Rotom Pokédex

2018-02-07T03:15:59Z

We3dit:

[[File:Sun Moon Rotom Pokédex artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Sun}} using the Rotom Pokédex]]
The '''Rotom Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ロトム{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''Rotom illustrated encyclopedia''), also known as the '''Rotom Dex''', is an electronic device found in [[Alola]]. It is a [[Pokédex]] that is enhanced after being possessed by a {{p|Rotom}}. It appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. This special Pokédex is said to be rare, even in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. While inside the Pokédex, {{p|Rotom}} can [[Talking Pokémon|speak with the player]]. It is given to the player by [[Professor Kukui]].

In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features for the player to use.

==Functions==
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Rotom Pokédex appears on the bottom screen, displaying a map of the area the player is currently in. By tapping the screen, the player can access a variety of functions:
* When the player taps the center of the map, Rotom repeats its most recent suggestion on where to go next.
* When the player taps the map outside the center, the full map function opens, acting in a similar way to the [[Town Map]] in previous games.
* When the player taps the black bridge between Rotom's eyes, the Pokédex function opens.
* When the player taps either of Rotom's eyes or on the red part of its body, Rotom will shake and react in a variety of ways.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the Rotom Pokédex gains more features, upgrades, and different personalities depending on how the player responds to the Rotom Dex.
* The player can bond with the Rotom Pokédex in order to unlock new features such as the Rotom Powers and Z-Rotom Power.
* The Rotom Dex gains its own form of [[Affection]] as the player starts talking to it or interacting, which gains a heart every time that happens.
* Every ten minutes, the Rotom Dex will get a sad look. Tapping it will cause it to react and give it a heart and may ready the Roto Loto, or it may ask the player questions, answering these questions give Rotom a heart and may ready the Roto Loto. Rotom will also ask questions at certain story intervals, and upon reaching [[Poni Island]] every interaction that produces a heart will guarantee the readying of the Roto Loto.
* Taking a photo when prompted by Rotom following the [[evolution]] of a Pokémon will ready Roto Loto, and doing things after becoming Champion such as [[Mantine Surf|surfing on Mantine]] has a chance of readying Roto Loto.
* Rotom Dex can give the player a nickname depending on their choice, examples are Roto-(first character in player's name), Roto Jr. or Master.
* The personality of the Rotom Dex can be influenced in three different ways, defeating many Pokémon will result in Rotom having a aggressive demeanor, using [[Pokémon Refresh]] often will give Rotom a more playful personality, and finally visiting the [[Pokémon Center]]s a lot will make Rotom more easy going.
* Rotom Dex can give the player bits of information about game features, with the set of advice changing depending how much the player responds to the Rotom Dex.
===Pokédex===
{{main|Pokédex#Generation VII|Pokédex → Functions → Entries → Generation VII}}
The Rotom Pokédex's primary function is a fully featured Pokédex. The player can browse and search Pokémon species, view data about them, and look up their habitats. The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the [[QR Scanner]] for most registered Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], a Pokémon that can only be encountered in an [[SOS Battle]] will have a picture of an [[Adrenaline Orb]] next to its location markers when the map is zoomed in.

===Map===
When the Rotom Pokédex is idle, the screen usually shows a map. In this view, the map stays centered on the player's immediate area. The player's location is marked by a smiley face icon, with an arrow indicating the direction the player is facing. If the player is inside a building or certain locations (such as [[Ten Carat Hill]]), however, the map will remain stationary no matter where the player moves and there is no directional arrow. During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.

If the player taps the map, the screen's view broadens to show a larger map akin to [[Town Map]]s in other games. In this broader view, the top screen shows an overview of the whole Alola region, while the bottom screen focuses on an individual island. If the player moves the map's cursor over different areas on the island, the top screen will show a snapshot of the area, a description of the area, and a list of landmarks within it. The player can scroll between the islands using the L and R Buttons and can zoom in using the Y Button. This view also marks the location of any Pokémon Center the player has visited with an icon.

The broad map is also used when the player uses [[Poké Ride|Charizard Glide]]. In this mode, all places that the player can fly to are marked by wing icons.

The island maps (from the lower screen of the broad map) are also used when the player views a Pokémon's habitat from its Pokédex entry.

===Poké Finder===
[[File:Sun Moon Poké Finder artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{ga|Moon}} using the Poké Finder]]
The '''Poké Finder''' (Japanese: '''ポケファインダー''' ''Poké Finder'') function allows players to [[photography|take pictures]] of Pokémon in locations where the icon on the player's bottom screen turns into that of a camera. It can be activated by pressing the R button or tapping the camera icon in those select locations. Pictures are then evaluated with a "Thumbs-Up" score.

====Upgrades====
Upon taking pictures, the player is awarded with a "Thumbs-up" score, which is then added to the total number of "Thumbs-Ups" the player has earned over time. As the total number increases, new versions of the Poké Finder can be unlocked as follows:
* '''Version 1''': Default version.
* '''Version 2''': Unlocks at 1,500 Thumbs-Up. Adds the ability to zoom.
* '''Version 3''': Unlocks at 10,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds additional zoom.
* '''Version 4''': Unlocks at 100,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds maximum zoom.
* '''Version 5''': Unlocks at 1,500,000 Thumbs-Up. Adds the ability to call Pokémon over to the player. A stamp is added to the player's [[Trainer_Card_(game)#Generation_VII|Passport]].

===Roto Loto===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Rotom Power List and Effects}}
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, this feature is unlocked after visiting the [[Pokémon Center]] in {{rt|2|Alola}}. Roto Loto allows the player to obtain items called Rotom Powers, which can be used to provide boosts similar to the [[Pass Powers]] from [[Generation V]] and [[O-Powers]] from [[Generation VI]].

The feature can be activated by tapping on Rotom's eyes once it starts to glow gold, which can occur at random times between 10-20 minute intervals. Its eyes can also glow by tapping on Rotom if it has a sad look on its face. Once the player reaches Poni Island, the player can also activate Roto Loto by interacting with Rotom or answering its questions. After becoming the Champion, the Rotom Dex will activate Roto Loto if certain requests are fulfilled, such as after [[Mantine Surf]]ing or [[Ultra Warp Ride|Ultra Warp Riding]].

Rotom will automatically use several Rotom Powers during the course of the story - Roto Experience when arriving at [[Melemele Meadow]] to retrieve [[Nebby]], Roto Hatch after obtaining the {{p|Eevee}} Egg at [[Paniola Ranch]], and Roto Prize Money when first passing through {{rt|11|Alola}}.

===Z-Rotom Power===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Rotom Pokédex gains this ability from when the player reaches maximum affection with Rotom. When a Rotom Power is used during or outside of battle, the Rotom Dex will assist the player by allowing a [[Z-Move]] to be used again for a second time during the battle.

====Registration quotes====
When the player registers a Pokémon in the Pokédex, Rotom will make certain comments depending on how the Pokémon was obtained or what kind of Pokémon it is. Some comments may be overridden by others, such as the comment for completing a page, which usually supercedes other comments.

* For caught Pokémon:
:''"Why don't you check out just what kind of Pokémon it izzz that you caught, pal?"''
* For evolved Pokémon:
:''"Why don't you check out what kind of new Pokémon your pal evolved into, eh, bucko? Zz-zz-zz!"''
* For Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}:
:''"Ooh, why don't you see what kind of Pokémon wazzz born from that Egg, kiddo?"''
* For Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s or restored [[Fossil]]s:
:''"Hey! Let'zzz check out what kind of Pokémon it is!"''
* ?:
:''"Congratzzz! You registered a Pokémon in your Pokédex. It'zzz a red-letter day...and I'm about as red as anything!"''
* For registering all Pokémon on a single page:
:''"Hot diggity! Look at you—you're on fire, partner! You've filled in all the Pokémon on a single page! It's like we're playing bingo over here! Zz-zz-zz!"''
* When registering a [[guardian deities|guardian deity]]:
:''"Zzzrt! You registered a Land Spirit Pokémon! If I were you, I'd check it out at once!"''
* When registering a [[Legendary Pokémon]]:
:''"Zzzrt! You registered a Legendary Pokémon! That's, well, legendary! Let'zzz check it out!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex anime.png|thumb|250px|Rotom Pokédex in the anime]]
{{main|Rotom Pokédex (anime)}}
{{Ash}} received an Alola Pokédex from [[Professor Kukui]] in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]''. It was empty until ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', where Kukui completed the Pokédex by having a Rotom enter the device, turning Rotom into what it calls the '''Pokédex Rotom version''' (Japanese: '''ロトムポケデックスフォルム''' ''Rotom Pokédex Forme''). It has since registered Ash as its user and follows him around.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Moon Rotom Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Rotom, prior to entering Moon's Pokédex, in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Rotom Pokedex Adventures.png|thumb|200px|The Rotom Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Rotom Pokédex debuted in [[PASM01]]. Originally, it was a regular Rotom that [[Professor Kukui]] requested to receive from a [[region]] outside of Alola so that he may use it to fuse with one of his Pokédexes. Due to this particular Rotom having a weak body, it was unable to be transferred electronically, so {{adv|Moon}} was given the task of delivering Rotom to Professor Kukui while also using her pharmaceutical skills to keep it healthy along the way.

After Moon successfully delivered Rotom, Professor Kukui decided to have it enter {{adv|Sun}}'s empty Pokédex. Due to Sun's mishandling of the Pokédex, Rotom refused to enter it and ran away in disgust. Angered by this, Professor Kukui forced Sun to retrieve Rotom while he attempted to clean the dirty Pokédex.

Later, it was revealed that Professor Kukui had a spare Pokédex, which he gave to Moon. This Pokédex was the one that Rotom decided to enter, becoming the Rotom Pokédex in the process.

Moon later traveled to [[Lush Jungle]] with [[Mallow]] to find a Mirage [[Berry]]. There, they found {{p|Tapu Lele}} in battle with a {{p|Xurkitree}}. Not knowing anything about the [[Ultra Beast]], Rotom went up to Xurkitree to try and record data on it. Xurkitree retaliated by shooting Rotom with a powerful {{t|Electric}} attack, forcing it to fall to the ground and shut down. When Rotom later reactivated itself, it could only utter one word: "{{p|Necrozma}}".

==In the TCG==
[[File:RotomPokédexStarterSet.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Regular print of Rotom Dex]]
{{main|Rotom Dex (Sun & Moon 131)}}
'''Rotom Dex''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era). It was first released in the {{TCG|Collection Sun}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} expansion, with an illustration by [[5ban Graphics]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in both expansions, with an illustration also by 5ban Graphics. Rotom Dex allows the player to shuffle their Prize cards into their deck. The player then take the same amount of remaining Prize cards they have left from the top of their deck and put them face down as their new Prize cards.
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* The Rotom Pokédex is the only Pokédex without the ability to view information about all Pokémon known as of that time ([[Generation VII]]), as it lacks information on the 403 Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex and cannot receive a National Dex upgrade by any means.

