'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Deoxys has four [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Normal Forme''', '''Attack Forme''', '''Defense Forme''', and '''Speed Forme'''. It can change between its forms by interacting with certain [[meteorite]]s.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Deoxys is a bipedal, alien-like, {{pkmn2|extraterrestrial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has four forms, each focused on a different stat. On its chest, there is a purple, crystalline organ, which is said to be its brain; as seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', this organ can appear in other colors, namely green. It has a light blue, oval pattern with a purple stripe running down the middle on its face; white, circular eyes set inside black, rectangular eye sockets; and three light blue dots arranged in a triangle on its back.

Deoxys is the result of a mutation of an extraterrestrial virus caused by exposure to a laser beam. It is highly intelligent and can fire off lasers from the crystalline organ on its chest. While inactive, Deoxys takes the form of a triangular stone tablet. Deoxys is said to appear where auroras are seen and causes one to appear when changing forms; in ''Destiny Deoxys'', the aurora's electromagnetic wavelengths are used to communicate with other Deoxys, and other sources of electromagnetism were shown to obscure its vision if given off in great amounts. Moreover, in the same movie, it demonstrated the ability to regenerate any part of its body that it lost during battle and to create clones of itself, a trait also depicted in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. The clones are much duller in color, lack eyes or the organ on their chest, and seem to be unable to change from Normal Forme.

Deoxys possesses a strong rivalry with {{p|Rayquaza}}, with the two often clashing with each other in space, as depicted in several media. During {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}'s [[Delta Episode]], Deoxys was coming towards the planet inside the [[Grand Meteor Delta]].

Deoxys is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psycho Boost}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
[[File:Deoxys Transforming.png|thumb|left|Deoxys transforming between all four of its forms]]
Deoxys has four forms: Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, and Speed Forme.
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:386Deoxys AG anime.png|thumb|200px|Deoxys forming [[human]]-like arms]]
</div>
;Normal Forme
In its Normal Forme, Deoxys has tapering legs with a segmented, vertical, blue stripe on the upper portion. The abdomen is black with vertical lines, while the majority of its skin is reddish-orange. The arms are capable of taking different forms, usually a pair of tentacles coiled in a double helix. One tentacle is the primary skin color, while the other is light blue. Alternately, it can morph its tentacles into more [[human]]oid arms with a red top and blue underside and a five-fingered hand. This Forme has a blunt protrusion with a single blue stripe on either side of its head and stubby tail. It is the most balanced form.

;Attack Forme
While in its Attack Forme, Deoxys's legs remain tapered. However, its blue stripes are no longer segmented and run the entire length of the leg and there is now a large spike on the knee. Two pairs of whip-like tentacles with pointed tips, one reddish-orange and one blue, replace its previous coiled, blunted tentacles. The protrusions on its head are now triangular with an additional one extending from the top of its head. Most of its reddish-orange skin has receded, revealing a striated, black chest and abdomen. Finally, its tail is now longer and more pointed. It is the most offensively powerful form and is said to possess an aggressive disposition.

;Defense Forme
Deoxys's Defense Forme has bulky, wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end with a bluish-green spot on each knee. It retains its two pairs of red and blue tentacles, but they are now flat and broad. The head has fused with its body and all protrusions are gone, causing it to resemble a helmet. The reddish-orange skin now covers the entire body, so none of its inner black portions are visible. There is now a single blue stripe on each shoulder, and its tail has disappeared. It is the most defensively capable form.

;Speed Forme
The Speed Forme of this Pokémon has a sleek black body with thin striation. The reddish-orange skin now covers only its head, hip joints, and the area around its crystal. There is now only one tentacle on each side of its body, one red and one blue. The protrusions on its head now point upward and the back of its head now forms a long spike. There is a long, thick blue stripe running down the center of this longer protrusion. More blue stripes appear on either hip joint and on its legs. It possesses the greatest agility out of the four forms.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Deoxys first appears after the completion of the main story, where {{OBP|Xatu|Red and Blue Rescue Team}} and {{p|Blastoise}} mention a new [[Meteor Cave|cave]] formed by the meteorite shards destroyed by {{p|Rayquaza}}. Upon reaching the final floor of the dungeon, an amnesiac Deoxys will fight the player, asking for the answers of the cave's origins.
*{{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Deoxys first appears while traveling space when it is nearly hit by a fleeing Mega Rayquaza, and it's surprised that even the fellow legendary Pokémon would be frightened as such. Like the other legendaries, he learns of [[Dark Matter]]'s intention to eliminate all life by sending the [[Tree of Life]] into the sun. Deoxys and Mega Rayquaza later oppose the Tree of Life's ascent from space, but when Dark Matter regenerates itself, it lets out a massive shockwave that turns all the legendary Pokémon into stone, including Deoxys and Mega Rayquaza. After Dark Matter is defeated and the petrified Pokémon are restored, Deoxys will take its residence at [[Meteorite Crater]].
{{spoilers}}
*[[Detective Pikachu Returns]]: Deoxys plays a notable role during the climax of the game, where it's revealed that the famous jewel known as the [[Aurora Drop]] is actually the crystal core of a Deoxys. Scientist [[Charles Merloch]] restores Deoxys's body and fuses his mind with it, becoming one with Deoxys. He fights {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}, until {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} undoes the fusion, reducing Deoxys to nothing but a crystal core once more and returning Merloch's mind to his body.

===Form data===
Deoxys has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]]s it could learn differed depending on its form.

In [[Generation III]], Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will always be in Normal Forme in the {{pkmn2|wild}}). Its form can only be changed by [[Trade|trading]] it to a different game. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it will be in its Normal Forme. In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in its Attack Forme. In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in its Defense Forme. In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in its Speed Forme.

From [[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VIII]], the player can change its form by interacting with certain meteorites while it is in the [[party]]: in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]]; in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}; in {{game4|BWB2W2}}, using the meteorite in {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]]; in {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]]; in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]]; and in {{game4|SMUSUM}}, using the meteorite next to [[Sophocles]] in [[Hokulani Observatory]] on [[Mount Hokulani]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player can win a [[Meteorite]] from an auction at the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if they own a Deoxys. When used, the Meteorite will cycle Deoxys to its next form in the order of Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, Speed Forme.

When recruited in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld; however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's Forme will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, it will cycle through Formes after being used in a dungeon, and in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, its Forme can be selected upon being added as a team member.

{{Evobox/Formes
|sprite1=0386Deoxys
|name1=Deoxys
|type1-1=Psychic

|sprite2=0386Deoxys-Attack
|forme2=Attack Forme
|sprite3=0386Deoxys-Defense
|forme3=Defense Forme
|sprite4=0386Deoxys-Speed
|forme4=Speed Forme}}

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes. In this form, it has very high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, but low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, alongside a low {{stat|HP}} stat (which remains the same in all of its forms).

Deoxys's Attack Forme has even higher Attack and Special Attack than its other forms and learns more offensive moves. Its Defense and Special Defense are abysmal, much lower than those of its Normal Forme. Its Speed remains the same as in its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher Defense and Special Defense than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are much lower than those of its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher Speed than its other forms (having the second highest Speed of all Pokémon) and learns many moves with increased [[priority]]. Additionally, its Defense and Special Defense are higher than in its Normal Forme, though its Attack and Special Attack are lower than in its Normal Forme.

In the Mystery Dungeon games, the drastic shift in Deoxys's stat distribution between forms is instead represented by passive [[stat stage]] modifications. In the Rescue Team and Explorers games, Deoxys gains +2 stages to each of its Attack stats in Attack Forme, but -2 to each of its Defense stats, while Defense Forme inverts these. Its Speed Forme reduces all of its stats, but increases [[Movement Speed]]. In later games, its Defense Forme instead has a [[Stat (Mystery Dungeon)#Speed|Speed]] penalty, and its Speed Forme instead gains Speed and only suffers an offensive penalty.

