she finds Blaine and Mewtwo training together for the upcoming battle against the villainous [[Elite Four]]. Once the battle finally starts on [[Cerise Island]], Yellow and Blaine find themselves teamed up against the powerful [[Lance]], and Blaine uses Mewtwo against Lance's entire team in ''[[PS079|Airing Out Aerodactyl]]'' and ''[[PS080|Draggin' In Dragonair]]''. Despite its best efforts, Mewtwo fails to defeat Lance within the three minutes it can live out of its special fluid, wasting the last of Blaine's strength on an attempt to deactivate Lance's [[Ultra Ball]]s. Though it tried attacking the mastermind at first after Blaine collapsed (and Lance revealed his three remaining dragons were underground, safe from harm), knowing that further battle will kill Blaine, Mewtwo is forced to return to its Master Ball and leave Yellow on her own in ''[[PS081|Aerodactyl Redux]]''.
[[File:Mewtwo and Blaine.png|right|thumb|200px|Mewtwo and Blaine]]
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
A year after the events at Cerise Island, Blaine leaves Mewtwo in his laboratory as he goes to participate in the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League with the other [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. While there, Blaine finds the legendary {{p|Entei}}, who chooses the former as its partner. Entei then uses its special flames to heal Blaine's arm, effectively cutting the link between Blaine and Mewtwo. Sensing what happened, Mewtwo then leaves [[Cinnabar Island]], a [[Wild Pokémon|free Pokémon]].

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Mewtwo once again appears years later in the [[Sevii Islands]] in end of ''[[PS283|Reason to Fight]]'' where it has rescued an injured [[Lorelei]] who had lost due to Sird's trickery. In ''[[PS284|Mewtwo Participates in the Battle]]'' it invites {{Adv|Red}} to fight on his side against [[Team Rocket]] and {{p|Deoxys}}. Unlike previous chapters, in this chapter Mewtwo communicates directly with the other characters via telepathy, explaining that it gained the ability after going through the experience of having a master and leaving him. At first it only communicates with Red and Yellow (being the only ones save his trainer who had earned his respect), but later it starts trusting {{Adv|Blue}} as well. Another person it manages to communicate with is {{adv|Giovanni}}, but only for the purpose of letting him feel its fury.

{{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} are shocked to find out the psychic mutant who had so burdened Red in battle in the past has teamed up with them for the battle, but become even more flabbergasted they are when Mewtwo uses a mere {{m|Psywave}} attack that takes out all of the {{p|Unown}} guarding the [[Trainer Tower]] with enough power to be compared to all three of their newly learned Ultimate Attacks at once. They eventually reach the top of the building where Team Rocket again show a display of their cowardly schemes by displaying holograms of the kidnapped parents of Green and {{adv|Professor Oak}} to capture the two trainers, whom Mewtwo then saves and states they were fools for falling for such a trick to begin with. When they enter the tower, however, things would only get worse as the {{p|Deoxys}} Giovanni captured has unleashed an army of clones of itself known as the Deoxys Divides, against whom the three [[Pallet Town]] [[Pokédex holder]]s have a hard time dealing with, and things only escalate for the worse as Giovanni also joins the fray.

[[File:Blaine Mewtwo.png|thumb|right|Mewtwo and Red]]
Mewtwo explains to Red and Giovanni that it came to battle because it saw itself in {{p|Deoxys}}, the two of them having very similar species names, and wanted to keep [[Team Rocket]] from using Deoxys in the same manner they used him. Giovanni explains that Deoxys, while seemingly alike to Mewtwo, is in fact the result of an alien virus attached to the meteorite that had mutated once exposed to a strong ray, and is now his to command for good. Enraged, Mewtwo charges at Giovanni, but he slows Mewtwo down by restraining it in a special armor called "M2 Bind", which can withstand virtually all Pokémon attacks and slowly sap Mewtwo's energy. {{Adv|Red}}, {{Adv|Blue}}, and {{Adv|Green}} eventually manage to break the armor by using [[Saur]], {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, and [[Blasty]]'s newly learned ultimate moves, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, at the exact same time from different directions. The moves' types cancel each other out before hitting Mewtwo, thus eliminating any pain Mewtwo would feel.