List of references to popular culture in Pokémon

2018-01-16T00:51:26Z

We3dit:

'''References to other franchises in the ''Pokémon'' franchise''' are occasionally made.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in the {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room there is a [[television]] connected to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] running "''A game with <sc>{{smw|Mario}}</sc> wearing a bucket on his head!''", referring to the Japan-exclusive game ''{{smw|Mario & Wario}}'', also developed by [[Game Freak]].
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{tc|Hiker}} Eric in the [[Rock Tunnel]] makes a reference to the song ''{{wp|Hit Me with Your Best Shot}}'' by {{wp|Pat Benatar}}, saying "''Hit me with your best shot!''" prior to battle, and "''Fired away!''" after being defeated.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} Ashton in the [[Rock Tunnel]] makes a reference to ''{{wp|Mobile Fighter G Gundam}}'', saying "''Pokémon Fight! Ready, Go!''" prior to battle. Official Gundam Fights in the series began with both participants declaring "Gundam Fight! Ready, Go!"
* In the {{pmin|France|French localization}} of {{game|Crystal}}, the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} are named {{wp|Kenshiro|Ken}}, {{wp|List of Fist of the North Star characters#Shu|Shuu}} and {{wp|Raoh}}, referencing the manga ''{{wp|Fist of the North Star}}''.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, upon {{player}} interaction, the television in the player's house says "''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.'' Better get going!", which is a reference to the movie ''{{wp|Big (film)|Big}}''.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the television in the player's house produces one of two messages upon player interaction, with the reference being dependent on which [[gender]] the [[player]] chose. If the player chose male, the TV says, "''There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks.'' …I'd better go, too.", which is a reference to the film ''{{wp|Stand by Me (film)|Stand by Me}}''. If the player chose female, the TV says, "''There's a movie on TV. A girl in pigtails is walking down a yellow brick road.'' …I'd better go, too.", which is a reference to the ''{{wp|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|Wizard of Oz}}'' film.
* During the Gym battle in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Fantina]] exclaims "Never give up, never surrender!", the catchphrase from the 1999 science fiction comedy movie ''{{wp|Galaxy Quest}}''.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, three Trainers on {{rt|20|Kanto}} have names of characters from ''{{wp|Sesame Street}}'': Elmo, Bert, and Ernie.
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}, when the player reaches 6F of [[Dragonspiral Tower]] for the first time, {{p|Reshiram}}'s cry is heard followed by an unknown person yelling "''Burn, baby, burn!''", which are key lyrics in the song ''{{wp|Disco Inferno}}'' by {{wp|The Trammps}}.
** Similarly, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the announcer's introduction of [[Flannery]] in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] also includes the line "''Burn, baby, burn!''".
* In the English versions of Pokémon Black and White, two [[Driftveil Gym]] Pokémon Trainers ({{tc|Clerk}} {{gsu|Isaac}} and {{tc|Worker}} {{gsu|Felix}}) who use {{type|Ground}} Pokémon share their names with main characters from the first two games of the {{gsu|Golden Sun series|''Golden Sun'' series}}, who are both associated with the element of {{gsu|Venus|earth}}.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's flashback ''{{DL|Memory Link|Taking it to The Next Level}}'', [[Elesa]] says, "''You bet! And don't call me Shirley.''" This is a possible reference to a line in the movie ''{{wp|Airplane!}}''.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the [[Giant Monster Series|''Giant Monster'' Series]] movies of the [[Pokéstar Studios]] are likely a reference to the ''{{wp|Godzilla}}'' movies. Also, the Mecha {{p|Tyranitar}}, MT for short, is likely a reference to Godzilla's mechanical counterpart, Mecha Godzilla.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the [[Full Metal Cop Series|''Full Metal Cop'' Series]] movies in [[Pokéstar Studios]] are a reference to the ''{{wp|RoboCop}}'' films. The premise of several of them, in which the titular character battles a villainous ninja, is likely a reference to ''{{wp|RoboCop 3}}''.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, after being defeated by the player, {{tc|Preschooler}} Mia on {{rt|4|Kalos}} says "''Hey! Hey! Listen!''" before battle, referencing {{zw|Navi}} from {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series}}.
* In Pokémon X and Y, an non-playable character (NPC) in [[Lumiose City]] mentions the play ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}'', with the titular Beast as a Pokémon.
* In Pokémon X and Y, after being defeated by the player, {{tc|Psychic}} Robert on {{rt|10|Kalos}} references the famous "over 9000" meme spawned from ''{{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}'', commenting "''Wow. You and your Pokémon's power levels are amazing! They're over 9000 for sure!''"
* In Pokémon X and Y, after being defeated by the player, a Psychic near Psychic Robert says "''You and your Pokémon were far more powerful than I could have imagined...''" which is a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi's line just before Darth Vader kills him in ''{{wp|Star Wars (film)|Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope}}''.
* In Pokémon X and Y, a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} found at the [[Poké Ball Factory]] says "''Don't worry, be happy!''", referring to {{wp|Bobby McFerrin}}'s song ''{{wp|Don't Worry, Be Happy}}''.
* In Pokémon X and Y, while the [[ultimate weapon]] is present in [[Geosenge Town]], a Team Flare Grunt in front of a house in the west of the town comments "''Only Team Flare's stayin' alive, stayin' alive.''", referencing the {{wp|Bee Gees}} song ''{{wp|Stayin' Alive}}''.

* The dub titles of ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' are references to the fairytale ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''.
* In the dubs of both ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]'' and ''[[AG073| Grass Hysteria]]'', Meowth shouts "James! Stop this crazy thing!", a reference to George's famous "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!" from ''{{wp|The Jetsons}}''.
* In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]]'s appearance, demeanor and handgun bear a resemblance to a character portrayed by {{wp|Clint Eastwood}} in the Spaghetti Western ''{{wp|Man with No Name}}''.
* The plot of ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' is based on the events of {{wp|Akira Kurosawa}}'s ''{{wp|Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo}}''.
* In ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish dub}}, Brock says ''{{tt|Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}'', and Ash replies ''{{tt|Jo, men de turnere mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}'' and in the {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian dub}}, Brock says ''{{tt|Jeg visste ikke at vikinger fantes ennå.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}'', and Ash replies ''{{tt|Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}'' This makes it likely that both the Norwegian and Danish dubs reference the Swedish band, {{wp|Vikingarna (band)|Vikingarna}}.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}}, Brock says ''{{tt|Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}'', and Ash replies ''{{tt|Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.|Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway}}''. Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
* The ''{{wp|Indiana Jones (franchise)|Indiana Jones franchise}}'' is referred in several episodes, [[Gary]]'s outfit in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' is very similar to the titular's and the giant boulder scene from ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}'' is reenacted in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.
* In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', {{an|Brock}} mentions that [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] directed ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|I Saw What You Ate Last Tuesday}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|I Know What You Did Last Summer}}''.
* The plot of ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', which was first mentioned in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', is based on ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''.
* In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', the movie ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'' is shown at [[Camp Pokéhearst]], a reference to ''{{wp|That Darn Cat! (1965 film)|That Darn Cat!}}''.
* The dub title of ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'' is a reference to the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" from ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''. The names of the two Nidoran in love, Tony and Maria, are references to ''{{wp|West Side Story}}'', which was based on Romeo and Juliet. In the dub, at the end of the episode the narrator makes reference to ''{{wp|All's Well That Ends Well}}'', another {{wp|William Shakespeare|Shakespeare}} play.
* In ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]'', Gligarman is based on {{wp|Batman}}. His civilian name, [[Mr. Parker]], is likely based on Peter Parker, the alter ego of the superhero {{wp|Spider-Man}}. When the video of Gligarman is shown, "''Look up in the sky, is it a {{p|Pidgeotto}}, a {{p|Charizard}}, a {{p|Dragonite}}? No, it's the crime fighting superhero Gligarman!''" is heard, a reference to the famous {{wp|Superman}} line "''Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!''"
* The dub title of ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' is a reference to the {{wp|Village People}} song ''{{wp|Macho Man (song)|Macho Man}}''.
* In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', {{an|May}} describes a movie about a luxurious spaceship with a {{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}} in love who are separated because of an ice asteroid, which is a parody of the movie ''{{wp|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}'', while the ship displayed in the film is similar in design to the titular spaceship from ''{{wp|Space Battleship Yamato}}''.
** [[Max]] describes a movie about a giant {{p|Meowth}} destroying a city and battling against {{p|Pichu}} fighter pilots and a giant {{p|Marshtomp}}, which is based on the Japanese television show {{wp|Ultraman}}.
* [[Tyson's Meowth]] that debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' is loosely based on the fairytale character [[wp:Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots]].
* In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', Meowth's remote is similar to a {{wp|Wii}} remote, and he says "whee" once he pushes it.
* In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', two girls near the beginning look like {{wp|Sakura Kinomoto}} and {{wp|Tomoyo Daidōji}} from {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura}}. This is most likely a joke on how their hats resemble the one [[Wallace]] wears.
* [[Hamilton]], a [[character of the day]] in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' is based on a character named Hiroshi from the anime and manga {{wp|Dokonjō Gaeru}}. His {{p|Croagunk}}, Craig, is a reference to the frog known as Pyonkichi, as it spent a lot of time on the front of his shirt.
** Hamilton's appearance and even the Japanese names of both himself and Craig were changed shortly after the episode's initial airing in Japan, possibly to avoid a lawsuit from the producers of Dokonjō Gaeru.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian dub}} of ''[[DP115|Stealing the Conversation!]]'', {{p|Chatot}} calls Jessie "{{wp|Lassie}}." When Jessie tries to correct it, Chatot says "''Lassie ran away.''"
* In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', before the group attack, the way Ash and his Sinnoh team ({{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Ash|Staraptor}}, {{TP|Ash|Grotle}}, {{TP|Ash|Monferno}}, {{TP|Ash|Buizel}} and {{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}) pose, strongly resembles the {{wp|Super Sentai}} pose.
* The plot of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' references the story of the {{wp|Pied Piper of Hamelin}} when [[Burgh]] uses his bug flute to lead the {{p|Venipede}} out the city at the request of [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]].
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentioned ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Yamask of the Opera}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera}}''.
* In ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', when {{MTR}} tries to ask {{p|Purrloin}} out for a date, he says "''Come on baby, don't say maybe!''", referring to {{wp|Jackson Browne}}'s song ''Take It Easy''.
* In ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]'', [[Charles]] has the alter ego of The Mighty Accelguard (Japanese: 快傑ア☆ギルダー ''{{tt|Kaiketsu|swift hero}} A☆Gilder''), which most likely draws inspiration from ''{{wp|Kaiketsu Zubat}}''. Certain other aspects of his alter ego, like his A☆Gilder Kick attack, draw inspiration from the titular characters of the {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}.
* In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love]]'', during {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}'s training montage, it is seen running up a flight of stairs and throwing its arms into the air in victory. This is a reference to the film ''{{wp|Rocky}}'' where {{wp|Sylvester Stallone}}'s character does exactly the same thing.
* The plot of ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'' is a tribute to {{wp|Doraemon}}, with {{OBP|Mick|BW065}}, [[Glenn]] and [[Sean]] having similar roles to that of {{wp|List of Doraemon characters|Nobita, Gian and Suneo}}.
* In ''[[BW076|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2]]'', when {{TRT}} attacks {{Ash}} and the group under a tree, [[Jessie]] has a communication device over her eye. After Ash and [[Ferris]] refuse to give up {{p|Tirtouga}}, Jessie says "Resistance is futile." This line is the catchphrase of the Borg from ''{{wp|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}'', who commonly wore similar devices.
* The {{wp|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM}} logo has been referenced several times in the anime with different Pokémon taking the place of {{wp|Leo the Lion (MGM)|Leo the Lion}};
** In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force]]'', with {{TP|Luke|Zorua}} in Leo's place.
** In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', with {{MTR}} in Leo's place.
** In ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'' with {{AP|Pikachu}} in Leo's place.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', the character [[Leon]]'s design and mannerisms, are based on the character Iyami from the manga and anime ''{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}'' He even adds "zansu" to his speech and does Iyami's trademark "Sheeh" pose.
* In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', a fantasy depicts a {{p|Gumshoos}} and some {{p|Yungoos}} scaring away [[Regional variant|Alolan]] {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} in a similar fashion to the title card for the anime series ''{{wp|Gamba no Bōken}}''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
* {{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}}'s catchphrase is "{{wp|Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)|Que Sera, Sera}}", a reference to a popular song by the same name.
* [[Jet]], a competitor in the [[Pokéathlon]], is based on Jet Link (or Cyborg 002) from {{wp|Cyborg 009}}, having a near identical resemblance and his reputation for being fast.
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
* Brock sings a line of the ''Sesame Street'' song "[http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Rubber_Duckie_(song) Rubber Duckie]" in the hot springs in Chapter 2, Volume 2.

