It is the final form of {{p|Togepi}}.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> Togekiss is a white, avian Pokémon with an ovoid body. While its feet are small and situated closely together, its wings are broad and triangular. Red and blue triangular markings over its underside, and it has a short tail consisting of three feathers. On the back of its head are three spikes: a red tipped on the right, a blue tipped one on the left, and a pure white one in the middle. Togekiss has a relatively flat face and small, black eyes. This Pokémon is rarely seen, only appearing in peaceful areas. When it is seen or visits respectful people, it showers gifts of blessings and kindness.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Dawn Togekiss.png|thumb|left|250px|Togekiss in the anime.]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====[[Dawn's Togekiss]]====<br /> {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} made its anime debut in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', under the ownership of [[Princess Salvia]].

I just want the best power boost for it. Like when a certain Pokemon evolves it gains like 10 or more HP for example. I evolved my Togepi into Togekiss at level 2 and its HP went up only 6 points aside from leveling up. I already got all the moves I want for it ready. So can someone help me?<br /> Plus what is the best level to give a Pokemon something like HP Up? I want my Togekiss's HP to go up the highest it can in giving it 10 HP Ups. I did it at level 2, it only went up by 1 point. So please help me, and I'm new here. I've been going to Bulbapedia for a while now.

In a stark contrast to its pre-evolution, its head is now much smaller with two yellow antennae adorning the front of it, and is now yellow with green bulging eyes with black pupils. It has a skinny yellow body, four skinny black legs with slender black feet and green rhombus-shaped wings, which appear to be layered. It also has two similar rhombus shapes at the end of its tail.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ===Special abilities===<br /> Vibrava is capable of emitting and manipulating sound waves from its wings. This ability has been tuned to the point where this Pokémon is able to induce headaches in humans. It also has the ability {{a|Levitate}}. This allows Vibrava to dodge {{type2|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Magnitude}}. Oddly enough, its physical attacking power is actually weaker than {{p|Trapinch}}'s.<br /> <br /> Being a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, Vibrava can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Upon evolution, Vibrava gains the ability of limited flight. However, its wings are not fully mature, and are ineffective at flying any significant distance. Although they are not this Pokémon's primary method of locomotion, they are their primary method of prey capture. By vibrating its wings rapidly, it produces ultrasonic waves. These waves are quite powerful, and can cause their prey to faint. Fortunately, these waves usually do not do more damage than a headache in humans.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]<br /> Vibrava live in deserts, they enjoy rocks and nearby trees if they can find any in their sandy habitat.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> Vibrava hunts by vibrating its wings at high frequency. Once its prey has fainted, it injects the prey with potent venom.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Brianna Vibrava.png|thumb|right|Vibrava in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Several once again appeared in ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]''. Dozens of {{p|Trapinch}} were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. [[Team Rocket]] made a failed attempt to steal the Antlion Pokémon despite the fact the idea {{MTR}} had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, {{Ho|Hal}} and [[Elisa]] out of the underground labyrinth.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> Vibrava first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in the form of a swarm. <br /> <br /> A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Brianna]] used a Vibrava in the battle round of the [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[Chrysanthemum Island]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''. Vibrava were also used by random coordinators in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'' and ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''.<br /> <br /> It also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|AG106|Vibrava|Ash's Pokédex|Vibrava, the Vibration Pokémon.

Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Vibrava could draw inspiration from both.

<p>Weixifan: </p> <hr /> <div>== Question on Swords Dance and Critical Hits ==<br /> So I have heard from this article that Swords Dance is ignored by critical hits, but any time I have ever critical hitted without it it has done far less damage that when I critical hit with it. Is that just myself leading to believe it is working that way or am I correct and is the article here wrong? [[User:XY|XY]] 17:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The note is for Gen. 1, just so you know.

But when he tell it to use take down later it looks exactly the same. Should I describe Victreebel's swords dance and put the take down attack down as an anime move error or what?[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 17:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Variations on a move==<br /> <br /> For the qualifications of whether or not moves are considered variations of other moves there is a slight discrepancy I have found. Acid Armor, Swords Dance, Amnesia, Acupressure, Tail Glow, Agility, Barrier, and Nasty Plot all raise a single stat by two levels (although in the case of Acupressure it is a random stat and the rest are a fixed stat). Swords Dance, Acupressure, Agility, and Barrier all are considered variations on Acid Armor, Nasty Plot and Tail Glow are both considered variations on Amnesia. The problem is the only difference between Amnesia variations and Acid Armor variations is the standard and max PP (and the stats but that is true for all of them), yet there is a difference in PP between Acid Armor and all of its variations as well. Acid Armor has 40 PP all of its variations have 30 PP and Amnesia and its variants all of 20 PP. If we are going to differentiate based on PP either the Acid Armor variants should no longer be grouped with Acid Armor, or all of the moves that raise a stat by two levels should be grouped together. Sorry if I put this in the wrong spot, it was the acid armor variant talk page with the most posts so I was hoping people would actually see it as most the posts on these pages seem to go unnoticed. ~PazuSalmon<br /> <br /> :I have exactly the same comment to make, except the actual situation of the groupings are slightly different now, but the arbitrary discrepancies are still present.

<p>Weixifan: /* Characteristics */</p> <hr /> <div>{{EggGroups}}<br /> The '''Ditto egg group''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is one of the fifteen [[egg group]]s. It is the only group which has only one member.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> As there is only one Pokémon in the Ditto egg group, Pokémon in this group are all shapeless, purple blobs. However, they have the ability to breed with every member of every other egg group but the &quot;No eggs&quot; and &quot;Ditto&quot; egg groups.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> ===Only in this egg group===<br /> {{egglist|A664BF|C59AD5}}<br /> {{Moveentrytm|132|Ditto|1|Normal|}}<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===In this and another egg group===<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Pokémon in the Ditto group can breed with any Pokémon from any egg group, excluding the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}. However, Ditto cannot breed with members of its own group, meaning that Ditto cannot be hatched from an egg.<br /> *Since this group consists of a single Pokémon, it is naturally the egg group with the lowest number of types represented, with just one.<br /> [[ja:メタモン (タマゴグループ)]]</div>

It is one of {{p|Tyrogue|Tyrogue's}} three final forms.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> ===Physiology===<br /> Hitmonlee is a human and egg-shaped Pokémon. Primarily brown, Hitmonlee has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs, with three fingers and three claw-like toes. The muscles on its legs are akin to a coiled spring, being able to freely expand and contract. These muscles are more accurate than its arms, allowing it to perform powerful knee and kick attacks. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them, and its feet have yellow coloration on their ankles and soles. It appears to lack a nose and mouth.<br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Hitmonlee possesses a considerable sense of balance, enabling him to kick in succession from any position. When kicking, the sole of his foot turns as hard as a diamond on impact. Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. Hitmonlee also has a few mental-based moves such as {{m|Meditate}} and {{m|Mind Reader}}. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few {{type2|Rock}} moves and {{m|Earthquake}}.<br /> <br /> Hitmonlee is one of [[Signature move|very few Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, and is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Mega Kick}} via [[level]]-up.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> When in a hurry, his legs lengthen progressively. He can run smoothly with long, loping strides. After battle, he rubs down its legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]<br /> Hitmonlee have become domesticated, and therefore live around large cities. They are first documented in [[Kanto]].<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Hitmonlee anime.png|right|thumb|Hitmonlee in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. [[Team Rocket]] stole him from a man named Giant in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]]. <br /> <br /> A Hitmonlee appeared in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Barry}}. Despite being able to cause a lot of damage to [[Paul's Ursaring]], it was eventually defeated after inadvertently triggering Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> A Hitmonlee appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' as one of the [[Yas Gym]]'s Pokémon.<br /> <br /> A Hitmonlee owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon owned by that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