Free again, Mewtwo departs with Red and Charizard after Giovanni. They catch up with him in [[Viridian City]], where Mewtwo battles under Red's command against Giovanni and Deoxys on Team Rocket's flying battle stadium. The battle proves very long and difficult for both sides, but eventually Deoxys is defeated after it loses its ability to access its [[Form differences#Deoxys|Speed and Normal Formes]], allowing a recovered Mewtwo to strike it with a psychic energy blast, though it fails to kill it as it was in its [[Form differences#Deoxys|Defense Forme]]. The danger is not over, however, as [[Carr]] reveals that he planted his many {{p|Forretress}} all over the battleship, and they are ready to self destruct and crash the ship. To protect his friends, Red asks Deoxys to send Mewtwo and {{Adv|Yellow}} to safety via its "black hole", despite their protests.

Mewtwo eventually emerges on the other side of the black hole in front of {{Adv|Blue}}, {{Adv|Green}}, and {{Adv|Silver}} in [[Vermilion City]], holding a sleeping Yellow. Mewtwo is too exasperated to help save Red, but is the only one to notice {{p|Mew}} arrive to help land the battleship safely. Realizing that it finally has someone to trace its roots back to, for he was cloned from Mew's eyelashes - Mewtwo says goodbye to Deoxys, who then flies away. Just then, [[Sird]] of Team Rocket returns and tries to recapture Deoxys with a special beam. To stop her, Mewtwo and the kids jump in front of the beam, resulting in the [[Pokédex holder]]s turning to stone.

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
What had happened to Mewtwo at the climax of the FireRed & LeafGreen chapter was unknown until Sird's reappearance at the end of this chapter. She reveals that the reason for the Pokédex holders' petrification was because that Mewtwo had clashed with the Pokémon she was intending to use on Deoxys, {{p|Darkrai}}. Mewtwo was revealed to have continued chasing her after the Pokédex Holders petrification but eventually lost her.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo's design, as well as its personality, have been slightly altered in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} to give it more character. The new design resembled Mewtwo's {{an|Mewtwo|anime counterpart}}, and even the armor Giovanni trapped Mewtwo in resembled the armor Mewtwo wore in the anime while under Giovanni's control.

== Other Information ==

In the movie ''Mewtwo Strikes Back,'' Mewtwo lures many Pokémon trainers into a trap. He then takes all their Pokémon, using strange Pokéballs with eyes on them. After he captures [[Ash]]'s [[Pikachu]], [[Ash]] runs after it, trying to get it. Ash runs into the cloning machine, pulling Pikachu out. Then, the machine explodes, releasing all of the uncloned Pokémon. Then, all the Pokémon go into a 1-on-1 battle, ending with Ash jumping between Mewtwo and [[Mew]], becoming petrified. When all the trainers and Pokémon start crying, he is healed. Mewtwo realises this, and runs off along with all his Pokémon. He arrives at [[Cerulean Cave]], and all his clones become even stronger due to the lack of trainers.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon. It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]], and in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats.

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

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is widely considered to be unique, due to the fact that only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has a few feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (some times blue when attacking) and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, and it is also known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create a massive hurricane and is constantly protected from harm inside a reflective sphere of psychic energy.
*Altered in the English version, it is claimed that the hurricane was powerful enough to destroy the planet, as well as Mewtwo being able to block a Pokémon's "special abilities".

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (about whom it completely forgot while sleeping from tranquilizers after meeting her). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], which is unable to be accessed until after a trainer has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Mewtwo anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo also appears in ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'' and the ''[[Pokémon Theme]]''.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Mewtwo Adventures.png|thumb|{{adv|Mewtwo}} as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni, and with Red's help managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed him. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Pocket Monsters)}}
Mewtwo is a Pokémon owned by {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}'s.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
{{sbw|Mewtwo}} is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in {{sbw|VS. Mode}}; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Due to its large body and light weight, {{sbw|Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo}} is easy to knock off the stage. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, lacks any fast defensive options, and also has general problems with some of its other moves such as lengthy charging and ending lag.

To make up for this, out of all other playable Pokémon, Mewtwo is the strongest in terms of percent-racking; has a tail with longer reach than most other fighters' moves; has an excellent recovery; has some of the most powerful throws in the game; and, when charged, has the strongest projectile of all playable characters ({{m|Shadow Ball}}).

{{SmashMoves|type=Psychic|game=Melee|Spe=Shadow Ball|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Confusion|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Teleport|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Disable|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
''A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was born from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.''