Pokémon breeding

2017-07-03T13:23:53Z

{{incomplete|2=Missing Japanese name and other languages section}}
'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
From [[Generation II]] onward, Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] (that takes two Pokémon) or the [[Pokémon Nursery]].

Pokémon can be bred at Pokémon Day Cares or Pokémon Nurseries at the following locations:
{| class="roundy" style="border:2px solid #9CCD83; background:#83B46A; margin-left:10px"
! style="background:#D5CDA4; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Region
! style="background:#D5CDA4; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Location
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Kanto]] ({{gameabbrev3|FRLG}} only) || {{OBP|Four Island|town}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Johto]] || {{rt|34|Johto}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Hoenn]] || {{rt|117|Hoenn}} [[Battle Resort]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Sinnoh]] || [[Solaceon Town]]
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Unova]] || {{rt|3|Unova}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[Kalos]] || {{rt|7|Kalos}}
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Alola]]
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | [[Paniola Ranch]]
|}

Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species (or share at least one [[Egg Group]]) and are of opposite genders; alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless, and in fact, genderless Pokémon can breed only with Ditto. Pokémon in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group cannot breed whatsoever, and Ditto cannot breed with itself.

In Generation II only, if the {{stat|Defense}} IVs of two Pokémon are the same, and the {{stat|Special}} IVs are either the same or differ by 8, they cannot produce Eggs. Because of how IVs are passed down from parents, this condition suggests the Pokémon are related.

====Breeding rate====
The chance of any two Pokémon producing an Egg is determined by their species, including evolutionary relatives and {{p|Ditto}} (two {{p|Bulbasaur}} are the same species, while Bulbasaur and {{p|Ivysaur}} are not) and their [[Original Trainer]]s. In [[Generation III]] or later, the [[Day-Care Man]] will describe the two Pokémon's compatibility when the player speaks to him. In these games, an Egg may be generated after every 256 steps the player takes.

| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 0%
|}
The chances of finding an Egg are different in Generation II, and the compatibility can be checked by interacting with the Pokémon themselves instead of with the Day-Care Man. In these games, there is a chance to generate an Egg after every step.

| style="background:#FFF" | "It's brimming with energy."
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 0%
|}

====Receiving the Egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, the game will periodically decide whether the Day-Care Man has found an Egg, with the chances depending on the compatibility of the two Pokémon as detailed in the section above.

If an Egg was produced, the Day-Care Man will move from his default position so that the player can know he has an Egg.
*In [[Generation II]], he will appear in the Day Care's yard.
*In [[Generation III]], he will step out of line with the fence.
*In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, he will face the road instead of facing down.
*In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he will face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]].
*In [[Generation V]], he will call out to the player when they are passing by on the road below.
**In {{2v2|Black|White}}, however, the Day-Care Man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an Egg.
*In [[Generation VI]], he will face the road instead of in towards the Day Care.
*In [[Generation VII]], the Pokémon Nursery lady will fold her arms, with her right hand under her chin.
The Day-Care Man will hand the player an {{pkmn|Egg}} if he or she replies that they want the Egg and if they have an empty slot in their party. If the player tells the Day-Care Man they do not want the Egg, he will permanently keep it. If the player says they want the Egg but does not have a spare slot, the Day-Care Man will keep it until the player returns, when he will offer it again; otherwise, there is no way to refuse the Egg and receive it later. In Generation VII, the player no longer needs an empty slot in the party.

====What will hatch====
After taking enough steps, the Egg will hatch into a [[level]] 1 ([[Generation IV]] onward) or level 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) first-stage Pokémon of the female species's (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.

=====Gender-counterpart species=====
There are two pairs of Pokémon families where the male and female are different species. In these cases, an Egg produced has an even chance to hatch into either the male or female variant. The pairs are the following:

=====Incense breeding=====
There are several Pokémon which can produce two different kinds of Eggs, dependent on whether or not a parent of the Egg [[held item|held]] a specific [[incense]] when it was produced.

=====Other=====
There is one special case, where a Pokémon can produce offspring that cannot evolve into it exclusively, and they are not gender counterparts.

===Hatching Eggs===
The time it takes for an Egg to hatch depends on its species's required number of [[Egg cycles]]. {{p|Magikarp}} have the fewest Egg cycles, meaning they hatch the fastest. Some baby Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Igglybuff}}, hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and more, start with a high number of Egg cycles and take a long time to hatch.

"Time" is actually determined by Egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An Egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activates breeding-related programs in the game. One Egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the second and third generations, 255 steps in the fourth generation, and 257 steps in later generations. When the game reaches the end of an Egg cycle, it does a few things: the step counter for the cycle is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an Egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) Eggs currently in the player's [[party]] have their Egg cycle count reduced by one. If the Egg cycle count for an Egg reaches zero after being reduced (in the second and in the fifth or later generations) or is zero when it would be reduced (in the third and fourth generations), the Egg will begin to hatch. Prior to the fifth generation, if an Egg hatches, the game will not subtract an Egg cycle count from the rest of the Eggs after it in the party, ensuring that no two Eggs can hatch at the same time. In the fifth generation and later, if more than one Egg reaches zero at the same time, the first Egg hatches immediately while the rest hatch in order each time the player takes another step.

In the third and fourth generations, the Egg cycle's step counter can be reset by receiving an Egg from the Day-Care Man or the Manaphy Egg from the Mystery Gift delivery man in the [[Poké Mart]]. When an Egg is received from one of these people, the game resets the Egg cycle step counter to one in the third generation and to zero in the fourth generation.

As an example, in {{g|X and Y}}, a {{p|Misdreavus}} Egg starts with 25 Egg cycles, meaning it requires from 6169 to 6425 steps to hatch, depending on where the Egg cycle step counter is when the Egg is picked up. After each Egg cycle is completed, the Egg's Egg cycle count will drop by one, first to 24, then 23, then 22, and so on until the Egg cycle count hits zero, at which point the Egg will hatch into Misdreavus.

There are ways to speed up the time required to hatch an Egg. Riding a [[Bicycle]] reduces the time required simply by making it faster to complete steps. From Pokémon Emerald onward, if a Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is in a player's party, Egg cycles are reduced by two instead of one at the end of an Egg cycle, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the Egg. In the Misdreavus example, the Egg would start at 25, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the Egg would drop 2 Egg cycle counts after each Egg cycle, to 23 then 21 then 19 and so on, until it finally drops from 1 to 0 and hatches. Having multiple Pokémon with the Ability or one with each will not increase the Egg cycle reduction. Since the fifth generation, Hatching Powers can also be used (either from {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}} or [[O-Power]]s) to shorten the length of an Egg cycle, making Eggs hatch 1.25, 1.5, or 2× faster depending on the strength of the power used. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Secret Pals in the player's [[Secret Base]] can also use the skill "Take care of an Egg" to reduce an Egg's Egg cycle count by half of its base Egg cycles.

===Passing moves down===
The [[move]]s obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
* By default, the baby Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1. (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they will know all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.)
* If both parents know a move that the baby can learn via leveling up, the Pokémon will inherit that move.
* Prior to Generation VI, if the father knows any moves that are [[TM]]s or [[HM]]s in that game (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, moves that are taught by a [[Move Tutor]]) that the baby is also compatible with, it will inherit the move. If a genderless Pokémon breeds with Ditto, the resultant baby will inherit any compatible TM or HM moves that the genderless non-Ditto Pokémon parent knows.
* If the father or, starting in Generation VI, the mother knows any specific [[Egg Move]]s that the baby can learn, the baby will inherit the move.
* From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if either parent is holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, a bred Pichu will know {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Volt Tackle cannot be passed down as a normal Egg Move.

If this would result in the baby possessing more than four moves, the moves take priority in the order listed: Volt Tackle, mother's Egg Moves, father's Egg Moves, TM and HM moves, inherited level-up moves, baby's default moveset. The moves passed down will be ordered on the baby Pokémon by the priority listed above.

Starting in [[Generation VI]], the [[Move Reminder]] can teach any Pokémon hatched in a Generation VI game any move that it knew when it hatched, if it has forgotten it. Moves that can be taught this way due to inheriting them appear at the top of the Move Reminder's list. However, even if a Pokémon meets the requirements for more than four inherited moves, only the moves it knew when it hatched can be taught by the Move Reminder.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between generations.

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

If the Defense IVs of two partners are the same, and the Special IVs are either the same or differ by 8, the two Pokémon are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from its parents (e.g. if one parent contributes two IVs, its mate will contribute the third). The other three are determined at random, though it is possible that some of these may coincide with those of its parents without actually being inherited.

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

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

From {{game|Platinum}} onward, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent.

From {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} onward, if either parent holds an [[EV-enhancing item]] (excluding the Macho Brace), the baby will instead receive the IV of the corresponding stat from that parent, then inherit two other random IVs each from a random parent; if both parents hold an EV-enhancing item (excluding the Macho Brace), the baby will inherit the corresponding stat to their held item from one of those parents at random. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit the {{stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, such as Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either the Speed IV from the first parent or the {{stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP (whichever was successfully inherited will be the one not chosen).

====Generation V====
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

====Generation VI====
From {{g|X and Y}} onward, if at least one parent holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}}, the baby will inherit five IVs instead of three.

This can be combined with an [[EV-enhancing item]] to ensure that one desired IV is always inherited; however, the offspring will still inherit only a total of five IVs from its parents (the EV-enhancing item simply guarantees which IV will be transferred for one of the five that the Destiny Knot allows).

===Inheriting Natures===
In {{game|Emerald}}, if the mother (in a male-female pair) or {{p|Ditto}} (in a pair that includes Ditto) is holding an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's [[Nature]].

In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting Natures remains the same as in Emerald, except that passing on Natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon have different original languages.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will have a chance of passing down its Nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.

In Black and White, inheriting Natures remains the same as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, except that passing on Natures via an Everstone will now work even if the Pokémon are from different original languages.

From {{2v2|Black|White|2}} onward, if one parent holds an Everstone, its Nature will always be passed down. If both parents are holding an Everstone, a parent's Nature will still always be passed down, but which parent's Nature is passed down is randomly determined.