Gilbert's Hitmonlee lost to [[Ash's Pikachu]].<br /> <br /> [[Master Hamm]] used a Hitmonlee against his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], a cook, in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. If the Dojo Master won, he would retire, and Kyle would have to give up his shop for the Dojo. If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. {{Ash}}, and {{an|May}} ended up taking the place of the two. As it was a draw, Kyle and his father decided to both work at the restaurant while Kyle's girlfriend [[Terri]] took up ownership of the Dojo.<br /> <br /> A Hitmonlee appeared in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Daniel}}.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Johto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP166|Hitmonlee|Ash's Pokédex|Hitmonlee, the Kicking Pokémon.

Anne]].<br /> <br /> Hitmonlee later appears as one of [[Bruno]]'s Pokémon, who destroyed [[Bill]]'s house. Bruno explains that Hitmonlee's legs are so flexible, it's impossible to locate the position of its knees and attack them.<br /> <br /> Hitmonlee was also seen as one of [[Chuck]]'s Pokémon. In the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff of {{PAV|13}}, it used {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Reversal}} to turn {{adv|Blue}}'s tactics against him.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Gold &amp; Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br /> In [[Pokémon Gold &amp; Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} borrows a Hitmonlee to use in a tournament in ''[[GB09|Let's Use Fighting Type Pokémon!!]]''.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Hitmonlee (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===<br /> When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Hitmonlee will preform a {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} dealing a great amount of damage on whoever it hit.

Hitmonlee bears resemblance to {{wp|Blemmyes (legendary creatures)|Blemmyes}} due to his lack of an actual head. The overall shape of his body also resembles a human foot. He may also represent {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into &quot;hit&quot;, &quot;monster&quot; and &quot;Lee&quot;—as in {{wp|Bruce Lee}}; perhaps meaning &quot;the monster that hits like Bruce Lee&quot;. The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]]. His Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {| align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 3px solid #{{fighting color}}; background: #{{fighting color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| style=&quot;{{roundy}}&quot; style=&quot;background: #{{fighting color light}};&quot;<br /> |- align=center<br /> ! style=&quot;{{roundytl}}&quot; | Language<br /> !

Gastly has big, white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it. Gastly's face is similar to {{p|Cloyster}}'s, but the two Pokémon aren't related.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Due to having a body made of gas, Gastly can slip into any place it wants. However, Gastly's body will dwindle away when exposed to a strong wind (but it can probably regenerate itself later). A Gastly is capable of toppling an {{wp|Indian Elephant}} within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas.<br /> <br /> Despite Gastly's evolutionary level, it is quite powerful at using special attacks such as {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Energy Ball}}. Gastly can learn quite a few moves with all sorts of disruptive effects such as {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Taunt}}, and {{m|Embargo}}.<br /> <br /> There have been claims that on rare occasions, a Gastly can gain the ability to speak like a human and {{m|transform}} itself. However, it apparently can communicate with telepathy.<br /> <br /> Gastly can learn and use the elemental punches, despite appearing to have no hands.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> As a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it. They are also proficient at sneaking up on unsuspecting prey and {{m|Hypnosis|putting it to sleep}} or poisoning it through its skin. As Gastly's body is blown away by wind, groups of them shall gather under the eaves of houses to prevent being blown away.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]<br /> Gastly live in old, dilapidated buildings and can also be found at cemeteries. It is a common sight in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> As the victims of Gastly's gas enveloping technique have been called prey, it can be presumed that it derives energy from them. It may also {{m|lick}} its prey.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:TheGhostofMaidensPeak.gif|thumb|right|Gastly in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Gastly first appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. This Gastly had the ability to talk and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after many years of waiting for her love to return to her. Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.<br /> <br /> The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} went to [[Lavender Town]] in search of a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating [[Sabrina]].<br /> <br /> An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Gastly in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-volts]]''. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch &amp; Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}}.<br /> <br /> [[Morty]] used a Gastly to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''.<br /> <br /> A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{T|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP020|Gastly|Ash's Pokédex|Gastly, a Ghost Pokémon.

In the process, the two also freed Red's rival {{adv|Blue}}, who was under its ghostly possession.<br /> <br /> Gastly also forms as part of the {{type2|Ghost}} army [[Agatha]] sends out to attack the [[Gym Leader]]s. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.<br /> <br /> The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.<br /> <br /> Many Gastly also appear in the {{adv|Diamond &amp; Pearl chapter}} when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Gateau]].<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Gastly (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===NPC appearances===<br /> * {{g|Pinball}}: Three Gastly appear in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table.

Therefore, they must be the only ones that are invisible normally while in the wild; even then, they can only be seen in their native region of [[Kanto]].<br /> * Gastly is misspelled G''h''astly in the Pokémon Adventures manga.<br /> * Gastly's shiny Emerald sprite is showing both blue and purple gas around Gastly in animation. This is most likely a coloring edit, as shiny Gastly's Crystal sprites, as well as all subsequent sprites, show only blue gas.<br /> * Gastly's Red, Blue, and Green sprites show it without its spherical &quot;body&quot;. This has been fixed in Yellow and subsequent games.<br /> ===Origin===<br /> Gastly seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits, or maybe a {{wp|will o' the wisp}}. It may also have based on the Japanese {{wp|youkai}} sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. <br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Gastly's name origin may be a combination of ''{{wp|gas}}'' and ''ghastly'', dreadfully frightening or horrible. Its Japanese name ''Ghos'' (ゴース) is simply a shortened form of ''{{wp|ghost}}'' and may also incorporate ''gas'' into its name. <br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {| align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 3px solid #{{poison color}}; background: #{{ghost color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| style=&quot;{{roundy}}&quot; style=&quot;background: #{{ghost color light}};&quot;<br /> |- align=center<br /> ! style=&quot;{{roundytl}}&quot; | Language<br /> !