==In animation==
[[File:Deoxys Normal Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Normal Forme Deoxys in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Deoxys (M07)]]=====
Deoxys debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. Two fell to the {{pkmn|world}} in a meteorite; one had a green crystalline organ, and the other had the standard purple one. When the Deoxys with the green crystal (which spent most of its time as a crystal in the {{pkmn|movie}}) was taken to [[LaRousse City]], the purple crystal Deoxys followed behind and began to search for it. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal, and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

=====[[Deoxys (anime)]]=====
A Deoxys appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'', where its {{stat|Speed}} Forme made its debut. The DNA Pokémon played a major role in this episode and [[AG172|the follow-up episode]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'', a Deoxys was seen in all of its Formes. It crash-landed as a meteor on a deserted island in the middle of [[Diablo's Ocean]], shattering upon impact and leaving only its crystal. As a result, the local {{type|Water}} Pokémon worked together to gather meteor fragments to help restore it. This eventually worked after receiving help from {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

In [[PK21]], a Deoxys saved Pikachu, Piplup, and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Skitty}} when they all fell from a stone staircase.

In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', a Deoxys was battling {{p|Rayquaza}} in outer space. The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards [[Alola]], though it was ultimately cut up by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, saving the [[region]] from harm. In the episode, Deoxys appeared in its Normal and Defense Formes.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', two Deoxys were soaring across the sky in their Normal Formes.

A Deoxys appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{spoilers}}
{{main|Deoxys (Adventures)}}
Two Deoxys play major roles in the events of the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, referred to as "Organism No. 1" and "Organism No. 2". Organism No. 1 first appeared in ''[[PS269|Return to Pallet Town]]'' and Organism No. 2 first appeared in ''[[PS275|A Vicious Cycle of Possibilities]]''. [[Team Rocket]] sought Organism No. 2 for their own purposes, with {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} it and using it to fight {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Mewtwo}} aboard the [[Team Rocket airship]]. Organism No. 1 briefly returned in the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, being responsible for the [[Grand Meteor Delta]]'s near-collision with the planet.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Deoxys SSBB.png|220px|thumb|left|Deoxys in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
An Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes be released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It floats towards the top of the screen and does a spin. It will then shoot a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying. Coming in contact with Deoxys's body will do damage.

====Trophy information====
''A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple Formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from forme to forme. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Deoxys SSB4.png|220px|thumb|right|Deoxys in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
[[File:Deoxys_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Deoxys trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Deoxys appears as a Poké Ball summon in the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, its behavior unchanged from ''Brawl''. It also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''This Psychic-type Pokémon was born from a virus attached to a meteorite. It has four different Formes, but in Smash Bros. only the Attack Forme appears. In battle, it'll soar skyward before unleashing a powerful Hyper Beam attack straight downward from the crystal in its chest.''

'''PAL:''' ''Deoxys was formed from a mutated virus that came to Earth on a meteorite. It comes in four different Formes, but in this game, it appears in Attack Forme. When summoned, it heads skywards before firing its Hyper Beam attack straight downwards from the crystal in its chest.''
{{left clear}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Deoxys appears as a Poké Ball summon, retaining the same behavior from the previous games. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} in Normal Forme.

==Trivia==
* Deoxys was the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to not have exactly 100 points in each of its base stats.
* Speed Forme Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Defense Forme Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
* Attack Forme Deoxys is tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for having the lowest base Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
** Its Attack Forme also has the lowest base Special Defense stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose Forme change is triggered by different events between [[generation]]s.
* Deoxys is one of two Pokémon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team that has defenses over 100 at level 100 if not given any vitamins or [[Gummi]]s, the other being {{p|Lugia}}.
* In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, Deoxys's Forme changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and related media, including the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as well as in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change Formes at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change Forme in [[Pokémon Adventures]], its choices are limited by the environment.
* Due to the cause of Forme change in [[Generation III]] being the game Deoxys is in, ''only'' Speed Forme Deoxys is banned from the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, as only Speed Forme Deoxys is obtainable in Emerald.
* In the games, the [[Sevii Islands]] and [[Orre]]{{tt|*|excluding multiplayer modes in XD}} are the only regions where all four Formes have not been available.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music.
* Using the first letters from the names of Deoxys's three debut Formes, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, '''A'''ttack). This is reflected in Deoxys's Pokédex entry in {{g|GO}}, which orders its Formes on a list as such: Defense, Normal, Attack, Speed.
* Before [[Generation V]], Deoxys was the only Pokémon whose stats were recalculated (to apply gained [[effort values|effort points]] to its stats) immediately after a battle. Other Pokémon had to level up, use the [[box trick]], or be fed a [[vitamin]] or [[effort values#Generation III|stat-reducing Berry]] in order to have the effort values applied to their stats.
* When in the wild, or while looking at a Deoxys belonging to another player (e.g. while trading), it will appear in its Normal Forme in Generation III.
* Deoxys was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100111034554/http://www.go-pokemon.com/op/news/articles/16.html Pokémon Creators, Artists at the World Championships - Go-Pokemon.com] (archive)</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to be obtainable in-game in the core series without any event or distribution (in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}). Possibly as a result, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] and a [[Scholastic]] book on {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and Mythical Pokémon erroneously call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa08Y-fhfTI a YouTube video celebrating the number of Pokémon] after the release of [[Generation IX]], Deoxys is listed with Legendary Pokémon and not with Mythical Pokémon.
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose Japanese {{pkmn|category}} name is written with characters from a foreign alphabet, being {{tt|DNAポケモン|DNA Pokémon}}.
* A cryptographic cipher named <code>Deoxys-II</code>, after the Pokémon,<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OAq7Jb-WuUDeLF1XCNZLj9DlTFz9YVdU/view Deoxys - Jérémy Jean, Ivica Nikolić, Thomas Peyrin, Yannick Seurin | DIAC 2016]</ref> was selected as a finalist in the {{wp|CAESAR Competition}}.
* Deoxys and {{p|Spinda}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}. In Deoxys's case, this applies to both its Normal and Speed Formes.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to share its name with an English [[EX Deoxys (TCG)|TCG expansion]], the only other Pokémon being [[Platinum: Arceus (TCG)|Arceus]].

===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of {{wp|alien}}s and visual representations of the {{wp|nucleic acid double helix}}. It may also be more loosely based on {{wp|virus}}es and {{wp|mutation}}. It also strongly resembles the shape of a {{wp|chromosome}}, a package containing much of the {{wp|DNA}} of an organism. This makes sense due to its ability to duplicate, just like a chromosome does during {{wp|cell division}}.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. Normal Forme Deoxys's arms can sometimes be seen as represented by overlapping helix strands, which resemble the double helix coil of DNA.

Deoxys' association with meteorites, and its Pokédex entries which state that it is "an alien virus that fell to earth on a meteor", suggest links to the fringe scientific concept of {{wp|panspermia}} (the concept that life itself is extraterrestrial in origin, and arrived on Earth through celestial objects such as bacteria-contaminated meteorites) and its more concretely proven counterpart {{wp|pseudo-panspermia}} (the concept that the basic building blocks for life, such as {{wp|amino acid}}s, originated in space and arrived on Earth through celestial objects).

====Name origin====
Deoxys is derived from ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}''—or ''DNA''—the medium of genetic code in cellular organisms.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230508162421/https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/9-12/features/F_Pokemon_9-12.html Catch the Latest Pokémon!] NASA, 3 March 2005 (archived May 8, 2023).</ref>

'''Castform''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポワルン''' ''Powalen'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Castform changes [[#Form data|forms]] depending on the current [[weather]].
* During any weather not listed below or outside of battle, it will be in its '''Normal''' form and will be {{type|Normal}}.
* During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, it will be in its '''Sunny Form''' and will be {{type|Fire}}.
* During {{weather|rain}}, it will be in its '''Rainy Form''' and will be {{type|Water}}.
* During {{weather|hail}}, it will be in its '''Snowy Form''' and will be {{type|Ice}}.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Castform is an {{pkmn2|artificial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that changes appearance and attitude based on the weather. Its body is made of cells exactly like those of water molecules, causing its cellular structure to be chemically altered by temperature and humidity. Though not of its free will, Castform uses this ability to protect its tiny body. In its Normal form, it resembles a plain, gray cloud with a single wisp extending from the top of its head.

Regardless of the form it takes, it will always have a large, spherical head and a lighter-colored mask-like marking over its eyes. Various experiments were conducted to change its form in artificial conditions, but all have failed. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Weather Ball}} was its [[signature move]]. Despite its man-made origins, it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassland areas}}.

Castform is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Forecast}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Castform has three alternate forms: Sunny Form, Rainy Form, and Snowy Form.