===Inheriting Abilities===
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by breeding. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]] and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and genderless Pokémon to pass down their Ability. From Generation VI onward, if a male or genderless Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with Ditto, it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

===Inheriting Poké Balls===
Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are obtained in a standard red-and-white {{ball|Poké}}.

Starting in Generation VI, the Poké Ball of the female Pokémon will be passed down to its offspring. In Generation VII, if a male and female Pokémon of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]] are bred, the offspring will have an equal chance of inheriting either parent's Poké Ball. Despite being able to produce offspring of either species when bred together, {{p|Nidoran♀}}/{{p|Nidoran♂}} and {{p|Volbeat}}/{{p|Illumise}} are still considered different species and the male's Poké Ball will not be inherited when breeding with its female counterpart.

In Generation VI, male and genderless Pokémon (including {{p|Ditto}}) have no impact on the type of Poké Ball inherited; as such, when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto (which is the only way to breed certain species), the offspring is always obtained in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VII]], when breeding a male or genderless Pokémon with Ditto, the Poké Ball of the male or genderless Pokémon will be passed down to its offspring.

For the purposes of inheriting Poké Balls, parents in a {{ball|Master}} or {{ball|Cherish}} are always treated as being in a standard Poké Ball.

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], due to Shininess being determined by IVs and the fact that IVs are passed down through breeding, it is possible for an Egg bred from a Shiny Pokémon to have a chance as high as 1/64 of being Shiny itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This is not possible in any later generations due to Shininess no longer being related to IVs.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon always has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.

====Generation IV====
In Generation IV, there is now a 5/8192 (~1/1639) chance of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when the parents have different original languages, a five times increase of the usual rate. This mechanic is known as the [[Masuda method]], after [[Junichi Masuda]].

====Generation V====
Starting in Generation V, the [[Masuda method]]'s success rate increased from 5/8192 (~1/1639) to 6/8192 (~1/1366).

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the [[Shiny Charm]] was introduced, which if owned by the player will increase the chance of encountering or hatching a Shiny Pokémon by a flat 2/8192, to 3/8192 (~1/2731) for a regularly bred Pokémon, or 8/8192 (1/1024) if the parents have different original languages.

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Masuda method's success rate when combined with the [[Shiny Charm]] is increased to 1/512.

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

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

==Trivia==
* Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing {{Appendix|Fan terminology#HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord}}. However, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed.
* {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line and {{p|Nidoran♀}} can.
* Although [[Legendary Pokémon]] except {{p|Manaphy}} (and debatably {{p|Phione}}) cannot breed in the [[core series]] games, {{pkmn|Egg}}s containing {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special Egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in the Generation IV games.
* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed from [[Generation IV]] onwards, where all hatched Pokémon start at level 1.
* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to producing an Egg. These were not changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It is unclear as to whether this is meant literally or metaphorically.

One-hit knockout move

2017-06-22T04:50:34Z

We3dit:

{{bad picture|2=Should be replaced with Generation VII images}}
'''One-hit knockout moves''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|一撃必殺|いちげきひっさつ}}わざ''' ''one-hit knockout move''), commonly abbreviated as '''one-hit KO moves''' or '''OHKO moves''', are [[move]]s whose effect is to immediately drop the target's {{stat|HP}} to zero. When such a move successfully hits, the game will display the message "It's a one-hit KO!" (or simply "One-hit KO!" in Generation I).

All OHKO moves have a base {{PP}} of 5. In [[Generation I]], their [[accuracy]] was a constant 30%, but they would automatically fail if the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat was lower than the target's. In later [[generation]]s, they instead automatically fail if the target is of a higher [[level]] than the user, and their accuracy starts at 30% and increases for each level the user is above the target.

The accuracy of OHKO moves are fixed to the above formula, and will not be affected by {{stat|Accuracy}} or {{stat|Evasion}} stats. For example, holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wide Lens}} will not make OHKO moves any more likely to hit, and using {{m|Double Team}} will not make them any less likely to hit. However, effects such as that of the Ability {{a|No Guard}}, the item {{DL|Battle item|X Accuracy}} in [[Generation II]] or earlier, or the move {{m|Lock-On}} will allow OHKO moves to always hit.

If a OHKO move becomes a [[Z-Move]], it will have a power of 180.

A Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Sturdy}} will be unaffected by OHKO moves, unless that Ability is negated (such as through {{a|Mold Breaker}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}). A Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} is also immune unless it is weak to the type of the OHKO move. At full HP, a Pokémon holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} will instead be reduced to 1 HP by any OHKO move.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] of games, OHKO moves can hit regardless of level, although they are very prone to missing as always. When one hits, the game states that the target fainted through "calamitous damage" (changed to the standard "It's a one-hit KO!" in {{FB|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: |Gates to Infinity}}). However, they actually do 9999 damage, which can be seen when the attacks are reflected by {{DL|IQ|IQ skills}} such as Counter Hitter if the Pokémon is revived by a {{DL|Seed|Reviver Seed}}.

==Trivia==
* These moves are often combined with {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} to ensure it hits. {{p|Articuno}} can learn Mind Reader and {{m|Sheer Cold}}; in [[Generation II]], {{p|Poliwrath}} can have {{m|Fissure}} and Mind Reader if it is taught Fissure in a [[Generation I]] game and traded over; and {{p|Smeargle}} can have any combination of the two types of move using {{m|Sketch}}.
* {{p|Lapras}} can learn the most one-hit KO moves of any Pokémon (excluding Smeargle), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* All one-hit KO moves are normally ineffective against a type of Pokémon. {{m|Fissure}} cannot affect {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, {{m|Guillotine}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} cannot affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{m|Sheer Cold}} cannot affect {{type|Ice}} Pokémon (as of Generation VII). Of these, only Sheer Cold's ineffectiveness is not based on a type immunity, and thus cannot be bypassed (e.g. with a move like {{m|Gravity}} or {{m|Foresight}}). Sheer Cold is also the only one-hit KO move where this ineffectiveness did not exist until after its debut generation.
* In [[Generation VII]], Sheer Cold is the only one-hit KO move that says the accuracy will be lower for any non-ice type Pokémon who uses the move.

List of glitches in spin-off games

2017-06-14T07:11:36Z

We3dit:

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in [[spin-off Pokémon games]].

==In [[Pokémon Play It!]]==

===Bench glitch===
It is not possible to put Pokémon on the {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}} before the play starts. Instead, players must wait for their first turn to put Pokémon on the Bench. This was fixed in [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]].

===Magmar Flamethrower glitch===
No Energy card is discarded from {{TCG ID|Base Set|Magmar|36}} when using the Flamethrower attack. This was fixed in [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]].

==In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]==

===CPU Garbage Block glitches===
{{GlitchResearch|Do these glitches occur more often in the VC release?}}
The CPU in the game is designed in a way that overlooks a Garbage Block entering the CPU's cursor. This can cause a variety of issues and glitches depending upon the board and the circumstances around how the Garbage Block entered the cursor.

====CPU lock glitch====
The CPU can occasionally lockup due to a Garbage Block falling into the CPU's cursor. During this particular issue, the cursor will stay on the Garbage Block or the edge of it and another block. Occasionally, the CPU may recover if more Garbage Blocks drop from the top of the field or if a new row of blocks is added to the bottom of the field.
{{youtubevid|ROIE7BxWiLw|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|9f3qASm3YHs|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|o3BMkyylyCg|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}

====Softlock glitch====
The game can occasionally [[softlock]] due to the interaction between the CPU's cursor and Garbage Blocks. This will prevent the game from ending upon the blocks of one field staying at the top of the field for too long. A clear sign of this glitch occurring is when gravity no longer works on blocks.
{{youtubevid|IPtRuOV3h0I|DJPhilanegro|orange}}
{{youtubevid|MQY8WUPItro|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|vFjaMqePdOo|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}

===Same character glitch===
The game can be forced to use the same name by tricking it during the character select screen. Due to how the game tracks which character is selected through the player's name, the game will switch to the character picked by that player after the first match has concluded.

{{youtubevid|BRNofZry2hg|Matthew|orange}}

==In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]==
===In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]===

====Dungeon shop glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], by placing an item on the carpet and quicksaving the game, after the game is restarted Kecleon will continue to think that the item has been sold recently and will pay the sell price every time he is spoken to.

{{youtubevid|Hhi0JXFeAZ0|MrAlbrave|MD Red|MD Blue}}

===In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]===

====False thief glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], if a wild Pokémon is knocked out on a Kecleon shop and drops an item, the item is picked up like usual, but this will be considered as stealing. Even talking to Kecleon before leaving the shop won't do anything, as it wasn't set as a Kecleon shop item.

====Member join glitch====
If the player completes a job with a reward listed as ???, it means that the player will either receive an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the client will join the exploration team, or—in the case of Magnezone and Magnemite when Chansey already has an Egg—receive 1000 [[Poké]]. If one of these jobs is completed before the player can recruit new members, the game will half freeze after the text: "Thank you for rescuing <Pokémon>!" However, the background music will stay an infinite loop.

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]===

====Luminous Spring freeze glitch====
In North American releases of the game, the game will freeze if the player attempts to evolve a Pokémon whose nickname consists of exactly ten characters, unless it was the last Pokémon obtained. The glitch was fixed in the European and Australian versions of the game.

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Teams]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]]===

====Aggressive Kecleon glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], if a team member attacks {{p|Kecleon}} before any items are stolen (via explosion or Blast Seed), the Kecleon will proceed to become hostile and can be defeated. If Kecleon is attacked while the player is within the shop, the music played still continues to be the shopping music. When items within the shop are stepped on, the player will still not immediately pick it up and a price tag is displayed, as if it can still be purchased, regardless of whether or not the Kecleon was defeated. Regardless of whether or not any items are taken, once the player exits the shop, Kecleon will accuse the player of being a thief (even if the initial Kecleon is already defeated), causing the music to change and more Kecleon to spawn.

The glitch is still present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] but the player will not be considered a thief unless they take an item after the shop Kecleon is defeated.

====Kecleon team member glitch====
A glitch in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] that allows the player to make Kecleon act as if it were part of the team without recruiting it. It is not present in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. It is not actually part of the team, only behaving as part of it, so it will not follow the team onto the next floor.

If Kecleon is attacked by a wild Pokémon, Kecleon will attack the Pokémon who attacked it.

Wild Pokémon will not usually attack Kecleon, but can be forced to by using a Pass Scarf to pass their attacks onto the Kecleon.

{{youtubevid|Wf3jTzfJU4U|MrAlbrave|Normal}}

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity===

====Defiant text oversight====
A text glitch occurs when a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Defiant}} has its stats lowered at the same time as a team member placed after it (such as from {{m|Growl}}). The message log will use the team member's name, instead of the name of the Pokémon with Defiant, when displaying "''<Pokémon>'s Defiant Ability was activated!''"

====False thief glitch variant====
If a defeated wild Pokémon drops an item onto a shop tile, exiting the shop will prompt Kecleon to ask whether the player would like to sell the item as if they set it down themselves. The player can pick up the item as if it was a regular dropped item (the Kecleon Shop item menu doesn't pop up), but leaving the shop with said item will be considered stealing and result in Kecleon attacking the team.