Its fur is very short, and it is pale yellow in color. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bears some resemblance to the large lightning-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its cheeks, which are pinkish colored and used for storing electricity. Its nose is extremely small, almost like a dot.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> Pichu normally have no gender differences; however, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], which is female, has a spiked ear.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks, charging itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. However, since Pichu is only a {{pkmn2|baby}}, it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity unintentionally. Fortunately, it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.<br /> <br /> Pichu, and its evolution family, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon. Like its evolutions, it is capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity, as they are not fully mature; however, they become better at holding power as they grow older. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails with each other, creating a shower of sparks.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> Pichu primarily live in forests like their evolution, Pikachu, although they have also been depicted to thrive in urban areas.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Pichu appear to be particularly fond of {{wp|apple}}s.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====[[Pichu Brothers]]====<br /> [[File:Pichu Brothers.png|250px|right|thumb|[[Pichu Brothers|Pichu]] in the anime]]<br /> The Pichu Brothers are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including ''[[PK07|Pikachu &amp; Pichu]]'', ''[[PK12|Camp Pikachu]]'', several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Their design is similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], in that one has a scruff of fur while the other does not.<br /> <br /> ====[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]====<br /> A Pichu with a spiked ear, known as Spiky-eared Pichu, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for the jail cell that held {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Damos]]. She and a [[Shiny Pokémon|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] star in [[Get Fired up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|the fourth ending]] to the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}.<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> Pichu also appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from {{an|Charmaine}}'s apple orchard.<br /> <br /> A Pichu had a role in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.<br /> <br /> Another Pichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' under the ownership of [[Sho]].<br /> <br /> Ukulele Pichu appeared in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] [[SS022|Anime Special]], and was captured by {{ra|Ben}} in the [[SS023|concluding part]].<br /> <br /> A Pichu appeared in ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'' with several other baby Pokémon. It was badly poisoned by a {{p|Tentacruel}}, but was healed by a {{m|Softboiled}} from [[Brock's Chansey]].<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> A Pichu was used in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''<br /> <br /> Three Pichu appear in ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]''.<br /> <br /> A Pichu appeared on a girl's shoulder briefly in &quot;[[M04|Celebi, Voice of the Forest]]&quot; in a window during Ash's battle at the beginning of the movie.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Johto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP179|Pichu|Ash's Pokédex|Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. A [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolved]] form of {{p|Pikachu}}. Despite their size, Pichu release {{m|ThunderShock|bursts of electricity}} that can shock even humans. However, Pichu are unskilled at controlling their electricity, and sometimes release it by accident when surprised, or when laughing and shock themselves.}}<br /> {{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Gold Pichu Golden Boys.png|thumb|right|{{GnB|Gold}}'s Pichu in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]<br /> ===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br /> In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], it is revealed in ''[[PPP53|The Accidental Treasure]]'' that {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and {{MPJ|Clefairy}} met as [[baby Pokémon]], Pichu and {{p|Cleffa}}.<br /> <br /> Also, in ''[[PPPB19|The Miraculous Color of the Sky ~Best Friends~]]'', [[Sandy]] and [[Sandy's Raichu|her Raichu]] are reincarnated as a little girl and a Pichu.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> {{adv|Gold}}, in his desperation, protected an egg containing the offspring of {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] from the [[Masked Man]]. Soon thereafter, Gold's own talent as the &quot;hatcher&quot; allowed a powerful [[Gold (Adventures)#Pichu|Pichu]] to hatch, with which he was able to defeat the villain and free {{p|Celebi}} from the [[GS Ball]] using {{p|Raikou}}'s massive electrical power. It also returned with its parents to help destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s giant {{p|Kyogre}} monster with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br /> In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} receives a [[Pokémon egg]] from the [[Day Care couple]] in ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]''. It hatches into Pichu in ''[[GB16|The New Pokémon Is Hatched!!]]'', becoming one of Gold's party members.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Pichu (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===<br /> Pichu is a playable character. It can be unlocked by beating event 37 (Legendary Pokémon) or playing 200 matches in VS. mode. As it is very light and electric attacks do damage to itself as well as others, Pichu is considered to be a handicap character. It is often considered to be the weakest character in the game, though its attacks are slightly more powerful than Pikachu's.<br /> <br /> {{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Agility|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====Trophy information====<br /> =====Classic Mode=====<br /> A Tiny Mouse Pokémon identifiable by its big ears, Pichu evolves into {{p|Pikachu}}. It's not very skilled at storing up electrical energy and will sometimes discharge it if jarred. Although it's small, it has enough electrical power to give even an adult quite a shock. It's often startled by its own power.<br /> <br /> =====Adventure Mode=====<br /> Compared with Pikachu, Pichu is a tad more nimble and a little more difficult to hit. Those are the only two advantages, however, and since Pichu damages itself when it uses electrical attacks, it's best suited for handicapped matches. Even though Pichu's tough to catch, it's easy to throw its tiny frame great distances.<br /> <br /> =====All-Star Mode=====<br /> Pichu is the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and it's top of the class in weakness, too! For Pichu, it's all about scampering here and there to pick up items that will help it survive. The first warp in Agility causes 1 point of damage to Pichu, and the second causes 3, so try to limit the number of times you use the move.<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br /> The sequel downgraded Pichu to just appearing as a trophy. In order to obtain it, one must complete All-Star mode without using a continue.<br /> <br /> ====Trophy information====<br /> A Tiny Mouse Pokémon. Because its electric cheek pouches are still small, it cannot store electricity yet. Pichu has been known to flaunt its courage by touching tails with others and setting off sparks. It is easier for Pichu to build up electricity when the humidity is lower. Pichu will evolve into Pikachu.<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===NPC appearances===<br /> [[File:Shiny Pichu HGSS event.png|[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]]|thumb|right]]<br /> *[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pichu stars in the mini-game &quot;Pichu's Powerplant.&quot; Similar to {{p|Pikachu}}'s and {{p|Voltorb}}'s mini-game, &quot;Thundering Dynamo&quot;, in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the player has to be the first to charge up the most electrical power in order to win.<br /> *[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]]: Pichu will assist Pikachu on Ball-Saver duty for 50 coins or as a prize in the slot machine.<br /> *{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}: The [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] will appear at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] if the player approaches it with the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] first in the party. (The event will still activate if the Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves.) She will be automatically caught, and cannot be traded outside of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} or evolve.<br /> *[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Ukulele Pichu is the player's partner. This Pichu plays the {{wp|ukulele}} and has a special musical [[Poké Assist]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex<br /> |type=electric<br /> |gen=2<br /> |golddex=It is not yet skilled at storing electricity.

Melee]] (although many others have appeared from [[Poké Ball]]s). Like in the anime, it hurts itself when using electrical attacks. <br /> * Pichu is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 205 that is not based on a cocoon. <br /> * Together with {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Magikarp}}, Pichu is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.<br /> * Due to it being distributed via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] for European and North American games, the Pikachu-colored Pichu, a {{shiny}} Pichu, was the first Pokémon to be given out over Wi-Fi Connection outside Japan.<br /> **{{p|Jirachi}} has this honor for the Japanese games, as well as overall. <br /> * Despite being able to learn {{m|ThunderPunch}} through breeding, it can't learn it via [[move tutor]].<br /> * Pichu is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] to be a pre-evolution of a Pokémon from a [[Generation I|previous generation]].<br /> * According to the Ruby Version Pokédex entry, one may hear the crackling of static electricity coming off Pichu; however, this is a somewhat dubious claim as, presumably, for the static to be audible it would have to hold more electricity than it most likely seems able to.<br /> * While media suggests that Pichu can't store electricity, Pichu can oddly learn and use the move {{m|Charge}} with absolutely no repercussions.<br /> *Pichu is the first (and so far, only) non-legendary Pokémon to have in-game events when its downloaded through [[Mystery Gift]].<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> Pichu draws inspiration from {{wp|mice}}, {{wp|squirrel}}s, and various other {{wp|rodent}}s.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Pichu's name is a shortening of the name ''{{p|Pikachu}}'' to indicate that it is less than Pikachu.