=====Adventure Mode=====
''As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. {{m|Shadow Ball}} traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses {{m|Confusion}} to spin its foes around.''

=====All-Star Mode=====
''Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. {{m|Teleport}} has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses {{m|Disable}}; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way. Known existing data within the game include: a {{sbw|Classic Mode}} "Congratulations" picture for Mewtwo; unused voice files and sound effects; and even an empty audio file for the Wiimote, whenever he would be selected on the playable roster. While there is a possibility that some of the data for Mewtwo was merely recycled from Melee, recent hacking has proven that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game, having the most scrapped in-game files than any of the other cut characters. Instead, Mewtwo appears as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty.

It was most likely replaced by {{sbw|Lucario}}, since it shares several similar moves with it.
====Trophy information====
''"A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks."''

===Merchandise===
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA strand as its header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its jewel.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Mewtwo is the player's final opponent.
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: {{ga|Silver}} uses a Mewtwo in the final battle.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit Mewtwo within the two minute time-limit.
*[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and [[Purple Eyes]]. It is also seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}.
**Therefore it has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon.
**Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
* In [[Generation I]], Mewtwo had a base stat total of 590, the highest of any non-glitch Pokémon at the time. The [[Generation II]] special split increased its stat total to 680, where it was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}} and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
** Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a 680 base stat total that is not a [[version mascot]] and is also the only one that is not part of any [[legendary trio]]s.
* A {{shiny}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* A journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', even though Mewtwo was a secret Pokémon in the anime at that time.
* Although intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves, has two lower potential Pokéathlon stats, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense.
* Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
* While most other legendary Pokémon that are its equal in terms of [[base stat]] totals have a [[signature move]], Mewtwo did not receive one until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psystrike}}.
* Mewtwo's base stats are numerically the same as {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s, only with a different arrangement.
* Mewtwo's known abilities are shared with another Pokémon, {{p|Vespiquen}}.
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''two'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

== Mewtwo ==

Mewtwo is a geneticlly engineered Pokémon that appeared in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. At the end of the movie, he clones a lot of Pokémon and erases all he trainers memories, taking along his Pokémon with him as he runs to [[Ceruluan Cave]]. This is why all the Pokémon there are so strong.

==HeartGold/SoulSilver games==
I was playing the slots, and noticed the prize for three Pokéballs and Three 7s kept changing. Any ideas? Also, A bonus round comes up upon scoring 777. I'm not fully sure yet, but so far it looks like a picture matching game. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']] [[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]] 13:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

== Any Tips? ==
Do any of you have any glitches on the Game Corner? I really want a PORYGON. Can you trade with me over the [[GTS]]? My name is Paulie.

If you have a potion in any Pokémon game, it will not help very much. In the trading card game, when your Pokémon can only have 150 HP, a potion helps a lot. In the video game, it restores 20 HP, while Pokémon can have ton of HP.

The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''ジョウト地方''' ''Jōto-chihō'') is a [[region|large area]] located west of [[Kanto]]. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. Though it is unlike Kanto in that its name is not directly based on that of a region of Japan, [[Junichi Masuda]] has come forward in his director's column naming the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都)<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=218 2009/5/27</ref>; this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were not present in [[Generation I|previous games]]. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}, players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} with all areas from its Generation II iteration returning, and several new areas being accessible, such as the {{safari|Johto}}, with new [[Route|Routes]] {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading to it.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto}}
[[File:Pokemonworld.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Johto region as the {{wp|Kansai region}}.]]
Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[berry]] crop in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==History==
1500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing—the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}—was developed. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic {{p|Unown}} that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason.

At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]].

Approximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon: {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, respectively. It is unknown what made the residents revere Lugia and Ho-Oh, but a separate tale indicates that Lugia had previously had an encounter with the people of Johto when it stopped a war on the [[Whirl Islands]], which were a single island at that time.
[[File:HGSS Brass Tower.png|thumb|left|The burned [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]]]
The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The revived Pokémon were made to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into Johto's grassland. Similarly, both Lugia and Ho-Oh flew away at the sight of the growing distance between people and Pokémon; while they never returned to Ecruteak, they yearned for a person to touch the hearts and souls of Pokémon once more.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built. Around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto was struck by a long-term drought wave; after bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gained an honorable position in that town.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues. A revived [[Team Rocket]] from Kanto, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]]; they then proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. When they are defeated and Giovanni fails to return due to {{p|Celebi}}'s intervention, the interim leader, [[Archer]], vows to never again re-form Team Rocket. Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto, later to defeat the [[Lance|current Champion]] and get into the [[Hall of Fame]].