====Mienfoo dialogue oversight====
When playing as the partner Pokémon, after the player Pokémon has returned to the human world and has yet to return to the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, the {{p|Mienfoo}} acquainted with the team will salute the partner Pokémon with a "''Morning, <player's name>!''" instead of "''Morning, <partner's name>!''", when spoken to in [[Post Town]].

====Serperior walk animation oversight====
If the player chose {{p|Snivy}} as their partner and evolved them into a {{p|Serperior}}, the partner's walking animation will fail to loop correctly when walking slowly in an area outside a dungeon, such as the Paradise Center.

==In the Pokémon Ranger series==
===In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
====Invisible wall glitch====
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video or animation}}
In [[Vien Forest]], the player can find spots where they will not be able to continue walking, even though there is nothing in their path due to the boundary of the trees.

==In the Pokémon Rumble series==
===In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]===
===={{p|Ditto}} move glitch====
{{Incomplete|section|Needs a video or animation}}
If a {{p|Ditto}} copies a Ditto which copied a Ditto who copied one of the player's [[Toy Pokémon]] and the Ditto is toppled and recruited, the Ditto will have one of the moves of the Pokémon that was copied originally.

====Noclip Pokémon spawn glitch====
In 4-1, if a Pokémon uses one of the long ranged skills into the main hull of the [[Temple of Keys]], it will tell that the player that they have just defeated a [[Toy Pokémon]] from the area.
This can be easily explained by spawning zones. Some other building models also have this spawn effect.

===In [[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
====Royal Competition glitch====
In any Royal Competition, it is possible to knock out a wild [[Toy Pokémon]] just when the timer hits 0. While the wild Toy Pokémon's HP will be displayed as 0, it will remain standing.

If that Toy Pokémon is the last one remaining, the "CLEAR" message will be shown on-screen, but the game will show a "Times up!" message after and the stage will not be cleared.

====Out of Bounds====
It is possible to go out of bounds. If you call your [[Mii]] character to the grassy area on the left, you must go inside the Mii and have him/her carry you over the grass and hit up and then you are out of bounds. If you go too far to the East, you can enter the void. If you go too far into the West, you will enter the castle. If you go too far to the North, the camera goes back to the plaza and you enter the castle. Going South just takes you to the plaza. To end the glitch, you can go South or enter the castle.

=====Alternate Method=====
If you get your Mii character to go into the small patch of grass, go through your Mii and have him/her carry you. Once you're in the castle from the carrying, hit left or up and you're out of bounds.

==In [[Pokémon Shuffle]]==
===Use any Pokémon glitch===
This glitch can be performed as soon as the player gets the ability to select Support Pokémon by touching the Poké Ball icon. It allows the player to use any unregistered Support Pokémon from the Support Pokémon selection screen at level 1, and the Pokémon can be brought into a game. It will not be registered as caught.

Steps:
#Enter the Support Pokémon selection screen.
#Tap the search icon.
#Change "Caught Pokémon" to "All Pokémon".
#Tap "SEARCH".
#Drag and drop a Pokémon that was already selected as a Support Pokémon with any of the 158 different Pokémon to get it as a Support Pokémon.

If the player wants to remove the icon of a non-caught Support Pokémon, they can drag an existing Support Pokémon on to it to get the existing Support Pokémon in that slot. The player cannot move the icon of a non-caught Support Pokémon directly.

This glitch was patched in version 1.0.2.
{{youtubevid|RpzleivBLqc|Scarlet_Kohaku|glitch}}

===Make a move before immediate Disruption===
In any stage where the opponent starts out with a disruption countdown of 0, it is possible to drag a Pokémon on the board to make a match the first frame the word "START!" appears before the disruption completely triggers.

==In [[Pokémon Picross]]==
===Area Map mistake===
If the player unlocks an area with a higher number than a locked area with a path that connects to it, then the paths between the locked and unlocked areas will be colored gold as if both locations are unlocked in the area select screen of the Map-Screen Menu.

==In [[Pokémon GO]]==
===Backpack freeze glitch===
If a Pokémon escapes from a [[Poké Ball]] and flees while the player attempts to open up the Backpack, then the game will freeze.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kwm0b "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, the battle screen was slightly reprogrammed, resulting in this glitch being fixed.

===Egg Hatching glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Is there a reliable way to either trigger or avoid this glitch? Are the results somewhat random? Is there any footage or video of the glitch?}}
An {{pkmn|Egg}} can reach the requirements to hatch while in Pokémon GO, but fail to actually hatch through a combination of issues. Occasionally, the egg will fail to produce a Pokémon and disappear, though it is possible for the Pokémon to appear later on.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4s15wf/my_eggs_disappeared_what_the_fuck/ My eggs disappeared what the fuck - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4s3s9f/egg_never_hatched_no_screen_or_anything/ Egg never hatched, no screen or anything. - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rw678/the_case_of_the_disappearing_eggs/ The case of the disappearing eggs. - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kv6vb "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

===Grimer glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Can it occur with an iPhone or similar Apple product?}}
If a player using an Android phone encounters a Grimer or hatches a Grimer from an Egg, then the game will likely crash. This occurs in all released versions up to 0.31.0.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rzpjg/grimers_model_makes_my_game_crash/ Grimer's model makes my game crash - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

===Gym glitches===
{{GlitchResearch|Is there more to this issue? Are these sub-glitches of each other?}}
If a Pokémon reaches 1HP during a battle for a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, then the game may prevent that Pokémon from fainting in battle outside of using [[status condition]]s that do damage. This can lead to several issues such as losing the ability to switch Pokémon or being prevented from starting the battle.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rmu75/1hp_gym_bug/d54ao9w 1hp gym bug - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

{{youtubevid|2wfdNzkJJ7E|channel/UC4tYRdfO1k_bK7muZEnOqUg|name=Brian Stieve|blue}}

====Egg Gym glitch====
A player can select an empty Gym and choose to place an Egg in the Gym instead of a Pokémon. The Egg will appear in the Gym with 0 CP, no model, and be unable to be fought.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4xi1ii/someone_is_placing_eggs_in_gyms_and_they_cant_be/ Someone is placing eggs in gyms and they cant be taken down - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> 

===Pokédex glitch===
When clicking on a caught Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], the entry of the Pokémon may become distorted with the individual letters appearing down the side of the screen. Additionally, the game may revert to the entry for the first Pokémon available in the Pokédex. This glitch occurs in versions 0.29.0 to 0.29.3 and was fixed in 0.31.0.
{{youtubevid|Bbg0C_9iiGs|channel/UCbnLWnwVSqRwF2Opwv9E4Bg|name=Tutikaz Goes Insane|blue}}

===Size Medal oversights===
In version 0.29.0 of Pokémon GO, the {{tc|Youngster}} and {{tc|Fisherman}} [[Medal]]s stated that the current progress toward the requirements for the medal would be "Caught {0} Rattata/Magikarp weighing at most {1}" for all medals respectively. The intended text refers to catching a number of the required that have a specific weight indicator for the Pokémon in question, with Rattata being XS for example.

In version 0.29.2, the medals were changed to read "Caught (number of XS/XL) Rattata/Magikarp." Version 0.29.3 fully fixed the text for both medals to instead read "Caught (number) tiny/big Rattata/Magikarp."

===Shadow glitch===
If a Poké Ball is used as soon as it is available, then it can disappear under the ground and produce a growing shadow over the area. Eventually, the game will crash due to this.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4t5pfd/server_status_and_known_issues_faq/?limit=500 Server Status and Known Issues FAQ - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4tg64z/i_was_trying_to_do_the_method_where_you_throw_the/ I was trying to do the method where you throw the pokeball as quick as you can in the beginning but it ended up going into the air and creating a large shadow that look like a bottomless pit - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, the battle screen was slightly reprogrammed, resulting in this glitch being fixed.

===Sound bugs===
Occasionally, the game will suddenly stop playing music due to different issues. It can be caused by a notification on an Android device or an issue with getting data from the server.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kuyg5 "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> It occurs in all released versions up to 0.31.0.

===Three footprint glitch===
Sometime after the version 0.29.2 update, the step counter for all nearby Pokémon would always be displayed with three footprints, even if the Pokémon is visible onscreen. This continued into the 0.29.3 version and was speculated to be a server-side modification.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4u3dkk/psa_nearby_tab_is_not_broken_just_disabled/?sort=top PSA: Nearby tab is not broken, Just Disabled. - /r/pokemongo on reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, footprints were removed altogether.

===Ditto background glitch===
In some cases when catching a Pokémon, {{p|Ditto}} may appear on the screen along with the background when a Pokémon transforms into Ditto. This has happened in the 0.63.1 update and has not been fixed.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/6b0u5l/why_is_there_a_ditto_in_the_background_of_my/]</ref>

'''Medicham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャーレム''' ''Charem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meditite}} starting at [[level]] 37. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Medicham''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Medichamite}}.

==Biology==
Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips.

As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white {{wp|turban}} with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced willpower, Mega Medicham has formed four ghost-like arms around itself. The more trained its spirit, the more realistic and dexterous its self-created arms become.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Medicham</ref>

Through the power of meditation and fasting, Medicham has developed a sixth sense. This allows it to use psychokinetic powers, and it heightens its energy to enhance this sixth sense. It battles with elegant, dance-like movements, which it uses to dodge attacks and launch devastating blows. It only eats once per month. It lives in fields and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. It will hide itself by using its powers to blend into its surroundings.

==Trivia==
* Medicham and its {{p|Meditite|pre-evolution}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] to have the Ability {{a|Pure Power}}.
* Mega Medicham has the lowest maximum stats of all Mega Evolutions, with its Attack and Speed having a maximum of 100.
** However, due to the Ability {{a|Pure Power}}, its Attack stat is doubled to 200.

===Origin===
Medicham resembles a {{wp|primate}} of some sort, like its {{p|Meditite|pre-evolution.}} It appears to have been based on a practitioner of {{wp|yoga}}. It may have also been based on Arabian {{wp|belly dance}}rs, as its pants resemble traditional {{wp|bedlah}} pants and its headgear resembles a {{wp|shawl}}. One headpiece growth, the longest one, resembles a ponytail, which can be seen on Persian genies in most American fiction, such as Jeannie of ''{{wp|I Dream of Jeannie}}'', who also wear bedlahs. Like its predecessor Meditite, Medicham looks like many {{wp|Hinduism|Hindu}} deities, most especially {{wp|Shiva}}, and {{wp|Ardhanari}}, a fusion of Shiva and his wife {{wp|Shakti}}.

====Name origin====
Medicham may be a combination of ''meditate'' and ''champion''.

Charem may derive from ''charm'', ''{{wp|harem pants}}'', ''challenge'', or ''champion''.

A team in Generation V which features {{a|Prankster}} {{p|Liepard}} and/or {{p|Purrloin}} that know {{m|Assist}} and are holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} or {{DL|Incense|Full Incense}}, with the only moves known by other Pokémon being {{cat|moves with a semi-invulnerable turn}} or moves that cannot be called by Assist. (If both Liepard and Purrloin are being used, they also cannot know any moves other than moves with a semi-invulnerable turn or moves that cannot be called by Assist.) Typically, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} are used (Shadow Force for being unable to be hit by any move, Dive to hit Normal types).

This setup means that Purrloin/Liepard will use the move Assist with +1 [[priority]], which calls a move with a semi-invulnerable turn. The next turn, they move at 0 priority (since they are now using a physical move, so Prankster doesn't apply), and move last due to the held Lagging Tail/Full Incense. Repeating this process, they wear down the opposing team and are very difficult to hit.