Under harsh sunlight, it takes on its Sunny Form. Its lower half becomes pure white, while the head turns orange and develops small orange spheres around it. This gives it the overall appearance of the sun above a small cloud. Its skin glows and dries, and becomes hot to the touch.

When it is soaked in rain, it takes on its Rainy Form. It has a dark gray lower half resembling a storm cloud. The head turns blue and resembles a raindrop. Its body is soft and slippery and seeps with water when compressed.

When it is hit by hail, it takes on its Snowy Form. Its head turns purplish-blue. The rest of the body changes into the shape of a mint green, {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}. Its body becomes a smooth ice-like material, partially frozen measuring temperatures near {{tt|23 degrees Fahrenheit|−5 degrees Celsius}}.

===Form data===
Castform has four interchangeable forms, which it switches between based on the [[weather]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s and {{pkmn|Contest}}s, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}. Each of its forms has a different [[type]] to match the weather. Castform was the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms.

By default, Castform is in its Normal form and is {{type|Normal}}. It is always in this form outside of battles and contests. It begins battles in this form and reverts to this form if [[Recall|withdrawn]]. It has this form in any weather that does not trigger another form, or if the weather has its effects negated by an active Ability. In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform into its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}}. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform into its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}}. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform into its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}}.

In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). From [[Generation V]] onward, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its Normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's {{m|Weather Ball}} will usually receive {{STAB}} in any of its forms, except in a sandstorm, under {{m|Shadow Sky}}, or if it loses {{a|Forecast}}.

Castform's forms cannot be viewed in the forms section of the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex, nor do they appear on the field in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. All of Castform's forms will appear in the forms section of the HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokédex upon obtaining one, even if it never transformed.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], unlike most Pokémon with [[form]] differences, Castform's alternate forms had no {{Shiny}} variations of their own, so only the Normal form of a Shiny Castform would look different. Its Shiny forms were first seen in {{g|HOME}}; they first became directly obtainable in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (though they were also released in {{g|GO}} starting March 24, 2021<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/weather-week-2021/?hl=en Therian Forme Thundurus brings rain and wind to Weather Week!]</ref>).

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

==Other appearances==
{{missing image|section}}
Castform was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] that appeared at {{wp|Jump Festa}}.

==Trivia==
* Castform is the lightest {{Type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky]], Castform has a body size of 4, despite it being a body size 1 in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and having the same in-game sprite in Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. This is due to all 4 forms of Castform's sprites being loaded into the game's memory at once, meaning that it is the equivalent of 4 Pokémon with a body size of 1 each in terms of memory. 
* Before [[Generation VII]], Castform's Normal form was classified by Pokédex color sorting as white.
* Castform is the only Normal-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.
* Sunny Form Castform is tied with {{form|Rotom|Heat}} {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Snowy Form Castform is tied with Frost Rotom and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Castform}}
Castform resembles a living {{wp|cloud}} and acts like weather in general, but it may also be based on a {{wp|weather balloon}}. It is similar in both concept and design to a ''{{wp|teru teru bōzu}}'', a Japanese charm doll used to wish for good weather. Its forms and their types may have originated from the English saying "rain, hail, or shine". Its shape of a large sphere with two smaller orbs resembles an H2O molecule, matching how it is said to be composed of molecules similar to water.

Conceptually, Castform may also draw inspiration from or be intended to contrast with the {{wp|weather rock}} concept. These are stones jokingly hung up as a low tech way to tell the weather. They are intended to parody the poor forecasting of more complicated modern instruments. Given Castform's artificial origins and design to predict weather, but failure to transform until after the weather is already present, it may be comparable to the opposite extreme of a weather rock.

The Sunny Form looks like the {{wp|Sun}} on a cloud, the Rainy Form resembles a droplet of rain on a dark cloud, and the Snowy Form looks like a gust of wind or an ice cream cone.

====Name origin====
Castform may be a combination of ''forecast'' (the prediction of weather) and ''transform'' or ''form'' (referring to its ability to change form depending on the weather).

Powalen may be a combination of ポワン ''powan'' (onomatopoeia of a sudden transformation, similar to "poof" in English) and 変わる ''kawaru'' (to change or transform).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and friends decide to visit Professor Birch. On the road they are nearly run over by Birch in his jeep, on his way to the port to pick up Professor Oak. Ash and Brock join him, while May and Max head to his lab.

May and Max are admiring the Hoenn starter Pokémon at the lab (Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic), when Professor Oak shows up. He shows them the Kanto starter Pokémon he brought: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. May befriends the Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket arrives and kidnaps all six starter Pokémon, and Professor Oak and the siblings go after them. They track the thieves to a secret base, but fall into a trap and are imprisoned. Team Rocket also takes May's Poké Balls.

Meanwhile, Birch, Ash, and Brock are hot on the trail with the help of a Poochyena.

Oak and the siblings escape from imprisonment with the starter Pokémon. Oak has a Zubat use Supersonic on Team Rocket while the Bulbasaur uses its vines to grab May's Poké Balls. After running, they eventually find their way to an outside door, but can't break out.

Professor Birch and company arrive outside the door, where they use Water-type attacks on the door and then have Pikachu blast it with electricity. A group of Pokémon on Oak's side knocks down the now-weakened door with Tackle or Pound.

Team Rocket shows up again, but all of the Pokémon team up with their different attacks to send the crooks blasting off. After saying goodbye, the kids depart for Fortree City.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} admires his [[Badge]]s for a moment before asking {{an|Brock}} where {{ashfr|the group}} is heading next. Brock informs him of the [[Fortree Gym]], which excites Ash as he announces [[Fortree City]] is their next stop. Though {{an|May}} and {{an|Max}} is quick to remind him that they promised to see [[Professor Birch]] first. Ash point’s out the Professor’s lab in the distance, when suddenly Birch drives his SUV over a nearby cliff. He skids to a stop next to them. The group gets reacquainted and then Birch comments that he on his way to pick up {{an|Professor Oak}} from the [[Littleroot Town|port]]. Ash and Brock jump into the SUV while May and Max decide to wait at the lab for them. As they speed off, Max becomes excited at the thought of finally meeting his idol.

As the SUV speeds over a mountain trail, Birch becomes distracted as he points out a {{p|Skarmory}} perched on a rock. He is forced to swerve the SUV to avoid colliding with an oncoming wagon pulled by a {{p|Camerupt}}. As Ash and Brock recover from the ordeal, Birch embarrassingly remarks that everything is fine. Unknown to the group, Professor Oak is, sleeping with a cowboy hat on, hitching a ride on the back of the old man's wagon. Meanwhile, May and Max admire the new [[first partner Pokémon]] trio Birch is taking care of at the lab. Birch's assistant {{OBP|Joshua|assistant}} holds a {{p|Mudkip}} as May and Max pet the new {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Treecko}}. Joshua comments that it has been awhile since May got her Pokémon, and she happily remembers the incidents on [[AG001|the day]] she got {{TP|May|Torchic}}. May comments that she has come a long way since then. Max cuts in, remarking that she still isn't very good with Pokémon, and it ends with May chasing her brother around the lab.

Max bumps into Professor Oak, who lifts his brim hat to reveal himself. Max is in total shock as Oak greets him and his sister. After a quick inspection, Max declares that Oak is real and asks him to autograph a bunch of celebrity snapshots. He quickly hands Oak the photos and the Professor happily signs them. As he does, Oak notices that Ash and Brock are absent, though Joshua explains that they accompanied Birch to the port. Oak laughs and hands the photos back to a very jumpy Max. Max rushes back to Oak and asks if he brought along any Pokémon with him. Oak tells him to calm down and then reaches into his pack before calling out the three [[Kanto]] first partner Pokémon. Max happily inspects them. Spying from the bushes, {{TRT}} is enticed by the thought of having the six first partner Pokémon, but {{MTR}} suggests that they give them to the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} instead. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] wonder why and {{p|Meowth}} [[Boss fantasy|explains]] that with the first partner Pokémon, the Boss will have a new sense of confidence in his team. The three cheer with this new thought in mind.