But Ethan/Kris/Lyra's most notable effect on Johto lies in their ability to encounter all three of the [[legendary beasts]], as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence. A new chapter in the region's history begins.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Johto.png|thumb|right|300px|In-game map of the Johto region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Johto has ten [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]]. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Safari Zone Gate]] and [[Frontier Access]] act as towns, but they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. As Johto has no autonomous [[Pokémon League]], Kanto shares a League with the region, which borders between Johto and Kanto. Because of this, the two regions share a connection with each other, and unlike any other region, they are able to be traversed to with relative ease. Due to this landmass connection, the geography of Johto is relatively similar to that of its neighbor region.

The Johto region has 20 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Johto and Kanto share the same route system, and therefor starts at {{rt|29|Johto}}, picking up from where Kanto's left off at {{rt|28|Kanto}}. The numbered routes count up to 48, with Routes {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading off into the far west only being accessible in [[Generation IV]]. Compared to the Kanto region, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. Some areas such as {{rt|33|Johto}} are constantly raining, or are purged with other [[weather conditions]]; however, this wasn't seen until [[Generation IV]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto doesn't appear to be a fine line; but more or less a blurry one. {{rt|28|Kanto}} is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes {{rtn|26|Kanto}} and {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

===Demographics===
The Johto region, including all the towns, cities, and other areas, the total population in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is 441.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|300px|thumb|View of [[Ecruteak City]], with [[Mt. Silver]] towering over the region in the distance]]
Johto features some unique and scenic landmarks, whether they be natural or man-made. It prides itself towards mythology and tradition features, with most of the buildings, towers, caves, and locations holding a historical background. Some of the oldest places in Johto, even the Pokémon world, include the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Sprout Tower]], [[Bell Tower]], [[Burned Tower]], and the [[Slowpoke Well]]. The Ruin of Alph, located in central Johto, is the threshold to an ancient civilization that first contacted the Unown, and became the base of which the first system for writing was formed. The Ruins of Alph have said to have been around for at least 1500 year before modern times which makes it one of the first known structures built in the history of Pokémon. As of today, the ruins are being researched by scientists and are able to be visited as a tourist attraction by visitors. The two towers of Ecruteak City which include the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]] are oldest towers in the Pokémon world, dating back to 700 years ago. The two nine-tier towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people and the view from the top of the towers was said to be magnificent. The towers attracted many people to the city, until about 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the western tower, engulfing it in flames, burning the tower down. The towers are surrounded in mystery, and are said to be home to [[legendary Pokémon]], however, at this present point, only the ruins of the Burned Tower can be explored by Trainers, and the Bell Tower is off limits to most people.

Another famous historic location is the Sprout Tower, located in northern Violet City. The Sprout Tower is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, and much like the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]], it is constructed solely out of wood, creating a multi-story effect. Surrounding the tower is a beautiful lake in the center of Violet City, hosting several architectural bridges making its way across the water. Sprout Tower is dedicated to the gentle and peaceful nature of {{p|Bellsprout}}. The giant spine-like pillar located in the center of the tower acts as a support for the old tower structure, and it even protects the tall tower from sudden earthquakes. It is said that the main swaying pillar was, in fact, once a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout. Spout Tower is four stories tall. The ground floor is much like a visitors floor, where tourists come to see the unique style of which the tower was formed. There are three other upper levels, which are dedicated to Pokémon Training; monks who study diligently and train their gentle {{p|Bellsprout}} come to teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation.
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|250px|left|A unique map of Johto]]
Johto also features several different kinds of natural caves and mountains including [[Mt. Mortar]], [[Mt. Silver]], [[Dark Cave]], [[Ice Path]], [[Cliff Cave]], and [[Union Cave]]. Mt. Mortar is a cave complex that travels through Johto's north-most mountain range. It is known by Trainers to be a confusing maze-like area with an interior cave known as the Waterfall Cave. Mt. Mortar has three entrances and is huge inside, one of the largest of all caves in the Johto. It has four floors, and its high Pokémon-encounter rate makes getting lost very costly. It has {{m|Surf}}able waterways, {{m|Waterfall}}s, {{m|Strength}} puzzles, and multiple levels. Dark Cave travels through central Johto, and although the dark caves run beneath the surface of the region, the mountain range is large and a barrier between areas of the region. Mt. Silver, in the east, is also quite large and complex splitting the two regions of Kanto and Johto in half, housing many powerful Pokémon, and it is where the most skilled Trainers train their Pokémon. Another natural landmark in Johto is [[Ilex Forest]] located just west of Azalea Town. The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and the forest seems to be in a perpetual night.