Starting in Generation VI, Assist can no longer call moves with a semi-invulnerable turn. Players speculate that this was changed to specifically prevent this strategy.

====Double Genie====
Refers to a pair of {{p|Thundurus}} Incarnate Forme and {{p|Landorus}} Therian Forme being present in a team in a [[Double Battle]]. Common in Generation V and VI VGC (2013, 2015-2016).

Examples include {{me|Charizard}} Y and {{p|Hippowdon}}/{{p|Tyranitar}} core (Sun-Sand Offense) in Single Battle and Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} team (Dual [[Primal Reversion|Primal]]) in VGC 2016.

====GyaraVire====

====Khan Artist====
Refers to {{me|Kangaskhan}} and {{p|Smeargle}} as the leads in a [[Double Battle]]. Typically, Smeargle knows {{m|Dark Void}} and Kangaskhan knows {{m|Fake Out}}, allowing significant first-turn disruption by putting both of the opponent's Pokémon to {{status|sleep}}. Common in Generation VI VGC (2014, 2015, 2016).

From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any Pokémon other than {{p|Darkrai}}, so Dark Void Smeargle is no longer used.

====KokoChomp====
Refers to {{p|Tapu Koko}} and {{p|Garchomp}} being present in a team in VGC 2017. Due to the presence of [[guardian deities]] in this format, Garchomp's {{m|Dragon Claw}} is often replaced with another coverage move such as {{m|Poison Jab}} or {{m|Fire Fang}}.

====Lillikoal====
Refers to {{p|Torkoal}} with the Ability {{a|Drought}} and {{p|Lilligant}} with the Ability {{a|Chlorophyll}} as the leads in a team in VGC 2017. Due to being the slowest [[weather]] setter, Torkoal's Ability Drought causes [[intense sunlight]] with very little interruption, which doubles Lilligant's Speed due to its Ability Chlorophyll activated during the sunny weather. Lilligant can also use {{m|After You}} to make Torkoal's {{m|Eruption}} attack faster after Lilligant.

====Mimilax====
Refers to {{p|Mimikyu}} with {{m|Trick Room}} and {{a|Gluttony}} {{p|Snorlax}} holding [[Figy Berry]] or [[Iapapa Berry]] being present in a team in VGC 2017.

====SkarmBliss====
Refers to a {{p|Skarmory}} set and a {{p|Blissey}} set being present in a team in a Single Battle, and the resulting defensive synergy by switching to the appropriate Pokémon to take physical or special hits, respectively.

All the other Pokemon on the team have moves such as {{m|Focus Punch}} which cannot be called upon via Assist so the Liepard/Meowstic is able to use a +1 [[priority]] Dark Void at the opponents causing both to fall asleep. Although rarely seen, it was seen in Generation VI VGC (2014-2016).

From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any Pokémon other than {{p|Darkrai}}, so Voidcats is no longer used.

Refers to a set of {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, {{p|Landorus}} Therian Forme, and {{me|Kangaskhan}} in VGC 2015. This team was used by the Japanese players in Top 8 Master Division of [[2015 World Championships]].

====CressTran====
Refers to a {{p|Cresselia}} set and a {{p|Heatran}} set being present in a team in a [[Double Battle]]. Common in Generation V and VI VGC (2012-2013, 2015).

====DeoSharp====
Refers to a {{p|Deoxys}} Defense Forme with {{m|Spikes}}/{{m|Stealth Rock}} holding a [[Red Card]] and a {{a|Defiant}} {{p|Bisharp}} being present in a team in a Single Battle. This team is used to punish the opposing [[#Hazard remover|hazard remover]], especially a {{m|Defog}}ger, by using the opponent's Defog on Bisharp, which activates Bisharp's Defiant Ability and raises its Attack by 2 stages.

====Divecats====
A team in Generation V which features {{a|Prankster}} {{p|Liepard}} and/or {{p|Purrloin}} that know {{m|Assist}} and are holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} or {{DL|Incense|Full Incense}}, with the only moves known by other Pokémon being {{cat|moves with a semi-invulnerable turn}} or moves that cannot be called by Assist. (If both Liepard and Purrloin are being used, they also cannot know any moves other than moves with a semi-invulnerable turn or moves that cannot be called by Assist.) Typically, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} are used (Shadow Force for being unable to be hit by any move, Dive to hit Normal types).

This setup means that Purrloin/Liepard will use the move Assist with +1 [[priority]], which calls a move with a semi-invulnerable turn. The next turn, they move at 0 priority (since they are now using a physical move, so Prankster doesn't apply), and move last due to the held Lagging Tail/Full Incense. Repeating this process, they wear down the opposing team and are very difficult to hit.

Starting in Generation VI, Assist can no longer call moves with a semi-invulnerable turn. Players speculate that this was changed to specifically prevent this strategy.

====Double Genie====
Refers to a pair of {{p|Thundurus}} Incarnate Forme and {{p|Landorus}} Therian Forme being present in a team in a [[Double Battle]]. Common in Generation V and VI VGC (2013, 2015-2016).

====DragMag====
Refers to the core of {{type|Dragon}} sweeper (such as {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Hydreigon}}, and {{p|Salamence}}) and {{a|Magnet Pull}} {{p|Magnezone}} with {{type|Fire}} {{m|Hidden Power}} being used together as an offensive core in a Single Battle, which allows a Dragon-type Pokémon to spam the powerful Dragon-type attacks such as {{m|Outrage}} and {{m|Draco Meteor}} without being countered by {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

====Dual Weather====
Refers to a pair of Pokémon with {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions}} ({{a|Drought}} and {{a|Sand Stream}}, etc.) being used together as an offensive core. These teams are also designed to defeat a Pokémon with the specific [[type]] and counter the other [[weather]]-based teams. Examples include {{me|Charizard}} Y and {{p|Hippowdon}}/{{p|Tyranitar}} core (Sun-Sand Offense) in Single Battle and Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} team (Dual [[Primal Reversion|Primal]]) in VGC 2016.

====Ferrocent/Jellithorn====
Refers to a pair of {{p|Ferrothorn}} and {{p|Jellicent}} being present in a team, resulting the offensive and defensive synergy especially in the [[rain]]. Common in Generation V VGC (2011-2013).

====GardeSpore====
Refers to a pair of {{me|Gardevoir}} with {{m|Trick Room}} and {{p|Amoonguss}} that knows {{m|Spore}} and {{m|Rage Powder}} being present in a team in a [[Double Battle]]. Common in Generation VI VGC (2014-2016).

====GyaraVire====
Refers to {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Electivire}} being used together as an offensive core in Generation IV. Electivire switches into Gyarados's {{type|Electric}} weakness to boost its Speed by one due to the Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}. Gyarados switches into {{type|Ground}} attacks aimed at the switched out Electivire.

====Japan Sand====
Refers to {{p|Tyranitar}} with [[Choice Scarf]] and {{p|Excadrill}} with {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} being used together as an offensive core. Tyranitar's Ability {{a|Sand Stream}} summons {{weather|sandstorm}}, which doubles Excadrill's Speed due to its Ability {{a|Sand Rush}} activated during sandstorm. Common in Generation V and VI VGC (2011-2013, 2015).

====Khan Artist====
Refers to {{me|Kangaskhan}} and {{p|Smeargle}} as the leads in a [[Double Battle]]. Typically, Smeargle knows {{m|Dark Void}} and Kangaskhan knows {{m|Fake Out}}, allowing significant first-turn disruption by putting both of the opponent's Pokémon to {{status|sleep}}. Common in Generation VI VGC (2014, 2015, 2016).

From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any Pokémon other than {{p|Darkrai}}, so Dark Void Smeargle is no longer used.

====KokoChomp====
Refers to {{p|Tapu Koko}} and {{p|Garchomp}} being present in a team in VGC 2017. Due to the presence of [[guardian deities]] in this format, Garchomp's {{m|Dragon Claw}} is often replaced with another coverage move such as {{m|Poison Jab}} or {{m|Fire Fang}}.

====LeleBlim====
Refers to {{p|Tapu Lele}} and {{a|Unburden}} {{p|Drifblim}} that knows {{m|Tailwind}} and holding [[Psychic Seed]] being present in a team in VGC 2017. Drifblim is able set up Tailwind faster than any other Pokémon due to its Unburden Ability activated when Psychic Seed is consumed in the {{m|Psychic Terrain}}.

====Lillikoal====
Refers to {{p|Torkoal}} with the Ability {{a|Drought}} and {{p|Lilligant}} with the Ability {{a|Chlorophyll}} as the leads in a team in VGC 2017. Due to being the slowest [[weather]] setter, Torkoal's Ability Drought causes [[intense sunlight]] with very little interruption, which doubles Lilligant's Speed due to its Ability Chlorophyll activated during the sunny weather. Lilligant can also use {{m|After You}} to make Torkoal's {{m|Eruption}} attack faster after Lilligant.

====Mimilax====
Refers to {{p|Mimikyu}} with {{m|Trick Room}} and {{a|Gluttony}} {{p|Snorlax}} holding [[Figy Berry]] or [[Iapapa Berry]] being present in a team in VGC 2017.

====Rain Offense====
Refers to a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Drizzle}} (such as {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Politoed}}, or {{p|Pelipper}}) and a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Swift Swim}} (such as {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Golduck}}, or {{me|Swampert}}) being used together as an offensive core. These teams are also quite used in [[Double Battle]], which includes Politoed/Ludicolo ("Policolo") in VGC 2012-2014 and Pelipper/Golduck ("Double Duck") in VGC 2017.

====RayOgre====
Refers to a pair of {{me|Rayquaza}} and [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} in VGC 2016, which was used to counter the [[#Big 6|Big 6]] or {{p|Xerneas}}/[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} team.

====Regen Core====
Refers to the core of several Pokémon with {{a|Regenerator}} Ability (such as {{p|Alomomola}}, {{p|Reuniclus}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Tornadus}} Therian Forme) being present in a team in a Single Battle, which requires numerous [[recall|switches]] to restore the team's HP by using the Ability Regenerator.

====SkarmBliss====
Refers to a {{p|Skarmory}} set and a {{p|Blissey}} set being present in a team in a Single Battle, and the resulting defensive synergy by switching to the appropriate Pokémon to take physical or special hits, respectively. Both Skarmory and Blissey usually hold [[Leftovers]] in the unofficial formats.

====Terracott====
Refers to {{p|Terrakion}} and {{p|Whimsicott}} with the move {{m|Beat Up}} as the leads in a [[Double Battle]]. Typically, Whimsicott uses Beat Up on Terrakion, activating Terrakion's {{a|Justified}} Ability and raising its {{stat|Attack}} by 4 stages. Common in Generation V and VI VGC (2011-2013, 2015).

====Toxasteela====
Refers to a {{p|Toxapex}} set and a {{p|Celesteela}} set being present in a team in a Single Battle, resulting the defensive synergy by Toxapex and the offensive/defensive pressure by Celesteela.

====Voidcats====
Refers to a {{p|Liepard}}/Male {{p|Meowstic}} with {{a|Prankster}} Ability with {{m|Assist}} and a {{p|Smeargle}} knowing {{m|Dark Void}} either as an ally or within the active party. All the other Pokemon on the team have moves such as {{m|Focus Punch}} which cannot be called upon via Assist so the Liepard/Meowstic is able to use a +1 [[priority]] Dark Void at the opponents causing both to fall asleep. Although rarely seen, it was seen in Generation VI VGC (2014-2016).