Meanwhile, Max is busily inspecting the bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back. As he begins to prod the bulb, Bulbasaur turns around and slaps Max away. May asks her brother if he's all right and he seems impressed with the strength of the {{m|Tackle}}. Max goes over to the other two first partner Pokémon and begins to pull at their faces. The pair become annoyed, replying with an {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}} to Max’s face, though Max is still excited. Oak laughs and remarks that if Max likes them so much then he can have the responsibility of looking after them today. Max doesn't believe it and Oak comments that if he is up to it he'll let him. Max salutes and says he'll do his best. May says she'll try her best to help as well. Bulbasaur holds its vine up to her, and she quickly realizes that it is being friendly so she shakes its fine. Suddenly, a large {{p|Skiploom}} [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] rises above the trees. Before even saying their {{motto}}, Team Rocket launches a net and snags all six first partner Pokémon. As the mecha begins to fly away, Oak tells Joshua to wait for Ash and Brock. Joshua nods, so Oak and the siblings rush off to retrieve the Pokémon. At the docks, Birch and the others are dumbfounded at why Oak hasn't gotten off the ship. Birch calls up Joshua to find out Oak actually arrived but is now chasing after Team Rocket to retrieve the first partner Pokémon. Birch says they'll get back as soon as possible.

Oak, May, and Max have come to a river and wonder where the Rocket trio have disappeared to. Oak thinks for a moment, and then notices a cave behind a nearby waterfall. The three decide to investigate, and a bunch of lights hung up inside makes them realize something is up. Meanwhile, Joshua hands [[Bag|Max's backpack]] to Ash, Brock and Birch and the SUV speeds off to find them. Oak and the kids slowly walk through the cave, unaware that a motion tracker has detected the trio. The entry suddenly seals shut and a camera hones in on them. Soon they spot the six first partner Pokémon in a cage. They rush to reclaim them, but suddenly fall into a pitfall trap. Annoyed, May tries to call out her Pokémon, but a large vacuum suddenly sucks the {{i|Poké Ball}}s up. The Rocket trio taunt their captives before rushing off. As they go, a large metal gate shuts over the hole, leaving May, Oak and Max trapped until help arrives. Outside, Birch steers the car through a large rocky canyon. Birch informs the others that they are perfectly safe, but they begin to disagree when Birch drives the SUV off a ledge.

Team Rocket is now celebrating their victory with a toast inside their [[Secret Base]]. Meowth turns his attention to the surveillance system, where Oak is oddly still, but they think nothing of it. It turns out that Max placed one of his collectible photos in front of the camera, and the captives are now climbing out of the hole. Hoisted by the others, Max manages to climb out. Following on the Professor’s advice, Max has Torchic and {{p|Charmander}} heat the cage with {{m|Ember}}, then he asks Mudkip and {{p|Squirtle}} to cool the bars with {{m|Water Gun}}, and then has Bulbasaur and Treecko use {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Pound}} to knock the bars away. Now free, the Pokémon leap onto Max and hug him out of gratitude. Outside, Ash and Brock wonder how they are ever going to find the others. Birch whistles and a {{p|Poochyena}} suddenly appears. He has it smell Max's pack and it quickly takes off after picking up a scent. Inside the cave, the Pokémon have now helped May and Oak out of the hole. Oak thanks Max for his hard work, and they quickly turn their attention to retrieving May’s Pokémon. They peer inside Team Rocket’s base of operations to see the trio celebrating their success with food and dancing. May wonders how they can get past the Rockets and Oak notices a {{p|Zubat}} sleeping on the cave ceiling. Oak has it use {{m|Supersonic}} to hurt Team Rocket's ears, and Bulbasaur grabs the Poké Balls with {{m|Vine Whip}}.

May thanks Bulbasaur and they all rush back to the entrance only to find it sealed shut. An alarm sounds, alerting Team Rocket to their captives’ escape. Jessie checks the pitfall trap camera again, and realizes they have been conned as the photograph slips off the lens. James points out the Poké Balls are also gone and the three become enraged. Meowth presses a switch and a cage wall traps Oak and the others from going back the way they came. However, it turns out a {{p|Dugtrio}} is inside the cage as well. It [[Dig (move)|makes a hole]] and Oak orders everyone into the hole to escape. The hole leads to an underground spring where Max notices a {{p|Gyarados}} sleeping with its head on a rock. Oak warns that Gyarados are notoriously aggressive, so they tiptoe away. Team Rocket makes it to the cage to find that their captives have dug their way out, so they follow them down the hole. Meowth goes first and decides to remain quiet after spotting the sleeping Gyarados. Jessie and James, however, are two busy arguing, and the commotion disturbs Gyarados who blasts them with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

As Ash, Brock, and Birch round a bend, they spot a sad {{p|Poliwrath}} and then a group of Zubat sleeping in a tree. Birch quickly realizes something must be amiss at the nearby waterfall, so they rush to check it out. Soon, Oak and the others come to another steel door. Max sees a small hole to the side, but none of them are small enough to fit through. Max starts calling to the outside in the hopes someone will hear. As Ash and the others inspect the door by the waterfall, Poochyena hears Max and leads Birch and the others to the second door. Ash responds and is happy to learn that they have finally found Oak, May and Max. Oak inspects the door and declares that the right attack combination will destroy it. Following on, Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Lombre}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to douse the door with their {{m|Water Gun}} before {{AP|Pikachu}} shocks the door with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Oak orders Max to pick the Pokémon that know Tackle, and Max selects Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Mudkip while Oak calls on Treecko’s assistance and May uses {{TP|May|Skitty}} to help smash down the door.

The reunion, however, is cut short as Team Rocket in their Skiploom mecha bursts from the Secret Base's mountain roof. The mecha releases many hands to reclaim the Pokémon, but Pikachu manages to dodge one of them. After Ash and Brock’s attempts to attack the mecha fail, Birch suggests they attack together to overcome Team Rocket. Max orders Charmander and Torchic to use Ember, Brock has his Pokémon use Water Gun, and Skitty adds a {{m|Blizzard}} to the mix. As cracks begin to appear in the mecha, Pikachu blows it up with {{m|Thunder}}, sending Team Rocket sky high into the sunset. Oak commemorates Team Rocket’s latest defeat with a haiku about {{p|Starmie}} relating to the scene. The next morning, Ash and his friends leave [[Littleroot Town]] port on a ferry, waving goodbye to the Professors and Joshua.

* Ash's Badge case has a different design on its top in the English dub.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which of one these Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Slowking}}?
* Choices: {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Makuhita}}

'''Ludicolo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルンパッパ''' ''Runpappa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lombre}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

==Biology==
Ludicolo is a bipedal {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be a mixture of a pineapple and a duck. There is a green, sombrero-like growth on its head that is similar to a lily pad. Growing out of the top of its head is a short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. Ludicolo has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is covered with shaggy yellow fur and has several zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male. Ludicolo has large green hands with two black lines on its palms, and thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet.

Ludicolo becomes more powerful when it hears festive music and will appear near laughing children on hikes. The reason is due to structures in Ludicolo's body that can produce energy when hit by sound waves with a cheerful rhythm. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. This allows Ludicolo to face enemies without fear. Being the result of evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ludicolo is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found near the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Ludicolo and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Rain Dish}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Ludicolo evolves from {{p|Lombre}} and is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

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

A Ludicolo appeared in {{DetPikMov}}'.

==Trivia==
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dual [[Egg Group]] of {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}}.
** They are the only Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Rain Dish}} without it being their Hidden Ability.
** They are the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shiftry}}'s family. Both of them are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, and a respective [[Evolution stone]] is used to reach the final stage. Both are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and are based on Japanese legendary creatures or yokai: Ludicolo's family are based on the kappa and Shiftry's is based on the tengu.
*Ludicolo is one of the few Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] whose official artwork depicts the female form.

===Origin===
Ludicolo seems to be based on a {{wp|lily pad}} and the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that has a water-filled dish on its head and a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak (although Ludicolo's beak is closer to that of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|platypus}}). The colors and shape of its body are similar to various fruits such as a {{wp|gourd}}, {{wp|pineapple}}, or {{wp|papaya}}. It also resembles a stereotypical {{wp|Folk dance of Mexico|Mexican folk dancer}} or {{wp|mariachi}} performer with its {{wp|sombrero}}-shaped head, {{wp|poncho}}-like body hair, and dancing movements.