It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> ===Physiology===<br /> Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end. Unlike Pikachu however, it does not have fingers.<br /> <br /> Raichu is yellow-brownish in color, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan colored. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. The electric sacs on its cheeks are yellow.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Although quite small in comparison to many other Pokémon, Raichu is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity in its body. If Raichu’s electricity sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take a slight glow in the dark. Raichu is also capable of wielding various fighting moves, such as {{M|Focus Punch}}, {{M|Brick Break}} and many more. Now that Raichu is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using powerful moves like {{M|Hyper Beam}} and {{M|Giga Impact}}.<br /> <br /> Raichu, and its [[evolution]] family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Pikachu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Raichu is much more aggressive than {{p|Pikachu}}, especially if it has stored too much electricity in its body. It needs to discharge this electricity through its tail into the ground, leading to scorched patches of earth near its nest. However, Raichu can sometimes be timid Pokémon, using {{m|Dig}} to hide or zapping people from fear, especially if it thinks its trainer is scared of it, as shown in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.<br /> <br /> It will constantly electrify objects, people, and Pokémon until its electricity level is back to normal. When searching for electricity, Raichu will raise its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere or plant its tail in the ground.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands. It shares its range with that of {{p|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> Much like Pikachu, it's likely that it feeds on nuts, seeds and berries.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Volkner Raichu.png|thumb|235px|right|Raichu in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', along with {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Cubone}}.<br /> <br /> Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the &quot;Miracle Crystal&quot; that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.<br /> <br /> ====[[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]====<br /> [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a Raichu that defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] with its sheer power in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After discussing evolution with Pikachu to match Raichu's power, Ash used a strategy relying on Pikachu's speed to defeat Raichu the next day.<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named {{ka|Katrina}} decided to use her Raichu in the film &quot;Pokémon in Love.&quot;<br /> <br /> ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured &quot;talking&quot; Pokémon. [[Kay]]'s Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright. <br /> <br /> A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]'', It evolved from the restaurant owners' missing Pikachu.<br /> <br /> Another Raichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', owned by [[Sho]]. It battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in that episode.<br /> <br /> The [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] has a very skittish Raichu for its students. It appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' where it was trained by {{Ash}}.<br /> <br /> Another Raichu appeared in ''[[DP149|Sticking With Who You Know!]]'', falling in love with a {{p|Squirtle}}.<br /> <br /> Another Raichu appeared in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' and ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'' under the ownership of [[Volkner]].<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> A Raichu appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' during the evolution party in [[Stone Town]].<br /> <br /> A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.<br /> <br /> Raichu is one of the Pokémon that were affected by the crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP014|Raichu|Ash's Pokédex|Raichu, a Mouse Pokémon of the {{t|Electric}} element.

In the chapter, the ghost of a Trainer named [[Sandy]] wishes to be reunited with her old friend Raichu.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which was first seen in [[Silph Co.]] but never participated in battles until fighting the [[Masked Man]] in his [[Mahogany Town#Places of Interest|Mahogany Hideout]], where it helped Surge break in and seemingly backed the mastermind into a corner, until his {{p|Houndour}} called upon dozens of wild Houndour to thwart Surge, instead. The former [[Team Rocket]] triad member barely escaped with his life after having many of his {{p|Electrode}} self-destruct.<br /> <br /> ====Pokédex entries====<br /> {{Mangadexheader}}<br /> {{Mangadexbody|Pokémon Adventures|[[PS139]]|When the electricity accumulated in Raichu's cheeks reach a maximum, its ears will become pointed.{{tt|*|Chuang Yi's translation}}}}<br /> {{Mangadexfooter}}<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br /> {{Zensho|Satoshi}} had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Raichu (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TFG==<br /> One Raichu figure has been released.<br /> <br /> *{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Raichu|19}}<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex<br /> |gen=1<br /> |type=electric<br /> |redbluedex=Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.<br /> |yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty.

If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated.<br /> ** This in turn was also the major reason that Marill was dubbed &quot;Pikablu&quot; by fans. Marill was one of the first Pokémon shown from pre-release screenshots of Pokémon Gold and Silver and due to its striking similarity to the Pikachu family (and the fact that they could learn Surf) lead many to believe that Raichu would evolve into a &quot;Pikablu&quot;.<br /> *Raichu's FireRed Pokédex entry references an early documentary film by {{wp|Thomas Edison}}.<br /> *Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts.

I'm not sure but I think the original pic was Lt. Surge's Raichu. It was then replaced by Ash's Summer School Raichu. I then put Lt. Surge's Raichu to be along with the Ash's Summer School, making 2 pics in the anime section. Someone(I don't remember who it was.) replaced Ash's Summer School Raichu, leaving by Lt.

Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, red cheeks that can produce small jolts of electricity, a mouth that looks like a sideways three, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Emolga}} due to notable physical similarities.<br /> <br /> Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> A female Pikachu has a v-shaped &quot;dent&quot; at the end of its tail. Male Pikachu do not have this dent. However, both genders' tails resemble a lightning bolt, fitting their Electric typing. In Black and White, male Pikachu have less black covering their ear, this is only shown in frontal sprites. Also female Pikachu have slightly longer ears, this is also only shown in frontal sprites.<br /> <br /> ===Special abilities===<br /> Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.<br /> <br /> As Pikachu builds up energy in its electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electromagnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.<br /> <br /> Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to {{m|Rain Dance|manipulate}} {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu also have their own signature held item - the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}. This item boosts a Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack stat, and, when held by a Pikachu in the daycare center, causes the offspring to know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.<br /> <br /> Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.<br /> <br /> As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region (specifically, the [[Viridian Forest]]), although they have been introduced to many other regions. Pikachu are also found in or near the [[Power Plant|Kanto Power Plant]].<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Living in forested areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time. They especially like [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]], which wild Pikachu are often seen holding.<br /> <br /> As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most &quot;human&quot; foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup. Pikachu is also occasionally seen eating apples.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====Ash's Pikachu====<br /> {{main|Ash's Pikachu}}<br /> [[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in its [[Poké Ball]].<br /> <br /> Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.<br /> <br /> A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br /> <br /> ====Sparky, Ritchie's Pikachu====<br /> {{main|Sparky}}<br /> [[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.<br /> <br /> ====Ashachu====<br /> {{main|Ashachu}}<br /> Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.<br /> <br /> At least twenty other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.<br /> <br /> Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.<br /> <br /> A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.<br /> <br /> A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.<br /> <br /> [[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.<br /> <br /> A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|DP002|Pikachu|Dawn's Pokédex|Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon.