Some famous man-made landmarks include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}}. The Goldenrod Radio Tower is a five-story tower located next to the Magnet Train station in downtown Goldenrod City. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk and Buena's Password. For a short period time the tower fell victim to the clutches of Team Rocket, during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired. The {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}} are all recently built attractions which provide entertainment and fun for tourists, allowing visitors to participate in activities and rides which require the help of Pokémon to complete.

Although the Johto region prides itself on the beach and some of its sea-side towns, the region has very few aquatic landmarks. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the region's most prominent water attraction, said to have been a smoking crater until it filled with rainwater. The lake is home to the world famous [[red Gyarados]]. Because of this irritable Pokémon, the lake was marked a dangerous place to go, since the Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. Another famous water landmark is the [[Whirl Islands]]. Named after the dangerous whirlpools that surround them, the Whirl Islands are four islands between Olivine and Cianwood City that are connected by a maze-like cavernous structure under the water's surface. It is said that at the heart of the caves a legendary Pokémon can be found.

==Geography==
The Johto region, like its neighboring region, [[Kanto]], has a temperate climate. However, Johto's climate is a bit wetter than Kanto's climate.

Johto is notably more rural than the Kanto region, which leans more towards to the urban side. The region has an abundance of water to the west and south, with [[Cianwood City]] being on a completely different landmass. However, Johto is still dominated by land. Johto's ultra-modern [[Goldenrod City]] is found in the heart of the region, on the coast. It is the technological, industrial, and economic area of the Johto region. Due to its centralized position in the region, many smaller but important cities and towns connect to the city. Johto has one large mountain range encompassing almost the entire eastern half of the region, which divides Kanto and Johto and contains [[Mt. Silver]]. [[Blackthorn City]] is nestled deep between the mountains and is very unique because it is a city for {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s.

==Johto League==
{{main|Johto League}}
The Johto League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Johto region. Johto and Kanto share a single [[Elite Four]], located at the Indigo Plateau. Eight Johto League [[Badge]]s are required to participate in [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|League competitions]]. The [[Indigo League]] and Johto League share a single group of Elite Four and {{pkmn|Champion}}; eight Badges from either region will allow a Trainer to battle the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Less commonly, it is known as the "Silver League", usually when referring to the {{pkmn|anime}}. The [[Silver Conference]] is the Johto League's annual [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|championship competition]]. It is held at the base of Mt. Silver.

==Trivia==
[[File:Johto Anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime-based map of the Johto region]]
* It is the only region in which [[Ash Ketchum]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
* Johto is the only region without:
** a Pokémon burial ground
** its own set of [[Fossil|fossil Pokémon]]
** its own [[Victory Road]]
** a museum
** an autonomous [[Pokémon League]] (shared with Kanto)
** its own storage system developer (Bill also developed that of Kanto)
** its own villainous team (Team Rocket is shared with Kanto)
** prior to Generation IV, Johto was also the only region without a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]].
* This lack is mostly due to the fact that Generation II is very dependent on [[Generation I]], and as the latter half of the game's storyline takes place in Kanto, there was no need to repeat many things.
* Johto is the only main series region that does not contain the letter 'n' in its English name.
* In Generation II and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the Dark type and the Ground type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous Gym Leader [[Giovanni]], had the Ground type. However, when Giovanni left the Gym after being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he was replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground type the only type to not have a [[Gym Leader]] or Elite Four member specialize in it in Johto and Kanto for Generation II and IV.
* Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
* Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land, and are likewise the only regions to add additional routes in their second appearances.
* Johto is the only main region in which the [[starter Pokémon]], throughout their evolutions, stay one [[Elemental type|type]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Fire}}).
* [[Generation II]] Johto is tied with [[Unova]] for the fewest [[route]]s of any region with 18; however, [[Generation IV]] Johto has 20 routes.