====Name origin====
Ludicolo may be a combination of ''ludic'' (aimlessly playful), ''ludicrous'', ''ridiculous'' (absurd or silly), ''paludicolous'' (inhabiting a marsh), and ''{{wp|Citrullus colocynthis|colocynth}}'' (a plant that bears a round, green fruit). It may also involve an anagram of ''loco'' (Spanish for crazy).

Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン ''runrun'' (happy or bouncy) or ''{{wp|Rumba (dance)|rumba}}'' (a Cuban dance) and 河童 ''{{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}'' or ''papaya'' (a green fruit native to Mexico).

'''Exploud''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクオング''' ''Bakuong'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Exploud is a blue, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large mouth. It has red eyes, a stubby nose, and two peg-like teeth in each jaw. It has protruding tubes with holes along its body: seven forming a crest on top of its head, one on each elbow and knee, two along its back, and one at the end of each of its two tails. The tubes along its head-crest and tails are tipped with yellow, while the ones along its back have yellow semicircular patterns on either side. There are two yellow semicircle markings on its belly, but they are rarely seen due to its giant mouth. Its arms have three thin stripes below its elbow and three fingers. Each foot has four claws, three in the front and one in the back, and a yellow paw pad.

Exploud uses the tubes on its body to draw in air and increase its noise-based attacks. Its bellowing is capable of triggering earthquakes and can be heard from over six miles away. While it only raises its voice when it is in battle, it can also communicate its feelings to others by producing whistle-like sounds. In the past, Exploud was used by distant cities as a way of communication. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

===Evolution===
Exploud evolves from {{p|Loudred}} and is the final form of {{p|Whismur}}.

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

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', two Exploud were used by Damos, who was under {{m|Hypnosis}}, to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Exploud again to attack Arceus.

In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', an Exploud was causing trouble for Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY045|Splitting Heirs!]]'', [[Blake and Heath's parents|Blake and Heath's father]]'s Exploud attacked {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, {{OBP|Blake|XY045}}, and {{OBP|Heath|XY045}}. It was mistaken for a [[wild Pokémon]] at first. Then, it was revealed to be Blake and Heath's father's Pokémon, who once often helped them remember how well they got along.

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Wake Up}}'', {{an|Hoopa}} summoned an Exploud to use its [[Sound-based move|sound-based attacks]] to wake Ash, but to no avail.

==Trivia==
* Exploud can learn the most [[sound-based move]]s out of any Pokémon, with 11.

===Origin===
Exploud seems to be based on a {{wp|pipe organ}}, a musical instrument known for its loud volume and many tubes. It may also draw inspiration from various other {{wp|wind instrument}}s, {{wp|horn (acoustic)|horn}}s, {{wp|loudspeaker}}s, or a {{wp|megaphone}}. The shape of its head is similar to the frills of {{wp|ceratopsid}} skulls, most notably {{wp|Styracosaurus}} while its mouth and teeth are similar of the jaws of a {{wp|hippopotamus}}. The curved yellow markings on its stomach and back resemble the stylized {{wp|sound}} waves on a volume icon.

====Name origin====
Exploud may be a combination of ''explode'' and ''loud''.

Bakuong may be a combination of 爆音 ''bakuon'' (sound of an explosion) and 音楽 ''ongaku'' (music), ''king'', or ''{{wp|gong}}'' (a loud percussion instrument).

'''Xatu the Future''' (Japanese: '''ネイティオのだいよげん！''' ''{{tt|Natio|Xatu}}'s Big Prediction!'') is the 234th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 31, 2002 and in the United States on February 8, 2003.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and friends meet a Xatu, a Pokémon said to have the ability to see into the future, and the young girl whose job it is to watch over an entire flock of the same and interpret their strange predictions. They meet her at a difficult time in her career, as the locals are just beginning to doubt the accuracy of these Pokémon's predictions, which have guided their community for centuries. The girl herself even finds her own faith waning, but when the Xatu forecast a cataclysm that would endanger all in the village, she must decide whether to trust in her Pokémon or to let age-old traditions fall by the wayside.

==Plot==
{{TRT}} finishes their latest pitfall trap just in time for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to fall into it. The group realizes that it has been very peaceful lately, so Ash decides to test the group by jumping on it. Team Rocket are shocked as their trap isn't being activated, so they emerge from their shrubs. [[Jessie]] demands that the [[twerps]] fall into the hole already. [[James]] jumps on the ground a few times, finally causing the whole ground to cave in and they all fall. At the bottom, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out and causes them to fall again, right through a ceiling of a tunnel. Jessie quickly [[recall]]s her nuisance Pokémon to his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

A woman rushes by, but with no time to speak, she tells everyone to simply follow her. The group arrives at a colossal tower built with rings, with giant spheres connecting them. Ash notices a few {{p|Xatu}} perched on one of the spheres and scans them with his [[Pokédex]]. The woman informs them that the Xatu can tell the future. Jessie and {{an|Misty}} are intrigued, but their pleas for a fortune go unanswered. The woman introduces herself as {{OBP|Calista|EP234}}, and she explains that the Xatu are often in a trance state because they are watching the future and past at the same time. She then calls out to a Xatu as she runs upwards towards an exit. Everybody else follows her and are amazed that the other side is a giant stone auditorium with a group of people sitting on the bleachers. The Xatu perch themselves on the surrounding balustrade. Calista holds two fans in the air and orders the audience to follow her movements. Soon, the Xatu do similar patterns with their wings. Jessie orders {{MTR}} to translate, but he reveals that he can only speak human and Pokémon. Calista suddenly concludes the day will be mostly sunny.

Suddenly, clouds gather and it starts to rain. Confused, Calista fears the "day" has finally arrived. She decides to hold off the gathering and runs back into the tower. Her two Xatu and Ash's group follow her, and shortly after Xatu Two joins them. Meanwhile, Jessie attempts to entertain the crowd with a game of paper, scissors, rock, but this only confuses the audience. Team Rocket soon trail behind. At a weather station under the tower, everyone watches as Calista sends out a Xatu-painted radar to check the weather patterns, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues downward until Wobbuffet causes them to roll into the station. Xatu Three makes some wing movements and Calista reveals that a human with the ability to predict the weather will appear today. James and the group look at each other but are none the wiser. Calista is certain of her interpretation because she is a thirteenth-generation Xatu prophetess, and she admits that Xatu Three is getting on in age. Jessie then reveals that she was once a meteorologist for a news program, but was let go because of her inaccurate forecasts. Xatu Three begins sweating, and Jessie urges it to stop looking into her past, and it eventually does when it faints.

Determined to solve the strange weather patterns, Calista orders Jessie to help interpret the data, but Jessie is unable to offer any insight. Suddenly the trio of Xatu spring to their feet and begin moving their wings. Calista is horrified and reveals that the long-awaiting "day" of a great flood will arrive tomorrow. She reveals that she and the Xatu's services will come to an end as well. Ash and the others plea for calm. Calista fears that today's wrongful prediction will jeopardize the trust the people have for the Xatu. Even so, she has faith in her Xatu's fortune-telling skills.

She takes to the stage and warns her followers of the great danger. The people rush to the stage and offer their many valuables as tokens of gratitude before fleeing to reach safety. As everyone waits, {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} arrives and delivers Team Rocket their overdue bill. As a result, the trio sneaks over and tries to swipe one of the valuable items, but Ash catches them before they could do anything. Team Rocket threatens Delibird, which prompts it to assist them. Delibird showers everyone with explosive {{m|Present}}s. James then sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Smokescreen}} while Delibird drops in a few more presents. Weezing then cuts the Smokescreen. Team Rocket is surprised to see that the Xatu are still there, but Calista explains that the Xatu were able to predict where to move to avoid being damaged. Delibird offers up another round of Presents, but this time they heal the Xatu completely. Just before Team Rocket can do anything else, Delibird drops a Present next to them and then leaves before it sends Team Rocket off into the sky.

The Xatu do another wing pattern, and Calista then reveals that the flood will still come, today that is. Calista watches as the Xatu continue to move their wings. She translates that Ash and his friends will be fine if they leave soon. The Xatu then describe fate, and declares that their predictions should only be used as a guide and not as a predetermined version of the future. Calista accepts Xatu's message in full. With that said, the Xatu {{m|Teleport}} themselves, Calista and Ash's group away before the flood hits. The giant surge soon arrives and floods the auditorium. Above the disaster zone, Calista then decides to move to a city and to pursue her real goal, to become a meteorologist for a news program. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the mud-entrenched ruins of the would-be weather station, still searching for any abandoned valuables. Delibird soon flies off, but Team Rocket knows full well that it will be back to collect its dues so they flee into the distance.