He is the first Pokémon befriended by [[Hazel]], appearing for the first time in ''[[PPP01|How Do You Do, Pikachu?]]''. Pikachu is one of the few Pokémon in Magical Pokémon Journey that cannot speak human language, although the others seem to understand him. He is described as rather scatterbrained at times. Pikachu returns as a main character in [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]], the sequel to the Magical Pokémon Journey series.<br /> <br /> [[Ash's Pikachu]] also makes a cameo appearance in bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> {{main|Pika}}<br /> {{main|Chuchu}}<br /> Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed &quot;Pika,&quot; became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him.<br /> <br /> In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, &amp; Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own, that she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.<br /> <br /> Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In [[Pokémon Adventures volume 13|Volume 13]], after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were &quot;put together.&quot; The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.<br /> <br /> Wild Pikachu also appeared in the {{chap|Ruby &amp; Sapphire|RS}} and {{chap|Diamond &amp; Pearl|DP}} chapters.<br /> <br /> ====Pokédex entries====<br /> {{Mangadexheader}}<br /> {{Mangadexbody|Pokémon Adventures|[[PS004]]|When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms.

It was the first Pokémon that [[Isamu Akai]] captured on his own.<br /> <br /> Pikachu is one of the few Pokémon in the manga that cannot speak human language. He is the cousin of [[Isamu Akai's Clefairy]] and is considered the smarter of the two.<br /> <br /> Pikachu evolved into {{p|Raichu}} in ''[[PM023|Clefairy finally evolves?!]]'', but he has since devolved back to the Pikachu stage.<br /> <br /> ===In Pokémon Newspaper Strip===<br /> [[Ash's Pikachu]] was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br /> {{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> [[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|left|thumb|First Pikachu card; illustation by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]<br /> {{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}<br /> Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.<br /> <br /> The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.<br /> <br /> In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.<br /> <br /> ==In the TFG==<br /> One Pikachu figure has been released.<br /> * {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Pikachu|18}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===<br /> {{sbw|Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu}} is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].<br /> <br /> In the hands of a skilled player, {{sbw|Pikachu}} is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.<br /> <br /> {{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===<br /> {{sbw|Pikachu (SSBM)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].<br /> <br /> While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.<br /> <br /> [[File:SSBB Pikachu.png|250px||thumb|Pikachu in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]<br /> <br /> {{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====Trophy information====<br /> =====Classic Mode=====<br /> It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.<br /> <br /> =====Adventure Mode=====<br /> While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.<br /> <br /> =====All-Star Mode=====<br /> The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br /> [[File:Pikachu Brawl.png|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]<br /> {{sbw|Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its [[Final Smash]] move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.<br /> <br /> {{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====Subspace Emissary====<br /> Pikachu is first seen in the &quot;{{sbw|Research Facility}}&quot; stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{met|Samus Aran}} (seen as {{sbw|Zero Suit Samus}}), the protagonist of the ''{{met|Metroid (series)|Metroid'' series}}, saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{sbw|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. After its rescue, Pikachu can be used for the rest of the story. Samus's suit is soon recovered, but they are confronted by Samus's nemesis, {{met|Ridley}}, who grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor, zapping Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack, which causes him to release Samus. The angry Space Pirate leader fights the two heroes and loses, though he later comes back as &quot;{{met|Meta Ridley}}&quot;.<br /> <br /> ====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on {{sbw|Shadow Moses Island}})====<br /> [[File:SSBB Volt Tackle.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu using Volt Tackle in Brawl]]<br /> * '''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''&quot;Ooh!

<p>Weixifan: /* Obtainability via Dream World */</p> <hr /> <div>==Pika Pika ==<br /> <br /> Dude, Pikachu looks *nothing* like a pika. Seriously. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}<br /> <br /> <br /> It does in pictures I saw in National Geographic...[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:46, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Not in any pictures I've ever seen. Pikas look more like nutrias to me. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}<br /> <br /> I don't now what nutrias are, but I ''do'' know that Pikachu looks like a rabbit. {{unsigned|Pokencyclopedia}}<br /> <br /> Regarding the name origin, I've been told that pikapika is an &quot;expression for the brightness of gold&quot;, not simply just meaning sparkle. Can someone confirm? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 13:26, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out). I suppose it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say &quot;gold shines&quot; using ''pikapika''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]&lt;/sub&gt; 14:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ''pikapika-no ichinensei''. Gah, I never wanted to hear that again. One company uses that almost like a motto in every one of their rather annoying ads. They're probably in some of the old encodes I did. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 01:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) <br /> <br /> Is there any ''official'' source that states that its name comes from pikapika and not from the pika?

As stated, Japanese has pikapika (sparkle) + chuchu (squeak). PLUS Pika (animal related to rabbit) and chu being homophonous to the English word &quot;chew&quot;, like gnaw, as a rodent does. ^^ Official evidence or no, you have to admit it'd be some coincidence if the world's most popular Pokémon just happened to be the only one with such a perfectly suited name, neh? :3 [[User:Heart of Thorns|Heart of Thorns]] 23:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Pika (the animal) is pronounced &quot;pai-kuh&quot;, not &quot;pee-kuh&quot;.

In GSC, Pikachu was only on Route 2 in Kanto, in RSE, it was only in the Safari Zone, which contained only &quot;imported&quot; Pokemon (that is, no Generation III Pokemon), and in DP, it's only in the Trophy Garden, a place that's basically confirmed to be importing Pokemon from other regions.<br /> <br /> These &quot;coincidences&quot; lead me to believe that Pikachu is native to the Kanto Region, and its appearance everywhere else is due to humans bringing them to other locals.<br /> <br /> Ignoring anamonlies like Pokemon Ranger, would it be a stretch to say that Pikachu are normally found only in Kanto as a piece of Trivia?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 19:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)<br /> :What is your reason for ignoring Fiore? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] &lt;sup&gt;[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]]&lt;/sup&gt; 18:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)<br /> ::I'd think it's Kanto-native, too, but yeah, Fiore brings up a problem.

Ranger also has Wild Starter Pokemon, Wild Fossils, and other anomolies, so I didn't include it.

<p>Weixifan: </p> <hr /> <div>==Pika Pika ==<br /> <br /> Dude, Pikachu looks *nothing* like a pika. Seriously. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}<br /> <br /> <br /> It does in pictures I saw in National Geographic...[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:46, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Not in any pictures I've ever seen.

Can someone confirm? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 13:26, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out). I suppose it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say &quot;gold shines&quot; using ''pikapika''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]&lt;/sub&gt; 14:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ''pikapika-no ichinensei''.

<p>Weixifan: </p> <hr /> <div>==Pika Pika ==<br /> <br /> Dude, Pikachu looks *nothing* like a pika. Seriously. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}<br /> <br /> <br /> It does in pictures I saw in National Geographic...[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:46, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Not in any pictures I've ever seen. Pikas look more like nutrias to me. {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}<br /> <br /> I don't now what nutrias are, but I ''do'' know that Pikachu looks like a rabbit. {{unsigned|Pokencyclopedia}}<br /> <br /> Regarding the name origin, I've been told that pikapika is an &quot;expression for the brightness of gold&quot;, not simply just meaning sparkle. Can someone confirm? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 13:26, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out). I suppose it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say &quot;gold shines&quot; using ''pikapika''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]&lt;sub&gt;[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]&lt;/sub&gt; 14:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ''pikapika-no ichinensei''.