From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any Pokémon other than {{p|Darkrai}}, so Voidcats is no longer used.

====Wonder Trio====
Refers to {{me|Sableye}}, {{p|Shedinja}} with {{m|Baton Pass}}, and {{a|Arena Trap}} {{p|Dugtrio}} sets being present in a team in a Single Battle, which is used to punish the opposing entry hazard users by using Mega Sableye's {{a|Magic Bounce}} and trap potential stall and stallbreakers by using the momentum of Shedinja's Baton Pass and Dugtrio's Arena Trap.

These teams are also accompanied with several [[#Wall|wall]]s, which includes {{a|Sturdy}} {{p|Skarmory}} with {{m|Counter}}, {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Eviolite}} {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Clefable}}/{{p|Quagsire}} with {{a|Unaware}} Ability, {{p|Gothitelle}} with {{a|Shadow Tag}} Ability, and/or {{p|Toxapex}} with {{a|Regenerator}} Ability.

====ZapChomp====
Refers to {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Garchomp}} being used together in a [[Double Battle]]. The popularity of [[#Disquake|Disquake]] strategy was stemmed by this team. Common in Generation IV, V, and VI VGC (2009-2010, 2012, 2014).

Pokémon Ultimate Handbook

}}

The '''Pokémon Ultimate Handbook''' by Cris Silvestri is an edition of ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' series that was published on October 1, 2008. It served as a paper form of the [[National Pokédex]] for all 491 Pokémon known at the time in alphabetical order, excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}}. The book's final pages include a special feature of Darkrai and a section on all [[Legendary Pokémon]] except Shaymin and Arceus.

An ''Updated Edition'' of the book was released in 2009 by the same author. The updated version fixes some of the errors that are present in the first edition, and it also includes entries for Arceus, as well as Shaymin's Land and Sky Formes.

==Blurb==
'''This handbook features every Pokémon ever--it's truly the ultimate guide for every Pokémon fan!'''

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Ash's Pokémon journey has taken him through some incredible regions, and now they're all in one book! This deluxe handbook includes facts & figures for every single Pokémon. That's over 480 entries--packed with inside info and special tips. It's truly the ultimate guide for every Pokémon fan.

==Entries==
The entries for each Pokémon are in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with one of its evolutions, or another Pokémon.

===Name===
Each entry is topped with a large, slab-shaped bar of a random color. Unlike its predecessors, these bars have both the Pokémon's name and species name inside, and the color does not reference its type.

===Stats===
Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:

# Pronunciation
# Possible [[Move]]s (moves the Pokémon will already know and learn along the way)
# [[Type]]
# Height and weight
# [[Region]] it resides in (either [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], or [[Sinnoh]])

Moves introduced in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]] are not included.

===Image and other information===
Each Pokémon has an anime-style picture on its page, with "flavor text" under their name. Pages for legendary Pokémon have stars on their page and their bar will be white with a glowing stroke around it.

===Evolution chain===
At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an evolution chain.

==Errors==
[[Image:PokemonUltimateHandbookUpdatedEdition.png|thumb|right|200px|The updated edition]]

'''Diggersby''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホルード''' ''Horudo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bunnelby}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Diggersby is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a large, portly rabbit. Its most remarkable features are its two ears, which are each crowned with a massive, muscular forearm, complete with three-fingered paws. The ears are furry and mostly grey in coloration, with a pink inner pinna, whereas the paws at the ends of the ears are brown. Three spots of brown fur surround each of the ear-wrists. A pointed protrusion marks the outer elbow, hinting at the presence of bones inside the ear-forearms. These ears are strong enough to lift objects weighing over a ton and prove to be an invaluable asset in Diggersby's digging.

The other four limbs growing from Diggersby's round, grey torso are small in comparison to the ears. The fur of the upper paws is white, while the feet are brown. A {{wp|Haramaki (clothing)|sash-like band}} composed of thicker, wooly fur surrounds its waist, where it tends to tuck its paws in. This sash is sectioned brown on its sides and yellow at its front and back; its short tail is also yellow, protruding from the back section of the sash. Diggersby's face is dominated by a large brown muzzle, resembling stubble. Two large front teeth protrude from its wide mouth and three whiskers decorate each cheek. Its eyes are perpetually squinting and it seems to favor a slightly furrowed brow.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dolan Diggersby.png|thumb|left|Diggersby in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Diggersby made its anime debut in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'' under the ownership of [[Dolan]]. It was often used to assist Dolan in his poaching activities. When {{Ash}} battled Dolan to rescue {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and the {{p|Spewpa}}, it overpowered {{AP|Froakie}} despite having a type disadvantage, but it was defeated after the Spewpa that had escaped evolved into {{p|Vivillon}} and {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

A Diggersby appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'' where it attacked the group of Pokémon that befriended [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] when it was still a wild Pokémon and tried to take their home but eventually helped to move the train.

[[Clemont's Bunnelby]] appeared as a Diggersby in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' on a video icon.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY063|A Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!]]''.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''.

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

* Diggersby is the only {{type|Ground}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Spikes}}.

===Origin===
Diggersby is based on a rabbit. Considering its ability to use its ears as powerful digging and excavating tools, as well as the fact that it hangs out at construction sites, Diggersby is probably based on an {{wp|excavator}} and possibly other {{wp|heavy equipment}}. The brown fur on its ears resembles excavated dirt or mud. Its tendency to laze about after working, as well as its muzzle and mud-like markings, may also mean Diggersby is based on {{wp|construction worker}}s as well.

====Name origin====
Diggersby may be a combination of ''digger'' and ''bunny''.

Horudo may be a combination of 掘る ''horu'' (to dig) or ''hole'' and 土 ''do'' (soil) or 兎 ''to'' (rabbit).

'''Diggersby''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホルード''' ''Horudo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bunnelby}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Diggersby is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a large, portly rabbit. Its most remarkable features are its two ears, which are each crowned with a massive, muscular forearm, complete with three-fingered paws. The ears are furry and mostly grey in coloration, with a pink inner pinna, whereas the paws at the ends of the ears are brown. Three spots of brown fur surround each of the ear-wrists. A pointed protrusion marks the outer elbow, hinting at the presence of bones inside the ear-forearms. These ears are strong enough to lift objects weighing over a ton and prove to be an invaluable asset in Diggersby's digging.

The other four limbs growing from Diggersby's round, grey torso are small in comparison to the ears. The fur of the upper paws is white, while the feet are brown. A {{wp|Haramaki (clothing)|sash-like band}} composed of thicker, wooly fur surrounds its waist, where it tends to tuck its paws in. This sash is sectioned brown on its sides and yellow at its front and back; its short tail is also yellow, protruding from the back section of the sash. Diggersby's face is dominated by a large brown muzzle, resembling stubble. Two large front teeth protrude from its wide mouth and three whiskers decorate each cheek. Its eyes are perpetually squinting and it seems to favor a slightly furrowed brow.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dolan Diggersby.png|thumb|left|Diggersby in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Diggersby made its anime debut in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'' under the ownership of [[Dolan]]. It was often used to assist Dolan in his poaching activities. When {{Ash}} battled Dolan to rescue {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and the {{p|Spewpa}}, it overpowered {{AP|Froakie}} despite having a type disadvantage, but it was defeated after the Spewpa that had escaped evolved into {{p|Vivillon}} and {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

A Diggersby appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'' where it attacked the group of Pokémon that befriended [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] when it was still a wild Pokémon and tried to take their home but eventually helped to move the train.

[[Clemont's Bunnelby]] appeared as a Diggersby in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' on a video icon.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY063|A Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!]]''.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''.

* Diggersby is the only {{type|Ground}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Spikes}}.

===Origin===
Diggersby is based on a rabbit. Considering its ability to use its ears as powerful digging and excavating tools, as well as the fact that it hangs out at construction sites, Diggersby is probably based on an {{wp|excavator}} and possibly other {{wp|heavy equipment}}. The brown fur on its ears resembles excavated dirt or mud. Its tendency to laze about after working, as well as its muzzle and mud-like markings, may also mean Diggersby is based on {{wp|construction worker}}s as well.

====Name origin====
Diggersby may be a combination of ''digger'' and ''bunny''.

Horudo may be a combination of 掘る ''horu'' (to dig) or ''hole'' and 土 ''do'' (soil) or 兎 ''to'' (rabbit).

'''Diggersby''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホルード''' ''Horudo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bunnelby}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Diggersby is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a large, portly rabbit. Its most remarkable features are its two ears, which are each crowned with a massive, muscular forearm, complete with three-fingered paws. The ears are furry and mostly grey in coloration, with a pink inner pinna, whereas the paws at the ends of the ears are brown. Three spots of brown fur surround each of the ear-wrists. A pointed protrusion marks the outer elbow, hinting at the presence of bones inside the ear-forearms. These ears are strong enough to lift objects weighing over a ton and prove to be an invaluable asset in Diggersby's digging.

The other four limbs growing from Diggersby's round, grey torso are small in comparison to the ears. The fur of the upper paws is white, while the feet are brown. A {{wp|Haramaki (clothing)|sash-like band}} composed of thicker, wooly fur surrounds its waist, where it tends to tuck its paws in. This sash is sectioned brown on its sides and yellow at its front and back; its short tail is also yellow, protruding from the back section of the sash. Diggersby's face is dominated by a large brown muzzle, resembling stubble. Two large front teeth protrude from its wide mouth and three whiskers decorate each cheek. Its eyes are perpetually squinting and it seems to favor a slightly furrowed brow.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dolan Diggersby.png|thumb|left|Diggersby in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Diggersby made its anime debut in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'' under the ownership of [[Dolan]]. It was often used to assist Dolan in his poaching activities. When {{Ash}} battled Dolan to rescue {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and the {{p|Spewpa}}, it overpowered {{AP|Froakie}} despite having a type disadvantage, but it was defeated after the Spewpa that had escaped evolved into {{p|Vivillon}} and {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

A Diggersby appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY088|A Trip Down Memory Train!]]'' where it attacked the group of Pokémon that befriended [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] when it was still a wild Pokémon and tried to take their home but eventually helped to move the train.

[[Clemont's Bunnelby]] appeared as a Diggersby in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' on a video icon.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY063|A Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!]]''.

A Diggersby appeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''.

==Trivia==
; No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Diggersby.
:Some glitch Pokémon in [[Generation I]] have this type combination, so it is technically not unique.
* Diggersby is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 423.
* Diggersby is the only {{type|Ground}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Spikes}}.

===Origin===
Diggersby is based on a rabbit. Considering its ability to use its ears as powerful digging and excavating tools, as well as the fact that it hangs out at construction sites, Diggersby is probably based on an {{wp|excavator}} and possibly other {{wp|heavy equipment}}. The brown fur on its ears resembles excavated dirt or mud. Its tendency to laze about after working, as well as its muzzle and mud-like markings, may also mean Diggersby is based on {{wp|construction worker}}s as well.

====Name origin====
Diggersby may be a combination of ''digger'' and ''bunny''.

Horudo may be a combination of 掘る ''horu'' (to dig) or ''hole'' and 土 ''do'' (soil) or 兎 ''to'' (rabbit).