==Trivia==
* This episode was initially going to be called ''Future Shock''. Some cable providers erroneously refer to the episode as this working title.
* This episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun on the {{wp|Back to the Future (franchise)|''Back to the Future'' franchise}}.
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
* The way {{OBP|Calista|EP234}} and the {{p|Xatu}} communicate is similar to that of {{wp|flag semaphore}}.
* Music from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' can be heard in this episode.

===Errors===
* When the dark clouds first appear, Calista tells the crowd to stay even though it is pouring. However, the rain is only a slight drizzle at that point.
* Once again in the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, Delibird is mistakenly called "Thunderbird".

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, when Jessie talks about the ways she had her fortune told, she mentions women's magazines as one of the ways, while in the original Japanese version, she instead mentions tarot cards. The other ways she got her fortune told were the same in both versions.

==Blurb==

When a tangle with Team Rocket leaves Pikachu desperately exhausted, a young passerby offers to restore Pikachu's energy, but only if the humans present promise never to reveal to another soul what they are about to see. This trainer then proceeds to guide Ash and friends to a legendary lake that somehow seems to restore energy to the Electric Pokémon that live along its banks. Unfortunately, however, Team Rocket manages to tail the young trainers as they enter. Jessie and James are quick to make plans to lay waste to the serene lake, trading its pristine essence for personal gain.

==Plot==
The group continues towards [[Blackthorn City]], and {{Ash}} returns to his human self after being turned into [[Ashachu|a Pikachu]] by {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}'s spell in [[EP241|the previous episode]]. Now one issue is solved, but {{an|Misty}} is furious to learn that they are once again lost in a forest. Ash manages to settle Misty before {{TRT}} appear [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised in an orange and purple tuxedo]]. [[James]] removes the white cloth covering the [[Team Rocket's mechas|''PikaPower Mach II'']], a machine designed to restore electricity of tired {{t|Electric}} Pokémon like [[Ash's Pikachu]]. [[Jessie]] then rips Pikachu off Ash's shoulder and straps him in. Next, she radios in {{MTR}} who swoops down in the balloon and takes Pikachu, Jessie, and James into the sky. As they ascend, Jessie and James remove their disguises to reveal themselves. Jessie then tells Ash to command Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. But the energy is absorbed into Team Rocket's machine, which also has the power to forcibly drain its victims of energy. Team Rocket threatens to sap all of Pikachu's power if Ash doesn't hand over the rest of his Pokémon, but Ash simply tells Pikachu to give it all he's got. Soon enough, Pikachu's power overloads the machine and Team Rocket goes blasting off. Ash happily catches Pikachu, but the power drain has left him exhausted.

Just then, a girl named [[Krystal]] approaches the group. {{an|Brock}} instantly falls in love with her at first sight. However, Ash goes on to tell her that Pikachu is badly hurt and that there isn't a [[Pokémon Center]] for miles around. Krystal offers to help but asks them to keep a very big secret for her in return, and the group agrees to the request. She leads them up a large hill. As they walk, the group notices numerous Electric Pokémon climbing up the hill - Krystal tells them that they're all going there for a special reason. When they get to the top of the hill, they find a big lake, which Krystal claims has magical healing powers; the Electric-types come here to rest and recharge. She then orders Ash to put Pikachu into the water, and the Mouse Pokémon is soon good as new. After Pikachu is healed, Krystal takes Ash and his friends out to the middle of the lake in a speedboat to show them the secret to the lake's power. When they look down from the bottom of the boat, they see what looks like an underwater temple with a crystal at the bottom. Krystal informs them that the Electric Pokémon have been coming to the lake for years. She explains that according to legend, the temple sank into the water after torrential rains.

Unknowingly, Jessie, James, and Meowth are eavesdropping on the conversation and plot to steal the legendary crystal to become instantly rich. The evil trio put a plan into motion, and use a large mechanical {{p|Tentacruel}}. They retrieve the crystal with little difficulty, but its light suddenly fades out, alerting Ash and his friends that something's up. The Team Rocket trio reveals themselves, reciting their {{motto}} before floating away in their balloon. As our heroes fume over this occurrence, the Electric Pokémon start to follow Team Rocket in an attempt to get the crystal back. Ash orders Pikachu to {{m|Thunderbolt}} them, and the other Electric Pokémon join in on the attack. However, Team Rocket sucks in their energy with the new and improved ''PikaPower Mach III''. Gloating that their new machine is better than ever, the villains begin forcibly drawing energy from the Electric Pokémon, but black clouds appear in the sky, followed by a mighty screech and a huge bolt of lightning that breaks the circuit between the Electric Pokémon and the machine.

As everyone wonders what this means, the sky darkens and the clouds part to reveal the [[legendary birds|Legendary Bird]] {{p|Zapdos}}. In a rage, Zapdos flies towards Team Rocket to zap their PikaPower Mach III. However, even Zapdos loses energy and the group starts to wonder why it doesn't seem to have much power in the first place. Team Rocket gloats, but Zapdos unleashes its full power and overloads the ''PikaPower Mach III'', sending Team Rocket blasting off again. But then Zapdos falls out of the sky to the ground. Still angry and flailing about, it finally faints.

Krystal tells the group that this is the ''real'' secret - Zapdos itself often visits the lake to recharge itself. Needing the crystal to heal Zapdos, Ash and his friends set off to find Team Rocket and the crystal. Pikachu senses the crystal is nearby, so they follow it to where Team Rocket had crashed. In an attempt to keep the crystal for themselves, Team Rocket sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} - although James again has to deal with the latter attempting to eat his head. Jessie orders Arbok to use {{m|Poison Sting}}, but Ash's Pikachu dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. With Arbok thrown into Jessie by the force of the blow, James orders Victreebel to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} - however, Ash tells Pikachu to use Quick Attack again, hitting Victreebel into its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Ash demands that Team Rocket hand over the crystal, but Jessie instead throws Ash a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} balloon, which inflates and bursts. Under cover of the resulting dust storm, Team Rocket makes a getaway in a new Wobbuffet balloon - in response, Ash sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} and orders her to use her {{m|Vine Whip}}. Seeing the crystal being pulled from the balloon, James orders Victreebel to use its Vine Whip to get the crystal back. As the {{type|Grass}} types struggle to break each other's grip on the crystal, Jessie orders Arbok to use {{m|Poison Sting}}. However, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to blast Team Rocket off again, the crystal falling from their grasp. Running to catch the crystal, Ash dives off a cliff. Luckily, Bayleef catches Ash in time with her vines.

With the crystal secure, Ash and his friends return to the lake, where Ash dives underwater and places it back in its rightful place. He resurfaces, but the crystal remains dark. Pikachu and the other Electric Pokémon are determined, so they swim over to the crystal and use their attacks to charge it up. The crystal's mystical blue glow returns once again. The group puts the injured Zapdos into the lake, where it sinks to the bottom - however, the crystal stops glowing before it can heal the Legendary Bird. The Electric Pokémon charge up the crystal again, which helps power up Zapdos as well. Fully recharged, Zapdos rises out of the water, releasing a mighty Thunderbolt that completely restores the crystal's glow. With the lake back to normal, Zapdos flies off into the distance as everyone waves goodbye.

Ash and {{ashfr}} are then shown ready to leave, promising Krystal that they won't tell anyone about the lake or Zapdos. Brock makes a last attempt to woo her, but Misty pulls him away by the ear before the group continues on their way. Elsewhere, Team Rocket are clinging onto each other as they hang from a cliff. Zapdos soars passed them and delivers an electric shock.

==Trivia==
* The concept of this episode, as well as the appearance of the {{type|Electric}} member of a [[legendary trio]], is somewhat similar to ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', which focused on {{p|Raikou}}. It is also believed that [[Professor Sebastian]]'s Miracle Crystal System was made from the crystal seen in this episode. It is also implied that the crystal must have been stolen from the lake by Sebastian and his minions.