The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the {{player}}'s starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> At the start, the player sees a [[television|newscast]] about a sighting of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. The player then heads to his or her {{ga|Barry|best friend}}'s house and goes to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, two wild {{p|Starly}} attack. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{type2|Flying}}s. As is always the case, the player's best friend, who becomes the rival, takes the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character of the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]], and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon chosen at the lake to keep and a [[Pokédex]]. This sets one of the primary aims of the game, completing the Pokédex. The player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]] and become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Sinnoh.<br /> <br /> During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version), summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and negate the power flow, and the player must catch or defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]].<br /> <br /> After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the PokéRadar, exploration of previously unaccessible places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area|Resort Areas]] and the perfection of battle skills in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br /> <br /> ==Blurb==<br /> ===Game box blurb===<br /> &quot;Welcome to the next [[Generation IV|generation]] of Pokémon!&quot; As a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]], you will need to catch, train and battle Pokémon on your journey to become the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. You will face many challenges along the way, as you search for the Pokémon that rules time or space in Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version. Discover more than 100 new Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Meet goals and earn the ability to import Pokémon from your GBA [[version]]s! Battle and trade with your friends around the world using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]!<br /> <br /> ===Game manual blurb===<br /> &quot;Your Adventure begins&quot; In this world live creatures called Pokémon. Humans and Pokémon have lived, worked, and played together in harmony for ages. Nevertheless, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding them. In order to find out more about these creatures, many scientists-such as Professor Rowan of Sandgem Town-have dedicated their lives to Pokémon research. <br /> <br /> One day, in search of a rare Pokémon, you and your friend take a hike around the lake close to your town. While looking around the lakeside, you see two strangers talking about Pokémon. After they leave, you realize that they left a briefcase behind. You and your talk about what to do with the briefcase. <br /> <br /> In Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, you can choose from either a boy or girl. No matter which one you choose, there is no difference in the story. However, it is recommended that you choose a character with the same gender as you. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl uses the clock feature of the DS system. Please do not change the DS system you are using or change the time setting of your DS system. This will affect your adventure such as how Berries grow in the game.<br /> ==Connectivity==<br /> [[{{ns:6}}:Pokémon Pearl.jpg|right|thumb|North American Pokémon Pearl DS card]]<br /> <br /> * Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing the first 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon. There is also a feature where if there is a certain Pokémon cartridge in the GBA slot, a certain Pokémon will appear in a certain area. An example is when {{game|FireRed}} is in the GBA slot, wild {{p|Arbok}} will appear in the [[Great Marsh]] area in [[Pastoria City]]. <br /> * Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per 24-hour period per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of {{rt|221|Sinnoh}} before transferring from another GBA game.<br /> ** However there is a [[Pal Park Glitch|way]] to bypass this restriction.<br /> * Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred; therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.<br /> * The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent. <br /> * While a GBA game is in the DS, [[dual-slot mode]] activates and it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.<br /> * The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using &quot;voice chat&quot; online.<br /> * Diamond and Pearl feature wireless connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] and their respective battle arena games.<br /> * Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]].<br /> * Diamond and Pearl feature connectivity to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. By completing a special mission in Ranger, an [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.<br /> * Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. By completing three special missions in the game, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|egg}}, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}} can be sent from the game to Diamond or Pearl.<br /> * Diamond and Pearl also feature connection to the [[Wii|WiiWare]] title [[My Pokémon Ranch]], in which Pokémon can be raised and stored in a farm-like environment, much like [[Generation III]]'s {{g|Box Ruby &amp; Sapphire}}.<br /> <br /> ==Features==<br /> The day-night system first appearing in [[Generation II]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.<br /> <br /> A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|ThunderPunch}} is now [[physical move|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[special move|special]]. This was initially highly controversial with fans of the series, as it was considered to &quot;waste&quot; some of the Pokémon that were more powerful in [[Generation III]], like {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, though it now allows for a more versatile set of moves to be viable for these Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Though it was reported initially that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this is not the case. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.<br /> <br /> ===Contests===<br /> {{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}<br /> In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon Contests introduced in [[Generation III]], now known as Super Contests. <br /> <br /> Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with berries, berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]] are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the contest hall, instead it is done at the Poffin House, which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear.<br /> <br /> The first round of the contests themselves is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[Accessory|accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular contest will require different accessories, and higher ranks may require more to be put on the Pokémon.<br /> <br /> The second round is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers. The A, B, X, and Y buttons also work.<br /> <br /> The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main difference is that there are three judges and only four appeals, rather than one judge and five appeals. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to. In addition, Pokémon will receive bonus points for appeals regardless of the impression on the judge, and points are not added simply for raising a judge's &quot;voltage.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===New gyms===<br /> As is always the case, there are eight new [[Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).<br /> <br /> ===Elite Four===<br /> The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite trainers are [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of multiple types.<br /> <br /> ===New Pokémon===<br /> :: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''<br /> As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.<br /> <br /> The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed. <br /> <br /> {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon}} continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.<br /> <br /> 2006 was crunch time for the fourth generation.

<p>Weixifan: four generations -&gt; five generations</p> <hr /> <div>'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters''; '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) are {{numpkmn}} known species of creature that inhabit the [[Pokémon world]]. Inherent to them are several fantastic powers not demonstrated by normal animals, such as manipulation of {{t|electric}}ity and {{t|fire}}. For the most part, Pokémon are shown to exist instead of animals in their world, although animals are still found there and mentioned in several places.<br /> <br /> Many Pokémon are known to [[evolution|evolve]] from or into other Pokémon, a process that typically makes them larger and stronger, and could be seen as the equivalent to &quot;growing up&quot;. Pokémon typically know several [[move|techniques]] that they can use in {{pkmn|battle}} or elsewhere, either to defend themselves or their Trainer, or to perform a task. Most Pokémon are known [[cry|only to say their name]].<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Pokémon have been, from the very beginning, spoken of as friends and partners to the humans of the Pokémon world, used to help with various tasks from constructing buildings to exploration. Many people in the Pokémon world take Pokémon with them on a {{Pkmn| journey}} to gather [[Badge]]s and compete in the various [[Pokémon League]]s as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, using them in battles against Pokémon both owned by other Trainers and [[wild Pokémon|found in the wild]].<br /> <br /> Across the five [[generation]]s of games, Pokémon are typically found in one of three manners: encountering them in [[tall grass]], going [[fishing]] for them, or [[In-game trade|trading]] with an [[NPC]]. These are often joined by several more ways in which to encounter Pokémon, such as {{m|surf}}ing on water, {{m|headbutt}}ing trees, or using the [[Poké Radar]].<br /> <br /> ===Construction===<br /> In the games, Pokémon are no more than fragments of data, identifying certain characteristics inherent to them. As the games have progressed, more data is added to each Pokémon, typically to reference new features introduced in games of the new generation.<br /> <br /> The methodology for construction of Pokémon data changes across generations. For the different constructions, see [[Pokémon data structure in Generation I]], [[Pokémon data structure in Generation II]], [[Pokémon data structure in Generation III]], [[Pokémon data structure in Generation IV]], and [[Pokémon data structure in Generation V]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> In the anime, Pokémon are shown to be creatures with distinctively more human-like qualities than normal animals, with several even [[talking Pokémon|able to speak]]. Some Pokémon have the ability to speak the dubbing language instead of their own names, such as {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]]. <br /> <br /> The anime takes a clear stance of right and wrong on the use of Pokémon: Trainers such as {{Ash}} are shown to treat their Pokémon with respect, as partners and friends, while evil organizations like [[Team Rocket]] are shown to use Pokémon as tools, keeping them in cages -- a stark contrast to Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, who he keeps on his shoulder, rather than in a [[Poké Ball]], because of its own preference.<br /> <br /> ===History===<br /> The anime has given a more in-depth history of human interaction with Pokémon than is given by the games: [[Poké Ball]]s, for example, have not existed forever, and are in reality an apparently recent development, with one owned by a young [[Professor Oak]] being shown to be vastly different than ones used in modern times.<br /> <br /> Prior to the invention and mass-production of Poké Balls, people tended to use hollowed-out [[Apricorn]]s, native to the [[Johto]] region, to capture Pokémon, while even further back, Pokémon were not known as &quot;Pokémon&quot; at all, but as &quot;magical creatures&quot; (Japanese: 魔獣 ''majuu''). In these times, many Pokémon were apparently feared because of their powers, sometimes so great that the most powerful of these monsters [[legendary Pokémon|passed into legend]] and were often seen as {{wp|deity|deities}} in their own right.<br /> <br /> Interestingly, Ash and his friends, through their interaction with history in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', seemingly invented the term &quot;Pokémon&quot; to refer to these creatures. This, however, creates an {{wp|ontological paradox}}, as their knowledge and use of the word comes only from its wide use in their future time. What may remain true is that the term came into practice elsewhere on its own.<br /> <br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> [[Category:Pokémon meta]]</div>