===Meet Your Pokémon Pals!===

===Pokémon Profiles===
Includes a listing of Pokémon with pictures and information. They are usually either taken from the [[National Pokédex]] order or a [[regional Pokédex]], or are sometimes alphabetical.

===Anime novelizations===
All the Annuals contain adaptations from movies or anime episodes. The illustrations are taken directly from the anime.

===Puzzles===
Pokémon themed puzzles and activities, including quizzes, crosswords and mazes.

===Board game===
Most of the Annuals contain board games, usually based on current events in the anime.

==Errors==
* In the 2005 Annual, {{p|Rhyhorn}}'s and {{p|Rhydon}}'s pictures are reversed. This error was corrected in the 2006 edition. The same error occurs again in the 2011 edition on page 33.

*In the 2014 Annual, the quiz on page 57 states [[Ash's Palpitoad]] is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* In the 2017 Annual, the front cover has a typo: it shows "Activites" instead of "Activities."

'''Kangaskhan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガルーラ''' ''Garura'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Kangaskhan''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Kangaskhanite}}.

==Biology==
Kangaskhan is a large, bipedal creature with a thick tail. It has a brown hide with several raised patches, and a cream-colored belly. On top of its head is a black patch, and it has large cream-colored ears and red eyes. Its snout is short and rounded with two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. There are {{wp|epaulette}}-like growths over its shoulders and a row of spikes down its back. It has three clawed digits on each hand and foot. In the pouch on its belly, it carries a baby Kangaskhan. Unlike its parent, the baby is light purple and has smooth skin. Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart. However, the baby is not known to be an individual Pokémon.

As Mega Kangaskhan, the mother Kangaskhan appears unchanged. However, the baby has grown into a child and gained some new features. There are now raised patches on its knees similar to those seen on its mother. These patches also appear aligned horizontally along its belly. Small, spiked growths appear underneath its ears. The child is feisty, hates to lose and will boldly challenge its opponents to protect its mother.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Kangaskhan</ref> The mother's happiness over its child's growth is the source of its additional strength. However, it feels uneasy about the child's future, as it is only skilled at fighting and nothing else.

Kangaskhan is a nurturing Pokémon that protects its young at all costs. The baby leaves the pouch only rarely until it is three years old. In order to avoid crushing the baby, Kangaskhan sleeps standing up. If the mother feels the environment is safe, it will allow its young out to play. However, it will violently attack anything that it sees as a threat to its young. Regardless of how badly injured it becomes, the mother will not cease fighting until its young is safe. Although it was nearly hunted to extinction, Kangaskhan can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannahs and other grasslands.}}

==Trivia==
* Since {{pkmn|breeding}} was introduced in Generation II, even a Kangaskhan newly hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} already has a baby Kangaskhan in its pouch. The same oddity occurs with {{p|Chansey}} (which hatches with an egg in its pouch).

===Origin===
Kangaskhan is based on a {{wp|kangaroo}} with elements of Mongolian {{wp|Laminar armour}}, evident in its helmet-like plate with ear flaps and its epaulettes.

====Name origin====
Kangaskhan may be a combination of ''{{wp|kangaroo}}'' and ''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}'', who was the notoriously violent founder and Emperor of the Mongol Empire. This possibly is in reference to how its Pokédex data refers to it becoming "violently enraged" when protecting its child.

Garura is derived from カンガルー (kangaroo) and ルーラー (ruler).

'''Overheat''' (Japanese: '''オーバーヒート''' ''Overheat'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It has been [[TM50]] since Generation III.

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Overheat deals damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages. Overheat makes [[contact]] with the target in this generation.

Overheat can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra six appeal points if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generations IV and V===
Overheat no longer makes [[contact]] with the target.

===Generation VI onwards===
Overheat's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==Description==

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Overheat damages all enemy Pokémon within one tile of the user and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}}. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Overheat's description erroneously states that it lowers the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} instead of Special Attack. This error is not present in the TM description of Overheat.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Overheat appears as one of {{p|Chandelure}}'s Pokémon moves. Chandelure glows red and charges up, gaining armor against a variety of attacks until it releases a fiery tornado. After the attack, Chandelure falls over and has its Attack and Speed lowered, referencing the Special Attack reduction of the original move. If used again with lowered stats, it deals significantly less damage, while when used in a positive state, it deals significantly more damage while also removing the buffs Chandelure had.

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Draco Meteor can only be tutored to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Consequently, it can only be taught to {{p|Arceus}} while it is holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}, and to {{p|Silvally}} while it is holding the {{DL|Memory|Dragon Memory}}.
*In the [[Sinnoh]] region, the Tutor (grandma [[Wilma]]) can be found on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} in her house.
*In the [[Johto]] region, the Tutor is in [[Blackthorn City]].
*In the [[Unova]] region, [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} will teach this move at [[Opelucid City]].
*In the [[Kalos]] region, there is a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}} with a Tutor inside.
*In the [[Hoenn]] region{{sup/6|ORAS}}, the Tutor is an {{tc|Expert}} in [[Sootopolis City]].
*In the [[Alola]] region, the Tutor is in the Pokémon Center in [[Seafolk Village]].

Similar to {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, the Pokémon to which the move is to be taught must have maximum [[friendship]].

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews/2|CoroCoro to hold contest in promotion of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|New Dragon attack in Diamond, Pearl announced}}
* In December 2005, prior to the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[CoroCoro]] Comics January ran a contest where fans could name the strongest Dragon-type move.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051206010318/http://www.corocoro.tv/html/yokoku/index.html CoroCoro.tv (archive)]</ref> Draco Meteor was the move that won this contest.<ref>[https://archive.today/E4Y6w Pokeani (archive)]</ref>
* Its Japanese name, りゅうせいぐん ''Ryūseigun'' (Meteor Shower), contains りゅう ''ryū'' (dragon), which is likely a play on its {{t|Dragon}} typing.
* Draco Meteor has the same power, accuracy and PP as the {{type|Fire}} {{m|Overheat}}, and these two moves are considered to be counterparts. They also reduce the user's Special Attack by two stages.

'''Overheat''' (Japanese: '''オーバーヒート''' ''Overheat'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It has been [[TM50]] since Generation III.

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Overheat deals damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages. Overheat makes [[contact]] with the target in this generation.

Overheat can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra six appeal points if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generations IV and V===
Overheat no longer makes [[contact]] with the target.

===Generation VI onwards===
Overheat's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Overheat damages all enemy Pokémon within one tile of the user and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}}. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Overheat's description erroneously states that it lowers the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} instead of Special Attack. This error is not present in the TM description of Overheat.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Overheat appears as one of {{p|Chandelure}}'s Pokémon moves. Chandelure glows red and charges up, gaining armor against a variety of attacks until it releases a fiery tornado. After the attack, Chandelure falls over and has its Attack and Speed lowered, referencing the Special Attack reduction of the original move. If used again with lowered stats, it deals significantly less damage, while when used in a positive state, it deals significantly more damage while also removing the buffs Chandelure had.

==Trivia==
* Overheat has the same descriptions as its former {{type|Psychic}} counterpart, {{m|Psycho Boost}}.
* Overheat has the same power, accuracy and PP as the {{type|Dragon}} {{m|Draco Meteor}}, so Overheat is considered to be the {{type|Fire}} counterpart of {{m|Draco Meteor}}, and both moves also decrease the user's Special Attack by two stages.

'''Overheat''' (Japanese: '''オーバーヒート''' ''Overheat'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It has been [[TM50]] since Generation III.

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Overheat deals damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages. Overheat makes [[contact]] with the target in this generation.

Overheat can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra six appeal points if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generations IV and V===
Overheat no longer makes [[contact]] with the target.

===Generation VI onwards===
Overheat's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Overheat damages all enemy Pokémon within one tile of the user and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}}. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Overheat's description erroneously states that it lowers the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} instead of Special Attack. This error is not present in the TM description of Overheat.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Overheat appears as one of {{p|Chandelure}}'s Pokémon moves. Chandelure glows red and charges up, gaining armor against a variety of attacks until it releases a fiery tornado. After the attack, Chandelure falls over and has its Attack and Speed lowered, referencing the Special Attack reduction of the original move. If used again with lowered stats, it deals significantly less damage, while when used in a positive state, it deals significantly more damage while also removing the buffs Chandelure had.

==Trivia==
* Overheat has the same descriptions as its former {{type|Psychic}} counterpart, {{m|Psycho Boost}}.
* Overheat has the same power, accuracy and PP as the {{type|Dragon}} {{m|Draco Meteor}}, so Overheat is considered to be the {{type|Fire}} counterpart of {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

'''Overheat''' (Japanese: '''オーバーヒート''' ''Overheat'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It has been [[TM50]] since Generation III.

==Effect==
===Generation III===
Overheat deals damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages. Overheat makes [[contact]] with the target in this generation.

Overheat can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra six appeal points if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generations IV and V===
Overheat no longer makes [[contact]] with the target.

===Generation VI onwards===
Overheat's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Overheat damages all enemy Pokémon within one tile of the user and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}}. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Overheat's description erroneously states that it lowers the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} instead of Special Attack. This error is not present in the TM description of Overheat.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
Overheat appears as one of {{p|Chandelure}}'s Pokémon moves. Chandelure glows red and charges up, gaining armor against a variety of attacks until it releases a fiery tornado. After the attack, Chandelure falls over and has its Attack and Speed lowered, referencing the Special Attack reduction of the original move. If used again with lowered stats, it deals significantly less damage, while when used in a positive state, it deals significantly more damage while also removing the buffs Chandelure had.

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Draco Meteor can only be tutored to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Consequently, it can only be taught to {{p|Arceus}} while it is holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}, and to {{p|Silvally}} while it is holding the {{DL|Memory|Dragon Memory}}.
*In the [[Sinnoh]] region, the Tutor (grandma [[Wilma]]) can be found on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} in her house.
*In the [[Johto]] region, the Tutor is in [[Blackthorn City]].
*In the [[Unova]] region, [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} will teach this move at [[Opelucid City]].
*In the [[Kalos]] region, there is a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}} with a Tutor inside.
*In the [[Hoenn]] region{{sup/6|ORAS}}, the Tutor is an {{tc|Expert}} in [[Sootopolis City]].
*In the [[Alola]] region, the Tutor is in the Pokémon Center in [[Seafolk Village]].

Similar to {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, the Pokémon to which the move is to be taught must have maximum [[friendship]].

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews/2|CoroCoro to hold contest in promotion of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|New Dragon attack in Diamond, Pearl announced}}
* In December 2005, prior to the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[CoroCoro]] Comics January ran a contest where fans could name the strongest Dragon-type move.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051206010318/http://www.corocoro.tv/html/yokoku/index.html CoroCoro.tv (archive)]</ref> Draco Meteor was the move that won this contest.<ref>[https://archive.today/E4Y6w Pokeani (archive)]</ref>
* Its Japanese name, りゅうせいぐん ''Ryūseigun'' (Meteor Shower), contains りゅう ''ryū'' (dragon), which is likely a play on its {{t|Dragon}} typing.
*Draco Meteor and [[Overheat]] share the same power, accuracy and PP, so Draco Meteor is considered to be the Dragon-type counterpart of [[Overheat]].