* When James says "Time to say adieu!", {{MTR}} sings "To you, and you, and you and you and you!" to the tune of the song ''So Long, Farewell'' from the musical film ''{{wp|The Sound of Music}}''.
* {{TRT}} is sent blasting off three times in this episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 4: Electric'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].

===Errors===

* When [[Ashachu]] turns back into {{Ash}}, Ash's bag magically reappears after its disappearance in the [[EP241|previous episode]].
* Voltorb is one of the Pokémon seen in the water, but throughout the episode, it says "Electrode".
* When Pikachu collapses from exhaustion, Brock attributes it to all the {{m|Thunder Shock}}s he used against Team Rocket. However, Pikachu had used {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* During one scene, all the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the lake shock the crystal. Ash was unaffected by this, even though he was in the lake at the time.
* Brock says that he thought Team Rocket's balloon had fallen near where he was when looking for them, but Team Rocket got knocked out of the balloon upon it exploding and therefore should not have crashed with it. In spite of this, they are found with it, anyways.

===Dub edits===
* In the dub, when Misty complains about being lost in the woods and not getting her "beauty sleep", Ash reassures her that they'll make it out of the woods and adds, "[B]esides, Misty, you don't need beauty sleep." In the original version, he only talks about how they are sure to find their way.

'''Phanpy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴマゾウ''' ''Gomazou'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Donphan}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
Phanpy is a small, horizon-blue elephant-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, floppy ears, which it uses as fans to cool itself. There are two red pads on each ear and another on the bridge of its short trunk. This small trunk is sensitive, yet strong. It can send a person flying with an affectionate, playful bump of its snout. Additionally, this little Pokémon is easily capable of carrying an adult human on its back. Phanpy has a single nail on each of its four feet, and a short tail.

Phanpy is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rocky terrain}}. To make its nest, it digs a vertical pit near the edge of a river. It displays ownership of this area by marking it with its trunk. In the deserted morning hours, Phanpy uses its trunk to shower in the river. Sometimes, groups of this Pokémon form and soak each other thoroughly. Afterwards, it can be seen drying its body near the edge of the river.

==Trivia==
* Phanpy can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Teddiursa}}: their evolution lines are exclusive to opposite versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form, and they both have {{a|Pickup}} as an [[Ability]] and lose it upon evolution.

===Origin===
Phanpy seems to be based on an {{wp|elephant}} {{wp|calf#Other animals|calf}}. The orange pads on its snout and ears may be inspired by the fabrics and jewelry used to adorn elephants during various {{wp|Elephant Festival|celebrations}} in India.

====Name origin====
Phanpy may be derived from ''elephant'' with the diminutive ''-py'' added to reflect its small size.

Gomazou may be a combination of 当歳駒 ''tōsaigoma'' (yearling) and 象 ''zō'' (elephant).

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

Smeargle is best known for its ability to use the move {{m|Sketch}}, which permanently copies the last move used by the opponent. Due to this, it can legitimately have any [[move]] in the Pokémon games except for {{m|Chatter}}, {{m|Struggle}}, and [[Shadow move]]s. As a result of this, it can pass on any [[Egg Move]] to Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}.

==Biology==
Smeargle is a bipedal, beagle-like Pokémon with white and brown fur. It has a long tail with an end resembling a paintbrush. This paintbrush oozes with paint, and the color of the paint may vary for each Smeargle, as well as change in hue corresponding to its emotions. Sprites from the games depict green, brown, and red, while [[EP197|the anime]] also shows yellow and blue. Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is the same color as the tip of the tail. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a {{wp|beret}}. It has floppy, brown ears and a brown collar on its neck. The rings encircling Smeargle's eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle's eyelids. Its arms have two brown bands, and its legs have only one. Each of its limbs have three digits.

Smeargle will use the paint to mark its territory. It can also use its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}, to copy moves from other Pokémon. Smeargle is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Due to its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, Smeargle can legitimately know almost any move, giving it a number of distinctions:
** Smeargle can pass down any [[Egg Move]] combination to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}. This was important in Generations II to V, when only the father could pass down Egg Moves.
** {{m|Hidden Power}}-evaluating NPCs cannot identify the type of Smeargle's Hidden Power even if Smeargle possesses the move, due to being unable to use the TM for it.
** Smeargle is able to Sketch {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, but the move will always fail when used by Pokémon other than {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]].
** Smeargle is able to Sketch {{m|Dark Void}}, but starting in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the move will always fail when used by Pokémon other than {{p|Darkrai}}.
** Smeargle is able to Sketch {{m|Mind Blown}}, and will successfully fling a {{p|Blacephalon}} head when used. The head will also be {{Shiny}} if the Smeargle is Shiny.
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move more than four times—some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* In the anime, Smeargle have been seen with different colored-tipped tails.
** This is also the case in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where they also have differently-colored backs.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is nonetheless present on its sprite.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Smeargle's tail has a brown tip in its normal coloration (as it was in [[Generation II]]) instead of a green one, despite these games being part of [[Generation III]]. This is due to the games re-using models from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] for first and second-generation Pokémon.

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

====Name origin====
Smeargle may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''.

Doble may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' (to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered). ''Doble'' also means ''double'' in Spanish, perhaps referencing Smeargle's ability to copy opponent's techniques.

==Blurb==

On their quest to capture Articuno on film, Todd and our heroes run into a frozen Jigglypuff! Ash uses his Cyndaquil to defrost the melodious Pokémon. When Todd asks Jigglypuff if it has seen Articuno, Jigglypuff nods towards Snow Top Mountain. Undeterred by the incredible height and icy conditions, the gang heads up the mountain where they run into a Pokécenter. Both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy explain the legend of Articuno; Centuries ago, a group of travelers were lost on the mountain. Certain they would perish, they almost gave up hope but an Articuno appeared and guided the group to safety. As a tribute, they created a statue of Articuno that still stands today. Some say that anyone traversing Snow Top Mountain is protected by Articuno. After hearing the story, Todd is convinced there are Articuno on the mountain and continues his vertical journey. With Ash and Co. in tow, a blizzard kicks up and temporarily blinds the group. Brock and Misty want to stay put and let the blizzard pass, but Todd and Ash are determined to continue. Little do they know, directly ahead of them is a cliff edge and a deadly drop. Will Articuno come to their rescue? Is this Legendary Pokémon really the guardian of the mountain, or is it merely a legend?

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Todd}}’s search for the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}} leads them towards [[Snowtop Mountain]]. {{AP|Noctowl}} returns to the group, informing them that it didn't see any signs of Articuno. However, Todd is certain that [[EP188|they saw]] Articuno fly to that mountain. {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} also returns to the group and it leads the group to {{an|Jigglypuff}}, who has been completely {{status|frozen}} along with its signature microphone. Brock notes that they haven't seen Jigglypuff in a [[EP149|long time]], and wonders what it's doing there. Todd has a hunch that Articuno may have frozen Jigglypuff. Ash has {{AP|Cyndaquil}} use a {{m|Flamethrower}} to defrost Jigglypuff. Todd rushes up to Jigglypuff and demands to know where Articuno is, but Jigglypuff is immediately annoyed and {{m|Double Slap|slaps}} Todd in the face. Misty takes a different approach and politely asks whether Jigglypuff knows where Articuno went. To this, Jigglypuff points towards Snowtop Mountain, confirming the group's beliefs.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is climbing up the side of Snowtop Mountain using a rope and two {{wp|ice axe}}s. A {{p|Spearow}} suddenly swoops in and takes one of [[Jessie]]’s ice axes, and soon the trio find themselves surrounded by an entire flock of Spearow. The Spearow peck at the last ice axe keeping them on the mountain, loosening it up and causing them to fall down the side of the mountain.

As Ash and friends walk towards Snowtop Mountain with Jigglypuff now in tow, they come across two {{p|Stantler}}, which Todd takes a picture of. Todd comes up with an idea to print out a whole bunch of those pictures and make them into Christmas cards. {{AP|Pikachu}} then points out a nearby [[Pokémon Center]], and the group walks towards it. As they approach it, they see a sign that says that this Pokémon Center is the highest of its kind in the world. Todd takes a picture of the rest of the group standing next to the sign. Just then, [[Officer Jenny]] pulls up to the Pokémon Center in her snowmobile and invites the group inside.