They have two steel pinkish plates positioned on the top and bottom of their bodies. The plates cover most of the upper and lower hemispheres of the Forretress which are shaped with uneven grooves. This forms the outermost shell of a Forretress. A gap along the equator of their bodies exposes a second red shell beneath the outer shell. The red shell also has a smaller gap along the equator through which the eyes can be seen. Along with this, four tube-like spikes protrude out the four corners of the Forretress’s equator. With the exception of the eyes and possibly the spikes, it is unknown what Forretress look like beneath the armor.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ===Special abilities===<br /> Possibly the most frequently implemented ability of Forretress is its ability to freely move without the use of limbs. This is done by spinning, bouncing and likely rolling. It’s also possible that like many {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, it aids its movements with {{m|Magnet Rise|electromagnetic waves}}, which would also explain its ability to float in the air for quite some time.<br /> <br /> In order to use certain attacks such as {{m|Rollout}} and protect itself when in danger, it can retract its spikes and completely close its shell, essentially concealing all of the Pokémon’s vulnerabilities.<br /> <br /> When attacking, Forretress makes use of its exceptional spinning skills. It can spin to {{m|Rapid Spin|perform a basic physical attack or to defend}} against certain attacks such as {{m|Fire Spin}}. It can employ its steel shell to achieve a {{m|Gyro Ball|more powerful attack while spinning}}. It may also {{m|Spikes|release jagged pieces of its shell}} from its four tube like spikes while spinning in order to deter foes and even lay traps to protect itself.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Forretress are generally peaceful Pokémon and spend most of their time dormant; attached to trees, resting, sleeping or waiting for food. If forced to, they could actively pursue prey or change locations with their buoyant mobility. Being a fully evolved and all around powerful Pokémon, they could easily attack with vicious force if provoked or threatened.<br /> <br /> Forretress are renowned for their secrecy and sternness on concealing their entrails. They almost never open their shells and when they do it lasts for no more than a fraction of a second.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> Forretress are mostly found attached to trees in large forests as they spend little time moving around while in the wild. Their location is not restricted to forests; however, they can be found in many areas provided there are plenty of trees around.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Forretress is mainly carnivorous and will wait for prey to come close to it. When within reach, Forretress will open its shell up and devour the creature whole at such a speed that it is impossible to see inside the shell if observing. Its diet would most probably consist of smaller bugs or {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, although it’s not beyond its potential to eat anything organic that will fit in its mouth.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Brock'sForretress.jpg|thumb|210px|Brock's Forretress]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====[[Brock's Forretress]]====<br /> Brock's Pineco evolved into Forretress in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'' in order to save a bunch of Pokémon at a hot spring from [[Team Rocket]]. When [[Brock]] went to [[Hoenn]], the only Pokémon he brought with him was his Forretress.<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Johto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP259|Forretress|Ash's Pokédex|Forretress, the Bagworm Pokémon. Forretress is the evolved form of {{p|Pineco}}. Its entire body is covered in a steel hard shell.}}<br /> {{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===Pokémon Adventures===<br /> Forretress first appeared in {{PAV|9}}, where {{adv|Red}} had to fight two to pass his aptitude test to be [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]].<br /> <br /> Another Forretress was seen in {{PAV|11}}, under the ownership of [[Janine]]. She used its {{m|Spikes}} attack to lay traps for unsuspecting victims.<br /> <br /> [[Carr]] uses many Forretress to destroy the Team Rocket airship near the end of the FireRed/LeafGreen arc.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Forretress (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex<br /> |type=bug<br /> |type2=steel<br /> |gen=2<br /> |golddex=Its entire body is shielded by a steel-hard shell.

The 'biting' motion could also simply be Forretress clamping its shell on the opponent, something Forretress is known to be able to do.<br /> * {{p|Pineco}} and Forretress share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Wormadam}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.<br /> * Oddly, Forretress can learn {{m|Swift}} by breeding in [[Generation III]], but it can't learn it from the [[move tutor]]. This also happened to its pre-evolution {{p|Pineco}}.<br /> * Forretress is the first original {{t|Steel}} Pokémon in the National Pokédex order. ({{p|Magnemite}}'s evolutionary line, which precedes Forretress, wasn't Steel-type in [[Generation I]]).<br /> * In {{g|Stadium 2}}, its shell is gray rather than pink.<br /> * Forretress is one of the few Pokémon not native to Sinnoh to have its sprite changed in Platinum.<br /> * Forretress, and its pre-evolution, learn the move {{M|Selfdestruct}} sooner than any other Pokémon by level up.<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> Forretress is based on a {{wp|bagworm}}, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a {{wp|Horse chestnut}}.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Forretress's name is a combination of ''forest'' and ''fortress''. It may also contain ''turret'' referring to the nozzles on its body that it uses to launch {{m|Spikes}}. Although highly unlikely, it may be a combination of ''forêt'', French for forest, and trees, which would make it forest trees, probably referring to its habitat.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Forstellka - Possibly a portmanteau of ''Fort'' and ''Kastell'' (castle).<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Foretress<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 쏘콘 ''Ssokon''<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * [[Brock's Forretress]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | type=bug | type2=steel | prevnum=204 | nextnum=206 | prev=Pineco | next=Dunsparce }}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Forstellka]]<br /> [[es:Forretress]]<br /> [[fr:Foretress]]<br /> [[ja:フォレトス]]<br /> [[pl:Forretress]]<br /> [[pt:Forretress (pokémon)]]</div>