The group sits inside, warming themselves up, and Todd says that getting a picture of Articuno might be harder than he thought it would be. Ash comes up with an idea: once they find Articuno, they can just get Jigglypuff to {{m|Sing}} its song to lull Articuno to sleep. Misty is quick to point out that Jigglypuff’s singing would also put Todd to sleep. Todd admits that he would prefer a more natural shot that captures Articuno's true majesty. [[Nurse Joy]] then approaches the group with Officer Jenny, and admits that Articuno is a familiar sight at Snowtop Mountain. She shows the group to a 1,200 year old carved Articuno statue. Officer Jenny adds that some people believe that the Articuno still has nests in all of the highest mountains and coldest places, and that it flies from nest to nest, bringing winter weather with it. She mentions that there is a diary from one of the people who brought the statue up to Snowtop, which reveals that Articuno rescued him and lots of others. Todd suggests that that might be the reason why Articuno is in the area now.

It turns out that Team Rocket landed, but not in the most convenient of places: they are stuck on a small ledge of ice. Without their equipment, there is no way to get up and no way to get down. {{MTR}} rolls over on his side and dreams of sleeping on a coffee table. Jessie and [[James]] scold him and try to wake him up, but to no avail. James suggests that Meowth has the right idea. Jessie becomes frustrated and stands up, shouting out for help. However, all she can hear is her own echo. James says that at least their situation can't get any worse, but just then, it starts snowing. Meowth wakes up, confused, and a blizzard starts. The three of them hug each other, thinking that they are doomed, when Articuno suddenly appears before them.

After hearing about the legends surrounding Articuno, Ash and his friends become more determined to locate the mysterious Pokemon. Nurse Joy warns them that it is quite dangerous to climb an icy mountain like Snowtop. Brock promises Nurse Joy that he will guide the rest of them, and when Nurse Joy confirms that this will be Brock's first time ice climbing, she suggests that it might also be his last. Brock freezes up at this, and it then starts snowing. Once a blizzard blows through, Officer Jenny orders everyone back inside the Pokémon Center. However, Todd sees something in the distance, and Articuno flies upwards before Todd can get a picture of it. The blizzard suddenly stops, and the group notices a knocked-out Team Rocket mashed up in a pile of snow.

Back inside the Pokémon Center, Jessie and James shiver in blankets, while Meowth bundles up in his blanket and lays on the coffee table, just like in his dream. Brock tells Team Rocket that Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are preparing soup for the three. After Misty calls for Brock to help her out with the coats, Ash and Todd are left in the room with Team Rocket. Ash demands Team Rocket explain how they wound up in the pile of snow. Jessie and James explain that they were stranded and alone when a gigantic thing flew up out of nowhere and lit up, and then they all blacked out. Todd is quick to conclude that it must have been an Articuno, and he, followed by Ash, rushes outside to get his snapshot. Misty and Brock, holding thick jackets, see Ash run out. Brock mentions how they can't just run around a snowy mountain dressed like that. They run after Ash and Todd. Now left alone, Team Rocket realize that Articuno must have saved them, and remember that Articuno is a Legendary Pokémon. They toss away their blankets and decide to capture Articuno. When Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny come out with the soup, Team Rocket has already fled. Joy and Jenny go outside to look for them. Officer Jenny notices that her snowmobile is gone and knows that Team Rocket took it. The two realize that a storm is headed directly for the mountain, so they both agree to find Ash’s group and Team Rocket before the wintery conditions hit.

Ash and his friends, now wearing thick jackets, trudge through the snow as a blizzard begins to blow. Ash suggests that the blizzard means that Articuno is somewhere nearby. Pikachu and Jigglypuff seem to sense something. Just then, Articuno appears before them, and the blizzard stops. Ash walks towards Articuno, greeting it, when it screeches at him. Ash wonders what's wrong when he looks below him and realizes that he's right at the edge of a cliff. The group realizes that Articuno stopped them from falling over the edge, saving their lives. Jigglypuff makes a move to sing, but Ash covers its mouth before it can. Todd focuses his camera on Articuno when something suddenly attacks it. It turns out to be Team Rocket.

Jessie tells {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to launch another {{m|Poison Sting}} attack while James tells {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Sludge}}. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Articuno launches an {{m|Ice Beam}} at Team Rocket. Team Rocket hides behind {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, who uses {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Articuno is forced to dodge its own attack, but the Ice Beam instead hits the ice cliff behind it. A piece of debris lands on Articuno, sending it plummeting into the crevasse below. Ash and Todd run to save it, but the ground underneath them collapses and also sends them hurtling down. Pikachu and Jigglypuff jump over the edge after them. Misty and Brock ask if Ash and Todd are okay, but no response is heard. A blizzard starts up again, and its force is strong enough to blast Team Rocket off. Misty wonders how the blizzard started, and Brock suggests that when the ice hit Articuno, the power it was holding back was released all at once. Misty and Brock decide to head back to the Pokémon Center to get help from Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny to find their lost friends.

Articuno manages to use its powers to soften Ash and Todd's landing. The pair wake up and are surprised to have survived their fall, when they realize that Articuno must have rescued them. The legendary bird appears before them as Jigglypuff, who inflated its body, makes a gentle landing with Pikachu. The Rocket trio and their Pokemon soon crash down nearby, disappointed that they failed to capture Articuno. Team Rocket then spots their desired target and go on the attack again. Arbok and Weezing use Poison Sting and Sludge respectively, but Articuno whips up a {{m|Powder Snow}} that freezes the attacks solid. Arbok and Weezing use the same moves again, but Articuno quickly dodges them with its {{m|Agility}}. Articuno then sends out an Ice Beam, and Team Rocket hides behind Wobbuffet, who uses Mirror Coat again. However, the Ice Beam is too strong for Wobbuffet, and he is knocked to the ground. Articuno then uses {{m|Blizzard}}, and its force is so strong that Jigglypuff gets blown away from the scene with Team Rocket.

The clouds begins to disappear, allowing the bright sunlight to shine through. Ash and Todd then notice Articuno's blue plumage is shimmering in the light, just as majestic as Todd imagined it was. He takes out his camera and takes his long-awaited picture of Articuno. Articuno then flies upward, and Ash comments that Articuno probably knew that Todd wanted to take its picture, to which Todd agrees. Just then, Misty, Brock, and Officer Jenny find the boys and approaches them on the snowmobile. They get a glimpse of Articuno as it flies away and admire its beauty and strength. Misty questions where Jigglypuff is, and Ash and Todd reveal that it got blown away with Team Rocket. Ash hopes that Jigglypuff will be okay. Back outside the Pokémon Center, Todd informs the group that he is going to stay around Snowtop Mountain to take more pictures of the Pokémon that live in the area. Todd wishes Ash luck in the [[Johto League]], while Ash hopes that Todd's photography will continue to do well. Ash, Misty, and Brock say farewell to Todd as they leave the mountain. Todd picture of Articuno is then revealed to be hanging proudly inside the Snowtop Peak Pokémon Center.

At nighttime, Team Rocket is shivering inside a small cave in the mountains. Jessie and James are exhausted and decide to go to sleep, when Meowth {{m|Scratch}}es at their faces, forcing them to stay awake. Meowth warns his teammates that they might never wake up from the cold, and Jessie and James decide to stay awake. They suddenly hear Jigglypuff, as it appears at the cave's entrance. Jigglypuff stares at them with its microphone in its hand, and Team Rocket begs for Jigglypuff not to sing. However, Jigglypuff goes ahead and sings Team Rocket to sleep quite easily because of the cave's echoing acoustics magnifying its effectiveness.

==Trivia==
* When this episode aired on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, the first episode would follow it. The reason for this is unknown. It is possible that they may have lost the rights to air the last 20 episodes, much like how they lost the rights to air the first 145+ episodes.
* This episode's dub title is both a reference to the photography term, {{wp|Freeze frame shot|freeze frame}}, and a pun on {{p|Articuno}}'s {{pkmn|category}} (Freeze Pokémon). It could also be a reference to the song of the same name by {{wp|The J. Geils Band}}.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 5: Ice'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].

===Errors===
* After Team Rocket blasts off and the sun comes out there is a shot of Ash wearing all white shoes instead of his black and white ones.

===Dub edits===
* The original airing of this episode on Hungama TV in {{pmin|India}} started the episode directly from the title card, skipping the part of the episode that comes before it.