The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently loses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves. The skin on most of Poliwhirl’s body is moist, due to an oily fluid. However, the skin on its belly spiral feels smooth.<br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m|Surf|swim}} even better than before. The surface of Poliwhirl's body is always wet and slick with an oily fluid. Because of this greasy covering, it can easily slip and slide out of the clutches of any enemy in battle. Staring at the swirl on Poliwhirl’s belly may gradually cause drowsiness, a property that Poliwhirl puts to use when performing the move {{m|Hypnosis}}. As a {{type2|Water}}, Poliwhirl can learn Water-type moves such as {{m|Bubble}} and {{m|Water Gun}} and, using its glove-like hands, moves like {{m|DoubleSlap}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Poliwhirl is skilled at walking and thus is capable of living on land, but prefers to stay in water, where there is less danger. If it is out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist. If it hears the echoing cries from its evolution, Politoed, it shall respond by gathering from far and wide.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]<br /> Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:EP168.png|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with {{p|Poliwrath}}]]<br /> ===Major Appearances===<br /> ====[[Misty's Poliwhirl|Misty's Politoed]]====<br /> [[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'' that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].<br /> <br /> A Poliwhirl was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Minor Appearances===<br /> Poliwhirl appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.<br /> <br /> Another Poliwhirl appeared in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Johto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP151|Poliwhirl|Ash's Pokédex|Poliwhirl, the Tadpole Pokémon.

It debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of {{evostone|Water Stone}} present in the water.<br /> <br /> {{adv|Gold}}'s Poliwag ([[Poltaro]]) evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PAV|9}} when Gold and {{adv|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trade|trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Poliwhirl (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===<br /> Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.<br /> ====Trophy information====<br /> Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away.

Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.<br /> ** All spritework from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|s}} onwards feature Poliwhirl with mitten-like hands. Because of this, Poliwhirl is one of the few Pokémon to have its {{v2|Emerald}} sprite differ from the {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire|s}} one.<br /> * In [[Generation I]] sprites prior to Pokémon Yellow, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in a clockwise direction, starting from the outside. But in other sprites, it is in the counter-clockwise direction. The same goes for Poliwrath.<br /> * Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].<br /> * Poliwhirl's Speed does not improve upon evolving from Poliwag, and in fact ''worsens'' upon its evolution into either Poliwrath or Politoed.<br /> ===Origin===<br /> Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Its evolution is based on how a tadpole evolve into a frog.<br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quaputzi - From ''Kaulquappe'' (tadpole).<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tetarte - From ''têtard'' (tadpole).<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 수륙챙이 ''Suryukchaengi''<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蛙<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * {{TP|Misty|Misty's Poliwhirl|Politoed}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | prev=Poliwag | next=Poliwrath|type=water|| prevnum=060| nextnum=062}}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve using Water Stone]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve through held items]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon that evolve by trading holding King's Rock]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Quaputzi]]<br /> [[es:Poliwhirl]]<br /> [[fr:Têtarte]]<br /> [[ja:ニョロゾ]]<br /> [[pl:Poliwhirl]]<br /> [[pt:Poliwhirl (pokémon)]]</div>

Jirachi has short, stubby legs like {{P|Cleffa}} and arms that makes Jirachi look like it's wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Its short legs are most likely the reason it floats most of the time, rather than having to walk. There is a curved line on Jirachi's stomach which conceals a third eye that it rarely opens. Its two normal eyes have pale teal triangles underneath that resemble tears. Jirachi has two yellow streamers on its back. Jirachi appears to be wearing a yellow headdress that resembles a star. Three of the points have a teal-colored tag on them. Jirachi has smooth skin that apparently has the hardness of {{t|steel}}.<br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> Jirachi is a genderless species.<br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Jirachi has the ability to grant wishes.<br /> <br /> Jirachi is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Doom Desire}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Jirachi spends most of its time asleep and is only awake for seven days once every 1,000 years when a voice of purity sings to it. During this time, Jirachi has the power to grant wishes. It has a child-like personality.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]<br /> In the anime, Jirachi hibernates in [[Forina]].<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Jirachi.png|thumb|right|210px|Jirachi in the anime]]<br /> [[Jirachi (movie 6)|Jirachi's only major anime appearance]] was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. <br /> <br /> A Jirachi also had a very brief cameo in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===<br /> The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], {{adv|Emerald}} tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guile Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first. At the end of the chapter, Jirachi opened its third eye to Emerald and revived the five Pokédex holders.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Jirachi (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br /> Jirachi appears as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon in its first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. The chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 (the amount of Pokémon in the current [[National Pokédex]]). Like the other &quot;secret&quot; Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Jirachi's case, the items are stickers.<br /> <br /> =====Trophy Information=====<br /> ''A Wish Pokémon. It's said to awaken for seven days once every thousand years, with the ability to grant any wish asked of it. It is truly a Pokémon of which dreams are made. In combat it uses its wish power to attack. Its attack, Doom Desire, which causes light to rain down from the heavens to do tremendous damage, is especially powerful. ''<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===NPC appearances===<br /> * [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby &amp; Sapphire]]: While in the Ruins, one of the slot machine prizes is the chance to capture Jirachi. Jirachi will move around and must be hit three times in 30 seconds for the capture to be successful. There is only one chance per pinball game.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex<br /> |type=steel<br /> |type2=psychic<br /> |gen=3<br /> |rubydex=A legend states that Jirachi will make true any {{M|wish}} that is written on the notes attached to head when it awakens.

Each Pokémon also starred in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.<br /> **Jirachi stars in the movie in which {{p|Groudon}} made its first movie appearance, while Manaphy is the star Pokémon in a later movie in which {{p|Kyogre}} made its first movie appearance.<br /> * Jirachi's [[Generation III]] sprites show its ''true eye'' opened and blue streamers. However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its ''true eye'' is closed and its streamers are teal instead of blue.<br /> **In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky, its streamers are a light green (most noticeably in its overworld sprites rather than the headshots.)<br /> *In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it is a member of [[Team Aqua]], [[Archie]], who uses Jirachi's power to create a Kyogre monster, whereas in the anime, in the movie [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]], it is a member of [[Team Magma]], [[Butler]], who uses Jirachi's power to create a Groudon monster.<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of &quot;wishing upon a star&quot;, so that the wish will come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for &quot;to desire&quot;. It could also be from the Japanese word 幸 ''sachi,'' which means wish, happiness, or fortune. It also may have gotten its name from the Biblical term, &quot;Jireh,&quot; which means provider.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Jirachi<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Jirachi<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 지라치 ''Jirachi''&lt;!-- ''''--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Related Articles==<br /> * [[Jirachi (anime)]]<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> {| style=&quot;background: #ccf; border: 2px solid #bebed1; width: 100%; -moz-border-radius: 30px;&quot; class=&quot;expandable&quot;<br /> | &lt;center&gt;'''This article is covered by multiple navigation templates.
